Description

  The present invention relates to an elevator hall call registration device.

  In times such as work hours when the elevator usage status of the building is crowded, landing calls on each floor frequently occur, and the elevator travels to the destination floor while serving each floor. Depending on the platform, even a small group of one or two people can serve that floor, so the elevator transportation capacity per unit time will decrease and the waiting time at each floor will increase, resulting in a significant increase in convenience for elevator users. You will lose.

  In order to solve such problems, there is a case where transportation capacity is improved by restricting services to floors within a certain range and reducing the number of service floors. As a method of restricting service to the floor within this certain range, a landing operation panel that can register the landing call to the basement at the landing on each floor, an indicator light that displays the registered landing call floor, and whether or not the landing call can be registered There is a known configuration in which an indicator light is installed and when a landing call is registered, floors within a certain range from the registered landing call floor can prevent registration of the landing call by the landing operation panel. (See Patent Document 1). In addition, car calls using the in-car operation panel can be registered on any floor and stop at the floor where registration of the landing call is blocked, so passengers looking at the position indicator at the landing are distrusted by the elevator operation. As an improvement plan for giving a car to a car, a car having a car call of a floor within a certain range is known. reference).

  However, as the conventional landing call registration device described above, in the one shown in Patent Document 1, it is possible to install a landing operation panel capable of registering a landing call and a registration availability indicator for each destination floor button on each floor. There is a problem in that it is difficult to actually introduce a board or a group management device because it is necessary to replace it. In addition, elevator users on floors within a certain range that have been prevented from registering landing calls will be notified before the elevator landing that the elevator cannot be used because the indicator lights that indicate whether landing call registration is off. It can be recognized by doing, but it will be confused as to which floor the elevator can use.

  Furthermore, in Patent Document 2, there is no mention of a means for preventing a decrease in driving efficiency due to the fact that registration of a hall call on a floor where congestion is expected in the building usage situation is prevented, so that driving efficiency is improved. On the contrary, it is counterproductive.

  The object of the present invention is to realize a simplified hardware configuration in order to be realized at a lower cost, and to prevent embarrassment for elevator users on floors within a certain range where registration of landing calls is blocked. The present invention provides an elevator hall call registration device that improves driving efficiency.

  In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a call button for registering a landing call on each floor, and prevents registration of a landing call on a set floor within a certain range adjacent when a landing call on an arbitrary floor is registered. In the elevator hall call registration device configured to do so, a guidance display for guiding the elevator user to another floor where the hall call can be registered is displayed on the set floor within the predetermined range where registration of the hall call is blocked. A guidance guidance display is provided.

  According to such a configuration, it is possible to reduce the cost by a simplified hardware configuration, and in a crowded state, the service of a set floor within a certain range is limited, and an elevator using a guide guidance display By displaying the word that guides you to the floor where you can use the elevator, you can give a sense of security to the elevator users on the set floor within a certain range where registration of the landing call is blocked, and also increase the elevator transportation capacity per unit time It becomes possible.

  In addition to the above-described configuration, the present invention calculates a predicted arrival time for a car to arrive at a floor where a landing call is registered, and compares the predicted arrival time with a preset movement registration time. If the result of the comparison by the time comparison unit is shorter than the predicted arrival time, a cancellation unit for canceling the guidance display on the guidance guidance display and a result of the comparison by the time comparison unit When the time is longer, there is provided a guidance display command section for giving a command for performing guidance display on the guidance guidance indicator.

  According to such a structure, the calculated arrival time is compared with the preset travel registration time, and the user on the floor where the landing call registration is blocked moves to another available floor and Therefore, it is possible to reduce the waiting time of the user who has moved.

  In addition to the above-described configuration, the present invention further includes an effective floor registration unit in which a permanent landing call effective floor is registered in advance, and the constant landing call effective floor registered in advance in the effective floor registration unit in a set floor within the predetermined range. An effective floor determination unit excluded from the inside is provided.

  According to such a configuration, even if a set floor within a certain range is set in advance as adjacent floors, if it is registered as a permanent landing call effective floor, this can be an exception, which is more efficient. Elevator service can be provided.

  According to the elevator hall call registration device according to the present invention, it is possible to reduce the cost by a simplified hardware configuration. In addition, in a crowded state, the service of a set floor within a certain range is limited, and a guidance guidance display is provided. By displaying the words that guide the elevator to the floor where the elevator can be used, the elevator call on the set floor within a certain range where the landing call registration is blocked is given a sense of security, and the elevator per unit time It becomes possible to increase the transport capacity.

It is a schematic diagram explaining the hall call registration state of the hall call button and guidance guidance display of each floor shown in FIG. It is a block block diagram which shows the principal part function of the management apparatus shown in FIG. It is a flowchart which shows the process sequence by the guidance guidance process program by the management apparatus shown in FIG.

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

  FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an elevator hall call registration device according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The management device 2 that manages the operation of the car 1 includes a ROM 3, a PAM 4, a CPU 5 that performs processing based on a guidance guide processing program that will be described in detail later, and interfaces 6 and 7. The ROM 3 includes a guidance guide processing program, which will be described in detail later, and a regular landing call effective floor, which is a floor that makes the permanent landing call valid, taking into account the use status of the building where the elevator is installed and other conditions. The interface 7 of the management device 2, which is registered separately from the landing call adjustment floor, which is a floor that can invalidate the landing call at the time of congestion, is provided at the elevator landing on each floor, respectively, and the landing operation panel 8 A landing call registration device 9 that detects the signal of the landing call button of the car and a guidance guidance display 10 that performs guidance on whether or not to register the landing call and guide guidance are connected. The guidance guidance display 10 includes an upper direction display unit 11 and a lower direction display unit 12. The structure of the elevator hall on each floor is the same, and here, the third floor, the fourth floor, and the fifth floor are shown as representatives.

  In addition, the interface 6 of the management device 2 detects a position of the car 1 in the hoistway of the car 1 and a car call registration device 14 having a destination button installed in the car 1. A cage position detecting device 15 is connected.

  FIG. 2 is a front view showing the vicinity of the elevator hall on the fourth floor.

  The elevator hall on the fourth floor is configured with an elevator hall entrance 16, and in the vicinity of the elevator hall entrance 16, a hall call button 17 for registering a downward hall call and a hall call button for registering an upper hall call. In addition to the hall operating panel 8 having 18, a guidance guide indicator 10 having an upper direction display unit 11 and a lower direction display unit 12 is installed. In the vicinity of the entrance / exit 19 such as an office on the same fourth floor, another guidance guidance display 22 having an upper direction display unit 11 and a lower direction display unit 12 having substantially the same configuration as the guidance guidance display unit 10 is installed. .

  FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram for explaining a landing call registration state.

  In the figure, the hall call buttons 17 and 18 on each floor from the 1st floor to the 8th floor, and the upward direction display part 11 and the downward direction display part 12 are displayed together, and white like the hall call buttons 17G and 18G. The open triangle is the state where the landing call registration is possible, the dotted triangle like the landing call button 18E is the state where the landing call registration is not possible, and the black triangle like the landing call button 18D is the state where the landing call registration is being performed, upward White squares and circles are turned off as in the display portion 11G and the lower display portion 12G, and black squares or circles are turned on as in the upper display portions 11C and 11E.

  In the same figure, the upward landing call button 18D on the fourth floor is pressed and is currently registered. In response to this registration, the upward landing call buttons 18C and 18E on the third and fifth floors adjacent to each other are on the upper and lower floors adjacent to the fourth floor and in the same direction as the landing calls registered on the fourth floor. Therefore, registration of the hall call in the upward direction is blocked and registration is impossible.

  Further, the up direction display unit 11D and the down direction display unit 12D that perform guidance guidance for displaying whether or not landing call registration is possible on the same fourth floor indicate that they are off and can be registered. On the other hand, the upper direction display units 11C and 11E on the upper and lower floors 3C and 11E are in a lit state to notify that registration of an upward landing call is blocked, and walk to the adjacent floors. The guidance word prompting to move is displayed.

  As can be seen from this explanation, when the floor where the landing call is registered is “n floor”, “n + 1 floor” and “n−1 floor” which are adjacent floors in the vertical direction are registered as set floors within a certain range. In the “n + 1 floor” and “n−1 floor”, which are set floors within this fixed range, registration of landing calls in the same direction is blocked and the registration is disabled. Or it is made to notify an elevator user by the downward direction display part 12. FIG.

  FIG. 4 is a block configuration diagram illustrating main functions of the management apparatus 2 described above.

  The CPU 5 receives a landing call registration signal from the landing call registration device 9 and determines whether the “n-th floor” landing call has been registered, and makes the permanent landing call valid. By a valid floor registration unit 25 for registering in advance in the storage unit 24 a landing call effective floor as a floor to be used and a landing call adjustment floor as a floor capable of invalidating the landing call at the time of congestion. When the determination is made, the effective floor registration unit 25 stores in advance the storage floor 24 from the set floor within a certain range set for the registration floor, that is, the “n + 1 floor” and “n−1 floor” adjacent in the vertical direction. The effective floor determination unit 26 excluding the floor registered as the permanent landing call effective floor and the predicted arrival time when the car 1 arrives at the registration floor when the registration determination unit 23 determines. At the same time, if the estimated time of arrival is longer as a result of the comparison by the time comparison unit 27 and the time comparison unit compared with the preset movement registration time, a command to perform guidance display on the guidance guidance display 10 The guidance display command unit 28 for giving the information, the cancellation unit 29 for canceling the guidance display when the estimated arrival time is shorter as a result of the comparison by the time comparison unit 27, the control unit 30 for controlling these units, etc. Has been.

  FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing a processing procedure by the guide guidance processing program in the management apparatus 2 described above.

  Here, “n floor” in FIG. 4 indicates the floor where the landing call is registered. In the description below, it is assumed that “n + 1 floor” and “n−1 floor” which are adjacent floors in the vertical direction are registered in the storage unit 24 in advance as set floors within a certain range.

  When the “n-th floor” hall call button 18 is operated, the hall call registration device 9 detects this and notifies the management device 2 of it. At this time, the CPU 5 executes the process every time a landing call on each floor is registered according to the guidance processing program. First, the registration determination unit 23 determines whether or not the “n-th floor” landing call is registered (step S1). When the “n-th floor” landing call is registered, the effective floor determination unit 26 determines whether or not a certain range is reached. It is determined whether or not “n + 1 floor” or “n−1 floor” preset as the preset floor is preset as a permanent landing call effective floor (step S2).

  In step S2, the effective floor determination unit 26 individually determines “n + 1 floor” or “n−1 floor”, and if it is set as a permanent landing call effective floor, the registration of the landing call is validated as it is (step S21). S5).

  On the other hand, when “n + 1 floor” or “n−1 floor” is set in advance as a landing call adjustment floor instead of a permanent landing call effective floor, the time comparison unit 27 uses the car position detector 15 shown in FIG. The predicted arrival time to the “n-th floor” is calculated from the position, the number of car calls by the car call registration device 14 and the number of landing calls by the hall call registration device 9, and compared with the movement registration time preset in the ROM 3 (step S3).

  The movement registration time in step S3 described above refers to the upper display unit 11 or the lower display unit 12 of the guidance guidance display 10 when there is a user on the “n + 1 floor” or “n−1 floor”. , Knowing that landing call registration is not possible on the floor concerned, we will move to a floor where landing call registration is possible using another moving means such as stairs, but this movement was possible and moved The time required for getting on the floor is set in advance.

  As a result of the comparison in step S3, if the estimated arrival time is longer, the guidance display display command unit 28 invalidates the landing call registration as the floor where the condition “n + 1 floor” or “n−1 floor” is satisfied, and simultaneously upwards The display unit 11 or the downward display unit 12 is turned on (step S4). At this time, the upward direction display unit 11 or the downward direction display unit 12 displays a guidance message prompting the user to move to an adjacent floor on foot.

  On the other hand, if the movement comparison time is longer than the estimated arrival time as a result of the comparison by the time comparison unit 27 in step S3, the process proceeds to step S5, and the cancellation unit 29 satisfies the condition “n + 1 floor” or “n−1 floor”. Cancel the process as a floor that did not. Accordingly, the landing call registration is valid at the “n + 1 floor” or “n−1 floor”, and at the same time, the guidance display 10 is turned off (step S5).

  According to such a guidance guidance processing program, in a crowded state, a floor where the service of a set floor within a certain range is restricted, the upper display section 11 or the lower display section 12 is turned on, and the elevator can be used. It is possible to give a sense of security to elevator users on a set floor within a certain range where landing call registration is blocked, and to increase the elevator transportation capacity per unit time Become.

  In addition, the division between the regular landing call effective floor that is a floor that makes the permanent landing call valid and the landing call adjustment floor that has been registered in advance as a floor that can be invalidated at the time of congestion, is for each time zone division, It may be set for each movement direction of the car 1. The set floor within a certain range can be set not only in the adjacent floor in the vertical direction. Furthermore, although the guidance information display 10 having the upper direction display unit 11 and the lower direction display unit 12 is installed at all the landings, the installation on the regular landing call effective floor is omitted or other different structures are provided. It can also be set as the guidance guidance display 10.

  As described above, according to the present invention, the call button 8 for registering a landing call is installed on each floor, and when a landing call on an arbitrary floor is registered, registration of a landing call on a set floor within a certain range adjacent thereto is prevented. In the elevator hall call registration device configured as described above, a guidance display for guiding the elevator user to another floor where the hall call can be registered is displayed on the set floor within the predetermined range where registration of the hall call is blocked. A guide guidance display 10 is provided.

  According to such a configuration, it is possible to reduce the cost by a simplified hardware configuration, and in a crowded state, the service of the set floor within a certain range is limited, and the guidance guidance display 10 is used. By displaying the word that guides you to the floor where you can use the elevator, you can feel safe for the elevator users on the set floor within a certain range where registration for landing call was blocked, and also increase the elevator transportation capacity per unit time It becomes possible to make it.

  In addition to the above-described configuration, the present invention calculates a predicted arrival time for a car to arrive at a floor where a landing call is registered, and compares the predicted arrival time with a preset movement registration time. 27, if the estimated time of arrival is shorter as a result of the comparison by the time comparison unit 27, the cancellation unit 29 for canceling the guidance display on the guide guidance display 10 and the comparison by the time comparison unit 27 As a result, when the estimated arrival time is longer, there is provided a guidance display command unit 28 for giving a command to perform guidance display on the guidance guidance indicator 10.

  According to such a structure, the calculated arrival time is compared with the preset travel registration time, and the user on the floor where the landing call registration is blocked moves to another available floor and Therefore, it is possible to reduce the waiting time of the user who has moved.

  In addition to the above-described configuration, the present invention further includes an effective floor registration unit 25 in which a permanent landing call effective floor is registered in advance, and the constant landing call effective floor registered in advance in the effective floor registration unit 25 is set within the predetermined range. An effective floor determination unit 26 that is excluded from the floor is provided.

  According to such a configuration, even if a set floor within a certain range is set in advance as adjacent floors, if it is registered as a permanent landing call effective floor, this can be an exception, which is more efficient. Elevator service can be provided.
