Description

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a passenger transportation facility suitable for transporting a large number of passengers to vertically distant points, a vehicle used therefor, and a method of operating the passenger transportation facility.

[Conventional technology]

Generally, as a facility for transporting a large amount of personnel in the vertical direction, an elevator device is used as shown in, for example, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 59-153773 and Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 61-188384. Some are organized in columns.

In addition, a self-propelled car with passengers being carried is also moved from one hoistway to another hoistway to raise and lower it.
58-220068.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention]

In the elevator device configured as described above, the flow of passengers is discontinuous in order to allow passengers to get on and off while the car is stopped in the hoistway. In particular, for large-volume transportation with a large number of passengers in the car room, the time required for passengers to get in and out of the car room is longer than the time required for the car to move up and down. The time required to get on and off at the destination after getting in the cab is not so short, and the entry / exit to the cab is always crowded.

As described above, the above-mentioned conventional technology is suitable for transporting a large number of passengers at a high speed only once, but no consideration is given to the point of continuous transport, and therefore, within a fixed time. There was a limit to the number of people that can be transported, that is, the transportation capacity.

An object of the present invention is to provide a passenger transportation facility capable of efficiently transporting a large amount of personnel to vertically separated points.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a passenger transportation facility and an operating method capable of moving up and down another vehicle while the passenger is getting on and off the vehicle.

Still another object of the present invention is to provide a passenger transportation facility capable of improving transportation capacity without increasing hoistways for raising and lowering a vehicle.

[Means for solving the problem]

In one aspect of the present invention, a single hoistway for raising and lowering a vehicle, and a plurality of the vehicles moving up and down in the single hoistway are stopped at positions other than the hoistway to allow passengers to get on and off. The vehicle is provided with a boarding / alighting section and a storage place for the vehicle, which is provided at a position different from the boarding / alighting section and the boarding / alighting path so as to communicate with the hoistway. The vehicle may be configured so that the inside of the hoistway is connected to the hoistway drive system via a connecting means, and the boarding / alighting section moves away from the hoistway drive system.

In addition, an operation method may be adopted in which a passenger moves up and down another vehicle into the hoistway while getting on and off the vehicle that is stopped at the boarding / alighting section.

[Action]

In the passenger transportation facility having the above-described configuration, the passenger can get in and out of the vehicle at a boarding / alighting section different from the hoistway, so that the hoistway is not blocked while the passenger gets in and out of the vehicle. Therefore, another vehicle can be moved up and down in the hoistway while the passenger is getting on and off the vehicle at the boarding / alighting section. In this way, since the hoistway can be dedicated only to the lifting and lowering of the vehicle, the transportation capacity of passengers can be improved. In addition, the presence of a storage area for vehicles allows the number of vehicles to be placed in the loading / unloading section to be adjusted depending on the congestion of passengers, so passengers do not have to wait for a long time to get on the vehicle, and passenger frustration can be eliminated. Therefore, the deterioration of service can be suppressed.

Can improve the transportation efficiency.

By the way, in the above-mentioned embodiment, the point is to simply improve the transportation capacity to the vertically distant points,
In other transportation, for example, in the underground space shown in FIG. 1, it becomes necessary to operate the train in association with the train schedule of the subway. Therefore, the operation of the passenger transportation facility capable of efficiently transporting the passengers of the train operating the schedule with a short waiting time will be described with reference to FIGS. 14 and 15.

First, referring to FIG. 14, the building 3 and the underground space 2 on the ground surface 1
Are connected to each other through a hoistway 6, and a hoisting frame 15 as a holder is installed in the hoistway 6 so that the hoisting frame 15 can be hoisted up and down, and a rope 14 is coupled to the hoisting frame 15, and the rope 14 is connected to a motor.
A point around which a net wheel 13 driven by 12 and a point at which a vehicle 17 can be loaded on the hoisting frame 15, the hoistway 6
A subway station 8 is provided to allow the passengers to get on and off by descending the vehicle 17 from the elevating frame 15. Further, the underground space 2 communicates with a landing 5 for a subway train 4 via a communication passage. This is the same as in FIG. The train 4 is operated according to a command from the operation management device 71 in the operation command room 70. The operation command from the operation management device 71 to the train 4 is transmitted via the signal lines 72A and 72B and the signal transfer device 4C. On the other hand, the operation management device 71 is connected to a control device 73 for controlling the lifting and lowering of the lifting frame 15 via a data communication circuit 74, and the train operation information such as train arrival time information and train destination information is controlled by the control device. Is transmitted to the device 73. The control device 73 causes the elevating frame 15 to operate according to the operation of the train 4 based on the train operation information. Next, the operation of the elevating frame 15 and the operation of the train 4 will be described with reference to the flow chart of FIG. First, the passenger transportation facility is activated [I] to start normal service. In this state,
The control device 73 receives the train operation information of the subway from the operation management device 71 of the operation command room 70 [II]. It is judged whether this reception is a certain time before the train arrives [III], and if it is not a certain time before, the normal service is continued as it is, and if it is a predetermined time, the elevating frame required for transfer to the train is transferred. Calculate the number of vehicles [IV], select the lifting frames for the calculated number of vehicles [V],
The elevating frame is temporarily stopped at the reference boarding / alighting section [VI]. Next, a display for performing connection operation with the train is displayed in the vehicle inside the stopped elevating frame and its reference boarding / alighting section [VII], and the departure time of the connected train, the destination, and the arrival number service are provided. Furthermore, for elevators stopped at the standard boarding / alighting section, calls from other boarding / alighting sections will not be accepted. Before arrival, we will land and drop passengers [VIII] and wait for boarding / unloading from the train. Next, it is judged whether or not a fixed time has passed since the train arrived [IX], and if the fixed time has passed, the elevating frame is departed to the connecting floor [X]. In addition, even if the fixed time has not elapsed, it is determined whether the passengers in the vehicle are full [XI]. If the passengers are full, the passenger departs to the connecting floor [X]. IX]. After arriving at the connecting floor and unloading passengers, disconnect from the train operation and resume normal operation [XII].

According to the present embodiment, it is possible to prevent passengers connecting to the train from delaying the arrival of the train and to reduce the waiting time for the passengers getting off the train.

Further, in the above embodiment, when the number of hoistways and the number of operating hoisting frames are small, the operation of all hoisting frames is related to train operation, and when there are many hoistways and the number of operating hoisting frames is large. The number of operating hoistways and hoisting frames may be set according to the time of day when the train is used. Further, an additional hoistway may be provided to provide a dedicated passenger transportation facility that operates only in accordance with the operating schedule of the train.

By the way, in the above-mentioned embodiment, the elevating frame that ascends and descends in the hoistway is hung by a rope, and this rope is wound around a net wheel to drive it. The elevating frame may be moved up and down by winding or unwinding. However, in both cases, the elevating frame is reciprocated in the vertical direction, and in order to further enhance the transportation capacity, the vehicle must be made larger and the ascending and descending speed must be increased.
Increasing the size of the vehicle and increasing the lifting speed is expensive and impractical at this time. Therefore, the transportation facility shown in FIG. 16 to FIG. 19 is preferable as the facility capable of moving the vehicle without interruption.

That is, to explain the outline with reference to FIG. 16 to FIG. 19, for example, two hoistways 46, 47 are provided at intervals between the inside of the building 3 on the surface of the earth and the underground space 2, and the two Hoistway 46,
The upper and lower end portions of 47 are respectively an upper horizontal passage 48 and a lower horizontal passage 49.

By the way, in each of the above-described embodiments, the vehicle is designed to travel on a moving passage by a drive device mounted on the floor or a drive device on the floor. For example, as shown in FIG. 20, two hoistways 46, 47 are provided. The upper horizontal passage and the lower horizontal passage that communicate with each other are provided with the moving passages 9F of the upper boarding section 7 and the lower boarding section 8, which are arranged side by side.
By forming a downward slope from 55B to 55A and a downward slope from the lower entrance / exit 56A to 56B in the lower boarding / alighting section 8, the vehicle 53 can freely travel. At that time, the traveling speed of the vehicle 53 needs to be controlled by an external braking device or an on-board braking device. With such a configuration, a device for driving the vehicle 53 becomes unnecessary.

FIG. 21 shows an example of the display device for the vehicle and the boarding / alighting section. For example, the time during which a passenger moves into the hoistway after boarding the vehicle 60 causes mental distress (for example, irritability) to the passenger. . It is important to alleviate this distress, and once the passengers have finished boarding, the vehicle 60 should be operated at a low speed toward the hoistway. In addition to this, an operation guide device such as a departure time indicator 61 and a voice display device 62 for displaying the departure waiting time in a countdown method is provided in the vehicle 60, and a window 63 is provided to provide a wall surface as shown in FIG. 16, for example. A multi-vision device 64 may be provided to alleviate the passengers' emotional distress. This is a service for passengers who have boarded the vehicle 60, but for users in the platform 10, information guide devices 65A to 6A for each vehicle number on the nearby wall surface.
5C will be provided to display the waiting time for departure and the status of each unit to guide the operation of vehicles and provide services. This allows the user to freely select and board the vehicle 60.

In addition, in the vehicle 60, there are chairs 66, handrails 67, hanging skins.
68 and the like can be appropriately provided to improve passenger safety.

〔The invention's effect〕
