Description

The present invention relates to an elevator apparatus that automatically registers a hall call without a passenger's operation and calls an elevator car.

  Conventionally, when a plurality of elevators are collected and installed as a group, passengers who visit the landing register a hall call by operating a hall call button provided in common to the group of elevators, A group management controller is used that selects and assigns a car to answer the call.

  Recently, in order to improve the convenience of passengers, a sensor that detects passengers is installed at the elevator hall, and when a passenger is detected by the sensor, a hall call in a predetermined direction is automatically registered, and the elevator detects the passenger. There are some that call up to the floor (for example, see Patent Document 1).

  In addition, when a passenger on the landing approaches the vicinity of the door of the elevator while the elevator car is waiting for the door closed, the sensor provided at the landing detects the passenger and opens the door for use by the passenger (See, for example, Patent Document 2).

JP2003-221169 (paragraphs 0050 to 0062) JP-A-7-172717 (paragraphs 0012 to 0014 and FIG. 2)

  In the conventional elevator, the passenger's desired traveling direction (UP / DOWN) is not specified or the passenger's desired traveling direction is not mentioned. The elevator does not always respond. Therefore, the passenger had to press the hall call button for instructing the desired traveling direction at the hall.

  When the sensor detects a passenger, the elevator that is stopped on the floor is opened. However, if there was no elevator on the floor, the passenger had to press the hall call button.

  The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems, and the passenger can use the hall call button at the hall regardless of the floor on which the car is boarded, even if the car is not on the floor. It is an object of the present invention to provide an elevator apparatus that can surely head in a certain direction of a destination floor without performing a specific operation such as pressing.

  The elevator apparatus according to the present invention detects passengers in the elevator hall from signals detected by a landing sensor installed near the door of the landing, and creates a hall call in both the upper and lower directions based on the detection of passengers in the elevator hall. The landing passenger detection means, the assignment candidate car determination means for determining the assigned car candidate car assigned to the bi-directional landing call created by the landing passenger detection means, and the candidate car determined by the assignment candidate car determination means From the assigned car determining means for determining the assigned car, the passenger front F detecting means for detecting passengers in front of the landing door of the assigned car based on the signals detected by the landing sensors, and the passenger detection means for landing in the elevator hall If a passenger in front of the landing door is not detected by the passenger detection means in front of the car, the assigned car is decided. A revising object determining means for determining whether or not a condition for reviewing the allocation of the allocation car determined by the determining means is satisfied, and determining an allocation car satisfying the condition as an allocation car to be reconsidered; A reviewing allocation candidate car determination means for reviewing the allocation car to be reviewed determined in accordance with the above, and determining a car to be a candidate for reassignment of the hall call to which the allocation car to be reviewed is assigned. is there.

According to the elevator apparatus according to the present invention, the passenger does not perform a specific operation such as pressing the hall call button at the landing, even if the passenger is not stopped at the floor where the car rides, regardless of the floor on which the passenger gets. It has the effect that it can go to the direction where the destination floor is located.

It is a block diagram which shows the structure of the elevator apparatus which concerns on Embodiment 1 of this invention. It is explanatory drawing of the hall sensor which concerns on Embodiment 1 of this invention. It is a flowchart explaining operation | movement of the elevator apparatus which concerns on Embodiment 1 of this invention.

Embodiment 1 FIG.
Hereinafter, the elevator apparatus according to the first embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the elevator apparatus according to the present embodiment. FIG. 2 is an explanatory diagram of the hall sensor according to the present embodiment. The elevator apparatus 1 includes a hall sensor 11 that detects passengers in front of each door of the elevator hall, a hall notification apparatus 12 that leaves a car assigned to a hall call, and an elevator control apparatus 2 that controls the car. Are electrically connected.

  Further, the elevator control device 2 detects a passenger in the elevator hall and creates a landing call in both directions, and a priority direction determination means 22 determines one direction of the two-way landing calls as a priority direction. An allocation candidate car determining means 23 for determining an assignment candidate car, an assignment car determining means 24 for determining an assignment car from the determined assignment candidate cars, a notification control means 25 for controlling the hall notification device 12, Review target determination means 26 for determining the allocation car to be reviewed among the allocated cars, review allocation candidate car determination means 27 for reviewing the allocation car to be reviewed and determining a candidate car for reassignment, Passenger detecting means 28 for detecting passengers and car control means 29 for controlling the operation of the assigned car are provided, and these are electrically connected.Moreover, each means 21-29 is comprised by the software on a microcomputer, for example.

  As shown in FIG. 2A, the landing sensor 11 is installed on the landing door 30, for example, in order to detect passengers in front of the car landing door 30, and includes a photoelectric sensor, an infrared sensor, a camera, It consists of a microphone, a Doppler sensor, a communication antenna, and combinations thereof. A photoelectric sensor, an infrared sensor, a camera, a microphone, and a Doppler sensor detect signals such as sound, light, and electromagnetic waves for detecting passengers in front of the landing door 30. The communication antenna communicates with a portable information terminal such as a mobile phone held by a passenger, and indirectly detects that the passenger holding the portable information terminal is in front of the landing door 30. The signal is detected. The installation position of the landing sensor does not necessarily have to be on the landing door 30 and may be on the side of the landing door 30 or on the landing door itself. FIG.2 (b) is a bird's-eye view of the elevator hall of the elevator group arrange | positioned 3 each facing. Since the hall sensor 11 is arranged to detect passengers in front of the hall doors of the cars a to g, it is possible to detect the presence or absence of passengers in most of the elevator hall.

  In FIG. 1, a hall notification device 12 is installed in an elevator hall, and is used to notify passengers of an assigned car for UP direction landing calls and a DOWN direction hall call, lamps, lanterns, displays, speakers, It is composed of a combination of For example, if it is composed of lamps and lanterns, it will be installed near the landing door of each car, and different parts will be lit and blinking for UP and DOWN, and different colors will be lit and blinking for UP and DOWN. The passenger is informed that the car is an assigned car. For example, in the case of a display, the assigned car for each hall call is displayed to notify the passenger of the assigned car. For example, in the case of a speaker, it is installed in the vicinity of the landing door of each car, and the passenger is informed that the car is an assigned car by ringing with UP and DOWN with tone and volume.

  The landing passenger detection means 21 detects passengers in the elevator hall based on the signal detected by the landing sensor 11 and creates landing calls in both directions UP and DOWN.

  The priority direction determination means 22 determines which landing call is to be handled preferentially among the UP and DOWN direction landing calls created by the landing passenger detection means 21. The hall call determined as the priority direction is assigned a car prior to the hall call in the non-priority direction.

  The allocation candidate car determination unit 23 determines a plurality of candidate cars (allocation candidate cars) each corresponding to a bilateral hall call allocation created by the landing passenger detection unit 21.

  The assigned car determination means 24 determines the assigned car of the landing call created by the landing passenger detection means 21 from the plurality of assignment candidate cars determined by the assigned candidate car determination means 22 for each of the two-way landing calls.

  The notification control means 25 controls the hall notification device 12 installed in the vicinity of the landing door of each car, and notifies the passengers of the assigned cars of the hall calls in both the upper and lower directions determined by the assigned car determining means 24.

  The review target determining unit 26 determines whether or not the conditions for reviewing the bi-directional allocation car determined by the allocation car determining unit 24 are satisfied, and determines the allocation car to satisfy as the allocation car to be reviewed. . At this time, as a condition for reviewing the assigned car, as described later, for example, a threshold (Thres_2) at which the estimated arrival time at which the assigned car will arrive at the floor where the landing call was made does not lower the transportation efficiency of the elevator Examples include those that are the following and those that are greater than or equal to a threshold (Thres_3) that does not confuse passengers.

  The review-time allocation candidate car determination means 27 reviews the allocation car to be reviewed determined by the review object determination means 26 and determines a car to be a candidate for reassignment of the hall call to which the allocation car to be reviewed is assigned. The conditions that can be determined to be an allocation candidate car are described later, but are the same as the conditions that can be an allocation candidate car for a non-priority direction hall call.

  The passenger-in-car detection means 28 detects a passenger in front of the landing door of the assigned car based on the signal detected by the landing sensor 11.

  The car control means 29 controls the operation of the assigned car based on the detection result of the passengers before the landing door of the assigned car by the passenger detection means 28 in front of the car.

  FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing the operation of the elevator apparatus of FIG. 1 according to the present embodiment. In step ST101, the landing passenger detection means 21 detects the presence or absence of a passenger in the elevator hall based on the signal from the landing sensor 11. For example, when a signal different from the signal acquired when no one is in the elevator hall is detected, it is determined that there are passengers in the elevator hall. If a passenger in the elevator hall is detected, the process proceeds to step ST102. Conversely, if a passenger in the elevator hall is not detected, the subsequent processing is not performed.

  When passengers in the elevator hall are detected in step ST101, that is, when the process proceeds to NO, the landing passenger detection means 21 creates landing calls in both directions UP and DOWN.

  In step ST103, the priority direction determination means 22 determines which direction (priority direction) is preferentially handled among the UP and DOWN direction hall calls created by the landing passenger detection means 21. This is for the following reason. For example, it is assumed that there is one car A that is stopped in a state where no one is on board and is not assigned to a hall call. If a hall call is assigned to this car A, it does not stop at other floors, so it is possible to arrive at the floor where the hall call occurs in a short time. However, even if both UP and DOWN direction hall calls are assigned to car A, the service will be provided to passengers of either one of the hall calls, so the other hall call is essentially It is often preferable to assign a car other than car A. Depending on which landing call is assigned to the car A, that is, which direction is preferentially handled in the following flowcharts, the waiting time of passengers and the transportation efficiency of the entire building can be improved.

  For example, it is necessary to create a hall call only in the DOWN direction on the top floor and in the UP direction on the bottom floor. Therefore, the DOWN direction is the priority direction on the top floor, and the UP direction is the priority direction on the bottom floor. Also, it is called the main floor, and on the floor where passengers are frequently used (generally the first floor), many passengers move from the main floor to the upper floor. Therefore, the UP direction is the priority direction for the main floor and the floor below the main floor. Conversely, in the upper floors of the main floor, there are generally many people who move to the main floor, and the DOWN direction is set as the priority direction in the upper floors of the main floor. Alternatively, the priority direction may be determined by learning the usage frequency in each direction. For example, in the past fixed period, the number of occurrences of hall calls, the number of times passengers departed to the destination floor (the number of times the car call button was pressed and departed to the destination floor), etc. as the priority direction, etc. Also good.

  In step ST104, the allocation candidate car determination means 23 determines the allocation candidate car for the bi-directional landing call created by the landing passenger detection means 21. For example, a car call assigned to a hall call in the direction opposite to the direction is excluded from car assignment candidates for a hall call in that direction. This is defined as exclusion condition 1. The exclusion condition 1 is to prevent the same car from being assigned to hall calls in both directions and confusing passengers at the hall. In addition, a car whose arrival time (predicted arrival time) is less than the threshold (Thres_1), and a car that does not stop on the floor with a car call is a non-preferred direction (non-priority direction) Excluded from the call allocation candidate basket. This is defined as exclusion condition 2. The exclusion condition 2 is for preventing the deterioration of the transportation efficiency of the entire building.

  When the passenger detection at the landing 21 detects a passenger on the landing, a landing call in both directions is created, but only one of them coincides with the desired traveling direction of the passenger. The hall call in the non-priority direction is likely not to coincide with the desired direction of travel. Assigning a hall call that does not match the desired direction of travel and stopping the car on the floor in vain deteriorates the transportation efficiency of the entire building. As will be described later, when there are no more passengers from the elevator hall, the hall call on the floor and the state assigned to it are deleted, so that the cage that was the assigned car does not stop at the floor. Therefore, if a hall call in a non-priority direction is assigned to a car with a long time to arrive at the floor (predicted arrival time), there is a possibility that the passenger will not stop at the floor when there are no passengers in the elevator hall. It is possible to prevent the deterioration of the transportation efficiency of the entire building. That is, for example, a car whose estimated arrival time at the floor is longer than a car call assigned to a priority direction landing call is assigned as a car call assigned to a non-priority direction. A car that stops at a car call on that floor will be stopped at that floor even if it is not assigned to a non-priority direction hall call. Also good.

  The allocation candidate car determination unit 23 determines an allocation candidate car based on the exclusion condition 1, the exclusion condition 2, and combinations thereof. In addition, in order to determine the allocation candidate car, it is not necessary to determine according to a prescribed rule, such as the exclusion condition 1 and the exclusion condition 2. For example, in general, in order to determine an assigned car, an evaluation function when the hall call is temporarily assigned to each car in the assignment candidate car is calculated, and from the magnitude relationship of the evaluation values obtained by the calculation, The superiority or inferiority of each car is determined, and the best car is determined as the assigned car. Therefore, even if the candidate car is not determined according to the specified rule, for example, the car is assigned by calculating the evaluation value of the car corresponding to the exclusion condition 1 or the exclusion condition 2 so that the value is not the best. It is possible to obtain the same effect as excluding the candidate car.

  In step ST105, the allocation car determination means 24 determines the best allocation car for each hall call in both directions from among the allocation candidate cars determined by the allocation candidate car determination means 23. The method of determining the best allocation car from among the allocation candidate cars has been described in many prior documents, and will be omitted here. Note that the assigned car is determined first from the priority direction landing call.

  When the assigned car is determined in step ST106, the notification control means 25 controls the hall notification device 12 to notify the passengers on the hall of the assigned car determined by the assigned car determination means 24.

  In step ST107, the hall passenger detection means 21 detects the presence or absence of passengers in the elevator hall. The detection method is the same as in step ST101. If the passenger is no longer in the elevator hall, the process proceeds to step ST108. If the passenger is still in the hall, the process proceeds to step ST109.

  In step ST108, since the passenger is not detected in the elevator hall by the landing passenger detection means 21, the allocation car determination means 24 deletes the hall call of the floor and the allocation car.

  In step ST109, the passenger detection means 28 in front of the car detects the presence or absence of passengers in front of the landing doors of the assigned cars in both directions on the basis of the signals from the landing sensors 11, and the passengers go to the landing doors of the assigned cars. If not, the process proceeds to step ST110. This indicates a case where passengers are present in the elevator hall, but there are no passengers in front of the landing door of the assigned car (priority / non-priority direction). Conversely, when a passenger is detected in front of the landing door of the assigned car, the process proceeds to step ST112.

  In step ST110, the review target determining means 26 determines whether or not the two-way allocation car determined by the allocation car determining means 24 satisfies the conditions for review, and if so, the allocation car is determined. Is determined as the allocation basket to be reviewed. For example, a hall call whose estimated arrival time to the floor of the assigned car is equal to or less than a threshold (Thres_2) is determined as a hall call for changing the assigned car. This is defined as decision condition 1. The decision condition 1 is to prevent deterioration of the transportation efficiency of the entire building.

  When the assigned car is notified to the hall by the hall notifying device 12, the passenger who is about to get on the assigned car usually moves near the landing door of the assigned car. If there is no passenger before the landing door of the assigned car, it can be determined that there is no passenger who can get in the assigned car at that time. Therefore, even if the allocation car at that time arrives as it is, the passenger cannot get on. Therefore, in order to change the assigned car of the hall call to another car, it is determined as a hall call for changing the assigned car. In order for the car to stop on the floor, it must decelerate for a certain period of time. Therefore, when the estimated arrival time of the assigned car to the floor becomes equal to or less than the threshold value (Thres_2), it is determined as a hall call for changing the assigned car. That is, the allocation car whose estimated arrival time at the landing is less than the time (for example, about 5 seconds) added to the time from when the allocation car starts decelerating until it arrives at the landing is less than Determine the allocation basket to be reviewed. Thereby, it is possible to prevent the assigned car that no one gets on from being wasted on the floor and deteriorating the transportation efficiency of the entire building.

  In addition, for example, a hall call for an assigned car whose time reported by the hall notifying device 12 is equal to or greater than a threshold (Thres_3) is determined as a hall call for changing the assigned car. This is defined as decision condition 2. The decision condition 2 is for preventing confusion of passengers at the hall.

  If the assigned car immediately notified by the hall notifying device 12 is immediately changed to another car, passengers will be confused at the hall. Therefore, the allocation is not changed for a certain time indicated by the threshold (Thres_3). This fixed time is a time (for example, about 5 to 10 seconds) in consideration of the walking time until the passenger reaches before the landing door notified by the landing notification device 12.

  The review object determination means 26 determines the allocation car to be reviewed based on the determination condition 1, the determination condition 2, or a combination thereof. In addition, even if it corresponds to the decision condition 1 and the decision condition 2, for example, there is no reason for driving (running or opening / closing the door) other than the hall call on the floor, that is, the hall call on the floor A car that is not scheduled to be stopped except when it is no longer an assigned car does not have to be assigned to be reviewed. Even if such a car is stopped on the floor, the transportation efficiency of the entire building does not deteriorate. Rather, if the assigned car is not changed, passengers will not be confused at the landing.

  If there is an allocation car to be reviewed in step ST110, the process proceeds to step ST111. Conversely, if there is no allocation car to be reviewed, for example, if the determination condition 1 or the determination condition 2 is not satisfied, the process proceeds to step ST113. . At this time, if the one-way hall call allocation car satisfies the condition and the other-direction hall call allocation car does not satisfy the condition, the process proceeds to step ST111 for the one-way hall call allocation car, and the other direction The hall call assigned car proceeds to step ST113.

  In step ST111, the review assignment candidate car determination means 27 determines a plurality of hall call reassignment candidate cars to which the assignment car to be reviewed determined by the review object determination means 26 is assigned. For example, the allocation candidate car is determined by the same method as that using both the exclusion condition 1 and the exclusion condition 2 in step ST104. In other words, the assigned car determined as the object to be reviewed by the review object determining means 26 means that there is no passenger who can get on at that time even if it is in the priority direction. Even if the assigned car is changed, May not get on. That is, since it is handled in the same way as a hall call in a non-priority direction, an allocation candidate car is determined by the same method as the method using both the exclusion condition 1 and the exclusion condition 2. In addition, when the allocation car of the hall call in both the upper and lower directions is subject to review, a plurality of allocation candidate cars are determined for the hall call of both the allocation cars.

  If a passenger is detected in front of the landing door of the assigned car in step ST109, the car control means 29 stops the assigned car on the floor and opens the door in step ST112. The passenger gets in the car and presses a car call button for designating the destination floor. Then, the car control means 29 moves the assigned car to the destination floor.

  Although not shown, for example, the car control means 29 starts the movement of the car determined as the assigned car in step ST105 to the floor, or the car stopped on the floor opens the door. Let it open. In step ST108, when the hall call and the assigned car are deleted, the car may be controlled so that the car is not stopped and the door is not opened on the floor.

  In step ST113, the landing passenger detection means 21 detects the presence or absence of a passenger in the elevator hall based on the signal from the landing sensor 11. The detection method is the same as step ST101 and step ST107. If the passenger is present in the hall, the process returns to step ST109. If the passenger is no longer in the hall, the process proceeds to step ST108, and the hall call on the floor and its assigned car are deleted.

  Even if there are no passengers in the elevator hall, the detection operation of passengers in the elevator hall in step ST101 is performed at regular intervals.

  Moreover, the same passenger sensor 11 for detecting the passenger of a board | substrate may be used for the boarding passenger detection means 21 and the passenger detection means 28 in front of a car, and each different hall sensor 11 may be used for it.

  In addition, the notification control means 25 indicates which car is the assigned car, that the assigned car has arrived at the arrival floor, and passengers in front of the landing doors of the assigned car to which the pre-car passenger detection means 28 is scheduled to arrive. The detection may be notified to the passengers at the hall by controlling the hall notification device 12 using different methods, or the presence / absence of a ringing sound or a ringing pattern may be combined with these. Passengers who do not use the elevator at the current time are encouraged by notifying the passengers in front of the landing door of the assigned car that is scheduled to arrive, at least if the passenger does not use the elevator at the current time, promoting the evacuation of passengers from the area to be notified It is possible to prevent wasteful service of the basket. Conversely, when using the elevator, it is possible to make the passenger understand that it is only necessary to wait at the current position. In addition, for example, when the hall notification device 12 is composed of a lamp or a lantern, the assigned car is notified by blinking (low cycle), the arrival of the assigned car is indicated by lighting, and a passenger in front of the landing door is detected. May be notified by a different method, for example, by flashing (high cycle). Alternatively, when the hall notification device 12 is configured by a display, the assigned car is notified in the first color, the arrival of the assigned car is notified in the second color, and the passenger in front of the landing door is detected. You may alert | report by the color of 3 and you may combine blinking, lighting, etc. with these.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, the passenger can perform a specific operation such as pressing the hall call button at the hall, even if the car is not stopped at the floor, regardless of the number of floors to be boarded. There is an effect that it is possible to surely head in the direction of the destination floor using the elevator without performing the operation.
