Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a group management elevator, and particularly to an elevator group management system in which a destination floor registration button is provided at an arbitrary landing.
[0002]
[Prior art]
A normal elevator hall is provided with an up call button and a down call button. When a waiting customer operates these buttons, a hall call is registered, and the group management control device selects an optimal car that responds to the hall call. It is common to operate the entire elevator efficiently by determining and assigning this hall call to this car.
[0003]
Recently, however, as shown in FIG. 2, a destination floor registration operation panel 1 is installed at the hall, and an elevator is provided at the hall where a waiting customer can directly indicate the destination floor.
That is, it is indicated on both the display unit 2 of the operation panel and the destination floor display 3 of each elevator that which elevator is to service the call registered on the destination floor, that is, the A machine or the B machine. It is supposed to be.
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, for example, when the number of elevators increases so that a plurality of elevators are arranged in a face-to-face manner, a situation occurs in which it is not immediately known how many elevators will answer their calls. In addition, there is a problem that the number of display guide devices becomes very large and the cost becomes high if the group management elevator is provided with such a destination floor registration operation panel on an intermediate floor other than the reference floor.
[0005]
The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and an object of the present invention is to provide a display guide device that is less expensive and easier to understand.
[0006]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The present invention is, destination floor buttons are provided on any landings multiple elevator is installed, when the destination floor call is registered by the row destination floor buttons, the elevator car to respond to this is determined by assigning means In the group management system for bringing the elevator car to the operated hall, the plurality of elevator cars are divided into service groups, and a hall lantern for each elevator and the service groups of the plurality of elevator cars are arranged on the hall. A display means for displaying and a destination floor button telltale that lights up when operated, while the telltale of the destination floor button of the service group to which the elevator car assigned to the destination floor call belongs is continuously lit. The tell tale of the destination floor button of the service group to which the assigned car does not belong is provided with means for preventing continuous lighting. Is.
[0007]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The present invention is an elevator group management system that can eliminate the need for a destination floor display that is normally provided for each elevator.
[0008]
【Example】
Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is an overall schematic view showing the configuration of the apparatus according to the present invention, FIG. 3 is an enlarged front view showing an example of a hall operating panel according to the present invention, and FIG. 4 is arranged with a total of six elevators facing each other, for example. FIG. 5 is a flow chart showing the operation of the apparatus of the present invention.
[0009]
In the figure, reference numeral 10 denotes a hall operating panel according to the present invention installed at an arbitrary hall, and is composed of a destination floor registration button 11 and a service group display device 12. In the service group display device 12, for example, a front group and a back group are grouped, and each group is guided. 13 is a well-known hall lantern that lights and blinks the forecast and arrival information of each car, and 14 is a car control device that controls the operation of each car.
[0010]
15 is a group management device for instructing operation of the entire elevator, call assignment means 15a for determining a car to respond to a call newly registered by the destination floor registration button 11, and general operation control for each car. And a learning means 15c for periodically statistically processing data such as operation status and service status of each car. Reference numeral 16 denotes a bus line for performing communication between each car control device 14 and the group management device 15.
[0011]
Here, the following restrictions are imposed on the call assignment means 15a.
That is,
In the front group and the rear group, only one car traveling in the ascending direction and the descending direction can be assigned. That is, the elevator cars that can be simultaneously assigned in the same direction on the same floor are limited to one for each group.
[0012]
Next, operation | movement of this invention apparatus is demonstrated using FIG.
First, in step 1, it is checked whether or not the destination floor registration button 11 of the hall operating panel 10 has been pressed, and if it is pressed, the telltale of the destination floor registration button being operated is turned on. Next, in step 2, it is checked whether or not the destination floor has already been registered. If it has not been registered, it is registered. Then, the destination floor is assigned to the optimum car by the group management device 15, the lantern of the assigned car is turned on, and at the same time, guidance is provided by chime. If this destination floor has already been registered, the lantern is already lit, so only a chime will be shown.
[0013]
Next, in step 3, it is checked whether or not the car to which the call is assigned is located on the destination floor registration button side (that is, whether it is the front group side). If the front group machine, the service group display device 12 displays “Please use the front elevator” and lights the corresponding telltales on all front destination floor registration buttons. If already lit, the lighting is maintained.
[0014]
On the contrary, if it is a machine of the back group, the display of “Please use the elevator of the back group” of the service group display device 12 is turned on, and the corresponding telltales of all the back destination floor registration buttons are turned on. In the case of this rear group machine, as soon as the waiting customer releases the registration button, the telltale of the front registration button is turned off. That is, continuous lighting is not performed.
[0015]
Therefore, the waiting passengers can know which elevator of the elevator will serve their registration call by using the service group display device on the hall operating panel 10 or the registration button tell tale and hall lantern.
[0016]
In the above description, elevator grouping is performed on the front surface and the back surface, but this grouping may be set as appropriate according to the arrangement state of the elevators.
[0017]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, according to the present invention, sufficient information can be guided to a waiting customer with a small number of display devices, so that an elevator group management system can be configured without cost. In particular, the merit is great when the hall operation panel according to the present invention is provided on all floors of the hall.
