Description

  The present invention relates to an elevator control device that controls operation of an elevator, for example.

  In the conventional elevator control device, if the door is closed when loading and unloading the load, the operation cannot be smoothly performed and it is dangerous. Therefore, for the purpose of extending the door opening time from the normal time, a door opening extension button is installed on the operation panel in the car, and the door opening time is increased by operating this door opening extension button during the door opening. Some have the door opening extension function to make it longer.

  In addition, there is an elevator that does not have a door opening extension button and switches from normal operation to dedicated operation to handle loading and unloading of luggage. The normal operation is an operation procedure in which the door is opened once when the elevator arrives at a predetermined floor due to a landing call or the like, but the door is automatically closed when a predetermined time (about 2 to 4 seconds) elapses. When this door is closed, the elevator moves in response to any landing call. On the other hand, the exclusive operation is an operation procedure in which the door of the elevator continues to stand by without being closed until the door closing button in the elevator car is pressed.

In addition, the personal identification information of the person who made the advance call is confirmed at the platform or in the car, so that the person who made the advance call to receive the dedicated driving service can receive the service reliably (for example, Patent Document 1).

Here, the predetermined operation procedure is information that records, for example, an opening / closing procedure of an elevator car door. As an example of the predetermined operation procedure, when an elevator is used for moving work or the like, an operation procedure in which the door opening time is made longer than usual in response to loading and unloading of the luggage can be cited. Further, as another example of the predetermined operation procedure, there is an operation procedure in which the elevator door is kept on waiting until the door closing button 101b in the elevator car is pressed. Below, the predetermined | prescribed driving | running procedure in which the user is specified is called exclusive driving | operation. A plurality of predetermined operation procedures (dedicated operation) can be set, and an operation start time, an operation end time, and a user can be set for each predetermined operation procedure (dedicated operation). On the other hand, the operation procedure of the elevator at the normal time when the user is not specified is referred to as normal operation. In normal operation, for example, when an elevator arrives at a predetermined floor due to a landing call or the like, the door opens once, but the door automatically closes after a predetermined time (about 2 to 4 seconds). .
The operation start time and the operation end time are time information expressed in the year, month, day, hour and minute, but only the date may be set. When set according to the date, midnight is the start time or end time. The user information is information that can identify the user, and includes, for example, a room number of a hotel or apartment such as “Room 203”. The user information may be information indicating a specific moving company or the like. User information may specify an individual by name, address, and the like.

  The information setting unit 210 receives a predetermined operation procedure (dedicated operation), an operation start time, an operation end time, and user information input by an elevator administrator or the like, and stores the received various information in the schedule storage unit 211. . For example, an elevator administrator uses an external device such as a monitoring panel or a portable terminal connected to the elevator control device 200 as an input device, and provides a service by an operation start time and an operation end time for performing a dedicated operation, and a dedicated operation. Enter the user information of the receiving user. The information setting unit 210 that has received the input stores a predetermined operation procedure, an operation start time, an operation end time, and user information in the schedule storage unit 211.

  The clock 220 is a device that measures time, and inputs an instructed time (current time) to the schedule control unit 230 in accordance with an instruction from the schedule control unit 230. Further, the current time is also input to the display information control unit 270 described later.

  The schedule control unit 230 compares the operation start time for starting the dedicated operation stored in the schedule storage unit 211 by the information setting unit 210, the operation end time for ending the dedicated operation, and the time indicated by the clock 220, and the current time is It is determined whether it is within the schedule set time (within a predetermined time from the operation start time to the operation end time). The schedule control unit 230 inputs the determined result to the operation control unit 240.

  The personal identification information input unit 260 acquires personal identification information obtained from the personal authentication device 102a installed in the elevator car 100 or the personal authentication device 102b installed in the hall. The personal identification information input unit 260 inputs the acquired personal identification information to the user identification unit 250. The content of the personal identification information is in principle the same content as the above-mentioned user information, for example, information specifying an individual such as a room number. A user of the elevator can input personal identification information to the personal identification information input unit 260 by holding a card key or the like on which personal identification information for identifying an individual is held over the personal authentication device 102.

  The user identification unit 250 acquires user information from the schedule storage unit 211 and determines whether or not the acquired user information matches the personal identification information input from the personal identification information input unit 260. The determined result is input to the operation control unit 240.

Based on the result determined by the schedule control unit 230 and the result (detection result) determined by the user identification unit 250, the operation control unit 240 determines whether to drive the elevator car 100 by dedicated operation or normal operation. To decide. If it is decided to drive by exclusive operation, the elevator car 100 is driven by exclusive operation. When it is determined that the vehicle is to be driven by normal driving, the elevator car 100 is driven by a normal driving procedure.
The schedule control unit 230 determines that the current time is within a predetermined time (from the operation start time to the operation end time) stored in the schedule storage unit 211, and the user identification unit 250 uses the current elevator. When it is determined that the user who is driving is a user who drives by the dedicated driving (the user information and the personal identification information match), the driving control unit 240 operates the elevator car 100 by the dedicated driving. Control to drive.

  The display information control unit 270 displays a message created based on information such as the operation start time, operation end time, and user information stored in the schedule storage unit 211 by the information setting unit 210. By displaying the message, other users who do not need to drive by exclusive driving are informed and notified that the exclusive driving is in progress. For example, the display period for displaying the operation information may be always displayed during the period in which the dedicated operation is performed.

Alternatively, it causes the computer to execute the procedure of “to part” described below.

  Next, an example of an operation when the elevator control device 200 according to the present embodiment shifts to a dedicated operation will be described with reference to FIG.

As a premise of the operation to shift to the dedicated operation, the elevator control device 200 stores a predetermined operation procedure (dedicated operation procedure), operation start time, operation end time, and user information in the schedule storage unit 211 ( It is assumed that the schedule input process has already been performed. In addition, the following processing is started with a personal identification information input process in which a user inputs personal identification information using the personal authentication device 102 as a trigger, and the current time is input from the clock 220. It is assumed that the time input process is completed.
First, the operation control unit 240 determines whether or not the operation is performed by the dedicated operation in S101 (operation confirmation process). When the operation is not performed by the dedicated operation (in the case of No), the process proceeds to S102 (schedule determination process), and the schedule control unit 230 determines a predetermined value from the operation start time and the operation end time stored in the schedule storage unit 211. It is determined whether driving within the driving procedure is within the set schedule time. If the operation is performed according to a predetermined operation procedure (in the case of Yes), the process proceeds to step S107, and it is determined whether to return to normal operation.

  In step S102 (schedule determination process), the schedule control unit 230 compares the operation start time and operation end time of the predetermined operation procedure set in the schedule with the current time acquired from the clock 220, and the current time is the schedule setting time. If (Yes), the process proceeds to step S103 (personal identification information determination process). If not (No), the process is terminated and normal operation is continued.

  In step S103 (personal identification information determination processing), the user identification unit 250 obtains personal identification information (for example, a room number) obtained from the personal authentication device 102 and user information (for example, a room) set by the information setting unit 210. Number) is matched. If they match (Yes), the process proceeds to step S104. If they do not match (in the case of No), the process is terminated and normal operation is continued.

  In step S104 (verification place determination process), the operation control unit 240 obtains the personal identification information collated in step S103 from the personal authentication device 102a installed in the elevator car 100, or the individual installed at the landing. It is determined whether it is obtained by the authentication device 102b. When the personal identification information is obtained from the personal authentication device 102a installed in the elevator car 100, the process proceeds to step S106 (operation start processing) and shifts to operation according to a predetermined operation procedure. Otherwise (if collated by the personal authentication device 102b installed at the landing, in the case of No), the process proceeds to step S105 (collation floor movement process), and the elevator control device 200 sets the elevator to the personal authentication device 102b. Move / service to the floor (hereinafter referred to as the verification floor). After moving to the verification floor and confirming the service (in the case of Yes), the process proceeds to step S106 (operation start process) and shifts to operation according to a predetermined operation procedure.

  Next, the flowchart (S107-S108) at the time of returning to a normal driving | operation procedure is demonstrated.

  In step S107, the operation control unit 240 determines whether or not to return to normal operation. When the schedule control unit 230 determines that it is not within the predetermined time for performing the dedicated operation (in the case of Yes), the schedule control unit 230 moves to step S108 and returns to the normal operation. Even when the user identification unit 250 determines that the personal identification information input by the personal identification information input unit 260 does not match any of the user information stored in the schedule storage unit 211, the process moves to step S108 and is normally performed. Return to driving. If the conditions for performing the dedicated operation are complete (in the case of No), the dedicated operation is continued.

  In addition, as a condition for returning to normal operation, it can be set as a condition whether or not the completion of the elevator door closing has been verified. If it is determined that the door closing completion has been verified, the process proceeds to step S108, and the routine returns to normal operation. If it is determined that the door closing completion has not been verified, the process is terminated and the operation by the dedicated operation is performed. continue. This is because the user may carry in luggage, etc. until the door is closed, and the user will be confused if the operation by the exclusive operation is canceled immediately after the operation end time has passed. This is also possible.

  According to the elevator control device 200 according to the present embodiment, the information setting unit 210 sets the time zone for driving according to a predetermined driving procedure and operates the elevator, so without installing the door extension button, If necessary, a driving service according to a predetermined driving procedure (dedicated driving) can be received.

In step S203, the user identifying unit 250 determines whether or not the personal identification information (for example, the room number) obtained from the personal authentication device 102a or the personal authentication device 102b matches. In step S205, the operation control unit 240 collates whether or not the elevator car 100 is serving the floor (operating floor) stored in the schedule storage unit 211. If they match (in the case of Yes), the process proceeds to step S206 and shifts to dedicated operation. If they do not match (in the case of No), the process proceeds to step S207, and the operation control unit 240 determines whether or not to return to normal operation.

In step S207, in addition to the determination process in step S108 described in the first embodiment, the operation control unit 240, for example, sets all levels set in the schedule storage unit 211 during the dedicated operation as a condition for returning to the normal operation. It is determined whether door closing completion is detected at the set operation floor. When the door closing is completed (in the case of Yes), the process proceeds to step S208, and the elevator control device 200 returns the operation of the elevator to the normal operation. Otherwise (in the case of No), the process is terminated and the exclusive operation is performed. continue.

  Therefore, if the elevator control device 200 according to the present embodiment is used, the time zone for performing the dedicated operation is set, the individual who receives the dedicated operation service is specified, and the dedicated operation is performed only on the set operation floor. Without installing the door extension button, a dedicated operation service can be received on the floor where the person who needs it can prevent the deterioration of the service of the entire building.

Or collate. If the personal identification information and the user information match (in the case of Yes), the process proceeds to step S304, and it is determined whether the check is performed in the elevator car 100. If the personal identification information does not match the user information (in the case of No), the process is terminated and the normal operation is continued.
In step S304, it is determined whether the personal identification information collated in step S303 is obtained from the personal authentication device 102a installed in the elevator car 100 or the personal authentication device 102b installed in the landing. When the personal identification information is obtained from the personal authentication device 102a installed in the elevator car 100, the process proceeds to step S305, where the operation control unit 240 stores the operation elevator information stored in the schedule storage unit and the personal identification. It is determined whether or not the elevator to which information is input matches. If the driving elevator information matches the elevator to which the personal identification information is input, the process proceeds to step S308, where the operation is shifted to a dedicated operation. Otherwise, the process is terminated and the normal operation is continued.

  If it is determined in step S304 that personal identification information has been input by the personal authentication device 102b installed at the landing (in the case of No), the driving control unit 240 stores the driving elevator stored in the schedule storage unit 211 in step S306. The designated elevator designated by the information is dispatched to the installation floor (collation floor) of the collated personal authentication device 102b.

  In step S307, the operation control unit 240 determines whether or not the designated elevator has arrived at the installation floor (verification floor) of the personal authentication device 102b, and determines that the user has boarded (provided service) (step S307). In the case of Yes in 307), the process proceeds to step S308 and shifts to a dedicated operation. When it is determined that the user is not on board (not in service) (in the case of No), the process waits until the user gets on the designated elevator and repeats until boarding is confirmed.

  In step S309, as in step S107 of the first embodiment, the operation control unit 240 detects whether the door closing is completed as a condition for returning to normal operation. When it is determined that the door closing is completed (in the case of Yes), the process proceeds to step S310, and the normal operation is resumed. Otherwise (in the case of No), the process is terminated and the dedicated operation is continued.

For example, when the schedule information is displayed three days before the dedicated operation is performed, “3 days” is stored. Furthermore, the information setting unit 210 sets and inputs the information display period in the schedule storage unit 211 using the input device 902.

  Further, the display information control unit 270 acquires the operation start time and the information display period from the schedule storage unit 211, and acquires the current time from the clock 220, whereby the current time is before the operation start time, It is determined whether it is within the display period. The display information control unit 270 also determines whether or not the current time is within the dedicated operation period. When the display information control unit 270 determines that the current time is within the information display period before the operation start time, the display information control unit 270 creates predetermined message data to be displayed on the display device 103. The predetermined message data is text data for the elevator user to guide / notify the dedicated operation period and is created based on the schedule information stored in the schedule storage unit. For example, the operation start time is March 1, 2007 (Thursday) 9:00, the operation end time is March 1, 2007 (Thursday) 12:00, and the user who uses the dedicated operation is a moving company. In this case, a message that is easy for a user of the elevator to read and create the message, “March 1, 2007 (Thursday) 9: 00 to 12: 00 will be used for moving.” When the operation floor shown in the second embodiment and the driving elevator information shown in the third embodiment are in the schedule storage unit 211, those information may be added. For example, “March 1, 2007 (Thursday) 9: 00 to 12: 00 Use the elevator A to move on the 1st and 4th floors. During this period, the elevator may be delayed due to loading of luggage. You may create a message that says "Yes." The message data may be created in a predetermined format and stored in the schedule storage unit 211 in advance.

  After creating the message data, the display information control unit 270 displays the created message data on the display device 103. The display information control unit 270 displays the created message on the display device 103 at regular intervals until the operation start time when the elevator control device 200 starts the dedicated operation. While the exclusive operation is being performed, a message that indicates that the exclusive operation is being performed is created, and the message is output to the display device 103. For example, the display information control unit 270 outputs a message indicating that the dedicated operation is currently in progress, such as “Currently moving operation is in progress and the opening / closing time is extended.” When a user who performs a dedicated operation gets on the elevator, the personal identification information input from the personal identification information input unit 260 may be output to the display device 103. When displayed on the display device 103a in the elevator car 100, it can be confirmed that the user is carrying out a dedicated operation. From the display device 103b installed at the landing, it is possible to notify other users that dedicated driving is in progress. When the dedicated operation ends, the display display information control unit 270 discards / deletes the message data.

As in the first embodiment, the elevator control device 200 is premised on the operation for shifting to the dedicated operation, and the schedule storage unit 211 has a predetermined operation procedure (dedicated operation procedure), operation start time, operation end time, and use. The person information is stored, and further, the information display period indicating the period for displaying the information is stored.

  In step S <b> 401, the display information control unit 270 acquires the operation start time and information display period of the dedicated operation stored in the schedule storage unit 211, and acquires the current time from the clock 220. In step S402, the display information control unit 270 compares the acquired operation start time with the current time, and determines whether the current time is before the operation start time and within an information display period (for example, 3 days). To do. When the display information control unit 270 determines that it is within the information display period (in the case of Yes), the process proceeds to step S405. Otherwise (in the case of No), it is determined whether or not the dedicated operation is within the implementation period. Proceed to step S403. In step S403, the display information control unit 270 compares the operation start time and operation end time of the dedicated operation stored in the schedule storage unit 211 with the current time obtained from the clock 220, and the current time performs the dedicated operation. It is determined whether it is within the period. If it is within the period for performing the dedicated operation, the process proceeds to step S405. If not, a message is not created, or if a message is displayed, the message created in step S405 is deleted. When there is a message (current time, usage floor, etc.) displayed on the display device 103 at normal time, the message is displayed.

  When the processing proceeds to step S405, the display information control unit 270 creates a message based on the information stored in the schedule storage unit 211. For example, when the period for carrying out the exclusive operation is 1 March 2007 (Thursday) 9: 00 to 1 March 2007 (Thursday) 12:00, “March 1, 2007 (Thursday) 9:00 ~ 12: 00 will use the elevator for moving. " In step S406, the display information control unit 270 outputs the message created in step S405. When there is a message (current time, usage floor, etc.) displayed at normal time, the created message and the normal message may be displayed alternately.
