The configuration of the destination floor registration apparatus 1 according to the first embodiment will be specifically described with reference to FIGS. In this description, an apartment house such as an apartment is taken as an example.
The apartment house is provided with an elevator 2 for transporting residents and visitors to a desired floor. Furthermore, the apartment house is provided with an apartment door 3 that is managed so that only authorized persons can enter the entrance floor of the apartment house.

The destination floor registration device 1 includes an elevator control device 4 that controls the elevator 2, a door control device 5 that controls opening and closing of the apartment house entrance door 3, and an authentication terminal 6 that performs authentication related to entrance.
The elevator 2 includes a car 8 that moves up and down in a hoistway (not shown), a car call button 9 provided at a landing on each floor, a destination floor designating device 10 as a destination floor designating means provided in the car 8, It has a door light sensor 12 as a boarding / alighting detecting means provided near the door 11 of the cage 8.

When entering a housing complex, a visitor who possesses a card given to only a registered resident for safety or an unlocking means consisting of the person's fingerprint must use an authentication terminal 6 as an admission authentication means. It operates to unlock the apartment house door 4 and enter the building. The authentication terminal 6 instructs the door control device 5 to unlock when the visitor is determined to be a resident as a result of the authentication. At the same time, the authentication terminal 6 transmits information related to the occupant's residence floor to the elevator control device 4.
As shown in FIG. 2, the authentication terminal 6 authenticates the information collection means 14 for collecting information on the visitors from the unlocking means, and checks the information on the residents stored in advance based on the obtained visitor information. Authentication means 15 and storage means 16 for storing resident information.
The information collecting means 14 is composed of, for example, a card reader that reads the card when the unlocking means is a card, and a fingerprint collecting device when the unlocking means is a fingerprint.
The authentication means 15 performs authentication by comparing the collected visitor information with the resident information that has been input and stored in advance. Then, when it is determined as a resident as a result of authentication, the door control device 5 is instructed to unlock. Further, the authentication unit 15 searches the residence floor of the authenticated resident from the resident information stored in the storage unit 16 and transmits the residence floor information to the elevator control device 4.

As shown in FIG. 3, the elevator control device 3 includes a car traveling control unit 17 that controls the traveling of the car 8, a destination number management unit 18 that manages the number of authenticated persons, the number of passengers, and the destination floor of the authenticated person, There is a destination floor registration means 20 for registering a floor, and a storage means 21 for storing the number of authenticated persons and the number of passengers.
The car travel control means 17 controls the travel of the riding car based on the destination floor registered by the destination floor registration means 20 and the call registration input from the call button 9.
The destination floor management means 18 manages the number of people authenticated at the apartment house entrance door 3 and the destination floor corresponding to the number of people based on the residence floor information sent from the authentication terminal 6. Also, the number of passengers sent from the door light sensor 12 is managed. As for the number of authenticated persons, 1 is added every time the authentication terminal 6 is authenticated, and 1 is subtracted every time the passenger gets off after arriving at the managed destination floor. Further, the destination floor to be managed is newly added every time the authentication terminal 6 is authenticated, and is deleted every time the passenger gets off after arriving at the managed destination floor. The number of passengers is incremented by 1 each time a boarding is detected by the door light sensor 12. When the ride basket 8 arrives at the entrance floor, it is reset to zero.

  The destination floor registration means 20 receives two pieces of information. One is the destination floor obtained from the number of authenticated persons and the authentication destination floor and the number of passengers sent from the authentication terminal 6, and the other is the designated destination floor sent from the destination floor designating device 10. is there. The destination floor registration means 20 registers the destination floor based on the information of the authentication destination floor when the number of certified passengers is equal to or less than the number of passengers when the passenger car 8 stops at the entrance floor. Further, when the car 8 stops at the entrance floor and the number of authentication members is larger than the number of passengers, the destination floor designated by the destination floor designation device 10 is registered as the destination floor.

  The door light sensor 12 includes two pairs of light projectors 22 and light receivers 23 provided at both ends of the door 11 of the ride basket 8. Light rays projected from the two projectors 22 (one-dot broken line in FIG. 1) are shifted in the depth direction of the riding basket 8. A signal is emitted each time the light projected from the projector 22 is blocked. When the light beam of the projector 22 arranged in front is shielded first, it is determined that the passenger has boarded, and the boarding signal is obtained. When the light beam of the projector 22 arranged in front is shielded later, the passenger gets off the vehicle. The getting-off signal is transmitted to the elevator control device 4 after judging.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the destination floor designating device 9 has a broadcasting means including a display unit 25 for displaying a message, a destination floor designation button 26 for inputting a destination floor, and a speaker 27 for broadcasting the message.

Next, the procedure for getting on and off the elevator will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing an elevator boarding / alighting procedure using the destination floor registration device of the present invention. In this description, three residents A, B, and C are assumed and the residence floors are set as the 11th floor, the 12th floor, and the 13th floor, respectively. Further, the destination stock number S and the number of passengers R of the car are variables.
First, a case will be described in which three residents are authenticated and all of them get on the car.
In step S1, the destination floor management means 18 sets the destination stock number S as zero as the system initial setting value. Further, the destination stock floor SF [n] (n is a positive integer representing the maximum number of stop floors) is cleared.
In step S2, the authentication terminal 6 is operated by a visitor, and an entrance process is performed. The first visitor is resident A.
In step S <b> 3, the authentication unit 15 determines whether to perform call registration based on the resident number and residence floor information stored in the storage unit 16. Since no visitor is stored, the call registration is not performed and the process returns to step S2. On the other hand, since the resident A is registered as a resident, (1) is substituted for the destination stock number S, and the resident A's 11th floor is substituted for the destination stock floor SF [1].

In step S4, the car traveling control means 17 determines whether or not the traveling car 8 has started traveling to the entrance floor. When the travel has already started, the process proceeds to step S6, and when the travel has not started, the process proceeds to step S5.
In step S5, the basket traveling control means 17 causes the passenger basket 8 to travel to the entrance floor.
In step S6, the basket traveling control means 17 determines whether or not the riding basket 8 has arrived at the entrance floor. If not, the process returns to step S2. In this example, two people, a resident B (resident on the 12th floor) and a resident C (resident on the 13th floor), are further authenticated while the car 8 arrives at the entrance floor. The destination stock number S = 3, SF [2] = 12th floor, and SF [3] = 13th floor are substituted. In addition, the number of passengers in the car is reset to R = 0.
In step S7, the basket operation control means 17 stops the ride basket 8 on the entrance floor, opens the door 11, and waits for a passenger at a predetermined interval.
In step S <b> 8, the destination floor management means 18 counts the number of people who have boarded and substitutes it into the number R of people on the car. In this example, three people got on, so R = 3.
In step S9, the destination floor management means 18 determines whether or not R = 0, and when no one is on board, the destination basket is stopped and waited. Then, the process returns to step S2. Since there are passengers when R is not zero, the process proceeds to step S10.

In step S10, the destination floor registration unit 20 determines whether or not R = S. When R is greater than or equal to S, the process proceeds to step S11. When R is less than S, the process proceeds to step S12. In this example, since three residents A, B, and C get on, R = S = 3, so the process proceeds to step S11.
In step S11, SF [i] (i = 1 to R) to which the floor is substituted is registered as a registered destination floor. That is, the 11th floor, the 12th floor, and the 13th floor are registered as destination floors.
In step S13, the car travel control means 17 travels the ride car 8 to the 11th floor registered as the first destination floor SF [1], and lowers the resident A. Since the arrived floor is SF [1], SF [1] is cleared and (S-1) is substituted for S. In this case, the car stops on the 11th floor and the resident A gets off. Then, SF [1] is cleared and S = 3 is changed to S = 2. In addition, it gets on during this stop and the new destination floor is registered by the destination floor designation | designated apparatus 10 in the boarding basket 8. FIG.
In step S14, the vehicle travels to the next destination floor and takes the passengers down. It is determined whether the stopped floor is the same as the registered SF [i]. If they are the same, the process proceeds to step S15, and if they are different, the process proceeds to step S16.
In step S15, SF [i] of the arrived floor is cleared, and (S-1) is substituted for S.
In step S16, it is determined whether or not all destination floors have been reached. If not yet arrived, the process returns to step S14. When all destination floors have been reached, the process returns to step S2.

Next, a case will be described in which three residents continuously authenticate with the authentication terminal, two residents get on the car 8 and one resident does not get on.
Note that steps S1 to S9 are similar to the above-described procedure. That is, S = 3, SF [1] = 11 floor, SF [2] = 12 floor, and SF [3] = 13 floor are substituted.
In step S10, it is determined whether R = S. In the case of this example 2, since two residents A and C get on and resident B does not get on, R and S are different, and the process proceeds to step S12.
In step S12, the destination floor designating device 10 installed in the passenger car 8 broadcasts to the passenger to register the destination floor, and the destination floor designated by the passenger is registered as the registered destination floor. Since the resident A and the resident C designate the 11th floor and the 13th floor, SF [1] = 11th floor, SF [2] = 13th floor, and S = 2 are substituted.
In step S13, the car travels to the floor registered as the first destination floor, and the passengers are lowered. Since the arrived floor is SF [1], SF [1] is cleared and (S-1) is substituted for S. In the case of this example 2, it stops on the 11th floor and the resident A gets off. Then, SF [1] is cleared and S = 2 is changed to S = 1. In addition, the person who boarded during this stop can designate a new destination floor by the destination floor designation | designated apparatus 10 in the riding basket 8. FIG. The destination floor registration means 20 registers the designated destination floor as a destination floor.
In step S14, the vehicle travels to the next destination floor and takes the passengers down. It is determined whether the stopped floor is the same as the registered SF [i]. If they are the same, the process proceeds to step S15, and if they are different, the process proceeds to step S16.
In step S15, SF [i] of the arrived floor is cleared, and (S-1) is substituted for S.
In step S16, it is determined whether or not all destination floors have been reached. If not yet arrived, the process returns to step S14. When all destination floors have been reached, the process returns to step S2.

  The elevator destination floor registration device according to the present invention determines that there is a person who has been registered in the destination floor in advance with the authentication at the collective entrance but has not been in the car, and the destination floor in the car Since registration is performed again, it is possible to eliminate traveling and stopping to a floor where passengers do not get off, improve convenience for the user, and reduce power energy.
