Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of elevator control, and in particular to a scheduling optimization method and system for multiple elevators. Background Art

[0002] Elevator aggregation refers to the grouping of multiple independent physical elevators into a logically unified elevator resource set. Elevator aggregation optimizes building communication and other aspects, enabling centralized management and flexible allocation of elevator resources. Backup escalators manage occupants by establishing emergency response plans on multiple backup servers. Regular elevators are integrated into elevator resource sets for logical management. This management approach allows for efficient management of regular elevators when the number of elevators is small, ensuring efficient access to each elevator.

[0003] In some related technologies, in order to meet the current demand for high-flow and high-efficiency movement of personnel, the current increase in elevator data and number has made it difficult for the elevator collection to manage each elevator. When a large number of people on the server need to enter the elevator, the elevator collection cannot call enough elevators for efficient scheduling according to the current scenario, which will increase the time for people to enter the elevator, reduce efficiency and affect the progress of the task; a large number of people entering the elevator may also cause elevator abnormalities, and the abnormal state of the elevator cannot be updated in time, which will affect the continuity of the task. If multiple elevators appear at the same time, people cannot be transported. Summary of the Invention

[0052] References herein to "embodiments" mean that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with the embodiments may be included in at least one embodiment of the present invention. The appearance of this phrase in various places in the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor does it constitute a separate or alternative embodiment that is mutually exclusive of other embodiments. It is understood, both explicitly and implicitly, by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein may be combined with other embodiments.

[0053] Specifically, such as Figure 1 As shown, a scheduling optimization method for multiple elevators is provided. The method is applied to a high-rise building complex as an example for explanation. The high-rise building complex includes a set of elevators for carrying passengers, and the elevator set includes at least one spare escalator. In this embodiment, the spare escalator is selected and scheduled as a floor elevator. The method includes the following steps:

[0054] Step 101: Based on a received passenger boarding request, passenger characteristics of regular elevators in the elevator set are collected.

[0055] To improve the efficiency of elevator sets for transporting large passenger volumes, a sub-elevator set is established during the initial establishment of the elevator set, and conventional elevators are scheduled for the sub-elevator set to ensure that passengers are transported via the sub-elevator set. The specific process involves the controller sending a task instruction to the elevator set after the elevator set is established in the floor elevator terminal. The floor elevator terminal then receives the task instruction and collects passenger characteristics of the conventional elevators in the elevator set and feeds this back to the controller. Collecting passenger characteristics of the conventional elevators in the elevator set specifically includes: calculating the passenger load factor of the conventional elevators in the elevator set, where the passenger load factor of the conventional elevator is equal to the ratio of the current number of passengers in the conventional elevator to the maximum number of passengers in the conventional elevator; collecting the passenger load factors of all conventional elevators in the elevator set and recording them in descending order based on the passenger load factors to obtain passenger characteristics of the conventional elevators.

[0056] Step 102: Associate the passenger characteristics of the conventional elevator with the spare escalator to obtain the passenger load rate of the spare escalator associated with the conventional elevator.

[0057] Specifically, the method includes associating the passenger load rate of each conventional elevator with the spare escalator associated with the conventional elevator to obtain the passenger load rate of each conventional elevator in the spare escalator; and comprehensively calculating the passenger load rate of each conventional elevator in the spare escalator to obtain the passenger load rate of the spare escalator.

[0058] In this embodiment, the floor elevator terminal collects the passenger load factor of the conventional elevators in the elevator set and feeds this value back to the controller terminal, which then calculates the passenger load factor for each conventional elevator in the elevator set. After the calculation is completed, the controller internally counts the passengers of each conventional elevator according to the passenger load factor, thereby obtaining passenger characteristics of the conventional elevators. The passenger load factor of each conventional elevator is obtained and associated with the associated floor elevator to obtain the passenger load factor of each conventional elevator in the floor elevator. The passenger load factor of each conventional elevator in the floor elevator is then combined to obtain the passenger load factor of each floor elevator block.

[0059] Step 103: Based on the passenger load rate of the standby escalator, select standby escalators that meet the threshold conditions to form a sub-elevator set, and use the sub-elevator set to board passengers.

[0060] After obtaining the standby escalator passenger load rate, the standby escalators are recorded from largest to smallest according to the standby escalator passenger load rate to obtain a standby escalator sequence; the current idle escalator numbers of the standby escalators in the standby escalator sequence are collected in sequence, and the current idle escalator numbers of the standby escalators are summed to obtain the total number of escalators; the threshold value of the number of escalators to be dispatched in the high-rise building complex is collected, and when the total number of escalators exceeds the escalator number threshold value, it is determined that the standby escalator meets the threshold condition.

[0061] Among them, the threshold value of the escalator number threshold value needs to be scheduled according to the specific scenario of the high-rise building complex, specifically, the threshold value of the number of standby escalators allowed for failure of the high-rise building complex is collected, and the threshold value of the standby escalators allowed for failure and idleness associated with the threshold value of the number of standby escalators allowed for failure is calculated; the threshold value of the number of escalators to be scheduled is set to be higher than the threshold value of the number of escalators allowed for failure and idleness, so as to ensure that the established sub-elevator set can meet the transportation needs of the current passengers when the elevators on other floors fail.

[0062] Furthermore, after determining that the spare escalator meets the threshold condition, the identifier of the last spare escalator in the total number of escalators is obtained; the spare escalator associated with the first identifier in the spare escalator sequence is dispatched to the spare escalator associated with the last identifier as the selected spare escalator; passengers on the selected spare escalator are reminded to go to other spare escalators, and the selected spare escalators are combined to obtain the sub-elevator set.

[0063] In this embodiment, elevators on associated floors are selected in descending order according to the passenger load rate, and the current idleness of the elevators on the selected floors is collected. The current idle escalator counts of the elevators on the floors are merged and calculated. After the merging is completed, the sum of the escalator counts of the elevators on the current floor is obtained until the sum of the escalator counts exceeds the escalator count threshold value. For example, the merging is performed from the first block of floor elevators with the lowest saturation, and then merged into the second block of floor elevators with the second highest saturation. When the sum of the escalator counts obtained when merging into the fifth block of floor elevators is higher than the escalator count threshold value, the first to fifth blocks of floor elevators are set as sub-elevator set floor elevators, and the constructed sub-elevator set is obtained.

[0064] It should be noted that before using the selected sub-elevator set to update the passengers, the escalator number elevator set of the current passenger disk is initialized by reminding the passengers in the sub-elevator set to other passenger disks, so that the escalator number of the sub-elevator set is reset.

[0065] Furthermore, the elevator set also includes a main elevator set, which is associated with the sub-elevator set and occupies different areas in the elevator set respectively. Before the sub-elevator set is actually used, the sub-elevator set sends an escalator number monitoring and identification signal to the main elevator set, so that passengers in the sub-elevator set can be checked, and the check characteristics are obtained, and the check characteristics are recorded in the current sub-elevator set; and passengers in the sub-elevator set other than those with the check characteristics are reminded to go to the main elevator set, so that the escalator number of the sub-elevator set is reset to the initial escalator number.

[0066] After the sub-elevator set is established, an establishment completion signal is sent to the controller end. The controller end receives the establishment completion signal and sends the sub-elevator set establishment completion signal to the server end. The server end sends the task passengers to be updated to the floor elevator end. At this time, the controller of the floor elevator end will give priority to updating the passengers to other elevator sets other than the sub-elevator set. At the same time, the monitoring identifies the status of the standby escalators and determines that all the standby escalator states are valid. At this time, a device valid indication is sent to the controller. After receiving the device valid indication, the route overlapping mode of the sub-elevator set is set to be suspended, and all regular elevators in the sub-elevator set are set to receive passengers. All regular elevators in the sub-elevator set are scheduled to perform pressurization operations to ensure that the regular elevators in the sub-elevator set are at the highest reading and writing efficiency, so as to maximize the efficiency of updating passengers through the coordinated cooperation of the main elevator set and the sub-elevator set in the elevator set.

[0067] It should be noted that when the server side determines that the processing of the passengers in the current task is completed, it sends an end instruction to the control side. At this time, the controller side stops the conventional elevator pressurization operation and realizes that the passengers have been evenly updated in each conventional elevator in the main elevator set or sub-elevator set.

[0068] Step 104: Collect the number of passengers for tasks to be processed in the high-rise building complex, and adjust the number of escalators in the sub-elevator assembly according to the number of passengers for tasks to be processed.

[0069] For different task scenarios, the number of task passengers to be scheduled is different. In order to make the coordinated update of the main elevator set and the sub-elevator set in this embodiment applicable to subsequent task passengers, before receiving the next task passenger, the number of escalators of the elevator set is first judged. If the number of escalators is insufficient, the number of escalators of the elevator set is increased, specifically including: after reminding the passengers other than the verification features in the sub-elevator set to go to the main elevator set, calculating the time it takes for the passengers to enter the elevator under the condition of the escalator number threshold value; if the time it takes for the passengers to enter the elevator meets the threshold time, setting the number of escalators of the sub-elevator set to the escalator number threshold value; if the time it takes for the passengers to enter the elevator does not meet the threshold time, setting the number of escalators of the sub-elevator set to increase.

[0070] For example, before receiving the next task passenger, after adjusting the passenger reminder in the sub-elevator set to the main resource, the number of escalators in the current elevator set is reset to the initial number of escalators, that is, the current elevator set only has the amount occupied by the verification feature.

[0071] Wherein, if the time length for passengers to enter the elevator does not meet the threshold time length, the number of escalators in the sub-elevator set is set to be increased, specifically including collecting the threshold time length required for passengers for the next task based on the updated verification feature of the number of escalators in the sub-elevator set and the above-set escalator number threshold value; if the required time length for passengers to enter the elevator exceeds the threshold time length, the sub-elevator set is increased, specifically including collecting the spare escalators associated with other spare escalator numbers in the spare escalator sequence in sequence according to the current spare escalator number in the sub-elevator set, and calculating the sum of the number of escalators of the added other spare escalators and the number of escalators in the current sub-elevator set in sequence, and calculating the sum of the number of escalators for each spare escalator added until the time length for passengers to enter the elevator in the sub-elevator set meets the threshold time length, and then the increase of the sub-elevator set is deemed completed.

[0072] Step 105: When the standby escalator fails, the sub-elevator set is set to replace the failed standby escalator.

[0073] At the same time, the current idleness of the faulty spare escalator is collected, and the sub-elevator set is set to schedule replacement idleness with the same number of escalators as the current idleness. The replacement idleness is used to record the faulty passengers associated with the current idleness.

[0074] In this embodiment, when at least one elevator on a floor of a high-rise building complex fails, a sub-elevator set is set up to replace the elevator on the failed floor. The controller calculates the idle passengers in the elevator on the failed floor, and sends the passengers to the sub-elevator set after the calculation is completed. After the sub-elevator set receives the idle passengers of the current passengers, it dispatches the idle elevators with the same number of passengers in the sub-elevator set to take over the passengers of the elevator on the failed floor, so as to ensure that the subsequent update task work is carried out effectively after the replacement is completed.

[0075] In a specific embodiment, when a floor elevator failure occurs, in order to avoid the loss of passengers due to the failure state of the floor elevator, the passengers are recovered through the updated passengers in the sub-elevator set, which specifically includes: collecting the number M of spare escalators of the failure, and adjusting the sub-elevator set to M; collecting all the passengers associated with the spare escalators of the failure and integrating them to obtain the overall passengers, collecting all the spare escalators of the failure and integrating them to obtain the faulty elevator set; setting the overall passengers to be equally divided into M, and setting the faulty passengers to be adjusted to M+1; setting the M+1 passengers to be associated with M sub-elevator sets and the faulty elevator set respectively; and based on receiving the request to divert passengers, diverting passengers through the passengers in the sub-elevator set and the faulty elevator set.

[0076] Furthermore, based on receiving a request for diverting passengers, the faulty standby escalator is stopped and replaced with a valid standby escalator; the M passengers in the sub-elevator set are checked to obtain the diverted passengers associated with the faulty standby escalator.
