Description

  Embodiments described herein relate generally to an elevator system capable of registering a user's destination floor at a landing.

  Generally, a hall call button for registering a hall call is installed at a hall on each floor of a building. When the elevator user operates this hall call button, the car responds to the registration floor of the hall call. When the user gets into the car and operates the destination floor button on the car operation panel, the destination floor is registered, and the car moves to the destination floor.

  In recent years, an elevator system equipped with a hall destination floor registration device (HDC: Hall Destination Controller) that can directly designate a destination floor at a hall has been put into practical use. Such an elevator system is called a “destination floor control system (DCS)”. The DCS selects an optimum car from a plurality of cars based on the destination floor (destination call) registered by the user at the hall, and responds to the hall. In this case, transport efficiency is improved by letting users on the same destination floor get on the same car.

  Hereinafter, embodiments will be described with reference to the drawings.

(First embodiment)
FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating a configuration of an elevator system according to the first embodiment, and illustrates a configuration in which a plurality of elevators are group-managed. In the example of FIG. 1, a configuration in which three elevators are group-managed is shown, but the configuration is not limited to three. The elevator referred to here is mainly a passenger car, and a passenger car to which a hall call is assigned is called an “assigned car” or an “assigned car”.

  This system includes a group management control device 11 and elevator control devices 12a, 12b, and 12c. The group management control device 11 and the elevator control devices 12a, 12b, and 12c are installed, for example, in the machine room at the top of the building and are connected by a group management control cable 13.

  The group management control device 11 is a controller having a normal control method (group management control method), and is installed at the time of elevator installation. The group management control device 11 controls the operation of each of the cars 17a, 17b, 17c based on the hall call registered by the hall call registration apparatus 14. The hall call includes information on the user's destination direction (up / down) and the registered floor (floor on which the hall call is registered). In the group management control system, a hall call is assigned to the car that can respond most quickly from each of the cars 17a, 17b, and 17c, and the car (allocated car) is made to respond to the registered floor.

  The elevator control devices 12a, 12b, and 12c are provided corresponding to the cars 17a, 17b, and 17c. These elevator control devices 12a, 12b, and 12c perform control of a single car including drive control of a hoisting machine (not shown) and door opening / closing control.

  The hall call registration device 14 is installed in a hall 20 on each floor and includes a hall call button 15 and a display 16. The hall call button 15 is composed of an upward button and a downward button (only the downward button on the top floor and only the upward button on the bottom floor). The display 16 is a small liquid crystal display, and displays the current position and driving direction of the cars 17a, 17b, and 17c, and switching related to driving control to be described later. The hall call registration device 14 may be provided for each unit in the hall 20 on each floor.

  Here, in this system, a DCS control device 21 is provided independently of the group management control device 11. The DCS control device 21 is a controller having a DCS control method, and is newly added separately from the existing group management control device 11. The DCS control device 21 is connected to the group management control device 11 via the communication network 22 so as to be capable of data communication with each other. The communication network 22 is, for example, a local area network (LAN) when the DCS control device 21 is installed in the same building as the group management control device 11, and is public when the DCS control device 21 is installed outside. It is a line network.

  The DCS control device 21 controls the operation of each of the cars 17a, 17b, and 17c based on a hall call having a destination floor of the user (hereinafter referred to as a destination call). The destination call includes information on the user's destination floor and the registered floor (the floor on which the destination call is registered). In the DCS control system, the most suitable car among the cars 17a, 17b, 17c,... Is responded to the registered floor by assignment control in consideration of the user's destination floor.

A car operation panel 18a is installed in the car 17a. The car operation panel 18a has a plurality of floor buttons 19a for registering the destination floor of the user. The same applies to the other cars 17b and 17c, and car operation panels 18b and 18c each having a plurality of floor buttons 19b and 19c are provided. These floor buttons 19a, 19b, 19c are used when operating in the normal group management control system.

  Further, in this system, when a DCS control method is in operation, a destination call necessary for the DCS control method is registered using a terminal device capable of wireless communication with the DCS control device 21. As this terminal device, a portable terminal 23 or a dedicated terminal 24 owned by the user is used.

  The mobile terminal 23 is a general mobile phone or a smartphone. As shown in FIG. 2, application software 23 a for DCS is installed in the mobile terminal 23 in advance, and a radio signal in a predetermined frequency band transmitted from a radio signal device (beacon) 25 installed in the hall 20 is used. It is activated. The wireless signal device 25 is made of, for example, Bluetooth (registered trademark) or the like, and is installed at an arbitrary location on the landing 20. The installation location of the wireless signal device 25 is, for example, a wall near the landing door, but is not particularly limited, and may be within a range where the wireless signal reaches the mobile terminal 23 held by the user who has arrived at the landing 20. Anywhere.

  By starting the application software 23a, a destination call having a user's destination floor can be sent from the portable terminal 23 to the DCS control device 21 via the communication network 26. The communication network 26 is a wireless LAN or a public line network. In the case of a wireless LAN, an access point (AP) (not shown) is installed at the landing 20. The application software 23a has been developed by an elevator-related company and can be freely downloaded from a Web site that depends on the OS (Operating System) of the mobile terminal 23.

  The dedicated terminal 24 is a terminal device such as a tablet managed on the building side, and includes application software 24a for DCS. Note that the application software 24a provided in the dedicated terminal 24 may be activated at all times, or may be activated by a radio signal transmitted from the radio signal device (beacon) 25 in the same manner as the mobile terminal 23 of the user. But it ’s okay. In addition, the dedicated terminal 24 may be brought to the landing 20 as necessary, for example, by a building manager, or may be placed at a predetermined location on the landing 20.

  In the present embodiment, “full DCS” that can register a destination call of a user on each floor is assumed. The radio signal device 25 is individually installed in the hall 20 on each floor, and floor information on each place is transmitted. The portable terminal 23 receives the floor information as a registered floor upon activation of the application software 23a, adds it to the user's destination floor, and wirelessly transmits it to the DCS control device 21.

  FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing a functional configuration of the group management control device 11.

  The group management control device 11 includes a setting unit 31, a control switching unit 32, an abnormality detection unit 33, an operation control unit 34, and a registration control unit 35 as functional units related to this system.

  The setting unit 31 sets a switching condition for switching the control method. This switching condition includes, for example, a time zone (commuting time zone etc.) in which the hall 20 on the reference floor is congested. The control switching unit 32 switches from the group management control method to the DCS control method in accordance with the switching condition set by the setting unit 31.

The abnormality detection unit 33 detects an abnormality of the DCS control device 21. Specifically, when a switching instruction is sent from the group management control device 11 to the DCS control device 21 via the communication network 22, there is no response from the DCS control device 21, or the DCS control device 21 issues a notification regarding any abnormality. If there is, it is judged as abnormal. When the abnormality detection unit 33 detects an abnormality in the DCS control device 21, the control switching unit 32 stops switching to the DCS control method.

  The operation control unit 34 controls the operation of the cars 17a, 17b, and 17c based on the hall call registered by the hall call registration device 14 when the group management control system is switched. The registration control unit 35 prohibits the use of the hall call registration device 14 when switched to the DCS control method, and uses the terminal device (mobile terminal 23 or dedicated terminal 24) capable of wireless communication with the DCS control device 21. Have the person register the destination call.

  FIG. 4 is a block diagram showing a functional configuration of the DCS control device 21.

  The DCS control device 21 includes a monitoring unit 41, an operation control unit 42, and a communication unit 43 as functional units related to this system.

  The monitoring unit 41 monitors the operating state of the cars 17a, 17b, and 17c under the control of the group management control device 11 via the communication network 22. The driving states of the cars 17a, 17b, 17c include the current position, driving direction, call registration (car call, hall call), and the like.

  When the operation control unit 42 is switched to the DCS control method, the operation control unit 42 controls the operation of the cars 17a, 17b, and 17c in place of the operation control unit 34 of the group management control device 11. The communication unit 43 receives a destination call from the user's portable terminal 23 or the dedicated terminal 24 and gives the destination call to the operation control unit 42, and information on the car (allocated car) to which the destination call is assigned. The data is sent to the terminal 23 or the dedicated terminal 24.

  FIG. 5 is a block diagram showing a functional configuration of the mobile terminal 23.

  The mobile terminal 23 held by the user includes an input unit 51, a display unit 52, a control unit 53, a voice input / output unit 54, a storage unit 55, a GPS (Global Positioning System) module 56, a communication unit 57, and the like. .

  The input unit 51 includes various keys and buttons, and inputs data and gives instructions. The display unit 52 includes, for example, an LCD, and displays data. For example, a transparent touch panel may be used as the input unit 51 and data input / instruction may be performed on the screen of the display unit 52.

  The control unit 53 includes a CPU, and executes various functions by starting a predetermined program. The voice input / output unit 54 includes a microphone for inputting voice and a speaker for outputting voice. The storage unit 55 includes a memory device such as a ROM or a RAM, and stores various programs including the above-described application software 23a.

  The GPS module 56 is used to detect the current position. The communication unit 57 is a general-purpose interface for performing wireless communication with the outside, and enables long-distance wireless communication using a public line network and proximity wireless communication such as Bluetooth (registered trademark) and Wi-Fi. And

  Since the basic components of the dedicated terminal 24 are the same as those of the portable terminal 23, the description thereof is omitted here.

  Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described.

  FIG. 6 is a flowchart for explaining the operation of the elevator system according to the first embodiment.

  Usually, it is switched to the group management control method, and the hall call is registered by using the hall call registration device 14 installed in the hall 20. This hall call includes information on the destination direction (upward or downward) and the registered floor. When the operation control unit 34 of the group management control device 11 receives the hall call via the registration control unit 35, the operation control unit 34 obtains an evaluation value based on the operation state (current position, operation direction, etc.) of the cars 17a, 17b, 17c. The hall call is assigned to the car having the highest evaluation value and responds to the registered floor (step S11).

  Here, it is assumed that a time zone in which the hall 20 is congested through the setting unit 31 (for example, a commuting time zone from 8:00 to 9:00) is set as a control method switching condition.

  When the time period set as the switching condition is reached (Yes in step S12), a control switching instruction is sent from the control switching unit 32 of the group management control device 11 to the DCS control device 21 via the communication network 22 (step S13). .

  At this time, when there is no response from the DCS control device 21 (communication abnormality) or when information about any abnormality is sent (control abnormality) (Yes in step S14), the abnormality detection unit 33 controls the control switching unit 32. An abnormality detection signal is output. Upon receiving this abnormality detection signal, the control switching unit 32 stops switching to the DCS control method and returns to the group management control method (step S11). The same applies when any abnormality is detected during operation in the DCS control method, and the operation is continued after returning to the group management control method.

  On the other hand, if there is a response from the DCS control device 21, the operation is switched to the DCS control method, and the operation of the cars 17a, 17b, 17c is controlled by the DCS control device 21 until the set time period elapses (step S15). . In this case, the DCS control device 21 transmits / receives data necessary for operation control to / from the elevator control devices 12a, 12b, 12c via the group management control device 11, or as indicated by a dotted line in FIG. Data necessary for operation control is transmitted / received to / from the elevator control devices 12a, 12b, 12c without going through the group management control device 11.

  When switched to the DCS control method, the registration control unit 35 of the group management control device 11 displays a message 61 as shown in FIG. 7 on the display 16 of the hall call registration device 14 (step S16). This message 61 is for notifying the user that the elevator usage method has been changed. The message 61 prohibits the use of the hall call registration device 14 (the hall call button 15) and the terminal device (the user's mobile terminal). 23 or registering the destination floor using the dedicated terminal 24). The message 61 may be notified by voice or may be notified by both display and voice.

  If the DCS application software 23a is installed in the user's mobile terminal 23 in advance, the application software 23a is activated by a radio signal transmitted from the radio signal device 25 installed in the hall 20, for example, as shown in FIG. Such a DCS registration screen 62 is displayed on the portable terminal 23.

  The registration screen 62 includes a floor display unit 62a, a destination floor registration unit 62b, and an assigned car display unit 62c. In the floor display portion 62a, floor information of the hall 20 obtained from the wireless signal device 25 (in this example, the first floor) is displayed. The destination floor registration unit 62b displays the destination floor (in this example, the fifth floor) registered by the user through a predetermined operation. In the assigned car display section 62c, the name of the car of the car (assigned car) on which the user gets on is displayed.

  Here, when the user registers a destination floor in the destination floor registration unit 62b of the registration screen 62, a destination call in which information of the registered floor (floor information) is added to the destination floor is transmitted from the portable terminal 23 via the communication network 26. To the DCS control device 21. The same applies to the dedicated terminal 24. When the user's destination floor is registered through the registration screen 62 as shown in FIG. 8, the destination call with the registered floor information (floor information) added to the destination floor is displayed from the dedicated terminal 24. The data is sent to the DCS control device 21 via the communication network 26.

  Note that the user's destination floor may be registered in the mobile terminal 23 in advance using the application software 23a. In this case, when the application software 23a is activated at the hall 20, the destination floor of the user registered in advance in the portable terminal 23 is transmitted to the DCS control device 21 as a destination call together with information on the registered floor (floor information). The Therefore, each time, there is no need to register the destination floor through the registration screen 62 as shown in FIG.

  The destination call transmitted from the portable terminal 23 or the dedicated terminal 24 is received by the communication unit 43 of the DCS control device 21 (Yes in step S17). The operation control unit 42 performs allocation control based on the destination call received by the communication unit 43 (step S18). Specifically, the operation control unit 42 acquires information on the operation state of the cars 17a, 17b, and 17c through the monitoring unit 41, and uses the evaluation value when the destination call is assigned to the cars 17a, 17b, and 17c. The destination call is assigned to the car having the highest evaluation value, and the registration floor is responded.

  The evaluation value is an index representing the optimality when the hall call / destination call is assigned. This evaluation value indicates that the smaller the numerical value is, the higher the evaluation is, and the larger the numerical value is, the lower the evaluation is. In the DCS control method, the evaluation value calculation method is different from the group management control method, and the evaluation value is obtained in consideration of the destination floor of the user.

  When the operation control unit 42 determines the assigned car based on the evaluation value, which car is registered on the registered floor of the terminal device (the portable terminal 23 or the dedicated terminal 24) that is the transmission source of the destination call through the communication unit 43. Whether to respond to (step S19). By this notification, the car name of the car that the user should ride (No. A in this example) is displayed in the assigned car display part 62c of the registration screen 62.

  In addition, the operation control unit 42 lights up the floor button 19a corresponding to the user's destination floor on the car operation panel 18a to inform that the destination floor has been registered (step S20). As described above, since the destination call includes the information on the destination floor, registration of the car call (operation of the floor button 19a) becomes unnecessary when the user gets on the car 17a.

  Thus, according to the first embodiment, in the configuration in which the DCS control device 21 is connected to the group management control device 11 via the communication network 22, the cars 17a and 17b are switched by switching the control method according to, for example, the time zone. 17c can be operated.

  Therefore, for example, in the case of an office building, switching to the DCS control system in the morning work hours allows a large number of users to be efficiently transported to each destination floor. In this case, people working in an office building are accustomed to daily use even when switching to the DCS control method, and can move to the target floor without hesitation.

  On the other hand, it is preferable to return to the normal group management control system because visitors who are not used to the DCS control system may use the elevator at times other than the working hours. The DCS control method is effective in terms of efficient transportation when it is congested, but the waiting time becomes longer because it is necessary to wait for the passenger car on the destination floor when it is not busy. Therefore, returning to the normal group management control method at times other than the busy hours such as work hours can prevent the user from waiting for a long time and carry them efficiently.

  Further, in this system, the DCS control device 21 is not incorporated in the group management control device 11, but the DCS control device 21 is installed outside, so that the DCS can be easily performed without greatly improving the existing elevator system. In addition, there is an advantage that even when DCS becomes unnecessary, it can be easily restored.

  Even when a plurality of passenger cars are grouped by destination floor, if the DCS control device 21 is provided with information on the grouping, the passenger car has the destination floor when switched to the DCS control system. It is also possible to respond by selecting the most suitable car from the group.

(Modification)
In the first embodiment, the time zone is set as the control method switching condition. For example, as shown in FIG. 9, the congestion state of the hall 20 is detected by using a monitoring camera 27 installed in the hall 20 to perform DCS. It is good also as a structure switched to a control system.

  The surveillance camera 27 is installed at least at the hall 20 on the reference floor. The group management control device 11 includes a congestion detection unit 36 that detects an congestion state (a state in which a large number of users are staying) of the hall 20 by analyzing an image captured by the monitoring camera 27. When the congestion detection unit 36 detects a state where a predetermined number of users or more are staying at the hall 20, the control unit 32 may switch to the DCS control method.

(Second Embodiment)
Next, a second embodiment will be described.

  In the first embodiment, the configuration for switching the group management control method and the DCS control method in one property has been described. On the other hand, 2nd Embodiment demonstrates the structure which switches a group management control system and a DCS control system for several objects. The “property” mentioned here is a building where a plurality of elevators (cars) are installed.

  FIG. 10 is a diagram illustrating a configuration of an elevator system according to the second embodiment.

  Each property A, B, C is provided with group management control devices 11a, 11b, 11c and radio signal devices (beacons) 25a, 25b, 25c. Each of the group management control devices 11a, 11b, and 11c has a normal control method (group management control method), and operates a plurality of cars based on a hall call registered by a hall call registration device (not shown). To control. The configuration of the group management control devices 11a, 11b, and 11c is the same as that of the group management control device 11 shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, and detailed description thereof is omitted here.

  Radio signal devices (beacons) 25a, 25b, and 25c are installed at the landings 20a, 20b, and 20c of the properties A, B, and C, respectively. Since these radio signal devices 25a, 25b, and 25c are the same as the radio signal device 25 shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, detailed description thereof is omitted here.

Here, the group management control devices 11a, 11b, and 11c of the respective properties A, B, and C are connected to a communication network 22 such as a public line network with one DCS control device 21 respectively. In the second embodiment, the DCS control device 21 exists on the communication network 22 as a server that can be used in common for each property A, B, and C, and receives a destination call from the mobile terminal 23 held by the user. By doing so, operation control by DCS is performed. Incidentally, it is also possible to register a destination call by using the first dedicated terminal 24 similarly to the implementation form.

  Application software 23a for DCS is installed in the mobile terminal 23 in advance. When the user is at the landing 20a of the property A, the application software 23a is activated by a wireless signal transmitted from the wireless signal device 25a installed at the landing 20a. The radio signal device 25a is individually installed in the hall 20a of each floor, and transmits floor information of each place. Further, the wireless signal device 25a transmits property information such as an address and ID for identifying the property A. The portable terminal 23 receives the floor information and the property information upon activation of the application software 23a, adds it to the user's destination floor, and wirelessly transmits it to the DCS control device 21. The same applies to the other properties B and C. The application software 23a is activated by the wireless signal devices 25b and 25c, and at that time, floor information and property information can be received.

  The portable terminal 23 is provided with a property destination floor table T1 as shown in FIG. 11, for example. In the property destination floor table T1, user destination floors arbitrarily set for each property are stored. The properties A, B, and C in the figure are, for example, residential apartments, head office buildings, branch buildings, etc., and properties (buildings) in which elevators that are regularly used by users are installed. In these properties, the floors that the user can use are limited from the viewpoint of security, and the target floor for the user is often determined. Therefore, if the destination floor is set for each property in advance using the application software 23a, it is possible to smoothly go to the target floor in each property without being particularly conscious.

  FIG. 12 is a flowchart for explaining the operation of the elevator system according to the second embodiment. In each property A, B, and C, as described in the first embodiment, for example, the group management control method is switched to the DCS control method according to the time zone or the congestion state.

  Now, focusing on the property A, a control switching instruction is sent from the group management control device 11a of the property A to the DCS control device 21 via the communication network 22. At this time, when there is no response from the DCS control device 21 (communication abnormality) or when information about any abnormality is sent (control abnormality), switching to the DCS control method is stopped and the group management control method is entered. Returned. When switched to the DCS control method, the DCS control device 21 performs the following operation control on the property A.

  That is, the DCS control device 21 receives the destination call sent from the user's portable terminal 23 by the activation of the application software 23a (Yes in step S31). This destination call includes property information in addition to the user's destination floor and registered floor. The user's destination floor is read from the property destination floor table T1 shown in FIG. 11 when the application software 23a is activated. The registered floor (floor information) and property information are obtained from the radio signal device 25. Note that the registration screen 62 as shown in FIG. 8 may be displayed when the application software 23a is activated, and the user's destination floor may be registered each time.

  The DCS control device 21 specifies the property to be controlled (the property A here) from the property information included in the destination call (step S32), and performs allocation control corresponding to the identified property A (step S33). . Specifically, the DCS control device 21 acquires information about the driving state of each car in the property A via the communication network 22 and obtains an evaluation value when the destination call is assigned to these cars. The destination call is assigned to the car having the highest evaluation value and the response is made to the registered floor.

  When the assigned car is determined based on the evaluation value, the DCS control device 21 notifies the mobile terminal 23 that is the transmission source of the destination call which car responds to the registration floor (step S34). Further, the DCS control device 21 turns on the floor button corresponding to the destination floor of the user on the car operation panel in the assigned car to inform that the destination floor has been registered (step S35).

  Although the description has been given here assuming that the destination call is registered using the user's portable terminal 23, the same applies to the case where the destination call is registered using the dedicated terminal 24. The same applies when the user registers a destination call using the portable terminal 23 or the dedicated terminal 24 in another property, and the DCS control device 21 identifies the property and the group management already installed in the property. Remotely control the operation of each car on behalf of the controller.

  As described above, according to the second embodiment, one DCS control device 21 can be shared via a communication network 22 in a plurality of properties, and each property appropriately switches from the existing group management control device to the DCS control method. And can be operated efficiently.

  According to at least one embodiment described above, it is possible to provide an elevator system that does not require significant improvement and can be operated using DCS as necessary.

  In addition, although some embodiment of this invention was described, these embodiment is shown as an example and is not intending limiting the range of invention.
