Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Object of the Invention] (Industrial Field of Application) The present invention relates to a group management control elevator system, and is particularly concerned with a group management control elevator system. This invention relates to a group management control elevator system with an improved registration device.

(Conventional technology) Multiple elevators are installed to respond to generated hall calls.
By predicting and selecting the most suitable car for service based on the status information of each elevator and making the response, it is possible to provide services to customers in a short time. There is a group management control elevator system that comprehensively manages the elevators according to the situation.
It has become widely used in recent years.

By the way, in the conventional group management control elevator system, each landing is provided with a landing registration device for each elevator direction for landing calls. When using an elevator, the user registers a call by operating a button on the elevator registration device.

When this call is registered, the service number assignment calculation is immediately performed based on the status of each aircraft number, and the call is assigned to the determined aircraft number, and the hall lanterns for each direction of the landing are lit and the service reservation is displayed. Go and inform the customers. Then, when the car of that service number arrives at that floor and the door opens, the passenger gets into the car and registers by calling the registration button on the control panel inside the car and pressing the button for the desired floor. , head to the destination floor.

In this way, passengers enter the car they have arrived at and then press the unknown destination button to register, so if the car is crowded, they may not be able to get close to the in-car operation panel. , you may have to ask someone nearby to do it, or you may have passed the destination floor, and group management may have to register for the first time after a passenger has boarded. As the situation changes, the predictions made for landings on other floors may be incorrect, and other cars may arrive first.
If they do not last long, they will have to be reassigned, which can be a major cause of incorrect forecasts.

Therefore, a landing destination floor registration device has been proposed and put into practical use that allows you to use the destination floor when registering Kanabi at the landing, so that you do not have to operate the end of the destination floor using the car operation panel. Attempts have been made to

This device for registering destination floor names has a button for each destination floor at the landing of each floor, and passengers can register their floor at the landing by pressing the desired button from the chain of the destination floor. Since the destination floor of the passenger can be known in advance, it is possible to accurately predict which car will arrive first, and it is especially useful during busy times because there is no need to operate the floor chain inside the car.

(Problem to be Solved by the Invention) In this way, the landing destination floor registration device provides a button for each destination floor at the landing of each floor, and passengers can reach the destination floor by pressing the desired button from the chain of the destination floor. This allows floor registration to be done at the landing.

However, in this type of system that is currently being proposed, when a passenger presses a destination registration button for registering a destination floor call, which is installed commonly in each car at the landing, the call corresponding to that button is registered in the group management control device. The management control device can respond to this call early, selects and assigns the most reasonable car to service the destination floor, and lights up the registration light of the destination registration button operated above. This performs registration display. At the same time, the hall lantern of that number is lit to display the forecast.

Then, the assigned car responds to the call and turns off the registration light of the destination registration button, which was previously controlled to be turned on when decelerating or starting to open the door in order to land on the floor.

Further, a passenger detection device is provided for each car, and only when a passenger is detected entering the car, the destination floor in the car is automatically registered and the destination floor is displayed. Clear this when you reach the destination floor.

In this way, the destination floor is registered at the landing, one of the most suitable service elevators is assigned for that call, the hall lanterns, etc. at the landing are lit to display the reservation, and when the assigned car is answered, the registration display on the button is turned off. However, since the registration display of the button at the boarding point is erased, the boarding point will not be displayed even though it has already been registered in the car. It happens that you get irritated. Further, customers who arrive later do not know whether their destination floor has already been registered by another customer.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide an elevator system in which the destination floor can be registered at the landing of each floor, so that even when the car arrives, the registered destination floor can be known at the landing. An object of the present invention is to provide a group management control elevator system which is designed to provide convenience for passengers.

[Structure of the invention] (Means for solving problems) In order to achieve the above object, the present invention is configured as follows.

That is, a plurality of elevators are put into service for a plurality of service floors, and the landing of each floor has a destination registration button for each service floor and a registration light for displaying the registration. When a destination floor call is registered by this landing destination registration device, the group management control means selects and assigns the most suitable elevator to respond to the registered destination floor call, and controls the elevator operation of each car. In the group management control elevator system, the elevator system responds to the landing under the control of the group management control means, and the hall destination registration device responds to the service elevator assigned to the elevator based on the information given by the single control means and the group management control means. At the time of response, the registration light of the destination registration button at the registered destination and the registration light of the destination registration button corresponding to the registered destination floor of the service elevator are controlled to blink, and after the response is completed, the registration light of the relevant landing is controlled to turn off. It is configured with a function to do so.

(Function) The group management control elevator system having such a configuration has a landing destination registration device for registering the destination, which has a destination registration button for each service floor and a registration light for the registration display at the landing of each floor. When the destination floor call is registered by this hall destination registration device, the group management control means selects and assigns the most suitable elevator to respond to the registered destination floor call, and the single control means controls the elevator operation of each car. Have the landing respond under control.

On the other hand, the landing destination registration device is connected to the single control means and the group management control means and can exchange information. Then, based on the various status information received by the landing destination floor registration device, when the assigned service elevator responds, the registration light of the destination registration button at the registered destination and the registered destination of the service elevator are displayed. The registration light of the destination registration button corresponding to the floor is controlled to blink, and after the response is completed, the registration light of the corresponding landing is controlled to be turned off. Therefore, when a service elevator responds, the registration light of the destination registration button of the relevant landing will flash the registration light of the floor that the elevator is trying to service, so you can see at a glance which floor is called and registered as a service floor. You'll come to understand.

Therefore, according to the present invention, in an elevator system in which a destination floor can be registered at the landing of each floor, even when a car arrives, the registered destination floor can be known from the landing side. Furthermore, the registered floor in the car can be known, making it possible to improve the convenience of passengers. Therefore, it is possible to provide a group management control elevator system that does not confuse passengers.

(Example) An example of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 2 is a schematic block diagram showing the basic configuration of a group management control elevator system according to the present invention, and FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing its details. In the figure, 1 is a group management control device that manages group management control. The group management control device 1 has a car status information table (CCT) that holds the car status information of each car.

T) An arithmetic unit 26 is provided which performs calculations for optimal car allocation for newly generated hall calls and controls the allocation using tables such as 24 (formed on memory) and information from these tables. 2 is a landing floor registration device installed at each landing, which is common to multiple aircraft under group management, and has destination registration buttons for each serviceable floor. . Each destination registration button is provided with a light source, and the light source can be controlled to turn on or blink so that passengers can see it when registering.

3A to 3N are the cars of elevators A to N under group control.Hereinafter, in order to distinguish the components of A to N, suffixes A to N will be added to the respective numbers, but as necessary. This will be omitted in the explanation unless otherwise noted. 4A to 4N determine how the detected load changes over time during the floor service period based on the detected load of the load detectors 5A to 5N installed in the legs 3A to 3N of each unit and the door opening/closing signal. Boarding detectors 6A to 6N are single control devices for controlling which operation of each car.
5 and door opening/closing buttons, etc., but the destination floor end chain 1 of the internal operation panel 7
5 to input the destination floor, the call registration circuit 11 receives the input and registers the destination floor, and the floor call registration allocation circuit 11 receives the output from the group management control unit fIli1 and registers the destination floor. A car status buffer 12 that holds car status information, a floor call registration circuit 13 that receives and registers the floor call registration allocation output from the group management control device 1, and a car position registration circuit 13 that is provided for each car and outputs a car position signal. The car position selector 14 controls the operation of the car so that the floors registered in the car call registration circuit 11 are serviced in order.

The car status buffer 12 receives the car position signal from the position selector 14, contacts 16 such as relays that close when the door is opened, contacts 17 that close when the car is in a non-directional state, contacts 18 that close while the car is running, and the car position signal from the position selector 14. Signals such as the contact 19 that closes when heading in the direction, the contact 20 that closes when the vehicle descends, and the contact 21 that closes when group control are input, as well as the occupancy detection signal from the occupancy detector 4, are input, and the state information of these is held. The status information is sent to the group management control device 1 and registered in a car status information table (OCT) 22 within the group management control device 1.

In such a configuration, the group management control device 1 has a car status information table (OC) that holds the car status information of each car.
T) There are tables such as 22. Destination floor call information table (KCT) that holds destination floor call information 23. Hall condition information table (HCT) that holds allocation information for each floor call direction of each car 24. , these K hold various types of information. These tables hold the latest information on the current status sent and received from each of the individual control devices 6A to 6N, while being updated sequentially.

Now, when a destination floor call is registered in the destination floor registration device 2 of a landing on a certain floor, if the destination floor call is on the floor below the landing floor, then the destination floor call in the direction of getting off is registered, and if the destination floor call is on the floor below If it is a destination floor call, the group management control device 1 detects a landing call in the ascending direction and creates an index corresponding to each landing and direction in the hall condition information table (HCT) 24 in its own memory. Of these, bit 11 of the data of the corresponding index is set. Then, the arithmetic unit R26 in the group management control device 1 searches the data set in these tables, selects the optimum car from among the A-N cars by calculation, and uses the standard or call registration circuit for the selected car. 13 and the call registration circuit 11 to register the allocation of the destination floor call. At the same time, the group management control device 1
Then, the HCT 24 assignment sets bit 10 of the index of the target hole. Then, when the assigned car decelerates in response to the landing assignment, the car position selector 1
The hall call registration (destination floor call) is cleared by the car position ff signal from 4, and bit 11 of the HCT 24 is also reset. Further, the assigned car opens the door and services the landing, but when that is finished, the assigned bit HCT 2 is determined by the car position signal from the car position selector 14.
Bit 10 of 4 is also reset.

The car call registration circuit 11 is connected to the unknown destination floor 15 of the in-car operation panel.
When turned on, a call is registered for that floor. Then, this is also notified to the group management control device 1, and in response to this, the group management control device 1 sets the corresponding floor call direction bit in the HCT 240 for the relevant car. When the service for the floor call direction of the car registered in this manner is completed, the HCT receives a car position signal from the car position selector 14 for that car.
24 corresponding bits are reset. Cart status buffer 1
2. Including the car position signal from the car position selector 14, a contact 16 such as a relay that closes when the door is opened, a contact 17 that closes when it is in a non-directional state, a contact 18 that closes during running,
Signals such as the contact 19 that closes when the car is traveling in the upward direction, the contact 2o that closes when the car is in the downward direction, and the contact 21 that closes during group control and the occupancy detection signal from the occupancy detector 4 are input, and these state information are stored in the holders. Ru. These held state information are sent to the group management control device 1 and registered in a car state information table (CCT) 22 in the group management control device.

In addition, the destination floor call signal registered in the destination floor registration device 2 installed at the landing is assigned the destination floor as an index and the destination floor is left-justified and corresponds to the bit. Register in Information Table (KCT) 23. For example, if the destination floor of the 8th floor is registered on the 5th floor, the KCT
set bit 7 in the word corresponding to the 5th floor of 23;
This is reset when the assigned machine decelerates. Occupation detector 4
constantly monitors the load inside the car, detects occupancy based on changes in the load value before and after the opening of the car door, and outputs an occupancy detection signal to the car status buffer 12.

Then, when the car lands at the registered landing on the destination floor and the door is opened, a boarding detection signal is generated from the boarding detector 4 as information obtained from the car status buffer 12 in the single control device 6 of that car. At this time, the group management control device 1 outputs the destination floor which is registered at the hall where the elevator has been serviced and which is in the direction that the elevator will pass from now on, as the above-mentioned call registration command.

In this way, the destination floor registered at the landing is transmitted to the car in which boarding is detected, and is automatically registered as a car call in the car call registration circuit 6 of the elevator concerned. Then, on the display section of the car operation panel 7, the light source of the registered destination floor registration button is turned on, and the destination floor is displayed.

On the other hand, at the landing where the service was received, when the service elevator starts service, the destination floor registration device 20 destination floor registration button is registered by the operation panel 7 in the car and the 9th floor starts blinking along with the corresponding floor end chain. The registered floor is called the 9th floor and is notified to the passengers at the landing.

This state will be explained in more detail. As shown in Figure 1 (IL), it is assumed that the 9th train is registered at the landing on the 1st floor and the destination floors are the 2nd and 5th floors.At this time, in Figure 1 (b), the assigned elevator running on the basement floor is the 1st floor. As shown in Figure (c), it is assumed that the destination floor registration button on the third floor of the in-car operation panel 70 is registered and lit. When this elevator begins to decelerate in order to service the first floor, its forecast lights begin flashing and a chime sounds.

At this time, among the buttons on the 20 destination floors of the landing destination floor registration device,
The light source of the floor button corresponding to the floor registered at the landing and the floor registered in the car is controlled to blink, and the landing is informed of which floor is registered as the destination. Then, when the elevator door opens and a passenger at the hall gets into the car, the button for the floor registered in the hall destination floor registration device 2 among the destination floor registration buttons on the car operation panel 7 is additionally lit.

When the door is completely closed, the landing destination floor registration device 2 turns off the destination registration button. It goes without saying that at the landings on intermediate floors, destination registration buttons on floors in a direction different from the operating direction of the service car are kept lit.

If the above operations are summarized in a flowchart, it will be as shown in FIG.

A system configuration diagram of the hall destination floor registration device 2 is shown in FIG. As shown in the figure, the landing destination floor registration device 2 has a CP inside.
U (f processor) 221, memory group 222m such as RAM (random access memory), ROM (read only memory), 222b1 digital output section (D
O) 223, digital input section (DI) 224,
connected by a path.

D0223 is used for lamp display output of the hall destination button, and DI224 is used for switch input of the hall destination button. The landing destination floor registration device 2 has the control contents programmed in the memory 222bK so that the landing destination button can be controlled in various ways as described above.
The CPU 221 executes this to realize various controls as described above.

The CPU 221 controls communication control via an NCU (network control unit) 225, a group management control device 1, and a single control device 6 of each machine via a network line.
It is connected to A, 5B,...6N and dynamically exchanges information from each aircraft in real time. For example, various signals such as car direction and position, deceleration operation, door opening/closing status, car call registration floor, etc. can be known. Therefore, it is possible to control the hall destination button display such that the car and call registration floor of the recognized allocated car are displayed blinking when the car starts decelerating, and turned off when the service ends. In this way, the landing destination floor registration device 2 is provided with the function of an intelligent terminal and exchanges various information with the group management control device 1 and the individual control devices 61, 6B, ... 6N of each car. Based on the transfer data, it is possible to control the display of the landing destination button, such as displaying the assigned car car and call registration floor blinking when the car starts decelerating and turning off the light when the service ends. This can be realized without any burden on the individual control devices 6A, 6B, . . . 6N of each machine.

In this way, the group management control elevator system having the above configuration is provided with a landing destination registration device for registering the destination, which has a destination registration button for each service floor and a registration light for displaying the registration, at the landing of each floor. When the destination floor call is registered by this landing destination registration device, the group management control device selects and assigns the most suitable elevator to respond to the registered destination floor call, and then under the control of the single control device that controls the elevator operation of each car. On the other hand, the landing destination registration device obtains various state information of the corner from the single control device and the group management control device, and when the assigned service elevator responds, the landing destination registration device responds to the registered destination. The registration light of the destination registration button and the registration light of the destination registration button corresponding to the registered destination floor of the service elevator are controlled to blink, and after the response is completed, the registration light of the corresponding hall is controlled to turn off. Therefore, when a service elevator responds, the registration light of the destination registration button of the relevant landing will flash the registration light of the floor that the elevator is trying to service, so you can see at a glance which floor is called and registered as a service floor. You'll come to understand.

Therefore, according to the present device, in an elevator system in which the destination floor can be registered at the landing of each floor, even when the car arrives, the destination floor for which the call has been registered can be known at the landing. Furthermore, since the registered floor of the car can be seen at the landing, it is more convenient for passengers and leads to improved service.

[Effects of the Invention] As described in detail above, according to the present invention, in an elevator in which the destination can be registered at the landing, even when the car arrives, not only the destination floor registered at the landing, but also the destination floor registered in the car can be registered. It is possible to provide a group management control elevator system having features such as being able to know the registered destination floor.
