Abstract

PURPOSE: A selective operation method for an elevator is provided to prevent the unnecessary operation of an elevator and to reduce the time to wait for the elevator. CONSTITUTION: A hall call command is received by inputting a hall call push button for a random floor. The hall call push button is maintained for a specific time according to the counting operation of a timer. The input action for the specific time is recognized as a call command for moving a specific elevator to a specific floor. Thus, the specific elevator receiving the call command performs a commanded operation. As the hall call push button is not pushed or the button input action is not kept for the specific time, a predetermined management algorithm transfers the hall call command to a random elevator.

Description

Elevator selection operation method {SELECTION DRIVING METHOD OF ELEVATOR}

The present invention relates to an elevator selection driving method, and more particularly, when an elevator designated to service only a specific floor is selected / invoked according to a passenger's predetermined control operation regardless of a dual / military operation algorithm. The present invention relates to an elevator selection operation method in which the elevator provides a service according to the call command.

In general, elevators are longitudinal transportation means, and are designed and operated depending on the purpose of the building from small buildings to skyscrapers of several tens of floors, and the role of elevators due to the higher floors of buildings is increasing.

Since these elevators are generally divided into several groups by installing the service floor according to the number of floors, numerous elevators are installed, which increases the area of the hoistway to the building, resulting in the compression of the rentable ratio. .

Therefore, during congestion such as when going to work, during lunch, or leaving work, two-story elevators are operated to divide the odd-numbered and even-numbered lines to improve transportation capacity. It acts as a bridge between floors of buildings and buildings.

A general control system of such an elevator is shown in FIG. 1, and as shown therein, a military management unit 100 which manages a plurality of elevator operations is provided to determine which elevator to dispatch to a platform call. Then, the dispatch command is transmitted to each unit management unit 102 (102n), and the unit management unit 102 (102n) receives a signal such as a destination floor button, a door opening / closing button, etc. in a platform, and opens / closes a command of a door, a brake release command. The motor start command, the speed command to the target floor, and the like are transmitted to the drive control unit 104, and the drive control unit 104 controls and operates the landing hall 108 in accordance with the operation of the drive unit 106. At this time, the command to each platform management unit 102 (102n) to the platform and the platform equipment is made through various networks.

When the platform is controlled and operated through such a command, the current elevator driving status is shown to the passengers through hall lanterns and platform indicators.

However, in recent years, in order to improve the aesthetic effect of a building that is not a monotonous building structure, such as a pyramid-like architecture, or inevitably vary the overall number of buildings, including the number of underground floors, the entire building is the same. Many buildings with unbalanced floors rather than floors are being designed

Since such an unbalanced building has limited elevators that can be operated for any particular floor, an efficient control operation is performed when the elevator is operated by the above-mentioned two-story elevator driving method and general driving method. I can't.

The driving operation according to the call of the elevator in the unbalanced floor is described with reference to FIGS. 2A and 2B as follows.

First, as shown in FIG. 2A, the first elevator (hereinafter abbreviated as 'first unit') is on the fifth floor, and the second elevator (hereinafter abbreviated as 'second unit') is on the first floor. If the user operates the down button on the platform to go from the ground floor to the fourth floor, the lift call allocation logic of the military management control unit is programmed to assign the lift call to the fastest available service for the registered lift call. The first floor downcall is assigned to the second unit so that the second unit opens the door to service the first floor downcall, and the first unit does not move.

However, since the second unit cannot operate the fourth floor underground, the user operates the upper floor button in the second unit to call the first unit, and then runs the second unit in the UP direction. Only if the down button of the platform is operated again, the first unit moves down to the first floor.

Therefore, in order to call the first unit, the user operates the upper button in the second unit to drive in the up direction, and then operates the down button of the platform to operate the first unit down to the first floor. Will be.

Also, as shown in Fig. 2B, even if the first unit is on the fifth floor and the second unit is on the third floor, the first unit is not driven when the user operates the elevating down button on the first floor. The second station located closest to the first floor, because the user can not go to the basement floor of the fourth floor. Therefore, when the second unit arrives on the first floor, the user must operate the upper floor button of the second unit to drive in the up direction and then call the first unit by operating the down button of the platform again. The first basement can be used to receive services on the fourth basement floor.

However, in a building having an unbalanced floor as described above, the user inevitably calls the second unit to go to a predetermined target floor, and then calls the first available service, thereby unnecessary operation due to the call of an unserviceable elevator and thus There is a problem that causes power waste.

In addition, the user has another problem that the user waiting time is long by calling the first unit that can serve the target floor after calling the second unit.

Such a problem that the waiting time of the passenger is long has an additional problem that an unpleasant work may be caused by an increase in anxiety as the waiting time of the passenger is increased by waiting in an elevator hall.

Accordingly, the present invention has been made to solve the above problems, in the case where a specific elevator is to serve only a specific floor in a building where there is an unbalanced floor in which the elevator operates according to the double or military management, It is an object of the present invention to provide an elevator selection operation method for calling the specific elevator when the elevating up / down button is operated / maintained for a predetermined time or more.

In addition, another object of the present invention is to provide an efficient operation of the elevator by preventing unnecessary operation of the unserviceable elevator according to a specific elevator call operation and shortening the waiting time of the passenger.

Elevator selection operation method of the present invention for achieving the above objects, in the elevator operation method according to a predetermined operation in a building that has an unbalanced floor in accordance with the double or military management, elevating up or down for any floor Determining whether a lift call command according to a down button is input; and when the lift up button or the lift down button is input from the determination step, the up / down button input is input for a predetermined time according to the counting operation of a predetermined timer. Determining whether it is maintained, and if the input operation is maintained for the predetermined time, recognizing it as a call command to operate to a specific specific floor using a specific elevator, and assigning the call command to the specific elevator to perform a service. A step is made.

Preferably, if there is no input of the elevating up button or elevating down button from the determining step, or if the button input operation is not maintained for a predetermined time after the elevating up button or elevating down button is input, the elevating call command is performed by a preset group management algorithm. It is characterized by assigning to any elevator.

According to the present invention as described above, by pressing the lift call button for more than a predetermined time during double or military management by recognizing that the passenger wants to go to a specific floor using a specific elevator, by assigning a corresponding lift call command to a specific elevator, It will be able to maximize the operating efficiency of.

Hereinafter, a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the flowchart of the elevator selection operation process of FIG. 3.

Here, a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the elevator operating state in which the unbalanced layers of FIGS. 2A and 2B mentioned in the prior art exist, and descriptions overlapping with the prior art will be omitted.

First, the elevator control unit (not shown in the figure, hereinafter abbreviated as 'control unit') in charge of dual or military management continuously checks whether an elevator up / down button of any floor is input (step 110), When the first unit is on the fifth floor and the second unit is on the first floor as shown in FIG. 2A, when the passenger enters the lift down button on the first floor to go to the fourth basement floor, the control unit inputs the button. To be recognized.

At this time, if the elevating up button or elevating down button is not applied (NO in step 110), the elevating call command is assigned by the normal group management algorithm initially set (step 160).

Subsequently, the control unit that recognizes the down button input then drives the internal timer (step 120), if the down button continues to be input for a predetermined time, e.g., 3 seconds, during the internal timer counting (step (E.g. 130), the call command for it is recognized as a command to select a specific unit, that is, a first unit capable of servicing the fourth floor of the basement, and assigns the call instruction to the first unit, so that the first unit calls the passenger. In accordance with the first floor (step 140) (step 150).

Accordingly, the first unit to which the lift call command is assigned can operate to the target floor by operating the operation button indicating the fourth floor below the passenger (step 170).

In other words, if the lift down button is continuously operated for 3 seconds, the second unit is not driven and the first unit immediately executes the command for the lift call.

In this case, when the elevating button is operated within 3 seconds, the elevating call command is performed by a normal group management algorithm that is initially set, not a command for designating an elevating call command to a specific elevator (NO in step 160). The time setting according to the timer count can be set to an appropriate time required for passengers to smoothly call a specific elevator.

On the other hand, as another embodiment for selecting a specific breath according to the timer counting operation, it is possible to provide a selection switch to select a specific breath at a predetermined position around the platform indicator and the platform button of each elevator platform.

For example, if there is one elevator running on the 4th basement floor and the passengers operate the selector switch with a notice such as "Passengers going to the 4th basement press this switch" near the selector switch, The control unit receiving the selection switch signal may select and assign a specific unit.

As described above, in order to select / assign a specific call according to a timer counting operation and a selection switch operation, a program for selecting a specific call for a predetermined call command is stored in a memory in the controller.

On the other hand, in the state where the general elevator which is not selected other than the elevator which can go to a specific target floor is stopped (NO in step 140), the passenger operates the elevator door by operating the elevator up or down button for 3 seconds or more as needed. If it is kept open, the control unit performs a service without allocating a specific unit running a specific target floor to the selected unit by a preset program (step 160) (step 170).

According to the above embodiment, when the lift call button is pressed for three seconds or more during double or military management, the control unit recognizes that the passenger wants to go to a specific floor by using a specific breathing machine and assigns a call command to the specific breathing machine. Operation efficiency can be maximized.

In addition, although specific embodiments of the present invention have been described and illustrated above, it is obvious that the present invention may be variously modified and implemented by those skilled in the art.

Such modified embodiments should not be individually understood from the technical spirit or the prospect of the present invention, and such modified embodiments should fall within the claims appended to the present invention.

As described in detail above, in the elevator selection operation method according to the present invention, when the passenger presses the call button for a predetermined time or more, the control unit recognizes the mode to be operated to a specific target floor using a specific unit, and the specific unit is called. By assigning, it is possible to reduce unnecessary operation of the unselected elevator.

In addition, the energy saving and the waiting time for passengers can be reduced, thereby maximizing the operating efficiency of the elevator.
