[0024] The present disclosure provides a method for controlling the operation of an elevator, which is applied to an elevator system. Figure 1 As shown, the control method includes: Step 101, determining the elevator call information corresponding to the external elevator call request; wherein the elevator call information includes the elevator call mode; Step 102: Determine an elevator call response mode corresponding to the obtained elevator call mode according to a preset correspondence relationship between multiple elevator call modes and multiple elevator call response modes; Step 103: Control the operation of the elevator car according to the determined elevator call response mode.

[0025] The outside elevator request can be obtained through the outside elevator module. When the outside elevator request is obtained through the outside elevator module, the outside elevator module can be an outside elevator button module set on the elevator lobby of each floor. When the outside elevator module is an outside elevator button module set on the elevator lobby of each floor, the passenger can initiate the outside elevator request by pressing the outside elevator button module; the outside elevator module can also be an outside elevator request module in the elevator application in the passenger's mobile terminal. When the outside elevator module is an outside elevator request module in the elevator application in the passenger's mobile terminal, the passenger downloads and installs the corresponding elevator application to his own terminal, opens the elevator application when an outside elevator request is needed, and initiates the outside elevator request on the interface, so that the outside elevator request module in the application can obtain the outside elevator request.

[0026] When the external elevator call module is an external elevator call request module in the elevator call application in the passenger mobile terminal, the external elevator call request module can be a button corresponding to each floor set on the display interface. When the external elevator call request module is a button corresponding to each floor on the display interface, the passenger can initiate an elevator call request by pressing the button corresponding to any floor on the interface; the external elevator call request module can also be an elevator call information input area set on the display interface. When the external elevator call request module is an elevator call information input area set on the real interface, the passenger can input the external elevator call request information in the elevator call information input area to initiate the elevator call request.

[0027] The elevator call mode refers to the method used to initiate an external elevator call request. When the external elevator call module is an external elevator call button module set on the elevator lobby of each floor, the elevator call mode may refer to the elevator call pressing method of the external elevator call button; when the external elevator call module is an external elevator call request module in the elevator call application in the passenger's mobile terminal, and the external elevator call request module is the button corresponding to each floor displayed on the interface, the elevator call mode may refer to the elevator call pressing method of the button corresponding to any floor in the interface of the elevator call application; when the external elevator call module is an external elevator call request module in the elevator call application in the passenger's mobile terminal, and the external elevator call request module is the elevator call information input area set on the display interface, the elevator call mode may be the elevator call mode information entered by the passenger in the elevator call information input area.

[0028] When the outside call elevator module is an outside call elevator button module set on the elevator lobby of each floor, based on the actual situation, the elevator lobby on the top floor is often only provided with one down button, the elevator lobby on the bottom floor (if there is an underground garage, the bottom floor may be the floor where the underground garage is located) is only provided with one up button, and the elevator lobbies on other floors are provided with one up button and one down button. Therefore, a variety of elevator call response modes with a downward running direction can be requested through the down button on the top floor, a variety of elevator call response modes with an upward running direction can be requested through the up button on the bottom floor, a variety of elevator call response modes with an upward running direction can be requested through the up button on any floor except the top floor and the bottom floor, and a variety of elevator call response modes with a downward running direction can be requested through the down button.

[0029] The control method for elevator operation provided in the embodiment of the present application pre-sets the correspondence between multiple elevator call modes and multiple elevator call response modes. When an external elevator call is initiated, the elevator call response mode corresponding to the elevator call mode of the external elevator call can be determined, and the elevator car operation can be controlled according to the determined elevator call response mode, thereby realizing diversified control of the elevator.

[0030] In some exemplary embodiments, the determining the elevator call information corresponding to the elevator call request includes: determining the elevator call information corresponding to the elevator call request through an elevator call button of the elevator system; When the elevator call information corresponding to the elevator call request is determined by pressing an elevator call button of the elevator system, the elevator call mode includes: a call pressing mode of the elevator call button.

[0031] In order to implement the elevator operation control method provided in the embodiment of the present application, the present application provides an elevator operation control device structure which can be as follows: Figure 2 As shown, the structure includes: a communication board 21, a main control board 22, and an expansion board 23. The elevator call button is connected to the communication board 21 through a signal line. The communication board obtains the elevator call signal initiated by the passenger through the elevator call button. The elevator call signal is transmitted to the main control board 22 and then to the expansion board 23 to control the elevator car to execute the corresponding command operation and respond to the elevator call response mode.

[0032] In some exemplary embodiments, the elevator call pressing mode is determined by at least one of the following methods: Determining the elevator call pressing mode according to the number of consecutive pressings of the elevator call button; wherein different elevator call pressing modes correspond to different consecutive pressings; Determining the elevator call pressing mode according to the pressing force of the elevator call button; wherein different elevator call pressing modes correspond to different pressing force ranges; The elevator call pressing mode is determined according to the pressing time of the elevator call button; wherein different elevator call pressing modes correspond to different pressing time ranges.

[0033] Continuous pressing refers to a group of pressings in which the pressing interval between every two adjacent pressings is less than a preset time interval. In the actual application of passengers pressing the elevator call button, the control method provided in the embodiment of the present application can calculate the pressing interval between each pressing and the last pressing. When the pressing interval is less than the preset time interval, it is determined that the pressing is continuous with the last pressing. When the pressing interval is not less than the preset time interval, it is determined that the pressing and the subsequent pressings of the pressing are not continuous with the last pressing.

[0034] When the elevator call pressing mode is determined according to the number of consecutive presses of the elevator call button, counting can be started when the passenger's pressing of the elevator call button is sensed, and the pressing interval between each press and the last press is calculated during the counting process. When the pressing interval is less than a preset time interval, it is determined that the press is continuous with the last press, and 1 is added to the sum of the calculated press counts. When the pressing interval is not less than the preset time interval, it is determined that the press and the subsequent presses are not continuous with the last press, and the currently obtained press count is used as the final number of continuous presses.

[0035] When the elevator calling pressing mode is determined according to the pressing force of the elevator-calling button, a pressure sensor may be arranged under the elevator-calling button. When the passenger presses the elevator-calling button, the pressing force is acquired by using the pressure sensor under the elevator-calling button. When the elevator calling pressing mode is determined according to the pressing duration of the elevator-calling button, timing may be started when the passenger presses the elevator-calling button and the timing may be stopped when the passenger no longer presses the elevator-calling button, thereby acquiring the pressing duration.

[0036] In some exemplary embodiments, the elevator call pressing mode is determined by: In response to the number of consecutive pressings of the elevator call button being 1, determining that the elevator call pressing mode is the first elevator call pressing mode; In response to the elevator call button being pressed continuously for i times, the elevator call pressing mode is determined to be the i-th elevator call pressing mode; wherein i is each integer value from 1 to n in sequence, excluding 1 and including n, and n is an integer greater than 1.

[0037] The types of elevator call pressing methods correspond to different continuous pressing times of the external elevator call button. There are as many continuous pressing times of the external elevator call button as there are types of elevator call pressing methods.

[0038] In some exemplary embodiments, the elevator system includes a plurality of elevator cars and the plurality of elevator cars can be called through the elevator call button, and the elevator call information further includes an elevator call floor and an elevator call direction; The multiple call response modes include any two or more of the following: Selecting an elevator car from the plurality of elevator cars according to the elevator calling floor, the elevator calling direction and the operation status of the plurality of elevator cars, and controlling the selected elevator car to respond to the elevator call response mode of the external call request; Controlling a designated elevator car to respond to the elevator call request in an elevator call response mode, wherein some of the plurality of elevator cars are the designated elevator cars; Controlling the elevator car to respond to the external elevator call request, and setting the door closing mode of the elevator car responding to the external elevator call request to a delayed closing elevator call response mode; Controlling at least two elevator cars to respond to the elevator call request in an elevator call response mode.

[0039] The operation status of the multiple elevator cars may refer to the operation status and relative positions of the multiple elevator cars, wherein the operation status includes normal or faulty. An elevator car is selected from the multiple elevator cars as the existing elevator response mode according to the elevator call floor, the elevator call direction and the operation status of the multiple elevator cars.

[0040] Exemplarily, the designated elevator car may refer to an elevator car at a specific position among multiple elevator cars, such as the easternmost elevator car among multiple elevator cars, or the two westernmost elevator cars among multiple elevator cars; it may also refer to an elevator car with a specific function among multiple elevator cars, such as an elevator car specifically used for loading cargo among multiple elevator cars, or an elevator car with a larger capacity that can carry more people among multiple elevator cars.

[0041] When there are many passengers who need to take the elevator on any floor, any passenger on this floor can control the elevator call response mode by using the external elevator call button: the door closing mode of the elevator car responding to the external elevator call request is set to the delayed closing elevator call response mode, thereby fully ensuring the safety of the passengers entering the elevator car to avoid pinching the passengers entering the elevator car when the car door is closed.

[0042] When there are many passengers who need to take the elevator on any floor, any passenger on this floor can control the elevator call response mode by the external elevator call button: at least two elevator cars respond to the external elevator call request, thereby ensuring that there are enough elevator cars for the passengers on this floor.

[0043] In some exemplary embodiments, the elevator call information further includes an elevator call floor and an elevator call direction; The multiple elevator call response modes include: Selecting an elevator car from the plurality of elevator cars according to the elevator calling floor, the elevator calling direction and the operation status of the plurality of elevator cars, and controlling the selected elevator car to respond to the elevator call response mode of the external call request; And the door closing mode of the elevator car responding to the external elevator call request is set to a delayed closing elevator call response mode.

[0044] Exemplarily, an elevator car is selected from multiple elevator cars as the existing elevator response mode according to the elevator calling floor, the elevator calling direction and the operating conditions of multiple elevator cars. When passengers on any floor need to carry more goods into the elevator car, the elevator call response mode can be controlled by the external call button: the existing elevator response mode and the elevator call response mode in which the door closing method of the elevator car responding to the external call request is set to a delayed closing, thereby ensuring that the transported goods can enter the elevator car smoothly without being clamped by the car door.

[0045] When there are many passengers who need to take the elevator car on any floor, any passenger on this floor can control the elevator call response mode through the external call button: the existing elevator response mode and the elevator call response mode in which the door closing mode of the elevator car responding to the external call request is set to the delayed closing mode, thereby ensuring that all passengers on this floor can smoothly enter the elevator car without being clamped by the car door.

[0046] In some exemplary embodiments, when the plurality of elevator call response modes include: an elevator call response mode of controlling a designated elevator car to respond to the outside elevator call request, the designated elevator car refers to an elevator car leading to a designated floor.

[0047] Exemplarily, the designated floor may refer to the floor where the underground garage is located, or to the top floor, or to any one of the floors, or to any multiple floors. When the designated floor is the floor where the underground garage is located, if a passenger on any floor wants to go to the underground garage, the passenger can control the elevator car leading to the underground garage to respond to the elevator call request through the elevator call button, thereby ensuring that the passenger can smoothly reach the underground garage through the elevator car to be carried, so as to avoid the situation where the passenger requests an elevator car that does not lead to the underground garage.

[0048] In some exemplary embodiments, before determining the elevator call information corresponding to the elevator call request, the control method further includes: judging whether the elevator call request is valid, and in response to the elevator call request being valid, determining the elevator call information corresponding to the elevator call request.

[0049] For each elevator call request, it is necessary to determine whether the elevator call request is valid. If it is invalid, it means that the elevator call request may be some disruptive behavior, and the step of determining the elevator call information corresponding to the elevator call request is not performed.

[0050] In some exemplary embodiments, the effectiveness of the elevator call request includes at least one of the following methods: The number of consecutive presses does not exceed the maximum number of presses threshold set for the elevator call request; The time interval between the elevator call request and the previous elevator call request is greater than a time interval threshold; wherein, the previous elevator call request refers to a previous elevator call request with the same floor and direction as those requested by the elevator call request, and the time interval refers to the time interval between the elevator call press start time of the elevator call request and the elevator call press end time of the previous elevator call request.

[0051] Exemplarily, the maximum number of presses threshold may be the maximum number of different continuous presses corresponding to all elevator call press methods. When the maximum number of presses threshold is the maximum number of different continuous presses corresponding to all elevator call press methods, since different continuous presses correspond to different elevator call press methods and thus to different elevator call response modes, when the continuous number of presses exceeds the maximum number of different continuous presses corresponding to all elevator call press methods, there is no corresponding elevator call press method and thus no corresponding elevator call response mode, and therefore it is determined that the external elevator call request is invalid.

[0052] Exemplarily, the time interval threshold may refer to the minimum pressing time interval set between different elevator call requests, and different elevator call requests refer to two different elevator call requests that are adjacent to each other for the same button. That is, if the latter elevator call request is to be determined as valid, the time interval between the latter elevator call request and the previous elevator call request needs to be greater than the time interval threshold, otherwise the latter elevator call request is determined to be invalid. The time interval between the latter elevator call request and the previous elevator call request may refer to the time interval between the first pressing of the latter elevator call request and the last pressing of the previous elevator call request.

[0053] In some exemplary embodiments, the method further includes: after a valid elevator call occurs, determining an elevator call response mode according to the call mode of the elevator call, and controlling the elevator car to run according to the determined elevator call response mode, and during the response to the elevator call, if another elevator call request triggered by the same elevator call button is received, processing is performed in the following manner: If it is determined that the newly received external call request is valid and the calling mode is different from the calling mode of the previous external call request, respond to the newly received external call request and control the operation of the elevator car according to the calling response mode corresponding to the calling mode of the newly received external call request.

[0054] For example, when there are two or more groups of passengers in different rows on any floor (one group of passengers includes at least one passenger), any customer in the first group of passengers initiates an elevator call request and requests a call method on this floor, and any customer in the second group of passengers requests and requests another call method on this floor (different from the call method requested by the first group of passengers), as long as the elevator call request initiated by the elevator of the second group of passengers is valid, the elevator call request initiated by the elevator of the second group of passengers will still be responded to, and the elevator car will be controlled to operate according to the call response mode corresponding to the request method of the second group of passengers; similarly, the elevator call requests initiated by subsequent passengers are also judged in a corresponding manner.

[0055] The present disclosure also provides an elevator operation control device, which is applied to an elevator system. The elevator system includes: A memory and a processor, wherein the memory is configured to store an executable program; The processor is configured to read and execute the executable program to implement the elevator operation control method as described in any embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0056] The control device for elevator operation provided in the embodiment of the present application pre-sets the correspondence between multiple elevator call modes and multiple elevator call response modes. It can determine the elevator call response mode corresponding to the elevator call mode of the external elevator call when the external elevator call is initiated, and control the operation of the elevator car according to the determined elevator call response mode, thereby realizing diversified control of the elevator.

[0057] The present disclosure also provides an elevator system, such as Figure 3 As shown, it includes: at least one elevator car 31 and the control device 32 described in the embodiment of the present disclosure. The control device 32 is configured to execute the elevator operation control method described in any embodiment of the present disclosure when an external elevator call request is generated at any floor.

[0058] The embodiments of the present disclosure also provide a computer storage medium storing a computer program. When the computer program is executed by a processor, the control method for elevator operation as described in any of the above embodiments can be implemented.
