Abstract

PURPOSE:To reduce the work burden of an elevator operator at the time of performing operation for the purpose of giving service to passengers going to the specific floor. CONSTITUTION:Plural elevators are put in service in a building constituted of the common floors to which plural elevator cars can be in common service and the specific floors to which only the specific elevator car can be in service. In the case of performing group supervisory operation of assigning the specific car with priority to a landing call in the direction of the specific floor by an assigning means 9B and a specific car priority means 9C, the use of an elevator by passengers going to the specific floor is detected by a detecting means 9D. The detected result of the detecting means 9D is then counted by a data collecting means 9E, and the frequency of use is computed and stored. When the use frequency computed by the data collecting means 9E exceeds the reference value, a judging means 9F authorizes priority assignment action to the specific car priority means 9C and inhibits priority assignment action when the use frequency is less than the reference value.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a group management device for elevators, and more particularly to a group consisting of a common floor where a plurality of elevator cars commonly serve and a specific floor where only a particular elevator car can serve. The present invention relates to an elevator group management device that activates the elevator car.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Stop floors of a plurality of elevators managed as a group are not always the same. For example, there are cases as shown in FIG. That is, there is a building from the 1st floor to the 6th floor, and in this building, two units, the a-unit and the b-unit, are managed as a group, and the a-unit serves the common floor of the 1st to 5th floors
Unit b has a common floor, an upper specific floor 6th floor, and a lower specific floor 1st basement floor (hereinafter referred to as B1 floor) and 2nd basement floor (hereafter
It's called "2nd floor". FIG. 16 is a schematic diagram showing a structure of a building provided with a conventional elevator group management device.

In the figure, A is an elevator car of Unit a, which is descending on the 4th floor. B is the elevator car of Unit b and is descending the 5th floor. 10B2 is a hall button on the second basement floor provided in the elevator hall on the second basement floor, 10B1 is a hall button on the first basement floor which is also provided on the elevator hall on the first basement floor, and 101 to 106 are each of the first to sixth floors. The 1st to 6th floor hall buttons provided at the elevator halls, 102U is the 2nd floor ascending hall button, and 102D is the 2nd floor ascending hall button.

In the conventional group control elevator, from the second floor to B
It is assumed that a person who wants to go to the second floor presses the down hall button 102D on the second floor. Then, it is assumed that the elevator car A of the car No. a is assigned to this call and stops. This passenger must get on elevator car A and descend to the first floor, then change to elevator car B of Unit b to go to B2 floor or use the stairs. To avoid this annoyance, even if the elevator car A of Unit a stops on the second floor,
There was also a case where the passenger did not board the vehicle and saw it off, and again pressed the down hall button 102D to wait for the service of the elevator car B of the car No. b. As a result, the number of unnecessary stops of the elevator car may increase.

Further, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 61-254476 proposes a method of installing a special button for a floor with inconsistent services on a common floor, but it requires a high installation cost and impairs the appearance of the elevator hall. It was not preferable.

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, for example, a method of preferentially allocating a specific machine capable of servicing a specific floor to a hall call in the direction toward the specific floor is disclosed in JP-B-61.
No. 23,156 and Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 61-162476. According to this method, there is an advantage that the number of passengers who can go to a specific floor without connecting is increased without incurring a large cost.

[0007]

However, in the conventional elevator group management device as described above, if priority allocation is made to a specific car, a small number of people who go to the specific floor can be used when there are few passengers who go to the specific floor. Because of the passengers, the waiting time of many passengers going to the common floor was long. On the other hand, if the priority allocation for the specific unit is disabled, the number of passengers going to the specific floor is increased, and the number of wasteful stops increases, resulting in a decrease in operating efficiency.

Therefore, the elevator manager (or
It was necessary for the person in charge of elevator maintenance) to monitor the operation status of the elevator by himself and accurately grasp the number of passengers going to a specific floor. Further, it is necessary to timely determine the switching timing for enabling or disabling the priority allocation operation based on the number of passengers going to the specific floor. In this way, attempting to effectively carry out the above-mentioned priority allocation takes a lot of time and labor, and poses a problem of forcing the manager to perform difficult work. Furthermore, when trying to provide a well-balanced service to passengers who go to the specific floor and passengers who go to the common floor, the manager himself changes the priority for the specific unit according to the number of passengers going to the specific floor. This is also a very difficult and time-consuming task for the manager.

On the other hand, from the standpoint of the elevator user, not the administrator, as proposed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 62-96282, when a car that cannot service a specific floor answers a hall call, For example, if you give guidance such as "This elevator does not go underground. If you go underground, please change at the nearest floor or press the landing button again and wait." For passengers using the elevator It was a very kind guide. However, if this guidance is given too often, it could make passengers feel noisy or annoying. Therefore, similar to the priority allocation operation, the administrator appropriately operates the guidance operation enable switch to invalidate the guidance operation when the number of passengers who go to the specific floor is small, and conversely there are many passengers who go to the specific floor. At that time, it took time and effort to enable the guidance operation. Further, similarly to the above-mentioned priority allocation operation, it is very difficult for the manager to judge the switching timing.

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention manages a group of elevators which can reduce the work load on the elevator manager regarding the operation of driving for the purpose of servicing passengers going to a specific floor. It is an object to provide a device.

First, the operation of the control program will be described with reference to the flow charts shown in FIGS. FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing a control program executed by the elevator group management system according to the first embodiment of the present invention.

In the control program of FIG. 3, first, in the detection program of step S50, passengers using the upper specific floor and the lower specific floor are detected by floor and direction.
This procedure will be described with reference to FIG.

FIG. 4 is a flow chart showing a detection program by the elevator group management system according to the first embodiment of the present invention.

In the upper specific floor car detection program at step S51 of FIG. 4, it is detected at step S52 whether or not the car No. a is stopped in response to one of the first to fourth floor uplink calls, and further steps are performed. In S53, it is determined whether or not the car call on the upper specific floor, that is, the sixth floor, has just been registered.
Immediately after the 6th floor car call is registered in the car a, in step S54, the detection flag FLAGH for each "elevator hall" corresponding to the car position hall fa of the car a
(Fa) is set to "1". In all other cases than the above, the car position hall fa of Unit a is always in step S55.
FLAG for each "elevator hall" corresponding to
Reset H (fa) to "0". Therefore, the detection flag FLAGH (fa) for each hall is set to "1" only during the period (0.1 seconds) of the calculation cycle in which the passenger is detected. The "elevator hall" used here indicates the floor and the direction of travel at the same time, and when the hall number is 1 to 7, B2
Corresponding to the "elevator halls" in the upward direction on the 1st floor, 1st floor to 5th floor, when the hall number is 8-14, 6th floor-1st floor,
It corresponds to the "elevator hall" in the down direction on the B1 floor. In addition, the "elevator platform" that indicates the floor where the elevator car is located and the direction of operation is called "car position platform", and the "elevator platform" that is on the same floor but in the opposite direction is called "reverse direction platform".

Also in the car detection program for the lower specified floor car in the next step S61, similarly to the car detection program for the upper specified floor car in step S51, in step S62, the car No. 2 is located on one of the second floor to the fifth floor. In response to the downlink call, it is detected whether or not the car is stopped, and it is further determined in step S63 whether or not the car call on the lower specific floor, that is, the B2 floor or the B1 floor has just been registered. Immediately after the car call on the B2 floor or the B1 floor is registered in the b car that has stopped in response to the downlink call on any of the 2nd to 5th floors, in step S64, the car position platform fb of the b car. The detection flag FLAGH (fb) for each hall corresponding to is set to "1". In all other cases, in step S65, the hall-specific detection flag FLAGH (fb) corresponding to the car position hall fb of the car No. b is reset to "0".

After detecting the passengers on the upper specific floor and the lower specific floor in this way, the data collection program of the next step S70 is based on the above detection result for each time zone (one hour, one day). Is divided into 24 time zones), and the weighted average is calculated with the past use frequency in the same time zone, and the result is stored as a new use frequency. This procedure will be described with reference to FIG.

FIG. 5 is a flow chart showing a data collection program by the elevator group management system according to the first embodiment of the present invention.

In the data collection program of FIG. 5, in step S71, it is determined whether the value of minute and second becomes 00 minutes 00 seconds based on the time signal of the clock (not shown) built in the group management device 9. , Time zone (1 hour unit)
Determine the boundaries of. If the minute and second values are not 00:00, then the kth time zone (the time zone corresponding to the current time)
The process of steps S78 to S82 is performed. That is, first, at step S78, the hall number n is initially set to "1", then at steps S79 and S80, processing corresponding to each "elevator hall" is performed, and at step S81, the hall number n is updated, and at step S82. It is determined whether all "elevator halls" (n = 1 to 14) have been processed. In the process for the n-th "elevator hall", the hall-specific detection flag FLAGH is determined in step S79.
When it is detected that (n) is "1", step S8
At 0, the hall counter PH (n) is incremented by 1, and so on.

In this way, the frequency of use for each "elevator hall" in the kth time zone is counted, and when the minutes and seconds values become 00 minutes 00 seconds and the kth time zone ends, step S71 To S72, the process at the boundary of the time zone is performed in steps S72 to S77. First, in step S72, the hall number n is initialized to "1", and then in step S73, the average value H (k, n) of the use frequencies of the specific floor in the nth "elevator hall" in the kth time zone is calculated. Update. here,
Newly obtained frequency of use, that is, counter PH for each hall
The value of (n) is weighted by 0.25, the average value H (k, n) of past usage frequencies is weighted by 0.75, and the average is calculated. , N). In the next step S74, the hall counter PH (n) for the next time zone is initialized to "0 (times)", the hall number n is updated in step S75, and all "elevator halls" (in step S76). It is determined whether or not n = 1 to 14) has been processed. Then, when the processing for all "elevator halls" is completed, the number k of the new time zone corresponding to the current time is re-obtained in step S77 (since one day is divided into 24 pieces per hour, Increase the number k of 1 by 1, and if it becomes 25 or more, increase the number k to "1"
Return to and set). Through this series of processing, the data collection program 70 counts and stores the number of times (average value) that the upper specific floor and the lower specific floor have been used in the past for each time period.

Next, step S of the control program shown in FIG.
89 to step S119, the hall number n = 1 to 1
For each "elevator hall" corresponding to No. 4, the processing of the determination program of step S90 and the operation recommendation program of step S110 is executed.

First, in the determination program of step S90, the average value H (k, n) of the above-mentioned use frequencies (k = 1, ..., 2)
4. Based on n = 1, ..., 14), when the priority allocation operation to the specific car and the guidance display operation to the passengers going to the specific floor are designated as “automatic selection”, this priority allocation operation and the guidance display operation Whether or not to permit is determined by "elevator landing". That is, in step S91, the average value H (k, n) of the usage frequencies in the "elevator hall" n in the current time zone k
Is above the first reference value Hu (= 11 times), and if the average value H (k, n) is the first reference value Hu.
When it exceeds, the process proceeds to step S92, where the operation permission signal HP (n) is set to “1” and the identification is performed in order to permit the priority allocation operation and the guidance display operation of the “elevator hall” n. When the priority allocation operation to the car and the guidance display operation to the passengers going to the specific floor are designated as “manual selection”, this determination result is displayed on the display device 11 of the terminal device 11.
The display permission flag HQ (n) is set to "1" in order to display it on B and recommend it to the administrator. Also, step S93
Then, the average value H (k, n) of the usage frequencies is the second reference value Hd.
(= 6 times), and if the average value H (k, n) is less than the second reference value Hd, the process proceeds to step S94, where the above-mentioned priority of "elevator hall" n is given. The operation permission signal HP (n) is set to "0" to prohibit the allocation operation and the guidance display operation, and the priority allocation operation to the specific car and the guidance display operation to the passengers going to the specific floor are "manual selection". When it is designated, the display permission flag HQ (n) is set to "1" in order to display this determination result on the display device 11B of the terminal device 11 and recommend it to the administrator. Furthermore, in the case of Hd ≦ H (k, n) ≦ Hu, the operation permission signal HP (n) is left unchanged in order to keep the validity / invalidity of the priority assignment operation and the guidance display operation as they are, In step S95, the priority allocation operation to the specific car and the guidance display operation to the passengers going to the specific floor are “manual selection”.
In the case where the display permission flag HQ is specified, the display device 11B does not display any operation instruction.
Set (n) to "0".

In the operation recommending program of the next step S110, when the priority allocation operation to the specific car and the guidance display operation to the passengers going to the specific floor are designated as "manual selection", the determination program of the step S90 is executed. The determination result is instructed to be displayed on the display device 11B as an operation instruction to the administrator. That is, in step S111, the terminal device 11
It is checked whether or not the priority allocation operation and the guide display operation are designated as "manual selection" by the above. If "manual selection" is designated (selection signal ASW = "0"), the process proceeds to step S112. Here, the signal for instructing to set the priority allocation operation of the "elevator hall" n and the guidance display operation to "valid", that is, the operation valid instruction command signal HS (n) and the priority allocation of the "elevator hall" n. A signal for instructing to set the operation and guidance display operation as "invalid", that is, an operation invalidation instruction signal HR (n), and usage frequency data HN (n) for use as reference data for the administrator's judgment. And are respectively set and output to the display device 11B of the terminal device 11. The operation valid instruction command signal HS
(N) is set by a logical operation of HQ (n) ∧HP (n) ∧ / DP (n), and the operation invalid instruction command signal HR
(N) is set by a logical operation of HQ (n) ∧ / HP (n) ∧DP (n). Here, / represents a negative logic, and the operation permission signal DP (n) by the terminal device 11 is set by the input device 11A of the terminal device 11 and is “valid”.
When inputting, DP (n) = “1” is set, and when inputting “invalid”, DP (n) = “0” is set. In addition, “elevator hall” where hall calls are not common to Units a and b, that is, the upward hall on the B2 floor (n =
1), B1 floor upland hall (n = 2), 5th floor upland hall (n = 5), 6th floor downhill hall (n = 7), 1
For the down hall on the first floor (n = 13) and the down hall on the B1 floor (n = 14), the hall operation permission signal DP
(N) and the display permission flag HQ (n) are always set to "0".

For example, in the up hall n (= 6) on the 4th floor, the display permission flag HQ (6) = "1", the movement permission signal HP (6) = "1", and the movement permission signal D
When P (6) = “0”, operation valid instruction command signal H
S (6) = “1”. Therefore, the display device 11B
A display such as the display example 121 of FIG. 8 is displayed on the CRT screen. FIG. 8 is an explanatory diagram showing a display example of operation instructions by the elevator group management system according to the first embodiment of the present invention.
That is, regarding the priority allocation operation to the passengers going from the 4th floor to the upper specific floor (roof floor = 6th floor), "the operation for the 4th floor is set to" invalid ", but it is judged to be" valid "based on the frequency of use. It is better to set to. ”Together with the display of the usage frequency. Further, a display such as the display example 123 of FIG. 10 is displayed. FIG. 10 is an explanatory diagram showing a display example of operation instructions by the elevator group management system according to the first embodiment of the present invention. In other words, regarding the guidance display operation of the service floor from the 4th floor to passengers going to the upper specific floor, similarly, “the operation for the 4th floor is set to“ invalid ”, but it is set to“ valid ”based on the frequency of use”. It is better to do it ",
This is done together with the display of the usage frequency.

In the up hall n (= 4) on the second floor, the display permission flag HQ (4) = "1", the operation permission signal HP (4) = "0", and the operation permission signal DP.
(4) = “1”, operation invalid instruction command signal HR
(N) = “1”. Therefore, on the CRT screen of the display device 11B, as shown in the display example 121 of FIG. 8 as well, regarding the priority allocation operation from the second floor to the upper specific floor passengers, "the operation for the second floor is set to" valid ". However, it is preferable to set "invalid" based on the frequency of use "together with the display of the frequency of use. In addition, as shown in the display example 123 of FIG. 10, similarly for the guidance display operation of the service floor from the second floor to the passengers going to the upper specific floor, “the operation for the second floor is set to“ valid ”, A display indicating that “it is better to set it to“ invalid ”based on the frequency of use” is displayed together with the display of the frequency of use.

Furthermore, the uphill landing n (=
In 3), when the display permission flag HQ (3) = “0”, the operation permission signal HP (3) = “1”, and the operation permission signal DP (3) = “1”, the operation is valid. The instruction command signal HS (3) and the operation invalidation instruction command signal HR (3) are both "0". Therefore, the CRT of the display device 11B
The display example 121 of FIG. 8 and the display example 123 of FIG. 10 are displayed on the screen.
As shown in, a message indicating that "the current setting can be set" is displayed.

The same applies to the priority allocation operation for passengers going to the basement floor, and the CRT screen of the display device 11B displays, for example,
A display like the display example 122 of FIG. 9 is performed. FIG. 9 is an explanatory diagram showing another display example of the operation instruction by the elevator group management device according to the first embodiment of the present invention.

As described above, in the control program of FIG. 3, the use frequency of the specific floor is detected, and the priority allocation operation to the specific floor and the guidance display operation for passengers to the specific floor are enabled / disabled based on the detected frequency. In addition to making a determination, the administrator is presented with a recommendation regarding valid / invalid setting of the priority allocation operation and the guide display operation.

Next, the hall call allocating operation will be described with reference to the flowchart showing the procedure of the allocating processing program of FIG. FIG. 6 is a flow chart showing an allocation processing program by the elevator group management system according to the first embodiment of the present invention.

In the allocation processing program shown in the figure, first,
In step S231, it is determined whether a hall call is newly registered. If no new hall call is registered, this allocation processing program is immediately exited, but if it is detected that a new hall call is registered, step S
232 and step S233, the waiting time evaluation values Wa and W when the new hall call c is provisionally assigned to each elevator car.
Calculate each b. Although many methods have been proposed so far for calculating the waiting time evaluation values Wa and Wb, in the first embodiment, the waiting times of the new hall call c and other registered hall calls are respectively set. A method of predicting and using the sum of squares of the predicted waiting time as the waiting time evaluation value is used. This method is described in detail in Japanese Examined Patent Publication No. 58-48464, so detailed description will be omitted here. When the new hall call c is a hall call that is not common to Units a and b, that is, the B2 floor uplink call, the B1 floor uplink call, the 5th floor uplink call, the 6th floor downlink call, and the 1st floor In the case of a downlink call and a downlink call of the B1 floor, the maximum waiting time evaluation value is set as the waiting time evaluation value of the machine that cannot service.

As described above, the waiting time evaluation values Wa and W
When each b is obtained, the program shifts to the specific car priority program of step S234, and the waiting time evaluation value Wa is set so that the elevator car that can reach the specific floor is preferentially assigned to the hall call in the direction toward the specific floor. Correct Wb,
Comprehensive evaluation values Ea and Eb are calculated respectively. First, in step S235, the priority allocation operation of the elevator hall corresponding to the new hall call c, in which the priority allocation operation is designated as “automatic selection” (selection signal ASW = “1”) by the terminal device 11, "Valid" (operation permission signal HP (c) =
If it is detected that it is automatically determined as "1"), the process proceeds to step S238, where it is determined whether the new hall call c is an up call or a down call. If the new hall call c is an uplink call, in step S239, the priority P (c) is calculated from the waiting time evaluation value Wa of the unit a in order to preferentially allocate the unit a that can go to the upper specific floor. Then, the total evaluation value Ea is obtained. On the other hand, the waiting time evaluation value Wb is set as it is as the overall evaluation value Eb of the No. b machine. If the new hall call c is a downlink call, step S240
In order to preferentially allocate the car No. b that can go to the lower specific floor, the priority P (c) is subtracted from the waiting time evaluation value Wb of the car No. b to obtain the total evaluation value Eb. on the other hand,
The waiting time evaluation value Wa is set as it is as the overall evaluation value Ea of the machine a. Here, it is assumed that the value of the priority P (c) is uniformly set to "400", but the number a and the number b
"Elevator hall" for hall calls that are not common to units
The value of the priority P (c) is set to "0". Further, the priority allocation operation is designated as “manual selection” by the terminal device 11 (selection signal ASW =
“0”), and the terminal device 11 manually sets the priority allocation operation of the hall corresponding to the new hall call c as “valid” (operation permission signal DP (c) = “1”). Similarly, when it is detected, the process proceeds to step S235 → step S236 → step S238, and then to step S2.
In 39 or step S240, the comprehensive evaluation values Ea and Eb are calculated. Furthermore, the priority allocation operation is designated as “automatic selection” by the terminal device 11 (selection signal ASW =
However, the priority allocation operation of the hall corresponding to the new hall call c is “invalid” (operation permission signal HP (c) = “0”) by the determination program of step S90 described above.
When it is automatically determined, or the above-mentioned priority allocation operation is designated as "manual selection" (selection signal ASW = "0"), the terminal apparatus 11 preferentially allocates a hall corresponding to the new hall call c. Is "invalid" (operation permission signal DP
When (c) = “0”) is manually set, the waiting time evaluation values Wa and Wb are directly set as the comprehensive evaluation values Ea and Eb in step S237. That is, in these cases, the priority allocation operation is not applied.

As described above, the comprehensive evaluation values Ea and Eb
Is calculated, then in step S241 the total evaluation value E
Compare a and Eb. If Ea> Eb,
In step S242, the car with the smaller total evaluation value, number b, is selected as the assigned car, and the hall call c allocation command is output to the car controller 8 of the number b. If Ea ≦ Eb,
In step S243, the car with the smaller overall evaluation value, car No. a, is selected as the allocation car, and the allocation command for the hall call c is output to the car control device 7 for car No. a.

In this way, according to the operation permission signal HP (c) by the determination program of step S90 or the operation permission signal DP (c) by the terminal device 11, the upper specific floor car (unit a) or the lower specific car is specified. The validity / invalidity of the priority allocation operation for the floor car (Unit b) is controlled.

Next, the operation of the display command program of the car controller 7 will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.
FIG. 7 is a flow chart showing a display command program by the elevator group management system according to the first embodiment of the present invention.

In the display command program of FIG. 7, whether or not the car No. a is responding to a down call on any of the second to fifth floors in step S371, and from the start of deceleration of the car a in step S372 to the start of door closing. It is determined whether or not the state is. If the car No. a is in a state from the start of deceleration to the start of door closing in response to a down call on any of the second to fifth floors, step S371 → step S37.
2 → Step S373, in which it is determined whether or not the guidance display operation is designated as “automatic selection” by the terminal device 11. "Automatic selection" is specified (selection signal AS
When W = “1”), the process proceeds to step S374, and the guidance display operation on the service floor at the elevator hall corresponding to the car position hall fa of the car No. a is permitted (operation permission signal HP (fa) = “ 1 ”), the display command signal Ca for the in-car display is displayed in step S375.
Is set to "1" and output. On the other hand, when the guidance display operation on the service floor at the hall corresponding to the car position hall fa of Unit A is prohibited (operation permission signal HP (fa) = “0”), the display command signal Ca is output in step S377. It is reset to "0" and output. Also, step S
When the "manual selection" of the guide display operation is designated (selection signal ASW = "0") in 373, the process proceeds to step S376, and the car position platform f of the a-th car is further advanced.
The terminal device 11 permits the guidance display operation of the service floor at the hall corresponding to a (operation permission signal DP (fa) =
If it is "1"), the display command signal Ca for the in-car display device is set to "1" and output in step S375. On the other hand, when the guidance display operation is prohibited,
Similarly, in step S377, the display command signal Ca is reset to "0".

When the in-car display device 3 and the in-car announcement device 4 of the in-car display receive the above-mentioned display command signal Ca for Ca = “1” from the display command means 7D of the car control device 7, A message prepared in advance, "This elevator does not go to the B2 floor and B1 floor. If you go to the B2 floor or B1 floor, please change at the nearest floor or press the hall button again and wait". Guide passengers by text and voice. Also, b
The same applies to the guidance display operation of Unit No., but in the case of Unit No. b, when answering an uplink call from the 1st floor to the 4th floor, you will not be serviced to the rooftop floor and you should transfer to the nearest floor or press the landing button again. The operation permission signal HP (fb) is displayed to confirm whether or not the user may be instructed to press and wait.
Alternatively, the judgment is made according to DP (fb). Here, fb represents the car position hall of the car No. b.

As described above, the elevator group management system according to the present embodiment provides the evaluation value for each hall call on the common floor where a plurality of elevator cars can commonly serve and the specific floor where only a specific elevator car can service the elevator car. The assigning means 9B which calculates each time and selects an elevator car having a small evaluation value as an assigned car, and when assigning a landing call in the direction toward the specific floor, the specific car is preferentially selected as the assigned car. Specific car priority means 9C
And a detection means 9D for detecting the use of the elevator by the passengers going to the specific floor, a data collection means 9E for counting the detection results by the detection means 9D, and calculating and storing the usage frequency based on this, and the data collection. When the usage frequency by the means 9E exceeds the reference value, the priority allocation operation by the specific car priority means 9C is permitted, and when the usage frequency is less than the reference value, the priority allocation operation by the specific car priority means 9C is prohibited. And a determination means 9F for doing so.

That is, the elevator group management system according to the present embodiment preferentially allocates a car destined to the upper specific floor to an upward call and preferentially allocates a car destined to the lower specific floor to a downward call. In, the use of the elevator to the upper specific floor and the use of the elevator to the lower specific floor are detected and stored for each floor, and if automatic selection is specified, the frequency of use to the upper specific floor is the reference value. For uplink calls of floors exceeding the above, the priority allocation operation is automatically enabled and executed, and conversely, for uplink calls of floors whose usage frequency is below a reference value, The priority allocation operation is automatically disabled and the execution is stopped. Also, for downlink calls on floors whose usage frequency to the lower specific floor exceeds the reference value, the priority allocation operation is automatically enabled and executed, and conversely, the usage frequency is below the reference value. For the downlink call of the floor, the priority allocation operation is automatically invalidated and the execution is stopped.

Therefore, since the priority allocation operation is properly performed according to the usage state of the elevator, it is not necessary for the administrator to enable or disable the priority allocation operation, and the burden on the administrator can be reduced. In addition, since the priority allocation operation is enabled / disabled for each floor, even if there is a bias between floors regarding the frequency of use for the upper specific floor and the lower specific floor, passengers who go to the specific floor can It is possible to sufficiently exert the effect of the above-mentioned priority allocation for many floors, and at the same time, to prevent the service (waiting time) of passengers going to the common floor from deteriorating for floors having few passengers going to a specific floor. In addition, if there is no bias between floors regarding the frequency of use to the upper specific floor and the lower specific floor, for each specific floor,
It may be configured to control the validity / invalidity of the priority allocation operation for the entire uplink call or the entire downlink call, and in this case, the same effect is sufficiently obtained.

In addition, in the elevator group management system of this embodiment, in addition to the assigning means 9B, the specific car priority means 9C, the detecting means 9D and the data collecting means 9E, the operation of the specific car priority means 9C is enabled / disabled. 11A (input means) of the terminal device 11 for setting the operation by an external operation, and the display device 11B of the terminal device 11 for displaying an operation instruction regarding the valid / invalid setting of the operation of the specific car priority means 9C.
(Display means), and a display command for displaying that it is better to invalidate the operation of the specific car priority means 9C when the frequency of use by the previous data collecting means 9E is less than or equal to a reference value,
Alternatively, at least one of the display commands for performing the display to the effect that the operation of the specific car priority means 9C should be enabled when the usage frequency exceeds a reference value is displayed by the display device of the terminal device 11. 11B (display means) for outputting operation recommendation means 9G.

That is, the elevator group management system of the present embodiment uses the priority allocation means for each specific floor in order to enable the operator to manually select whether the priority allocation operation is valid or invalid. An input device 11A capable of setting valid / invalid of the operation for each floor, and a display device 11B for displaying an operation instruction for each floor regarding the setting of valid / invalid of the priority allocation operation for each specific floor If manual selection is specified, a message indicating that it is better to enable the above priority allocation operation for uplink calls on floors whose usage frequency to the upper specific floor exceeds the reference value The display device 11B
On the contrary, the display device 11B is made to display a message to the effect that it is better to invalidate the priority allocation operation for the uplink calls of the floor whose usage frequency is equal to or lower than the reference value. Also, for downlink calls on the floors where the frequency of use to the lower specific floor exceeds the reference value, a display indicating that the above priority allocation operation should be enabled is displayed, and conversely, the above-mentioned frequency of use is For a downlink call of a floor below the reference value, a display indicating that it is better to invalidate the priority allocation operation is displayed.

Therefore, the instruction as to whether or not the priority allocation operation is appropriate is accurately displayed according to the usage state of the elevator.
Even when the administrator manually selects the priority allocation operation, it becomes easy to determine the switching timing of the priority allocation operation, and the burden on the administrator can be reduced. In addition, the validity / invalidity of the priority allocation operation is displayed for each floor,
Since the usage frequency of the specific floor is also displayed for each floor, even if there is a bias between floors regarding the usage frequency of the upper specific floor and the lower specific floor, the administrator can You can flexibly judge whether each floor is valid or invalid. In addition, in the case of a building where there is no bias between floors regarding the frequency of use to the upper specific floor or lower specific floor, or in the case of time,
It may be configured to display the validity / invalidity of the priority allocation operation for the entire uplink call or the entire downlink call for each of the specific floors. In this case, the same effect can be sufficiently obtained.

Further, in the elevator group management system of the present embodiment, in addition to the detection means 9D and the data collection means 9E, it is installed in a car and the car display device 3 for aurally or visually displaying predetermined contents is displayed. Announcement device 4 (guidance display means) in the car, and when it is detected that an elevator car other than the specific car has stopped in response to a landing call in the direction toward the specific floor, guidance that the specific floor will not be serviced To the in-car display device 3 and the in-car announcement device 4 (guidance display means), and the display command means 7D when the frequency of use by the data collecting means 9E exceeds a reference value.
The display command output to the in-car display device 3 and the in-car announcement device 4 (guidance display means) is permitted, and when the usage frequency is equal to or lower than a reference value, the display command means 7D The display device 3 and the in-car announcement device 4 (guidance display means) are provided with a determination means 9F that prohibits output of a display command.

That is, when the elevator car other than the car destined for the upper specific floor stops in response to an upstream call, the elevator group management system of the present embodiment gives the guidance that the upper specific floor will not be serviced. When the elevator car other than the car destined for the lower specific floor stops in response to a downward call, the lower specific floor will be serviced by the display device (display device 3 in the car, announcement device 4 in the car) provided in The frequency of elevator use by passengers going to the upper specific floor and passengers going to the lower specific floor in the past in the case where the information indicating not to do is given by the display device in the car (display device 3 in the car, announcement device 4 in the car) Are detected and stored for each floor, and if automatic setting is specified, the number of up calls for floors whose usage frequency to the upper specific floor exceeds the reference value The guide display operation is automatically permitted and executed, and conversely, the guide display operation is automatically prohibited for an upcall of a floor whose usage frequency is equal to or lower than a reference value. Is. Also, for downward calls on the floors where the frequency of use to the lower specific floor exceeds the standard value, the guidance display operation is automatically permitted and executed, and conversely, the frequency of use is below the standard value. The guidance display operation is automatically prohibited for the downlink call of the floor.

Therefore, a predetermined guide display indicating that the car is not a specific car is displayed for the elevator cars other than the specific car according to the usage state of the elevator, so that the administrator himself sets the validity / invalidity of the guide display operation. No longer needed
The burden on the administrator can be reduced. In addition, since the guide display operation is automatically enabled / disabled for each floor, even if there is a bias in the frequency of use on the upper specific floor or the lower specific floor, there are many passengers who go to the specific floor. On the floor, the effect of the guide display operation can be sufficiently exerted, and at the same time, on the floor with few passengers going to a specific floor, it is possible to reduce the feeling that passengers going to the common floor feel noisy or annoying. . If there is no bias between the floors regarding the frequency of use to the upper specific floor or the lower specific floor, it is necessary to control the validity / invalidity of the guidance display operation for the entire uplink or downlink for each specific floor. In this case, the same effect can be sufficiently obtained.

Furthermore, in the elevator group management system of this embodiment, the in-car display device 3 and the in-car announcement device 4 (guidance display means) and the display command means 7 are also provided.
In addition to D, the detection means 9D, and the data collection means 9E, an input device 11A (input means) of the terminal device 11 for setting the validity / invalidity of the operation of the display command means 7D by an external operation,
The display device 11B of the terminal device 11 for displaying the operation instruction regarding the valid / invalid setting of the operation of the display command means 7D.
(Display means), a display command for displaying that it is better to disable the operation of the display command means 7D when the frequency of use by the data collecting means 9E is below a reference value, or the frequency of use is a reference. Determination of outputting at least one of display commands for displaying that it is better to validate the operation of the display command unit 7D when the value is exceeded to the display device 11B (display unit) And means 9F.

That is, the elevator group management system of the present embodiment enables the guide display operation to be performed for each specific floor in order to enable the operator to manually select whether the guide display operation is valid or invalid. An input device 11A (input means) capable of setting validity / invalidity for each floor, and a display device 11B for displaying operation instructions for each floor regarding the setting of validity / invalidity of the guidance display operation for each specific floor. (Display means) is provided, and when manual selection is specified, the above guidance display operation is enabled for an upcall of a floor whose usage frequency to the upper specific floor exceeds the reference value. A display indicating that it is better is displayed on the display device 11B, and conversely, a display indicating that it is better to invalidate the guidance display operation for an upcall of a floor whose usage frequency is equal to or lower than a reference value. To be displayed on the display device 11B. That. In addition, for downward calls on the floors where the frequency of use to the lower specific floor exceeds the standard value, a message indicating that the guidance display operation should be enabled is displayed, and conversely the frequency of use is the standard. For the downward call of the floor below the value, it is displayed that the guidance display operation should be invalidated.

Therefore, according to the usage state of the elevator, an instruction as to whether or not the guide display operation is not performed for the elevator car other than the specific car is displayed. Therefore, the administrator manually selects the guide display operation. Even in such a case, it becomes easy to judge the switching timing of the guide display operation, and the burden on the administrator can be reduced. In addition, the validity / invalidity of the guidance display operation is displayed for each floor, and the usage frequency of the specific floor is also displayed for each floor. Even if there is a gap between the floors, the manager can more flexibly determine whether the floor is valid or invalid based on this information. In addition, in the case of a building where there is no bias between floors regarding the frequency of use to the upper specific floor or the lower specific floor, or in the case of a time period, the guidance display operation for the entire uplink call or the entire downlink call is performed for each specific floor. It can be configured to display enable / disable,
Also in this case, the same effect is sufficiently obtained.

By the way, in the first embodiment, for a hall call in the direction toward the specific floor, the assigned evaluation value of the car destined for the specific floor is corrected to be small according to the priority, and the car destined for the specific floor is changed to another elevator car. Although it has been made easier to assign, the method for preferentially assigning the above-mentioned specific floor car is not limited to such a method of correcting the evaluation value. For example, for a hall call directed to a specific floor (actually, it is better to limit the floor calls to the floor where there are many passengers to the particular floor) It also includes a method of selecting and allocating. Further, although the allocation priority is set to a constant value irrespective of the usage frequency of the specific floor on each floor, the allocation priority may be set according to the usage frequency. By doing so, it is possible to perform continuous control according to the frequency of use of the specific floor, instead of the two steps of permitting / prohibiting the allocation priority operation. Also, by setting the priority for each floor to a very large value, it is possible to configure such that a car destined for a specific floor is always assigned.

In the first embodiment, the indicator for displaying the service floor to the passengers going to the specific floor, that is, the in-car display device 3 and the in-car announcement device 4 is provided in the car. Equipment may be provided at the elevator hall.

Further, in the first embodiment described above, it is necessary to determine whether the priority allocation operation to the specific floor and the guidance display operation for passengers going to the specific floor are valid / ineffective according to the frequency of use of the specific floor. I used the reference value common to both operations,
It is also possible to separately provide a reference value for determining the priority allocation operation to the specific floor and a reference value for determining the guidance display operation for passengers going to the specific floor, and to determine whether the operation is valid or invalid.

<Second Embodiment> FIGS. 1 and 11 to 15 show a second embodiment of the present invention. Also in this second embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, Unit a, which services the first to sixth floors, the B2 floor, the B1 floor, and the 1st to 5th floors.
It is assumed that there are two elevators of Unit b that serve up to the floor.

The recommended value of the priority to be used is set, and the recommended value is set to the terminal device 11.
It is a priority recommendation means to be displayed on the display device 11B.

The terminal device 11 in FIG. 11 is connected to the group management device 9, and the input device 11A sets the priority allocation operation by the specific car priority means 9C to "automatic selection" or "manual selection". And the priority setting of the above priority allocation operation when "manual selection" is specified,
Each can be entered using the keyboard. Further, the display device 11B is configured to display an operation instruction regarding the setting of the priority on a CRT or the like when the priority allocation operation is designated as "manual selection".

FIG. 14 is a diagram showing the relationship between the usage frequency and the priority, and FIG. 15 is a diagram showing a display example displayed on the display device 11B. In addition,
The flow chart showing the procedure of the detection program 50 and the data collection program 70 in the second embodiment uses FIGS. 4 and 5 of the first embodiment as they are.

Next, the operation of the second embodiment will be described.
First, the operation of the control program will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. FIG. 12 is a flowchart showing a control program executed by the elevator group management system according to the second embodiment of the present invention.

In the control program of FIG. 12, first,
In the detection program of step S50, passengers using the upper specific floor and the lower specific floor are detected by floor and direction. This procedure is the same as that described with reference to FIG. 4 of the first embodiment, and therefore its description is omitted here. Then, after detecting the passengers on the upper specific floor and the lower specific floor in step S50, the data collection program in the next step 70 uses the above detection result for each time zone (one hour is 24 times a day). The frequency of use is counted, and the weighted average is calculated with the frequency of use in the same time period in the past, and the result is stored as a new frequency of use. Since this procedure is also the same as that described in the first embodiment with reference to FIG. 5, the description thereof is omitted here. After this, the hall number n = 1 by the series of processes from step S89.
For each "elevator landing" corresponding to 14 to 14, the priority setting program of step S140 and step S15
The processing of the priority recommendation program of 0 is executed.

First, in the priority setting program of step S140, the priority allocation operation to the specific car is "automatic selection".
The average value H (k, n) of the above-mentioned use frequencies (k = 1, ..., 24, n = 1, ..., 14)
For the priority setting of the priority allocation operation based on, and the case where the above priority allocation operation is designated as "manual selection",
The priority settings input by the terminal device 11 are set for each "elevator hall". That is, step S
At 141, the average value H (k, n) of the usage frequencies in the “elevator hall” n of the current time zone k is taken out as x, and this is used at step S142 by the conversion function F (x) to perform “automatic selection”. To the priority P (n). Priority P
The conversion function F (x) used for conversion into (n) is predetermined as shown in the table of FIG. FIG. 14 is a correspondence diagram showing the relationship between the use frequency and the priority by the elevator group management system according to the second embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 14, for example, the priority F when the usage frequency x is 4 (times)
(X) becomes 0, and the priority F (x) becomes 230 when the usage frequency x is 15 (times). Then, in the next step S143, the priority value input from the keyboard of the input device 11A is set to the priority DQ for "manual selection".
Set as (n).

Thereafter, in the priority recommendation program of the next step S150, when the priority allocation operation to the specific car is designated as "manual selection", the priority setting program 140 is used for "automatic selection". The setting result of is displayed on the display device 11B as a recommended value to the administrator. That is, in step S151, it is checked whether or not the priority allocation operation is designated as "manual selection" by the input device 11A, and if it is designated as "manual selection" (selection signal ASW =
If it is "0"), the process proceeds to step S152,
Here, a signal for instructing to set the recommended value of the priority in the priority allocation operation of the "elevator hall" n, that is, the recommended value signal PR (n), and further used as reference data for the judgment of the manager The usage frequency data HN (n) is set and output to the display device 11B of the terminal device 11. The recommended value signal PR (n) sets the priority P (n) for "automatic selection" set in step S142 of the priority setting program in step S140. Where a
“Elevator hall” where hall calls are not common between Units No. and b, that is, ascending hall for B2 floor (n = 1), ascending hall for B1 floor (n = 2), ascending hall for 5th floor (n =)
5), 6th floor down hall (n = 7), 1st floor down hall (n = 13), and B1 floor down hall (n = 1)
For 4), the recommended value signal PR (n) and the usage frequency data HN (n) are always set to "0".

For example, the priority allocation operation is "manual selection".
When specified as, the usage frequency H of the current time zone k in the uphill halls (n = 3 to 6) of the first to fourth floors
(K, n) are 10 (times), 2 (times), and 4 respectively
(Time) and 15 (time), the current priority setting value DQ
(N) is 50, 150, 150, 50, respectively, and the down halls on the 5th floor to the 2nd floor (n = 9 to 12)
The usage frequency H (k, n) of the current time zone k in is 20 (times), 12 (times), 7 (times), and 3 (times), respectively,
The set values DQ (n) of the current priority are 150 and 1, respectively.
If it is 50, 50, 50, the display device 11
On the CRT screen of B, a display like the display example 161 of FIG. 15 is displayed. FIG. 15 is an explanatory diagram showing a display example of operation instructions by the elevator group management system according to the second embodiment of the present invention.

In the display example 161, the priority allocation operation for passengers going to the upper specific floor (roof floor = 6th floor) is as follows: "The priority for the first floor is set to" 50 ". It is displayed that "the setting value is reasonable even if judged from the frequency of use", and "the priority for the second and third floors is set to" 150 ". It is better to set it to "0" so that the priority allocation operation does not actually work. "In addition, the priority for the fourth floor is set to" 50 ",
This is displayed based on the judgment of the frequency of use, "230" is better to set to a larger value. " A similar display is made for the priority allocation operation for passengers going to the basement.

As described above, in the control program of FIG. 12, the frequency of use of the specific floor is detected, and the priority of the priority allocation operation to the specific floor is automatically set based on the detection frequency. Present the administrator with recommendations regarding priority settings.

Next, the hall call allocating operation will be described with reference to the flowchart showing the procedure of the allocating processing program in FIG. FIG. 13 is a flow chart showing an allocation processing program by the elevator group management system according to the second embodiment of the present invention.

In the allocation processing program of FIG. 13, first, in step S231, it is determined whether or not a hall call is newly registered. If no new hall call is registered, this allocation processing program is immediately exited, but if it is detected that a new hall call is registered, step 2
32 and the waiting time evaluation values Wa and Wb when the new hall call c is provisionally assigned to each elevator car in step S233.
Are calculated respectively. The calculation method of the waiting time evaluation values Wa and Wb is exactly the same as that of FIG. 6 of the first embodiment, and therefore the detailed description is omitted here.

As described above, the waiting time evaluation values Wa and W
When each b is obtained, next, in the specific car priority program of step S234, the waiting time evaluation values Wa and Wb are set so that the elevator car that can reach the specific floor is preferentially assigned to the hall call in the direction toward the specific floor. Correct,
Comprehensive evaluation values Ea and Eb are calculated respectively. First, in step S251, it is determined whether the new hall call c is an up call or a down call. When the new hall call c is an up call,
In the next step S252, it is determined whether or not the priority allocation operation is designated as "automatic selection" by the terminal device 11. "Automatic selection" is specified (selection signal ASW =
"1"), steps S252 to S25
4, the priority evaluation value W of Unit a is assigned in order to preferentially allocate Unit a that can go to the upper specific floor.
The overall evaluation value Ea is obtained by subtracting the priority P (c) for "automatic selection" from a. On the other hand, the waiting time evaluation value Wb is set as it is as the overall evaluation value Eb of the No. b machine. Further, when it is detected in step S252 that "manual selection" is designated (selection signal ASW = "0") by the terminal device 11, the process proceeds to the next step S253, and this time, the waiting time evaluation value Wa of the machine a. To DQ (c) for "manual selection"
To obtain the total evaluation value Ea. On the other hand, the waiting time evaluation value Wb is set as it is as the overall evaluation value Eb of the No. b machine.
It is almost the same when the new hall call c is a downlink call, and it is assumed that "automatic selection" is specified, and in step S257, the priority P for "automatic selection" is calculated from the waiting time evaluation value Wb of the car b.
The total evaluation value Eb is obtained by subtracting (c). On the other hand, the waiting time evaluation value Wa is set as it is as the overall evaluation value Ea of the No. a machine. When "manual selection" is designated, the priority DQ (c) for "manual selection" is subtracted from the waiting time evaluation value Wb of the car No. b in step S256 to calculate the total evaluation value Eb.
Ask for. On the other hand, the waiting time evaluation value Wa is set as it is as the overall evaluation value Ea of the No. a machine.

Through this series of processing, the total evaluation value Ea
And Eb are calculated, next, in step S241, the comprehensive evaluation values Ea and Eb are compared. If Ea> Eb, in step S242, the car with the smaller overall evaluation value, unit b, is selected as the allocation car, and the allocation command for the hall call c is output to the car control device 8 for unit b. If Ea ≦ Eb, in step S243, the car with the smaller overall evaluation value, car No. a, is selected as the allocation car, and the allocation command for the hall call c is output to the car control device 7 for car No. a.

Thus, the priority P (c) for "automatic selection" by the priority setting program of step S140,
Alternatively, the priority D for "manual selection" by the terminal device 11
Depending on Q (c), the priority of the priority allocation operation for the car for the upper specific floor (the unit a) and the car for the lower specific floor (the unit b) is controlled.

As described above, the elevator group management system according to the present embodiment provides the evaluation values for each hall call on the common floor where a plurality of elevator cars can commonly serve and the specific floor where only a specific elevator car can service the elevator car. An assigning means 9B that calculates each time and selects an elevator car having a small evaluation value as an assigned car, and, when allocating a landing call in the direction toward the specific floor, an evaluation value of the specific car other than the specific car Compared with the above, a specific car priority means 9C for correcting so as to be relatively smaller by an amount corresponding to a preset priority, and a detection means 9D for detecting the elevator use by passengers going to the specific floor,
A data collection unit 9E that counts the detection results of the detection unit 9D, calculates the usage frequency based on the count, and stores the usage frequency;
The higher the frequency of use by the data collection means 9E,
And a priority setting means 9H for setting the priority of the specific car to a large value for the hall call in the direction toward the specific floor.

That is, the elevator group management system of the present embodiment makes the evaluation value of the car destined for the upper specific floor smaller than the evaluation values of the other elevator cars by the amount corresponding to the priority for an upstream call. The upper specific car is assigned preferentially, and for downward calls, the evaluation value of the lower specific car is corrected to be smaller than other elevator cars by the amount corresponding to the priority. In the case where cars for lower specific floors are preferentially assigned, the above-mentioned priority is set for each floor corresponding to a hall call (uplink call, downlink call), and the above upper specific floors in the past are set. For each floor, the frequency of elevator use by passengers going to the lower floor and passengers going to lower specific floors is detected and stored, and if automatic setting is specified, the floor is sorted according to the floor usage frequency. Priority automatically It is intended to be set. In other words, the floor-based priority is automatically set to a larger value as the floor is used more frequently.

Therefore, since the implementation ratio of the priority allocation operation is appropriately set according to the usage state of the elevator, it is not necessary for the administrator to set the priority of the priority allocation operation, and the burden on the administrator is reduced. it can. Also, since the priority is automatically set for each floor, even if there is a bias between floors regarding the frequency of use for the upper specific floor and the lower specific floor, it is possible to select a floor that has many passengers going to the specific floor. On the other hand, the effect of the above-mentioned priority allocation can be sufficiently exerted, and at the same time, it is possible to prevent the service (waiting time) of passengers going to the common floor from deteriorating for the floor having few passengers going to the specific floor. If there is no bias between the floors regarding the frequency of use for the upper specific floor and the lower specific floor, it is configured to automatically set a common priority for all uplink calls or downlink calls for each specific floor. It suffices to do so, and even in this case, the same effect is sufficiently obtained.

Further, in the elevator group management system of this embodiment, in addition to the assigning means 9B, the specific car priority means 9C, the detecting means 9D and the data collecting means 9E, the priority levels used by the specific car priority means 9C are set. An input device 11A (input means) of the terminal device 11 which is set by an external operation, a display device 11B (display means) of the terminal device 11 which displays an operation instruction relating to the setting of the priority, and the data collecting means 9
As the frequency of use by E increases, the recommended value of the priority for the hall call in the direction toward the specific floor is set to a larger value, and a display command for displaying the recommended value on the display device 11B (display means) is output. The priority recommendation means 9J is provided.

That is, in the elevator group management system according to the present embodiment, in order to manually set the priority of the priority allocation operation at the discretion of the manager, the priority for each floor is set for each specific floor. Input device 1 that can set each
1A (input device) and a display device 11B (display means) for displaying operation instructions regarding the setting of the priority for each floor for each specific floor, and when manual setting is designated, The recommended value of the priority for each floor is calculated according to the usage frequency for each floor, and the recommended value for each floor is displayed on the display device 11B (display means). That is, the recommended value of the priority for each floor is set to a larger value and displayed as the floor having the higher usage frequency.

Therefore, since the instruction for the implementation ratio of the priority allocation operation is accurately displayed according to the usage state of the elevator, even when the administrator manually sets the priority, the priority allocation operation is performed. It becomes easy to determine the setting value of the priority of, and the burden on the administrator can be reduced.
In addition, the recommended value of priority for each floor is displayed, and the usage frequency of the above specific floors is also displayed for each floor, so there is a bias between floors regarding the usage frequency of upper specific floors and lower specific floors. Even if there is, the administrator can more flexibly judge the setting of the priority for each floor based on this information. In addition, in the case of a building where there is no bias between floors regarding the frequency of use to the upper specific floor or the lower specific floor, or in the case of a time zone, the priority allocation operation for the entire uplink call or the entire downlink call is performed for each specific floor. It suffices if the configuration is such that the recommended value of the priority is displayed, and even in this case, the same effect is sufficiently exerted.

By the way, in the first and second embodiments described above, in order to detect a passenger destined for the lower specific floor (passenger destined for the upper specific floor), the lower specific floor bound vehicle (upper specific floor bound vehicle) makes a downlink call. When responding to (uplink), it was detected that the car call of the lower specific floor (upper specific floor) was registered at that floor, and the number of times was counted. According to this detection method, there is an advantage that the relationship between the boarding floor and the exiting floor can be accurately grasped. However, the method of detecting elevator use by passengers going to a specific floor is not limited to these examples. For example, the following detection methods (a) to (d) are possible, and all of them can be easily realized.

(A) When a car call on a specific floor is registered in response to a hall call, the number of people boarding from that floor is detected by an increase / decrease in the output of a weighing device provided on the car floor, and boarding is performed based on these. The relationship between the floor and the getting-off floor is estimated, and the usage frequency of the specific floor is detected for each floor.

(B) Detecting the floor of the hall call that responded on the way to reach the specific floor and the number of people who got off when stopping at the specific floor, and estimated the relationship between the boarding floor and the getting-off floor based on these At the same time, the frequency of use of the specific floor is detected for each floor. For example, when six passengers are detected when arriving at the rooftop floor (sixth floor), if passengers answering an upcall on the second and third floors on the way, there are three passengers from the second floor to the sixth floor. People, 3rd to 6th
It is estimated that there are three passengers on the floor.

(C) When a car not bound for a specific floor answers a hall call, if it is detected that there is no passenger on board, it is judged that the passenger who registered the hall call is a passenger bound for a particular floor, and Detect elevator use by passengers by floor.

(D) The number of car calls on the specific floor or the number of passengers getting off the vehicle is counted for each time period, and the degree of elevator use by passengers heading to the specific floor is estimated based on these. In this case, it is difficult to estimate the relationship between the specific floor and the boarding floor from the above data, but when applying to a building where elevator use to the specific floor is less biased from floor to floor, this is a particular problem. I won't.

In the first and second embodiments, the number of times of use counted every hour is weighted and averaged with the number of times of use obtained in the same time zone of the past several days, and this is calculated. Although calculated as the usage frequency, the calculation method of the usage frequency used for the determination is not limited to this. For example, in order to make a comprehensive determination, a method of counting the number of times of use on a daily basis,
Use a method that divides the time zone into 30 or 15 minutes and uses relatively new data (for example, the past 30 minutes or 10 minutes from the present time) without using old data in the past. A method of obtaining the usage frequency can be considered, but both can be easily realized.

Moreover, if the judgment is made only based on the number of times of use, there is a problem that the judgment result is biased toward the side not performing the priority allocation and the side not performing the guidance operation in the time zone of low traffic volume. Therefore, in order to be able to make a flexible decision according to the traffic volume, for example, a method of calculating the usage frequency (usage ratio) by the ratio of the number of car calls on a specific floor to the total number of car calls on all floors, A method of calculating the usage frequency (usage ratio) based on the ratio of the number of people getting off on a specific floor to the number of people getting off on a floor is conceivable, but both can be easily realized.

Furthermore, instead of fixing the determination reference value, when the traffic volume (for example, the total value of the number of passengers getting off and the total number of car calls, etc.) is large, the above reference value is set to a large value or the reverse value is set. It is also possible to make the reference value variable, such as setting the reference value to be small when the traffic volume is small, so that a flexible judgment according to the traffic volume can be made.

Further, in the above-mentioned first and second embodiments, the value of the second judgment reference value when automatically changing from the "permitted" state to the "prohibited" state is changed from the "prohibited" state to the "permitted" state. By setting the value smaller than the first determination reference value in the case of automatically changing to, the hunting phenomenon near the determination reference value is prevented and the determination result is stabilized. However, it is not necessary to make these two judgment reference values different,
Even if the two judgment reference values are the same, the effect of the present invention can be sufficiently obtained.

In each of the first and second embodiments described above, the terminal device 11 is provided in the manager's room where the manager is located, but the location of the terminal device is not limited to the manager's room. . For example, it may be installed in an elevator machine room, or by using a telephone line, it may be installed in any place inside or outside a building (maintenance center, etc.) to communicate with the group management device 9. It will be possible. In addition, the terminal device 11
Need not be an expensive device using a personal computer, but may be a display device using an input device including a plurality of switches and a simple display element such as a lamp or LED.

Furthermore, in each of the first and second embodiments described above, the upper specific floor (roof floor) and the lower specific floor (basement floor) have been described, but depending on the building, only a specific elevator car can be serviced. There may be floors with uneven service on the floor. The present invention can also be applied to such a non-uniform floor. Besides, the case where two elevator cars are arranged is shown, but it is obvious that the present invention can be applied to a group management elevator having three or more cars.
