Description

  The present invention relates to an elevator system incorporated in an office building or the like of a company that is used by a predetermined specific user, rather than being used by an unspecified number of people, and particularly improves driving efficiency for the user. The present invention relates to an operation control apparatus for an elevator system.

  In general, an elevator system provided in each building is composed of a plurality of elevators. In the normal automatic operation mode, when the user presses the landing button at the landing on each floor, the elevator unit that can respond in the shortest time among the elevators is selected (assigned), and the corresponding unit is selected. The elevator car arrives at the floor where the corresponding hall button is provided and opens. When the user waiting in the elevator hall gets in, the door is closed. When a passenger who has entered the car presses a destination floor button provided in the car, the car starts moving to the floor specified by the destination floor button.

  Specifically, the car responds to the hall call on each floor, and the door opening time from reaching the floor to opening the door is required for the user waiting in the elevator hall to get in It is set slightly longer than the average time. And when this door opening time has passed, the door has started to close, especially when a user already in the car notices that there is another user getting in and keeps pressing the [door open] button in the car. Thus, it is possible to forcibly continue the door open state.

  Also, if the user has stopped getting in even though the door closing time has not been reached, if the user who has already entered the car presses the [door close] button in the car, the door is forced to open. Close the car and start moving to the floor specified by the car destination floor button.

  However, in an elevator system that employs such door opening / closing control, the [door open] button provided adjacent to the destination floor button in the car is placed within the range of view of the passenger at the operable position. If there is no user to enter, the [door open] button is not operated. Also, even if it is noticed, it is not operated when both hands are closed.

  Further, there is a concern that the door may be forcibly closed by pressing the [door close] button because the user has been suspended because the door close time has not been reached.

Therefore, in Patent Document 1, when a waiting customer sensor detects that there are passengers waiting for a car in the elevator hall on each floor, and when this waiting sensor detects a passenger waiting for a car, The [door close] button operation is disabled for a predetermined time.
Japanese Patent No. 2510578

  However, the elevator system employing the above-described elevator door opening / closing control still has the following problems to be improved.

  That is, in an elevator system that is not used by an unspecified number of people but is used only by a predetermined specific user, it is necessary to transport the user to the destination floor as efficiently as possible. In order to achieve this purpose, it is conceivable to shorten the door opening time at each floor as described above.

  However, when the door opening time is uniformly shortened, there is a problem that users who are late to ride frequently occur. In addition, if the user has stopped getting in when the door closing time has not been reached, the user who has already entered the car presses the [door closing] button in the car. It is often at the discretion of the user who presses the [door close] button, and there is also a concern that the above-described erroneous operation will be performed.

  Furthermore, the method of Patent Document 1 only reduces the number of users who are late, and does not contribute to shortening the door opening time.

  The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and by providing a destination floor designating device in which the user designates his / her own destination floor in advance in the elevator hall, the elevator car actually arriving at each floor is provided. The number of passengers and the load can be confirmed, the door can be closed at the time of confirmation, and the actual door opening time can be greatly shortened after the person who is scheduled to board is surely boarded. An object of the present invention is to provide an operation control device for an elevator system that can be significantly improved.

In order to solve the above problems, the present invention moves an elevator car to a designated floor in accordance with a user's designation operation on a destination floor in a destination floor designation device provided in an elevator hall on each floor of the building. In the operation control device of the elevator system,
Usage information output means for outputting the user's weight, destination floor and hall call measured with a scale provided in the destination floor designation device as usage information, and all users who are on the car attached to the car Based on the load meter that measures the load of the car and the usage information from the destination floor designation device, the total boarding load of the passengers entering the car from the corresponding floor is calculated, and the load immediately before the stop for the car landing call The load reading means before stopping, the load reduction amount calculating means for calculating the amount of load drop by the passenger when the car is stopped, and the load of the load meter when the car is stopped subtracts the load reduction amount from the load before stop Door closing means for closing the car and moving it to the destination floor of the usage information when entering the allowable range of the value obtained by adding the boarding load to the obtained value.

  In the operation control device for an elevator system configured as described above, a load meter is attached to the elevator car. Then, a user who uses the elevator registers his / her weight on the scale at the same time as specifying the destination floor with the destination floor specifying device provided in the elevator hall before actually getting into the elevator car.

  Then, this destination floor designation device outputs the hall call, the destination floor, and the weight of the floor on which it is installed as usage information. The boarding load of all users who enter the elevator car on each floor can be predicted on the basis of the hall call and weight of this use information. Therefore, the load of all users riding in the car with the load meter attached to the car is calculated by subtracting the passenger's load from the load just before the stop, and the boarding load input by the destination floor designation device. When the added value is added, the door is closed and the car starts moving to the next destination floor.

  Therefore, the actual door opening time can be significantly shortened after the person who is scheduled to board is surely boarded, and the transportation efficiency of the user can be greatly improved.

Further, another invention relates to operation control of an elevator system that moves an elevator car to a designated floor in accordance with a designation operation of a destination floor by a user in a destination floor designation device provided in an elevator hall on each floor of the building. In the device
Usage information output means for outputting the user's weight, destination floor and hall call measured with a weight scale provided on the destination floor designation device as usage information, and all usages attached to the car and riding in this car Based on the usage information from the load meter that measures the load of the passenger and the destination floor designation device, the total boarding load of the passengers on each floor of the car, the unloading load of the passengers getting off on each floor, and the departure time on each floor Correspondence of load prediction table that stores the predicted load of each starting load and load prediction table based on the position and moving direction of the car when new usage information is output and when the car leaves each floor The load prediction table updating means for updating the predicted load of each floor to be operated and the load of the load meter when the car is stopped are within the allowable range of the starting load of the floor where the car is stopped in the load prediction table. Upon entering with closed door the car, and a door-closing determination means for moving the destination floor of the usage information.

  In the elevator system operation control device configured in this way, it is possible to calculate the total boarding load of passengers on each floor of the car, the load of getting off the passengers, and the planned starting load at the time of departure on each floor Therefore, it is possible to start by closing the door when it matches the starting load of the car. Therefore, there are almost the same effects as the previous invention.

Further, another invention relates to operation control of an elevator system that moves an elevator car to a designated floor in accordance with a designation operation of a destination floor by a user in a destination floor designation device provided in an elevator hall on each floor of the building. In the device
Usage information output means for outputting the individual authentication, destination floor and landing call of the corresponding user read by the individual authentication reading device provided in the destination floor designating device as usage information, and usage mounted on this car The number of passengers on each floor of the car and the individual authentication based on the individual authentication reading device in the car that reads the individual authentication of the customer and the individual authentication of the passenger getting off the car and the usage information from the destination floor designation device , A usage prediction table that stores the predicted number of passengers getting off at each floor and individual authentication, and the position and direction of movement of the car when new usage information is output and when the car leaves each floor Based on the above, the usage prediction table update means for updating the number of persons on the corresponding floor of the usage prediction table and the individual authentication, and the individual authentication reading device in the car when the car is stopped read The number of individual authentications of occupant passengers reaches the total number of passengers on the floor where the car is stopped in the usage prediction table, and the individual passengers getting off the vehicle read by the individual authentication reader in the car at the time of the car stop When the number of authentications reaches the total number of passengers getting off the floor where the car is stopped in the usage prediction table, door closing determining means for closing the car and moving it to the destination floor of the usage information is provided.

  In the elevator system operation control device thus configured, the car is provided with an in-car individual authentication reading device instead of the load meter. The destination floor designating device outputs the individual authentication of the user, the destination floor, and the hall call as usage information. Therefore, in the usage prediction table, the latest number of people scheduled to get in and the number of people who are scheduled to get off the floor are always stored.

  And the number of individual authentications of boarding users and the number of individual authentications of getting-off users detected by the individual authentication reading device in the car are the number of scheduled boarding persons and the number of getting-off schedules in the corresponding floor set in the use prediction table. When the number is reached, the door is closed and the car begins moving to the next destination floor.

In another invention, an operation control device for an elevator system that moves an elevator car to a designated floor in response to a user's designation operation on the destination floor in a destination floor designation device provided in an elevator hall on each floor of the building In
Usage information output means for outputting the individual authentication, destination floor and landing call of the corresponding user read by the individual authentication reading device provided in the destination floor designating device as usage information, and usage mounted on this car Number of passengers and individual authentication on each floor of the car, number of passengers getting off on each floor and individual, based on the usage information from the individual authentication reading device in the car and the destination floor indicating device A usage prediction table that stores each predicted value of authentication, and corresponding to the usage prediction table when new usage information is output and when the car leaves each floor, based on the position and moving direction of the car. The use prediction table update means for updating the number of floors and the individual authentication, and the individual authentication reading device in the car at the time of stopping the car stop the car in the use prediction table. Reading individual authentication of all Nokomi patrons floors are, in closed door of the car, and a door-closing determination means for moving the destination floor of the usage information.

  In such a configuration, the individual authentication of the user who gets into the elevator car and the passenger who gets off at each floor is stored in the usage prediction table, so that the individual authentication reader in the car actually uses the passenger and the passenger who gets off the car. Since the door is closed when the individual authentication of the person is read, the door opening / closing control can be performed more reliably.

  In another invention, the usage information output means includes the individual authentication of the user stored in the IC tag possessed by the user in the IC tag reader provided in the destination floor designating device, the destination floor and The hall call is output as usage information. The in-car individual authentication reading device reads the individual authentication of the user stored in the IC tag possessed by the user.

  The present invention provides a destination floor designation in which the user designates his / her own destination floor in advance in the building's lift hall, and by using this information, the number and load of users who actually get into the elevator car that has arrived at each floor Can be confirmed. As a result, the door can be closed at the time of confirmation, and the actual opening time can be greatly shortened after the person who is going to board is surely boarded, and the transportation efficiency of the user can be greatly improved.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

(First embodiment)
FIG. 1 is a schematic configuration diagram of an elevator system in which an operation control apparatus according to a first embodiment of the present invention is incorporated. In the hoistway 1 of the building, a plurality of elevators 2a (No. 1), 2b (No. 2), 2c (No. 3) are arranged, and in each of the elevators 2a, 2b, 2c, the car 3 is the hoistway 1. Is suspended from a main rope 5 by a drive unit 4 including an electric motor and a hoisting machine provided in an upper machine room 6.

A door 7 is provided in each car 3, and a load meter 8 is attached under the floor of the car 3. This load cell 8 is initially set to a load W = 0 in a state where no user is in the car 3. The load W measured by the load cell 8 is input to the single control unit 9 of the elevators 2a to 2c.

  A destination floor designating device 10 shown in FIGS. 2A and 2B is provided in an elevator hall on each floor where the elevator system is incorporated. Specifically, a destination floor button 10a, a card reader 10b, and an indicator 10c of the destination floor designating device 10 are attached to the adjacent wall of the elevator door 12, and a mat-like weight scale is attached to the floor of the elevator hall. 10d is attached.

  Then, the user 11 entering the elevator hall for the purpose of getting on the elevator presses the destination floor button 10a while riding on the scale 10d of the destination floor designating device 10. At this time, the user 11 can input his / her ID (individual authentication) to the destination floor designating apparatus 10 by holding his / her ID card 12 over the card reader 10b.

  The control unit 10e of the destination floor designating device 10 is set to, for example, about 1/2 of the average weight of an adult when the waveform of the weight M measured by the scale 10d shows the mountain waveform shown in FIG. The average value of the trapezoidal portion when the weight is equal to or more than the lower limit weight is determined as the weight M of the corresponding user. Then, the hall call on the floor where the destination floor designating device 10 is installed, the designated destination floor, and the weight M are sent to the group control management unit 14 via the communication line 13 as “usage information”.

  FIG. 4 is a block diagram showing a schematic configuration of the group management control unit 14 configured by a computer and the single control unit 9 of each of the elevators 2a to 2c.

  In the group management control unit 14, when the usage information input unit 15 receives “use information” of each customer 11 from the destination floor designation device 10 of each floor, the call assignment unit 16 calls the hall call included in this use information 1 Assign to the elevators 2a-2c. Specifically, the allocation state including the destination floor of the car 3 of each elevator 2a to 2c and the car position indicating the current position (floor) of the car 3 are read in the single controller 9 of each elevator 2a to 2c, and the shortest The hall call is assigned to the elevators 2a to 2c that can move to the floor designated by the hall call in time.

  The allocation instruction unit 17 sends the allocation result, the weight M included in the usage information, and the destination floor to the single control unit 9 of the elevators 2a to 2c to which the hall call is allocated. The allocation result reply unit 18 returns the allocation result to the destination floor designating device 10. The destination floor designating apparatus 10 that has received the allocation result displays one elevator 2a to 2c that is the allocation result on the display 10c as an elevator on which the user 11 gets. Accordingly, the user 11 proceeds to the front of the elevator door 12 displayed on the destination floor designation device 10 and waits for the elevator to reach.

  In each single-unit control unit 9, the destination floor and the hall call floor that are simultaneously input when the group management control unit 14 gives an assignment instruction are written in the destination floor memory 19. In the scheduled boarding load table 20, as shown in FIG. 5, the boarding load Mg of each floor at which the car 3 of the elevators 2 a to 2 c (unit) is stopped is stored. The table updating unit 21 adds the weight M input at the same time when the group management control unit 14 gives an assignment instruction to the boarding load Mg of the boarding planned floor of the boarding planned load table 20 (Mg = Mg + M). .

  The load reading unit 22 reads the load W of the load meter 8 attached to the car 3 and sends the load W to the door opening determination unit 23. The door opening determination unit 23 stores the load We just before stopping for the hall call of the car 3 read by the load reading unit 22, and calculates the load decrease amount Mf by the dismounter at the time of stopping the car from the pre-stop load We. calculate. Then, the load W of the load cell during the stop period of the car adds the board load Mg of the corresponding floor of the planned boarding load table 20 to the value (We−Mf) obtained by subtracting the load decrease amount Mf from the pre-stop load We. When entering the allowable range of the load Ws (= We−Mf + Mg), all the users 11 specified by the destination floor specifying device 10 have entered the cars 3 of the specified elevators 2a to 2c. to decide.

  The calculation of the load decrease amount Mf by the passenger when the car is stopped is based on the assumption that when the car 3 stops on the designated floor, all the passengers get off and the passengers get in, and the minimum load Wi at that time is calculated. And the load before stop We are calculated (Mf = We−Wi). Therefore, the load Ws is Ws = Wi + Mg.

  The door opening instruction unit 24 instructs the driving unit 4 to close the door when the door opening determining unit 23 determines that the door can be closed.

  FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing the operation of the group management control device 14. When usage information is input from the destination floor designating device 10 on each floor (step S1), a landing call allocation process is performed for this usage information (S2), and the allocation results and usage information are assigned to the elevators 2a to 2c to which the landing call is allocated. The weight M and the destination floor included in are sent (S3). Then, the allocation result is returned to the destination floor designating device 10 (S4). When a reassignment instruction is input from the single control unit 9 (S5), use information hall call assignment processing is performed in S2.

  FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing the operation of the single control unit 9 of each of the elevators 2a to 2c. When an allocation instruction is input from the group management control unit 14 (step Q1), the boarding load Mg on the boarding planned floor (call designated floor) of the boarding planned load table 20 is updated with the weight M of the usage information input at the same time. (Mg = Mg + M) (Q2). If the updated boarding load Mg exceeds the allowable value (Q3), the hall call cannot be assigned to its own elevators 2a to 2c. It returns to the part 14 (Q4), and the update of the boarding planned load table 20 is returned (Q5).

  When the updated boarding load Mg does not exceed the allowable value (Q3), when the car 3 reaches one floor stored in the destination floor table 19 (Q6), the load of the load meter 8 of the car 3 W is read as the pre-stop load We (Q7). And it opens (Q8).

The aforementioned minimum load Wi in the stopped state is read (Q9). A load (starting load) Ws (= Wi + Mg) obtained by adding the loaded loads Mg of all the users 11 designated by the destination floor designating device 10 by reading the loaded loads Mg of the corresponding floor of the planned boarding load table 20. Calculate (Q10). If the current load W is within the allowable range of the load Ws including an error d of ± 30 kg which is 1/2 of the weight of an adult, for example (Q11),
Ws−d <W <Ws + d
Close the door (Q12). Then, the car 3 starts moving to the next floor stored in the destination floor memory 19 (Q13). Finally, the boarding load Mg and the stop instruction on the corresponding floor of the scheduled boarding load table 20 and the destination floor memory 19 are cleared (Q14).

  In the operation control apparatus for an elevator system according to the first embodiment configured as described above, a load meter 8 is attached to the car 3 of each of the elevators 2a to 2c. Further, the user 11 who uses the elevator designates his / her destination floor with the destination floor designating device 10 provided in the elevator hall before actually getting into the elevator car 3, and at the same time with his / her weight scale 10d. Register weight M. The destination information including the weight M is transmitted to the group management control unit 14 and the assigned elevator single control unit 9 and registered in the corresponding floor of the scheduled boarding load table 20.

  Therefore, the load W of all the users who are in the car 3 with the load meter 8 attached to the car 3 is input to the minimum load Wi obtained by subtracting the load Mf of the dismounter from the load We just before stopping. When reaching the value Ws obtained by adding the boarding load Mg, the door 3 is immediately closed and the car 3 can start moving to the next destination floor.

  Therefore, it is possible to significantly reduce the actual door opening time and to greatly improve the transportation efficiency of the user 11 after the person who is scheduled to get in is surely boarded the car 3 without leaving the elevator hall.

(Second Embodiment)
FIG. 8 is a block diagram showing a schematic configuration of a group management control unit and a single control unit in an elevator system in which an operation control apparatus according to the second embodiment of the present invention is incorporated. The same parts as those of the group management control unit and the single control unit of the first embodiment shown in FIG. Further, the overall view of the elevator system is substantially the same as that of the first embodiment shown in FIG.

The group management control unit 14 of the second embodiment has almost the same configuration as the group management control unit 14 of the first embodiment. In the single controller 9a of each elevator 2a, 2b, 2c of the second embodiment, a person load prediction table 25 is provided instead of the scheduled boarding load table 20 of FIG. In the passenger load prediction table 25, as shown in FIG. 9, the number of passengers N _A , the number of passengers loaded Mg, the number of passengers getting off N _B , the number of passengers getting off Mb, the number of people at departure Ns, on each floor of the elevator car 3 The starting load Ms is stored.

The table updating unit 21a updates each value in the number of people load prediction table 25 using the hall call, the weight M, and the destination floor that are simultaneously input when the group management control unit 14 gives an assignment instruction. That is, 1 is added to the number of passengers N _A on the floor designated by the hall call, and the weight M is added to the boarding load Mg. _{(N A = N A + 1} , Mg = Mg + M), further adds 1 to the starting time of number Ns of the first floor, adds weight M in the starting time of the load Ms.

Further, 1 is added to the getting-off number N _B of floors specified by the destination floor, adds weight M in the getting-off load Nb floor specified by the destination floor. (N _B = N _B +1, Mb = Mb + M) Further, the departure number Ns of the same floor is subtracted by 1, and the departure load Ms is subtracted by the body weight M.

Further, every time the car 3 departs from one floor, the table updating unit 21a clears the boarding number N _A , the boarding load Mg, the boarding number N _B , and the boarding load Mb on that floor.

The load reading unit 22 reads the load W of the load meter 8 attached to the car 3 and sends it to the door opening determining unit 23a. The door opening determining unit 23a, when the load W of the car 3 read by the car load reading unit 22 is within the allowable range of the starting load Ms on the corresponding floor during the period in which the car 3 is stopped,
Ms−d <W <Ms + d
Since all the users 11 designated by the destination floor designation device 10 have entered the car 3 of the designated elevators 2a to 2c, it is determined that the door can be closed.

  The door opening instruction unit 24 instructs the driving unit 4 to close the door when the door opening determining unit 23a determines that the door can be closed.

FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing the operation of the single control unit 9a of each of the elevators 2a to 2c. When an allocation instruction is input from the group management control unit 14 (step R1), the boarding number N _{A on} each floor of the number-of-persons load prediction table 25 using the hall call, weight M, and destination floor of the usage information input at the same time. , Nokomi load Mg, getting off the number N _B, get off load Mb, starting at the number of people Ns, to update the starting time of load Ms (R2). If the updated starting load Ms exceeds the allowable value (R3), the hall call cannot be assigned to its own elevators 2a to 2c, so the assignment is impossible and the reassignment instruction is group-managed. It returns to the control part 14 (R4), and the update of the people load prediction table 25 is returned (R5).

When the updated starting load Ms does not exceed the allowable value (R3), when the car 3 reaches one floor stored in the destination floor memory 19 (R6), the car 3 is opened (R7). ). The departure load Ms on the stop floor of the number of persons load prediction table 25 is read. Then, the actual load W measured by the car load meter 8 during the stop period of the car 3 is read (R8), and the read actual load W is within the allowable range of the starting load Ms. (R9),
Ms−d <W <Ms + d
The door 7 of the car 3 is closed (R10). Then, the car 3 starts moving to the next floor stored in the destination floor memory 19 (R11). Finally, the boarding number N _A , boarding load Mg, boarding number N _B , and boarding load Mb on the corresponding floor of the number-of-persons load prediction table 25 are cleared (R12).

  The operation of the group management control unit 14 in the second embodiment is the same as the operation of the group management control unit 14 in the first embodiment shown in FIG.

In the operation control device for an elevator system according to the second embodiment configured as described above, the individual load prediction table 25 shown in FIG. the, in the floor of the car 3, always up to date, Nokomi number N _a, Nokomi load Mg, alighting persons N _B, the getting-off load Mb, starting at number Ns, the predicted value of the starting time of the load Ms is stored Yes.

  Therefore, since the load W of the load meter 8 of the actual car 3 is based on the comparison result with the above-described accurate predicted values stored in the person load prediction table 25, the car 3 is closed. The door opening time from the door opening to closing of the car 3 can be further reduced.

  In the embodiment, when the user operates the destination floor designating device 10 and the user information is input, the boarding floor and the destination floor of the user information are currently at the boarding floor from the destination floor. Since it was assigned to the elevator car that was moving in the position and direction that reached earlier, the predicted values in the passenger load prediction table 25 were updated unconditionally on the boarding floor and the destination floor.

  However, if the boarding floor and destination floor of this user information are assigned to the elevator car that is moving to the position and direction where the boarding floor arrives later than the destination floor at the present time, this car will be the destination floor. When the position and direction arrive earlier than the floor, the predicted values in the passenger load prediction table 25 are updated with the boarding floor and the destination floor.

  The same applies to the following third embodiment.

(Third embodiment)
FIG. 11 is a schematic configuration diagram of an elevator system in which an operation control apparatus according to the third embodiment of the present invention is incorporated. The same parts as those in the elevator system according to the first embodiment shown in FIG. Therefore, the detailed description of the overlapping part is omitted.

  In the third embodiment, as the destination floor designating device, the IC tag 28 shown in FIG. 12 in which the user name, the user ID, and the two permitted floors are stored in the internal memory 27 is used wirelessly. A wireless reader 26 is provided for reading. The IC tag 28 is stored in, for example, a chest pocket of the user 11 of the building.

  When the user 11 of this building wears the IC tag 28 and passes the position near the wireless reader 26, the user name, user ID, and two use permission floors stored in the IC tag 28 are displayed. It is read as first usage information and sent to the group management controller 14 via the signal line 18. In this case, of the two available floors, the floor where the wireless reader 26 is installed is the designated floor for the hall call, and the other is the destination floor. The wireless reader 26 is provided with a display for displaying the allocation result.

  Further, in the third embodiment, a user 11 entering the car 3 from the door 7 and a door 7 from the car 3 are placed above the door 7 in the car 3 of each elevator 2a to 2c. A wireless reader 29 having the same configuration as that of the wireless reader 26 that reads the usage information stored in the memory 27 of the IC tag 28 in a non-contact manner is distinguished from the user 11 who leaves the elevator hall. The wireless reader 29 transmits the read usage information of the passenger and the passenger as the second usage information to the single control unit 9b of the elevators 2a to 2c.

  FIG. 13 is a block diagram showing a schematic configuration of the group management control unit 14 and the single unit control unit 9b in the elevator system according to the third embodiment. The same parts as those of the group management control unit 14 and the single unit control unit 9 of the first embodiment shown in FIG.

  The configuration and operation of the group management control unit 14 are substantially the same as those of the group management control device 14 of the first embodiment shown in FIGS.

A scheduled use table 30 shown in FIG. 14 is formed in the single controller 9b of each elevator 2a to 2c. In this use schedule table 30, the number of passengers N _A , the number of passengers, the number of passengers N _B , the number of passengers getting off, the number of people at departure Ns, and the departure person ID in each floor of the elevator car 3 are stored. Yes.

The table updating unit 21b uses the hall call, user ID, and destination floor included in the first usage information from the wireless reader 26, which is simultaneously input when the group management control unit 14 gives an allocation instruction. Then, each value of the use schedule table 30 is updated. That is, 1 is added to the number of passengers N _A on the floor designated by the hall call (N _A = N _A +1), and the current user ID is added to the passenger ID. Further, 1 is added to the number Ns of departures on the same floor, and the current user ID is added to the departure person ID. Further, 1 is added to the getting-off number N _B of floors specified by the destination floor (N _B = N _B +1), further decremented by 1 starting at number Ns of the first floor. Also, the current user ID is cleared from the departure ID on the same floor.

  That is, in the use schedule table 30, the number of people who will get on and off each floor and the IDs of people who will get on and off are stored.

Further, every time the car 3 departs from one floor, the table updating unit 21b clears the number of passengers N _A , the passenger ID, the number of passengers N _B and the passenger ID of the corresponding floor.

  The boarding / alighting detection unit 22a sends the user ID designating boarding / alighting input from the wireless reader 29 of the car 3 during the stop period of the car 3 to the door closing determination unit 23b. The door closing determination unit 23b includes a boarding number Ca that is the number of user IDs of passengers input during a period in which the car 3 is stopped, and a number of getting off Cb that is the number of user IDs of the dismounters. Count. At the same time, it is confirmed that each input user ID is a user ID stored on the corresponding floor in the use schedule table 30.

When the actual boarding number Ca and the number of getting off Cb coincide with the number of boarding persons N _A and the number of getting off persons N _B on the corresponding floor in the use schedule table 30, all the users 11 read by the wireless reader 26 are read. Is entered into the car 3 of the designated elevators 2a to 2c, and all the persons who are going to get off get off, so it is determined that the door can be closed.

  The door opening instruction unit 24 instructs the driving unit 4 to close the door when the door opening determining unit 23b determines that the door can be closed.

FIG. 15 is a flowchart showing the operation of the single controller 9b of each elevator 2a to 2c. When an allocation instruction is input from the group management control unit 14 (step P1), the number of passengers N _{A on} each floor of the usage schedule table 30 using the hall call, destination floor, and user ID of the usage information input at the same time, Nokomi's ID, getting off the number N _B, alighting's ID, starting at the number of people Ns, to update the departing person ID (P2). If the updated departure number Ns exceeds the allowable value (P3), the hall call cannot be assigned to the elevators 2a to 2c. It returns to the control part 14 (P4), and the update of the utilization schedule table 30 is returned (P5).

When the updated number Ns of departures does not exceed the allowable value (P3), when the car 3 reaches one floor stored in the destination floor memory 19 (P6), the car 3 is opened (P7). ). Nokomi number N _A of the stop floors use schedule table 30, read the getting off the number N _B. Then, in the boarding / alighting detection unit 22a, counting of the actual boarding number Ca and the number of getting off cars Cb is started by the method described above using the wireless reader 29 attached to the car 3 (P8).

Then, all real and Nokomi number Ca and alighting number Cb is Nokomi number N _A of the corresponding floors in use schedule table 30, to match the alighting persons N _B to (P9), read by the radio reading device 26 The user 11 enters the car 3 of the designated elevators 2a to 2c, and all the people who are going to get off get off, so it is determined that the door can be closed. Then, the car 3 is closed (P10).

Then, the car 3 starts moving to the next floor stored in the destination floor table 19 (P11). Finally, the boarding number N _A , boarding person ID, boarding person number N _B , and boarding person ID on the corresponding floor of the use floor table 30 are cleared (P12).

In the operation control apparatus of the elevator system of the third embodiment configured as described above, the elevator hall on each floor has two usages that configure the user name, the user ID, the designated floor for the hall call, and the destination floor. A wireless reader 26 for reading the IC tag 28 in which the permission floor is stored is provided. When the user 11 having the IC tag 28 approaches the wireless reader 26, the user ID, landing call, and destination floor stored in the IC tag 28 are read as usage information, and the usage information is assigned. Further, the number of passengers N _A , the passenger ID, the number of passengers getting off N _B , the number of passengers getting off, the number of people at departure Ns, and the departure person ID are registered in the table 30 to be used by the single control unit 9b of the elevator.

  Then, the number Ca of getting on and off the car 3 and the number Cb of getting off the car 3 are detected by the wireless reader 29 attached in the vicinity of the door 7 of the car 3. Therefore, since all the users 11 registered on each floor can get into the car 3 of the designated elevators 2a to 2c and all the persons who are going to get off the car can be surely grasped, The door closing timing can be shortened under conditions that more reliably prevent the remaining from occurring, the door opening time can be shortened, and the transportation efficiency for the user 11 can be improved.

  In addition, this invention is not limited to the operation control apparatus of the elevator system of 3rd Embodiment mentioned above.

  For example, the boarding / alighting detection unit 22a in FIG. 13 sends out the user ID that specifies the boarding and getting off, input from the wireless reader 29 of the car 3 during the stop period of the car 3, to the door closing determination unit 23b. The door closing determination unit 23b compares the user IDs of the passengers that are sequentially input during the period when the car 3 is stopped with the passenger IDs stored on the corresponding floor in the use schedule table 30. Go. Similarly, the user IDs of the passengers sequentially input during the period in which the car 3 is stopped are compared with the passenger IDs stored on the corresponding floor in the usage schedule table 30.

  And collation with the actual boarder ID with respect to all boarder ID memorize | stored in the applicable floor in the utilization schedule table 30 is complete | finished, and all the memories memorize | stored in the corresponding floor in the utilization schedule table 30 similarly. When collation with the actual disembarkation ID with respect to the disembarkation ID is completed, it is determined that the door can be closed, the car 3 is closed, and movement to the next floor is started.

  In this way, the user ID of the passenger in the elevator car 3 and the user ID of the passenger getting off at each floor are stored in the usage prediction table 30, and the wireless reader 29 in the car 3 actually receives the passenger. Since the door is closed when the user ID and the user ID of the passenger getting off are read, the door opening / closing control can be performed more reliably.
