Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve the service by providing a shuttle elevator capable of running a plurality of service zones, usually running only a part of service zones, providing new elevator stop floors in unused service zone if necessary, and changing over operation control to this service zone. CONSTITUTION:By operating the changeover switch 7 in a monitoring chamber 16, middle and high story part service shuttle elevator 11 is usually operated together with a middle story part service shuttle elevator 10 in group operation, for example, a round-trip between a basic floor, the first floor and a sky lobby the thirtieth floor is performed by them, but the service to a sky lobby the sixtieth floor is also possible. When for going to a high story part over the sixtieth floor the waiting time and the boarding time of the user of the elevator are longer than that of users of the low story part or the middle story part, the middle and high story part service shuttle elevator 11 is served to the sixtieth floor to shorten waiting time of the high story part and increase transport capacity with the changeover switch 7. Hereby, the service is improved.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Purpose of the invention] (Industrial application field) The present invention relates to a method of operating an elevator.

(Conventional technology) Conventional elevator planning, which is often seen in high-rise buildings, is to divide the building into zones such as low-rise and high-rise, and to provide services to each floor (zone) by dividing it into groups of specialized elevators. there were.

Furthermore, in skyscrapers, shuttle elevators that go back and forth between the departure standard floor and the sky lobby floor are effective, and it is also possible to transfer to the local service elevator that serves each floor from the sky lobby floor to reach the destination floor. There is.

(Problem to be solved by the invention) However, in such conventional operation planning, the number of elevators assumed in traffic plans and simulations at the time of building planning does not necessarily grasp accurate demand, so it is not possible to provide service in actual use. There was a lack of information, and there was no way to deal with it, causing confusion for users.

Also,! Although good elevator service was provided at the time of completion of the building, the number of people living in the building's inner layer tended to increase over the years, and there was no way to flexibly respond to this increase in the number of building users. Ta.

From the elevator side, there was no backup method in case the elevator malfunctioned, which could have an impact on users.

This invention was made to solve these conventional problems.
In addition, as a backup method in the event of elevator failure, a new elevator stopping floor (service zone) has been created, and elevators that service this new elevator stopping floor and elevators that have traditionally been stopped are operated in groups. It is an object of the present invention to provide an elevator operating method that makes it possible to efficiently service -stages by doing so.

[Structure of the invention]

(Means for Solving the Problems) The present invention provides a shuttle elevator that can run in multiple service zones, and normally runs only in a part of the service zones, and if necessary, a shuttle elevator can move to an unused service zone. This service zone is equipped with a control switching device for switching operation #Aall to this service zone.

(Function) With this configuration, when the number of elevator users in the building increases or when the elevator breaks down and satisfactory elevator service cannot be obtained, the switching button of the control switching device can be activated. The number of new floors that can be serviced will increase, and by configuring a new elevator group management system with other existing elevators, it will be possible to immediately respond to changes in elevator demand.

In high-rise buildings, it is advantageous to install a shuttle elevator that goes back and forth between the departure standard floor and the sky lobby floor in terms of increasing transportation capacity, building rental rates, and reducing the number of platforms. Since there are disadvantages such as the long elevator usage time due to the service, the above-mentioned problems can be flexibly dealt with by providing new stopping floors for such shuttle elevators and operating in groups.

(Real color example) The present invention will be explained based on the embodiment shown in FIG.

In the system block diagram of the control switching device according to the present invention shown in FIG. 1, an elevator control device 1 sends and receives signals necessary for elevator operation. That is, when an elevator user presses a hall call button at an elevator hall, a signal is input to the arithmetic circuit 3 from the hall call registration port R2. The arithmetic circuit 3 determines the current operating status of the elevators and the floor where the hall call is registered, and then allocates the most suitable elevator.

The car responds to the hall call, and after arriving, the elevator user gets into the car and presses the car call button, thereby inputting a signal to the car call registration port B4, and transmitting the signal to the elevator operation circuit 5 and the elevator drive port B6. and the elevator is driven.

At this point, by switching the changeover switch 7 installed in the elevator machine room or the control room, it is possible to register the landing call for a new stop floor that has been set in advance, and it is also possible to allocate a new car accordingly. Become. A signal is input to the service floor display 8 which displays the corresponding service floor, and the new service floor is displayed in the elevator hall or in the car.

Figure 2 shows the configuration of this system.

This building 9 has 90 stories, and the elevator service floors are from the 1st floor to the 90th floor.

By activating the changeover switch 7 provided in the monitoring room 16, the mid-rise and high-rise service shuttle elevators 11 are changed to the normal middle-rise service shuttle elevators 10.
Multiple units are operated in groups to provide round-trip service between the 1st floor of the standard floor and the 30th floor of the Sky Lobby, but the structure is also designed to provide service to the 60th floor of the Sky Lobby.

Therefore, if the elevator waiting time and ride time to go to the high-rise areas above 60th floor are significantly longer than those using the low-rise areas or the middle-rise areas, selector switch 7 can be used to switch between the middle- and high-rise area service shuttles. Elevator 11 will also serve the 60th floor, reducing waiting time in high-rise areas and increasing transportation capacity.

FIG. 3 shows a sequence circuit diagram of the switching device of the present invention. This circuit shows the case where the service floors of the shuttle elevator are the 1st floor, the 30th floor, and the 60th floor, and the control equipment is connected to the power lines Pc and Nc of the control bus.

That is, the call buttons 34a on the 1st, 30th, and 60th floors;
35a and 36a are respectively connected to call registration Ry (relays) 31, 32, and 33.

Hall call buttons 45a, 46a, 47a, and 48a for the 1st floor, 30th floor down, 30th floor up, and 60th floor are connected to corresponding hall call registrations Ry41, 42, 43, and 44, respectively.

Signals are input to the arithmetic circuit 3 from the hall call registration Ry41, 42, 43, 44, and as a result of the calculation, the optimum car is assigned to the floor where the hall call is registered. Thereafter, by pressing a button from the car inside the car, the call button is closed, and the call registration Ry is closed, and the call registration Ry is self-held.

A signal from the car call registration Ry is input to the elevator operation circuit 5.

Switch 20 for elevator machine room or monitoring room, etc.
By providing and inputting this, switching Ry30
is excited, and it becomes possible to register calls using the 60th floor car call button 36a, the 30th floor ascending platform call button 47a, and the 60th floor platform call button 48a.

Further, the changeover switch 20a is turned on, the changeover Ry is excited, and the service floor display 8 displays a new service floor.

The operation of the circuit with this configuration will be explained.

In the building 9 shown in Fig. 2, people going to the 60th floor or higher will go to the 60th floor by the high-rise service local elevator 12, and from there get onto the high-rise service local elevator 15. Since the service shuttle elevator 12 has a longer travel distance than other elevators, the elevator waiting time and boarding time tend to be longer.

Therefore, they are most susceptible to the effects when the number of elevator users in the building increases compared to the beginning, or when the elevator breaks down.

When such a situation occurs, the changeover switch 7 provided in the monitoring room 16 is activated, and the
The mid-rise and high-rise service shuttle elevators 11, which service the 30th and 30th floors, will be able to service the 60th floor.

This will increase the number of shuttle elevators that serve 60vM, reducing elevator waiting time and increasing transportation capacity.

The operation sequence at this time will be explained based on FIG.

By operating the changeover switch 7 provided in the monitoring room 16, the switch Ry30 is excited, and the 60th floor car call, the 30th floor ascending platform call, and the 60th floor platform call of the middle and high-rise service shuttle elevators 10 are activated. Registration is now possible.

Furthermore, by energizing the changeover switch Ry30, the service floor display Ry is turned off and the service floor display 8 is lit at the landing or in the car.

If a landing call for the 60th floor is registered with the changeover switch 20 in the N position, the landing call button contact 48a is closed, the landing call registration Ry44 is excited, and the landing call registration Ry44 is self-held.

The mid-rise and high-rise service shuttle elevators 11 respond to this landing call.

After arriving, register for the platform call using elevator signals, etc.
44 is released. This sets the platform call.

The elevator user registers the call for the destination floor in the car, but if you try to register the call for the first floor, the call button will be turned on and the call registration will be completed.
is excited. As a result, the registration R'l'31 is self-maintained. From this, a signal is input to the elevator operation time I@5 and the elevator runs.

Note that in this embodiment, the number of service floors that can be newly registered is 1.
Although it is set as a floor, it is also possible to have several floors.

It is also possible to perform group operation of the high-rise service shuttle elevator and the middle-rise and high-rise service elevators.

In this case, a plurality of middle and high rise service elevators may be provided.

In addition, although the above embodiment uses the Ry sequence circuit,
This may be configured by a digital logic operation circuit using a microcomputer.

〔Effect of the invention〕

According to this invention, when the number of passengers (elevator users) increases or an elevator breaks down, a new service floor can be created to provide elevator service that immediately responds to changes in demand for elevators.
