Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent confusion in a riding spot by collectively display controlling a story, where each elevator is determined to serve by a call assigning device, corresponding to a position of each elevator on a collective destination story display device. CONSTITUTION:When a 9-story destination button 7h is operated, for instance, in a 3-story riding spot, a condition of elevators No.1 machine 1 to No.6 machine 6 is input to a cage call assigning device 9. As a result, when the No.1 machine 1 is judged optimum assigned relating to a call by the destination story button 7h, a No.1 machine assigning call 11 is output. In a display control device 10, the 9-story destination call outputs information of an effect with the No.1 machine serving to a collective destination story display device 8 with information for displaying the No.1 machine 1 to No.6 machine 6 elevators like a map. Accordingly, the elevator to serve for the own desired destination story can be easily found out by the collective destination story display device 8. In this way, confusion in a riding spot can be prevented.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to an elevator destination floor display device for displaying the destination floor of an elevator on a landing of parallel elevators.

(Prior art) At the elevator landings for commuting to school, there are two buttons for going up and getting off for each direction, and when there are multiple elevators, a display device is installed to display the elevator assigned to serve each direction. ing. In addition, an increasing number of systems are displaying not only the elevator service at the time of arrival but also the service elevator at the time the call is registered.

On the other hand, from the perspective of operational efficiency, a system that assigns passengers going to the same floor to the same car is superior.

FIG. 4 shows a destination floor display device for an elevator disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 53-40843, which is applicable to, for example, a third floor landing. In the figure, (1) and (2) are the landing doors of elevator No. 1 and No. 2, respectively.
(7) is the destination floor button (7a) for the 1st floor, 2nd floor, and 4th to 9th floors.
- (7h) are arranged and the corresponding calls are registered in common for Units 1 and 2, (20)
, (21) are the arrival forecast lights for ascending and disembarking cars in Unit 1, (22) and (23) are the arrival forecast lights for ascending and disembarking cars in Unit 2, and (18) are the landing doors for Unit 1 (
1) A destination floor indicator that is installed above and displays numbers, letters, etc. that correspond to each floor, and when lit, displays the destination of the car in car No. 1. (19) is also the destination of the car in car No. 2. It is a floor indicator.

Now, at the landing on the 3rd floor, press the 5WiI destination floor button (7d) and 8
Assume that the destination floor button (7g) is pressed. A call assignment device (not shown) assigns these calls to each car, and
Assume that the floor call is assigned to car No. 1, and the call for the 8th floor is assigned to car No. 2. The signals corresponding to these assignments light up the destination floor indicators (1a) and (19) of 3wi, respectively, and as shown in the diagram, the car of No. 1 is assigned a service to the 5th floor. In addition to displaying 2
It is displayed that the car in car number is bound for the 8th floor. This allows customers to check which car will take them to their desired floor without confusion, and then to each landing door (1) and (2).
All you have to do is wait in front of it.

[Problem to be solved by the invention] However, in the above-mentioned system, if the car to board is not clearly indicated, confusion will occur at the landing and operation efficiency will not improve. I had no choice but to look at each elevator's display in turn to find out if it was working. In other words, even though the chime would sound when the destination floor was first registered, people who wanted to go to the same destination floor later had to watch the chime in order.

In addition, a display device must be installed in each elevator, which poses a problem in that it is more expensive than conventional direction-based display devices.

This invention was made in order to solve the above-mentioned problems, and it is possible to clearly instruct passengers at the hall which car they should board, thereby preventing confusion in the hall, and it is easy to use and inexpensive. The purpose is to obtain a display device.

[Means to solve the problem]

The destination floor display device for an elevator according to the present invention is installed at a landing for a plurality of elevators installed in parallel, and is operated by a passenger so that each elevator assigned by a call assignment device is in service in response to a call corresponding to a desired destination floor. The elevator destination floor display device is configured to display the destination floor of each elevator, and includes a collective destination floor display device that displays the destination floor of each elevator on a common screen. The present invention is provided with a display control means for controlling a collective display of floors on which it has been decided to display a floor in accordance with the position of each elevator on the collective destination floor display.

(Operation) In the present invention, the display control means controls the collective display of the floors that are determined to be serviced by each elevator by the call assignment device in accordance with the position of each elevator on the collective destination floor display.

〔Example〕

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIGS. 1 and 2 show a front view of the hall and an example of the screen of the collective destination floor display in this embodiment, and FIG. 3 shows a display control block of the collective destination floor display. In Figures 1 to 3, (1) to 3) are the landing doors of elevators 1 to 3, and (4) to 6) are not shown, but they are elevators (1) to 3). The landing doors of elevators No. 4 to No. 6 facing each other across the landing, (7) are arranged with destination floor buttons (7a) to 7h) for the 1st floor, 2nd floor, and 4th to 9th floors. A hall operation panel that commonly registers the corresponding call to the elevator (1) or 6), (8) is the elevator (1) or 6)
) displays the destination floor of the elevator (1) or 6) when a signal from the destination floor button (7a) or 7h) is input.
a call assignment device that calculates the running direction, position, call, etc. of a car and assigns the car most suitable for responding to that call;
(1o) inputs the assigned calls (11) to (16) for cars 1 to 6, which are output from the call allocation device (9), and displays the collective destination floor display ( 8) as image information (17).

Assume that the destination floor button (7h) for the 9th floor is operated at the landing on the 3rd floor shown in FIG. As a result of inputting the status of the elevators of cars No. 1 (1) to No. 6 (6), the car call allocation device (9) uses a known allocated car selection function to select car No. 1 in response to the call made by the destination floor button (7h). (1)
If it is determined that it is optimal to allocate
11) is output. The display control device (lO) is installed in Unit 1 (1
) outputs to the collective destination floor display (8) information indicating that elevator No. 6 (6) is mapped and information that calls for the 9th floor will be serviced by No. 1.

In Figure 2, the six squares facing the elevator landing surrounded by two horizontal lines are the elevators, and from the top left to the top right are 1
Cars No. 1 (1) to No. 3 (3) are shown, and Cars No. 4 (1) to No. 6 (6) are shown from bottom left to bottom right. In addition, "Current position" indicates the position of the collective destination floor indicator (8) that the operator is looking at, and "Front side" and "Rear side" each indicate the position of the elevator as seen from the operator. On the screen created by the above-mentioned "information that displays elevators in a map,"
The number "9" shown in the square indicating the first machine (1) indicates the 9th floor, which is the floor served by the first machine.

In this Figure 2, there are many numbers other than "9", which indicate the service floors of each elevator that were already displayed. In other words, the call for the 7th floor (7f) is sent to the 1st floor (1), the 4th floor call (7C) is sent to the 3rd floor (3), the 1st floor call (7a) and the 2nd floor call (7b). ) indicates that both are assigned to machine No. 6 (6).

Therefore, the collective destination floor display allows the user to easily find an elevator that will service the desired destination floor, and since there is no need to install a destination floor display for each elevator, low costs can be realized.

Note that here, for each elevator, there is only space to display the call for the second floor, but it may be closed when the number of floors becomes three or more. Alternatively, the operated call may be displayed preferentially, and the already displayed call may be erased. moreover,
Calls may be displayed cyclically as many as can be displayed.

Further, in the above embodiment, the destination floor is shown, but if the normal allocation by direction occurs due to conditions, the direction in which the service is provided can be switched and displayed on the same map display.

Further, other information can be additionally displayed on the screen of the above embodiment. For example, the predicted waiting time until service, the current load in the car, the direction of travel, etc. can be considered.

Furthermore, the fact that the elevator has arrived or is currently arriving may be indicated by blinking or changing the color of the number indicating the destination floor.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As described above, according to the present invention, the floors to be serviced by each elevator are centrally displayed in a map manner, so that the collective destination floor display can be used to select the elevator that will service the desired destination floor. In addition to being easy to find, there is no need to install a destination floor indicator in each elevator, which reduces costs, and clearly instructs passengers on the car they should board, thereby preventing confusion in the hall. .
