Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an elevator hall display control device, and more particularly to an elevator hall display control device for easily displaying an elevator suitable for passengers from among a plurality of elevators. is there.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, when a plurality of elevators are installed in parallel, an indicator displays the position of the elevator car in order to inform the waiting passengers which elevator to take at the elevator hall, or The hall lantern used to display (or use both) elevator cars that were serviced 4 or 5 seconds before arrival.

However, the former display method inevitably means that the elevator car may not arrive as expected by the person who is watching, resulting in an additional frustration.
Since the latter display has become available from the time of call registration, the hall lantern system has become the mainstream as an elevator hall display device these days.

[0004]

However, in the conventional elevator hall display as described above, when the number of elevators installed in parallel is as many as eight, or when five or more elevators are lined up side by side, which elevator Sometimes it was hard to tell if I should get on. In particular, there were various problems because it was difficult to understand on the entrance floor where many elevators were concentrated.

First, although the elevator that starts first is known, it is not possible to know which elevator it is when the passenger wants to take the elevator that starts next, for example, because he / she is not likely to be fully occupied. It was As a countermeasure against this, Japanese Patent Publication No. Sho 49-584 discloses a technique related to "next car display", and recently, an elevator incorporating this concept has appeared.

Secondly, although the elevator that started earlier was known, it was not known whether or not the elevator could be boarded in time before the departure. As a countermeasure against this, Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 56-36862 discloses a technique of "changing a direction indicator lamp of a hall from lighting to blinking when a door closing start time is approached".

Thirdly, in a system in which a plurality of elevator cars are departed during peak times when the number of elevator users is large, it was sometimes confusing which elevator car to ride. Although it seemed like I could get on the elevator car near me, sometimes I could not notice the nearby car when multiple cars were displayed.

As described above, in the conventional elevator hall display, a measure for solving the incomprehensibleness has been considered as a method of displaying the elevator to be boarded, but it is effective for all of the above three problems. Could not respond to. In addition, the display was not necessarily easy to understand for all waiting passengers at various positions in the elevator hall. It should be noted that this type of hall display includes not only visual display but also auditory display when the hall button is operated, but these also have similar problems.

[0009] Therefore, the present invention provides elevator hall display control, which can display which of a plurality of elevators should be boarded in accordance with various situations and which can be easily understood by waiting passengers at various positions of the elevator hall. It is an object to provide a device.

[0010]

An elevator hall display control device according to the present invention manages a plurality of elevators as a group, and makes one or a plurality of elevators serve a predetermined elevator hall. Group management means, a plurality of hall call means disposed in the elevator hall to call a hall by a predetermined operation, and an elevator suitable for passengers to be picked up from among the plurality of elevators according to the operation of the hall call means. And a hall display means for displaying in accordance with the position of the customer at the elevator hall.

[0011]

In the elevator hall display control device of the present invention, when one or a plurality of elevators among a plurality of group-managed elevators are serviced to a predetermined elevator hall, a plurality of elevators are installed in the elevator hall. In response to the operation of the hall call means provided, to select an elevator suitable for passengers from among the plurality of elevators, because it is to display according to the position of the passenger in the elevator hall, It is possible to properly display to the waiting passengers at various positions in the elevator hall, which elevator among the plurality of elevators should be taken according to various situations.

EXAMPLES Examples of the present invention will be described below.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the overall construction of an elevator hall display control apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention.
FIG. 3 is a plan view showing an elevator hall provided with an elevator hall display control device according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing a state where the elevator hall shown in FIG. 2 and 3 show the elevator hall on the first floor.

In the figure, reference numeral 1 is a group management unit that manages a group of elevators from Nos. 1 to 8, 2 to 5 are arranged in an elevator hall, and hall call buttons 11 to 18 are used to call halls by operating buttons. The No. 1 to No. 8 control units for controlling the elevators of No. 1 to No. 8 units, 21 to 28 are the No. 1 to No. 8 cars respectively controlled by the No. 1 to No. 8 control units 11 to 18, and 31C to 38C are 1 Chime, 31R provided corresponding to each of car Nos. 8 to 21-28
-38R are provided corresponding to the cars 21 to 28 of the first to eighth cars, respectively, and the right-pointing hall lanterns 31L to 38 are configured so as to be easily seen when viewed in the arrow direction from the right side of FIG.
L is a left-pointing hall lantern that is also configured to be easily seen when viewed from the left side in FIG.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described.
Here, the first car 21 is designated as the starting car, and the passengers are getting on and off and are about to enter the door closing operation.
In addition, Unit 2 car 22 has arrived on the first floor and is in the process of opening the door,
Further, it is assumed that the car 8 of the No. 8 car is completely opened and passengers are getting off. And the other 3rd to 7th car 2
3 to 27 are located on floors other than the first floor.

First, in this elevator hall display control device, various programs are calculated by a computer (not shown) built in the group management unit 1. FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing a program executed by the group management unit of the elevator hall display control apparatus according to the embodiment of the present invention.

In the figure, a car state input process is executed in step S100, a departure priority setting process is executed in step S200, a display order setting process is executed in step S300, and a car control output process is executed in step S400. It Then, each of these steps is repeatedly calculated.

The details of each step of the program executed by the group management unit 1 will be described with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS. 5 to 10.

FIG. 5 shows step S1 in the program of FIG.
It is a flowchart which shows the cage | basket state input operation of 00.

In the figure, the state of all elevator cars is set as STATE (*) in the input of the state of the car.
However, * is the machine name. First, in step S101, N
= 1 and the car status signal of the first car is input from the first car controller 11 in step S102. Here, since the car 1 of the first car 21 is in a state of getting into and out of the door after the passengers get in and out of the car 21 (however, it is not full), whether or not the first car in step S103 is full on the first floor Judgment of whether or not the first unit in step S104 is just before the door is closed on the first floor,
In step S106, the determination as to whether or not the first vehicle is in the door closing operation on the first floor is all "NO (NO)". Then, in the judgment of whether or not the No. 1 vehicle of step S108 is completed on the first floor, the result is "yes (YES)", and the process proceeds to step S109, where STATE (1) = 2. After this, step S
In 117, N = N + 1 = 2 is set, and after the determination in step S118, the process returns to step S102, and this time the arithmetic operation for the second machine is performed.

Since the second car 22 has arrived at the first floor and is in the process of opening the door, steps S103, S104,
All the determinations in step S106 are “No”, and it is determined in step S108 whether or not the No. 2 vehicle has completed boarding / alighting on the first floor, and at S110, the No. 2 vehicle is 1
The judgment whether or not the doors have been completed on the floor is also “No”. Then, it is judged "Yes" at Step S112 whether or not the second vehicle is in the door-opening operation on the first floor, and Step S1
The process proceeds to step 13 and STATE (2) = 4. After this, N = N + 1 = 3 is set in step S117, and step S11
After the determination of 8, the process returns to step S102 again, and this time, the calculation is performed for the third car.

Since the third car 23 is not on the first floor, steps S103, S104, S106,
Step S108, Step S110, Step S11
The judgments in 2 are all "No", and the judgment as to whether or not Unit 3 has arrived on the first floor is "No" in Step S114, and the routine proceeds to Step S116.
(3) = 6. Then, in step S117, N = N
+ 1 = 4 is set, and after the determination in step S118, the process returns to step S102 and the calculation is performed for the fourth car.

In this way, the arithmetic operations up to No. 7 are sequentially performed. No. 4 car 24 to No. 7 car 27 is No. 3 car 2
Since neither of them is on the first floor as in the case of No. 3, the STATE in step S116 is used as in the case of the calculation of the above-mentioned Unit 3.
(4) = 6, STATE (5) = 6, STATE (6)
= 6 and STATE (7) = 6. When the calculation up to the 7th machine is completed, the process returns to step S102 again, and the calculation regarding the remaining 8th machine is performed.

Since the opening of the car of the No. 8 car 28 is completed and passengers are getting off, the No. 8 car of the No. 8 car 28 becomes "Yes" in the judgment whether the door open is completed on the first floor, and the step S is executed.
Proceeding to 111, STATE (8) = 3. When the calculation is completed up to the eighth car, N = N + 1 = 9 in step S117, and this series of car state input operations is completed by the determination in step S118. With this, the car states of the elevators from Units 1 to 8 are controlled by Units 1 to 8 control units 11 to 1
Input from 8 to the group management unit 1, and returns to the main routine.
That is, the car state input operation of step S100 of FIG. 4 is completed, and the process proceeds to the departure priority setting operation of the next step S200.

6 and 7 are flow charts showing the departure priority setting operation of step S200 in the program of FIG.

In the figure, JYUN (*) indicates departure priority. However, * is the machine name. This JYUN
Elevator with 0 (*) is JYUN
Unless the elevator car is full, an elevator with (*) of 1 will start after the first car starts, and an elevator with JYUN (*) of 2 will start after the next car starts. Each car shall be designated one after another. Further, an elevator having JYUN (*) of 9 is not specified in any of the above.
First, in step S201, various counters are initialized. Then, in step S202, it is determined whether or not Unit N is full on the first floor, and if it is full, J is entered in step S203.
Let YUN (N) = 0. If it is not full, it is determined in step S204 whether or not Unit N is on the first floor immediately before the door is closed, and if it is immediately before the door is closed, JYUN (N) =
Set to 9. That is, it means that if the first floor is full, it is designated as a starting car even if it is not a starting car until now, and if it is just before the door is closed on the first floor, it will depart and the starting car designation is canceled. This is performed in steps S206 and S20.
After 7, the first to eighth units are sequentially executed. In addition,
In the example described above, there is no corresponding machine, so in the series of operations from step S202 to step S207,
Departure priorities are not determined for all elevators.

Next, from step S208 to step S2
When the preceding car and the next car are exhausted by a series of operations of 20, the process of moving up from the next car and the next car is performed. As this operation will be described later, it is assumed here that the first car and the next car have not been decided yet (actually, there is no such thing except the first operation).
The sequential car selection process after step S221 will be described.

In step S221, first, since L = 1, it is determined whether or not the first car 21 is designated as the first car, the second car, and the next car. If Unit 1 does not receive these designations, JYUN (1) = 9 (not shown in the figure, but all units shall be set to 9 when first operated) , The process proceeds to step S222, and is the input setting for the car state of the first car S
The size of TATE (1) and MINST are compared. In the above-mentioned FIG. 5, since STATE (1) = 2 of the first machine is smaller than MINST which is 6, the process advances to step S223 to set MINST = STATE (1) = 2 and MINNO = 1. And step S
In step 224, L = L + 1 = 2 is set, and after the determination in step S225, the process returns to step S221, and the calculation is performed for the second machine this time.

In FIG. 5 above, the second unit is STATE (2).
= 4, which is larger than MINST, which is 2. Therefore, the process proceeds from step S222 to step S224 and L = L + 1 =
3, after the determination of step S225,
Return to 221. In this way, when the calculation up to Unit 8 is completed, the process moves from step S225 to step S226.

Therefore, by the processing here, MIN
NO is set as the number of the car with the smallest STATE value. In this example, the first machine with STATE = 2 is set, MINNO = 1, and MINNO = 0 is not established. Therefore, the process proceeds from step S226 to step S229.
JYUN (1) = 2, and this series of operations ends. That is, the car 21 of the first car is set as a car to be issued one after another.

If all the cars are not on the first floor, STATE becomes 6 and does not become smaller than MINST which is 6 in step S222. Therefore, step S223 for all cars is jumped and the process proceeds to step S224. In that case, MINNO remains 0 set in step S201, and steps 226 through S226 are performed.
Proceeding to 227, the elevator car (L) with the shortest expected arrival time is selected, and JYUN (L) = 2 in step S228.
The elevator car (L) is set as a car after another.

This means that the departure priority order setting operation of step S200 in FIG. 4 has been performed once. Next, before describing the display order setting operation of step S300 and the car control output operation of step S400 of FIG. 4, the second departure priority setting operation will be described.

As described above, the next car is set to the first car 21 for the time being, but the next car has not been decided yet. Therefore, there is no elevator car with JYUN = 1, and the process does not proceed from step S211 to step S214. Therefore, when J = 9 in step S212, step S212 is performed.
From 213, the process proceeds to step S216.

In step S216, JYUN (1) = 2.
Therefore, if K = 1, the process proceeds to step S219, and since J = 9, JYUN is performed in step S220.
(1) = 1. That is, the first car 21 is designated as the next car.

Then, in step S221, JYUN
(L) = 9 except for elevator cars (the next car, No. 1)
Select the elevator car of the car with the smallest E value. In this example, the 8th car whose STATE is 3 is selected, and in step S229, JYUN (8) = 2 is set and the 8th car 28 is designated as the car to be issued one after another.

When the step S200 of FIG. 4 is reached for the third time, the starting car has not been decided yet, so that I = 9 in the step S209 as in the selection of the next car.
When J = 1, the process proceeds from step S211 to step S214 and step S215, and JYUN (1) =
It becomes 0. That is, the first car 21 is designated as the starting car. As a result, since the next car is vacant, the eighth car 28 moves up to the next car and again selects the next car from the other remaining cars. Then, the second car 22 with the third smallest STATE is selected as the car to be launched one after another.

Thus, the first car (JYUN
(1) = 0), No. 8 in the next car (JYUN (8) =
1), No. 2 car (JYUN (2) = 2) is selected for the next car. After this, the advance car, the next car, and the next car are carried up each time the cars run out. When the cars run out one after another, the cars selected from other elevators not specified are selected one after another.

Next, the display order setting operation in step S300 of FIG. 4 will be described. 8 and 9 are flowcharts showing the display order setting operation of step S300 in the program of FIG.

In the figure, after setting various counters in step S301, JYUN is set in step S302.
(1) = 0 or not, that is, it is determined whether or not the first car is the starting car. In this example, since the first car is just the starting car, steps S302 to S303,
In step S304, STR =
STATE (1) -1 = 2-1 = 1, STL = STAT
E (1) + 1 = 2 + 1 = 3. And step S
At 308, it is determined whether STR is 2 or more. here,
Since STR = 1 <2, the process proceeds to step S310 and D
ISPR (1) = 0 is set, and the process proceeds to step S311. D
ISPR (*) indicates a right hall lantern display signal.
However, * is the machine name. When this DISPR (*) is 1, normal flicker is displayed on the advance display, and DISPR (*) is 2
When it is, it is normally lit in the next display, and when DISPR (*) is other than 1 or 2, it is not lit in other cases. In step S311, it is determined whether STL is 2 or more. Here, since STL = 3> 2, the process proceeds to step S312, DISPL (1) = 1, and DNL = DNL + 1 = 0.
+ 1 = 1. DISPL (*) indicates a left hall lantern display signal, and * is a machine name. This DI
The meaning of SPL (*) is the same as that of DISPR (*). After this, in step S314, N = N + 1 = 2
As a result, after the determination in step S315,
Returning to 02, this time we will perform calculations for Unit 2.

In this way, the same calculation is performed up to the 8th machine. In this example, there is no starting car other than the first car, so 2
For Units 8 to 8, jump from step S302 to step S314 and proceed to DISPR (*), DI
The values of SPL (*), DNR and DNL do not change. In addition,
DISPR (*) and DISPL (*) are reset to 0 when the power is turned on.

Then, the process proceeds to step S316 of FIG. 9 to set N = 1 again, and JYUN (1) = 1 at step S317.
Whether or not, that is, whether or not the first car is the next car is determined. In this example, the first car is not the next car, so step S
Then, the process proceeds from step 317 to step S319, and step S319.
Then, it is determined whether or not JYUN (1) = 2, that is, whether or not the first car is the next car. Since the first car is not one after another, the process proceeds from step S319 to step S321. After that, N = N + 1 = 2 is set in step S321, the process returns to step S317 after the determination in step S322.
This time, we will perform calculations for Unit 2.

Since the second car is the next car in sequence, the process proceeds to step S320 by determining whether JYUN (2) = 2 in step S319. DISPR in step S320
(2) = DNR + 2 = 0 + 2 = 2, DISPL (2) =
DNL + 2 = 1 + 2 = 3. After this, step S3
In N21, N = N + 1 = 3 is set, and after the determination in step S322, the process returns to step S317, and the calculation is performed for the third machine this time. In this way, the calculation is sequentially performed for each machine.

In the case of the No. 8 machine, it is the next car, so
The process proceeds to step S318 by determining whether JYUN (8) = 1 in step S317. In step S318, D
ISPR (8) = DNR + 1 = 0 + 1 = 1, DISPL
(8) = DNL + 1 = 1 + 1 = 2.

By this series of display order setting operations, 1
The starting display by DISPL (1) = 1 is set for the car No. 2, the starting display by DISPR (8) = 1 and the next display by DISPR (8) = 2 are set for car No. 2, and
The next display based on DISPR (2) = 2 is set for the number unit. After that, the process returns to the main routine and shifts to the car control output operation of the next step S400 in FIG.

Next, the car control output operation of step S400 of FIG. 4 will be described. FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing the car control output operation of step S400 in the program of FIG.

In the figure, first, in step S401, N
= 1 and the right hall lantern display signal DISPR (N) and the left hall lantern display signal DISPL (N) are output to the No. 1 to No. 8 control units 11 to 18 in step S402. Although N = 1 in this first loop, N = 8 is sequentially calculated through steps S408 and S409. Here, a description will be given collectively. As described above, DISPR (1) = 0,
DISPL (1) = 1 is output, DISPR (2) = 2 and DISPL (2) = 3 are output to the No. 2 control unit 12, and DISPR (8) = 1, D to the No. 8 control unit 18.
ISPL (8) = 2 is output. In addition, DISPR (*) = 0, D
ISPL (*) = 0 is output.

Then, in step S403, the hall call button 2
Alternatively, it is determined whether or not the hall call button 4 is operated.
If the hall call button 2 or the hall call button 4 is currently operated, it is determined in step S404 whether DISPL (N) = 1 or not. If it is 1, the chime ringing signal of the No. N machine is output in step S407. To do. If the hall call button 2 or the hall call button 4 is not operated in step S403,
In step S405, it is determined whether the hall call button 3 or the hall call button 5 has been operated. If the hall call button 3 or the hall call button 5 is currently operated, step S
At 406, it is determined whether DISPR (N) = 1 or not, and if it is 1, similarly, at step S407, the chime ringing signal of the Nth machine is output. After this, in step S408, N = N
The value is set to +1 and the process returns to step S402 after the determination in step S409. In this way, the same calculation is performed up to the 8th machine.

In this example, the hall call button 2 or the hall call button 4
Is operated, DISPL (1) = 1, so the chime ringing signal of Unit 1 is output. If the hall call button 3 or hall call button 5 is operated, DISPL (8) = 1, so A chime ringing signal is output.

The No. 1 to No. 8 control units 11 to 18 control the right hall lantern display signals DISPR (1) to DISPR.
Depending on the value of (8), a lighting instruction is given to the right-hand hall lanterns 31R to 38R for the first to eighth units, respectively, and the first to eighth units of the left-hand hall lantern display signals DISPL (1) to DISPL (8), respectively. Left-handed hall lantern 3 for
A lighting instruction is issued to 1L to 38L. As mentioned above, DIS
The PR (*) and DISPL (*) values are blinking at 1 and lit at 2 and turned off at other times, so in this example, the left hall lantern 31L for Unit 1 and the No. 8 Right-handed hall lantern 38R flashes Right-handed hall lantern 32R for Unit 2 and left-handed hall lantern 38 for Unit 8
L lights up and all other hall lanterns go out.

Further, the No. 1 to No. 8 control units 11 to 18 receive the chime ringing signal, and the No. 1 to No.
Ring the chimes 31C to 38C of Unit 8. In this example, the operation of the hall call button 2 or the hall call button 4 rings the chime 31C for the first car, and the operation of the hall call button 3 or the hall call button 5 rings the chime 38C of the eighth car.

The above series of operations can be summarized as follows. First of all, for those coming to the elevator hall,
The two right and left hall lanterns corresponding to the viewing position properly indicate the elevator to be boarded. That is, in this example, the first car is the first car, but since it is already in the state of getting on and off, people who come to the elevator hall from the left in FIG. 2 blink the left hall lantern 31L for the first car and board. For those coming from the right, it is impossible to get passengers to the elevator of Unit 1 and the right-hand hall lantern 31R for Unit 1 is not turned on. Unit 8 is actually the next car, but for those coming from the right, we blink the right-hand hall lantern 38R for Unit 8 to encourage boarding.

When a passenger in the elevator hall is at a loss as to which elevator to take, or when the hall call buttons 2 to 5 are operated without an elevator, the elevators to be boarded are displayed by the chimes 31C to 38C. .. That is, when the person on the left side of the elevator hall in FIG. 2 operates the hall call button 2 or the hall call button 4, the chime 31C of the first car, which is the starting car, is sounded to prompt the passenger to board, and the right side of the elevator hall. When a person in the car operates the landing call button 3 or the landing call button 5, it is impossible to board the first car, which is the first car, into the elevator, and it is the next car.
Sound the chime 38C of the Unit No. In this way, the waiting passenger is guided to the elevator car near the operating position of the hall call buttons 2-5.

As described above, the elevator hall display control device according to the present embodiment includes the No. 1 to No. 8 control units 11 to 18 for controlling the No. 1 to No. 8 elevators, respectively, and a plurality of these elevators. A group management unit 1, which is a group management unit that manages as a group, and that makes one or a plurality of elevators service a predetermined elevator hall,
A plurality of hall call buttons, which are hall call means arranged in the elevator hall to call a hall by operating a button, and the plurality of hall call buttons 2 to 5 (hall call means) according to the button operation. Right elevator hall lanterns 31R to 38R, which is a hall display means for selecting an elevator suitable for passengers from among the elevators, and appropriately displaying the first car and the next car in the elevator hall according to the position of the passenger. It is provided with facing hall lanterns 31L to 38L and chimes 31C to 38C.

That is, the elevator hall display control device of the present embodiment, when servicing one or a plurality of elevators among the group 1 to 8 elevators to a predetermined elevator hall, The elevators suitable for passengers are selected from the elevators of Nos. 1 to 8 according to the operation of a plurality of hall call buttons 2 to 5 arranged at the elevator hall, and the position of the passenger at the elevator hall is selected. Is displayed according to.

In particular, in this embodiment, when the hall call buttons 2 to 5 are operated, the elevators suitable for passengers are selected from the positions of the hall call buttons 2 to 5 and the chimes 31C to 38C are selected.
Display with. Moreover, the elevators that are expected to be late for the departure of the elevators are not displayed due to the relationship between the operated positions of the hall call buttons 2 to 5 and the positions of the elevators. Further, the right-hand hall lanterns 31R to 38R and the left-hand hall lantern 31L are considered in consideration of the relationship between the position of the user such as the direction of the person coming to the elevator hall and the position of the elevator.
Control the departure display of ~ 38L as appropriate.

Therefore, it is possible to appropriately display to the waiting passengers at various positions in the elevator hall, which elevator of the plurality of elevators should be taken according to various situations. For this reason, the person who operates the hall call buttons 2 to 5 and the passengers who are approaching the elevator hall can easily recognize which of a plurality of elevators to get on, and the passengers are smoothly guided to the elevator car. Can contribute to good elevator operation.

By the way, in the above embodiment, the first car is explained as one unless the elevator car is full, but the present invention is not limited to this. It is possible to have multiple elevators as the starting car. In such a case, even if it is possible to ride on either of the elevators in terms of time, there is a case where it is desired to disperse the cars in each car and to ride them. For that purpose, STR ≧ 2 in step S308 of FIG. 8 (it is possible to board the elevator hall from the right), step S311.
