[0016] Hereinafter, a detailed description will be given with reference to the drawings. Duplicate descriptions will be appropriately simplified or omitted. In each drawing, the same reference numerals indicate the same or corresponding parts.
[0017] Embodiment 1 FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an example of an elevator system 1 according to a first embodiment. The elevator system 1 includes an elevator device 2, an interlocking device 3, and an autonomous moving body 4. The elevator device 2 includes a car 5, and a control device 6. The elevator system 1 may include a plurality of autonomous moving bodies 4. The elevator device 2 may include a plurality of cars 5.
[0018] The elevator car 5 stops at multiple floors in a building. A user can get on the car 5 and travel to a desired floor. The car 5 is equipped with a door 7. The control device 6 manages the operation of the car 5. When the elevator device 2 is equipped with multiple cars 5, the control device 6 may manage the multiple cars 5 as a group.
[0019] The autonomous moving body 4 can move autonomously within a building. As an example, the autonomous moving body 4 is a cleaning robot. The autonomous moving body 4 may be a security robot. The autonomous moving body 4 may be a robot for transporting luggage. The autonomous moving body 4 may be a robot that performs other roles within a building. The autonomous moving body 4 can ride in a cage 5 and move to a desired floor.
[0020] In the elevator system 1, the autonomous moving body 4 can move in the car 5 together with a user. For example, the autonomous moving body 4 may get into the car 5 in which a user is riding. The user may get into the car 5 in which the autonomous moving body 4 is riding. The elevator system 1 may include a car 5 dedicated to the autonomous moving body 4 and a car 5 dedicated to the user. As another example, the elevator device 2 may include only a car 5 dedicated to the autonomous moving body 4.
[0021] The interlocking device 3 is capable of bidirectional communication with the control device 6. The interlocking device 3 is capable of bidirectional communication with the autonomous moving body 4. If a device for managing the autonomous moving body 4 is provided separately from the autonomous moving body 4, the interlocking device 3 may communicate with the autonomous moving body 4 via that device. In the elevator system 1, basically, the autonomous moving body 4 does not communicate directly with the control device 6. The interlocking device 3 mediates between the autonomous moving body 4 and the control device 6.
[0022] The interlocking device 3 includes a memory unit 10, a communication unit 11, a communication unit 12, a recording unit 13, a call request unit 14, a boarding / alighting request unit 15, a door request unit 16, a first judgment unit 17, a stop request unit 18, and a second judgment unit 19.
[0023] The communication unit 11 is a function for communicating with the autonomous moving body 4. The communication unit 12 is a function for communicating with the control device 6. The call request unit 14 is a function for requesting the control device 6 to register a call. The boarding and alighting request unit 15 is a function for requesting boarding and alighting from the autonomous moving body 4. Specifically, the boarding and alighting request unit 15 has a function of a boarding request unit for requesting boarding the autonomous moving body 4 and a function of alighting request unit for requesting alighting from the autonomous moving body 4. In other words, the alighting request unit is a part of the function of the boarding and alighting request unit 15. The door request unit 16 is a function for requesting the control device 6 to open and close the door 7.
[0024] The functions of the interlocking device 3 can be realized by a so-called computer. As an example, the functions of the interlocking device 3 are realized by a cloud server. The functions of the interlocking device 3 may be realized by a server in the building in which the elevator device 2 is installed.
[0025] The autonomous moving object 4 includes a communication unit 31, an information acquisition unit 32, and an operation control unit 33.
[0026] The communication unit 31 is a function for communicating with the interlocking device 3. The information acquisition unit 32 is a function for acquiring information related to the autonomous moving body 4. Hereinafter, this information is also referred to as moving body information. As an example, the moving body information includes information indicating position coordinates, orientation, current floor, remaining charge, status, operation, etc. The above statuses include, for example, moving, waiting, charging, waiting at an elevator hall, elevator boarding operation, inside the elevator, elevator disembarking operation, etc. Examples of moving body information are not limited to the above.
[0027] The operation control unit 33 is a function for controlling the operation. For example, the operation control unit 33 controls a driving machine (not shown), thereby moving the autonomous moving body 4. The functions of the autonomous moving body 4 can be realized by a so-called computer.
[0028] The control device 6 includes a communication unit 41, an information acquisition unit 42, a decision unit 43, and an operation control unit 44.
[0029] The communication unit 41 is a function for communicating with the interlocking device 3. The information acquisition unit 42 is a function for acquiring information related to the elevator device 2. Hereinafter, this information is also referred to as elevator information. As an example, the elevator information includes information indicating the position of the car 5, the state of the car 5, the state of the door 7, and the like. The state of the car 5 includes, for example, stopped, moving upward, and moving downward. The state of the door 7 includes, for example, fully closed, opening operation, fully open, closing operation, and the like. Examples of elevator information are not limited to the above.
[0030] The operation control unit 44 controls the operation of the elevator device 2. For example, the operation control unit 44 controls the movement of the car 5. The operation control unit 44 controls the opening and closing of the door 7. The functions of the control device 6 can be realized by a so-called computer.
[0031] 2 to 8, the operation of the elevator system 1 will be described in detail below. FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing an example of the operation of the interlocking device 3.
[0032] The interlocking device 3 determines whether or not moving body information has been received from the autonomous moving body 4 (S101). In the autonomous moving body 4, the moving body information acquired by the information acquisition unit 32 is periodically transmitted from the communication unit 31 to the interlocking device 3. The autonomous moving body 4 may transmit moving body information every time the content of the moving body information is changed. The moving body information from the autonomous moving body 4 is received by the communication unit 11 in the interlocking device 3. When the communication unit 11 receives the moving body information, the result of S101 is determined as Yes.
[0033] If the result of S101 is Yes, the recording unit 13 records the moving body information received by the communication unit 11 in the storage unit 10 (S102). As a result, the moving body information is accumulated in the storage unit 10. The interlocking device 3 can identify the latest state of the autonomous moving body 4 based on the moving body information stored in the storage unit 10. Furthermore, the interlocking device 3 can identify the latest position of the autonomous moving body 4 based on the moving body information stored in the storage unit 10.
[0034] FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing another example of the operation of the interlocking device 3.
[0035] In the interlocking device 3, it is determined whether or not elevator information has been received from the control device 6 (S201). In the control device 6, the elevator information acquired by the information acquisition unit 42 is periodically transmitted from the communication unit 41 to the interlocking device 3. The elevator information may be transmitted from the control device 6 every time the contents of the elevator information are changed. The elevator information from the control device 6 is received by the communication unit 12 in the interlocking device 3. When the communication unit 12 receives the elevator information, the result of S201 is determined as Yes.
[0036] If the result of S201 is Yes, the recording unit 13 records the elevator information received by the communication unit 12 in the memory unit 10 (S202). As a result, the elevator information is accumulated in the memory unit 10. The interlocking device 3 can identify the latest position and status of the car 5 based on the elevator information stored in the memory unit 10. Furthermore, the interlocking device 3 can identify the latest status of the door 7 based on the elevator information stored in the memory unit 10.
[0037] Next, an operation of the autonomous moving body 4 when it moves in the car 5 will be described. Fig. 4 is a sequence diagram showing an example of the overall operation of the elevator system 1. Fig. 5 is a flowchart showing an example of the operation of the autonomous moving body 4. When it is necessary for the autonomous moving body 4 to move in the car 5, the autonomous moving body 4 transmits a call request from the communication unit 31 (S301).
[0038] 6 and 7 are flowcharts showing another example of the operation of the interlocking device 3. Fig. 6 and Fig. 7 show a series of operations. In the interlocking device 3, it is determined whether or not a call request has been received from the autonomous moving body 4 (S401). When the communication unit 11 receives the call request transmitted from the autonomous moving body 4 in S301, it is determined as Yes in S401.
[0039] If S401 is determined to be Yes, the call request unit 14 transmits a call registration request to the control device 6 in response to the call request received by the communication unit 11 in S401 (S402). This call registration request includes information on the boarding floor Fr and the destination floor Fd. The boarding floor Fr is the floor where the autonomous moving body 4 gets on to the car 5. The destination floor Fd is the floor where the autonomous moving body 4 gets off from the car 5.
[0040] 8 is a flowchart showing an example of the operation of the control device 6. The control device 6 judges whether or not a call registration request has been received from the interlocking device 3 (S501). When the communication unit 41 receives the call registration request transmitted from the interlocking device 3 in S402, the result of S501 is determined as Yes.
[0041] If the determination in S501 is Yes, the determination unit 43 determines a car 5 that will respond to the call registration request received by the communication unit 41 in S501 (S502). If the elevator device 2 is equipped with multiple cars 5 as shown in FIG. 1, the determination unit 43 assigns the call registration request to one of the multiple cars 5 and causes it to respond. Hereinafter, the car 5 that responds to the call registration request is also referred to as the assigned car 5. When the determination unit 43 determines the assigned car 5 in S502, an assigned car notification is transmitted from the communication unit 41 to the interlocking device 3 (S503). The assigned car notification includes information on the assigned car 5 determined by the determination unit 43.
[0042] When the interlocking device 3 transmits a call registration request in S402, it is determined whether or not an assigned car notice has been received from the control device 6 in response thereto (S403). When the communication unit 12 receives the assigned car notice transmitted from the control device 6 in S503, it is determined as Yes in S403. When it is determined as Yes in S403, the assigned car notice is transmitted from the communication unit 11 to the autonomous moving body 4 (S404).
[0043] In addition, in the autonomous moving body 4, the communication unit 31 receives the assigned car notification transmitted from the interlocking device 3 in S404. When the elevator device 2 is equipped with a plurality of cars 5, the operation control unit 33 may perform preparations for getting on the assigned car 5. For example, the operation control unit 33 controls the drive machine to move the autonomous moving body 4 in front of a door for getting on the assigned car 5.
[0044] In the control device 6, when the determination unit 43 determines the assigned cage 5 in S502, the operation control unit 44 causes the assigned cage 5 to respond to the call registration request (S504). Specifically, the operation control unit 44 moves the assigned cage 5 to the boarding floor Fr. When the operation control unit 44 stops the assigned cage 5 at the boarding floor Fr, it opens the door 7 of the assigned cage 5. When the door 7 of the assigned cage 5 is opened at the boarding floor Fr, a door open notification is transmitted from the communication unit 41 to the interlocking device 3 (S505). The door open notification includes information indicating that the door 7 of the assigned cage 5 is open at the boarding floor Fr.
[0045] When the interlocking device 3 transmits a call registration request in S402, it determines whether or not a door open notification of the boarding floor Fr has been received (S405). When the communication unit 12 receives the door open notification transmitted from the control device 6 in S505, it determines Yes in S405. When it determines Yes in S405, the boarding / alighting request unit 15 transmits a boarding request to the autonomous moving body 4 (S406). The boarding request includes information indicating that boarding the assigned car 5 is permitted.
[0046] When the autonomous mobile body 4 transmits a call request in S301, it is determined whether or not a boarding request has been received from the interlocking device 3 in response thereto (S302). When the communication unit 31 receives the boarding request transmitted from the interlocking device 3 in S406, it is determined as Yes in S302. When it is determined as Yes in S302, the autonomous mobile body 4 boards the assigned car 5 (S303). That is, the operation control unit 33 controls the drive machine, so that the autonomous mobile body 4 moves from the landing of the boarding floor Fr to inside the assigned car 5. When the autonomous mobile body 4 boards the assigned car 5, a boarding completion notification is transmitted from the communication unit 31 to the interlocking device 3 (S304).
[0047] When the interlocking device 3 transmits a boarding request in S406, it is determined whether or not a boarding completion notification has been received from the autonomous moving body 4 in response thereto (S407). When the communication unit 11 receives the boarding completion notification transmitted from the autonomous moving body 4 in S304, it is determined as Yes in S407. When it is determined as Yes in S407, the door request unit 16 transmits a door close request to the control device 6 to close the door 7 of the assigned car 5 (S408).
[0048] When the control device 6 transmits the door open notification in S505, it determines whether or not a door close request has been received in response from the interlocking device 3 (S506). When the communication unit 41 receives the door close request transmitted from the interlocking device 3 in S408, it determines Yes in S506. When it determines Yes in S506, the operation control unit 44 moves the assigned car 5 to the destination floor Fd (S507).
[0049] Specifically, the operation control unit 44 closes the door 7 of the assigned car 5 at the boarding floor Fr. Next, the operation control unit 44 causes the assigned car 5 to respond to the call registration request and moves the assigned car 5 to the destination floor Fd. When the operation control unit 44 stops the assigned car 5 at the destination floor Fd, it opens the door 7 of the assigned car 5. As the door 7 of the assigned car 5 is opened at the destination floor Fd, a door open notification is sent from the communication unit 41 to the interlocking device 3 (S508). The door open notification includes information indicating that the door 7 of the assigned car 5 is open at the destination floor Fd.
[0050] When the interlocking device 3 transmits a door close request in S408, it is determined whether or not a door open notification for the destination floor Fd has been received (S409). When the communication unit 12 receives the door open notification transmitted from the control device 6 in S508, it is determined as Yes in S409. When it is determined as Yes in S409, the boarding / alighting request unit 15 transmits a disembarking request to the autonomous moving body 4 (S410). The disembarking request includes information indicating that disembarking from the assigned car 5 is permitted.
[0051] When the autonomous moving body 4 transmits a boarding completion notification in S304, it is determined whether or not an alighting request has been received from the interlocking device 3 in response thereto (S305). When the communication unit 31 receives the alighting request transmitted from the interlocking device 3 in S410, it is determined as Yes in S305. When it is determined as Yes in S305, the autonomous moving body 4 starts the alighting operation to alight from the assigned car 5 (S306). That is, the operation control unit 33 controls the drive machine, so that the autonomous moving body 4 starts moving from the assigned car 5 to the hall of the destination floor Fd.
[0052] If S305 is determined as Yes, the autonomous mobile body 4 determines whether disembarking, i.e., moving from the assigned car 5 to the platform at the destination floor Fd, has been successful (S307). If the autonomous mobile body 4 can move to the platform at the destination floor Fd, S307 is determined as Yes. If S307 is determined as Yes, a disembarking completion notification is transmitted from the communication unit 31 to the interlocking device 3 (S308). The disembarking completion notification includes information indicating that the autonomous mobile body 4 has disembarked from the assigned car 5 at the destination floor Fd.
[0053] On the other hand, if the autonomous moving body 4 cannot move to the landing of the destination floor Fd, the result of S307 is No. As an example, consider a case where the autonomous moving body 4 receives a disembarking request when the autonomous moving body 4 is riding in the assigned car 5 together with a user. If the user stands between the autonomous moving body 4 and the entrance / exit, the autonomous moving body 4, having detected that the user is on the path, stops the disembarking operation. In such a case, even if the autonomous moving body 4 receives a disembarking request, it cannot disembark from the assigned car 5, and the result of S307 is No. If the result of S307 is No, the autonomous moving body 4 determines whether or not a disembarking cancellation request has been received from the interlocking device 3 (S309).
[0054] In the interlocking device 3, when the disembarking request is transmitted in S410, the first determination unit 17 determines whether or not the autonomous moving body 4 has failed to disembark from the assigned car 5 at the destination floor Fd.
[0055] As an example, the first determination unit 17 determines whether or not a disembarking completion notification has been received from the autonomous moving body 4 (S411). When the communication unit 11 receives the disembarking completion notification transmitted from the autonomous moving body 4 in S308, the result of S411 is determined as Yes. That is, the first determination unit 17 does not determine that the autonomous moving body 4 has failed to disembark from the assigned car 5 at the destination floor Fd. When the result of S411 is determined as Yes, the door request unit 16 transmits a door close request to the control device 6 (S412).
[0056] On the other hand, if the communication unit 11 does not receive a disembarking completion notification from the autonomous moving body 4, it is determined as No in S411. If it is determined as No in S411, the first determination unit 17 determines whether or not a certain time has elapsed since the door open notification was received in S409 (S413). The certain time is set in advance. If the certain time has elapsed without receiving a disembarking completion notification from the autonomous moving body 4, the first determination unit 17 determines that the autonomous moving body 4 has failed to disembark from the assigned car 5 at the destination floor Fd. That is, it is determined as Yes in S413. If it is determined as Yes in S413, the cancellation request unit 18 transmits a disembarking cancellation request to the autonomous moving body 4 (S414). Note that the first determination unit 17 may determine the failure of disembarking by another method.
[0057] In the autonomous mobile body 4, when the communication unit 31 receives the disembarking cancellation request transmitted from the interlocking device 3 in S414, Yes is determined in S309. When Yes is determined in S309, the autonomous mobile body 4 cancels the disembarking operation to disembark from the assigned car 5 (S310). When the disembarking operation is canceled in S310, a disembarking cancellation completion notification is transmitted from the communication unit 31 to the interlocking device 3 (S311). The disembarking cancellation completion notification includes information indicating that the autonomous mobile body 4 has stopped moving to the hall at the destination floor Fd.
[0058] When the interlocking device 3 transmits the alighting cancellation request in S414, it is determined whether or not a alighting cancellation completion notification has been received from the autonomous moving body 4 in response thereto (S415). When the communication unit 11 receives the alighting cancellation completion notification transmitted from the autonomous moving body 4 in S311, it is determined as Yes in S415. When it is determined as Yes in S415, the door request unit 16 transmits a door close request to the control device 6 to close the door 7 of the assigned car 5 (S416).
[0059] When the control device 6 transmits a door open notification in S508, it determines whether or not a door close request has been received from the interlocking device 3 (S509). When the communication unit 41 receives the door close request transmitted from the interlocking device 3 in S412, it determines Yes in S509. Also, when the communication unit 41 receives the door close request transmitted from the interlocking device 3 in S416, it determines Yes in S509. When it determines Yes in S509, the operation control unit 44 closes the door 7 of the assigned car 5 (S510).
[0060] In the autonomous moving body 4, when the disembarking operation is cancelled in S310 and a disembarking cancellation completion notification is transmitted in S311, a re-disembarking request is transmitted from the communication unit 31 to the interlocking device 3 (S312). The re-disembarking request may be transmitted after a door close request is transmitted in S416.
[0061] When the interlocking device 3 transmits a disembarking cancellation request in S414, it is determined whether or not a re-disembarking request has been received from the autonomous moving body 4 in response thereto (S417). When the communication unit 11 receives the re-disembarking request transmitted from the autonomous moving body 4 in S312, it is determined as Yes in S417. When it is determined as Yes in S417, the second determination unit 19 determines whether or not the autonomous moving body 4 is in the assigned car 5 (S418). The determination in S418 is made based on, for example, the latest moving body information stored in the memory unit 10.
[0062] When the second judgment unit 19 judges that the autonomous moving body 4 is in the assigned car 5, Yes is judged in S418. When Yes is judged in S418, the call request unit 14 transmits to the control device 6 a call registration request for the autonomous moving body 4 to get off the assigned car 5 at the destination floor Fd, that is, the same destination floor as the destination floor included in the call registration request transmitted in S402 (S419). This call registration request corresponds to a call generated by operating the operation panel in the assigned car 5, that is, a so-called car call. In other words, the car 5 that responds to this call registration request is the car 5 that responded to the call registration request transmitted in S402. When No is judged in S418, the call registration request is not transmitted.
[0063] It should be noted that the determination in S418 does not have to be performed by the interlocking device 3. For example, a determination equivalent to the determination in S418 may be performed by the autonomous moving object 4.
[0064] After S510, the control device 6 judges whether or not a call registration request corresponding to a car call has been received from the interlocking device 3 (S511). When the communication unit 41 receives the call registration request transmitted from the interlocking device 3 in S419, the result of S511 is judged as Yes. When the result of S511 is judged as Yes, the process returns to S507. That is, the operation control unit 44 moves the assigned car 5 to the destination floor Fd and opens the door 7.
[0065] As a result, in the interlocking device 3, the communication unit 12 receives the door open notification transmitted from the control device 6 in S508 (Yes in S420). If it is determined to be Yes in S420, the boarding / alighting request unit 15 transmits an alighting request to the autonomous moving body 4 (S410). The autonomous moving body 4 that has received this alighting request starts the alighting operation (S306), and if the autonomous moving body 4 is able to alight from the assigned car 5, a alighting completion notification is transmitted to the interlocking device 3 (S308).
[0066] In the above example, if the answer is Yes in S511, the control device 6 may notify the interlocking device 3 of the cage call registration result before the processing of S507 is performed, and the notification may be forwarded from the interlocking device 3 to the autonomous mobile body 4.
[0067] In the example shown in this embodiment, the first determination unit 17 determines whether or not the autonomous moving body 4 heading to the destination floor Fd in the assigned car 5 has failed to get off the assigned car 5 at the destination floor Fd. When the first determination unit 17 determines that the autonomous moving body 4 has failed to get off the assigned car 5 at the destination floor Fd, the abort request unit 18 transmits a disembarkation abort request to the autonomous moving body 4. Then, when the call request unit 14 receives a re-disembarkation request from the autonomous moving body 4 as a response to the disembarkation abort request, it transmits a call registration request to the control device 6 for the autonomous moving body 4 to get off the assigned car 5 at the destination floor Fd.
[0068] With this elevator system 1, even if the autonomous moving body 4 fails to disembark once, a call registration request is made in response to a re-disembarking request from the autonomous moving body 4, and the autonomous moving body 4 can disembark from the assigned car 5 at the destination floor Fd. Even if the autonomous moving body 4 fails to disembark, there is no need for the manager to go rescue the autonomous moving body 4. This reduces the burden on the manager.
[0069] Other functions that can be adopted by the elevator system 1 are described below. If possible, the elevator system 1 may adopt a combination of the following functions. In the example shown below, only the differences from the above-mentioned example are described in detail. Explanations of the same points as the above-mentioned example are omitted.
[0070] In the above example, when the call request unit 14 receives a re-alighting request from the autonomous moving body 4 as a response to the alighting cancellation request, the call request unit 14 transmits a call registration request for the autonomous moving body 4 to alight from the assigned car 5 at the destination floor Fd to the control device 6. However, even if a re-alighting request is not received from the autonomous moving body 4, the interlocking device 3 can determine that the autonomous moving body 4 was unable to alight from the assigned car 5 at the destination floor Fd and that the autonomous moving body 4 is in the assigned car 5.
[0071] When the first judgment unit 17 judges that the autonomous mobile body 4 has failed to get off the assigned car 5 at the destination floor Fd, Yes is judged in S413. When the second judgment unit 19 judges that the autonomous mobile body 4 is in the assigned car 5, Yes is judged in S418. When Yes is judged in S413 and Yes is judged in S418, the call request unit 14 may transmit a call registration request for the autonomous mobile body 4 to get off the assigned car 5 at the destination floor Fd to the control device 6 in S419. In this case, the interlocking device 3 does not need to perform the process shown in S417 of FIG. 7. The autonomous mobile body 4 does not need to perform the process shown in S312 of FIG. 5.
[0072] 9 is a flow chart showing another example of the operation of the interlocking device 3. When the interlocking device 3 performs the operation flow shown in FIG.
[0073] Depending on the function of the elevator device 2, the car 5 may not respond to a car call with the floor where the car 5 is stopped as the destination floor. Therefore, in the example shown in Fig. 9, when S418 is judged as Yes, the third judgment unit 20 judges whether or not the floor where the assigned car 5 is currently located matches the destination floor Fd (S421). When the third judgment unit 20 judges that the current floor of the assigned car 5 does not match the destination floor Fd, the process shown in S419 is performed.
[0074] On the other hand, when the third determination unit 20 determines that the current floor of the assigned car 5 coincides with the destination floor Fd, the door request unit 16 transmits a door open request to open the door 7 of the assigned car 5 to the control device 6 (S422). After that, the process shown in S420 is performed. That is, by determining Yes in S421, the boarding / alighting request unit 15 transmits an alighting request to the autonomous moving body 4 (S410). In the autonomous moving body 4, by receiving the alighting request, an alighting operation to alight from the assigned car 5 is started (S306).
[0075] 9, the third determination unit 20 determines in S421 whether or not the current floor of the assigned car 5 matches the destination floor Fd on the condition that a re-alighting request has been received from the autonomous moving body 4. If the determination in S421 is No, a call registration request for the autonomous moving body 4 to alight from the assigned car 5 at the destination floor Fd is transmitted to the control device 6. On the other hand, if the determination in S421 is Yes, the call registration request is not transmitted, and a door open request is transmitted to the control device 6. In this example, it is possible to prevent a call registration request with the current floor of the assigned car 5 as the destination floor from being transmitted in S419.
[0076] 9 can also be applied to a case where a re-getting request is not transmitted from the autonomous moving body 4. In such a case, when S413 is judged as Yes and S418 is judged as Yes, the third judgment unit 20 may judge whether or not the current floor of the assigned car 5 coincides with the destination floor Fd (S421).
