Abstract

PURPOSE:To enhance operation efficiency by preventing double door operation in which, when an elevator cage responds to a final cage call and is alloted to a reverse cage call, operation of the door is restarted after the door is temporarily closed. CONSTITUTION:When a judgement means (11E) judges that an elevator cage is stopped in response to a final cage call and a reverse landing call detection means (11G) detects registration of a reverse landing call, an announcement to urge registration of a cage call is broadcast by a reporting device (1C) provided in a cage (1A) and a door control means (11D) extends the opening time of the door. If a landing call is not registered by a destination button (1b) before the time at which the closure of the door is started, the direction of the cage is reversed with the door being open.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a device for controlling a door opening / closing operation of an elevator.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, it has been known to inform a waiting customer at a landing of arrival of an elevator. In this arrival display, as shown in Japanese Patent Publication No. 63-17746, a hall lantern and a chime are generally provided at the landing of each car, and the car is decided to stop 4-5 seconds before the door starts to open. In that case, the direction in which the car will service (hereinafter called the direction of operation)
The hall lantern of is flashed and the chime is sounded in a continuous sound. When the boarding / alighting ends and the door is about to be closed, the hall lantern stops blinking and goes out. Since the passenger can prepare to board the car by this arrival display, the passenger does not miss or miss the car without noticing the arrival of the car, and further, the driving efficiency can be prevented from lowering.

In addition, a car position indicator and a direction indicator (direction light) are provided at the hall to display the present car position and the traveling direction to the waiting passengers at the hall. The display of the car position and direction of travel allows passengers to have an idea of how long to wait before the car arrives, and to prepare for boarding.

Here, when the last call to be responded to in the traveling direction of the car is only the car call, this call is called the final car call, and stopping in response to the final car call is called final car call stop. However, how to display the hall lantern and the direction lights when the final car call is stopped is a difficult problem.

Since the car that stops at the final car call only waits on that floor, it seems that it is not necessary to display either direction, but the following obstacles occur.
That is, when a passenger who wants to board the vehicle enters the elevator hall when the last passenger gets off after opening the door, it is confusing because the car does not know in which direction.
Also, if there are passengers who want to go in different directions almost at the same time,
The direction of operation of the car is determined by the customer who presses the destination button in the car as soon as possible.
You have to be patient and stay on until the end of the reverse service, then press the destination button again.

Therefore, in a system in which hall lanterns and direction lights are provided at a hall, it is usual to display a predetermined direction for each floor. Usually, including the first floor,
The floors lower than that display the up direction, the top floor displays the down direction, and the other floors display the same direction as the direction in which the elevator has been moving until then (hereinafter referred to as the traveling direction).

By the way, when the vehicle arrives in response to the final car call, a hall call in the opposite direction may be registered. For example, when you stop in the up direction by calling the last car on the 5th floor,
Four seconds before the door opens, the uphill hall lantern blinks to guide the arrival, but during the door open, passengers who happen to go to the first floor enter the elevator hall on the fifth floor and press the hall button. Suppose you have registered a downlink call. In this case, the car closes once after a predetermined door opening time, confirms that there is no call to the floor above the 5th floor, and then switches to the downward direction to restart the door. Performs double door operation. Don't flip the direction with the door open so that passengers on the upper floors who may (or may) have seen the hall lantern in the up direction will not switch to the down direction before pressing the destination button. To do so. Further, once the door closing operation is started, it is possible to secure the time for pressing the destination button during the door closing operation, and it is possible to prevent new passengers (especially passengers going in the opposite direction) from getting in. In this way, from the viewpoint of the elevator, it is not possible to know whether or not there are passengers in the car until the car call is registered, so the direction must be changed carefully.

However, this double door operation looks unnatural to the passengers going to the first floor. In other words, the passengers waiting at the hall can see at a glance whether there are any people in the car, and when there are no people in the car, they feel suspicious as to why they should close the door. Moreover, since the boarding is delayed by the time required for the door opening / closing operation, the driving efficiency is reduced.

Therefore, in the past, in order to reduce the chances of occurrence of the double door operation, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 3-1.
As shown in Japanese Patent No. 28878, it is practiced to learn a direction in which a waiter on a floor to stop has a high probability of going, and turn on a hall lantern or a direction light in that direction.

[0010]

In the conventional elevator control device as described above, since the direction in which the waiting passenger is likely to go is learned and displayed, the chance of occurrence of double door operation is reduced. Even if it is possible, after confirming the operating direction and turning on the hall lantern and direction lights in that direction, passengers who happen to go in the opposite direction come into the elevator hall and press the hall button and respond to this hall call If you decide to do so, you end up with a double door operation. In this way, in the conventional method, the double door operation itself is performed in order to judge whether or not there are passengers in the car going in the direction guided by the hall lantern or the direction lights by checking whether or not the car call is registered at the time when the door is closed or in the vicinity thereof. There is a problem that it cannot be lost.

The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and when the final car call is stopped, when there is no passenger in the car in the direction guided by the hall lantern or the direction lights, the double door operation is performed. It is an object of the present invention to provide an elevator control device that can switch the traveling direction without performing the operation.

[0012]

In the elevator control apparatus according to the first aspect of the present invention, the determination means determines that the final car call is stopped, and the hall call in the opposite direction to the displayed traveling direction is registered. However, when it is detected by the reverse landing call detection means, the display control means provides guidance for prompting registration of a car call in the car, and the operation direction control means sets the door opening time longer than usual, When this door opening time elapses, the operation direction is switched, and the door control means prevents the door from closing and keeps the door fully open.

The elevator control apparatus according to a second aspect of the present invention is the elevator control apparatus according to the first aspect of the present invention, in which the door closing operation is interrupted and the door is reopened when the door is closed halfway by the door control means. However, the operation direction is controlled by the operation direction control means.

The elevator control device according to a third aspect of the present invention is the elevator control device according to the first aspect of the present invention, further comprising a passenger detection device for detecting the presence of passengers in the car, and the backward hall call detection means. When the vehicle is operating and the passenger detecting device is not operating, the traveling direction control means for switching the traveling direction is provided when the door is open.

The elevator control apparatus according to a fourth aspect of the present invention is the elevator control apparatus according to the first aspect of the present invention, wherein the door control means sets the door opening time longer than usual, and the operation control means completes the door opening. After that, the driving direction is switched before the door is closed.

[0016]

In the first aspect of the present invention, when the last car call stop is detected and the reverse landing call registration is detected, the car is guided to register the car call, and The door opening time is extended more than usual, and when the door opening time expires, the driving direction is switched while the door is fully open, so the driving direction switches before the passenger who got in the car pushes the destination button. Double door operation does not occur.

In the second aspect of the invention, when the door is closed halfway, the door closing operation is interrupted, the door is reopened, and the direction of travel is switched. Therefore, the passenger who has boarded the car is It can be seen that the traveling direction will change soon when the closing operation is started.

Further, in the third aspect of the invention, when it is detected that there are no passengers in the car, the operation direction is switched in the door open state, so that the time to switch the operation direction can be quickly and accurately determined. ..

Further, according to the fourth aspect of the invention, the door opening time is extended more than usual and the driving direction is switched after the completion of the door opening and before the completion of the door closing.

The car control device (12) of the second car has the same structure as the car control device (11) of the first car.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 2 is a judgment program showing a procedure of judging the final car call stop when the stop is decided by the judging means (11E) among the car control programs stored in the memory of the microcomputer constituting the car control device (11) of the first car. FIG. 3 is a flowchart of the backward hall call detection program showing the procedure for detecting the backward hall call at the car position floor by the backward hall call detection means (11G).

FIG. 4 is a flow chart of a display control program showing a procedure for controlling the operation of the hall lantern, the arrival chime, and the alarm device (1c) by the display control means (11C), and FIG. 5 is also the traveling direction control means (11B). ) Is a flow chart of an operation direction control program showing a procedure for setting the operation direction after the stop is determined, and FIG. 6 is a door control showing a procedure for similarly controlling the opening and closing of the car door and the door opening time by the door control means (11D). It is a flowchart of a program. In addition,
The car control program is repeatedly executed periodically (for example, every 100 milliseconds).

First, the determination program shown in FIG. 2 will be described. In step (21), it is judged whether or not it is just after the stop decision is made by the operation control program (not shown) corresponding to the operation control means (11F). Immediately after the stop decision, it is determined in steps (22) to (28) whether or not it is "final car call stop" at the same time as setting the operation direction SDR of the first car at the time of stop decision.

Immediately after the stop is determined, in step (22), the preceding car position floor ADV (the synchronous car position floor S corresponding to the actual car position by the deceleration distance corresponding to the current traveling speed)
It is determined whether there is a hall call (assigned hall call) in the same direction as the traveling direction RDR in the car position floor ahead of YN), and if there is the above hall call, step
In (24), the traveling direction SDR is set to the same direction as the traveling direction RDR. The traveling direction RDR is control data created by the above-mentioned operation control program, and represents the direction in which the car is moving from the start to the stop of the traveling, and it was moving before stopping until it started again after stopping. This is data representing the direction.

If there is no hall call corresponding to the above in step (22), the process proceeds to step (23), in which the front of the preceding car position floor ADV (upward or downward if the traveling direction RDR is up is determined. If there is a landing call or car call to answer on the lower floor). If there is a call corresponding to the above, the process proceeds to step (24), and similarly the traveling direction SDR is set to the same direction as the traveling direction RDR.

If there is no call to be answered in the front floor in step (23), the process proceeds to step (25), in which it is determined whether or not the preceding car position floor ADV has a hall call in the opposite direction to the traveling direction RDR. If there is a corresponding landing call, the traveling direction SDR is set to the opposite direction of the traveling direction RDR in step (26).

If there is no hall call corresponding to the above in step (25), the process proceeds to step (27). If the preceding car position floor ADV is the lowest floor or the highest floor, the operation direction is determined in step (26). The SDR is set in the opposite direction of the traveling direction RDR. If the preceding car position floor ADV is neither the lowermost floor nor the uppermost floor, the operation direction SDR is changed to the traveling direction RDR in step (28).
Set in the same direction as, and detect as "final car call stop".

If it is not immediately after the stop is determined in step (21), it is then determined in steps (31) to (34) whether to reset the determination of "final car call stop". Immediately after the door is closed, the process proceeds from step (31) to step (34), where "last car call stop" is prepared in preparation for the next call response.
Reset the judgment of. In addition, when responding to a hall call or in front of the preceding car position floor ADV (direction of operation SDR
If there is a landing call or car call to respond to on the floor above (if it is an uphill, or if it is a downhill), proceed in the same way from step (32) or step (33) to step (34). Reset the judgment of "final car call stop".

Thus, in the determination program, the operating direction SDR of the car is set immediately after the stop is determined, and
It is determined whether "final car call stop" and whether to reset the result of "final car call stop".

Next, the operation of the backward hall call detection program of FIG. 3 will be described. In step (41), it is determined whether the car (1A) of the first car is "final car call stop" and blinks the hall lantern to indicate arrival.
If the last car call is stopped and the arrival is displayed, and if the landing call to be answered in the direction opposite to the operation direction SDR is registered in the preceding car position floor ADV, step (41) → step
(42) → Proceeds to step (44) where the backward landing call flag FLG is set to “present”.

If it is neither "final car call stop" nor arrival display, the process proceeds from step (41) to step (43) where the backward landing call flag FLG is set to "absent". Further, if the hall call to respond in the opposite direction to the traveling direction SDR is not registered in the preceding car position floor ADV, the process proceeds from step (42) to step (43), and similarly the backward hall call flag FLG is set to "none."".
Thus, in the reverse hall call detection program, 1
When the No. car stops "final car call", it is detected whether or not there is a backward hall call at the preceding car position floor ADV.

Next, the operation of the display control program shown in FIG. 4 will be described. In step (51), it is determined whether or not Unit 1 has started the arrival display. Immediately after the decision to stop Unit 1 is made, the arrival display (hall lantern blinking) has not started yet, so proceed from step (51) to step (52), where the car (1A) has not started to open. It is determined whether or not the position is within 4 seconds. If it is not within 4 seconds before the door starts, the arrival display will not start, but if it approaches within 4 seconds before the door starts, at step (53), it will be installed in the landing place of the preceding car position floor ADV. Among the prepared hall lanterns, the hall lantern in the direction corresponding to the operation direction SDR set at this time is started to blink, and at the same time, the arrival chime (not shown) of this floor is sounded to notify the arrival.

On the other hand, if it is determined in step (51) that the arrival is being displayed, then in steps (55) to (57) the announcement to the car by the notification device (1c) is controlled, and steps (58) to (61) are controlled. Controls the operation of the hall lantern and the arrival chime when the direction of travel is changed or when the service is stopped.

When the arrival display of the first car is displayed, step (55)
T3 seconds (T3 <T2 (described later)
If, for example, 3 seconds is elapsed (that is, the door opening time counter C ≧ T3 seconds) and the backward landing call flag FLG is “present”, the process proceeds to step (56). At step (56), the first car (1A) that had "last car call stopped"
For passengers who may have boarded the car (especially passengers heading in the same direction as the direction of operation SDR), for example, "Please press the destination button to register the destination floor." A command to guide the registration and a guide to change the operating direction, such as "If the destination floor on the upper floor (lower floor) is not registered, reverse the direction in the down direction (upward direction) on this floor." The alarm device (1
Output to c). In step (57), when the condition for guiding the above is not satisfied or when it is not satisfied,
Reset the guidance command for the notification device (1c).

If it is detected in step (58) that the car (1A) of the first car is not in the fully closed state by switching the operation direction SDR by responding to a landing call in the opposite direction, step (58) Among the hall lanterns installed in the landing of the preceding car position floor ADV in 59), turn off the hall lantern in the operating direction before the direction change and blink the hall lantern in the operating direction after the direction change, and at the same time the arrival chime It rings to inform the waiting passengers that the operation direction SDR has been switched and the service has started.

Further, when the passengers have finished getting on and off and the door closing operation is started, and it is detected in step (60) that the first car is completely closed, in step (61), it is notified that the service is finished on this floor. Therefore, the hall lantern installed in the landing of the car position floor ADV and in the same direction as the operation direction SDR is turned off.

In this way, the display control program controls the blinking of the up hall lanterns B1u to B7u and the down hall lanterns B2d to B8d of each floor and the ringing of the arrival chime (not shown) according to the traveling direction SDR. , The announcement by the notification device (1c) is controlled when there is a backward landing call at "final car call stop".

Next, the operation of the traveling direction control program shown in FIG. 5 will be described. At step (71), whether or not Unit 1 is stopped, at Step (72), Unit 1 is stopped at "final car call stop", and the hall where the response to the preceding car position floor ADV in the direction opposite to the operation direction SDR is required It is determined whether there is a call (that is, the backward landing call flag FLG = "Yes"), and in step (73) whether the door is fully closed.

Step (74) consisting of steps (75) and (76)
Is a traveling direction switching program in a door open state (during door opening operation, door fully open state, or door closing operation). This traveling direction switching program (74) is a step (75) when the vehicle is stopped and the reverse direction landing call flag FLG = "Yes".
T2 seconds (>
T1 seconds have passed (that is, the door opening time counter C ≧ T2)
Second), it is determined that the operation direction is S in step (76).
The direction of operation is switched by resetting DR in the opposite direction.

Here, T1 is a normal door opening time (for example, 3 seconds) set when the vehicle is stopped in response to a call,
T2 is the position of the preceding car position when the final car call is stopped.
Special door opening time set when you have a hall call that should respond to V in the direction opposite to the operating direction SDR (for example,
4 seconds), T2> T1 is always set. This is because at the time of "final car call stop", when T1 seconds elapse after completion of door opening, guidance for prompting car call registration is given, and a predetermined time (eg, 1 second) as a grace time for car call registration. ) Is considered.

Steps (77) to (83) are a program for resetting the traveling direction SDR when the door is fully closed. When it is detected in step (77) that the direction SDR of operation is "no direction", it is further determined in step (78) whether or not Unit 1 has a call to answer, and the call to answer should be taken. For example, in step (79), the direction toward the call to be answered is set as the traveling direction SDR.

If it is determined in step (77) that the traveling direction SDR is not "non-direction", then in step (80) there is a hall call or car call to respond to the floor in front of the preceding car position floor ADV. If there is a corresponding call, the operation direction SDR is retained as it is, but if not, in step (81), the preceding car position floor A
If it is determined that the DV has a hall call to respond in the opposite direction, or if it is determined in step (82) that there is a hall call to respond to the floor behind the preceding car position floor ADV, step
In (76), the operation direction SDR is reset to the opposite direction and the operation direction is switched. If there is no call corresponding to steps (81) and (82), the operation direction S is determined in step (83).
The DR is set to "no direction", and the door waits in a closed state until a new call is served on this floor.

In this way, in the operation direction control program, when the car is stopped, the operation direction is determined according to the presence / absence of a backward landing call, the currently set operation direction, and the presence / absence of a call to be answered. Change the SDR. In addition,
The setting of the operation direction SDR when the stop is determined is as described in the determination program of FIG.

Next, the operation of the door control program shown in FIG. 6 will be described. Steps (93) to (95) are programs that show the procedure for controlling the door opening time when the first unit is in the fully open state, and step (96) consisting of steps (97) to (99) is also when the door is fully open. A door closing determination program showing a procedure for determining whether to start the door closing, steps (100) to (101) are whether to start the door opening when the first unit is in the fully closed state,
It is a door-opening determination program showing a procedure for determining whether or not a reverse door is opened during a door-closing operation.

First, when the first car travels in response to a call, the car is in the door fully closed state, so step (9
The process proceeds from step 1) to step (100), and when it is detected that the car has stopped, the door opening / closing command is reset in step (101) to start the door opening operation.

When the door is fully opened, step (91)
→ (92) → (93), and when it is detected that the first unit has just completed the door opening, the door opening time counter C is set to 0 second in step (94). Further, in the next calculation cycle after 0.1 second, the process proceeds from step (93) to step (95), where the door opening time counter C is incremented by 0.1 second.
In this way, when the door is fully opened, the door open time counter C is periodically incremented by 0.1 seconds.

When the reverse hall call is not detected (reverse hall call flag FLG = "none"), it is judged in step (98) whether the door opening time counter C is T1 seconds or more, and Until the opening time counter C reaches T1 seconds or more, the door fully open state is maintained, and the door opening time counter C indicates T1.
If it is more than a second, the door opening / closing command is set in step (99) to start the door closing operation. This is the normal door closing operation.

However, if it is detected in step (97) that there is a backward hall call (reverse hall call flag FLG = "yes") at "final car call stop", the value of the door opening time counter C is determined. Regardless of, the door open / close command is kept in the reset state and the door fully open state is maintained. Then, when the door opening time counter C becomes T2 seconds or more, the traveling direction S is determined in steps (75) and (76) of the traveling direction control program as described above.
Since the DR is switched to respond to the backward hall call, the direction reversal is detected in step (93), the door opening time counter C is reset to 0 second in step (94), and the door is opened again in step (95). The periodic addition of the time counter C will be started. This is the operation of the door when responding to a backward hall call with "final car call stop".

Further, when the hall call in the opposite direction is answered during the door closing operation, the process proceeds from step (91) to (100) where it is confirmed that the hall call is answered while the vehicle is still stopped.
In step (101), the door opening / closing command is reset, the door closing operation is interrupted, and the door opening is started. Of course, when the door is fully opened after the direction is reversed, the door opening time counter C is reset to 0 second in step (94).

In this way, in the above door control program, the door closing operation is normally started when a predetermined door opening time has elapsed after completion of the door opening, but a "final car call stop" response to the backward hall call. When doing, keep the door fully open.

Finally, the operation of the first embodiment will be described based on the concrete example shown in FIG. Suppose that the car (1A) of Unit 1 that departed from the first floor decided to stop in response to a car call on the fifth floor. At this time, since the traveling direction RDR of the first car is "up", the traveling direction SDR is also set to "up", and at the same time, it is determined to be "final car call stop". When the car (1A) approaches the 5th floor to the position 4 seconds before the door starts to open, it blinks the up hall lantern B5u on the 5th floor to guide the arrival and service directions to the hall. And when the car (1A) stops on the 5th floor,
The door opening / closing command is reset, the door opening operation is started, and the counting of the door opening time counter C is started at the same time when the door opening is completed.

Now, as described above, when the up hall lantern B5u is blinking to show the arrival, the landing call (5d) in the down direction of the fifth floor is registered, and this landing call (5d) is also registered. It is assumed that it was assigned to Unit 1. Conventionally, when T1 seconds (= 3 seconds) have elapsed from the completion of door opening, a door opening / closing command is set to start the door closing operation, and at the time of completion of the door closing, the operation direction SDR is changed from "up" to "down". Switch 5
Unit 1 will perform a double door operation to respond to the down call (5d) on the floor.

However, in the first embodiment, when the up hall lantern B5u is blinking to display the arrival, the down hall call (5d) on the fifth floor is registered and assigned to the first car. Since the down call (5d) on the 5th floor is detected as a backward hall call, T1 seconds (= 3
The door open / close command is not set even after (sec) and the door remains fully open. On the other hand, T3 seconds (= 3 seconds) from the completion of door opening
If the car call is not registered on a floor above the 5th floor by the time T2 seconds (= 4 seconds) have passed since the completion of door opening, guidance will be given by the notification device (1c) when It is judged that the passengers heading in the direction are not in the boarding direction S
The DR is switched from "up" to "down" while the door is fully open, and it responds to the down call (5d) on the fifth floor.

At this time, the first unit is the up hall lantern B
Turn off 5u, blink down hall lantern B5d,
Inform the waiting passengers that the service direction has been changed.
As described above, in the first embodiment, since the operation direction is switched and the down call (5d) is answered while the door is fully opened, the double door operation is not performed. Of course, if a car call is registered on a floor above the fifth floor by the time T2 seconds (= 4 seconds) elapses from the completion of door opening, the judgment of "final car call stop" is immediately reset and the reverse. The detection of the direction hall call is also reset.
The door will be closed after the lapse of seconds (= 3 seconds).

As described above, in the first embodiment, when the car is assigned to the landing call in the opposite direction of the floor where the car is located when the car is stopped and the arrival is displayed in response to the last car call, the car is provided in the car. By notifying the car call registration with the notification device and instructing to reverse the direction, by setting the door opening time longer than the normal door opening time, passengers who got in the car can push the destination button I have time to push.

When there is no call to be answered in the front of the operation direction when the door opening time has expired, the operation direction is switched while the door is fully opened to respond to the landing call in the opposite direction. The double door operation can be prevented without causing a trouble that the traveling direction is switched before the passenger who hit the destination button presses the destination button. Therefore, the waiting passengers who registered the hall call in the opposite direction will not feel suspicious, and at the same time,
The delay in boarding due to double door operation is eliminated and driving efficiency can be improved.

Example 2. In the first embodiment, when a backward landing call is detected and there is no call that should be answered in the front of the driving direction, when the door opening time T2 elapses, the operation direction is switched while the door is fully opened, and the arrival display is displayed at the same time. I tried to do it again. Therefore, the waiting passenger who registered the hall call in the opposite direction is not made suspicious. However, on the other hand, if there is a passenger who happened to get into the car, even when there is a guide to register the car call or a guide to switch the operation direction, how long will the registration of the car call actually be effective? It is difficult for passengers in the above-mentioned car to know the grace period, such as whether the train is switching or the direction of travel has already been switched.

In the second embodiment, after the door is closed a little, the operation direction is switched so as to respond to the backward hall call so that the passenger can clearly see the break. ..

FIGS. 8 and 9 are views showing an embodiment of the second invention of the present invention. FIG. 8 is a door closing judgment program of FIG.
FIG. 9 is a flowchart corresponding to (96), and FIG. 9 is a flowchart corresponding to the traveling direction switching program (74) of FIG. The calculation programs of the other floors and the second car are also configured in the same manner. In this second embodiment, FIGS. 1 to 7 of the first embodiment are used as they are.

In the door closing determination program (96) shown in FIG.
When the backward hall call is not detected (the backward hall call flag FLG = “none”), it is determined in step (98) whether the door opening time counter C is T1 seconds or more, and the door opening time counter C is The door is kept fully open until T1 seconds or more. When the door opening time counter C reaches T1 seconds or more, a door opening / closing command is set in step (99) to start the door closing operation. This is a door closing operation in a normal case, as described in the first embodiment.

However, when it is detected in step (97) that there is a backward hall call (reverse hall call flag FLG = "yes") at "final car call stop", step (1)
In 02), it is determined whether the door opening time counter C is T2 seconds or more, and the door fully open state is maintained until T2 seconds or more, and T
When the time exceeds 2 seconds, the door opening / closing command is set in step (99) to start the door closing operation.

Then, the traveling direction switching program of FIG.
In (74), when it is detected in step (75) that the door is being closed and the door opening time counter C has reached (T2 + 0.2) seconds or more, the operation direction SDR is switched to reverse in step (76). Answer a direction hall call. Therefore, in the door control program of FIG. 6, the hall call response is detected in step (100), and the door opening / closing command is reset in step (101).
The door closing operation is interrupted and the door is opened again. When the completion of door opening is detected in step (93), the door opening time counter C is reset to 0 second in step (94), and the periodic addition of the door opening time counter C is started again in step (95). Will be done. This is the operation of the door when responding to a backward hall call with "final car call stop".

As described above, in the second embodiment, when the backward landing call is detected and there is no call that should answer in the front of the traveling direction, the door closing operation is performed only a little when the door opening time T2 elapses. After that, the direction of operation was switched to respond to a backward hall call, and at the same time the arrival display was displayed again.
Therefore, when there is a passenger who happens to get into the car, it is understood that the operation direction will change soon when the door closing operation starts, and it is convincing even if the registration of the car call is delayed.

Further, for a waiting passenger who has registered a hall call in the opposite direction, if the door closing operation starts when there are no passengers in the car, it seems suspicious for a moment, but the door will be opened again soon, so
It is not a complete double door operation as in the past, and there is little suspicion. Furthermore, the operating efficiency is improved by the shorter period of the double door operation, though not as much as in the first embodiment in which the operation direction is switched while the door open state is maintained.

In the second embodiment, it is assumed that it takes about 2 seconds to close the door when responding to the backward hall call.
Although the door closing operation is interrupted after 2 seconds and the operation direction is switched to reopen the door, the time when the door closing operation is interrupted is not limited to this. As described above, it is desirable to set the time so that the passengers in the car can change the operating direction clearly and the waiting passengers who have registered the hall call in the opposite direction do not feel a big suspicion. Depending on the type of door control device (door opening width, door weight, etc.) and control method, if the door closing operation is interrupted and the door is reopened by the time it reaches the door opening position of about half the door opening width. ,It is enough.

Further, in the second embodiment, the door opening time at the time of the car call response and the door opening call response are set to the same time, that is, the door opening time T1 (3 seconds). It is also easy to make the opening time different from the door opening time T1.

In the first and second embodiments, the guide for prompting the registration of the car call and the guide for switching the operating direction are provided before switching the operating direction. However, at least for the passengers in the car Any type of guidance may be used as long as the guidance informs that the destination button needs to be pressed. Further, although the above-mentioned guidance is performed by the announcement device using the voice synthesizer, the guidance may be performed by characters or figures by the display device.

Furthermore, when the door opening time T1 during the normal call response elapses, the guidance for prompting the registration of the car call is started, but it stops in response to the final car call and the arrival display is displayed. If the car call is assigned to a landing call in the opposite direction to the floor where the car is located, guidance for prompting registration of the car call may be started even before the door opening time T1 has elapsed. In this case, the door opening time T2 does not always need to be set to a value longer than the door opening time T1 for a normal call response by a predetermined time (1 second in this embodiment). It may be set so as to secure a minimum required time from when the passenger who gets in the car receives the guidance for registering the car call and then presses the destination button. In this way, the traveling direction can be switched earlier, so that the driving efficiency is further improved.

Further, in the first and second embodiments, the case where the device for detecting passengers getting on and off is not provided, but the passengers are detected by the photoelectric device or the infrared device provided at the entrance and exit of the car, for example, The light beam has a certain duration (eg,
It can also be applied to a case where a system is adopted in which it is judged that the boarding / alighting has been completed unless the door is continuously closed for more than 1 second) and the door is closed. That is, if the vehicle is stopped in response to the final car call, the arrival display is performed, and if it is assigned to the hall call in the opposite direction to the floor where the car is located, the above predetermined time for determining the end of getting on and off the Extension (eg 3
Seconds). As a result, it is possible to secure sufficient time for a passenger who may have boarded the car to register the car call, and it is possible to switch the operation direction while the door is open if the car call is not newly registered.

Example 3. In Example 1 and Example 2,
When there is a backward landing call at "Last car call stop", it is not clear if there are any passengers in the car yet.Therefore, guidance is given to register the car call and the door opening time is extended to register the car call. Whether to change the operating direction is determined based on the presence or absence of. However, if a sensor is installed to detect whether or not there are passengers in the car, the determination can be made more quickly and accurately.

In the third embodiment, a sensor for detecting whether or not there are passengers in the car is installed so that the switching direction of the traveling direction is shortened and the double door operation is prevented.

10 to 13 are views showing an embodiment of the third invention of the present invention. Fig. 10 shows the overall configuration.
d) is a television camera provided in the car (1A), and (1e) is a well-known passenger detection device that analyzes the image captured by the television camera (1d) to count the number of passengers in the car. FIG. 11 is a flowchart corresponding to the display control program of FIG. 4, in which step (55)
It is exactly the same as FIG. 4 except that (57) is deleted.

FIG. 12 is a flowchart corresponding to the operation direction control program of FIG.
Only the steps in (74) are slightly different,
1) to (73) and steps (77) to (83) are exactly the same as those in FIG. FIG. 13 is a flowchart corresponding to the door control program of FIG. 6, and the steps in the door closing determination program (96) are slightly different, and steps (91) to (95) and steps (100) to (101) are It is exactly the same as 6. The arithmetic program of the second machine has the same structure. Note that, in this third embodiment, FIGS. 2, 3, and 7 of the first embodiment are used as they are.

First, in the door closing determination program (96) of FIG. 13, whether or not the door opening time counter C is T1 seconds or more is determined in step (98) regardless of whether or not a backward hall call is detected. Until the opening time counter C reaches T1 seconds or more, the door fully open state is maintained, and the door opening time counter C indicates T1.
If it is more than a second, the door opening / closing command is set in step (99) to start the door closing operation.

On the other hand, the traveling direction switching program of FIG.
In (74), when the backward hall call is detected, it is determined in step (75A) whether there is a passenger in the car according to the output of the passenger detection device (1e). When there are one or more passengers in the car, the process proceeds to step (73), and the switching of the operation direction is determined at the completion of the door closing as usual. However, if it is determined that there are no passengers in the car, and it is detected that the door is not in the fully closed state in step (75), that is, the door is in the open state, the operating direction SDR is switched to reverse in step (76). Answer a direction hall call.

Therefore, in the door control program of FIG. 13, the hall call response is detected in step (100) and the step
At (101), the door opening / closing command is reset, and if the door closing operation is in progress, the door closing operation is interrupted and the door is opened again. Then, when the completion of door opening or the switching of the operating direction is detected in step (93), the step
The door open time counter C is reset to 0 second at (94), and the periodic addition of the door open time counter C is started again at step (95). This is the operation of the door when responding to a backward hall call with "final car call stop".

The operation of the display control program of FIG. 11 according to the third embodiment is exactly the same as that of the first embodiment except that the guidance prompting the registration of the car call is not performed.

As described with reference to FIG. 7, when the up hall lantern B5u is blinking to indicate arrival, the landing call (5d) in the down direction of the fifth floor is registered and assigned to the first car. And, because the downward call (5d) on the 5th floor is detected as a backward hall call, if the passenger detection device (1e) does not detect one or more passengers, the operation direction SDR is immediately kept in the door fully open state. Switch from "up" to "down" and answer the 5th floor down call (5d).

At this time, the first unit is the up hall lantern B
Turn off 5u, blink down hall lantern B5d,
Inform the waiting passengers that the service direction has been changed.
As described above, in the third embodiment, if there are no passengers in the car, the operation direction SDR is switched while the door is fully open and the call is made downward (5
Since it responds to d), it is not a double door operation. Of course, if the passenger detection device (1e) detects that a passenger has entered the car before the 5th floor downcall (5d) is registered, the operation direction SDR is switched while the door is open. Absent.

If the down hall call (5d) on the 5th floor is registered and assigned to Unit 1 before Unit 1 opens on the 5th floor, passengers scheduled to disembark on the 5th floor are still Being in the car, the passenger detection device (1e) detects one or more passengers. Therefore, the operation direction SDR is not switched until the door is completely opened and the passengers are finished getting off. In addition, after the door open time T1 has expired and the doors have closed,
When (5d) is registered and assigned to Unit 1, if the passenger detection device (1e) does not detect a passenger going in the up direction, the door closing operation is immediately interrupted, the door is reopened, and the passenger operates at the same time. The direction SDR is switched to the down direction to respond to the down call (5d) on the fifth floor.

In this way, in the third embodiment, when a backward landing call is detected and there is no call to answer in the front of the traveling direction, it is detected that there is no passenger in the car, If the door is open, the operation direction is immediately switched to respond to the backward hall call, and at the same time, the arrival display is displayed again. Therefore, double door operation can be prevented. In addition, a waiting passenger who has registered a hall call in the opposite direction can immediately get on the car, which improves driving efficiency.

In the third embodiment, whether or not the passenger is in the car is determined by the image of the television camera provided in the car, but the means for detecting that the passenger is in the car is not limited to this. Not a thing. Sensors that use ultrasonic waves or infrared rays, outside the device that detects the presence or absence of passengers, the weighing device that is installed on the floor of the car, and the photoelectric device that is installed near the car entrance / exit, detects the passenger's boarding operation itself and It may be a passenger detection device that determines whether or not there is a passenger inside.

Further, in the third embodiment, when a backward landing call is detected and there is no call to answer in the front of the traveling direction, when it is detected that there is no passenger in the car, the door is opened. If there is, the operation direction is immediately changed, but even if the door opening time T1 has not expired, the door closing operation is performed a little as in the second embodiment, and then the operation direction is changed to make a reverse hall call. It is possible to easily realize the response and the arrival display at the same time. In this way, the car movement (door movement) is accompanied by the change of the operation direction, and since it is not a complete double door operation as in the past, there is less suspicion in waiting passengers going in the opposite direction. Complete. Of course, the operation efficiency is improved as much as the switching time of the operation direction is earlier than in the past.

Example 4. In the first and second embodiments, the guide for registering the car call and the guide for switching the car direction are provided before the switching of the operation direction, but the guide for registering the car call is not always necessary. In short, passengers heading in the same direction as the operating direction displayed at the hall,
Even if you happen to get into the car, you will not be able to take you in the opposite direction, so make sure you have enough time to register the car call in the open state and keep the direction of travel up to that point. It should be. This will be described in Example 4.

The entire configuration of the fourth embodiment is the same as that of FIG. 1 except that the notification device (1c) is removed, and can be easily realized. That is, as the determination program, the reverse hall call detection program, the traveling direction control program, and the door control program in the fourth embodiment, the same programs as those in FIGS. 2, 3, 5, and 6 may be used. .. Further, as the display control program in the fourth embodiment, the same program as shown in FIG. 11 may be used because the notification device (1c) is removed.

In this case, when the backward car call is answered, the door opening time T1 (for example, 3 seconds) is set if the backward car call is detected, and if the backward car call is detected, the door opening time T1 is set. A long door opening time T2 (for example, 5 seconds) is set. Although the door opening time when responding to the backward hall call is set to the same time as the door opening time T1, the door opening time may be changed between the car call response and the hall call response.

As described above, in the fourth embodiment, when the vehicle is stopped in response to the final car call and the arrival is displayed, when the car call is assigned to the hall call in the opposite direction of the car position floor, the normal door opening time is set. By setting a door opening time that is longer than that, give passengers who got into the car time to press the destination button, and when the door opening time expires, if there is no call in the front in the operating direction, Since the direction of operation is switched while the vehicle is fully open to respond to the hall call in the opposite direction, passengers who get in the car may change the direction of operation before pressing the destination button. Without, double door operation can be prevented. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the waiting passengers who registered the hall call in the opposite direction from feeling suspicious, and at the same time, to eliminate the delay in boarding due to the double door operation, thereby improving the driving efficiency.

As described above, the method can also be applied to a method of detecting passengers by using a photoelectric device or an infrared device provided at the entrance of a car.

In the fourth embodiment, when the backward landing call is detected and there is no call to be answered in the front of the traveling direction,
When the door open time T2 has expired, the operation direction is switched while the door is open. However, as in the second embodiment, the door is closed a little, and then the operation direction is switched to respond to the backward hall call. As described above, it can be easily realized.

In the first to fourth embodiments, when it is detected that there is no call in front of the preceding car position floor in the traveling direction and that the call is stopped only in response to the car call at the preceding car position floor, the preceding car is detected. It was decided to determine that "the final car call was stopped" (step (28) in Fig. 2) regardless of whether there was a landing call to be answered on the floor behind the position car. Only when there is no landing call to answer on the floor,
It goes without saying that the present invention can also be applied to the case where it is strictly determined that "final car call stop".

In the first to fourth embodiments, the normal direction switching time is set immediately after the door is closed. However, depending on the type of hoisting motor used and the drive control method, it may be immediately before or after the door is closed. The direction switching timing may differ, such as when a predetermined time has elapsed. It goes without saying that the present invention can also be applied to the case where the direction switching timing deviates before and after the door is closed.

Furthermore, in the first to fourth embodiments, the hall lantern is normally turned off, and when the car arrives in response to the call, the arrival notification and service direction guidance are given to the waiting passengers. I explained about the one applied to the elevator equipped with the arrival display device, but I added a car position indicator that displays the car position floor (generally using the synchronous car position floor SYN) and a direction light that displays the car's operating direction It is also easy to apply to an elevator equipped with a hall display device.

In this case, normally, a predetermined time after the car starts traveling and after the car is decided to stop (generally, the preceding car position floor ADV
Up to the point when the car position is synchronized with the synchronous car position floor SYN), the hall direction lights of each floor in the same direction as the traveling direction RDR are turned on, and the period from the predetermined time after the stop decision until the stop and the operation direction SDR Turn on the hall direction lights on each floor in the same direction.
When stopping at the last car call, the landing direction lights in the same direction as the direction RDR in which the vehicle has traveled until then are turned on. In addition,
When the direction of the car is reversed, the landing direction lights are switched when the above predetermined time is reached.

Furthermore, in Examples 1 to 4, 2
Although the case where the cars are arranged is shown, it is obvious that the present invention can be applied to the case where only three elevators or more for group management and one elevator are installed.

[0100]

As described above, in the first aspect of the present invention, when the final car call stop is detected and it is detected that the reverse hall call is registered, the car call registration is promoted in the car. With guidance, the door opening time is extended more than usual, and when the door opening time expires, the operation direction is switched while the door is fully open.

As a result, the passengers who have boarded the car do not switch their operating directions before pressing the destination button, and the double door operation does not occur, and the passengers who registered the hall call in the opposite direction do not. There is an effect that suspicious feeling can be eliminated, and that a boarding delay due to the double door operation can be eliminated and driving efficiency can be improved.

Further, in the second invention, when the door is closed halfway, the door closing operation is interrupted, the door is reopened, and the operation direction is switched. Therefore, the passenger who got into the car is When the door closing operation is started, it is known that the traveling direction will be switched soon, and there is an effect that the discomfort caused by the switching of the traveling direction due to the delayed registration of the car call can be alleviated. Moreover, since a complete double door operation as in the past does not occur, there is an effect that the suspiciousness of waiting customers can be reduced.

Further, in the third aspect of the invention, when it is detected that there are no passengers in the car, the operation direction is switched when the door is open. Therefore, the time to switch the operation direction can be determined quickly and accurately. This has the effect of reducing double door operation. In addition, a waiting passenger who has registered a hall call in the opposite direction can immediately get on the car, which is effective in improving driving efficiency.

Further, in the fourth aspect of the invention, the door opening time is extended more than usual, and the operation direction is switched after completion of door opening and before completion of door closing. It is possible to prevent the operation and to eliminate the device for guiding inside the car.
