[0053] An embodiment of the present disclosure provides a control method for elevator operation, which is applied to an elevator system, as Figure 1 shown, the control method includes:

[0054] Step 101, determining the call information corresponding to the external call request; wherein, the call information includes the call method;

[0055] Step 102, determining the call response mode corresponding to the obtained call method according to the corresponding relationship between multiple preset call methods and multiple call response modes;

[0056] Step 103: Control the operation of the elevator car according to the determined call response mode.

[0057] The external call request can be obtained through the external call module. When the external call request is obtained through the external call module, the external call module can be an external call button module set on each floor of the elevator hall. When the external call module is an external call button module set on each floor of the elevator hall, passengers can initiate an external call request by pressing the external call button module; the external call module can also be an external call request module in the call application in the passenger mobile terminal. When the external call module is an external call request module in the call application in the passenger mobile terminal, the passenger downloads and installs the corresponding call application to their own terminal. When an external call request is needed, the call application is opened, and an external call request is initiated on the interface so that the external call request module in the application can obtain the external call request.

[0058] When the external call module is an external call request module in the call application in the passenger mobile terminal, the external call request module can be a button corresponding to each floor set on the display interface. When the external call request module is a button corresponding to each floor set on the display interface, passengers can initiate a call request by pressing any button corresponding to a floor on the interface; the external call request module can also be a call information input area set on the display interface. When the external call request module is a call information input area set on the display interface, passengers can input external call request information in the call information input area to initiate a call request.

[0059] The call method refers to the method used to initiate an external call request. When the external call module is an external call button module set on each floor of the elevator hall, the call method can refer to the call pressing method of the external call button; when the external call module is an external call request module in the call application in the passenger mobile terminal, and the external call request module is a button corresponding to each floor displayed on the interface, the call method can refer to the call pressing method of any button corresponding to a floor in the interface of the call application; when the external call module is an external call request module in the call application in the passenger mobile terminal, and the external call request module is a call information input area set on the display interface, the call method can be the call method information input by the passenger in the call information input area.

[0060] When the external call elevator module is an external call elevator button module set on each floor of the elevator lobby, in combination with the actual situation, usually only a downward button is set on the elevator lobby of the top floor, and only an upward button is set on the elevator lobby of the bottom floor (if there is an underground garage, the bottom floor may be the floor where the underground garage is located). On the elevator lobbies of other floors, an upward button and a downward button are set. Therefore, through the downward button on the top floor, various call response modes with a downward running direction can be requested. Through the upward button on the bottom floor, various call response modes with an upward running direction can be requested. Through the upward button on any floor other than the top floor and the bottom floor, various call response modes with an upward running direction can be requested, and through the downward button, various call response modes with a downward running direction can be requested.

[0061] The elevator operation control method provided by the embodiments of the present application can determine the call response mode corresponding to the call method of the external call elevator request when the external call elevator request is initiated by presetting the corresponding relationship between various call methods and various call response modes, and control the operation of the elevator car in the determined call response mode. Therefore, the diversified control of the elevator is realized.

[0062] In some exemplary embodiments, the determining the call information corresponding to the external call elevator request includes: determining the call information corresponding to the external call elevator request through the external call elevator button of the elevator system;

[0063] When the call information corresponding to the determined external call elevator request is determined through the external call elevator button of the elevator system, the call method includes: the call pressing method of the external call elevator button.

[0064] To implement the elevator operation control method provided by the embodiments of the present application, the structure of a control device for elevator operation provided by the present application can be as Figure 2 shown. This structure includes: a communication board 21, a main control board 22, and an expansion board 23. The external call elevator button is connected to the communication board 21 through a signal line. The communication board obtains the external call elevator signal initiated by the passenger through the external call elevator button. The external call elevator 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 instruction operation and respond to the call response mode.

[0065] In some exemplary embodiments, the call pressing method is determined by at least one of the following methods:

[0066] Determining the call pressing method according to the number of consecutive presses on the external call elevator button; wherein, different call pressing methods correspond to different numbers of consecutive presses;

[0067] Determining the call pressing method according to the pressing force on the external call elevator button; wherein, different call pressing methods correspond to different pressing force ranges;

[0068] Determine the call button pressing method according to the pressing duration of the outbound call button; wherein, different call button pressing methods correspond to different pressing duration ranges.

[0069] Continuous pressing refers to a set of presses where the pressing interval between every two adjacent presses is less than a preset time interval. In the actual application of a passenger pressing the outbound call button, the control method provided by the embodiments of the present application can calculate the pressing interval between each press and the previous press. When the pressing interval is less than the preset time interval, it is determined that this press and the previous press belong to continuous pressing. When the pressing interval is not less than the preset time interval, it is determined that this press and the subsequent presses of this press do not belong to continuous pressing with the previous press.

[0070] When the call button pressing method is determined according to the number of continuous presses on the outbound call button, counting can be started when it is sensed that the passenger presses the outbound call button. During the counting process, calculate the pressing interval between each press and the previous press. When the pressing interval is less than the preset time interval, it is determined that this press and the previous press belong to continuous pressing, and add 1 to the sum of the calculated press counts that have been obtained. When the pressing interval is not less than the preset time interval, it is determined that this press and the subsequent presses of this press do not belong to continuous pressing with the previous press, and use the currently obtained press count as the final number of continuous presses.

[0071] When the call button pressing method is determined according to the pressing force on the outbound call button, a pressure sensor can be set under the outbound call button. When the passenger presses the outbound call button, the pressing force can be obtained by using the pressure sensor under the outbound call button; when the call button pressing method is determined according to the pressing duration of the outbound call button, timing can be started when it is sensed that the passenger presses the outbound call button and stopped when it is no longer sensed that the passenger presses the outbound call button, so as to obtain the pressing duration.

[0072] In some exemplary embodiments, the call button pressing method is determined by the following method:

[0073] In response to the number of continuous presses on the outbound call button being 1 time, determine that the call button pressing method is the first call button pressing method;

[0074] In response to the number of continuous presses on the outbound call button being i times, determine that the call button pressing method is the i-th call button pressing method; wherein, i is each integer value from 1 to n in sequence, not including 1 and including n, and n is an integer greater than 1.

[0075] The types of call button pressing methods correspond one-to-one with the different numbers of continuous presses on the outbound call button. There are as many types of call button pressing methods as there are corresponding numbers of continuous presses on the outbound call button.

[0076] In some exemplary embodiments, the elevator system includes multiple elevator cars, and the multiple elevator cars can be called through the external call button. The call information further includes the called floor and the call direction.

[0077] The multiple call response modes include any two or more of the following:

[0078] Select an elevator car from the multiple elevator cars according to the called floor, the call direction, and the operating conditions of the multiple elevator cars, and control the selected elevator car to respond to the external call request;

[0079] Control the designated elevator car to respond to the external call request. Some of the multiple elevator cars are the designated elevator cars.

[0080] Control the elevator car to respond to the external call request, and set the door closing mode of the elevator car responding to the external call request to delayed closing;

[0081] Control at least two elevator cars to respond to the external call request.

[0082] Among them, the operating conditions of the multiple elevator cars can refer to the operating states and relative positions of the multiple elevator cars. Among them, the operating states include normal or faulty. Selecting an elevator car from the multiple elevator cars according to the called floor, the call direction, and the operating conditions of the multiple elevator cars is the existing elevator response mode.

[0083] Exemplarily, the designated elevator car can refer to an elevator car in a specific position among the multiple elevator cars. For example, the easternmost elevator car among the multiple elevator cars, or for another example, the westernmost two elevator cars among the multiple cars; it can also refer to an elevator car with a specific function among the multiple elevator cars. For example, an elevator car dedicated to loading goods among the multiple elevator cars, or for another example, an elevator car with a larger capacity that can carry more people among the multiple elevator cars.

[0084] When there are many passengers waiting for the elevator on any floor, any passenger on this floor can control the call response mode through the external call button to: set the door closing mode of the elevator car responding to the external call request to delayed closing, so as to fully ensure the safety of the passengers entering the elevator car and prevent the elevator car door from clamping the passengers entering the elevator car when closing.

[0085] When there are many passengers waiting for the elevator on any floor, any passenger on this floor can control the call response mode through the external call button to: at least two elevator cars respond to the external call request, so as to ensure that there are enough elevator cars for the passengers on this floor to board.

[0086] In some exemplary embodiments, the call information further includes the called floor and the call direction;

[0087] The multiple call response modes include:

[0088] Selecting one elevator car from multiple elevator cars according to the called floor, the call direction, and the running conditions of multiple elevator cars, and controlling the selected elevator car to respond to the external call request;

[0089] And setting the door closing mode of the elevator car responding to the external call request to delayed closing.

[0090] Exemplarily, selecting one elevator car from multiple elevator cars according to the called floor, the call direction, and the running conditions of multiple elevator cars is an existing elevator response mode. When passengers on any floor need to carry a large amount of goods into the elevator car, they can control the call response mode through the external call button as: the existing elevator response mode and setting the door closing mode of the elevator car responding to the external call request to delayed closing, so as to ensure that the carried goods can smoothly enter the elevator car without being clamped by the car door.

[0091] When there are many passengers on any floor who need to board the elevator car, any passenger on this floor can control the call response mode through the external call button as: the existing elevator response mode and setting the door closing mode of the elevator car responding to the external call request to delayed closing, so as to ensure that all passengers on this floor can smoothly enter the elevator car without being clamped by the car door.

[0092] In some exemplary embodiments, when the multiple call response modes include: a call response mode of controlling a specified elevator car to respond to the external call request, the specified elevator car refers to the elevator car leading to the specified floor.

[0093] Exemplarily, the specified floor may refer to the floor where the underground garage floor is located, or the top floor, or any one floor in the building, or any multiple floors in the building. When the specified floor is the floor where the underground garage is located, if passengers on any floor want to go to the underground garage, they can control the call response mode of the elevator car leading to the underground garage to respond to the external call request through the external call button, so as to ensure that the passenger can smoothly reach the underground garage through the elevator car to be boarded, and avoid the situation that the passenger requests an elevator car that does not lead to the underground garage.

[0094] In some exemplary embodiments, before determining the call elevator information corresponding to the external call elevator request, the control method further includes: determining whether the external call elevator request is valid, and in response to the external call elevator request being valid, performing the step of determining the call elevator information corresponding to the external call elevator request.

[0095] For each external call elevator request, it is necessary to determine whether the external call elevator request is valid. If it is invalid, it means that the external call elevator request may be some disruptive behavior, and the step of determining the call elevator information corresponding to the external call elevator request is not performed.

[0096] In some exemplary embodiments, the validity of the external call elevator request is determined by at least one of the following methods:

[0097] The number of consecutive presses does not exceed the maximum press count threshold set for the external call elevator request;

[0098] The time interval between the external call elevator request and the previous external call elevator request is greater than the time interval threshold; wherein, the previous external call elevator request refers to the previous external call elevator request with the same requested floor and direction as the external call elevator request, and the time interval refers to the time interval between the start time of the call elevator press of the external call elevator request and the end time of the call elevator press of the previous external call elevator request.

[0099] Exemplarily, the maximum press count threshold can be the maximum number among the different consecutive press counts corresponding to all call elevator press methods. When the maximum press count threshold is the maximum number among the different consecutive press counts corresponding to all call elevator press methods, since different consecutive press counts correspond to different call elevator press methods, and thus correspond to different call elevator response modes, when the number of consecutive presses exceeds the maximum number among the different consecutive press counts corresponding to all call elevator press methods, there is no corresponding call elevator press method, and thus there is no corresponding call elevator response mode. Therefore, it is determined that the external call elevator request is invalid.

[0100] Exemplarily, the time interval threshold can refer to the minimum press time interval set between different external call elevator requests, and different external call elevator requests refer to two different adjacent external call elevator requests for the same button. That is to say, if the subsequent external call elevator request is to be determined as valid, the time interval between the subsequent external call elevator request and the previous external call elevator request needs to be greater than the time interval threshold, otherwise the subsequent external call elevator request is determined as invalid. Among them, the time interval between the subsequent external call elevator request and the previous external call elevator request can refer to the time interval between the first press of the subsequent external call elevator request and the last press of the previous external call elevator request.

[0101] In some exemplary embodiments, the method further includes: after an effective outside call elevator request occurs, determining an elevator call response mode according to the elevator call method of this outside call elevator request, and controlling the operation of the elevator car according to the determined elevator call response mode, during the response to this outside call elevator request, if an outside call elevator request triggered by the same call button is received again, the following processing is performed:

[0102] If it is determined that the received outside call elevator request is effective and the elevator call method is different from that of the previous outside call elevator request, respond to the received outside call elevator request, and control the operation of the elevator car according to the elevator call response mode corresponding to the elevator call method of the received outside call elevator request.

[0103] Exemplarily, when there are two or more groups of passengers going in different directions on any floor (each group of passengers includes at least one passenger), any customer in the first group of passengers initiates an outside call elevator request on this floor and requests an elevator call method, and any customer in the second group of passengers requests another elevator call method (different from the elevator call method requested by the first group of passengers) on this floor. As long as the outside call elevator request initiated by the second group of passengers is effective, the outside call elevator request initiated by the second group of passengers will still be responded to, and the operation of the elevator car will be controlled according to the elevator call response mode corresponding to the request method of the second group of passengers; similarly, the corresponding method is also used to judge the outside call elevator requests initiated by subsequent passengers.

[0104] An embodiment of the present disclosure also provides a control device for elevator operation, which is applied to an elevator system. The elevator system includes:

[0105] A memory and a processor, the memory is configured to store an executable program;

[0106] The processor is configured to read and execute the executable program to implement the control method for elevator operation as described in any embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0107] The control device for elevator operation provided by the embodiment of the present application can determine the elevator call response mode corresponding to the elevator call method of the outside call elevator request when the outside call elevator request is initiated by presetting the corresponding relationship between multiple elevator call methods and multiple elevator call response modes, and control the operation of the elevator car with the determined elevator call response mode, so as to realize the diversified control of the elevator.

[0108] An embodiment of the present disclosure also provides an elevator system, as Figure 3 shown, including: 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 control method for elevator operation as described in any embodiment of the present disclosure when an outside call elevator request is generated on any floor.
