Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Object of the Invention] (Industrial Field of Application) The present invention relates to a control device for a group control elevator that is equipped with a destination floor registration device common to each machine that registers a destination floor from a landing.

(Prior art) In the conventional group control elevator system, when a hall call is registered by a hall call registration device for ascending and descending directions, the most suitable machine is immediately assigned, the hall lanterns are lit for each direction at the hall, and service reservations are made. will be displayed. When the service car arrives at the landing and the door opens, the user gets into the car and registers the destination floor using the operation panel inside the car.

However, in recent elevators where the destination floor is registered at the landing, the destination floor call is registered at the landing by a destination floor registration device common to each elevator.

The destination floor registration button is lit to display the registration, and the button that is lit at the time of deceleration or door opening is turned off when the car arrives at the assigned car landing by immediately allocating the optimum car. moreover,
A boarding detection device is provided for each elevator, and only when a user boarding the car is detected, the destination floor in the car is automatically registered and the destination floor is displayed.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) In the conventional elevator/descend direction-specific hall call registration device, the light turns on when the registration operation is performed, and turns off when the assigned car responds, that is, when decelerating in the same direction as the call. Since one elevator was assigned, I was able to recognize which call the elevator was responding to, so there was no problem.

However, in the method of registering the destination floor at the landing, one elevator is assigned to multiple destination calls, so if the registration display on the button is turned off when responding, it becomes unclear which call the elevator is responding to. Put it away. In particular, it is too early for the light to turn off when a deceleration command is issued. Therefore, even though the destination floor has already been registered, the user often feels anxious and presses the destination button again. Also, people who arrived in a hurry later on could not tell whether the destination button was already registered or not.

The purpose of the present invention is to display a lighting button at the first landing when the destination floor is registered, and to display a flashing destination button when responding to the assigned car (wc continuous speed), so that unregistered calls can be distinguished from calls that have already been registered and answered. To provide an elevator group management control device which eliminates users' anxiety and eliminates unnecessary operations.

[Structure of the invention]

(Means for solving the problem) Destination floor calls are registered by a landing floor registration device that is provided at the landing of each floor for multiple elevators and is common to each elevator and registers the destination floor call at the landing. The allocating means selects and allocates the most suitable elevator to service the registered destination floor call. The landing destination floor registration button is pressed to call the destination floor at the landing, and when the call is registered, it is lit up and displayed by the landing destination floor registration device, and the button is pressed to make a destination floor call. When an elevator responds, the display changes from a lit display to a blinking display, and after the response of the assigned elevator is completed, the lights are turned off.

(Function) When the destination floor call is registered at the landing, the illuminated landing destination floor registration button will flash the registration button of the answered destination floor call when the assigned elevator responds, and the registration button will be displayed after the elevator response is completed. Turn off the button.

(Example) An example of the present invention will be described using the drawings. 1 and 2 show an example of the configuration of an elevator group management control device according to the present invention. In FIG. 1, the first group management control device 1 constantly reads the state of the call registered by the hall destination floor registration device 2 using the hall destination floor registration button 2a. As shown in FIG. 2, the landing destination floor registration button 2a is composed of a lamp 3a and a pushbutton switch 3b for each floor. When a car call occurs, the status of each elevator car (sx<x=A, B, . . . ) is input, and the most suitable car is selected and assigned to a landing (by direction). In addition, the car number that received this assignment, X (X = A
, B...) will service the landing based on the assignment command. The No.,
input the load detection signal. The landing detection device 4X detects that a passenger is boarding when the load increases by more than a set value before and after the time between the doors, and the control device 6X (X
=A, B...), the boarding detection signal is transmitted to the group management control device 1.

Based on this transmitted boarding detection signal, the group management control device 1
outputs the destination floor registration command to 3x as to whether it has been serviced (stopped), and this car registers the destination floor registered at the landing.
A lamp is displayed on the in-car operation panel 7X (X=A, B...) which is the display section. This display uses the conventional car call registration display.

The landing destination floor registration button W2 shown in Fig. 2 is the central processing bag M.

Via U.

It is connected to the control device 6X of each elevator by a network line 7, and detects information from each elevator dynamically and in real time. For example, various signals such as car direction and position, deceleration operation, and door open status can be input.

FIG. 3 shows the state transition of the landing destination floor registration display according to the present invention, and FIG. 4 shows a flowchart of the operation. FIG. 3 shows a case where the service floor is the 5th floor and the landing floor destination button is installed on the 2nd floor. This is a case where the destination call for the 3rd floor and the destination call for the 5th floor are registered, and when the destination buttons for the 3rd and 5th floors on the landing floor registration board 2 are pressed as shown in Figure 3(a),
Step 10), the destination buttons for the 3rd and 5th floors are lit to display registration (step 11). If the destination button is not pressed, that state is maintained (step 12). The most suitable car is selected from a plurality of elevators and assigned to the destination call (step 13). The lantern 8 in the direction of the destination call is lit and a chime is sounded once to display the reservation (FIG. 3(b)). When the assigned elevator is not running on another floor (step 14) and responds to a landing, deceleration starts (step 15). If the assigned car is running on another floor, the destination button remains lit (step 16). Platform destination button 2a-3
The call registration display for the floor and the 5th floor blinks (step 17,
In FIG. 3(a), it is announced that the service elevator has responded. In that case, the lantern of the 1-allocated elevator is blinked (Fig. 3 (b)) and the chime is sounded twice to guide the user to the elevator. When a user gets on the assigned elevator, this is detected and the in-car destination button 7A on the floor registered at the landing lights up (Fig. 3 (C)), and the elevator is operated toward that floor. Ru. The flashing display on the landing destination button 2a will continue until the service elevator door is closed.
When the door is closed (step 18), the landing destination button turns off (
Along with step 19), registration of a new call is accepted.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, according to the present invention, when the assigned elevator responds, it is possible to tell by the mushroom which floor the destination button is responding to, so passengers do not have to worry about unnecessary button presses, which helps improve the service. Furthermore, when a plurality of elevators are assigned to destination calls in the same direction, such as during dispatch time division operation, it is possible to know which elevator is assigned to which destination call.
