  The present invention relates to an elevator control system for switching an elevator to a power saving mode, and an elevator control method, and more particularly to a technique for reducing power consumption by dimming or turning off illumination on an operation panel. .

  2. Description of the Related Art Generally, an elevator control device that realizes a power saving mode function by shutting off a power source of an elevator operation panel in accordance with an elevator operation demand is known. In this elevator control device, when the elevator operation panel has not been operated for a preset time, the power is cut off and the mode is shifted to the power saving mode.

  However, even when the elevator usage frequency is low, which can be assumed by the building, if the preset time does not elapse, the transition to the power saving mode is not performed, and time for wasteful power consumption occurs. In order to solve such problems, the time measuring means for measuring time, the input means capable of inputting the time zone corresponding to the power saving mode, and the time zone corresponding to the power saving mode input by the input means are changed. It is conceivable to apply an electronic device having possible change means (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

  In the electronic device disclosed in Patent Document 1, when entering a time zone corresponding to the power saving mode input by the input means, the electronic device is shifted to the power saving mode in which the lighting of the operation panel of the elevator is turned off or turned off. . Further, the electronic device changes the time zone corresponding to the power saving mode, which is input by the input unit, according to the usage history of the electronic device.

  A plurality of operation panels 10 that can be called and registered by the user are provided on the wall of the hall 1. Here, the operation panel 10 refers to a hall operation panel. The operation panel 10 is provided between the cars 2 adjacent to each other. That is, the A operation panel 10a is arranged between the A machine 2a and the B machine 2b, and the B operation panel 10b is arranged between the B machine 2b and the C machine 2c. Therefore, in this example, two operation panels 10 are provided on one floor.

  Moreover, in FIG. 1, tenant A is provided on the side close to Unit A 10a, and tenant B is provided on the side close to Unit C 10c.

  FIG. 2 is a configuration diagram specifically showing the internal configuration of the operation panels 10a and 10b of FIG. 1 in the elevator control system. In the elevator control system, a plurality of car control devices 4 provided on each of the cars 2 and a plurality of operation panels 10 provided on each floor are connected to a group management device 3 that manages the operation of the entire elevator. It has been configured. In addition, regarding the operation panel 10, FIG. 2 illustrates the A operation panel 10a and the B operation panel 10b in one floor, and the illustration of the operation panels 10 in the other floors is omitted.

  The group management device 3 has an assigned machine determining unit 3a that determines the allocation of the cars 2a to 2c to be allocated to each floor according to the destination registration performed by the user from the operation panel 10 and the in-car operation panel (not shown). doing. The assigned car determining unit 3a determines the car number of the car 2 to be dispatched to the floor where the destination registration has been performed, and sends the determined information to the corresponding car control device 4 as dispatch information. At the same time, dispatch information is also sent to the corresponding operation panel 10 on the floor.

  The car control device 4 has a car control unit 4a that moves the car 2 to the assigned floor based on the allocation information received from the assigned car determining part 3a. The number machine control unit 4a moves the car 2 to the destination floor registered for call according to the dispatch information.

  The operation panel 10 includes a call registration unit 20 and a control S / W unit (control software unit) 30. In the first embodiment, the A operation panel 10a includes an A control S / W unit 30a having a configuration for performing a scheduling process for power saving as described later. On the other hand, the B operation panel 10b has a B control S / W unit 30b having a configuration that diverts the scheduling process executed by the A operation panel 10a. That is, the A control panel 10a functions as a master, and the B control panel 10b functions as a slave.

  FIG. 3 is an enlarged view showing the call registration unit 20 of FIG. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the call registration unit 20 includes an operation button 21 and a display unit 22. The operation button 21 is a numeric keypad button that allows the user to directly input the destination floor. The operation button 21 is not limited to the numeric keypad button, and may be an up / down button that allows the user to select an upper or lower direction in which the user wants to go from the current usage floor. The operation button 21 may be a touch panel type button.

  The display unit 22 displays information related to elevator operation. For example, when the user operates the operation button 21 and presses the number on the destination floor, the display unit 22 displays the number on the destination floor pressed by the user for a predetermined desired time. When the destination registration is completed and the car number of the car 2 to be dispatched is determined, the display unit 22 displays the name of the car to be dispatched. Furthermore, the display unit 22 can also display a car position, which is information on which floor the car 2 is currently moving. The display unit 22 may include a hall lantern provided in the hall 1.

  Here, the elevator control system according to the first embodiment switches to the power saving mode in order to shift the lighting display of the operation panel 10 to the power saving mode in accordance with the elevator operation demand, that is, the number of elevators used. Schedule the transition time of Here, the power saving mode is to switch the display of the operation button 21 and the display unit 22 of the operation panel 10 from the lighting state to the dimming state or the extinguishing state. In the first embodiment, the control S / W unit 30 performs scheduling of the transition time to the power saving mode.

  Further, the scheduling of the transition time to the power saving mode is collectively performed by the control S / W unit 30 of any one of the master operation panels 10 among the operation panels 10 provided on each floor. Therefore, the control S / W unit 30 has different internal configurations between the master operation panel 10 that schedules the transition time to the power saving mode and the slave operation panel 10 that does not schedule the transition time to the power saving mode. ing. In the example shown in FIG. 2, the master control panel 10 is an A operation panel 10a, and the slave control panel 10 is a B operation panel 10b. Therefore, hereinafter, the control S / W unit 30 provided on the A operation panel 10a is referred to as an A control S / W unit 30a, and the control S / W unit 30 provided on the B operation panel 10b is referred to as a B control S / W unit 30b. Will be described.

  The A control S / W unit 30a includes an input analysis unit (input information control unit) 40a, a timing unit 50a, a history analysis unit 60, a communication unit 70a, and a display management unit 80a. On the other hand, the B control S / W unit 30b includes an input analysis unit 40b, a communication unit 70b, and a display management unit 80b. Here, the A control S / W unit 30a that is a master further includes a time measuring unit 50a and a history analysis unit 60, and the internal configuration of the display management unit 80a is compared to the B control S / W unit 30b that is a slave. This is different from the internal configuration of the display management unit 80b.

  When the operation button 21 of the operation panel 10 is operated by the user, the input analysis unit 40a analyzes the destination floor based on the operated content. The input analysis unit 40a sends the analyzed destination floor to the group management apparatus 3 and the display management unit 80a as destination registration information. In addition, in FIG. 2, the relationship between the input analysis part 40a and the group management apparatus 3 is not illustrated.

  At the same time, the input analysis unit 40a acquires time information of timing when the operation button 21 is operated from the time measuring unit 50a. Here, the time measuring unit 50a measures the current time. The input analysis unit 40a generates history first information in which destination registration information, time information regarding the current time when the operation button 21 is operated, and dispatch information determined by the group management device 3 according to the destination registration information are associated. To the history analysis unit 60.

  On the other hand, the input analysis unit 40b analyzes the destination floor based on the operation content of the B operation panel 10b, similarly to the input analysis unit 40a. Then, the analyzed destination registration information is sent to the group management device 3 and the display management unit 80b, and is sent from the communication unit 70b to the input analysis unit 40a through the communication unit 70a. In FIG. 2, the relationship between the communication unit 70a and the input analysis unit 40a is not shown.

  At this time, the input analysis unit 40a acquires time information from the time measuring unit 50a, and the group management device 3 according to the destination registration information analyzed by the input analysis unit 40b, the time information corresponding to the destination registration information, and the destination registration information. The history first information associated with the vehicle allocation information determined in (1) is generated and sent to the history analysis unit 60.

  The history analysis unit 60 includes a storage unit 61, a totaling unit 62, a history storage unit 63, a scheduling unit 64, and a schedule storage unit 65.

  The storage unit 61 stores the history first information generated by the input analysis unit 40a for each hall operation panel on each floor for a predetermined time. That is, the input analysis unit 40a stores the generated history first information in the storage unit 61 as individual history first information distinguished by the corresponding floor and operation panel, thereby sequentially updating the data. Yes. Here, the fixed time differs depending on the amount of memory used for the storage unit 61, but the history first information for a desired time (for example, 24 × 7 = 168 hours corresponding to 7 days) is reliably stored. Time to be mentioned.

  An example of the history first information stored in the storage unit 61 will be described with reference to FIGS. 4 and 5. FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating an example of a behavior of a user of a building. As shown in FIG. 4, X1 to X6 are user behaviors in a general attendance time zone. For example, X1 is an example in which employee A of tenant A on the 3rd floor comes to work, operates the A operation panel 10a on the 1st floor, sets the destination to 3F, and is assigned the A machine 2a.

  Y1 to Y6 are user actions during a general return time period. For example, Y1 is an example in which employee A of tenant A on the third floor operates the A operation panel 10a on the third floor to return home, sets the destination to 1F, and is assigned the No. A machine 2a.

  Y3 and Y4 indicate that the behavior of the employee B of the tenant B on the 3rd floor is not only the return home in a general return home time zone. Specifically, Y3 is an example in which the employee B operates the B operation panel 10b on the 3F to move to another floor 5F, sets the destination to 5F, and is assigned the C machine 2c. Y4 is an example in which employee B operates the B operation panel 10b on 5F to move to the floor of his tenant after Y3, sets the destination to 3F, and is assigned the No. C machine 2c. Y5 is an example in which employee B operates the B operation panel 10b on 3F to return home after Y4, sets the destination to 1F, and is assigned the No. C machine 2c.

  FIG. 5 is a table showing an example in which the behavior of FIG. 4 is stored in the storage unit 61 as history first information. The input analysis unit 40a generates history first information corresponding to the user's actions as indicated by X1 to X6 and Y1 to Y6, and divides it into each floor and each operation panel as shown in FIG. And stored in the storage unit 61.

  As an example, No. 1 in FIG. 5 corresponding to X1 in FIG. 1 will be described. The date and time “2014/4/11 07:20:05” shown in FIG. 4 is stored as “20140411072005” as shown in FIG. Further, the destination floor is “3” and the assigned number is stored as “A” in the history first information of the landing operation panel A on the first floor.

  Next, the totaling unit 62 illustrated in FIG. 2 acquires the history first information illustrated in FIG. 5 stored in the storage unit 61 for each desired time. Here, the desired time is determined by the time during which the storage unit 61 can store the history first information. For example, when the storage time of the storage unit 61 is set to 168 hours (for 7 days), the desired time is set to midnight, for example. At the set time, the totaling unit 62 can total the average number of usages in each usage time period for the past seven days based on the history first information. The tabulation unit 62 stores the tabulated result in the history storage unit 63 as history second information.

  The history storage unit 63 stores the history second information for a preset number of times. Here, the preset number of times is the number of times determined at the time of design, and corresponds to, for example, seven times that is the latest seven days. Then, the counting unit 62 sequentially updates the history second information stored in the history storage unit 63 as data for the latest seven days.

  FIG. 6 is a table showing data for one day of history second information stored in the history storage unit 63. The totaling unit 62 can also calculate the total number of usages with respect to the usage time as a cumulative value or an average value for the past several days set in advance, and store it in the history storage unit 63. Moreover, the totaling unit 62 totals the history first information for the past seven days into one, but may total the average number of usages for each day of the week. At this time, the history storage unit 63 stores the latest number of times set in advance for each day of the week.

  Moreover, in the example shown in FIG. 6, the totaling unit 62 totals the number of usages in units of one minute of usage time. In addition, the interval of use time is not restricted to this, You may total for every time slot | zone like a work time slot | zone, a lunch break time slot | zone, and a return time slot | zone for every several minutes.

  FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing a series of operations performed by the counting unit 62. As illustrated in FIG. 7, the totaling unit 62 periodically acquires the history first information stored in the storage unit 61 for each desired time (step S101).

  Next, the totaling unit 62 generates history second information based on the history first information acquired in step S101 (step S102).

  Then, the totaling unit 62 sequentially updates the history second information for a predetermined number of days (for example, 7 days) stored in the history storage unit 63 based on the history second information generated in step S102. (Step S103, first step). As a result, the history storage unit 63 stores the latest data relating to a predetermined number of days.

  Next, the scheduling unit 64 illustrated in FIG. 2 determines a characteristic time zone from the history second information stored in the history storage unit 63, and schedules the transition time to the power saving mode. Here, the characteristic time zone is, for example, a time zone in which the elevator is used at the beginning of the day, a time zone in which the elevator is used at the end of the day, and the elevator is continuously used for a certain time or more. For example, a time zone, a time zone during which the elevator is not used for a certain period of time, or the like.

  The scheduling unit 64 acquires the latest history second information from the history storage unit 63 and starts scheduling. In the first embodiment, it is considered that the scheduling by the scheduling unit 64 is started after the counting by the counting unit 62 and the update of the history second information are performed at midnight when it is assumed that there is no user. The scheduling unit 64 can also start scheduling at the time determined at the time of design by reading the current time from the time measuring unit 50a.

  When acquiring the history second information from the history storage unit 63, the scheduling unit 64 first calculates characteristic times including a quiet time zone and a busy time zone. The characteristic time is determined based on a plurality of threshold values stored in advance in a storage unit (not shown) of the scheduling unit 64 and the history second information. Thereafter, the scheduling unit 64 schedules the transition time to the power saving mode according to the characteristic time.

  FIG. 8 is a diagram for explaining a technique for determining a characteristic time using the history second information and a plurality of threshold values by the scheduling unit 64. Specifically, the horizontal axis represents time, the vertical axis represents the number of usages, the history second information is represented as a line graph, and the principle for calculating the characteristic time using the first threshold value and the second threshold value is described. FIG. As shown in FIG. 8, two threshold values are set in the scheduling unit 64. In this example, the scheduling unit 64 calculates a time zone (reference time zone area) included in the range in which the number of usages is greater than or equal to the first threshold and less than or equal to the second threshold as a reference time zone, The time zone included in is determined as a quiet time zone, and the time zone in which the number of usages is larger than the second threshold is determined as the congestion time zone.

  For example, in FIG. 8, since the number of usages exceeds the second threshold in the time period from time G to H, the scheduling unit 64 determines this time period as a congestion time period. On the other hand, since the number of usages is less than the first threshold in the time period from time I to L, the scheduling unit 64 determines this time period as a quiet time period.

  The storage unit of the scheduling unit 64 stores a first set time, which is a transition time to the power saving mode in the reference time zone. Based on this, the scheduling unit 64 determines the transition time to the power saving mode to the second set time shorter than the first set time in the quiet time zone where the number of usages is less than the first threshold. On the other hand, the scheduling unit 64 determines the transition time to the power saving mode to the third set time longer than the first set time in the congestion time zone where the number of usages is larger than the second threshold.

  The second set time and the third set time are stored in the storage unit, or a predetermined increase / decrease amount is stored in the storage unit, and is calculated by addition / subtraction with the first set time. You can also.

  Further, the portions surrounded by C and D in FIG. 8 indicate a time zone in which a time period in which the number of usages is 0 continues for a certain time or more to a time zone in which the number of usages is not 0. That is, the part surrounded by C and D is the time when the slope of the graph becomes steep from the state where the number of users is 0, and it is considered that it switches from the quiet time zone to the busy time zone through the reference time zone. It is time zone to be.

  Therefore, the scheduling unit 64 prepares for a time period in which the number of users increases from the state in which the number of users is zero, and is expected to change from a quiet time period to a reference time period to a busy time period. Before, it is decided to cancel the power saving mode of display. At this time, the display of the call operation unit 20 is turned on by the display management unit 80a. Here, the fixed time ago is a time determined at the time of design.

  For example, in FIG. 8, time F and time K are times when switching from a quiet time zone to a reference time zone → a busy time zone. Therefore, the time when the display power saving mode is canceled is time E before a certain time before time F and time J before a certain time before time K.

  That is, the scheduling unit 64 predicts the elevator operation demand from the time transition of the past number of usages in the history second information, and determines the transition time to the power saving mode and the release time of the power saving mode according to the prediction result. doing.

  FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing the scheduling of the transition time to the power saving mode executed by the scheduling unit 64. As shown in FIG. 9, the scheduling unit 64 acquires the current time from the time measuring unit 50a, and checks whether it is time to perform scheduling (step S201).

  If it is confirmed in step S201 that it is time to perform scheduling, the scheduling unit 64 acquires the history second information from the history storage unit 63 (step S202). The scheduling unit 64 first detects a time zone that is expected to increase in the future from the state where the number of usage is 0 based on the history second information (corresponding to C and D in FIG. 8 above).

  And the scheduling part 64 will detect the time (equivalent to F, K of previous FIG. 8) when the number of use will become zero in those time zones, if the time zone where the number of use is estimated in the future is detected. . Furthermore, the scheduling unit 64 determines a time (corresponding to E and J in FIG. 8) a certain time before the time when the number of usage is not 0 as the time for canceling the power saving mode (step S203).

  Next, the scheduling unit 64 performs comparison processing using the first threshold and the second threshold on the time transition of the number of usages based on the history second information, so that the quiet time zone, the reference time zone, A congestion time zone is determined (step S204, second step).

  Further, the scheduling unit 64 determines a first set time corresponding to the reference time zone, a second set time corresponding to the quiet time zone, and a third set time corresponding to the busy time zone (step S205, third time). Step).

  As described above, the scheduling unit 64 identifies the future operation time zone as the reference time zone, the quiet time zone, and the crowded time zone based on the history second information corresponding to the past performance data. The first set time to the third set time that specify the transition time for switching to the power saving mode are specified corresponding to each time zone. Furthermore, the time for canceling the power saving mode is also specified in advance.

  Then, the scheduling unit 64 schedules information for specifying a time zone for setting any one of the first set time to the third set time and information about the time for releasing the power saving mode in advance as schedule information. Store in the unit 65. That is, the scheduling unit 64 updates the data stored in the schedule storage unit 65 with the scheduling information created based on the latest history second information.

  Returning to the description of FIG. 2, the display management unit 80a has a transition time control unit 81a, an automatic lighting control unit 82a, and a display control unit 83a.

  When the transition time control unit 81a detects that the operation button 21 is operated, the transition time control unit 81a acquires the current time when the operation button 21 is operated from the time measuring unit 50a. And the transition time control part 81a takes out the transition time for switching to a power saving mode corresponding to the present time from the scheduling data memorize | stored in the schedule memory | storage part 65, and is 1st setting time-3rd installation time Either of the above is set as the transition time.

  Furthermore, the transition time control unit 81a starts counting elapsed time from the timing when the operation button 21 is operated. Specifically, the transition time control unit 81a counts the elapsed time by acquiring the current time from the time measuring unit 50a. When the elapsed time being counted reaches the set transition time, the transition time control unit 81a generates time lapse information indicating that the transition time to the power saving mode has elapsed, and the display control unit 83a Send to.

  Here, when the transition time control unit 81a detects that the operation button 21 is newly operated during the time counting, the transition time control unit 81a sets the transition time corresponding to the current time again, The elapsed time count is reset, and the elapsed time count is started again.

  In addition, when the transition time control unit 81a shifts the call registration unit 20 of the B control panel 10b to the power saving mode, the transition time control unit 81a sends time to the display control unit 83b in the display management unit 80b through the communication unit 70b. Send progress information.

  When the display control unit 83a receives the time-lapse information, the display control unit 83a performs control for dimming or turning off the display on the call operation panel 20.

  On the other hand, the automatic lighting control unit 82a always obtains the current time from the time measuring unit 50a, and simultaneously reads the latest data stored in the schedule storage unit 65 relating to the time to cancel the power saving mode in advance. Then, when the current lighting time reaches the time for canceling the power saving mode in advance, the automatic lighting control unit 82a notifies the display control unit 83a that it is time to cancel the power saving mode. Send information.

  In addition, the automatic lighting control unit 82a may change the communication unit 70a to the communication unit when the call registration unit 20 of the B control panel 10b is turned on because the current time has reached the time to cancel the power saving mode in advance. The power saving mode cancellation information is transmitted to the display control unit 83b in the display management unit 80b through 70b.

  When the display control unit 83a receives the power saving mode cancellation information, if the display of the call operation unit 20 is in the power saving mode, the display control unit 83a cancels the power saving mode and turns on the display of the call operation unit 20. Take control.

  On the other hand, the display management unit 80b has only the display control unit 83b. The display control unit 83b performs the same operation as the display control unit 83a. That is, when the time management information is received from the communication unit 70a through the communication unit 70b, the display management unit 80b performs control for dimming or turning off the display on the call operation panel 20. When the display management unit 80b receives the power saving mode release information from the communication unit 70a through the communication unit 70b, the display management unit 80b cancels the power saving mode when the display of the call operation unit 20 is in the power saving mode. Then, control for turning on the display of the call operation unit 20 is performed.

  Further, when the display control unit 83a detects that the operation button 21 has been operated from the input analysis unit 40a, the display control unit 83a performs control to turn on the display of the call operation unit 20. Similarly, when the display control unit 83b detects that the operation button 21 is operated from the input analysis unit 40b, the display control unit 83b performs control to turn on the display of the call operation unit 20.

  As described above, the display control unit 83a and the display control unit 83b perform control to individually turn on the display of the call operation unit 20 when the operation button 21 of each control panel 10 is operated. However, the display control unit 83a and the display control unit 83b may perform control to turn on the display of the call operation unit 20 via the communication units 70a and 70b.

  For example, when all the displays of the call operation unit 20 on one floor are in the power saving mode, when any one of the operation buttons 21 is operated, information on the operation button 21 is displayed as a communication unit. It is also sent to any of the display control units 83a and 83b that are not operated via 70a and 70b. At this time, the display control unit 83a and the display control unit 83b perform control to turn on the display of the corresponding call operation unit 20. Thereby, the user can confirm the position of the other call registration unit 20 and can also operate the operation button 21.

  Next, the control operation of the control S / W unit 30a of the A operation panel 10a in the first embodiment will be described. 10A and 10B are flowcharts showing the control operation of the A control S / W unit 30a of the A operation panel 10a in the first embodiment of the present invention. 10A and 10B show one flowchart divided into two drawings, followed by 1 part shown in FIG. 10A and 1 part shown in FIG. 10B.

  As shown in FIG. 10, first, the input analysis unit 40a detects whether or not the operation button 21 has been operated (step S301). In step S301, when the input analysis unit 40a does not detect that the operation button 21 has been operated, the process proceeds to step S307 described later.

  On the other hand, when detecting that the operation button 21 is operated in step S301, the input analysis unit 40a analyzes the operated destination registration information (step S302). Next, the input analysis unit 40a acquires time information related to the current time when the operation button 21 is operated from the time measuring unit 50a (step S303).

  Furthermore, the input analysis unit 40a stores history first information that associates destination registration information, time information about the current time when the operation button 21 is operated, and dispatch information determined by the group management device 3 according to the destination registration information. It is generated and stored in the storage unit 61 (step S304).

  Next, the totaling unit 62 totals the number of usages for the usage time based on the history first information stored in the storage unit 61 in step S304 (step S305). Information on the number of usages with respect to the aggregated usage times is stored in the history storage unit 63 as the history second information for the determined number of days.

  Next, the scheduling unit 64 performs scheduling based on the history second information, information for specifying a time zone for setting any one of the first set time to the third set time, and the power saving mode in advance. Scheduling information consisting of information related to the time for canceling is stored in the schedule storage unit 65 (step S306).

  Thereafter, the transition time control unit 81a sets the elapsed time since the operation button 21 was operated as the transition time to the power saving mode (any one of the first set time to the third set time). It is detected whether or not (time) has been reached (step S307, fourth step).

  When it is confirmed in step S307 that the transition time has not elapsed, the display control unit 83a performs control to maintain the lighting state of the display (step S308, fifth step). On the other hand, when it is confirmed in step S307 that the transition time has elapsed, the display control unit 83a performs control for setting the display state to the dimming state or the extinguishing state as the power saving mode (step S309).

  Next, the automatic lighting control unit 82a reads the latest data stored in the schedule storage unit 65 relating to the time to cancel the power saving mode in advance, and compares it with the current time acquired from the time measuring unit 50a (step S310). When the automatic lighting control unit 82a determines that the current time has reached the time to cancel the power saving mode in advance, the automatic lighting control unit 82a notifies the display control unit 83a that it is time to cancel the power saving mode. The power saving mode release information is transmitted to (step S311). Then, the display control unit 83a that has received the power saving mode release information switches the display to the lighting state in advance because the number of users is estimated to increase in the future, and ends the series of processes (step S312).

  As described above, the elevator control system according to the first embodiment includes a configuration for performing a scheduling process for determining the transition time to the power saving mode based on the time transition of the number of times of use of the operation button based on the past results. . With such a configuration, it is possible to appropriately set the time for shifting to the power saving mode so as to correspond to the latest usage history. As a result, the energy saving effect can be enhanced as compared with the conventional case.

  Further, the display of the call registration unit is not shifted to the power saving mode until the transition time to the power saving mode elapses from the timing when the operation button is operated. By providing such a configuration, it is possible to prevent switching to the power saving mode despite the presence of a user. As a result, it is possible to prevent deterioration in convenience.

  Furthermore, the usage history has a configuration that can be updated with the latest data. Thereby, it is possible to more accurately control the lighting state, the dimming state, and the extinguishing state in accordance with the current usage state.

Embodiment 2. FIG.
In the first embodiment, based on the past operation history of the operation buttons, the time for releasing the power saving mode is determined, and the display power saving mode is released. However, the process of moving the car 2 is not performed until the call registration is performed by the user. On the other hand, in the second embodiment, at the timing of releasing the display power saving mode, the elevator can perform call registration of the car 2 on the congested floor and move the car to the congested floor in advance. The control system will be described.

  FIG. 11 is a configuration diagram specifically showing the internal configuration of operation panel 10 in the elevator control system according to Embodiment 2 of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 11, each of A control S / W unit 30a and B control S / W unit 30b further includes an assigned number machine registration unit 90 in addition to the configuration of the first embodiment. Other configurations are the same as those of the first embodiment.

  As described in the first embodiment, the automatic lighting control unit 82a determines the time for canceling the power saving mode in advance based on the usage record of the operation buttons, and cancels the display power saving mode. . Furthermore, the automatic lighting control unit 82a in the second embodiment transmits the power saving mode release information to the display control unit 83a and also to the assigned number registration unit 90 when releasing the power saving mode.

  When the assigned machine registration unit 90 receives the power saving mode release information from the automatic lighting control unit 82a, the assigned machine registration unit 90 performs call registration with the county management device 3. When the assigned machine determining unit 3a of the county management device 3 receives the power saving mode release information, the assigned machine determining unit 3a receives the power saving mode release information from the floor on which the operation panel 10 on which the assigned machine registration unit 90 that performs call registration is installed is installed. Decide to dispatch the car 2 closest to the floor.

  Next, the control operation of the A control S / W unit 30a of the A operation panel 10a in the first embodiment of the present invention will be described using the flowcharts of FIGS. 12A and 12B. 12A and 12B are flowcharts showing the control operation of the control S / W unit 30a of the A operation panel 10a in the second embodiment of the present invention.

  Note that FIGS. 12A and 12B show one flow chart divided into two drawings, followed by 1 part shown in FIG. 12A and 1 part shown in FIG. 12B. Steps S301 to S312 in FIG. 12A are the same as steps S301 to S312 in FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 12B, the assigned number machine registration unit 90 determines whether or not the power saving mode release information is received from the automatic lighting control unit 82a (step S401). If it is determined in step S401 that the power saving mode cancellation information has been received, the assigned machine registration unit 90 performs call registration in the group management device 3 (step S402). As a result, the car closest to the floor can be dispatched to the floor that is expected to reach a busy hour.

  As described above, the elevator control system according to the second embodiment includes a configuration for performing call registration at the timing of canceling the power saving mode. By providing such a configuration, it becomes possible to dispatch a car in advance to a floor with many users based on past usage results. As a result, the elevator can be operated more efficiently and the convenience for the user can be further improved.

Embodiment 3 FIG.
In the first and second embodiments, the user who operates the operation button 21 cannot be specified. Therefore, it cannot be determined whether or not the user who operates the operation button is a person who uses the elevator only on the day. As a result, the history first information includes user data only for the current day, which is not suitable as the performance data. Therefore, in the third embodiment, it is identified that the user who operates the operation button 21 is not the user who used only the current day but is normally using it, and the history first information suitable for the performance data is identified. A case where generation is possible will be described.

  In the third embodiment, it is assumed that an ID in which personal identification information (ID information) is input is given in advance to a user in a building. FIG. 13 is a configuration diagram specifically showing the internal configuration of operation panel 10 in the elevator operating system according to Embodiment 3 of the present invention.

  As shown in FIG. 13, the call registration unit 20 further includes an ID reading device 100 in addition to the configuration of the first embodiment. Each of the A control S / W 30a and the B control S / W unit 30b further includes an ID reading unit 101 in addition to the configuration of the first embodiment. Other configurations are the same as those of the first embodiment.

  Examples of the ID reading device 100 include a device that allows a user to whom an ID is assigned to read the ID by bringing the ID card close to the ID reading device, or a device that can read the ID by inserting the ID card. It is done. A user having an ID card registers the destination floor after having the ID reader 100 read the ID when using the elevator.

  At this time, as the operation button 21, a button that cannot be operated when an ID is not input to the ID reader 100 may be used. In this case, a visitor ID is given to the user only on the day. Note that the ID reader 100 is a non-contact automatic reader, and may be an apparatus that can automatically read an ID just by approaching a user.

  The ID reading unit 101 acquires time information from the time measuring unit 50a at the timing when the ID of the user is read as personal identification information from the ID reading device 100. Then, the ID reading unit 101 transmits the acquired personal identification information and time information to the input analysis unit 40a.

  When generating the first history information, the input analysis unit 40a stores the personal identification information in the storage unit 61 in addition to the destination registration information, the time information, and the dispatch information. At this time, the input analysis unit 40a associates the time information acquired when the operation button 21 is operated with the time information acquired when the personal identification information is received, so that the history first including the personal identification information is stored. Information can be generated.

  When the history first information stored in the storage unit 61 does not include personal identification information, the totaling unit 62 determines that the data is data by the user only on that day. Then, the totaling unit 62 employs only the history first information including the personal identification information, and totals the history second information. Moreover, when the personal identification information of the history first information is a visitor ID indicating that the user is the user only on the day, the counting unit 62 removes data including such a visitor ID. The history second information is aggregated.

  Here, the personal identification information in the third embodiment includes a group number (hereinafter referred to as a usage group) for identifying a group of users together with the personal identification number. Here, the use group is composed of a number that associates the floor of the building with a plurality of zones in the floor, and can identify which zone of which floor the user is using.

  For example, the user of tenant A in FIG. 1 is likely to operate the A operation panel 10a because the A operation panel 10a is nearby. On the other hand, the user of the tenant B in FIG. 1 is likely to operate the B operation panel 10b because the B operation panel 10b is nearby. Therefore, the user of tenant A and the user of tenant B are divided into separate use groups. In this way, the usage status of the usage group (each tenant) is reflected for each operation panel 10 even on the same floor. In addition, the characteristics of the usage time (business hours) of each tenant are reflected for each operation panel 10.

  For example, tenants A and B are on the third floor, the usage time (business hours) of tenant A is 8:30 to 17:00, and the usage time (business hours) of tenant B is 10:00 to 19:00. At this time, the history first information of the A operation panel 10a that is installed on the third floor and is close to the tenant A has a large history by the users in the use group in which the tenant A is included. Furthermore, in consideration of attendance time and leaving time, for example, the operation time is stored in a history that concentrates on, for example, 8: 0 to 8:30 and 17: 0 to 17:30. On the other hand, the history first information of the B operation panel 10b close to the tenant B has a large history by the users in the use group in which the tenant B is included. Furthermore, the history which concentrates operation time on 9:30 to 10:00, and 19: 0 to 19:30 will come to be memorize | stored, for example.

  In this example, on the A operation panel 10a, the timing for switching from the quiet time zone to the busy time zone is set to 8:30, and the switching to the quiet time zone is set to 17:30. On the other hand, in the B operation panel 10b, the timing for switching from the quiet time zone to the busy time zone is set to 9:30, and the switching to the quiet time zone is set to 19:30.

  FIG. 14 is a table showing an example of history first information stored in the storage unit 61 according to the third embodiment. In addition to the history first information shown in FIG. 5 corresponding to FIG. 4 in the first embodiment, user identification information and a usage group are further added to the history first information shown in FIG. Has been.

  Therefore, No. 1 in FIG. 14 corresponding to X1 in FIG. 1 will be described. No. of FIG. 1 corresponds to No. 1 in FIG. In addition to 1, user identification information “03019001” and a usage group “0301” are included. Here, “03” indicates the third floor, and “01” indicates that the zone of the tenant A is close to the A operation panel 10a. Accordingly, when the usage group is a zone of tenant A close to the B operation panel 10b on the third floor, the usage group is “0302”.

  FIG. 15 and FIG. 16 are tables showing an example of history second information that is totaled by the totaling unit 62 and stored in the history storage unit 63. In the example illustrated in FIG. 15, the history second information stored in the history storage unit 63 is shown as a result of the history first information being totaled by the counting unit 62 using the user as a key.

  On the other hand, in the example shown in FIG. 16, the history second information stored in the history storage unit 63 is shown as a result of the history first information being totaled by the totaling unit 62 using the use group as a key. As described above, the history second information stored in the history storage unit 63 can be selected as a key for each user or each usage group at the time of design.

  In the examples of FIGS. 15 and 16, all are stored together in the order of use time. However, as a counting method other than this, for example, it is also possible to store the data separately for each time zone, such as a work time zone, a lunch break time zone, and a return time zone.

  Next, the control operation of the control S / W unit 30a of the A operation panel 10a will be specifically described based on a flowchart. 17A and 17B are flowcharts showing the control operation of the A control S / W unit 30a of the A operation panel 10a in the third embodiment of the present invention.

  FIG. 17A and FIG. 17B show one flow chart divided into two drawings, followed by 1 part shown in FIG. 17A and 1 part shown in FIG. 17B.

  Steps S301 to 303 and steps S305 to S312 in FIG. 17 are the same as steps S301 to 303 and steps S305 to S312 in FIG. Therefore, the following description will be made focusing on steps S501 to S503.

  After executing steps S301 to S303, when the ID reading unit 100 reads the ID information of the user, the ID reading unit 101 acquires the ID information from the ID reading device 100 and sends it to the input analysis unit 40a. After the transmission (steps S501 and S502), the process proceeds to step S503. On the other hand, when the ID information of the user is not read by the ID reader 100 in step S501, the process proceeds directly to step S503.

  In step S503, the input analysis unit 40a, the destination registration information, the time information regarding the current time when the operation button 21 is operated, the dispatch information determined by the group management device 3 according to the destination registration information, the ID information, Is generated and stored in the storage unit 61.

  The subsequent operations in steps S305 to S312 are the same as those in steps S305 to S312 in FIG.

  As described above, the elevator control system according to Embodiment 3 has a configuration capable of acquiring personal identification information of a user and identifying whether or not the user is a person who uses only that day. By providing such a configuration, the use history of the user who uses the elevator only on the day can be excluded from the total data. As a result, it is possible to more effectively schedule the transition time to the power saving mode.

  In the control operation of the control S / W unit 30a of the third embodiment, whether or not the ID information corresponding to step S501 has been input after confirming whether or not the operation button 21 corresponding to step S301 has been operated. However, the first history information is generated, but the order is not limited to this. For example, after confirming whether or not the ID information corresponding to step S501 has been input, it may be confirmed whether or not the operation button 21 corresponding to step S301 has been operated. Further, the destination floor corresponding to the time zone of the ID owner is stored in the ID information in advance, and after confirming that the ID information is input, if the operation button 21 is not operated, the destination floor is determined from the ID information. You may read.

Embodiment 4 FIG.
In the first to third embodiments, the case where the power saving mode is canceled independently for either one of the A operation panel 10a or the B operation panel 10b has been described. On the other hand, in the fourth embodiment, a case will be described in which the A operation panel 10a and the B operation panel 10b are interlocked to release the power saving mode. The configuration of control panel 10 is the same as the configuration of FIG. 11 in the second embodiment.

  In the second embodiment, when it is determined by the automatic lighting control unit 82a that the power saving mode is released, the power saving mode of the A operation panel 10a is canceled, and the assigned machine registration unit 90 registers the call. Cars were dispatched in advance to the floor with many users. In the fourth embodiment, the automatic lighting control unit 82a determines whether or not to control the B operation panel 10b in conjunction with the vehicle allocation process.

  The following may be considered as a reference for determining whether to cancel the power saving mode by interlocking control of the A operation panel 10a and the B operation panel 10b. For example, the automatic lighting control unit 82a can estimate the expected number of usages from the past history based on the history second information stored in the history storage unit 63. As an example, the automatic lighting control unit 82a can acquire, as an estimated value, the maximum value of the number of uses as the entire floor in a range from the current time to a predetermined time later. Therefore, when the maximum value exceeds the number of passengers that can be carried by one car 2, the automatic lighting control unit 82a links not only the A operation panel 10a but also the B operation panel 10b, so that the power saving mode Can be determined to be canceled.

  18A and 18B are flowcharts showing the control operation of the A control S / W unit 30a of the A operation panel 10a according to the fourth embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 18A and FIG. 18B show one flowchart divided into two drawings, followed by 1 part shown in FIG. 18A and 1 part shown in FIG. 18B.

  Steps S301 to S312 and S401 and S402 in FIG. 18A and FIG. 18B are the same as steps S301 to S312 and S401 and S402 in FIG.

  In step S402, it is the timing to cancel the power saving mode. When the call registration is performed by the assigned machine registration unit 90, the automatic lighting control unit 82a controls the A operation panel 10a and the B operation panel 10b in conjunction with each other. It is determined whether or not (step S601).

  In step S601, when the automatic lighting control unit 82a determines to interlock control the A operation panel 10a and the B operation panel 10b, the communication control unit 70a displays the display on the display control unit 83b via the communication unit 70b. A lighting command for lighting is issued (step S602). At this time, call registration is also performed in the group management apparatus 3 from the assigned number machine registration unit 90 of the B operation panel 10b.

  Thus, at the timing of releasing the power saving mode, the elevator control system in the fourth embodiment should release the power saving mode by interlocking a plurality of operation panels according to the expected number of use cases in the future. And it has the structure which can judge whether call registration of a plurality of cars should be performed. By providing such a configuration, even when all users cannot get on a car that has been dispatched in advance, a nearby car can already be dispatched. As a result, the elevator can be operated more efficiently and the convenience for the user can be further improved.

  Note that the technique for registering calls for a plurality of cars is also applicable to the second embodiment. In other words, the assigned machine registration unit 90 can register a second call to the group management device 3 when a user who cannot be reached by one car is expected based on the usage record. It is.

Embodiment 5 FIG.
In the fifth embodiment, an example in which all the configurations of the first to fourth embodiments are provided will be described. 19A and 19B are flowcharts showing the control operation of the A control S / W unit 30a of the A operation panel 10a in the fifth embodiment of the present invention. 19A and 19B show one flowchart divided into two drawings, followed by 1 part shown in FIG. 19A and 1 part shown in FIG. 19B.

  Each step described in FIG. 19A and FIG. 19B is denoted by the same number as the step described in the first to fourth embodiments, and the description thereof is omitted.

  As described above, the elevator control system according to the fifth embodiment has all the configurations of the first to fourth embodiments. As a result, all the effects of the first to fourth embodiments can be obtained.

Embodiment 6 FIG.
In the first embodiment, each of the plurality of operation panels 10 provided on each floor has a call operation button 21, and any one master operation panel 10 of the operation panels 10 is operated by other slave operations. The example in which the call registration of the board 10 is collectively controlled has been described. On the other hand, in the sixth embodiment, a case will be described in which there is one operation panel 10 having the call registration unit 20 on each floor, and the other control panels 10 have only the display unit 22. .

  FIG. 20 is a configuration diagram specifically showing the internal configuration of operation panel 10 in the elevator control system according to Embodiment 6 of the present invention. The configuration of FIG. 20 in the sixth embodiment is different from the configuration of FIG. 2 in the first embodiment in that the operation button 21 and the input analysis unit 40b are not provided in the B operation panel 10b. Yes.

  The call registration unit 20 of the B operation panel 10 b has only the display unit 22. The B control S / W unit 30b includes a communication unit 70b and a display management unit 80b. Thereby, the input analysis unit 40a analyzes the destination registration information based only on the information input from the operation button 21 of the A operation panel 10a, generates the first history information, and stores it in the storage unit 61.

  In the B operation panel 10b, the display control unit 83b controls display based on information sent from the A operation panel 10a via the communication units 70a and 70b.

  Even in the configuration of the sixth embodiment, as in the first embodiment, the time for shifting to the power saving mode can be adjusted according to the usage history to increase the energy saving effect and reduce the convenience. The effect that it can prevent can be acquired.

Embodiment 7 FIG.
In the first embodiment, the example has been described in which the A operation panel 10a is used as the master operation panel 10 and scheduling of the power saving mode transition of each operation panel 10 is performed collectively. In contrast, in the seventh embodiment, an example in which each operation panel 10 performs scheduling individually will be described.

  FIG. 21 is a configuration diagram specifically showing the internal configuration of operation panel 10 in the elevator control system according to Embodiment 7 of the present invention.
