METHOD FOR SHOWING THE PLACE OF A MULTIPLE CAR WITH A PLANE

The invention relates to a method for displaying the position of a multi-car elevator at a level.

Traditionally, in a single-car elevator, the location of the elevator is displayed as a floor identifier in the car and also on the levels. This will display the ID of the floor where the elevator car is currently located or where it can be stopped next. However, the multi-storey elevator 10, where the baskets are connected together, usually a two-storey or a three-storeyed elevator, extends over several levels in the building. In actual elevator control, multi-car lifts use the so-called system position, which is usually the position of the lowest car in the shaft. However, this is not the 15 correct position information for the elevator user who is served by a platform other than the base of the system location. If the position displays on the levels showed the position of the lowest basket, then the wrong floor would be displayed to the elevator user that the upper basket would serve. This would seem confusing to 20 users, since the elevator that came to serve him would look on a different floor than where he was waiting for the elevator.

When developing the position display of a multi-car elevator, 25 are based on certain problems and basic assumptions. The passenger of the lift shall be provided with clear and unambiguous information about the lift, which shall be as easy as possible to use. Therefore, there is no need to display the whole set of digits on the level display that corresponds to the levels 30 in which the multi-deck elevator is at any given time. Such -r :; the display would be very confusing. Since the level display must be as simple as possible, it can also be assumed that the elevator passenger does not need to know which of the baskets serves him. It can even be assumed that the passenger does not even need to know that it is a multi-car lift. The passenger will have enough information about the basket that is going to serve him, regardless of the other baskets and their locations that may be carried.

In view of the above problems and starting points, it is an object of the invention to provide a novel method of displaying a monicoric elevator position at a level. In particular, it is an object of the invention to provide a platform display of a multi-car elevator that is as simple and easy to understand as possible for the elevator user.

As regards the aspects of the invention, reference is made to the claim 10.

The basic idea of the method of the invention for displaying the position of a multi-car elevator at a level is that a level display corresponding to the location of the car closest to that level is displayed on a level display of a certain level.

Particularly in slower-moving elevators, the position of the closest basket can be taken to mean the physical, actual position of the basket, whereby the level display is directly determined by the minimum distance of 20 cars from that level.

However, since multi-car lifts are generally used in tall buildings where the elevator speeds are also high, the display of the physical, real position of the car is often not justified. Therefore, preferably the basket closest to the level refers to the basket closest to the level functionally.

Functionally, the closest basket refers to a basket 30 that can next serve that level. Thus, if the basket is stationary, the display is natural and clear. . Instead, when the baskets are moving up or down, the basket just above that level will no longer be able to stop at this level and thus will not be able to serve the next 35 levels. Therefore, the moving closest movable basket is, functionally, the basket which may subsequently stop at that level.

Preferably, when the cages are in motion, the closest cage is determined not only by the physical position of the cage, but also by its direction of motion, speed of movement, and required stopping distance.

The process according to the invention provides significant advantages. The passenger always gets the correct information about the location of the service basket. In addition, this information is as simple as possible, ie the position information of only one car, so that the mat-10 operator does not even need to know that he is traveling in a multi-car lift. In addition, the method can utilize the serial communication technology and intelligent flatbed devices already used in current elevator controls, without which the method according to the invention would be difficult and expensive to implement without the conventional technique alone.

The invention will now be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawing, which schematically illustrates the operation of a level display according to the invention.

20

The drawing schematically shows a 12-storey building, i.e. levels 1-12, and an elevator position display at each level in various operating situations where the closest basket refers to the 25 closest baskets functionally. An example is a triple deck elevator, i.e. a three-car elevator with basket c at the top, basket b at the center and basket a at the lowest, and it is further assumed that the car requires full speed to stop between the two floors.

30

Example A: With the triple deck basket in place, on floors 6 to 8, it is natural for basket c to serve level 8 and level 8 to display number 8. Similarly, levels 7 and 6 have screens 7 and 6. From level 9 to level, number 8, kos-35 ka basket c, which is level 8, is closest to these levels and can serve these levels next. Similarly, from level 5 downwards, level displays have a number 6 because basket a is 4111621 closest to these levels and is capable of serving those levels next.

Example B: With the triple deck basket at full speed 5 up at levels 6-8, the level displays are no longer similar to Example A. For example, if the basket speed is about 10 meters per second, stopping it requires a distance of about two planes. Therefore, at the level 8, neither the position of the car c nor the position of the car b can be displayed, since the next car 10 that can serve the level 8 is the car a which just stops at level 8 if called at level 6. Similarly, level 9 is the level display 7, i.e. the position of the basket b, and only upwards from level 10 is the position of the level c basket. Of course, in the downstream direction, all levels show the 15 positions of a basket closest to these levels and which can serve these levels first.

Example C: This example is similar to the previous example, but the triple deck elevator only runs at full speed 20 down. Similarly, in this example, the basket a at level 6 can only stop at level 4, so that only down from level 4 the level displays show the car a in place. At level 5, the level display has the position of the car b, i.e. the level 7, because the car a is no longer able to stop at the level 5 and the car b can stop at this 25 level before the car c. Thus, the basket b is functionally closest to level 5. Similarly, the basket c is functionally closest to all levels from level 6 upwards, whereby all of these levels show the position of basket c, i.e. level 8.

30

Example D: In this example, the triple deck basket is traveling downward on floors 6-8, but has begun to stop, ie it is no longer traveling at maximum speed. Assume that its speed is half the maximum speed. In this case, there is only one level interval between the 35 stopping distances. In this case, the basket a at level 6 may already stop at level 5 and down at all levels, so that the level of basket a, i.e. level 6, is displayed on all levels down from level 5. the level 6 display has a platform b position, i.e. level 7. Similarly, with respect to the stopping distance, the platform c is functionally closest to level 7 as well as all levels upwards, with 5 of these levels displaying the platform c position or level 8.

The invention has been described above by way of example with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which various embodiments of the invention are possible within the scope of the inventive idea defined by the claims.
