Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an operation control device for an elevator capable of avoiding that the elevator is operated in a direction opposite to the intention of a passenger and simultaneously certainly responding to a desired direction of the passenger without reducing operation efficiency while giving an allowance to the passenger requiring much operation time such as handicapped persons. <P>SOLUTION: A means 13 automatically operated toward an adjacent floor in the same direction as a direction of a hall call when there is an output of an in-car passenger detection means 12 for detecting existence of an in-car passenger and there is no car call registration after arrival by the hall call is provided. It passes through the adjacent floor as such and is operated to a car call floor in the same direction away from the adjacent floor if the timing for registering the car call in the same direction away from the adjacent floor during automatic operation is performed before deceleration. If the timing is performed during deceleration, it is re-accelerated and passed through the adjacent floor as such and is operated to the car call floor in the same direction away from the adjacent floor. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI

Description

  The present invention relates to an elevator operation device, and more particularly, to an elevator operation control device that can be reliably operated in a desired direction of a passenger who has entered the hall after arrival at a hall call.

As this type of device, when a hall call is registered by pressing a hall button on a certain floor, there is means for automatically registering the call of the farthest floor in the same direction as the traveling direction of the car that has traveled accordingly. It is known (see Patent Document 1).
Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 08-59100 (paragraphs 0021 to 0024, FIG. 4)

  In a generally known elevator driving system, if a passenger who arrives in response to a hall call and enters the car does not register the car call before the door closes, the elevator will move in a direction contrary to the intention of the passenger. May respond to hall calls. There exists the said patent document 1 as a technique for preventing this. However, in such a driving method, if the call registration of passengers in the car is performed after exceeding the deceleration point of the desired floor, it will drive to the farthest floor through the desired floor was there.

  Therefore, after arrival at the hall call, if there is a passenger detection means in the car for detecting the presence or absence of passengers in the car, and there is an output of the passenger detection means in the car during door opening and closing, and there is no car call registration, the hall Means to automatically drive to the adjacent floor in the same direction as the direction of the call, and when the car call is registered more than one floor than the adjacent floor during automatic operation to the adjacent floor, if it is before deceleration, it is adjacent as it is Pass through the floor and drive to the car calling floor. If the vehicle is decelerating, re-accelerate and pass through the adjacent floor to drive the car calling floor.

  As a result, passengers who have entered the car have forgotten to register the car call temporarily, or even if the elderly or disabled have completed the door closing before the car call registration due to slow movement, You can drive reliably in the direction.

  Hereinafter, the best embodiment for carrying out the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 1 is a block diagram illustrating a hardware configuration of an operation control apparatus according to an embodiment. The elevator operation control device 1 has general elevator control and call control means 11 and has a central role of controlling the overall operation of the elevator. In the present embodiment, the elevator control device 1 includes, in addition to the travel control and call control means 11, in-car detection means 12, and means 13 for automatically driving toward an adjacent floor in the same direction as the direction of the hall call, Re-acceleration means 14 is added during deceleration to the adjacent floor.

  The operation control device 1 receives an input signal of the hall call registration device 2 provided in the hall and performs an operation according to the hall call. In addition, the operation control device 1 receives an input signal from the car call registration device 3 provided in the car, and performs an operation according to the car call. Furthermore, the operation control device 1 transmits and controls a door opening / closing command corresponding to the state of the elevator to the door opening / closing device 4 provided at the elevator doorway.

  FIG. 2 is a flowchart for explaining the operation of the elevator operation control apparatus according to the embodiment described above. In particular, an operation flow from when the elevator is landing on the floor where a hall call is made to when the elevator returns to the conventional call response determination routine is shown.

First, it is determined whether or not there is a car call when the landing door is opened (S1). When step S1 is YES, it goes to (END) for the operation by the conventional call response. When step S1 is NO, the directionality of the same direction as the hall call arrival is maintained (S2). Subsequently, it is determined whether there is another hall call in the same direction as the hall call arrival (S3). If step S3 is YES, the process returns to (END) for the operation by the conventional call response. When step S3 is NO, the presence or absence of passengers in the car is determined (S5) when the door closing is completed (S4). If step S5 is NO, the process goes to (END) because of the conventional call-free standby. If step S5 is YES, operation starts toward the adjacent floor in the same direction as when the hall call arrives (S6). Until landing on the adjacent floor (S8), it is determined whether there is a car call away from the adjacent floor (S7), and if step S7 is NO,
Land on the adjacent floor (S8) and exit to (END). If step S7 is YES, it is determined whether the vehicle is decelerating toward the adjacent floor (S9). When step S9 is YES, it re-accelerates to the rated speed, passes through the adjacent floor, and drives toward the car call floor away from the adjacent floor. If step S9 is NO, the vehicle passes through the adjacent floor and drives toward the car call floor that is further away from the adjacent floor.

  In this way, even if the passenger who got in the car forgot the car call registration temporarily, or the elderly and disabled people complete the door closing before the car call registration due to slow movement, It is possible to drive reliably in the direction desired by the passenger.

It is a block diagram which shows the hardware constitutions of the operation control apparatus of one Embodiment. It is a flowchart explaining operation | movement of one Embodiment.

Claims (1)

  In an elevator operation control device that has an operation function according to the registration status of the car call by the car call registration device installed in the car and the hall call registration device installed in the hall, after the arrival by the hall call, the car If the passenger detection means in the car detects the presence or absence of an inner passenger, and there is an output from the passenger detection means in the car during door opening and closing, and there is no car call registration, the adjacent floor in the same direction as the direction of the hall call If the timing for registering a car call in the same direction away from the adjacent floor during the automatic operation to the adjacent floor is before deceleration, the vehicle passes through the adjacent floor as it is, Driving to the car call floor in the same direction that is further away, and if it is decelerating, re-accelerate and pass through the adjacent floor as it is, and there is means for driving to the car call floor in the same direction that is farther from the adjacent floor Operation control device for an elevator, characterized in that.
