Method for operating an elevator system comprising a specification of a predetermined travel route, elevator system, and elevator controller for carrying out such a method

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for operating an elevator system (1) having a plurality of elevator cars (20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26), which can be moved individually between a plurality of floors, wherein in one elevator shaft (3, 4) of the elevator system (1), a plurality of elevator cars (20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26) can be moved simultaneously. In doing so, a predetermined travel route is assigned to an elevator car, or to a plurality of elevator cars (20, 21, 22, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26). Said travel route is defined by a sequence of stopping points, which is predetermined in advance for the respective elevator car (20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26), and at which the respective elevator car (20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26) is to make a scheduled stop. Those elevator cars (20, 21, 22, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26), to which a travel route is assigned, are then moved in accordance with the travel route (30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36) assigned to the respective elevator car (20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26). The invention further relates to an elevator controller (6), and to an elevator system (1) for carrying out such a method.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for operating an elevator system comprising a plurality of elevator cars independently movable between a plurality of floors. Here, a plurality of elevator cars of the elevator system can move simultaneously in the elevator shaft of the elevator system. [0002] Furthermore, the invention relates to an elevator controller and an elevator system for carrying out such a method. Background technique [0003] In particular, such elevator systems are known as ropeless multi-cabin elevator systems with a plurality of horizontal and vertical elevator shafts. Here, the elevator cars of such an elevator system are largely moved independently of one another, in particular by means of linear motor drives. Here, the operation of such an elevator system, in particular for the efficient movement of the elevator car in the elevator shaft of the elevator system, represents a significant challenge. Operating such an elevator system ...

Problems solved by technology

Here, the use of more complex algorithms leads to an increase in operational and usage complexity also on the user side, and as a result, the number of errors that occur when operating the elevator system also increases
