Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a signal equipment management apparatus, and more particularly to a signal equipment management apparatus for a railway.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art FIG. 2 is a schematic block diagram showing an example of a conventional signal equipment management system for a railway or the like. The system comprises a fault monitoring system 1 for collecting and managing fault information and a monitor system 2 for each signal, and a fault monitoring central unit is provided at a central part / station part above / below a dividing line indicated by a horizontal dashed line. 3 / failure monitoring station device 4 and signal monitor central device 5 / signal monitor station device 6

The failure monitoring station device 4 includes a signal device interlocking device 7 and an ATC device (automatic train control device) 8, for example, A, B...
.., Etc., and the signal monitor station device 6 includes an interlocking device monitor 11, an ATC device monitor 12, an A device monitor 13, a B device monitor 14,.
Etc. are provided.

[0004] Each device to be monitored for failure reports its abnormal state to a higher-level failure monitoring device at a contact level such as ON / OFF of a detection switch. The failure is transmitted to the monitoring place and notified to a supervisor in charge by, for example, a buzzer or a lamp display, and the failure monitoring central unit 3 collects the failure information (1).
5) is configured.

[0005] Each signal monitoring device (part) provided in each device to be monitored receives measurement data of the device to be monitored and the fault monitoring system 1 in response to a request (16) from the upper signal monitoring central device 5. Then, detailed failure data which cannot be notified is sent to the signal monitor central unit 5.

In the above system configuration, when an abnormality occurs in each device to be monitored, the monitor who has received the notification from the failure monitoring system 1 operates the signal monitoring device (part) of the device to be monitored and related devices. A request (16) is made to a signal monitoring device (part) of the device that performs the monitoring, and each monitor data is collected (17).

[0007]

However, in the above-mentioned conventional system, since the personnel is interposed between the fault monitoring system 1 and the signal monitoring system 2, the request for the related data tends to be delayed. In some cases, necessary data at the time of occurrence of a failure could not be obtained, or there was a significant delay.

For this reason, each of the device monitoring devices (parts) 11 to 14 installed in each of the devices 7 to 10 to be monitored detects an abnormality of the device to be monitored, and spontaneously increases the related data. Some methods are also used to output the data to the signal monitoring devices 5, 6, etc. In such a case, only the data of the device can be collected. The data related to the power supply device and the like must be separately provided through personnel, and for these reasons, the necessary troubleshooting may be delayed.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above situation, and has as its object to provide a means for automatically collecting all necessary related data without the use of personnel when an abnormality occurs.

[0010]

Therefore, in the present invention, the above object is achieved by providing a signal equipment management device according to any one of the following items (1) and (2). .

(1) A fault monitoring system comprising a fault monitoring central device and a fault monitoring station device having each device to be monitored, and a signal monitor central device and a signal having each monitoring means of each of the devices to be monitored. A signal monitoring system comprising a monitoring station device, and a signal equipment management device comprising: when any one of the monitoring target devices detects an abnormality, communicating abnormal state occurrence information to the failure monitoring system, The information is also communicated to the signal monitor system, and the signal monitor system automatically makes a data request to each of the related device monitoring means designated in advance based on the information, and A signal equipment management apparatus characterized in that various necessary data specified in advance are automatically collected.

(2) The signal equipment management apparatus according to the above (1), wherein the specification of the pre-specified necessary related data is configured to be changeable from outside.

[0013]

According to the above-described configuration of the present invention, when an abnormality occurs in any one of the monitoring target devices of the signal equipment management device, the signal monitoring system notifies the failure monitoring system of the abnormal condition at the contact level. Since related data can also be transmitted to the signal monitor system without delay, early resolution of the abnormality can be expected.

[0014]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the drawings based on an embodiment.

[0015]

FIG. 1 is a schematic block diagram (corresponding to FIG. 2 of the conventional example) of a signal equipment management system according to an embodiment of the present invention. The same components as those in FIG. A repeated explanation is omitted.
