Description
本發明係關於一種電梯系統，特別是一種具有載客判斷機制的電梯系統。The present invention relates to an elevator system, and more particularly to an elevator system having a passenger determination mechanism.
一般來說，商辦大樓、百貨公司或是大型賣場等，均設置有電梯以供乘客搭乘。電梯依據其所具有的規格，而有承載重量上的限制。例如，較大型的電梯可乘載的重量上限為1000公斤，而較小型的電梯可乘載的重量上限為650公斤。傳統上，當實際乘客的總重量達到所述可乘載的重量上限時，電梯僅會直達電梯內部乘客所指定欲前往之樓層，而不會停靠其他樓層去搭載更多的乘客。反之，實際乘客的總重量尚未達到所述可乘載的重量上限時，電梯便會停靠其他樓層去搭載更多的乘客。Generally speaking, commercial buildings, department stores or large stores are equipped with elevators for passengers to board. The elevator has a load-bearing limit depending on the specifications it has. For example, a larger elevator can carry a maximum weight of 1000 kg, while a smaller elevator can carry a maximum weight of 650 kg. Traditionally, when the total weight of the actual passenger reaches the upper limit of the rideable weight, the elevator will only go directly to the floor designated by the passenger inside the elevator, and will not stop at other floors to carry more passengers. Conversely, when the total weight of the actual passenger has not reached the upper limit of the weight that can be carried, the elevator will stop at other floors to carry more passengers.
然而，當實際乘客的總重量係為接近可乘載的重量上限時，電梯僅能再乘載少數的乘客，但位於樓層等待搭乘電梯的乘客數量過多，使得電梯無法容納該樓層的所有乘客。如此一來，當電梯到達該樓層時，乘客們不知是否要搭乘該電梯，或是應該禮讓其他人先搭乘，而造成尷尬的情況，且在這個情形下，勢必要再派遣另一電梯去搭載剩餘的乘客，而造成乘客的時間與電梯運轉能源的浪費。再者，當電梯內搭載有大型物品時，例如腳踏車、嬰兒車或輪椅等，由於電梯內部空間已被佔滿，即使實際乘客的總重量尚未達到可乘載的重量上限，其他樓層之乘客亦無法進入電梯。此時，電梯若是仍停靠外部欲搭乘電梯的乘客所在之樓層，同樣會造成乘客們時間上的浪費，以及電梯運轉上的能源浪費。However, when the actual passenger's total weight is close to the upper limit of the rideable weight, the elevator can only carry a small number of passengers, but the number of passengers on the floor waiting to take the elevator is too large, so that the elevator cannot accommodate all the passengers on the floor. As a result, when the elevator arrives at the floor, the passengers do not know whether to take the elevator, or should be polite to other people to board first, causing embarrassing circumstances, and in this case, it is necessary to send another elevator to carry The remaining passengers cause a waste of passenger time and energy in the elevator. Furthermore, when there are large items in the elevator, such as bicycles, strollers or wheelchairs, the passengers on the other floors are also occupied, even though the total weight of the actual passengers has not yet reached the upper limit of the weight that can be carried. Unable to enter the elevator. At this time, if the elevator is still on the floor of the passenger who wants to take the elevator outside, it will also cause waste of time for the passengers and waste of energy in the operation of the elevator.
本發明提出一種具有載客判斷機制的電梯系統，藉由判斷一樓層中欲搭乘電梯的乘客的數量，以及當下電梯的負載重量，以決定是否停靠該樓層。藉此，可以減少時間與能源的浪費。The present invention proposes an elevator system having a passenger judgment mechanism for determining whether to dock the floor by determining the number of passengers who want to take the elevator on one floor and the load weight of the current elevator. Thereby, time and energy waste can be reduced.
依據本發明之一實施例提出一種具有載客判斷機制的電梯系統，包含電梯廂、重量感測模組、第一攝影模組、監控主機與控制模組。重量感測模組連接電梯廂，且用以偵測電梯廂的負載重量值。第一攝影模組用以拍攝一樓層的電梯等待區域，以產生樓層影像。監控主機電性連接第一攝影模組，且用以依據樓層影像判斷電梯等待區域的乘客資訊，據以產生判斷值。控制模組電性連接重量感測模組、電梯廂與監控主機。控制模組儲存有第一門檻值。控制模組用以依據負載重量值、第一門檻值與判斷值，判斷是否控制電梯廂停靠所述的樓層。。According to an embodiment of the present invention, an elevator system having a passenger determination mechanism includes an elevator car, a weight sensing module, a first photography module, a monitoring host, and a control module. The weight sensing module is connected to the elevator car and is used for detecting the load weight value of the elevator car. The first photography module is used to capture an elevator waiting area of a floor to generate a floor image. The monitoring host is electrically connected to the first photographic module, and is configured to determine passenger information of the waiting area of the elevator according to the floor image, thereby generating a judgment value. The control module is electrically connected to the weight sensing module, the elevator car and the monitoring host. The control module stores a first threshold value. The control module is configured to determine whether to control the elevator car to stop at the floor according to the load weight value, the first threshold value and the judgment value. .
綜合以上所述，本發明的具有載客判斷機制的電梯系統係藉由偵測取得電梯廂當下的負載重量值，且藉由第一攝影模組的拍攝而產生的樓層影像，進而預估一樓層的等待區域的乘客的判斷值(例如乘客總重量)，控制模組再進一步依據電梯系統的第一門檻值、負載重量值以及判斷值，而判斷是否要將電梯廂停靠於該樓層。藉此，可以減少乘客的時間浪費以及電梯系統運作時的能源消耗。In summary, the elevator system with the passenger determination mechanism of the present invention estimates the first floor image by detecting the current load weight value of the elevator car and shooting by the first photography module. The judgment value of the passenger in the waiting area of the floor (for example, the total weight of the passenger), the control module further determines whether the elevator car is to be parked on the floor according to the first threshold value of the elevator system, the load weight value, and the judgment value. Thereby, the time waste of the passengers and the energy consumption of the elevator system during operation can be reduced.

請參照圖1，圖1係依據本發明之一實施例所繪示的具有載客判斷機制的電梯系統的功能方塊圖。電梯系統1係是適用於一般大樓，例如商辦大樓或住宅大樓等。如圖1所示，電梯系統1包含重量感測模組10、第一攝影模組12與控制模組14、電梯廂18與監控主機16。重量感測模組10連接電梯系統1的電梯廂18。重量感測模組10用以偵測電梯廂18的負載重量值。於一個例子中，所述的負載重量值係為電梯廂18內所搭載之乘客的總重量。第一攝影模組12係設置於一個樓層的電梯等待區域，例如電梯口附近的區域。第一攝影模組12用以拍攝所述樓層的電梯等待區域而產生所述樓層的影像。監控主機16電性連接第一攝影模組12，且用以依據所述樓層的影像，判斷電梯等待區域的乘客資訊，據以產生一判斷值。具體來說，第一攝影模組12可以透過其攝影功能，而獲取所述樓層的影像，且將所述樓層的影像傳送至監控主機16。監控主機16再依據所述樓層的影像，判斷電梯等待區域的乘客資訊，以產生判斷值。於實務上，乘客資訊例如是電梯等待區域的乘客數量，或是乘客所攜帶之物件的數量或尺寸大小，物件例如是行李箱、嬰兒車、清潔車或病床等。於一實施例中，第一攝影模組12可依據乘客數量，推算出等待區域的該些乘客的總重量，而所述的總重量便是上述所說的判斷值。Please refer to FIG. 1. FIG. 1 is a functional block diagram of an elevator system having a passenger determination mechanism according to an embodiment of the present invention. The elevator system 1 is suitable for general buildings, such as commercial buildings or residential buildings. As shown in FIG. 1 , the elevator system 1 includes a weight sensing module 10 , a first camera module 12 and a control module 14 , an elevator car 18 , and a monitoring host 16 . The weight sensing module 10 is connected to the elevator car 18 of the elevator system 1. The weight sensing module 10 is configured to detect a load weight value of the elevator car 18. In one example, the load weight value is the total weight of passengers carried in the elevator car 18. The first camera module 12 is disposed in an elevator waiting area of one floor, such as an area near the elevator door. The first camera module 12 is configured to capture an elevator waiting area of the floor to generate an image of the floor. The monitoring host 16 is electrically connected to the first camera module 12, and is configured to determine passenger information of the waiting area of the elevator according to the image of the floor, thereby generating a determination value. Specifically, the first camera module 12 can acquire the image of the floor through the camera function, and transmit the image of the floor to the monitoring host 16 . The monitoring host 16 then determines the passenger information of the waiting area of the elevator according to the image of the floor to generate a judgment value. In practice, the passenger information is, for example, the number of passengers in the waiting area of the elevator, or the number or size of the articles carried by the passenger, such as a trunk, a stroller, a cleaning car or a hospital bed. In one embodiment, the first camera module 12 can calculate the total weight of the passengers in the waiting area according to the number of passengers, and the total weight is the above-mentioned determination value.
於一實施例中，判斷值係指示一個位於等待區域的乘客的一預估重量值。於實務上，推算乘客的預估重量值的方式可以是平均單一乘客的重量(例如設定為65公斤)與乘客數量的乘積。舉例來說，假設第一攝影模組12拍攝到所述樓層的等待區域的乘客人數為5人。監控主機16便依據平均單一乘客的體重假設係為65公斤，而推算出等待區域的該些乘客的預估重量值為325公斤，以作為所述的判斷值。控制模組14連接重量感測模組10、監控主機16與電梯廂18。控制模組14儲存有第一門檻值。於此實施例中，所述的第一門檻值係略小於電梯廂18所能負載的最大重量。舉例來說，假設電梯廂18所能負載的最大重量係為830公斤，則所述的第一門檻值可為800公斤。於實務上，控制模組14具有儲存單元，而所述的第一門檻值便是被儲存於儲存單元中。控制模組14用以依據負載重量值、第一門檻值與判斷值，判斷是否控制電梯廂18停靠所述的樓層。具體來說，於前述的實施例中，控制模組14係將電梯廂18當下的負載重量值與判斷值(也就是預估重量值)的總合，與第一門檻值作比較，進而判斷是否要控制電梯廂18停靠所述的樓層。In one embodiment, the determination value indicates an estimated weight value of a passenger located in the waiting area. In practice, the estimated weight of the passenger can be calculated by multiplying the average single passenger weight (for example, set to 65 kg) by the number of passengers. For example, assume that the number of passengers in the waiting area of the floor photographed by the first photography module 12 is five. The monitoring host 16 is assumed to be 65 kg based on the average single passenger's weight, and the estimated weight of the passengers in the waiting area is estimated to be 325 kg as the judgment value. The control module 14 is connected to the weight sensing module 10, the monitoring host 16 and the elevator car 18. The control module 14 stores a first threshold value. In this embodiment, the first threshold value is slightly smaller than the maximum weight that the elevator car 18 can load. For example, assuming that the maximum weight that the elevator car 18 can load is 830 kilograms, the first threshold value can be 800 kilograms. In practice, the control module 14 has a storage unit, and the first threshold value is stored in the storage unit. The control module 14 is configured to determine whether to control the elevator car 18 to stop at the floor according to the load weight value, the first threshold value and the determination value. Specifically, in the foregoing embodiment, the control module 14 compares the current load weight value of the elevator car 18 with the judgment value (that is, the estimated weight value), and compares it with the first threshold value, thereby determining Whether or not to control the elevator car 18 to stop at the floor.
於一實施例中，當控制模組14計算出負載重量值與預估重量值的總合未達到第一門檻值時，則控制模組14控制電梯廂18停靠所述樓層。在此所述之總合未達到第一門檻值，意指總合小於第一門檻值。具體來說，於此實施例中，控制模組14判斷電梯廂18當下內部的乘客的總重量再加上所述樓層之等待區域的乘客預估總重量，並不會達到第一門檻值。因此，控制模組14判斷電梯廂18仍然可以容納所述樓層的所有乘客，便控制電梯廂18停靠該樓層。相反地，於另一實施例中，當控制模組14計算出負載重量值與預估重量值的總合達到第一門檻值時，控制模組14控制電梯廂18不停靠所述樓層。在此所述之總合達到第一門檻值，意指總合大於或等於第一門檻值。具體來說，於此實施例中，控制模組14判斷電梯廂18當下內部的乘客的總重量再加上所述樓層之等待區域的乘客預估總重量，已經達到第一門檻值。因此，控制模組14判斷電梯廂18無法容納所述樓層的所有乘客，便控制電梯廂18不停靠所述樓層。In an embodiment, when the control module 14 calculates that the sum of the load weight value and the estimated weight value does not reach the first threshold, the control module 14 controls the elevator car 18 to stop at the floor. The sum of the sums described herein does not reach the first threshold, meaning that the sum is less than the first threshold. Specifically, in this embodiment, the control module 14 determines the total weight of the passengers inside the elevator car 18 plus the estimated total passenger weight of the waiting area of the floor, and does not reach the first threshold. Therefore, the control module 14 determines that the elevator car 18 can still accommodate all the passengers on the floor and controls the elevator car 18 to stop at the floor. Conversely, in another embodiment, when the control module 14 calculates that the sum of the load weight value and the estimated weight value reaches the first threshold, the control module 14 controls the elevator car 18 not to stop at the floor. The sum total here reaches the first threshold, meaning that the total is greater than or equal to the first threshold. Specifically, in this embodiment, the control module 14 determines that the total weight of the passengers inside the elevator car 18 plus the estimated total passenger weight of the waiting area of the floor has reached the first threshold. Therefore, the control module 14 determines that the elevator car 18 cannot accommodate all the passengers on the floor, and controls the elevator car 18 not to stop at the floor.
以實際的應用例子來詳細說明上述的兩個實施例。請進一步參照圖2，圖2係依據本發明之一實施例所繪示的電梯系統的操作示意圖。如圖2所示，於此實施例中，電梯系統係設置於一個具有四個樓層(1F~4F)的建築物中，所述的四個樓層分別具有電梯等待區域A1~A4，而每一樓層的電梯等待區域附近均設置有第一攝影模組121~124，用以拍攝對應樓層的電梯等待區域，而產生樓層影像。假設電梯系統1的電梯廂18係為一個小型規格的電梯，其所能搭載的重量上限為420公斤，而儲存於控制模組14中的第一門檻值假設為400公斤，其略小於重量上限。於一個例子中，如圖2所示，假設電梯廂18內部搭載了四名乘客準備下樓。當位於三樓的等待區域A3的乘客按下電梯口的按鈕時，設置於三樓的等待區域A3附近的第一攝影模組123將其所拍攝到樓層影像傳送至監控主機16。監控主機16依據所接收到的樓層影像，判斷三樓的等待區域A3的乘客資訊係為乘客數量為二，進而產生兩名乘客的預估重量值，例如為130公斤，作為判斷值傳送至控制模組14。The above two embodiments will be described in detail with practical application examples. Please refer to FIG. 2, which is a schematic diagram of the operation of the elevator system according to an embodiment of the invention. As shown in FIG. 2, in this embodiment, the elevator system is disposed in a building having four floors (1F~4F), and the four floors respectively have elevator waiting areas A1~A4, and each The first camera modules 121-124 are disposed near the elevator waiting area of the floor to capture the elevator waiting area of the corresponding floor to generate a floor image. It is assumed that the elevator car 18 of the elevator system 1 is a small-sized elevator, and the upper limit of the weight that can be carried is 420 kg, and the first threshold stored in the control module 14 is assumed to be 400 kg, which is slightly less than the upper limit of weight. . In one example, as shown in FIG. 2, it is assumed that four passengers are mounted inside the elevator car 18 to prepare for going downstairs. When the passenger in the waiting area A3 on the third floor presses the button of the elevator door, the first photographing module 123 disposed near the waiting area A3 on the third floor transmits the photographed floor image to the monitoring host 16. The monitoring host 16 determines that the passenger information of the waiting area A3 on the third floor is two passengers according to the received floor image, and then generates an estimated weight value of two passengers, for example, 130 kg, which is transmitted as a judgment value to the control. Module 14.
另一方面，電梯系統1的重量感測模組10偵測到電梯廂18內部所搭載的四名乘客的負載重量值為260公斤，且將該負載重量值傳送至控制模組14。此時，控制模組14將負載重量值(260公斤)與預估重量值(130公斤)的總合與第一門檻值(400公斤)作比較。控制模組14判斷其總合小於第一門檻值，代表電梯廂18仍可以搭載三樓的該兩名乘客，便控制電梯廂18停靠在三樓。於另一個例子中，同樣地，如圖2所示，假設電梯廂18內部搭載了四名乘客準備下樓。當位於二樓的等待區域A2的乘客按下電梯口的按鈕時，設置於二樓的等待區域A2附近的第一攝影模組122將其所拍攝到樓層影像傳送至監控主機16。監控主機16依據所接收到的樓層影像，判斷二樓的等待區域A3的乘客資訊係為乘客數量為五，進而產生五名乘客的預估重量值，例如為325公斤，作為判斷值傳送至控制模組14。On the other hand, the weight sensing module 10 of the elevator system 1 detects that the load weight of four passengers mounted inside the elevator car 18 is 260 kg, and transmits the load weight value to the control module 14. At this time, the control module 14 compares the sum of the load weight value (260 kg) and the estimated weight value (130 kg) with the first threshold value (400 kg). The control module 14 determines that the sum is smaller than the first threshold, and the elevator car 18 can still carry the two passengers on the third floor, and controls the elevator car 18 to stop on the third floor. In another example, similarly, as shown in FIG. 2, it is assumed that four passengers are mounted inside the elevator car 18 to prepare to go downstairs. When the passenger in the waiting area A2 on the second floor presses the button of the elevator door, the first photographing module 122 disposed near the waiting area A2 on the second floor transmits the photographed floor image to the monitoring host 16. The monitoring host 16 determines that the passenger information of the waiting area A3 on the second floor is five passengers based on the received floor image, and then generates an estimated weight value of five passengers, for example, 325 kg, which is transmitted as a judgment value to the control. Module 14.
於此例子中，同樣地，電梯系統1的重量感測模組10偵測到電梯廂18內部所搭載的四名乘客的負載重量值為260公斤，且將該負載重量值傳送至控制模組14。此時，控制模組14將負載重量值(260公斤)與預估重量值(325公斤)的總合與第一門檻值(400公斤)作比較。控制模組14判斷其總合大於第一門檻值，代表電梯廂18已無法搭載二樓的該五名乘客，便控制電梯廂18不停靠在二樓。在這個例子中，當控制模組14可控制電梯廂18不停靠在二樓，而是使電梯廂18直接抵達指定的樓層，例如一樓(1F) 。藉此，等待或使用電梯的乘客可以減少時間的浪費，電梯廂18也可以減少不必要之停靠，進而降低電梯運轉的能源消耗。於實務上，電梯系統1所具有的第一攝影模組的數量可取決於建築物樓層的多寡，本發明不以圖1與圖2的實施例為限。In this example, the weight sensing module 10 of the elevator system 1 detects that the load weight of four passengers carried in the interior of the elevator car 18 is 260 kg, and transmits the load weight value to the control module. 14. At this time, the control module 14 compares the sum of the load weight value (260 kg) and the estimated weight value (325 kg) with the first threshold value (400 kg). The control module 14 determines that the total is greater than the first threshold, and indicates that the five passengers on the second floor cannot be carried by the elevator car 18, and controls the elevator car 18 not to rest on the second floor. In this example, when the control module 14 can control the elevator car 18 not to rest on the second floor, the elevator car 18 directly reaches the designated floor, such as the first floor (1F). Thereby, passengers waiting or using the elevator can reduce the waste of time, and the elevator car 18 can also reduce unnecessary stops, thereby reducing the energy consumption of the elevator operation. In practice, the number of first camera modules that the elevator system 1 has may depend on the number of floors of the building, and the present invention is not limited to the embodiment of FIGS. 1 and 2.
於另一個可應用的例子中，位於二樓的等待區域A2的乘客與位於三樓的等待區域A3的乘客均按下設至於電梯口的按鈕，電梯系統1會根據前述的作動方式，不停靠二樓，而是停靠於三樓而搭載位於三樓的兩名乘客。於一實施例中，電梯系統1的更包含顯示模組22，如圖1所示。顯示模組22用以顯示電梯廂18是否停靠該樓層。於實務上，顯示模組22可以是一個顯示介面，具有一組LED指示燈。當控制模組14判斷負載重量值與預估重量值的總合達到第一門檻值而控制電梯廂18不停靠所述樓層時，所述樓層的顯示模組22會顯示LED指示燈會顯示紅色光。當所述樓層的乘客看到發出紅色光的LED指示燈，便知道電梯廂18不會停靠所述樓層。此時，所述樓層的乘客便可以選擇走樓梯到達所欲前往之樓層。當某一樓層中的電梯等待區域有許多乘客時，為了避免該樓層的乘客始終等不到電梯停靠於該樓層的情況，本發明的電梯系統1可具有一判斷機制，當電梯廂18不停靠該樓層的次數達到一個預設次數後，控制模組14便會控制電梯廂18停靠該樓層，以搭載至少部份的乘客。舉例來說，假設電梯廂18僅能搭載十個人，而位於十樓的電梯等待區域有八個人在等電梯。此時，只要電梯廂18搭載有數名的乘客(三名以上)，控制模組14就不會控制電梯廂18停靠於十樓。利用所述的判斷機制，當電梯廂18不停靠十樓的次數達到一個預設次數後，例如3次，控制模組14便會控制電梯廂18停靠於十樓，使得位於十樓的部分乘客可以有機會搭乘電梯。藉此，可以避免某些樓層的乘客遲遲無法搭乘到電梯的窘境。In another applicable example, the passengers in the waiting area A2 on the second floor and the passengers in the waiting area A3 on the third floor press the button provided to the elevator door, and the elevator system 1 does not stop according to the aforementioned operation mode. On the second floor, it was docked on the third floor and carried two passengers on the third floor. In an embodiment, the elevator system 1 further includes a display module 22, as shown in FIG. The display module 22 is used to indicate whether the elevator car 18 is docked on the floor. In practice, the display module 22 can be a display interface with a set of LED indicators. When the control module 14 determines that the sum of the load weight value and the estimated weight value reaches the first threshold and controls the elevator car 18 not to stop on the floor, the display module 22 of the floor displays the LED indicator light to display red light. . When the passenger on the floor sees the LED light that emits red light, it is known that the elevator car 18 does not stop at the floor. At this point, the passengers on the floor can choose to take the stairs to reach the floor they want to go. When there are many passengers in the elevator waiting area in a certain floor, in order to prevent the passengers on the floor from waiting for the elevator to stop at the floor, the elevator system 1 of the present invention may have a judging mechanism when the elevator car 18 does not stop. After the number of times of the floor reaches a preset number of times, the control module 14 controls the elevator car 18 to stop at the floor to carry at least part of the passengers. For example, suppose that the elevator car 18 can only carry ten people, and eight people in the elevator waiting area on the tenth floor are waiting for the elevator. At this time, as long as the elevator car 18 is equipped with a plurality of passengers (three or more), the control module 14 does not control the elevator car 18 to stop at the tenth floor. With the judging mechanism, when the number of times the elevator car 18 does not stop on the tenth floor reaches a preset number of times, for example, three times, the control module 14 controls the elevator car 18 to stop at the tenth floor, so that some passengers located on the tenth floor There is a chance to take the elevator. In this way, it is possible to avoid the delay in the passengers on certain floors from boarding the elevator.
除了第一攝影模組12之外，於一實施例中，電梯系統1更包含第二攝影模組20。第二攝影模組20係設置於電梯廂18內部，主要用以拍攝電梯廂18內部，據以產生一電梯廂內部影像。控制模組14依據所述的電梯廂內部影像，判斷電梯廂18內部的被占用空間值。於一實施例中，判斷值更可用以指示電梯等待區域的乘客的一預估占用空間值。而控制模組14更依據電梯廂18內部的被占用空間值與所述的預估占用空間值，判斷是否控制電梯廂18停靠所述樓層。於實務上，所述的被占用空間值可以係以百分比的方式呈現。舉例來說，假設電梯廂18的內部空間的已被占去大約一半的空間，則控制模組14便判斷被占用空間為50%。於一個例子中，當被占用空間值與預估占用空間值的總合達到第一預設值，例如為95%，代表電梯廂18的內部空間已經無法再容納其他乘客。此時，控制模組14控制電梯廂18不停靠該樓層。In addition to the first camera module 12, in an embodiment, the elevator system 1 further includes a second camera module 20. The second photographic module 20 is disposed inside the elevator car 18 and is mainly used for photographing the interior of the elevator car 18 to generate an interior image of the elevator car. The control module 14 determines the occupied space value inside the elevator car 18 based on the internal image of the elevator car. In one embodiment, the determination value is more useful to indicate an estimated occupancy space value for the passenger in the elevator waiting area. The control module 14 further determines whether to control the elevator car 18 to stop at the floor according to the occupied space value inside the elevator car 18 and the estimated occupied space value. In practice, the occupied space value can be presented in a percentage manner. For example, assuming that the interior space of the elevator car 18 has taken up approximately half of the space, the control module 14 determines that the occupied space is 50%. In one example, when the sum of the occupied space value and the estimated occupied space value reaches a first preset value, for example, 95%, it means that the internal space of the elevator car 18 can no longer accommodate other passengers. At this time, the control module 14 controls the elevator car 18 not to stop at the floor.
相反地，於另一個例子中，當被占用空間值與預估占用空間值的總合例如為70%，其並未達到第一預設值95%，代表電梯廂18的內部空間仍可以容納其他乘客。在這樣的情況下，若是負載重量值與判斷值所指示的預估重量值的總合尚未達到第一門檻值，則控制模組14便控制電梯廂18停靠該樓層。換言之，於此實施例中，控制模組14係不僅係考量電梯的負載重量，更考量電梯的內部空間，以決定是否停靠該樓層。於實務上，醫院大樓的電梯常常搭載有病床、輪椅或是醫療用的機台等大型物件而占去了大部分的電梯廂內部空間。當電梯廂門打開時，乘客才發現電梯廂內並無其他空間可以站立，而無法搭乘電梯。藉由本發明的第二攝影模組20，可以用來偵測該些大型物件所占用的空間，進而減少電梯不必要的停靠。Conversely, in another example, when the sum of the occupied space value and the estimated occupied space value is, for example, 70%, it does not reach the first preset value of 95%, and the internal space of the elevator car 18 can still be accommodated. Other passengers. In such a case, if the sum of the load weight value and the estimated weight value indicated by the judgment value has not reached the first threshold, the control module 14 controls the elevator car 18 to stop at the floor. In other words, in this embodiment, the control module 14 not only considers the load weight of the elevator, but also considers the internal space of the elevator to decide whether to dock the floor. In practice, elevators in hospital buildings often carry large objects such as hospital beds, wheelchairs, or medical equipment, taking up most of the interior space of the elevator car. When the elevator door was opened, the passengers found that there was no space in the elevator car to stand and could not take the elevator. The second camera module 20 of the present invention can be used to detect the space occupied by the large objects, thereby reducing unnecessary stopping of the elevator.
當人們搭乘電梯時，有時候會因為電梯內部所搭載的人或是物品的因素，而不想要進入搭乘。反而係寧可多花一點時間等待搭乘下一班電梯。舉一個例子來說，於醫院大樓中，當電梯內部有搭載醫療廢棄物時，即使電梯未達重量上限且尚有空間可以容納，大部分的人仍選擇不搭乘該班電梯，而是改等下一班電梯。舉另一個例子來說，當電梯內部所搭載的人看起來面目兇狠或是攜帶有大型寵物，一般的人會心生恐懼而選擇不搭乘該班電梯。如此一來，造成了電梯多餘的停靠。有鑑於此，於本發明的一實施例中，電梯系統1更包含廂門偵測模組24，設置於電梯廂18，廂門偵測模組24用以偵測電梯廂18的廂門開關的次數，當負載重量值的變化介於一範圍內且電梯廂18的廂門開關的次數達到第二預設值，控制模組14控制電梯廂18不停靠所述樓層，而是直接地直達內部乘客所指定之樓層。於實務上，廂門偵測模組24可以係以紅外線偵測器或是其他攝影器材來實現。而在此所述的一範圍可係為一個誤差範圍，例如1~2公斤。具體來說，當負載重量值的變化介於一特定誤差範圍內，代表負載重量沒有明顯的變化，且廂門開關次數達到第二預設值(例如2次)時，即使其他樓層的外部乘客按下電梯口的按鈕，電梯廂18仍不停靠其該些樓層，而係直達指定的樓層。When people take the elevator, they sometimes do not want to enter because of the people or items carried inside the elevator. Instead, it would rather spend more time waiting for the next elevator. As an example, in a hospital building, when there is medical waste inside the elevator, even if the elevator does not reach the upper limit of the weight and there is room for it to be accommodated, most people still choose not to take the elevator, but instead The next elevator. As another example, when the person inside the elevator looks fierce or carries a large pet, the average person will choose not to take the elevator. As a result, the elevator is redundantly docked. In view of this, in an embodiment of the present invention, the elevator system 1 further includes a door detection module 24 disposed in the elevator car 18, and the door detection module 24 is configured to detect the door switch of the elevator car 18. The number of times, when the change of the load weight value is within a range and the number of door switches of the elevator car 18 reaches a second preset value, the control module 14 controls the elevator car 18 not to stop at the floor, but directly directly The floor designated by the internal passengers. In practice, the door detection module 24 can be implemented by an infrared detector or other photographic equipment. A range described herein can be an error range, such as 1 to 2 kg. Specifically, when the change in the load weight value is within a certain error range, there is no significant change in the load weight, and the number of door switches reaches the second preset value (for example, 2 times), even if the external passengers on other floors Pressing the button on the elevator door, the elevator car 18 still does not stop on the floors, but directly to the designated floor.
以一個實際的例子來說明，請參照圖3，圖3係依據本發明之另一實施例所繪示的電梯系統1的操作示意圖。於圖3的實施例中，電梯系統1的電梯廂18係為一個小型規格的電梯，其所能搭載的重量上限為320公斤，而儲存於控制模組14中的第一門檻值假設為300公斤。如圖3所示，電梯系統1設置於一建築物中，包含了地下一樓至五樓(B1~5F) ，其分別具有等待區域A0~A5以及第一攝影模組120~125。電梯廂18搭載一名清潔人員與醫療廢棄物自五樓(5F)往下移動。此時，重量感測模組10所偵測到電梯廂18的負載重量值僅係大約為該些醫療廢棄物的重量與該名清潔人員的重量的總和，假設係為125公斤。而位於四樓的等待區域的五名乘客欲搭乘電梯。此時，設置於四樓的等待區域A4附近的第一攝影模組124將其所預估的五名乘客的總重量，例如為325公斤，作為判斷值傳送至控制模組14。控制模組14判斷負載重量值與判斷值的總和達到第一門檻值，而控制電梯廂18不停靠四樓。For a practical example, please refer to FIG. 3. FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram of the operation of the elevator system 1 according to another embodiment of the present invention. In the embodiment of FIG. 3, the elevator car 18 of the elevator system 1 is a small-sized elevator capable of carrying an upper limit of 320 kg, and the first threshold stored in the control module 14 is assumed to be 300. kg. As shown in FIG. 3, the elevator system 1 is disposed in a building, and includes a floor to a fifth floor (B1~5F), which have waiting areas A0~A5 and first photography modules 120-125, respectively. The elevator car 18 carries a cleaning staff and medical waste moving down from the fifth floor (5F). At this time, the load weight value detected by the weight sensing module 10 is only about the sum of the weight of the medical waste and the weight of the cleaning person, which is assumed to be 125 kg. The five passengers in the waiting area on the fourth floor want to take the elevator. At this time, the first photographing module 124 disposed near the waiting area A4 on the fourth floor transmits the estimated total weight of the five passengers, for example, 325 kg, to the control module 14 as a judgment value. The control module 14 determines that the sum of the load weight value and the judgment value reaches the first threshold, and controls the elevator car 18 not to stop on the fourth floor.
在這個實施例中，假設位於三樓的一名乘客(重量為65公斤)欲搭乘電梯，控制模組14依據負載重量值、判斷值以及第一門檻值，而判斷電梯廂18可以停靠三樓搭載該乘客。當電梯廂18停靠於三樓而開啟電梯廂門時，位於三樓的該名乘客發現電梯廂18內部搭載有醫療廢棄物，而選擇不進入電梯廂18中。此時，電梯廂18的電梯廂門關上後，電梯廂18的負載重量值並無太大變化，且廂門偵測模組24偵測到第一次的廂門開關。在這個情形下，進一步假設位於二樓的兩名乘客(總重量為120公斤)欲搭乘電梯，控制模組14便依據負載重量值、判斷值以及第一門檻值，而判斷電梯廂18可以停靠二樓搭載該乘客。同樣地，位於二樓的該兩名乘客發現電梯廂18內部搭載有醫療廢棄物，而選擇不進入電梯廂18中。此時，電梯廂18的負載重量值亦無太大變化，且廂門偵測模組24偵測到第二次的廂門開關，其累積的廂門開關次數已達到第二預設值(二次)。在這樣的情形下，電梯廂18的負載重量僅介於一個極小的誤差範中變化，且廂門開關次數亦已達到第二預設值，控制模組14便控制電梯廂18直達指定的樓層，也就是地下一樓，而不會停靠其他樓層，例如一樓，去搭載其他的乘客。In this embodiment, a passenger (weight 65 kg) on the third floor is required to take the elevator, and the control module 14 determines that the elevator car 18 can be docked on the third floor according to the load weight value, the judgment value, and the first threshold value. Carry the passenger. When the elevator car 18 is parked on the third floor and the elevator car door is opened, the passenger on the third floor finds that the elevator car 18 is equipped with medical waste inside, and is not selected to enter the elevator car 18. At this time, after the elevator car door of the elevator car 18 is closed, the load weight value of the elevator car 18 does not change much, and the door detection module 24 detects the first door switch. In this case, further assume that two passengers on the second floor (total weight 120 kg) want to take the elevator, the control module 14 determines that the elevator car 18 can be docked according to the load weight value, the judgment value and the first threshold value. The passenger is on the second floor. Similarly, the two passengers on the second floor found that the elevator car 18 was internally loaded with medical waste and chose not to enter the elevator car 18. At this time, the load weight value of the elevator car 18 does not change much, and the door detection module 24 detects the second door switch, and the accumulated number of door switch times has reached the second preset value ( Second). Under such circumstances, the load weight of the elevator car 18 changes only within a very small error range, and the door switch number has reached the second preset value, and the control module 14 controls the elevator car 18 to reach the designated floor. It is the next floor, and it will not stop at other floors, such as the first floor, to carry other passengers.
綜合以上所述，本發明所提出的具有載客判斷機制的電梯系統係藉由偵測取得電梯廂當下的負載重量，且藉由第一攝影模組預估一樓層的等待區域的乘客的總重量，進一步將負載重量以及所述的總重量與電梯系統的第一門檻值進行比較，而判斷是否要將電梯廂停靠於一樓層。本發明的電梯系統更可以藉由判斷電梯廂內部的被占用空間，以決定是否停靠於所述樓層。藉此，可以減少乘客的時間浪費以及電梯系統運作時的能源消耗。In summary, the elevator system with the passenger determination mechanism proposed by the present invention detects the current load weight of the elevator car by detecting the total weight of the passenger in the waiting area of the floor by the first photography module. The weight further compares the weight of the load and the total weight with the first threshold of the elevator system to determine whether the elevator car is to be parked on a floor. The elevator system of the present invention can further determine whether to stop at the floor by judging the occupied space inside the elevator car. Thereby, the time waste of the passengers and the energy consumption of the elevator system during operation can be reduced.
