Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a device for registering elevator hall calls.

BACKGROUND ART Conventionally, in order to cause an elevator to operate in a specific manner, an operation to prohibit hall call registration for a predetermined floor may be performed.

An example of this is the prohibition of registration of hall calls on underground floors during dispatch, on floors with service separation at specific times, and the like.

The first example is when an extremely large number of passengers ascend from the main floor during dispatch, and in order to increase the overall efficiency of the elevator, prohibition of hall call registration for downbound hall calls on the basement floor and the main floor is prohibited. Moreover, it also prohibits car call registration on the basement floor.

In other words, the idea is to encourage passengers on the basement floor to use the stairs, escalators, etc., thereby improving the service on the main floor.

The second example is when a department store is closed during certain fixed periods such as nights or holidays, but the restaurant floor on the upper floor is open. The idea is to prohibit the registration of hall calls and car calls at department stores, to make the floors where department store operations are closed a service-separated floor, and to use elevators exclusively for the restaurant floors.

In the above example, even if a waiting passenger has already registered a hall call and is waiting for a floor where hall call registration was prohibited, the hall call will be canceled and the car will no longer be serviced. It disappears.

Therefore, for the passengers who were waiting there, the hall call is canceled and their waiting time is wasted, and the elevator users express their dissatisfaction.

Also, since the call is suddenly canceled and the car is not serviced, it can easily be mistaken for a malfunction.

This invention is intended to improve the above-mentioned problem, and by performing a preparatory operation before starting a specific operation, even customers waiting on a floor where the car does not respond can once receive response service. The purpose is to provide a registration device.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2.

In Figure 1, 1 to 3 are the landing entrances and exits on the 1st floor of Units 1 to 3, respectively, and 4 and 5 are the entrances and exits on the 1st floor that are installed on the wall between the entrances and exits 1 to 3 to register common landing calls for Units 1 to 3. Similarly, 6 and 7 are the down hall call buttons on the first floor.

In Figure 2, 10 and - are the DC power supplies, 11 is the first floor descending hall call registration relay, 11a is its normally open contact, 11b is also the normally closed contact, and 12a to 12c are the terminals 1 to 3 are connected to the first floor. 1st floor car position relay contact (contact 12a) that opens when
corresponds to the first machine, the contact 12b corresponds to the second machine, and the contact 12c corresponds to the third machine.

The same applies to the contacts for each machine below.

), 13a, 13aa to 13c are stop state relay contacts that are opened when Units 1 to 3 are stopped, respectively; 14
a to 14c are the downward direction relay contacts that open when Units 1 to 3 are operating in the downward direction, 15 is the 1st basement floor car call button provided in the car of Unit 1, and 16 is the 1st basement floor car call of Unit 1. In the registered relay, 16a is its normally open contact, 17
18 is a clock contact that closes when it is dispatch time, 19 is a specific operation command relay, 19a is its normally open contact, 19b, 19c is also a normally closed contact, 20a~
Reference numeral 20c denotes a hall call registration disabled indicator light, which is provided above the entrances and exits 1 to 3 on the first floor of cars 1 to 3, respectively, and indicates that registration of a hall call is no longer possible.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be explained.

In a specific operation state, for example, when dispatching, the clock contact 18 closes, and the specific operation command relay 19 is energized and contacts 19a
is closed, and contacts 19b and 19c are opened.

If the down hall call button 6 or 7 has already been pressed in the first floor landing, the down hall call registration relay 11 is energized and self-maintained by closing the contact 11a.

Therefore, even if the contact point 19b is opened, the first floor down hall call is still held.

When, for example, the second car responds to this first floor down call, contacts 12b, 13b, and 14b all open, the first floor down hall call registration relay 11 is deenergized, and the hall call is canceled.

At this time, since the specific operation command relay 19 has already been energized, the contact 19b remains open.

Therefore, even if the first floor down hall call button 6 or 7 is pressed again in the future, the first floor down hall call registration relay 11 will not be activated.

In other words, registration of the first floor down hall call is prohibited.

At the same time, +-19a-11b-20a, 20 b.

20C-←) circuit causes the hall call registration not possible indicator light 20
A to 20c are lit to display, for example, "Do not go downhill".

On the other hand, when the specific operation command relay 19 is energized, if there is no 1st floor down hall call, that is, if the relay 11 is de-energized, the contact 19b is open, so the down hall call button 6 Or, even if you press 7, you will no longer be able to register a 1st floor down hall call.

The same can be said about the car calls on the first basement floor of Unit 1.

When the specific operating state is reached, the contact 19c is also opened.

At this time, if the car call on the first basement floor of Unit 1 has already been registered through the car call button 15, and the first basement floor car call registration relay 16 is energized and held by closing the contact 16a, then The car call is held and the car; answers it.

However, if the registration relay 16 is de-energized when the contact 19c opens, even if the car call button 15 is pressed again,
Car calls on the first basement floor of Unit 1 cannot be registered.

When a specific driving state, for example, driving at work, is completed, the clock contact 18 is opened, so the relay 19 is deenergized and the contact 19 is closed.
b and 19c are both closed.

Therefore, the 1st floor descending hall call as usual, Unit 1 basement 1
Floor car calls are registered.

In addition, since the contact 19a is open, the indicator lights 20a to 20
c is all turned off.

In this way, there are passengers who are waiting for a car to arrive at a hall call that has already been registered, and passengers who are waiting to call for a car that has already been registered, thinking that the car will stop, but the call is suddenly cancelled. This eliminates the problem of being unable to receive services.

That is, if the service is not available, it can be known at the time of registration.

The above example is a case of dispatch using only a watch, but
The service floor has been separated and can be used for clocking out of work, lunch, gatherings and hall services, etc.

The conditions for determining the transition to a specific operating state as mentioned above include not only automatic opening and closing by the clock, but also manual switches, the number of passengers in the car, the presence or absence of car calls, the number of car calls, and the presence or absence of hall calls. , the number of hall calls, the waiting time for hall calls, the expected waiting time for hall calls, the command signal from the building management computer, the number of passengers waiting at the hall input from the number detection device using mud switches, photocell devices, etc. The following information can be used alone or in combination.

For example, information such as a clock and manual switch, a clock and the number of passengers in the car can be used to determine the value directly or after calculation with various predetermined values, or various data can be determined using accumulated data from the past. It would be even more desirable if the determination was made after the calculation so that the transition to the specific operating state could be made more smoothly.

In addition, when hall call registration prohibition is performed, as a means to display in the hall or car that this operation is being performed, the illumination intensity between the outside of the indicator lights 20a to 20c shown in the embodiment and between the lights inside the hall is changed. .

Examples include providing audio guidance and turning off all car position indicators.

Furthermore, these devices may be operated immediately after the specific operation is activated, or after the already registered calls have been serviced.

Furthermore, some group control elevators are equipped with an advance notice device that notifies the hall of a car that will respond to a hall call before the car decides to stop at that hall.

When the above-mentioned hall call registration prohibition operation is performed in such an elevator, if there is already a hall call, the notification device for the appropriate car is activated to service the car, and then the hall call registration prohibition state is maintained. You can also do it like this.

Additionally, even if there is already a hall call and the advance warning device is operating, once that hall is served, the hall call is canceled, and the advance notice device also stops operating, the hall call registration prohibited state will be maintained. It can also be made to increase.

Further, the embodiment has shown that registration of hall calls on some floors or in one direction is prohibited.

However, when a car is forcibly called to a specific landing, the above-mentioned prohibition of landing call registration can be performed for subsequent landing calls on all floors or in both directions.

As explained above, in this invention, when a specific operation command is issued, a preparatory operation is carried out to prohibit the registration of new hall calls for a predetermined floor, and to maintain the already registered hall calls for a predetermined floor. Since this is released when the car responds to the hall call, elevator service is also provided to customers waiting on a specific floor, reducing discomfort and dissatisfaction when switching to a specific operation. .
