Description

  The present invention relates to an information collection system for elevator seismic control operation that can appropriately collect information for control operation of an elevator accompanying the occurrence of an earthquake.

  In an elevator, an earthquake detector is installed as an additional equipment of the elevator in order to prevent an unexpected accident when an earthquake occurs. When this earthquake detector detects a vibration exceeding a predetermined seismic intensity, the elevator control device It will be in the controlled operation state, and the elevator car will be driven to the nearest floor and stop on the floor in the open state. Then, the stopped car waits in a stopped state until an expert of the elevator maintenance company completes the recovery work with the remote monitoring device and safety is confirmed.

  For this reason, when the elevator stops in the controlled operation state due to an earthquake, the elevator remote monitoring device notifies the monitoring center to that effect and transmits the information to the service base of the elevator maintenance company or the customer building. After confirming that the elevator is in the controlled operation state by contacting the administrator, the expert engineer is dispatched to the elevator, and the expert engineer performs the necessary recovery measures for the elevator, After confirming the inspection operation and safety, the control operation is switched to the normal operation to complete the restoration work.

  By the way, when an earthquake of a scale that operates the seismic detector attached to the elevator occurs, the area where the seismic detector operates is wide, and the same depending on the structure of the building where the elevator is installed and geographical factors. Even if the seismic intensity, the seismic detector may or may not work. At this time, when a specialist engineer is dispatched for all elevators, the seismic sensor is also dispatched for elevators that have not been operated, which may cause waste.

In order to solve this problem, a method has been proposed in which information on the operating state of the elevator is collected by remote monitoring from a monitoring center, and an expert engineer is instructed only to the elevator in which the seismic detector operates ( Patent Document 1).
JP 2000-242878 A

  In the above prior art, when collecting information on the operation of the earthquake detector, information is collected for all elevators installed in the area where the earthquake occurred, so it is sufficiently larger than the seismic intensity at which the earthquake detector operates. Because the seismic intensity of the elevators in the area where the seismic detector can be predicted, information is also collected for the elevators in the area where seismic intensity is difficult to predict. There may be adverse effects such as delays in collecting information about operations and delays in dispatching specialists.

 The present invention improves the above-mentioned conventional drawbacks, quickly identifies an elevator in a disaster area where a specialist engineer must be dispatched, and can efficiently dispatch a specialist engineer. It intends to provide an information collection system for control operation.

  In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides, as a first means, a monitoring center that monitors the operation state of elevators in a plurality of areas, and an earthquake that outputs a signal for switching to earthquake control operation to the elevator when an earthquake occurs. In response to a request from the monitoring center and a detector, a remote monitoring device provided with an operation status answering means for answering the presence or absence of the operation of the earthquake detector, and when detecting an earthquake, from the operation status answering means In the information collection system for elevator seismic control operation having an answer information collecting device for collecting information, the answer information collecting device is configured to identify the area based on the intensity of the earthquake detected for each area, at least of the earthquake detector. The first area where more than 95% is predicted to be active and the second area where less than 95% of the earthquake detectors are predicted to operate and the earthquake detector It is determined that the third area is predicted not to be operating, and information collection from the earthquake detector status answering means of the elevator in the second area is performed with priority over other areas. It is a characteristic information collection system for elevator seismic control operation.

  As a second means, in the information collecting system for elevator earthquake control operation described in the first means, the answer information collecting device is installed for each area as the intensity of the earthquake detected for each area. The information collection system for elevator seismic control operation is characterized by the seismic intensity measured by the seismometer.

  As a third means, in the information collecting system for elevator seismic control operation described in the first means or the second means, the answer information collecting device has a predetermined number for each area where the earthquake is detected. The area where the information on the operation status of the elevator of the elevator is collected, the operation ratio of the earthquake detector for each area is obtained from the information, and the information is collected from the operation condition response means based on the operation ratio of the earthquake detector This is an information collection system for elevator seismic control operation characterized by setting the order of

  As a fourth means, in the elevator earthquake control operation information collection system according to any one of the first means to the third means, the response information collection device is provided in advance for each area where the earthquake is detected. Collect information from the operating state answering means for a certain number of set elevators, determine the communication abnormality rate between the remote monitoring device and the monitoring center for each area from the information, and operate based on the communication abnormality rate The information collection system of the elevator seismic control operation is characterized in that the order of the areas where information is collected from the state answering means is set.

  As a fifth means, in the information collection system for elevator seismic control operation described in any one of the first to fourth means, the answer information collecting device includes at least one remote monitor in a region. The device is equipped with a first seismic detector that detects strong earthquakes and a second seismic sensor that detects seismic intensity greater than or equal to weak earthquakes. When an earthquake is detected, the first seismic detector does not detect the earthquake. Discriminates the area where the earthquake was detected by the second seismic detector, and preferentially collects information from the driving condition answering means in the area over information collecting from driving condition answering means in other areas This is an information collection system for elevator seismic control operation characterized in that

  According to the present invention, by adopting the above-described configuration, it is possible to quickly identify the elevator that a professional engineer must dispatch in the event of an earthquake, and to reduce waste of dispatch of the professional engineer as much as possible. Thus, it is possible to provide an information collection system for elevator seismic control operation that enables efficient and quick dispatch of specialist engineers.

  In the present invention, when an earthquake occurs, a situation occurs in which an expert engineer must be dispatched to the elevator, such as when dealing with damage to the elevator or when repair work or maintenance inspection is required. Dispatch is necessary for the majority of elevators in areas affected by strong earthquakes, only some elevators are required in areas affected by the middle earthquake, and there is almost no need for dispatch in areas affected by weak earthquakes. Taking into account the fact that we were able to know empirically, the installed elevators were grouped by area, and within this group area, a means for detecting the intensity of the earthquake that occurred was detected and detected by this detecting means. Based on the intensity of the earthquake, the earthquake-affected area is classified into the first area and the area where at least 95% of the seismic detectors installed in each elevator are predicted to operate. The second area where less than 95% of the detectors are in operation but the non-operating ones are expected to be intermingled and the third that is predicted that almost all of the seismic detectors are inactive The operation status attached to each elevator is determined as to whether or not the earthquake detector is operating with priority over the elevators in the other regions with respect to the elevators installed in the second region. Inquiries from the monitoring center to the elevators in the area where it is not possible to predict whether or not the specialist engineer will be dispatched by inquiring the means from the monitoring center. This makes it possible to quickly identify the elevator in the affected area.

  In other words, in the present invention, it is known from the above experience that in earthquake-stricken areas with a seismic intensity of 5 or more, 95% or more of the earthquake detectors in the area operate and are in the control operation state. In this case, an expert engineer is dispatched and all elevators need to be inspected. In earthquake-stricken areas with a seismic intensity of less than 3-5, less than 95% of the elevators in the area, the seismic detector However, there are many cases where the seismic detectors are not activated, and in earthquake-stricken areas with seismic intensity of 2 or less, almost all seismic detectors of elevators in the area are not activated. It is known from the experience, and based on the intensity of the earthquake from this experience, the area affected by the strong earthquake (first area), the area affected by the middle earthquake (second area), the area affected by the weak earthquake (third area) To determine whether it is necessary to dispatch a professional engineer The elevator in the difficult second area is given priority over the elevators in other areas, and the answer to the driving condition is sought, and the elevators that need to be dispatched by specialists can be quickly identified and handled efficiently. It is.

  For detecting the intensity of earthquakes in this area, the area where the elevator is installed is grouped, for example, for each area in charge of the service area where the elevator is maintained, and at least one detection means is provided in this area. It can be performed by the following detection method.

(1) A seismometer is installed in each area, and the intensity of the seismometer is measured to detect the intensity of the earthquake in the area.

(2) With respect to a certain number of elevators in each area, when an earthquake occurs, the presence or absence of the operation of an earthquake detector or a remote monitoring device for each elevator equipped with an earthquake detector and a monitoring center for monitoring the operation status of each elevator; Based on the information on the presence / absence of communication abnormality, the earthquake intensity in the area is detected based on the operation ratio of the earthquake detector or the communication abnormality ratio.

(3) At least one elevator in each area is provided with a first seismic sensor that operates with strong earthquakes and a second seismic sensor that operates with seismic intensity greater than or equal to a weak earthquake, When activated, the area is a disaster area affected by strong earthquakes, the former does not operate, the area where the latter earthquake sensor is activated is the area affected by the middle earthquake, and the area where the latter earthquake sensor does not operate Detecting the intensity of earthquakes in the area as a stricken area.

  Although any of the detection methods (1), (2), and (3) above can be used to determine the disaster situation in the region, these methods can be used alone, or these methods can be appropriately combined. Can be used together.

  In addition, the area classification of the affected area is not limited to the three areas of the first area, the second area, and the third area. It is also possible to quickly and accurately identify elevators that need to be dispatched by specialist engineers. In this subdivision, as described later, (1) and (2) and It can carry out more appropriately and easily by using together the detection method of (3).

  DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, an embodiment of an information collection system for elevator earthquake control operation according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

 FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a schematic configuration of an embodiment of an information collection system for elevator seismic control operation according to the present invention. In FIG. 1, regions 1 to N specify a service area in charge of an elevator maintenance company in advance. They are grouped by range and registered and managed in the customer information management database. 2 is a general public line that communicates with the monitoring center 3 that monitors the operating states of all the elevators 111 to Nn1 and the operating state answering means 113 to Nn3 provided in the remote monitoring devices 11 to N1 of the elevators 111 to Nn1 described later. 4 is input seismic intensity information of each region 1 to N sent from the seismometers 14 to N4 installed in the respective regions 1 to N through the communication line 2b, and this seismic intensity information is transmitted through the communication line 2c. It is an earthquake information center that reports to the monitoring center 3. In the figure, reference numeral 2a denotes a communication line that communicates with the monitoring center 3 through a general public line and operating state answering means 113 to Nn3 attached to remote monitoring devices 14 to N4 that monitor the operating conditions of the elevators 111 to Nn1. 2d is a communication line connecting the general public line 2 and the monitoring center.

 Each of the remote monitoring devices 14 to N4 is provided with elevators 111 to Nn1, earthquake detectors 112 to Nn2, and operation state answering means 113 to Nn3. Here, elevators of a plurality of regions and a plurality of remote monitoring devices are installed. For the sake of explanation, a different number is assigned for convenience. For example, the earthquake detector 112 and the operation state answering means 113 are connected to the elevator 111 of the remote monitoring device 11 belonging to the region 1, and the earthquake detector 222 and the operation state are connected to the elevator 221 of the remote monitoring device 22 of the region 2. Answering means 223 are connected to each other. The elevators 111 to 2n1 are ordinary elevators having a not-shown riding basket, a suspension weight, a control device, and the like.

 The earthquake detectors 112 to Nn2 are connected to the elevators 111 to Nn1, and have means for detecting vibrations that are equal to or greater than a preset value when an earthquake occurs and outputting earthquake detection signals to the elevators 111 to Nn1. When the elevators 111 to Nn1 receive the earthquake detection signals from the earthquake detectors 112 to Nn2, the elevators are switched to control operation, the car is guided to the nearest floor, stopped on the floor, the door is opened, and the standby state is established. To.

 The operation state answering means 113 to Nn3 of each of the remote monitoring devices 14 to N4 are connected to the monitoring center 3 through the communication line 2a and the general public line 2, and in response to a request from the monitoring center 3, the earthquake detectors 112 to 112 Information such as the presence or absence of Nn2 operation is sent to the monitoring center 3.

 The seismic intensity information of each region 1 to N measured by seismometers 114 to N14 installed in each region 1 to N is sent to the earthquake information center 4 through the communication line 2b, and further to the monitoring center 3 through the communication line 2c. Be sent.

 FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing a schematic configuration of a part related to information collection of the elevator seismic control operation of the monitoring center 3 according to the present invention, and 5 is sent from the seismometers 14 to N4 in the respective regions 1 to N. A discriminating means for discriminating each of the areas 1 to N according to the disaster area situation to be described later based on the seismic intensity. 6 is an operation state answering means in the corresponding area based on the discrimination result of the discriminating means. An order setting means 7 for setting the priority order for each region inquiring about presence / absence, an earthquake detector from the information collecting means 8 to the corresponding operating state answering means via the communication line 2d by a signal from the order setting means 6 This is a means for controlling information collection by obtaining a reply request for information on the presence / absence of the operation and information on the presence / absence of communication or the like and input of reply information from the corresponding operation state reply means through the information collection means 8

 Next, the operation state of the information collection system for this elevator earthquake control operation will be described with reference to FIGS.

 A seismic intensity is observed at seismic intensity meter 214 in area 2 at seismic intensity meter 214, seismic intensity at seismic intensity 4 is observed at seismic intensity meter 114 in area 1, and seismic intensity at seismic intensity 1 is in area N. Assume that observations were made at a total of N14. The seismic intensity information from the seismometers 114 to N14 observed in this way is sent to the earthquake information center 4 through the communication line 2b, and further sent from the earthquake information center 4 to the monitoring center 3 through the communication line 2c.

 In the monitoring center 3, in areas where seismic intensity greater than 5 is observed based on previous earthquake experiences, more than 95% of elevator seismic detectors are in operation and are in control operation. The earthquake detectors of less than 95% of the elevators operate in the area (first area) that requires inspection of all elevators in this area, and in areas with seismic intensity 3 to seismic intensity 5 but less than 95%. The area where the elevators that are operating are mixed with the elevator that is not operating (second area) and the area where the seismic detectors of most elevators are below seismic intensity 2 (third area) ) And an area discrimination standard based on the seismic intensity of the earthquake, and based on the seismic intensity information from each seismometer 114-N14 sent from each area based on this discrimination standard, area 1 is the second area. The ground 2 is determined to be the first area, and the area N is the third area. Based on this determination, the rank setting means 6 determines the rank of the area for inquiring about the operation status of the elevator in each area. Based on the information, the information collection control means 8 inquires through the information collection means 8 from the operating state answering device in the remote monitoring device in the corresponding area about the operation status of the earthquake detector in the remote monitoring device, and obtains the answer. Request for the dispatch of a professional engineer to the elevator that responded that there was a communication abnormality or earthquake detector operation from the answers obtained in this way.

 In this case, since the number of lines connecting the general public line 2 and the monitoring center 3 connecting the elevator operating state answering device and the monitoring center is limited, the seismic detector is operating. It is necessary to quickly distinguish between elevators that are not in operation and those that are not in operation, and to notify the dispatch of specialists, so that it is difficult to predict the operating status of earthquake detectors. It is determined based on a criterion for inquiring with priority over the driving situation in other regions and in the above embodiment, the driving state answering means for all elevators installed in the region 1 corresponding to the second region 113-1n3 is made to answer the operational status etc. of the earthquake detectors 112-1n2 from the information collecting means 9. Based on this answer result, the elevators that need to be dispatched by specialists in area 1 are identified.

 After identifying the elevators that need to be dispatched by specialists in region 1, ask the elevators in the third region (region N) and then in the first region (region 2) about the driving situation. I have to. In this case, without inquiring about the driving situation for the third area or the first area, in the first area, a specialist engineer is dispatched to all elevators, and the elevators in the third area On the other hand, it can be left unattended and take action after waiting for contact from the damaged elevator.

 Therefore, it is possible to quickly identify the elevators in the area where it is necessary to quickly sort out the dispatch of specialists, and to reduce the waste of dispatch of specialists as much as possible and to efficiently and quickly Enables dispatch of engineers.

 In the above embodiment, the monitoring center 3 is provided with the judging means 6 and the order setting means 7. These means are set in the earthquake information center 4, and the order from the earthquake information center 4 to the monitoring center 3 is set. The setting information may be sent.

 Next, another embodiment according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing a schematic configuration of an information collection system for elevator seismic control operation according to another embodiment of the present invention. The schematic configuration of the remote monitoring devices 11 to 4n from region 1 to region 4 is basically 1 is the same as the schematic configuration of the remote monitoring device of the information collection system for elevator earthquake control operation shown in FIG. However, the seismic intensity meter is not provided in the region 5, and the first seismic detector 5221 and the second seismic detector 5222 are provided only in the remote monitoring device 51 in the region 5 as an alternative to the seismic intensity meter. Yes.

 The remote monitoring device 51 detects a seismic force having a seismic intensity of 5 or more and a first seismic sensor 5221 that senses and outputs a detection signal when seismic force having a seismic intensity of 5 or more is detected. And a seismic detector 5222 for outputting a detection signal, and when the seismic force having a seismic intensity of 5 or more is received, the first and second seismic detectors 5221 and 5222 are activated, and the elevator 521 is controlled. At the same time, the operating state answering device 5131 notifies the monitoring center 3 through the communication line 2a that the first earthquake detector 5221 and the second earthquake detector 5222 have been activated.

 As shown in FIG. 4, the monitoring center 3 receives notification information on the operating status of the first earthquake detector 5221 and the second earthquake detector 5222 from the operation state answering device 5131 through the communication line 2d. If the first earthquake detector 5221 receives the signal from the means 9 and the signal from the receiving means 9 in advance, the area is recognized as a damaged area having a seismic intensity of 5 or more (first area). If the second seismic detector 5222 senses the first seismic detector 5221, the seismic intensity is recognized as an area affected by the seismic intensity 4 to seismic intensity 5 (second area). If neither the first seismic sensor 5221 nor the second seismic sensor 5222 is detected, the seismic intensity certifying means 10 uses the seismic intensity certifying means 10 based on the qualifying criteria for seismic intensity 3 or lower (third area). Based on this information The determination means 6 determines whether the area is the first area, the second area, or the third area. Subsequently, as described above, the rank setting means 7 determines the rank of the area based on the determination information. It has a function to set.

 In this way, in addition to directly measuring the intensity of the earthquake with a seismic intensity meter, it is possible to easily detect the area of the earthquake by using an earthquake detector. In the case of using, there is an advantage that it is possible to carry out simply and inexpensively without particularly installing a seismometer and laying the communication line 5.

 In this case, in the above embodiment, the sensitivity of the first seismic sensor 5221 and the second seismic sensor 5222 is detected at the seismic intensity 5 and seismic intensity 4 or more. The sensitivity can be set appropriately. In addition, the number of earthquake detectors is not limited to two as described above, and two or more earthquake detectors are provided, and the intensity of the earthquake can be detected more accurately by detecting in stages according to the intensity of the earthquake. It can also be.

 Next, a system for collecting elevator earthquake control operation information using the elevator earthquake control operation information collection system of this embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS.

 As shown in FIG. 3, seismic intensity 4 in area 1, seismic intensity 6 in area 2, seismic intensity 4 in area 3, seismic intensity 5 in area 4 are seismic intensity meters 114, 214, Assume that observations are made at 314 and 414. In area 5, since the seismic intensity meter is not provided, the accurate seismic intensity cannot be measured. However, the first seismic detector 5221 of the remote monitoring device 51 does not detect the earthquake and the second seismic sensor 5222 is not detected. Suppose that the elevator 521 is in a controlled operation state when an earthquake is detected. As described above, the first seismic detector 5221 is set to operate at a seismic intensity of 5 or higher, and the second seismic sensor 5222 is set to operate at a seismic intensity of 4 or higher. The intensity of the earthquake is estimated to be seismic intensity 4 to seismic intensity 5 less.

 In such a situation, the seismic intensity measurement results in each area are collected in the earthquake information center 4, and the measurement results are sent to the monitoring center 3. Based on the seismic intensity of the earthquake, the discrimination means corresponds to the affected area. It will be determined whether to do.

 In area 2, a seismic intensity of 6 or higher is observed, so it is expected that more than 95% of elevators in this area are in control operation with the seismic detector activated, and fall under the first area. .

  On the other hand, in region 1, region 3, region 4 and region 5, since seismic intensity 4 to seismic intensity 5 are observed, this corresponds to the second region based on the above criteria. Therefore, according to the judgment criteria, inquiries regarding elevators in the regions 1, 3, 4, and 5 will be given priority over the region 2, but the region corresponding to the second region Since there are many, it is more efficient to further subdivide and determine priorities within the area corresponding to the second area.

 In this embodiment, the following measures are adopted in order to further subdivide and determine priorities within the region corresponding to the second region.

 That is, a certain number of, for example, 10 elevators out of the elevators in region 1, region 3, region 4 and region 5 are selected, and monitoring is performed on the operation status answering device of the remote monitoring device of these selected elevators. The center 3 asks for the response of the operation status of the presence or absence of operation of the seismic detector of each remote monitoring device and the presence or absence of communication abnormality between each remote monitoring device and the monitoring center 3, and from these responses, the operation of the seismic detector is present And the occurrence rate of the communication abnormality are determined, and the priority of region 1, region 3, region 4, and region 5 is determined from these rates.

 FIG. 5 is a flowchart of the processing performed to determine the priority order. The information about the damage in the area 5 where the seismic intensity meter is not provided is shown as the first seismic detector 5221 and the second earthquake at the start of information collection. Judgment is made based on the alarm information of the seismic detector from the remote monitoring device 51 provided with the sensor 5222. That is, it is determined whether or not the first earthquake sensor 5221 does not operate and the second earthquake sensor 5222 operates and falls into the second area (S10). If “Yes” in S10, then the seismic intensity is determined to be 4 or more and less than 5 for areas equipped with seismic intensity meters (S11), and if “Yes”, as described above, For a certain number of elevator remote monitoring devices, information is collected from the corresponding remote device on the operation status of the seismic detector attached to each remote monitoring device and the communication status between the remote monitoring device and the monitoring center 3 (S12). .

 Next, the occurrence rate of communication abnormality in the remote monitoring device in the corresponding area is obtained based on the information collected in this way, and it is determined whether this occurrence rate is 80% or more (S13). If the result of this determination is “Yes”, the damage situation in the area is enormous and it is determined that all elevators need to be inspected. Therefore, information collection for the remaining elevators is interrupted (S15), and immediately , Request a specialist engineer for all elevators in the area.

 If “No” in S13, the occurrence rate of the operation of the seismic detector in the area is calculated from the information on the operating state of the seismic sensor attached to each remote monitoring device collected in S12. It is determined whether or not the occurrence rate falls within 5% to 95% (S14). If “No”, information collection to the remaining elevators in this area is preferentially continued (S17). ).

 Further, in the case of “No” in S10 and S11 and “Yes” in S14, the information collection for the elevator in the area is waited until the information collection in the area where the priority is performed is completed (S16), Information collection is continued after completion of the priority information collection. In this way, since the operation of the seismic detector in the area is small and priority is given to the identification of elevators that can reduce the wasteful dispatch of specialist engineers, the dispatch of specialist engineers is efficient and Can be done quickly.

 In this embodiment, in order to further subdivide the second region, the region is determined based on the seismic intensity by the seismic intensity meter, the region is determined based on the occurrence rate of the communication abnormality, and the region based on the motion occurrence rate of the earthquake detector is detected. By using the determination together, it becomes possible to subdivide the priority ranking and collect necessary information more accurately and quickly.

 However, regional discrimination based on the occurrence rate of communication abnormalities and regional discrimination based on the occurrence rate of seismic detector operation are not used in combination as described above, but are also performed individually based on these alone. Also good. In this case, there is no need to install a seismic intensity meter or a new second seismic detector as in the above-mentioned area 5, and a conventional remote monitoring device is used and an appropriate program of the monitoring center 3 is used. By doing so, it becomes possible to determine the region more inexpensively and easily.
