<Examples of buildings that require transit guidance>
As described above, in a building that provides passenger services with a plurality of elevators, there may be a floor (hereinafter, abbreviated as “limited floor”) that only a specific car serves, in which case It is necessary to provide passengers with connection guidance so that they can use a suitable transfer car that can be operated to the limited floor for some passengers who cannot operate to the limited floor as the destination floor.

  FIG. 1 is an explanatory diagram schematically showing a specific example of a building that requires transit guidance. Hereinafter, a specific example will be described with reference to FIG. In the same figure (a)-(d), the structure where the elevators 10A-10D which go up and down by the shafts 20A-20D are used in the 1st basement (B1)-7th floor (7F) building is adopted.

  In the example of the upper difference shown in FIG. 1 (a), the elevators 10C and 10D have an unserviceable floor 50 (limited floor) on the 6th and 7th floors, and the elevators 10A and 10B can operate on all floors. It is. Therefore, the elevators 10A and 10B and the elevators 10C and 10D have different upper levels where serviceable upper floors are different.

  In the example of the lower difference shown in FIG. 1 (b), the elevators 10A and 10B have a non-serviceable floor 50 on the first basement floor, and the elevators 10C and 10D can operate on all floors. Therefore, the elevators 10A and 10B and the elevators 10C and 10D have different lower steps where serviceable lower floors are different.

  In the example of the upper and lower steps shown in FIG. 1C, the elevators 10C and 10D have the unserviceable floor 50 on the sixth and seventh floors, and the elevators 10A and 10B have the unserviceable floor 50 on the first basement floor. Yes. Therefore, the elevators 10A and 10B and the elevators 10C and 10D have different upper and lower levels where serviceable upper and lower floors are different.

  In the zoning example shown in FIG. 1 (d), the elevators 10A and 10B have the unserviceable floor 50 on the fifth to seventh floors, and the elevators 10C and 10D have the unserviceable floor 50 on the second and third floors. Yes. Therefore, the elevators 10A and 10B and the elevators 10C and 10D have different upper floors and middle stages where service is possible. Note that zoning means that a physically operable floor is intentionally set as the unserviceable floor 50.

  In a general elevator system in which a hall call device equipped with buttons according to up and down (up and down) directions is provided at the elevator hall, passengers who have the unserviceable floor as the destination floor have boarded some of the cars having the unserviceable floor In other words, a case where the assigned car or the first-arrived car is the above-mentioned part of the car will be described.

  When a passenger enters a certain car having a disabled service floor, a destination (floor) button for instructing the disabled service floor is not installed in the selected car, and among the provided destination buttons, For example, it is necessary to press a destination button on the transfer floor near the destination floor and transfer to another car on the transfer floor.

  For example, in the example of the upper difference shown in FIG. 1A, when a passenger on the first floor having the seventh floor as a destination floor happens to get on the elevator 10C (no destination button on the sixth floor, the seventh floor) You need to press the destination button on the 5th floor, which will be the transit floor, get off at the 5th floor, press the up hall call button at the 5th floor, change to the arriving elevator 10A or 10B, and go to the 7th floor there were.

  In response to such a problem, a destination button for designation corresponding to all floors including a disabled service floor is included in all the cars, and the destination button indicating the disabled service floor is pressed in the car. In some cases, it is possible to determine the transfer car from the state of the call or the car based on the transfer floor determined by a predetermined method, or to determine both the transfer floor and the transfer car using a predetermined algorithm. This is disclosed in Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2 described above.

  The elevator system according to the present invention is an elevator group having an unserviceable floor 50 in some of the cars as shown in FIG. It provides passengers with easy-to-understand information on connecting floors and connecting cars.

<Embodiment>
(overall structure)
FIG. 2 is an explanatory diagram showing the configuration of the elevator system according to the embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 2, in the present embodiment, an elevator group including three cars (elevators) 3 </ b> A to 3 </ b> C is a control target.

  In FIG. 2, the group management device 1 uses the car control devices 2A to 3C to store the position and speed of the cars 3A to 3C, the open / close state information of the car doors 30A to 30C, and the destination floor information registered from the car call devices 32A to 32C. 2C, and obtains call information from the landing call devices 51 and 52, determines an optimal car operation control method, and assigns an operation command for each car, for example, allocation information for the call to the car, and an automatic transfer function. A command is issued to the car control devices 2A to 2C as an additional call necessary for the necessary connection. It should be noted that functions other than the automatic transfer function, which will be described in detail later, can be realized in the existing group management apparatus, and therefore the components are not shown in FIG.

  In addition, the group management device 1 determines whether the passenger car on which the passenger is on the transit floor or the destination floor designated by the passenger using the in-car calling device 32 is a non-serviceable floor that cannot be operated directly. If one of the transfer numbers (transfer cars) is defined, the other is determined, or if neither is defined, both are determined. Then, the group management device 1 automatically registers a transfer destination call with the transfer floor of the transfer car as the destination floor and a transfer hall call so that the transfer car can be boarded from the transfer floor. It has an automatic connection function.

  The car control devices 2A to 2C collect state information such as the positions and speeds of the cars 3A to 3C and the opening and closing of the car doors 30A to 30C and transmit them to the group management device 1, and also send operation commands from the group management device 1. Thus, the cars 3A to 3C are operated, the display of the car indicators 31A to 31C and the landing indicators 4A to 4C, the light emission control of the destination buttons of the car call devices 32A to 32C, the recognition of the destination buttons, and the like. Do.

  The car opening / closing doors 30A to 30C, the car indicators 31A to 31C, and the car call devices 32A to 32C are facilities constituting the car 3A to 3C.

  The in-car indicators 31A to 31C display the current position information of the cars 3A to 3C. The in-car indicators 31A to 31C have a configuration capable of multicolor display using multicolor LEDs, liquid crystal panels, or the like. The current position information means the current position of the cars 3A to 3C, the ascending / descending direction, and the like.

  The in-car calling devices 32A to 32C are individually configured with designated destination buttons corresponding to all the floors including the unserviceable floor, and passengers who have boarded the cars 3A to 3C can call the in-car calling device 32A. A car call specifying a destination floor can be made by operating ~ 32C. Each of the car calling devices 32A to 32C is provided with a destination button capable of emitting multicolor light by being incorporated inside a multicolor LED or the like.

  The landing indicators 4A to 4C are indicators provided at the landings of the respective floors, and display arrival information of the cars 3A to 3C. The hall indicators 4A to 4C have a configuration capable of multicolor display by a multicolor LED or a liquid crystal panel. The arrival information means information that can be recognized although the car is approaching or arriving, such as information indicating the current position and the ascending / descending direction of the cars 3A to 3C.

  The landing call devices 51 and 52 are provided at the landings on each floor, and passengers in the cars 3A to 3C use the landing call devices 51 and 52 to press the button indicating the direction of the target floor (upward and downward), A landing call can be made to instruct the stop of a car operating in a specified direction.

(Automatic transfer function of group management device 1)
Next, a detailed configuration of a portion related to the automatic transfer function of the group management apparatus 1 that is highly related to the present invention will be described. In order to provide an automatic connection function, as shown in FIG. 2, the group management device 1 includes a destination call information acquisition unit 11, a direct access determination unit 12, a transfer determination unit 13, a transfer call registration unit 14, and a transfer The display color control unit 15 includes a car destination button display color control unit 16, a car indicator display color control unit 17, and a hall display device display color control unit 18. In addition, regarding the group management apparatus 1, illustration and description of components that are less relevant to the automatic transfer function are omitted.

  The destination call information acquisition unit 11 acquires a car call newly added from the car control devices 2A to 2C, that is, a new car call. That is, the destination call information acquisition unit 11 acquires new car call information that indicates the destination floor from the operating car among the cars 3A to 3C.

  From the serviceable floor information regarding the new car call and the car that has made the new car call that designates the destination floor, the direct go / no-go determination unit 12 determines whether or not a direct service to the destination floor by the car is possible for the new car call. If the service is impossible, the new car call is output as a non-direct call.

  The transit determination unit 13 determines the transit floor and the transit car for the non-directly possible call output from the direct availability determination unit 12, determines the transit car as a non-directable call registration, and Output decision information.

  As a method of determining the transfer floor and the transfer car of the transfer determination unit 13, for example, the transfer floor is the serviceable floor of the non-directly accessible call registration car closest to the non-directable destination floor, Of the cars that can be used for direct service, arrive at the connecting floor after the time tx when the registered car that cannot be used for direct service arrives at the transit floor, and the arrival time ty and the arrival time of the non-direct direct call registration car. A method of determining a car having a minimum difference from tx as a transit car is conceivable.

  Further, as another determination method, the following method can be considered. The f-th floor arrival time t (x, f) of the non-direct call registration car x is calculated for each floor f. Then, the f-floor arrival time t (y, f) of the car y capable of direct service to the destination floor is also calculated for each floor f, and t (x, f) is smaller than t (y, f). The floor f with the smallest difference may be determined as the transfer floor, and the car y at that time may be determined as the transfer car.

  The transfer call registration unit 14 cannot perform direct access among the car control devices 2A to 2C based on the determination information that indicates the non-direct direct call registration car, the transfer floor, and the transfer car determined by the transfer determination unit 13. A first transfer instruction is output to the car control device 2 corresponding to the call registration car, instructing registration of the transfer floor as a transfer destination floor call.

  If the non-directly possible call registration car is the car 3A and the transfer floor is 4F, the transfer determining unit 13 instructs the car control device 2A to register 4F as a transfer destination floor call. The transit first command is output. As a result, the car control device 2A controls the car 3A to stop on the fourth floor.

  Further, the transfer call registration unit 14 calls the transfer floor call to the car control device corresponding to the transfer car among the car control devices 2A to 2C based on the determination content of the transfer determination unit 13. Is output as a transit second command instructing registration.

  If the transfer car is the car 3C and the transfer floor is 4F, the transfer determining unit 13 instructs the car control device 2C to register 4F as a transfer destination floor call. 2 Command is output. As a result, the car control device 2C controls the car 3C to stop on the fourth floor.

  The transit display color control unit 15 determines the transit display color based on the information on the non-directly-directed call registration car, the transit floor, and the transit car in the decision information output from the transit determination unit 13.

  The determined transit display color is the destination button corresponding to the destination floor of the in-car call device 32 in the non-direct call registration car, the destination button corresponding to the transfer floor, and the in-car indicator 31 in the non-direct call registration car. This is the display color of the current position information when instructing the transfer floor at and the arrival information of the hall indicator such as the hall indicator 4 of the transit car.

  The connection display color is determined by, for example, determining a unique display color for each car in advance, storing the storage display color storage data in the car destination button display color control unit 16, and connecting cars. May be selectively determined as the transit display color.

  FIG. 3 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of storage data for transit display colors in a table format. As shown in the figure, transit display colors that indicate “red”, “blue”, and “green” as the unique colors of Unit A (Cage 3A), Unit B (Cage 3B), and Unit C (Cage 3C) Use storage data. Therefore, when the No. A machine is determined as a transit car, the transit display color is determined as “red”.

  In addition, a plurality of color pairs, for example, the number of products of the number of cars and the number of floors, are prepared as storage data for transit display colors, and from that list, other direct registrations that are currently not registered are registered. A color that is not used in the car may be selectively determined as the connection display color.

  FIG. 4 is an explanatory diagram showing another example of transit display color storage data in a table format. As shown in the figure, the R, G, and B fields store R (red), G (green), and B (blue) values when colors are expressed in RGB. That is, a plurality of colors are prepared by changing the values of R, G, and B, and color numbers are assigned to the plurality of colors.

  Further, when a predetermined color is selected as a transit display color from a plurality of colors, the in-use flag column for the predetermined color is set to “in use”, and the transit floor at that time is set to the transit floor column. The non-direct direct call registration car column stores the non-direct direct call registration car identification code and the transit car column stores the transfer car identification code.

  Then, when the transfer hall call of the transfer car for the non-direct direct call is canceled, the transfer floor column, the non-direct call registration car column, and the transfer car column for the non-direct direct call are stored. The data is erased and the in-use flag column is updated to “unused”.

  Note that, in the configuration that does not include the hall display device display color control unit 18, the display color control of the hall indicators 4A to 4C is not performed. Therefore, when the non-direct direct call registration car arrives at the transit floor, the transit is performed. The stored data in the floor column, the non-direct call registration car column, and the transit car column may be deleted.

  In FIG. 4, there are rows in which the values of the non-directly accessible call registration car and the transfer floor in the determination information output from the transfer determining unit 13 are the same as the values of the transfer floor column and the non-directable call registration car column. If it exists in the memory data for transit display colors, the color of the color number of the row is selected as the transit display color, so that the display color of the indicator in the car of the non-direct call registration car on the same transit floor Can only be determined.

  Further, in the determination information output from the transfer determining unit 13, the lines where the values of the transfer floor and the transfer car are the same as the values of the transfer floor column and the transfer car column are the storage data for the transfer display color in FIG. In such a case, by selecting the color number of the row, it is possible to uniquely determine the display color of the hall display device such as the hall indicator of the transit car on the transit floor.

  Then, the transit display color control unit 15 is incapable of transit and direct access to the in-car destination call button display color control unit 16, the in-car indicator display color control unit 17, and the hall display device display color control unit 18. Display color control information indicating the call registration car, the destination floor (calling destination floor where direct access is not possible), the transfer car, and the transfer display color is output.

  The in-car destination button display color control unit 16 is configured to display a transfer floor, direct call impossible registration car, destination floor, transfer car, and transfer display indicated by the display color control information input from the transfer display color control unit 15. Based on the color, a command for display color control of the in-car call device 32i is issued to the car control device 2i (i = A to C) corresponding to the non-direct direct call registration car. The car control device 2i performs display color control (first display color control) so as to emit light by setting the light emission color of the destination button corresponding to the destination floor in the car call device 32i to the transit display color in accordance with the above command. Do. At this time, display color control (second display color control) for emitting light by setting the light emission color of the destination button corresponding to the transfer floor in the car calling device 32i to the transfer display color may be performed together. Good. The in-car destination button display color control unit 16 can perform the first and second display color controls without information on the connecting car.

  The in-car indicator display color control unit 17 is a transit floor designated by the display color control information input from the transit display color control unit 15, a non-direct call registration car, a destination floor, a transit car, and a transit display color. Based on the above, a command for controlling the display color of the in-car indicator 31i is issued to the car control device 2i corresponding to the call registration car that cannot be used directly. When the car control device 2i follows the above command, the call registration car 3i that is not directly accessible approaches the connecting floor, and the car indicator 31i of the car 3i displays the current position information indicating the connecting floor, that is, the current position. When the information becomes the transit floor, the display color is changed to the transit display color, and the display color control (third display color control) is performed so as to change to the normal display color when leaving the transit floor. . The in-car indicator display color control unit 17 can perform the third display color control without information on the destination floor and the transfer car.

  The hall display device display color control unit 18 displays the transfer floor, the direct call registration car, the destination floor, the transfer car, and the transfer display indicated by the transfer display color control information input from the transfer display color control unit 15. Based on the color, a command for display color control of the hall indicator 4j on the connecting floor is issued to the car control device 2j (j = A to C) of the connecting car. Based on the above command, the car control device 2j is connected to the transit floor of the transit car 3j at a predetermined time set between the registration of the non-directly possible call and the arrival of the transit car 3j on the transit floor. Display color control (fourth display color control) to change the display color of arrival information in the hall indicator 4j to the transit display color and to change to the normal display color when the transit car 3j departs from the transit floor I do.

  The elevator system according to the present embodiment has a transit display comprising a transit display color control unit 15, an in-car destination button display color control unit 16, an in-car indicator display color control unit 17, and a hall display device display color control unit 18. As display color control via the car control devices 2A to 2C by the color control mechanism, first and second display color controls are performed for the in-car calling devices 32A to 32C, and third to the in-car indicators 31A to 31C. The display color is controlled.

  Therefore, a passenger who has boarded the non-directly accessible call registration car 3i to the destination floor corresponds to the transit floor that displays the same color as the transit display color of the destination button corresponding to the destination floor in the in-car call device 32i. By detecting the current position information by the destination button or the in-car indicator 32i, it is possible to easily and accurately recognize the transit floor and get off at the transit floor. In addition, it is possible to provide a function for setting the destination buttons of the car indicators 31A to 31C and the current position information of the car call devices 32A to 32C to the transit display color at a relatively low cost.

  As a result, this embodiment has an effect of realizing an elevator system that can perform easy connection guidance with a relatively inexpensive configuration.

  In order to achieve the above effect, the first display color control for the in-car calling device 32i, the second display color control for the in-car calling device 32i, and the third display color control for the in-car indicator 31i. It is sufficient that at least one of the controls is executed.

  Furthermore, the elevator system of the present embodiment further performs fourth display color control for the hall indicator 4j on the transfer floor as display color control by the above-described transfer display color control mechanism.

  Therefore, a passenger who gets on the call registration car 3i that cannot go directly to the destination floor displays the same color as the connection display color of the destination button corresponding to the destination floor in the in-car call device 32i after getting off the transit floor. By detecting arrival information by the landing indicator 4j, it is possible to easily and accurately board the appropriate transit car 3j on the transit floor. In addition, it is relatively inexpensive to provide a function for setting the arrival information of the hall indicators 4A to 4C to the transit display color.

  As a result, the present embodiment can realize an elevator system that can perform transfer guidance including boarding guidance to a transfer car that is easy to recognize with a relatively inexpensive configuration.

  Furthermore, the elevator system according to the present embodiment includes the cars 3A to 3C by the car destination button display color control unit 16, the car indicator display color control unit 17, and the hall display device display color control unit 18 in the group management device 1. The first to fourth display color controls can be performed collectively.

  Note that a method other than the setting method shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 may be used for setting the transit display color. That is, the in-car calling device 32 can recognize the destination floor and the transfer floor separately from other floors, and the in-car indicator 31 can recognize the transfer floor separately from other floors. In 4, if the transit car is a color that can be discriminated and recognized as another car, there are various ways of setting the transit display color.

  The hall indicators 4A to 4C are ideally provided on each floor. However, as a minimum necessary configuration, it is possible to selectively provide at least only floors that may be transit floors. Conceivable.

The display color control units 18A to 18C for the hall display devices individually control the display colors (fourth display color control) for the corresponding cars 3A to 3C in the same manner as the hall display device display color control unit 18 of the basic configuration. )I do.

  The elevator system of the modified example (No. 1) having such a configuration includes an in-car destination button display color control unit 16k (one of k = A to C) provided in correspondence with the cars 3A to 3C, By the car control device 7k having the indicator display color control unit 17k and the hall display device display color control unit 18k, the first to fourth display color controls for the cars 3A to 3C can be performed individually.

  FIG. 6 is an explanatory diagram showing a configuration of a modified example (No. 2) of the elevator system according to the present embodiment.

As shown in the figure, in this modification, hall lanterns 8A to 8C are provided instead of the hall indicators 4A to 4C having the basic configuration shown in FIG. Therefore, the display color control of the hall lanterns 8A to 8C via the car control devices 2A to 2C of the hall display device display color control unit 18 is performed in the same manner as the hall indicators 4A to 4C. The hall lanterns 8A to 8C cannot display the current positions of the cars 3A to 3C, but can display the transit display color, so that the object of the present invention can be achieved .

  In addition, although the above was described about the single deck elevator, when moving from the top floor to the bottom floor in the double deck elevator, if you get on the upper deck (the upper car) of a certain shaft, It is necessary to transfer the car to the lower deck (the lower car) of the shaft.

  Conversely, when moving from the lowest floor to the top floor with a double deck elevator, if you get on the lower deck of a shaft, transfer the car to the upper deck of any shaft including that shaft. Need to do.

  The elevator system of the present embodiment can also be applied to such a double deck elevator. However, “The upper deck and the lower deck are treated as separate baskets”, “The lowermost floor of the shaft in the upper deck is the unserviceable floor”, “The uppermost floor of the shaft in the lower deck is the unserviceable floor” It is necessary to set conditions for double deck elevators.

  Thus, it is also possible to apply the elevator system of this Embodiment to the transfer guidance with respect to the elevator group containing a double deck elevator.

  As described above, in the elevator system of the present embodiment, a passenger who has registered a non-directed call in the car corresponds to the destination floor (the non-directed call destination floor) operated by the passenger in the in-car call device 32i. Just by remembering the display color of the destination button, from the display color of the current position information indicating the transit floor of the in-car indicator 31i or the emission color of the destination button corresponding to the transit floor of the in-car calling device 32i, You can easily find the transit floor that gets out of the non-direct call registration car.

  In addition, at the elevator floor on the connecting floor, guidance is provided by a hall display device such as a hall indicator 4j and a hall lantern 8j displayed in the same color as the display color of the destination button for indicating the destination floor in the car call device 32i. It is relatively easy to recognize that the car is a transit car, and it is possible to get on the transit car and go to the original destination floor.

  1,9 group management device, 2A to 2C, 7A to 7C car control device, 3A to 3C car, 4A to 4C hall indicator, 8A to 8C hall lantern, 11 destination call information acquisition unit, 12 direct access possibility determination unit, 13th passenger Connection determination unit, 14 transfer call registration unit, 15 transfer display color control unit, 16, 16A to 16C car destination button display color control unit, 17, 17A to 17C car indicator display color control unit, 18, 18A to 18C hall display device display color control unit, 31A to 31C car indicator, 32A to 32C car call device.
