In addition, below, sometimes the calling inputted from above-mentioned car input media 120a is called " car call ", the calling inputted is called " hall calling " from hall input media 160, to distinguish both.

Group management control device 1 is electrically connected with each car control setup 122, hall input media 160, hall guiding device 170 etc., carries out various control.Group management control device 1 and each car control setup 122 carry out communication, the transmitting-receiving of detection signal or the information such as drive singal, control command mutually, carry out fabric anomaly to eleva-tor bank 2.Group management control device 1 receives the hall call information from hall input media 160, selects, determines the cage 120 of response hall calling from multiple cage 120.Group management control device 1 generates and upgrades the operational plan distributing car, and is sent to corresponding car control setup 122.Group management control device 1 has microcomputer and driving circuit, and described microcomputer has such as by the interconnective CPU of two-way common bus (central processing unit) of usual form, ROM, RAM, RAM for subsequent use and input/output port device.ROM (read-only memory (ROM)) prestores the control program etc. of regulation.RAM (random access memory) temporarily stores the operation result of CPU.The information of RAM for subsequent use to the specification of pre-prepd mapping (enum) data, corresponding elevator 3 etc. stores.

In addition, below, sometimes the cage 120 that Response to selection hall is called out is called " distribution ", is called by the cage 120 selected " distribution car ".

Group management control device 1 comprises fabric anomaly control part 130, time of run control part 140, display control unit 150 on concept of function.Fabric anomaly control part 130 typically carries out hall call distribution to the allocation process of certain cage 120.Time of run control part 140 uses various controling parameters to set when typically distributing fabric anomaly control part 130.As described later, the car mask that the fabric anomaly control part 130 of present embodiment generates based on the time of run management department 144 of time of run control part 140, manages the operation of multiple cage 120.The read out instrument etc. of display control unit 150 couples of car guiding device 120b or hall guiding device 170 controls.

Fabric anomaly control part 130 comprises car status recording unit 131, distributes car selection section 132, cage operation control part 133, mask management department 134 etc. on concept of function.

Car status recording unit 131 collects the information relevant with each cage 120 and car information constantly from each car control setup 122.Car information comprises the information such as open and-shut mode, load data of the position of such as operating cage 120, direct of travel, door.Load data comprises taking load and unloading load of above-mentioned each floor.Again, car information also comprises such as relevant with the running of cage 120 running consumption of current.At this, car status recording unit 131 generates the logout after being merged by these car informations.Such as in Fig. 2 described later, an example of the logout generated exemplified with car status recording unit 131.

Distribute car selection section 132 and receive hall call information from hall input media 160, and the cage 120 of response hall calling is distributed.Multiple method can be used as distribution method.Distribute the distribution method that car selection section 132 such as can utilize the following stated, respectively cage 120 is used to the evaluation function of regulation, calculate the predictor of non-response time according to car status when distributing, distribution forecast is worth minimum cage 120 as distribution car.At this, non-response time is typically equivalent to occur until cage 120 responds the calling of this hall, namely until cage 120 arrives at the generation floor of hall calling and the time gap opened of door from hall calling.

Cage operation control part 133, based on the allocation result of distributing car selection section 132, the hall calling do not responded and the car call etc. do not responded, generates the operational plan of each cage 120.At this, the calling of the hall that do not respond, the car call do not responded refer to hall calling that response do not complete, car call respectively.The operational plan of each cage 120 is sent to corresponding car control setup 122 by cage operation control part 133 respectively.

Mask management department 134, when distributing car selection section 132 and distributing, is designated as the cage 120 of the candidate distributing car.The cage 120 becoming the candidate distributing car is not limited to whole car.In other words, mask management department 134, when distributing car selection section 132 and distributing, specifies the cage 120 (being set to indistributable cage 120) of restriction response hall calling.As an example, mask management department 134 when such as carrying out limiting the such control of the candidate that distributes car with high-storey and low floor, can distribute for the management of each cage 120 or the hall calling of inseparable annex layer, the information of car call.Further, mask management department 134 such as can distribute the cage 120 of the hall calling of this floor alternatively when the distribution of hall calling, select to distribute car from this candidate.The mask management department 134 of present embodiment, based on the controling parameters of the mask information sent from time of run control part 140 described later etc., specifies the cage 120 becoming the candidate distributing car.

Next, time of run control part 140 calculates number of taking in the certain hour interval of the regulation preset, average non-response time, running consumption of current etc. according to logout, as with by the relevant actual achievement value of the eleva-tor bank 2 of fabric anomaly.Time of run control part 140 compares the actual achievement value calculated and the energy conservation object value be preset, and result changes time of run controling parameters (for controlling the parameter of time of run) based on the comparison.Further, time of run control part 140 makes the time of run calendar of each cage 120 according to the time of run controling parameters changed, and is converted to mask information, and is sent to mask management department 134.At this, the certain hour interval of afore mentioned rules is equivalent to energy-conservation unit interval, is sometimes only called in the following description " unit interval ".This unit interval is unit interval when adjusting energy-conservation grade, is optionally set.Such as unit interval being set to 30 minutes intervals to be described, but being not limited thereto, also can be 5 minutes intervals, 10 minutes intervals, 60 minutes intervals etc.

Specifically, time of run control part 140 comprises actual achievement Department of Statistics 141, goal setting section 142, time of run adjustment part 143, time of run management department 144 etc. on concept of function.

Actual achievement Department of Statistics 141 adds up the fabric anomaly performance actual achievement value of each unit interval from car status recording unit 131.Actual achievement Department of Statistics 141 adds up non-response time actual achievement value, and described non-response time actual achievement value is the time i.e. actual achievement value of non-response time from the calling of registration hall to described cage 120 is called out in response to this hall.The actual achievement Department of Statistics 141 of present embodiment is at least added up the aviation value i.e. average non-response time of the non-response time actual achievement value of the cage 120 of each unit interval be preset, as with by the relevant actual achievement value (fabric anomaly performance actual achievement value) of the eleva-tor bank 2 of fabric anomaly.At this, further, actual achievement Department of Statistics 141 also can add up the running consumption of current actual achievement value of user's number actual achievement value of each unit interval, each unit interval, as the actual achievement value relevant with eleva-tor bank 2.At this, user's number actual achievement value refers to the actual achievement value of the number utilizing eleva-tor bank 2.The actual achievement value of the electricity that running consumption of current actual achievement value consumes when referring to that eleva-tor bank 2 operates.Actual achievement Department of Statistics 141 such as reads logout from car status recording unit 131, based on this logout, generates and stores actual achievement statistics, as the actual achievement value relevant with above-mentioned eleva-tor bank 2.

At this, Fig. 2 is the figure of the example that the logout that car status recording unit 131 generates is shown.If the action (Action) of regulation occurs each cage 120, car status recording unit 131 records the data as illustrated in Fig. 2.At this, as the action of regulation, such as, there are hall calling add (Add Hall Call), hall calling eliminate (Delete Hall Call), lifting start (Start Run), lifting stop (Stop Run), open the door (Door Open), close the door (Door Closed) etc.At this, hall calling adds and refers to when user operates hall input media 160, correspondingly registers the action of new hall calling.Hall calling is eliminated and is referred to for the hall calling of registration by operation hall input media 160, when some cages 120 respond and reach the floor carrying out this hall calling, the action that the hall calling this response completed is eliminated.Again, as the data of record, such as there are the moment (time [sec]) of the action that regulation occurs, hall calling ID sequence number (Hall Call), the direction (Direction) of the direct of travel/hall calling of cage 120, the lifting having carried out cage 120 starts to be elevated the floor (At Floor) that the floor that stops/carried out hall calling adds, the ID sequence number (Car Call) of car call, destination floor (To Floor), take load (Load Weight), unloading load (Unload Weight), running consumption of current (Energy [kWh]) etc.In addition, running consumption of current is the electricity consumed when making cage 120 run, and such as, once to operate consumption of current every specific time (be every 30 seconds at this) record.

The illustration of Fig. 2 illustrates that the cage 120 (cage 120 of No. 1 machine) of CarID=1 is from the state being empty car, with the situation of the order movement of 1 layer → 7 layers → 9 layers → 5 layers → 1 layer → 10 layers.At this, stopping at the cars of 7 layers, 5 layers, 10 layers is the response of calling out hall, is the response to car call the car stop of 9 layers, 1 layer.At this, CarID refers to as described above for the identification serial number that each cage 120 sets respectively.Such as, be called CarID=1 as by the cage 120 of No. 1 machine, the cage 120 of No. 2 machines is called CarID=2 ... like this, CarID is given in order to the cage 120 of each machine can be distinguished respectively to each cage 120.Car status recording unit 131 is when each lifting starts the action of (Start Run), according to be about to before each floor stops and mobile just start after the change of car load, record is taken load (Load Weight) and is unloaded load (Unload Weight).The illustration of Fig. 2 illustrates such as in the moment (time)=18, carry 135kg at the 7th layer, in the moment (time)=31, unloads 135kg at the 9th layer.

The logout as shown in Figure 2 that actual achievement Department of Statistics 141 records according to car status recording unit 131, to the average non-response time actual achievement value of the cage 120 of each unit interval, user's number actual achievement value of each unit interval, the running consumption of current actual achievement value etc. of each unit interval is added up.

At this, non-response time actual achievement value such as can be defined as each hall calling ID sequence number (Hall Call), to add (Add Hall Call) from hall calling and eliminate the time (Delete Hall Call) to hall calling.Actual achievement Department of Statistics 141, by calculating the aviation value (such as, center line average values) of this non-response time actual achievement value to each unit interval, can calculate the average non-response time actual achievement value of each unit interval.In addition, for calling out ID sequence number calculating the hall not having hall call out in the unit interval of average non-response time actual achievement value, actual achievement Department of Statistics 141 can make in its calculating not included in the aviation value of this unit interval.On the contrary, for not having hall to call out additional hall calling ID sequence number in the unit interval calculating average non-response time actual achievement value, actual achievement Department of Statistics 141 can calculate the aviation value from previous interval to this unit interval.

Again, actual achievement Department of Statistics 141, when calculating user's number actual achievement value of each unit interval, can calculate this user's number actual achievement value as following.Namely, actual achievement Department of Statistics 141 obtain take load (Load Weight) and, to round up, as user's number of taking in this unit interval by this with divided by the estimation body weight per capita preset (such as, about 65kg).Actual achievement Department of Statistics 141 by obtain at unit time interval the number of like this presumption and, user's number actual achievement value of each unit interval can be calculated.

Again, actual achievement Department of Statistics 141 is when calculating the running consumption of current actual achievement value of each unit interval, by obtain at unit time interval every specific time record running consumption of current (Energy [kWh]) and, the running consumption of current actual achievement value of each unit interval can be calculated.At this, the running consumption of current being recorded in logout such as can adopt the value of the electricity meter being arranged at each cage 120.When not arranging this electricity meter, actual achievement Department of Statistics 141 calculates the running consumption of current actual achievement value of each unit interval as following.Namely, the logout etc. of actual achievement Department of Statistics 141 according to Fig. 2, based on from the lifting of 1 time (Start Run) to the miles of relative movement, direction, car load etc. that are elevated stopping (Stop Run), utilize the electricity meter formula of regulation, calculate running consumption of current presumed value.Further, actual achievement Department of Statistics 141, based on the running consumption of current presumed value calculated, calculates the running consumption of current actual achievement value of each unit interval.

Actual achievement Department of Statistics 141, for whole cages 120, carries out the statistics of running consumption of current actual achievement value of the average non-response time actual achievement value of each unit interval, user's number actual achievement value of each unit interval, each unit interval.Further, the running consumption of current actual achievement value of the average non-response time actual achievement value of each unit interval counted on, user's number actual achievement value of each unit interval, each unit interval sends and is registered in time of run management department 144 by actual achievement Department of Statistics 141.

Goal setting section 142 sets the energy conservation object value of eleva-tor bank 2.Energy conservation object value is preset by the energy-conservation degree etc. as requested such as supvr, system operator in the building being provided with this Elevator pack management control system 100.The expected value of non-response time i.e. non-response time expected value is set as energy conservation object value by goal setting section 142.The expected value of the average non-response time actual achievement value of each unit interval i.e. average non-response time expected value is set as energy conservation object value by the goal setting section 142 of present embodiment.Wait for also by the non-response time of allowing even if this average non-response time expected value to be typically equivalent to this expected value all preferentially energy-conservation user of allowing.Put it briefly, if the average non-response time actual achievement value of above-mentioned each unit interval has well-to-do relative to average non-response time expected value, then to improve Power Saving Class described later further energy-conservation to seek for the group management control device 1 of present embodiment.On the other hand, if the average non-response time actual achievement value of above-mentioned each unit interval does not have well-to-do relative to average non-response time expected value, then the group management control device 1 of present embodiment reduces Power Saving Class to seek guaranteeing of service performance.Goal setting section 142 can adopt multiple method to set energy conservation object value.

As the first establishing method, the person of being managed such as can wait the average non-response time expected value set arbitrarily by input media etc. to be directly set as energy conservation object value by goal setting section 142.In this situation, on average non-response time expected value according to the time period of unit interval, can set different values.That is, on average non-response time expected value can be such as 20 seconds as early morning and the late into the night, daytime is set different values for each time period 30 seconds longer than it.

Again, as the second establishing method, goal setting section 142 such as can wait based on the person of being managed target running consumption of current reduction rate (%) of a day set arbitrarily by input media etc., calculates the average non-response time expected value that can allow, sets it to energy conservation object value.At this, the target of day running consumption of current reduction rate can represent with the such as running consumption of current actual achievement value of mono-day [the running consumption of current actual achievement value of one day (operate for-one day consumption of current expected value) /] × 100.In this situation, goal setting section 142 such as based on the target running consumption of current reduction rate not having the running consumption of current actual achievement value of under Energy-saving Situation a day and a day of presetting on date becoming benchmark, calculates running consumption of current expected value.Further, goal setting section 142 sets the average non-response time expected value that can allow, thus makes the running consumption of current actual achievement value of each unit interval counted by actual achievement Department of Statistics 141 converge on running consumption of current expected value.That is, in this situation, group management control device 1 makes average non-response time expected value increase and decrease, while adjust the Power Saving Class of each unit interval.In addition, the above-mentioned date becoming benchmark can be arbitrary one day that such as supvr etc. determines, maybe can be set to monthly 1 day, adopt various method to determine.Again, the running consumption of current actual achievement value of a day under Energy-saving Situation that do not have becoming the date of benchmark uses the value counted by actual achievement Department of Statistics 141, again, such as, also can use the aviation value of a week.Again, the judgment standard that the consumption of current actual achievement value that operates converges on running consumption of current expected value is not limited in the situation of running consumption of current actual achievement value=running consumption of current expected value.Goal setting section 142, such as when meeting following conditional (1), also can be judged as that running consumption of current actual achievement value converges on running consumption of current expected value.In conditional (1), " β " represents the allowance error preset.

| running consumption of current actual achievement value-running consumption of current expected value |≤β ... (1)

Roughly distinguish, the first above-mentioned establishing method is on the basis of the tolerance range specifying service performance, also within the scope of this, seeks energy-conservation method.On the other hand, the second above-mentioned establishing method directly specifies energy-conservation completion rate, not to the method for service performance setting limit.

In addition, the time of run control part 140 of present embodiment is as described below, and Power Saving Class is just changed in time per unit interval, and dynamically changes car time of run, controls for making average non-response time actual achievement value become average non-response time expected value.Now, time of run control part 140 can set in advance not carry out the energy-conservation time period, thereby, it is possible to the risk that the service performance avoiding this time period declines.In this situation, such as, at random registered not carrying out the energy-conservation time period by supvr etc. by input media etc.The time period of registration also can be multiple.Such as, for (such as, when 8-9 time) when being predicted as crowded working time period, come off duty time (such as, 17 time-18 time) time period, when preventing service performance from declining, this time period being registered as and not carrying out the energy-conservation time period.

At this, Fig. 3 is the figure of an example of the inputting interface that the goal-setting utilizing goal setting section 142 is shown.The display part etc. of input media is such as displayed at the illustrative inputting interface of Fig. 3.The illustration of Fig. 3 is that the situation by the second above-mentioned establishing method setting energy conservation object value is shown, within one day, running consumption of current reduction rate is set as 10%, and the consumption of current Base day becoming comparison other is set to monthly 1 day.In addition, the illustration of Fig. 3 shows morning 8, up to 9 time and at dusk 17 time periods up to 18 time were registered as the situation of not energy-conservation time period (not carrying out the energy-conservation time period).

Time of run adjustment part 143 adjusts the time of run of each cage 120 according to fabric anomaly performance actual achievement value and energy conservation object value, thus the average non-response time actual achievement value of adjustment.Time of run adjustment part 143, by the Power Saving Class of each unit interval of adjustment, adjusts the time of run of each cage 120.Time of run adjustment part 143 adjusts Power Saving Class and converges on to make the non-response time actual achievement value counted by actual achievement Department of Statistics 141 the non-response time expected value set by goal setting section 142.At this in more detail, the Power Saving Class that time of run adjustment part 143 adjusts each unit interval converges on the average non-response time actual achievement value of each unit interval counted by actual achievement Department of Statistics 141 made the average non-response time expected value set by goal setting section 142.Thus, time of run adjustment part 143 adjusts the time of run of each cage 120, and adjusts the average non-response time actual achievement value of each unit interval.

Below, first, to the situation being set energy conservation object value by the first establishing method, that is, directly the situation of the average non-response time expected value of setting is described.

In this situation, time of run adjustment part 143, when the average non-response time actual achievement value of each unit interval counted by actual achievement Department of Statistics 141 is larger than the average non-response time expected value set by goal setting section 142, reduces the Power Saving Class of this unit interval relatively.On the other hand, time of run adjustment part 143, when the average non-response time actual achievement value of each unit interval counted by actual achievement Department of Statistics 141 is less than the average non-response time expected value set by goal setting section 142, increases the Power Saving Class of this unit interval relatively.Thus, time of run adjustment part 143 converges on average non-response time expected value to each unit interval adjustment Power Saving Class to make the average non-response time actual achievement value of each unit interval.

At this, the definition of Power Saving Class is described.Power Saving Class refers to the index of the energy-conservation degree representing eleva-tor bank 2.The non-response time actual achievement value that the impact of its energy-conservation degree is above-mentioned, has this energy-conservation degree relatively higher, the tendency that above-mentioned non-response time actual achievement value is relatively longer.At this, Power Saving Class represents the energy-conservation degree of each unit interval.Further, Power Saving Class is set to Power Saving Class relatively larger then energy-conservation degree is relative higher.In other words, to be set to the relatively larger consumption of current actual achievement value that then operates of Power Saving Class relative less for Power Saving Class.

The Power Saving Class of present embodiment is at least determined according to the operating number of cage 120.Such as Fig. 4 is illustrative, Power Saving Class is defined as, along with the Power Saving Class 0 (Level0) operated from whole number of units is to Power Saving Class 1 (Level1), Power Saving Class 2 (Level2) ... such grade uprises, and reduces operating number successively.In Fig. 4, illustrative table of grading is such as the purpose of reflection supvr etc. and makes in advance.Thus, Power Saving Class is set to, and Power Saving Class is relatively larger, then operating number tails off relatively, and running consumption of current actual achievement value diminishes relatively, and energy-conservation degree improves relatively.

Fig. 4 is table of grading when illustrating that whole cages 120 is 4.In the table of grading of Fig. 4, the operating number of Power Saving Class 0 (Level0) is 4, in other words, is equivalent to do not have energy-conservation state.Further, in the table of grading of Fig. 4, seven grades are defined with comprising Power Saving Class 0 (Level0), until operating number becomes 1.

At this, in order to Power Saving Class can be divided carry out finer division by In Grade, decide Power Saving Class according to the operating number of cage 120 and frequency (ピ ッ チ).Further, the operating number of the cage 120 of definition Power Saving Class is the average operating number of each unit time, can be expressed as the parameter of desirable decimal.This operating number gets the value (in this case 4) corresponding to the number of units of whole cages 120 of eleva-tor bank 2 at the lowest class of Power Saving Class, i.e. Power Saving Class 0 (Level0), often improves Power Saving Class just reduce operating number from the lowest class.At this, the every going up one level of Power Saving Class, this operating number just reduces 0.5.When this operating number is integer, its number of units becomes distribution object, that is, this operating number represents that this integer platform is assignable state.On the other hand, when this operating number is decimal, represent the ratio of the assignable time in unit interval.Again, said frequencies refers to the numerical value that operating number is prescribed when getting decimal.Said frequencies refers to and responds the relevant parameter of switching interval between the state of calling out and the state not responding calling with making the cage 120 of regulation.That is, said frequencies represents that the cage 120 of regulation distributes/indistributable number of iterations in unit interval.

At this, with reference to Fig. 5, Fig. 6, carry out more specifically bright to the relation between the operating number of the cage 120 of definition Power Saving Class and frequency.The transverse axis of Fig. 5, Fig. 6 is set to time shaft t, and the longitudinal axis is set to ON/OFF.At this, as an example, unit interval is set to 60 minutes.Again, in Fig. 5, Fig. 6, ON represents can distribute hall calling (can distribute), and OFF represents that not distributing hall calls out (can not distribute).

Fig. 5 illustrates that operating number is 3.5, frequency is the situation of 1.In this situation, represent that three cages 120 are always the state can distributing (ON), on the other hand, a remaining cage 120 only became at latter 30 minutes the state can not distributing (OFF).In this situation, the operating number in unit interval be first 30 minutes using four as distribution object, latter 30 minutes using three as distribution object, therefore average out to 3.5 running.

On the other hand, Fig. 6 illustrates that operating number is 3.5, frequency is the situation of 6.In this situation, represent that three cages 120 are always the state can distributing (ON), on the other hand, a remaining cage 120 in unit interval by carried out every 5 minutes distribute (ON) and the switching that can not distribute between (OFF) repeats six times.In this situation, the operating number average out in unit interval 3.5 running.But even if the cage 120 of regulation becomes can not distribute from distributing, this car 120 is also not limited to and stops immediately in this moment.Such as, if user in taking then cage 120 operate to its from car, there is no user in this cage 120 after just stop.In this situation, at this cage 120 to the calling of whole halls, after car call replys, detecting that car load stops this cage 120 after having become 0.

In each Power Saving Class, owing to being integer (such as 3) at operating number, this time period always operates with this number of units, does not therefore need frequency number as described above.On the other hand, in each Power Saving Class, when operating number gets decimal, by the switching times utilizing frequency number to specify the ON/OFF in this time period, determine the calendar of ON/OFF as described above.That is, this group management control device 1 is by suitably setting operating number and these two parameters of frequency of each Power Saving Class, can be set to various by the pattern of the time of run calendar of the ON/OFF of the cage 120 at unit time interval.Group management control device 1, by setting the table of grading of the Power Saving Class as illustrated in Fig. 4 in advance, can set the pattern of the time of run calendar of the ON/OFF of this cage 120.Group management control device 1 is turned into standing time little by little elongated such time of run calendar of words that never energy-conservation Power Saving Class 0 upgrades successively then each cage 120, energy-conservation degree grow.Again, group management control device 1 by setting this Power Saving Class more meticulously as described above, then can carry out energy-conservation small adjustment.Again, now, as shown in Figure 6 illustrates, group management control device 1 is by being set as relatively increasing frequency number, in unit interval, switch four runnings and three runnings meticulously, thus can suppress the more cataclysmal situation of service performance in this unit interval.

In addition, as described above the cage 120 that can distribute (ON) and can not distribute the regulation that (OFF) switches can the person of being managed etc. be preset, also can select according to the situation of each cage 120.

Next, the method being adjusted Power Saving Class by time of run adjustment part 143 is described.

Time of run adjustment part 143 such as carried out with unit interval fabric anomaly control after, the average non-response time actual achievement value reading the unit interval of this time period counted by actual achievement Department of Statistics 141 and the average non-response time expected value set by goal setting section 142.Further, time of run adjustment part 143 compares the average non-response time actual achievement value of the unit interval of this time period and average non-response time expected value.Time of run adjustment part 143, when this average non-response time actual achievement value is larger than average non-response time expected value, reduces the Power Saving Class of this unit interval relatively.Time of run adjustment part 143, when this average non-response time actual achievement value is less than average non-response time expected value, increases the Power Saving Class of this unit interval relatively.

At this, the Power Saving Class of each unit interval, such as in units of one day, is changed step by step in time of run adjustment part 143.That is, time of run adjustment part 143 is when the average non-response time actual achievement value of the unit interval of certain time period is larger than average non-response time expected value, and the Power Saving Class of the unit interval of this time period of second day is reduced one-level.On the other hand, the Power Saving Class of the unit interval of this time period of second day, when the average non-response time actual achievement value of the unit interval of certain time period is less than average non-response time expected value, is increased one-level by time of run adjustment part 143.In addition, Power Saving Class, in consideration variation etc., on average the difference of non-response time actual achievement value and average non-response time expected value is within the tolerance δ preset (such as 3 seconds), can not be changed in time of run adjustment part 143.Power Saving Class, when changing Power Saving Class, is sent to time of run management department 144 by time of run adjustment part 143, upgrades by the Power Saving Class of registration to this time period of time of run management department 144.

In addition, time of run adjustment part 143 is described above, can set and not carry out the energy-conservation time period.Time of run adjustment part 143 can set the time period do not adjusted the Power Saving Class of each unit interval in advance.Time of run adjustment part 143 such as set in Fig. 3, can by crowded for prediction working time, the time of coming off duty equal time section be set as the time period not adjusting Power Saving Class.Thus, this group management control device 1 equal time section can suppress the remarkable reduction of service performance when crowded.

Again, time of run adjustment part 143 can the initial value of the Power Saving Class of each unit interval of individual settings in advance.Time of run adjustment part 143 such as can set the initial value of the Power Saving Class clearly predicting the lonely time period in advance higher.On the contrary, time of run adjustment part 143 such as can set the initial value of the Power Saving Class clearly predicting the crowded time period in advance lower.Thus, the Power Saving Class of each unit interval can be adjusted to suitable grade by this group management control device 1 in early days.

Time of run management department 144, according to the Power Saving Class of each unit interval adjusted by time of run adjustment part 143, changes the time of run controling parameters in eleva-tor bank 2, management time of run etc.Time of run management department 144, based on the Power Saving Class of each unit interval adjusted by time of run adjustment part 143, generates car mask as this time of run controling parameters, and carries out renewal management.At this, car mask refers to the time of run controling parameters for limiting the cage 120 that can respond hall calling.In other words, car mask refers to the time of run controling parameters for reducing the candidate of the cage 120 distributing the hall calling generated.Time of run management department 144 makes the mask information corresponding to time of run calendar of each cage 120 etc. according to the time of run controling parameters changed, and this mask information is sent to mask management department 134.Thus, time of run management department 144 carries out dynamic more new management to the car time of run of each unit interval, average non-response time actual achievement value etc.

At this, with reference to the diagram of circuit of Fig. 7, an example of the control of group management control device 1 is described, while be described in more detail time of run management department 144 etc.This Fig. 7 illustrates the treatment scheme of some day.The eleva-tor bank management control method of present embodiment is carried out by this group management control device 1 substantially.Eleva-tor bank management control method comprises actual achievement statistics operation, goal-setting operation, time of run adjustment operation and time of run management operation.

First, as goal-setting operation, goal setting section 142 is according to the input setting energy conservation object value from supvr etc., the permissible average non-response time expected value of setting at this, time of run management department 144 reads this average non-response time expected value, with time per unit interval write (step S1).

Next, time of run management department 144 judges whether this day is the running first day (step S2) that eleva-tor bank manages.Time of run adjustment part 143 is when being judged as that by time of run management department 144 this day is the running first day (step S2: yes), the Power Saving Class of one day whole each unit interval is set as the initial value (step S3) preset, and is advanced into step S5.Time of run adjustment part 143 is when being judged as that by time of run management department 144 this day is not the running first day (step S2: no), the value (step S4) Power Saving Class at each time per unit interval of a day is set as the previous day adjusts, and process is advanced into step S5.

Next, time of run management department 144 judges whether the elevator running of a day terminates (step S5) in step s 5.Time of run management department 144, when being judged as that the elevator running of a day terminates (step S5: yes), terminates the control of this day.

Time of run management department 144 is when being judged as that the elevator running of a day does not terminate (step S5: no), as time of run management operation, based on the Power Saving Class of each unit interval, generate car mask (step S6).At this, time of run management department 144 such as illustrates such table of grading operating number, the frequency of the Power Saving Class of the unit interval reading out the next time period from Fig. 4.Further, the mask information corresponding to this car mask by operating number, the frequency generation car mask of this Power Saving Class read, and is sent to mask management department 134 by time of run management department 144.

At this, car mask defines each UP hall calling of each floor, the distributing/can not distribute of DOWN hall calling in the arbitrary moment to each of each cage 120.Fig. 8, Fig. 9 are examples of the car mask generated by time of run management department 144, using 1 layer ~ 10 layers as object floor.Substantially, the car mask of Fig. 8 or Fig. 9 is all set together with the object moment (object time period) for whole cages 120.Fig. 8 is assignable car mask.This assignable car mask is due to hall calling (UP) not from 10 layers of upward direction of the superiors, from undermost 1 layer in downward direction hall calling (DOWN), therefore to this hall calling be usually set to " 0 (can not distribute) ".Further, the hall calling of this assignable car mask to other is all set to " 1 (can distribute) ".On the other hand, Fig. 9 is indistributable car mask.This indistributable car mask is all set to " 0 (can not distribute) " the calling of whole halls.Thus, the cage 120 being assigned to this indistributable car mask is limited the response of calling out for whole halls.

Such as, assuming that unit interval is 30 minutes, time period of object from 10 up to 10 time the situation of 30 points.In this situation, if the Power Saving Class illustrated in Power Saving Class Fig. 41 (Level1), the operating number due to this Power Saving Class 1 is 3.5, and frequency is 1, time of run management department 144 generates mask as described below, and is sent to mask management department 134.Namely, time of run management department 144 from 10 up to 10 time 15 points initial 15 minutes, generate assignable car mask (Fig. 8), it is the car mask of whole cages 120 as four, based on this situation, mask information is sent to mask management department 134 together with time information.On the other hand, time of run management department 144 from 10 time 15 points to 10 time 30 points latter 15 minutes, generate assignable car mask (Fig. 8), as the car mask of three cages 120, generate the car mask (Fig. 9) forbidding distributing, as the car mask of residue one.Further, mask information, based on each car mask generated, is sent to mask management department 134 by time of run management department 144 together with time information.If receive the mask management department 134 of mask information due to the other reasons except energy-conservation, such as there are the words of the car mask being just held in segmentation running, the AND computing of the car mask sent with time of run management department 144 carrying out each key element, upgrades car mask.If become Next unit interval, then time of run management department 144 similarly generates car mask according to Power Saving Class.When running car number of units is integer, during this unit interval, there is no need to change car mask as mentioned above.Further, distributing car selection section 132 is the cage 120 of " 1 (can distribute) " from the value of the car mask be updated, and distributes most suitable cage 120 with the evaluation function specified.

In addition, time of run management department 144 can be preset by supvr etc. and be set to indistributable cage 120 according to Power Saving Class, also suitably can select according to the situation of each cage 120, also can select arbitrarily.Time of run management department 144 such as can specify No. 1 machine as in an indistributable situation, specifies No. 2 machines, No. 3 machines such, specify in advance and be set to indistributable cage 120 in two indistributable situations.Time of run management department 144 according to the situation of each cage 120 select be set to indistributable cage 120 when, such as according to the quantity of the hall calling be assigned with in this moment or number etc. can be taken in this moment, this cage 120 selected.In this situation, much more relatively the quantity cage 120 that the hall be assigned with also can not be called out by time of run management department 144 or the cage 120 taking number relatively many are chosen to be indistributable cage 120.Again, time of run management department 144 can in unit interval suitably rotation this be set to indistributable cage 120.In this situation, time of run management department 144 such as can make every platform of whole four cages 120 be equivalent to 0.875 running, thus realizes the operating number being equivalent to total 3.5.Again, time of run management department 144 can when generating car mask, and from the candidate preset, selectional restriction to calling out the cage 120 responded, that is, is set to indistributable cage 120.Such as, in this situation, according to the requirement of supvr etc., make the short-list of indistributable cage 120 according to situation, time of run management department 144 can select to be set to indistributable car from this short-list in advance.Thus, group management control device 1 is such as when the mode corresponding with high-storey, low floor is corresponding carries out subregion to multiple cage 120, indistributable cage 120 is become, therefore, it is possible to suppress the decline of service performance owing to preplaning.Again, group management control device 1 can make the operation factor equalization of cage 120, thus avoids only specific cage 120 deterioration.

Get back to Fig. 7, actual achievement Department of Statistics 141, after the process of step S6, after the unit interval running of next time period, performs actual achievement statistics operation.Namely, actual achievement Department of Statistics 141 is to the actual achievement value relevant with fabric anomaly eleva-tor bank 2, add up in this average non-response time actual achievement value to each unit interval, user's number actual achievement value, running consumption of current actual achievement value, send and be recorded in time of run management department 144 (step S7).Further, time of run management department 144 is by the average non-response time expected value of this unit interval of reading in step S1, be sent to time of run adjustment part 143 (step S8) in the average non-response time actual achievement value of this each unit interval of step S7 record.

Further, time of run adjustment part 143, by based on this average non-response time expected value and this average non-response time actual achievement value, performs the process of step S9 to step S13, adjusts the Power Saving Class of this unit interval of second day.Namely, as time of run adjustment operation, time of run adjustment part 143, by the Power Saving Class of each unit interval of adjustment eleva-tor bank 2, makes the average non-response time actual achievement value of each unit interval converge on average non-response time expected value (step S9 is to step S13).

At this, whether time of run adjustment part 143 judges greatly (step S9) than the tolerance δ preset the value deducting average non-response time expected value from average non-response time actual achievement value.

Time of run adjustment part 143 when the value being judged to deduct average non-response time expected value from average non-response time actual achievement value at below tolerance δ (step S9: no), judge this value deducted whether little than tolerance-δ (step S10).

Time of run adjustment part 143 when the value being judged to deduct average non-response time expected value from average non-response time actual achievement value at more than tolerance-δ (step S10: no), be transferred to the process of step S5 and repeat later process.

Time of run adjustment part 143 when step S9 be judged to be from average non-response time actual achievement value deduct the value of average non-response time expected value larger than tolerance δ (step S9: yes), the Power Saving Class of this unit interval of second day is fallen one-level (step S11).Thereafter, the Power Saving Class of this unit interval sends and is recorded to time of run management department 144 (step S13) by time of run adjustment part 143, is transferred to the process of step S5 and repeats later process.

The Power Saving Class of this unit interval of second day, when the value judging to deduct on average non-response time expected value from average non-response time actual achievement value is less than tolerance-δ (step S10: yes), is improved one-level (step S12) by time of run adjustment part 143.Thereafter, the Power Saving Class of this unit interval sends and is recorded to time of run management department 144 (step S13) by time of run adjustment part 143, is transferred to the process of step S5 and repeats later process.

Figure 10 is the figure of the example that the record data managed by above-mentioned time of run management department 144 are shown.The illustration of Figure 10 is that unit interval is set to 30 minutes, and average non-response time expected value is set to 20 seconds without exception.But 8 is do not have energy-conservation setting (that is, Power Saving Class 0) up to 9 time.Average non-response time actual achievement value, user's number actual achievement value, running consumption of current actual achievement value all have recorded over the amount of two days, state when expression current time is 8.In this moment, when carrying out 7 30 points to 8 time these 30 points between statistics.Because the average non-response time actual achievement value on the same day was at 25.4 seconds, exceed expected value (20 seconds), then the Power Saving Class of second day is down to Power Saving Class 2 (Level2) from Power Saving Class 3 (Level3).Due to 8 time the period do not have energy-conservation, the car mask illustrated in Fig. 8 as escribed above is sent to mask management department 134 in this time period by time of run management department 144.Thus, 8 time the period record actual achievement value when not changing Power Saving Class.And due to 9 time be then set as Power Saving Class 2 (Level2), time of run management department 144 is set to the car mask illustrated in Fig. 9 by one, residue car is set to the car mask illustrated in Fig. 8, mask information is sent to mask management department 134 together with time information.Further, time of run adjustment part 143 to 9 time 30 points, according to 9 up to 9 time the actual achievement of 30 points, carry out 9 adjustment of Power Saving Class of 30 points up to 9 time of second day.Time of run control part 140 carries out these operation, carry out adjusting until elevator running in a day terminate 24 time terminate.The Power Saving Class that the previous day adjusts by next day starts as the Power Saving Class before execution.

Be more than the situation being set energy conservation object value by the first establishing method, that is, directly set the situation of average non-response time expected value.Next, to the situation being set energy conservation object value by the second establishing method, that is, the situation based on the average non-response time expected value of target running consumption of current reduction rate setting of a day is described.In addition, in the following description, the explanation repeated with the first establishing method is omitted as much as possible.

In this situation, goal setting section 142 such as calculates the average non-response time expected value of the target running consumption of current reduction rate that can complete set a day.Further, goal setting section 142, when having failed the calculated target running consumption of current reduction rate set by average non-response time expected value, again calculates average non-response time expected value, and carries out increase and decrease adjustment to this expected value.

Such as, goal setting section 142 reads the running consumption of current actual achievement value not having energy-conservation a day becoming the date of benchmark.What this became the date of benchmark does not have the running consumption of current actual achievement value of energy-conservation a day such as not have energy-conservation setting (that is, Power Saving Class 0) running one day or after certain period, to be undertaken adding up by actual achievement Department of Statistics 141.Further, goal setting section 142, according to the target running consumption of current reduction rate of a day that is set arbitrarily by supvr etc., sets the initial value of average non-response time expected value.

In this situation, goal setting section 142 can be set to the average non-response time actual achievement value of initial value=mono-day of such as average non-response time expected value × (the 1+ target of a day operate consumption of current reduction rate).The average non-response time actual achievement value of one day uses the average non-response time actual achievement value becoming the date of benchmark such as counted by actual achievement Department of Statistics 141.Such as, be 30 seconds in average non-response time actual achievement value, when the target running consumption of current reduction rate of a day is 10%, then initial value=30 × (1+0.1)=33 second of average non-response time expected value.Further, if determine the initial value of average non-response time expected value, then group management control device 1 performs energy-conservation in the same manner as the situation of the first above-mentioned establishing method.

And, goal setting section 142 calculates total running consumption of current actual achievement value of a day at the end of every day, judge that it is to change step (such as, the variation within the 10%) convergence tailed off in certain scope, calculate running consumption of current reduction rate actual achievement value.Goal setting section 142 compares the target running consumption of current reduction rate of the running consumption of current reduction rate actual achievement value calculated with one day that presets, if actual achievement value exceedes target, then average non-response time expected value is reduced specified amount, if actual achievement value is lower than target, then improve specified amount.At this, specified amount can be preset a certain amount of, also can be set to the amount that the difference of the consumption of current reduction rate that to operate to the target of operate consumption of current reduction rate actual achievement value and a day is corresponding.

Such as, X (t), Y, Y (t) are set to respectively the average non-response time expected value of t day, running consumption of current expected value, running consumption of current actual achievement value.And, total running consumption of current actual achievement value that goal setting section 142 is such as established one day restrained in t day, and the average non-response time expected value of t+1 day is set as X (t+1)=K × (Y-Y (t))+X (t), K=-X (0)/Y (0).X (0), Y (0) are values when not having energy-conservation state to carry out, and running consumption of current expected value is Y=Y (0) × (1+ α).At this, α is the target running consumption of current reduction rate of a day.Therefore, goal setting section 142 based on the target running consumption of current reduction rate α of a day not having running consumption of current actual achievement value Y (0) of energy-conservation a day and preset, can calculate running consumption of current expected value Y.And, goal setting section 142 allows to average non-response time expected value X (t+1) increase and decrease of allowing, converges on running consumption of current expected value Y to make running consumption of current actual achievement value Y (t) of each unit interval counted by actual achievement Department of Statistics 141.And, group management control device 1 can based on being increased and decreased the non-response time expected value of setting like this, continuing when not getting back to Power Saving Class 0 (Level0) to perform Power Saving Class, by repeating above operation, reaching target running consumption of current reduction rate.

Next, display control unit 150 shown in Fig. 1 performs and makes information displaying in the control of display part, and described information is the information be associated with the energy conservation object value of the eleva-tor bank 2 set by goal setting section 142 and the information be associated with the actual achievement value of the relevant eleva-tor bank 2 of being added up by actual achievement Department of Statistics 141.At this, display part can use the read out instrument of car guiding device 120b, hall guiding device 170 etc.Display control unit 150 controls car guiding device 120b by each car control setup 122, guides the information etc. that the information be associated with energy conservation object value is associated with actual achievement value and shows.Again, display control unit 150 controls hall guiding device 170, guides the information etc. that the information be associated with energy conservation object value is associated with actual achievement value and shows.Figure 11 is an example of the actual achievement value display that display control unit 150 shows.Again, display control unit 150 suitably can extract the information be associated with energy conservation object value, the information etc. be associated with actual achievement value from the record data illustrated in Figure 10, and is guided, shows to car guiding device 120b, hall guiding device 170.Thus, group management control device 1 can show energy conservation object value or actual achievement value etc., can to the word spreadings such as user, the achievement representing reality.

Above-mentioned group management control device 1 waits the target running consumption of current reduction rate of the average non-response time expected value of setting or a day by supvr, can set arbitrarily energy-conservation expected value.Further, group management control device 1, by suitably adjusting Power Saving Class, can make actual achievement value for the energy conservation object value convergence of setting arbitrarily, realize energy-conservation.Its result, group management control device 1, on the basis maintaining suitable service performance, can also realize energy-conservation.

Now, group management control device 1, owing to deciding Power Saving Class according to the operating number of desirable decimal and frequency, therefore, it is possible to set this Power Saving Class more meticulously, and can be finely tuned energy-conservation degree more meticulously.Its result, group management control device 1 is owing to can carry out finer dynamic change, therefore, it is possible to it is better energy-conservation to realize prospect to the distributing of such as each cage 120/indistributable time of run calendar etc.

Again, this group management control device 1, by units of one day, changes step by step to the Power Saving Class of each unit interval, therefore, it is possible to suppress the drastic change of service performance, and energy-conservation Performance optimization can be made at leisure, to avoid service performance with the appreciable degree variation of health.

Group management control device 1 described above comprises actual achievement Department of Statistics 141, goal setting section 142, time of run adjustment part 143, time of run management department 144.Actual achievement Department of Statistics 141 statistical average non-response time actual achievement value.Goal setting section 142 sets average non-response time expected value.Time of run adjustment part 143 adjusts Power Saving Class, converges on average non-response time expected value to make average non-response time actual achievement value.Time of run management department 144 generates car mask based on Power Saving Class.

Eleva-tor bank management control method described above comprises actual achievement statistics operation, goal-setting operation, time of run adjustment operation and time of run management operation.In actual achievement Department of Statistics operation, statistical average non-response time actual achievement value.In goal-setting operation, the average non-response time expected value of setting.Adjust operation in the running, adjustment Power Saving Class, converge on average non-response time expected value to make average non-response time actual achievement value.Manage operation in the running, based on described Power Saving Class, generate the car mask that the cage 120 that can respond calling is limited.

Therefore, group management control device 1, eleva-tor bank management control method, on the basis maintaining suitable service performance, can also realize energy-conservation, therefore, it is possible to make the balance optimizing of service performance and energy-efficient performance.

In addition, the elevator set management and control device involved by above-mentioned embodiment and eleva-tor bank management control method are not limited to above-mentioned embodiment, can carry out all changes in the scope described in claims.

In the above description, though determine that the scheme of Power Saving Class is illustrated to by operating number and frequency, be not limited thereto, also can be set as that Power Saving Class is larger, energy-conservation degree is higher, and running consumption of current actual achievement value diminishes relatively.Also such as lifting travel (floor that can stop) or rising or falling speed can be determined Power Saving Class as parameter.Again, though be illustrated with the scheme of the amount of 0.5 change according to Power Saving Class the operating number of the cage 120 of definition Power Saving Class described above at every turn, but be not limited thereto, also can change with the amount of integer platform (such as, 1) at every turn.On the contrary, can more meticulously to the operating number of the cage 120 that Power Saving Class defines, to change with the amount of 0.1 such as at every turn.Again, be described to the scheme of Power Saving Class 6 (Level6) these seven grades though Power Saving Class 0 (Level0) can be changed to Power Saving Class described above, be not limited thereto.Power Saving Class can change to multiple grade, can be to change to 2 to 6 grades, also can be to change to more than 8 grades.

In the above description, though to time of run adjustment part 143 in units of one day, the scheme changing the Power Saving Class of each unit interval is step by step illustrated, and is not limited thereto.Power Saving Class in units of specified time limit, such as, in units of a few days, in units of one week, in units of one month etc., can be changed in time of run adjustment part 143.

Again, though be illustrated with the scheme of each unit interval setting Power Saving Class of a day time of run adjustment part 143, be not limited thereto.Because the traffic demand of such as eleva-tor bank 2 is having a great difference with day off on ordinary days, therefore time of run adjustment part 143 can divide respectively and adjust for Power Saving Class on ordinary days and the Power Saving Class for holiday.Similarly, time of run adjustment part 143 such as in advance by the date that the pattern dividing the traffic demand of a day Monday to Sunday is different, and can divide and adjusts Power Saving Class respectively.

Again, though be illustrated the scheme that time of run adjustment part 143 changes Power Saving Class step by step, be not limited thereto, also can once change multiple rank.The Power Saving Class of each unit interval such as in units of one day, according to the average non-response time actual achievement value of each unit interval and the deviation of average non-response time expected value, can be changed in time of run adjustment part 143.In this situation, time of run adjustment part 143 is when the average non-response time actual achievement value of unit interval is larger than average non-response time expected value, according to the deviation of average non-response time actual achievement value with average non-response time expected value, reduce the Power Saving Class of the unit interval of this time period of second day.On the other hand, time of run adjustment part 143 is when the average non-response time actual achievement value of unit interval is less than average non-response time expected value, according to the deviation of average non-response time actual achievement value with average non-response time expected value, improve the Power Saving Class of the unit interval of this time period of second day.

In this situation, group management control device 1 such as waits by experiment to be grasped the relation of the rangeability of Power Saving Class (in this case operating number) and the variable quantity of average non-response time actual achievement value in advance.Further, group management control device 1 is dependent on this, presets the corresponding relation of average non-response time actual achievement value and the average non-deviation of response time expected value and the rangeability of Power Saving Class, and mappingization (or numerical expression modelling).And, time of run adjustment part 143 is based on this mapping, the rangeability of the Power Saving Class corresponding to the deviation of average non-response time actual achievement value and average non-response time expected value is calculated, according to this rangeability, Power Saving Class is carried out step by step or multistage change.

In this situation, this group management control device 1 can make energy-conservation Performance optimization more delicately.In addition, in this situation, time of run adjustment part 143 can arrange the higher limit (upper limit guard value) of the rangeability of Power Saving Class further.Thus, group management control device 1 can suppress the drastic change of service performance, on the basis of the degree variation avoiding service performance can feel with health, makes energy-conservation Performance optimization delicately.Again, also according to such as traffic demand, time period (the rush hours section, lonely time period), user's number actual achievement value etc., the mapping of different corresponding relation can be used to the mapping that the corresponding relation of the rangeability of above-mentioned deviation and Power Saving Class specifies.Thus, group management control device 1 according to traffic demand, time period, user's number actual achievement value etc., suitably can change Power Saving Class.Further, time of run adjustment part 143 also can according to the rangeability of the setting Power Saving Class such as such as traffic demand, time period, user's number actual achievement value.

Again, as shown in the variation of Figure 12, group management control device 1 also can have burst traffic demand test section 145.In this case, time of run control part 140 not only comprises above-mentioned actual achievement Department of Statistics 141, goal setting section 142, time of run adjustment part 143, time of run management department 144, also comprises this burst traffic demand test section 145.

Burst traffic demand test section 145, based on the average non-response time actual achievement value of each unit interval counted by actual achievement Department of Statistics 141 or the change of user's number actual achievement value, detects the carrying out of burst traffic demand.Burst traffic demand test section 145 reads the average non-response time actual achievement value of each unit interval counted by actual achievement Department of Statistics 141, user's number actual achievement value.And, at least one in the average non-response time actual achievement value or user's number actual achievement value of current unit interval of burst traffic demand test section 145 relative to have in the value of its previous unit interval significantly change, it can be used as detecting of the traffic demand that happens suddenly.Burst traffic demand test section 145 such as using the decision content that presets etc. as benchmark, detect the significantly change of average non-response time actual achievement value or user's number actual achievement value.Again, burst traffic demand test section 145 such as also can in the statistics by unit interval, average non-response time actual achievement value or user's number actual achievement value and past 3 times on average compared with increase by more than 2 times when or cage 120 when becoming fully loaded instantaneously, detect the generation of the traffic demand that happens suddenly.Such as, the fully loaded of cage 120 can detect in the situation etc. that load (Load Weight) exceeded 90% of car regulation carrying capacity of taking of the logout of Fig. 2.This testing result, once detect the generation of burst traffic demand, is sent to time of run adjustment part 143 by burst traffic demand test section 145.

Further, Power Saving Class, when detecting the generation of burst traffic demand by burst traffic demand test section 145, is set to the lowest class, at this, is set to and is equivalent to do not have energy-conservation Power Saving Class 0 (Level0) by time of run adjustment part 143.Further, Power Saving Class, when detecting the end of burst traffic demand by burst traffic demand test section 145, is returned to the grade of the previous day before the generation of this burst traffic demand by time of run adjustment part 143.The end of burst traffic demand detected when the condition that burst traffic demand test section 145 such as also can detect in the generation not meeting above-mentioned burst traffic demand, also can detect the end of burst traffic demand with the judgment standard different from it.It is stricter than there is determinating reference to terminate determinating reference, and time of run adjustment part 143 can, fully returning usually, make Power Saving Class get back to the grade of the previous day.Time of run adjustment part 143 also can, after the end of burst traffic demand, make Power Saving Class get back to originally after certain hour.Its result, Power Saving Class, when there is burst traffic demand, can be become the lowest class, guarantee sufficient service performance by group management control device 1, and at the end of burst traffic demand, can return to the energy-efficient performance before the generation of burst traffic demand.

In addition in this case, the Power Saving Class getting back to the unit interval of the Power Saving Class 0 (Level0) of the lowest class for the time being adjusted from the Power Saving Class 0 (Level0) of the lowest class again in next day again.Further, even next day is also when burst traffic demand occurs same time section again, because current Power Saving Class is the Power Saving Class 0 (Level0) of the lowest class, this group management control device 1 can guarantee suitable service performance.On the other hand, if again not there is burst traffic demand, then group management control device 1 slowly improves Power Saving Class, finally again adjusts to suitable Power Saving Class.

Again, in group management control device 1 described above, the initial value of Power Saving Class is not limited to Power Saving Class 0 (Level0).Such as, think the words of " as long as early morning, the running late into the night one just enough " in advance, group management control device 1 can by early morning (such as, 6:00-7:00), the initial value of the Power Saving Class in the late into the night (such as, 22:00-24:00) is set to Power Saving Class 6 (Level6).In this situation, group management control device 1 can guarantee sufficient energy-efficient performance in early days.Group management control device 1, by setting the initial value of the time period be set as by initial value beyond Power Saving Class 0 (Level0) and this time period, can realize above-mentioned situation.In addition, group management control device 1 pair of initial value does not carry out any setting, the initial value of the Power Saving Class of full time section is set to Power Saving Class 0 (Level0).Again, group management control device 1 when the target running consumption of current reduction rate based on a day gives energy conservation object value (namely, when above-mentioned second establishing method), owing to needing the running consumption of current on the date becoming benchmark, so the Power Saving Class of the full time section on the date met is set to Power Saving Class 0 (Level0).

Again, as shown in the variation of Figure 13, in group management control device 1 described above, eleva-tor bank 2 goes for the system being called as so-called DCS (destination control system) of hall destination floor pattern register.In this situation, Elevator pack management control system 100 has the hall destination floor registration device 180 can registering destination floor at hall 124.Elevator pack management control system 100 is by passing through this hall destination floor registration device 180 named place of destination floor by user at hall 124, and utilize hall guiding device 170 to inform distribution car to this user, user is guided to this distribution car.Elevator pack management control system 100 shown in Figure 13 illustrates mixing DCS, described mixing DCS at the floor specified (such as, become 1 layer of key horizon) hall 124 hall destination floor registration device 180 is set, at the hall 124 of other floors, above-mentioned hall input media 160 is set.Elevator pack management control system 100 can be the complete DCS arranging hall destination floor registration device 180 at the hall 124 of whole floor.

When group management control device 1 is applied to this DCS, being provided with the hall 124 of hall destination floor registration device 180, the wait time of each user can be measured.Therefore, the average non-response time actual achievement value of each unit interval is replaced into average latency actual achievement value or the average non-response time actual achievement value of the simulation corresponding to this average latency of each unit interval by group management control device 1.At this, the average non-response time actual achievement value of simulation is equivalent to the time after being considerably transformed to average non-response time the average latency.Furtherly, the average non-response time actual achievement value of simulation refers to and is dispensed to the wait time of the user of specific cage 120 first as non-response time using in the user occurred at certain floor.Such as, suppose that the cage 120 of No. 1 machine does not correspond to the situation of the calling of 1 floor.In this situation, user P1 is 1 layer of appearance, and when the cage 120 of No. 1 machine is assigned with, the wait time of this user P1 becomes simulates non-response time.After this distribution, even if user P2 is assigned to the cage 120 of No. 1 machine again, the wait time of user P2 neither simulate non-response time, and outside objects of statistics.The average non-response time actual achievement value of simulation is equivalent to the aviation value of the non-response time of this simulation.

Therefore, in this situation, actual achievement Department of Statistics 141 adds up the average non-response time actual achievement value as each unit interval to the average latency actual achievement value of each unit interval on the floor being provided with hall destination floor registration device 180 or the average non-response time actual achievement value of the simulation corresponding to this average latency.Actual achievement Department of Statistics 141 is not having the floor of hall destination floor registration device 180, the same with above-mentioned, uses non-response time, adds up average non-response time actual achievement value.Like this, even if group management control device 1 is when eleva-tor bank 2 is hall destination floor pattern registers, also can maintains suitable service performance, and can also realize energy-conservation, therefore, it is possible to make the balance optimizing of service performance and energy-efficient performance.

In addition, to the average non-response time expected value etc. of group management control device 1 described above based on the average non-response time actual achievement value at each certain hour interval, each certain hour interval, the generation of the adjustment and car mask of carrying out the Power Saving Class at each certain hour interval is described, but is not limited thereto.In this group management control device 1, time of run adjustment part 143 can adjust instantaneous Power Saving Class, to make the non-response time actual achievement value by merely being counted by actual achievement Department of Statistics 141 converge on the non-response time expected value set by goal setting section 142, instead of the aviation value at each certain hour interval is made to converge on the non-response time expected value set by goal setting section 142.Further, time of run management department 144 also based on this instantaneous Power Saving Class, can generate car mask.Similarly, eleva-tor bank management control method described above can comprise actual achievement statistics operation, set the goal-setting operation of non-response time expected value, described actual achievement statistics operation is not add up the aviation value etc. at each certain hour interval, but merely adds up non-response time actual achievement value.Further, eleva-tor bank management control method also can comprise adjustment Power Saving Class and converges on the time of run adjustment operation of non-response time expected value to make non-response time actual achievement value and generate the time of run management operation of car mask based on Power Saving Class.

According to the elevator set management and control device of above-mentioned at least one, it is a kind of elevator set management and control device managed the eleva-tor bank comprising multiple car, and it has actual achievement Department of Statistics, goal setting section, time of run adjustment part and time of run management department.Actual achievement Department of Statistics adds up non-response time actual achievement value, described non-response time actual achievement value be from registration hall call out described car respond this hall calling till the time i.e. actual achievement value of non-response time.Goal setting section sets the expected value of described non-response time i.e. non-response time expected value.Time of run adjustment part adjustment Power Saving Class converges on non-response time expected value described in described goal setting section sets to make non-response time actual achievement value described in described actual achievement Department of Statistics counts.Power Saving Class represents the energy-conservation degree of non-response time actual achievement value described in impact in described eleva-tor bank.Time of run management department, based on described Power Saving Class, generates the car mask limited the car that can respond calling.Also by adjusting the distribution of evaluation function, car mask can be replaced, realizes the restriction of cage.That is, add larger value by the evaluation function of the cage to restriction, realize the restriction of cage.Its result, this cage can not be assigned with.Thereby, it is possible to the balance between Optimized Service performance and energy-efficient performance.
