Description

  The present invention relates to an elevator apparatus of a type configured to alleviate congestion at each floor platform.

  A general elevator apparatus is configured to register a landing call by operating a landing call registration button for each up and down destination direction installed in the landing when using the elevator. Also, in the control device of the elevator device, a control processing unit that memorizes that the landing call is registered and calculates the operation schedule so that the kite responds most efficiently when a plurality of landing calls are registered There is known an elevator that cancels registration of a car having a car, landing call registration, or destination floor registration in a car by operating a call registration button.

  By the way, when the anchor stops at the landing, if there is a user who is about to get in the area near the entrance of the landing, between the user who is going to get off the fence and the user near the entrance of the landing May cause contact. As an elevator apparatus for preventing this phenomenon, there is an elevator apparatus that indicates a standby place with a display provided at a landing and permits landing call registration under the condition that a user stays in a predetermined place for a certain period of time. (See Patent Document 1).

Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 5-92882

  However, in the conventional elevator apparatus, a plurality of human body detection sensors, load detection sensors, and the like are used in order to perform landing call registration from a standby place. In particular, when an inexpensive load detection sensor is used, a load detection sensor is used. A fixed time is set to prevent erroneous detection, and call registration is performed when detection continues for this set time. For this reason, false detection can be reduced, but false detection cannot be eliminated at all. Moreover, if the set time is set so as to minimize false detection, an appropriate bag is assigned to the landing call. It takes a long time to complete. Therefore, the efficient operation of the elevator is hindered.

  An object of the present invention is to provide an elevator apparatus that uses a load detection sensor, reduces the time until a landing call is detected, and enables efficient operation.

  In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides an input device used when registering a landing call at a landing provided on each floor, an input signal detection unit for detecting a landing call signal from the input device, and the input In the elevator apparatus, comprising: a call registration unit that performs a call registration process when detection is performed by the signal detection unit; and a kite assignment determination unit that allocates kites to the floor after the call registration by the call registration unit The apparatus is configured by a load detection sensor that outputs the landing call signal when a user gets on, after the call registration process in the call registration unit and before the allocation of the kite in the kite allocation determination unit. A cancel processing unit is provided for canceling call registration in the call registration unit when it is detected that the landing call signal is canceled.

  According to the above-described configuration, even if the input device is configured with a load detection sensor that may cause erroneous detection, after the call registration process in the call registration unit and before the bag assignment in the bag assignment determination unit Since the call registration can be automatically canceled as detected by the cancel processing unit, the landing call signal in the input signal detection unit can be detected immediately, and the call registration in the call registration unit can be performed quickly. it can. As a result, efficient driving can be performed while quickly responding to the landing call. Also, taking advantage of the fact that an input device composed of load detection sensors is installed at a location away from the entrance of the dredger, keep the user close to the input device until the dredge arrives, and secure traffic to get off the dredge The area can be maintained for a relatively long time.

  Further, in addition to the above-described configuration, the present invention provides the platform with a floor assigned to the floor by the fence assignment determination unit when the landing call signal is given from the input device. And a notification means for detecting the presence or absence of the user and notifying the user on the input device.

  According to the above-described configuration, the user can be prompted to stop on the input device until the passenger almost gets off from the bag, and the input device configured by the load detection sensor is installed at a location away from the doorway. By taking advantage of this, it is possible to keep the user in the vicinity of the input device until the kite arrives and maintain the traffic area reserved for getting off the kite for a relatively long time. In this way, it is possible to prevent the users getting on and off from coming into contact with each other or crossing them. In addition, when there are no passengers getting off at the floor in the cage, the user on the input device can be urged to advance to the vicinity of the entrance, and the load is detected at a location away from the entrance. It is possible to easily compensate for the drawbacks of installing an input device composed of sensors.

  According to the elevator apparatus of the present invention, even if the input device is configured with a load detection sensor that may cause a false detection, after the call registration process in the call registration unit and before the allocation of the kite in the kite allocation determination unit. If there is, it can be detected by the cancel processing unit and call registration can be automatically canceled, so the landing call signal in the input signal detection unit can be detected immediately, and the call registration in the call registration unit is performed quickly. be able to. As a result, efficient driving can be performed while quickly responding to the landing call. Also, taking advantage of the fact that an input device composed of load detection sensors is installed at a location away from the entrance of the dredger, keep the user close to the input device until the dredge arrives, and secure traffic to get off the dredge The area can be maintained for a relatively long time.

It is a functional block block diagram which shows the principal part of the elevator control apparatus shown in FIG. It is a flowchart which shows the processing operation of the elevator control apparatus shown in FIG. It is a schematic block diagram of the elevator apparatus by other embodiment of this invention.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 1 is a schematic configuration diagram of an elevator apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention.

  The two elevators constituting the group management control elevator are installed adjacent to each other in the same direction. A response light 2 used for response guidance and registration notification is installed on the wall in the vicinity of each entrance / exit 1 on each floor, and a floor surface of a waiting place separated from each entrance / exit 1 on each floor by a predetermined distance. Is provided with an input device 3 used for call registration. The elevator control device 4 that controls each elevator is connected to the input device 3 on each floor by a communication cable 5 and to the response lamp 2 by a communication cable 6.

  The answering light 2 responds to the upward direction light 2a indicating that it has responded to the landing call to the upward direction by lighting and blinking to arrive at the landing floor, and to the downward landing call. This is composed of a downward light 2b that indicates by lighting and flashes when it has arrived at the landing floor. The input device 3 includes an upper floor input device 3a and a lower floor input device 3b configured by a pair of load detection sensors arranged on the floor surface, and a user gets on the upper floor input device 3a. The call registration to the upper floor is performed, and when the user gets on the lower floor input device 3b, the call registration to the lower floor is performed.

  FIG. 2 is a functional block configuration diagram showing a main part of the elevator control device 1.

  The elevator control device 4 includes a storage device 7 storing a processing program and the like as a part related to the new input device 3 in addition to a normal configuration, and a hall call signal to be transmitted when the input device 3 senses it. An input signal detection unit 8 for monitoring the call, a call registration unit 9 for performing a call registration process and a response process associated therewith when a landing call signal from the input signal detection unit 8 is detected, and a landing call signal from the input device 3 When it is detected that the call has been canceled, the cancel processing unit 11 for canceling the call registration by the call registration unit 9 and the assignment start signal from the call registration unit 9 are determined to be assigned to the landing area registered for the call registration. In addition, the trap assignment determining unit 12 that outputs the notification processing signal, the response processing signal of the call registration unit 9, and the notification processing signal from the trap assignment determining unit 12 The guide light output editing unit 13 that performs the processing to be performed, the driving drive unit 15 that gives an operation command to the driving device 14 such as a hoisting machine that raises and lowers the kite assigned by the kite assignment determination unit 12, and each of these units is processed And a control unit 16 that controls the program according to a program.

  FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing a call registration process when the user 10 intended to move to the upper floor makes a landing call on the upper floor input device 3 a of the input device 3.

  First, the input signal detection unit 8 of the elevator control device 4 constantly monitors a landing call signal from the input device 3 installed on each floor in step S1. On a certain floor, as shown in FIG. 1, the user 10 comes near the landing and tries to perform call registration to move to the upper floor using the elevator, and the upper floor input device 3a of the input device 3 is used. Suppose you wait above. Then, the load detection sensor of the upper floor input device 3a responds to the user 10 and outputs a landing call signal. The input signal detection unit 8 that has detected this immediately transmits to the call registration unit 9 in step S2. In step S3, the call registration unit 9 performs call registration processing for the floor on which the upper floor input device 3a is installed, and outputs a response processing signal related thereto to the guide lamp output editing unit 13.

  Here, since the upper floor input device 3a is a load detection sensor, a landing call signal is output even when a pedestrian simply moves on the upper floor input device 3a. Moreover, the input signal detection unit 8 immediately notifies the registration request to the call registration unit 9 in step S2 without determining whether or not the detected landing call signal is a false detection. Therefore, the input signal detection unit 8 does not perform the discrimination process for detecting whether or not the landing call signal is continuously detected for a predetermined time in order to exclude the case where the pedestrian moves on the input device 3.

  Similarly, the call registration unit 9 performs the call registration process without performing the discrimination process and simultaneously outputs a response processing signal. Upon receiving the response processing signal, the guide light output editing unit 13 notifies the user 10 that the elevator control device 4 is responding to the landing call that he / she has input. For example, the guide light output editing unit 13 turns on the upward light 2a of the response light 2 in the elevators for two cars at the landing. The user 10 who sees this can know that the elevator control device 4 is responding to the landing call that he / she has input.

  Thereafter, a cancel process in the cancel processing unit 11 is performed before the process by the call registration unit 9 shifts to the process in the bag assignment determination unit 12. The cancel processing unit 11 determines whether a situation for canceling call registration has occurred. For example, using the detection of the call registration signal in step S4 as a start signal, the data of the landing corresponding to the call registration signal is compared with the status data of the corresponding landing call signal at that time, and the data is different. Determine if there is no.

  If there is no landing call signal detected by the input signal detection unit 8 at this time, the cancellation processing unit 11 determines that the data is different in the determination in step S4, and proceeds to step S7 to proceed to the call registration unit. A canceling process for deleting the corresponding call registration is performed for 9. At the same time, the call registration unit 9 stops the response process performed from the guide light output editing unit 13 according to this change, and turns off the upward light 2a of the landing.

  As a result of the determination processing in the cancel processing unit 11, as one situation, the already assigned hall call is positively canceled, that is, the user 10 shown in FIG. It is possible to detect that the landing call has been canceled away. As another situation, when a passerby moving on the landing or another passenger getting on or off the train accidentally passes over the upper floor input device 3a, the input signal detector 8 erroneously detects it as a landing call signal. It can be removed. Further, the user 10 shown in FIG. 1 moves away from the upper floor input device 3a to the vicinity of the entrance / exit 1 and the traffic area formed between the entrance / exit 1 and the input device 3 is used for the original purpose of use. It is possible to prevent a situation that cannot be used. As yet another situation, it is possible to detect a case in which an assignment currently being processed is changed because a saddle assignment determining unit 12 described later has assigned a desired soot to other landing call signals.

  Thereafter, if there is no landing call signal for another floor, the process returns to the monitoring state in step S1, and if there is a landing call signal for another floor waiting for processing, the processing is performed in the same manner.

  On the other hand, when it is determined in the determination processing in step S4 in the cancel processing unit 11 that there is no difference between the corresponding landing call signal and the call registered data, the call registration unit 9 starts allocation to the kite allocation determination unit 12 Send a signal. Therefore, when there is no canceling factor, there is no unnecessary waiting time in each unit, and the soot allocation determining unit 12 can start the soot allocation quickly.

  Upon receiving the allocation start signal from the call registration unit 9, the kite allocation determination unit 12 calculates a more efficient operation schedule for each kite in each elevator in step S5, and sets the most appropriate landing floor on the call registration. Select a kite that arrives early and assign it. In addition, the guide lamp output editing unit 13 that has received the notification start signal from the kite allocation determining unit 12 performs a notification process for the user 10 at the landing. This notification process replaces the response process performed from the guide light output editing unit 13 to the upward light 2a of the landing, and stops the lighting of the upward light 2a of the elevator not assigned in step S6. Only the upward light 2a of the elevator corresponding to the assigned kite flashes. Thereby, the user 10 shown in FIG. 1 can know which elevator car arrives at the landing call. After that, the driving unit 15 gives an operation command to the driving device 14 such as a hoisting machine that raises and lowers the kite assigned by the kite assignment determination unit 12, and operates the kite up and down to the landing. To do.

  As can be seen from the above description, the processing by the cancellation processing unit 11 is not performed at the stage of determining that the landing call signal detected by the input signal detection unit 8 is erroneous detection, but is detected by the input signal detection unit 8. The call registration unit 9 performs the call registration process in response to the received landing call signal, and before the kite allocation determining unit 12 allocates kites. For this reason, the call registration process in the call registration part 9 can be started quickly, and as a result, an efficient driving | operation can be performed, responding quickly to a landing call.

  In the elevator apparatus described above, the response lamp 2 is installed at the landing, and the response lamp 2 is turned on by the response processing from the call registration unit 9 to notify that it is responding to the landing call. Can be used. In addition, although only the response lamp 2 corresponding to the soot assigned in the notification process from the soot assignment determining unit 12 is flashed and notified, various other notification means can be used.

  Further, the cancellation processing unit 11 compares the landing call signal with the call registration signal and determines that there has been a cancellation in the output device 3 that is a load detection sensor. You may detect that. However, when the call registration signal is issued, the cancel state can be detected with good timing as compared with the state of the landing call signal at that time.

  According to the elevator apparatus described above, even if a user leaves the input apparatus 3 because the input apparatus 3 is a load detection sensor, or a person other than the elevator user enters the area of the input apparatus 3 by mistake, such a situation occurs. This situation is detected by the cancel processing unit 11 so that call registration can be automatically canceled. Therefore, the landing call signal from the input device 3 is immediately detected by the input signal detection unit 8 and the call registration unit 9 calls. Registration can begin early. As a result, efficient driving can be performed while quickly responding to the landing call. Further, taking advantage of the fact that the input device 3 composed of a load detection sensor is installed at a location away from the dredging entrance 1, to keep the user in the vicinity of the input device 3 until the dredging arrives, to get out of the dredging The secured traffic area can be maintained for a relatively long time.

  FIG. 4 is a schematic configuration diagram of an elevator apparatus according to another embodiment of the present invention.

  The same components as those of the previous embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, detailed description thereof will be omitted, and different portions will be described. On the wall in the vicinity of each entrance / exit 1 on each floor, a notification means 17 is newly provided to notify the user on the input device 3 of the timing of proceeding to the vicinity of the entrance / exit 1.

  In a situation where there is a passenger 18 getting off at the floor in the cage assigned by the kite assignment determining unit 12 to the floor when the landing call signal is given from the input device 3 by the notification means 17, It is possible to prompt the user 10 to stop on the input device 3 until the passenger 18 almost gets off. On the other hand, in a situation where there is no passenger 18 getting off at the floor in the cage, the user 10 on the input device 3 can be prompted to advance to the vicinity of the entrance 1 in advance.

  Further, the notification by the notification means 17 can be performed by using the situation determined previously as the notification lamp lighting or blinking, displaying characters, providing guidance by voice, or the response lamp 2 and changing its use form.

  The above-described elevator control device 4 is generally installed in a cage and takes in information from a destination floor registration device that registers a destination floor. Accordingly, it is possible to determine whether or not there is a passenger 18 getting off at the floor in the cage assigned by the cage assignment determining unit 12 to the floor to which the landing call signal is given from the input device 3.

  Therefore, before the kite assigned by the kite assignment determination unit 12 arrives at the floor to which the landing call signal is given from the input device 3, and after the processing by the cancel processing unit 11 described above is completed, When there is no passenger getting off at the floor, the notification means 17 notifies the user 10. The user 10 recognizing this can leave the input device 3 installed at a slightly distant position, move in advance to the vicinity of the pier entrance 1, and can quickly get into the tub after arrival of the tub.

  On the other hand, when there is a passenger getting off the floor in the cage, the user 10 is notified by another usage pattern by the notification means 17. The user 10 who has recognized this can stop on the input device 3 installed at a slightly separated position, and then move to the entrance / exit 1 after the passenger 18 has almost descended from the cage. . Therefore, it is possible to prevent the passenger 18 and the user 10 from crossing or contacting each other.

  In each of the above-described embodiments, the configuration in which two elevators are arranged in parallel has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this.

  As described above, the elevator apparatus of the present invention includes the input device 3 that is used when performing call registration at the landings provided on each floor, and the input signal detection unit 8 that detects a landing call signal from the input device 3. A call registration unit 9 that performs a call registration process when the input signal detection unit 8 detects a call, and a callout assignment determination unit 12 that assigns a bag to the floor after the call registration by the call registration unit 9 The input device 3 is constituted by a load detection sensor that outputs a landing call signal when the user gets on, after the call registration processing in the call registration unit 9, and before the assignment of the kite in the kite assignment determination unit In addition, a cancel processing unit 11 is provided that cancels call registration in the call registration unit 9 when it is detected that the landing call signal is canceled.

  According to such a configuration, even if the input device 3 is configured with a load detection sensor that may cause a false detection, after the call registration process in the call registration unit 9 and the allocation of the kite in the kite allocation determination unit 12 If it is before, the call registration can be automatically canceled by being detected by the cancel processing unit 11, so the landing call signal in the input signal detection unit 8 can be detected immediately, and the call in the call registration unit 9 can be detected. Registration can be done quickly. As a result, efficient driving can be performed while quickly responding to the landing call. Further, taking advantage of the fact that the input device 3 composed of a load detection sensor is installed at a location away from the dredging entrance 1, to keep the user in the vicinity of the input device 3 until the dredging arrives, to get out of the dredging The secured traffic area can be maintained for a relatively long time.

  Further, in the present invention, in addition to the above-described configuration, when the landing call signal is given from the input device 3 to the landing with the landing entrance 1, the kite allocation determining unit 12 assigns the kite to the floor. A notification means 17 for detecting the presence / absence of a customer on the floor and notifying the user on the input device 3 is provided.

  According to such a configuration, it is possible to prompt the user 10 to stop on the input device 3 until the passenger 18 almost gets off from the bag, and the input device 3 configured with a load detection sensor at a position away from the baggage entrance 1. By making use of the installation, the user can remain in the vicinity of the input device 3 until the kite arrives, and the traffic area reserved for getting off the kite can be maintained for a relatively long time. In this way, it is possible to prevent the users getting on and off from coming into contact with each other or crossing them. In addition, in a situation where there is no passenger 18 getting off at the floor in the cage, the user 10 on the input device 3 can be prompted to advance to the vicinity of the entrance 1 and away from the entrance 1. Therefore, it is possible to easily compensate for the drawbacks of installing the input device 3 composed of a load detection sensor in a place.
