Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Technical Field of the Invention] The present invention relates to an elevator group control device that provides service in response to a hall call, in response to a call at a destination floor, and whether or not a plurality of cars have fallen over.

[Prior art]

Usually, the elevator is reinstalled for visitors'i1. All the landing calls are registered by pressing the down button on the uphill case, and the car is called by this landing call. When the car arrives, passengers board the car, register all their destination floors, and complete the series of services by responding to the registered destination call.

Recently, a control panel with destination buttons has been installed at the landing, and by registering the destination floor at the landing, it has improved the operability of the button and the same management performance as the destination floor can be known before the car responds to the landing. For example, what was planned was
-4.0843 and Japanese Patent Publication No. 54-14382.

The most suitable car is selected by taking into consideration the service completion time sound for the destination button of the platform registered by the elevator A1 operation shown in this publication, and the destination floor of the responding car is displayed at the platform. It is carried out.

However, if many destination calls are registered for the same floor on the same floor using this method, the number of calls that can be handled by one car may be too large.
Since there is no such thing, it is best to have multiple baskets cracked. At this time, the destination floor for each car is determined by C and Vc, but in the following situation, the passenger at the landing has to find out which cam is the best for him/her and find out which floor is the best for him/her. It was often difficult.

This is the same situation when announcing the destination floor by voice, etc., and the group performance is reduced accordingly.

[Summary of the invention]

In order to eliminate the drawbacks of the upper dpi in the present invention, the V? As shown in Figure 1, there is a destination call button (for one person) installed in an elevator landing where several cars are installed side by side to call and operate the desired destination floor. and a destination call registration control means (2) for registering the operation of the destination call button.
), an allocation control means (8) for allocating the calls registered in the destination call registration control means to the plurality of elevators, and a drive control device (1B) for controlling the elevator cars allocated by this allocation control means. and an allocation regulation means (4) that adds restrictions to the car allocation according to the installation floor of the destination call button and the desired destination floor to s@, and the allocation regulation means (4) that adds restrictions to the car allocation according to the installation floor of the destination call button and the desired destination floor, and Destination notification control means (5) for causing the destination notification device to notify the destination floor, so that even when many destination calls are registered for the same destination on the same floor,
To propose a complete elevator group management system that allows passengers at a landing to easily find the most suitable car to reach their destination floor.

Figure 4 shows the destination call registration floors H registered for each operation panel installed at the landing of each floor. ) Destination registration floor j (=1゜2.3---8) of storehouse, horizontally installed operation panel on floor 1
For example, if H1j="1", then 1
The button for the J floor row of the floor landing is registered.

Figure 5 shows the allocation status of each floor landing for each car to the registered destination button. This indicates that the number is assigned to the 5th floor destination call.

In addition, this destination call registration floor H1 and assigned floors W1 to W
6, the array is set in the RAM of the microcomputer C1l.

Next, Fig. 6 shows the regulation AA of the destination display floor set in advance for all cars.The destination floors to be displayed are grouped for each installation floor. 701 is preferentially turned on. For example, if the destination display is installed on the 5th floor, the floors are consecutive, such as the 1st and 2nd floors, the 3rd and 4th floors, and the 6th to 8th floors. There is no grouping. This continuous grouping is not limited to one direction as seen from the r1 landing, but may be such that the up and down directions are one group, such as group B on the seventh floor. The regulation AA for the destination display floor is also set up as a RAMK array of the microcomputer (111). Figure 7 is an array diagram of the destination display receiving floor arranged for each car. This indicates that destinations are to be displayed on a priority basis.It is responsible for displaying destinations in groups as shown in the Destination Display Floor Regulations in Figure 6. Once decided, the entire group will be in charge.This will be explained in detail with reference to FIG.

Now, assume that Unit 1 is in charge of calling the 6th floor destination on the 1st floor, 7th floor destination calling on the 5th floor, and 8th floor destination calling on the 1st floor of No. 2 41H. In the case of C, the 1st wall is in charge of all the floors of group A to which the 6th floor destination of 11v belongs, that is, the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th floors, as shown in Figure 6. Group C floor where the 7th floor destination on the 5th floor is dawning,
In other words, it is in charge of the 6th, 7th, and 8th floors.

Among these, when calling a destination on each registered floor, this destination display is given priority to the NFC number car that has its own floor, and is displayed divided into groups for each car.

For example, the destination display on the 1st floor (1e□
, L(1cmJ+(displayed in 1e and 0). In this case,
The destination lights for the 3rd and 8th floors, which have already been assigned, are on, and the rostral character shown here is registered as the destination floor for Imasa.
'LfL' indicates that the light is turned on by half-lighting.

In this way, since the allocation to the registered fc flights is regulated so that they are continuous on the display, the destination floor can be intuitively determined.

In Figure 9, when displaying the upper 8 pins and the 2-stroke regulation,
This is a program stored in the ROM of the microcomputer α sword used for group management. Figure 10 shows its subprogram, and Figure 11
The figure shows details of one processing step (hereinafter referred to simply as "S") in FIG. 10. In FIGS. 9 to 11, initial settings for floor scanning are performed at 6101. .5104

Next, at 5205, S on the 1st floor of each car. Assignment evaluation value for the next floor call? #-put out.

To this, basket k. This is a comprehensive evaluation of the waiting time for all destination calls (including those not assigned to KO) and the service time after boarding, assuming the above-mentioned allocation is taken into account. .

Here, the expected arrival time until you can answer the call ahead on the J floor on the 1st floor, and the time required to answer the call ahead on the J floor on the Tijii floor, that is, the duration. , 5kij respectively indicate the expected arrival time, that is, the service time, until the first floor of car k can respond to a call on the jth floor. It is "1" when it is assigned to jN calls on the first floor, and it is "0" when it is not assigned.

This is the place to go to Eko on the 1st floor. Service evaluation value for Kanabe on the floor (Rko1ojo+T1ojo+5ko

j. V waiting time and length (Rkij + Tij + 5kij) X Wlc can be reduced by allocating new calls with equipment.
Everything is evaluated based on ij.

Note that the calculation method for Rkij and Tij is the same as that of a known group control device using normal up and down calls.
In addition, since 5kij can be written exactly the same as Rkij, although it is not shown in the figure, the destination floor on the 1st floor is known before arrival, so it is not only possible to stop at the installation floor by assignment as a stop floor. It can be calculated by calculating the total number of stops at each floor based on the destination call from the installation floor.

Next, as shown in detail in FIG. 11 at 8206, the destination indicator can be assigned by floor;

The best evaluation value is also updated to Eko.

At 8208, we add up the scanning photons for all the issues, and at 8209 we finish adding K, the best so far, to the allocation basket.

If o=0, it must be n, that is, the scanning number k. i on the destination display desk floor. floor j. The floor is set, or even one is on the 1st floor. If the lv destination is not set in the destination display, it is assumed to be positive.

Next, Figure 12 shows the microcomputer Qη(7)RO that performs group management.
FIG. 16 shows the details of one processing step Mk in FIG. 12.

All the groups to which the destination call assigned to this tourogram belongs Destination indicators are set on the own floors, and all the floors where they are installed and the floor where they are installed are displayed for car k.
'J3- is for scanning the destination floor.

All processes 5305 to 5307 are performed for the target. Among these, 5605 checks whether the destination call is assigned to the same group as the destination floor j on the installation floor 1 based on the destination display floor regulation AA, and if it is assigned, moves to 5606 and installs it. The display for the destination call and money on floor 1 indicates the floor you have. Here, if it is not allocated, 1c
Move to i8307 to cancel the assigned floor.

Then, all the destination call displays for all the floors where car k is installed will be displayed on the corresponding floor.

By the way, as shown in FIG. 16, the details of the decision to leave 8305 VC& are as follows: '5=-' is assigned to each destination call j=1.2, 3... 9,
In addition, it is checked whether the group gej and the group Iguchi J- are satisfied, and if even one is satisfied, it is judged as ``yxsJ''.

In addition, to determine whether it is the same group, the assignment on the installation floor 1
'Lfc Only the destination floor has been investigated, but it may be added as the size mt of all the destination floors j in front depending on the other realization K.

Here, the installation floor stop for boarding at the floor in front of the other calls, j, -, J:, the destination call from the installation floor, and the in-car destination of the passenger who is already on the in-car floor car. Kanobigaru.

FIG. 14 shows a destination display program for the destination floor indicator light 1C, which is stored in the ROM of the microcomputer that performs all car control. Here, the microcomputer that manages the 5 groups (valley setting + V″″r sent from 1 sword to @basket), the assigned destination floor Wijj? and the display are the floors Aij, 1: 5 and each row at each landing. Ahead indicator light?It decides whether to turn on or not and outputs it to the display.Here, if the indicator is on the assigned floor and it is not assigned, all lights are on, and the display receiver is on the assigned floor. When only , the display is half-lit, and otherwise it is off.

In steps 5401 to 5404, all the landings and the destination floors at each landing are scanned and updated. and 5405-409
The destination indicator light for destination floor j of landing hall 1 is turned on.

Among these, at 840.5, it is determined whether the display receiver is on the own floor and the assigned floor is on the 9th floor. If the conditions are met, turn on all the indicator lights on the J floor of landing 1 at 5406, and turn on 5406.
07 and the display receiver is only for the floor you have, nige 84
08, half-lit, and 8409 in other cases.
The light goes out.

In addition, although only the destination floors n assigned in the construction direct floor were checked in the judgment of all lighting at 8405, it may be added as a judgment of all the destination floors j of the front stop floors due to other calls.

In addition, in the above 6C embodiment, the allocation limit is set in advance, but this limit may be reset as appropriate depending on the situation from time to time, and the Although the display @ is used, a speaker or the like may be used instead.

Further, although the allocation restriction in the second embodiment is such that the floors are continuous, other easy-to-understand restrictions may be used, and the restriction may be relaxed depending on the case.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As is clear from the above explanation, according to the present invention, the allocation of cars is regulated according to the destination floor of the passenger.
Destination alarm V that is available to the public at the boarding point? - It is possible to easily select a car that more closely matches the destination floor, it is possible to eliminate the factors that degrade group management performance when a destination control panel is installed at the landing, and it is possible to make an elevator that is extremely easy to use.
