Description

  The present invention relates to an elevator operation method, and more particularly to an elevator operation method for automatic operation.

Generally, in a large-scale building where a plurality of elevators are installed next to each other, an immediate forecast is used for an elevator car (hereinafter referred to as a car) that seems to be the earliest arrival, and the hall lantern of the expected arrival car is turned on.
For example, Patent Document 1 discloses an elevator group management control device that controls a plurality of elevators having a hall lantern indicating a response display and arrival display of a car at a landing as a group. This group management control device is provided with detecting means for detecting presence or absence of passengers and approaching at the landing, and when the passenger knows that the passenger has entered the landing by the output of the detecting means, the car is assigned to both the upward and downward directions, and the hall When the lantern is turned on and the car of the passenger approaching is detected by the output of the detection means, the assignment is left as it is, and the car of the non-passenger is judged not to be used and the assignment is canceled. is there.

Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 61-226475 (column of effect of the invention, FIG. 2)

According to the above-mentioned patent document 1, the passenger call registration can be automatically performed at the same time when the passenger enters the elevator hall, and the passenger does not have to go to the vicinity of the elevator landing door and press the hall button. It becomes possible, and the service to passengers can be improved.
However, when a first group of elevators adjacent to a plurality of cars and a second group of elevators adjacent to a plurality of cars are arranged facing each other through an elevator hall, for example, If the elevator of the first group, which is adjacent to the car for the floor, and the elevator of the second group, which is adjacent to the car for the higher floor, are placed facing each other through the elevator hall, There are cases where the hall lantern and the hall lantern on the higher floor light up directly opposite. In this case, there is a problem in that passengers in the car for the lower floors and passengers in the car for the higher floors gather in one place, block the passage, and obstruct passengers getting on and off from other cars. It was.

  In addition, the hall lantern blinks when it arrives by car call, and it has a function to inform the passengers of the landing that the car has arrived, but the hall lantern of the car directly opposite the hall lantern blinks. In other words, passengers waiting in front of other cars rush into the blinking car of the hall lantern, and as a result, passengers traveling to the lower floors and passengers traveling to the higher floors gather in one place. As a result, there was a problem that the passage was blocked and passengers getting in and out of other cars were obstructed.

  The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problem, and an object of the present invention is to provide an elevator operation method in which passengers waiting for boarding gather in one place and do not block the passage of the elevator hall. It is.

  The elevator driving method according to the present invention includes a first group elevator in which a plurality of elevators with immediate forecasts are installed next to each other and a second group elevator in which a plurality of elevators with immediate forecasts are installed next to each other through an elevator hall. And an elevator operation method installed to enter and exit the elevator hall from at least one of the left and right sides of the elevator hall toward the elevator, the elevator comprising the elevator of the first group The immediate forecast and the immediate forecast of the elevators constituting the second group of elevators are assigned separately.

  According to the elevator driving method according to the present invention, the immediate forecast of the elevators constituting the first group of elevators in which a plurality of elevators with immediate forecasts are installed next to each other, and the plurality of elevators with immediate forecasts are installed next to each other. Since the immediate forecasts of the elevators that make up the two groups of elevators are assigned separately, passengers waiting for boarding do not gather in one place and block the passage of the elevator hall, improving passenger convenience .

  Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of an elevator operation method according to the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to this embodiment, and includes various design changes.

Embodiment 1 FIG.
FIG. 1 is a configuration diagram for explaining an elevator operation method according to the first embodiment. In FIG. 1, Units A to D indicate elevators for lower floors below the predetermined floor (hereinafter also referred to as low-level car), and Units E to H represent elevators for higher floors exceeding the predetermined floor (hereinafter referred to as “lower floors”). , Also called high-rise car). The low-rise cars (No. A to No. D) are installed next to each other to constitute a first group of elevators, and the high-rise cars (No. E to H. No.) are also provided next to each other to constitute a second group of elevators. A low-rise car (A-D) of the first group elevator and a high-rise car (E-H) of the second group face each other via the elevator hall 1. Each of the low-rise car (Units A to D) and the high-rise car (E Units to H) has a hall lantern a indicating a response forecast display and an arrival display of the car at the upper left of a landing door (not shown), for example. -D and e-h are installed.

  In addition, the elevator hall 1 is provided with an entrance 2 on the left side in the drawing, that is, on the left side toward the high-rise car (E-No. H to No. H), and passengers of the elevator enter and exit the elevator hall 1 from the entrance 2. It will be. In addition, I in the figure indicates Mr. I who gets off the elevator.

  Next, the operation of the first embodiment will be described using the flowchart of FIG. First, in step S1, it is determined whether there is a car in which the hall lanterns (a to d) are lit among the low-rise cars (No. A to D), and if there is a lit car, the process proceeds to step S2. .

  In step S2, information on the car whose hall lanterns (a to d) are lit is transmitted to the high-rise car (E to H), and the process proceeds to step S3. In step S3, when an immediate forecast is made for a high-rise car (No. E to H), the car is assigned from a car other than directly opposite the hall lantern-lit car of the low-rise car (No. A to No. D).

  This will be described with reference to the example of FIG. For example, if hall lantern a of low-rise car A is lit, assigning an immediate forecast of high-rise car to Unit E causes passengers to gather near low-rise car A and high-rise car E, and elevator hall Blocking the passage of 1 makes it difficult for Mr. I to leave the elevator hall 1. Therefore, the immediate forecast of the high-rise car is assigned to any one of the F, G, and H cars other than the E car.

  As described above, according to the first embodiment, since the immediate forecasts of the low-rise car (A-D machine) and the high-rise car (E-H machine) are assigned to the separated cars, the low-rise car (A It is possible to prevent passengers in the No. D to D) and passengers in the high-rise cars (E No. to H) from gathering in one place, blocking the passage of the elevator hall 1 and hindering passengers getting on and off from other cars Nothing will happen.

Embodiment 2. FIG.
Next, a second embodiment will be described. FIG. 3 is a block diagram for explaining an elevator operation method according to the second embodiment, which is substantially the same as FIG.

  Next, the operation of the second embodiment will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. In FIG. 4, steps S1 to 3 are the same as those in the first embodiment, and a description thereof will be omitted.

  In step S4, it is determined whether the car directly opposite the car in which the hall lanterns (a to h) of the low-rise cars (A to D) are lit has arrived earlier than the immediate forecast car. If the first car arrives first, the hall lantern of the first car is not blinked in step S5.

  This will be described with reference to the example of FIG. For example, when the hall lanterns of the low-rise car C and the high-rise car E are lit, when the A car in the low-rise car arrives earlier than the C car due to the car call, the hall lantern a of the A car is normally blinked. If it does so, the passenger who waited for C machine will move to A machine, block the passage of elevator hall 1, and Mr. I will become difficult to go out of elevator hall 1. Therefore, the hall lantern a is not blinked even if the first car arrives, and the passenger waiting for the second car is prevented from moving to the first car.

  As described above, according to the second embodiment, when the car directly opposite the immediate forecast car arrives first by a car call, the hall lantern does not blink, and the passenger waiting for the ride moves to the first car, thereby Can be prevented from gathering in one place, and the passage of the elevator hall 1 is blocked to prevent passengers from getting in and out of other cars.

  In each of the embodiments described above, the present invention is applied to a building in which four low-rise elevators and four high-rise elevators are installed facing each other directly opposite. There is no need for the elevator to go to the upper floor and the elevator to the higher floors to face each other, the first group elevator with multiple elevators next to it, and the second group with multiple elevators next to each other Even if it is applied to a building that has an elevator facing it, the same effect can be obtained. Further, the doorway 2 of the elevator hall 1 can of course have the same effect even if it is applied to a building in which the doorways 2 are provided on both the left and right sides of a high-rise car (E-No. H to No. H).
