Description

  The present invention relates to an elevator operation system, and is suitable for application to an elevator operation system that operates an elevator installed in an apartment house such as a condominium that shares an entrance.

  Conventionally, most of the destinations of elevator users are for apartment houses such as condominiums that are from the residence floor to the entrance floor or from the entrance floor to the residence floor, and are easy to operate and can enhance security Elevator operation systems have been proposed.

  For example, in an apartment house, an elevator cab without a destination button and a resident's going out are detected, and an outing detector for registering the elevator cab's call to the resident's residence floor is provided, and the presence or absence of a passenger is detected. There is disclosed an operating system for an elevator for an apartment house in which a landing passenger detector to be detected is provided on each floor other than the entrance floor, and a call of the elevator cab to the detection floor is registered at the time of passenger detection (patent document) 1).

  Here, in an elevator driving system that automatically executes hall call registration on the residence floor by detecting a person who has entered the hallway by opening the entrance door from the living room of the apartment house, for example, the child is in the hallway. When playing, visiting other rooms on the same floor, going out but using the stairs instead of the elevator, you may go out of the room but do not use the elevator. Operation efficiency will be deteriorated with respect to operating wastefully.

  In this respect, an elevator operation system including a call registration cancellation device for canceling landing call registration in a living room is disclosed in order to prevent deterioration in operation efficiency due to wasteful operation of the elevator (see Patent Document 2). .

Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2005-22821 JP 2012-131606 A

  However, it is expensive to install the call registration cancellation device for canceling the hall call registration in the living room, and there is a problem that it takes time and effort. Further, there is a problem that it is troublesome to cancel the hall call registration even though the elevator is not used when going out. Furthermore, there is still a problem that the hall call registration functions after the hall call registration once occurs or until the release operation, and there is a possibility that the elevator may be used wastefully.

  The present invention has been made in consideration of the above points, and based on the prediction of boarding demand for each residence floor, it is possible to perform control with reduced useless landing call registration and improved transportation efficiency at low cost. It is intended to propose a possible elevator operation system.

  DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of an elevator operation system according to the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Note that the present invention is not limited to the present embodiment, and includes various design changes.

(1) 1st Embodiment FIG. 1: is a figure which shows an example of the structure which concerns on the elevator operation system for apartment houses by this Embodiment. The elevator operation system includes an apartment house system 10 and an elevator control device 20.

  On each floor (for example, each residence floor) in the apartment house, a landing passenger detector 11 that detects landing passenger detection information related to the presence or absence of elevator passengers at the landing, and when the resident goes out of the room The out-of-room detector 12 for detecting the lock outside the room by means of a key or a means for identifying an individual (outing detection information relating to the outing of a person from each room), the out-of-room detection information of each room, and the predetermined after going out A boarding demand calculation device 13 that calculates boarding demand (boarding demand prediction information) based on the boarding rate of each room for each time zone calculated from the boarding passenger detection information in time.

  The elevator control device 20 registers a hall call based on information from the boarding demand calculation device 13 (a hall call registration), and a hall call registration device 22 that calls the elevator car to the residence floor hall 21 and a hall call registration. Is provided with a hall push button indicator lamp 23 for indicating passengers at the hall.

  Further, the elevator control device 20 sets the elevator car that has been abandoned and placed in a non-directional standby state to a floor (for example, a floor with the highest boarding demand) where the boarding demand is relatively large based on the boarding demand. You may further provide the standby floor registration apparatus 24 made to wait. In this way, by placing the elevator car in a non-directional standby state on the floor where the passenger demand is high, the occupant can get on smoothly, and the operation efficiency of the elevator in the apartment is improved. Can be increased.

  Next, processing according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating an example of a processing procedure related to the basic operation (main processing) of the elevator operation system.

  When the occupant goes out and gets into the elevator car, each out-of-room detector 12 and the landing passenger detector 11 operate, and information on the time of going out and boarding (outing detection information) , Passenger detection information, etc.) is transmitted to the boarding demand calculation device 13 (step S1). The outing detection information includes information such as the number of times of going out indicating the number of times the resident has gone out of the room, the time of going out indicating the time when the resident has gone out, and the like. The boarding passenger detection information includes information such as the number of boarding times indicating the number of times a resident who has gone out of the room has boarded the elevator car, and the boarding arrival time indicating the time when the resident arrived at the boarding area. For example, in step S1, the out-of-room detector 12 records the number of outings of each room for each predetermined time zone, and the hall passenger detector 11 records the number of boarding for each predetermined time zone.

  When the outing detection information and the landing passenger detection information are recorded for each predetermined time zone, the boarding demand calculation device 13 calculates the boarding rate of each room based on these information (step S2).

  The boarding demand calculation device 13 calculates the boarding demand of each floor based on the calculated boarding rate, and transfers the result determined to be a floor with a large boarding demand to the hall call registration device 22. The hall call registration is performed (step S3).

  A boarding rate calculation process (step S2) for calculating a boarding rate based on the outing detection information and landing passenger detection information of each room will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating an example of a flowchart relating to a boarding rate calculation process.

  First, the boarding demand calculation device 13 determines whether or not the room where the outing is detected on each floor is one room based on the outing detection information (step S21). When it is determined that there is only one boarding demand calculation device 13 (“YES” in step S21), the process proceeds to step S22, and when it is determined that there is only one (“NO” in step S21), again. The process of step S21 is performed. This is because, when a plurality of rooms are detected, it is difficult to determine in which room the passenger detected at the landing is a resident.

  In step S22, the boarding demand calculation device 13 records (aggregates) the number of times of going out of the room where the user has gone out for each predetermined time period. For example, when the occupant demand calculation device 13 detects a resident's outing from a room at 8:05 am, the number of outings for calculating the occupancy rate of the room at 8:00 am is “49”. Then, “1” is added to the number of times of going out “49” to make “50”.

  Subsequently, the boarding demand calculation device 13 detects whether the passenger is detected by the landing passenger detector 11 within a predetermined time after detecting the outing from the room under the condition that the room where the outing is detected is only one room. It is determined whether or not (step S23). When it is determined that the passenger is detected by the landing passenger detector 11 ("YES" in step S23), the boarding demand calculation device 13 moves the process to step S24, and the passenger detection is performed by the landing passenger detector 11. If it is determined that there is not ("NO" in step S23), the process proceeds to step S21.

  In step S24, the boarding demand calculating device 13 records the number of boarding times of the room where the user has gone out for each predetermined time zone. For example, the boarding demand calculation device 13 adds “1” to the number of times of going out “39” and adds “1” to “40” when the number of times of boarding for the occupancy rate calculation in the room where the outing occurred at 8 o'clock in the morning. "

  Subsequently, the boarding demand calculating device 13 calculates a boarding rate (= number of boarding times / number of going out) for each predetermined time zone of each living room (step S25). For example, the boarding demand calculating device 13 may calculate the boarding rate at 8 o'clock in the morning as (the number of times of boarding “40” for calculating the boarding rate at 8 o'clock in the morning) / (the number of times of going out for calculating the boarding rate at 8 o'clock in the morning “ 50 ") = 0.8 is calculated.

  In other words, for example, when a child goes out from a certain room and plays in a passage during a time of 8:00 am on weekdays, it is counted as the number of times of going out, but not counted as the number of times of boarding. Therefore, the occupancy rate of this room in the “weekday morning at 8:00 am” does not change the number of numerators, and the denominator goes out, so the occupancy rate decreases.

  Subsequently, the boarding demand calculation device 13 calculates the average travel time from each room to the landing for each predetermined time zone (step S26). For example, the boarding demand calculating device 13 calculates (the sum of (arrival time-departure time-outing time) at 8 o'clock) / (number of boarding times for boarding rate calculation at 8 o'clock in the morning, "40") as the average travel time. To do.

  Next, a process (call registration process) of calculating the boarding demand of each floor based on the boarding rate of each room and automatically registering the call at the landing based on the boarding demand will be described with reference to FIG. .

  The boarding demand calculation device 13 calculates the total boarding rate of each cabin that has gone out as the boarding demand for each floor (step S31). For example, as shown in FIG. 5, the 5F boarding demand (sum of boarding rates) is “1.4”, and the 3F boarding demand (sum of boarding rates) is “1.0”. That is, the boarding demand calculation device 13 predicts that the boarding demand of at least one person is in 5F and 3F.

  The boarding demand calculation device 13 determines whether or not the boarding demand on each floor is “1” or more (step S32). When it is determined that the boarding demand for each floor is “1” or more, the boarding demand calculation device 13 proceeds to step S33, and when it is determined that the boarding demand for each floor is not “1” or more, the step is again performed. The process is performed in S32. The “1” is a threshold value for boarding demand for the hall call registration, and is a number that can be changed according to the use situation. Details will be described with reference to FIG.

  In step S33, the boarding demand calculating device 13 issues an instruction to the elevator control device 20 so as to perform a downward hall call registration on the floor.

  In the example of FIG. 5, the hall call registration device 22 automatically performs downward hall call registration on 5F and 3F where the boarding demand (predicted number of passengers) is one or more, and the elevator control device 20 has a hall push button. The indicator lamp 23 is turned on. On the other hand, the demand for 4F and 2F is both “0.5”, and there were residents who went out on the floor, but the probability of getting on is lower than 5F and 3F. The hall call registration is not performed ("NO" in step S32 for boarding demand ≧ 1).

  Subsequently, the boarding demand calculation device 13 instructs the elevator control device 20 to set the door opening time after the elevator car arrives at the floor where the hall call registration is performed as the average travel time from the room to the hall. (Step S34). Thus, by setting the door opening time, the resident can get on smoothly, and the operation efficiency of the elevator in the apartment can be further increased.

  Subsequently, the boarding demand calculation device 13 clears the boarding demand for the arrived floor (step S35).

  According to the above-described processing, by performing landing call registration on a floor with a large boarding demand, it is possible to reduce useless landing call registration without making a landing call registration on a floor with low demand in advance, and to reduce transportation efficiency at a low cost. Improved control can be performed.

  Drawing 5 is an explanatory view showing the situation in a building when a resident goes out.

  As shown in FIG. 5, based on the outing detection information, the room 101 in which the outing is detected and the room 102 in which the outing is not detected are separated at predetermined time zones (in this example, the room 101 and The room 102 is identified by the presence or absence of diagonal lines). In addition, in the obtained occupancy rate of each room, a resident who goes out and has a high boarding frequency (for example, the room 103 with a boarding rate of “0.9”) and a medium-frequency occupancy for every predetermined time period. A passenger (for example, a room 104 with a boarding rate “0.5”) and a resident who does not get in a lot (for example, a room 105 with a boarding rate “0”) are learned by the boarding demand calculation device 13.

  Further, FIG. 5 shows the result of calculating the boarding demand for each floor, and the hall call registration in the downward direction of the boarding of the boarding demand exceeding the boarding demand threshold is performed, and the hall push button indicator light is displayed. 23 is turned on.

  FIG. 6 is an explanatory diagram showing boarding demand thresholds for hall call registration.

  For example, assuming a mini-apartment that is often driven by one or two people, a value lower than “1” (in this example, “0.5”) is set as the threshold for boarding demand The driving efficiency is lowered and the probability of useless landing call registration is increased, but the convenience of the resident is improved.

  Also, for example, assuming a small apartment that is often driven by two or more people, a value higher than “1” (in this example, “1.5”) is set as the threshold for boarding demand , Driving efficiency is increased, the probability of useless landing call registration is reduced, and the energy saving effect is increased.

  According to the threshold value of the boarding demand, it is possible to adjust whether to give priority to the convenience of residents or to prioritize the energy saving effect.

  According to the above-described configuration, the go-out detection information and the landing passenger detection information are stored in the apartment house, the boarding demand of each floor is predicted from these learning data, and the hall call registration is performed on the floor with the large demand. Will be able to.

  According to this Embodiment, the operation efficiency of the elevator in a housing complex can be improved appropriately.
