Abstract

PURPOSE: To prevent the lowering of operation efficiency with the minimum button operation even in the case where a destination floor of a passenger is different from the automatically registered floor of car call by providing a means for canceling the car call of a specified floor when registration of a car call of a destination floor except for a specified floor is recognized. CONSTITUTION: When a car of an elevator is stopped at a landing, car call for a specified floor in a traveling position is automatically registered by a specified floor car call automatically registering means. During the time after the car call of the specified floor is automatically registered till a departure of the car from the landing, when a destination floor except for the specified floor is operated by a passenger, a car call of a corresponding destination floor is registered by a car call registering means 14BX. A judging means 14AX judges that the car call for the corresponding destination floor is registered by the car call registering means 14BX, and a car call for the specified floor automatically registered by the specified floor car call automatically registering means is canceled. As a result, deterioration of the operation efficiency can be prevented by the minimum button operation.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial Field of Application] The present invention relates to an improvement in an elevator call registration device.

[Conventional technology]

Traditionally, elevators had an upper button located at the landing.

A landing call is registered using the down button and the down button, and the car is called by this landing call.

Then, the crew member who has boarded the arriving car registers a car call using a destination button installed inside the car and drives the car to the desired floor.

However, there are cases where it is possible to predict the registration of car calls in advance depending on the use of each floor of a building and the relationship between each floor depending on the use. For example, during lunch time in an office building, a landing call is registered by pressing the up (or down @) button on the floor used as an office. Or the case where the car call on the floor where the cafeteria is located (downstairs) is almost always registered. In addition, in most hotels, the lobby floor and the guest room floor are interchangeable, and the car call on the lobby floor is almost always registered in the car that responds to the down call on each room floor.

In such a case, 2% after responding to the first landing call as described in Japanese Patent Publication No. 130984/1984.

It is convenient to automatically register a car call for a predetermined specific floor when it is detected that a passenger has boarded or exited the car, thereby saving the trouble of operating a destination button within the car. However, passengers who board the train do not necessarily go to the specific floor. At this time, the passenger will operate the destination button for the desired floor, but since the car call for the specific floor remains, this call will end up being a wasted call, reducing operational efficiency. was.

Therefore, as described in Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 59-190175, a reset button is provided in the car, and when this reset button is operated by one passenger, the above-mentioned wasteful call (car call of a specific floor that has been automatically registered) is activated. ) has been proposed.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

However, when the above reset button is installed on the car operation panel, it is necessary to operate the destination button of the desired floor twice and to operate the reset ml above corresponding to the automatically registered car call.
There was a problem in that the automatic registration of car calls actually increased the effort required to operate the buttons. In addition, there were also problems in terms of manufacturing costs, such as the provision of the reset button increased costs accordingly.

This invention was made to solve the above problems, and even if the destination floor of 9 passengers is different from the automatically registered car call floor, it prevents a decrease in exercise efficiency with a minimum of button operations. The purpose is to obtain an elevator call registration device rt- that can be used.

[Means for solving problems]

An elevator call registration device according to the present invention.

A destination button located inside the elevator car to register the car call of the destination floor, and an automatic specific floor car call that automatically registers the car call of a specific floor located in front of the direction of operation when the car stops at the landing. Registration means and.

After the car call for the specific floor is automatically registered and until the car departs from the landing, the car call for the corresponding destination floor is registered by operating the destination button on a floor other than the specific floor. and determining means for determining that the car call for the corresponding destination floor has been registered by the car call registration means and canceling the automatically registered car call for the specific floor. It is.

[Effect]

An elevator call registration device according to the present invention.

When a boarding passenger operates a destination KJ of a floor different from the floor of the automatically registered car call, a new corresponding car call is registered and the automatically registered car call is canceled.

When HJ and Nashi are fully closed, the temporary car call signal on the 1st floor is reset to rLJ. (70X) is a "passenger detection" signal when the output of the push device installed on the car floor of Unit 1 increases, and vice versa. When the value becomes smaller, the boarding/alighting passenger detection device determines that the passenger is getting off the train.
This is a boarding detection signal that becomes rHJ when detected. (71

The OR gate (8!+5) sends the 1st floor temporary car call set signal (assa) without operating the 1st floor destination button (jBX).
) functions as an automatic registration means for car calls generated.

In the system configured as described above, if we assume that Car No. 1 is on the 6th floor in the descending direction and Car No. 2 is on the 1st floor in the ascending direction, the circuit for the 3rd floor of the landing call cancellation circuit (14AX) of Car No. 1 is (Figure 5) shows the car position signal (43X) on the third floor.
is "L", so AND gates (811), (81

is output. Similarly, the down call cancellation command signal of Unit 2 (
55DY), and up call cancellation command signal (55UX)
is also output as rLJ.

Now, at the landing on the third floor, a passenger presses the bottom button (3) on the landing control panel aυ.
D), a cancellation command signal (ssDX) is pressed.

(55DY) are all rLJ, so the down button signal (3
D) By (:TH3), the contents of memory (sat) are r
When set to HJ, the 3rd floor descending call signal (53D) becomes rHJ and the 3rd floor descending light (3
DL) lights up, letting passengers know that a downbound call for the third floor has been registered. Then, in the allocation circuit (13B), the No. 1 car that is expected to be able to respond to the call coming down from the 3rd floor in the shortest time is assigned, and at the 3rd floor landing, the lower lantern (+1DX) of the No. 1 car is lit and 3 Inform passengers on the floor that Unit 1 will serve them.

Unit 1 is in the down direction (down direction signal (5+DX) = r
When reaching the 3rd floor at HJ, the 3rd floor car position signal (43X) is r.
When the train decides to stop in response to the 3rd floor down call (330), the hall call response signal (62X) becomes rHJ.

OR game) Since the output of (853) is rHJ, AN
D Game) (811) causes the 3rd floor descending call cancellation command signal (55DX) to be "January. Therefore, OR gate (811)
31) becomes rHJ, the contents of the memory (801) are reset to rLJ, and the third floor lower call signal (33) is reset to rLJ.
D) becomes "l", and the 3rd floor down button light (3DL) becomes a drunken light.

Further, the down hall lantern (uDX) changes from a lit state to a blinking state to notify the arrival of a car.

- In the 1st floor circuit (Fig. 6) of the car call spine circuit (14BX) of Unit 1, the 1st floor car call is not registered, so the contents of memories (804) and (805) are both the same. The positive return car call signal (21RX) and temporary car call signal (21TX) are rLJ. Then, Unit 1 is in the closed state (fully closed detection switch signal (s4x) =
rHJ ), the temporary car call reset signal (837a) is in the rHJ state via the OR gate (837) '(y-). At that time, car No. 1 is responding to the 3rd floor down call and responding to the hall call. When the signal (62X) is rHJ and the door starts opening after stopping, the fully closed detection switch signal (54X) becomes "
"L", so the temporary car call reset signal (s37a)
becomes rLJ. When the door is fully opened and a passenger gets on board the first car, the passenger detection device (70X) detects "boarding" and the boarding detection signal (70Xa) becomes rHJ. At this time, both the down direction signal (s+DX) and the hall call response signal (62X) are "H", so the AND game)
The output of (820) is rHJ, and the third floor car position signal (43X) is also rHJ, so the output of AND gate (818) is "January J OR game". Temporary car call is set via (835). The signal (assa) becomes "H". Therefore, the contents of the memory (805) are rHJK set, temporary car call number (21TX) haraJ, and OR
1st floor car call signal (21X) via (83B)
) becomes rHJ.

1st floor destination button light (II,
Side: Lights up to notify passengers in the car that a car call on the first floor has been registered.

If the passenger boarding Car No. 1 is a passenger going to the first floor, there is no need to press the destination ml (I BX) for the first floor in the car because the car call for the first floor has already been registered. Therefore, when Unit 1 starts closing the door and is about to complete closing, the vehicle call response signal (62X) changes from rHJ to rLJ, so the output of the NOT gate (841) changes from "L" to r)IJ.
Then, the regular car call registration command signal (822a) becomes rHJ via the AND gate (822).

Furthermore, since the output of the OR gate (834) also becomes rHJ, the contents of the memory (804) are set to "H" and the regular car call signal (21RX) becomes rHJ. When Unit 1 completes door closing, the fully closed detection switch signal (5
4X) becomes rHJ, so the temporary car call reset signal (8
57a) becomes rHJ and temporary car call signal (21TX)
is reset to "L". After the door is closed.

Unit 1 starts traveling towards the 1st floor, and when it reaches the 1st floor (1st floor car position signal (41X) = rH, J) and stops, the stop signal (50X) changes from "L" to rHJ, so A.
The output of the ND gate (814) is ruJ and the memory (8
The contents of 04) are reset to rLJ, the regular car call signal (21RX) becomes "L", and the OR gate (83
The output of 8) also becomes rLJ and the first floor car call (21X)
is cleared, and the first destination light (ILX) on the first floor is also turned off, notifying passengers in the car that the car call on the first floor has been answered.

The above is the normal operation.

If a passenger who boarded Unit 1 on the 3rd floor is going to the 2nd floor instead of the 1st floor, he or she will press the destination button (3BX) on the 2nd floor. At this time, the content of the memory (803) is "H"
The second floor car call (22X) is registered and the second floor destination button light (2LX) lights up.

Notify passengers in the car that the car call on the second floor has been registered. On the other hand, when the second floor destination button (2BX) is pressed, the output of the OR gate (856) of the judgment circuit (7+X) becomes rHJ, so the output of the AND gate (821) becomes rHJ.
(OR game) (837) The temporary car call reset signal (857a) becomes "H" via t-. Therefore, the contents of the memory (805) are reset to rLJ,
The temporary car call signal (21TX) is reset to l'-LJ without waiting for the completion of closing of 9 doors, and the OR gate (85B)
The output also becomes "L", the first floor car call (21X) is canceled, and the first floor destination button light (ILX) is turned off. Just before the door closes, the hall call response signal (62X) changes from rHJ to r
Even if it becomes LJ.

At this time, the temporary car call signal (21TX) has already become rLJ, so the regular car call registration command signal (822a) will not become rHJ, and other passengers will be able to press the 1st floor destination button (IB).
X) Regular car call on the first floor (21RX) unless you press t-
) are not registered. Therefore, passengers going to the second floor can also cancel the car call on the first floor by simply operating the second floor destination button (2BX). The same applies when responding to a call from the fourth floor to the sixth floor.

In this way, in the above embodiment, when a passenger gets into a car that responds to a down call from the 2nd to 6th floors, a call from the 1st floor is automatically registered, and if the passenger's destination floor is 1. When the car is on a floor other than the above floor, the automatically registered car call on the first floor is canceled at the same time as the destination floor is specified, so unnecessary stops to the first floor can be prevented, and the trouble of the above reset operation can be simplified. Furthermore, there is no need to provide a special distributor for the reset operation, and an increase in costs can be prevented.

In addition, in the above embodiment, the car call for a specific floor (=1st floor) is fully automatically registered only when a passenger is detected by the passenger detection device (70X). This was provided to prevent unnecessary car calls from being registered without passengers boarding the car. In buildings where there is no need to worry about registration of unnecessary car calls, a 9 passenger detection device (70X
) is not necessary, and it is easy to configure the car to register a car call for a specific floor immediately when the car responds to a hall call. It is also clear that it is applicable to a system in which a car call on a specific floor is fully automatically registered immediately when the car is assigned to a second hall call.

Further, in the above embodiment, a car call on a specific floor can be automatically registered only when a hall call is being answered (hall call answering signal (62x)=rHJ). However, the response is not to the hall call but to the car call (car call answering signal (61X) = "
It is also possible to consider a system in which a car call for a specific floor is fully automatically registered when a single passenger is detected even when the car has stopped, and the present invention can be applied to such a system as well.

Furthermore, in the determination circuit C71X) in the above embodiment, if any of the destination buttons on the 2nd to 6th floors is operated during the response to the 9th hall call, it is determined that the 1st destination floor is not the specific floor (=1st floor). Then, the car call for that destination floor is registered, and the car call for the specific floor is canceled. but,
When a large number of passengers board the car, there is a high possibility that X passengers going to the specific floor will be included, so canceling the car call for the specific floor is problematic.

FIG. 7 shows a second embodiment of the invention, in which the IL
This circuit corresponds to the determination circuit (71X) in the XB diagram. In the figure, (80) is a cancellation validity determination circuit, (80

This is a normal time signal. (76) is a car call number detection device that counts the number of registered car calls on the 2nd to 6th floors and outputs a car call number signal; (77) is a comparator (73
), (7B) is a constant value signal representing 2 (pieces), (825) is an AND gate.

In the determination circuit (71X) configured in this way, when traffic is congested (normal time signal (75a) = rLJ) L,
or when the car call number signal (76a) exceeds the constant value signal (7B) (= 2) and the output of the comparator (77) becomes "L", or when the 1 passenger signal ( 72a
) becomes the constant value signal (74) (= 3 people) or more and the output of the comparator (73) becomes rLJ, the cancellation effective signal (aOa) becomes "L", so the passengers are not on a specific floor. Even if you operate the destinations m1 (2BX) to (6BX), AND game) (821) will always become "LJ", so the car call for the above specific floor (21TX) 'i will not be canceled.

In this way, in situations where there is a high possibility that there will be passengers going to the above-mentioned specific floor, we have disabled the ability to cancel a car call for a specific floor by operating the second-row button, so we will register the car call for a specific floor again. It can save you the trouble of having to fix it.

In each of the above embodiments, the first floor is set as the floor where car calls are automatically registered, but the relationship between the 1st landing call and the car call automatic registration floor does not apply to the embodiments.As mentioned above, the purpose of each floor is The relationship between each floor and the time of day is set, and the correlation between the occurrence of 9 platform calls and car calls is determined by actual measurements using a traffic measurement device, and automatically calculated based on the statistical processing results.

For destination 1 light (ILXA), the car call on the 1st floor is officially registered (regular car call signal (21Rx) = "H"
), it lights up in the same "yellow" color as the destination button lights (2LX) to (6LX) on other floors via OR game) (859). Furthermore, if the cancellation valid signal (80a) is rLJ and the temporary car call signal (21TX) on the first floor is rHJ, the NOT gate (842) and the AND gate (8

This allows the passenger to distinguish between a car call that cannot be canceled by the 9th destination button and a car call that can be canceled, thereby eliminating confusion when operating the 2nd destination button.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As described above, according to the present invention, in an elevator call registration device equipped with automatic car call registration means for automatically registering car calls for a specific floor, car calls for destination floors other than ITf regular floors are registered. Since the car call for the specific floor is canceled, even if the destination floor of two passengers is different from the automatically registered car call floor, a reduction in operating efficiency can be prevented with a minimum of button operations.
