Description

本発明の実施形態は、エレベータ制御装置およびエレベータ制御方法に関する。 Embodiments of the present invention relate to an elevator control device and an elevator control method.

エレベータは、利用者の操作によるホール呼びおよびかご呼びに順次応答しながら走行する。ホール呼びが発生した際には、満員状態ではなく乗り込み可能な乗りかごが該当する階床のエレベータホールに着床することで、当該ホール呼びへの応答が行われる。利用者は、自身が行ったホール呼び操作に応答して着床した乗りかごに乗り込み、目的階まで移動することができる。 The elevator travels while sequentially responding to hall calls and car calls operated by the user. When a hall call occurs, the hall call is answered by landing in the elevator hall on the corresponding floor with a car that can be boarded instead of being full. The user can get into the car that has landed in response to the hall call operation performed by himself / herself and move to the destination floor.

ホール呼びに応答して乗りかごがエレベータホールに着床して戸開した際に、乗りかご内に空きスペースがあっても、かごドア付近が混雑しているとエレベータホールの利用者が乗り込まず、積み残しが発生することがある。この場合、エレベータホールの利用者は当該乗りかごが出発した後に再度ホール呼び操作を行うことになり、エレベータの運転効率が低下するという問題があった。 When the car lands in the elevator hall and opens in response to the hall call, even if there is empty space in the car, the elevator hall users will not get in if the area around the car door is crowded. , Leftovers may occur. In this case, the user of the elevator hall has to perform the hall calling operation again after the car departs, which causes a problem that the operating efficiency of the elevator is lowered.

本発明は上記事情に鑑みてなされたものであり、運転効率を向上させるように乗りかごの次停止階を判定して運転するエレベータ制御装置およびエレベータ制御方法の提供を目的とする。 The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide an elevator control device and an elevator control method for determining and operating the next stop floor of a car so as to improve driving efficiency.

上記目的を達成するための実施形態によればエレベータ制御装置は、閾値情報記憶部と次停止階判定部とを備える。閾値情報記憶部は、新たに乗り込む人数が１人以上且つ所定の乗り込み人数閾値以下となる可能性が所定値以上となるかご内利用者数の最小値を第１かご内人数閾値として記憶する。次停止階判定部は、かご内利用者数と全停止候補階床のホール利用者数との合計が第１かご内人数閾値以上であるときに、停止候補階床に順次応答した場合にかご内利用者数が第１かご内人数閾値を超えない、現在の乗りかご位置から最も離れた階床である運転切替階床に乗りかごが停止したことを検知すると、残りの停止候補階床のうち、ホール利用者数が最大の階床との間のホール呼びに応答しないようにして乗りかごの次停止階を判定する。 According to the embodiment for achieving the above object, the elevator control device includes a threshold value information storage unit and a next stop floor determination unit. The threshold information storage unit stores the minimum value of the number of users in the car as the first threshold for the number of passengers in the car, in which the possibility that the number of new passengers is one or more and the number of new passengers is equal to or less than the predetermined threshold is equal to or greater than the predetermined value. The next stop floor determination unit responds sequentially to the stop candidate floors when the total of the number of users in the car and the number of hall users of all stop candidate floors is equal to or greater than the threshold for the number of people in the first car. When it is detected that the car has stopped on the operation switching floor, which is the floor farthest from the current car position, where the number of users does not exceed the threshold for the number of people in the first car, the remaining stop candidate floors Among them, the next stop floor of the car is determined so that the hall call between the floor with the largest number of hall users is not answered.

Similarly, the hall operation panel 41-1 to 41-n is referred to as a hall operation panel 41, and the hall camera device 42-1 to 42-n is referred to as a hall camera device 42.

エレベータ制御装置５Ａは、図２に示すように、閾値情報記憶部５１Ａと、かご内利用者数検出部５２と、かご呼び情報取得部５３と、ホール利用者数検出部５４と、ホール呼び情報取得部５５と、次停止階判定部５６Ａと、動作制御部５７とを有する。 As shown in FIG. 2, the elevator control device 5A includes a threshold information storage unit 51A, a car number of users detection unit 52, a car call information acquisition unit 53, a hall user number detection unit 54, and a hall call information. It has an acquisition unit 55, a next stop floor determination unit 56A, and an operation control unit 57.

閾値情報記憶部５１Ａは、予め設定された最大定員よりも少なく、新たに乗り込む人数が１人以上且つ所定の乗り込み人数閾値以下となる可能性が所定値以上（例えば、75％以上）となるかご内利用者数の最小値を第１かご内人数閾値として記憶する。ここで、所定の乗り込み人数閾値は例えば２人であり、乗りかご３がある程度混雑していても乗り込み可能な人数である。 The threshold information storage unit 51A is less than the preset maximum capacity, and the possibility that the number of new passengers is one or more and the predetermined number of passengers is equal to or less than the predetermined value (for example, 75% or more) is achieved. The minimum value of the number of users is stored as the threshold value for the number of people in the first car. Here, the predetermined number of people to board is, for example, two, and the number of people who can board even if the car 3 is crowded to some extent.

本実施形態においては、乗りかご３の最大定員が２４人として設定され、第１かご内人数閾値が１３人として記憶されている。 In the present embodiment, the maximum capacity of the car 3 is set to 24 people, and the threshold value of the number of people in the first car is stored as 13 people.

Furthermore, when it is detected that the car 3 has stopped on the operation switching floor, the car is prevented from responding to the hall call between the remaining stop candidate floors and the floor with the largest number of hall users. Determine the next stop floor of 3. The operation control unit 57 controls the equipment in the elevator 1A so that the car 3 is landed on the next stop floor determined by the next stop floor determination unit 56A.

〈第１実施形態によるエレベータ制御装置を用いたエレベータの動作〉
本実施形態によるエレベータ１Ａの動作について説明する。図３は、エレベータ１Ａの動作中にエレベータ制御装置５Ａで実行される処理を示すフローチャートである。 <Elevator operation using the elevator control device according to the first embodiment>
The operation of the elevator 1A according to the present embodiment will be described. FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing a process executed by the elevator control device 5A during the operation of the elevator 1A.

エレベータ制御装置５Ａでは、通常運転実行中に（Ｓ１）次停止階判定部５６Ａにおいて、かご内利用者数検出部５２で検出されたかご内利用者数が第１かご内人数閾値以上であるか否かが判定される（Ｓ２）。ここで、かご内利用者数が第１かご内人数閾値未満であるときには（Ｓ２の「NO」）、現在の乗りかご３の運転方向側にあり運転方向と同方向のホール呼びが登録されている階床があるか否かが判定される（Ｓ３）。 In the elevator control device 5A, whether the number of users in the car detected by the number of users in the car 52 in the (S1) next stop floor determination unit 56A during normal operation is equal to or greater than the threshold number of people in the first car. Whether or not it is determined (S2). Here, when the number of users in the car is less than the threshold value for the number of people in the first car (“NO” in S2), a hall call that is on the driving direction side of the current car 3 and is in the same direction as the driving direction is registered. It is determined whether or not there is a floor (S3).

ステップＳ３において該当する条件に合致する階床があると判定されると（Ｓ３の「YES」）、次停止階判定部５６Ａは、該当する階床を停止候補階床として認識する（Ｓ４）。次に、次停止階判定部５６Ａは、かご内利用者数検出部５２で検出されたかご内利用者数と、全停止候補階床のホール利用者数との合計が第１かご内人数閾値以上であるか否かを判定する（Ｓ５）。 When it is determined in step S3 that there is a floor that matches the corresponding condition (“YES” in S3), the next stop floor determination unit 56A recognizes the corresponding floor as a stop candidate floor (S4). Next, in the next stop floor determination unit 56A, the total of the number of users in the car detected by the number of users in the car detection unit 52 and the number of hall users on all stop candidate floors is the threshold value for the number of people in the first car. It is determined whether or not it is the above (S5).

ステップＳ５において、かご内利用者数と全停止候補階床のホール利用者数との合計が第１かご内人数閾値以上であると判定されると（Ｓ５の「YES」）、次停止階判定部５６Ａは、停止候補階床のホール呼びに順次応答した場合にかご内利用者数が第１かご内人数閾値を超えない、現在の乗りかご３の位置から最も離れた階床を運転切替階床として認識する。そして、次停止階判定部５６Ａで認識された停止候補階床のホール呼びに順次応答して運転するように、動作制御部５７によりエレベータ１Ａ内の機器が制御される（Ｓ６）。 In step S5, if it is determined that the total of the number of users in the car and the number of hall users on the floors that are all stop candidates is equal to or greater than the threshold for the number of people in the first car (“YES” in S5), the next stop floor is determined. Unit 56A uses the floor farthest from the current position of the car 3 where the number of users in the car does not exceed the threshold number of people in the first car when responding to the hall calls of the stop candidate floors in sequence. Recognize as a floor. Then, the equipment in the elevator 1A is controlled by the operation control unit 57 so as to sequentially respond to the hall call of the stop candidate floor recognized by the next stop floor determination unit 56A (S6).

その後、次停止階判定部５６Ａは、乗りかご３が運転切替階床に停止したことを検知すると（Ｓ７の「YES」）、残りの停止候補階床のうち、ホール利用者数が最大の階床との間のホール呼びに応答しないようにして乗りかご３の次停止階を判定する。そして、判定された次停止階に停止するように、動作制御部５７によりエレベータ１Ａ内の機器が制御され（Ｓ８）、ステップＳ１に戻る。 After that, when the next stop floor determination unit 56A detects that the car 3 has stopped on the operation switching floor (“YES” in S7), the floor with the largest number of hall users among the remaining stop candidate floors. The next stop floor of the car 3 is determined so as not to respond to the hall call between the floor and the floor. Then, the device in the elevator 1A is controlled by the operation control unit 57 so as to stop at the determined next stop floor (S8), and the process returns to step S1.

ステップＳ２においてかご内利用者数が第１かご内人数閾値以上であると判定されたときは（Ｓ２の「YES」）、登録されたホール呼びへは非応答とし（Ｓ９）、ステップＳ１に戻る。また、ステップＳ３において現在の乗りかご３の運転方向側にあり運転方向と同方向のホール呼びが登録されている階床がないと判定されたとき（Ｓ３の「NO」）、ステップＳ５においてかご内利用者数と全停止候補階床のホール利用者数との合計が第１かご内人数閾値未満であると判定されたとき（Ｓ５の「NO」）、および、ステップＳ７において乗りかご３が運転切替階床に停止していないと判定されたとき（Ｓ７の「NO」）には、ステップＳ１に戻る。 When it is determined in step S2 that the number of users in the car is equal to or greater than the threshold number of people in the first car (“YES” in S2), the registered hall call is not answered (S9), and the process returns to step S1. .. Further, when it is determined in step S3 that there is no floor on the driving direction side of the current car 3 and in which the hall call in the same direction as the driving direction is registered (“NO” in S3), the car is in step S5. When it is determined that the total of the number of users and the number of hall users on the candidate floor for all suspensions is less than the threshold for the number of people in the first car (“NO” in S5), and in step S7, the car 3 is When it is determined that the vehicle has not stopped on the operation switching floor (“NO” in S7), the process returns to step S1.

以上の第１実施形態によれば、乗りかごがある程度混雑する可能性が高いときに、現在の乗りかごの運転方向側にあり運転方向と同方向のホール呼びが登録されている階床のうちホール利用者数が最大の階床との間の階床のホール呼びを非応答として次停止階を決定することで、エレベータの運転効率を向上させることができる。 According to the first embodiment described above, when the car is likely to be congested to some extent, among the floors on the driving direction side of the current car and in which the hall call in the same direction as the driving direction is registered. Elevator operation efficiency can be improved by determining the next stop floor with the hall call of the floor between the floor with the largest number of hall users as a non-response.

〈第２実施形態によるエレベータ制御装置を用いたエレベータの構成〉
本発明の第２実施形態によるエレベータ１Ｂの構成は、第１実施形態で説明したエレベータ１Ａの構成と同様であるため、同一機能を有する部分の詳細な説明は省略する。本実施形態においてエレベータ制御装置５Ｂの次停止階判定部５６Ｂは、第１実施形態と同様に運転切替階床を認識し、乗りかご３が運転切替階床に停止したことを検知すると、残りの停止候補階床のうち、最も早くホール呼びが登録された階床との間のホール呼びに応答しないようにして乗りかご３の次停止階を判定する。 << Second Embodiment >>
<Elevator configuration using the elevator control device according to the second embodiment>
Since the configuration of the elevator 1B according to the second embodiment of the present invention is the same as the configuration of the elevator 1A described in the first embodiment, detailed description of the portion having the same function will be omitted. In the present embodiment, the next stop floor determination unit 56B of the elevator control device 5B recognizes the operation switching floor as in the first embodiment, and when it detects that the car 3 has stopped on the operation switching floor, the rest Among the stop candidate floors, the next stop floor of the car 3 is determined so as not to respond to the hall call between the floor where the hall call is registered earliest.

〈第２実施形態によるエレベータ制御装置を用いたエレベータの動作〉
本実施形態によるエレベータ１Ｂの動作について、図４のフローチャートを参照して説明する。本実施形態において、ステップＳ１〜Ｓ７で実行する処理は、第１実施形態で説明した処理と同様であるため、詳細な説明は省略する。 <Elevator operation using the elevator control device according to the second embodiment>
The operation of the elevator 1B according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. In the present embodiment, the processes executed in steps S1 to S7 are the same as the processes described in the first embodiment, and therefore detailed description thereof will be omitted.

ステップＳ７において次停止階判定部５６Ｂが、乗りかご３が運転切替階床に停止したことを検知すると（Ｓ７の「YES」）、残りの停止候補階床のうち、最も早くホール呼びが登録された階床との間のホール呼びに応答しないようにして乗りかご３の次停止階を判定する。そして、判定された次停止階に停止するように、動作制御部５７によりエレベータ１Ａ内の機器が制御され（Ｓ１０）、ステップＳ１に戻る。 When the next stop floor determination unit 56B detects in step S7 that the car 3 has stopped on the operation switching floor (“YES” in S7), the hall call is registered earliest among the remaining stop candidate floors. The next stop floor of the car 3 is determined so as not to respond to the hall call between the floor and the floor. Then, the device in the elevator 1A is controlled by the operation control unit 57 so as to stop at the determined next stop floor (S10), and the process returns to step S1.

以上の第２実施形態によれば、乗りかごがある程度混雑する可能性が高いときに、現在の乗りかごの運転方向側にあり運転方向と同方向のホール呼びが登録されている階床のうち最も早くホール呼びが登録された階床との間の階床のホール呼びを非応答として次停止階を決定することで、利用者の利便性をなるべく低下させないようにしつつエレベータの運転効率を向上させることができる。 According to the second embodiment described above, when the car is likely to be congested to some extent, among the floors on the driving direction side of the current car and in which the hall call in the same direction as the driving direction is registered.

《第３実施形態》
〈第３実施形態によるエレベータ制御装置を用いたエレベータの構成〉
本発明の第３実施形態によるエレベータ１Ｃの構成は、第１実施形態で説明したエレベータ１Ａの構成と同様であるため、同一機能を有する部分の詳細な説明は省略する。本実施形態においてエレベータ制御装置５Ｃの次停止階判定部５６Ｃは、第１実施形態と同様に運転切替階床を認識し、乗りかご３が運転切替階床に停止したことを検知したときに、残りの停止候補階床の中に、この時点のかご内利用者数とホール利用者数との合計が第１かご内人数閾値を超えない状態になった階床があると判断すると、該当する階床のうち、最も乗りかご３に近い階床を次停止階として判定する。 << Third Embodiment >>
<Elevator configuration using the elevator control device according to the third embodiment>
Since the configuration of the elevator 1C according to the third embodiment of the present invention is the same as the configuration of the elevator 1A described in the first embodiment, detailed description of the portion having the same function will be omitted. In the present embodiment, the next stop floor determination unit 56C of the elevator control device 5C recognizes the operation switching floor as in the first embodiment, and when it detects that the car 3 has stopped on the operation switching floor, It is applicable if it is judged that there is a floor in which the total number of users in the car and the number of hall users at this time does not exceed the threshold for the number of people in the first car among the remaining candidate floors for suspension. Of the floors, the floor closest to the car 3 is determined as the next stop floor.

〈第３実施形態によるエレベータ制御装置を用いたエレベータの動作〉
本実施形態によるエレベータ１Ｃの動作について、図５のフローチャートを参照して説明する。本実施形態において、ステップＳ１〜Ｓ７で実行する処理は、第１実施形態で説明した処理と同様であるため、詳細な説明は省略する。 <Elevator operation using the elevator control device according to the third embodiment>
The operation of the elevator 1C according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. In the present embodiment, the processes executed in steps S1 to S7 are the same as the processes described in the first embodiment, and therefore detailed description thereof will be omitted.

ステップＳ７において次停止階判定部５６Ｃが、乗りかご３が運転切替階床に停止したことを検知すると（Ｓ７の「YES」）、さらに、残りの停止候補階床の中に、この時点のかご内利用者数とホール利用者数との合計が第１かご内人数閾値を超えない状態になった階床があるか否かを判断する（Ｓ１１）。ここで、「この時点のかご内利用者数とホール利用者数との合計が第１かご内人数閾値を超えない状態になった階床」は、ホールの利用者が乗り込み不可能な状態から可能な状態に変化した階床である。 When the next stop floor determination unit 56C detects in step S7 that the car 3 has stopped on the operation switching floor (“YES” in S7), the car at this point is further included in the remaining stop candidate floors. It is determined whether or not there is a floor in which the total of the number of internal users and the number of hall users does not exceed the threshold for the number of people in the first car (S11). Here, "the floor where the total number of users in the car and the number of hall users at this point does not exceed the threshold value for the number of people in the first car" is from the state where the hall users cannot board. It is a floor that has changed to a possible state.

ここで、該当する階床がないと判断すると（Ｓ１１の「NO」）、次停止階判定部５６Ｃは、残りの停止候補階床のうち、ホール利用者数が最大の階床または最も早くホール呼びが登録された階床との間の階床のホール呼びを非応答として次停止階を判定する。そして、判定された次停止階に停止するように、動作制御部５７によりエレベータ１Ａ内の機器が制御され（Ｓ１２）、ステップＳ１に戻る。 Here, if it is determined that there is no corresponding floor (“NO” in S11), the next stop floor determination unit 56C will use the floor with the largest number of hall users or the earliest hall among the remaining candidate floors for stop. The next stop floor is determined by using the hall call of the floor between the floor where the call is registered as a non-response. Then, the device in the elevator 1A is controlled by the operation control unit 57 so as to stop at the determined next stop floor (S12), and the process returns to step S1.

本発明の第４実施形態によるエレベータ１Ｄの構成は、第１実施形態で説明したエレベータ１Ａの構成と同様であるため、同一機能を有する部分の詳細な説明は省略する。本実施形態においてエレベータ制御装置５Ｄの閾値情報記憶部５１Ｄは、さらに、予め設定された最大定員よりも少ないが実利用上で満員状態となるかご内利用者数の最小値を第２かご内人数閾値として記憶する。また、かご内利用者数が第１かご内人数閾値よりも多い場合にホールから乗り込みが期待できる人数の最大値を乗り込み人数閾値として記憶する。ここで、「実利用上で満員状態となるかご内利用者数」とは、最大定員より少ないが、新たに利用者が乗り込んだ実績がないかご内利用者数である。 << Fourth Embodiment >>
<Elevator configuration using the elevator control device according to the fourth embodiment>
Since the configuration of the elevator 1D according to the fourth embodiment of the present invention is the same as the configuration of the elevator 1A described in the first embodiment, detailed description of the portion having the same function will be omitted. In the present embodiment, the threshold information storage unit 51D of the elevator control device 5D further sets the minimum number of users in the car, which is smaller than the preset maximum capacity but is full in actual use, to the number of people in the second car. Store as a threshold. Further, when the number of users in the car is larger than the threshold value for the number of people in the first car, the maximum value of the number of people who can be expected to board from the hall is stored as the threshold value for the number of passengers. Here, the "number of users in the car that is full in actual use" is the number of users in the car that has no record of new users, although it is less than the maximum capacity.

次停止階判定部５６Ｄは、かご内利用者数検出部５２で検出されたかご内利用者数が第２かご内人数閾値以上のときには、登録されたホール呼びに応答せず、当該かご内利用者数が第２かご内人数閾値よりも少なく、第１かご内人数閾値以上であるときに、現在の乗りかご３の運転方向側にあり運転方向と同方向のホール呼びが登録されている階床を停止候補階床として認識し、認識した停止候補階床のうち、ホール利用者数検出部５４で検出されたホール利用者数が乗り込み人数閾値以下であり現在の乗りかご３の位置から最も近い階床を乗りかご３の次停止階として判定する。 When the number of users in the car detected by the number of users in the car 52 is equal to or greater than the threshold number of people in the second car, the next stop floor determination unit 56D does not respond to the registered hall call and uses the user in the car. When the number of people is less than the threshold for the number of people in the second car and equal to or greater than the threshold for the number of people in the first car, the floor on the driving direction side of the current car 3 and the hall call in the same direction as the driving direction is registered. The floor is recognized as a stop candidate floor, and among the recognized stop candidate floors, the number of hall users detected by the hall user number detection unit 54 is less than or equal to the boarding number threshold, and is the most from the current position of the car 3. The floor near the floor is determined as the next stop floor of the car 3.

ここで、ホール利用者数が乗り込み人数閾値以下の階床があると判定すると（Ｓ２７の「YES」）、該当する階床のうち、現在の乗りかご３の位置から最も近い階床を乗りかご３の次停止階として判定する。そして、判定された次停止階に停止するように、動作制御部５７によりエレベータ１Ｄ内の機器が制御され（Ｓ２８）、ステップＳ２１に戻る。 Here, if it is determined that there is a floor whose number of hall users is equal to or less than the number of passengers threshold (“YES” in S27), the floor closest to the current position of the car 3 among the corresponding floors is used as the car. It is determined as the next stop floor of 3. Then, the device in the elevator 1D is controlled by the operation control unit 57 so as to stop at the determined next stop floor (S28), and the process returns to step S21.

ステップＳ２７においてホール利用者数が乗り込み人数閾値以下の階床がないと判定されたときには（Ｓ２７の「NO」）、登録されたホール呼びへは非応答とし（Ｓ２３）、ステップＳ２１に戻る。また、ステップＳ２５において、現在の乗りかご３の運転方向側にあり運転方向と同方向のホール呼びが登録されている階床がないと判定されたとき（Ｓ２５の「NO」）には、ステップＳ２１に戻る。 When it is determined in step S27 that the number of hall users does not have a floor below the boarding number threshold value (“NO” in S27), the registered hall call is not responded (S23), and the process returns to step S21. Further, in step S25, when it is determined that there is no floor on the driving direction side of the current car 3 and in which the hall call in the same direction as the driving direction is registered (“NO” in S25), the step is taken. Return to S21.

以上の第４実施形態によれば、乗りかごがある程度混雑しているときに、ホール利用者数が所定値以下の階床のホール呼びのみに応答するようにすることで、エレベータの運転効率を向上させることができる。 According to the fourth embodiment described above, when the car is crowded to some extent, the elevator operation efficiency is improved by responding only to the hall call on the floor where the number of hall users is equal to or less than the predetermined value.
