Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of elevator and vehicle control systems, and particularly relates to a control system for realizing comprehensive control of elevators and vehicles. BACKGROUND

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

[0003] Document 1 (CN202110966868.7) discloses a car call system, which is actually an elevator remote call system based on a mobile terminal, so that passengers can complete the landing call and the registration of the destination floor in the car. Document 1 needs the driver to manually operate the mobile terminal to register the call signal, and does not consider the distance between the place far from the elevator (such as the car) where the passenger is and the elevator waiting hall and the moving time required for the driver to move to the elevator waiting hall and other vehicle information, so it cannot realize the real linkage control of vehicles and elevators. The scheme is essentially an elevator call system based on a mobile terminal and does not involve the core problem of the linkage control of vehicles and elevators.

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

[0005] Document 3 (CN202210934326.6) discloses an elevator control method based on vehicle position, including obtaining the real-time position of the target vehicle, generating a first call instruction when detecting that the target vehicle has arrived at the target position, and responding to the first call instruction to call the elevator to the target floor. The steps of the method. By determining the call instruction for calling the elevator to the target floor according to the position of the vehicle, the elevator can go to the target floor during the process of the passenger of the target vehicle getting off the car and going to the elevator entrance. There is no need for the passenger of the target vehicle to go to the elevator entrance after getting off the car and then calling the elevator by pressing the call button, thereby reducing the waiting time of the passenger. Obviously, this method essentially uses the position information of the vehicle (estimates the passenger movement time from getting off the car to the elevator and uses the passenger movement time) to determine a reasonable call signal registration time, which uses vehicle information to control the elevator and does not involve using elevator information to determine the vehicle.

[0006] Document 4 (CN202310327735.4) proposes that in the case where the vehicle is detected to be located at a first position range of the elevator entrance and the stay duration is greater than a first preset duration, a first direction control instruction of the elevator is triggered; in the case where the vehicle is detected to drive into a second position range from the first position range in the direction of the elevator entrance, and the stay duration in the second position range is greater than a second preset duration, a second direction control instruction of the elevator is triggered. According to the position and movement direction of the vehicle, the corresponding direction control instruction is automatically triggered, so that the driver can avoid operating the elevator after getting off the car, save the time after triggering the car, and reduce the risk of the vehicle being jammed or hitting the car. The disclosure essentially controls the elevator based on the position and movement direction of the vehicle, and also uses vehicle information to control the elevator, and does not involve using elevator information to determine the vehicle.

[0007] From the above, the prior art all uses vehicle information to control the elevator, and has not involved using elevator information to control the vehicle. With the continuous development of vehicle technology, current vehicles can receive remote control instructions to perform corresponding functions, such as remotely starting the air conditioner, seat heating, etc. Therefore, how to use elevator information to reasonably control the vehicle and how to use passenger information (or also including building information) to reasonably implement comprehensive control of the elevator and the vehicle have become a technical problem to be solved.

[0029] Beneficial technical effects

[0030] The control system of the present invention can use elevator information to implement reasonable control of vehicles and use passenger information to implement comprehensive control of elevators and vehicles. Attached Figure Description

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

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

[0033] Example 1

[0034] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides a control system that is communicatively connected to both the vehicle control system and the elevator control system, and performs integrated control of the vehicle and the elevator. The control system includes:

[0035] receiving a passenger instruction indicating that the passenger will take an elevator and drive a vehicle to leave the building where the passenger is currently located after getting off the elevator;

[0036] obtaining passenger location information of the passenger, vehicle location information of the vehicle, elevator operation information, and building information where the passenger and the vehicle are located, the passenger location information including a passenger floor where the passenger is currently located and a passenger plane position of the passenger on the passenger floor, the vehicle location information including a vehicle floor where the vehicle is located and a vehicle plane position of the vehicle on the vehicle floor, and the building information including hall location information and passage path information on each floor;

[0041] Embodiment 2

[0042] This embodiment further details the determining module based on Embodiment 1.

[0043] When there is only one hall in the building and all elevators are located in the hall (usually, the elevators in the same hall are under the control of the same group management system, and of course, the elevators in the same hall can 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 the floor plane of the building are the same. When there are multiple halls distributed in different positions in the building, and each elevator in the building is scattered in different halls, the elevators in the same hall have the same position in the floor plane, and the elevators in different halls have different positions in the floor plane.

[0044] When there are multiple elevator groups scattered in different positions in the building, the determining module determines the hall location of the responding elevator according to the following steps:

[0045] Step 1, determine the influencing factors affecting the passenger's elevator experience;

[0046] Step 2, establishing an evaluation index containing the influence factors;

[0047] Step 3, calculating the respective evaluation index for different elevators;

[0048] Step 4, taking the elevator corresponding to the best evaluation index as the response elevator, and further determining the position of the hall of the response elevator according to the building information.

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

[0050] Factor 1, the length of the passage between the passenger plane position and the elevator hall of the response elevator in the passenger floor;

[0051] Factor 2, the congestion degree of the passage between the passenger plane position and the elevator hall of the response elevator in the passenger floor;

[0052] Factor 3, the time interval between the arrival time of the passenger to the elevator hall in the passenger floor and the arrival time;

[0053] Factor 4, the length of the passage between the elevator hall of the response elevator in the vehicle floor and the vehicle plane position;

[0054] Factor 5, the congestion degree of the passage between the elevator hall of the response elevator in the vehicle floor and the vehicle plane position;

[0055] Factor 6, the passenger boarding comfort of the response elevator during the movement from the passenger floor to the vehicle floor.

[0056] When the evaluation index established in Step 2 contains multiple influence factors, the evaluation index is the weighted sum of each influence factor.

[0057] In order to facilitate the provision of response elevator information to passengers, the control system further comprises:

[0058] A feedback module for providing feedback information to passengers, the feedback information including the position of the elevator hall of the response elevator in the passenger floor or the identification information of the elevator group to which the response elevator belongs. The feedback module usually provides feedback information to passengers by means of the mobile terminal of the passenger, that is, by means of the mobile terminal of the passenger.

[0059] When only one hall is configured in the building, and all elevators are located in the hall, the determination module determines the corresponding elevators in a similar manner as when multiple elevator groups are dispersed in different positions in the building, with the difference being that the influence factors only include factor 3 and factor 6.

[0060] Embodiment 3

[0061] This embodiment further details the elevator instruction generation module based on the foregoing embodiments.

[0062] The elevator instruction generation module estimates a passenger arrival time at which the passenger reaches a waiting hall in the passenger floor for the responding elevator according to a same-path route between the passenger plane position and the responding elevator; the elevator instruction generation module estimates an elevator stopping time at which the responding elevator moves from its current position to the passenger floor and stops at the passenger floor according to the running information of the responding elevator; the elevator instruction generation module generates a call instruction for the responding elevator at an elevator instruction generation time and provides it to the elevator control system, the elevator instruction generation time satisfying the following conditions at the same time:

[0063] Condition 1, enabling the responding elevator to stop at the passenger floor and start moving in the passenger expected direction of boarding after stopping;

[0064] Condition 2, enabling the passenger arrival time to be no later than the elevator stopping time.

[0065] Specifically, the elevator instruction generation module estimates a deceleration point time at which the responding elevator moves from its current position to a deceleration point corresponding to the passenger floor according to the running information of the responding elevator; and enables the responding elevator to stop at the passenger floor by enabling the elevator instruction generation time to be earlier than the deceleration point time.

[0066] Embodiment 4

[0067] This embodiment further details the vehicle instruction generation module based on the foregoing embodiments.

[0068] In this embodiment, the vehicle instruction generation module estimates a function execution time between a receiving time at which the vehicle receives the vehicle control instruction and a completion time at which the predetermined function is completed; the vehicle instruction generation module determines a boarding position at which the passenger boards the vehicle after leaving the elevator according to the predetermined function; the vehicle instruction generation module determines a vehicle instruction time according to the arrival time at which the responding elevator arrives at the vehicle floor, the function execution time, and the boarding position of the passenger, 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 boarding position of the passenger, the boarding position includes the following cases:

[0070] Case 1, the boarding position is the vehicle plane position;

[0071] Case 2, the boarding position is a waiting hall position of the responding elevator.

[0072] Embodiment 5

[0073] This embodiment further details the case 1 in embodiment 4.

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

[0075] Step S1, planning a passenger moving path between the position of the waiting hall of the responding elevator and the vehicle plane position of the passenger by using the building information;

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

[0077] Step S3, estimating a passenger arrival time at the vehicle plane position of the passenger according to the arrival time and the passenger moving time;

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

[0079] The case 1 is exemplarily described below by taking example 1 as an example.

[0080] Example 1, assuming that the passenger is currently located on the 8th floor of a shopping center to complete shopping, wants to get on the elevator from the 8th floor to go down to the B1 floor of the parking garage, and then leave the elevator and go to the location of his own car to drive away from the shopping center and go home. Considering that it is not summer at present, the temperature is relatively high, in order to avoid the stage of too high temperature in the initial stage experienced after starting the vehicle and opening the air conditioner after getting on the vehicle, it is hoped to determine a proper air conditioner starting time at which the air conditioner is started, on the one hand, the temperature in the vehicle can reach the expected temperature of the passenger after the passenger gets on the vehicle, on the other hand, the air conditioner in the vehicle will not be started too early to cause unnecessary energy waste.

[0081] To achieve the above object, the control system of the present application, after receiving the demand instruction from the passenger (such as: the passenger hopes that the temperature in the vehicle after getting on is 18°), acquires the position information of the vehicle and the current position information of the passenger, and then determines that the passenger will get on the elevator from the 8th floor to go down to the B1 floor; acquires the building information and the elevator operation information, and determines the responding elevator to be taken by the passenger; determines the appropriate call elevator time according to the current position of the passenger and the responding elevator information (the position information of the responding elevator in the floor plane and the operation information of the responding elevator), and sends the call elevator signal (containing the departure floor and the destination floor, i.e. the 8th floor and the B1 floor) to the elevator control system at the call elevator time; estimates the air conditioning control time required to control the temperature in the vehicle to the expected temperature of 18°, the walking time required for the passenger to walk from the position of the responding elevator at the B1 floor to the parking position of the vehicle, and the arrival time of the responding elevator to arrive at the B1 floor; determines the arrival time of the passenger to walk to the parking position of the vehicle according to the arrival time of the responding elevator to arrive at the B1 floor and the walking time required for the passenger to walk from the position of the responding elevator at the B1 floor to the parking position of the vehicle, and takes the time obtained by advancing the time at the arrival time by no less than the air conditioning control time as the starting time of the vehicle air conditioner; the control system sends the instruction to start the air conditioner (and its set temperature 18°) to the vehicle at the starting time, so that when the passenger gets on the vehicle, the temperature in the vehicle has been adjusted to 18°, thereby providing a comfortable driving environment for the passenger.

[0082] Embodiment 6

[0083] This embodiment further illustrates case 2 in embodiment 4.

[0084] Case 2 further includes two situations:

[0085] Situation 1: the preset function is that the vehicle autonomously moves from the vehicle plane position to the waiting hall position of the responding elevator;

[0086] Situation 2: the preset function includes both that the vehicle autonomously moves from the vehicle plane position to the waiting hall position of the responding elevator, and the function that needs to be completed by the vehicle before the passenger gets on the vehicle (at this time, the getting-on position is the position of the responding elevator in the vehicle floor plane).

[0087] For situation 1, i.e. when the preset function is that the vehicle autonomously moves from the vehicle plane position to the waiting hall position of the responding elevator, the function execution time is the vehicle moving time required for the vehicle to autonomously move from the vehicle plane position to the waiting hall 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 between the vehicle planar position and the hall position of the responding elevator using the building information, and estimates a vehicle movement time required for the vehicle to move from the vehicle planar position to the hall position of the responding elevator according to the vehicle movement path. The vehicle instruction generation module takes the passenger arrival time as a starting point, moves a period not shorter than the function execution time in a direction earlier than the passenger arrival time, and takes a corresponding time obtained as the vehicle instruction time.

[0089] For case 2, i.e. when the preset function includes the vehicle moving from the vehicle planar position to the hall position of the responding elevator and the function that needs to be completed by the vehicle before the passenger gets on, the vehicle instruction includes a first vehicle instruction for controlling the vehicle to move from the vehicle planar position to the hall position of the responding elevator and a second vehicle instruction for controlling the vehicle to execute the function that needs to be completed by the vehicle before the passenger gets on.

[0090] For the first vehicle instruction, the vehicle instruction generation module plans a vehicle movement path between the vehicle planar position and the hall position of the responding elevator using the building information, and estimates a vehicle movement time required for the vehicle to move from the vehicle planar position to the hall position of the responding elevator according to the vehicle movement path; the vehicle instruction generation module takes the passenger arrival time as a starting point, moves a period not shorter than the function execution time in a direction earlier than the passenger arrival time, and takes a 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 a starting point, moves a period not shorter than the function execution time in a direction earlier than the arrival time, and takes a corresponding time obtained 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 program pre-installed in the passenger mobile terminal, which determines the current position of the passenger (including horizontal position for determining the plane position of the passenger in the floor and vertical position for determining the floor where the passenger is) by using the positioning function of the mobile terminal, obtains the vehicle position information from the vehicle by communicating with the vehicle control system (or pre-obtains and saves the vehicle position when the passenger gets off), obtains the running information of the elevator by communicating with the elevator control system, and the building information can be pre-saved in the memory or obtained from the elevator control system or relevant servers (such as public network services provided by the building). The control system of the present application essentially utilizes the time sequence relationship between taking the elevator and driving the car in the process of the passenger taking the elevator from the current position of the building and the floor where the passenger is to the garage and then driving the car to leave, and utilizes the arrival time of the elevator to the garage (or also in response to the position of the elevator in the garage) to remotely control the vehicle to achieve the predetermined function of the vehicle, of course, also including the control of the elevator to achieve the transportation of the passenger.

[0093] The present application has been described in detail through specific embodiments and examples, but these do not constitute a limitation on the present application. Those skilled in the art can also make many modifications and improvements without departing from the principles of the present application, and these should also be considered as falling within the protection scope of the present application.
