Abstract
In an elevator operation control device, a plurality of operation control profiles for prescribing values regarding operation of an elevator, for example, a speed of a car are registered in an operation control device body. The operation control device body collects values such as the activation frequency of the car and the like as information on a condition of use of the elevator. The operation control device body also selects one of the operation control profiles in accordance with the information on the condition of use, and controls the operation of the elevator based on the selected operation control profile.
Claims18
An elevator operation control device, comprising:
- an operation control device body having registered therein a plurality of operation control profiles for prescribing values regarding operation of an elevator, configured to estimate a future temperature of a drive device that drives a car of the elevator, select one of the operation control profiles in accordance with information on a condition of use of the elevator and the estimated future temperature, and control the operation of the elevator based on the selected operation control profile.
An elevator operation control device, comprising:
- an operation control device body having registered therein a plurality of operation control profiles for prescribing values regarding operation of an elevator, for selecting one of the operation control profiles in accordance with information on a condition of use of the elevator and controlling the operation of the elevator based on the selected operation control profile,
- wherein the operation control device body estimates a future temperature of a drive device for driving the car and a future waiting time from the information on the condition of use, and selects one of the operation control profiles such that the temperature of the drive device becomes equal to or lower than an allowable value and that the waiting time is minimized.
A method of controlling an elevator using an elevator operation control device, the method comprising:
- registering a plurality of operation control profiles for prescribing values regarding operation of the elevator;
- estimating a future temperature of a drive device that drives a car of the elevator;
- selecting one of the operation control profiles based on the estimated future temperature and a condition of use of the elevator;
- and
- controlling the operation of the elevator based on the selected operation control profile.
