Patent number: 7888893Abstract: The start timing of the pole position inference process of the linear motor installed vertically is delayed by a predetermined time after instruction of brake release. For example, from (1) increasing of the thrust instruction value of an ASR control system up to a predetermined value, (2) the movement (falling) distance of the moving part, or (3) the moving (falling) speed of the moving part, the release condition of the brake is detected and moreover after a predetermined time, the inference process of the pole position is started. The inference process of the pole position of a synchronous motor is fit to the release timing of a brake and a malfunction of the inference process and a runaway (falling in the vertical drive) of a moving part are prevented.Type: GrantFiled: March 2, 2010Date of Patent: February 15, 2011Assignee: Hitachi, Ltd.Inventors: Hirokazu Nagura, Hiromi Inaba, Toshifumi Yoshikawa, Hironori Ohashi, Yuri Takano, Masaki Sugiura

Patent number: 7730999Abstract: An elevator group control system includes a reference route generating portion, which for each elevator, generates a reference route which the elevator should follow with respect to the time axis and position axis; and an assignment portion which selects an elevator for assignment to a generated hall call so as to make the actual trajectory of each elevator closer to its reference route. Reference routes which guide the cage's trajectory into temporally equal interval condition are generated, and car assignment is executed to allow the cages to settle in temporally equal interval condition over a long period of time.Type: GrantFiled: August 5, 2008Date of Patent: June 8, 2010Assignees: Hitachi, Ltd., Hitachi Mito Engineering Co., Ltd.Inventors: Toshifumi Yoshikawa, Satoru Toriyabe, Takamichi Hoshino, Atsuya Fujino, Shunichi Tanae, Hiromi Inaba, Kenji Yoneda, Toru Yamaguchi, Ryo Okabe

Patent number: 7562746Abstract: A method and a display for elevator allocation evaluating are provided. When an elevator allocated to a hall call is selected by employing two different view points such as a real and a future call evaluation index, an elevator allocation reason and a balance between the two view points can be easily grasped. An elevator allocated to a hall call is evaluated on orthogonal coordinates in which the real call evaluation index and the future call evaluation index are defined as an X and a Y coordinate axis. Evaluation indexes of first to fourth elevator cars are evaluated by employing contour lines of a synthetic evaluation function, which is represented as the real and the future call evaluation index. A weight for allocating is displayed visually.Type: GrantFiled: February 17, 2006Date of Patent: July 21, 2009Assignees: Hitachi, Ltd., Hitachi Mito Engineering Co., Ltd.Inventors: Toshifumi Yoshikawa, Satoru Toriyabe, Takamichi Hoshino, Shunichi Tanae, Atsuya Fujino, Ryou Okabe, Masaya Furuhashi, Kenji Yoneda
