Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to an improvement in an elevator call registration device using a hall operation panel provided with a destination button at the hall.

Conventionally, in an elevator, a hall call is registered using an up button and a down button provided at the hall, and a car is called by the hall call.

Then, passengers who board the arriving car register their car call using the destination button installed inside the car.

Drive the car to the desired floor.

In this way, with the conventional landing button, it was necessary to operate the button twice, once at each landing and once inside the car. In order to eliminate this double trouble, the method described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 55-80659 provides a destination button similar to that in the car at the landing on the second floor, and a destination button above the above floor. When operated, the up call for the above floor will be registered, and when the destination button below the above floor is operated, the down call for the above floor will be registered, and when the car arrives, it will automatically correspond to the operated destination button. You can now register the car call for the floor you want to use. Therefore, the two passengers can save the trouble of operating the destination button inside the car, which is convenient (2).

However, if the platform on the floor where the destination button is installed (for example, the main floor) becomes extremely crowded with many passengers, the cars become full and some passengers are unable to board the car. Since some passengers may not board the car, the car calls made by the destination buttons operated by the passengers who did not board the car are registered in vain.

Registration of wasteful car calls like this has little effect on elevator operation efficiency, such as waiting time for passengers on other floors, when elevator traffic is not very congested, but it is often not a problem when elevator traffic is very busy. When elevators are crowded, the impact on elevator operation efficiency cannot be ignored.

Therefore, in order to solve this problem, it has been considered to prevent the elevator operation efficiency from decreasing by prohibiting the registration of car calls using the destination button when the platform equipped with the destination button is crowded.

FIGS. 1 to 3 show conventional examples of elevator call registration devices that prohibit the registration of calls using the above-mentioned destination button.

In Figure 1, X and Y are the landing doors of Units 1 and 2, respectively, 2 is the landing area, and (IA) to (5A) are the destination calls corresponding to floors 1 to 5, respectively, common to Units 1 and 2. These are the destination buttons to register, and these are arranged on the hall operation panel On installed in the hall on the third floor.

(1B) to (5B) are the destination buttons (1A) for the 1st to 5th floors, respectively.
) ~ (5A) are built-in destination ship lights, mx), my) that turn on when a destination call for the 1st to 5th floor is registered, respectively.
are car position indicators provided at the landings on the third floor of Cars 1 and 2, respectively.

In Figure 2, 0 is the elevator group control device.

(13A) is a landing call registration circuit that is provided in the group control device a3 and registers the landing calls for each floor (upward calls, down calls, one-way calls); This is a well-known allocation circuit that selects and allocates 2 cars.For example, the time required for each car to respond to a hall call on each floor is calculated predictably, and the car with the minimum time is allocated to the car.

(14X) and (14Y) are the car control devices of No. 1 and No. 2, and (14AX) and (14AY) are provided in the car control devices (14X) and (14Y), respectively, and are used to send the hall call cancellation command signal ( A well-known hall call cancellation circuit that outputs (described later), (14BX), (14BY
) is also a well-known car call registration circuit (f4DX) that registers car calls for each car.

(14DY) is a well-known operation control circuit that controls basic operations such as running and stopping the car in order to make each car respond to the hall call assigned to it.

(14KX) and (14gy) are well-known door control circuits that similarly control the opening and closing of the doors of each car.

Figure 3 shows the details of the circuit corresponding to the 3rd floor of the hall call registration circuit (13A), (301) to (505) in Figure 9.
is a destination call signal that becomes l"aJ when the destination call for the 1st to 5th floors is registered by the 3rd floor hall operation panel aI.

(33U) is an up call signal that becomes rHJ when an up call on the 3rd floor is registered, (3!ID) is a down call signal that becomes "H" when a down call on the 3rd floor is registered, (55U
X) and (55DX) are the up call cancellation command signal and the down call cancellation command signal that become "H" when the No. 1 car cancels the up call and down call on the 3rd floor, and the hall call cancellation circuit (14AX) of the L car. It is set in .

(55UY) and (55DY) are the up call cancellation command signal and the down call cancellation command signal of the second machine. The trowel is a registration restriction judgment circuit consisting of a clock, and when a preset time period (for example, T2: OO to 13:00) comes, it outputs a registration prohibition signal (63a) as [rJ] and calls 2 destinations ahead (
301) to (505) are prevented from being registered.

, (Foundation) - 6th grade is R with memory consisting of 70 flips.
Unless an “H” signal is input to the point, rH is input to the S point.
When the J signal is input, the contents of the memory are set to "H", and when the rHJ signal is input to the R point, the contents of the memory are set to [
, reset to J.

ellJ-f73 is an AND gate, σ4~(c) is O
R gate.

The q frame is a NOT gate.

In the system configured as described above, if we assume that Car No. 1 is on the 1st floor in the upbound direction and Car No. 2 is on the 5th floor in the downbound direction, the landing call canceling circuit (14AX
) and (14AY), the 3rd floor upper 9 call cancellation command signal (
55UX) and (55UY) are both "L", and the 3rd floor descending call cancellation command signal (55DX) and (55DY
) is also "L".

Also, note I on the 3rd floor circuit of the hall call registration circuit (13A).
The contents of J @4-In are all "L" and the 2nd line ahead call signal (301) to (305), uplink call signal (33U)
It is also assumed that the downlink signal (53D) and the downlink signal (53D) are all rLJ.

At this time, a passenger on the third floor pressed the destination button (4) on the hall control panel.
When A) is pressed, the registration prohibition signal (Sea) is rLJ and NOTOR when the time is other than 12:00 to +3:00.
Since the gate ff force is "H", the output of the AND gate σ2 becomes raJ, the contents of the memory gate are set to raJ, and the 4th floor destination call signal (304) becomes rnJ, which is 4 on the 2nd hall operation panel a1. The floor destination light (4B) lights up to notify passengers on the third floor that a destination call has been registered, and at the same time to inform them that the car will be automatically registered as a car call when the car arrives.

On the other hand, since the output of OR gate ff[9 also becomes raJ, the content of memo IJ 6n is set to "H" and the third floor up call signal (33U) also becomes rHJ. Assignment circuit (16B
), it is assumed that the No. 1 car that is expected to be able to respond to the call on the 3rd floor in the shortest time is assigned. When No. 1 departs from the 1st floor, stops in response to the up call from the 3rd floor, and starts opening the door, the 4th floor destination call signal (304) is sent directly to 4 in the first car's call registration circuit (14BX), as is well known. The car call for the fourth floor is automatically registered by inputting it into the car call registration circuit for the floor.

Therefore, when a passenger on the third floor gets into the car of car No. 1, the car call on the fourth floor has already been registered, so the passenger does not need to press the destination button in the car.

When boarding and alighting are completed and the car door begins to close, the 3rd floor single call cancellation command signal (55TJX) becomes [H].
Memo IJ I? via OR gate @ ) and R of (Foundation)
The rHJ signal is input to the 3rd floor up call signal (3
3U) and the 4th floor destination call signal (SO4) are reset to "L", and the 4th floor destination call signal (4B) is also turned off. and 1
After the door of Car No. 1 is closed, it will leave the third floor to answer the call from the fourth floor.

Time when there are a lot of passengers on the 3rd floor (12: Go to 13:
00), if it is possible to register a destination call using the destination button in the same way as usual, as mentioned above, when a car arrives, it will be automatically registered as a car call, which may result in unnecessary car calls.

Therefore, in the above time period, the registration prohibition signal (63a) is
Even if you change to J and press the 4th floor destination button (4A), it is NOT a game)
By preventing the output of AND gate 0 from becoming "H" via ff11, registration of the 4th floor destination call (504) is prohibited and the 1st destination ship light (4B) is not turned on.

On the other hand, the 3rd floor up call signal (33U) is the 4th floor destination button (4
When A) is pressed, raJ is selected as described above, and car No. 1 is selected as the assigned car and is serviced by car No. 1.

However, for the passengers on the third floor, even if they press the destination button, the destination light does not turn on, so they cannot tell whether the boarding call has actually been registered or not.

Therefore, the problem arises in that passengers are left wondering if the second landing control panel is malfunctioning or if the car will respond at all, and make them feel uneasy.

When I'm in a bunker, I don't register the destination number on the 4th floor.

(9) It is conceivable that only the destination ship light (4B) would be turned on to notify passengers that a landing call has been registered, but in this case, the car call on the 4th floor would also be automatically registered. As a result, a problem arises in which the expectations of two passengers are disappointed.

This invention solves the above-mentioned problems, and provides an elevator in which a destination button is provided at the second landing, and a car call can be automatically registered using the destination button as well as a car call. To provide an elevator call registration device that does not confuse passengers even when registration is restricted.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 2, 4, and 5.

Figure 4 corresponds to Figure 1, and Figure 5 corresponds to Figure 3. In Figure 1, (3U) is the up-call registration light installed on hall operation panel 0, and (3D) is also the down-bound call registration light. Call registration light, up call registration light (5U), and down call registration light (5D) Display means that lights up when registration of a call is restricted (
3L).

(10) σ1 is an AND gate, and everything else is constructed the same as in FIGS. 1 and 3.

In the configuration as described above, the registration prohibition signal (63a) becomes rHJ during the time period (12:00 to 13:0Q) when there are a large number of passengers on the 3rd floor. When the destination button (4A) is pressed, the OR gate tt
e and memory 6η, the up call signal (33U) is
The output of the AND gate 61 becomes rnJ, and the up call registration light (3U) on the hall operation panel 00 on the third floor lights up. At this time, of course, the 4th floor destination call signal (5
04) remains at "L", and the 4th floor destination light (4B) remains off. Therefore, when automatic registration of car calls using the destination button is prohibited, the 9-destination boat light will not be turned on, but instead the upbound call registration light (3U) will be turned on to notify passengers that the upbound call will be registered and will be serviced reliably. Passengers on the third floor know that automatic registration of car calls is prohibited, and are prepared to press the destination button inside the car when boarding the car. can wait for the arrival of

(11) The same is true when pressing the destination button (IB) or (2B) in the down direction.

In addition, during the time period (other than 12:00 to 13:00) when automatic registration of car calls using the 1st landing destination button is not prohibited, the registration prohibition signal (63a) is "L", so the output signal of AND gate σl and are both "L", and even if an up call or down call for the 3rd floor is registered, the up call registration light (3U) and down call registration light (3D) will not light up, but 3
-1 whenever a floor stop call or down call is registered
You may make it light up the call registration light (3U) and the down call registration light (3D).

In the above embodiment, the automatic registration of car calls is performed when the car arrives, but the timing of automatic registration of car calls is not limited to this.
As described in Publication No. 10, the destination button may be used to call a destination when assigned to a car.
The timing of automatic registration of car calls does not matter.

In the above embodiment, if the floor of the operated destination button is above the floor where the hall operation panel is installed, an up call (12) is registered, and if it is below, a down call is registered.

We have explained a case where one car is assigned to each up-call and down-call, but the assignment is to one car per landing call (destination call, up-call, and down-call will be grouped together and called like this). The method is not limited to this, but for example, as described in Japanese Patent Publication No. 57-24310 mentioned above.

It goes without saying that the present invention can also be applied to a system that allocates an optimal car for each destination call.

Furthermore, in the above example, a time period when there are a large number of passengers on a specific floor (-3rd floor) is set in advance, and automatic registration of car calls using the landing destination button is prohibited during this time period. Although the above has been described, the restrictive conditions for automatic car call registration are not limited to this.

For example, the number of people who can board the car is predicted, and depending on this predicted value, the automatic registration of car calls using the landing button is prohibited, or the number of car calls that can be registered is limited. The present invention can also be applied to a method in which automatic registration of car calls is restricted in accordance with the number of waiting customers detected by the detection device (13). Furthermore, a method may be adopted in which automatic registration of car calls is restricted depending on the up direction and down direction.

Furthermore, in the above embodiment, when the display means (3L) is prohibited from registering a car call, the up call registration light (6U) is displayed.
and the down call registration light (3D) are lit, but the invention is not limited to these, and any means that indicates that car call registration is prohibited can achieve the intended purpose. It is something.

Furthermore, the number of floors of a building is not limited to five, and the number of cars is not limited to two.

As described above, this invention provides a hall operation panel in the hall, which is provided with a destination button corresponding to the case of car service, and which generates a signal for registering a car call using this destination button, and responds to the traffic condition of the elevator. In the elevator call registration device that restricts the registration of car calls, a display means (14) is provided to indicate that registration of car calls is restricted, which confuses elevator users. This has the effect that there is no problem.
