Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Object of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to an elevator operation control device for controlling group-managed elevators and non-group-managed elevators.

(Prior art) In general, large buildings are subject to group management control.
In addition to the group of ~8 elevators, there are several back-end receiving elevators (elevators that are not managed by groups) used for transporting luggage. In addition, this non-group controlled elevator is
Due to the nature of the purpose, it is common for all floors to be serviced.

Therefore, when congestion becomes severe during the morning up-peak, lunchtime up-peak, down-peak, and evening down-peak, which are the peak of elevator transportation, non-group managed elevators are operated in conjunction with group managed elevators to improve transportation efficiency. A way to improve this was considered. However, if there is no way to tell which elevators are operating in conjunction with each other and when, passengers will not be able to use the elevators in the back. Previously, it was thought that the lighting of the landing indicator light would indicate to the group control side that the train was operating in conjunction with the group control side.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) The lighting of the hall indicator lights is difficult for passengers to understand, and it is difficult for passengers to understand the location of the linked elevators. It was not possible to change the guidance content.

The present invention has been made based on the above circumstances, and when the movement of group control elevators and non-group control elevators are organically linked at peak times in order to improve transportation efficiency, the movement of group control elevators and non-group control elevators is operated in conjunction with the landings on the group control side. The aim is to improve service and increase the efficiency of linked operation by broadcasting information.

[Structure of the invention]

(Means for Solving the Problems) The present invention includes a group management control device having a congestion degree detection means for group management control of a plurality of elevators and detecting the congestion degree, and a detection signal from the congestion degree detection means. The individual control device controls the elevators operated individually based on the operation status of the elevators controlled by the group management control device and the arrival forecast of the single elevator in the elevator hall controlled by the first group management control device. A speech synthesizer is provided to notify the location of the single elevator being serviced.

(Function) The single control device controls the elevators operated individually based on the detection signal from the congestion level detection means according to the operating status of the elevators controlled by the group management control device, and the voice synthesizer is controlled by the group management control device. The arrival forecast of the single elevator and the position of the single elevator being serviced are announced in the hall of the controlled elevator.

(Example) An embodiment based on the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram of an elevator control drawing according to an embodiment of the present invention. Inside the building, there are group management-controlled low-rise bank elevators 3A (common panel 1a, single control panel A1)
~Nl) and high-rise bank elevators 3B (common panel 1b, single control panels A2 to N2), and single elevators 3c other than group control (single control panel zs(x, y)).

In addition, signals are exchanged between the individual common panels (group control bags [) la and lb and the single elevator control panels 2S other than group control panels, and the common panels 1a and lb are equipped with a configuration to detect the degree of congestion. This detection signal is sent to the single control device 2.
It is designed to be given to S. Audio output signals di, d2 and sl, a2 are sent from the single control panel 2S to the audio synthesizers 5a, 5b in the bank elevator hall.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram of a speech synthesis device used in the present invention.

1 is a memory that stores digitally encoded audio data, 2 is a group of external signals, 3 is an input device for taking in these external signal groups 2, 4 is an output device, and 5 is a memory 1, an input device 3, or A controller that controls various types of output device 4, 6 a path line for data and control signal transmission connecting these devices, and 7 converting audio data read out and output from memory 1 via output device 4 into analog signals. 8 is an output filter for removing unnecessary frequency regions from the analog signal outputted from the decoder 7; 9 is an output amplifier for amplifying the analog signal filtered by the output filter 8; 10 is an output filter for amplifying the analog signal filtered by the output filter 8; This is a speaker for outputting the output of the output amplifier 9 as audio.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be explained using FIGS. 3 and 4. FIG. 3 is a flowchart diagram of the common boards 1a and lb. First, if the manual changeover switch of the common panels 1a, lb is on, step 4 is executed, and the interlocking operation output of the group control elevators 3A, 3B and the single elevator 3C is directly output. In step 2, a timer is set for 1 hour, and when the set time period is reached, the process proceeds to step 4 and outputs the interlocking operation output. Further, in step 3, if a peak is determined under conditions other than the above two conditions, an interlocking operation output is output. Here, the interlocking operation output is sent to the single control device 2S via signal lines C1 and C2 in FIG.

FIG. 4 is a processing flowchart in the single control device 2S. First, when an interlocking operation signal is input, the process proceeds to step 2 to determine which bank the signal is from. Thereafter, a return operation to a specific floor such as the standard floor or the cafeteria floor is performed (step 3).

When the deceleration command is output in step 4, the voice synthesizer will cause the elevator next to the stairs on the east side of the parking lot to arrive shortly in step 5. Please proceed to step 6 and receive the order to open the door.In step 7, the elevator in front of the 1 north emergency exit will depart soon. Departure information such as "Please hurry" is output from the speech synthesizer.

FIG. 5 shows the timing of the guidance broadcast. It is necessary to take into account the travel time from the bank to the location where the single elevator is installed and allow some time. The arrival guidance broadcast is output when the interlocking single elevator returns to a specific floor and starts decelerating. Departure information is output when a single elevator arrives at a specific floor and begins to open its doors. Also,
A single elevator is controlled so that the door remains open for several seconds after arriving at a specific floor.

As described above, this embodiment provides the following effects. In other words, if all the elevators in a building are organically connected and operated in conjunction with each other, and the back elevators other than group control are used to service the elevators in the busiest banks, it will be difficult to know which elevators will arrive where and when. By broadcasting information at appropriate times, customers will be able to use the elevator smoothly without inconvenience, reducing congestion during peak hours, and increasing their sense of security. , it is possible to effectively perform interlocking operation of elevators and operate them at maximum efficiency.

(Other examples) The present invention may be modified and implemented as follows.

In Fig. 4, the timing for giving the departure guidance in step 6 is the door opening command, but it may also be the time when a car call is made on the general floor, that is, the time when a person gets on the pull-back floor.
In addition, we have installed a voice synthesizer in the back elevator hall, so that when the door is opened, you can tell which bank is providing service.
Alternatively, guidance broadcasts may be output at fixed time intervals.

In other words, the contents and timing of the guidance broadcast are not limited to the present embodiment, and can be applied, and can be handled using similar processing. Furthermore, the number of banks in the group management control system is not limited and can be handled in the same way.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As described in detail above, according to the present invention, there is provided a group management control device having a means for group management control of a unit elevator group consisting of a plurality of elevators and detecting the degree of congestion, and a group management control device having means for group management control of a unit elevator group made up of a plurality of elevators and for detecting the degree of congestion; and a single control device that controls the elevators that are operated according to the operating status of the group control elevator.

By installing a voice synthesizer, when the movement of group-controlled elevators and non-group-controlled elevators are organically linked during peak hours in order to improve transportation efficiency, announcements of linked operation will be made to the landings on the group-controlled side. By doing so, it is possible to improve the efficiency of linked operations by improving services and increasing transportation capacity.
