Description

Elevator device

The present invention relates to a kind ofly, be specifically related to the improvement that the elevator device that is suitable for using a small amount of elevator is done in order to optimize the elevator device of elevator motion.

In the system that optimizes elevator motion, topmost problem is minimizing and each user's of homogenizing a wait time.

In order to address this problem, various technology had been adopted so far already.

In the early stage the stage, once put into practice according to the position separately of a plurality of elevators and determined the uncontrolled zone of each elevator, so that elevator can dispose with the time gap that equates as far as possible.Along with the development in proper order of microcomputer, the hall (hall) calling allocation method was applied already, and this method is will assess various factors when producing hall call at every turn, so that distribute the elevator an of the best by each hall call.

These control methods are to carry out service method best to producing hall call brokenly.In addition, for the purpose of serving specific transportation, the time of being on duty can be adopted the through operation of by stages and be used an elevator of bearing the specific service of specific hall call, looks after specific transportation demand.

Japanese Patent JP-A-63-2447279 and JP-A-63-247280 disclose a kind of certain elevator of serving specific transportation demand.JP-A-63-247279 has described a kind of numbered equipment, in order to during specific high demand, only to accept cage calling within the predetermined time from certain layer, make when lunch for example or when next, when the time interval that needs high concentration in a certain floor, assign an elevator that drives towards certain floor, and with the demand of this elevator service in this certain layer, thereby reduce on-cycle time of specific coding equipment, need layer give Priority Service to height whereby.As described in JP-A-63-247280, in JP-A-63-246279, illustrating, a plurality of elevators are split up into two groups of elevators of serving all layers and serving certain layer, be used for being provided with specific indicating device and specific button on the elevator of certain layer, when the time arrives Preset Time, the elevator that is used for certain layer is only given indication to the certain layer operation, guarantee whereby that the passenger obtains service and not irresolute in selection.

Control method when hall call distribution method and partition method are applicable to the situation that irregularly produces hall call, they serve the layer of output hall call and the transportation request that destination layer has almost been determined unsatisfactorily.

People need favorable service, even if can also need favorable service under funds tackle the situation of high demand at need in the hall call distribution method, above-mentioned patent has solved this problem.But proved already and used above-mentioned prior art to concentrate at the passenger demand from each layer under the situation of ground floor, for example in the dinner hour, elevator crowding phenomenon occurs at the higher level place, and for the service of interlayer and lower level by severe exacerbation.Also proving, with above-mentioned prior art, is predetermined for time, specific objective layer and specific elevator, therefore can not handle the requirement to various objectives ground, thereby can not look after the demand that may change in all cases.

The objective of the invention is and to address the above problem, and a kind of such elevator device is provided, that is this system can consider transportation demand effectively under the situation that unexpected variation or unexpected position occur.

According to one aspect of the present invention, respond the state of a schedule time table, make the elevator of needs only allow to serve a plurality of certain layer.In one embodiment of the invention, when detecting the position that transportation request takes place in a building, be to change like this for sharing of demand, that is make the elevator of needs bear the demand of location, and that remaining elevator is born other or common demand.

According to above-mentioned conception, can distribute the elevator that is fit to traffic condition in these cases, and can improve service on the whole, according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, transportation is divided into specific high demand transportation and normal transport, and serve by means of the elevator that is divided into the elevator that is used for specific high demand transportation and is used for normal transport, prevent locating service whereby to transportation demand.

And in another embodiment of the present invention, the elevator that is used for other layer is avoided being used for too high demand layer, in these layers up and down elevator to spend the more time, therefore can reduce by an on-cycle time, thereby it seems from whole, reduced wait time.And then, if crowding phenomenon occurs, can avoid by the floor before and after the high demand layer at high demand layer, therefore, from first and last having improved service performance.

As previously mentioned, for irregular hall call being provided the service of optimization, recent hall call distribution method is to adopt the mode of overall estimation to distribute hall call.Therefore, this method is inapplicable for the high demand that occurs in certain layer.Carry out at 4 or more elevators under the situation of grouping management, when a certain elevator was used for certain layer, other elevator can be used for other layer, and therefore, this hall call distribution method can fully satisfy transportation demand.

But, two simulations of carrying out to maximum three elevators are shown with this distribution method by the inventor, concentrate in demand under the situation of ground floor for example, for example during lunch, if the people of ladder is many on higher layer, will crowd in the way, and can not serve lower layer, even squeeze in the way discontented, elevator people up and down for a long time the used time also than on descending stair people usefulness more after a little while, generation vicious circle as a result, make spin out elevator on-cycle time of operation, thereby increased wait time, simultaneously, wait the number of elevator to increase at every layer, make elevator bear heavy transportation once more again.

Even use four or more a plurality of elevator, when demand was enough high, it also was heavy needing the location, and the number of plies of service is many, and most of elevator service is in high demand layer.As a result, poorer to the service of other layer than the service of high demand layer, even and for the service of high demand layer, for example the state owing to a large amount of elevators has up and down increased cycle time, thereby has spun out wait time, and cause service to worsen.

Therefore, with a desirable elevator service in high demand layer.For example, if the demand from the tenth and the 9th floor to ground floor is very high in the building of one ten floor, without any counting during measure, elevator just has been crowded with at the 9th layer, thereby to the 8th and the service variation of lower level.If, this demand is detected, make a desirable elevator in several elevators can carry out the operation of shuttling back and forth from the tenth and the 9th layer to ground floor, thereby reduced the tenth, the 9th and the wait time of ground floor, and other elevator can be used for other common layer, prevent that whereby other layer is left in the basket owing to being crowded with, and prevent the increase of elevator time up and down during being crowded with.

Like this, elevator on-cycle time of operation has been reduced, and can reduce in the demand of certain layer and the wait time of primary demand, thereby has improved service performance.

Present accompanying drawings one embodiment of the present of invention.Fig. 1 is an overall construction drawing of the present invention.Information from hall call button 101 to 10n is gathered by the collecting unit 31 that is arranged in the packet management controller 3, and by 2 transmission of hall call transporting part, in conjunction with cage information, be transferred to assignment control 33 and transportation decision unit 34 from cage information acquisition unit 32.The information of calling out button 41 to 44 from cage transmits passage 51 to 54 by the cage calling and is transported to the device control unit 61 to 64 of being numbered, and is fed to cage information acquisition unit 32 and assignment control 33 with the information of cage location information and each equipment of being numbered.Assignment control 33 determines that according to above-mentioned information an elevator that is assigned with is used for a hall call, and sends a distributed intelligence by transmission line 7 to numbered device control unit 61 to 64.Numbered device control unit 61 to 64 drives 111 to 114 motions of transportation elevator cage according to distributed intelligence control motor 81 to 84 so that electrical motor 81 to 84 causes trailer coupling 91 to 94, thereby serves hall call and cage calling.121 to 124 represent counter weight device.According to information from hall call collecting unit 31 and cage information acquisition unit 32, the transportation that transportation decision unit 34 determines for every layer.By means of to the guess value in advance of the transport capacity of a bed of interest, whether occur crowding, wait time, boading time, passenger up and down rate, have or not and long wait take place and have or not long-term ascending stair to limit every layer transportation volume.When a high demand take place or the service of difference for example long wait when different layers is detected, transportation decision unit 34 send one on schedule (Schedule) operating instruction to assignment control 33.Assignment control 33 is selected suitable operation on schedule according to the traffic condition of decision, and on descending stair indicating device 131 to 13n, provide the indication of preparing to carry out on schedule (Schedule) management and running, after cage becomes empty or arrives top layer, move on schedule.In service at time schedule, select one or more equipment of being numbered, and schedule it to the layer that high demand takes place, at that time, on descending stair indicating device 131 to 13n, indicate according to the main bed of interest that transportation is set.When the layer of high demand arrive to take place elevator, be assigned to the cage of the bed of interest set is called out by record automatically, and when passenger's ascending stair after, elevator is gone on along to the bed of interest of setting.

Fig. 2 is a diagram of circuit of the present invention, as a representative type situation, distribute the flow process of control as follows: according to collected hall call and terraced cage call information, transportation decision unit 34 at first calculates every layer transportation volume (201), determines transportation volume (202) then.Subsequent, determine whether to take place high demand or serve to worsen to be detected (203).If high demand or service worsen take place, the 34 pairs of assignment control 33 in transportation decision unit are sent operating instruction (204) on schedule.If do not take place, program is returned normal operation control (212).Receiving on schedule, assignment control 33 bases of operating instruction determine the transportation volume of unit 34 decisions to select a suitable operation on schedule (205) by transportation.Then, select a predetermined elevator also to make it break away from a target (206) under normal allocation control, and be in the position of elevator under the operation on schedule stopping indicating elevator on the step section indicating device 131 to 13n.Under the sort of situation, be located at the indication that a indicating device in the step section indicating device 131 to 13n provides " this elevator directly runs to main purpose layer by the transportation volume decision from this one deck " that stops on the layer that high demand takes place.After becoming empty or the layer of reaching home, this elevator is headed direct for high demand layer (207).After arriving high demand layer, the cage from this layer to predetermined main bed of interest is called out and is recorded (208), and this elevator heads direct for bed of interest (209) afterwards, checks whether high demand removes (210), if do not have, program was returned for 207 steps and repeated above-mentioned steps; If remove, stopping providing the indication (211) that recovers normal operation on the step section indicating device, program is returned normal operation (212).

Fig. 3 A-3I is used for explaining the present invention.Fig. 3 A shows when a six-storey building is equipped with two elevators in the motion of run duration elevator on schedule.Fig. 3 B shows that downward transportation load is big, upwards transportation load is little, especially in layer 6 and the big situation of the downward transportation load of layer 5.In this case, just filled the passenger at layer 5 and the downward elevator of layer 6, to the 4th layer or the more downward calling of low layer can not serve.Particularly, in this transportation, the 5th, six layer calling is preferential, stops elevator to return on the way, causes the service severe exacerbation to interlayer.In the worst case, as long as the demand under the 5th, six courses does not finish, the 4th or more low layer just can not obtain serving.Moreover any elevator will all stop at each layer, makes elevator move an on-cycle time increase up and down, thereby has prolonged wait time and boading time.In addition, under one group of several people's situation, if it is few to allow to go up terraced number, just nobody is ready to go up elevator sometimes, even elevator does not squeeze.In this case, elevator leave after immediately by the hall call button in next elevator.Because the calling of this waste takes place, stop ladder passenger up and down not again, move an on-cycle time and spun out, further worsened wait time and last terraced time again.When this situation often took place, the 4th layer of people who goes downstairs had to make elevator arrive top and do not descend elevator to continue downward operation again by button upstairs.This has just aggravated crowded, and because useless at all calling is issued and has increased wait time.Aforesaid transportation mode typical case is after the transportation of lunchtime in the building, from office's place layer promptly five, six layers of people who has a dinner to reference layer or ground floor be main users.In view of the above, the transportation that Fig. 3 B represents can be divided into one from the 5th, six layer to ground floor transportation and the transportation of other layer, shown in Fig. 3 C, 3D.Such elevator is specified serves for the 5th, six layer of use, and another elevator uses for other layer.In this example, the device A of being numbered is one and is indicated as being the elevator of going up ground floor from the 5th, six layer.By the equipment B of being numbered is one to be used for the elevator of other layer, in such a way, five, the people on six layers can be multiplied by the elevator of through one deck and not stop at other layer, thereby reduced boading time, and it does not respond the hall Room of other layer and calls out, thereby this has just reduced by a used time of circulation and has reduced wait time.When the transportation relevant with other layer combines consideration, can not occur in the 5th, six layer the crowded inconvenience that causes transportation to worsen and cause.In addition, operation has many passengers up and down to consume a lot of time under the 5th, six courses, and above-mentioned service can reduce this phenomenon consuming time, and an on-cycle time can reduce, wait time also can reduce.

Thereby five, six layers crowded so worsen so that layer 6 just fully on full influence during to the service of layer 5, transportation can be divided into from layer 6 downwards with from the downward transportation of layer 5, shown in Fig. 3 G and Fig. 3 H, whereby, shown in Fig. 3 E, coding equipment A responds from the downward calling of layer 6, through then ground floor, ceaselessly drive towards layer 5 afterwards, for layer 5 is served downwards.

Fig. 4 is an embodiment with individual equipment.The device control unit 61 interior transportation determination devices 34 that are arranged on numbering receive the information of calling out button 41 and being included in the load transducer in the cage from hall call button 101 to 10n, cage by hall call collecting unit 31 and cage railway carriage information acquisition unit 32, determine transportation volume in view of the above, and when detecting a high demand layer or a low service layer, just send on schedule operating instruction to an operation control unit 611, it is controlled motor control unit 612 successively and makes its operation scheme operation on schedule.

Fig. 5 A-5E is used for explaining the example that single equipment moves on schedule.Transportation volume shown in Fig. 5 A is divided into other demand shown in shown in Fig. 5 B passenger demand from the 6th buildings to Stall and Fig. 5 D.Under the unit situation of an equipment, determine the first round operation that shuttles back and forth, one-period shown in Fig. 5 C is served the high demand layer shown in Fig. 5 B, then determine one second shown in Fig. 5 E and take turns the operation that shuttles back and forth, serve other layer, and take turns the operation that shuttles back and forth and hocket with constant rate of speed the first round and second.

Fig. 6 is a diagram of circuit that single equipment moves on schedule.When a high demand layer or a low service layer are detected (601), checking needs the layer (602) of operation on schedule, provides the indication (603) that moves on schedule on each layer.Because under the situation of single equipment, a specific indicating device seldom is provided, in many application, provide a through indication.Then, between the first phase, the layer (604) that indication is served by the time schedule operation, elevator is through to the high end point layer (605) that needs, and through therefrom then main purpose layer (208) is so as to finishing high demand transportation.During the next one, serve the common layer except that high demand layer.At that time, provide the indication (607) that is used for common layer.And then, after elevator has responded whole callings from other layer except that high demand layer, respond one again from not being the calling (608) of high demand layer and when reaching home layer, check whether high conditions of demand are solved (210).If high need state is not removed, then repeating step (604) and step thereafter, if be disengaged, program is just returned normal operation (212).

Fig. 7 is that high demand is measured diagram of circuit.At first, at normal operation period, in every layer wait time, boading time, boarding rate, hall call number, descending stair ridership, the crowded circulation of calling that takes place and waste measured (202-1) at elevator, check then whether calling of missing, wasting or long wait whether crowded, hall call (202-2) takes place, as these situations do not take place, then proceed normal operation.When these situations did not take place, program was returned normal operation, but when taking place, then missed hall call according to crowded, the calling of waste, and the time of origin and the floor of phenomenon such as long wait check that whether this phenomenon is because due to the high demand (202-3).If not, then continue normal operation, if, then by assignment control 33 send one on schedule operating instruction give operation control unit 611, thereby carry out operation operation (202-4) on schedule.

When normal transport, passenger's layer of elevator up and down in most of the cases can not be scheduled to, when not excessive passenger moves between the layer of holding recreation and another layer, when the passenger during at lunch when a certain layer is assembled, when perhaps coming off duty, or the transportation from a certain layer to another layer orientation is when taking place, for example be on duty the time, then high demand can be occurred,, main transportation volume can be learnt by means of the record ridership of going up upper and lower elevator of next cycle period of this moment.

In (203-3) step of Fig. 7, check whether long wait is owing to the high demand that is suitable for the service of operation scheme on schedule of the present invention causes, wherein use a kind of method of tabling look-up, for example according to the table that time zone, genetic horizon and the preparation of generation incident take place, shown in Figure 17 A and 17B.And determine by checking this table whether operation is effective on schedule.In order to simplify this table, can tabulate according to crowded, the long wait of elevator and the time zone of generation thereof and the number of plies of generation.This table can preestablish, or formulates by learning after operation.

Fig. 8 is an operating method decision diagram of circuit.At first, the ridership up and down of floor that takes place according to for example long wait that measures during measuring in high demand and time and every layer need to determine to use the floor of operation on schedule and by from the specified order stratum (205-1) of the elevator of this layer.For example, determine to use the layer of operation on schedule in the following manner.It is crowded to suppose now that in the lunch time zone the 6th layer in one 7 floor room takes place, owing to be crowded with, and the bypass that is left in the basket of layer 5 and lower layer.According to the present invention, the 6th layer and the 7th layer is called as high demand layer, and the 5th layer and lower level are called low service layer.Utilize learning functionality, make decision according to old learning outcome, and do not use learning functionality, by checking that preprepared table makes decision.Learning functionality does not herein require accurately, but it should satisfy cage is for example called out in following requirement immediately after high demand layer hall call service is recorded according to the time zone layer.Then determine to carry out the elevator quantity (205-2) of operation on schedule according to learning outcome or table.Setting up under the situation of being equipped with, is not to determine elevator quantity, but determines the ratio to the service of finishing with the service that common layer is finished of high demand layer.This ratio can be stipulated by the time, or just carry out twice common layer of service operations (two up and down) after whenever finishing once the service operations of high demand layer.By means of checking previously prepared table or determining the operating mode (205-3) of each elevator according to the table of analog result preparation.

Fig. 9 A-9H is used for illustrating the example of operation on schedule.Fig. 9 A to 9D represents traffic type, and Fig. 9 E and 9F are the examples that moves on schedule in each traffic type.Fig. 9 A is depicted as the passenger to be assembled from high demand course reference layer, for example at the preceding half of lunchtime or when next, or when the recreation that top layer is held finishes.Fig. 9 B is depicted as the situation of two high demand layers.Fig. 9 C is depicted as the situation that is distributed to other layer from the passenger of one deck, when for example being on duty.During being on duty, compare with the through mode of the subregion of routine, the invention has the advantages that high demand does not require unlimitedly and takes place at reference layer or in a pre-fixed time interval, and when demand took place, operation can be performed under the condition of considering overall operation efficiency on schedule.Especially, appear at the trouble of work hours, bottom take place crowded and upwards operation can avoid the trouble of the deterioration of interlayer service.Fig. 9 D is depicted as the situation of passenger from a certain layer to another certain layer, when for example meeting adjourned or when the passenger moves towards another amusement hall after last amusement finishes.The example that moves on schedule shown in Fig. 9 E, the transportation volume request is shown in Fig. 9 A.As can be seen, main transportation volume is the transportation demand from the layer 6 to the ground floor, and the equipment that therefore is numbered A is carried out the operation of shuttling back and forth that do not stop to serve this request between layer 6 and ground floor, and the equipment of numbering B is used for other demand.Main demand shown in Fig. 9 F comprises the double-ply situation, shown in Fig. 9 B.In this example, main transportation demand is by the 5th and six layer of transportation demand to first floor, in this case, main transportation demand is also with the service that is provided with of numbering A, other transportation demand is with numbering B equipment, in this example, the equipment of numbering A successively the 6th and layer 5 stop, ceaselessly arrive ground floor then; But further increase in demand and to make layer 5 is reached ground floor; But when demand further increased the service that makes to layer 5 and worsens, the equipment of numbering A stopped at layer 6, checks and is crowded with at layer 6, just directly drives towards ground floor, directly ceaselessly drove towards layer 5 again after waiting the passenger to get off, and was the layer 5 service.Remove outside the situation that layer 6 is crowded with, expect after a little while than original,, also carry out this operation according to the supposition of determining to take place high demand when the number of ladder on layer 5.Under opposite extreme situations, even after responding a hall call arrival, the last ladder of no one.It is an example that the transportation demand shown in Fig. 9 C is serviced that Fig. 9 G is depicted as a main transportation demand, wherein the transportation volume of passenger's transportation demand of when reference layer is on duty, being distributed to other layer and each layer appointment some mix.In this transportation demand, when the transportation demand that is each layer appointment surpassed a constant, upper and lower elevator all stopped at every layer, had therefore increased an on-cycle time, generation long wait as a result.In addition, the passenger of interlayer is multiplied by an elevator of being crowded with and has spun out the time up and down, near service severe exacerbation when not having cage to call out of the floor reference layer.In this case, the equipment of numbering A is used to the passenger and is distributed to the demand of other each layer from reference layer, and the equipment of numbering B can respond the calling from other layer.In this way, can improve service on the whole.In this case, service to reference layer presents deterioration, but this operating method is an actv. to this transportation demand, and on-cycle time of equipment of serving the numbering A of reference layer can shorten half, guarantees the same service that is realized by two device A and B whereby.Fig. 9 H is depicted as one from transportation demand superposition the situation on common transportation demand Fig. 9 D shown in of a certain layer to another certain layer.From a certain layer to another certain layer and transportation demand, it is made of different traffic type basically, device service by numbering A, and general transportation demand uses the equipment of numbering B, can avoid waste whereby up and down and elevator concentrated, be the people on the certain layer, be ready to the cage of taking advantage of of stepping on of son special use, the motion of on this layer, pacing up and down can be avoided, short going up the ladder time can be spent, and for the passenger on other layer, not only going up ladder is improved the time, and make crowded being avoided that causes owing to from the people on the certain layer, and therefore it seems on the whole, improved service.

Figure 10 A-10D is depicted as the example of single equipment operating method.For looking after the transportation volume shown in Fig. 9 A, provide the through service from the layer 6 to the ground floor during first period, provide the service of other layer during second period, above-mentioned service is alternately repeated, shown in Figure 10 A, so can obtain to be similar to the effect of situation shown in Fig. 9 E.Consider the situation shown in Fig. 9 B, shown in Figure 10 B, give make a period be used for layer 5 and layer 6 during and a period be used for other layer, and alternately repeat above-mentioned service operations.Consider abominable crowding, three service periods are provided, shown in Figure 10 C, first period is used for layer 6, and second period is used for the 5th layer, intersegmental other layer that is used in the time of the 3rd.Consider the situation shown in Fig. 9 D, shown in Figure 10 D, provide a period to be used for certain layer and period is used for other layer, the result reduces boading time and boarding rate.

Figure 11 is an embodiment who implements the study situation.Unit 35 is learnt from the information of hall call collecting unit 31 and cage information acquisition unit 32 and is prepared a learning table 36.Learning table 36 has write down the hall call number, boading time of wait time, the generation of each elevator on each floor, the hall call that takes place, boarding rate, patronage, the number of plies being crowded with, missing up and down in elevator arrives time gap between one deck and following one deck, and the calls of waste, by unit time and each floor data are classified, and write down the data that are classified according to the time zone.According to present embodiment, specify the precision of the main bed of interest that an incident takes place to improve in certain time zone because be predefined in, the precision of operation on schedule of waste can be enhanced, to guarantee the actv. operation.

Figure 12 A and 12B are the examples of learning table 36.Shown in Figure 12 A, with the hall call number of times of the wait time on every layer, generation, boading time, the hall call that in elevator arrives time gap between two-layer, takes place, boarding rate, patronage up and down, the number of plies of be crowded with, bypass being missed,, the calls of waste and go up to the main bed of interest of elevator appointment by each several layers is noted according to the time zone.The time zone can take place by using shown in Figure 12 B in record, and genetic horizon and elevator are simplified from every layer of appointed main bed of interest.In this case, high demand layer and can be by means of the changing of design of record from the specified main bed of interest of the elevator of high demand layer, but for realizing that the basic exercise of operation remains unchanged on schedule.

Figure 13 is one according to an embodiment under the record result situation about simulating.Analogue unit 37 is by means of changing each time zone, condition in each time zone, carry out operational outfit on schedule by traffic type, the number of plies and operating method according to the content of learning table 36, by the content of representative as a result of unit 35 study, try to achieve the operation on schedule that is suitable for different condition.On schedule operation be deposited at one with each study table corresponding table on schedule 38 in, when carrying out condition that operation on schedule takes place and betransported decision unit 38 and detect, one to the suitable degree of the transportation that is determined, condition of service, time and the number of plies from trying to achieve the table 38 on schedule, so that move on schedule.According to embodiments of the invention, be applicable to that the operation on schedule of the different condition of different buildings can prepare by the simulation of carrying out in advance, thereby can guarantee the actv. operation.

Figure 14 is an embodiment who is predetermined the time schedule situation.The time schedule of Ti Chuing is to move in order to carry out on schedule so far, wherein detects the generation of certain state, and removes this state, but in this way, can generation lag behind in response.For the transportation volume that takes place always at a specified time, can move the hysteresis of eliminating in the control on schedule by means of when arriving the schedule time, setting in advance.In this case, the time that the pulsation-free transportation volume takes place is detected by unit, is determined with corresponding the operation on schedule of predetermined transportation volume in advance, and automatically realizes operation on schedule at that time.Unit 35 is by means of using time meter 39, the time zone that each transportation volume is taken place is recorded on the learning table 36, and assignment control 33 is searched table 38 on schedule according to the data and the time meter 39 of learning table 36, moves on schedule so that realize the ground, time zone that is suitable for being considered.According to embodiments of the invention, operation can begin to carry out before the incident of being considered takes place on schedule, to guarantee quick response.

Figure 15 is one and determines the embodiment that dispatches according to analog result in advance.Analogue unit 37 carries out the simulation of operation on schedule of all kinds condition, by means of data based on the learning table 36 of the learning outcome of unit 35, determine to be suitable for each time zone, the operating method of each transportation demand and each incident, and the operating method of determining write on schedule the table 38.According to the output of time meter 39 and learning table 36 and the situation of the hall and terraced cage, assignment control 33 selects to be suitable for the time zone considered and the operation type on schedule of condition from table 38 on schedule, and carries out selected operation on schedule.According to present embodiment, because can confirm correctness in advance, can realize more stable operation control, and can the operation of predicted time table how to change passenger flow volume by simulation.After putting into practice the time schedule operation, when the passenger flow volume of finding actual passenger flow volume and expectation has very big difference, the actual shipment amount is confirmed as being different from the transportation volume that the time schedule operation of present execution is set, and operation is returned normal moving row, thereby avoids inappropriate motion.

Figure 16 is the diagram of circuit of a time schedule of carrying out at a time situation about being determined in advance.At first, whether assignment control 33 arrives the schedule time (161) 39 detection times by time meter.Then, send throughput rate to be determined (202),, check whether transportation volume is the transportation volume of being estimated (162) in that time zone by means of the data of checking in the learning table 36.If actual transportation volume is different with expectation, program is then returned normal operation, if but actual shipment amount and expectation consistent, then (204) in the execution graph 2 reach step subsequently.When actual shipment amount and expectation transportation volume do not return execution normally simultaneously, particularly under situation about simulating as shown in figure 15, this method is especially effective, but, if can then not simulate yet and can realize only by judging whether have a calling to determine transportation volume at certain layer.

Figure 17 A and 17B are the examples of time schedule.Figure 17 A represents an example, and therein according to the time zone, the generation of floor and high demand phenomenon is revised order stratum, mode and device number, and Figure 17 B represents another example, revises according to the situation of time zone and appearance therein.

Figure 18 represents an example of setting service rate.Though previous embodiment mainly prevents the service deterioration during high demand, thereby makes each layer all serviced as far as possible equably, for each layer, service rate can change, so that make certain layer also can not caused significant deterioration by Priority Service to other layer.Service rate setup unit 12 is set service rate, and analogue unit 37 is tried to achieve the control method that can realize this service rate by simulation, and this method is write in the table 38 of time schedule.Assignment control 33 selects to realize the mode of the time schedule of set service rate by each transportation volume and time zone from the table 38 of time schedule, and distribution is controlled.

The bed of interest that Figure 19 is illustrated in passenger's appointment is the embodiment under the known condition.Use is located at the purpose button 141 in descending stair place to 14n, if a plurality of main high demand bed of interest are arranged, just for different bed of interest provides different translations, thereby can further improve efficient.

Figure 20 A-20I is the example of through indication, Figure 20 A-20E is the example that indication is provided for indicating device on the descending stair place of the elevator of the operation of carrying out time schedule and floor, and Figure 20 F and 20G are the examples that indication is provided for other elevator except that the elevator of carrying out management and running in the descending stair place.Figure 20 A represents only to provide the example of through indication.Figure 20 B is the example that provides the layer of through service indication with " from the through ground floor of layer 6 ".Figure 20 C enters when operation, provides the example of indication during management and running.Figure 20 D is when the operation of operation entry time table, the example that the destination is instructed to.Figure 20 E is the example that service layer and bed of interest are indicated diagonally.The floor that the elevator of through those implementation schedule operations of this elevator is not served is represented in the indication that provides among Figure 20 F.Figure 20 G indicates to carry out through operation, and the example of service is provided by other elevator.

Figure 20 H is an example, wherein demonstrates the elevator of implementation schedule operation on the indicating device by another elevator on the layer of operation service on schedule.

Figure 20 I is the example that the passenger that will accept management and running is directed into the elevator of implementation time schedule operation.

Figure 21 A-21H is illustrated in the example that provides through indication on the indicating device.Figure 21 A represents an elevator on the 3rd layer, and indicating device indication operation will change management and running on three layers, and an example being lighted of the lamp on the 3rd layer.Figure 21 B and 21C are the examples that goes directly between layer 6 and ground floor and move.Through indicating device is lighted, and service layer is the interior light of lamp of ground floor and layer 6.Figure 21 C is the example that arrives layer 6.Figure 21 D is an example of carrying out management and running at ground floor and the 6th, seven interlayers.To be management and running carry out between ground floor and the 6th, seven layer for Figure 21 E and 21F, have be respectively the layer 7 service during and for layer 6 serve during, the example shown in Figure 10 C.At first, the layer 7 of at first being served and the lamp of ground floor are bright and be instructed to, and when service finished for the first time, secondly lamp of the 6th layer of service was bright, replaces the lamp of layer 7, the multiple always time schedule end of run that arrives again.Figure 21 G, 21H have the example of indicating through and normal two indicator lamps.When single elevator shown in Figure 4 is in time schedule when operation, this elevator carry out through operation during and carry out normal operation during alternately take place.In this case, realize through operation during in provide through indication so that provide above-mentioned indication, in normal operation period, then provide normal indication, thereby show and just carrying out which kind of operation now.

Figure 22 A-22E represents to demonstrate the example of running chart.Figure 22 A is the example that indication is close to the time of reaching and bed of interest.Figure 22 B provides the example of not serviced layer when being crowded with shown in Figure 10 C taken place, thereby a service clear area takes place.Figure 22 C indicates to send earlier and second example that sends when several elevators are in management and running.Figure 22 D is the example that service order diagrammatizes.Figure 22 F is the example that gives other the elevator indication relevant with the layer of management and running service, so that the passenger is directed to the elevator of operation dispatching operation.

Figure 23 is the diagram of circuit under the diagram indication situation.By proceeding to step (208) with the similar mode of Fig. 2, be the main purpose layer and prepare the cage calling, the time (231) of upward indicating up to figure is waited in the arrival back, (209) and step are subsequently carried out in the mode that is similar to Fig. 2.According to present embodiment, because the wait process is performed until the time of indicating on the figure, wait time has been increased, but elevator can be in advance not leave in the figure time of lasting, arrives the time before thereby allow the passenger to effectively utilize.

Figure 24 A-24F represents the example of the management and running of a simplification.In every flow process of these figure, step a1 to f1 represents to detect the step that incident occurs, thereby begins each flow process.Figure 24 A is a diagram of circuit that detects implementation time schedule operation when being crowded with when setting out.At first, detect and never be crowded with the variation (a1) of being crowded with gradually.Then, detect main bed of interest (a2).And then whether decision has the calling of a layer of being crowded with by immediate record (a3) after setting out, if there is not metered call, then normally move, and still, is recorded if call out, and then is being crowded with operations (4) of going directly between layer and the main purpose layer.After this, whether decision disappears (a5) in the demand of the layer of being crowded with, and degree repeats till demand disappears (a5).In the present embodiment, the layer of being crowded with is considered to high demand layer, so that its preferential improvement is served.Figure 24 B is that a service that bypass is missed owing to be crowded with worsens detected example, wherein inserts management and running.A main purpose layer is checked in being crowded with when setting out detected (b2) simultaneously.Then, whether if service elevator set out after at the layer be crowded with immediately have a calling send (b3), do not have, then normally move, if having, then be crowded with operations (b4) of going directly between layer and the main purpose layer if checking; And then check being crowded with layers whether have a predetermined calling to send, if having, then repeat (b4) with and subsequent step, if do not have, program is then returned normal operation.Figure 24 C is an example that carries out management and running according to last descending stair number and time zone.At first, whether the testing time arrives set time zone (C1).Then, check at dispatch layer whether ladder (C2) on many passengers is arranged.If no, do not send the scheduling transportation demand and normally move with regard to determining.If there are many passengers to go up ladder, then check main bed of interest (C3), and the operation (C4) of between certain layer and main bed of interest, going directly.Then, check whether the demand in certain layer disappears (C5),, then repeat (C4) and reach step thereafter that if do not disappear, then program is returned normal operation if disappear.Stop the example that sensor that the place is used for checking the waiting Passengen number is carried out management and running when many waiting Passengens are arranged for being located at shown in Figure 24 D.At first, the waiting Passengen sensor is checked high demand (d1).Then, determine main bed of interest (d2), and whether check after the front and back layer of layer that crowded or high demand take place, to have a calling to be recorded (d3) immediately, if do not have, then normally move, if but the operation (d4) of then going directly is arranged between layer that high demand takes place and main bed of interest.Check then to disappear (d5) that if do not disappear, then repeat (d4) and subsequent step, if disappear, program is returned normal operation.According to present embodiment, high demand can accurately be detected by means of the waiting Passengen sensor.Figure 24 E represents such example, and promptly when the elevator of a hall call of response arrived, but the no one went up elevator, and occurs operation dispatching operation under the situation of another hall call after this immediately.At first, when an elevator of not filling of response hall call arrives, detect not passenger (e1) up and down.Then, check,, then normally move that if having, that one deck (e3) then goes directly after finishing service not layer if do not have after the layer that hall call takes place, whether having a hall call to be recorded (e2) immediately.Then, the hall call that described layer is taken place serve (e4) and check a tool after elevator sets out constant during in whether have one to call out (e5) takes place at described layer.If have, (e3) and thereafter step is repeated to carry out, if do not have, program is returned normal operation.According to present embodiment, can improve the service of cage arrived the layer of a full-load run.Figure 24 F is an example that the layer that abominable service occurs is gone directly and serves.At first, detect owing to being crowded with one decks that misses service (f1) has taken place, then, check that the layer that the deterioration service whether occurs has sent calling (f3).If no, then normally move, if having, then after finishing to the service of layer not to the operation (f3) of going directly of layer that service worsens occurring.Described layer is served (f4), check then after elevator sets out one constant during in whether sent a kind of calling (service direction is determined according to the condition of described layer) (f5) at described layer.If have, (f3) and subsequent step be repeated to carry out, if do not have, program is returned normal operation.

Figure 25 A-25D represents that a waiting Passengen can participate in the embodiment of operation.In an office building, when when one the high demand of layer generation of meeting room being arranged, bed of interest in this case can not be scheduled to, but be determined continually.In the sort of situation, even bed of interest depends on the time zone, it neither be fixed, by means of being contained in the purpose button 141 to 14n on the indicating device of terraced entrance hall or need not determining the purpose direction of express lift by means of moving after cage call out to take place, the service that can provide shown in Figure 25 A is provided.Usually, can only arrive described floor, but in the present invention, the express lift cage was called out the layer that takes place after elevator arrived the layer that hall call takes place.Figure 25 B is one and wishes that when the layer without undergoing time schedule operation went, the passenger can select the embodiment of described layer as the passenger.Replace to use these buttons, can operate a hall call buttons with the elevator apart from each other of implementation schedule operation, thereby select a terraced cage that normally moves.Rather than the cage of time schedule operation.When set elevator number is 1 or 2, on every layer, only provide a pair of hall call button.Under the sort of situation, after finishing the management and running reservation,, normal operation cage is recorded once more by the hall call button or continuously by twice.Figure 25 C, 25D are that the bed of interest of through operation uses an indicating device and the example that descending stair place button is recorded.For example, by means of one constant during in by calling out the through operation of button record up and down, after through being instructed to of record, with calling out button setting bed of interest up and down.The bed of interest of setting rises the number of plies with the flash of light indication by the button that makes progress, and by downward button the number of plies is descended.Then, one constant during the celestial layer that is checked through setting when remaining unchanged, described layer is set to bed of interest.

According to the present invention, an elevator device is provided, the freight volume demand can not be scheduled in it can consider often to change effectively or position.
