Abstract

PURPOSE:To compact an indicator by obtaining the operating information on plural elevators and displaying 'riding possible' in the vicinity of a cage stop when it least one elevator stops at an requested floor as well as indicating floors at which this elevator stops. CONSTITUTION:Cages 8-10 are controlled by elevator control devices 1-3 in a machine room 4 and pass non-stop floors through elevating paths 5-7 according to the preset program. Passengers operate call buttons 18-26 to register the ascent or descent of the cages 8-10. An information display control device 11 obtains the operating state of the cages 8-10 by the input from the elevator control devices 1-3 and displays 'riding possible' at the indicators 14-16 of all the floors if there is even one cage stopping at the requested floor as well as displays the floors at which this cage stops. A compact indicator for enabling the passengers to know the possibility of riding easily even when many elevators are in operation can be thus produced.

- Necessary for Next, the information necessary for display will be explained.

The elevator operation information is information representing the current operating status of the elevator car, such as floors where the car stops, floors where the car does not stop, etc.

This information may be displayed in text.

It may be displayed using figures or pictures, or even text, figures or pictures may be displayed at the same time.

Therefore, next, the format of information necessary for display will be explained.

The information required for display is 1 display data and display screen editing data.

Note that all of this information is digitally coded.

These will be explained individually below.

First, display data relates to content to be displayed one time, and a registration number is assigned to each display content.

As shown in Figure 5, one piece of display data is registered, specified,
Registration number 2 Consists of screen size data and display content data.

The registration designation specifies whether the content to be displayed is text or a single figure.

When each LED on the display panel 1407 of the display device 1400 in FIG. 4 is represented by dots in the X and Y directions as shown in FIG. 6, the screen size data is calculated by the number of dots XL in the In the case of 0 character data that specifies the screen size, 8<XL<160. YL=1.2.

=1°2.3.

Display content data is either character data or graphic data.As mentioned above, 1-character data, which is a designated character code for JIS 1st and 2nd level kanji, alphanumeric characters, and kana, is a character command. is added.

Next, display screen editing data will be explained.

As described above, each screen displayed on the display panel 1407 is assigned a screen number. The number of characters or figures displayed on one screen, that is, the number of registrations, is determined by the number of registration numbers of the displayed characters or figures. The display starting points X and Y on the display panel 1407 of each display data registered in one screen are determined. Referring to FIG. 6, the starting point is 1<X<153 for character data. Y=1°17.33, and in the case of graphic data 1(x(160,
Y=1.17.33.

FIG. 7 shows an example of the structure of display screen editing data.

Note that the registration designation in FIG. 7 is a code for clarifying that it is one display screen edit data.

FIG. 8 shows the allocation status of information displayed on the display panel 1407 when the display of screen number 1 consists of 10 display data (registration numbers 5, 10 to 18), that is, the editing status of one screen. This shows that.

Next, the flow of one display will be briefly explained based on FIGS. 9 and 10. Incidentally, FIG. 9 is an example in which display is performed using ten display modules corresponding to registration numbers 11 to 18 in FIG. 8.

First, the display contents of the display panel 1407 in FIG. 4 will be explained with reference to FIG.

The plurality of elevators are divided into two groups, Group A and Group B, and the display devices 14 to 16 are installed between these groups at each floor landing. The number of the floor at which at least one of the plurality of elevators to which it belongs stops does not include the car number designation.

An alphanumeric character α displayed as 1 on the display panel 1407 represents a floor where any elevator stops, and for floors where all elevators do not stop, the location where the alphanumeric character α is displayed is converted into a figure β. indicate. Figure α is alphanumeric,
If the figure β is displayed in a form other than alphanumeric characters that is different from the figure α, the non-stop floor can be clearly seen. (a), (b), (
c) Group A elevator is 85. It shows that Group B stops at floors 3 to 28, and Group B stops at odd-numbered floors from 1 to 19. The display screen is (a), (b), (c)
The reason why the screen is divided into three screens is because it cannot be displayed on one screen, and the display is updated in the order of (a) → (b) → (Q) → (a), for example, every 3 seconds. From these display screens, passengers can know whether the elevator that will stop at the floor they want to go to is Group A or Group B.

As for whether or not the elevator car stops at the floor you are on, in FIG. 9, the fact that the car stops is symbolized by a figure γ showing the shape of walking toward the platform entrance, making it easy to understand.

In the series of displays (a), (b), and (Q) in Figure 9, the figure γ is displayed for both groups A and B, so the passenger looking at that display panel is in the group on the floor he or she is on. A, H
It turns out that both elevators stop. These are the contents displayed on the display devices installed on odd-numbered floors among the 1st to 19th floors.

(d) of FIG. 9 is an alternative to (a), and shows by a figure δ that the elevator of group B does not stop at the floor where the user is. (b), the figure γ of (0) is (d)
When (b) to (d) are used in combination in place of the figure δ, these are the contents displayed on the display devices installed on the even-numbered floors of the 1st to 19th floors and the 20th to 28th floors.

In addition, when a passenger looks at a display panel with only the figure δ without the figure γ displayed, the passenger can also check the number of the stop floor that is displayed at the same time.
You can know which floor you should take the escalator or stairs to to get on the elevator.

Next, the flow of these displays will be explained with reference to FIG. First, the information display control device 11 periodically inputs the floor to be stopped from the elevator control devices 1 to 3. The floor at which the elevator stops can be flexibly changed by changing the stop floor designation in elevator control bags [1 to 3]. Then, a floor on which none of the elevator control devices 1 to 3 stops is found, and display data is created so that the number of that floor is converted into the figure .beta. shown in FIG.

Next, check from the above data whether the elevator will stop at the floor where the displays 14 to 16 are installed for each display, and if it does not stop, change the figure γ in Figure 9 to the figure δ. Create display data so that

From the above, the information display control device issues a display command to the LED display on each floor to display the created display data, and
The D display will display according to those instructions.

When a passenger looks at the figures γ on the displays 14 to 16 and confirms the floor where the car stops, for example, if he is on the 5th floor and wants to go to the 16th floor, he will go to the group A platform even if there is no designated car number.
Press the call button installed there. Once a car has been assigned and the car is about to arrive, the passenger can board the car after the car has arrived by going to the entrance where the hall lantern (not shown in FIG. 1) is lit. Therefore, the driver can quickly press the call button without having to wander around the boarding area, such as having to go to the boarding area of group A after going to the boarding area of group B and finding out that it will not stop.

Furthermore, even if the elevators are not grouped, if the indicators 14 to 16 are installed on the aisle away from the platform, just by looking at the figures γ and δ, you can decide whether to use the elevator or not. Since it is possible to decide whether to use the stairs or not, the passenger can go directly to the stairs before going to the platform, and the guidance for each passenger is friendly.

According to this embodiment, there is an effect that information as a basis for determining whether a group of multiple elevators can be used can be presented according to the height of the building without increasing the number of display devices.

Even if the stoppage of the elevator is often changed due to events in the building, passengers can immediately know whether or not they can board the elevator just by looking at the display. Furthermore, it is no longer necessary for the manager to visit the entrances and exits of each elevator on each floor to correct the tags indicating non-stop every time there is a change to stop or non-stop.

Since the display displays all the floors to be stopped if any of the plurality of elevators stops, it is smaller than a display that indicates whether each elevator has stopped or not.

〔Effect of the invention〕

According to the present invention, when a plurality of elevators are installed, it is possible to provide a small-sized display and guidance device that allows passengers to easily know whether or not they can board a car.
