The information specific to the elevator 3 includes, for example, information such as car capacity and balance load. Here, the car capacity represents, for example, the upper limit of the load of the car 12. Further, the balanced load represents, for example, the carrying load of the car 12 when the car 12 and the counterweight 13 are in a balanced state. The balanced state of the car 12 and the counterweight 13 is a state in which the total load of the car 12, including its own weight and live load, and the total load of the counterweight 13 are balanced. The counterbalance load is, for example, half the car capacity.

In the elevator system 1, time is divided in advance into a plurality of blocks. In the elevator system 1 of this example, time is divided into blocks of 30 minutes. Attributes are preset for each block. Block attributes include information such as day of the week and time zone.

FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating an example of block attributes in the elevator system 1 according to the first embodiment.

The table shown in FIG. 3 is stored in the schedule information management unit 25, for example. In the elevator system 1, for example, the attribute "A-1" is set for the time period from 00:00 to 00:30 every Monday. As shown in FIG. 3, the attributes of the block including the current time sequentially change from attribute "A-1" to attribute "A-48" every 30 minutes. Thereafter, the attribute of the block including the current time sequentially changes from attribute "B-1" to attribute "B-48" every 30 minutes. Similarly, the attributes of the block including the current time sequentially transition to attribute "G-48", and 30 minutes later, transition to attribute "A-1". Note that on holidays, the attribute of the block containing the current time changes to attribute "H-1" from 23:59 to 00:00 on the previous day, and then changes sequentially to attribute "H-48" every 30 minutes. At 00:00 of the next day, the attribute changes to the attribute corresponding to that day of the week. Here, information such as the day of the week of each date and whether or not it is a holiday is stored in the schedule information management unit 25, for example.

FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing an example of the operation of the elevator system 1 according to the first embodiment.
In FIG. 4, an example of processing related to aggregation and accumulation of information on the operation of the elevator 3 is shown. The process in FIG. 4 starts, for example, at the timing when the current block transitions to the total block to be processed.

In step S101, the totaling unit 27 starts recording driving information regarding the total block. After that, the process of the elevator system 1 proceeds to step S102.

In step S102, the collection unit 26 determines whether the elevator 3 has been operated based on information collected from the control panel 14 and the like. When the elevator 3 is operated, the process of the elevator system 1 proceeds to step S103. On the other hand, if the elevator 3 is not in operation, the process of the elevator system 1 proceeds to step S104.

In step S103, the collection unit 26 collects information on the operation of the elevator 3 from the control panel 14 and the like. The collection unit 26 collects, as operation information, information on the departure time of the car 12 and the load of the car 12 measured by the weighing device 18 at the departure time. At this time, the collection unit 26 may collect information on the weight of the moving object 19 riding in the car 12 at the departure time of the car 12 from the moving object management device 20, for example. The aggregation unit 27 records the information collected by the collection unit 26 as information about the aggregation block. After that, the process of the elevator system 1 proceeds to step S104.

In step S104, the aggregation unit 27 determines whether the current time is included in the time period of the block next to the aggregation block. If the current time is included in the time period of the next block, the process of the elevator system 1 proceeds to step S105. On the other hand, if the current time is not included in the time slot of the next block, that is, if the current time is included in the time slot of the total block, the process of the elevator system 1 proceeds to step S102.

In step S105, the totaling unit 27 totalizes the information recorded as information about the total block. The totaling unit 27 totals the number of pieces of recorded information as the number of driving times. The totaling unit 27 calculates the average value of the live load by dividing the sum of the recorded measured values of the live load by the number of operations. After that, the process of the elevator system 1 proceeds to step S106.

In step S106, the storage unit 28 stores information about the total blocks totaled by the total block 27 in association with the attributes of the total blocks. The storage unit 28 stores, for example, the number of operations and the average value of the live load between the total blocks in association with the attributes of the total blocks. After that, the process of the elevator system 1 proceeds to step S107.

In step S107, the totaling unit 27 finishes recording the driving information for the totaling block. The current block transitions to the next block after the aggregate block. Thereafter, the processing related to the aggregation and accumulation of operation information in the elevator system 1 ends.

FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating an example of operation information collected in the elevator system 1 according to the first embodiment.

The table shown in FIG. 5 is recorded, for example, in the totaling unit 27. In this example, 5 driving information collected for the block with attribute "E-19" from 10:00 to 10:30 on December 3, 2021, and from 10:30 to 11 on December 3, 2021. Information on six driving operations collected for blocks with attribute "E-20" up to :00 is shown. As driving information, the load carried by the user 15 riding in the car 12 may be recorded. The load carried by the user 15 is calculated, for example, by subtracting the weight of the moving object 19 riding on the car 12 from the load measured by the weighing device 18. The weight of the moving body 19 subtracted at this time may be, for example, the weight of the moving body 19 continuously riding in the car 12 during each block. That is, the weight of the moving body 19 that temporarily gets on and off the car 12 between each block may be included in the load carried by the user 15. As shown for the block with attribute "E-20," when the moving object 19 is not riding in the car 12, the weight of the moving object 19 may be recorded as 0 kg. Note that in this example, the car capacity is set to 1000 kg.

The aggregation result for a certain attribute is used in the process of cooperation between the moving body 19 and the elevator 3 in the next block to which the attribute is set. In this example, the aggregation results for blocks with the attribute "E-19" from 10:00 to 10:30 on December 3, 2021 will be calculated in December 2021, the next week when the same attribute "E-19" was set. It is used to process cooperation in the block from 10:00 to 10:30 on the 10th.

FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating an example of the total results accumulated in the elevator system 1 according to the first embodiment.

The elevator system 1 may include a plurality of elevators 3. At this time, each elevator 3 is identified by, for example, an elevator number. In FIG. 6, an example of a table representing the total results for each elevator 3 is shown. The table is stored in the storage unit 28, for example.

FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing an example of the operation of the elevator system 1 according to the first embodiment.
In FIG. 7, an example of processing related to cooperation between the moving body 19 and the elevator 3 based on the tally result by the tallying unit 27 is shown. The process in FIG. 7 starts, for example, at the timing when a block including the current time transitions to a target block to be processed. Note that the process in FIG. 7 may be started in advance at a timing before transition to the target block.

In step S<b>201 , the calculation unit 32 obtains the total results regarding the attributes of the target block from the storage unit 28 . The calculation unit 32 determines whether the total number of driving times for the attribute is equal to or greater than a preset number of times threshold. When the number of times of operation is equal to or greater than the number of times threshold, the process of the elevator system 1 proceeds to step S202. On the other hand, if the number of operations is less than the number of times threshold, the process of the elevator system 1 related to the cooperation between the moving object 19 and the elevator 3 in the target block ends. After the processing is completed, the calculation unit 32 waits until the current block transitions to the next block.

In step S202, the calculation unit 32 calculates the difference between the average value of the live loads of the car 12 compiled for the attributes of the target block and the balance load of the car 12. The calculation unit 32 calculates the difference by, for example, subtracting the average value of the totaled load of the car 12 from the balanced load. Here, the calculation unit 32 uses, for example, the average value of the loads of the users 15 riding in the car 12 as the average value of the loads of the car 12. Alternatively, the calculation unit 32 may use, as the average value of the live load of the car 12, the average value of the live load measured by the weighing device 18 included in the car 12, for example. After that, the process of the elevator system 1 proceeds to step S203.

In step S203, the first requesting unit 30 outputs the load difference calculated by the calculating unit 32 in step S202 to the command unit 23 of the moving body management device 20 as a boarding/alighting request. Here, the boarding/alighting request is a request for one of the moving bodies 19 to board or alight from the car 12 so that the load of the car 12 between the target blocks approaches the balanced load. After that, the process of the elevator system 1 proceeds to step S204.

In step S204, the command unit 23 determines whether the difference in the load output from the first request unit 30 as a boarding/alighting request is greater than or equal to the weight of the lightest mobile body 19 among the mobile bodies 19 of the mobile body system 4. do. Here, the weight of each moving object 19 is acquired from the moving object information management section 22 by the command section 23, for example. If the determination result is NO, the process of the elevator system 1 proceeds to step S205. On the other hand, if the determination result is YES, the process of the elevator system 1 proceeds to step S209.

In step S205, the command unit 23 determines whether any moving object 19 is riding in the car 12. If the determination result is YES, the process of the elevator system 1 proceeds to step S206. On the other hand, if the determination result is NO, the process of the elevator system 1 related to the cooperation between the moving object 19 and the elevator 3 in the target block ends.

In step S206, the command unit 23 notifies the cooperation processing unit 29 that the moving object 19 riding in the car 12 has disembarked. At this time, the command unit 23 may specify and notify the floor on which the mobile object 19 will get off. The floor on which the mobile object 19 gets off is, for example, a floor on which the mobile object 19 performs work, a floor on which the mobile object 19 waits to perform work, a floor on which the mobile object 19 charges, or the like. . Further, the command unit 23 outputs a control command to the movable body 19 riding in the car 12 to get off the car at the floor where the car 12 stops. After that, the process of the elevator system 1 proceeds to step S207.

In step S207, the second requesting unit 31 of the cooperation processing unit 29, based on the notification received from the command unit 23, performs an operation to stop the car 12 at the floor where the moving object 19 riding in the car 12 gets off. The request is output to the control panel 14 of the elevator 3. Here, if the floor on which the mobile object 19 alights is specified in the notification from the command unit 23, the second request unit 31 outputs an operation request to stop the car 12 on the specified floor. After that, the process of the elevator system 1 proceeds to step S208.

In step S208, the mobile object 19 that has received the control command for getting off the car from the command unit 23 gets off the car 12 at the floor where the car 12 has stopped based on the operation request to the elevator 3. After that, the process of the elevator system 1 related to the cooperation between the moving body 19 and the elevator 3 in the target block ends.

In step S209, the command unit 23 selects, from among the plurality of moving bodies 19, a target moving body to be boarded and alighted from the car 12 in response to a boarding/alighting request for the target block. For example, the command unit 23 selects, as the target moving body, the moving body 19 whose weight is closest to the difference in load outputted from the first requesting unit 30 as the boarding/alighting request. The command unit 23 may select a plurality of target moving objects. At this time, the plurality of target moving bodies are selected such that the total weight of each target moving body is close to the difference in load. After that, the process of the elevator system 1 proceeds to step S210.

In step S210, the command unit 23 determines whether the target moving object can board the car 12. The command unit 23 determines that the target moving body can board the car 12, for example, when no work is assigned to the target moving body or when the target moving body is not executing the work. If the target moving object can board the car 12, the process of the elevator system 1 proceeds to step S211. On the other hand, the command unit 23 determines that the target moving object cannot board the car 12, for example, when the target moving object is executing the assigned task. When the target moving body cannot board the car 12, the command unit 23 does not output a command related to cooperation with the elevator 3 to the target moving body. After that, the process of the elevator system 1 related to the cooperation between the moving body 19 and the elevator 3 in the target block ends.

In step S211, the command unit 23 notifies the cooperation processing unit 29 that the target moving object has boarded the car 12. At this time, for example, the command unit 23 specifies and notifies the floor on which the target moving object gets on the car 12. Further, the command unit 23 outputs a control command to the target moving object to board the car 12. Note that if the target moving object is already in the car 12, the command unit 23 outputs, for example, a control command to the target moving object to continue riding in the car 12. Further, when another moving object 19 is riding in the car 12, the command unit 23 outputs a control command to the other moving object 19 to get off the car 12 through the same process as step S206. After that, the process of the elevator system 1 proceeds to step S212.

In step S212, the second requesting unit 31 of the cooperation processing unit 29, based on the notification received from the command unit 23, issues an operation request to stop the car 12 on the floor where the target moving object gets on the elevator car 12. Output to the control panel 14 of No. 3. Note that, when the command unit 23 notifies the cooperation processing unit 29 that the other mobile object 19 alights, the second request unit 31 causes the other mobile object 19 to alight by the same process as step S207. An operation request to stop the car 12 on the floor is output to the control panel 14 of the elevator 3. After that, the process of the elevator system 1 related to the cooperation between the moving body 19 and the elevator 3 in the target block ends.

In step S213, the mobile object 19 that has received the control command for getting on and off from the command unit 23 gets on and off the car 12 at the floor where the car 12 has stopped based on the operation request to the elevator 3. After that, the process of the elevator system 1 related to the cooperation between the moving body 19 and the elevator 3 in the target block ends.

As described above, the elevator system 1 according to the first embodiment includes the elevator 3, the mobile object management device 20, and the cooperation device 5. The elevator 3 includes a car 12 and a counterweight 13 that are interlocked with each other via ropes and sheaves. In the car 12, a weighing device 18 is provided. Elevator 3 transports users 15 riding in cars 12 in facility 2 between a plurality of floors. The mobile body management device 20 includes a command section 23 . The command unit 23 outputs control commands to each moving body 19. Each mobile object 19 moves within the facility 2 and performs its assigned task. The cooperation device 5 causes the moving body 19 and the elevator 3 to cooperate. The cooperation device 5 includes a totaling section 27, a calculation section 32, a first requesting section 30, and a second requesting section 31. The totaling unit 27 totals the load of the car 12 measured by the weighing device 18 between each block, which is divided into blocks in advance, for each attribute set in advance for each block. The target block is the current or subsequent block among the plurality of blocks. The calculation unit 32 calculates the difference between the live load of the car 12 compiled by the aggregation unit 27 for the attribute of the target block, and the live load of the car 12 when the car 12 and the counterweight 13 are in a balanced state. The first requesting unit 30 outputs the load difference calculated by the calculation unit 32 to the commanding unit 23 so that the load of the car 12 between the target blocks approaches the load of the car 12 in the balanced state. A request for getting the moving object 19 on and off the car 12 is output to the command unit 23. The command unit 23 selects a target moving body as the moving body 19 to be boarded and alighted from the car 12 in response to the boarding/alighting request, based on the difference calculated by the calculation unit 32 and the weight of each mobile body 19 . The second requesting unit 31 outputs an operation request to the elevator 3 to operate the elevator 3 so that the target moving object can get on and off the car 12 .
Further, in the first embodiment, the cooperation method for making the moving body 19 and the elevator 3 cooperate includes a totaling step, a calculation step, a selection step, and a request step. The aggregation step is a step of aggregating the load of the car 12 measured by the weighing device 18 between each block for each attribute set for each block. The calculation step is a step of calculating, for the target block, the difference between the live load of the car 12 compiled in the aggregation step for the attributes of the target block, and the live load of the car 12 in the balanced state of the car 12 and the counterweight 13. . The selection step is a step of selecting a target moving object from among the one or more moving objects 19 based on the difference calculated in the calculation step and the weight of each moving object 19. The requesting step is a step of outputting to the elevator 3 an operation request for operating the elevator 3 so that the target moving object selected in the selection step can get on and off the car 12.
Further, the cooperation program according to the first embodiment causes the computer system 21 to execute a totaling step, a calculation step, a selection step, and a request step. Here, the computer system 21 can communicate with the mobile object 19 and the elevator 3.

With such a configuration, even when the load of the car 12 changes between blocks as the user 15 gets on and off the elevator 3, the car is automatically updated based on the past aggregation results of blocks with the same attributes as the relevant block. The target moving object selected so as to reduce the difference between the load of the car 12 and the load of the counterweight 13 gets on and off the car 12 before the user 15. Due to the weight of the target moving object that gets on and off before the user 15, the difference between the load of the car 12 and the counterweight 13 when the elevator 3 is operated is reduced without impairing the convenience of the user 15. . This reduces the electrical load on, for example, the inverter in the control panel 14 that drives the motor of the hoist 10. As a result, it can be expected that the life of part or all of the elevator 3 including the inverter etc. will be extended.

Further, the totaling unit 27 totals the number of times the elevator 3 is operated between each block for each attribute. The first requesting unit 30 does not output a boarding/alighting request to the command unit 23 when the number of times the elevator 3 has been operated, which the totaling unit 27 has calculated for the attribute of the target block, is less than a preset number of times threshold.

With this configuration, for blocks that are operated less frequently and where the effect of reducing the electrical load by getting on and off the moving body 19 is small, the getting on and off of the moving body 19 and the operation of the elevator 3 for that purpose are not performed. Thereby, the energy consumed in the elevator system 1 is reduced.

Next, an example of the hardware configuration of the elevator system 1 will be described using FIG. 8.
FIG. 8 is a hardware configuration diagram of the main parts of the elevator system 1 according to the first embodiment.

The processing circuitry may include at least one dedicated hardware 200 along with or in place of the processor 100a and memory 100b.

When the processing circuit includes a processor 100a and a memory 100b, each function of the elevator system 1 is realized by software, firmware, or a combination of software and firmware. At least one of the software and firmware is written as a program. The program is stored in memory 100b. The processor 100a realizes each function of the elevator system 1 by reading and executing programs stored in the memory 100b.

The processor 100a is also referred to as a CPU (Central Processing Unit), a processing device, an arithmetic device, a microprocessor, a microcomputer, or a DSP. The memory 100b is configured of a nonvolatile or volatile semiconductor memory such as RAM, ROM, flash memory, EPROM, and EEPROM.

Regarding each function of the elevator system 1, some may be realized by the dedicated hardware 200, and other parts may be realized by software or firmware. In this way, the processing circuit implements each function of the elevator system 1 using dedicated hardware 200, software, firmware, or a combination thereof.

Embodiment 2.
In Embodiment 2, points that are different from the example disclosed in Embodiment 1 will be explained in particular detail. As for the features not described in the second embodiment, any of the features in the examples disclosed in the first embodiment may be adopted.

FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing an example of the operation of the elevator system 1 according to the second embodiment.
FIG. 9 shows an example of a process from when a target moving object corresponding to a boarding/alighting request gets on the car 12 until it gets off the car.

In step S301, the command unit 23 outputs a riding command to the selected target moving object. At this time, the command unit 23 may also output to the target moving body a control command for setting the operation mode to the standby mode while riding in the car 12 in the target block. Here, the standby mode is an operation mode in which, for example, the device waits without performing operations such as movement or work until it receives a control command to cancel. After that, the process of the elevator system 1 proceeds to step S302.

In step S302, the target moving object starts boarding the car 12 when the car 12 stops on the floor where the target moving object is located, based on the boarding command. After that, the process of the elevator system 1 proceeds to step S303.

In step S303, the target moving object determines whether getting into the car 12 has been completed. If the ride has not been completed, the elevator system 1 repeats the process of step S303 again, for example after a preset time has elapsed. On the other hand, when the ride is completed, the target moving object notifies the command unit 23 that the ride is completed. Note that, after receiving the notification from the target moving body, the command unit 23 may output a control command for setting the operation mode to standby mode to the target moving body. After that, the process of the elevator system 1 proceeds to step S304.

In step S304, the target moving object switches its operation mode to standby mode. After that, the process of the elevator system 1 proceeds to step S305.

In step S305, the command unit 23 determines whether it is the timing to output a get-off command. The timing at which the alighting command is outputted is, for example, the timing at which it is determined that the target moving body alights from the vehicle based on a boarding/alighting request, etc., when transitioning from the target block to the next block. If it is not the timing to output the exit command, the elevator system 1 repeats the process of step S305 again, for example, after a preset time has elapsed. On the other hand, if it is the timing to output an exit command, the process of the elevator system 1 proceeds to step S306.

In step S306, the command unit 23 outputs a disembarkation command to the target moving object. At this time, the command unit 23 may also output a control command to cancel the standby mode to the target moving body, for example. Alternatively, the exit command may also serve as a control command to cancel the standby mode. After that, the process of the elevator system 1 proceeds to step S307.

In step S307, the target moving object cancels the standby mode. After that, the process of the elevator system 1 proceeds to step S308.

In step S308, the target moving object alights from the car 12 at the floor where the car 12 has stopped, based on the alighting command. After that, the process of the elevator system 1 related to getting on and off the target moving object corresponding to the getting on and off request ends.

As explained above, the command unit 23 of the elevator system 1 according to the second embodiment outputs a control command to the target moving body to set the operation mode to the standby mode while riding the car 12 in the target block. do.

With such a configuration, the energy consumption of the target moving object while riding in the car 12 in response to a boarding/alighting request can be suppressed. Note that each moving body 19 that responds to the request for getting on and off may switch its operation mode to the standby mode without depending on the control command from the command unit 23 after completing getting on the car 12.

Embodiment 3.
In Embodiment 3, points that are different from the examples disclosed in Embodiment 1 or Embodiment 2 will be explained in particular detail. For features not described in Embodiment 3, any of the features disclosed in Embodiment 1 or Embodiment 2 may be adopted.

FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing an example of the operation of the elevator system 1 according to the third embodiment.
In FIG. 10, an example of processing when the mobile body 19 executes a business is shown. In this example, the mobile unit 19 is assigned a task for which no execution time is specified. The work includes, for example, cleaning or inspecting the facility 2. The process in FIG. 10 starts, for example, at a preset timing. In this example, the process in FIG. 10 begins every day at midnight. The process in FIG. 10 is performed for each mobile object 19, for example.

In step S401, the command unit 23 acquires information on the number of driving times accumulated by the accumulation unit 28. In this example, the command unit 23 acquires one day's worth of information regarding the attributes of the same day of the week as the current day of the week. For example, when the current day of the week is Tuesday, the command unit 23 obtains information on the number of times the vehicle has been driven from attribute "B-1" to attribute "B-48." After that, the process of the elevator system 1 proceeds to step S402.

In step S402, the command unit 23 selects during which block the task assigned to the mobile object 19 is to be executed. The command unit 23 selects the blocks to be used for executing the task in the order of the blocks having the attributes with the least number of operations acquired from the storage unit 28 . When a plurality of tasks are assigned to the mobile object 19, the command unit 23 selects between which blocks each task is to be executed. After that, the process of the elevator system 1 proceeds to step S403.

In step S403, the command unit 23 determines whether the current time is included in the block selected as the block in which the mobile object 19 executes its work. If the current time is not included in the time period of the block in which the task is executed, the elevator system 1 repeats the process of step S403 again, for example, after a preset time has elapsed. During this time, the moving object 19 may be waiting at a preset waiting location, or may be boarding the car 12 in response to a boarding/alighting request. On the other hand, if the current time is included in the time period of the block in which the task is executed, the process of the elevator system 1 proceeds to step S404.

In step S404, the command unit 23 outputs to the mobile body 19 a control command regarding the task to be executed during the current block. The mobile body 19 executes the task based on the task command received from the command unit 23. After that, the process of the elevator system 1 proceeds to step S405.

In step S405, the command unit 23 determines whether the task to be executed by the mobile object 19 during the current block has been completed. The determination of completion of the task is made based on, for example, a notification from the mobile object 19 to the command unit 23. If the task is not completed, the process of the elevator system 1 proceeds to step S404. On the other hand, if the task is completed, the process of the elevator system 1 proceeds to step S406.

In step S406, the command unit 23 determines whether all tasks assigned to the mobile object 19 have been completed. When there is a task that has not been completed, the process of the elevator system 1 proceeds to step S403. On the other hand, when all the tasks are completed, the process of the elevator system 1 when the mobile object 19 executes the tasks ends.

As explained above, the command unit 23 of the elevator system 1 according to the third embodiment is configured to perform a total calculation on one or more moving objects 19 to which a task for which an execution time is not specified is assigned. A control command is output so that the time included in the attribute block in which the number of times the elevator 3 is operated is given higher priority as the time for executing the task.

With such a configuration, the mobile body 19 executes its work during a time period when the elevator 3 is operated less often and the users 15 are less frequent. As a result, interference between the mobile body 19 and the user 15 is reduced, so that both the convenience for the user 15 and the efficiency of the work of the mobile body 19 are improved. Note that each mobile body 19 itself may select the time to execute the assigned task. In addition, although the example has been described in which the time to perform the work is selected from within the day, the time to perform the work may vary depending on, for example, the type of work or the characteristics of the mobile object 19 or the facility 2. It may be selected from a week, a half day, or any other period.
