Description

Elevator with multi-deck elevator

The invention relates to an elevator installation comprising at least one so-called multi-deck elevator. A multi-deck elevator is an elevator that provides a large transport capacity, particularly in a high-rise, multi-storey building by upwardly and downwardly moving a multi-deck elevator car with at least two superimposed passenger decks in an elevator shaft by means of a single elevator drive.

The invention relates to the problem that to achieve maximum transport capacity in a multi-deck elevator during normal operation, a certain passenger deck of the multi-deck elevator car stops only on this passenger deck associated floors, these floors are each separated by the number of floor distances from each other, that of the number of passenger decks the multi-deck elevator cabin corresponds. This means that in a multi-deck elevator, the multi-deck elevator cab three

Passenger decks covers a certain passenger deck in normal operation only on every third floor. A passenger who has boarded on any floor in a persistent passenger deck of a multi-deck elevator cabin with three passenger decks, in the worst case, has to get off on a floor that is two stories from his destination floor.

JP 07-215637 A discloses an elevator installation with a double deck elevator, in which two individual cars are combined to form a common double deck elevator car. The lower single cabin stops on odd-numbered floors in normal operation, and the upper single cabin stops on even-numbered floors. In order for a passenger to be able to get off the destination floor selected by him after any situation when boarding at the end of the elevator journey, the two passenger decks are connected by a staircase. The passenger can thus transfer from each of the passenger decks to the other passenger deck before the double decker elevator car has reached the destination floor selected by the passenger.

The double deck elevator known from JP 07-215637 A has the disadvantage that the change between the passenger decks is not to be expected from certain user groups, so that in practice considerable restrictions arise with regard to the applicability of the concept proposed in JP 07-215637 A. From JP 11-071063 A a control for a double deck lift is known. It is proposed that a wheelchair user, who has entered the upper deck of the double deck elevator car, by means of a special arranged in the cabin

Wheelchair users can dial their destination floor. Thus, the wheelchair user can cause the upper deck of the double deck elevator car to stop at the destination floor chosen by him, even if this destination floor is not approached by the upper deck during normal operation.

The known from JP 11-071063 A control for the biplane elevator has the disadvantage that the special wheelchair user select button can also be used by other passengers to drive the desired destination floor directly. This can lead to severe delays in the operation and a massive reduction in the transport capacity of the biplane elevator. In addition, there is a significant likelihood that the operation of such a wheelchair user speed dial key for the disabled wheelchair user is not or not feasible in the time available.

The object of the invention is to provide an elevator system with a multi-deck elevator, in which at least the disadvantages of the elevator systems according to the cited prior art are not present. In particular, it is an object of the invention to provide an elevator installation with at least one multi-deck elevator, in which improved means for the communication between the elevator installation and the passengers

Optimizing the transport capacity of the elevator system as well as the comfort for the passengers effect.

The object is achieved by an elevator installation having the features of independent claim 1. Furthermore, the object is achieved by an elevator installation having the features of independent claim 2.

Essentially, the solution to the problem is that in an elevator system with a multi-deck elevator, the multi-deck elevator car is configured so that passengers within the multi-deck elevator car can reach each of the passenger decks, and on the floors, floor destination input devices and passenger information devices are installed, the latter inform each passenger, on the basis of his destination input, on which passenger deck he should board after boarding, so that his elevator ride can end on his chosen destination floor.

In an elevator installation with a group of several elevators, at least one of which is a multi-deck car enclosure, the solution to the problem is that the

Multi-deck lift cabin is designed so that passengers within the

Multi-deck lift cabin of each of the passenger decks can achieve that on the floors floor destination input devices and passenger information devices are installed, the latter informing each passenger on the basis of his destination input which elevator of the group to use and, if the elevator to be used is a multi-deck car window, to which Passenger deck of Mehrdeckaufzugskabine he should go after boarding to reach the passenger deck, which will stop on the destination floor corresponding to his destination input.

The advantages of the elevator systems according to the invention with at least one

Mehrdeckkabinenauizug be seen in the fact that each passenger can select his destination floor before boarding, where he is informed by the passenger information device at least on which passenger deck of multi-deck elevator cabin he should go after boarding, so that he from this passenger deck on get out of his chosen destination floor. In the case of the elevator installation according to the invention with a group of several elevators, of which at least one is a multi-deck car enclosure, the passenger is additionally informed as to which elevator of the group he is

should advantageously take to reach as quickly as possible his destination floor.

With these measures, the passenger flow in the elevator system and the

Optimized transport capacity of the elevator system and at the same time causes an improvement of the transport comfort for the passengers.

A further embodiment of the invention consists in that in the area of the arranged on at least one of the floors floor destination input device

Detection device is present, which can recognize a certain authorization of a passenger, wherein a destination input of a correspondingly entitled passenger via the said floor destination input device on the destination input block assigned to this floor destination input device, the control device of the

Deck cabin lift so influenced that the passenger deck that the

Is assigned to the destination input floor, stops on the destination input floor, receives the authorized passenger and stops at least at the input destination floor, even if this Destination floor in normal operation is not assigned to said passenger deck.

The term "destination input storey" in the present description refers to a floor of the building on which a passenger has arrived at the elevator installation and enters his destination floor by means of the floor destination input device assigned to this floor.

With the embodiment of the invention described above, it is achieved that the transport comfort is additionally improved for particularly authorized passengers (eg V.I.P.s), and that the multi-deck elevator can be used at all for the disabled (eg wheelchair users).

Deck cabin lift so influenced that the passenger deck on the

Destination entry floor stops and receives the authorized passenger who is assigned to the input destination floor, even if the destination input floor is not assigned in normal operation to said passenger deck.

The passenger deck to which the destination input store is assigned in normal operation may also stop at the destination input store before or after the event

Destination entry floor is a current destination floor for said passenger deck, or if there is a call for said passenger deck on the destination input floor. With this embodiment of the invention, it is also achieved that for particularly authorized passengers (eg V.I.P.s) the transport comfort is additionally improved, and that for the disabled (eg.

Wheelchair users) the multi-deck elevator can be used at all.

A further embodiment of the invention consists in that a destination input made by a passenger by means of the floor destination input device arranged on at least one of the floors, which relates to a destination floor which can not be reached by the passenger deck to which the destination input floor is assigned during normal operation, is

Control device so influenced that a passenger deck of the multi-deck elevator cab on the Targets input stall stops on which the passenger can reach his destination floor. The term "destination input storey" in the present description refers to a floor of the building on which a passenger has arrived at the elevator installation and enters a destination selection via the floor destination input device assigned to this floor.

The embodiment of the invention described above has the advantage that an authorized passenger from each destination input floor can also directly reach destination floors, which are not accessible by the passenger deck of the multi-deck elevator cabin, which is assigned the destination input floor in normal operation. For example, in arrangements of Mehrdeckkabinenaufzügen a top floor of a building can not be approached by a lowermost passenger deck and a lowermost floor not from a top passenger deck, because for the car lane or the elevator shaft are too short. However, for the solution proposed here, the restriction may be that it is impossible to reach the top floor on the same passenger deck from the lowest floor. Also in this embodiment of the invention, the passenger deck to which the destination entry floor is assigned in normal operation may also stop at the destination entry floor before or after the destination entry floor is a current destination floor for said passenger deck or if there is a call for said passenger deck on the destination entry floor ,

A further embodiment of the invention is that the at least one

Multi deck cabin lift on at least one of the passenger decks of the multi deck elevator car is equipped with a stop floor indicator which indicates which one

Passenger decks are currently registered for a stop on which floors.

This ensures that a passenger can still find out in the multi-deck elevator car whether a stop on his destination floor is provided, and whether he must change to another passenger deck, so that he can get off this other passenger deck on the destination floor of his chosen ,

A further embodiment of the invention is that the at least one

Multi-deck elevator on at least one of the passenger decks of the multi-deck elevator car is equipped with a car-destination input device that allows the passengers on said passenger deck to enter a destination floor.

This ensures that a passenger can enter a destination floor later, for example, if he has failed before boarding the multi-deck elevator car, or if it recognizes on the destination display device that its destination floor has not been registered.

A further embodiment of the invention is that at least in the area of the cabin destination input device there is a car detection device which can recognize a specific authorization of a passenger, wherein a destination input of a correspondingly authorized passenger via the car destination input device

Control device influenced so that the passenger deck of Mehrdeckauf zugskabine on which the authorized passenger has made the destination input, even on the destination input corresponding destination floor stops, if this floor is not assigned to said passenger deck in normal operation.

This ensures that the disadvantages resulting from the fact that each passenger deck in normal operation only assigned to him for the purpose of optimizing the transport capacity

Floors stops, even for authorized passengers (eg V.I.P. s) are avoided, who want to make a destination after entering the multi-deck elevator car.

In addition, it facilitates the use of the multi-deck elevator for the disabled (eg wheelchair users) of the multi-deck elevator.

A further embodiment of the invention consists in that the multi-deck elevator cabin has at least one elevator car staircase between adjacent passenger decks, via which elevator car stairs passengers within the multi-deck elevator cabin can reach the respectively adjacent passenger deck from each passenger deck.

This ensures that each passenger can change to another passenger deck after boarding one of the passenger decks of the multi-deck elevator car, if this is necessary so that he can get off this passenger deck on the destination floor selected by him.

A further embodiment of the invention consists in that the multi-deck lift cabin has at least one lift device between adjacent passenger decks, by means of which lift device passengers within the multi-deck lift cabin can be transported from each passenger deck to the respectively adjacent passenger deck.

This ensures that a required change to another passenger deck for the passenger concerned is effortless and comfortable feasible and even for a disabled passenger in a wheelchair is feasible. A further embodiment of the invention is that the elevator system is designed so that at least from one of the floors of a passenger after his destination input can reach a passenger deck of Mehrdeckauizugskabine not the destination input floor, but the input destination floor is assigned to by an adjacent floor or adjacent passenger deck access of the building, and that the passenger information device located in the floor destination input section of the destination input floor informs each passenger who has made a destination input, in addition to the information about the possibility of a passenger deck change within the multi-deck car cabin, to which of the floors or passenger deck accesses of the building he should go before boarding, so that he can get on the passenger deck, which is assigned to his destination floor, or on the his destination input corresponding n stop the destination floor.

Passenger deck accesses that are not assigned to real floors, for example, within a sufficiently high main access floor each one of the n

Passenger decks assigned to Mehrdeckauizugskabine assigned. For example, one of the passenger deck accesses can be arranged at the level of the main access floor, wherein at least one further passenger deck access is present on a pedestal in the main access floor in the area of the at least one further passenger deck of the multi-deck elevator cabin holding on the main access floor. The at least one passenger deck access arranged on a pedestal can be reached via at least one building staircase or at least one escalator from the level of the main access floor. Alternatively, from a normal destination entry floor, a passenger may reach a passenger deck of the multi-deck elevator cabin associated with his destination floor by entering via building stairs or escalators to a floor of the building adjacent to the destination input floor to access the passenger deck access provided there and associated with said passenger deck the said passenger deck the

Boarding multi-deck cab.

With this embodiment of the invention is achieved that the passengers of the elevator system in addition to the possibility of changing the passenger deck within the Mehrdeckauizugskabine also have the ability to change the passenger deck before boarding

make. If sufficient time is available between the destination input and the arrival of the multi-deck elevator car on the destination input floor, it is likely to be advantageous for the passenger to go to the passenger deck access associated with the assigned passenger deck prior to boarding the multi-deck elevator cab to avoid time constraints in the required passenger deck change within the passenger deck To avoid multi-deck lift cab. Conveniently, therefore, the present in the area of the floor destination input device passenger information device can also inform about the time available for the arrival of Mehrdeckaufzugskabine time, or they can the output of the information regarding the possible before boarding passenger deck change each time before the arrival of Mehrdeckaufzugskabine exit the destination input storey.

An elevator installation according to the invention may also comprise a group of two or more elevators, of which at least one is a multi-deck elevator with a lift

Multi deck elevator cab is. In such a case, the elevator control is preferably designed as a group control, with the additional function added to the elevator functions described above being that the passenger information device on the destination input floor allocates the elevator to the elevator group to each passenger with which it reaches its destination floor as quickly as possible.

Embodiments of the invention are explained in more detail in the following description with reference to the accompanying drawings, wherein corresponding elements in the

Description as well as in the drawings with matching reference numerals. Show it:

1 shows an elevator installation with a double-deck elevator cabin in an excerptional, schematic illustration according to an embodiment of the invention;

1 shows an elevator installation arranged in an elevator shaft 2 of a multi-storey building 10A-10F in an excerptional, schematic representation according to an exemplary embodiment of the invention. The elevator system is designed as a multi-deck elevator 1 and includes a multi-deck elevator cab 3, the present Embodiment, a lower passenger deck 7A and 7B has an upper passenger deck. The multi-deck elevator car 3 moves along a hoistway 2, being driven by a prime mover 4 via a traction sheave 5 and support means 6 and positioned so that at least one of the passenger decks 7A, 7B faces one of the floors 10A-10F. About the suspension cables is the multi-deck elevator cab 3 with a

Balancing weight 17 is connected, which serves to generate the necessary traction between the traction sheave and the support cables and at the same time compensates for a part of the weight of the multi-deck elevator car.

Lift systems according to the invention may also include multi-deck lift cabins with more than two passenger decks. In certain embodiments of multi-deck elevators, the vertical distance between the individual passenger decks may be controllable

Adjustment be changed so that these multi-deck lift cabins can operate in buildings with different floor distances.

In order to achieve the highest possible conveying capacity of the elevator installation, the elevator installation is controlled so that in normal operation each of the passenger decks 7A, 7B only stops at floors 10A-10F assigned to it, which are each spaced apart by two storey intervals. 1 shows a multi-deck elevator cab 3 stopped in normal operation, with the lower passenger deck 7A of which the floor IOC and its upper passenger deck 7B the floor 10D are assigned. In normal operation, at the next lower holding position of the multi-deck elevator cabin, lower floor 7A would have floor 10A and upper passenger deck 7B would have floor 10B, and at the next higher hold position, lower floor 7A would have floor 10E and upper floor deck floor 10F. For multi-deck lifts, whose

Multi-deck elevator cabins comprising more than three passenger decks, for example n passenger decks, in normal operation each of the passenger decks only holds them assigned to it

Levels, each spaced by n floor distances from each other.

The multi-deck lift cabin 3 is configured such that passengers within the multi-deck lift cabin can reach each of the passenger decks 7A, 7B. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, an elevator car staircase 9 is integrated for this purpose between the two passenger decks 7A and 7B, via which passengers can move from the lower passenger deck 7A to the upper passenger deck 7B or from the upper passenger deck 7B to the lower passenger deck 7A. In another embodiment of the multi-deck elevator cab can these instead of the elevator car stairs 9 include an integrated elevator device, or have both an elevator car stairs and an elevator device.

Each of the passenger decks 7A, 7B of the multi-deck carcass 3 is provided with an associated elevator car door 8A, 8B. The hoistway has on each of the floors 10A-10F passenger deck accesses 11A-11F which cooperate with the elevator car doors 8A, 8B of the multi-deck elevator cab 3. In the situation shown in Fig. 1, the passenger deck access 1 IC cooperates with the elevator car door 8A and the passenger deck access 11D with the elevator car door 8B to allow passengers access to the passenger decks 7A and 7B as well as exit from these passenger decks

Mehrdeckauizugskabine in the area of the floors IOC and 10D to which said passenger deck accesses are assigned, has stopped. Furthermore, building doors 15A-15F are shown, via which, preferably from each floor 10A-10F, a staircase with the building stairs 16A-16F can be reached. On each of the floors of these 16A-16F staircase, the upper and lower adjacent floors are accessible from each of the floors, although this of course does not apply to the uppermost and lowermost floors. This allows a passenger, for example, from the floor IOC - which forms, for example, a main entrance floor - on the floor 10D to get on the passenger deck 7B of Mehrdeckauizugskabine 3, if he knows that on the floor IOC arriving or waiting passenger deck 7A not on will stop at its destination floor. Instead of connecting each of the two adjacent floors building stairs 16A-16F may - preferably in the range of main access floors - escalators or other elevators be present.

On each of the floors 10A-10F, at least one landing target input device 20A-20F and passenger information device 21A-21F are mounted. The floor destination input device allows each passenger to input a destination floor from his destination input floor before entering the multi-deck elevator cab 3, and usually before the multi-deck elevator cab has arrived at its destination input floor. As already explained in the description of the design options, in the context of the present description, the term "destination input floor" always means a floor of the building to which a passenger has arrived at the Auizugsanlage and on the floor assigned to this floor destination input device inserted a one-touch dial , The passenger information devices 21A-21F serve to inform each passenger who has made a destination input to which of the passenger decks 7A, 7B of the

Multi-deck cabin lift 1 After entering the multi-deck lift cab, it should move to get off on its destination floor. With existing funds in buildings - for example, building stairs 16A-16F or corresponding escalators - the information facilities can inform the passenger in addition, which neighbor floor he can alternatively go before boarding, so he can also directly reach his destination floor on the persisting passenger deck there. Advantageously, this information would be issued only as long as before the arrival of Mehrdeckauizugskabine sufficient time for such a floor change is available.

Furthermore, the elevator installation 1 comprises a control device 18 which, at least on the basis of the destination inputs made by the passengers, controls at least the travel movements of the at least one multi-deck elevator cabin 3, wherein the control device

Signal lines 30, 31, 32 to the prime mover 4, at least to the floor destination input devices 20A-20F, the passenger information devices 21A-21F, and to the stop floor display devices 26A, 26B and car destination input devices 25A mounted on each of the passenger decks 7A, 7B , 25B is connected. The control device 18 can in this case be stationary with respect to the building or also be arranged wholly or partly on the multi-deck brewing cabin 3.

In the area of the floor destination input devices 20A-20F there are detection devices 22A-22F which can recognize at least one specific authorization of a passenger. If an appropriately authorized passenger on a floor enters a destination input into a floor destination input device 20A-20F, the control device 18 is influenced such that the passenger deck to which the authorized passenger has moved from the said floor is then on his destination input appropriate

Destination floor stops, if this floor in normal operation is not the named

Passenger deck is assigned.

In the Mehrdeckauizugskabine 3, which is designed so that passengers within the

At least one holding floor display device 26A, 26B is arranged on each of the passenger decks, with which the passengers present on the corresponding passenger deck are informed about which passenger decks of the multi-deck elevator cabin stop on which floors become. This gives each passenger the opportunity to check that he is on the correct passenger deck and, if that is not the case, to change the passenger deck within the multi-deck elevator car.

In the embodiment according to FIG. 1, on each of the passenger decks 7A, 7B there is also at least one car destination input device 25A, 25B, by means of which a passenger can also enter a destination floor from one of the passenger decks of the multi-deck elevator car, if he does not previously do so on his destination input floor or if he recognizes on the stopping floor indicator that his destination floor has not been registered for any reason or if he wishes to change his destination.

In the following, the mode of operation of an elevator installation according to FIG. 1 with at least one multi-deck elevator in different operating situations will be explained.

In a first example, a passenger in a building with a single multi-deck elevator l intends to be transported from his destination entry floor 10A to his destination floor IOC. At the floor destination input device 20A on the destination input floor 10A, it inputs the destination floor IOC. The passenger information device 21 A assigns to it the lower passenger deck 7 A of the multi-deck elevator car 3, to which in normal operation both the destination input floor 10 A and the destination floor IOC are assigned. In this case, since the lower passenger deck 7A holds in normal operation and in the presence of a call on the floor 10A, the passenger can directly access the lower floor from his destination input floor

Passenger deck 7A board the multi-deck elevator cabin, which transports him to his destination floor IOC and get out there.

If, on the other hand, the passenger wants to be transported from his destination landing floor 10A to his destination floor 10D, and therefore inputs his destination floor 10D to the input device 4A, he is assigned the upper passenger deck 7B because the floor 10D is assigned to this passenger deck during normal operation. The passenger is informed by the passenger information device 21 A that he should go inside the multi-deck elevator car 3 from the lower passenger deck 7 A via the elevator car stairs 9 on the upper passenger deck 7 B to get off directly on his destination floor 10D can.

If between the floors of the building building stairs or escalators are present, the passenger information device 21 A may recommend to the passenger as an advantageous alternative, before boarding the multi-deck elevator cabin from the floor 10A for adjacent floor 10B to go there to board the passenger deck 7B. This recommendation is advantageously displayed as long as sufficient time is available for a floor change until the arrival of the multi-deck elevator car 3.

For passengers whose corresponding authorization has been recognized by the detection device 22A-22F arranged in the area of the floor destination input devices 20A-20F during the destination input, the control device 18 can switch from normal operation - ie. H. from the fixed assignment of each second floor to each one of the two passenger decks 7A, 8A - differ. In one possible embodiment of the invention, an authorized passenger is assigned in this case that passenger deck 7A, 7B which, in normal operation, stops on the floor on which it has entered its destination floor. Notwithstanding the normal operation, the control device 18 now causes the passenger deck, to which the authorized passenger has boarded, to stop even on the destination floor corresponding to the destination input, if this destination floor is not assigned to said passenger deck in normal operation.

For an authorized passenger, for example, would like to get from the floor 10A on the floor 10D, then the following situation arises. First, the authorized passenger inputs the destination floor 10D via the destination entry means 20A. In this case, the detection device 22A recognizes the passenger who operates the destination in a suitable manner as an authorized passenger. As a result, the control device 18 is influenced in such a way that the lower passenger deck 7A stops on the floor 10A assigned to it, receives the authorized passenger and - deviating from normal operation - stops on the destination floor 10D of the authorized passenger not assigned to it in normal operation and has it disembark. In the presence of a corresponding other destination or destination input for the upper passenger deck 7B on the same floor 10D, the controller 18 may also previously stop the upper passenger deck 7B of the multi-deck elevator car on the floor 10D.

In a further possible embodiment of the invention is in the above

described situation assigned to an authorized passenger that passenger deck 7A, 7B, which in normal operation is not the destination input storey on which he

Has entered the destination floor. However, this passenger deck is assigned to the entered destination floor in normal operation. The control device 18 now causes the passenger deck thus assigned-unlike normal operation-to stop on the destination input floor of the authorized passenger and pick it up. The authorized passenger then reaches his destination floor by placing the passenger deck on which he is located on the Normal operation of said passenger deck associated floor stops.

In this possible embodiment of the invention, the following situation arises for an authorized passenger who, for example, wants to get to floor 10D from floor 10A. First, the authorized passenger inputs the destination floor 10D via the destination entry means 20A. In this case, the detection device 22A recognizes the passenger who operates the destination in a suitable manner as an authorized passenger. This will be the

Control device 18 is influenced so that the upper passenger deck 7B stops on the non-assigned in normal operation him floor 10A and receives the authorized passenger. If a corresponding other destination or a further destination input for the lower passenger deck 7A is present, the control device 18 can subsequently also let the lower passenger deck 7A of the multi-deck elevator cabin stop on the floor 10A. After at least one ride, the passenger deck 7B with the authorized passenger stops on the latter

Passenger deck in normal operation assigned floor 10D and leaves the authorized passenger on his destination floor 10D.

Mehrdeckkabinenaufzug 1 is arranged and as Mehrdeckkabinenaufzug or as

Can be executed Eindeckkabinenaufzug. Preferably, the two elevators form an elevator group which is controlled by a so-called group control. The elevator installation according to FIG. 2 has, in one possible configuration, on each of the floors, of which only the floors 2A-2C are shown in FIG. 2 in order to simplify the illustration, in each case two elevator doors, which in the present description are passenger deck accesses I IA , 11A.1, I IB, 1 IB.1 and HC, HCl, via which access to the passenger decks of the multi-deck elevators 3, 3.1, and possibly other elevator cars is possible. The illustrated two multi-deck elevators 3, 3.1 are independently movable. For this purpose, a common group control device 18.1 is provided. The passenger information devices 21A, 21A.1, 21B, 21B.1, 21C, 21C.1 arranged in the area of the floor destination input devices 20A, 20A.1, 20B, 20B.1, 20C, 20C.1 show each passenger who has made a destination input to which elevator 1, 1.1 or which

Passenger deck access I IA, 11A.1, I IB, 11B.1 and HC, HCl of the group he should take to quickly reach his destination as possible, and - if the elevator to be used is a multi-deck elevator - on which passenger deck 7A, 7B or 7A.1, 7B.1 of the assigned multi-deck lift cabin 3, 3.1, after entering the multi-deck lift bine to arrive on this passenger deck on its destination floor.

As long as sufficient time is available until the arrival of the assigned elevator car, the passenger information device 21 A may additionally have a passenger on the

Destination input floor 2A inform that he should enter via the passenger deck access I IA or the passenger deck access 11A.1 preferably via the passenger deck access I IB or the passenger deck access 1 IB.1 of the adjacent floor 2B, to which he shown the building doors 15A and building stairs shown in FIG 16A should use. Authorized passengers enjoy the same preferences with respect to deviations from normal operation in the allocation of passenger decks in the elevator system shown here, but with the additional known advantages offered by an elevator group.

By way of example, a possible interaction of such a detection means 23 with one of the detection devices 22A-22F is shown, which cooperation particularly serves to recognize a specific authorization of a passenger in the area of one of the floor destination input devices 20A-20F. The floor destination input devices 20A-20F may, for example, comprise a 1-O-keypad by means of which a destination floor is to be entered. The passenger information devices 21A-21F may be configured as a screen. Here, an integrative embodiment in the form of a touch-sensitive screen is possible in which the floor destination input device and the passenger information device are combined. Further, as shown in FIG. 3, those present in the areas of the floor destination input devices 20A-20F are shown

Detection means 22A-22F cooperate with the detection means 23 to

Authorizations of the passengers, wherein the wireless communication between the detection means 22A-22F and the detection means 23 is illustrated by the double-headed arrow.

For detecting an authorization of a passenger, a detection device may preferably comprise an RFID system (radio-frequency identification). An RFID system consists of a transponder forming the detection means 23, which contains a characterizing code and which in the present application preferably carries the authorized passenger, and a reading device forming the detection means 22A-22F for reading out this identifier. RFID transponders can be as small as a grain of rice. The advantages of this technology result from the combination of the small size, the inconspicuous readout option and the low price of the transponder. This new technology can potentially replace today's widely used bar code. The coupling between the reader and the transponder is done by the magnetic field generated by the reader or by high-frequency

Radio waves. This not only transmits data but also powers the transponder. The reader contains a software that controls the actual reading process, and an RFID middleware with interfaces to other computer systems and databases.

Via the passenger information devices 21A-21F, the passengers - in particular the authorized passengers - can be displayed, for example by way of a graphical representation, all the information which the passengers receive from the elevator installation as described above in order to use the appropriate elevator of an elevator group after getting in the multi-deck elevator car to the right

Passenger deck to go or even before getting on building stairs or other aids to the right passenger deck associated floor.

The invention is not limited to the described embodiments and modifications.
