DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a train door device, and more particularly to a train door device capable of smoothly operating a train.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art For example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. Hei 4-15159 discloses a conventional technique for controlling the opening and closing of a train door.

[0003]

However, in the above-mentioned prior art, the train doors are sequentially closed from the passengers who have finished getting on and off. If there is even one congested train door, it is pulled by the train door. It took a lot of time for all the doors to close.

[0004] For this reason, it has been difficult to operate the train smoothly, especially when the train is congested.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a train door device capable of shortening the time until all train doors close and realizing smooth operation of the train.

[0006]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention relates to a train door apparatus for controlling the opening and closing of a train door when the train stops at a station platform. In order of the degree of congestion near the platform door installed at the station platform facing the train door,
A means for closing and controlling the train door is provided.

[0007] By preferentially closing a highly congested train door, passengers will flow toward the less congested train door. That is, it is possible to close all the train doors in a short time by distributing the passengers instead of concentrating on certain train doors.

[0008]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a diagram showing the overall configuration of a train door and platform door opening and closing system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The train includes a train door 1 and a cab 2 for opening and closing the train door 1 and the platform door 3. On the platform side, a platform door 3
A control panel 4 for controlling opening and closing of the platform door 3
And a person recognizing device 5 provided on each platform door 3 for recognizing a person near the platform door 3.

The machine room is provided with a station control device 6 for calculating the closing timing of the train door 1 and the platform door 3 based on data output from the person recognition device 5.

The station control unit 6 includes a door congestion degree data creating unit 61 for calculating congestion around each door (home door 3) based on data output from the person recognizing device 5;
A door closing data editing unit 63 for determining a priority of the door closing timing based on the data stored in the door individual data storing unit 62; Timing editor 63
Is provided with an individual control output unit 64 for sequentially performing control output to the train door 1 or the platform door 3 based on the door closing timing data determined in (1).

Next, the door closing of this embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS.

When the train arrives at the station platform, the train doors 1A to 1F and the platform doors 3A to 3F from the cab 2.
Is output. The train doors 1A to 1F and the platform doors 3A to 3F which have received the door opening command start the opening operation and enter the open state. When the door is opened, passengers in the train and platform start getting on and off. When the passenger starts getting on and off, the person recognizing device 5 installed near the home door 3 recognizes the getting on and off state of the passenger and sends the recognized information to the door congestion degree data creating unit 61 (station control device 6). Can be The door congestion degree data creation unit 61 creates the congestion degree for each of the doors A to F based on the person recognition data received from the person recognition device 5 by the following method.

The method of calculating the degree of congestion of the door is to calculate the area X when the door is in the open state, that is, the ratio of the area closed by a person in the movable part of the home door, and calculate the degree of congestion (0 to 1). Here, the congestion degree 0 indicates a state where no person is present in the section (area X), and the congestion degree 1 defines a state where the section (area X) is completely filled with the person. In addition, the door congestion degree data creation unit 61 can receive data from the person recognition device 5 a plurality of times in the open state, average the data, and calculate an appropriate congestion degree.

FIG. 3 shows details of the door individual data storage unit 62 and the door closing timing editing unit 63 in the station control device 6.

The door individual data storage unit 62 receives the congestion degree data calculated by the door congestion degree data creation unit 61.

The congestion degree for each of the doors A to F shown in FIG.
Although the congestion degree at the station shown in FIG. 2 is shown, since the door A is closest to the ticket gate, the number of passengers getting on and off from the door A is the highest, and the congestion degree is the highest. Therefore, it can be said that the door A has the highest congestion degree in the door individual data storage unit 62 in FIG. Then door B and door C near the stairs,
F can be said to be the second most crowded after Door A because the flow of passengers is intense.

Here, if the degree of congestion is high, the time from the start of the door closing operation until the door is completely closed becomes longer, so that it takes time until all the doors are closed, which hinders the train departure time. Will be. Therefore, it is necessary to give priority to the door closing timing such that a door with a high degree of congestion closes quickly and a door with a low degree of congestion closes later. The door closing timing editing unit 63 edits the priority. The door closing timing editing unit 63 edits the door congestion degree data stored in the door individual data storage unit 62 so as to preferentially start the closing operation from the higher congestion degree. Therefore, when the driver's cab 2 issues a close command, the doors are prioritized in order of closing the door, with door A having the highest priority, followed by doors B, C, F, and doors D and E. Therefore, the door closing timing editing unit 63 outputs to the individual control output unit 64 in the above order. The individual control output unit 64 receives the train door 1 (train door control unit) and the home door 3 (control panel 4) at the timing received from the door closing timing editing unit 63.
And the closing operation of each door starts at that timing.

However, in this embodiment, even if the close command is executed, the closing operation is performed with a delay except for the door A having the higher priority.
It will take time. Therefore, the operation may be performed such that the backward operation is performed from the timing at which the door with the lowest priority closes, and the closing operation is performed earlier than at the time of simultaneous opening and closing.

As described above, since the closing operation is performed by editing the closing timing according to the congestion degree near each door, the time until all the doors close is reduced, and the train can be operated smoothly. it can.

In this embodiment, the congestion degree near the platform door is calculated, but the congestion degree near the train door may be calculated. Alternatively, the congestion degree of the passengers in the train may be detected for each train of the train set, and the train door (or the home door facing the train) of the car with a high degree of congestion may be closed and controlled with priority.

In the present embodiment, the degree of congestion near each door is calculated by using the person recognition device 5 and the door congestion degree data creating unit 61. (Congestion degree data) may be stored, the constant may be read, and the door closing order may be prioritized to perform the closing operation. For example, in the case of the station shown in FIG. 2, data may be input to the door individual data storage unit 62 as follows. Since the door A is closest to the ticket gate, the passengers getting on and off from the point A are the most. Therefore, the user inputs the highest congestion degree of the door A, and then inputs the highest congestion degree of the door B and the doors C and F near the stairs. Even if the estimated congestion degree is stored in advance in the door individual data, the same effect as that of the present embodiment can be obtained.

[0024]

As described above, according to the present invention, since the doors are controlled to be closed from the highly congested doors, the time until all the doors can be closed can be shortened, and the train can be operated smoothly. be able to.
