Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial applications]   The present invention relates to an elevator operation information notification device, and in particular,
Manage elevator operation to eliminate congestion as early as possible
Related to elevator operation information notification device suitable for
It is. [Conventional technology]   A conventional device is described in, for example, Japanese Patent Publication No. 48-15502.
As shown, the usage status is detected and multiple elevators are
The vehicle in the driving mode corresponding to the traffic demand situation.
Inverted type is displayed on the elevator monitor for maintenance.
Was.   In addition, when selecting the driving style when going to work,
When returning the elevator to the lobby,
Divided express operation to divide the floor into upper and lower floors with a unit,
Services on floors with low traffic demand, such as basement floors and rooftop floors
Improve transportation capacity by implementing operation control to cut service
Once had. Also, during such control, "express"
Which indicator light or “upper service unit and lower service unit
An indicator for "guidance" was provided at the landing and on the operation panel.   As described in Japanese Patent Publication No. 54-32214,
Range to respond to hall calls to
Hand to set the enclosure (service zone) for each elevator
Steps, and furthermore, this service zone
And display them in an easy-to-read format, and visualize the operating status of the control device.
Malfunction during elevator adjustment, inspection and maintenance
It is easy to find.   However, in these conventional techniques, it occurs at the time of lunch or the like.
Inadequate to meet traffic demands with complex traffic flows
And inform the user which call to answer
Information was insufficient.   As a related system, as of June 10, 1986,
As described in the Asahi Shimbun, frustration waiting for a bus
Estimated arrival time at each bus stop is automatically
Digital display, which reduces the number of users
Both have been improved so that you can only know when the bus is coming
There is something.   In addition, there are the following prior arts. D
In order to make the operation of the elevator smoother,
It has been widely used to reflect passenger traffic
Therefore, this traffic volume has been
Detection methods have been proposed that differ from various viewpoints.
For example, in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 55-56963, the car weight is detected.
An attempt to determine the number of passengers for each floor was disclosed in
-140147 discloses that the demand for a specific floor
What was detected by the change in the load in the cage,
Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 50-125446 discloses that the number of passengers in a car
And the change in the call to the destination floor in the car
Detects the number of passengers by destination floor by direction, etc.
Has been proposed.   However, these are all boarding on each floor
It detects traffic volume and getting off traffic, and how to get in
Because it is not a forecast of the number of passengers by direction,
Is not very useful for improving elevator operation in
Never   That is, during lunch, etc.,
It increases sharply, causing full passage. For example, the second floor
If a dining floor is installed on a lower floor such as a basement floor,
For users on the second floor and the basement floor that are relatively close to the basement floor,
Passenger traffic on the upper floors
Cause the waiting time to become abnormally long.
You.   For this reason, from the upper floor relatively lower floor to the dining room floor
Some users who are going to go to the cafeteria
UP direction (upward direction) opposite to DN direction (downward direction) where the floor is
Press the hall call button in the direction of
Anyway, the person who gets in the car that arrived first appears
You.   Then, such a person appeared, and the number of them increased.
As a result, the number of full traffic increases,
Service for DN direction hall calls on lower floors
Will begin to fall.   This will be described with reference to FIG.
There is a cafeteria on the 1st floor (1st floor) in the lobby and a 2nd floor
From 3F to 12F, service is available from 13F to 19F in the express zone
If you set up a building on the floor,
Let's hang.   The first elevator 1E of the three parallel elevators has 14F in the UP direction
In service, second unit 2E is serving 13F in the UP direction
On the other hand, the third unit 3E has an express zone DN to 2F
It is assumed that the vehicle is traveling in the direction. Note that 15U to 19U are
1D to 19D are DN direction hall calls.
Represented respectively.   At this time, each elevator provides services from the current location.
The service route until returning to the dining room floor 2F is l₁,
l_Two, l_ThreeAnd the floor indicated by the dashed line
It represents.   Therefore, as is clear from FIG.
During any congestion, from 18D DN call 18D to 13F DN call 13D
May be unable to service due to full capacity,
The service on the DN side is lower than that on the UP side. Also below
The more the floor is, the more DN calls will pass
The probability of getting higher is that much,
Also, the proportion of passengers heading in the DN direction will increase.   As a result, the time required for the UP travel becomes longer,
The ratio of elevators operating to the top floor increases,
Longer round-trip time reduces transport capacity
And make matters worse.   By the way, in order to prevent such a situation from occurring,
The following methods can be considered.   That is, the elevator in the direction opposite to the direction toward the destination floor
More people get on board
Serviceability when there is not most by simulation
And clarify the contrast between the two, PR
Appeal to the morals of the person, someone trying to get in the opposite direction appears
To avoid it.   However, this method can only be used in private buildings
Is realistic, but otherwise, or unspecified
It is unrealistic and difficult to implement in hotels with users.   Therefore, the elevator group management control device
Use a device that has the function of learning the traffic flow of
As a result, the above situation is forecasted in advance, and predetermined group management is performed.
A method of performing control is conceivable. That is,
Measure, and if necessary, for example,
The elevator hit is a hall with a short wait time in the UP direction
Pass without answering the call
In the case of a ceremony type, the guidance is put on hold or arrived
If the car whose prediction time is equal to or greater than the predetermined value is
Control by selecting a beta).
Do it.   In Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 58-95085, ultrasonic waves and ITV are applied.
To detect passengers in the car and the number of waiting passengers in the hall.
Is assigned with the number of passengers limited based on the data of   In Japanese Patent Publication No. 57-40066, the number of halls
Predict the preceding floor from the preceding floor ratio and calculate the arrival time of the car
There are proposals for improving the prediction accuracy.   However, none of these have call allocation control.
To improve serviceability and improve serviceability.
For crowded rides on the general floor at lunchtime
Improve serviceability due to lack of transportation capacity
There was a problem that it was useless.   In addition, when going to work, as described above, several
Above the service floor above the elevator)
Transport capacity by dividing service into layers and lower layers
Effect of improving the number of people waiting in the lobby
In some cases, a split express operation with
Traffic demand is uncertain at the time of elevator production
And the surroundings of the building (such as eating out and resting)
A place suitable for a break is nearby.)
Floors (in some cases, buildings spread over two floors)
Also varies greatly depending on the layout of the building.
Is a uniform control method like when going to work.
Service floor divisions are generally difficult to implement.
Was. [Problems to be solved by the invention]   The above-mentioned conventional technology is designed to cope with an increase in traffic volume such as during lunch.
And no fundamental remedial measures have been taken,
It takes a long time to dissolve, and as a result, hall calls in both directions
Recording and getting into the reverse elevator, causing congestion
There was a problem that prolonged the resolution of the problem.   An object of the present invention is to provide a service for congestion such as at lunch.
To reduce the loss of [Means for solving the problem]   The present invention is based on the following conditions:
Means for detecting at least one lack of transport capacity;
In response to the output of
The same one-way hall call among the vertical hall calls
Means for prohibiting a response to the request.   In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the lunch hour
When the shortage of transportation capacity is detected at the beginning of
Prohibit answering hall calls in ascending direction on floor
Means. In addition, the odd number of floors above the dining floor
Response to a down hall call on a floor or even floor
It is desirable to provide a means for prohibiting this. [Action]   Taking lunch as an example, all congestion during lunch etc.
Answering calls, the transportation capacity is insufficient, and
Live and get into a crowded basket without getting full
Refused to ride because of hating
Riding in the opposite direction to get on the elevator in the opposite direction because you can not get on
A car occurs. Lunch time due to any of these occurrences
If a shortage of transportation capacity is detected at the beginning of the obi,
For answering hall calls in ascending direction on the second floor
To increase demand for users with low demand
Curtails services and, in turn, lowers demand
Not only redirect the service to the passengers, but also
Block and mitigate unnecessary deterioration of transportation capacity. By this
The service decline during congestion, such as during lunch, has been significantly improved.
It is.   In addition, skip to service only odd or even floors
When driving, about half of the users use the stairs for the first floor.
Use also mitigates the inherent shortage of transportation capacity.
You.   In addition, the current and future operation management
Display on boarding platform or use notification means such as voice
If you notify the non-service floor,
It is possible to prevent the user from being irritated in the operation. 〔Example〕   Hereinafter, the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 1, FIG. 6 to FIG. 8, and FIG.

If you need 28 seconds when driving on the 2nd and 13th floors,
Time RTT₁Is RTT₁= 14 x 18 + 2 x 28 = 308 seconds are required
What is the maximum number of people that can be transported in a given number per 5 minutes?
Assuming a capacity of 20 people, Becomes   On the other hand, operation management is performed as shown in FIG.
And the number of stops per lap becomes seven, and the lap time RTT_TwoIs
It looks like this: RTT_Two= 2 x 18 + 38 + 3 x 22 + 28 = 168 (seconds)   In addition, here, driving from 2F to 19F and service on 19F
38 seconds, and 22 seconds for traveling and servicing between floors
It was assumed that.   Transport capacity PN at this time_TwoIs And increase the transportation capacity by 1.8 times by operation management
It can be easy.   In other words, elevators whose root cause is insufficient transport capacity
Can be eliminated.   Fig. 23 is an operation management mainly to eliminate congestion in the first half of lunch
