Description

  The present invention relates to a material lifting management system and a lifting management method using a temporary elevator.

  Conventionally, materials are lifted by temporary elevators in finishing stairs in construction work. At such a material delivery site, the material manager confirms the handwritten destination display and material invoice for each material, communicates the material stop floor to the temporary elevator operator, and further to the predetermined stop floor. After the temporary elevator loaded with materials stops, a transport worker waiting on the stop floor performs unloading work and transports work to the work area or dwelling unit on each stop floor.

By the way, in the conventional lifting method, for example, when there is no material manager on the floor where loading is performed, the operator of the temporary elevator cannot determine the unloading floor, so the lifting work is stopped. There is a current situation that unavoidable.
In contrast, for example, Patent Document 1 discloses a technique in which stop floor information is incorporated in an electronic tag in advance so that the electronic tag is automatically stopped at a predetermined stop floor by placing the electronic tag on an elevator. It is disclosed. For example, the management method as described in Patent Document 1 is adopted for the lifting work of the building work described above, stop floor information corresponding to the material is incorporated in an electronic tag, the operator holds the electronic tag and the temporary elevator together with the material. If you get on, you can automatically lift the material to a predetermined stop floor.

A person etc. can browse as a WEB screen at any time.

Next, a lifting management method and an operation flow using the above-described material lifting management system 1 will be described with reference to the drawings.
As shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 4, in this lifting management method, first, an electronic tag 4 incorporating material information T1 for specifying the material 3 is attached to the material 3, and the reference floor F1 (see FIG. 3) The material 3 is mounted on the carriage 9 and loaded into the temporary elevator 2.

  When the electronic tag 4 enters the communicable range of each communication antenna 5, the material information T1 of the electronic tag 4 is received by the communication antenna 5. Here, since the three carriages 9, 9, 9 loaded with the material 3 are mounted on the temporary elevator 2, the plurality of communication antennas 5, 5,. Received status.

  Next, the material information T1 is input from the communication antenna 5 to the tag management device 6, and the material 3 loaded in the temporary elevator 2 is mounted by recognizing the communication antenna 5 that has received the material information T1. Material position information T2 indicating the positions (the right position H1, the center position H2, and the left position H3 shown in FIG. 2) is accumulated.

  Further, since the destination floor (stop floor information T3) of the material 3 is incorporated in the material information T1 input to the tag management device 6, the stop floor information T3 is transmitted to the elevator operation control unit 7. Then, the elevator operation control unit 7 outputs a command to the elevator control panel 8 to stop at a predetermined stop floor based on the stop floor information T3, and the temporary elevator 2 is set to a predetermined stop floor corresponding to the material 3. Move towards.

Next, when the temporary elevator 2 stops at a predetermined stop floor, a stop signal is transmitted from the elevator control panel 8 to the tag management device 6 via the elevator operation control unit 7, receives the signal, and at the stop floor, Material information T1 indicating which material 3 is to be wholesaled and where it is transported from the speaker 61 of the management device 6 and material position information T2 indicating the material 3 to be wholesaled from the temporary elevator 2 are output by voice. That is, the transporter can perform the transport work according to the voice instruction output from the speaker 61, can transport the material without failing the transport destination of the material, and writes the transport destination by hand as in the past. It becomes possible to save such trouble. In particular, the transporter can confirm the material position information T2 and recognize which of the plurality of materials 3 should be wholesaled from the temporary elevator 2, so that different materials are wholesaled from the temporary elevator 2. It is possible to prevent mistakes and improve work efficiency.
The order of unloading the plurality of materials 3 loaded in the temporary elevator 2 is arbitrary. For example, the order of unloading can be incorporated in the material information T1 in advance.

  Then, since the material 3 is carried out from the temporary elevator 2 by performing the unloading work at a predetermined stop floor, the electronic tag 4 is also out of the communicable range of the communication antenna 5, and the communication antenna 5 is connected to the electronic tag 4. The signal will stop. That is, in the tag management device 6, the material lifting record information T4 that is unloaded for the material 3 of the electronic tag 4 whose signal has been interrupted is accumulated together with the time of the internal clock, for example.

  Finally, when the lifting operation of the loaded material 3 is completed and the material 3 in the temporary elevator 2 is unloaded, the temporary elevator 2 is controlled so as to return to the reference floor F1 and landed on the reference floor F1. At the time, the material lifting performance information T4 described above is transmitted to the information transmission unit 10. Then, the material lifting result information T4 is automatically transmitted from the information transmitting unit 10 to a terminal 12 such as a mobile phone or a personal computer managed by the material manager M via a mobile phone network P such as an Internet line. As a result, the material manager M can confirm the progress of the lifting work in real time without being at the site, and can perform inspection, work instructions for the next process, and the like. Furthermore, in the information transmission part 10, when the lifting work is completed, the work completion information is automatically transmitted to the transport requester (including the material manager M), and real-time material management can be performed.

  In the material lifting management system and lifting management method using the temporary elevator according to the above-described embodiment, the material information T1 of the material 3 loaded in the temporary elevator 2 is automatically read from the electronic tag 4 by the communication antenna 5, Since a series of operations from the destination floor to the instruction of the transportation destination can be automatically performed, the temporary elevator 2 is automatically moved to a predetermined stop floor and the transport worker standing by at the stop floor is It is possible to output the material information T1 to the speaker 61 for confirmation, and the material 3 can be reliably transported without making a mistake in the transport destination of the material 3, and the trouble of manually recording the material information as in the past can be saved. Can do. Since the lifting operation can be continued even when the material manager M is not present at the work site, the work efficiency can be improved. Moreover, since the material lifting record information T4 indicating that the unloading has been completed can be notified to the material manager M by radio, the material manager M can check the progress state of the lifting work in real time.

As mentioned above, although embodiment of the material lifting management system and lifting management method using the temporary elevator by this invention was described, this invention is not limited to said embodiment, and does not deviate from the meaning. The range can be changed as appropriate.
For example, although the electronic tag 4 is attached to the material 3 in the present embodiment, the present invention is not limited to this, and the electronic tag 4 may be attached to a pallet or cart 9 for material transportation.
Further, in the present embodiment, some or all of the six surfaces forming the cage 2 of the temporary elevator 1 are provided with a plurality of communication antennas 5 for reading an electronic tag. However, the present invention is not limited to this. There is nothing. And in this Embodiment, although it is set as the structure which can identify three places (right side position H1, center position H2, left side position H3) as the loading position (material position information T2) of the material 3, it is three places. For example, the number may be two or four or more, and may be appropriately determined according to the size of the temporary elevator 2, the size of the carriage 9, the quantity of the collective material 3, the shape, and the like. Can be set.

In the material lifting management system 1, for example, an unmanned transport vehicle capable of unmanned traveling is installed in the floor of the unloading floor, and the unmanned transport is performed by an electronic tag reader provided in the unmanned transport vehicle. It is also possible to adopt a configuration in which the vehicle reads the transport destination in the floor and transports the vehicle by automatic driving.
In the present embodiment, the tag management device 6 is provided with the speaker 61. However, the output unit is not limited to voice output, and character information (display) such as an electronic display board is used. Alternatively, the material information T1 and the material position information T2 may be notified to the transporting worker at each stop floor by both sound and display.

Moreover, the attachment position of the electronic tag 4 and the attachment position of the communication antenna 5 are arbitrary, and can be attached to any location corresponding to the size, shape, etc. of the material 3 to be collected. In short, the electronic tag 3 and the communication antenna 5 may be arranged so that the electronic tag 4 of the material 3 can be received by the communication antenna 5 when the material 3 is loaded in the temporary elevator 2. .
In this embodiment, the material 3 is loaded on the carriage 9 and loaded in the temporary elevator 2. However, the method of not using the carriage 9, that is, the material 3 is loaded directly into the temporary elevator 2. It doesn't matter.
