Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To establish an efficient operation of an elevator by controlling so that direct run to the specified floor is made while any input from a stop request button is ignored in case the limit load is exceeded. SOLUTION: The limit load is registered in a database (Step 10). When the operation of an elevator is started (Step 11), first the passengers and goods are loaded (Step 12). The position of a select button is checked (Step 13), and the load weight is sensed by a weight sensor (Step 14), and the position of a request button is checked (Step 15), and the obtained data is subjected as input data to a processing (Step 16). The limit load is acquired (Step 17), and judgement is made whether the limit load is exceeded (Step 18), and if yes, a request is passed to a control part (Step 19) so as to run directly to the specified floor. When operation is made to the specified floor (Step 20), judgement is made whether any select to the floor on the way has existed (Step 21), and if Yes, proceed to Step 13 is made, and if No, return to Step 12 is made.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to an elevator,
In particular, it relates to an elevator through function.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Elevators are capable of transporting cargo to upper and lower floors in a building having a plurality of floors, and are capable of moving up and down to a designated floor selected by a mounted (stop floor) selection button and stopping. I do. In addition, each floor is up and down (up and down)
A request button is provided to enable loading of cargo from that floor.

[0003] Conventionally, when a load exceeding the maximum load capacity of an elevator is loaded, a buzzer indicating an excess weight sounds inside the elevator, or "full" is displayed to a person waiting for the elevator. There was a function, but the function beyond this was insufficient.

Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open Publication No. 63-35775 proposes a method of providing a sensor for detecting passenger weight and displaying the number of additional passengers.

Japanese Utility Model Application Laid-Open No. Sho 63-142368 proposes a method of detecting and displaying the remaining loadable weight.

[0006]

Conventionally, elevators have been operated in accordance with the requirements of both an in-flight selection button and request buttons on each floor. However, it is inefficient to operate the elevator based solely on button selection, even though no more loading is possible.

[0007] The proposal described in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open Publication No. 63-35775 or Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open Publication No. 63-142368 shows how many people can be loaded on an elevator or how much remaining weight can be loaded, so that each floor is waiting. The user of the elevator was allowed to determine the selection of the request button, and the more efficient operation of the elevator was expected.

[0008] All of these proposals are mainly for users waiting for elevators at each floor rather than users inside the elevators. However, the judgment of the user waiting for the elevator on each floor alone is not sufficient for efficient operation of the elevator.

An object of the present invention is to provide an elevator that can operate efficiently.

[0010]

According to the present invention, there is provided a weight sensor for detecting a weight loaded in a main body of the present invention, and a stop floor selection button for requesting a stop at a designated floor. The elevator controlled by an input from the provided stop request button has a limit amount registration unit in which the limit amount is registered in advance, and when the loaded weight exceeds the limit amount registered in the limit amount registration unit. And a through control means for ignoring an input from the stop request button and controlling to go straight to the designated floor.

The operation of the present invention is as follows. Give priority to the selection button installed in the elevator, and if the floor where the stop was requested is not selected by the selection button, judge whether the additional loading is possible from the current loading weight and request if possible Stop at the floor where the was, and if not possible, pass the elevator through that floor and go straight to the designated floor.

[0012]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of an embodiment of an elevator according to the present invention. 1, an elevator (system) according to the present invention includes a weight sensor 2 mounted on an elevator body 1, a stop floor selection button 4 also mounted on the elevator body 1, a stop request button 5 provided on each floor, and a display unit. 8, a database 6 in which limit values such as a limited load and a limited number of persons for the elevator body 1 are registered, an elevator control unit 7 for operating and controlling the elevator body 1, a stop floor selection button 4, a stop request button 5, and a weight sensor 2. ,
It comprises an input data processing unit 3 which processes input data such as a limit amount registered in a database 6 of the elevator main body 1 and gives it to an elevator control unit 7.

In the operation of the embodiment of the present invention, as shown in the flow chart of the input data processing section 3 in FIGS. 2 and 3, before the elevator system is operated in FIG. (Step 10). When the operation of the elevator system is started (step 11), first, the cargo is loaded (step 12). The selection status of the selection button 4 in the elevator body 1 is recognized (step 13), the load weight is recognized by the weight sensor 2 (step 14), and the selection status of the request button 5 on each floor is recognized (step 15). The process is performed using the data of (1) as input data (step 16).

The load limit weight and the load limit person (limit amount) are obtained from the database 6 (step 17), and it is determined whether the current load weight exceeds the limit amount (step 18). If it exceeds (YES), it passes through (through the floor) regardless of the request with the request button 5 on the floor halfway to the floor (designated floor) selected by the selection button 4 in the elevator body 1. Control unit 7)
(Step 19). When the elevator main body 1 is operated to the designated floor (step 20), it is determined whether or not an intermediate floor has been selected before arrival at the designated floor (step 21). If YES, go to step 13; NO
If so, the process returns to step 12.

If the determination in step 18 is NO (the mounting weight does not exceed the limit amount) (), the control unit 7 is requested to stop at the floor requested on the way through FIG. Then, the vehicle is driven to the floor designated by the selection button 4 or the floor requested to be stopped by the request button 5 (step 23). Then, the process returns to step 12 through () in FIG.

When the through control is performed, the input data processing unit 3 displays "full" or "passing" on the display unit 8 of the floor for the floor where the stop request by the stop request button 5 is ignored. .

[0018]

As described above, according to the present invention, when the currently installed weight of the elevator body exceeds the limit, the stop request from the stop request button on the middle floor is ignored, and the stop inside the elevator body is stopped. It is possible to go straight (through control) from the floor selection button to the designated floor selected, which has the effect of increasing the efficiency of operation when the elevator is congested.
