Problems solved by technology

However, in the technology disclosed in this patent document 1, although the load state of the passenger conveyor can be detected, it cannot be determined whether the waiting area of ​​the passenger conveyor is congested or not.
Therefore, although it is not in a heavy load state, the operation speed of the passenger conveyor that congests the waiting place may be reduced, and as a result, there is a possibility that the stagnation of passengers in the waiting place will be increased.

Deformed example 1

[0046]In addition, in the above-mentioned embodiment, the judging unit 110 of the integrated control device 100 is formed to analyze the image captured by the camera 50 corresponding to each escalator 10, and judge the degree of crowding at the waiting area of ​​each escalator 10 and the degree of passenger congestion. attribute, but since the processing load of the determination of the passenger attribute is relatively large, for example, in the processor 101 (refer to image 3 ) is insufficient, there is a possibility that it may cause damage to real-time performance. Therefore, in such a case, the judging part 110 may be configured to judge only the waiting area congestion degree of each escalator 10 without judging the attributes of passengers. Thereby, for example, even when the calculation processing capacity of the processor 101 is insufficient, the processing load on the determination unit 110 can be reduced to ensure real-time performance.

Deformed example 2

[0048] Furthermore, in the above-mentioned embodiment, the escalator 10 was shown as an example of the passenger conveyor to be controlled in speed, but the passenger conveyor to be controlled in speed may be a moving walk (moving sidewalk). That is, in an environment where a plurality of moving walks are installed, as in the case of installing a plurality of escalators 10, there is a need to suppress passengers from staying in crowded waiting areas and to suppress an increase in total power consumption. Therefore, the present invention is effective even when a moving walk is the object of speed control.

[0049] According to the above-described embodiment or modification, it is possible to suppress the stagnation of passengers in the waiting area of ​​the passenger conveyor, and to suppress an increase in the total power consumption of the plurality of passenger conveyors.

Abstract

The invention relates to a speed control system of a passenger conveyor and a speed control method of the passenger conveyor, which can inhibit passenger retention at an elevator waiting position of the passenger conveyor and inhibit increase of total power consumption of a plurality of passenger conveyors. A speed control system for passenger conveyors according to an embodiment of the present invention comprehensively controls the operating speeds of a plurality of passenger conveyors, and is provided with a plurality of imaging means, a determination means, and a speed control means. The plurality of shooting units shoot respective elevator waiting places of the plurality of passenger conveyors. The determination unit analyzes the images photographed by the plurality of photographing units and determines the crowding degree of the elevator waiting places of the plurality of passenger conveyors. When a passenger conveyor whose degree of congestion at the elevator waiting position exceeds a predetermined upper limit value is detected, the speed control unit causes the passenger conveyor to operate at a second speed faster than a first speed, which is a standard speed, and causes one of the other passenger conveyors operating at the first speed to operate at a third speed slower than the first speed.

Description

[0001] This application is based on Japanese Patent Application No. 2019-042206 (filing date: March 8, 2019), and enjoys the priority of this application. This application incorporates the entire content of the above-mentioned prior application by referring to the above-mentioned prior application. technical field [0002] Embodiments of the present invention relate to a speed control system of a passenger conveyor and a speed control method of a passenger conveyor. Background technique [0003] Passenger conveyors such as escalators and moving walks are often controlled by inverters to switch the operating speed in multiple stages. Such passenger conveyors are required to operate at high speeds in order to increase the conveying capacity during congested times and alleviate congestion at waiting places. On the other hand, power consumption increases when the operating speed of the passenger conveyor is increased. Therefore, if a plurality of passenger conveyors are operate...
