Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Technical Field of the Invention] The present invention relates to an improvement in an elevator call registration device using a hall operation panel provided with a destination button at the hall.

[Prior art]

Conventionally, in an elevator, a hall call is registered using an up button and a down button provided at the hall, and a car is called by the hall call. Then, a passenger who has boarded the arriving car registers a car call using a destination button installed inside the car, and drives the car to the desired floor.

In this way, with the conventional landing button, it was necessary to operate the button twice, once at each landing and once inside the car. In order to eliminate this double trouble, the method described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-open No. 55-80659 provides a destination button similar to that in the car for the landing button on the first floor, and a destination button above the above floor. When the car is operated, the upper call of the above floor is registered, and when the lower destination button of the above floor is operated, the lower call of the above floor is registered, and when the car arrives, the above operated destination button is automatically pressed. The car call for the floor corresponding to the car is now registered. This is convenient because one passenger can save the trouble of operating the destination button inside the car.

1 to 3 show a conventional elevator operating system.

In Figure 1, X and Y are the landing doors of No. 1 and No. 2 cars, respectively, the landing area on the 3rd floor of Z-kei, and (LA) to (5A) are the doors of the landings of No. 1 and No. 2 cars, respectively.
~ Destination button to register the destination call corresponding to the 5th floor for both Units 1 and 2, (3U) is the up button to register the up call,
(31)) is the down button to register a down call, and the one line ahead button (I
A) - (5A).

The up button (3U) and down button (31) are arranged on the hall operation panel 01 installed in the passenger compartment 2 on the third floor.

(IB) to (5B) are the destination buttons (IA) for the 1st to 5th floors, respectively.
) - (5A) are built-in destination button lights that light up when a destination call for each of the 1st to 5th floors is registered. (3t) is built in the up button (3U) and lights up when an up-bound call is registered. (3DL) is the down button light built into the down button (3D), (1■) and (11Y) are car position indicators installed at the 3rd floor landing Z of Units 1 and 2, respectively. It is a vessel.

In Figure 1JW2, QTeng is an elevator group control device, (1
3A) is a hall call registration circuit provided in the group management device and registers the hall calls for each floor (up calls, down calls, 9 destination calls);

Similarly, with the well-known allocation circuit that selects and allocates the best car to serve the hall call, for example, it predicts and calculates the time it will take for each car to respond to the hall call on each floor and calculates the minimum time. This is to allocate a basket.

(14X) and (14Y) are the car control devices of No. 1 and No. 2, and (14AX) and (14AY) are provided in the car control devices (14X) and (14Y), respectively, and are used to send the hall call cancellation command signal ( The well-known hall call cancellation circuits (148X) and (148Y) that output (described later) are also
A well-known car call registration circuit that registers car calls for each car;
(14 (■), (14 (M) is also a well-known hall lantern control circuit that controls the lighting of the hall lanterns on each floor of each car, (1411 (14EX) and (14EX) are well-known operation control circuits that control basic operations such as running and stopping the car in order to respond to a call. The control circuit in Figure 3 corresponds to the 3rd floor of the hall call registration circuit (13A) and the easy call cancellation circuit (t=+AX), (14AY).
(301) to (:
305) is operated by the OC on the 3rd floor on the 1st to 5th floors.
When the 1st call is registered, the destination 0-to-bi signal becomes "II", (330) is the upward call signal which becomes "to 1" when the 3rd floor up call is registered, and (331)) 1317 is registered, the down call signal becomes [HJ, (
33LIX') and (3aIX) are the uplink assignment signal and the downlink assignment signal, respectively, which become `` when L1 Iso is assigned the 3rd floor up call and down call &, (33t
JY) and (33DY) are the 3rd floor ascending assignment signal and the 3rd floor descending 1liilj assignment signal of SonoL, respectively, and are set by the assignment circuit (x3B), respectively. (5:JX') and (55DX) are the up call cancellation command signal and the down call cancellation command signal that become "lI" when Unit 1 cancels the up call and down call of 3 south, and cancels the landing call of Unit 1. Circuit (1

(55[JY) and (55DY) are the up call cancellation command signal and the down call cancellation command signal of the second unit,
(43X) is the car position 11 signal that becomes "I (") when car No. 1 is on the 3rd floor, (43Y) is the car position signal of car No. 2, and (61X) is responding to the call for car No. 1 (3rd floor). The call answering signal becomes "I" when the door is opened, the door is closed again, and the door is just about to be closed.
1Y) is also No. 15 during the call response of No. 2 machine, and is set by the operation control circuit (14DX) and (141y), respectively. (54X) is "I ( ” The door switch [No. 8, (54Y) is also the door switch signal of No. 2 machine. (ea) ~ (
69) is a memory consisting of 7 resop flops, 1st lυ in which the signal of "work (") is not input to the R point, and rHJ to the 8th point.
When the signal is input, the memory contents 'i
Reset to "L".

(70) to (73) are AND gates, (74) to (77
) &yo0 gates, (78)-(81) are NOT gates 0 In the above configuration, now Unit 1 is on the 1st floor in the upward direction, and Unit 2 is on the 5th floor in the downward direction. Assuming that there is a parking lot, the 3rd floor car position signals (43X) and (43Y) are both [L-1, so the AND gate of the hall call cancellation circuit (14AX) and (14AY) of the first and second cars ( 70) to (73) are all rLJ, and the 3rd floor up call cancellation command signal (55UX) and (5
5LJY) are all 1-LJ, and the 3rd floor descending call cancellation command signal (551LX:) and (551Th') are also r
It is LJ.

In addition, the contents of memories (64) to (69) in the third floor circuit of the hall call registration circuit (13A) are all [1.1, destination call signals (301) to (305), up call signal (33
It is assumed that the downlink call signal (33D) and the downlink call signal (33D) are also all "L".

At this time, a passenger on the third floor pressed the destination button (4) on the hall operation panel α1.
When A) is pressed, the contents of the memo IJ (68) are set to rl, the 4th floor destination call signal (304) becomes "H", and the 4th floor destination button light (4B) on the 9th hall operation panel 00 lights up. 3
This notifies the passengers on the floor that the destination call has been registered, and also informs them that it will be automatically registered as a car call when the car arrives.

On the other hand, since the output of the 0 gate (77) also becomes "I("), the contents of the memory (67) are set to "H", and the third floor up call signal (33U) also becomes [iJ, The button light (3[,) also lights up.The assignment circuit (13B) assigns the No. 1 machine that is expected to be able to respond to the up call on the 3rd floor in the shortest time, and the 3rd floor up assignment signal (33Ux) is turned on.
Suppose you become HJ. When No. 1 departs from the 1st floor, stops in response to the up call from the 3rd floor, and starts opening the door, the 4th floor destination call signal (304) is sent directly to 4 in the first car's call registration circuit (14r3X), as is well known. The car call for the fourth floor is automatically registered by inputting it into the car call registration circuit for the floor.

Therefore, when a passenger on the third floor gets into the car of car No. 1, the car call on the fourth floor has already been registered, so the passenger does not need to press the destination button in the car.

When the car door begins to close after boarding and alighting.

The door switch signal (54X) becomes rLJ, so NO
The output of the '1' gate (78) is '11', and
3rd floor car position signal (43X) and 3rd floor up assignment signal (3
3 [JX) is also "11", so one door is closed just before the light is closed, and when the responding signal (61 Since the output of the gate (70), that is, the third floor up call cancellation command signal (55 [JX)] becomes "1 ("),
Memory (67) and (68) through 0 gate (77)
), the signal "I-■" is input to the station, and the 3rd floor up call signal (33U) and the 4th floor destination call signal (304) are I
-L J is reset, the 4th floor destination button light (4B) is also turned off, and after the door of No. 1 car is closed, it will leave the 3rd floor in order to respond to the call from the 4th floor.

The above is the operation when directly operating the destination button (4A) on the 4th floor. Destination buttons on the 1st, 2nd and 5th floors (]A), (
The same applies when operating 2A) and (5A).

Next, a noisy passenger who had not clearly decided on his destination floor,
Let's talk about using the elevator from the floor. This passenger has decided to go to a floor below the 3rd floor, but has not yet decided whether to go to the 2nd floor or the 1st floor. Down button (3
Press D). The lower button (3D) outputs the signal -qrI→, so the output of the 0 gate (75) is 11. Memo! + The contents of (64) are set to "H" and the third floor down call signal (331)) is r)xJ), 3
The downstairs button light (3DL) lights up. Therefore, the 9 allocation circuit (1313) immediately allocates the No. 2 car (on the 5th floor and stopped in the down direction), which is expected to be able to respond to the 3rd floor down call in the shortest time. Due to this assignment, the third floor down assignment signal (331)Y) of the second car becomes "■(").

On the other hand, before the passenger No. 2 arrived on the 3rd floor, the above passenger looked at the 1st floor floor information board, decided that his destination was the 1st floor, and pressed the 1st floor destination button (IA). Press to display memory (65)
The content of is set to ")1" and the 1st floor destination call signal (
301) becomes "[I", and the 1st floor destination button light (1B) on the 1st hall operation panel 61 lights up to notify the passenger that the 1st floor destination call has been registered.

Unit 2 stopped in response to a down call from the 3rd floor.

When the door starts to open, the door of Unit 2 is called @Yu circuit (1413
In Y), the first floor destination call signal (301) is directly input to the first floor car call registration circuit, and the first floor car call is automatically registered.

In this way, in the conventional example above, one row ahead ω11 (l old ~ (5
An up button (3U) and a down button (31J) are installed near B), and the up button (3U) and down button (313) are installed on the hill.
7, it is also possible to register upstream and downstream calls 2
Even if the destination floor is not clear, you can at least call the car quickly if you know the direction to go.◇ However, the floor where the destination button is installed (for example, the main floor) If the boarding area becomes extremely crowded with many passengers, some passengers may not be able to board the car because the car is full, or some passengers may not board the car because they do not want the car to be crowded. A car call based on the operated destination button will be registered in vain.

Registration of wasteful car calls like this often has little effect on elevator operation efficiency, such as waiting time for passengers on other floors, when elevator traffic is not very congested, but when elevator traffic is very busy, it is often not a problem. When elevators are crowded, the impact on elevator operation efficiency is significant.

[Summary of the invention]

This invention was made in view of the above-mentioned problems, and includes a destination button for calling a car and one destination 1j4'3': a destination button for specifying a destination, an up button for calling a car running upward, and a down button for calling a car running downward. At least one of the 1st destination button, up button, and down button in the elevator call registration with 1: Invalidate! ! When the traffic volume increases and the P8 customer cannot get into the car, the destination button is disabled by the above switching and f step. Even though there is no boarding, only the destination floor is specified and the elevator is a waste of IC;'
The purpose is to prevent the player from being turned over once.

[Embodiments of the invention]

An embodiment of the present invention will be described based on FIGS. 2, 4, and 5β-1. In the figure, (Lll)) is a direction-specific j5L consisting of an up button (3U) and a down button (31)).
i, (6L) are destination buttons (IA), (2A), (4
A) Destination wholesale valid light that lights up when the call registration according to (5,) is valid.

(7L) is registered by direction exit ((JD) is J'ii
t: This is a direction-specific button valid light that lights up when . (63)
is a registration restriction determination circuit consisting of a clock, which sets the registration prohibition signal (63a) to "H" when a preset time period (for example, !z:ao-xs:oo) comes.

This prevents registration of destination calls (301) to (305). (82) is NOT game), (83) and (8G
) are AND games that enable call registration using the down button (3U) and up button (3D) when the registration prohibition signal (63a) is rHJ, (84), (85),
(87) and (88) are the registration prohibition signals (63a), respectively.
) is an AND gate that allows calls to be registered using the destination buttons (IA), (2A), (4A), and (5A) for rLJ, Hcii, 2nd floor, 411t, and 5th floor. A above
ND gates (83) and (86) and the above AND gate (
84), (85), (87) and (88) are pressed down button (3D) and up button (3U) by registration prohibition signal (63a).
) and two rows ahead buttons (IA), (2A),
This constitutes a switching means for selectively disabling the button group consisting of (4A) and (5A).

In the configuration as described above, registration #J1 is registered at times other than the time period (12:00 to 13:00) when the number of passengers on the third floor is very large. The input ′+″i(6:+a) is rL
J, the direction-specific button valid light (7L) goes out, and the waiting customers are informed that the direction-specific exit (Ul)) multiplication J, 1% g+i bi C record is invalid. At this time, the output of the NOT gate (82) becomes [HJ, so 9 lines ahead f'fJ
i', i:1-1(I
A), (2A)-(4A), (5A) t' confirm that automatic registration of hall calls and car calls are valid.
r Inform customers.

Therefore, the passengers on the third floor 'I l! i' (If you press the -1 button (・IA), the output of (87) is rHJ, so the memory (t
The contents of Q8) are changed to "l(" and the destination is called ()).
1♂-4) (504) becomes LIJ, and the 41 destination button light (411) 7'P lights up.At the same time, KO game-1.
(78) With some effort, the contents of the memory (67) are also changed to "l("), and the third floor up call (33U) becomes "II". However, the registration prohibition signal (63a) becomes "L". Therefore, the output of (89) also becomes "1," and the upstream I11' phantom recording light (3UL) does not light up.

On the other hand, even if a passenger on the 3rd floor presses the 3rd floor up button (3U) instead of the 4th floor destination button (4A), the registration prohibition signal (6
3a) is rI, J (2) 7ca6 A N D Kate (86') (7) Output is also I"'4J, ongu)

At 13:00>, the registration prohibition signal (63a) is rH.
J, the direction button valid light (7L) is lit, and conversely, the destination button valid light (6L) is turned off.

At this time, the output of the NOT'T' gate (82) is rLJ, so even if you press the destination buttons (4A) and (5A), the AND
) (87) and (88) will not result in rHJ, and registration of the 9th destination call (304), (305) and uplink call (33[J) will be blocked. In addition, a passenger on the third floor saw that the directional button activation light (7L) was on and pressed the up button (
If you press 3U), the output of A, ND game) (s6) will be "l(", so the contents of memo IJ (67) will be sent to "I[" through oa gate (77) and 3
The upstairs call signal (33U) also becomes "HJ. At the same time, A
3rd floor up call registration light (at
JL) lights up to notify passengers that an upbound call has been registered. The same is true when pressing the destination button (IB) or (2I3) in the downward/downward direction. In this way, in the Kamikigo example, in addition to the destination button, directional exits are provided at platform 9,
°Times when there are a lot of passengers on the 3rd floor (12:00~t)
3:oo) When the automatic registration of car calls using the destination button at the first platform was disabled, registration of hall calls using direction-specific exits was enabled, so passengers could call for the elevator car without confusion. can. In addition, valid lights are provided near the destination buttons and direction exits so that it can be seen at a glance whether the call registration is valid or not, making the elevator even easier to use.

Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the automatic registration of car calls is performed at C when the car arrives, but the timing of registering the car call schedule J is not limited to this.
As described in Japanese Patent No. 7-24310, a destination call using a destination button may be performed when a car is assigned to a car, and the timing of automatic registration of car calls does not matter.

Yet again. In the above embodiment, when the floor of the operated destination button is above the floor where the hall operation panel is installed, an up call is registered, and when it is below, a down call is registered, and in response to an up call and a down call. Although we have explained how to allocate one car to each car, this is not the only way to allocate one car to each platform call (destination calls, upbound calls, and downbound calls are collectively referred to as this). Needless to say, the present invention can also be applied to a method of allocating an optimal car for each destination call, as described in Japanese Patent Publication No. Sho 57-24310, p.

Yet again. In the husband hTx example above, a time period is set in advance when there are a large number of visitors on a specific floor (=31 people), and automatic registration of car calls using the landing destination button is prohibited during this time period. As explained above, the limiting conditions for automatic car call registration are limited to these. The number of car calls that can be registered is prohibited, or the number of car calls that can be registered is limited, and the number of waiting passengers is detected by installing a device such as an industrial 1' V camera in the landing area. It can also be applied to a method that limits automatic registration.

Yet again. The conditions for restricting the automatic registration of car calls are not limited to the amount of traffic. For example, the condition may be such that the occurrence status of wasted calls is recorded every day, and when the number exceeds a predetermined value, a restriction is imposed.

Furthermore, the first destination button is set to the first group of destination buttons corresponding to the landings above the installed stations J, L, and S, and the second group of destination buttons corresponding to the landings below the installed stations. and the destination button, and selectively disable the upper button and the destination button of the above group.

The desired purpose can also be achieved by selectively disabling the lower fly and the second group of destination buttons.

Yet again. In the above embodiment, when the destination button and the directional exit are valid, the valid keys (6L) and (7L) are lit to notify the passenger, but the display means is not limited to this. For example, it may be constructed of a device that displays images and graphics, such as a cathode ray tube, and displays the validity or invalidity of destination buttons and directional exits using characters or graphics. In addition, a display to that effect may be displayed not only at the landing, but also inside the car, in the manager's room, etc.Furthermore, the means for specifying the destination floor at the 9th platform is a destination button corresponding to each floor, but the destination floor can be specified. The means for doing so is not limited to this; for example, a dial type or a destination button with a numeric keypad may be used.

Yet again. In the above example, the landing destination buttons are enabled (~, and the separate exits for each direction are disabled) except during times when the number of passengers on the third floor is very large (other than x2:oo~13:00).
By having passengers operate the oak destination buttons as much as possible, we use information about their destination floor to improve the accuracy of the predicted time (predicted waiting time) for each car to respond to calls on each floor. The purpose is to improve group management performance by reducing waiting time. Therefore 11
It is not necessarily necessary to disable the directional buttons unless the purpose is to improve the performance of winnowing.9 It is not necessary to disable the directional buttons for the purpose of improving the ease of use of the elevator except during times when there are a large number of passengers. Both may be enabled. In this case, even if you are not sure of your destination floor, it is very convenient because you can call for a car using the Sunzu Direction Separate Gate and then specify the destination floor using the landing button before the car arrives.

Yet again. The number of floors of a building is not limited to five, and the number of cars is not limited to two.

[Invention effect]

As mentioned above, this invention includes a destination button for calling the car and specifying the destination floor.

In an elevator call registration device, which is equipped with an up button that calls up a car that is running upwards, and a down button that calls up a car that is running down the same direction, at least one of the 1st destination button, the up button, and the down button. Since the gold-plated switching means disables the destination button, when the traffic volume increases and it is difficult for passengers at the platform to get into the cars, the above switching means disables the destination button so that two passengers can board the car. Even though there is no destination l5i7
It has the effect of preventing the elevator from being operated in vain due to fingers being added.
