Description

The present invention relates to a group management elevator system that manages the operation of a plurality of elevators.

The group management elevator system is a system that enables efficient car operation services to be provided to users by treating a plurality of cars (elevators) as one group (group).

Further, in the destination floor registration type group management elevator system, the user registers the destination floor using the destination floor registration device installed at the elevator platform. Then, in the destination floor registration type group management elevator system, the optimum car is assigned to the destination floor (hereinafter referred to as the destination floor call) registered by the user in the destination floor registration device, and the destination floor registration device is used. Displays the car assigned to the display unit provided by. The user confirms the car displayed on the destination floor registration device and waits for the car to arrive in front of the displayed car.

In the destination floor registration type group management elevator system, the destination floor of the user is known when the user registers the destination floor in the destination floor registration device, so that a suitable car can be assigned to each destination floor. .. For example, when the number of destination floors of users at the platform is large, by dividing these into a plurality of cars and allocating them, the number of stopped floors per lap of one car can be reduced, and as a result, one of each car is used. The lap time can be shortened. It is known that this makes it possible to improve the operation efficiency of each car (see Patent Document 1).

JP-A-2009-263037

However, in the conventional group management elevator system of the destination floor registration type, although it is possible to shorten the time per lap of each car, the travel time from the user getting on the elevator to getting off may be long. ..

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a group management elevator system capable of shortening the travel time from getting on the elevator to getting off by each user.

In order to solve the above problems and achieve the object of the present invention, the group management elevator system of the present invention is a group management elevator system that manages a plurality of cars, and is provided at a landing to call the destination floor of the car.

Notify the user of the direction of travel. The whole lanterns 40, 50, 60 may display only the upward and downward directions, or may display the current location of the car.

[Elevator control device]
The elevator control device 2 includes a group management control device 3 and the same number of unit control devices 42, 52, and 62 as the number of cars. In addition, the group management control device 3 includes a call information collection unit 4, a car information collection unit 5, a landing floor destination floor registration processing unit 6, a user-specific landing floor destination floor detection unit 7, and a user-specific stop floor number detection unit. 8. The information processing unit 13 including the priority zone detection unit 9 and the allocation car selection unit 10 is provided.

The unit control devices 42, 52, and 62 transmit the information of the respective cars 41, 51, and 61 to the car information collecting unit 5, which will be described later. In addition, the unit control devices 42, 52, 62 control the operation of the respective cars 41, 51, 61 under the control of the group management control device 3, and display the car position display devices 43, 53, 63, and The hall lanterns 40, 50, and 60 are turned off and turned on at the platform 12 on each floor, which is the service floor of the car. In the following description, when the unit control devices 42, 52, and 62 are not distinguished, they are simply referred to as the unit control device.

The call information collecting unit 4 collects the destination floor information generated by the user registering the destination floor in the destination floor registration device 11, and detects the occurrence of the user's "destination floor call". Further, the call information collecting unit 4 stores in advance the identification information of the destination floor registration device 11 installed at each platform. As a result, when a certain user registers the destination floor in the destination floor registration device 11 at a certain platform, the call information collecting unit 4 uses the identification information of the destination floor registration device 11 to call the user's "boarding". Occurrence can be detected.

For example, when the user inputs the workplace floor in the destination floor registration device 11 installed on the lobby floor, the call information collecting unit 4 detects the identification information as the lobby floor and the destination floor information as the workplace floor. To do. Then, these pieces of information collected by the call information collecting unit 4 are transmitted to the information processing unit 13. In this way, the call information collecting unit 4 can detect the occurrence of the user's "destination floor call" and "landing call" from the destination floor information and the identification information, so that the group management control device 3 can detect the occurrence of the user's "destination floor call" and "landing call". It is possible to obtain information on whether the destination floor call is an upward call or a downward call.

The car information collecting unit 5 is located in each of the cars 41, 51, 61, which is obtained from the position, moving direction, and load sensors 45, 55, 65 of each car transmitted from the control devices 42, 52, 62 of each unit. Information on the load of the user and the operation status of the car is registered. Information about each of the cars 41, 51, and 61 registered in the car information collecting unit 5 is transmitted to the information processing unit 13.

The landing floor destination floor registration processing unit 6 detects the landing floor and the destination floor of the user from the information transmitted from the call information collecting unit 4.

The landing floor destination floor detection unit 7 for each user detects and records the landing floor and the destination floor for each user from the information transmitted from the landing floor destination floor registration processing unit 6. Here, if there are multiple users with the same landing floor and destination floor, they are treated as the same information.

From the information recorded in the landing floor destination floor detection unit 7 for each user, the user-specific stop floor number detection unit 8 determines how many floors to stop from the landing floor to the destination floor for each car. Calculate (detect) separately. Then, from the number of stopped floors, the evaluation value of the number of stopped floors for each car is calculated for each user. The detection method and the evaluation method in the stop floor detection unit 8 for each user will be described in detail later.

The priority zone detection unit 9 sets the priority zone for the car assigned to the user who has already completed the call registration (hereinafter, the registered person). Then, the priority zone detection unit 9 detects for each car whether or not the landing call and / or the destination floor call of the user (call registrant) registered after the registered person is in the priority zone, and gives priority. The priority zone evaluation value is calculated based on whether or not the user is in the zone. Priority zones are set on several floors before and after the landing call and / or destination floor call for the car assigned to the landing call and / or destination floor call already registered by the registered person. The priority zone setting, detection method, and evaluation method in the priority zone detection unit 9 will be described in detail later.

The allocation car selection unit 10 includes a stop floor evaluation value detected by the user-specific stop floor detection unit 8, a priority zone evaluation value detected by the priority zone detection unit 9, a waiting time evaluation value, a congestion degree evaluation value, and the like. Car allocation processing is performed for each user based on. Then, after performing the allocation process, an operation command is output to each unit control device.

<2. Detection method in the stop floor detection unit for each user>
2 to 5 are diagrams for explaining a detection method in the stop floor detection unit 8 for each user. 2 to 5 show a case where users A, B, C, and D register destination floors in order with the destination floor registration device 11 in a building in which a car operates between the first floor and the tenth floor. It is a figure. Further, FIGS. 2 to 5 show an example in which the number of stopped floors is detected for each user in the car 41 of Unit 1. In this case, the current position of the car 41 of Unit 1 is the second floor. , The current nominal direction (movement direction) of the car indicates an upward direction.

First, when the user A registers the "9th floor" with the destination floor registration device 11 installed at the landing on the 4th floor, the information is transmitted via the call information collection unit 4 and the landing floor destination floor registration processing unit 6. It is input to the landing floor destination floor detection unit 7 for each user. Then, the landing floor call (4th floor) and the destination floor call (9th floor) of the user A are detected and recorded in the landing floor destination floor detection unit 7 for each user.

As shown in FIG. 2, the stop floor detection unit 8 for each user is placed in the car 41 of Unit 1 and the landing floor 100A based on the information of the user A recorded in the landing floor destination floor detection unit 7 for each user. When the destination floor 200A is set, the operation status of the car 41 of the first machine in the user A is stored so as to be surrounded by a broken line.

Next to user A, user B registers "6th floor" with the destination floor registration device 11 installed at the platform on the 5th floor. Then, the information is input to the user-specific landing floor destination floor detection unit 7 via the call information collection unit 4 and the landing floor destination floor registration processing unit 6. Then, the landing floor call (5th floor) and the destination floor call (6th floor) of the user B are detected and recorded in the landing floor destination floor detection unit 7 for each user.

As shown in FIG. 3, the stop floor detection unit 8 for each user puts the landing floor 100B in the car 41 of Unit 1 based on the information of the user B recorded in the landing floor destination floor detection unit 7 for each user. , Set the destination floor 200B. In this case, the stop floor detection unit 8 for each user stores the operating status of the car 41 of Unit 1 in the user B so as to be surrounded by the broken line in FIG.

On the other hand, based on the information of the landing floor call of the user B and the destination floor call, the stop floor detection unit 8 for each user performs the stop floor calculation based on the call registration of the user B for the user A. Do. If the car 41 of Unit 1 is tentatively assigned to users A and B, the landing floor and destination floor of user B will be the stop floors of user A. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 3, the user-specific stop floor detection unit 8 adds the stop floors 300 and 301 to the operation status of the first car 41 of the user A, and adds the stop floors 300 and 301 to the operation status of the first car of the user A. Memorize the new operation status of 41.

Next to user B, user C registers the "10th floor" with the destination floor registration device 11 installed at the platform on the first floor. Then, the information is input to the user-specific landing floor destination floor detection unit 7 via the call information collection unit 4 and the landing floor destination floor registration processing unit 6. Then, the landing floor call (1st floor) and the destination floor call (10th floor) of the user C are detected and recorded in the landing floor destination floor detection unit 7 for each user.

By the way, since the car 41 of Unit 1 is moving upward on the 2nd floor when the user C registers the call, the landing floor call (1st floor) of the user C is on the 2nd floor or higher. In, the service will be provided after the call of the car 41 disappears. Therefore, in the registration of the user C, the stop rank calculation is not performed for the users A and B. Further, the operation status of the car 41 of Unit 1 in the user C is stored by the user-specific stop floor detection unit 8 so as to be surrounded by the broken line in FIG.

Next to user C, user D registers "8th floor" with the destination floor registration device 11 installed at the platform on the 3rd floor. Then, the information is input to the user-specific landing floor destination floor detection unit 7 via the call information collection unit 4 and the landing floor destination floor registration processing unit 6. Then, the landing floor call (3rd floor) and the destination floor call (8th floor) of the user D are detected and recorded in the landing floor destination floor detection unit 7 for each user.

The stop floor number detection unit 8 for each user sets the landing floor 100D and the destination floor 200D in the car 41 of Unit 1 based on the information of the user D recorded in the landing floor destination floor detection unit 7 for each user. ..

Further, based on the information of the landing floor call of the user D and the destination floor call, the stop floor detection unit 8 for each user stops the user A and the user B based on the call of the user D. Performs floor calculation. When the car 41 of Unit 1 is assigned to the user D, when the landing floor and the destination floor of the user D are between the landing floor and the destination floor of the registered users (users A to C in this case). Since the landing floor and the destination floor of the user D are calculated as the stop floors of the registered users, the 8th floor is added as a new stop floor 302 of the user A here.

On the other hand, when the car 41 of Unit 1 is assigned to the user D, if the landing floor and the destination floor of the user D are between the landing floor and the destination floor of the user B, that floor is calculated as the stop floor. Therefore, no new stop floor is generated for user B.

Further, the user-specific stop floor detection unit 8 performs a stop floor calculation for the user D based on the calls of the user A and the user B. Assuming that the car 41 of Unit 1 is assigned to the user D, if the landing floor and the destination floor of the users A and B are between the landing floor and the destination floor of the user D, that is the case. The floor is calculated as the stop floor. Therefore, here, the 4th to 6th floors are added as the stop floors 303, 304, 305 in the user D. As a result, as shown in FIG. 5, the operation status of the car 41 of Unit 1 in the user D is stored by the user-specific stop floor detection unit 8 so as to be surrounded by the broken line in FIG.

As described above, the number of stopped floors for each user when the car of Unit 1 is assigned in the order of the users who have registered the call is calculated. In FIGS. 2 to 5, the case where the car of Unit 1 is assigned has been described as an example, but the stop floor detection unit for each user calculates the stop floor of each user in all the cars used. The evaluation value of the number of stopped floors when each car is assigned is calculated according to the number of stopped floors.

In the present embodiment, the user-specific stop floor detection unit 8 sets a predetermined threshold value for the stop floor, and calculates the stop floor evaluation value for each unit depending on whether or not the stop floor is equal to or higher than the threshold. For example, when the stop floor number 3 is set as a threshold value, the user-specific stop floor number detection unit 8 sets the stop floor number evaluation value to 0 and the stop floor number is 0 when the stop floor number of the user in the car of a certain unit is less than 3. If it is 3 or more, the stop floor evaluation value is set to 1. Then, the allocation car selection unit 10 allocates a machine having a low total of other evaluation values including the stop floor evaluation value detected by the user-specific stop floor detection unit 8 to the call registrant.

In the case shown in FIG. 5, since the number of stopped floors of user A is 3 in the car 41 of Unit 1 due to the call registration of user D, the evaluation of the number of stopped floors when the car 41 of Unit 1 is assigned by user D. The value is 1. In the case of FIG. 5, since the number of stopped floors of user D itself is also 3 due to the call registration of user D, the evaluation of the number of stopped floors when the car 41 of Unit 1 is assigned by user D is 1. .. Therefore, for the user D, the evaluation value of the number of stopped floors of the car 1 of Unit 1 becomes high, which makes it difficult to allocate, or the allocation is excluded. In this way, the stop rank evaluation value is determined depending on whether or not one or both of the stop floor of the registered registrant and the stop floor of the call registrant to be allocated is less than the threshold value.

<3. Detection method in priority zone detection unit>
Next, the detection method in the priority zone detection unit 9 will be described. FIG. 6 shows an example in which priority zones 400A and 500A are provided for the landing call and the destination floor call of the user A in the same situation as in FIG. As shown in FIG. 6, the priority zone detection unit 9 sets a priority zone for a certain range including the landing floor and / or the destination floor of the registered person, and calls the next user (for example, user B). Detects whether or not the registered user (user A) is in the priority zones 400A and 500A. Next, the priority zone detection unit 9 sets the priority zone evaluation value to 0 when the next user's call is in the priority zone of the registered person, and sets the priority zone evaluation value to 0 when the next user's call is not included. The evaluation value is 1. Then, the allocation car selection unit 10 allocates a unit having a low total of other evaluation values including the priority zone evaluation value detected by the priority zone detection unit 9 to each user.

There are the following four types of priority methods in the priority zone detection unit 9. (1) Landing floor priority zone Landing floor call priority (2) Destination floor priority zone Landing call priority (3) Landing floor priority zone Destination floor call priority (4) Destination floor priority zone Destination floor call priority.

(1) is a method in which a priority zone is provided on the landing floor of an already registered registrant, and priority is given to the case where the landing floor call of the subsequent call registrant is in the landing floor priority zone. (2) is a method in which a priority zone is provided on the destination floor of the registered registrant, and priority is given to the case where the destination floor call of the subsequent call registrant is in the destination floor priority zone. (3) is a method in which a priority zone is provided on the landing floor of the registered registrant, and priority is given to the case where the destination floor call of the subsequent call registrant is in the landing floor priority zone. (4) is a method in which a priority zone is provided on the destination floor of the registered registrant, and priority is given to the case where the destination floor call of the subsequent call registrant is in the destination floor priority zone.

The settings (1) to (4) can be enabled or disabled depending on the settings for each building, and can be set as appropriate. When all the priority methods from (1) to (4) are enabled, the landing floor calls and destination floor calls of users B and C who have registered after user A are in the priority zone. Absent. Therefore, the priority zone evaluation values of the user B and the user C become high, and it becomes difficult to allocate the car 41.

FIG. 7 is a view after the service for calling the landing floor 100A after FIG. As shown in FIG. 7, when the landing floor 100A is not set in the car 41, the priority zone 400A set by the landing floor 100A is also eliminated at the same time.

FIG. 8 is a diagram showing a registration status when the user E next to the user C registers the “10th floor” with the destination floor registration device 11 installed at the platform on the 8th floor. The information of the user E is input to the landing floor destination floor detection unit 7 for each user via the call information collection unit 4 and the landing floor destination floor registration processing unit 6, and is input to the landing floor destination floor detection unit 7 for each user. The landing floor call (8th floor) and the destination floor call (10th floor) of user E are detected and recorded.

The priority zone detection unit 9 sets the landing floor call and destination floor call of user E to the car 41 of Unit 1 based on the information of user E recorded in the landing floor destination floor detection unit 7 for each user. Detects whether or not the user is in the priority zone. In this case, since the landing floor call and the destination floor call of the user E satisfy the conditions of (2) and (4), the priority zone detection unit 9 is placed in the car 41 of Unit 1 with the landing floor 100E and the destination floor 200E. To set.

The landing floor of user E is the stop floor 306 of user A. Therefore, the stop floor 303 is added to the operation status of the first car 41 of the user A by the above-mentioned user-specific stop floor detection unit 8, and the new operation status of the first car 41 of the user A is added. It is remembered.

In the present embodiment, the priority zone detection unit 9 sets the priority zone when the landing floor call and / or the destination floor call of the user who has registered the call is in the priority zone set by the registered user. The evaluation value is set to 1, and if it is not included, the priority zone evaluation value is set to 0. Then, the allocation car selection unit 10 allocates a unit having a low total of other evaluation values including the priority zone evaluation value detected by the priority zone detection unit 9 to the user.

<4. Group management elevator system control method>
Next, the control method of the group management elevator system 1 will be described. FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing a control method of the group management elevator system 1 of the present embodiment. Here, the destination floor registration device 11 starts when a user registers the destination floor. Further, in the following description, the current user who has registered the destination floor with the destination floor registration device 11 is referred to as a "call registrant", and the destination floor is set with the destination floor registration device 11 before the "call registrant". The registered user will be described as "already registered user".

When the call registrant registers the destination floor in the destination floor registration device 11, the stop floor detection unit 8 for each user determines whether or not the stop floor of the call registrant is equal to or higher than the threshold value based on the call information. Determine (step S1).

If the determination of "YES" is made in step S1, that is, if it is determined that the number of stopped floors of the call registrant is equal to or greater than the threshold value, it is determined that there is a stop floor evaluation value (step S4). After step 4, the process proceeds to step S5, which will be described later.

On the other hand, when the determination of "NO" is made in step S1, that is, when it is determined that the stop rank of the call registrant is less than the threshold value, the user is based on the call registration of the call registrant. Another stop floor detection unit 8 determines whether or not the stop floor of the registered person is equal to or higher than the threshold value.

If the determination of "YES" is made in step S2, that is, if it is determined that the number of stopped floors of the registered person is equal to or greater than the threshold value, it is determined that there is an evaluation value of the number of stopped floors (step S4). After step S4, the process proceeds to step S5, which will be described later.

On the other hand, if the determination of "NO" is made in step S2, that is, if it is determined that the number of stopped floors of the registered registrant is less than the threshold value, it is determined that there is no evaluation value of the number of stopped floors (step S3). ). After that, the process proceeds to step S5.

Next, it is determined whether or not the "landing floor call" of the call registrant is in the landing floor priority zone set by the landing call of the registered person (step S5).

If the determination of "YES" is made in step S5, that is, if it is determined that the landing floor priority zone has the landing floor call priority, it is determined that there is a priority zone evaluation value (step S6). After that, the process proceeds to step S7.

On the other hand, if the determination of "NO" is made in step S5, that is, if it is determined that there is no priority for calling the landing floor in the landing floor priority zone, the process proceeds to the next step S7.

Next, it is determined whether or not the "landing floor call" of the call registrant is in the destination floor priority zone set by the destination floor call of the registered registrant (step S7).

If the determination of "YES" is made in step S7, that is, if it is determined that the destination floor priority zone landing floor call priority is present, it is determined that there is a priority zone evaluation value (step S8). After that, the process proceeds to step S9.

On the other hand, if the determination of "NO" is made in step S7, that is, if it is determined that there is no priority for calling the landing floor in the destination floor priority zone, the process proceeds to the next step S9.

Next, it is determined whether or not the "destination floor call" of the call registrant is in the landing floor priority zone set by the landing floor call of the registered registrant (step S9).

If the determination of "YES" is made in step S9, that is, if it is determined that the landing floor priority zone destination floor call priority is present, it is determined that there is a priority zone evaluation value (step S10). After that, the process proceeds to step S11.

On the other hand, if the determination of "NO" is made in step S9, that is, if it is determined that there is no priority for calling the landing floor priority zone destination floor, the process proceeds to the next step S11.

Next, it is determined whether or not the "destination floor call" of the call registrant is in the destination floor priority zone set by the destination floor call of the registered registrant (step S11).

If the determination of "YES" is made in step S11, that is, if it is determined that the destination floor priority zone has the destination floor call priority, it is determined that there is a priority zone evaluation value (step S12). After that, the process proceeds to step S13.

On the other hand, if the determination of "NO" is made in step S11, that is, if it is determined that the destination floor priority zone has no destination floor call priority, the process proceeds to the next step S13.

Next, the allocation car selection unit 10 waits time detected based on the stop rank evaluation value, the priority zone evaluation value, and the information transmitted from the car information collection unit 5 detected by the processes of steps S1 to S12. Other evaluation values such as evaluation value and car condition evaluation value are added up for each car. Here, the magnitude of the waiting time evaluation value is determined based on, for example, the time calculated from the positional relationship between the current position of the car and the landing floor call of the call registrant. Further, the magnitude of the car condition evaluation value is determined based on the load information of the car detected from the car information collecting unit 5.

Then, the allocation car selection unit 10 allocates the machine having the smallest total evaluation value to the call registrant (step S14). As a result, the assigned machine is displayed on the display unit of the destination floor registration device 11 registered by the registered person. The call registrant confirms this display and waits in front of the unit.

After that, the allocation car selection unit 10 transmits the allocation signal to the corresponding machine (step S15). As a result, the car allocation for each user based on the number of stopped floors and the priority zone is completed.

In the present embodiment, the travel time of the user can be further shortened by detecting the number of stopped floors for each user, setting a threshold value for the number of stopped floors, and changing the ease of allocating the car. Furthermore, it is possible for each user to equalize the travel time after getting on the elevator (car).

Further, in the present embodiment, by providing a priority zone in the car assigned to the registered person, the landing floor and / or the destination floor of the call registrant who subsequently performed the call registration is in the priority zone. Makes it easier to assign the call registrant a car with the priority zone. As a result, the time per lap of the car can be shortened, and the operation efficiency can be improved.

In the present embodiment, the allocation car selection unit 10 uses both the stop rank evaluation value and the priority zone evaluation value, but either one may be used. In addition, by providing a priority zone, the stopped floors can be grouped together, and since it is possible to pass through other floors, it is possible to operate at high speed, so it is possible to reduce the lap time and reduce the service completion time. Can be shortened. Further, since the priority zone control is divided into four, the waiting time and the boarding time can be balanced by changing the priority zone to be adopted.

Although the present invention has been described above based on the embodiment, the present invention is not limited to the configuration described in the above-described embodiment, and the configuration can be appropriately changed without departing from the spirit thereof. It is a thing. In addition, the above-described embodiment has been described in detail in order to explain the present invention in an easy-to-understand manner, and is not necessarily limited to the one including all the described configurations. For example, it is possible to add / delete / replace a part of the configuration of the embodiment with another configuration.
