Abstract:
It is an object of the present invention to provide a control apparatus for a one-shaft multi-car system elevator in which a plurality of cars operate in one shaft, the control device being capable of efficient group control while avoiding collisions and minimizing the occurrence of confinement of passengers. The control apparatus includes approaching direction traveling prohibiting means 1D for prohibiting the cars from traveling in a direction in which the cars approach each other in the same shaft, and door open standing-by means 1E for causing the car to stand by with its doors open if the car is prohibited by the approaching direction traveling prohibiting means from traveling and if any passenger is present in the car.
Abstract:
An elevator group control apparatus is provided that collectively controls an elevator system where a plurality of cars can travel in each shaft independently of each other. It has a destination floor registration device which is installed at each hall to allow passengers to register destination floors and indicate to passengers which cars will serve respectively for the reregistered destination floors. It further comprises; zone setting means for setting priority zones and a shared zone to the upper cars and the lower cars; entrance judgment means for judging whether the shared zone set by the zone setting means is allowed to be entered by an upper or lower car; safety standby means for putting the car on standby based on the judgment result of the entrance judgment means; withdrawal means for withdrawing a car to a withdrawal floor as necessary after a service is completed by the car; assignment candidate selecting means for selecting a car as a candidate for assignment to a destination call generated at a hall if it is judged, according to the destination to be served by each car and the zones set to each car, that the car would cause neither collision nor safety stop; and assignment means for finally determining which car to assign based on the selection result of the assignment candidate selecting means.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for controlling an elevator system comprising at least one shaft (12,14) and several elevator cars. At least two elevator cars can travel upwards and downwards along a common travel path in a separate manner and a passenger can input a destination request by means of an input unit (77). The destination request is allocated to an elevator car according to an evaluation of said allocation. The aim of the invention is to develop the above method in such a way that transport capacity can be increased, causing minimum reciprocal disruption to the elevator cars travelling along a common travel path. According to the invention, when a destination request is allocated to one of the elevator cars (21,22) traveling along the common travel path, the section of the travel path section required to serve the travel request is allocated to said elevator car and allocation of the other elevator car is blocked during said period.
Abstract in simplified Chinese:本发明系有关于一种用于控制至少具有一个升降井及多个车厢之升降梯设备,系能使至少两个车厢沿一共同运行路径分别的上升与下降运行,且乘客可藉一配置在升降井外侧之输入单元送入一目的楼呼召,而此目的楼呼召是依据分配评估而分配至一车厢。按照此方式发展之方法使其运输容量增加,并使能沿一共同运行路径作运行之诸车厢尽可能的少有互相的阻碍。根据本发明,可在目的楼呼召分配至能沿一共同运行轨道作运行之诸车厢之一之事例中,为应答目的楼呼召所需之运行路径部份是指配至此车厢,并在此时段内阻断对其他车厢之指配。此外一种运行此方法之升降梯设备亦被提出。
