Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve the problem that in an elevator configured so that timing for starting arrival notification when an elevator car arrives is delayed by predetermined time more than usual timing, an operation efficiency of the elevator is decreased more than necessary in order to delay timing for starting arrival notification even when there are few getting-off passengers and a problem that if the timing for starting arrival notification is not delayed sufficiently even when there are many getting-off passengers, a collision between the passengers getting-off from the elevator car and passengers waiting at a landing cannot be avoided.SOLUTION: The arrival notifying device of an elevator comprises a destination floor registering device by which an elevator passenger registers a destination floor and a notifying device that notifies in advance arrival of an elevator car to a landing in the destination floor when the elevator car arrives at the destination floor registered by the destination floor registering device. The notifying device delays notification timing when there are many getting-off more than when there are few getting-off passengers.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2

Description

  The present invention relates to an elevator arrival notification device that predicts that an elevator car will arrive at a landing.

  As an example of a conventional elevator arrival notification device, for example, in Patent Document 1, when both a hall call and a car call are registered for a floor where the elevator car is to stop, arrival when the elevator car arrives By delaying the start timing of the notification by a predetermined time from the normal timing and delaying the timing when the waiting passenger at the landing moves to the car to get on, the passenger getting off from the car and the waiting passenger at the landing collide An elevator arrival notification device that avoids the problem has been proposed.

JP 2004-067273 A (refer to paragraphs 0013 to 0019 and FIGS. 1 to 2)

However, in Patent Document 1, no consideration is given to the number of people getting off at the floor to stop, and the arrival notification start timing is the same regardless of the number of people getting off. Therefore, for example, even when the number of passengers getting off is small and there is a low possibility of collision between passengers getting off from the car and waiting passengers at the landing, the arrival notification start timing is delayed, so depending on the extent to which the arrival notification start timing is delayed, There was a problem of lowering the efficiency of the operation more than necessary. On the other hand, if there is a large number of people getting off, and there is a high possibility that the passengers getting off from the car and the waiting passengers at the landing will collide, if the degree of delay of the arrival notification start timing is insufficient, There was a problem that the collision between the passenger getting off and the waiting passenger at the landing could not be avoided.
An object of the present invention is to solve the above-described problems, by changing the arrival notification timing in consideration of the number of people getting off from the car, and passengers and landings getting off from the car without adding equipment It is an object of the present invention to provide an elevator arrival notification device capable of performing more efficient and safe operation while preventing a collision with a waiting customer.

  An elevator arrival notification device according to the present invention includes a destination floor registration device that registers a destination floor of an elevator, a forecast device that predicts arrival of the car at the landing when the car arrives at the elevator landing, The forecasting apparatus changes the forecast timing based on the number of passengers getting off at the destination floor.

  Since the elevator destination control system according to the present invention is configured as described above, it avoids collision between passengers getting off from the elevator car and waiting passengers at the landing, and takes into account the number of people getting off the car By changing the notification timing, there is an effect that more efficient service can be performed.

Embodiment 1
Hereinafter, the configuration and operation of the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. In the present embodiment, the forecast device described in the claims comprises an arrival notification delay determination means 106, an arrival notification output means 107, and an arrival notification device 32 which will be described later. FIG. 1 is an overall configuration diagram of one elevator provided with an elevator arrival notification device according to the present embodiment. One elevator equipped with an elevator arrival notification device includes a hoistway 1, a car 2, a landing 3, a counterweight 4, a wire rope 5, a hoisting machine 6, a deflector 7, each car controller 10, and The driving device 100 is configured. Each table control device 10 commands the raising and lowering of the car 2 in the hoistway 1 and the opening and closing of the doors at the landing 3. The driving device 100 controls the hoisting machine 6 on the basis of a command issued by each stand control device 10 to raise or lower or stop the car 2. The car 2 and the counterweight 4 are suspended by a wire rope 5 through a deflecting wheel. By rotating the hoisting machine 6 around which the wire rope 5 is wound, the car 2 and the counterweight 4 are raised and lowered in the hoistway 1 like a fishing bottle. 1 is one elevator, but a plurality of elevators may be installed in parallel.

  In the car 2, a car operation panel 21, a scale 22, and a car door 23 are installed. Passengers in the car 2 enter the destination floor using the car operation panel 21. The scale 22 measures the weight of passengers in the car.

  A landing 3 is installed on each floor, and a landing operation panel 31 and a forecasting device 32 are installed on the landing 3. When the car 2 arrives at the landing 3 and the car door 23 and the landing door 33 are opened, passengers in the car 2 can get out of the car 2 and waiting passengers in the car 3 are in the car 2. It becomes possible to get on.

  A waiting person at the hall 3 operates the hall operating panel 31 and inputs a hall call for the corresponding floor. The forecasting device 32 forecasts that “the car 2 will arrive” before a predetermined time (for example, 2 seconds) before the car 2 arrives at the landing 3. The forecasting method by the forecasting device 32 may be a voice message, lighting and blinking of a lantern, notification by a screen display, etc., and the method is not particularly limited.

  FIG. 2 is an internal configuration diagram of the elevator arrival notification apparatus according to the present embodiment. The arrival notification device is composed of each vehicle control device 10, a driving device 100, a car operation panel 21, a scale 22, a hall operation panel 31, and a forecasting device 32.

  Each table control device 10 performs operation control such as raising / lowering of the car 2 and opening / closing of the car door 23 and the landing door 33. Each platform control device 10 is composed of a hall call registration means 101, a destination floor registration means 102, a scale detection means 103, an elevator control means 104, a passenger number prediction means 105, an arrival notification delay determination means 106, and an arrival notification output means 107. .

  When the hall operating panel 31 is operated by a waiting customer at the hall 3, the hall call registration means 101 registers a hall call for the floor. When a destination floor is input from the car operation panel 21 by a passenger in the car 2, the destination floor registration means 102 registers the input destination floor. The scale detection means 103 detects the weight value of the passenger in the car measured by the scale 22 and transmits it to the elevator control means 104.

  The elevator control means 104 is a landing call of each floor registered in the landing call registration means 101, a destination floor registered in the destination floor registration means 102, and a weight value of passengers in the car 2 detected by the scale detection means 103. Based on the above, an operation command for raising / lowering the car 2, stopping, and opening / closing the door is created. The elevator control means 104 issues an elevator lift / stop control command to the drive device 100. Further, when the car 2 arrives at the landing 3, the elevator control unit 104 issues a forecast notification command to an arrival notification output unit 107 described later. Furthermore, the elevator control means 104 commands the arrival notification delay determination means 106 described later to determine the arrival notification timing. The arrival notification timing is a time for delaying the start of notification with respect to the normal time (for example, 2 seconds) when the arrival notification device 33 starts notification before the car 2 arrives at the landing 3 and opens. is there.

  The number of passengers predicting means 105 is the landing call of each floor registered in the landing call registration means 101, the destination floor registered in the destination floor registration means 102, and the passengers in the car 2 detected by the scale detection means 103. Based on the weight value, the estimated number of passengers getting off at the next stop floor of the car 2 (the landing floor of each floor or the destination floor registered by the destination floor registration means 102) is calculated, and the arrival notification delay judgment means 106 gets off. Send the number of people. The elevator control means 104 calculates the number of people in the car 2 from the weight value in the car 2 detected by the scale detection means 103, and transmits it to the getting-off person prediction means 105. For example, the assumed weight per person is 60 kg.

  (Number of passengers in the car 2) = (weight of passengers in the car 2) / (assumed weight per passenger)

  The fractional result of the above division may be rounded down, rounded up, or rounded.

The getting-off number predicting means 105 calculates the getting-off number predicted at the next stop floor, for example, by the following formula. The number of stop floors in the following equation is the number of destination floors registered in the destination floor registration means 102 at the time of calculating the number of passengers in the same direction as the direction in which the car 2 moves up and down. However, for the floor where the floor of the hall call and the destination floor overlap, the stop floor is counted as one. The getting-off person predicting means 105 calculates the getting-off person each time the elevator stops in response to a call.
(Number of people getting off) = (Number of people in the car 2) / (Number of stops)

  The fractional result of the above division may be rounded down, rounded up, or rounded.

  The arrival notification delay determination unit 106 instructs the arrival notification output unit 107 (to be described later) on the timing of arrival notification based on the number of people getting off calculated by the number of people getting off prediction unit 105.

  If at least one of the hall call or the destination floor is not registered for the next stop floor of the car 2, for example, the arrival notification timing is set to 0 seconds. When both the hall call and the destination floor are registered for the next stop floor of the car 2, the arrival notification timing is changed according to the number of people getting off the vehicle calculated by the number-of-gettings passenger prediction means 105. For example, when the number of people getting off is less than 3, the arrival notification timing is 2 seconds. When the number of people getting off is 3 or more, the arrival notification timing is 4 seconds.

  The arrival notification output unit 107 instructs the arrival notification device 33 of the hall 3 to output the arrival notification based on the arrival notification timing instructed from the arrival notification delay determination unit 106. The drive device 100 performs physical control such as raising and lowering or stopping the car 2 on the hoisting machine 6 according to an instruction from the elevator control means 104.

  Next, the operation of the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing the operation of the elevator arrival notification device, which is activated each time before the car 2 arrives at the landing 3.

  First, it is determined whether the next stop floor car call is registered in the destination floor registration means 101 (S101).

  When the next stop floor car call is not registered in the destination floor registration unit 101 (N in S101), the arrival notification delay determination unit 106 sets the arrival notification timing to a normal time (no notification delay = 0 seconds). The setting is made (S106), and the process proceeds to S107.

  If the next stop floor car call is registered in the destination floor registration means 101 (Y in S101), it is determined whether a hall call in the same ascending / descending direction on the arrival floor is registered in the hall call registration means 102 (S102). )).

  When a hall call in the same ascending / descending direction on the next stop floor is not registered in the hall call registration unit 102 (N in S102), the arrival notification delay determination unit 106 sets the arrival notification timing to a normal time (no notification delay = 0 seconds) (S106), and the process proceeds to S107.

  When a hall call in the same ascending / descending direction on the next stop floor is registered in the destination floor registration means 101 (Y in S102), the number of getting off passengers calculated by the getting-off person predicting means 105 on the arrival floor is equal to or more than a predetermined number (for example, 3 people) ) Is determined (S103).

  When the number of people getting off at the next stop floor is less than the predetermined number of people (N in S103), the arrival notification delay determination unit 106 sets the arrival notification timing as a notification delay B (for example, 2 seconds). (S105), the process proceeds to S107.

  When the number of people getting off at the next stop floor is greater than or equal to the number of people getting off (Y in S103), the arrival notification delay determination unit 106 sets the arrival notification timing as a notification delay A (for example, 4 seconds). Then (S104), the process proceeds to S107.

  After arrival notification timing is set by the arrival notification delay determination means 106 in S104, S105, or S106, the arrival notification output means 107 instructs the arrival notification device 33 to notify arrival (S107).

  The arrival notification device 33 performs arrival notification at the arrival notification timing set by the arrival notification delay determination means 106 (S108), and ends the flow.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, by calculating the number of passengers expected to get off from the car and changing the arrival notification timing, by reducing congestion of waiting customers in front of the car and shortening the boarding time, Without adding equipment, while preventing collision between passengers getting off from the car and waiting passengers at the landing, it is possible to obtain a safe elevator with higher operational efficiency.

  The destination floor may be input via the hall operating panel 31. The destination floor may be input by at least one of the hall operation panel 31 and the car operation panel 21. Further, the hall operation panel 31 capable of inputting the destination floor may be installed only in the halls 3 of some floors, not all the floors.

  In this embodiment, three timings are set as shown in S104 to S106 in FIG. 3 based on the registration status of the destination floor, the registration status of the hall call, and the number of people getting off. It may be possible to set more finely.

  Further, in this embodiment, the timing of arrival notification has a magnitude relationship of reporting delay A> reporting delay B> no reporting delay, but the value of each reporting delay need not be limited to the above magnitude relationship. The relationship may be reversed or equal. Each report delay value may be a negative value.

  For example, from the weight in the car 2 detected by the scale detection means 13 and the capacity of the car 2, the elevator control means 104 calculates the boarding rate in the car 2, and the arrival notification delay judgment means 107 changes the judgment condition based on the boarding rate. You may do it. For example, when the boarding rate is less than 30% (when the car 2 is busy), the reporting delay A> the reporting delay B, and when the boarding rate is 30% or more and less than 60% (the degree of congestion in the car 2 is intermediate) Case), the notification delay A = the notification delay B, and further, when the boarding rate is 60% or more (when the car 2 is congested), the notification delay A <the notification delay B may be satisfied.

  When the number of passengers getting off is small in the situation where the car 2 is crowded, it takes more time to get off the passengers than when there are many passengers getting off. This is more effective in avoiding a collision between a passenger getting off the car 2 and a waiting person getting on the car 2 at the landing 3. Of course, the boarding rate for changing the determination condition is not limited to the above value, and may be any value, and the delay time for the boarding rate does not have to be the same value.

  In addition, a part of the configuration may be modified or a part thereof may be omitted, and it is considered that the same effect as the present embodiment can be obtained.

Embodiment 2
Hereinafter, the configuration and operation of the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 4 and 5. In FIG. 4, the same reference numerals as those in FIG. 2 denote the same or corresponding parts. The overall configuration of FIG. 1 of the first embodiment and the flowchart of FIG. 3 are the same in this embodiment, and the description thereof is omitted. In addition, the forecasting device described in the claims includes the arrival notification delay determination means 106, the arrival notification output means 107, and the arrival notification device 32 in this embodiment as well.

  Each vehicle control device 10 in the present embodiment further includes a boarding history storage means 108. FIG. 5 shows the data structure of the boarding history storage means 108. In the table of FIG. 5, the arrival date, the arrival time, the arrival floor, and the inside of the car 2 detected by the scale detection means 103 before the car 2 arrives at the arrival floor as shown in the first line. The weight of the passenger (weight before arrival) and the weight of the passenger in the car 2 (weight before departure) detected by the scale detection means 103 before the car 2 leaves the arrival floor are described. The elevator control means 104 stores each item of the disembarking person history means 108 every time the car 2 stops at each floor.

For example, the history described in the second column of the table of the boarding history storage means 108 in FIG. 5 is: Arrival date: February 25, 2015 Arrival time: 16:47:00 Arrival floor: Weight before arrival on the second floor: 312Kg
Weight before departure: 241kg
It is.

As in the first embodiment, for example, assuming that the assumed weight per person is 60 kg,
(Weight before arrival)-(Weight before and after departure) = 312Kg-241Kg = 71Kg
Therefore, 71Kg / 60Kg ≒ 1 person,
Arrival date: February 25, 2015 Arrival time: 16:47:00 It can be considered that one person got off at the second floor.

  Further, the ascending / descending direction from each arrival floor is also obtained from the history of the boarding history storage means 108. For example, in the history described in the third column of the table of the boarding history storage means 108 in FIG. 5, the arrival floor is described as the fourth floor, and the arrival in the first column of the table of the boarding history storage means 108 in FIG. It can be seen that the vehicle traveled upward from the second floor (toward the fourth floor).

  The operation of this embodiment is the same as the flowchart of FIG. However, in S103 described in the flowchart of FIG. 3, as described above, the number of people getting off prediction unit 105 is predicted from the difference between the weight when the destination floor is stopped and the weight at the time of departure stored in the boarding history storage unit 108. Calculate the number of people getting off.

The number of people getting off at each destination floor may be the average of the number of people getting off at each destination floor in each time zone (for example, a time zone divided every other hour), or the average number of people getting off at each destination floor on each day of the week. . Of course, the average number of people getting off at each time zone on each day of the week may be used. You may make it consider a holiday or a transfer holiday. The unit of the period to be considered may be set freely by the facility manager in consideration of the business situation of the facility where the elevator is installed. In addition, when the getting-off number predicting means 105 calculates the number of getting-off persons, the number of getting-off persons may be calculated by distinguishing the raising / lowering direction of the car 2.

  As described above, in the present embodiment as well, by calculating the number of people getting off from the car and changing the arrival notification timing, by reducing congestion of waiting customers in front of the car at the landing and shortening the boarding time, Without adding equipment, while preventing collision between passengers getting off from the car and waiting passengers at the landing, it is possible to obtain a safe elevator with higher operational efficiency. Further, in the present embodiment, the actual number of people getting off is calculated based on the past results stored in the boarding history storage means 108 and the actual number of people getting off in time units such as time zone and day of the week. Therefore, there is an effect that an elevator with higher operation efficiency can be obtained.

  Also in the present embodiment, the destination floor registration may be input on the hall operating panel 31. The destination floor registration only needs to be input on at least one of the hall operation panel 31 and the car operation panel 21. The hall operation panel 31 to which destination floor registration can be input may be installed only on a part of the floors, not on all floors.

  Also in this embodiment, three types of timing are set as shown in S104 to S106 in FIG. 3 based on the registration status of the destination floor, the registration status of the hall call, and the number of people getting off. Depending on the situation, the setting may be made more finely.

  Also in this embodiment, the timing of arrival notification has a magnitude relationship of reporting delay A> reporting delay B> no reporting delay, but the value of each reporting delay need not be limited to the above magnitude relationship. The magnitude relationship may be reversed or equal. Each report delay value may be a negative value.

In this embodiment, the number of people getting off is calculated based on the difference between the weight before arrival and the weight before departure. However, the boarding history storage means 108 also stores the change in weight during arrival and calculates the number of people getting off. May be. For example, in the example described in the first column of the table of FIG. 5 of the boarding history storage means 108, the weight before arrival is 312 kg and the weight before departure is 241 kg, but the scale is detected while the car 2 arrives and departs. When the smallest weight detected by the means 103 is 182 kg,
(312Kg-182Kg) / 60Kg ≒ 2 people (241Kg-182Kg) / 60Kg ≒ 1 person, so arrival date: February 25, 2015, arrival time: 16:47:00 on 2nd floor After that, you may consider that you have boarded one person. In this way, the number of people getting off can be more accurately reflected by taking into account the change in weight during arrival, so an elevator with even higher operating efficiency than predicting the number of people getting off can be obtained by the difference between the weight before arrival and the weight before departure. Has the effect.

  In addition, a part of the configuration may be modified or a part thereof may be omitted, and it is considered that the same effect as the present embodiment can be obtained.

Embodiment 3
Hereinafter, the configuration and operation of the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. In FIG. 6, the same reference numerals as those in FIG. 2 denote the same or corresponding parts. The overall configuration of FIG. 1 of the first embodiment and the flowchart of FIG. 3 are the same in this embodiment, and the description thereof is omitted. In addition, the forecasting device described in the claims includes the arrival notification delay determination means 106, the arrival notification output means 107, and the arrival notification device 32 in this embodiment as well.

  Each unit control device 10 in the present embodiment includes inter-unit communication means 109. In the hall call registration means 101 of a certain car, in addition to the hall operation panel 31 of the own car, hall calls of other cars are also registered through the inter-car communication means 109. Further, through the inter-unit communication means 109 of each unit control device 10 of each unit, the elevator control unit 104 of each unit creates an operation command coordinated with each unit according to the operation status of the elevator of each unit.

  The operation of the present embodiment is the same as that in the flowchart of FIG. 3, the number of people getting off is calculated by the number of people getting off the predicting means 105 of each unit, and the number of people getting off is calculated by the arrival notification delay judging means 106. Based on the above, an arrival notification timing is instructed to an arrival notification output means 107 described later. In the case of arrival notification, it may be notified so that it can be distinguished which unit has arrived at the hall 3 (discrimination by voice such as “unit 1 arrives”, discrimination by unit display, etc.).

  In the elevator in which a plurality of units are operating as in the present embodiment, there are many waiters waiting on the same floor as compared to an elevator in which only one unit is operating, and the congestion of waiting customers in front of the landing door 33 is large. Since there is a problem that passengers are more likely to cross each other, the effect of obtaining an elevator with higher operation efficiency can be obtained by reducing congestion of waiting passengers in front of the landing door 33 and shortening the getting-on / off time. Larger than

  Note that the inter-unit communication means 109 of each unit does not communicate with each other, but may communicate through the group management device 8 as shown in FIG. 5, and the group management control device 8 concentrates the operation commands of each unit. It can also be applied to elevators such as

  Also in this embodiment, the destination floor registration may be input on the hall operating panel 31. The destination floor registration only needs to be input on at least one of the hall operation panel 31 and the car operation panel 21. The hall operation panel 31 to which destination floor registration can be input may be installed only on a part of the floors, not on all floors.

  Also in this embodiment, three types of timing are set as shown in S104 to S106 in FIG. 3 based on the registration status of the destination floor, the registration status of the hall call, and the number of people getting off. Depending on the situation, the setting may be made more finely.

  Also in this embodiment, the timing of arrival notification has a magnitude relationship of reporting delay A> reporting delay B> no reporting delay, but the value of each reporting delay need not be limited to the above magnitude relationship, The magnitude relationship may be reversed or equal. Each report delay value may be a negative value.

  Further, it goes without saying that the configuration of the boarding history storage means 108 provided in the elevator arrival notification apparatus in the second embodiment is applied, and that the effect of adding the boarding history storage means 108 is similarly achieved in this embodiment. .

  In addition, a part of the configuration may be modified or a part thereof may be omitted, and it is considered that the same effect as the present embodiment can be obtained.

Embodiment 4
Hereinafter, the configuration and operation of the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. In FIG. 8, the same reference numerals as those in FIGS. 2, 4 and 5 denote the same or corresponding parts. The overall configuration of FIG. 1 of the first embodiment and the flowchart of FIG. 3 are the same in this embodiment, and the description thereof is omitted. In addition, the forecasting device described in the claims includes the arrival notification delay determination means 106, the arrival notification output means 107, and the arrival notification device 32 in this embodiment as well.

  In the elevator according to the present embodiment, a destination prediction type hall operation panel 9 is installed on a specific floor. The destination prediction type hall operation panel 9 communicates with the group management control device 8, assigns a unit to the destination floor inputted from the destination prediction type hall operation panel 9, and communicates between the units and elevator control unit 104 of the corresponding unit. Then, the call is registered in the call registration means 101, and the destination floor is registered in the destination floor registration means 102. The waiting customer is notified by the destination forecast type hall operation panel 9 of the number assigned by the group management control device 8.

  The waiting customer may input the destination floor directly on the destination prediction type hall operation panel 9. Further, as shown in FIG. 8, the waiting customer further includes a destination floor pre-registration unit 91 for registering a destination floor in advance for each user ID for identifying a waiting customer and a matching unit 94 for comparing the user ID. When the user ID is input to the destination prediction type hall operation panel 9, the user ID is collated by the collating means 94, and the destination corresponding to the user ID registered in advance in the destination floor pre-registering means 91 when the collation coincides. The floor may be transmitted to the group management control device 8. The waiting customer possesses an identification body (for example, an IC card) not shown, and reads the user ID from a reading device 92 (for example, an IC card reader) connected to the destination prediction type hall operation panel 9 shown in FIG. You may do it.

  Since the destination floor registration means 102 of each unit stores the destination floor input by the waiting customer from the destination prediction type hall operation panel 9 for each waiting customer until the car 2 of that unit arrives at the corresponding destination floor. You can know the number of people getting off at each destination floor. Waiting customers who have been informed of the number of cars by the destination forecast type hall operation panel 9 usually get on the car 2 of the designated number car, so from the floor where the destination forecast type hall operation panel 9 is installed in the car 2 When there is only a passenger, the number of people getting off at each floor can be ascertained even if there is no expectation of the number of people using the means for predicting the number of people getting off.

  However, there may be a floor hall 3 where the destination forecast type hall operation panel 9 is not installed. Also, even on the floor where the destination forecast type hall operation panel 9 is installed, if the waiting passenger gets into a unit different from the unit that received the notice of the notice, the destination floor is not registered on the destination forecast type hall operation panel 9 There are cases where there are waiting passengers (when one of a plurality of people registers the destination floor).

  The operation of this embodiment is the same as the flowchart of FIG. However, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 8, each unit control device 10 is further provided with a delay determination switching means 110. The delay judgment switching means 110 is stored at least for each waiting passenger registered in the destination floor registration means 102 from the destination forecast type landing operation panel 9 as described above in the present embodiment. 2 modes, the number of people getting off at each floor ascertained by the destination floor) and the number of people getting off mode B (the number of people getting off is assumed to be the number of people getting off predicted by the number of people getting off prediction means 15 of the first to third embodiments). Have. In S103 described in the flowchart of FIG. 3, the delay determination switching unit 110 is set to either the getting-off mode A or the getting-off number mode B based on the flowchart of FIG. .

  In a normal state, for example, when the inside of the car 2 is unattended and stopped, it is assumed that the delay determination switching means 110 is set to the disembarking person number mode A (S401).

  There is no detection of boarding / exiting on the floor where there is no destination forecast type hall operation panel 9 by the scale detection means 13 (N in S402). When the number of passengers is detected (N in S403), the delay determination switching means 110 maintains the getting-off passenger number mode A (S401).

  If the scale detection means 13 detects a boarding / alighting on a floor where there is no destination forecast type hall operation panel 9 (Y in S402), or the scale detection means 103 at the floor where the destination forecast type hall operation panel 9 is located. When the number of passengers different from the previous notice is detected (Y in S403), the delay determination switching means 110 shifts from the disembarking person mode A to the disembarking person mode B (S404).

  When the delay determination switching means 110 in S404 is in the passenger number mode B, the car 2 arrives at the terminal floor (for example, the uppermost floor or the lowermost floor where the elevator services) (Y in S405) or the passengers in the car 2 When the scale detection means 103 detects that all of the passengers have got off (Y in S406), the delay determination switching means 110 shifts from the getting-off person mode B to the getting-off person mode A (S401).

  Conversely, when the car 2 has not arrived at the terminal floor (N in S405) and all the passengers in the car 2 have not got off (N in S406), the delay determination switching means 110 is Alighting person number mode B is maintained (S404).

  As described above, in the present embodiment as well, there is an effect of obtaining an elevator in which finer control of arrival forecast is performed without adding equipment. In addition, there is an effect that an elevator with higher operation efficiency can be obtained by reducing congestion of waiting passengers in front of the car door and shortening the getting-on / off time. Further, in this embodiment, since the timing of the notification delay is determined based on the actual more accurate number of people getting off the destination floor registered by the destination forecast type hall operation panel 9, an elevator with higher operation efficiency can be obtained. Has the effect.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the registration status of the destination floor, the registration status of the hall call, the number of passengers getting off at the destination floor when the delay determination switching means 110 is in the getting-off person mode A, and the delay judgment switching means 110 is in the getting-off person mode B Although three types of timings are set as shown in S104 to S106 in FIG. 3 based on the number of people getting off at the destination floor at the time, it may be set more finely according to the number of people getting off.

  Also in this embodiment, the timing of arrival notification has a magnitude relationship of reporting delay A> reporting delay B> no reporting delay, but the value of each reporting delay need not be limited to the above magnitude relationship. The magnitude relationship may be reversed or equal. Each report delay value may be a negative value.

  In addition, a security gate 93 is provided in the vicinity of the destination prediction type hall operation panel 9, and a waiting person inputs a user ID to the destination prediction type hall operation panel 9, or an identification object (for example, an IC card) (not shown) possessed by the waiting person. The user ID read by the reading device 92 (for example, an IC card reader) is checked against the user ID registered in advance by the checking means 94. If they do not match, the waiting customer may be prohibited from entering. As a result, it is possible to restrict waiting passengers from getting into the elevator without registering the destination floor on the destination forecast type hall operation panel 9, so that the notification delay time is calculated based on the more accurate number of passengers getting off, and the operation efficiency However, there is an effect that a higher elevator can be obtained.

  In addition, when the destination prediction type hall operation panel 9 is installed on all floors, use the getting-off number mode B (the number of getting-off persons is assumed to be the number of getting-off persons using the getting-off number predicting means 15 of the first to third embodiments). In addition, the arrival notification delay determination means 106 uses only the number of people getting off in the getting-off number mode A (the number of people getting off is the destination floor for each floor registered on the destination prediction type hall operation panel 9). May be calculated.

  In addition, the configuration in which the number of people getting off in the present embodiment is the destination floor for each floor registered on the destination prediction type hall operation panel 9 is also applicable to an elevator operated by one unit. It is not necessary to notify the number machine by the destination forecast type hall operation panel 9.

  Further, it goes without saying that the configuration of the boarding history storage means 108 provided in the elevator arrival notification apparatus in the second embodiment is applied, and that the effect of adding the boarding history storage means 108 is similarly achieved in this embodiment. .

  In addition, a part of the configuration may be modified or a part thereof may be omitted, and it is considered that the same effect as the present embodiment can be obtained.

    The present invention can be applied to an elevator arrival notification device that predicts that an elevator car will arrive at a landing.
