  Next, referring to the flowcharts of FIGS. 3-1, 3-2, 4-1, 4-2, 10, and 12, the operation of the non-interference control apparatus 10 according to the embodiment of the present invention. Will be explained. When a transport instruction plan is input from the county management device 30, the transport instruction buffer 11 receives the transport instruction plan and outputs the received transport instruction plan to the transport instruction plan correction unit A12 (step S100 in FIG. 3A). , S101).

  The transportation instruction plan correction unit A12 generates a transportation instruction plan in the operation order by rearranging the transportation instruction plans in the transportation order of the elevators 50 and 70 according to the operation rules of the general elevator based on the current elevator position and the elevator movement state. The conveyance instruction plan correction process A to be executed is executed (step S102 in FIG. 3A).

  The operation of the conveyance instruction plan correction process A will be described in detail with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS. The conveyance instruction plan correction unit A12 sorts the conveyance instruction plans according to the direction based on the conveyance rank No. 1 according to the general elevator rule (step S200 in FIG. 4A).

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 5A and FIG. 5B, the transportation instruction plan corresponds to the elevators 50 and 70, and transportation from which floor (FROM) to which floor (TO) moves. Instructions are registered in the order of registration. The transportation instruction plan for the elevator 50 shown in FIG. 5A includes 3 “moving from the 11th floor to the 15th floor”, “moving from the 12th floor to the 13th floor”, and “moving from the 10th floor to the 6th floor”. One transport instruction is registered.

  The conveyance instruction plan correction unit A12 determines the movement direction (up or down) based on the conveyance instruction in the registration order 1. Since the registration order 1 of the transport instruction plan of the elevator 50 is a transport instruction that says “move from the 11th floor to the 15th floor”, the transport instruction plan correction unit A12 sorts the transport instructions that indicate the upward direction and indicates the upward direction. The transport instructions are rearranged in the order of the transport instruction and the transport instruction indicating descending. In the case of FIG. 5A, the transport instruction in the registration order 2 indicates upstream and the transport instruction in the registration order 3 indicates downward. Therefore, even if the transport instructions are rearranged, the “registration order” is the same as in FIG. 1, registration order 2, registration order 3 ". In the case of FIG. 5B, the transport instruction in registration order 1 indicates uplink, the transport instruction in registration order 2 indicates downlink, and the transport instruction in registration order 3 indicates uplink. The transport instructions are rearranged in the order of “Order 3, Registration Order 2”.

  The conveyance instruction plan correction unit A12 sorts the conveyance instruction plans rearranged for each direction in order of increasing ascending / descending distance for each direction (step S201 in FIG. 4A). Assuming that the current position of the elevator 50 is on the 10th floor, the transport instruction plan correction unit A12 is the highest on the 10th floor among the transport orders of registration order 1 and 2 in the transport instruction plan for the elevator 50 (see FIG. 5A). In order from the nearest 11th floor, the 11th floor, the 12th floor, the 13th floor, and the 15th floor are rearranged. Add a transport instruction to move from the 10th floor to the 11th floor, which is the current position of the elevator 50, and "Move from the 10th floor to the 11th floor", "Move from the 11th floor to the 12th floor", "12th floor to 13th floor" “Move to”, “Move from the 13th floor to the 15th floor”, the transport instruction is the transport instruction plan for the elevator 50. The conveyance instruction plan correction unit A12 similarly applies a conveyance instruction such as “move from the 15th floor to the 10th floor” and “move from the 10th floor to the 6th floor” as the conveyance instruction plan for the down of the elevator 50. To do.

  Assuming that the current position of the elevator 70 is the first floor, the upward conveyance instruction plan of the elevator 70 is “moving from the first floor to the second floor”, “moving from the second floor to the sixth floor”, “from the sixth floor to the eighth floor”. “Move to the floor”, “Move from the 8th floor to the 12th floor”, and the transportation instruction plan for the elevator 70 will be “Move from the 12th floor to the 10th floor” and “Move from the 10th floor to the 1st floor”. .

  The conveyance instruction plan correction unit A12 determines whether or not it is the initial start, that is, the start of non-interference control for moving the elevators 50 and 70 for the first time (step S202 in FIG. 4A). When it determines with initial start, conveyance instruction | indication plan correction part A12 outputs the conveyance instruction | indication plan sorted in order with the ascending / descending distance according to direction to the elevator operation | movement prediction part 13 as an operation order conveyance instruction | indication plan, and complete | finishes a process.

  If it is determined that it is not an initial start (non-interference control is being executed), the transport instruction plan sorted in order of ascending / descending distance by direction is a newly added new transport instruction plan. It is determined whether or not the movement direction of the new conveyance instruction plan is the same as the current movement direction (step S203 in FIG. 4A).

  When it is determined that the movement directions are the same, the conveyance instruction plan correction unit A12 determines whether or not the number of floors indicated by the FROM (floor number from the floor) of the conveyance instruction of the new conveyance instruction plan is passed based on the current elevator position. Is determined (step S204 in FIG. 4A). If the floor indicated by the transfer instruction FROM of the new transfer instruction plan does not pass, the transfer instruction plan correction unit A12 determines that the floor indicated by the transfer instruction FROM of the new transfer instruction plan is within the final purpose of the transfer instruction plan being executed. That is, the floor indicated by the FROM of the transfer instruction of the new transfer instruction plan is between the current position and the floor indicated by TO (the floor number to which floor) of the last transfer instruction in the same direction of the currently executed transfer instruction plan. Is determined (step S205 in FIG. 4A).

  When the number of floors indicated by the transfer instruction FROM of the new transfer instruction plan is within the final purpose of the transfer instruction plan being executed, the transfer instruction plan correction unit A12 displays a new transfer instruction FROM during the transfer instruction plan being executed. The floor shown is interrupted (step S206 in FIG. 4A). In other words, a new transfer instruction FROM is added to the FROM and TO of the transfer instruction plan in the same direction of the transfer instruction plan being executed, and the currently executed transfer instruction plan is rearranged in the order of operation.

  The conveyance instruction plan correction unit A12 determines whether the floor indicated by the TO of the conveyance instruction of the new conveyance instruction plan is within the final purpose of the conveyance instruction plan being executed (step S207 in FIG. 4A). If it is determined that the floor indicated by the TO of the transfer instruction plan of the new transfer instruction plan is within the final purpose of the transfer instruction plan being executed, the transfer instruction plan correction unit A12 performs a new transfer during the transfer instruction plan being executed. The floor number indicated by the instruction TO is interrupted (step S208 in FIG. 4A). That is, a new transfer instruction TO is added to the FROM and TO of the transfer instruction plan in the same direction of the transfer instruction plan being executed, and the transfer instruction plan being executed is rearranged in the order of operation.

  When it is determined that the floor indicated by the TO of the transfer instruction in the new transfer instruction plan is not within the final purpose of the transfer instruction plan being executed, the transfer instruction plan correction unit A12 performs a new transfer at the end of the transfer instruction plan being executed. The floor number indicated by the instruction TO is added (step S209 in FIG. 4A). That is, a new transfer instruction TO is added to the FROM and TO of the transfer instruction plan in the same direction of the transfer instruction plan being executed, and the transfer instruction plan being executed is rearranged in the order of operation.

  The movement direction of the new conveyance instruction plan and the current movement direction are the same, the number of floors indicated by the conveyance instruction FROM of the new conveyance instruction plan is not passed, and the floor number indicated by the conveyance instruction FROM of the new conveyance instruction plan is If it is not within the final target floor of the currently executed transfer instruction plan, the transfer instruction plan correction unit A12 adds a new transfer instruction plan to the end of the transfer instruction in the same direction of the currently executed transfer instruction plan (FIG. 4). 1 step S210).

  If the movement direction of the conveyance instruction of the new conveyance instruction plan is the same as the current movement direction, and the number of floors indicated by the FROM of the conveyance instruction of the new conveyance instruction plan has already passed, the conveyance instruction plan correction unit A12 Is a multi-shaft system (step S211 in FIG. 4A).

  When the elevator system is a multi-shaft system, the conveyance instruction plan correction unit A12 notifies the county management device 30 that the floor indicated by the FROM of the conveyance instruction of the new conveyance instruction plan has already been passed and ends the process. (Step S212 in FIG. 4A).

  When the elevator system is not a multi-shaft system, the conveyance instruction plan correction unit A12 temporarily stores the floor number indicated by the FROM of the conveyance instruction of the new conveyance instruction plan (step S213 in FIG. 4A). The conveyance instruction plan correction unit A12 resets the number of times indicated by the FROM temporarily stored at the rising end of the execution conveyance instruction plan, and ends the process (step S214 in FIG. 4A).

  If the movement direction of the new conveyance instruction plan is different from the current movement direction, the conveyance instruction plan correction unit A12 determines whether or not there is a conveyance instruction plan in the direction opposite to the current operation (step S215 in FIG. 4-2). . If there is no transfer instruction plan in the direction opposite to the current operation, the transfer instruction plan correction unit A12 generates a transfer instruction plan in the direction opposite to the current operation from the transfer instruction in the new transfer instruction plan (step S216 in FIG. 4-2). ).

  If there is a transfer instruction plan in the direction opposite to the current operation, the transfer instruction plan correction unit A12 interrupts the transfer instruction FROM and TO of the new transfer instruction plan from the end floor of the currently executed transfer instruction plan to the transfer instruction plan in the opposite direction. (Step S217 in FIG. 4-2). Specifically, starting from the last floor number of the currently executed transfer instruction plan, the transfer instruction plan is rearranged in the operation order including the transfer instruction FROM and TO of the new transfer instruction plan in the transfer instruction plan in the direction opposite to the current operation. Create

  In this way, the transportation instruction plan correction unit A12 rearranges the transportation instruction plan in the transportation order of the elevators 50 and 70 according to the operation rules of the general elevator on the basis of the current elevator position and the elevator movement state. Is generated. The conveyance instruction plan correction unit A12 outputs the generated conveyance instruction plan to the elevator operation prediction unit 13 and the conveyance instruction plan correction unit B18. When notified to the group management apparatus 30 or when the number of times indicated by the temporarily stored FROM at the rising end of the currently executed transfer instruction plan is reset, the transfer instruction plan correction unit A12 does not output the transfer instruction plan. The process ends. That is, the conveyance instruction plan correction unit A12 outputs the corrected conveyance instruction plan to the elevator operation prediction unit 13 and the conveyance instruction plan correction unit B18 only when the conveyance instruction plan is corrected.

  Returning to FIG. 3A, when the transport record receiving unit 23 has not received the transport record from the elevators 50 and 70 (No in step S <b> 103 in FIG. 3A), the elevator operation predicting unit 13 corrects the transport instruction plan. Based on the conveyance instruction | indication plan produced | generated by part A12, the conveyance simulation classified by number machine is performed (step S104 of FIGS. 3-1). Specifically, the elevator operation prediction unit 13 calculates the speed pattern of the elevators 50 and 70 and the time of getting on and off the floors of the elevators 50 and 70 from the elevator current position, the elevator operation status, the elevator operation pattern, and the opening time of each floor. The predicted stop pattern is obtained, and a transport simulation for each unit of the transport instruction plan is executed.

  FIG. 6 shows an example of an execution result of the transport simulation for each car executed by the elevator operation prediction unit 13. As shown in FIG. 6, the elevator motion prediction unit 13 creates a lift trajectory prediction diagram in the transport instruction plan for the elevators 50 and 70, where the vertical axis indicates the lift position of the elevators 50 and 70 and the horizontal axis indicates the time axis. When the elevator motion prediction unit 13 creates the up-and-down trajectory prediction diagram shown in FIG. 6, the elevator operation predicting unit 13 calls the intermediate floor that is executing the schedule according to the general elevator operation even if the transportation instruction plan is fluctuated due to factors such as the registration order. It is possible to predict including movements corresponding to down and down.

  The elevator operation prediction unit 13 predicts the inter-unit distance d based on the transport simulation result for each unit (elevation trajectory prediction diagram). The elevator operation prediction unit 13 outputs the predicted inter-unit distance d to the interference detection unit 14 (step S105 in FIG. 3A).

  The interference detection unit 14 compares the inter-unit distance d input from the elevator operation prediction unit 13 and the collision danger distance Lc, and the elevator 50 and the elevator 70 are covered over the entire section of the lift locus prediction diagram shown in FIG. Whether or not interference occurs is determined (step S106 in FIG. 3A). In FIG. 6, the inter-unit distance d is smaller than the collision danger distance Lc between time t1 and time t2 (detection of occurrence of interference). When detecting the occurrence of interference, the interference detection unit 14 notifies the interference avoidance unit 15 that the interference has been detected.

  When the notification is received from the interference detection unit 14, the interference avoidance unit 15 determines the priority elevator and the non-priority elevator based on the predetermined priority condition and the operation status of the elevator when the interference occurs. In this case, it is determined whether or not priority is given to the elevator 50 (unit 1) (step S107 in FIG. 3A).

  FIG. 8 shows a priority condition as to which of the elevators 50 and 70 (No. 1 and No. 2) is prioritized. The interference detection unit 14 determines a preferred elevator based on the priority condition shown in FIG. In the priority condition shown in FIG. 8, when one of the elevators 50 and 70 is moving up and down, priority is given to the elevators 50 and 70 that are moving up and down, and one of the elevators 50 and 70 is stopped at the landing. When the other elevators 50 and 70 are stopped without jobs (there is no transportation instruction plan), priority is given to the elevators 50 and 70 that are stopped at the landing. Further, when the elevators 50 and 70 are operated in the same manner, the elevators 50 and 70 having a load weight equal to or less than a predetermined value (for example, an empty vehicle) are not given priority. It is defined that priority is given to the elevators 50 and 70 having a higher transport order. The interference detection unit 14 determines the elevator to be prioritized based on the operation status of the elevators 50 and 70 and the priority condition.

  When it is determined that the elevator 50 (No. 1) is prioritized, the interference avoidance unit 15 prioritizes the elevator 50 and corrects the conveyance instruction plan for the elevator 70 (step S108 in FIG. 3A). When it determines with giving priority to the elevator 70 (No. 2 machine), the interference avoidance part 15 gives priority to the elevator 70, and corrects the conveyance instruction | indication plan of the elevator 50 (step S109 of FIG. 3-1). The operation plan is corrected based on the interference avoidance rules shown in FIG. The interference avoidance rules are set so that if the non-priority elevator operates in the direction crossing the priority elevator, that is, in the opposite direction, the evacuation operation is performed, and if the non-priority elevator and the priority elevator operate in the same direction, the standby operation is performed. It has been.

  The interference avoidance unit 15 corrects the transport instruction plan for the elevator 70 when priority is given to the elevator 50 based on the interference avoidance regulations, and corrects the transport instruction plan for the elevator 50 when priority is given to the elevator 70. . For example, the interference avoiding unit 15 corrects (the portion indicated by the dotted line in FIG. 7) so that the trajectory of the elevator 70 in the up-and-down trajectory prediction diagram shown in FIG. 6 becomes the up-and-down trajectory prediction diagram as shown in FIG. 7. The instruction plan is determined as a conveyance instruction plan for each unit and is output to the phase tuning unit 16 (step S110 in FIG. 3A).

  The phase tuning unit 16 executes a phase tuning process for generating a transport instruction plan that performs the phase tuning correction of the elevators 50 and 70 based on the transport instruction plan and takes the consistency of the elevators 50 and 70 (FIG. 3A). Step S111).

  The operation of the phase tuning process will be described in detail with reference to the flowchart of FIG. The phase tuning unit 16 determines whether or not the current position of the partner machine and the transport instruction of the next transport instruction plan of the own machine interfere (step S300 in FIG. 10). Specifically, for example, whether or not interference occurs when the elevator 70 does not move when the elevator 50 executes the transportation instruction of the transportation instruction plan from the transportation instruction plan of the elevator 50 and the current position of the elevator 70. judge.

  When it is determined that no interference occurs, the phase tuning unit 16 outputs the conveyance instruction plan to the conveyance instruction transmission unit 17 (step S302 in FIG. 10). When it is determined that interference occurs, the phase tuning unit 16 determines whether or not the partner machine has started a transport instruction operation of the next transport instruction plan (step S301 in FIG. 10). The interference avoidance unit 15 incorporates a conveyance instruction plan that does not necessarily interfere with the conveyance instruction plan of the counterpart machine. Therefore, the phase tuning unit 16 transmits the conveyance instruction of the conveyance instruction plan of the own machine to the conveyance instruction transmission unit 17 after the counterpart machine starts the operation of the conveyance instruction of the next conveyance instruction plan (step S302 in FIG. 10). .

  In this way, the phase tuning unit 16 performs a phase tuning correction on the elevator 50 and 70 conveyance instruction plan indicated by the dotted line in FIG. 11 to transmit the conveyance instruction of the conveyance instruction plan in which the consistency of the elevators 50 and 70 is achieved. To the unit 17.

  Returning to FIG. 3A, the conveyance instruction transmitting unit 17 outputs the conveyance instruction of the conveyance instruction plan input from the phase tuning unit 16 to the corresponding elevators 50 and 70 (step S <b> 112 in FIG. 3A).

  The elevators 50 and 70 start the operation based on the conveyance instruction of the conveyance instruction plan input from the conveyance instruction transmission unit 17. When the elevators 50 and 70 execute the transport instruction of the transport instruction plan, the elevators 50 and 70 transmit the transport result to the transport result receiving unit 23. The conveyance instruction is an instruction “from what floor to how many times to move”. For example, when the elevator 50 transport instruction is “move from the fifth floor to the sixth floor”, the elevator 50 first transports that it has started moving from the fifth floor (execution of the transport instruction has started). When it arrives at the 6th floor, the elevator 50 transmits to the conveyance result receiving unit 23 as a result of conveyance.

  When the conveyance results are received from the elevators 50 and 70 (step S103, Yes in FIG. 3A), the conveyance result reception unit 23 outputs the received conveyance results to the conveyance instruction buffer 11 and the conveyance instruction plan correction unit B18. The conveyance instruction buffer 11 outputs the conveyance result to the conveyance instruction plan correction unit A12. The conveyance instruction plan correction unit A12 deletes the FROM or TO of the conveyance instruction executed based on the conveyance result from the conveyance instruction plan, and performs the conveyance instruction plan correction process shown in the flowcharts of FIGS. A is executed.

  The conveyance instruction plan correction unit B18 executes the conveyance instruction plan correction process B for each of the elevators 50 and 70 based on the conveyance instruction plan from which the conveyance result has been deleted by the conveyance instruction plan correction unit A12 (step S113 in FIG. 3A). ).

  The detailed operation of the conveyance instruction plan correction process B will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. When there is a next conveyance instruction in the conveyance instruction plan, the conveyance instruction plan correction unit B18 determines whether or not the movement direction of the next conveyance instruction is the same as the current movement direction (steps S400 and S401 in FIG. 12). When it is determined that the movement directions are different, the conveyance instruction plan correction unit B18 determines the conveyance instruction plan as a real-time conveyance execution plan (step S403 in FIG. 12).

  When it is determined that the moving directions are the same, the conveyance instruction plan correction unit B18 determines whether or not the floor indicated by the FROM of the next conveyance instruction in the conveyance instruction plan has passed based on the current position of the elevator (FIG. 12 step S402). If the number of floors indicated by the FROM of the next conveyance instruction in the conveyance instruction plan has not been passed, the conveyance instruction plan correction unit B18 determines the conveyance instruction plan as a real-time conveyance execution plan (step S403 in FIG. 12).

  When the movement direction of the next conveyance instruction in the conveyance instruction plan is the same as the current movement direction and the floor indicated by the FROM of the next conveyance instruction in the conveyance instruction plan has already passed, the conveyance instruction plan correction unit B18 It is determined whether or not the elevator system is a multi-shaft system (step S404 in FIG. 12).

  When the elevator system is a multi-shaft system, the conveyance instruction plan correction unit B18 notifies the county management device 30 that the floor indicated by the FROM of the next conveyance instruction of the conveyance instruction plan has already been passed and ends the process. (Step S405 in FIG. 12).

  If the elevator system is not a multi-shaft system, the conveyance instruction plan correction unit B18 temporarily stores the floor number indicated by the FROM of the conveyance instruction next to the conveyance instruction plan (step S406). The conveyance instruction plan correction unit B18 resets the number of times indicated by the FROM temporarily stored at the rising end of the execution conveyance instruction plan, and ends the process (step S407 in FIG. 12).

  As described above, the conveyance instruction plan correction unit B18 determines that the movement direction of the next conveyance instruction in the conveyance instruction plan is different from the current movement direction, or the movement direction of the next conveyance instruction in the conveyance instruction plan is the same as the current movement direction. If the number of floors indicated by the next transfer instruction FROM does not pass, the transfer instruction plan is fixed to the real-time transfer execution plan.

  When the real-time conveyance execution plan is confirmed, the conveyance instruction plan correction unit B18 outputs the confirmed real-time conveyance execution plan to the elevator operation prediction unit 19. If the real-time transfer execution plan is not determined, the transfer instruction plan correction unit B18 notifies the county management device 30 and ends the process.

  Returning to FIG. 3-2, the elevator operation predicting unit 19 is determined by the conveyance instruction plan correcting unit B18 in the same manner as the operation of the elevator operation predicting unit 13 described in steps S104 and S105 of FIG. Based on the real-time transfer execution plan, a car-by-car transport simulation is executed to create a lift trajectory prediction map, and the inter-car distance d is predicted from the created lift trajectory prediction map and output to the interference detection unit 20 (FIG. 3). 2 steps S114, S115).

  Similar to the interference detection unit 14 described in step S106 of FIG. 3-1, the interference detection unit 20 compares the inter-unit distance d input from the elevator operation prediction unit 19 with the collision risk distance Lc, It is determined whether or not interference occurs between the elevator 50 and the elevator 70 over the entire section of the lift locus prediction diagram (step S116 in FIG. 3-2). When the interference detection unit 20 detects that interference has occurred, the interference detection unit 20 notifies the interference avoidance unit 21 that interference has been detected.

  When the notification is received from the interference detection unit 20, the interference avoidance unit 21 performs the same as the operation of the interference avoidance unit 15 described in steps S107 to S109 of FIG. The priority elevator and the non-priority elevator are determined based on the operation status, and the real-time conveyance execution plan of the non-priority elevator is corrected (steps S117 to S119 in FIG. 3-2). The interference detection unit 20 outputs the execution time conveyance execution plan of the elevators 50 and 70 to the phase tuning unit 22 (step S120 in FIG. 3-2).

  The phase tuning unit 22 performs the phase tuning correction of the elevators 50 and 70 based on the real-time conveyance execution plan in the same manner as the operation of the phase tuning unit 16 described in step S111 of FIG. A phase tuning process for generating a real-time transfer execution plan with 70 consistency is executed (step S121 in FIG. 3-2). The phase tuning unit 22 outputs the conveyance instruction of the real-time conveyance execution plan after executing the phase tuning process to the conveyance instruction transmission unit 17.

  The conveyance instruction transmission unit 17 outputs the conveyance instruction of the real-time conveyance execution plan input from the phase tuning unit 22 to the corresponding elevators 50 and 70 (step S122 in FIG. 3-2).

  As described above, in this embodiment, the elevator operation prediction units 12 and 19 are based on the conveyance instruction plan, the current position of the elevator, the elevator operation status, the elevator operation pattern, and the speed pattern and the getting-on / off time prediction obtained from each door opening time. Thus, when the elevating position of the elevators 50 and 70 is predicted, and the interference detecting units 14 and 20 detect that the elevating interval between the elevator 50 and the elevator 70 is within a predetermined collision danger distance, interference avoidance is performed. Since the transport instruction plan is modified so that the units 15 and 21 avoid interference based on the predetermined priority condition and the interference avoidance rule, the elevators 50 and 70 operate according to the transport instruction plan that avoids interference. Can be made.

  Further, in this embodiment, the conveyance instruction plan correction unit B18 corrects the conveyance instruction plan using the conveyance result for the conveyance instruction input from the elevators 50 and 70, and the elevator operation prediction unit 19 uses the conveyance result. Based on the corrected conveyance instruction plan, the elevator positions of the elevators 50 and 70 are predicted, and based on the predicted elevator position, whether or not interference occurs in the elevators 50 and 70 is detected to avoid the interference. Therefore, when generating the conveyance instruction plan in which the interference is avoided, the actual operation of the elevators 50 and 70 can be reflected in real time, and correction according to the actual operation can be performed.

  Further, in this embodiment, the elevator operation predicting units 13 and 19 have the speed patterns of the elevators 50 and 70 based on the operation results of the elevators 50 and 70 (elevator current position, elevator operation status, elevator operation pattern, and opening times of each floor). Further, since the ascending / descending time of the elevators 50 and 70 is predicted by obtaining the getting-on / off time, the actual operation of the elevators 50 and 70 can be reflected when generating a conveyance instruction plan that avoids interference.

  Further, in this embodiment, the interference avoidance units 15 and 21 determine an elevator to be prioritized and an elevator to be non-prioritized based on a predetermined priority condition, and should be prioritized by a predetermined interference avoidance regulation. Since the elevator operation is continued and the elevator that should not be prioritized is retracted or stopped, it is possible to avoid interference according to the operation state.

  Further, in this embodiment, since the phase tuning units 16 and 22 perform the phase tuning process, it is possible to absorb uncertain fluctuations in the door opening / closing time and avoid the interference of the operations of the elevators 50 and 70. The elevators 50 and 70 can be operated according to the transport instruction plan.

  Further, in this embodiment, the interference avoidance units 15 and 21 determine the priority elevator that should be prioritized and the non-priority elevator that should be non-prioritized based on the elevator operation status and the priority condition. , 70 can respond flexibly to sudden call registration.

  In addition, when a new destination is registered in the car during operation of the elevators 50 and 70, the single shaft / single car can be operated without any problem only by the judgment of the group management device. In the case of a multi-car, there are cases where it is impossible to avoid interference as shown in FIG. Conventionally, as a countermeasure, registration that cannot avoid interference is not accepted.

  However, in this embodiment, when a transport instruction plan is input from the county management device 30, the transport instruction plan correction unit A12 adds the input transport instruction plan to the currently executed transport instruction plan and performs a transport instruction in the order of operation. Since the plan is generated, and the interference is detected by predicting the lifting operation using the generated transfer instruction plan, even when a new destination registration is performed from the elevators 50 and 70, a new destination is registered in real time. Destination registration can be reflected. If this function is fed back to the county management device, an inexpensive and reasonable single-shaft configuration self-propelled elevator system can be realized without significantly increasing the conventional county management device.

  In addition, a registration operation display means (first registration operation display means in the scope of claims) is provided at the landing, and the conveyance instruction plan determined by the interference avoidance units 15 and 21 is also output to the registration operation display means. Thus, the up-and-down trajectory prediction diagram (see FIG. 7) based on the conveyance instruction plan determined by the interference avoidance units 15 and 21 and the operation schedule such as the boarding guide may be displayed or output by voice. In the boarding guide, for example, as shown in FIG. 13, a registration display 43 indicating that the transfer instruction plan from the county management device 30 has been accepted in response to the call registration 41 indicating the floor number of the landing is taken, and what number machine An application number display 42 indicating whether or not the landing indicated by the call registration 41 can be reached, and an arrival number 44 indicating the elevators 50 and 70 arriving at the landing are displayed. As a result, the operation schedule is disclosed to the passengers, and it is possible to inform which passenger can go to the destination floor by taking which unit, and the convenience of the user can be improved.

  In addition, a registration operation display means (second registration operation display means in the claims) is provided in the car, and the transmission instruction plan determined by the interference avoidance units 15 and 21 is also stored in the registration operation display means. The operation guide may be displayed as the operation schedule on the registration operation display means. In the operation guide, for example, as shown in FIG. 14, a transport instruction plan from the county management device 30 corresponding to a car display 48 indicating the number of the car and a call registration 45 indicating the floor number of the landing. A registration display 47 indicating that the instruction plan has been received and an ascending / descending order display 46 indicating the ascending / descending order are displayed. Thereby, the passengers in the car can be notified of the order of movement to the destination floor, and the convenience of the user can be improved.

  Further, the non-interference control device 10 is provided with an operation switching means for receiving an independent operation instruction input from the county management device 30. When the operation switching means receives the independent operation instruction, the elevator operation predicting units 13 and 19, interference detection The operations of the units 14 and 20, the interference avoidance units 15 and 21, and the phase tuning units 16 and 22 may be stopped so that only the transport instruction of the elevator transport instruction plan designated by the single operation instruction is output. . By this, the independent operation which separated the non-interference control by outputting the independent operation instruction | indication including the information which designates the elevator which the county management apparatus 30 operates at the time zone other than the time of a rush hour, an elevator check, etc. to operation switching means It can be performed.

  Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 15, a retreat position 60 a for retreating the elevator 50 and a retreat position 60 b for retreating the elevator 70 may be provided in the vertical direction of the elevator shaft 90. As a result, the elevators 50 and 70 can move from the lowest floor (in this case, the first floor) to the highest floor (in this case, the 16th floor), and the user does not have to transfer the elevators 50 and 70. You can move to the next floor.

  In addition, it is desirable to relieve the user's feeling of blockage by opening the car doors of the elevators 50 and 70 during standby. Further, when retreating, it is desirable to call the elevators 50 and 70 to get off once. In addition, when closed at the retreat positions 60a and 60b, matters that should be taken into consideration including the existing control system, such as temporarily stopping at the nearest floor, opening the doors, prompting passengers to get off, and retreating. It is.
