Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of elevator control, and in particular to an intelligent VIP elevator system and an operation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Elevators are the most efficient means of transportation between floors in a building. Generally speaking, elevators are open to use and respond equally to all elevator requests in a unified dispatching manner. They cannot be treated differently based on special people or things. This results in the inability to meet certain elevator requests that require rapid response and special services, such as emergency elevators, elevators for special personnel such as VIPs, etc. For these special elevator scenarios, it is often necessary for the elevator to arrive at the departure floor in advance to wait for the passengers. After the passengers enter the elevator car, the elevator directly arrives at the destination floor without responding to other internal and external call stop requests.

[0003] Some elevators have VIP interfaces, but they have a single function. Usually, a switch is provided. When needed, the elevator can be put into a special operation mode by manually operating the switch to enable VIP passengers to take the elevator. After the VIP passengers take the elevator, the switch is manually operated to restore the elevator to normal mode. The entire process requires manual participation, which is very inconvenient.

[0004] Some elevators also provide interfaces to implement VIP elevator rides for data from the interfaces. After receiving the relevant data, the elevator shields the call to the departure floor, automatically goes to the destination floor after opening and closing the door normally, and exits the VIP mode after arriving at the destination floor. This method partially solves the problem of the elevator operating in the special elevator mode after receiving the signal, but in this mode, after the corresponding car arrives at the departure floor and stops and opens the door, it closes the door and goes to the destination floor, regardless of whether the corresponding passenger has entered the car. This results in the passenger either not making an appointment in advance, which will result in the passenger arriving at the elevator lobby in advance but the car has not arrived yet, and the passenger needs to wait for the elevator, which cannot fully achieve the purpose of the special elevator arriving in advance and waiting for people; or the passenger makes an appointment in advance, which will result in the passenger not arriving in time when the car arrives at the departure floor, and the car leaves the departure floor and goes to the destination floor before the relevant personnel enter, causing the passenger to be unable to take the elevator. In other words, it cannot achieve the purpose of the passenger making an appointment in advance and not going to the destination floor until the person to be waited for enters after the elevator arrives. Moreover, these functions usually need to be provided by the elevator manufacturer through special modifications to the elevator system itself. Adding special functions often requires a lot of hardware or software upgrades to the elevator system itself, involving high modification and maintenance costs. Many elevators are even unable to achieve these functions through modifications and upgrades to the elevator system itself.

[0005] It should be noted that the information disclosed in the above background technology section is only used for understanding the background of the present application, and therefore may include information that does not constitute prior art known to ordinary technicians in the field. Summary of the invention

[0006] The main purpose of the present invention is to overcome the defects existing in the above-mentioned background technology and provide an automatic intelligent VIP elevator system and an operation method thereof.

[0007] To achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions: In a first aspect of the present invention, an automatic intelligent VIP elevator system includes an elevator system and an installation system, wherein the installation system includes: Run the scheduler to receive special elevator ride requests and schedule the entire special elevator ride process; A task receiving mechanism, for receiving and identifying a special elevator ride request, and sending the special elevator ride request to the operation dispatcher, wherein the special elevator ride request directly or indirectly includes a departure floor and a destination floor and optional passenger identity information or time information required for the passenger to arrive and enter the elevator; An outbound call shielding mechanism is used to execute outbound call shielding or release instructions from the operation scheduler, and shield the outbound call boarding request of the elevator in the dedicated elevator mode; Internal call collection and control mechanism, used to receive instructions from the operation dispatcher, shield or release the internal call request in the elevator car, simulate the internal call button operation to control the car to go to the departure floor or destination floor, and collect the completion status of the elevator internal call task; The door opening and closing control mechanism is equipped for elevators that do not use special operation mode switches to shield outbound calls, and is used to receive the door opening and closing instructions of the operation dispatcher to control the opening and closing of the car door; The state detection mechanism is used to detect the current floor and door opening and closing status of the car, and transmit the state information to the operation dispatcher; The start confirmation mechanism is used to identify and confirm or infer that the waiting passenger has entered the elevator car through the passenger identity information or arrival time in the special elevator ride request, and send a start signal to the operation dispatcher to start the elevator car to go to the destination floor; Among them, after receiving a legitimate special elevator ride request, the operation dispatcher enables at least one elevator to enter the special elevator mode, shields the external call request through the external call shielding mechanism, shields the internal call request through the internal call collection and control mechanism, and simulates the internal call operation through the internal call collection and control mechanism to make the car go to the departure floor. At the departure floor, for the elevator that does not use the special operation mode switch to shield the external call, the car door is controlled to open through the switch door control mechanism. For the elevator that uses the special operation mode switch to shield the external call, the car door is controlled to open through the special operation switch of the elevator to wait for the passenger to enter. After receiving the signal from the start confirmation mechanism confirming or inferring that the passenger has entered the car, the car door is controlled to close, and the internal call operation of the destination floor is simulated through the internal call collection and control mechanism to start the car to go to the destination floor. After the task is completed, the special elevator mode is exited and the normal operation state of the elevator is restored.

[0008] In a second aspect of the present invention, an intelligent VIP elevator system includes an elevator system and an installation system, wherein the installation system includes: Run the scheduler to receive special elevator ride requests and schedule the entire special elevator ride process; A task receiving mechanism, for receiving and identifying a special elevator ride request, and sending the special elevator ride request to the operation dispatcher, wherein the special elevator ride request directly or indirectly includes a departure floor and a destination floor and optional passenger identity information or time information required for the passenger to arrive and enter the elevator; The outbound call shielding mechanism is used to execute the outbound call shielding or release command from the operation dispatcher, shield the outbound call request of the elevator in the dedicated elevator mode, and simulate the outbound call button operation to control the car to go to the departure floor or destination floor; Internal call collection and control mechanism, used to receive instructions from the operation dispatcher, shield or release the internal call request in the elevator car; The door opening and closing control mechanism is equipped for elevators that do not use special operation mode switches to shield outbound calls, and is used to receive the door opening and closing instructions of the operation dispatcher to control the opening and closing of the car door; The state detection mechanism is used to detect the current floor and door opening and closing status of the car, and transmit the state information to the operation dispatcher; The start confirmation mechanism is used to identify and confirm or infer that the waiting passenger has entered the elevator car through the passenger identity information or arrival time in the special elevator ride request, and send a start signal to the operation dispatcher to start the elevator car to go to the destination floor; Among them, after receiving a legitimate special elevator ride request, the operation scheduler enables at least one elevator to enter the special elevator mode, shields the external call request through the external call shielding mechanism, shields the internal call request through the internal call collection and control mechanism, and simulates the external call button operation from the departure floor through the external call shielding mechanism to make the car go to the departure floor. On the departure floor, for the elevator that does not use the special operation mode switch to shield the external call, the car door is controlled to open through the switch door control mechanism. For the elevator that uses the special operation mode switch to shield the external call, the car door is controlled to open through the special operation switch of the elevator to wait for the passenger to enter. After receiving the signal from the start confirmation mechanism confirming or inferring that the passenger has entered the car, the car door is controlled to close, and the external call shielding mechanism simulates the external call button operation from the destination floor to start the car to go to the destination floor. After the task is completed, the special elevator mode is exited and the normal operation state of the elevator is restored.

[0009] The second aspect of the present invention is different from the first aspect in that the internal call collection and control mechanism of the first aspect, in addition to shielding or releasing the internal call request for taking the elevator in the special elevator mode, also has the ability to simulate the internal call button operation to control the car to go to the departure floor or destination floor, while the external call shielding mechanism of the second aspect, in addition to shielding the elevator external call request in the special elevator mode, also has the ability to simulate the external call button operation.

[0010] In a third aspect of the present invention, an intelligent VIP elevator system includes an elevator system and an installation system, wherein the installation system includes: Run the scheduler to receive special elevator ride requests and schedule the entire special elevator ride process; A task receiving mechanism, for receiving and identifying a special elevator ride request, and sending the special elevator ride request to the operation dispatcher, wherein the special elevator ride request directly or indirectly includes a departure floor and a destination floor and optional passenger identity information or time information required for the passenger to arrive and enter the elevator; The outbound call shielding mechanism is used to execute the outbound call shielding or release command from the operation dispatcher, shield the outbound call request of the elevator in the dedicated elevator mode, and simulate the outbound call button operation to control the car to go to the departure floor or destination floor; Internal call collection and control mechanism, used to receive instructions from the operation dispatcher, shield or release the internal call request in the elevator car, simulate the internal call button operation to control the car to go to the departure floor or destination floor, and collect the completion status of the elevator internal call task; The door opening and closing control mechanism is equipped for elevators that do not use special operation mode switches to shield outbound calls, and is used to receive the door opening and closing instructions of the operation dispatcher to control the opening and closing of the car door; The state detection mechanism is used to detect the current floor and door opening and closing status of the car, and transmit the state information to the operation dispatcher; The start confirmation mechanism is used to identify and confirm or infer that the waiting passenger has entered the elevator car through the passenger identity information or arrival time in the special elevator ride request, and send a start signal to the operation dispatcher to start the elevator car to go to the destination floor; Among them, after receiving a legitimate special elevator ride request, the operation scheduler enables at least one elevator to enter the special elevator mode, shields the internal call request through the internal call collection and control mechanism, shields the external call request through the external call shielding mechanism, and simulates the external call button operation from the departure floor through the external call shielding mechanism to make the car go to the departure floor, or simulates the internal call operation through the internal call collection and control mechanism to make the car go to the departure floor. On the departure floor, for elevators that do not use a special operation mode switch to shield external calls, the car door is controlled to open through the switch door control mechanism. For elevators that use a special operation mode switch to shield external calls, the car door is controlled to open through the elevator special operation switch to wait for the passengers to enter. After receiving the signal from the start confirmation mechanism confirming or inferring that the passengers have entered the car, the car door is controlled to close, and the external call button operation from the destination floor is simulated through the external call shielding mechanism, or the internal call collection and control mechanism simulates the internal call operation of the destination floor, and the car is started to go to the destination floor. After the task is completed, the special elevator mode is exited and the normal operation state of the elevator is restored.

[0011] The third aspect of the present invention is different from the first and second aspects in that the internal call collection and control mechanism and the external call shielding mechanism both have the above-mentioned capabilities accordingly, providing an implementation method that can selectively or in combination use the internal call collection and control mechanism and the external call shielding mechanism to control the elevator to the departure floor or destination floor. This method allows the system to have more operating options when processing special elevator requests, and can choose a suitable method to control the operation of the elevator according to actual conditions, whether through simulating internal call operations or external call operations, or a combination of the two, to achieve effective control of the elevator in the special elevator mode.

[0012] In a fourth aspect of the present invention, a method for operating an intelligent VIP elevator system is provided, the method comprising: Generate a special elevator ride request, wherein the special elevator ride request directly or indirectly includes a departure floor, a destination floor, and optional passenger identity information or time information required for the passenger to arrive and enter the elevator; In response to a special elevator ride request, at least one elevator is activated to enter a special elevator mode, in which the elevator's outbound call request and inbound call request are shielded; Make the elevator automatically go to the departure floor; After the elevator reaches the departure floor, it automatically opens the car door and keeps it open to wait for the corresponding passengers to enter; The passenger's identity information or arrival time in the special elevator ride request is used to identify or infer that the passenger has entered the elevator car, so that the elevator automatically closes the door and goes to the destination floor; After the elevator detects that it has reached the destination floor and automatically opens the door, the internal and external calls are blocked, the special elevator mode is exited, and the elevator resumes responding to ordinary boarding requests such as external and internal calls.

[0013] The present invention has the following beneficial effects: The intelligent VIP elevator system of the present invention achieves multiple technical advantages and improves the efficiency and safety of elevator services by adding an intelligent control system to the original elevator system. The system can automatically and efficiently identify and respond to special elevator requests such as VIP and emergency, and has no effect on the structure and control method of the elevator system itself. The installation of the system is simple and low-cost, and any elevator can be equipped with the elevator function without the need for elevator manufacturers to modify it. When the intelligent VIP elevator system is in operation, after receiving the elevator request, the internal call and external call elevator request are shielded, so that the elevator enters the elevator mode and quickly goes to the departure floor. After arriving at the departure floor and waiting for the corresponding elevator passengers to enter, it goes directly to the destination floor without stopping in the middle. After the designated elevator task is completed, it automatically exits the fast elevator mode and returns to the normal operation mode. The operation process is fully automated, without manual intervention, which greatly improves the convenience of elevator use. In addition, the automatic operation of the system is combined with the identity authentication mechanism to ensure that only after a specific elevator passenger enters the car, the elevator will automatically start to the destination floor, effectively preventing misstart and interference from other personnel, and has strong intelligence and safety. These features enable the present invention to not only improve the operating efficiency of the elevator, but also enhance the ability to respond to specific elevator riding needs, providing users with a safer and more convenient elevator service experience.

In the description of the embodiments of the present invention, the meaning of "plurality" is two or more, unless otherwise clearly and specifically defined.

[0024] See also Figure 1 , an embodiment of the present invention provides an intelligent VIP elevator system, including an elevator system and an additional system. The additional system includes an operation scheduler, a task receiving mechanism, an external call shielding mechanism, an internal call collection and control mechanism, a door opening and closing control mechanism, a status detection mechanism, and a start confirmation mechanism. It should be noted that such structural composition and division are for the convenience of description and understanding. The recombination and splitting under this structure, as long as it essentially constitutes the functions of each part of the system, such variation also falls within the scope of protection of this application.

[0025] The operation dispatcher receives the special elevator ride request and dispatches the entire special elevator ride process. The task receiving mechanism receives and identifies the special elevator ride request, and sends the special elevator ride request to the operation dispatcher. The special elevator ride request directly or indirectly includes the departure floor and the destination floor and the optional passenger identity information or the time information required for the passenger to arrive and enter the elevator. The outbound call shielding mechanism executes the outbound call shielding or release instruction from the operation dispatcher, and shields the elevator outbound call ride request in the special elevator mode. The internal call collection and control mechanism receives the instruction of the operation dispatcher, shields or releases the internal call ride request in the elevator car. The door opening and closing control mechanism receives the door opening and closing instruction of the operation dispatcher to control the opening and closing of the car door. The state detection mechanism detects the current floor and the door opening and closing state of the car, and transmits the state information to the operation dispatcher. The start confirmation mechanism identifies and confirms that the waiting passenger has entered the car through the passenger identity information or arrival time in the special elevator ride request, and sends a start signal to the operation dispatcher to start the car to go to the destination floor. At the same time, the installation system also realizes simulated key operation through the external call shielding mechanism and / or the internal call collection and control mechanism to control the car to go to the departure floor or the destination floor, which can be specifically in the following ways: In one embodiment, the internal call collection and control mechanism simulates the internal call button operation to control the car to go to the departure floor or the destination floor, and collects the completion status of the elevator internal call task. In this embodiment, after receiving a legitimate special elevator ride request, the operation scheduler enables at least one elevator to enter the special elevator mode, shields the internal call request through the internal call collection and control mechanism, shields the external call request through the external call shielding mechanism, and simulates the internal call operation through the internal call collection and control mechanism to make the car go to the departure floor. At the departure floor, for elevators that do not use a special operation mode switch to shield external calls, the door opening control mechanism controls the car door to open. For elevators that use a special operation mode switch to shield external calls, the special operation switch of the elevator controls the car door to open to wait for the passengers to enter. After receiving the signal from the start confirmation mechanism confirming or inferring that the passengers have entered the car, the car door is controlled to close, and the internal call collection and control mechanism simulates the internal call operation of the destination floor to start the car to go to the destination floor. After the task is completed, the special elevator mode is exited and the normal operation state of the elevator is restored. In this embodiment, it is only necessary to configure the internal call collection and control mechanism to simulate the required key operation to control the elevator car to go to the departure floor or the destination floor.

[0026] In another embodiment, the outbound call shielding mechanism simulates the outbound call button operation to control the car to go to the departure floor or the destination floor. In this embodiment, after receiving a legitimate special elevator ride request, the operation scheduler enables at least one elevator to enter the special elevator mode, shields the internal call request through the internal call collection and control mechanism, shields the outbound call request through the outbound call shielding mechanism, and simulates the outbound call button operation from the departure floor through the outbound call shielding mechanism to make the car go to the departure floor. On the departure floor, for elevators that do not use a special operation mode switch to shield the outbound call, the door switch control mechanism controls the car door to open. For elevators that use a special operation mode switch to shield the outbound call, the elevator special operation switch controls the car door to open to wait for the passengers to enter. After receiving the signal from the start confirmation mechanism confirming or inferring that the passengers have entered the car, the car door is controlled to close, and the outbound call shielding mechanism simulates the outbound call button operation from the destination floor to start the car to go to the destination floor. After the task is completed, the special elevator mode is exited and the normal operation state of the elevator is restored. The difference from the above-mentioned embodiment is that, in this embodiment, it is only necessary to configure the outbound call shielding mechanism to simulate the required key operation to control the elevator car to go to the departure floor or the destination floor.

[0027] In another embodiment, the internal call collection and control mechanism is used to simulate the internal call button operation to control the car to go to the departure floor or the destination floor, and collect the completion status of the elevator internal call task; the external call shielding mechanism is used to simulate the external call button operation to control the car to go to the departure floor or the destination floor. In this embodiment, after receiving a legitimate special elevator ride request, the operation scheduler enables at least one elevator to enter the special elevator mode, and can shield the internal call request through the internal call collection and control mechanism, shield the external call request through the external call shielding mechanism, and simulate the external call button operation from the departure floor through the external call shielding mechanism to make the car go to the departure floor, or can also simulate the internal call operation through the internal call collection and control mechanism to make the car go to the departure floor. At the departure floor, for elevators that do not use a special operation mode switch to shield external calls, the car door is controlled to open through the switch door control mechanism. For elevators that use a special operation mode switch to shield external calls, the car door is controlled to open through the special operation switch of the elevator to wait for the passengers to enter. After receiving the signal from the start confirmation mechanism confirming that the passengers have entered the car, the car door is controlled to close. The external call shielding mechanism can simulate the external call button operation from the destination floor, or the internal call collection and control mechanism can simulate the internal call operation of the destination floor to start the car to go to the destination floor. After the task is completed, the special elevator mode is exited and the normal operation state of the elevator is restored. The difference from the aforementioned embodiment is that, in this embodiment, both the internal call collection and control mechanism and the external call shielding mechanism are configured to simulate the required key operations, so that for the registration of the departure floor and the destination floor, the internal call collection and control mechanism or the external call shielding mechanism or a combination of the two can be arbitrarily selected to simulate the required key operations, so as to achieve the effect of controlling the car to go to the departure floor or the destination floor.

[0028] The intelligent VIP elevator system of the present invention significantly improves the flexibility and response speed of elevator services by adding an intelligent control system to the elevator system itself, especially for elevator requests that require quick response, such as emergency and VIP services. The system can receive and identify elevator requests, automatically block other elevator requests, and enable the elevator to quickly switch to the elevator mode and go directly to the designated departure floor. After the elevator passenger enters the car, the system ensures that the elevator goes directly to the destination floor without stopping, thereby greatly reducing the waiting time and improving the pertinence of the service. After the designated elevator task is completed, the fast elevator mode can be automatically exited and returned to the normal operation mode. In addition, the installation method of the intelligent control system is widely applicable to any elevator, without the need for special modification by the elevator manufacturer, reducing the upgrade cost and complexity. The entire service process is carried out automatically without manual intervention, which improves efficiency and reduces the possibility of human error. By combining identity authentication technology, the system can start running only after confirming the identity of the elevator passenger, enhancing security and preventing unauthorized personnel from misoperating. These technical advantages together constitute the core innovation of the present invention, providing an efficient, safe and convenient solution for elevator services in modern buildings.

[0029] The specific embodiments of the present invention are further described below.

[0030] System composition

[0031] like Figure 1 As shown, the system includes an operation scheduler, a task receiving mechanism, an outbound call shielding mechanism, an inbound call collection and control mechanism, the elevator system itself, a status detection mechanism, and an optional door opening and closing detection and control mechanism, and a start confirmation mechanism.

[0032] Run Scheduler

[0033] The operation dispatcher (hereinafter referred to as the dispatcher) is responsible for the dispatch of the entire special elevator riding process, and is respectively connected to the task receiving mechanism, the external call shielding mechanism, the internal call collection and control mechanism, the door opening and closing control mechanism, and the start confirmation mechanism; when receiving the special elevator riding task through the task receiving mechanism, it issues instructions to the external call shielding mechanism and the internal call collection and control mechanism to let them shield the external call and internal call elevator riding requests, and at the same time, according to the departure floor of the special elevator riding request, it issues instructions to the internal call collection and control mechanism to simulate pressing the internal call button corresponding to the departure floor on the elevator internal call board to make the car go to the departure floor, or, it issues instructions to the external call shielding mechanism to simulate pressing the external call button from the departure floor to make the car go to the departure floor; the dispatcher also checks the operation status of the car through the status detection mechanism and the internal call collection and control mechanism, and finds that the car has reached the departure floor After that, the door opening control mechanism or the special operation switch of the elevator is used to stop the car at the departure floor and keep the door open, waiting for the special elevator passengers to enter; when the start confirmation mechanism detects that the special elevator personnel have entered the car and the elevator can be started to go to the destination floor, the start signal is sent to the dispatcher, and the dispatcher simulates pressing the internal call button corresponding to the destination floor to the elevator internal call board through the internal call collection and control mechanism, or simulates pressing the external call button from the destination floor to the elevator external call panel control circuit through the external call shielding mechanism, and at the same time, the car closes the door and automatically goes to the destination floor through the door opening and closing control mechanism or the special operation switch of the elevator; after the dispatcher checks that the car has arrived at the destination floor through the status detection mechanism and the internal call collection and control mechanism, it sends instructions to the external call shielding mechanism and the internal call collection and control mechanism to let the elevator resume responding to external calls and internal calls and return to normal operation.

[0034] Mission receiving agency

[0035] It is used to receive and identify various special elevator requests, and optionally make a legality judgment. After judging that the identity of the elevator passenger is legal, the elevator request is sent to the dispatcher. It may include peripheral devices such as floor selection keyboard, card reader, biometric identifier, etc.; the special elevator request directly or indirectly contains the departure floor, destination floor and optional identity of the elevator passenger, the time required to arrive and enter the elevator, etc.; the departure floor can be input through the corresponding equipment of the task receiving agency, and it can also be automatically mapped out through the installation location of the corresponding equipment; the destination floor can be input through the corresponding equipment of the task receiving agency, and it can also be identified by card reading, biometric identification and other equipment. The corresponding identity of the elevator passenger can then be calculated to determine which floors he or she usually goes to.

[0036] Status detection mechanism

[0037] The status detection mechanism is mainly used to detect the current floor of the corresponding car, the door opening and closing status and other information, which can be transmitted to the dispatcher; the current floor of the car can be measured by wireless ranging and other methods, and the distance from the car to a fixed point can be measured and calculated; the door opening and closing status can be achieved by adding magnets, Hall sensors, travel switches, etc. to the elevator car door.

[0038] Outbound call blocking mechanism

[0039] The outside call shielding mechanism is usually installed near the landing call panel on each floor, or near the special operation mode (driver, special, manual, etc.) switch provided by the elevator. Its function is to receive instructions from the dispatcher to shield or release the inside call request in the elevator car.

[0040] For elevators that can provide special operating mode switches such as driver, dedicated, and manual, the outbound call shielding mechanism is connected to the elevator by connecting the switch G1 (such as a relay) and the special operating mode switch T1 in parallel. The connection method is as follows: Figure 2 Use a switch such as a relay to send an on / off signal to the elevator to make the elevator enter / exit the special operation mode. After entering the special operation mode, the elevator will not respond to all outbound calls that have been registered but not completed, as well as those registered subsequently, until the special operation mode is exited.

[0041] For elevators that cannot provide special operating mode switches such as drivers, the outbound call shielding mechanism is generally connected to the outbound call panel on each floor. The installation principle is as follows Figure 3 As shown. Before installation, when the passenger presses the outbound call button A1, the closing signal of the outbound call button A1 will be transmitted to the elevator's own outbound call panel control circuit, and the elevator can receive the corresponding outbound call request and respond. After installation, the connection between the outbound call button A1 and the elevator outbound call panel control circuit is disconnected and controlled by the switch S_B1. When the system wants to shield the outbound call request, the control switch S_B1 is disconnected. Even if the passenger presses the outbound call button A1, the corresponding closing signal cannot be transmitted to the elevator outbound call panel control circuit, so the elevator will not respond to the call. The system thus shields the outbound call signal; when the system wants to restore the normal operation of the elevator, the control switch S_B1 is closed, and the elevator's outbound call button A1 and the elevator outbound call panel are restored to the connected state. At this time, the elevator can normally receive the passenger's call signal. In some cases, the outbound call shielding mechanism also has an outbound call control and voltage detection circuit composed of a switch S_A1 and a voltage detection device IN_L1. At this time, the outbound call registration signal can be simulated to the elevator outbound call panel control circuit through the switch S_A1, and the voltage detection device IN_L1 connected to the two ends of the outbound call indicator light D1 can detect the voltage difference between the two ends of the indicator light sent by the elevator outbound call panel control circuit to determine whether the outbound call indicator light D1 is lit, and then determine whether there is an outbound call stop task on the corresponding floor.

[0042] Internal call collection and control mechanism

[0043] The internal call collection and control mechanism is generally installed on the relevant elevator car internal call board accessories. Its function is to receive the dispatcher command and complete the following functions: 1) shield or release the elevator car internal call request; 2) simulate the floor registration signal sent to the elevator's own internal call board; 3) collect the completion status of the registered internal call tasks in the car. Its principle is as follows Figure 4 shown.

[0044] Before installation, when the passenger presses the internal call floor selection button A2, the closing signal of the internal call floor selection button A2 will be transmitted to the elevator's own internal call panel control circuit, and the elevator can receive the corresponding internal call request and respond. After installation, the connection between the elevator's internal call floor selection button A2 and the elevator's internal call panel control circuit is disconnected and controlled by switches S_A2 and S_B2. When the system wants to shield the internal call request, the control switch S_B2 is disconnected. Even if the passenger presses the internal call button, the corresponding closing signal cannot be transmitted to the elevator's internal call panel control circuit, so the elevator will not respond to the call. The system thus shields the internal call signal; when the system wants to restore the normal operation of the elevator, the control switch S_B2 is closed, and the elevator's internal call button and the elevator's internal call panel control circuit are restored to the connected state. At this time, the elevator can receive the passenger's request normally. Normal floor selection signal; at the same time, even when the internal call is shielded (switch S_B2 is disconnected), the system can simulate the passenger pressing the floor selection button by controlling the switch S_A2 to close, so as to make the elevator go to the corresponding floor; in addition, after the internal call signal acquisition and control mechanism is installed, the two ends of the elevator's internal call floor selection button indicator light D2 are also connected to the voltage detection device IN_L2. The voltage detection device IIN_L2 determines whether the internal call floor selection button indicator light D2 is lit by detecting the voltage difference at both ends of the indicator light sent by the elevator internal call board, and then determines whether there is an internal call stop task on the corresponding floor.

[0045] Door opening and closing control mechanism

[0046] The door opening and closing control mechanism usually includes a controllable switch G2 such as a relay, and the schematic diagram is shown in FIG. Figure 5 As shown, the switch G2 is connected in parallel with the two ends of the door opening and closing button A3 in the car. The mechanism simulates the pressing and releasing of the door opening and closing button by controlling the on and off of the switch G2, thereby realizing the opening and closing control of the elevator door.

[0047] Start confirmation agency

[0048] The start confirmation mechanism is used to automatically calculate or receive the information of the elevator starting to go to the destination floor. After receiving the legal information, it will send the start signal to the dispatcher, and the dispatcher will make the elevator exit the stop floor, open the door and wait for the passengers to enter the state, and start the elevator to go to the destination floor. The start confirmation mechanism can be a device that can determine whether the relevant special elevator passengers have entered the car, such as biometrics, card reading, personal password collection, private equipment (such as mobile phones), etc., or a receiving device for special signals sent by a designated device, or a countdown device, which sends a start signal to the dispatcher when the time is up.

[0049] Workflow

[0050] 1. Generate a special elevator ride request, which directly or indirectly includes: the departure floor, the destination floor, and related information that can be used to infer and confirm that the passenger has entered the elevator car.

[0051] The task receiving mechanism collects elevator requests through the connected floor selection keyboard, card reader, biometric identifier, mobile phone and other peripheral devices. After receiving the elevator request, it can optionally judge the legality of the collected elevator request. The basis for judgment can be the time of the request, the identity of the elevator passenger, the source of the request and other information. After the judgment is legal, the collected information will be converted into a special elevator request and sent to the dispatcher. The elevator request contains at least the departure floor and the destination floor; as well as the optional identity of the elevator passenger, the time required to arrive and enter the elevator, etc., which can be used to infer and judge the relevant information of the elevator passenger entering the car. The departure floor can be directly collected and sent through peripheral equipment, or indirectly corresponded through the address of the peripheral equipment, etc.; the destination floor can be directly collected and sent through peripheral equipment, or calculated by matching the floor where the passenger lives with the floor identified by the card reader or biometric identifier; the passenger's identity is identified by a card reader or biometric identifier, or by a personal device such as a mobile phone that sends the collected information; the time required to reach and enter the elevator can be directly provided by the collection device, or the installation location can be determined according to the address of the collection device, and the time required to enter the elevator from that location can be calculated accordingly.

[0052] 2. Select at least one elevator to enter the dedicated elevator mode and block the external and internal calls of the elevator.

[0053] The special elevator request will be sent to the dispatcher. The dispatcher can designate an elevator in advance for the special elevator, or select the appropriate elevator from multiple elevators to respond immediately. When the elevator mode is selected immediately, the dispatcher can also return the elevator number of the selected elevator to the corresponding peripheral device that has collected the special elevator request through the task receiving mechanism to remind the passengers to take the elevator accurately. After the dispatcher selects the elevator, it sends an instruction to the elevator's external call shielding mechanism to shield the elevator's external call request. The shielding methods are shielding using the elevator's special operation switch signal and shielding by adding an external call control circuit; the dispatcher also sends an instruction to the selected elevator's internal call collection and control mechanism to shield the elevator's internal call request. For the special operation switch signal of the elevator to achieve external call shielding, due to the elevator's own characteristics, one of the elevators can also be selected from a group of elevators in the group control, leaving the group control mode, and becoming an independent operation to achieve the special elevator mode.

[0054] 3. Make the selected elevator automatically go to the departure floor.

[0055] After the dispatcher makes the selected elevator enter the special elevator mode, it can collect the on and off status of each internal call selection button indicator through the internal call collection and control mechanism to determine whether there are passengers in the car and register their destination floors. If the dispatcher finds that the internal call selection button indicator is on, it can wait for the elevator to deliver all passengers in the car to the corresponding destination floor, that is, all the internal call selection button indicators are off.

[0056] After the dispatcher detects that the timing is met, it simulates the registration of the outside call or the internal call button according to the departure floor in the special elevator request, so that the selected car goes to the departure floor: for elevators that use the installation of an outside call control circuit to achieve outside call shielding, the dispatcher can send instructions to the outside call shielding mechanism, that is, the installed outside call control circuit, to simulate the registration of the outside call button corresponding to the departure floor. The elevator direction is inferred from the departure floor and the destination floor, so that the corresponding car goes to the departure floor; for elevators that use the special elevator operation switch to achieve outside call shielding, after shielding the outside call, the actual elevator itself no longer responds to any outside call button signal, but the elevator will still respond to the internal call button, so the dispatcher can send instructions to the internal call collection and control mechanism, so that the internal call collection and control mechanism simulates the registration of the departure floor button signal to the elevator internal call board, so that the corresponding car goes to the departure floor.

[0057] 4. After the selected elevator car reaches the departure floor, the car door will automatically open and remain open, waiting for the designated elevator passengers to enter.

[0058] For elevators that go to the departure floor by registering internal calls, the dispatcher collects the status of the internal call selection button indicator light corresponding to the departure floor through the internal call collection and control mechanism; for elevators that go to the departure floor by registering external calls, the dispatcher collects the status of the external call button indicator light corresponding to the corresponding direction of the departure floor through the external call control circuit; the dispatcher also detects the door status of the corresponding car through the status detection mechanism; when the dispatcher collects the corresponding indicator light from light to dark, and detects the car door opening signal within a certain time range of this event, it can be inferred that the car has run to the departure floor and opened the door to wait for passengers to enter. Furthermore, in order to improve the accuracy of the detection, the dispatcher also detects the current floor position of the car through the status detection mechanism, and detects that the corresponding indicator light changes from light to dark, and detects that the car door is open within a certain time range of this event, and the current floor of the car is the departure floor, then it is considered that the car has reached the designated departure floor and opened the door. If only the corresponding indicator light is detected to change from on to off, and the other two conditions are not met, it can be considered that the registered departure floor is accidentally cancelled. The dispatcher can re-issue instructions to simulate the registration of the relevant buttons of the departure floor again to ensure that the elevator will go to the departure floor.

[0059] After the dispatcher detects that the car has reached the departure floor and opened the door, it will keep the car parked at the departure floor and keep the car door open to wait for passengers to enter. For elevators with special operation switch functions, the elevator will generally keep the door open after stopping; for elevators without special operation switch functions, the dispatcher will send instructions to the door control mechanism to simulate pressing the door opening button continuously or in a certain sequence to keep the car door open.

[0060] 5. After detecting or inferring that a passenger has entered, the elevator will automatically close its door and proceed to the destination floor.

[0061] 1) After the dispatcher stops the car at the departure floor and opens the door, it sends relevant information to the start confirmation mechanism to let the start confirmation mechanism start detecting or inferring whether the passenger has entered the car: If the special elevator request information directly or indirectly includes the time required for the passenger to arrive and enter the elevator car, the start confirmation mechanism may start timing after receiving the special elevator request. If the timing time is found to have expired after the elevator arrives at the departure floor, stops and opens the door, and reaches the natural closing time of the elevator door, it is considered that the waiting passenger has entered the elevator car; For the identity information of the passengers directly or indirectly included in the special elevator request information, the initiating confirmation agency can use biometrics, card reading, personal password collection, information sent by private devices (such as mobile phones), etc. to identify the identity information corresponding to the collected information, and compare it with the identity information in the special elevator request. If the comparison results match, it is considered that the waiting passenger has entered the elevator car; If the elevator request does not contain the above information, the start confirmation mechanism can consider that the waiting passenger has entered the elevator car by receiving the confirmation signal sent by the specific legal equipment; or after the door is opened for a fixed time, it is considered that the waiting passenger has entered the elevator car.

[0062] 2) After the start confirmation mechanism detects or infers that the passenger has entered the elevator car, it sends a start message to the dispatcher.

[0063] 3) After receiving the start information, the dispatcher will make the elevator exit the open door maintenance state and close the door automatically; at the same time, according to the destination floor information contained in the special elevator request information, the dispatcher will let the internal call collection and control mechanism simulate pressing the internal call button corresponding to the destination floor, or let the external call shielding mechanism simulate pressing the external call button from the destination floor, so that the elevator can go to the destination floor.

[0064] To prevent pinching, the system gives priority to using the elevator's built-in automatic door closing mechanism to exit the door open state: For the use of an additional outbound call control circuit to shield outbound calls, the dispatcher only needs to send a command to the door opening and closing control mechanism to simulate the release of the door opening key, so that the elevator can automatically exit the door opening state, close the door and go to the registered destination floor; For the use of the special operation switch of the elevator to shield outbound calls, the dispatcher needs to send a command to the outbound call shielding mechanism to temporarily simulate the release of the special operation switch of the elevator, so that the elevator exits the special operation mode and automatically closes the door. When the status detection mechanism detects that the door is fully closed, the dispatcher sends a command to the outbound call shielding mechanism to simulate the closing of the special operation switch of the elevator to let the elevator re-enter the special operation mode, and at the same time register the internal call destination floor button to let the elevator run to the destination floor. During this process, if necessary, the door closing button can also be used to ensure the normal operation of the mechanism.

[0065] 6. After the selected elevator car reaches the destination floor and opens its door automatically, the elevator automatically exits the dedicated elevator mode and resumes responding to ordinary elevator requests such as external calls and internal calls. The task is completed.

[0066] The dispatcher collects the status of the internal call selection button indicator corresponding to the destination floor through the internal call collection and control mechanism or collects the status of the external call button indicator corresponding to the destination floor through the external call shielding mechanism; the dispatcher also detects the door status of the corresponding car through the status detection mechanism; when the dispatcher collects the corresponding indicator light from light to dark, and detects the car door opening signal within a certain time range of this event, it can be inferred that the car has run to the destination floor and opened the door. Further, in order to improve the accuracy of the detection, the dispatcher also detects the current floor position of the car through the status detection mechanism, and detects that the corresponding indicator light changes from light to dark, and detects that the car door is open within a certain time range of this event, and the current floor of the car is the destination floor, then it is considered that the car has reached the designated departure floor and opened the door. If only the corresponding indicator light is detected to change from light to dark, and the other two conditions are not met, it can be considered that the registered destination floor is accidentally cancelled, and the dispatcher can re-issue instructions to simulate the registration of the relevant buttons of the destination floor again to ensure that the elevator will go to the destination floor.

[0067] When it is detected that the car has reached the destination floor, the dispatcher sends a command to the corresponding elevator's external call shielding mechanism to ask it to quit shielding external call requests for taking the elevator: the exit shielding method is divided into using the elevator's special operation switch signal and adding an external call control circuit method; the dispatcher also sends a command to the corresponding elevator's internal call collection and control mechanism to ask it to quit shielding internal call requests for taking the elevator. When the elevator exits the internal call and external call shielding, it exits the dedicated elevator mode and returns to the normal operation mode.

[0068] In summary, the present invention provides an intelligent VIP elevator system and its operation method, which can significantly improve the elevator's response efficiency to special elevator requests, such as emergency and VIP services. The system can automatically identify and respond to special elevator requests, shield non-special elevator requests, control the elevator to quickly reach the departure floor, and directly reach the destination floor after the elevator passenger enters. The system is widely applicable to all elevators, does not require special modification by elevator manufacturers, realizes full-process automated operation, and improves service efficiency and safety. The identity authentication mechanism ensures that only authorized elevator passengers can start the elevator, enhancing system security. The innovation of the present invention provides a more efficient, safe and convenient solution for elevator services in modern buildings.
