Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for controlling an elevator installation, which has a passenger transporting between floors of a building elevator car.
  • the method provides that the travel wishes of the passengers are input via a destination call control and booked by the destination call control as destination calls.
  • an instantaneous load in the elevator car is determined by a load-measuring device at a definable time.
  • the invention further relates to an elevator installation which is provided with an elevator car, a load measuring device which determines an instantaneous load located in the elevator car and a destination call control, by means of which travel requests of passengers to be transported can be entered and booked as destination calls.
  • the present invention has for its object to avoid the aforementioned problems with incorrect operation of the destination call and to provide a method for controlling an elevator system and an elevator system, which optimize the transport time and maximize the transport capacity.
  • This object is achieved in a method for controlling an elevator system with the above features according to the invention in that the instantaneous load is compared with a full load parameter and on exceeding of the full load, a bypass function is activated.
  • the bypass function is activated for floors for which destination calls are booked and which are still passed during a half round of the elevator car.
  • a half-round in the sense of the present invention is understood to mean a travel of the elevator car between the reversal points of the elevator car.
  • the invention is based on the idea that peak times, which are also referred to as down-peak traffic in the case of a predominant downward travel, occur only at certain times. With the method according to the invention uniform waiting times and an optimized utilization of the transport capacity are achieved in these peak times even with possibly incorrect operation of the destination call control. By means of the bypass function, it is ensured that a fully loaded elevator car drives directly to the next exit destination and destination calls of passengers waiting in intermediate storeys are shifted to a next elevator half round.
  • the elevator car is activated bypass function, the floors for which are booked by the destination call control destination calls and on which passengers want to enter the half-rounds, as long as not approach until the instantaneous load is again below the Vollastparameter. This ensures that a fully loaded elevator car drives directly from the higher floors to the ground floor or to a main storey floor, without stopping on already booked floors and thus wasting transport time.
  • destination calls booked prior to the occurrence of the exceeding of the full load parameter, which were not served on the half round are shifted into a priority half round with the same direction of travel, preferably the priority half rounds from the elevator car following the first Semicircles is traversed. This ensures that after arrival of the fully loaded elevator car on the ground floor or on the main floor the elevator car drives directly to the upper floors and picks up the passengers who were already assigned to this elevator and could not be transported due to the fully loaded elevator car at the first downlink round.
  • the floor on which the exceeding of the full load parameter has occurred only then approached again by the elevator car, if all booked before the occurrence of exceeding the full load parameter destination calls on a first half round and / or following priority half rounds not were operated, are served. This avoids that the elevator moves in its upward rounds back to the floor on which not all passengers have entered their destination calls and the elevator car was fully loaded without the passengers were already booked. Thus, a repetition of the situation of the first downbeat rounds is avoided.
  • the elevator is set to a normal mode (operation without bypass function) after all the destination calls booked before the exceeding of the full-load parameter have been operated. This ensures that only after all non-transported passengers from floors that were not approached due to the bypass function, are transported to the ground floor or in the main hold floor, the elevator of the destination call control again entered destination calls can be assigned.
  • the measurement of the instantaneous load is advantageously made at the time of door closing. Thus, it is achieved that no change in the load of the elevator can adjust more, so that when comparing the instantaneous load of the elevator car with the Vollastparameter no errors can occur.
  • a number of free seats is calculated from the outgoing and incoming passengers booked by destination call control, wherein the elevator car only starts a floor when the number of free seats is greater than the number of destination calls from passengers to be boarded at the semicircular to passing floors is.
  • a floor lying between the floor at which the full load parameter has passed and the ground floor is deemed not to have arrived when at least one passenger's destination call on that floor has not been operated.
  • Floors on which the elevator car has passed without stopping are deemed not to have traveled.
  • floors that have been approached despite the activated bypass function, as passengers have exited, are considered approached when all passengers have been transported from this floor.
  • a counter which counts the launches of trips of the elevator car, in which the instantaneous load is greater than the Vollastparameter.
  • the bypass function is activated in such an embodiment only when a predetermined, adjustable value for the maximum number of such Vollast marsen is exceeded.
  • the value of the counter is decremented each time the elevator car is started with a smaller instantaneous load than the full load parameter.
  • activation of the bypass function is avoided, if not absolutely necessary, for example, when a fully loaded elevator car has occurred only at random and not within predetermined time periods or in typical situations.
  • the activation of the bypass function may be monitored by a period of time, wherein the time period is used together with the value of the counter for activating and / or deactivating the bypass function.
  • the time period is set to 5 minutes, and the value of the counter for activating the bypass function is periodically decremented every 2 minutes, for example.
  • the bypass function is only deactivated when both the time period of 5 minutes has elapsed, and the value of the counter due to the periodic decrementation is below a value for activating the bypass function and no priority half circle exists any more.
  • the activation of the bypass function is performed at a counter value which is greater than the value for deactivating the bypass function. In this way, a hysteresis function is achieved, which avoids a non-beneficial switching back and forth between activated and deactivated bypass function.
  • the elevator system comprises a group of elevators, wherein the bypass function can be activated separately for each elevator of an elevator group, so that the half-rounds to be pushed in to transport the passengers who are not being transported on the non-approached floors leave the elevator in question alone or operated.
  • the bypass function is activated jointly for all elevators belonging to a group, whereby only a part of the elevators for the operation of the unused floors with the waiting passengers during the Priority half rounds is used. Consequently, the other elevators belonging to this group can already work again in normal mode, or they can continue to work in the bypass function, in that the floor in which the overload has occurred is preferably operated.
  • all input destination calls are assigned to the first downlink priority round in the activation of the bypass function and an upward direction. This is necessary in particular when, with the bypass function activated, the elevator car is located on the ground floor or in the main retaining floor and its next direction of travel is the upward direction of travel. In this case, it is ensured that the passengers left in the uphill direction in the undelivered floors are approached at the following downward priority half rounds and their destination calls are served.
  • Fig. 1 is schematically illustrated the problem of incorrect operation of the destination call control.
  • Fig. 1 symbolizes 18 floors of a building.
  • half rounds HR1 to HR5 are shown by arrows.
  • An elevator car EC is located at floor 15. The following situation is conceivable in order to explain the problem.
  • the elevator car size is defined with 15 persons.
  • floor 10 7 addressees are assigned by the destination call control, which have the destination 1. That is, only 7 participants of the conference have entered a destination call.
  • floor 8 2 entrants are assigned who have the destination floor 5.
  • floor 6 1 person is assigned, who has the destination floor 1, and in floor 12 are assigned 3 Zusteiger who want to go to the floor 15.
  • the rides of the elevator car EC are scheduled in so-called half-rounds HR1, HR2, HR3, HR4 and HR5.
  • a half-round HR represents a journey in one direction between two reversal points, whereby intermediate stops are also included.
  • the floors where at least 1 passenger is allocated are marked with a plus "+".
  • the floors, in which 1 passenger wants to get off, are marked with a minus "-". If 15 passengers board at floor 10 instead of the 7 registered passengers, the elevator car EC is fully occupied and can no longer accommodate passengers in the floors 8 and 6. However, the elevator car EC still stops in the floors 8 and 6. In floor 5, the elevator car EC also holds for the booked boarding passenger from floor 8, who found no place in the elevator car EC, since the elevator car EC was already fully occupied in floor 8.
  • Fig. 2 schematically shows the inventive method.
  • the elevator car EC is located in the floor 15.
  • the number of passengers is as in the previously based on Fig. 1 explained example.
  • the bypass function activating the destination calls of the passengers in the floors 8 and 6 into the next priority half round HR3 and the up call of Floor 12 on floor 15 from the half round HR2 into the half round HR4 moves. All newly entered destination calls, for example in floor 10, are accordingly shifted to the half rounds HR4, PHR5 after the priority round PHR3.
  • the elevator car EC moves up into the floors 8, 6, 5 in order to convey the passengers who were not transported due to the bypass function in the first half round HR1.
  • HR4 is carried to floor 15 in the next upward round. Only after all forgotten passengers have been transported will later-entered destination calls from floor 10 be taken into account. When allocating new destination calls, any further lifts in the elevator system will help defuse the situation.
  • the activation of the bypass function can also be activated depending on other circumstances, except in the situation described above. This avoids unnecessary activations of the bypass function, which result from only accidental incorrect entries of the destination call control.
  • the deactivation of the bypass function can also be time-controlled. For this purpose, a period TDP and the value CFLDP is used. The time period TDP starts to run after the first full-load parameter is exceeded. It can also be provided that the period of time TDP begins to run only after the first start, in which the instantaneous load of the elevator car EC is less than full load.
  • the bypass function is only deactivated when the value CFLDP has additionally reached a predetermined value DPOFF. In this example, the value CFLDP of the counter is periodically decremented.
  • a hysteresis can be implemented in the DPON and DPOFF values for activating or deactivating the bypass function.
  • the above-described method for controlling an elevator installation is characterized by a tolerance against a faulty operation in the destination call control. This is primarily due to the bypass function, which prevents a fully loaded elevator car during a half round HR stops on floors 8, 6, 5, for which destination calls are booked, but where due to the loading of the elevator car EC no passengers can board.
  • the method thus contributes to an optimized utilization of the transport capacity of the elevator car EC and also ensures a speedy transport of the passengers.
