Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial Field of Application] The present invention relates to an operating system for a parallel elevator, and more particularly to an operating system for a parallel elevator having different floors.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, parallel elevators that service multiple floors have been used.Normally, the floors serviced by two elevators are often the same, but for example, if there is a parking lot underground or a storage room on the rooftop, Only certain elevators service underground floors or rooftop floors (hereinafter referred to as 1).
(referred to as "staggered service operation").

In a parallel elevator that has such a different floor service operation, if a user intending to use a different floor gets into an elevator that does not have a different floor service operation, the destination floor,
In other words, it becomes necessary to transfer to an elevator that operates a different level service on the floor before the different level stairs.

Also, on the transfer floor, the boarding hall call was recorded again,
There is the inconvenience of having to wait for an elevator that performs a different level service operation.

Hereinafter, an example of a state diagram of a conventional parallel elevator in which service floors are different and where only a specific car can be serviced is called an uneven floor, and a floor where all cars can be serviced is called a common floor. Shown in Figure 2.

In this Figure 2, 1.2 represents the service classification of the elevators of No. 1 and No. 2, respectively, 3 is the call button for each floor's landing (with illustrations for upward and downward directions), and 4 is for different floors. 5 is the front side call for the common floor.

In the conventional parallel elevator operation system configured as described above, for example, suppose that a passenger on the third floor wants to go to the first basement floor and presses the hall call button in the descending direction of the third floor. At this time, if the second machine is assigned, there is no problem, but if the first machine is assigned, an inconvenience occurs. In other words, at this time, passengers on the 3rd floor board the assigned No. 1 car, go to the 1st floor, register the landing call again on the 1st floor, and either transfer to No. 2 car or take the stairs from the 1st floor to the 1st basement floor. You have no choice but to go to the 3rd floor without boarding the first train, or register the hall call again on the 3rd floor and wait for the second train to be assigned. It was inconvenient and the service was poor.

To deal with this problem, for example, as shown in Japanese Patent Application Laid-open No. 58-157679, when a passenger whose destination floor is the above-mentioned different floors gets into an elevator that does not provide different-level service, the operation panel inside the car is displayed. Provided with a button to use different stairs,
At the same time as the button is operated, the boarding hall call for the transfer floor is registered in advance, thereby reducing the waiting time at one transfer floor.

However, even in this case, passengers must change elevators to go to one destination floor. Furthermore, even if you register for a transfer floor call in advance, the waiting time will not be eliminated.

In this way, in the past, when there was a different level service, if a passenger could not get on the elevator that operated the different level service, the service for passengers would be extremely poor.

Therefore, in order to solve this problem, for example,
An elevator control device disclosed in Japanese Patent No. 254476 was proposed. For this purpose, a push button for use of different floors will be installed at the landing of the elevator that services the different floors.
When this button is operated, a call is registered only for elevators that provide different level service.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

By the way, in the elevator control device according to the prior art described above, a specific selection switch must be provided in order to call the elevator that serves the different floors, which complicates the circuit configuration and increases the cost. There are drawbacks. In addition, if such a device is installed in an existing elevator that is not equipped with such a device, it will require significant modification, and this modification will only prolong the suspension period of the elevator and cause a great deal of inconvenience to users. It has drawbacks such as requiring a large amount of modification costs.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned circumstances, and its purpose is to enable an elevator that services a different floor to be installed on that floor with a simple configuration, and in particular, to An object of the present invention is to provide an elevator operating device that allows the elevator to be easily remodeled.

[Means to solve the problem]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention is provided with an allocation means for allocating a corresponding elevator to a front call for a stairway with different steps.

[Effect]

In this invention, among the hall calls of parallel elevators that provide a different level service, calls for the front side of the different floor are assigned only to elevators that provide a one level different service. As a result, passengers whose destination floor is on a different floor can go to their destination floor without having to change trains simply by pressing the hall call button in the direction of the different floor.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of a parallel elevator operating system according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

1 and 2 are explanatory diagrams showing one embodiment of a parallel elevator operating device of the present invention, and FIG. 1 is a flowchart showing the procedure of the part related to the present invention of the parallel elevator call assignment control program, FIG. 2 is a state diagram of parallel elevators operating in different level service for explaining the present invention.

In addition, in Figure 2 (Case 1) a passenger on the 3rd floor is
When a passenger on the 3rd floor tries to go to the 5th floor and registers a descending hall call for the 3rd floor, and (case 2) when a passenger on the 3rd floor tries to go to the 5th floor and registers a 3rd floor ascending hall call, the Each step in Figure 1 will be explained.

First, in case 1, when a passenger on the third floor operates the hall call button in the descending direction, the hall call in the descending direction is registered and the program shown in FIG. 1 starts. First, that registered call.

Determine whether you are facing the direction of the different stairs (Step 5)
11). Here, the registered call is a call in the descending direction of the third floor, so as is clear from FIG. 2, it is a call pointing in the direction of a different floor (in this case, the first basement floor). Therefore, the type of call is determined to be a positive call for the floor that is one step different (step 512). Furthermore, the service area of this call is determined to include uneven floors (
Hand 111fiS13) - The assignment of this call to an elevator is a different service elevator, i.e. a different floor (
There is a service elevator on the first basement floor (basement 1st floor), that is, a different floor (
It is assigned to elevator No. 2, which is an elevator capable of underground IWi) service (step 514). After that, the program goes to return, so this program ends and the No. 2 machine responds to 31'l and stops. The above is Sll- in Fig. 1.
The flow of S17 has been explained.

Next, in case 2, Sll, 315 in FIG.
The flow from ~S17 will be explained. When a passenger on the third floor operates the hall call button for the upward direction, the program starts by registering the upward direction call. ) is determined to be a call that is not facing the direction (Step 511)
. Therefore, the type of call is determined to be a front call for the common floor (step 515). Further, it is determined that the service area of this call is only the common floor (step 516), and the assignment of this call to the elevator is to the common service elevators, that is, elevators 1 and 2 that can service the common floor. The most suitable elevator is selected and assigned (step 517). after that,
This program ends as it proceeds to return. The flow of steps Sll, 515 to S17 in FIG. 1 has been described above.

As explained above, in this invention, among hall calls for parallel elevators that perform different-level service, calls on the front side for different floors can be registered only in the different-level service elevator; The side call allows the call to be registered to the most suitable common service elevator.

It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments, but can be implemented with various changes without changing the spirit thereof.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained below, in this invention, among the hall call buttons for each floor of the parallel elevators that perform the different-level service operation, by pressing the front call button for the different floor, the elevator that performs the different-level service operation can be called. . Therefore, passengers whose destination floors are on different floors can go to their destination floors without changing trains, and service can be improved.
