Description

  The present invention relates to an elevator system in which a user registers destination floor information before boarding an elevator, and is particularly suitable for a system using a multi-deck elevator.

  In recent years, double deck elevators in which two cars are connected in one hoistway are used in order to reduce the number of stops and improve transportation capacity. In double deck elevators, escalators are often installed from bottom to top because they are used on both the upper and lower car floors. However, since the two cars are connected, it is necessary to consider a stop by the other car, which limits the degree of freedom of the user. For this reason, it is desirable that a plurality of elevators be managed collectively, or that a user register a destination call before boarding.

  A landing destination floor input device is used to register a destination call before boarding, and automatic registration by a numeric keypad method, a destination floor button method, a card reader or the like is performed. And by registering the destination call before boarding, it is possible to distribute the user smoothly to the elevator, and the button operation in the car becomes unnecessary.

  To improve the carrying capacity of a single double-deck elevator with multiple cages serving multiple floors of the building simultaneously, which cage deck of the multi-cage should be assigned to passengers at the main stop point It is known to check and minimize the number of multi-cage stops and to direct passengers at the main stop point to their assigned cage deck and / or its main stop surface, for example, patents It is described in Document 1.

JP 2004-277177 A

  In the above-described prior art, it is not sufficient as guidance for getting into the car simply by indicating the car assigned to the car and / or each lobby floor as the main stop surface. For example, if an escalator is installed as a means of travel from the lower car lobby floor to the upper car lobby floor and the escalator is out of order, the user goes to the escalator and then searches for the stairs. There was a fear of doing. That is, there is insufficient information for moving from the entrances of the upper car lobby floor and the lower car lobby floor to the vicinity of the elevator doors, and the travel means for getting into the car.

In particular, in a system of double deck elevators with multiple hoistways, each of which is a double deck elevator, it is not sufficient to select and assign the optimum destination car among each car group of the double deck elevator. , Double deck elevator operation method depending on traffic conditions, for example, operation method using only one car (single deck operation), operation method that can service all the stopped floors except the top floor and the bottom floor in both upper and lower cars ( (Semi-double deck operation), according to the driving method (double deck operation) where the upper car operates on the even floor and the lower car operates on the odd floor. If you do not guide users to the car smoothly and accurately,
It is difficult to improve the transportation capacity of the entire elevator group by running in an empty car, re-registering the user, and increasing the waiting time for users on other floors.

  SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to solve the above-described problems of the prior art and to improve the conveying ability of the entire elevator group even in a multi-deck elevator group system, thereby improving convenience and driving efficiency.

  In order to solve the above-described problems, the present invention provides an elevator system including a multi-deck elevator in which a plurality of cars are connected in one hoistway, and is installed at a landing so that a user can input a destination floor. The destination destination floor input unit, the plurality of multi-deck elevators, and the operation of the plurality of multi-deck elevators are collectively managed, and a car is selected and registered for the destination floor input from the landing destination floor input unit. A group management control system that performs or displays information on advancing means required for a user to proceed to the registered car from the installation location of the landing destination floor input unit. .

  According to the present invention, a plurality of multi-deck elevators are managed in groups, a landing destination floor input unit for registering a destination floor at a landing is installed, and a traveling means required for proceeding to a registered car Since the information is displayed or notified, it is possible to improve convenience and driving efficiency without impairing the transport capability of the entire elevator group.

Hereinafter, description will be given with reference to the drawings. In addition, FIG. 1 shows a system having a plurality of double deck elevators in which two cars, an upper car and a lower car, are connected to one hoistway as a multi-deck elevator in which a plurality of cars are connected to one hoistway. It is.
The user inputs the destination floor before boarding by using the landing destination floor input unit 1 that is installed or portable at the landing. The landing destination floor input unit 1 includes a destination floor input unit 1a and a notification unit 1b. The destination floor input unit 1a includes a keypad, a touch panel, a destination floor button, and the like as a numeric keypad, and the notification unit 1b Display guidance using a liquid crystal monitor, indicator, etc., and voice guidance by announcement.

  In order to use the landing destination floor input unit 1, if it does not proceed smoothly to the vicinity of the elevator door 15 after being registered, the elevator will depart before the user arrives, and the user will re-enter the destination floor. The wasteful operation to register and the wasteful traveling in which the elevator performs service to the floor where no boarding or getting off occurs. For this reason, when the elevator doors are opened longer than usual on the lobby floor for waiting, the waiting time for users on other floors becomes longer, resulting in a decrease in operation efficiency of the entire building.

  Information on the destination floor is transmitted to the group management control system 7 via the input / output control system 2. Alternatively, only registration information of the user is transmitted from the landing, and is linked to a management unit including a large-scale storage device, for example, a building management server, via the input / output control system 2 and based on the received registration information of the user. Alternatively, the destination floor may be input to the group management control system via the input / output control system 2.

An escalator 12 is installed as a means of travel from the lower car lobby floor, which serves as the platform for the lower car (6ab, 6bb), to the lobby floor of the upper car, which serves as the platform for the upper car (6aa, 6ba). The destination floor input unit 1 links the group management control system 7 and the escalator control device.
The landing destination floor input unit 1 transmits the input destination floor of the user to the group management control system 7, and the group management control system 7 selects an optimal elevator from the traffic conditions that change from moment to moment (hereinafter, referred to as “the elevator”). (The selected elevator is the assigned elevator.) The group management control system 7 transmits information on the assigned car number to the landing destination floor input unit 1, and notifies the user of the assigned car number by the notification unit 1 b of the landing destination floor input unit 1. Thereby, the user can confirm the assigned elevator.

  Since the group management control system 7 and the escalator 12 are linked, an operation method switching signal from the group management control system 7 to the escalator control system 3 and a response signal required for the operation method are transmitted / received via the input / output control system 2. . Further, the current operation information is transmitted from the escalator control system 3 to the group management control system 7, and the operation system of the elevator is switched based on this information. In addition, as the advancing means required for proceeding to the car by the notification unit 1b, the current escalator usage status, that is, whether it can be used, whether it is being inspected, whether it is in a resting state, whether it is in a descent or ascending operation Such information is notified or displayed to the user, and it is possible to determine whether or not the escalator can be used before proceeding to the lobby floor.

  The escalator control system 3 mainly performs control such as speed control of the escalator, switching of the operation method for changing the operation in the upward direction and the operation in the downward direction, and shifting to the rest operation depending on the presence or absence of the user. In addition, although it is desirable to link with an external control system by the input / output control system 2, it is preferable to minimize signals used for a current driving status signal, a driving method switching signal, and the like.

  Unit control systems (4aa to 4bb) control the double deck elevators (5a and 5b), respectively, and one control system for each of the upper car (6aa and 6ba) and the lower car (6ab and 6bb). Is provided. In the configuration of FIG. 1, an upper car number control system (4aa, 4ba) and a lower car number control system (4ab, 4bb) are used. However, the upper and lower cars may be configured to distinguish the upper and lower cars within one unit control system.

  The operation management control system 7a in the group management control system 7 registers the destination floor by the destination floor registration processing unit 7aa from the destination floor information transmitted via the input / output control system 2, and determines a car assigned car to the destination floor. To do. The destination floor user count processing unit 7ab counts the number of users for each floor, and the traffic situation determination processing unit 7ac is obtained from the traffic situation obtained from the learning system 7b and the destination floor user count processing unit 7ab. The current traffic situation is judged based on the traffic situation.

  In addition, the learning system 7b learns the traffic situation every day based on the number of passengers at each car position or elevator information such as destination floor information. Recognize whether the number of passengers is large or low peak. Furthermore, the learning system 7b determines what kind of driving program is suitable at that time from the characteristics of the traffic situation. The characteristics of the traffic situation indicate the traffic situation divided by a certain number from the traffic information of down and up, and in the case of an office building, the traffic situation with a small number of passengers on both the up and down sides is quiet and the up situation is Large traffic conditions are called up-peaks, and traffic conditions with a large number of people getting on and off are called down-peaks. In addition, the characteristics of the traffic situation were collected according to the nature of the building, that is, the office building, housing equipment, complex commercial facility, or complex building, depending on the occupancy status, tenant placement, cafeteria location, etc. New features may be extracted from traffic conditions. When a new feature is extracted, it is generated and registered as a feature method unique to the building, and its change tendency is learned.

  In the driving system change processing unit 7ad, the double deck elevator is changed to a driving system that can be optimally managed according to the traffic situation determined by the traffic situation determination processing unit 7ac. For example, in the case of up-peak traffic conditions, the operation mode is switched to limit the stop floor. That is, an operation method (double deck operation) in which the upper car (6aa, 6ba) operates on the even floor and the lower car (6ab, 6bb) operates on the odd floor is used. In this operation method, the number of stops is reduced by restricting the stop floor, and the transportation capacity is improved while saving energy. When moving from the lobby floor to the destination floor, in FIG. 2, passengers using odd floors go straight to the lower car lobby floor 14, and passengers using even floors move to the upper car lobby floor 13. At that time, the escalator 12 provided in the hall and the stairs are used to proceed to the upper car lobby floor 13. However, the movement from the odd floor to the even floor and from the even floor to the odd floor is restricted due to the restriction of the stop floor.

If the traffic situation is judged to be quiet, switch to a driving method that uses only one car (single deck operation). As a result, the capacity of the car is only one car, the transport capacity is suitable for a quiet state, there is no restriction on the stop floor, and the operation is highly flexible. In addition, depending on traffic conditions etc., all the stop floors except the top floor and the bottom floor can be serviced in both the upper and lower cars (semi-double deck operation), semi-double deck operation only in the downward direction, the upper car is an even floor The lower car will be operated on an odd floor.
In each driving method, the transportation capacity and the degree of freedom are inversely proportional. Therefore, an optimum driving method for the traffic demand that changes every moment according to the current traffic demand is selected and varied by the traffic condition judgment processing unit 7ac and the driving method change processing unit 7ad of the group management control system 7. .

  The group management control system 7 changes the driving method from the state information obtained from the escalator control system 3. The status information includes information indicating availability, information on whether or not the inspection is being performed, information on the driving direction indicating whether the operation is descending or ascending, etc. The management control system 7 receives unusable information from the escalator control system 3. As a result, the usage status of the escalator is grasped, and if the escalator becomes unavailable, it becomes difficult for the user to proceed from the lobby floor to one of the cars, so switch to the single deck operation mode that does not use the escalator. .

  Based on the driving method according to the current traffic demand and the usage situation of escalators, the user is made uncomfortable when getting on the wrong floor or the wrong car in order to perform the optimal allocation to the user. Fear and increase in useless service in the empty basket. Therefore, it is necessary for people to flow smoothly, the user to reach before his / her assigned car, and for the user to surely get on his / her assigned car.

  The notifying unit 1b of the landing destination floor input unit 1 is information on the traveling means for the user to go to the assigned car based on the information indicating the current driving method in the group management control system 7 via the input / output control system 2. That is, guidance for prompting the use of the escalator 12 or the use of stairs is displayed or notified together with the assigned car. The guidance notification processing unit 7ae determines the content to be notified to the notification unit 1b of the landing destination floor input unit 1, and transmits the notification information to the landing destination floor input unit 1. The notification information includes assigned car information, information on advancing means for heading to the assigned car, information that prompts the use of stairs or escalators, information on the use status of escalators, and the like.

The escalator control information transmission unit 7af transmits to the escalator control system 3 command information such as an operation method change command in the upward direction, an operation method change command in the downward direction, and a pause operation command in accordance with the operation method of the double deck elevator. To do. Thereby, the flow of the user is smoothly performed, and the power consumption is suppressed by preventing unnecessary travel of the escalator 12.
For example, when the double deck elevator is a single deck operation system, a car is assigned so that the escalator 12 is not used. That is, since the use of the escalator 12 is not necessary, the escalator is switched to a rest operation to suppress useless travel.
Furthermore, when the driving method of the double deck elevator is the driving method at the time of a down peak, getting off to the lobby floor increases. Therefore, the escalator 12 is switched to the descending operation in order to make the flow of people smooth. Further, the above-described control is performed only when the escalator is operating normally.

  It takes about 1 second until the user inputs from the destination floor input unit 1a of the landing destination floor input unit 1 and confirms the group assigned car. However, if the content of the notification is complicated or difficult to understand, the flow of people will not be smooth, and there is a possibility that it will stay. For this reason, it is necessary to be able to easily and instantly understand the contents of the notifications audibly or visually.

  FIG. 2 shows the layout of the elevator system, and the user 10 inputs the destination floor of the user using the landing destination floor input device 11 installed before the landing of the escalator 12. After that, for the double deck elevator 16 constructed by connecting the counterweight 17, the upper car 16 a and the lower car 16 b up and down, information on the assigned car name and information on the traveling means to go to the assigned car is displayed or voiced. Etc.

  When assigned to the upper car 16a, the user 10 must be guided to the upper car lobby floor 13, so that the escalator 12 or guidance for prompting the use of the stairs when the escalator 12 is not installed is provided as information relating to the advancing means. Is displayed on the display 11 a installed in the landing destination floor input device 11. The display 11a may be installed in the vicinity of the landing destination floor input device 11. In addition, when assigned to the lower car 16b, it is not necessary to use the escalator 12, the stairs, the elevator provided to move to the lobby floor, etc. in order to proceed to the lower car lobby floor 14. Is displayed on the display 11 a installed in the landing destination floor input device 11.

  As for the notification of the assigned machine name and the progress means, the display on the display 11a installed in the landing destination floor input device 11 is taken as an example. For example, the notification by voice guidance such as an announcement or the landing destination floor input device 11 is used. In addition to the display 11a installed in the vehicle, guidance display by a liquid crystal display different from the landing destination floor input device 11 may be displayed, and further, it may be displayed on an information terminal held by the user.

  When displaying on the display 11 a installed in the landing destination floor input device 11, guidance such as the assigned car name and the traveling means is simultaneously displayed on one screen so that the user 10 can understand at a glance. Further, as the screen to be displayed, the assigned machine name is displayed by distinguishing colors and the like, a pattern display by a diagram of the progress means, etc., and a guide such as “Please use escalator” are displayed. In addition, this facilitates the flow of people, and after input to the landing destination floor input device 11, the user can instantly understand his assigned number and advancing means, and the user stays in front of the landing destination floor input device 11. Can be prevented.

  Fig. 3 is a view of the elevator from the landing. When assigning the assigned car display name, it is necessary to distinguish between the upper and lower cars, so the name type indicating the car is divided into the upper car lobby floor and the lower car lobby floor. It is displayed separately. The assigned car name indicating the upper car 20 is shown in alphabetical order, and the assigned car name showing the lower car 30 is represented by Greek numerals. Upper car No. 1 21 is indicated as “A”, upper car No. 2 as “B”, upper car No. 3 as “C”, lower car No. 1 as “I”, and lower car No. 2 as “II”. ", The lower car No. 3 machine 33 is indicated as" III ". In addition to the types of characters, a configuration in which the characters are distinguished by graphics, colors, or the like may be used.

  In FIG. 4, the example of a display on the display 11a at the time of assigning to the upper car No. 1 machine 21 is shown. When assigned to the upper car No. 1 21, it is displayed on one screen so that the positional relationship between the user and the landing destination floor input device, escalator, upper car lobby floor, lower car lobby floor, upper car, and lower car can be understood. Further, since the car name indicating the first car is “A”, the upper car displays “A” at the position 42 where the car is illustrated, and the user proceeds to the car like the guidance display 42. As a display of the means of travel required for this, guidance such as “please use escalator” is displayed in text. If the escalator cannot be used due to a failure, etc., a guidance such as “Please use the stairs” is displayed as a means of progress. Thereby, it is understood that the user must recognize the position of his / her assigned car and go to the upper lobby floor by displaying the progress means.

  Further, since the landing destination floor input unit 1, the group management control system 7, and the escalator control system 3 are linked, the notification unit 1b of the landing destination floor input unit 1, that is, the display 11a installed in the landing destination floor input device 11 is used. It is possible to display the current usage status of the escalator. On the contrary, it is desirable to display or notify the operation method of the double deck elevator to the notification unit 1b.

  FIG. 5 shows a display example on the display 11 a when assigned to the lower car No. 2 machine 32. When the lower car No. 2 is assigned, since the car name indicating the lower car No. 2 is “II”, “II” is displayed on the display 11a. The display name of the lower car No. 2 is displayed at a position 51 where the lower car of the double deck elevator is illustrated.

  FIG. 6 shows a display example when the escalator is in a resting state. When it is determined that the current traffic state is a quiet state, when the elevator operation mode is switched to the single deck operation, an assignment that does not require an escalator is performed. Therefore, guidance display is performed so that the user does not use the escalator. The assigned car is the lower car, and the display name of the lower car No. 2 is displayed at the position 61 where the lower car of the double deck elevator is illustrated, as in FIG. Further, in order to display the guidance that the escalator is in a paused state, the guidance display 62 displays a guidance such as “Escalator is currently paused”. In addition, “×” is displayed on a pattern simulating an escalator. Thereby, even if it is not a character, it displays so that it can understand that a progression means is unnecessary.

  FIG. 7 shows a display example when the escalator is unavailable. If the escalator is not available due to a failure, etc., a message such as “Please use stairs” is displayed. However, if there are no stairs nearby, there is no way for the user to go to the upper car lobby floor. In this case, too, as in the quiet state, the user switches to single deck operation that only provides services to the lobby floor, and the user moves to the escalator. The guidance is displayed so as not to use. The assigned car is the lower car, and the display name of the lower car No. 2 is displayed at a position 71 where the lower car of the double deck elevator is shown. Further, the guidance display 72 displays a guidance such as “The escalator is not currently available” in order to display a guidance that the escalator is unavailable.

FIG. 8 shows a display example when the escalator is in the descending operation state. If it is determined that the current traffic situation is in a down-peak state, the elevator operation mode is the operation mode with only one car in the ascending direction, and the descending direction is the operation on the even floor and the lower car on the odd floor. Do. In other words, switching between single-deck operation and double-deck operation for each direction increases the transport capacity in the downward direction, and the escalator also switches to the downward operation, thereby improving the transport capacity with smoother user flow.
In this case, the car assigned to the user from the lobby floor is the lower car, and the display name of the lower car No. 2 is displayed at the position 81 where the lower car of the double deck elevator is shown. Further, the guidance display 82 displays a guidance such as “the escalator is in the descending operation” in order to display the guidance that the escalator is in the descending operation.

  FIG. 9 shows a display example in a state where the escalator is being inspected. If the escalator is not available due to inspection, a message such as “Please use stairs” is displayed. However, if there are no stairs nearby, the user has no way to go to the upper car lobby floor, so in this case as well, the elevator operation mode is switched to single deck operation only for services to the lobby floor. Information is displayed so that the user does not use the escalator.

The assigned car becomes the lower car, and the display name of the lower car No. 2 is displayed at a position 91 where the lower car of the double deck elevator is illustrated. The guidance display 92 displays a guidance such as “The escalator is currently being inspected” in order to display a guidance that the escalator is not available for inspection.
As described above, according to traffic conditions and escalator driving conditions, switch to the optimal driving mode, and the user can instantly understand, so that the guidance display or voice notification that smoothes the flow of people is possible. Do.

A basic operation flow for changing the operation method will be described with reference to FIG.
ST01: It is determined whether a double deck elevator exists in the management target. If it exists, the process proceeds to ST02, and if it does not exist, the normal group management control operation is performed.
ST02: It is determined whether an escalator is installed. If it is installed, the process proceeds to ST03, and if it is not installed, the process ends.
ST03: From the information obtained from the escalator control system 3, it is determined whether or not the escalator can be used. If it is available, the process proceeds to ST04, and if the escalator is unavailable due to a failure or inspection, the process proceeds to ST0D.

  ST04: Determine traffic conditions. If it is determined that the traffic situation is up-peak, the process proceeds to ST05, and if it is not determined, the process proceeds to ST07.

ST05: The traffic situation is determined to be an up-peak, and it is expected that the number of users in the upward direction will increase. Therefore, double deck operation will be performed in which the upper car of the double deck elevator operates on the even floor and the lower car operates on the odd floor.
ST06: The traffic situation is determined to be up-peak, and the number of users using the escalator installation floor increases in the upward direction. Therefore, the escalator operation is switched to the upward operation.

ST07: Judge the traffic situation. If it is determined that the traffic situation is a down peak, the process proceeds to ST08, and if not, the process proceeds to ST0A.
ST08: The traffic situation is determined to be a down peak, and it is predicted that the number of users in the downward direction will increase. Therefore, only in the descending direction, an operation method is employed in which the upper car of the double deck elevator operates an even floor and the lower car operates an odd floor.
ST09: Since the traffic situation is determined to be a down peak and the number of users getting off the elevator on the escalator installation floor increases, the escalator operation is switched to the descent operation.

In ST0A, the traffic situation is determined. When it is determined that the traffic situation is normal, the process proceeds to ST0B, and when it is not determined, the process proceeds to ST0D.
ST0B: When the traffic situation is determined to be normal, the driving mode is switched to give priority to the degree of freedom for the user. In other words, the upper deck of the double deck elevator is operated on the lowest floor, and the lower car is operated on the floor other than the top floor.
ST0C: When it is determined that the traffic situation is normal, the escalator performs normal driving.

ST0D: When the traffic situation is quiet or the escalator is not available, the operation mode is switched to one in which only one car of the double deck elevator is operated so as not to use the escalator. Since the escalator is for proceeding to the upper car lobby level, only the lower car is operated.
ST0E: Since only one car is operated, the group management control system 7 transmits a signal for performing the sleep operation of the escalator to the escalator control system 3 via the input / output control system 2.

  ST0F: Usage guidance is performed as shown in FIG.

FIG. 11 is a basic operation flow of guidance display.
ST10: It is determined whether or not there is an input of the destination floor in the landing destination floor input device 11 installed at the landing. If there is an input, the process proceeds to ST11. If there is no input, the monitoring is continued until the destination floor is input.
ST11: The landing destination floor input device 11 transmits the destination floor information input from ST10 to the group management control system 7. The group management control system 7 is based on the current traffic situation and the driving method based on the received information. Then, select an optimal car with good operation efficiency and assign it.

ST12: It is determined whether the assigned car is an upper car or a lower car. If it is an upper car, the process proceeds to ST13, and if it is a lower car, the process proceeds to ST14.
ST13: The destination floor used for determination in ST15 is set as the upper car lobby floor.
ST14: The target floor used for determination in ST15 is set as the lower car lobby floor.

  ST15: The escalator determines whether or not the escalator is installed to proceed to the destination floor set in ST13 or 14. That is, the escalator checks whether it is for accessing the set floor.

If the escalator is the advancing means, go to ST16, otherwise go to ST17.
In the layout of FIG. 1, when the assigned car is the upper car, the target floor to be determined is determined to be the upper car lobby floor in ST13, and the escalator proceeds from the installation floor of the landing destination floor input device to the upper car lobby floor. In this case, the process proceeds to ST16.

ST16: On the display 11a installed on the landing destination floor input device 11, guidance for prompting the use of the escalator is displayed as shown in FIG. In ST17, the guidance of the escalator usage status is displayed on the display 11a installed in the landing destination floor input device 11.
ST18: On the display 11a installed on the landing destination floor input device 11, the assigned car name is displayed in addition to the guidance about the escalator.

FIG. 12 is a basic operation flow for guiding the use status of the escalator in ST17.
ST20: It is determined from the information obtained from the escalator control system 3 whether or not the escalator can be used. If it is not usable, the process proceeds to ST21, and if it is usable, the process proceeds to ST26.
ST21: It is determined whether or not the escalator is being inspected. If it is under inspection, the process proceeds to ST22, and if it is not under inspection, the process proceeds to ST23.
ST22: Display escalator check execution guidance. At this time, for example, a display such as a guidance display 92 in FIG. 9 is performed.
ST23: It is determined whether or not the escalator is resting. If it is in the idle operation, the process proceeds to ST24, and if it is not in the idle operation, the process proceeds to ST25.
ST24: Display the escalator pause operation execution guide. At this time, for example, a display like the guidance display 62 of FIG. 6 is performed.
ST25: Display an escalator unavailable information. At this time, for example, a display such as a guidance display 72 in FIG. 7 is performed.

ST26: It is determined whether or not the escalator is in a descending operation. If it is in descending operation, the process proceeds to ST27, and if it is not in descending operation, it proceeds to ST28.
ST27: Display the escalator down operation execution guide. At this time, a display such as a guidance display 82 in FIG. 8 is performed.
ST28: It is determined whether or not the elevator is assigned using an escalator. If the escalator is used, the process proceeds to ST29. If not, the process proceeds to ST2A. For example, in the case of a layout out as shown in FIG. 1, if the assigned car is an upper car, an escalator is used, so the process proceeds to ST29.
