Conventionally, elevator systems have the following drawbacks.
The car can be lifted and lowered only on the hoistway in the structure such as the same building, and the user can get on and off the car only at a predetermined stop position in the hoistway in the structure such as the same building, As the number of buildings increased, the number of elevators required increased, and the ratio of the elevator hoistway area to the floor area of the building increased, resulting in a higher occupancy rate.

Conventionally, urban transportation has the following drawbacks.
There are restrictions on public transportation with fixed routes and times, and when using the bus, you must walk to the bus stop and the available time is fixed. It is in. In addition, the transportation capacity may be reduced due to road congestion. The time and routes that trains can be used are also fixed, so they cannot move freely without being restricted by time, and they must wait for other people to get on and off during the movement, which reduces the efficiency of movement. Private cars and taxis are less time-constrained than buses and trains, but they have trouble in moving and arranging before getting into the car, the risk of traffic accidents, and a reduction in travel efficiency due to traffic jams. Although progress has been made in enhancing safety through autonomous driving, it is not conditional on autonomous driving that supports daily movement in the community, not on autonomous driving for roads with favorable traffic conditions such as expressways It is difficult to lift the ban. In either case, especially for elderly people and wheelchair users, traffic access is not smooth for moving to the destination, and there are cases where it is troublesome to arrange and transfer, and assistance for getting on and off is sometimes required.

  The present invention has been invented to solve the above problems at the same time.

  A car that can move horizontally along a horizontal track provided on a vertical surface of a lift driving device that moves up and down the hoistway, and that lifts and lowers a space vacated by the horizontal movement of the car by another lift driving device and another It is possible to install a total of three elevators, one elevator having a structure in which the elevating drive device can pass in the vertical direction, and two elevators having a conventional structure in two adjacent hoistways without partitions. Specifically, two cantilevered elevators with guide rails and suspension ropes that guide the car are arranged on the side of the car are installed in each of two adjacent hoistways. A left-side cantilever elevator is installed on the road, and a right-side cantilever elevator is installed on the right hoistway. The elevator drive device has a structure that allows the car to move horizontally and guides the travel of the lift drive device. The guide rail to be installed is installed with a width across the two hoistways. In other words, the elevator car having a structure in which the car can move horizontally can move between the two hoistways along a horizontal track provided on the vertical surface of the lift driving device. Since the car can move between two hoistways, it can run over other elevators traveling on the same hoistway, and retreats to the next hoistway so as not to disturb the other two cars You can also Thus, since three elevators can be operated not by three hoistways but by two hoistways, the occupation ratio of the elevator hoistway with respect to the floor area of a structure such as a building can be reduced to two thirds.

  Provided on the vertical surface of the hoisting drive device that moves the horizontal track on the vertical surface of the hoisting drive device where the car moves up and down the hoistway at any position of the hoistway and moves up and down another adjacent hoistway It can be transferred directly to the horizontal track, or conversely, it is provided on the vertical surface of the lifting drive device that lifts and lowers the source hoistway from the horizontal track provided on the vertical surface of the lifting drive device that moves up and down another adjacent hoistway It is possible to return to the horizontal orbit, or to move directly to the horizontal orbit provided on the vertical surface of the lifting drive that moves up and down another adjacent hoistway on the opposite side of the transition source, thereby providing a horizontal movement path It is possible to move between the elevator hoistways. The drive system of the elevating drive device may be a traction system, a linear motor drive system, or any other system. Further, the lift drive device has a structure that is a low press multi-elevator and has the above-described structure and allows another car and another lift drive device to pass vertically through a space vacated by the horizontal movement of the car. Thus, the elevator drive device from which the car has been separated by the transition to the hoistway next to the car passes through the back side of another elevator drive device that travels on the same hoistway, overtaking the other elevator drive device, The car that has moved to the adjacent hoistway can return to the horizontal track provided in the hoisting drive device of the transfer source again. Here, the back surface of the elevating drive device refers to a surface opposite to a vertical surface having a horizontal track. All the cars in the structure such as buildings can move directly between the hoistways and overtake other elevators without providing any other roads other than the adjacent hoistways. The occupation ratio of the elevator hoistway to the floor area of the structure can be minimized.

At any position on the hoistway, the horizontal trajectory provided on the vertical plane of the hoisting drive device where the car moves up and down the hoistway can be moved horizontally to the horizontal trajectory provided on the vertical plane of the structure, or vice versa. Can be returned to the horizontal track provided on the vertical surface of the lifting / lowering drive device that lifts and lowers the transfer source hoistway from the horizontal track provided on the vertical surface of the structure, or the lift drive that lifts and lowers the hoistway different from the transfer source By being able to move to a horizontal track provided on the vertical surface of the apparatus, the car can move to a hoistway of a structure such as another elevator installation building through the horizontal track provided in the structure.
The reason why the track is provided on the vertical surface of the structure is to enable the car to move to the structure using the same mechanism as the elevator that can be directly moved between the hoistways described above. Note that if the car is moved on the structure using another mechanism, the cost increases and the weight increases and the structure becomes complicated.
As a result, the user can move to another building or other structure without changing elevators, and by connecting elevator traffic of separate medium-rise buildings, the number of floors equal to the total number of floors of each of these buildings Access to the target floor can be obtained compared to high-rise buildings, so if there is a space in the location, it is more advantageous to divide into high-rise buildings than in higher-rise buildings, and traffic within the building is more efficient in terms of safety. Can be built.

At any position on the hoistway, the horizontal trajectory provided on the vertical surface of the hoisting drive device where the car moves up and down the hoistway can be moved horizontally to move to the horizontal track provided on the vertical surface of the moving body other than the hoisting drive device. On the contrary, the horizontal track provided on the vertical surface of the moving body can be returned to the horizontal track provided on the vertical surface of the lifting / lowering drive device for raising and lowering the moving source hoistway, or a hoistway different from the moving source By moving to the horizontal track provided on the vertical plane of the lift drive device that lifts and lowers the vehicle, the vertical and horizontal traffic can be linked and merged, so that structures such as remote elevator installations and remote destinations can be reached. Direct access is possible.
Here, the moving body may be anything that has the ability to carry a car regardless of land, sea, or air, regardless of whether it is self-running or not, or traveling or guided or not.
The reason why the track is provided on the vertical plane of the moving body is to enable the car to move to the moving body by using the same mechanism as the elevator that can directly move between the hoistways described above. Note that if another mechanism such as a mechanism for gripping the car is used for coupling and detachment from the moving body, the cost increases and the weight increases and the structure becomes complicated.

  A structure provided with a horizontal track on a vertical plane so that the travel track of the elevator car having each structure described in the preceding paragraph installed in a plurality of structures such as buildings can be moved horizontally, and A plurality of cars are connected to each other between the plurality of structures such as buildings by connecting a moving body having a vertical track on a vertical surface so that the cars can move horizontally, Each elevator drive device and the elevator system connected to each mobile unit communicate with each other, and each elevator, each elevator drive unit, and each mobile unit are controlled in groups, so that the number of uses and usage In accordance with the number of passengers and the boarding / exiting positions of the respective users, the number of cars and moving bodies and the positions of the cars can be automatically determined, and useless operation can be eliminated. In addition, in order to move the car so that the user can move to the target location without changing trains, the linkage of the car between the lift drive units, between the moving bodies, and between the lift drive unit and the moving body is linked. Can be achieved. When the boarding / exiting position other than the lifting / lowering process is not fixed and the boarding / exiting position is not fixed, the user who is in the car and the user who waits for the arrival of the car can enter any position entered in the elevator system. When the car stops, the user can get on and off the car, or the car stops at the user's designated position at the specified time, and the user can get on and off the car. This provides a door-to-door vertical and horizontal traffic network with high mobility that does not lock the time. Furthermore, since the boarding / exiting position may be physically incapable of boarding / exiting, inaccessible areas, and may not be stopped for security reasons, a position or system that permits preset boarding / exiting for this elevator system. It is also possible that the user can get on and off the car by stopping the car only in positions other than the position where the boarding and exiting set in advance are prohibited. Further, the position may be changed according to the situation, such as when a disaster occurs and there is a place where a specific user such as a wheelchair user cannot get on or off. The stop position of the car specified by the user includes not only direct position information such as an address, coordinates, and current position, but also indirect position information such as a telephone number and name that can specify the position.

Further, in addition to the boarding / alighting means described in the previous paragraph in a process in which the boarding / alighting position is not fixed, the position of the user waiting for the arrival of the car is detected by a detection sensor provided on the car travel, and the car is moved to the position. Detecting the position of a person who is in the car or traveling in the car with a detection sensor provided in the car, assisting the movement of the user, such as on the car's travel, on the user's body, in a wheelchair And waiting for arrival of the car detected by at least one of image recognition, voice recognition, biopotential signal detection, brain wave detection, motion detection, and voice detection provided in at least one of the cars When the movement or voice of the passenger and the person in the travel of the car meets the criteria for intention to get on and off, which is preset in the elevator system, the car is stopped at the position. , The user may be as capable of getting on and off the cab. In this way, even if the user cannot input the boarding / exiting position from the boarding / exiting position input means described in the previous paragraph to the elevator system for some reason, the user can place the car at any position from the automatic detection of the boarding / exiting intention. You can get on and off.
Further, at least one of an image discrimination sensor, a displacement sensor, a position sensor, and a distance sensor provided in the car is used in place of the means described in the previous paragraph for stopping the car only at a position that allows the passenger to get on and off in advance. When the height and distance from the boarding / exiting position detected by the vehicle to the floor position of the car satisfy the judgment criteria set in advance for this elevator system, the car is stopped, and the user It is good also as what can get on and off the car. In this way, it is possible to determine whether to get on and off according to the physical situation.
Furthermore, if each side traffic connected to the elevator is run by track or guided, and the same automatic control as that of the elevator is performed, each side traffic can be automatically operated in the same way as an elevator, and all operations are automated. A vertical and horizontal traffic network that is safe and efficient in movement can be constructed.

  By using the present invention, the car can move directly between the hoistways, and the car overtakes another car that runs on the same hoistway without providing a road other than the adjacent hoistway. In addition, the vertical traveling and horizontal traveling cars can cross each other, and a space-saving multi-elevator can be configured. Moreover, even if it is a traction type, it is possible to install three elevators for every two hoistways while allowing other cars to be overtaken as described above. Therefore, the occupation ratio of the elevator hoistway with respect to the floor area of a structure such as a building can be reduced, and the floor area of the structure such as a building can be used for the purpose of a structure such as a building wider than before.

  The ability to connect elevator traffic in separate medium-rise buildings will allow more access to the destination floor than the high-rise buildings of the same number of floors combined with the number of floors of each of these buildings, leaving room for space. In other words, it is possible to construct intra-building traffic that is more advantageous in terms of building safety and more efficient in movement than dividing it into higher-rise buildings.

  Even if the car cannot be moved up and down due to the problem of lifting and lowering, it can be rescued by automatically moving the car to another lifting drive that moves up and down the adjacent hoistway. Accidents can be reduced.

  Along with the linkage and fusion of vertical and horizontal traffic, ground traffic can be integrated, there is no need to transfer, direct access to any destination is possible, and a door-to-door vertical and horizontal traffic network with high movement efficiency is created. can get.

  The vertical and horizontal traffic networks under group management control can be boarded / exited at an arbitrary position and time designated by the user in an on-demand format, thereby eliminating the restriction of traffic with fixed routes and times. Since traffic is automatically concentrated in places with high traffic demand, there is no unnecessary driving.

  Since it is possible to move in individual units by dedicated operation of the elevator or VIP operation, it is possible to move vertically and horizontally directly to the destination without being interrupted by other people getting on and off like buses and trains.

  If the horizontal traffic connected to the elevator is orbited or guided, and automatically controlled in the same way as an elevator, the group management control of this vertical and horizontal traffic network, the automatic detection of the boarding / exiting position of the user, In addition, by automatically detecting whether or not it is a place where the passenger can physically get on and off, it is possible to easily construct a vertical and horizontal traffic network with all the driving operations automated and with high movement efficiency.

  Because you can move directly between your home and a nursing facility or hospital, you can continue to live in an area where you are accustomed to living even if you need nursing care. Or hospitalized patients can be treated at home instead of wards.

  Elderly people and wheelchair users can access their destinations without any burden, and they do not need assistance for getting on and off.

  Since it is sent directly from the residence to the storefront and shopping mall in the shopping district, the town is activated by making it easier to go out. In particular, elderly people and wheelchair users can easily go out necessary for daily life, and can support daily life.

  Since it is sent directly from the dwelling to the natural walking area and recreational facilities, it is possible to support health promotion and health promotion by making it easier to go out. In particular, elderly people and wheelchair users can easily go out in various ways, increasing daily enjoyment and improving the quality of life.

  From the above, we can support urban compactness and transportation town development.
