Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for controlling an elevator system with at least one shaft and with a plurality of cars, each of which is associated with a drive and a brake, wherein at least two cars can be moved up and down separately along a common carriageway, with a passenger making a destination call with a Enter the destination by means of an input unit of a control device of the elevator system arranged outside the at least one shaft and then carry out an allocation evaluation for each car, compare the allocation evaluations of all the cars with one another and assign the destination call to operate the car with the best allocation rating.
- the invention also relates to an elevator installation, in particular for carrying out the method, with at least one shaft and with a plurality of cars, each of which is assigned a drive and a brake, at least two cars being able to be moved up and down separately along a common roadway and with outside of the at least one shaft arranged input units for inputting a destination call and with a control device for controlling the cars, with an allocation evaluation for the individual cars being carried out by means of the control device after input of a destination call and the destination call being assignable to a car.
- the object of the present invention is to develop a method of the type mentioned at the outset in such a way that the transport capacity can be increased and shaft space can be saved, the cars which can be moved along a common carriageway hindering one another as little as possible.
- an allocation evaluation of the destination call is carried out for each of the elevator car systems in operation, depending on the operating data and the operating state of the respective elevator car. Based on the allocation ratings, the destination call is then assigned to the car with the best allocation rating so that it can serve the destination call. If this is a car that shares a lane with at least one other car, it is provided according to the invention that the lane section required for operating the destination call for the assigned car cut is assigned to this car, while it is blocked for the other cars that can be moved along the common carriageway during the time of the assignment.
- the lane section required to service the destination call is understood to mean the lane section which, starting from the current position of the car serving the destination call, extends over the starting point to the destination of the journey desired by the passenger.
- This lane section is thus "booked" by the car to which the destination call has been assigned to serve the destination call, so that another of the cars which can be moved along the common lane during the time of the existing assignment, that is to say during the time the destination call is operated, in
- the common carriageway here is a common travel path of at least two cars within a shaft, ie a shaft area that is used by both a first and at least a second car to travel.
- At least two cars can be moved along common guide rails, but it can also be provided that separate guide rails are assigned to the at least two cars along the common carriageway.
- shaft space can be saved and at the same time an h without transport capacity.
- the assignment evaluations carried out for each car are compared with one another in order to then be able to assign the entered destination call to the car with the best assignment rating. It is advantageous here if one excludes from the comparison of the assignment evaluations those cars whose lane section required in each case to serve the current destination call at least partially overlaps a lane section that has not yet been used because of an earlier one served destination call was assigned to another car.
- the lane section required to service a current destination call does not overlap any lane section already assigned to a car, then it is advantageous if only the allocation evaluations of the cars traveling along the common lane are compared with one another and then only the car with the best allocation rating of these cars is compared for comparison with the allocation ratings of the remaining cars.
- only an allocation evaluation is first carried out for the cars that can be moved along a common carriageway if the current destination call can in principle be served by all of these cars. Of the cars that share a common lane, only the car with the best allocation rating is then used for comparison with the allocation ratings of the remaining cars, while all other cars that can be moved along the common lane are excluded from this comparison.
- the current destination call can in principle be served by all cars that share a common carriageway, it is advantageous if each of these cars is provisionally assigned to the section of the carriageway required to service the current destination call, then the results of the assignment evaluations of these cars are compared and then, with the exception of the car with the best allocation rating, removes the provisional assignment of the lane sections, and when the current destination call is assigned to the car that can travel along the common lane, which has the best allocation rating of these cars, this car is finally assigned to the respective lane section and with Failure to assign the current destination call to this car cancels the provisional assignment of the respective lane section.
- a road section is assigned to one of the cars that can be moved along a common road in two stages, provided that the current destination call can in principle be served by each of these cars.
- each of these cars is provisionally assigned to the section of roadway required to service the destination call. It is then checked which of the cars sharing a common carriageway has the best allocation rating. Its provisional assignment remains until the current destination call has been assigned to one car, while the provisional assignments of the other cars are canceled as soon as it is clear which of the cars sharing a common carriageway has the best assignment rating. If the destination call is finally assigned to the car that shares its lane with other cars, the second assignment level now becomes that for the car Car permanently assigned the required section of the lane to the car.
- the carriages that can be moved along a common carriageway are provisionally assigned to the carriageway section required to service the destination call, in order then to compare the assignment evaluations of these carriages with one another. It has proven to be advantageous here to exclude from the comparison of the assignment evaluations of the cars traveling along a common roadway those cars whose roadway section required to service a current destination call at least partially overlaps a roadway section which is due to one of the cars traveling along the common roadway of an earlier destination call that has not yet been assigned to a specific car has been provisionally assigned.
- a lane section that has been assigned to a car is released for the other cars by storey when the destination call is operated.
- the range of motion of the cars which can be moved along the common carriageway can be increased, because during the operation of a destination call, the section of the carriageway assigned to one of these cars is released floor by floor as soon as the car serving the destination call has left the respective floor.
- the elevator system is used in a building, the occupancy of which is such that, starting from a particularly frequented floor, for example a parking deck, the building is occupied both upwards and downwards, it has proven to be advantageous if at least one assigns a preferred area of the common carriageway to one of the cars that can be moved along a common carriageway and takes into account the location of the carriageway section required to service a destination call relative to the respective preferred carriageway in the allocation assessment.
- the preferred areas can be assigned to the cars without overlap.
- it can be provided that adjacent preferred areas directly adjoin one another.
- a double storey can then be provided in the border area of the two preferred areas, so that a passenger can select an upper or a lower preferred area starting from the double storey, depending on whether he desires an upward or downward travel.
- the allocation evaluation of the individual cars for the operation of a destination call can take place depending on the situation, that is to say depending on the number of destination calls present in each case. Alternatively, the allocation can be assessed depending on the load on the cars. Such an evaluation enables a so-called "filling traffic", which is aimed at distributing as many passengers as possible from particularly frequented stops to a building in the shortest possible time. For this purpose it can be provided, for example, that the cars remain in an access stop with open doors until Either an adjustable load threshold of the cars has been exceeded or an adjustable service life has expired. This ensures that the cars are filled better and thus a higher conveying capacity is available. Such an allocation evaluation can take place depending on the time of day.
- an occupancy-dependent allocation assessment is carried out, with the assignment as the access stop for the cars corridor of the building, for example the ground floor or a parking deck.
- a situation-dependent allocation assessment can then be carried out during the rest of the day.
- a further occupancy-dependent allocation assessment is carried out on workdays, for example between 12.30 p.m. and 1.30 p.m., a canteen floor being specified as the access stop. This ensures that users can leave the floor on which the canteen is located within a short time after visiting the canteen.
- the destinations of the car arriving next on the respective floor are displayed on a display device.
- the user thereby receives an indication of which destinations are served by the car arriving next on the floor.
- This has the advantage that, after entering his destination call, a user can check before entering a car whether he is entering the car desired to reach his destination.
- a display enables a passenger not necessarily to enter a destination call if his destination matches one of the destinations already displayed. The passenger can thus easily enter the incoming car, there is no time to enter the destination, which in turn can increase the conveying capacity of the elevator system.
- the passenger After entering a destination call, it is provided in a preferred embodiment of the method according to the invention that the passenger is shown the car assigned to operate his destination call on a display unit assigned to the input unit. A very specific car is therefore clearly assigned to the passenger. If several cars can be moved in a shaft along a common carriageway, a different colored design of the cars can be provided to distinguish them.
- a control unit with a group control function is assigned to each car, the control unit carrying out the assignment evaluation for the assigned car and all control units being electrically connected to one another.
- the elevator system can be operated particularly insensitively to faults, since a superordinate central unit for controlling the cars can be dispensed with. Rather, the control of all the cars can be carried out with the help of the central control units, which each have a group control function.
- all control units of the elevator system are wired or wirelessly connected to one another, and their interaction controls all of the cars.
- the allocation evaluation is carried out by each control unit for the respectively assigned car, and the results of the allocation evaluations can be transmitted to all control units via the electrical connection, so that the comparison of the allocation evaluations can be carried out simultaneously by all control units.
- the control unit that recognizes on the basis of the comparison that the car assigned to it has the best allocation rating assigns the current destination call to itself and sends a corresponding allocation response to the control unit that has read the destination call. Based on their calculation, the other control units recognize that the target call currently pending for operation has been taken over by one control unit and the car assigned to it.
- a central group control unit is assigned to at least the cars that can be moved along a common carriageway, which can carry out the allocation evaluation of all assigned cars. If the group control unit is used in addition to the decentralized control units, the group control unit does not have to be constructed redundantly, because if it fails, the control of the cars and the allocation evaluation are taken over by the decentralized control units.
- the group control unit preferably has a considerably higher computing power than that decentralized control units. This enables the behavior of the passengers to be identified by means of the central group control unit in order to be able to carry out a corresponding allocation assessment of the cars.
- the central group control unit can carry out a forward-looking allocation assessment using methods of "artificial intelligence" known per se, in order to be able to provide the highest possible transport capacity depending on the behavior pattern of the passengers.
- the invention also relates to an elevator installation, in particular for carrying out the method explained above, with the features mentioned at the beginning.
- an elevator installation in particular for carrying out the method explained above, with the features mentioned at the beginning.
- the invention provides that when the destination call is assigned to one of the cars traveling along a common carriageway, the the lane section required for the assigned car to operate the destination call can be assigned to this car and that this lane section is not accessible to the other cars that can be moved along the common lane during the time of the assignment.
- Such a design of the elevator system makes it possible to temporarily assign the lane shared by several cars in sections depending on the destination calls entered to one of the cars that share the lane, so that this lane section can only be used by this one car while it is is temporarily inaccessible to the other cars that can be moved along the common carriageway.
- one preferred embodiment is tion form of the elevator system according to the invention provided that the one of the carriages movable along a common carriageway section can be released by storey for the other carriages when the destination call is operated. If the car serving the destination call, to which a certain section of the lane has been assigned, leaves one floor, this floor can be immediately released again for the other cars, so that it is accessible to another car to serve a subsequent destination call.
- control device of the elevator installation comprises a plurality of control units each having a group control function, each of which is assigned to a car and is connected to one another via a data transmission system, the assignment evaluation for the respectively assigned car being able to be carried out by means of the control units.
- the electrical connection of the control units can be wired or wireless. It is particularly advantageous if the data transmission system is designed as a BUS system. Alternatively, separate connecting lines can be used, and a connection via light guides can also be provided. A wireless connection can be made, for example, by radio.
- control units which are assigned to the cars which can be moved along a common roadway are connected to one another via a separate data line.
- the control units each have a central processing unit, and it has proven to be advantageous if the central processing units of the control units are connected directly to one another via the separate data line. It is particularly advantageous if the separate data line has a higher data transmission speed than that Data transmission system. This enables a particularly rapid coordination of the control units to which the cars that are movable along a common roadway are assigned.
- the input units arranged on the floors to be operated by the elevator system are preferably connected to at least one control unit via a data line.
- the data line can be wired or wireless, in particular in the form of a BUS system.
- control device comprises a central group control unit assigned to at least the cars that are movable along a common carriageway in order to carry out the allocation evaluation and to assign a destination call to one of the cars. It is particularly advantageous here if the control device has both control units assigned to each car and also a central group control unit, it being possible optionally for the decentralized control units or the central group control unit to perform an allocation evaluation and allocation of a destination call.
- the input units are each assigned a display unit for displaying the car serving the destination call entered or the shaft at the stop of which the car arrives, and preferably also for displaying the Estimated duration until arrival or until the car leaves.
- the passenger After entering a destination call, the passenger thus receives a message as to which car or shaft he should use and how long the expected waiting time will last.
- the elevator system according to the invention is preferably designed in such a way that two cars can be moved up and down in a shaft along a common carriageway. With the exception of the lowest or the highest stop, all of the stops can be reached from these two cars.
- the elevator system comprises at least two shafts, wherein in a first shaft at least two cars can be moved along a common carriageway and in a second shaft a single car can be moved along a carriageway from the bottom stop to the top stop.
- FIG. 1 is a schematic representation of an elevator system according to the invention.
- Figure 2 is a flow chart of the method used to control the elevator system according to the invention.
- FIG. 1 schematically shows an elevator system, which is generally designated by reference number 10, and which has a first shaft 12 and a second one Has shaft 14, in each of which two guide rails 16, 17 and 18, 19 are held.
- the two guide rails 16, 17 of the first shaft form a common carriageway for an upper car 21 and a lower car 22, which can be moved up and down along the guide rails 16 and 17.
- the upper car 21 is coupled to a counterweight 25 via a support cable 24, and the lower car 22 is coupled to a counterweight 28 via a support cable 27.
- Each of the two cars 21 and 22 is assigned a separate drive in the form of an electric drive motor 30 and 32, and a separate brake 34 and 36, respectively.
- the drive motors 30 and 32 each act on a traction sheave 38 and 40, respectively, via which the supporting cables 24 and 27 are performed.
- the control of the cars 21 and 22 takes place in each case via a separate control unit 42 or 44, which have a group control element 46 or 47 and a central processing unit 48 or 49.
- the latter are directly connected to one another via a data line 50 designed in the form of a BUS system.
- the control units 42 and 44 are electrically connected via control lines to the respectively assigned drive motor 30 or 32 and to the associated brake 34 or 36, so that the cars 21 and 22 are moved up and down in the usual manner within the first elevator shaft 12 can be used to transport people and / or loads.
- the second shaft 14 accommodates a single car 52, which can be moved along the guide rails 18 and 19 from a lowest to an uppermost stop and which is coupled to a counterweight 56 via a support cable 54, the support cable 54 being guided via a traction sheave 58 is that with a drive associated with the car 52 in the form of an electric Drive motor 60 is coupled.
- the car 52 is assigned a separate brake 62 which, like the drive motor 60, is in electrical connection with a control unit 64 assigned to the car 52 via a control line.
- the control unit 64 comprises a group control element 66 and a central processing unit 67.
- the elevator installation 10 can comprise a superordinate group control unit 70 with a connecting element 71, with the aid of which the group control unit 70 can be connected to a data transmission system 73 designed as a BUS system , via which all control units 42, 44, 64 of the elevator installation 10 are connected to one another.
- the group control unit 70 in combination with the control units 42, 44 and 64, forms a control device, which is denoted overall by reference numeral 75 in FIG. 1, and can be used as an alternative to the control units 42, 44, 64 to control the elevator system 10.
- An input element with an integrated display element in the form of a touch-sensitive screen 77 is arranged on each floor that can be operated by the elevator system 10.
- a display device 80 on each floor in the area of the shafts 12 and 14. All of the screens 77 and display devices 80 are connected to the control device 75 via an electrical connecting line 82 which is also designed as a BUS system.
- the connecting line 82 is connected to the control unit 42, which is in electrical connection via the data transmission system 73 with the remaining control units 44 and 64 and with the group control unit 70 which can be used alternatively.
- a passenger can enter a destination call with a desired destination of the control device 75, which then carries out an allocation evaluation and assigns one of the cars 21, 22, 52 to the destination call for its operation.
- the passenger is shown the car to be used on the touch-sensitive screen 77, and the expected time until the car arrives can also be displayed.
- the passenger receives an indication of which destinations are to be approached by the cars arriving next on the floor. If one of the displayed destinations agrees with the destination desired by the passenger, there is no need to enter a destination call.
- the display device 80 can also be used to display the expected duration until the next cars arrive.
- An entered destination call is transmitted to the control unit 42 of the control device 75 via the electrical connecting line 82.
- the control unit 42 forwards the destination call via the data transmission system 73 to the remaining control units 44 and 64 of the elevator installation.
- Each control unit 42, 44 and 64 was assigned a number during the assembly of the elevator installation 10, and the entered destination call is stored by all control units 42, 44 and 64 in a memory element known per se and therefore not shown in the drawing until the control unit with the smallest assigned number, for example control unit 42, transmits the signal for evaluating the input destination call to all control units via data transmission system 73.
- an allocation evaluation is then made by all control units 42, 44 and 64 for the respectively assigned car 21, 22 and 52, respectively of the entered destination call based on a predefined evaluation algorithm as a function of the operating data and operating states of the respective car 21, 22 and 52, in order to determine the optimal car for operating the destination call with regard to the highest possible transport capacity.
- the control units 42 and 44 to each of which a car 21 or 22 is assigned, which shares the common carriageway 16, 17 with a further car 22 or 21, check in a method step 102 whether the Operation of the current destination call required lane section, i.e. the lane section starting from the current position of the respective car over the starting point of the desired journey to the entered destination, at least partially overlaps a lane section that was already used in connection with a previously entered but not yet fully served The destination call was assigned to the respective car 21 or 22, that is to say was “booked” for this car.
- one of the two control units 42, 44 determines that the section of the carriageway required to operate the current destination call overlaps a section of the carriageway already assigned to the respective car, then transmits the respective control unit 42 or 44 in method step 103 the result of the assignment evaluation carried out via the data transmission system 73 to the remaining control units of the elevator installation 10.
- a method step 104 the control units 42 and 44 check whether the one to operate the current one Destination call required lane section at least partially a lane section overlaps, for which there is at least a provisional assignment for the other of the two cars 21, 22 that can be moved along a common carriageway 16, 17, that is, it is checked whether the carriageway section required for serving the current destination call for the respective car 21 or 22 is completely free.
- the control unit 42 or 44 assigned to this car does not change the method step 105 to “not” operable "and in process step 103 via the data transmission system 73 transmit the information to all control units of the elevator installation 10 that the current destination call from the respective car 21 or 22 cannot be operated.
- the respective control unit 42 or 44 communicates via the direct data transmission line 50 to the other control unit along the common one Lane 16, 17 movable cars 21, 22 transmit a signal in method step 106, according to which the respectively required section of the lane is provisionally assigned to the respective car 21 or 22.
- the control units 42 and 44 then check in method step 107 which of the two cars 21 and 22 has the better allocation rating. For this purpose, the control units 42 and 44 mutually transmit the result of their allocation evaluation via the data line 50 together with the provisional assignment of the lane section and compare the results in each case.
- the data transmission line 50 has a data transmission speed that is higher than the data transmission speed of the data transmission system 73.
- Transmission via the normal data transmission system 73 can be selected.
- the control unit 42 or 44 which is assigned to the car with the better allocation evaluation, then transmits the result of the own allocation evaluation via the data transmission system 73 to the other control units of the elevator installation 10 in method step 103, while from the control unit 42 or 44, its assigned elevator car 21 or 22 which has the poorer allocation rating, according to method step 105 the rating is set to "not operable", which is then transmitted in method step 103 via the data transmission system 73.
- control unit 64 assigned to the car 52 also transmits the result of its allocation evaluation via the data transmission system in method step 103 73.
- all control units 42, 44 and 64 of elevator system 10 have the results of all allocation evaluations to be taken into account, so that all control units 42, 44 and 64 can then compare the allocation evaluations and assign the current destination call
- the control unit whose car receives the best allocation rating assigns the current destination call to itself and sends a corresponding allocation response to the control unit 42 which has read the destination call, and this control unit 42 then sends the allocation response rt via the connecting line 82 to the touch-sensitive screen 77 on which the destination call was entered.
- the passenger is then shown which car 21, 22 or 52 or which shaft 12 or 14 he should use and, if necessary, how long it will probably take for the desired car 21, 22 or 52 on the floor of the passenger arrives.
- the two control units 42, 44 then check whether the assignment of the current destination call to the respective car 21 or 22 has taken place. If this question is answered in the affirmative, the corresponding control unit 42 or 44 transmits a final step in method step 109 via the direct data transmission line 50 to the other control unit, whose car shares the shaft 12 with its own car, with regard to the section of the roadway required to service the destination call assignment signal.
- the lane section required to service the current destination call is thus finally assigned to car 21 or 22, that is to say in method step 109, the lane section required to serve the current destination call is finally "booked" if one of the two cars 21 and 22 has the best allocation rating ,
- the control unit 42 or 44 which determines in step 108 that the destination call has not been assigned to the respective car 21 or 22, sends a signal in step 110 via the direct data transmission line 50 to the other control unit, after which the provisional assignment of the respectively required lane section that was carried out in method step 106 is canceled again.
