In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, a case will be described in which three elevators are installed in a building with 10 floors, and a machine room of the elevator is installed at the upper part of the 10th floor.

The control device 1 in the elevator machine room comprises a group management control device 2 and three unit control devices 3. The group management control device 2 controls the operation of all three elevators, and transports passengers efficiently. In consideration of the position of the elevator, the traveling direction, the state of the car call, the degree of congestion in the car, and the like, the hall call newly generated from the hall call button 7 on each floor is transmitted to the hall call button 7 on each floor. Assigned to one of the elevators, and sends a reserved light signal or an assigned signal to the car controller 3. The unit control device 3 performs elevator traveling control and door opening / closing control, and outputs the load in the car (ratio to the rated load in the car) from the load detection device 6 to the group management control device 2. The hall lantern 8 is controlled to be turned on by a reservation light signal, and a hall guidance device including a display 9 and a voice guidance device 10 for displaying an operation schedule such as a destination floor, a car position, and the like is controlled. Information about the operation plan and car position will be provided to the waiting passengers at the landing.

A car call button 5 is provided in the car 4, and the passenger operates the car call button 5 to designate a destination floor. The signal of the car call button 5 is input to the car controller 3. There is a load detector 6 at the bottom of the car,

Like the landing guide devices 8 to 10, a signal can be input / output to / from the group management control device 2 via the car control device 3. In some cases, a call for a wheelchair-only hall, a call for a trolley, or a hall call for an underground parking lot may be installed on the same floor. The feature of the present invention resides in that a signal input from the hall call button 7 is stored as order data in the hall call storage unit 2-4 in the group management control device 2, and the registration order is displayed on the display 9 at the landing. is there. In the present embodiment, the registration order of hall calls is displayed on the display 9 of the hall, but the voice guidance device 1
Notification with 0 is also possible.

FIG. 2 shows a group management control unit hall call storage unit 2.
4 shows a hall call storage table in -4.

In FIG. 2, the hall call storage table has (total floor number-1) × 2 sequential data storage spaces. The order data storage space is allocated to each hall call, starting from the address having the smallest address, ascending the lowest floor, descending and ascending the middle floor, and descending the top floor. When a hall call occurs, the group management control device 2
Is sent to the group management control device 2, the floor on which the hall call has occurred is determined, and the order data is stored in the storage space corresponding to the floor in the hall call storage table.
The name of the hall call is “D” for the descending direction, “U” for the ascending direction, and “2D” indicates the hall call for the descending direction on the second floor.

FIG. 3 is a flowchart for explaining processing in the group management control device 2 when a hall call occurs.

The signal from the hall call button 7 is sent to the assignment change unit 2-1 and the assignment unit 2-2 in the group management control device 2, and the position of the elevator, the traveling direction, the car call status, the car After the car is assigned in consideration of the information such as the degree of congestion in the hall, the hall call is stored in the hall call storage table as order data in the hall call storage unit 2-4. The order data is sent to the display change unit 2-3, and the registration order is displayed on the hall displays 9 on each floor.

In FIG. 3, it is determined in step s310 whether there is already a hall call. Step s310
In step s320, if it is determined that there is already a hall call, a value obtained by adding "1" to the hall call storage table corresponding to the hall call floor in FIG. input. If it is determined in step s310 that there is no hall call, that is, if the order of hall calls is first, “1” is input to the hall call storage table in step s330. In the above steps, the order of the new hall calls is determined, and the new order is stored in the hall call storage table. In step s340, the order data in the hall call storage table is transmitted to the display change unit 2-3.

FIG. 4 is a flowchart for explaining processing in the group management control device 2 when the car arrives at the called floor. When the car arrives at the destination floor, the car controller 3
Sends a signal of arrival completion to the hall call storage unit 2-4 of the group management control device 2 to update the order data. The updated data is sent to the display change unit 2-3.

In FIG. 4, at step s410, it is determined whether the order data of each floor is larger than the order data of the hall call storage table corresponding to the car arrival floor. If it is determined in step s410 that the order is larger, the order is after the order of registration of the arrival floor, and “1” is subtracted from the order data in step s420. When the car arrives, the hall call on that floor disappears, and the order of arrival floor becomes blank. In order to fill in the blank in that order, in the above-described step, an operation of reducing the order of hall calls registered after the arrival floor by one is performed. Step s4
At 30, the order data corresponding to the arrival floor is set to “0”, and it is assumed that there is no hall call. In step s440, the order data in the hall call storage table is transmitted to the display change unit 2-3.

FIG. 5 shows a display change section 2 of the group management control device 2.
6 is a flowchart of a process in No. 3;

In FIG. 5, in step s510, it is determined whether or not the order data sent from the hall call storage unit 2-4 is "0" for each floor, and the presence or absence of a hall call is determined. When the order data is “0” in s510,
In step s520, the order data is not displayed on the hall display 9. If the order data is other than "0" in step s510, the order data is displayed. In step s530, it is determined whether there is a bidirectional "up" or "down" hall call on the same floor. The step s
If it is determined at 530 that there is a bidirectional hall call, the data of “up” and “down” in the hall call storage table are alternately displayed on the hall display 9 at step s540. In step s530, if there is no bidirectional hall call of “up” or “down” on the same floor, that is, if it is one hall call of “up” or “down”, the order data is displayed in step s550. 9 is displayed. In the present embodiment, when a hall call in both directions of ascending and descending occurs on the same floor, the order data is alternately displayed on the hall display 9, but the display method may be changed depending on the form of the hall guidance device. It is possible.

Referring to FIG. 6, a description will be given of a display on the hall display 9 when a car arrives from the third floor to the fourth floor by an elevator that services the tenth floor and intends to service a floor further higher.

When the car stops at the third floor, the sixth floor (upward direction), the fourth floor (upward direction), the fifth floor (downward direction), the fourth floor (downward direction), the first floor (upward direction), the ninth floor (downward) Direction) and the hall call is generated in the order of the 8th floor (downward direction), and the order is displayed on the display 9 of the floor where the hall call is generated. On the fourth floor, a bidirectional hall call of ascending and descending is generated, so that the display is alternately displayed on the display 9.

When the car arrives at the fourth floor, the second hall call is lost, so that the order of registration of hall calls after the second hall is reduced by one, and the updated display is displayed on each landing display 9.

The order display of the landing display 9 on the fourth floor in the ascending direction is turned off.

Since a hall call in the descending direction has occurred on the second floor, "7" obtained by adding 1 to the maximum order "6" at that time is input to the hall call storage table 2-4.

A "seventh" display is displayed on the landing display 9 on the second floor.

According to the present embodiment, it is possible to know the position of the elevator user pressing the hall call button on all floors. The hall call registration order is also a rough guide to the waiting time, and by notifying the waiting passengers of the waiting time using the hall guidance device, the psychological service for the waiting time until arrival at the elevator is improved.
