Description

  The present invention relates to an elevator operation control device that controls the operation of each elevator in an elevator system in which a plurality of elevators are incorporated in a building.

  With the recent development of building technology, higher buildings are increasing. In this high-rise building, it is necessary to use the narrow floor area of each floor more effectively, so the elevator designer has been asked by the owner of this high-rise building to make the exclusive area of the elevator on each floor as small as possible. Yes. Therefore, it is necessary to realize efficient transportation with a small number of elevators.

  Various methods have been proposed to achieve this. For example, a plurality of high-speed elevators having a high speed and a large capacity and few stop floors (floors) are installed. In addition, a plurality of low-speed elevators that have a low speed and a small capacity, and that are appropriately combined with a plurality of low-speed elevators that stop on each floor within a specific range in all the floors of the building, can be combined with a plurality of hoistways that vertically penetrate each floor of the building. Install a low-speed elevator. In order to move to the destination floor, the user goes to the stop floor (transfer floor) near the destination floor with a high-speed elevator, changes to the low-speed elevator on this transfer floor, and moves to the destination floor.

  As described above, as an elevator operation method in this case, since it is necessary to change elevators in order to go to an arbitrary destination floor, as described in Patent Document 1, a low-speed elevator that performs transfer is used. It has been proposed to assign a call to the transfer floor in advance and announce the low-speed elevator of the transfer.

  In Patent Document 2, when managing the operation of a plurality of elevators, the user who uses the elevator has the attribute including the destination floor, reads this attribute, and reads the destination floor included in the attribute. A technique for automatically assigning a call to an optimal elevator is disclosed.

In recent years, security (safety) requirements for crime prevention for users when using elevators have been increasing. As security measures for this elevator, there are methods such as not allowing unauthorized unidentified persons (suspicious persons) to get on the elevator, or allowing only authorized persons to get off the elevator to a specific floor.
Japanese Patent No. 2889004 Japanese Patent No. 3454601

  However, there is a conflict between efficiently transporting a large number of users to a destination floor with a small number of elevators and improving the security of the elevator users.

  In other words, when security is to be implemented in an elevator that wants to carry out mass transportation at high speed, as mentioned above, it is intended not to enter the building for the general unspecified number of general users and not to be put on the elevator. For this reason, it becomes necessary to perform boarding restrictions for getting on or getting off only for a specific person registered in advance to get off to a specific floor. However, this method means that the elevator cannot be used when an unspecified number of users want to use it. As a result, the transportation efficiency is lowered.

  In addition, if you want to increase security, it is necessary to avoid the problem of suspicious persons who are in charge of VIPs in the same elevator from riding together. become. This also becomes a factor of reducing the transportation efficiency. As described above, in the operation control of the elevator, the security improvement and the transportation efficiency improvement are contradictory.

  The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and according to the level of security required by the user, the type of elevator assigned to the user and the operation control for the elevator are selected and executed. Thus, an object of the present invention is to provide an elevator operation control device that can improve transportation efficiency while sufficiently securing necessary security.

In order to solve the above-described problems, the present invention provides an operation control apparatus for an elevator that operates and controls a plurality of elevators provided in a building.
Grouping means for grouping a plurality of elevators into a plurality of elevator groups with different combinations of stop floors in the building, and a user table for storing the identification information of the elevator users, the security level, and the permitted destination floor, Corresponding to the security level and destination floor of the user of the read identification information according to the identification information reading means for reading the identification information of the user who intends to use the elevator, and the identification information reading means in the identification information reading means According to the security level for the elevator selection means for selecting one or more elevators used by the user from one or more elevator groups to the destination floor, and the elevator selected by the elevator selection means, Select one operation control from dedicated operation control, carpool operation control, general operation control And a Hodokosuru operation control means.

  In the elevator operation control apparatus configured as described above, the plurality of elevators provided in the building are grouped into a plurality of elevator groups having different combinations of stop floors. The user has a security level assigned to the user. When a user goes to his / her destination floor, an elevator group elevator corresponding to the user's own security level and destination floor is designated, and further, operation control corresponding to the elevator's own security level is performed.

  For example, in the case of a high security level, dedicated operation control is performed. In this case, security is given priority. In the case of a low security level, general operation control is performed. In this case, priority is given to transportation efficiency. Therefore, the transportation efficiency can be improved while ensuring the necessary security.

In another aspect of the invention, an elevator operation control apparatus for operating and controlling a plurality of elevators provided in a building,
Stop multiple elevators on all floors of the building, high-speed elevators that stop only on the standard floor of the building and several predetermined transfer floors, low-speed elevators that stop on some consecutive floors of the building Grouping means for grouping into each floor stop elevator group, elevator user identification information, a user table storing security levels and permitted destination floors, and identification information of users who want to use the elevator When the security level of the user specified by the read identification information is high in response to the reading of the identification information by the identification information reading means, one elevator of each floor stop elevator group Dedicated operation control means that operates as a dedicated machine for the user and the user security specified by the read identification information. When the level is medium and the route to the destination floor includes a transfer floor, one elevator of the high-speed elevator group is operated and controlled as a general machine from the transfer floor to the destination floor. Partially dedicated operation control means for controlling the operation of one elevator as the user's dedicated machine, and when the security level of the user specified by the read identification information is low and the route to the destination floor includes a transfer floor Part of the high-speed elevator group that controls the operation as a general machine from the transfer floor to the transfer floor, and the operation control of one elevator of the low-speed elevator group from the transfer floor to the destination floor as a passenger car with the same low-level user And a carpool operation control means.

  In the elevator operation control apparatus configured as described above, the elevators are grouped into a high-speed elevator, a low-speed elevator, and each floor stop elevator. Then, for each user having a high security level, each floor stop elevator is controlled up to the destination floor as a dedicated machine without transfer. A user with medium security level goes to the transfer floor with a high-speed elevator in a normal driving state. Then, change to a low-speed elevator that is controlled and operated on its own at this transfer floor and go to the destination floor. Furthermore, users with a low security level go to the transfer floor with a high-speed elevator in a general driving state. Then, on this transfer floor, transfer to a low-speed elevator with a user of the same low security level and go to the destination floor.

  Therefore, as in the previous invention, the transportation efficiency can be improved while sufficiently securing the necessary security.

  In another invention, in the partial dedicated operation control means and the partial phase ride operation control means in the elevator operation control apparatus of the invention described above, the elevator selected for operation from the transfer floor to the destination floor is changed at the transfer floor. Standby control means for waiting in the door-closed state is provided.

  In this way, by allowing the low-speed elevator heading to the destination floor to stand by in the door-closed state at the transfer floor, the security-set user can get into the next low-speed elevator without waiting at the transfer floor. . In this case, since the low-speed elevator is waiting in the door-closed state, it is possible to prevent a general user who is not set with security from getting in the elevator by mistake, and the safety of the user who is set with security is reduced. Further improvement.

  Further, in another invention, the partial dedicated operation control means in the elevator operation control device of the invention described above is based on reading of the same identification information in the identification information reading means installed on the transfer floor. Open the elevator waiting in the closed state.

  In other words, unless the user is allowed to take his / her own identification information with the identification information reading means installed on the transfer floor, the waiting elevator will not open, so that the general user accidentally gets into the elevator. Is more reliably prevented.

  In another aspect of the invention, the user is provided with the guidance for riding the elevator selected for operation by the dedicated operation control means, the partial dedicated operation control means, and the partial ride driving control means in the elevator operation control apparatus of the invention described above. Informing means for informing is provided. Therefore, it is possible to further improve the service for the user for whom security is set.

  In another invention, the identification information reading means in the elevator operation control device of the invention described above is arranged on the reference floor and each transfer floor, and reads the identification information stored in the card possessed by the user. It is a leader. Furthermore, the notification means displays the boarding guidance for the selected elevator on a display provided in the card reader.

  Therefore, when the user holds his / her card over the card reader, the elevator on which the user gets can be confirmed on the spot.

  Further, in another invention, the partial-sharing operation control means of the elevator operation control device according to the above-described invention is configured such that when the number of users who ride in the elevator selected for operation from the transfer floor to the destination floor exceeds a predetermined number. A plurality of elevators are selected for driving from the transfer floor to the destination floor. Therefore, the entire elevator can be operated more efficiently.

  In another invention, the partial dedicated operation control means and the partial ride driving control means in the elevator operation control device according to the invention described above, the identification information reading means when the number of users in the destination floor direction exceeds a predetermined number There is provided a transfer floor changing means for changing the transfer floor that changes from the high-speed elevator to the low-speed elevator before reaching the target floor of the identification information read in step 1 to a transfer floor installed on the floor that has passed the target floor. Therefore, the entire elevator can be operated more efficiently.

  In the present invention, elevators are grouped into a plurality of elevator groups, and user security is divided into a plurality of levels. In addition, by setting multiple types of operation control for each selected elevator and mixing the elevator group and operation control according to the security level, the necessary transportation security is ensured and the elevator is transported. Efficiency can be improved.

  Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a schematic view showing an elevator operation control apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a view showing a building in which the elevator is incorporated.

  In FIG. 2, for example, the building 1 shows an example from the B4 floor to the 20th floor, but the number of floors is not particularly limited. A number of elevators are installed in the building 1, and the elevators can be roughly classified into three groups. Each group may be a single elevator or each group may be multiple.

  Each elevator belonging to the high-speed elevator group 2a (referred to as a high-speed elevator 2) is a reference floor 3 such as the first floor where the entrance of this building is provided, and each elevator (referred to as a low-speed elevator 4) in a low-speed elevator group 4a described later. ) Is an elevator that stops only on the floor (transfer floor 5) for transferring to) and enables large-scale and high-speed movement.

  Each low-speed elevator 4 of the low-speed elevator group 4 a is configured by an elevator that stops on a part of the floor where the building 1 is continuous. That is, in this example, it is separated into an elevator for a low hierarchy, an elevator for a middle hierarchy, and an elevator for a high hierarchy, and by storing the elevator for a low hierarchy and the elevator for a high hierarchy in one hoistway, The floor area can be used effectively. And the user of this building 1 goes to the transfer floor 5 by the high-speed elevator 2, and transfers to the low-speed elevator 4 at this transfer floor 5 to the destination floor.

  Each floor stop elevator 6 of each floor stop elevator group 6 a stops on all floors of the building 1. In other words, it is an elevator that stops at each emergency floor, which is obligatory for elevators that are higher than a certain floor in the Building Standard Law. In addition, there is a case of an elevator for luggage that stops on each floor even if it is not an emergency.

  In addition, based on the structure of the building 1 or the intention of the company or group that is occupying the building 1, the ID card 8 shown in FIG. There is a floor that can only be used by a specific user 9 possessed. In this example, the 7th floor to the 12th floor and the 13th floor to the 20th floor correspond. These floors are called non-stop floors. In order to go to these floors, the user 9 uses the ID card 8 shown in FIG. 3 (b) possessed by the user 9 as identification information reading means installed on the reference floor 3 and each transfer floor 5. The ID is read as identification information reading over the card reader 10 shown in a).

  On the surface of the card reader 10, a reading unit 10 a that reads an ID stored in the ID card 8 and a display 10 b that notifies various users of the ID card 8 of various guidance are provided.

  In FIG. 1, the security control unit 11 receives data of the ID card 8 read by each card reader 10, generates elevator call information, and calls the group management unit 12 of each elevator group 2 a, 4 a. Pass information. The group management unit 12 determines which elevators 2 and 4 the call is assigned to, notifies the elevator control unit 13 that controls the elevator (unit), and notifies the security control device 11 of the assigned elevator. . The elevator control unit 13 controls movement of the cars 14 of the elevators 2 and 4 according to the call state.

  In this example, each floor stop elevator group 6a is composed of one elevator 6, so the security control unit 11 directly assigns calls to the elevator control unit 13.

  In addition, on each floor, a hall call registration device 15 operated mainly by a general user 7 who does not have an ID card 8 and is not subject to security is installed, and the general call assignment unit 16 is provided with each hall call registration device 15. Each hall call generated in step 1 is sent to each group management unit 12.

  For example, a user table 17 is provided in the security control unit 11 constituted by a computer or the like. In this user table 17, as shown in FIG. 4, for the ID (identification information) of the security target user 9 possessing the ID card 8, information on whether or not the card can be used and the security level are displayed. The A (high level) rank, the B (medium level) rank, the C (low level) level, and the destination floor that the user 9 is permitted to go are set.

  The rank destination floor detection unit 18 detects the security rank and destination floor of the user 9 read by each card reader 10. And when the detected rank is A rank, the rank A selection control part 19 is started. If the detected rank is rank B, the rank B selection control unit 20 is activated. Further, when the detected rank is C rank, the rank C selection control unit 21 is activated.

  The operation control mode memory 22 stores operation control modes for one or two elevators 2, 4, 6 assigned to the destination floor by the rank control units 19, 20, 21. Yes.

  In the exclusive operation control mode 23, only one user 9 heading to the destination floor assigned to the car 14 of the elevators 2, 4, 6 can be put on. Specifically, calls with other IDs and calls from the hall call registration device 15 operated by the general user 7 are not accepted.

  The carpool operation control mode 23 can carry a plurality of users 9 having the same security rank (specifically, only the C rank) heading to the destination floor assigned to the car 14 of the elevators 2, 4, 6. is there.

  Further, in the general operation control mode 24, the elevators 2, 4, 6 have a call from the card reader 10 of the user 9 who has the ID card 8 and a hall call registration device 15 operated by the general user 7. Accept the call from the car and head the car 14 to the destination floor. That is, when the general operation control mode 24 is set, an unspecified number of users 7 are also put on the elevator.

  The rank A selection control unit 19 is provided with the installation floor (the floor where the user 9 is currently located) of the card reader 10 that has read the ID card 8 and the ID of the user 9 from the rank target floor detection unit 18. When the rank A and the destination floor are input, each floor stop elevator 6 of each floor stop elevator group 6 is operated as a dedicated machine for the user 9.

  Specifically, a call to the floor where the user 9 is located is assigned to each floor stop elevator 6 to the elevator control unit 13 of each floor stop elevator 6. When each floor stop elevator 6 arrives at the corresponding floor and the user 9 gets into this floor stop elevator 6, the destination floor is automatically assigned to each boarded stop elevator 6. Then, the operation control mode of each floor stop elevator 6 is set to the dedicated operation control mode 23. When each floor stop elevator 6 arrives at the destination floor and the user 9 gets off, the exclusive operation control mode 23 is canceled.

  The rank B selection control unit 20 is provided with the installation floor (the floor where the user 9 is currently located) of the card reader 10 that has read the ID card 8 and the ID of the user 9 from the rank target floor detection unit 18. When the rank B and the destination floor are input, if the transfer floor 5 exists on the route from the current position (floor) of the user 9 to the destination floor, the high-speed elevator 2 and the low-speed elevator 4 are used.

  In this case, the transfer floor 5 of the user 9 is assigned to one high-speed elevator 2 via the group management unit 12 of the high-speed elevator group 2a. At the same time, a call from the transfer floor 5 to the destination floor of the user 9 is assigned to one low-speed elevator 4 to which no call is currently assigned via the group management unit 12 of the low-speed elevator group 4a. Further, the operation control mode of the low speed elevator 4 is set to the dedicated operation control mode 23.

  As a result, the high-speed elevator 2 to which the call is assigned moves to the floor where the user 9 is located, and when the user 9 gets into the high-speed elevator 2, the high-speed elevator 2 moves to the transfer floor 5. . Since the operation control of the high-speed elevator 2 is always in the “general operation control mode 25”, the user 9 gets in at the same time as a general user.

  The low-speed elevator 4 immediately moves to the transfer floor 5 designated by the call and stands by in a door-closed state.

  When the user 9 who got off the high-speed elevator 2 at the transfer floor 5 holds his / her IC card 8 over the card reader 10 at the transfer floor 5 again, the low-speed elevator 4 waiting on the transfer floor 5 opens. . When the user 9 gets into the low-speed elevator 4, the low-speed elevator 4 that has got in moves to the destination floor. When the low-speed elevator 4 set in the exclusive operation control mode 23 arrives at the destination floor and the user 9 gets off, the exclusive operation control mode 23 is canceled.

  In addition, the rank B selection control unit 20 has one low speed via the group management unit 12 of the low speed elevator group 4a if there is no transfer floor 5 on the route from the current position (floor) of the user 9 to the destination floor. The elevator 4 is assigned a destination floor call for the user 9. Further, the operation control mode of the low speed elevator 4 is set to the dedicated operation control mode 23. And when the user 9 gets in this low speed elevator 4, this low speed elevator 4 moves to the destination floor. When the low-speed elevator 4 set in the exclusive operation control mode 23 arrives at the destination floor and the user 9 gets off, the exclusive operation control mode 23 is canceled.

  The rank C selection control unit 21 sets the installation floor (the floor where the user 9 is located) of the card reader 10 that has read the ID card 8 from the rank target floor detection unit 18 and the C of which the ID of the user 9 is added. When the rank and the destination floor are input, if the transfer floor 5 exists on the route from the current position (floor) of the user 9 to the destination floor, the high-speed elevator 2 and the low-speed elevator 4 are used.

  In this case, the transfer floor of the user 9 is assigned to one high-speed elevator 2 via the group management unit 12 of the high-speed elevator group 2a. At the same time, a call from the transfer floor 5 to the destination floor of the user 9 is assigned to one low-speed elevator 4 to which no call is currently assigned via the group management unit 12 of the low-speed elevator group 4a. Further, the operation control mode of the low speed elevator 4 is set to the carpool operation control mode 24.

  As a result, the high-speed elevator 2 to which the call is assigned moves to the floor where the user 9 is located, takes the user 9 and moves to the transfer floor 5. The low-speed elevator 4 immediately moves to the transfer floor 5 designated by the call, waits in a door-closed state, and opens when the high-speed elevator 2 arrives at the transfer floor 5.

  A user 9 who gets off the high-speed elevator 2 at the transfer floor 5 gets into the low-speed elevator 4 waiting at the transfer floor 5 at the same time as another user 9 designated with the same C rank security (shared car). The low-speed elevator 4 in the shared state moves to each destination floor. When the low-speed elevator 4 set in the carpool operation control mode 24 arrives at the destination floor and the user 9 gets off, the carpool operation control mode 24 is canceled.

  In addition, if there is no transfer floor 5 on the route from the current position (floor) of the user 9 to the destination floor, the rank C selection control unit 21 uses one low speed via the group management unit 12 of the low speed elevator group 4a. The elevator 4 is assigned a destination floor call for the user 9. Further, the operation control mode of the low speed elevator 4 is set to the carpool operation control mode 24. When the user 9 gets into the low-speed elevator 4 together with another user 9 for whom security of the same C rank is designated, the low-speed elevator 4 that has got in moves to each destination floor in turn. Then, when the low-speed elevator 4 set in the shared driving control mode 24 arrives at the final destination floor and the user 9 gets off, the shared driving control mode 24 is canceled.

  That is, the largest difference between the security of rank B and the security of rank C is that, in rank B, the low-speed elevator 4 that goes to the destination floor of the rank is operated exclusively for the other than the ride on the C. In the rank, the low-speed elevator 4 that goes to its destination floor is jointly operated with other users 9 to whom the security of the same C rank is specified besides the self.

  5, 6, and 7 are flowcharts showing the overall operation of the security control unit 11. When card information such as an ID is input from each card reader 10, the ID, rank, and target floor of the user 9 are read from the user table 17 (step S1). In the case of card information from the card reader (C / R) 10 on the reference floor 3 (S2) and when the card information is A rank (S3), the card information is specified to each floor stop elevator 6 in step S4. The call of the destination floor of the user 9 to be assigned is assigned and each floor stop elevator 6 is set to the dedicated operation control mode 23 (S4). And as shown to Fig.3 (a), the guidance display of heading to each floor stop elevator 6 (No. 13 machine) is performed on the display part 10b of the card reader 10 (S5).

  If the card information is not rank A (S3) and rank B (S6), the presence / absence of transfer floor 5 up to the target floor is determined (S7), and if present, the transfer floor 5 is specified (S8) ), The transfer floor 5 is assigned to the high-speed elevator 2 up to the transfer floor 5 (S9). At the same time, calls from the transfer floor 5 to the target floor are assigned to the low-speed elevator 4 (S10). Then, the low-speed elevator 4 is set to the dedicated operation control mode 23 (S11). Then, on the display unit 10b of the card reader 10, guidance information for the assigned high-speed elevator 2 and the transfer floor 5 is displayed (S12).

  When the transfer floor 5 does not exist by the target floor (S7), the call of the destination floor of the user 9 is assigned to the low-speed elevator 4. Further, the elevator 4 is set to the dedicated operation control mode 23 (S13). Then, guidance display of the assigned low-speed elevator 4 is performed (S14).

  If it is not rank B in S6 but rank C in S15 in FIG. 6, it is determined whether or not there is a transfer floor 5 up to the target floor (S16), and if it exists, the transfer floor 5 is specified (S17) and transferred. The call of the transfer floor 5 is assigned to the high-speed elevator 2 up to the floor 5 (S18). At the same time, calls from the transfer floor 5 to the target floor are assigned to the low-speed elevator 4 (S19). Then, the low-speed elevator 4 is set to the carpool operation control mode 24 (S20). Then, on the display unit 10b of the card reader 10, guidance information for the assigned high-speed elevator 2 and the transfer floor 5 is displayed (S21).

  When the transfer floor 5 does not exist until the target floor (S16), the call of the destination floor of the user 9 is assigned to the low-speed elevator 4. Further, the low-speed elevator 4 is set to the carpool operation control mode 24 (S22). And the guidance display of the assigned low-speed elevator 4 is performed (S23).

  In the case of card information from the card reader 10 on the transfer floor 5 instead of the card reader 10 on the reference floor 3 in S2 of FIG. 5 (S24), if it is B rank in S25 of FIG. The user 9 is assumed to have taken up his / her ID card 8 to get off the high-speed elevator 2 at the transfer floor 5 and transfer to the low-speed elevator 4 waiting in the door-closed state at this transfer floor 5. After confirming the same ID, guidance display to the waiting low-speed elevator 4 is performed on the display unit 10b of the card reader 10 (S30). Then, the waiting low speed elevator 4 is opened (S31).

  In S32, in the case of A rank, it is determined that the user 9 of the security level of A rank has newly tried to get on the elevator at the transfer floor 5, and the use specified by the card information in each floor stop elevator 6 The call of the destination floor of the person 9 is assigned and each floor stop elevator 6 is set to the exclusive operation control mode 23 (S33). Then, as shown in FIG. 3 (a), a guidance display for heading to each floor stop elevator 6 (No. 13) is displayed on the display unit 10b of the card reader 10 (S34).

  FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing the operation of the elevator control unit 13 that controls the high-speed elevator 2. When the call is assigned (Q1), when this call is assigned from the card reader 10 (Q2), the high-speed elevator 2 starts to move to the transfer floor 5 designated by the call (Q3). Then, when the vicinity of the designated transfer floor 5 is reached (Q4), if there is a transfer instruction to the low-speed elevator 4 in the corresponding call (Q5), the transfer machine (low-speed of the transfer destination) is placed in the car 14 of the high-speed elevator 2. Elevator) guidance display is performed (Q6). Then, it informs the transfer station that it has approached the transfer floor 5 (Q7). When arriving at transfer floor 5 (Q8), the door is opened (Q9), and when user 9 gets off, the door is closed (Q10).

  At Q11, a general call 7 from the general call assigning unit 16 receives a landing call from the landing call registration device 15 provided on each floor and a destination button operation in the car 14 following the landing call. If so, it moves to the designated transfer floor 5 (Q12). When it arrives, the door is opened (Q13), and when the user 7 gets off, the door is closed (Q14).

  FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing the operation of the elevator control unit 13 that controls the low-speed elevator 4. When a call is assigned (P1), if this call is assigned by the card reader 10 and designated for exclusive operation (dedicated machine) (P2), the operation control mode of the low-speed elevator 4 is set to the exclusive operation control mode 23. (P3). The movement starts to the standby floor designated by the call (transfer floor 5) (P4). Arriving at the waiting floor (transfer floor 5) (P5), when card information is input from the card reader 10 set at this waiting floor (transfer floor 5) (P6), it is the same as the card information of the previous call. (P7). Then, the door is opened (P8).

  When the user 9 gets in and the user 9 presses the close button in the car 14 (P9), the movement starts to the destination floor registered by the previous call (P10). When the destination floor is reached (P11), the door is opened (P12), and when the user 9 gets off, the door is closed (P13). Then, the exclusive operation control mode 23 is canceled (P14).

  When this call is assigned by the card reader 10 and the carpool operation (carpooler) is designated (P15), the operation control mode of the low-speed elevator 4 is set to the carpool operation control mode 24 (P16). The movement starts to the standby floor designated by the call (transfer floor 5) (P17). Arrives at the standby floor (transfer floor 5) (P18) and waits in the door-closed state. When a notification that the high speed elevator 2 has arrived at the transfer floor 5 is received from the elevator control unit 13 of the high speed elevator 2 (P19), the door is opened (P20). When a plurality of users 7 of the same rank C get in and the user 7 presses the close button in the car 14 (P21), the movement starts to each destination floor of each user 7 registered in the previous call. (P22). Then, when the first destination floor is reached, the door is opened (P23), and when one user 9 gets off, the door is closed (P24). If there is another destination floor that has not yet arrived (P25), the destination floor is moved to (P22). When the movement to all destination floors is completed (P25), the carpool operation control mode 24 for the low-speed elevator 4 is canceled (P26).

  If it is not carpooling designation in P15, general call handling that is not security handling is implemented in P27.

  In the elevator operation control apparatus configured as described above, the elevators of the building 1 are grouped into a high-speed elevator 2, a low-speed elevator 4, and each floor stop elevator 6. When a user 9 having A rank security goes to his / her destination floor, he / she holds the ID card 8 possessed by the card reader 10 provided on the reference floor 3 such as the first floor of the building 1. . Then, each floor stop elevator 6 is automatically set to its own dedicated machine. When the user 9 gets into each floor stop elevator 6, this floor stop elevator 6 goes straight to the destination floor without stopping at the middle floor. Therefore, although it takes some time, the user 9 having A rank security can go to the destination floor in the elevator car 14 without traveling with another person, and thus high security can be secured.

  When the user 9 having B rank security goes to his / her destination floor, the user 9 holds the ID card 8 possessed by the card reader 10 provided on the reference floor 3 such as the first floor of the building 1. Then, when the transfer floor 5 exists by the destination floor, it goes to the transfer floor 5 with the high-speed elevator 2 of the general operation control state which the general user 7 uses. Then, transfer to the low-speed elevator 4 that is controlled to operate on its own at the transfer floor 5 and go to the destination floor. Thus, by using the high-speed elevator 2 in the general operation control state up to the transfer floor, it is possible to ensure efficient transportation of the entire elevator while ensuring the security of the user 9 at a certain level.

  When the user 9 having C rank security goes to his / her destination floor, the user 9 holds the ID card 8 possessed by the card reader 10 provided on the reference floor 3 such as the first floor of the building 1. Then, when the transfer floor 5 exists by the destination floor, it goes to the transfer floor 5 with the high-speed elevator 2 of the general operation control state which the general user 7 uses. Then, at this transfer floor 5, transfer to the low-speed elevator 4 that is controlled to share with the user 9 of the same C rank as the self, and go to the destination floor. In this way, the high-speed elevator 2 in the general operation control state is used until the transfer floor, and the rest is shared with the user 9 of the same C rank as the self, so that the security of the user 9 is secured to a certain level. Thus, efficient transportation of the entire elevator can be achieved.

  Furthermore, when the low-speed elevator 4 is made to wait at the transfer floor 5, since it is made to wait in the door-closed state, the general user 7 who is not set with security is mistakenly in the exclusive operation control mode 23 or the car sharing operation. It is possible to greatly suppress erroneously getting into the low-speed elevator 4 set in the control mode 24, thereby further improving security.

  In addition, this invention is not limited to embodiment mentioned above. When the number of users 9 sharing the low-speed elevator 4 selected for driving from the transfer floor 5 to the destination floor exceeds a predetermined number, by assigning a plurality of low-speed elevators 4 to the operation from the transfer floor to the destination floor, The entire elevator can be operated more efficiently.

  Further, when the number of users in the direction of the destination floor exceeds a predetermined number, the transfer floor 5 for transferring from the high speed elevator 2 to the low speed elevator 4 before reaching the destination floor of the user 9 read by the card reader 10 is changed to the destination floor. Change to transfer floor 5 on the passing floor. In this case, since the number of users of the low-speed elevator 4 returning from the transfer floor 5 to the destination floor is small, even if the dedicated operation control or the shared operation control is set for the low-speed elevator 4 moving in this direction, the entire elevator is operated. The efficiency is not significantly reduced.
