专利说明:

[0001] The invention relates to a process for operating an elevator system.
[0002] GB2267362A1 describes an elevator system with several elevators and a group control. Each elevator comprises an elevator car, which is displaced by an elevator drive. In normal elevator system operation, a floor call introduced by a passenger on a call entry floor is detected by group control and assigned to an elevator. The elevator car of the designated elevator is moved by the elevator drive to the call entry floor of the floor call, so that the passenger can access the elevator car. After the passenger has accessed the elevator cabin, he introduces into the elevator cabin a cabin call to a destination floor, after which the elevator drive moves the elevator cabin to the destination floor. Group control also evaluates the traffic on each floor from floor calls and cabin calls. By the traffic assessment, an occurrence of traffic assessed on a destination floor is sub-summed, an existence or non-existence of congestion on a floor, a waiting time of a floor, a departure time of a floor, a number of passengers , who reach a floor or leave a floor, as well as the existence or not of an excessively long waiting time on a floor or an excessively long departure time on a floor. In the case of high demand on a floor, the elevator system is changed by group control to express operation and an elevator is removed from the floor call designation. The lift cabin of the lifted lift is moved by the lift drive directly to the floor in great demand, so that passengers can access the lift cabin. After passengers have accessed the elevator car, the elevator car is moved by the elevator drive, directly to a presumed destination floor. Then, it is checked whether the large demand decreases or not on the floor. In the positive case, the group control changes again from the express operation to the normal operation of the elevator system and the removed elevator is again included in the floor call designation.
[0003] The task of the invention is to further develop this process for operating an elevator system.
[0004] This task is solved by the present invention.
[0005] The invention relates to a process for operating an elevator system with at least one elevator, at least one call entry device and a call controller; being that in a call entry stage, a call is transmitted by the call input device to the call controller; in a normal operating mode of the elevator system, the transmitted call is assigned at least one elevator by the call controller, for that purpose at least one normal operating signal is transmitted by the call controller to the designated elevator; for a transmitted normal operating signal, at least one designated elevator lift cabin is activated for a trip to the call entry floor by at least one designated elevator elevator controller. In an elevator system peak time mode, at least one main operating signal is transmitted by the call controller to at least one elevator; for a main operation signal transmitted to an elevator, at least one elevator cabin of that elevator is activated for a trip between at least two floors of main operation by at least one elevator controller of that elevator.
[0006] This has the advantage that in the peak time mode of the elevator system, an elevator cabin for a main operation signal is only moved between previously defined main operation floors. This results in an economical process in terms of the passenger process between floors of main operation. The main operating floors can be freely determined, in general, the main operating floors are the floors with the highest occurrence of traffic.
[0007] Advantageous improvements of the invention are described in the embodiments.
[0008] Advantageously, at least one traffic signal is transmitted to at least one output device; the traffic signal is emitted optically and / or acoustically as at least one traffic information on the output device.
[0009] This has the advantage that the passenger is informed optically and / or acoustically about the main traffic mode of the elevator system.
[00010] Advantageously, with the traffic information it is indicated that an elevator car is ready to be accessed. Advantageously, with the traffic information it is indicated which cabins of several elevators on a main operating floor are ready to be accessed. Advantageously, with the traffic information it is indicated that an elevator cabin is in preparation to be accessed. Advantageously, with the traffic information it is indicated which elevator cabins of several elevators on a main operating floor are in preparation for access. Advantageously, with the traffic information it is indicated that an elevator car is no longer ready to be accessed. Advantageously, with the traffic information it is indicated which elevator cabins on a main operating floor are no longer ready to be accessed. Advantageously, with the traffic information it is indicated that an elevator car is not ready to be accessed. Advantageously, with the traffic information it is indicated which elevator cabins of several elevators on a main operating floor are not ready to be accessed. Advantageously, with the traffic information it is indicated that an elevator car is temporarily paralyzed. Advantageously, with the traffic information it is indicated which elevator cabins of several elevators are temporarily paralyzed. Advantageously, with the traffic information it is indicated that an elevator car is not in operation. Advantageously, with the traffic information it is indicated which elevator cabs of several elevators are not in operation.
[00011] This has the advantage that with the traffic information the passenger receives multiple information about the availability of the elevator system. An elevator cabin ready to be accessed can be accessed by a passenger through an open elevator door. An elevator cabin in preparation for access can be accessed within a few seconds by a passenger through an open elevator door. An elevator cabin, which is no longer ready to be accessed, could have been accessed a couple of seconds ago by a passenger through an open elevator door. An elevator cabin, which is not ready to be accessed, cannot currently be accessed by a passenger through an open elevator door, but it may be within a minute or two.
[00012] Advantageously, with the traffic information it is indicated in which time sequence which elevator cabins of several elevators on a main operating floor are ready to be accessed. Advantageously, with the traffic information it is indicated at what predetermined arrival time an elevator car is directed to a main operating floor. Advantageously, with the traffic information it is indicated what time difference exists for an arrival time, when an elevator cabin, when this arrival time is reached, goes to the main operating floor. Advantageously, with the traffic information it is indicated at which departure time an elevator cabin departs from a main operating floor. Advantageously, with the traffic information it is indicated what time difference exists for a departure time, when an elevator cabin, when this departure time is reached, part of the main operating floor.
[00013] This has the advantage that with the traffic information the passenger receives multiple information about the main traffic mode of the elevator system. Exactly at peak times, with congestion in front of the elevators of the elevator system, this information is important.
[00014] Advantageously, with the traffic information it is indicated with what number of passengers previously defined an elevator cabin departs from a main operating floor. Advantageously, with the traffic information, it is indicated with which previously defined payload an elevator cabin departs from a main traffic floor. Advantageously, with the traffic information it is indicated what difference in number there is for the number of passengers previously defined, when an elevator cabin, when this payload is reached, part of a main traffic floor, and if a time of predetermined departure, before reaching the previously defined number of passengers from the elevator cabin, the elevator cabin departs from the main operating floor, without reaching the previously defined number of passengers. Advantageously, with the traffic information, it is indicated with which payload an elevator car leaves from a main operating floor; and if a predetermined starting time is reached, before the previously defined payload of the elevator cabin is reached, the elevated cabin of the main operating floor. Advantageously, with the traffic information it is indicated, after reaching a predetermined time, after the detection of at least one passenger information in an elevator cabin, detected by at least one sensor, that elevator cabin starts from an operating floor main. Advantageously, with the traffic information it is indicated, after reaching a predetermined time, after the detection of at least one passenger information in an elevator cabin, detected by at least one sensor, that elevator cabin goes to a floor of main operation.
[00015] This has the advantage that the passenger receives multiple information with the traffic information about the elevator system. Thus, an elevator cabin, depending on the occurrence of traffic, may sooner or later leave a main operating floor or reach it.
[00016] Advantageously, in at least one detection area, at least one passenger information is detected by at least one sensor; and from the sensor at least one sensor signal is transmitted to the call controller, which sensor signal indicates a passenger information detected by the sensor in the detection area. The invention also relates to an elevator system for carrying out the process, after which, in a detection area, passenger information is detected by a sensor; and by the sensor a sensor signal is transmitted to the call controller, which sensor signal indicates a passenger information detected by the sensor in the detection area; the sensor being a light sensor and / or a camera and / or an ultrasound sensor and / or an infrared sensor and / or a weighing device and / or a noise level sensor and / or a transmitting device / receiver.
[00017] This has the advantage that multiple sensors can be used to detect passenger information.
[00018] Advantageously, the sensor signal is registered by the call controller in at least one count register. Advantageously, a number of passengers and / or payload present is registered in the counting register. Advantageously, using the transmitted sensor signal, a number of passengers and / or payload present is evaluated.
[00019] This has the advantage that, using passenger information, a number of passengers and / or payload present is evaluated. Thus, from a comparison of images from a camera as sensor signals, under the assumption of an average volume of a passenger, a number of passengers and / or payload present can be evaluated. Also the weight of a weighing device as a sensor signal, under the assumption of an average passenger weight, a number of passengers and / or payload present can be assessed.
[00020] Advantageously, in the counting register a number of passengers and / or payload present of at least one floor is registered. Advantageously, the counting record records a number of passengers and / or payload present from at least one elevator cabin. Advantageously, the count register records a number of passengers and / or payload present from each elevator cabin of a two-story elevator arrangement. Advantageously, in the counting register, a number of passengers and / or payload present from elevator cabs of an elevator, movable on top of each other, independently of each other, is registered in an elevator shaft. Advantageously, the count record records a number of passengers and / or payload present in the elevator system. The invention also relates to an elevator system for carrying out the process, according to which the elevator has an arrangement on two floors of elevator cabins. The invention also relates to an elevator system for carrying out the process, according to which the elevator has several elevator cabins that can be moved independently of each other, one above the other, in an elevator shaft.
[00021] This has the advantage that a counting record contains a number of passengers and / or payload present, both for areas of the elevator system, as well as for the entire elevator system. Several special elevators can also be operated with the process.
[00022] Advantageously, at least a number of passengers present can be stored in at least one computer-readable data memory, provided with at least one time stamp; a number of passengers present, stored in the computer-readable data memory, is identified by the time stamp; and at least one number of passengers present, stored in the computer-readable data memory, is loaded into the call controller, and the time stamp of the number of passengers present, stored, corresponds to a present time. Advantageously, at least one payload present can be stored in at least one computer-readable data memory, provided with at least one time stamp; a present payload, stored in the computer-readable data memory, is identified by the time stamp; and at least one present payload, stored in the computer-readable data memory, is loaded into the call controller, whose time stamp corresponds to a present time.
[00023] This has the advantage that for repeated traffic in the elevator system, detection of the number of passengers and / or payload present can be dispensed with, using a stored reference.
[00024] Advantageously, an elevator cabin, activated in the peak time mode of the elevator system, is positioned with an elevator door open on at least one main operating floor.
[00025] This has the advantage that, in peak time mode, passengers can access an elevator cabin, waiting with an elevator door open, without having to activate a call.
[00026] Advantageously, in the peak time mode of the elevator system, an elevator cabin is controlled in such a way that it arrives at a main operating floor at predetermined arrival times. Advantageously, in the peak time mode of the elevator system, an elevator cabin is controlled in such a way that it departs at predetermined start times from a main operating stage. Advantageously, in the peak time mode of the elevator system, an elevator cabin is controlled in such a way that it departs from a main operating stage at regular start times. Advantageously, in the peak time mode of the elevator system, an elevator cabin is controlled in such a way that it reaches the main operating floors in a predetermined sequence. Advantageously, in the peak time mode of the elevator system, an elevator cabin is controlled in such a way that it only goes back to one main operating floor, after having addressed at least one other main operating floor. Advantageously, in the peak time mode of the elevator system, an elevator car is controlled in such a way that it departs from a main operating stage, once at least one previously defined passenger information has been detected in the elevator car.
[00027] Advantageously, an elevator cabin controlled in the peak time mode of the elevator system, part of a main operating floor, once at least one previously defined passenger information has been detected in the elevator cabin; and, if a predetermined departure time is reached, before obtaining the previously defined passenger information from the elevator cabin, the elevator cabin departs from the main operating floor, without obtaining the previously defined passenger information. Advantageously, an elevator cabin controlled in the peak time mode of the elevator system, part of a main operating stage, once it has been reached in the elevator cabin at least a predetermined time, after the detection of at least one information of passenger in the lift cabin. Advantageously, an elevator cabin controlled in the peak time mode of the elevator system goes to a main operating floor, as soon as at least a predetermined time has been reached in the elevator cabin after the detection of at least one information passenger in the elevator cabin.
[00028] This has the advantage that, in peak time mode, the elevator system is operated in a way that favors the passenger and / or according to rules that are easy for the passenger to understand.
[00029] Advantageously, it is verified by the call controller whether a number of passengers present is greater than at least a threshold value in terms of traffic technique; and, if the number of passengers is greater than the threshold value in terms of traffic technique, the elevator system is operated in peak time mode. Advantageously, it is verified by the call controller whether a present payload is greater than at least a threshold value in terms of traffic technique; and, if the payload is greater than the threshold value in terms of traffic technique, the elevator system is operated in peak time mode. Advantageously, it is verified by the call controller whether a number of passengers present is less than or equal to at least one threshold value in terms of traffic technique; if the number of passengers present is less than or equal to the threshold value in terms of traffic technique, the elevator system is operated in the normal operating mode. Advantageously, it is verified by the call controller whether a present payload is less than or equal to at least the threshold value in terms of traffic technique; if the payload present is less than or equal to the threshold value in terms of traffic technique, the elevator system is operated in the normal operating mode.
[00030] This has the advantage that a threshold value in terms of traffic technique regulates the answering and / or non-answering of a call. When the threshold value in terms of traffic technique is exceeded, an elevator cabin is moved in an id and return service, which corresponds to the very economical peak time mode in terms of the elevator system process. Only if the threshold value in terms of process technique is not exceeded, a call is answered, which corresponds to the normal operating mode of the elevator system.
[00031] Advantageously, with the threshold value in terms of traffic technique an elevator system load limit is designated, in which a specific capacity of the system is below the number of passengers and / or payload by a factor of five, preferably three, preferably two.
[00032] This has the advantage that a threshold value in terms of traffic technique can be adjusted in a controlled and, thus, predetermined way, for a specific capacity of the system. Advantageously, the call controller checks whether a number of passengers present is less than or equal to at least one number of passengers in terms of energy technique; and, if the number of passengers present is less than or equal to the threshold value in terms of energy technique, at least one elevator is temporarily stopped by the call controller. Advantageously, by the call controller it is verified whether a present payload is less than or equal to at least one threshold value in terms of energy technique; and, if the payload present is less than or equal to the threshold value in terms of energy technique, at least one elevator is temporarily stopped by the call controller. Advantageously, with the threshold value in terms of energy technique, a load limit of the elevator system is designated, in which a specific capacity of the system is below the number of passengers and / or payload by a factor of twenty, preferably ten , preferably six. Advantageously, by the call controller it is verified whether a number of passengers present is greater than at least one threshold value in terms of energy technique; and, if the number of passengers present is greater than the threshold value in terms of energy technique, the elevator system is operated in the normal operating mode. Advantageously it is checked by the call controller whether a present payload is greater than at least one threshold value in terms of energy technique; and, if the present payload is greater than the threshold value in terms of energy technique, the elevator system is operated in the normal operating mode.
[00033] This has the advantage that a threshold value in terms of energy technique also regulates the operation of the elevator system. Exactly in the case of small traffic, the elevator system consumes a lot of energy in the standby state, and this energy consumption can be minimized in a controlled way, by meeting the number of passengers and / or the payload present in an operating mode. secondary lift system.
[00034] Advantageously, by the call controller it is verified whether a present time of the elevator system is located in at least a predetermined period of main operating time; and, if the present time of the elevator system is located in the predetermined main operating time period, the elevator system is operated in the peak time mode. Advantageously, the call controller checks whether and / or the call controller checks whether at least one elevator system peak time switch is activated; and that, if the elevator system peak time switch is activated, the elevator system is operated in peak time mode. Advantageously, by the call control it is verified if a present time of the elevator system is located in at least a predetermined period of normal operating time; and that, if the present time of the elevator system is within the predetermined normal operating time period, the elevator system is operated in the normal operating mode. Advantageously, the call controller verifies that at least one key in the normal operating mode of the elevator system is activated; and, if the elevator system normal operating mode switch is activated, the elevator system is operated in normal operating mode. Advantageously, by the call controller it is verified that at least one key Advantageously, by the call control it is checked whether a present time of the elevator system is located in at least a predetermined period of secondary operation time; and, if the present time of the elevator system is within the predetermined secondary operating time period, at least one elevator is temporarily stopped by the call controller. Advantageously, by the call control it is verified that a present time of the elevator system is located in at least a predetermined period of secondary operation time; and that, if the present time of the elevator system is within the time period of secondary operation, at least one elevator is temporarily stopped by the call controller. Advantageously, by the call control it is verified that at least one key of the secondary operating mode of the elevator system is activated; and that, if the elevator system secondary operating mode switch is activated, at least one elevator is temporarily stopped by the call controller.
[00035] This has the advantage that the switch between the normal operating mode, the peak time mode and the secondary operation mode of the elevator system can take place in a controlled way by adjusting freely selectable time periods and / or interactively, by activating keys. The keys can be part of a call controller and be operated by a building administrator.
[00036] Advantageously, in the normal operating mode of the elevator system, a call transmitted by the call input device is assigned at least one elevator by the call controller. Advantageously, at least one code is received and transmitted to the call controller; in normal operating mode, the transmitted code is associated with at least one call by the call controller; and the associated call is assigned at least one elevator by the call controller. Advantageously, in the peak time mode of the elevator system, a call transmitted by the call input device is assigned at least one elevator by the call controller. Advantageously, at least one code is received by the call input device and transmitted to the call controller; in the peak time mode of the elevator system, the transmitted code is associated with at least one call by the call controller; and the associated call is assigned at least one elevator by the call controller.
[00037] This has the advantage that both in normal operating mode and also in peak time mode, a call can be entered directly into a call input device and / or transmitted indirectly by a code.
[00038] Advantageously, in the peak time mode of the elevator system, the call and / or transmitted code is only assigned at least one elevator by the call controller, if a specific capacity of the elevator elevator system is below the number of passengers and / or payload of the elevator by a factor of five, preferably three, preferably two. Advantageously, in the peak time mode of the elevator system, the call and / or transmitted code is only assigned at least one elevator by the call controller, if the trip to answer the call takes place between at least two floors of main operation Advantageously , in the peak time mode of the elevator system, the transmitted call and / or code is only assigned at least one elevator if the call and / or transmitted code is associated with a VIP passenger profile.
[00039] This has the advantage that calls or codes can also be answered in a controlled manner by the elevator system in the main traffic mode.
[00040] Advantageously, a destination call is taken into account by the call controller; and by the call controller, the destination call is assigned at least one most favorable designation for a journey with at least one elevator cabin from an exit floor to an arrival floor, a waiting time and / or waiting time. destination as short as possible. Advantageously, the waiting time is a period between a call entry and an opening of an elevator door of the elevator car assigned to the destination call on the departure floor. Advantageously, the destination time is a period between an incoming call and an opening of an elevator door of the elevator car assigned to the destination call on the arrival floor. The invention further relates to an elevator system for carrying out the process, whereby the call controller is a destination call controller.

[00043] Advantageously, at least one traffic signal for a call is transmitted by the call controller to at least one output device, which output device is in the vicinity of the call input device, which has transmitted a code to the call controller call, and the call controller has associated at least one call to this transmitted code.
[00044] This has the advantage that the passenger receives a coupling by reaction to an activated call and / or a transmitted code, in the form of a traffic signal.
[00045] Advantageously, the transmitted traffic signal is emitted optically and / or acoustically as at least one traffic information on the output device. Advantageously, with the traffic information it is indicated that a call and / or code transmitted to the call controller is being answered by the elevator system.

[00065] Fig. 2 shows the elevators 10, 10 ', 10 "on floor S2. The elevator doors of the two external elevators 10, 10" are open and show a part of the elevator car 1, 1', the door the central 10 'elevator is closed. At least one sensor 5 of the elevator system 100 detects at least one passenger information in at least one detection area of the elevator system 100 and generates for that passenger information at least one sensor signal. Sensor 5 is a light sensor 51 and / or a camera 52 and / or an ultrasound sensor 53 and / or an infrared sensor 54 and / or a weighing device 55 and / or a noise level sensor and / or a transmitter / receiver device 57.

In the following, exemplary modalities of sensor 5 are explained by means of Figs. 2 to 5. - Light sensor 51 works according to the photoelectric effect and is, for example, a photodiode or a phototransistor. The light sensor 54 measures brightness in the range of, for example, ten lux to 150 lux, with a resolution of ± one percent. The light sensor 51, according to Figs. 2 and 3, is, for example, a light curtain to monitor an area above the threshold of the elevator door. In this area, two strips with photodiodes and phototransistors arranged laterally on the elevator door transmit and receive infrared light. As soon as a passenger passes over the threshold of the elevator door, when accessing or leaving elevator cabin 1, 1 ', the reception of transmitted infrared light is interrupted in sections and a sensor signal is generated. - Camera 52 has at least one optical lens and at least one digital image sensor. The digital image sensor is, for example, a Charged Coupled Device (CCD) sensor or a Complementary Metal oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) sensor. Camera 52 detects images in the visible light spectrum. Camera 52 can detect stationary images or moving images, with a frequency of 0 to 30 images per second. From a computer-readable data memory of camera 52, at least one computer program medium is loaded into a processor of camera 52 and executed. The computer program means controls the operation of the camera 52, stores and loads stationary images, compares stationary images with one another and as a result of the comparison can generate at least one change of signal state. Camera 52 has a resolution of, for example, two MPixel and a sensitivity of, for example, two lux. Camera 52 features a motor-driven zoom lens and can thus modify, automatically or by remote control, the focal length of the lens. In this way, objects can be detected at different distances in different detailed image sections. Camera 52 features a tripod that is powered by a motor, in order to modify, automatically or by remote control, the orientation of the lens. For example, camera 52 turns or rotates. The camera 52 is equipped with a lighting device and can thus illuminate an object to be detected, in low ambient light or in the dark. According to Figs. 2 and 3, the camera 52 is arranged in the elevator car 1, 1 'and an access or an exit of the elevator car 1, 1' is detected by a passenger as a sensor signal in the form of at least one image. - The ultrasound sensor 53 works according to the measurement of the echo operating time and uses, for example, an excited membrane. When the ultrasound waves emitted by the membrane hit an object, then they are reflected and the reflected ultrasound waves are detected. From the operating time between the emitted ultrasound waves and the reflected reflected ultrasound waves, a distance between the membrane and the object is determined. The ultrasound sensor 53 detects movements with a resolution of, for example, one millimeter. According to Figs. 2 and 3, the ultrasound sensor 53 is arranged in the vicinity of the elevator system 100 and detects a passenger in an area in front of elevator doors of elevators 10, 10 'as a sensor signal. - Infrared sensor 54 detects, without contact, thermal radiation in a temperature measurement range of, for example, -30 ° C to + 500 ° C, with a resolution of ± one percent. The infrared sensor 51 provides thermal images of the thermal radiation emitted by passengers. According to Figs. 2 and 4, the infrared sensor 54 is arranged in the vicinity of the elevator system 100 and detects a passenger in an area in front of elevator doors of the elevators 10 ', 10 ", as a sensor signal. - The weighing device 55 is, for example, a loading belt, which detects in kilograms the weight of a user standing on it. These loading belts exist in different measures. Thus, a loading belt has a base area of 0.5 meters squares and a thickness of two centimeters and detects a weight within the range of one kilogram up to 200 kilograms. According to Figs. 2 and 4, the weighing device 56 is arranged at the bottom of the elevator car 1, 1 'and detects a passenger access to or exit from the elevator cabin 1, 1 'as a sensor signal.- The noise level sensor 56 detects noise levels and intensities. Intensities are detected with a resolution of, for example, 10-3 μWm2 to 104 μWm2, the noise level is detected within a range of, po eg 30 dB to 110 dB, with a resolution of, for example, 0.1 dB. According to Figs. 2, 4 and 5, the noise level sensor 56 is a component of the call input device 4 and detects a noise from a passenger in the vicinity of the call input device 4, for example, an "Hmm" according to Figs. 4 and 5, as a sensor signal. The transmitter / receiver device 57 is, for example, a component of the call input device 4 and communicates in the radio field 42 with at least one mobile communication device 43 carried by the user. The mobile communication device 43 has at least one processor and at least one computer-readable data memory. From the computer-readable data memory, at least one computer program medium is loaded into the processor and executed. The computer program means controls the communication of the mobile communication device 43 in the radio field 42.

In this case, several modalities are possible: + In a first preferred modality, the mobile communication device is, for example, a Radio Frequency Identification (RFDI) card, with at least one coil, carried by the user. The radio frequency used by the transmitting / receiving device is, for example, 125 kHz, 13.56 MHz, 2.45 GHz, etc. The mobile communication device 43, through its coil, draws energy, inductively, from the electromagnetic field of the transmitter / receiver device 57 and, thus, is energetically activated. The energetic activation takes place automatically, as soon as the mobile communication device 43 is in the reception area of the electromagnetic field, from a few centimeters to a meter, of the transmitting / receiving device 57. As soon as the mobile communication device 43 is activated energetically, the processor of the mobile communication device 43 reads at least one code deposited in the data memory, which is transmitted through the coil to the transmitting / receiving device 57. The energetic activation of the mobile communication device 43 and the transmission of code to the device transmitter / receiver 57 occurs without contact. The transmitting / receiving device 57 detects the code as a sensor signal. + In a second preferred embodiment, the mobile communication device 43 is, for example, a mobile phone carried by the user and / or a computer, with at least one supply of electric current. For the communication of the mobile phone and / or computer in the radio field 42, local radio networks, such as Bluetooth and / or ZigBee and / or WiFi, can be used. The radio field 42 allows bidirectional communication according to communication protocols. known and proven networks, such as the Transmission Control Protocol / Internet Protocol (TCP / IP or Internet Packet Exchange (IPX). As soon as the mobile communication device 43 is in radio field 42, the processor reads a code deposited in memory data, which is transmitted to the transmitting / receiving device 57. The transmitting / receiving device 57 detects the code as a sensor signal.
[00066] In the knowledge of the invention, the sensor arrangements 5, 51 to 57, shown by way of example, naturally can be combined and / or modified at will. Thus, the camera 52 and / or the weighing device 55 can also be arranged 55 outside the elevator cabin 1, 1 ', in the area in front of an elevator 10, 10', 10 ". An ultrasound sensor 53 and / or an infrared sensor 54 can also be arranged in an elevator car 10, 10 '. Finally, also a light sensor 51 can be arranged in the area in front of an elevator 10, 10', 10 ". The sensor 5 can be placed at a greater distance, 50 or 100 meters, from the elevator 10, 10 ', 10 ", and it can thus detect a passenger when approaching the elevator cabin 10, 10', 10". Sensor 5 can have other characteristics. Thus, the noise level sensor 56 can be a microphone, which is coupled with a voice identification, so that at least one letter and / or number and / or spoken word of the passenger is identified as a sensor signal. Other sensors, not shown here, can also be used, such as a biometric fingertip sensor, which detects a passenger fingertip profile as a sensor signal or a biometric iris sensor, which detects an image of the iris of the passenger as a sensor signal.
[00067] According to fig. 6, the call controller 3 communicates with the elevator controller 2, j2 ', 2 "in the engine room S10 via at least one signal bus 31. A call input device 4 arranged on floors S1 to S9 , communicates with the call controller 3 via a signal bus 31 '. A sensor 5, arranged on the call input device 4 on a floor S1 to S9, such as a noise level sensor 56 and / or a transmitter / receiver device 57, also communicates with the call controller 3, via signal bus 31 '. A sensor 5 arranged in an elevator car 1, 1', such as a light sensor 51 and / or a camera 52 and / or a weighing device 55 communicates with the call controller 3 via a signal bus 31 ". An output device 40, arranged in the elevator car 1, 1 'as an independent unit, also communicates with the call controller 3 via the signal bus 31 ". A sensor 5, arranged in the call input device 4 of the elevator cabin 1 of the 10 "elevator, such as one such as a noise level sensor 56 and / or transmitter / receiver device 57, also communicates with the call controller 3 via the 21" signal bus. A sensor 5 , arranged on floors S1 to S9, such as an ultrasound sensor 53 and / or an infrared sensor 54, communicates with the call controller 3 via a signal bus 31 '' '. Also an output device 40 , arranged as an independent unit on floors S1 to S9, communicates with the call controller 3 via a signal bus 31 '' '. The signal bus 31, 31', 31 ", 31 '' ', can be a fixed network, such as a LON bus and / or an Ethernet network and / or an ARCNET. The signal bus 31, 31 ', 31 ", 31' '' can also be a local radio network, such as Bluetooth and / or ZigBee and / or Wi-Fi. For example, the signal bus 31 in the home of machines S10 consists of at least one electrical data cable in at least one cable compartment The signal bus 31 of the call input device 4 arranged on floors S1 to S9, with a sensor 5, such as a level sensor. noise 56 and / or a transmitter / receiver device, for example, consists of at least one electrical cable, installed under the mortar. The signal bus 31 "of the elevator cabin 1, 1 'of the elevator 10, with a sensor 5, such as a light sensor 51 and / or a camera 52 and / or a weighing device 55, as well as the elevator cabin 1 of the elevator 10 ", with a call input device 4, with a sensor 5, such as a noise level sensor 56 and / or a transmitter / receiver device 57, it consists, for example, of at least one suspended electrical cable, arranged in an elevator shaft S0, S0 ', S0 ". The signal bus 31 '' 'of sensor 5, arranged on stages S1 to S9, such as an ultrasound sensor 53 and / or an infrared sensor 54, consists, for example, of a local radio network. In the knowledge of the present invention, the technician can also perform a greater or lesser number of signal busses. For the communication of the participants, in principle, a single signal bus is sufficient.
[00068] According to Figs. 2 and 5, the call input device 4 has as input device 41 several keys, with which the passenger can manually enter a call using at least one sequence of numbers. The call entered in the call input device 4, according to Fig. 6, is transmitted on the signal bus 31 ', 31' 'to the call controller 3. The call can be a floor call or a cabin call or a destination call. However, it is also possible to make a contactless call available, by reading the code of the mobile communication device 43 carried by the passenger, by the transmitting / receiving device 57. Also the code received by the call input device 4 of the floor The call introduction is transmitted, according to Fig. 6, on the signal bus 31 ', 31 ", to the call controller 3. Call controller 3 associates with the transmitted code at least one call. For example, the call controller call 3 associates with a transmitted code a passenger profile, with the passenger profile having at least one previously defined call. The passenger profile can also display other data about the passenger. For example, the passenger profile may contain an indication if the passenger is a Very Important Person (VIP) and / or if the passenger has discrimination, such as a disability, the passenger profile may be stored in readable data memory by computer. call controller 3. The previously defined call can be loaded from the passenger profile.
[00069] In the examples of modality shown, the two elevators 10, 10 'answer destination calls, while elevator 10 "answers floor calls and cabin calls. In the knowledge of the present invention, the technician can of course also perform elevator systems , in which all elevators answer destination calls or all floor calls and cabin calls. To a floor call or destination call, an elevator 10, 10 ', 10 "is designated by call controller 3. For the call designation, at least one computer program medium is loaded from the computer-readable data memory of the call controller 3 into the processor of the call controller 3 and executed. The computer program means generates at least one normal operating signal for the call designation. According to Fig. 6, the call controller 3 transmits the normal operating signal on the signal bus 31 to the elevator control 2, 2 ', 2 "of the designated elevator 10, 10', 10". With the normal operating signal, the elevator controller 2, 2 ', 2 "of the designated elevator 10, 10', 10" is activated and the cabin 1, 1 'of the designated elevator 10, 10', 10 "is moved.
[00070] In a floor call, according to Figs. 1 and 2, an elevator cabin 1 of the designated 10 "elevator is moved to the call entry stage of the call input device 4, call input device 4 which, in which the floor call has been activated and / or the call entry device 4 that received the code, with which a floor call has been associated. After the passenger has accessed the elevator car 1, it is activated in the elevator car call 1 device of the elevator car 1 of the elevator 10 "a cabin call to a destination floor desired by the passenger and the elevator cabin 1 is moved by the elevator controller 2" to that cabin call, to that destination floor. Also, the cabin call can be received as a code by the elevator entry call 4 device 4 of elevator 10 "and transmitted to call controller 3. The call controller associates with the code received from elevator entry call 4 device of elevator 10" pe minus a cabin call and transmits the cabin call on the d bus signal 31 to the elevator controller 2 ", so that it moves the elevator cabin 1 from the elevator 10" to the destination floor, according to the call from cabin.
[00071] In a destination call, already in the call introduction, a designation of the call introduction stage and a destination floor desired by the passenger is given, so that a cabin call is no longer necessary. In this way, call control 3 already knows the destination floor at the call introduction and, therefore, can optimize not only access to the call introduction floor, but also to the destination floor.
[00072] In a normal traffic mode, call controller 3 determines for a call at least one trip from a departure floor to an arrival floor. A more favorable call designation designates a journey with at least one elevator cabin 1, 1 'from a departure floor to an arrival floor, the shortest possible wait time and / or the shortest possible destination time. In this way, an elevator 10, 10 ', 10 "is assigned to the call. The waiting time is the duration between the introduction of the call and the opening of an elevator door of the elevator cabin 1, 1' of the elevator 10, 10 ', 10 "assigned to the call on the departure floor. Destination time is the duration between the introduction of the call and the opening of an elevator door of the elevator cabin 1, 1 'of the elevator 10, 10', 10 "assigned to the call on the arrival floor. The departure floor does not must match the call entry stage. Also, the arrival stage does not have to match the destination floor desired by the passenger according to the destination call. To determine the most favorable trip, at least one program medium is loaded from computer readable data memory of the call controller 3 on the call controller processor 3 and executed The computer program medium generates at least one normal operating signal for the most favorable trip. call controller 3 transmits the normal operating signal on signal bus 31 to the elevator controller 2, 2 ', 2 "of the designated elevator 10, 10', 10". With the normal operating signal, the elevator controller 2, 2 ', 2 "of the designated elevator 10, 1 0 ', 10 "is activated and the elevator car 1, 1' of the designated elevator 10, 10 'is moved to the departure and arrival floors.
[00073] According to Fig. 6, the call controller 3 transmits at least one traffic signal on the signal bus 31, 31 ', 31 ", 31' '' to an output device 40. With the traffic, at least one traffic information is sent to the passenger on the output device, so the passenger receives optical and / or acoustic traffic information on the output device 40. Thus, with the traffic information, the passenger is informed about which predetermined arrival time an elevator cabin 1, 1 'arrives at a main operating floor and / or what differential time exists for an arrival time, when an elevator cabin 1, 1', upon reaching that arrival time, goes to the main operating floor at which departure time an elevator cabin 1, 1 'departs from a main operating floor and / or what time difference exists for a starting time when an elevator cabin is reached this departure time, part of the main operating floor, and / or with which and number of passengers previously defined an elevator cabin 1, 1 'part of a main operating floor and / or what differential number exists for a number of passengers previously defined, when an elevator cabin 1, 1', upon reaching that number of passengers, part of a main operating stage and / or with which previously defined payload an elevator cabin 1, 1 'part of a main operating stage and / or what differential number exists for a previously defined payload, when an elevator cabin 1, 1 ', when this payload is reached, part of a main operating floor and / or with what number of passengers previously defined an elevator cabin 1, 1' part of a main traffic floor, and , if a departure time is reached, before the number of passengers in the elevator cabin is reached, the elevator cabin departs from the main traffic floor, before the previously defined number of passengers is reached and / or with which previously defined payload an elevator cabin 1, 1 'part of a main traffic floor, and, if a predetermined starting time is reached, before the previously defined payload of the elevator cabin is reached, the elevator cabin departs the main traffic floor, without having reached the previously defined payload and / or after reaching the predetermined time, after detecting at least one passenger information in an elevator cabin, detected by at least one sensor 5, this elevator cabin departs from a main traffic floor and / or after reaching a predetermined time, after the detection of at least one passenger information in an elevator cabin, detected by at least one sensor 5, this elevator cabin goes to a main traffic floor, etc. With the traffic information, the passenger also obtains, for example, a call receipt for the entered call and / or a call receipt for the read code. Thus, it can be indicated with the traffic information that a call and / or code transmitted to the call controller 3 is answered by the elevator system; and / or which elevator cabin 1, 1 'answers on which departure floor a call and / or code transmitted to the call controller 3 and / or which elevator cabin 1, 1' answers a call and / or code transmitted to the controller call 3 with a trip to which arrival floor. With the traffic information, a route description from a call introduction floor to a departure floor can also be indicated, a departure floor from which an elevator cabin 1, 1'part for answering a call and / or code transmitted to the call controller 3 and / or with the traffic information, at least one route description from an arrival floor to a destination floor can be indicated, which arrival floor for which an elevator cabin 1, 1 'is directs to answer a call and / or code transmitted to the call controller 3. With the traffic information it can also be indicated at which departure time of a departure floor an elevator cabin 1, 1 'answers a call and / or code transmitted to the call controller 3 and / or which differential time for a departure time of a departure floor, after elapsed, an elevator cabin 1, 1 'answers a call and / or code transmitted to the call controller 3 and / or what time it arrives to an arrival floor an elevator cabin 1.1 'answers a call and / or code transmitted to the call controller 3 and / or which differential time for an arrival time on an arrival floor, after an elevator cabin 1, 1 'answers a call and / or code transmitted to the call controller 3. Keystroke call input and contactless call introduction can be combined with each other. The passenger can modify and / or remove, on the input device 41 of the call input device 4, the destination call made available by reading the computer-readable data memory. Input device 41 and output device 40 may also be formed as at least one touch screen.
[00074] Figs. 7 and 8 show flowcharts of two examples of process modality for operating an elevator system 100. The individual process steps are described in more detail below:
[00075] In a process step A1, at least one sensor signal detected by a sensor 5 is a number of passengers T1 and / or payload T1 'present from the elevator system 100. To that end, the sensor transmits the sensor signal via the signal bus, 31 ', 31 ", 31' '' to the call controller 3. A computer software product of the call controller 3 registers the sensor signal in at least one count register. The count register is specific for areas, for example, for a specific floor S1 to S9 and / or for an elevator cabin 1, 1 'specific to an elevator 10, 10', 10 ". A number of counting records can be added and / or subtracted, so that from the counting records of floors S1 to S9 and the elevator cabs 1, 1 'a counting record of the elevator system 100 is formed. a number of T1 passengers and / or a T1 payload is registered. For this, the sensor signals are counted. According to Figs. 2 and 3, a light sensor 51 detects a passenger accessing and exiting an elevator cabin 1, 1 'of elevator 10 and on floors S1 to S9, ultrasound sensors 53 detect a passenger's movements in the area ahead of the elevator doors of elevator 10. When, then, on floor S2 a passenger enters elevator cabin 1, 1 'of the elevator and again leaves elevator cabin 1, 1' of elevator 10 on floor S5, then the registration of count of the floor S2 decreases by a counter, the count record of the floor S5 increases by a counter and during the journey from the floor S2 to the floor S5, the count record of the cabin 1, 1 'of the elevator 10 increased by a counter. The number of passengers T1 and / or the payload T1 'present can be stored in at least one computer readable data memory of the call controller 3 and from there can be consulted. The number of passengers T1 and / or the payload T1 'present can be stored, provided with at least one time stamp. Through the time stamp, a number of passengers T1 and / or payload T1 'present stored is identifiable. For traffic that repeats at certain times in the elevator system, a new determination of the number of passengers T1 and / or payload T1 'present can be dispensed with, and can instead be loaded from the readable data memory by computer a number of passengers T1 and / or payload T1 'present, stored, whose time stamp corresponds to the present time. It is also possible to make use of the number of passengers T1 and / or payload T1 'present, stored, and test their validity at regular or irregular intervals by comparing the number of passenger T1 and / or payload T1' present in a new determination. For example, at any time, a new determination is made of a number of passengers T1 and / or payload T1 'present and compared with a number of passengers T1 and / or payload T1' present, stored, endowed with a time corresponding to the schedule. It is also possible to evaluate a number of passengers T1 and / or payload T1 'present, using the transmitted sensor signal. If a difference between the new determination of the number of passengers T1 and / or payload T1 'present and the number of passengers T1 and / or payload T1' present, stored exceeds, for example, at least a 10% tolerance range , the number of passengers T1 and / or payload T1 'present, stored, is replaced by the number of passengers T1 and / or payload T1' present in the new determination.
[00076] In a process step A2, at least one freely adjustable threshold value T2, T2 'is determined. The threshold value T2, T2 'is determined specifically for the elevator system, for example, in a planning and / or the startup of the elevator system 100 and stored, for example, in at least one data memory readable by call controller computer 3. The threshold value T2 'can be loaded via the computer program from the call controller's computer-readable data memory 3. The threshold value T2, T2' takes into account at least one parameter of a specific capacity of the elevator system, such as a building size of the elevator system, the number of elevators 10, 10 ', 10 "of the elevator system, a travel speed of the elevators 10, 10', 10" of the elevator elevator system 100, one size of the elevator cabins 1, 1 'of the elevators 10, 10', 10 "of the elevator system 100, an energy consumption of the elevators 10, 10 ', 10" of the elevator system 100 etc. The threshold value T2, T2 'is specific, that is, it can be freely adjusted for each elevator 10, 10', 10 "and / or for elevator cabin 1, 1 '. In the knowledge of the present invention, the technician can take into account other parameters, such as elevator door width 10, 10 ', 10 "of elevator system 100, height elevator door 10, 10', 10" of elevator system, height stopping accuracy on the floor of the elevator cabins 1, 1 'of the elevators 10, 10', 10 "of the elevator system 100, a decoration, such as panoramic view, type of materials used, etc. of elevator cabins 1, 1 'of elevators 10, 10', 10 "of elevator system 100.
[00077] A threshold value T2 in terms of traffic technique designates an upper load limit of the elevator system. If the threshold value in terms of traffic technique is exceeded, the elevator system is in peak time mode. The threshold value T2 is reduced by a factor of five, preferably three, preferably two, than the specific capacity of the elevator system. In peak time mode, fulfilling a passenger's individual travel desire is only limited in determining the most favorable call designation. As soon as the threshold value T2 in terms of traffic technique is exceeded, at least one elevator 10, 10 ', 10 "of the elevator system 100 is determined for the peak time mode. The elevators 10, 10', 10 "remainder of the elevator system remains in normal operating mode. In peak time mode, for example, the passenger's call entry stage and the designated elevator cabin 1, 1 'departure floor, as well as the passenger's desired destination floor and the arrival cabin of the passenger cabin. elevator 1, 1 'may be different. In this case, the passenger must travel through the stair and / or escalator the resulting floor difference. The threshold value T2 in terms of traffic technique thus indicates the maximum number of passengers, for whose traffic load the specific capacity of the elevator system is sufficient to, in determining the most favorable call designation, attend a a passenger's individual travel wish. Below the threshold value T2 in terms of traffic technique, the elevator system 100 is operated in a normal operating mode and / or secondary operating mode. In normal operating mode, an individual traveller's individual travel wish is met in determining the most favorable call designation.
[00078] A threshold value T2 'in terms of energy technique designates a lower load limit of the elevator system 100. The threshold value T2' in terms of energy technique indicates a minimum number of passengers and / or payload , from which a passenger's individual travel wish continues to be met, but a more favorable call designation is no longer possible. The threshold value T2 'in terms of energy technique is less by a factor of twenty, preferably ten, preferably eight, than the specific capacity of the elevator system. In such a small number of passengers and / or payload, the standby consumption of the elevator system 100 is disproportionately high, which is why at least one elevator cabin 1, 1 '' is temporarily stopped. The elevator system 100 is then operated in a secondary operating mode. Lift cabins 1, 1 'can no longer satisfy the conditions for a more favorable call designation.
[00079] In a process step A3, A5, it is verified by the call controller 3 whether the number of passengers T1 and / or payload T1 'present in the elevator system 100 is greater than at least a threshold value T2, T2 'freely adjustable. If the number of passengers T1 and / or payload T1 'present is greater than a threshold value T2, T2', then at least one state of exceedance T3 in terms of traffic technique is established by means of a computer program. If the number of passengers T1 and / or payload T1 'present is less than or equal to a threshold value T2 in terms of traffic technique, then a state of correspondence T3' in terms of traffic technique is established by the medium computer program. If the number of passengers T1 and / or payload T1 'present is greater than a threshold value T2' in terms of energy technique, then at least one state of correspondence T5 in terms of energy technique is established by means of computer program. If the number of passengers T1 and / or payload T1 'present is less than or equal to a threshold value T2' in terms of energy technique, then a non-reaching state T5 'in terms of energy technique is established through a computer program. The two process steps A3, A5 can be carried out simultaneously or shifted in time.
[00080] In a process step A4, for a T4 call, a call introduction stage and a desired destination stage are determined. The call introduction stage is stage S1 toS9, in which the call input device 4 is arranged in the building. The destination floor is the destination floor desired by the passenger. The pairing consisting of the call introduction stage and the destination stage desired by the passenger is deposited for each call in the data memory of the call controller 3 and from there can be consulted.
[00081] In a process step A6, the call controller 3 is transmitted to a state of exceedance T3 in terms of the established traffic technique, at least one main operation signal T6 to at least one elevator 10, 10 ', 10 "determined. The computer program medium generates in the main operating mode at least one main operating signal T6 for a given elevator 10, 10 ', 10". The particular elevator 10, 10 ', 10 "is the elevator of the elevator system 100, for which a threshold value T2 in terms of traffic technique is exceeded.
[00082] In process step A6 ', it is determined by call controller 3, for at least one call T4 and a match state T3' in terms of established traffic technique and / or a match state T5 in terms of power technique, in normal operating mode at least one more favorable call designation. The general computer program means in normal operating mode at least one normal operating signal T6 '.
[00083] In a process step A6 ", it is transmitted by the call controller 3 to at least one call T4 and a correspondence state T3 'established in terms of traffic technique and a state of non-reaching T5' in terms of technique in secondary operation mode, at least one secondary operation signal T6 / ', T6 to at least one elevator 10, 10', 10 ". The general computer program means in the secondary operation mode at least one secondary operation signal T6 ".
[00084] In a process step A7, the elevator controller 2, 2 ', 2 "of a given elevator 10, 10', 10" is activated by the call controller 3 with the main operating signal T6 as such so that the elevator cabin 1, 1 'of the elevator controller 2, 21, 2 "activated in at least one main operating mode only goes to two previously defined HF main operating floors. Fig. 9 shows in this respect a tabular representation of an example of an embodiment. In the main operating mode of the elevator system 100, the lower elevator cabin 1 of the elevator 10 goes back and forth between floors S1 and S8 as main operating floors HS and the cabin elevator 1 'from elevator 10 goes back and forth between floors S2 and S9 as main operating floors HS. In addition, elevator cab 1 of elevator 10 "goes back and forth between floors S1 and S5 as main operation floors HS . In this way, the two elevators 10 and 10 "are destined for the peak time mode, while the elevator 10 is not destined for the main operating mode HS. In the main operating mode, the elevators 10, 10" carry passengers to the floors S1, S2, S5, S8 and S9 as the main operating floors HS, while the lower elevator cabin 1 of the elevator 10 'serves the floors S1 to S4 and the upper elevator cabin 1' serves the floors S4 to S9. Elevators 10 and 10 "still only serve, to a limited extent, a T4 call, to transport a passenger between floors of HS main operation.
[00085] In a process step A7 ', the elevator controller 2, 2', 2 "is activated by the call controller 3 with the normal operating signal T6 'in such a way that the elevator cabin 1, 1' of the elevator controller 2, 2 ', 2 "activated, in normal operating mode it only addresses two previously defined HS main operating floors and at least one other floor S1 to S9. Fig. 10 shows in this respect a table representation of an example of a modality. In the normal operating mode of the elevator system 100, the elevator cabin 1 of the elevator 10 "is no longer directed just before S1 and S5, as in the main operating mode of chorus with Fig. 9, but now to all floors S1 to S9. Elevator 10, with its elevator cabins 1, 1 ', in peak time mode, continues to run only to floors S1, S2, S8 and S9, as main operation floors HS.
[00086] In a process step A7 ", the elevator controller 2, 2 ', 2" is activated by the elevator cabin 3 with the secondary operation signal T6 ", in such a way that the elevator cabin 1, 1' the elevator controller 2, 2 ', 2 ", activated in the secondary operating mode, answers at least one call T4 in at least one secondary operating mode, to go to floors S1 to S9. Fig. 11 shows in this respect a table representation of an example of a modality. In the secondary operating mode of the elevator system 100, the elevator cabs 1, 1 'of the elevator 10 and the elevator cab 1' of the elevator 10 'are stopped, while the elevator cabin 1 of the elevator 10' meets the floors S1 to S8 and elevator cabin 1 of elevator 10 ", floors S1 to S9.
