Description

  The present invention relates to an elevator group management control device and an elevator group management control method for assigning an optimal car to a landing destination call registered by a landing destination floor registration device.

  In the conventional elevator group management control device, when a car arriving by assigning a car arriving at the boarding floor of the passenger in a direction opposite to the direction of the destination floor of the passenger when registering the landing destination call, the destination floor There was a risk of passengers getting on the car driving in the opposite direction.

  Here, if a passenger accidentally gets on the car that is driving in the opposite direction to the destination floor, when the car's running direction call disappears and the direction is reversed, the passenger's destination floor registered as the car call However, there was a problem that the passenger was not able to go to the destination floor because it was canceled as a backside car call. Note that when the car is no longer called in the traveling direction and the direction is reversed, the direction of the car is reversed in response to the terminal call.

  It is also conceivable to store the passenger's destination floor registered as a car call and not cancel the back car call even when the car is turned in response to the terminal call. However, even in this case, when the passenger accidentally gets on the car that is driving in the opposite direction to the destination floor, the car stops on the passenger's boarding floor and the driving efficiency decreases. was there.

  Therefore, in order to solve the above problems, when allocating a car to a landing destination call, the passenger gets on the car after excluding the car that runs in the direction opposite to the passenger's destination floor direction. An elevator group management control device has been proposed that excludes a car from which a car reverse departure event occurs in which the car departs in the direction opposite to the passenger's destination floor direction (for example, patent literature) 1).

  In addition, the vehicle is provided with a position detecting means for detecting the position of the car and a traveling direction detecting means for detecting the traveling direction. There has been proposed an elevator hall call cancellation device that cancels storage of hall calls in a direction opposite to the traveling direction of the stop floor where the car call is registered when a call is registered (see, for example, Patent Document 2). .

  However, in the elevator group management control device described in Patent Document 1, when allocating a car to a landing destination call, since the car that operates in the direction opposite to the passenger's destination floor direction is excluded in advance, There is a problem that the optimum car for improving the operation efficiency is not necessarily assigned.

  In addition, in the elevator hall call cancellation device described in Patent Document 2, when a passenger gets in a car that is driving in a direction opposite to the destination floor and a car call in the direction opposite to the traveling direction is registered. Since the memory of the hall call in the direction opposite to the traveling direction of the stop floor where the car call is registered is canceled, when a new hall call is registered at a timing before the hall call is canceled, There is a problem that the car assignment is not optimal.

  The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and in the case of assigning a car to a landing destination call, the passenger arrives at the landing floor of the passenger in the reverse direction to the destination floor direction of the passenger. It is an object of the present invention to provide an elevator group management control device and elevator group management control method capable of allocating an optimum car and improving operation efficiency even when there is a car.

  The elevator group management control device according to the present invention is a landing destination call registration unit for registering a destination floor input by a passenger in a landing destination floor registration device as a landing destination call, and for a landing destination call, what is a passenger's destination floor direction? A landing call registration direction correction unit that corrects the registration direction of the landing destination call in the opposite direction to the direction from the passenger's boarding floor to the destination floor when there is a car arriving at the passenger's boarding floor in the reverse direction; For the hall destination call registered by the destination call registration section or the hall destination call corrected by the hall call registration direction correction section, the car assignment section for assigning the optimal car and the floor where the hall destination call is registered When the car arrives, the car call registration unit that registers the passenger's destination floor as a car call and the car runs in the opposite direction to the passenger's destination floor direction, and the direction of the driving direction disappears Even in the case of reversal, it is those with, and direction when reversing car call holding portion for holding the car call if they were registered in the car call registration unit.

  In the elevator group management control method according to the present invention, the landing destination call registration step of registering the destination floor inputted by the passenger by the landing destination floor registration device as the landing destination call and the landing destination direction of the passenger for the landing destination call If there is a car arriving at the passenger's boarding floor in the opposite direction, the hall call registration direction correcting step for correcting the registration direction of the hall destination call in the direction opposite to the direction from the passenger boarding floor to the destination floor; The car assignment step for assigning the optimal car to the landing destination call registered in the landing destination call registration step or the landing destination call corrected in the landing call registration direction correction step, and the floor on which the landing destination call is registered. When a car arrives on the floor, the car call registration step of registering the passenger's destination floor as a car call in the car, and the car is in the direction opposite to the passenger's destination floor direction Traveling, even when the direction reversing gone called the traveling direction, and has a holding step direction when reversing car call to hold the car call or registered in the car call registration step.

According to the elevator group management control device and the elevator group management control method according to the present invention, the landing destination call corresponding to the destination floor inputted by the passenger arrives at the passenger's boarding floor in a direction opposite to the destination floor direction of the passenger. If there is a car, the registration direction of the landing destination call is corrected in the direction opposite to the direction from the passenger's boarding floor to the destination floor, the optimal car is assigned to the landing destination call, and the landing destination call is registered. When a car arrives at a different floor, the destination floor of the passenger is registered in the car as a car call, and the car travels in a direction opposite to the direction of the destination floor of the passenger, and the call in this traveling direction disappears and the direction is reversed. Even in this case, the car call registered in the car call registration unit is retained.
Therefore, when a car is assigned to a landing destination call, even when there is a car arriving at the boarding floor of the passenger in a direction opposite to the direction of the destination floor of the passenger, the optimum car is allocated to improve the operation efficiency. Can.
