【発明の詳細な説明】 この発明は割当方式のエレベータ乗場の表示装
置の改良に関するものである。DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to an improvement in a display device for an elevator hall using an assignment method.

乗場呼びが登録されたとき、これにかごを割り
当て、このかごを乗場呼びの登録された階に応答
させるものを、割当式のエレベータと言う。この
方式のエレベータでは、かごの割り当てられた階

別に表示する割当灯を設けて、乗場の待客の便宜
を計るようにしたものがある。 An elevator that allocates a car to a car when a hall call is registered and causes the car to respond to the floor on which the hall call is registered is called an assigned elevator. Some elevators of this type are provided with assigned lights on the floors to which the cars are assigned, which display which car is assigned to each driving direction, for the convenience of passengers waiting in the hall.

ところが、割り当てられたかごが、途中で満員
になるともはや割り当てられた乗場呼びには応答
できなくなるため、割当てを解除し、割り当てら
れている階の割当灯は消灯されるのが一般的であ
る。また、かごが満員になると、最初のかご呼び
階までにある階の割当灯だけ消灯し、上記かご呼
び階よりも先の階の割当灯は点灯したままにして
おくことも考えられる。これは、かご呼びで停止
すると乗客が降りるため、その後乗場呼びに応答
し得る余地が生じることがあるからである。 However, if the assigned car becomes full midway through, it will no longer be able to respond to the assigned hall calls, so generally the assignment is canceled and the assigned lights on the assigned floor are turned off. Furthermore, when the car becomes full, it is conceivable that only the lights assigned to the floors up to the first car call floor are turned off, while the assigned lights of the floors beyond the car call floor are left on. This is because when the car stops due to a car call, passengers get off and there may be room for them to respond to a hall call.

しかしながら、上記では、割当灯がすぐ消灯さ
れてしまうため、途中のかご呼びに応答して満員
でなくなつたとき、その階よりも先の乗場呼びに
応答できるにもかかわらず、割り当ては解除され
ているため、他のかごが割り当てられることにな
り、応答が遅れる。そして、最初のかご呼び階ま
での呼びに新しく割り当てられたかごが、続いて
満員になると再び割当灯を消灯することがあり、
割当灯の点灯変更が何度も生じ、乗場の待客を混
乱させることになり兼ねない。 However, in the above case, the assigned light is immediately turned off, so when a car call is answered on the way and the car is no longer full, the assignment is canceled even though it is possible to respond to a call on the floor beyond that floor. As a result, another car will be allocated and the response will be delayed. Then, when the car that is newly assigned to the first car call floor becomes full, the assigned light may be turned off again.
The lighting of the allocated lights may be changed many times, which may confuse the passengers waiting at the boarding point.

この発明は、上記不具合を改良するもので、か

る。 If No. 1 is running in the up direction, the up direction signal 4 becomes "H", and when it approaches this floor, the car position signal 3 becomes "H", and the output of AND gate 7 becomes "H". . When the No. 1 car decides to stop on this floor (explanation omitted), the stop decision signal 6 becomes "H". On the other hand, since the output of the memory 15 is "H", the output of the OR gate 14 is also "H". Now, all the inputs to the AND gate 11 become "H", so the memory 16 is set and the hall up call release signal 16a becomes "H". As a result, the up call is canceled, the up call signal 1 becomes "L", and the memory 15 is reset through the OR gate 13, so its output becomes "L" and the assigned light 18 goes out. In other words, when the assigned car responds to the assigned call, the hall call is canceled and the assigned light 1 is turned off.
Turn off 8. The up call release signal 16a is generated when car No. 1 leaves this floor and the car position signal 3 becomes "L", or when the car is no longer operating in the up direction and the up direction signal 4 is activated.
is outputted by the memory 16 until the output of the AND gate 7 becomes "L".

なる。 Next, car No. 1 is assigned to the up call on this floor, but if it becomes full on the way, the full signal 5 becomes "H", and the assigned car full signal 12a ₁ , which is the output of the AND gate 12, becomes "H". ”, but in this case, no change occurs in the circuit. Full traffic signal 5
Even if the signal becomes "H", the first car has not yet approached this floor, so the car position signal 3 is "L". Therefore, the output of AND gate 7 becomes "L", and therefore the output of AND gate 8 becomes "L".
And since the output of OR gate 13 is also "L",
Memory 15 is not reset and assigned light 1 on this floor
8 remains lit. Since Unit 1 is full, passengers will have to pass through this floor (the circuit is not shown). When Unit 1 automatically passes through this floor,
Since the car position signal 3 and the up direction signal 4 are both "H", the output of the AND gate 7 is also "H".
Therefore, the output of AND gate 8 also becomes "H".
Therefore, the output of the OR gate 13 also becomes "H" and the memory 15 is reset, its output becomes "L" and the assigned light 18 goes out. At this time, the output of the time delay element 17 is "H". Also, since the stop decision signal 6 is "L",
The output of AND gate 10 is "L". Therefore, the output of the AND gate 9 becomes "H", and the full occupancy light 19 is turned on. Then, since the output of the delay element 17 becomes "L" after a certain period of time has elapsed, the full-occupancy light 19 is turned off at this time. On the other hand, since the stop decision signal 6 is "L", the output of the AND gate 11 is "L", and since the memory 16 is not set, the up call cancellation signal 16a is "L", and the up call for this floor is Not canceled. The uplink call will then be assigned to another car. That is,
Even if the allocated car becomes full on the way, the allocated light 18 is not turned off immediately at that point, but is turned off when passing through the allocated floor. Therefore, after it is full,
When the car is no longer full due to car calls being stopped, etc., there is room to respond to the up-calls on this floor, so the number of lighting changes for the assigned lights can be kept to a minimum of one, making it easier to wait. There is less confusion among customers. Furthermore, when the assigned light 18 of the No. 1 car is turned off, the full-occupancy light 19 is turned on to notify the reason, so that the waiting customers can be given a more friendly guidance.

灯する。 Next, car No. 1 was assigned to the up call on this floor, but it became full on the way, and before the assigned car could pass this floor, it was newly assigned to the up call on this floor. Assume that the car or the car with the car call for that floor (referred to as car No. 2) has stopped on this floor. In this case, the allocated car full signal 12a1 of car No. ₁ is "H". On the other hand, since the No. 2 car is not assigned to the up call on this floor, the output of the memory 15 of the No. 2 car is "L".
However, since the allocated car full signal 12a ₁ of car No. 1 is "H" (if the figure is for car No. 2, it corresponds to either signal 12a ₂ or 12a ₃ of other cars), The OR gate 14 becomes "H". 2
When the machine decides to stop on this floor and stops, the output of the stop decision signal 6 and the AND gate 7 both become "H", the output of the AND gate 11 becomes "H", the memory 16 is set, and the uplink call is canceled. The signal 16a becomes "H". This is the up call signal 1
becomes "L", the output of the OR gate 13 of the first machine becomes "H", the memory 15 is reset, and the
The assignment of the machine is canceled and the assigned light 18 is turned off. Furthermore, the full-occupancy light 19 is turned on for a certain period of time after the allocation is cancelled. In other words, the assigned basket becomes full midway through,
When another car stops at this floor before this car passes through the assigned floor, the hall call is canceled, the assignment of the assigned car is canceled, and the assigned light 18 is turned off.

なお、他の階、他号機および乗場下り呼びにつ
いても同様に説明し得ることは明白である。 Note that it is clear that the same explanation can be applied to calls for other floors, other cars, and down-hall calls.

できる。 As explained above, in this invention, even if the cars assigned to the calls registered at the landing on a floor are full, the lights assigned to the landing are kept lit, and the lights are turned off when passing through the floor. Therefore, the number of lighting changes of the assigned light can be kept to the minimum number of times, ie, once, and confusion among waiting customers can be prevented.

運転効率をも向上できる。 Additionally, when the assigned car is full, if a car other than this car stops at the floor before the full car passes the floor, the hall call is canceled and the assigned light is turned off. , without needlessly stopping when the assigned basket is no longer full midway through.
Operation efficiency can also be improved.

また、割当灯を消灯するときは満員灯を点灯す
