Abstract

In this system with instant allocation of zone calls, the traffic of persons between at least one main stop (HH) and zones in a high building is managed via an elevator system (ABC) consisting of, for example, three elevators (A; B; C). The traffic of persons filling the building, which arrives at the main stop (HH), is symbolised by arrows (P0; P1...Pn) pointing to the elevator group (ABC). The traffic of persons leaving the building, which arrives at the main stop (HH) is symbolised by arrows (Pa) pointing away from the elevator group (ABC). Each elevator user filling the building passes a gate (G0; G1...Gn) allocated to one zone, in which a sensor (S0; S1...Sn) registers the elevator user. The elevator user conveys his desired zone by choosing the appropriate gate (G0; G1...Gn) without manual operation of a call registration device of the elevator control. The signals of the sensors (S0; S1...Sn) are forwarded to the control devices of the elevators (A; B; C) which, in turn, inform the elevator user, before he leaves the gate (G0; G1...Gn), about the respective allocated elevator by means of a display device (D0; D1...Dn). <IMAGE>

Description

[0001]
The present invention relates to an elevator installation for zone operation in a high-rise building with at least one zone, at least one main stop position and an elevator group. The elevator group consists of at least two elevators, in which the elevator car of the elevator consists of at least one compartment and manages the passenger traffic between the main stop and the zone. The facility is provided with an automatic actuator for registering the movement to the zone desired by the elevator user, and the zone call is carried out by the control unit together with the movement conditions considered to be the best. Immediately assigned to the elevator and, after selection of the desired zone, an indicating device is provided for indicating the assigned elevator so that the elevator user knows which elevator to use.
[0002]
A group controller with immediate allocation of destination calls, in which only the floor of a zone can be manually selected at the main stop position, is known from EP-B1 0 301 178. On the other floors, the destination floor is freely selectable, which is assigned to the elevator by the group controller for execution, along with the travel conditions considered the best.
[0003]
On the one hand, by suppressing the selection of several floors at the main stop position, a fixed zone is allocated to each elevator, while destination calls on the other floors are free to elevators with the travel conditions considered the best. Allocated. The mixed operation of fixed zone allocation and free destination call allocation is detrimental to the performance of the elevator group.
[0004]
The present invention provides a solution to this. The present invention features an elevator installation that performs the immediate allocation of zone calls, avoiding the disadvantages of known devices and enabling zone operation independent of intermediate floor operation, as characterized in the claims. It solves the problem that it creates.
[0005]
The advantage achieved by the present invention is that, when the traffic volume at the main stop position is large, the performance of the elevator equipment can be better utilized, and a clearly configured roadway has a high turnover rate. In particular, it can be seen that there is substantially a point in making it available to elevator users. Since other destinations know the destination, it can be seen that there is no waiting time, and that both hands are free when knowing the destination, which is particularly advantageous for disabled people.
[0006]
The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings illustrating an embodiment.
