In FIG. 2, reference numerals 1a to 1d are doors of the elevator No. 1 on the first to fourth floors, and 2a to 2e are doors of the elevator No. 1 on the first to fifth floors. In particular, the first elevator does not service (stop) the 5th floor. 3 is the destination floor button 3 for floors above the 2nd floor
a to 3d is a hall control panel installed on the first floor, which is operated by passengers at the elevator hall to register the corresponding calls to the first and second machines. 4a
-4d are hall buttons installed in elevator halls on the second and higher floors to register the call of the ascending or descending elevator car with No. 1 or No. 2. In addition, the first unit is on the first floor ~
It can be stopped at the landing on the 4th floor, and Unit 2 can be stopped at the landing on the 1st to 5th floors, and each service will be provided.

In FIG. 1, reference numeral 3a1 is a built-in button for the destination floor button 3a on the second floor, and is a registration light for displaying the registered destination floor for call registration. Similarly, 3b1 to 3d1 are registration lights for the third to fifth floors, respectively. When Unit 1 runs from a floor other than the first floor and starts decelerating to stop on the first floor, the signal changes from "L" to "H".
Stop decision signal to the 1st floor of Unit 1 and 6 is 1 of Unit 2
Similarly, in response to the stop determination signal to the floor, when the second car travels from a floor other than the first floor and starts deceleration to stop on the first floor, the signal changes from "L" to "H". A pulse generator 10 repeatedly outputs rectangular wave pulse signals of "H" and "L" at a constant cycle, and determines the repeated blinking cycle of the registration lights 3a1 to 3d1. Reference numerals 11 and 12 denote timers in which the output signal immediately becomes "H" at the rise of the input signal "H" and the output signal becomes "L" when a predetermined time elapses (in this embodiment, "4 seconds"). This is to specify the repeated blinking time of the registration lights 3a1 to 3d1. 21 to 24 are RS flip-flops (hereinafter,
This is simply referred to as "memory", and is used as a memory for storing the registered destination floor when the destination floor buttons 3a to 3d are operated. 21a to 24a are outputs of the memories 21 to 24 and are destination registration signals of the second to fifth floors, respectively. 31-3
4 is an AND gate, 35 is an OR gate, 36 to 38 are inhibit gates, 39 is an OR gate, 41 is a NOT gate. These logic circuits have different circuit configurations depending on the service contents of the first and second machines. When the destination registration signal is registered, 40 selects the first or second elevator car most suitable for the destination call, and the destination floor button 3
It is a known car allocating device for allocating the elevator car to the floor where a to 3d are operated.

Next, the operation of the elevator call registration device thus configured will be described. Now, tentatively, Unit 1 is 4
When waiting on the first floor and Unit 2 is waiting on the fifth floor,
Depending on the passengers in the hall going from the first floor to the third floor (hereinafter referred to as "passenger A") and the passengers in the hall going from the first floor to the fifth floor (hereinafter referred to as "passenger B"), the destination floor buttons 3b and 5 on the third floor. It is assumed that the destination floor button 3d on the floor is pressed.

When the destination floor button 3b is pressed, the memory 22 for storing the registered destination floor is set, and the destination registration signal 22a on the third floor changes from "L" to "H" to display the destination call registration on the third floor. The registration light 3b1 lights continuously. When the destination floor button 3d is pressed, the memory 24 is set and 5
The destination registration signal 24a on the floor changes from "L" to "H", and 5
The registration lamp 3d1 that displays the destination call registration on the floor lights up continuously. As a result, the passengers A and B on the first floor can recognize that the destination call has been registered.

Further, when the destination registration signal 22a on the third floor and the destination registration signal 24a on the fifth floor become "H", the car allocation device 40.
Thus, the most suitable elevator car for each destination call is selected and assigned to the first floor. Here, the destination call on the 3rd floor is assigned the first serviceable unit on the 3rd floor, the destination call on the 5th floor is assigned the second serviceable unit on the 5th floor, and both the first and second units are assigned. It is assumed that the elevator car starts traveling toward the first floor. After that, the order in which Units 1 and 2 arrive on the first floor depends on the status of the hall calls on the floors in the middle. That is, because Unit 1 or Unit 2 is assigned to an intermediate floor and stops or does not stop, 1st; 1st unit arrives before 2nd unit; 2nd unit is more than 1st unit It is divided into the case of arriving first. Hereinafter, these two cases will be described.

1st; when Unit 1 arrives before Unit 2 When Unit 1 stops on the first floor, deceleration starts at a predetermined distance before the first floor, and Unit 1 stops on the first floor The decision signal 5 changes from "L" to "H", and at the same time, the OR gate 35
Output changes from “L” to “H”, the output of the timer 11 becomes “H” for a predetermined time (4 seconds in this embodiment), and the memory 22 is set to the input of the AND gate 32. Since its gate is open, its output periodically repeats "H" and "L" in accordance with the output of the pulse generator 10, so that the output of the inhibit gate 37 also periodically repeats "H" and "L". .. As a result, the registration light 3b1 indicating the destination call registration on the third floor repeatedly blinks in accordance with the output of the inhibit gate 37. After that, a predetermined time (4

Destination registration signal 2 on the 5th floor, which is the output of the memory 24
Since 4a becomes "L" and the output of the OR gate 39 becomes "L", the registration lamp 3d1 for displaying the destination call registration on the fifth floor is turned off. On the other hand, when the stop decision signal 6 to the first floor changes from "L" to "H", the output of the timer 12 is the predetermined time (4 seconds).
Becomes "H", and the output of the AND gate 34 repeats "H" and "L" periodically according to the output of the pulse generator 10. Therefore, the output of the OR gate 39 also periodically changes "H" and "L". Repeatedly, as a result, the destination call registration light 3d1 on the 5th floor is O
It repeatedly blinks according to the output of the R gate 39.

When a predetermined time (4 seconds) has elapsed, the timer 12
Output changes from "H" to "L", the output of the AND gate 34 changes to "L", and the output of the OR gate 39 changes to "L", so that the destination call registration lamp 3d1 on the fifth floor is turned off. As a result, the registration light 3d1 that displays the destination call registration on the 5th floor repeatedly blinks for a predetermined time (4 seconds), and Passenger B can recognize that the elevator car No. 2 serving the 5th floor arrives. it can. After that, Unit 2 arrived on the first floor,
Since the door 2a of the hall on the first floor is opened, the passenger B can get on the elevator car of the second car which can be serviced on the fifth floor.

2nd; when Unit 2 arrives before Unit 1, Unit 2 stops on the first floor, so if you start decelerating at a predetermined distance before the first floor, it will be decided to stop Unit 2 on the first floor. The signal 6 changes from "L" to "H", the memory 24 is reset, the registered destination floor on the fifth floor is erased, the destination call registration signal 24a on the fifth floor, which is the output of the memory 24, becomes "L", and the OR gate 39 Becomes "L", the registration lamp 3d1 for displaying the destination call registration on the fifth floor is turned off. on the other hand,
When the stop decision signal 6 to the first floor becomes "H", the timer 12
Output becomes "H" for a predetermined time (4 seconds) and AND gate 3

Also periodically repeats "H" and "L". as a result,
The registration lamp 3b1 indicating the destination call registration on the third floor repeatedly blinks in accordance with the output of the inhibit gate 37. After that, when a predetermined time (4 seconds) elapses, the output of the timer 11 becomes "L" and the output of the NOT gate 41 changes from "L" to "H", and the memory 22 is reset. As a result, the gate of the AND gate 32 is closed and its output opens the gate of the inhibit gate 37.
Has been reset, its output also goes to "L",
The destination call registration light 3b1 on the third floor is turned off. Similarly, when a predetermined time (4 seconds) has elapsed, the output of the timer 12 becomes "L" and the output of the AND gate 34 becomes "L", and the OR gate 39
Since the output of is also "L", the registration lamp 3d1 on the fifth floor is turned off.

As a result, the registration lights 3b1 and 3d1 on the 3rd and 5th floors repeatedly blink for a predetermined time (4 seconds), so that passengers A and B can service the 3rd and 5th floors. It is possible to recognize early that the Unit will arrive. After that, the second car arrives at the first floor and opens the door 2a on the first floor so that the passengers A and B can both board the elevator car of the second car which can serve the third floor and the fifth floor. In this embodiment, when the passenger A and the passenger B on the first floor register the registered destination floors on the third and fifth floors, the first and second units are assigned respectively, but the third and fifth floors are assigned. In some cases, it may be assigned to only one of the No. 2 machines that can service each other. At this time, the above-mentioned second Unit 2 is 1
The operation is the same as when arriving on the first floor.
When the stop decision signal 6 to the floor becomes "H", both the registered destination floor of the third floor and the registered destination floor of the fifth floor are erased, and the registration lights 3b1 and 3d1 for displaying the destination call registration of the third floor and the fifth floor are predetermined. It blinks repeatedly for hours and Unit 2 arrives on the 1st floor and the door 2 on the 1st floor
If a is opened, passengers A and B can both ride in the car of Unit 2 which can serve on the 3rd and 5th floors.
