Description

Detailed Description of the Invention [Industrial applications]

The present invention relates to a patrol inspection support system suitable for patrol maintenance services for various facilities and equipment.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As is well known, in various facilities and equipment, service personnel of a security company make periodic inspections (payments) to perform maintenance management and maintenance services. . Conventionally, in such patrol inspection work, a checklist in which check items are displayed in advance, or a handy terminal in which these check items are stored in an IC memory is always carried by a service person, and equipment / service at the service site is carried out. After filling out or entering the facility check results on these media,
By centrally managing the data collectively, it was a management system that would prevent check failures and equipment failures from occurring.

[0003]

By the way, the following problems exist in the above-mentioned conventional patrol inspection work. First, in order to centrally maintain and manage multiple facilities and equipment, a patrol inspection item file in which patrol inspection items (patrol inspection points, check contents, etc.) are created / edited for each patrol inspection target is registered in advance in the database. It is desirable to keep.
However, when the facilities and equipment subject to patrol inspections are diverse, even if the patrol inspection targets are categorized into some basic configuration patterns in advance, the facility configuration, detailed device configuration, and patrol inspection content are different. There are many cases.

Even if there is a difference in the structure of the details, it is naturally impossible to use the same patrol inspection item file because the patrol inspection contents are different.
Therefore, it is necessary to reconstruct the database for each facility or equipment, which requires a huge amount of time and labor.
In addition, there are cases where the contents of the database must be changed again after the specifications have been changed after the dedicated database was created.

Further, for example, if the facility is vast and the facility scale is large, the patrol inspection route becomes complicated and the patrol inspection items become enormous. This makes it difficult to create basic patrol inspection items, and even if such a large number of patrol inspection items are registered in the handy terminal, the patrol inspection work using this handy terminal can be done by one person. The patrol inspector will be responsible, which will increase the burden on the patrol inspector and reduce the work efficiency.

Therefore, for patrol inspection of a large-scale facility or equipment, it is divided into a plurality of patrol inspection areas,
It is necessary to have a system that creates a patrol inspection item for each block and stores a patrol inspection result corresponding to this in a database. In other words, by registering the patrol inspection items for each block in the handy terminal and using these to patrol the blocks under the control of multiple patrol inspectors, the burden on the patrol inspector is reduced and Efficient patrol inspection work is realized. Furthermore, by summarizing the patrol inspection results of each block, the patrol inspection results of each facility can be integrated into a database. The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and provides a patrol inspection support system capable of efficiently conducting patrol inspections even in large-scale facilities and equipment, and capable of centralizing the patrol inspection results in a database. Is intended.

The block definition function Mf2 displays each facility arrangement in the facility as a plan view based on the screen data registered in advance in the internal or external memory and also displays the patrol inspection route on the screen, and the patrol inspection target is displayed in this display state. Select equipment.

Further, in this function MF2, a patrol inspection area to be made into a block is divided by a boundary line in the displayed plan view to define the area as a block for patrol inspection individually. This block is composed of data representing a patrol inspection route and corresponding patrol inspection target equipment. In other words, by selecting the inspection target equipment, from among a plurality of configuration patterns representing the configuration of each equipment,
The type and model of the relevant equipment are determined, and the patrol inspection item corresponding to this is uniquely determined.

In other words, this block definition function MF2
Then, the inspection items for each block are extracted. Here, the extracted inspection items are updated and registered in the inspection item file. In this way, by preparing the configuration patterns corresponding to various equipment configurations as a database in advance, it is possible to update the database so that it exactly matches the facility subject to the inspection inspection included in the target block.

Next, the patrol inspection item editing function Mf3 individually edits (corrects) the patrol inspection item created by the function Mf2. Even if the basic configuration pattern is the same, the function Mf3 often has a slight difference in the equipment configuration and the contents of the patrol inspection. Therefore, the patrol inspection item is corrected in response to such a case. It is for. More specifically, numerical item means for editing and specifying the numerical items of the patrol inspection target equipment, route order item editing means for editing and specifying the input items of the patrol inspection result in route order, and the input items of the patrol inspection result are hierarchical. It is realized by a selection item editing means for editing and specifying, and a confirmation item editing means for exiting when a patrol inspection is completed, which is adopted as necessary, and by using it in combination with the function MF2. , It is possible to efficiently edit different inspection items for each block. The edited result is registered in the external storage device 4 as a patrol inspection item file F1.

Next, the patrol inspection database function Mf4
As described above, after the patrol inspection is completed, the patrol inspection result file F2 stored in the IC memory card 1c of the handy terminal 1 is read and registered in the external storage device 4 as the patrol inspection database F3. If necessary, a patrol inspection item is used as a keyword to search for desired patrol inspection results from the database, sort the patrol inspection results into a sorted form, or perform processing such as data graphing.

Functions of Handy Terminal 1 Side The handy terminal 1 displays a screen corresponding to a conventional check sheet under the operation of the patrol inspection program Pf. The patrol inspection result input according to this screen display is the patrol inspection result file F2 of the IC memory card 1c.
Written in.

B. General Operation Next, the general operation of the embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. Here, first, on the personal computer 3 side, a general operation of registering the patrol inspection results collected by the handy terminal 1 on the personal computer 3 side as a database after showing the preparation / editing of the patrol inspection items based on blocking is shown.

(1) Operation block definition of the personal computer 3 When the personal computer 3 is started, first, a menu screen (not shown) is displayed. In this menu screen, for example,
When the operator selects the block definition function MF2 described above, a plan view of the substation and preset patrol inspection routes A and B are displayed on the display 5 as a screen DSP, as shown in FIG. In FIG. 3, reference numeral 10 denotes a management building including a control room and an office, and 11 denotes substation equipment including a 500KV circuit breaker, a disconnector, and the like. Further, 12 is an on-site transformer including a power receiving panel and a control panel, 13 is a main transformer, 14 is a substation facility including a 275KV circuit breaker and a disconnector, 15 is a tower, 16 is a main gate, 17 is other. Shows.

Thus, in the initial state of the function Mf2,
The entire equipment of the substation and its patrol inspection route are displayed graphically. Here, if the block division line BL is set using an operator such as a mouse, the patrol inspection route A of the 500 KV system equipment and the patrol inspection route B of the 275 KV system equipment are set.
Is divided into and In this way, if the substation is divided into two blocks, two patrol inspectors will carry out patrol inspection work on the 500 KV system equipment and the 275 KV system equipment in parallel. Compared to the conventional patrol inspection work, the burden on the patrol inspector is reduced, and reliable patrol inspection can be performed.

When the patrol inspection target is divided into two blocks, patrol inspection items corresponding to the equipment configuration of each block are extracted. That is, as shown in FIG. 4A, in the block including the patrol inspection route A, “management building 10 → substation facility 11 → internal transformer 12 → main transformer 13 → management building 10”
Since the patrol inspection is performed in this order, the patrol inspection items corresponding to each of these facilities are extracted from the patrol inspection database F3 and set in the patrol inspection item file F1. Also,
As shown in (b) of the figure, in the block including the patrol inspection route B, the patrol inspection is performed in the order of "management building 10-> substation equipment 14-> tower 15-> main gate 16-> other 17-> management building 10". The patrol inspection items corresponding to each of these facilities are extracted from the patrol inspection database F3 and set in the patrol inspection item file F1. The patrol inspection item for each block is downloaded to an individual IC memory card 1c used for each block, as described later.

Editing of inspection items The above-mentioned block definition Mf2 was intended to change the equipment configuration of each block. However, if a detailed change of the inspection items is required, this inspection item editing Mf3 is used. Make it work. The patrol inspection item editing Mf3 includes numerical item editing means for editing the numerical items of the target equipment, route order item editing means for editing the patrol inspection items in the route order, and selection item editing for editing the patrol inspection items in a hierarchical structure. means,
Further, it is realized by four means which are adopted as necessary and are means for editing confirmation items at the time of leaving when the patrol inspection is completed.

When the inspection items are hierarchically edited, the selection item edit screen shown in FIG. 5 is displayed. Hierarchical editing means that the target equipment is classified into large categories (rough model types), medium categories (attached device categories), and small categories (detailed check points). It is obvious that it is very efficient for a person who has experienced a patrol inspection to carry out the patrol inspection work while designating each category in this way. The result of editing the selected item is reflected in the patrol inspection database F3, and the corresponding patrol inspection item is updated and registered.

(2) Operation on the handy terminal 1 side When carrying out the patrol inspection work, the patrol inspection item file F1 edited / created on the personal computer 3 side is downloaded to the dedicated IC memory card 1c prepared for each block. To do. Next, at the patrol inspection point, the patrol inspector has the handy terminal 1 equipped with the IC memory card 1c.
When the power is turned on and the patrol inspection program is started up, the patrol inspection item file F1 is read and the patrol inspection items are displayed as guidance.

As described in the operation of the personal computer 3, the patrol inspection item is randomly selected in the handy terminal 1 in order to improve the patrol inspection and work efficiency according to the work level and know-how of the patrol inspection worker. A screen for entering selection items that has been edited as much as possible and a route order item that displays patrol inspection items according to the order of patrol inspection routes so that even beginners can perform highly reliable work with less chance of missing inspections A screen for input is prepared. That is, as shown in FIG. 5, a screen necessary for the patrol inspector to randomly select the input items from the large classification to the small classification according to the situation of the substation is displayed.
Since all patrol inspection work using the handy terminal 1 uses touch panel guidance input, all patrol inspection can be performed without referring to the chuck sheet or the operation manual.

In the handy terminal 1, when the input of the check items upon exit at the end of the patrol inspection is completed, a series of patrol inspection results are registered in the patrol inspection result file F2 of the IC memory card 1c. Then, when all patrol inspection work is completed, the IC memory card 1 from the handy terminal 1
By removing c and setting it in the card interface 2, the patrol inspection result is transferred to the personal computer 3 side.

(3) Operation on the side of the personal computer 3 (making a database of patrol inspection results) When the memory card 1c is set in the card interface 2, the personal computer 3 activates the patrol inspection database function Mf4 in response to an instruction from the operator. , The patrol inspection result is merged with the patrol inspection result before the last time, and stored in the patrol inspection database F3. The database-based patrol inspection result is subjected to known processing such as extraction processing based on a predetermined keyword, search processing, or sorting. Here, it is important to note that conventionally, different check sheets were used for each facility, so it was not possible to unify the vocabulary or expressions of patrol inspection items. However, according to this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5, the patrol inspection items corresponding to each equipment configuration are created / edited in a unified manner, so that the patrol inspection items can be unified.

Thus, in the above-mentioned embodiment,
While the patrol inspection area is divided into multiple blocks, patrol inspection items for each block are automatically generated, and the patrol inspection results for each block are centrally managed by the PC 3 side, so large facilities and It is possible to efficiently conduct patrol inspections even with equipment, and to centralize the patrol inspection results in a database. Further, since the patrol inspection item corresponding to each facility is created, the patrol inspection item can be set with a uniform expression or vocabulary even if the facility configuration is different. Therefore,
Using the unified patrol inspection item as a keyword, each patrol inspection result can be easily retrieved from the database.

In addition, in the handy terminal 1 which is carried in the patrol inspection work, the patrol inspection items hierarchically structured according to the level of the patrol inspector and the patrol inspection items in the order of routes are selected and displayed. As a result, it is equivalent to a patrol inspection work using a check sheet according to the skill level of the patrol inspector. By doing so, the skilled worker is urged to improve the work efficiency, while the inexperienced beginner contributes to the improvement of the reliability of the patrol inspection work. Further, since the handy terminal 1 uses guidance input by operating the touch panel, it is an extremely easy input operation.

The IC memory card 1c described above is
This is a mode in which a plurality of memory cards are used to register a patrol inspection item file F1 corresponding to different equipment configurations, and the memory cards of the handy terminal 1 are sequentially replaced to patrol a plurality of blocks.
