Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of elevator group control and scheduling, and in particular to a method and device for dynamic elevator allocation based on multi-dimensional dynamic weights. Background Technology

[0002] When a call box at a floor level sends a call signal, existing elevator group management and control technologies typically dispatch elevators based on minimizing the vertical waiting time. This lacks a comprehensive consideration of factors such as three-dimensional dynamic distance, expected floor, elevator priority, and elevator load status. Elevator dispatching relies solely on vertical waiting time, often resulting in congestion in some elevators while others remain idle, increasing overall passenger waiting time and failing to adapt to real-time changes in building passenger flow. Therefore, designing an elevator dispatching system and method that integrates multiple influencing factors, including three-dimensional dynamic distance, is an urgent problem to be solved. Summary of the Invention

[0003] This application provides a method and device for dynamic elevator dispatching based on multi-dimensional dynamic weights, which solves the technical problem that existing technologies usually rely on the shortest vertical waiting time when generating floor calls, which is too limited by solely depending on the vertical waiting time of the elevator.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this application adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] Firstly, a method for dynamic elevator dispatching based on multi-dimensional dynamic weights is provided, including:

[0006] Construct spatial identification units for floor call boxes and generate three-dimensional coordinate identifiers for each floor call box; wherein, the floor call box is an elevator call panel within a floor;

[0007] Real-time acquisition of elevator operating status to obtain real-time status signals;

[0008] Real-time acquisition of the three-dimensional dynamic distance between the elevator and the call box at each floor;

[0009] The dynamic weighting coefficient is dynamically adjusted based on the passenger flow density of each floor; wherein, the passenger flow density is a quantitative indicator derived from the passenger load and number of stops of each elevator on the floor where the call box is located within a preset time period in the past.

[0010] The elevator's overall priority for the floor call box is calculated based on the three-dimensional coordinate identifier, real-time status signal, three-dimensional dynamic distance, and dynamic weighting coefficient.

[0011] The elevator will respond to the call request based on the overall priority.

[0012] Based on the above technical solution, in the elevator dynamic dispatching method based on multi-dimensional dynamic weight provided in this application, a three-dimensional coordinate identifier is generated for each floor call box, real-time status signals of elevator operation are collected, the three-dimensional dynamic distance between the elevator and the floor call box is obtained and the dynamic weight coefficient is adaptively adjusted, the comprehensive priority of the elevator for the floor call box is calculated according to the comprehensive priority generation unit, and the best elevator is assigned to respond to the call request. Through multi-dimensional dynamic optimization, the waiting time of passengers and the overall energy consumption of the elevator group in complex building scenarios are significantly reduced, while the dispatching efficiency is improved. This solves the problem that elevators rely solely on the vertical direction for waiting time, which usually leads to congestion of some elevators while other elevators are idle, increasing the overall waiting time of passengers and making it difficult to adapt to the real-time changes in passenger flow in the building.

[0013] In conjunction with the first aspect above, in one possible implementation, the three-dimensional coordinate identifier is the spatial information of the call box, and the three-dimensional coordinate identifier adopts a structured data format {f - m,(X f-m ,Y f-m Z f-m )};where, f - m is the call box number, (X) f-m ,Y f-m Z f-m ) represents the three-dimensional spatial coordinates of the call box, f represents the floor number, and m represents the call box number on the same floor; the input methods of the floor call box include: up or down registration button, destination floor registration keyboard, contactless card reader, fingerprint, QR code, voice command or facial recognition.

[0014] In conjunction with the first aspect above, in one possible implementation, the three-dimensional dynamic distance is the sum of the horizontal distance, the vertical height difference, and the detour correction value between the elevator and the landing call box; wherein, the horizontal distance is the Manhattan distance between the elevator and the landing call box; and the detour correction value is the additional distance cost incurred by the elevator due to the detour required to meet the forward service conditions.

[0015] The formula for calculating the three-dimensional dynamic distance is:

[0016] A f-m,n =H f-m,n +V f-m,n +ΔS;

[0017] Among them, H f-m,n V is the horizontal distance between the elevator and the call box. f-m,n ΔS represents the vertical height difference between the elevator and the call box; ΔS is the detour correction value for the elevator to reach the floor where the call box is located.

[0018] In conjunction with the first aspect above, in one possible implementation, the method for obtaining the detour correction value includes:

[0019] Determine whether the elevator meets the conditions for providing service in the forward direction;

[0020] When the forward service conditions are met, the detour correction value is 0;

[0021] When the forward service conditions are not met, if the elevator's current direction of travel does not point to the floor where the call box is located, the detour correction value is n times the vertical height difference between the elevator's current floor and the farthest registered floor in the current direction of travel; if the elevator's current direction of travel points to the floor where the call box is located, but the signal direction of the call box is inconsistent with the elevator's direction of travel, and there is a car registration signal or other call distribution signal in front of the elevator in the current direction of travel on that floor, the detour correction value is n times the vertical height difference between the floor where the call box is located and the farthest registered floor in the current direction of travel; where n is a constant;

[0022] The forward service condition is that the elevator's current running direction is pointing to the floor where the call box is located and the direction of the call signal is consistent with the elevator's current running direction, or there is no car registration signal or other call distribution signal in front of the elevator in the current running direction of the floor.

[0023] In conjunction with the first aspect above, in one possible implementation, the passenger flow density is obtained as follows:

[0024] Through calculation formula The passenger flow density ρ of the f-th floor was calculated. f ;

[0025] Where 1≤f≤K2, N is the number of elevators, and G i M represents the total passenger load weight on the f-th floor during the preset time period of the i-th elevator, K3 represents the rated load weight of the elevator, and M represents the total passenger load weight on the f-th floor during the preset time period. i K2 represents the number of times the i-th elevator stopped at the f-th floor within a preset time period in the past, and K2 represents the total number of floors served by the elevator. The preset time period is set based on research into the elevator's operating characteristics and passenger flow patterns. The time window within the preset time period can reflect the elevator's recent operating status and passenger flow, ensuring the timeliness of the data while avoiding excessive data fluctuations due to the short time period, which could affect the accuracy of passenger flow density calculation. The preset time period can be set manually.

[0026] In conjunction with the first aspect above, in one possible implementation, the dynamic weighting coefficient includes: weighting variables for allocating the three-dimensional dynamic distance, the expected number of floors to stop, the registration signal inside the car, whether it is a priority car, and the current load.

[0027] The dynamic weighting coefficients are obtained as follows:

[0028]

[0029] Among them, w1, w2, w3, and w4 are preset constants that can be manually set, α f The weighting variables for the three-dimensional dynamic distance, β f For the weighted variables of the expected number of floors to stop at, γ f Weighted variables and δ of the signals registered inside the car f The weighted variable for whether a car is a priority car, ε f This is the weight variable for the current load.

[0030] In conjunction with the first aspect above, in one possible implementation, the calculation method for the overall priority of the floor call box is as follows:

[0031]

[0032] in, For elevator n, call boxes for each floor are f - The overall priority of m; Call box f for elevator n to floor f - The three-dimensional dynamic distance of m, For elevator n to reach the floor call box f - The estimated number of floors before floor m, including all stops caused by in-car registration signals and assigned floor call signals. Does the registered signal inside the elevator car of elevator n include the floor call box f? - The value of floor m is 1 when the condition is met, and 0 otherwise. For elevator n, call box f at floor level - Whether floor m is a priority car is determined by a value of 1 or 0. When the elevator is a sightseeing elevator or a VIP elevator, elevator n is marked as a priority car. The value is 1 if it is not 0 otherwise, E n K1 is the maximum three-dimensional dynamic distance from the elevator to the call box of the floor within the elevator group, which is determined by the maximum horizontal span and vertical height of the elevator shaft. K2 is the total number of floors served by the elevator. K3 is the rated load of the elevator.

[0033] In conjunction with the first aspect above, in one possible implementation, the method of responding to the elevator call request based on the comprehensive priority is as follows: traverse the elevators corresponding to the maximum value in the comprehensive priority values ​​and run them to the floor where the call box is located.

[0034] In conjunction with the first aspect above, in one possible implementation, the real-time status signal includes the running direction signal, the current floor signal, the elevator load signal, the car registration signal, the floor call allocation signal, and the floor call signal.

The "and / or" in this document is merely a description of the relationship between related objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, A and / or B can represent: A alone, A and B simultaneously, and B alone. Furthermore, "at least one" means one or more, and "multiple" means two or more. The terms "first," "second," etc., do not limit the quantity or order of execution, and "first," "second," etc., do not necessarily imply differences.

[0048] It should be noted that, in this application, the terms "exemplary" or "for example" are used to indicate that something is being described as an example, illustration, or illustration. Any embodiment or design described as "exemplary" or "for example" in this application should not be construed as being more preferred or advantageous than other embodiments or design solutions. Specifically, the use of terms such as "exemplary" or "for example" is intended to present the relevant concepts in a concrete manner.

[0049] The elevator dynamic dispatching method based on multi-dimensional dynamic weights provided in this application embodiment can be applied to, for example... Figure 1 In the elevator dispatching system 100 shown, such as Figure 1 As shown, the communication system includes: a landing call box, car sensors, and simulation computing equipment.

[0050] Among them, the floor call box is used to construct the spatial identification unit of the floor call box, and to generate a three-dimensional coordinate identifier for each floor call box.

[0051] The car sensor is used to collect the elevator's operating status in real time and obtain real-time status signals; it also acquires the three-dimensional dynamic distance between the elevator and the call box at each landing.

[0052] The simulation calculation device is used to dynamically adjust the dynamic weighting coefficient based on the passenger flow density of each floor. The passenger flow density is a quantitative indicator derived from the passenger load and number of stops of each elevator on the floor where the call box is located within a preset time period. The device calculates the comprehensive priority of the elevator for the call box based on the three-dimensional coordinate identifier, real-time status signal, three-dimensional dynamic distance and dynamic weighting coefficient. The device then dispatches the elevator to respond to the call request according to the comprehensive priority.

[0053] To address the limitation of existing technologies that rely solely on the shortest vertical waiting time when generating floor calls, this application provides a multi-dimensional dynamic weighting-based elevator dynamic allocation method. This method includes: constructing spatial identification units for floor call boxes and generating three-dimensional coordinate identifiers for each floor call box; real-time acquisition of elevator operating status to obtain real-time status signals; real-time acquisition of the three-dimensional dynamic distance between the elevator and the floor call boxes; and dynamically adjusting dynamic weighting coefficients based on passenger flow density at each floor. The passenger flow density is based on the passenger flow density at each floor within a preset time period. The system quantifies the passenger load and number of stops of each elevator at the floor where the call box is located. Based on the three-dimensional coordinate identifier, real-time status signal, three-dimensional dynamic distance, and dynamic weight coefficient, it calculates the comprehensive priority of the elevator for the call box at the floor. According to the comprehensive priority, the assigned elevator responds to the call request. Based on this, the waiting time of passengers and the overall energy consumption of the elevator group are reduced in complex building scenarios. At the same time, the scheduling efficiency is improved, which solves the problem that elevators rely solely on the vertical direction for waiting time, which usually leads to some elevators being congested while others are idle, increasing the overall waiting time of passengers and making it difficult to adapt to the real-time changes in passenger flow within the building.

[0054] like Figure 2 As shown in the figure, an elevator dynamic dispatching method based on multi-dimensional dynamic weights provided in this application includes:

[0055] S201. Construct spatial identification units for floor call boxes and generate three-dimensional coordinate identifiers for each floor call box.

[0056] The floor call box is the elevator call panel inside the floor.

[0057] In some implementations, the three-dimensional coordinate identifier is the spatial information of the call box, and the three-dimensional coordinate identifier adopts the structured data form {f - m,(X f-m ,Y f-m Z f-m )};where, f - m is the call box number, (X) f-m ,Y f-m Z f-m ) represents the three-dimensional spatial coordinates of the call box, f represents the floor number, and m represents the call box number on the same floor.

[0058] It should be noted that the input methods of the floor call box include: up or down registration button, destination floor registration keyboard, contactless card reader, fingerprint, QR code, voice command or facial recognition.

[0059] For example, the building is equipped with three group-controlled elevators, namely elevator 1, elevator 2, and elevator 3. The building has 20 floors with a floor height of 3m. Each floor has three call boxes, which are arranged near the doors of each elevator hall. Elevator 1 and elevator 2 are located on one side of the waiting hall corridor and are arranged side by side with a distance of 6m between them. Elevator 3 is located on the other side of the waiting hall corridor, which is 8m wide. The origin of the coordinate system (X,Y,Z) is the second call box on the first floor. The X-axis is perpendicular to the waiting hall corridor and points to the other side of the waiting hall corridor. The Y-axis is parallel to the waiting hall corridor and points to the first call box. The Z-axis is vertical and points upward. The spatial identifiers of the three call boxes on the fourth floor are {4_1,(0,6,9)}, {4_2,(0,0,9)}, and {4_3,(8,0,9)}, respectively.

[0060] S202. Real-time acquisition of elevator operating status to obtain real-time status signals.

[0061] In some implementations, the real-time status signals include running direction signals, current floor signals, elevator load signals, car registration signals, floor call allocation signals, and floor call signals.

[0062] For example, a passenger registers an upward call at the call box numbered 4_3. At this time, elevator 1 and elevator 3 are both on the 18th floor and going downward, with a registration signal from the 17th floor car. Elevator 2 is on the 18th floor and going upward, with a registration signal from the 20th floor car. The elevator status acquisition module collects the elevator operating status in real time and obtains the above-mentioned operating direction, current floor, load, car registration signal, floor call allocation signal, and floor call signal.

[0063] S203. Real-time acquisition of the three-dimensional dynamic distance between the elevator and the call box at each floor.

[0064] Wherein, the three-dimensional dynamic distance is the sum of the horizontal distance, vertical height difference and detour correction value between the elevator and the landing call box, the horizontal distance is the Manhattan distance between the elevator and the landing call box; the detour correction value is the distance cost value added by the elevator to detour when it does not meet the forward service conditions.

[0065] In some implementations, the formula for calculating the three-dimensional dynamic distance is:

[0066] A f-m,n =H f-m,n +V f-m,n +ΔS;

[0067] Among them, H f-m,n V is the horizontal distance between the elevator and the call box. f-m,nΔS represents the vertical height difference between the elevator and the call box; ΔS is the detour correction value for the elevator to reach the floor where the call box is located.

[0068] For example, for the upward call signal of the call box numbered 4_3, the three-dimensional coordinates (8,0,9) of the call box are analyzed, and the three-dimensional dynamic distance from each elevator to the call box is calculated; the three-dimensional dynamic distance A of elevator 1. 4-3,1 The horizontal distance is 8m + 6m = 14m, and the vertical height difference is (18-4) floors × 3m / floor = 42m. Since elevator 1 is currently running towards the 4th floor, and there are no car registration signals or other floor call distribution signals ahead of the current running direction on the 4th floor, the forward service condition is met, the correction value is 0, and the total distance is 56m; the three-dimensional dynamic distance A of elevator 2 4-3,2 The horizontal distance is 8m, and the vertical height difference is (18-4) floors × 3m / floor = 42m. Since elevator 2 is not currently pointing to the 4th floor, it does not meet the forward service condition. The correction value is twice the vertical height difference between the current floor (18th floor) and the farthest registered floor (20th floor) in the direction of travel, i.e., 2 × (20-18) floors × 3m / floor = 12m. The total distance is 62m. The three-dimensional dynamic distance A of elevator 3 is... 4-3,3 The horizontal distance is 0m, the vertical height difference is (18-4) floors × 3m / floor = 42m. Since the current running direction of elevator 3 is pointing to the 4th floor, and there is no car registration signal or other floor call distribution signal in front of the current running direction on the 4th floor, the forward service condition is met, the correction value is 0, and the total distance is 42m.

[0069] S204. Dynamic weighting coefficients for dynamic adjustment of passenger flow density based on floor level.

[0070] The dynamic weighting coefficients include weighting variables for allocating the three-dimensional dynamic distance, the expected number of floors to stop, the registration signal inside the car, whether it is a priority car, and the current load.

[0071] In some implementations, the dynamic weighting coefficient α is adjusted based on the passenger flow density of the floor where the call box is located. f The weighting variables for the three-dimensional dynamic distance, β f For the weighted variables of the expected number of floors to stop at, γ f Weighted variables and δ of the signals registered inside the car f The weighting variable for whether a car is a priority car is proportional to the passenger flow density, ε f The weighting variable for the current load is inversely proportional to the passenger flow density.

[0072] S205. Calculate the elevator's overall priority for the floor call box based on the three-dimensional coordinate identifier, real-time status signal, three-dimensional dynamic distance, and dynamic weighting coefficient.

[0073] In some implementations, the overall priority of the floor call box is calculated as follows:

[0074]

[0075] in, For elevator n, call boxes for each floor are f - The overall priority of m; Call box f for elevator n to floor f - The three-dimensional dynamic distance of m, For elevator n to reach the floor call box f - The estimated number of floors before floor m, including all stops caused by in-car registration signals and assigned floor call signals. Does the registered signal inside the elevator car of elevator n include the floor call box f? - The value of floor m is 1 when the condition is met, and 0 otherwise. For elevator n, call box f at floor level - Whether floor m is a priority car, the value is 1 or 0, E n K1 is the maximum three-dimensional dynamic distance from the elevator to the call box of the floor within the elevator group, which is determined by the maximum horizontal span and vertical height of the elevator shaft. K2 is the total number of floors served by the elevator. K3 is the rated load of the elevator.

[0076] For example, the maximum three-dimensional dynamic distance from the elevator to the call box is K1 = 6m + 8m + (20-1) floors × 3m / floor = 71m, the total number of floors served by the elevator is K2 = 20, and the rated load of the elevator is K3 = 1000Kg. Elevator 1 will stop at the 17th floor and then descend to the 4th floor; therefore, the estimated number of floors to stop before reaching the 4th floor is B. 4-3,1 =1; Elevator 2 will travel upwards to the 20th floor, register a signal inside the service car, and then reverse direction to descend. Therefore, it is expected to stop at the 4th floor, stopping at the following number of floors: B. 4-3,2 =1; Elevator 3 will stop at the 17th floor and then descend to the 4th floor, therefore, the estimated number of floors it will stop at before reaching the 4th floor is B. 4-3,3 =1. None of the elevators gave any in-car instructions on the 4th floor, therefore C... 4-3,1 =C 4-3,2 =C 4-3,3 =0, none of the elevators are priority cars on the 4th floor, therefore D 4-3,1 =0,D 4-3,2 =0,D 4-3,3 =0, the current loads of each elevator are: E1 = 300Kg, E2 = 300Kg, E3 = 300Kg, and the overall priority calculation method for each elevator is as follows:

[0077] P 4_3,1 =0.32×(1-56 / (2×71))+0.16×(1-1 / 20)+0.16×0+0.16×0+0.2×(1-300 / 1000)≈0.49;

[0078] P 4_3,2 =0.32×(1-62 / (2×71))+0.16×(1-1 / 20)+0.16×0+0.16×0+0.2×(1-300 / 1000)≈0.47;

[0079] P 4_3,3 =0.32×(1-42 / (2×71))+0.16×(1-1 / 20)+0.16×0+0.16×0+0.2×(1-300 / 1000)≈0.52;

[0080] The combined priority of elevator 1, elevator 2 and elevator 3 is 0.49, 0.47 and 0.52 respectively.

[0081] S206. Respond to elevator call requests to the designated elevator based on comprehensive priority.

[0082] In some implementations, the method of responding to elevator call requests based on comprehensive priority is to iterate through the elevators corresponding to the maximum value in the comprehensive priority values ​​and run them to the floor where the call box is located.

[0083] For example, because elevator 2 does not meet the forward service conditions and generates a detour correction value (12m), although the horizontal distance of elevator 2 (8m) is less than the horizontal distance of elevator 1 (14m), the three-dimensional dynamic distance A of elevator 2 is... 4-3,2 (62m) is still greater than the three-dimensional dynamic distance A of elevator 1. 4-3,1 (56m), according to the calculation results, the comprehensive priority of elevator 1 (0.49) is higher than that of elevator 2 (0.47). This indicates that when the other states (current floor of the elevator, assigned floor call signal, whether the car is prioritized, load) are the same, the detour correction value caused by the running direction and the registered signal in the car will reduce the comprehensive priority of the elevator. Since the horizontal distance of elevator 3 (0m) is less than that of elevator 1 (14m), the comprehensive priority of elevator 3 (0.52) is higher than that of elevator 1 (0.49). This indicates that when the other states (current floor of the elevator, running direction, registered signal in the car, assigned floor call signal, whether the car is prioritized, load) are the same, the elevator with the smaller horizontal distance has a higher comprehensive priority. The scheduling decision module will assign elevator 3 to serve the upward floor call signal of the floor call box numbered 4_3.

[0084] Based on the above technical solutions, the elevator dynamic allocation method based on multi-dimensional dynamic weights provided in this application reduces passenger waiting time and overall energy consumption of elevator groups in complex building scenarios, while improving scheduling efficiency. It solves the problem that elevators rely solely on the vertical direction for waiting time, which usually leads to congestion in some elevators while other elevators are idle, increasing the overall passenger waiting time and making it difficult to adapt to real-time changes in passenger flow within the building.

[0085] In one possible implementation of the embodiments of this application, combined with Figure 2 ,like Figure 3 As shown, the above S204 can be specifically implemented through the following S301 and S302, which are explained in detail below:

[0086] S301. Calculate passenger flow density based on elevator status during a preset time period in the past.

[0087] The passenger flow density is a quantitative indicator based on the passenger load and number of stops of each elevator on the floor where the call box is located within a preset time period in the past.

[0088] In some implementations, through calculation formulas The passenger flow density ρ of the f-th floor was calculated. f Where 1≤f≤K2, N is the number of elevators, and G i M represents the total passenger load weight on the f-th floor during the preset time period of the i-th elevator, K3 represents the rated load weight of the elevator, and M represents the total passenger load weight on the f-th floor during the preset time period. i K2 represents the number of times the i-th elevator stopped at the f-th floor within a preset time period in the past, and K2 represents the total number of floors served by the elevator.

[0089] It should be noted that the time range setting within the preset time period was based on research into the characteristics of elevator operation and the changing patterns of passenger flow. The time window within the preset time period can reflect the recent operating status of the elevator and the passenger flow situation, which can ensure the timeliness of the data and avoid the data fluctuations caused by the short time period affecting the accuracy of passenger flow density calculation. The preset time period can be set manually.

[0090] For example, such as Figure 4 As shown, the total passenger load of each elevator on the 4th floor in the past 3 minutes was as follows: G1 = 3000Kg, G2 = 5000Kg, G3 = 4000Kg, and the number of stops were as follows: M1 = 4, M2 = 6, M3 = 5. The rated load of elevator K3 is 1000Kg, and the passenger flow density on the 4th floor is:

[0091] ρ4=(3000Kg / (1000Kg×4)+5000Kg / (1000Kg×6)+4000Kg / (1000Kg×5)) / 3≈0.8.

[0092] S302. Calculate dynamic weighting coefficients based on passenger flow density.

[0093] In some implementations, the dynamic weight coefficients are obtained as follows:

[0094]

[0095] Where w1, w2, w3, and w4 are preset constant terms, and α f The weighting variables for the three-dimensional dynamic distance, β f For the weighted variables of the expected number of floors to stop at, γ f Weighted variables and δ of the signals registered inside the car f The weighted variable for whether a car is a priority car, ε f This is the weight variable for the current load.

[0096] For example, constants w1, w2, w3, and w4 are set to 0.4, 0.2, 0.2, and 0.2 respectively, and the dynamic weighting coefficient is α. f =0.4 × 0.8 ≈ 0.32, β f =γ f =δ f =0.2 × 0.8 ≈ 0.16, ε f =1-0.8=0.2.

[0097] Based on the above technical solution, the dynamic weight coefficient is dynamically adjusted based on passenger flow density. The passenger flow density-driven weight adjustment strategy takes into account both peak-hour efficiency and off-peak-hour resource balance; it reduces the average waiting time and walking distance of passengers, and is especially friendly to special groups such as the disabled and VIPs; by reducing redundant stops and detours, it reduces the overall operating energy consumption of the elevator group.
