Further, the car call registration switch 9 installed in the car of each local elevator 4 registers the destination floor of the 40th floor to the 45th floor with respect to the computer 5. In addition, a car call registration switch 9 is installed in the car of each local elevator 4.
Along with the transfer registration switch 9a,
From this transfer registration switch 9a to the Sky Lobby floor 4
Registration is made beforehand to transfer to shuttle elevator 3 on the 0th floor.

Further, with respect to the computer 5, the hall call registration switch 10 installed in the shuttle elevator halls on the 1st and 40th floors performs hall call registration of the shuttle elevator 3. The hall call registration switch 11 installed in the hall for local elevators on each of the 40th to 45th floors performs hall call registration of the local elevator 4.

The elevator control circuit 12 monitors various conditions of each shuttle elevator 3 and each local elevator 4, for example, the load in the elevator car, the running state, etc., inputs them to the input register 6 of the computer 5, and calculates them by the computer 5. The control signal which is processed and output from the output register 7 is received to control the elevators 3 and 4. The call registration circuit 13 registers a car call and a hall call for the shuttle elevator 3 and the local elevator 4 based on the signal from the output register 7 of the computer 5.

Next, the operation of the elevator control device having the above configuration will be described. FIG. 2 is a flow chart of the control operation relating to the transit control of the elevator control apparatus of this embodiment, which will be described with reference to this.

The user presses the hall call registration switch 10 in the base hall 1 to register the call. Based on the group management control calculation of the computer 5, the shuttle elevator 3 of the optimum machine is assigned to the call and responds to the call. Go (Step M
1, M3).

Next, when the user boarding the shuttle elevator 3 needs the transit, the transit registration switch 8a is operated, and a process for judging this is performed (step M4). Here, the transfer registration switch 8
If a is not operated, the process proceeds to step M6, and thereafter, the normal operation is performed depending on whether or not the car call registration switch 8 is operated (steps M6, M7, M12).

In the judgment processing of step M4, if the transit registration switch 8a is operated, the 40th floor to 4th floor
The operation state of each unit of the local elevator 4 having the service zone on the 5th floor, for example, the load in the car, the operation direction, etc. are monitored (M5), and the processes of the following steps M8 and M9 are performed.

In step M8, the computer 5 determines the call registration status of the shuttle elevator 3 servicing between the first floor, which is the base hall 1, and the 40th floor, which is the sky lobby floor 2, and the shuttle elevator 3 is on the 40th floor. Estimated arrival time T1 to arrive at Sky Lobby floor 2 and time T2 required for an elevator user to walk from Sky Elevator Floor 2 from Shuttle Elevator 3 to the elevator hall of Local Elevator 4 (this time is A predetermined fixed value) is calculated to obtain the total time T (= T1 + T2). Continued Step M
At 9, the car load W is detected from the operation state information of the shuttle elevator 3 of the own machine.

Then, in the next step M10, the operation status information of each unit of the local elevator 4 obtained in the previous step M5 and the transit time T obtained in step M8.
And, using the load W obtained in step M9 as a parameter, the elevator No. optimum for connecting at the sky lobby floor 2 of the local elevators 4 is determined. Further, when there are many users of the shuttle elevator 3 and it is determined that the plurality of local elevators 4 need to be allocated, the allocation is performed to the plurality of local elevators 4. Then, the assigned local elevator 4 processes this assignment as a hall call from the local elevator hall on the sky lobby floor 2, and makes the sky lobby floor 2 which is the assigned floor respond.

In the actual group management control, this optimum number allocation process uses a larger number of parameters, such as the hall call allocation status of each local elevator, the car call registration status, the traveling direction, etc. In order to simplify the explanation, only the transit time T and the load W are used as parameters. Therefore, in the assignment calculation of the optimum number in the actual group management control, these T and W parameters are added in addition to the parameter group used conventionally.

Then, when the allocation process of the optimum machine is completed,
After arriving at the sky lobby floor 2, the passengers in the shuttle elevator 3 can get off the shuttle elevator 3 and walk to the elevator hall of the local elevator 4 to move to the assigned elevator when they arrive at the elevator hall. The local elevator 4 is on standby and can immediately get on board (step M11). After boarding the local elevator 4, the car call registration switch 9 performs car call registration on the destination floor, as in the normal elevator, whereby normal operation is performed (step M12).

In this way, by performing the transit registration in the shuttle elevator 3, it is possible to perform the assignment process of the optimum number of the local elevators 4 to be transited in advance, and the transit user from the shuttle elevator 3 to the local elevator 4 is in the sky. The waiting time for connecting flights on the lobby floor can be shortened and the service can be improved.

In addition, in the above-mentioned calculation of allocation of the optimum number of local elevators 4, the 40th to 4th floors, which are service zones, are used.
There are many users on the 5th floor, whichever local elevator 4
If it is also busy, the most suitable one of them will be assigned to Sky Lobby Level 2, so depending on the case, even if the transit passenger arrives at the elevator hall of the local elevator, wait in the hall until the assigned number arrives. There are things that must be done. However, even in that case, it is the same as registering the hall call for this local elevator from the shuttle elevator 3, so after arriving at the Sky Lobby floor 2 and moving to the hall of the local elevator 4 on that floor Compared to the case where the hall call registration switch 11 is operated to register the hall call, the waiting time can be shortened, and the service is improved as a whole.

Next, the operation when transferring from the local elevator 4 to the shuttle elevator 3 will be described.
Also in this case, the flow chart of FIG. 2 can be used as it is, the hall call of the local elevator 4 is performed, and the car in response to the call goes to the hall call generation floor to let the user board the car (steps M1 and M3).

Next, when a user boarding the local elevator 4 needs a transfer to the shuttle elevator 3 on the sky lobby floor 2 on the 40th floor, the transfer registration switch 9 installed in the car of the local elevator 4
Since a is operated, a process for judging this is performed (step M4). Here, if the transit registration switch 9a is not operated, the process proceeds to step M6, and thereafter, normal operation is performed depending on whether the car call registration switch 9 is operated (steps M6, M7, M12).

When the transfer registration switch 9a is operated in the determination processing of step M4, the first floor and the 40th floor are detected.
The operation states of the respective units of the shuttle elevator 3 operating directly to and from the floor are monitored (M5), for example, the load in the car, the operation direction, and the like, and the processes of the following steps M8 and M9 are performed.

In step M8, the computer 5 determines the call registration status of the local elevator 4 on which the user is riding, the predicted arrival time T1 until the local elevator 4 arrives at the sky lobby floor 2 on the 40th floor, and the elevator. The total time T (= T1 + T2) is calculated by calculating the time T2 required for the user to walk down from the local elevator 4 to the elevator hall of the shuttle elevator 3 at the sky lobby floor 2 and move. Continued Step M9
Then, the car load W is detected from the operating state information of the local elevator 4 of the own machine.

In the next step M10, the operation status information of each unit of the shuttle elevator 3 obtained in the previous step M5, and the transit time T obtained in step M8
Then, using the load W obtained in step M9 as a parameter, the optimum elevator No. of the shuttle elevators 3 to transfer at the sky lobby floor 2 is determined. When it is determined that there are many users of the local elevators 4 and the plurality of shuttle elevators 3 needs to be allocated, the plurality of shuttle elevators 3 are allocated. Then, the assigned shuttle elevator 3 processes this assignment as a hall call from the shuttle elevator hall on the sky lobby floor 2, and causes the sky lobby floor 2 which is the assigned floor to respond.

Then, when the allocation process of the optimum machine is completed,
After arriving at the Sky Lobby Level 2, the passengers in the local elevator 4 can get off the local elevator 4 and walk to the elevator hall of the shuttle elevator 3 to move to the assigned elevator when they arrive at the elevator hall. The shuttle elevator 3 is on standby and can immediately get on board (step M11). After boarding the shuttle elevator 3, the car call registration switch 8 installed in the car of the shuttle elevator 3 performs the car call registration on the destination floor, so that the normal operation is performed. (Step M12).

In this way, by performing the transit registration in the local elevator 4, it is possible to perform the assignment process of the optimum number of the shuttle elevator 3 to be transited in advance, and the transit user from the local elevator 4 to the shuttle elevator 3 is in the sky. The waiting time for connecting flights on the lobby floor can be shortened and the service can be improved.

In addition, the hall call registration switch 11U installed in each hall of the service floor of the upper floor service elevator U registers the hall call of the upper floor service elevator U.

The elevator control circuit 12 monitors various conditions of each lower-floor service elevator D and each upper-floor service elevator U, such as the load in the elevator car and the running state, and inputs them to the input register 6 of the computer 5, and The control signal output from the output register 7 is calculated by the computer 5, and the elevators D and U are controlled. The call registration circuit 13 registers a car call and a hall call for the lower floor service elevator D and the upper floor service elevator U based on the signal from the output register 7 of the computer 5. The elevator operation circuit 14 is a computer 5
The operation control of each lower floor service elevator D and upper floor service elevator U is performed based on the signal from the output register 7 of the above. The elevator lighting circuit 15 then, based on the signal from the output register 7 of the computer 5, each lower floor service elevator D and upper floor service elevator U.
Lighting control.

Next, the operation of the elevator control device having the above configuration will be described. The operation of the elevator control device of this embodiment is also performed based on the flowchart of FIG.
First, when transferring from the lower-floor service elevator D to the upper-floor service elevator U at the connecting floor, the user presses the hall call registration switch 11D from the hall on one service floor of the lower-floor service elevator D to register the call, and the computer Based on the group management control calculation of No. 5, the lower floor service elevator D of the optimum vehicle is assigned to the call and responds, and goes to the hall call registration floor (steps M1 and M3).

Next, when the user boarding the lower-floor service elevator D needs to transfer to the upper-floor service elevator U, he / she operates the transfer registration switch 9Da, and a process for judging this is performed (step). M4). Here, if the transit registration switch 9Da is not operated, the process proceeds to step M6, and thereafter, the normal operation is performed depending on whether the car call registration switch 9D is operated (steps M6, M7, M12).

When the transfer registration switch 9Da is operated in the determination processing of step M4, the operating state of each unit of the service elevator U on the upper floor, for example, the load in the car, the operating direction, etc. are monitored (M5). Step M

In step M8, the computer 5 determines the call registration status of the lower-floor service elevator D, the estimated arrival time T1 until the lower-floor service elevator D arrives at the transit floor, and the elevator user at the transit floor. The time T2 required to walk from the service elevator D on the lower floor to the elevator hall of the service elevator U on the upper floor is calculated, and the total time T is calculated.
Calculate (= T1 + T2). In the following step M9, the car load W is detected from the operation state information of the service elevator D on the lower floor of the own vehicle.

In the next step M10, the operation state information of each unit of the upper floor service elevator U obtained in the previous step M5, the transit time T obtained in step M8 and the load W obtained in step M9 are calculated. Using the parameters as parameters, the optimum elevator car number for connecting at the transfer floor of the upper floor service elevator U is determined. If there are many users of the lower floor service elevator D and it is determined that a plurality of upper floor service elevators U need to be allocated, the plurality of upper floor service elevators U are allocated. . Then, the assigned upper-floor service elevator U processes this assignment as a hall call from the elevator hall on the connecting floor, and makes it respond to the connecting floor which is the assigned floor.

In the actual group management control, the optimum number allocation process uses a larger number of parameters, such as the hall call allocation status of each elevator, the car call registration status, and the traveling direction. For simplicity of explanation, only the transit time T and the load W are parameters. Therefore, in the assignment calculation of the optimum number in the actual group management control, these T and W parameters are added in addition to the parameter group used conventionally.

Then, when the allocation process of the optimum machine is completed,
The user on the lower-floor service elevator D arrives at the transit floor and then the lower-floor service elevator D
If you get off and walk to the elevator hall of the service elevator U on the upper floor, when you arrive at the elevator hall, the service elevator U on the upper floor of the assigned unit will be waiting and you will be able to board immediately (step M11). After boarding the service elevator U on the upper floor, the car call registration on the destination floor is performed by the car call registration switch 9U as in the case of the normal elevator, whereby the normal operation is performed (step M12).

In this way, by performing the transit registration in the lower floor service elevator D, it is possible to perform the allocation process of the optimum number of the upper floor service elevator U to be transited in advance, and the lower floor service elevator D.

The above-mentioned upper floor service elevator U
In the calculation of allocation of the optimum unit, the number of users in the service zone is large, and if the elevator U of any of the units is busy, the optimum unit of them will be allocated to the transfer floor. Even if the vehicle arrives at the elevator hall of the service elevator U on the upper floor, it may be necessary to wait in the hall until the assigned number arrives. However, even in that case, it is the same as the hall call registration of this upper floor service elevator U from the lower floor service elevator D.
After arriving at the transfer floor and moving to the hall of the service elevator U on the upper floor on that floor, hall call registration switch 1
Compared with the case where 1U is operated to perform hall call registration, the waiting time can be shortened and the service is improved as a whole.

Next, the operation when transferring from the upper floor service elevator U to the lower floor service elevator D will be described. In this case as well, the flowchart of FIG. 2 can be used as it is, and the hall call of the upper-floor service elevator U is called, and the responding car goes to the hall-call generation floor to let the user get into the car (step M1,
M3).

Next, if the user boarding the upper floor service elevator U needs a transfer to the lower floor service elevator D at the transfer floor, the transfer registration switch installed in the car of the upper floor service elevator U. Since 9Ua is operated, a process for judging this is performed (step M4). Here, transfer registration switch 9U
If a is not operated, the process proceeds to step M6, and thereafter, depending on whether the car call registration switch 9U is operated,
Normal operation is performed (steps M6, M7, M12).

When the transfer registration switch 9Ua is operated in the determination processing of step M4, the operating states of the respective units of the lower-floor service elevator D, such as the load in the car and the operating direction, are monitored (M5). Step M
8. Process M8.

In step M8, the computer 5 determines the call registration status of the upper-floor service elevator U on which the user is riding, and the estimated arrival time T1 until the upper-floor service elevator U arrives at the transit floor and the elevator use The total time T (= T1 + T2) required for a person to walk down to the elevator hall of the lower-floor service elevator D from the upper-floor service elevator U at the connecting floor to move is calculated and the total time T (= T1 + T2) is calculated. In the following step M9, the car load W is detected from the operation state information of the service elevator U on the upper floor of the own vehicle.

Then, in the next step M10, the operating state information of each unit of the lower floor service elevator D obtained in the previous step M5, the required transit time T obtained in step M8 and the load W obtained in step M9 are obtained. From the lower floor service elevator D, the optimum elevator car number to transfer at the transfer floor is determined as a parameter. If there are many users of the upper floor service elevator U and it is determined that a plurality of lower floor service elevators D need to be allocated, the plurality of lower floor service elevators D are allocated. . Then, the assigned lower-floor service elevator D processes this assignment as a hall call from the elevator hall on the connecting floor, and makes it respond to the connecting floor which is the assigned floor.

Then, when the process of assigning the optimum machine is completed,
