Abstract
Description
An intelligent elevator control apparatus and method are provided.
An elevator is a device that moves a person or cargo between a floor and a floor in a high-rise building. Conventionally, the elevator senses the weight of a person or cargo in the elevator and additionally receives a person or cargo It is judged whether it can do it and it is operating.
However, even if a bulky and heavy-weight cargo is loaded in the elevator or people who have already occupied almost the inside space of the elevator, it is judged that the weight is below the critical weight and the elevator runs to the called floor, Or it is often impossible to accept cargo. Accordingly, when the occupant rate of the elevator is high, for example, the occupant waiting for the elevator tries to board the elevator in a state in which the occupant space is not enough at the work time, the elevator operation is delayed and unnecessary body contact of the passengers inside the elevator may occur. Also, unnecessary power consumption and running costs may be increased by running the elevator despite the impossibility of boarding a person or loading cargo.
An object of an embodiment of the present invention is to provide an intelligent elevator control apparatus and method for controlling the operation of an elevator based on a result of measuring a weight and a volume of a person or a cargo inside an elevator.
An object of an embodiment of the present invention is to provide an intelligent elevator control apparatus and method for controlling the operation of an elevator based on a result of comparison between an inside situation of an elevator and an outside situation for waiting an elevator.

Thereafter, the remaining boarding weight calculated in step S22 and the remaining boarding volume are compared with the waiting weight of each floor measured in step S23 and the waiting volume of each floor to select a floor-capable floor of the waiting room (S24).
If there are a number of layers in which the standby volume and the waiting weight are less than the remaining boarding volume and the remaining boarding weight in step S24, the volume difference (remaining boarding volume - waiting volume) or the weight difference (remaining boarding weight - .
Finally, the elevator is controlled to stop at the layer selected in the step S24 (S25).
Although FIG. 6 discloses a method of controlling the operation of one elevator, according to the embodiment of the present invention, it is possible to control the operation of the elevator in a building in which a plurality of elevators are installed. Specifically, according to an embodiment of the present invention, an elevator capable of boarding a waiting room existing in a floor where a stop call is made is compared with the standby volume and the waiting weight of each floor by the remaining boarding volume and the remaining boarding weight of one or more elevators, It can be controlled to stop.
For example, in a 25-story building with three elevators (A, B, C) with a weight threshold of 950 kg and a volume threshold of 3 m 3 , a stop call occurred on the 15th, 11th, The operation control method of the elevator according to one embodiment of the present invention is as follows. At this time, the remaining boarding volume and the remaining boarding weight of the elevators A, B, C calculated through the first
- Elevator A (in descending to the first floor from the floor 25) on board the remaining volume of 1.3m 3, remaining on board weighs 200kg
- Elevator B (falling of the first layer in the layer 20): The remaining volume of 2m 3 on board, weight on board remaining 150kg
- Elevator C (from the 19th floor to the 1st floor): the remaining boarding volume is 1.3m 3 , the remaining boarding weight is 70kg
- 15 floors - waiting volume of 0.2m 3, waiting weighs 30kg
- 11 floors - waiting volume of 1m 3, waiting weighs 40kg
- Level 7: Standby volume is 1.7m 3 , Waiting weight is 100kg
Under the above conditions, the elevator C is controlled to stop on the 15th and 11th floors by considering the remaining boarding volume and the remaining boarding weight through the
Accordingly, it is possible to reduce unnecessary stopping of the elevator in a building in which a plurality of elevators are installed, increase the operating efficiency, and reduce the elevator operation and maintenance cost. In addition, the ease of use of the elevator of the waiting person or the passenger can be improved.
In the embodiment of the present invention, an infrared ray emitting unit is described as an example of the light emitting unit, but the present invention is not limited thereto, and may be implemented by a laser or an ultrasonic wave.
While the present invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to exemplary embodiments, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the disclosed exemplary embodiments, but, on the contrary, It belongs to the scope.
