Description

High-rise elevator system

Technical Field

The application relates to the technical field of elevators, in particular to a high-rise elevator system.

Background

Due to limited resources, skyscrapers are becoming more and more tall. Although a lot of space is saved, a lot of difficulties are added to the vertical travel. Many commercial buildings have long dragon rows during the rush hour, especially for super high-rise buildings (buildings with more than 40 floors or more than 100 meters), the long dragon rows can be 20-30 minutes to get on the elevator. How to change the problem of the overlong waiting ladder, especially the bottleneck problem of the ascending peak is the key point of constant attention in the related field.

Currently, in order to solve the above problems, there are two ideas: one is to reduce the cycle running time RTT (the time the elevator is loaded with passengers in the lobby + the time the elevator runs between floors + the time the elevator returns to the lobby without load) while the transport capacity is unchanged; and secondly, the RTT is kept unchanged, and the transportation capacity is improved. Based on this, there are 3 following main elevator traffic configuration solutions:

1. the elevator is arranged in subareas, and high-low subareas, high-medium-low subareas and the like are common. The cycle run time RTT is reduced by reducing the number of service floors per elevator.

2. And the destination elevator dispatching directly reduces the stop number of each RTT cycle by placing passengers at the same destination floor to the same elevator car, thereby reducing the RTT.

3. The number of elevators, or cars, is increased, such as Twins (one shaft double ladder) and doublydeck (double car) of aussler.

However, both of the above solutions have problems, and with respect to the solution 1, since the peak of the passenger flow in each area is not consistent, and the resources are not shared in the elevator partition, the RTT cannot be effectively reduced in practice. With the 2 nd scheme, the floors served by each elevator are too many, and passengers on different destination floors arrive at the same time too randomly to focus on the elevator. Whereas for the 3 rd solution increasing the number of elevators or cars is very effective in reducing the RTT, but adds significantly to the cost.

That is to say, the current elevator traffic configuration scheme aiming at improving the transportation capacity has poor practical effect or high cost, so a solution capable of effectively reducing the cycle running time and reducing the cost is urgently needed.

Detailed Description

Reference will now be made in detail to the exemplary embodiments, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description refers to the accompanying drawings, like numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements unless otherwise indicated. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with the present application. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatus and methods consistent with certain aspects of the present application, as detailed in the appended claims.

In order to solve the problems in the background art, the elevator configuration scheme is provided based on a trunk-branch theory. Trunk-branch theory: the moisture required by the leaves is transferred to the leaves through the roots → trunks → branches. Therefore, the optimization of the vertical traffic can adopt a tree trunk-branch theory, namely, the group elevators are divided into tree trunk elevators and branch elevators.

Wherein, to the analysis of elevator traffic flow: the main traffic of the passenger flow is from the main terminal of the building, usually at the bottom floor, to each floor. And when the station goes off duty, the opposite is realized, and the flow from each layer to the master end station is realized. The direction of the noon passenger flow depends on the restaurant location. Except for the peak of the passenger flow in the three times, the passenger flow in the rest of the time is less. Of course, a large company may rent several adjacent floors to work, and therefore, may create a trivial run within a zone. However, in summary, the up peak is also the traffic problem that should be solved first by the high-rise building because the time of people is urgent during the working hours, and therefore, the following description will take the up peak as an example and will be detailed by embodiments.

Examples

The present embodiment provides a high-rise elevator system, which includes: a trunk elevator and a branch elevator which run in different shafts;

the trunk elevator stops only at the hall and a plurality of preset transfer floors and is used for conveying passengers in the hall to each transfer floor or conveying passengers on each transfer floor to the hall or other transfer floors (the other transfer floors refer to transfer floors except for the transfer floor where the passengers enter the trunk elevator in the building);

a plurality of branch elevators are arranged in the same shaft where the branch elevators are located, and different branch elevators operate and stop in non-overlapping operation intervals; the operation interval is set based on the transfer layer; the branch elevator is used for transporting passengers on each floor in the operation zone to other floors (the other floors refer to floors except for the floor where the passenger enters the branch elevator in the current operation zone).

That is, the trunk elevator does not stop at the full floor of the building, but only stops at the key transfer floor, and the branch elevator does not stop at the full floor, but only takes charge of a certain operation zone (such as a floor zone between two adjacent transfer floors), for example, in an office building, during the peak of work, the trunk elevator takes charge of rapidly transporting passengers gathered in a lobby (usually 1 st floor) to the transfer floor, and then the branch elevator transports the passengers corresponding to the transfer floor to the destination floor, thereby completing the transportation of the passengers.

Further, each of the run intervals may include one or more transfer layers. That is, when the same branch elevator is operated in its operating zone, there may be one or more transfer floors so that passengers can transfer elevators at different transfer floors. The scheme is suitable for the condition that a single operation zone contains more floors, and is convenient for passengers of different destination floors to get in and out of the elevator. For example, a certain travel section includes two transfer floors, and a stop floor of a branch elevator when the branch elevator travels from one of the transfer floors to one of the transfer floors is different from a stop floor when the branch elevator travels in the reverse direction.

For convenience of understanding, it is assumed that a certain operation zone including only one transfer floor corresponds to 21-40 floors of floors, and it is assumed that the transfer floor is located at 21 floors, the current position is at 1 floor, and it is convenient for a passenger whose target floor is 22 floors to transfer, but it is inconvenient for a passenger whose target floor is 32 floors to transfer, therefore, two transfer floors may be set according to the above-mentioned scheme, for example, both the top floor (40 floors) and the bottom floor (21 floors) of the operation zone are set as transfer floors, and it is more convenient for a passenger whose target floor is 32 floors to transfer through the transfer floors of 40 floors. Furthermore, it is considered that, after setting two transfer floors, the number of stops of the corresponding trunk elevator and the waiting time at the transfer floor increase, i.e., the cycle running time RTT becomes longer. Therefore, the stopping floors of the branch elevators when the branch elevators operate from one transfer floor to the other transfer floor are different from the stopping floors when the branch elevators operate in the reverse direction, so that the stopping times of the branch elevators can be effectively reduced, and the cycle operating time RTT is further reduced. Based on the above example, it can be provided, for example, that when the branch elevator runs from the top floor (40 floors) to the bottom floor (21 floors) of the operating interval, only odd floors (and transfer floors) are parked, and when the branch elevator runs from the bottom floor (21 floors) to the top floor (40 floors) of the operating interval, only even floors (and transfer floors) are parked. For example, when the branch elevator runs from the top floor (40 floors) to the bottom floor (21 floors) of the operating section, only the corresponding high-floor section, that is, 31 to 40 floors (and transfer floors) are parked, and when the branch elevator runs from the bottom floor (21 floors) to the top floor (40 floors) of the operating section, only the low-floor section, that is, 21 to 30 floors (and transfer floors) are parked.

Based on above-mentioned scheme, through setting up trunk elevator and branch elevator to the passenger can be through the exchange of two or many elevators, finally reaches the destination floor. The transformation of this kind of thinking will make trunk elevator and branch elevator can move simultaneously, and trunk elevator service floor quantity sharply reduces in addition, also promptly the station number of once circulating operation sharply reduces to the RTT that significantly reduces and improve the transport capacity. Moreover, because the floor that branch elevator is responsible is less (highly lower) consequently choose for use the low-speed elevator can, so, a well is shared to several low-speed elevators, and they are mutually noninterfere, and the subregion operation has improved the transport capacity greatly, and because the price of low-speed elevator is less than high-speed elevator far away, consequently, also can not lead to the cost to obviously increase.

Furthermore, to cope with special situations, the system may set an emergency mode in which the trunk elevator stops at each floor. So, when special circumstances appear, for example when branch elevator overhauls, can realize passenger's transportation by trunk elevator itself.

For better understanding, the description is further made by two examples with reference to the accompanying drawings, firstly referring to fig. 1, and fig. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of a high-rise elevator system provided in an embodiment of the present application. In this example, the number of floors is 40 (floor1-floor 40). The system shown in fig. 1 includes 4 elevator hoistways (hereinafter, hoistways), that is, H1, H2, H3, and H4 in fig. 1. In addition, elevator a and elevator B are trunk elevators, which stop only at

floors

1, 11, 21, 31, with floor1 being a lobby (lobby) and

floors

11, 21, 31 being transfer floors. Elevators C, D, E, F, G, H, I and J are branch elevators, which serve 1-10, 11-20, 21-30, 31-40 intervals, respectively, and stop at each floor in the corresponding service interval (run interval). Each arrow indicates the travel section and the travel direction of the corresponding elevator, and the movement direction of the transfer passenger. It should be noted that, besides the operation section, the elevator has a pit, a machine room, etc., and therefore a partition or a partition floor must be provided, based on which, in this embodiment, 10, 20, and 30 floors are provided as corresponding equipment floors as natural partitions of the elevator in the upper/lower area, and the equipment floors may not stop. Based on the elevator scheme, when passengers need to go to work from 1 floor to 19 floors, the passengers can take the elevator A or the elevator B to reach 11 floors and then take the elevator E or the elevator F to reach 19 floors.

In fig. 1, the number of floors included in the operating sections corresponding to the different branch elevators is equal, and is 10. This kind of scheme is applicable to that building overall structure is even, also the structure of different floors, the condition that the area is the same, and so, the passenger volume that every branch elevator is responsible for transporting is also similar, is favorable to promoting conveying efficiency. Of course, the number of the specific floors can be set according to actual conditions, and is not limited to be 10.

It is easy to understand that if the overall structure of the applied building is not uniform, the number of floors included in the operating sections corresponding to different branch elevators may not be equal, for example, when the overall structure of the building is large in low floor area and small in high floor area, the number of floors responsible for the branch elevators corresponding to the operating sections of the high floors may be increased appropriately, and vice versa.

Next, for another example, referring to fig. 2, fig. 2 is a schematic structural diagram of another high-rise elevator system provided in the embodiment of the present application. In this example, the floor number is also 40 (floor1-floor 40). The system shown in fig. 2 also includes 4 hoistways, i.e., H1, H2, H3, and H4 in fig. 2. In addition, elevator a and elevator B are trunk elevators, which stop only at

floors

1, 19, 21, and 40, with floor1 being a lobby (lobby),

floors

19, 21, and 40 being transfer floors, and floor 20 being an equipment floor. The elevators C, D, E, F are branch elevators which serve the intervals 1-19 and 21-40, respectively, but in the corresponding service intervals (running intervals) the stopping floors depend on the elevator running direction, and in particular, in the case of the elevator C, only the floors 1-10 and 19 (i.e. "one-zone low zone" and transfer floor1 in fig. 2) are stopped when going upwards, and only the floors 11-19 and 1 (i.e. "one-zone high zone" and lobby in fig. 2) are stopped when going downwards. Based on the elevator scheme, when passengers go to work from 1 floor to 18 floors, the passengers can take the elevator A or the elevator B to reach 19 floors and then take the elevator C or the elevator D to reach 18 floors.

Further, in view of the fact that the transportation capacity of the elevator is greatly improved when the above-described solution is applied, but the unique operating principle (at least one transfer) thereof may cause confusion in the use of new passengers, the present application also provides the following improvements:

the improved elevator system further comprises monitoring equipment arranged in a hall and each transfer floor and intelligent equipment carried by passengers on the basis of the scheme; the monitoring equipment is used for automatically monitoring and counting the passenger flow crowding condition of the corresponding floor, and sending the passenger flow crowding condition to the intelligent equipment for displaying.

Specifically, the monitoring device may include a camera device and a corresponding processing device (the processing device may be integrated into the camera device), which collects video frames of a corresponding area in real time, and then performs human body detection by a human body detection algorithm built in the processing device, and determines a congestion situation of the passenger flow, where the congestion situation of the passenger flow does not need to be accurate to a specific number of people, but only estimates a general number of people and determines the congestion situation, for example, the congestion situation may be classified into idle, general, congested, and heavily congested, and the like, and then displayed by text or different colors (refer to fig. 3(c), and the display is performed by different colors in fig. 3 (c)). Or other modes can be adopted, as long as the passenger waiting for taking the elevator can be given a reference so as to avoid busy floors.

In addition, in some embodiments, as shown in fig. 3(a) and 3(b), the intelligent device is further configured to obtain a destination floor input by the passenger, and recommend an elevator taking scheme (i.e., an elevator taking route) for the passenger according to the traffic congestion situation counted by the monitoring device.

For example, the smart device may be a smart phone, and the user inputs a destination floor, checks a passenger flow congestion condition sent by the monitoring device, and recommends an elevator boarding scheme through an APP or an applet installed on the smart phone. Different regional plans of the building (such as dividing leisure areas, office areas, restaurant areas, and the like) can also be displayed in the APP or the small program, so that new passengers can conveniently view and select the plans.

In addition, when the elevator taking scheme is recommended, the elevator can be dispatched according to the target floors input by a plurality of different users comprehensively, so that the users corresponding to the same target floor take the same elevator, namely, for an elevator system which is similar to that shown in fig. 1 and comprises a plurality of trunk elevator shafts (namely, H1 and H2) and/or a plurality of branch elevator shafts (namely, H3 and H4), the destination dispatching can be carried out according to the target floors input by the users, so that the users corresponding to the same target floor take the same elevator, the stopping times of the elevator are reduced, and the cycle running time RTT is shortened.

Furthermore, in order to facilitate the use of the user, voice navigation can be set, namely voice broadcasting is carried out on the elevator taking route according to the recommended elevator taking scheme.

It is of course to be noted that in order to ensure the accuracy of the boarding solution and the navigation, each elevator should have a code, a location, and a clear working range (which cannot be changed at least for a period of time).

Thus, after the above improvement, passengers can easily shuttle in a super high building no matter how peculiar or complicated elevator configuration or layout, as long as the passengers have mobile phones and building maps and navigation APPs.
