Embodiments of the present disclosure will be described below with reference to the drawings. In each figure, the same reference numerals are given to the same or corresponding parts, and the description thereof will be simplified or omitted.

Embodiment 1.
FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing the configuration of an elevator system according to the first embodiment. As shown in FIG. 1, the elevator system includes a plurality of elevator banks (hereinafter also referred to as "banks") 10 in a building in which elevators are installed. Each bank 10 comprises at least one elevator for transporting passengers and at least one call register 12 .

At least one call registration unit 12 is installed on each floor. The call registration unit 12 is a building facility having an input function of receiving input for call registration and a notification function of notifying information. The functions of the call registration unit 12 include the input function and the notification function, as well as the response time from the passenger's call registration to the display of the allocated car. The input function is a function of accepting call registration. A user (hereinafter also referred to as a “passenger”) who uses the elevator can operate the call registration unit 12 to perform call registration. Passengers who have performed call registration by operating the call registration part 12 can move to the boarding hall for boarding the car 11 on the floor where the call registration part 12 is installed, and board the car 11 from the boarding hall. . Alternatively, the passenger can move from the floor on which the operated call registration unit 12 is installed to the platform of the car 11 on another floor using an escalator or stairs, and board the car 11 from that platform. . The notification function of the call registration unit 12 includes a function of displaying an assigned car, an advertisement, and guidance on a display, and a guidance function by voice.

These functions of the call registration unit 12 can be changed as appropriate. Also, the call registration unit 12 can change the arrangement. The arrangement of the call registration unit 12 is the installation position of the call registration unit 12 in the building. The placement of the call register 12 determines the position at which the passenger registers the call. The call registration unit 12 may be any type of device, self-propelled or stationary. In the case of the self-propelled call registration unit 12, in addition to horizontal movement within the installed floor, autonomous movement between floors using an elevator is also possible. Even in the case of the fixed type call registration unit 12, it can be horizontally moved within the installed floor by a movable person or an autonomous mobile body, and can be moved between floors using an elevator or the like. can.

Each call registration unit 12 has recording means for recording call log data. FIG. 2 is a diagram showing an example of call log data recorded in recording means. As shown in FIG. 2, the call log data may include operation time, operation coordinates, destination floor, and assigned car number. The operation time is the time when the call registration is registered by the call registration unit 12 . The operation coordinate is data indicating the installation position of the call registration unit 12 at the operation time, the destination floor is the destination floor of the registered call registration, and the assigned number is the elevator number assigned to the call registration. indicates

Further, each elevator car 11 has recording means for recording the elevator log data. FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an example of machine log data recorded in the recording means of the machine 11. As shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 3, the car log data can include the position (that is, floor) with respect to time, running state, running direction, door state, car load, and the like for each car.

The elevator car 11 and the call registration unit 12 transmit the elevator car log data and the call log data recorded in the recording means to the elevator control panel 20, respectively. The timing at which each elevator car 11 transmits the elevator log data to the elevator control panel 20 and the timing at which each call registration unit 12 transmits the call log data to the elevator control panel 20 are set at regular time intervals. The timing is set in advance according to the timing, each time an event occurs, and the like.

Again referring to FIG. 1 , the elevator control panel 20 includes a basic information storage section 21 , a passenger flow estimation section 22 and a combination section 23 . The basic information storage unit 21 stores basic information such as the number of machines for each bank 10, the number of call registration units 12 in each bank 10, and building specifications.

The passenger flow estimation unit 22 receives the elevator car log data from each elevator car 11 and the call log data from each call registration unit 12 . The passenger flow estimation unit 22 estimates the degree of congestion of each hall and each call registration unit 12 based on the received elevator car log data and call log data.

Based on the data of the basic information stored in the basic information storage unit 21 and the estimation result of the passenger flow by the passenger flow estimation unit 22, the combination unit 23 controls the elevator and the layout and function of the call registration unit 12. and the combination of Here, the elevator control may include control for performing allocation evaluation values when determining to which elevator car 11 a passenger who has performed call registration by operating the call registration unit 12 is to be allocated. Elevator control may also include control for changing the number of vehicles to be allocated, floors to which vehicles are allocated, the number of floors that each car 11 stops per revolution, the floors that each car 11 stops, and the number of passengers that can be boarded.

The combination determined by the combining section 23 is transmitted to each bank 10 . Each elevator car 11 of each bank 10 and each call registration unit 12 operate by changing the elevator control and the arrangement and function of the call registration unit 12 according to the combination received from the elevator control panel 20 .

FIG. 4 is a flowchart for explaining an example of the control operation executed by passenger flow estimating section 22 of elevator control panel 20 according to the present embodiment. Hereinafter, the operation after the passenger flow estimating unit 22 receives the elevator car log data and the call log data from the elevator car 11 and the call registering unit 12 will be illustrated with reference to FIG.

In the routine of FIG. 4, first, a hall loop of steps S100 to S103 is executed. In the platform loop, a congestion degree score is calculated for each platform. Specifically, in step S100, the number of passengers at the hall to be calculated is calculated. When calculating the boarding hall number of people, first, all car number log data of all cars that can be boarded from the boarding hall are selected. A change in car load for each car load on the floor of the hall is obtained from the car log data. By dividing the obtained car load change by the average load per passenger, the number of people in the car can be estimated. By calculating the estimated number of people boarding the selected car for all load changes and summing the calculated estimated values, the number of people boarding each car from the hall is calculated.

Next, in step S101, the number of registered callers at the hall is calculated. Specifically, first, based on the call log data, all the call registration units 12 arranged so that the passenger moves to the hall after the call registration is selected. The number of call registrations is calculated for each call log data of the selected call registration unit 12 . By totaling the number of call registrations of all the selected call registration units 12, the number of call registrations is calculated. At this time, there is a possibility that a passenger who has operated the call registration unit 12 outside the hall may operate the call registration unit inside the hall again. It does not have to be included in the number of call registrations in the data. In addition, it is also possible to adopt a configuration in which repeated call registrations are collectively counted as one call registration count.

Next, in step S102, the number of people in the hall is calculated. The number of people at the hall is calculated from the previous number of people at the hall stored in the passenger flow estimating unit 22, the number of passengers calculated at step S100, and the number of registered callers calculated at step S101. More specifically, for example, the number of people in the hall is calculated by subtracting the number of passengers in step S100 from the number of people in the hall calculated last time, and adding the registered number of people in step S101. Also, the number of people in the hall may be calculated by calculating the number of people getting off from the car load change and adding the number of people getting off as well as the number of people getting on. Further, the future number of people in the hall may be calculated by taking a correlation with the number of people in the hall in the past.

Next, in step S103, the congestion degree score of the hall is calculated. Here, a value obtained by dividing the floor area of the hall by the number of people in the hall calculated in step S102 is used as the congestion degree score of the hall. In other words, it is determined that a hall with a smaller congestion degree score is more crowded. Note that the floor area of the hall is stored in the basic information storage unit 21 .

The hall loop of steps S100 to S103 is repeatedly executed until the calculation of the congestion score for each hall is completed.

When the hall loop ends, next the call registration section loop of steps S104 to S105 is executed. In the call registration section loop, the congestion degree score for each call registration section 12 is calculated. Specifically, first, the number of people waiting in the call registration unit 12 to be calculated this time is calculated. The number of waiting people is derived from the last waiting number of people of the call registration unit 12 stored in the passenger flow estimating unit 22 and the call log data. Specifically, first, the number of newly lined up passengers is calculated in the call registration unit 12 . In the call log data of the call registration unit 12, when the registration time interval stays within a certain value range for a certain period of time or longer, the number of people corresponding to the number of registration operations is newly lined up for the call registration unit 12. Estimated number of people. The number of waiting people is calculated by adding the newly estimated number of people lined up to the number of waiting people last time. On the other hand, the number of passengers corresponding to the number of registration operations for which the registration time interval did not fall within a certain value range for a certain period of time can also be regarded as the number of passengers who have dropped out of the line. That is, a value obtained by subtracting the number of passengers considered to have dropped from the queue from the sum of the previous number of waiting people in the call registration unit 12 and the number of newly lined up passengers may be used as the number of waiting people in the call registration unit 12 .

Note that the constant value range and the constant time are determined based on the basic information storage unit 21 . For example, the fixed value range is from the time from when the call is registered until the assigned elevator is displayed to when the next passenger calls the call registration unit 12 during the time from when the call is registered until the assigned elevator is displayed. The time is defined as the action time for the operation. Also, for example, the fixed time is a value obtained by multiplying the action time required for the next passenger to operate the call registration unit 12 by an integer. Further, instead of calculating the number of people on standby as described above, a predicted value of the number of people on standby in the future may be calculated by taking a correlation with the number of people on standby in the past, and this value may be used as the number of people on standby in the call registration unit 12. .

Next, in step S105, the congestion degree score of the call registration unit 12 is calculated. For example, the congestion degree score of the call registration unit 12 is a value obtained by dividing the waiting area by the number of waiting people calculated in step S104. That is, it can be determined that the call registration unit 12 with a smaller congestion degree score is more congested. Note that the standby area is stored in the basic information storage unit 21 here.

The call registration unit loop of steps S104 to S105 is repeatedly executed until the calculation of congestion degree scores for all call registration units 12 is completed.

Instead of each congestion degree score calculated in steps S103 and S105, a difference obtained by subtracting the current congestion degree score from the previous congestion degree score may be used as a parameter indicating the congestion degree. Also, a statistical value such as an average value of values from a certain point in the past before the previous time to the current time may be used as the congestion degree score.

When the call registration section loop ends, next, in step S106, the congestion score calculated in steps S103 and S105 is transmitted to the combination section 23. FIG. After that, the processing in FIG. 4 is temporarily terminated.

Next, the control operation for determining the combination executed by the combination unit 23 will be described. FIG. 5 is a flowchart for explaining an example of the control operation for determining the combination by the combination section 23 of the elevator control panel 20. As shown in FIG.

When determining the combination, first, as shown in FIG. 5, the hall loop of step S200 is executed. Specifically, in step S200, it is determined whether the hall is a congested hall or a non-congested hall, based on the congestion degree score for the hall to be determined. That is, if the congestion degree score of the hall is equal to or less than the reference value, the hall is determined to be a crowded hall, and if the score exceeds the reference value, the hall is determined to be a non-congested hall. Here, information stored in the basic information storage unit 21 may be referred to as a reference value that serves as a criterion for determination. Also, for example, the reference value may be a fixed value determined in advance based on the space required for one passenger to spend comfortably, such as personal space. When all of the halls have been determined to be congested or not, the hall loop ends.

Next, in step S201, an elevator control that maximizes the statistical value of the congestion degree score of each hall determined to be a crowded hall is selected. In other words, elevator control is selected that is statistically expected to minimize the degree of congestion at each landing. Here, as the statistical value, the total value, median value, average value, variance value, or the like of congestion degree scores can be used. Alternatively, in place of the process of step S201, the optimum elevator control may be selected from the candidates for elevator control stored in the basic information storage unit 21. FIG.

Next, the hall loop of step S202 is executed. In this hall loop, the allowable number of registered callers for each hall is calculated. The allowable number of registered callers is a constraint value for not congesting the hall after the application of elevator control. Specifically, in step S202, the allowable number of registered callers for the hall to be calculated this time after applying the elevator control selected in step S201 is calculated. The allowable call registered number of people in the hall is calculated based on the congestion degree score of the hall before application of the elevator and the number of passengers in the hall after application of the elevator control in step S201. For example, when the number of passengers at the time of deriving the congestion degree score of the hall before applying the elevator control in step S201 is changed to the number of passengers after applying the elevator control in step S201, and the congestion degree score exceeds the reference value. , the number of passengers corresponding to the excess is regarded as the number of passengers who can additionally move to the hall from the call registration unit 12 . The sum of the number of passengers corresponding to the excess amount and the number of registered callers for the hall before application of the elevator control in step S201 is defined as the allowable number of registered callers. When the calculation of the allowable number of registered callers for all halls is completed, the hall loop of step S202 ends.

Next, in S203, the number and functions of the call registration units 12 for each hall are determined with the allowable number of registered callers as a constraint. Here, the number of call registration units 12 installed in each hall and the number of call registrations after changing the function are changed so as not to exceed the allowable call registration number of people. At this time, it may be possible to search for the number and function that maximizes the statistical value of the congestion degree score of each call registration unit 12 while observing the restrictions. Alternatively, call registrations may be grouped together for each hall, and the number and function that maximize the statistical value for them may be searched. Alternatively, the number and functions of the call registration units 12 may be searched only for the call registration units 12 corresponding to the halls whose congestion score calculated in FIG. 4 is equal to or lower than the reference value. Further, a constraint value may be further set based on information stored in the basic information storage unit 21, such as the minimum number of machines that must be installed at each hall.

Next, the hall loop of step S204 is executed. In this hall loop, the arrangement of the call register 12 of each hall is determined. Specifically, in step S204, based on the number of call registration units 12 determined in S203, the layout of the call registration units 12 in the hall to be calculated is determined. Here, for example, the number of call registration units 12 determined in S203 may be allocated in the order closest to the placement of the call registration units 12 originally having a high congestion degree score at the hall. At this time, based on the information stored in the basic information storage section 21, the arrangement of the call registration section 12 may be determined within the area where the call registration section 12 of the hall can be arranged. Furthermore, a configuration may be adopted in which a restriction on the minimum number of units to be installed is provided for each hall, such that one call registration unit 12 is always arranged at a specific location. In this case, in a restricted hall, the arrangement of the call registration unit 12 is determined within the restricted range. When the arrangement of the call registration units 12 is determined for all the halls, the hall loop of step S204 ends.

Next, in S205, the information on the elevator control and the arrangement and function of the call registration unit 12 determined in S201, S203, and step S203 is sent to each bank 10. FIG. After that, the current processing ends.

If there is a bank 10 having a hall or a call registration unit 12 whose congestion degree score after combination determination does not satisfy the reference value, for that bank 10, elevator control and call registration of the bank 10 with a margin in the congestion degree score are performed. S201 to S205 may be repeated again, including the arrangement and function of the unit 12 .

Also, if there is a hall where the congestion degree score after combination determination does not satisfy the reference value, the function is changed such as invalidating the operation to the call registration unit 12 of that hall or delaying the assigned car response time. Then, the number of passengers moving to the hall may be suppressed.

For example, in the case of an office building, there is a periodicity in the time zone of passenger occurrence, and there is a specific pattern in the passenger flow, such that a large number of passengers occur at the entrance floor and head for the office floor in the morning when they go to work. In the case of a building having such a specific pattern of passenger flow, the combination calculated by the combining unit is stored for the specific pattern of passenger flow, and the combination is stored before the time period of the specific pattern. The corresponding stored combination may be sent to each bank 10 in advance at the time of . In this case, each bank 10 changes the control of the elevator and the arrangement and function of the call registration unit 12 based on the received combination before the time slot corresponding to the specific pattern. A specific pattern of passenger flow can be smoothly accommodated.

As described above, according to the elevator system of the present embodiment, considering the congestion of both the hall and the call registration unit 12, the elevator control and the arrangement and function of the call registration unit 12 are dynamically changed. be able to. As a result, it is possible to effectively disperse the congestion between the hall and the call registration unit 12, and to ensure the comfort and safety of the service to passengers.
