Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to an elevator and a vehicle control technology system, and in particular to a control system for realizing comprehensive control of elevators and vehicles. Background Art

[0002] Elevators, which are used as vertical transportation tools within buildings, and cars, which are used as horizontal transportation tools between different locations, are increasingly widely used in people's daily lives. People often drive into a parking lot, take an elevator to their destination floor after parking, then take an elevator from the destination floor to the floor where the car is located, and drive out of the parking lot. Therefore, driving a car (or parking a car) and taking an elevator are often two activities that are connected to each other, which makes driving a car (or parking a car) and taking an elevator have a certain correlation, which provides the possibility and demand for the linkage control of cars and elevators. At present, some existing technologies have noticed the problem of linkage control between cars and elevators, for example:

[0003] Document 1 (CN202110966868.7) discloses an elevator calling system for a car, which is actually a remote elevator calling system based on a mobile terminal, so that passengers can complete the floor call and destination floor registration in the car at a place far away from the elevator (such as in a car); Document 1 requires the driver to manually operate the mobile terminal to register the elevator call signal, and does not take into account the distance between the passenger's place far away from the elevator (such as in a car) and the elevator lobby and the moving time required for the driver to move to the elevator lobby and other car information. Therefore, it fails to achieve true linkage control of the car and the elevator. Its solution is essentially an elevator calling system based on a mobile terminal, and does not involve the core issue of linkage control of the car and the elevator.

[0004] Document 2 (CN201410091038.4) discloses an elevator wireless call registration device in which the driver uses the internal wireless transmitter of the car remote control key to send a wireless data packet containing key instructions corresponding to the elevator up / down instructions. The wireless base station receives and identifies the key instructions from the wireless data packet, and then converts it into an elevator up / down registration signal and registers the elevator call signal for the driver. Document 2 essentially only uses the car remote control key to replace the mobile terminal as a registration device for the elevator call signal. Obviously, it also does not involve the core issue of the linkage control of the car and the elevator.

[0005] Document 3 (CN202210934326.6) discloses an elevator control method based on the position of a car, including obtaining the real-time position of the target car, generating a first elevator call instruction when the target car is detected to have arrived at the target position, responding to the first elevator call instruction, calling the elevator to the target floor, and the like. The method determines that an elevator call instruction for calling the elevator to the target floor is issued to the elevator according to the position of the car, so that the elevator can go to the target floor in the process of the passengers of the target car getting off and going to the elevator entrance, without the need for the passengers of the target car to get off and go to the elevator entrance and then press the elevator call button to call the elevator, thereby reducing the waiting time of the passengers. Obviously, the method essentially uses the position information of the car (estimates the passenger movement time of the passengers from getting off the car to the elevator and uses the passenger movement time) to determine a reasonable elevator call signal registration time, and uses the car information to control the elevator, and does not involve using the elevator information to determine the car.

[0006] Document 4 (CN202310327735.4) proposes: when it is detected that the car is located in the first position range at the elevator entrance and the stay time is longer than the first preset time, the first direction control instruction of the elevator is triggered; when it is detected that the car drives from the first position range into the second position range in the direction of the elevator entrance and the stay time in the second position range is longer than the second preset time, the second direction control instruction of the elevator is triggered. It automatically triggers the control instruction of the corresponding direction according to the position and moving direction of the car, thereby avoiding the driver from getting off the car to operate the elevator, saving time for getting on the car after triggering, and reducing the risk of the car being clamped or hitting the car. This disclosure is essentially to implement the control of the elevator based on the position and moving direction of the car, and also uses the car information to control the elevator, and does not involve the use of elevator information to determine the car.

[0007] As can be seen from the above, the existing technologies all use car information to implement elevator control, and have not yet involved using elevator information to implement car control. With the continuous development of automobile technology, current cars can receive remote control instructions to perform corresponding functions, such as remotely starting air conditioning, seat heating, etc.; therefore, how to use elevator information to implement reasonable control of cars and how to use passenger information (or also building information) to reasonably implement comprehensive control of elevators and cars has become a technical problem to be solved.

[0030] The control system of the present invention can utilize elevator information to implement reasonable control of vehicles and utilize passenger information to implement reasonable comprehensive control of elevators and vehicles. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0031] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the control system structure of Example 1. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0032] The present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0033] Example 1

[0034] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides a control system, which is respectively connected to the vehicle control system of the vehicle and the elevator control system of the elevator for communication, and performs comprehensive control on the vehicle and the elevator, and the control system includes:

[0035] A receiving module, used for receiving a passenger instruction, wherein the passenger instruction indicates that the passenger will take the elevator and drive a car after leaving the elevator to leave the current building;

[0036] an acquisition module, for acquiring passenger location information of a passenger, vehicle location information of a passenger, elevator operation information, and building information where the passenger and vehicle are located, wherein the passenger location information includes the passenger floor where the passenger is currently located and the passenger plane position of the passenger on the passenger floor, the vehicle location information includes the vehicle floor where the vehicle is located and the vehicle plane position of the vehicle on the vehicle floor, and the building information includes the elevator lobby location information and passage path information on each floor;

[0037] a determination module, for determining the lobby location of a responding elevator that transports passengers from the passenger floor to the vehicle floor;

[0038] an estimating module, configured to estimate the arrival time of the responding elevator when it arrives at the vehicle floor according to the passenger position information and the elevator operation information;

[0039] An elevator command generation module, used to generate an elevator call command for a responding elevator and provide it to the elevator control system;

[0040] The vehicle instruction generation module is used to generate a vehicle control instruction for the vehicle according to a predetermined function that the passenger wants the vehicle to perform before the passenger gets on the vehicle and provide it to the vehicle control system.

[0041] Example 2

[0042] This embodiment further describes the determination module in detail based on the embodiment 1.

[0043] When there is only one elevator lobby in a building and all elevators are located in the elevator lobby (usually, the elevators in the same elevator lobby are under the control of the same group management system. Of course, the elevators in the same elevator lobby may be divided into several groups, and the elevators in different groups are under the control of different group management systems), the positions of all elevators in each floor plan of the building are the same; when there are multiple elevator lobbies distributed in different locations in the building, and the elevators in the building are scattered in elevator lobbies at different locations, the elevators in the same elevator lobby have the same position in the floor plan, and the elevators in different elevator lobbies have different positions in the floor plan.

[0044] When a plurality of elevator groups dispersed in different locations are configured in the building, the determination module determines the elevator lobby position of the responding elevator according to the following steps:

[0045] Step 1: Determine the factors that affect passengers’ elevator experience;

[0046] Step 2: Establishing evaluation indicators including the influencing factors;

[0047] Step 3: Calculate the evaluation indexes for different elevators respectively;

[0048] Step 4: The elevator corresponding to the best evaluation index is used as the responding elevator, and the elevator lobby position of the responding elevator is further determined according to the building information.

[0049] The influencing factors include at least one of the following factors:

[0050] Element 1, the length of the travel path between the passenger plane location and the elevator lobby of the corresponding elevator in the passenger floor;

[0051] Element 2, the congestion of the passage between the passenger plane location and the elevator lobby of the corresponding elevator in the passenger floor;

[0052] Element 3, the time interval from the arrival time of the passenger at the elevator lobby in the passenger floor to the said arrival time;

[0053] Element 4, the length of the passage path between the elevator lobby of the responding elevator in the vehicle floor and the vehicle plan position;

[0054] Element 5, the congestion of the passage path between the elevator lobby of the responding elevator in the vehicle floor and the vehicle plane position;

[0055] Element 6: The passenger comfort of the responsive elevator during the period when the elevator moves from the passenger floor to the vehicle floor.

[0056] Wherein, when the evaluation index established in step 2 includes multiple influencing factors, the evaluation index is the weighted sum of each influencing factor.

[0057] In order to provide passengers with definite response elevator information, the control system also includes:

[0058] The feedback module is used to provide feedback information to the passenger, wherein the feedback information includes the elevator lobby position of the response elevator at the passenger floor or the identification information of the elevator group to which the response elevator belongs. The feedback module here usually provides feedback information to the passenger with the help of the passenger's mobile terminal, that is, with the help of the passenger's mobile terminal.

[0059] When there is only one elevator lobby in the building and all elevators are located in the elevator lobby, the determination module determines the corresponding elevator in a similar manner as when there are multiple elevator groups dispersed in different locations in the building, except that the influencing factors only include factor 3 and factor 6.

[0060] Example 3

[0061] This embodiment further describes the elevator instruction generating module in detail based on the above embodiment.

[0062] The elevator instruction generation module estimates the passenger arrival time when the passenger arrives at the elevator lobby of the responding elevator on the passenger floor according to the travel path between the passenger plane position and the responding elevator; the elevator instruction generation module estimates the elevator stop time when the responding elevator moves from its current position toward the passenger floor and stops at the passenger floor according to the operation information of the responding elevator; the elevator instruction generation module generates an elevator call instruction for the responding elevator at the elevator instruction generation time and provides it to the elevator control system, and the elevator instruction generation time satisfies the following conditions at the same time:

[0063] Condition 1: The responding elevator can stop at the passenger floor and move in the direction the passenger expects to take the elevator after starting;

[0064] Condition 2: The passenger arrival time is no later than the elevator stop time.

[0065] Specifically, the elevator instruction generation module estimates the deceleration point moment when the responding elevator moves from its current position to the deceleration point corresponding to the passenger floor according to the operation information of the responding elevator; and ensures that the responding elevator can stop at the passenger floor by making the elevator instruction generation moment earlier than the deceleration point moment.

[0066] Example 4

[0067] This embodiment further explains the vehicle command generation module in detail based on the above embodiment.

[0068] In this embodiment, the vehicle instruction generation module estimates the function execution time from the moment the vehicle receives the vehicle control instruction to the moment the predetermined function is completed; the vehicle instruction generation module determines the boarding position of the passenger after leaving the elevator and getting into the vehicle according to the predetermined function; the vehicle instruction generation module determines the vehicle instruction time according to the arrival time of the response elevator arriving at the vehicle floor, the function execution time and the passenger's boarding position, and generates a vehicle control instruction for the vehicle at the determined vehicle instruction time and provides it to the vehicle control system.

[0069] Specifically, according to the passenger's boarding location, the boarding location includes the following situations:

[0070] Scenario 1: the boarding position is the plane position of the vehicle;

[0071] Scenario 2: The boarding location is the elevator lobby of the responding elevator.

[0072] Example 5

[0073] This embodiment further describes the situation 1 in the embodiment 4 in detail.

[0074] For scenario 1, the preset function is a function that needs to be completed by the vehicle before the passenger gets on the vehicle. The vehicle instruction generation module determines the vehicle instruction time according to the following steps:

[0075] Step S1, using the building information to plan a passenger movement path for a passenger moving from the elevator lobby position of the responding elevator to the vehicle plane position;

[0076] Step S2, estimating the passenger movement time required for the passenger to move from the elevator lobby position of the responding elevator to the vehicle plane position according to the passenger movement path;

[0077] Step S3, estimating the passenger arrival time at the vehicle planar position according to the arrival time and the passenger travel time;

[0078] Step S4, determining the vehicle command time according to the passenger arrival time and the function execution time, wherein the vehicle command time is earlier than the passenger arrival time and the time interval between the vehicle command time and the passenger arrival time is not less than the function execution time.

[0079] The following uses Example 1 as an example to illustrate Situation 1.

[0080] Example 1: Assume that a passenger is currently on the 8th floor of a shopping mall and has finished shopping. He wants to take the elevator from the 8th floor down to the B1 floor where the parking garage is located, then leave the elevator and go to the location of his car so that he can drive out of the shopping mall and go home. Considering that it is not summer yet and the temperature is high, in order to avoid the initial stage of excessively high and unsuitable temperature when starting the vehicle and turning on the air conditioner after getting in the car, it is hoped that an appropriate air conditioning start-up time can be determined to start the vehicle air conditioner. Starting the air conditioner at this air conditioning start-up time can, on the one hand, make the temperature in the car just reach the passenger's expected temperature after the passenger arrives at the car location and gets in the car, and on the other hand, it will not start the air conditioner in the car too early, resulting in unnecessary energy waste.

[0081] In order to achieve the above objectives, the control system of the present application, after receiving a demand instruction from a passenger (e.g., hoping that the temperature inside the car after getting on the car is 18°), obtains the vehicle's location information and the passenger's current location information, and then determines that the passenger will take the elevator from the 8th floor to the B1 floor; obtains the building information and the elevator operation information, and determines the response elevator that the passenger will take; determines the appropriate elevator call time based on the passenger's current location and the response elevator information (the location information of the response elevator in the floor plane and the response elevator operation information), and sends the elevator call signal (including the departure floor and the destination floor, i.e., the 8th floor and the B1 floor) to the elevator control system at the elevator call time; estimates the air conditioning control time required to control the temperature inside the car to the desired temperature of 18°, The walking time required for the passenger to walk from the position of the responding elevator on the B1 floor to the parking position of the car and the arrival time of the passenger at the B1 floor by the responding elevator; the arrival time of the passenger to the parking position of the car is determined according to the arrival time of the responding elevator at the B1 floor and the walking time required for the passenger to walk from the position of the responding elevator on the B1 floor to the parking position of the car, and the time obtained in advance by a time not shorter than the air-conditioning control time on the basis of the arrival time is used as the start-up time of the vehicle's air-conditioning; the control system sends a command to the vehicle to start the air-conditioning (and its set temperature of 18°) at the start-up time, so that when the passenger gets on the vehicle, the temperature inside the vehicle has been adjusted to 18°, thereby providing the passenger with a comfortable driving environment.

[0082] Example 6

[0083] This embodiment further describes the situation 2 in the embodiment 4 in detail.

[0084] Case 2 further includes two cases:

[0085] Case 1: The preset function is that the vehicle moves autonomously from the vehicle plane position to the elevator lobby position of the responding elevator;

[0086] Case 2: The preset function includes both the vehicle autonomously moving from the vehicle plane position to the elevator lobby position of the responding elevator, and the function that the vehicle needs to complete before the passengers get on the vehicle (in this case, the boarding location is the position of the responding elevator in the vehicle floor plane).

[0087] For situation 1, that is, when the preset function is that the vehicle moves autonomously from the vehicle plane position to the elevator lobby position of the responding elevator, the function execution time is the vehicle movement time required for the vehicle to move autonomously from the vehicle plane position to the elevator lobby position of the responding elevator; the vehicle instruction generation module determines the vehicle instruction time according to the passenger arrival time and the function execution time.

[0088] The vehicle instruction generation module plans a vehicle movement path for the vehicle to autonomously move from the vehicle plane position to the elevator lobby position of the responding elevator using the building information, and estimates the vehicle movement time required for the vehicle to autonomously move from the vehicle plane position to the elevator lobby position of the responding elevator based on the vehicle movement path. The vehicle instruction generation module takes the passenger arrival time as the starting point, moves a period not shorter than the function execution time in the direction earlier than the passenger arrival time, and uses the corresponding time obtained as the vehicle instruction time.

[0089] For situation 2, that is, when the preset function includes the vehicle autonomously moving from the vehicle plane position to the elevator lobby position of the responding elevator and a function that the vehicle needs to complete before passengers get on the vehicle, the vehicle instruction includes a first vehicle instruction for controlling the vehicle to autonomously move from the vehicle plane position to the elevator lobby position of the responding elevator and a second vehicle instruction for controlling the vehicle to execute the function that the vehicle needs to complete before passengers get on the vehicle.

[0090] For the first vehicle instruction, the vehicle instruction generation module uses the building information to plan the vehicle movement path between the vehicle plane position and the elevator lobby position of the responding elevator, and estimates the vehicle movement time required for the vehicle to move autonomously from the vehicle plane position to the elevator lobby position of the responding elevator based on the vehicle movement path; the vehicle instruction generation module takes the passenger arrival time as the starting point, moves in the direction earlier than the passenger arrival time for a period of time not shorter than the function execution time, and uses the corresponding time obtained as the vehicle instruction time of the first vehicle instruction.

[0091] For the second vehicle instruction, the vehicle instruction generation module takes the arrival time as the starting point, moves a period not shorter than the function execution time in the direction earlier than the arrival time, and uses the obtained corresponding time as the vehicle instruction time of the second vehicle instruction.

[0092] It should be noted that the control system of the present application is usually an application pre-installed in the passenger's mobile terminal, which uses the positioning function of the mobile terminal to determine the passenger's current position (including horizontal position and vertical position, the former is used to determine the plane position of the passenger in the floor, and the latter is used to determine the floor where the passenger is located), uses the communication with the vehicle control system to obtain the vehicle position information from the vehicle (or obtains and saves the vehicle position in advance when the passenger gets off the vehicle), and uses the communication with the elevator control system to obtain the elevator's operation information. The building information can be pre-stored in the memory or obtained from the elevator control system or from the relevant server (such as the public network service provided by the building). The control system of the present application essentially utilizes the temporal sequence relationship between taking the elevator and driving the car in the process of the passenger taking the elevator from the current location and floor of the building to the garage and then driving away, and uses the arrival time of the elevator to the garage (or responds to the elevator's position in the garage) to remotely control the vehicle to achieve the vehicle's predetermined functions, which of course also includes the control of the elevator to achieve the transportation of passengers.

[0093] The present invention has been described in detail above through specific implementation modes and embodiments, but these do not constitute limitations of the present invention. Without departing from the principles of the present invention, those skilled in the art may also make many variations and improvements, which should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention.
