Abstract

PURPOSE:To reduce uncomfortability of a user by providing a registering device for a hall destination floor call, and a possible call registration number setting means for storing in memory a corresponding possible call registration number setting value so as to reduce useless operation of an elevator. CONSTITUTION:A microcomputer 5 has a hall call input and output control section 6, a cage call input and output control section 7, a call registration processing section 8, and a possible hall call registration number setting section 9. When an input is made by a button on a cage call registration device 4, whether a hall destination floor call is inputted or not is discriminated, if it is inputted but no hall designated floor call is present, the number of registered hall destination floor calls is compared with the number of registered calls. If the former is not larger than the latter, the call registration is carried out so as to register it as a registered hall destination floor call, and then lamp output is made from a registration device at the destined floor. Accordingly, the number of hall destination floor calls may be limited to a previously set value, thereby it is possible to reduce useless operation of the elevator and to enhance the service for users.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[Purpose of the invention]

0001

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an elevator hall call registration device.

0002

[Prior Art] Conventionally, in a general elevator, by registering up and down platform calls provided at the landing, the elevator responds to the calls, and when the door opens, the user gets into the car and moves to the destination floor within the car. I registered and headed to my destination floor.

[0003] Also, recently, the destination floor can be registered at the platform by pressing the destination floor call button provided at the platform, and when the user arrives at the elevator, the user can register at the platform by boarding the car. There are elevators that automatically transfer the destination floor to the destination floor call in the car and take you to the destination floor.

0004

[Problem to be Solved by the Invention] However, in this elevator, a large number of destination floor calls are registered at the landing, and when a waiting passenger at the landing gets on the elevator upon arrival, all the registered destination floor calls are transferred to the car. However, some people may not be able to board the train because it is full. In that case, the destination floor of the floor that no one uses will remain registered, and the elevator will stop at a floor with no users, resulting in unnecessary operation.
There was a problem in that it deteriorated driving efficiency and caused discomfort to passengers inside the car.

The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object thereof is to provide an elevator hall call registration device that reduces wasteful operation of the elevator and reduces user discomfort. [Structure of the invention]

[0006]

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention includes a landing floor destination floor call registration device provided at a landing, and a number-of-call-registration setting means for storing a corresponding number-of-call-registration setting value. It is characterized by having.

[0007]

[Operation] In the elevator landing call registration method according to the present invention, when the landing floor call button provided at the landing is pressed, the number of already registered calls is less than or equal to the preset value of the number of registered calls. If so, call registration is permitted, and if it exceeds, it is not permitted.

[0008]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Examples of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of an elevator system to which the present invention is applied. In this figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a landing destination floor call registration device installed at a landing, and here it is assumed that it is set only on the first floor of the entrance/exit floor of a building. 2 is a landing call registration device installed on other floors, here 1
Only the floors are illustrated.

3 is the elevator car, and 4 is the car 3
This is a car call registration device installed inside the car. Reference numeral 5 denotes a microcomputer in the elevator control device (not shown), which performs door opening/closing control, running, stopping processing, etc. necessary for elevator operation, and also controls a platform call input/output control unit 6, a car call input/output control unit 7, and a call registration process. This configuration includes a section 8 and a call registration number setting section 9.

The call registration processing section 8 receives input from the buttons of the car call registration device 4 through the landing call input/output control section 6, the landing destination floor call registration device 1 and the landing floor call registration device 2, and the car call input/output control section 7. After the calculation, output processing to the corresponding registered lamps is performed. For example, a PROM or an E2 PROM is used in the call registerable number setting unit 9, and the maximum number of calls that can be registered simultaneously in the landing floor call registration device 1 is set in advance, and is used for the processing of the call registration processing unit 8.

FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing a specific process of the present invention, and other processes that are not according to the present invention, such as elevator stoppage, door opening/closing control, and transfer of a landing floor call to the car, are not shown. . First, in S1, it is determined whether the platform destination floor call has been input, and if it has not been input, the process goes to END, and if it has been input, the process goes to S2. S2
Then, if there is a platform destination floor call that has already been registered, proceed to S4.
If there is no such information, proceed to S3.

[0012] In S3, the number of already registered landing floor calls is compared with the number of registered calls, and if it is greater than the number, the process exits to END, and if not, the process advances to S4. In S4, a call registration process is performed and the call is registered as an already registered floor call. In S5, a lamp output process to the landing destination floor call registration device is performed. For example, suppose that the number of calls that can be registered is set to 9 when the landing destination floor call registration device is installed on the lowest floor in a building with a 16-story floor and a car with a capacity of 9 people.

[0013] In this example, the landing destination floor call registration device is equipped with destination floor call buttons for the 2nd to 16th floors, excluding the own floor, and by pressing any button, up to 9 floors can be registered. However, it will not be registered after that.

[0014]

[Effects of the Invention] As explained above, according to the elevator landing call registration method of the present invention, the number of landing floor calls can be limited to a preset value, for example, set to the same value as the car capacity. If you do so, the number of people registered will exceed the capacity, and not everyone will be able to board the car, and there will be obvious problems such as unnecessary stoppages in response to car calls with no passengers transferred to the car, or registration of all floors due to mischief. It is possible to reduce wasteful driving when the vehicle is stopped.

[0015] Furthermore, since it is not always the case that one person uses one platform destination floor call, it is not necessary to allow up to the maximum number of passengers to be registered; for example, it is more effective to set the value to half the number of passengers. Become. In this case, there is no major problem because waiting passengers whose destination floor could not be registered at the platform can register their destination floor inside the car. As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to reduce wasteful operation of the elevator, increase operating efficiency, and improve service to users.
