Description

  The present invention relates to an earthquake response control apparatus and program, and more particularly to an earthquake response control apparatus and program for controlling a controlled object in accordance with long-period ground motion.

  Usually, the ground motion that causes great damage to buildings is a short one with a period of about 0.1 second to 2 seconds, but recently, a ground motion called a long period ground motion with a period of several seconds to several tens of seconds has been attracting attention.

  Unlike the short-period ground motion, this long-period ground motion is not easily attenuated over long distances, and is greatly excited in the sedimentary plain and has a long duration. Therefore, even in remote areas, there is a possibility of causing unexpected and unexpected damage to structures with high social importance such as high-rise buildings and oil tanks. For example, past damages caused by long-period ground motion include oil tank fires in Tomakomai during the 2003 Tokachi-oki earthquake and elevator damage in Tokyo during the 2004 Niigata Chuetsu earthquake, which is about 200km away from the epicenter. In both cases, damage has occurred. In trench-type giant earthquakes such as the Tokai, Tonankai and Nankai earthquakes, which are expected to occur in the near future, long-period ground motion is expected to be even more prominent in sedimentary plains. The construction of a mechanism that can be suppressed is eagerly desired.

  As a technique that can be applied to this, Patent Document 1 discloses an emergency earthquake warning receiving unit that is provided in each of a plurality of regions and receives an earthquake early warning for each region for the purpose of suppressing damage caused by long-period vibration. A remote monitoring center that receives the related information of the emergency earthquake bulletin transmitted from the emergency earthquake bulletin receiving means and determines whether the received earthquake is a seismic intensity or distance that is subject to long-period vibration; and the remote monitoring center A technology including an elevator remote monitoring device that performs seismic control operation for an elevator that may be damaged by long-period vibration in response to a command from a monitoring center is disclosed.

  Patent Document 2 discloses an elevator control operation device for safety of an elevator during an earthquake or a strong wind, for the purpose of preventing an elevator rope from being caught due to long-period ground motion. A rope for measuring a swing, and an automatic judgment reasoning means for inputting measurement data by the measurement means, wherein the automatic judgment reasoning means infers a swing width of an elevator rope based on the measurement data There is disclosed a technique having a swing width inference function and an automatic determination reasoning function for inferring the possibility of the rope being caught using the predicted swing width value of the rope. Patent Document 2 discloses a technique for determining whether or not a long-period earthquake motion is based on an emergency earthquake bulletin and temporarily stopping the elevator when it is determined that the earthquake is a long-period earthquake motion.

  In addition, Patent Document 3 describes that even if an earthquake that has occurred may cause long-period ground motion, it is connected to a network for the purpose of accurately performing seismic control operation. A real-time earthquake information supply source that outputs real-time earthquake information on the network, and a long-period ground motion that is connected to the network and has an elevator installed based on the real-time earthquake information input from the real-time earthquake information supply source. Long-period ground motion occurrence prediction means for predicting whether or not to occur, and when the long-period ground motion occurrence prediction means predicts the occurrence of long-period ground motion, control operation command means for commanding execution of seismic control operation, and Based on the seismic control operation command from the control operation command means, before the earthquake reaches the building or near the arrival time Technique and a driving control means for performing control for the earthquake emergency operation is disclosed.

Furthermore, Patent Document 4 discloses emergency earthquake information for the purpose of providing an elevator seismic control operation system capable of ensuring passenger safety and preventing damage to elevator equipment without being affected by long-period ground motion. Based on the data stored in the database when receiving the earthquake information, the database storing data related to moving the elevator to a zone not affected by long-period vibration, And a control means for moving the elevator to a zone that is not affected by long-period vibrations.

  However, the technique disclosed in Patent Document 1 determines whether or not the earthquake is a seismic intensity or distance that is a target of long-period vibration when the related information of the emergency earthquake warning is received, If this is determined to be, the seismic control operation of the elevator will be performed, so this technology does not allow fine control according to the level of long-period ground motion, resulting in damage from long-period ground motion. There has been a problem that it is not always possible to effectively suppress the occurrence of.

  In addition, the technique disclosed in Patent Document 2 is also a long-period earthquake motion by determining whether or not a long-period earthquake is moving based on an emergency earthquake bulletin, as in the technique disclosed in Patent Document 1. Since the elevator is temporarily stopped when it is judged, even with this technology, detailed control according to the level of long-period ground motion cannot be performed, and as a result, damage due to long-period ground motion is not generated. There has been a problem that it cannot always be effectively suppressed.

  Further, the technique disclosed in Patent Document 3 is also based on the input of real-time earthquake information from the real-time earthquake information supply source, as in the techniques disclosed in Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2. In this technology, long-period ground motion is also controlled because it predicts whether or not long-period ground motion will occur in the installed building and controls the seismic control operation when long-period ground motion is predicted. As a result, there is a problem in that it is not always possible to effectively suppress the occurrence of damage due to long-period ground motion.

  In particular, in the techniques disclosed in Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 3 described above, whether or not long-period ground motion has occurred is determined using “seismic intensity”. “Seismic intensity” indicates short-period ground motion. Therefore, these technologies cannot accurately determine the occurrence of long-period ground motion.

  In contrast to the above technique, the technique disclosed in Patent Document 4 described above controls the seismic control operation of an elevator when emergency earthquake information is received without determining the occurrence of long-period ground motion. Therefore, although the false detection of long-period ground motion does not occur as in the techniques disclosed in Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 3 above, seismic control operation is controlled even when an earthquake that does not cause long-period ground motion occurs. Therefore, there is a problem that unnecessary control may be performed.

  These problems are not limited to the case where elevators are controlled, but various other types of structures that are susceptible to long-period ground motion such as high-rise buildings, base-isolated buildings, large tanks, and bridges. This is a problem that may also occur when equipment is controlled.

  The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and provides an earthquake response control apparatus and program capable of effectively suppressing the occurrence of damage due to long-period ground motion without performing unnecessary control. For the purpose.

  In order to achieve the above object, the earthquake response control apparatus according to claim 1 is provided in real time when an earthquake occurs, and obtains earthquake information including information indicating the magnitude and occurrence position of the earthquake; When the earthquake information is acquired by the acquisition means, based on the earthquake information, a physical quantity indicating an amplitude level of long-period ground motion generated according to the earthquake at a predetermined installation position of the control target, and the amplitude level Prediction means for predicting at least one of the physical quantities obtained based on the control means, and control means for controlling the control object in real time so as to suppress the occurrence of damage caused by the earthquake based on the physical quantities predicted by the prediction means; It has.

  According to the earthquake response control apparatus of the first aspect, the earthquake information that is provided in real time when an earthquake occurs and includes information indicating the magnitude and occurrence position of the earthquake is acquired by the acquisition unit. The acquisition of earthquake information by the acquisition means includes acquisition via a wireless network, and acquisition via a network including wired and wireless, in addition to acquisition via a wired network.

  Here, in the present invention, when the earthquake information is acquired by the acquiring unit by the predicting unit, based on the earthquake information, long-period ground motion generated in response to the earthquake at a predetermined installation position of the control target. At least one of a physical quantity indicating the amplitude level and a physical quantity obtained based on the amplitude level is predicted.

  In the present invention, the control object is controlled in real time by the control means so as to suppress the occurrence of damage due to the earthquake based on the physical quantity predicted by the prediction means.

  Thus, according to the earthquake response control apparatus according to claim 1, when earthquake information is provided in real time when an earthquake occurs and information indicating the magnitude and location of the earthquake is acquired, the earthquake information Based on the physical quantity indicating the amplitude level of the long-period ground motion generated in response to the earthquake at the predetermined installation position of the control target, and at least one of the physical quantity obtained based on the amplitude level, to the predicted physical quantity Based on this, since the controlled object is controlled in real time so as to suppress the occurrence of damage due to the earthquake, it is possible to effectively suppress the occurrence of damage due to long-period ground motion without performing unnecessary control. .

  In the present invention, as in the invention described in claim 2, the control unit divides the physical quantity predicted by the prediction unit into a plurality of predetermined stages, and performs the control for each division. It is good. Thereby, as a result of being able to perform control with respect to a control object more finely, generation | occurrence | production of the damage by a long period ground motion can be suppressed more effectively.

  Further, as in the invention according to claim 3, the present invention further comprises estimation means for estimating an arrival time of an S wave due to the earthquake at the installation position based on the earthquake information, and the control means includes: The control may be performed based on the physical quantity predicted by the prediction unit and the arrival time estimated by the estimation unit. Thereby, as a result of being able to perform control with respect to a control object more finely, generation | occurrence | production of the damage by a long period ground motion can be suppressed more effectively.

  Particularly, in the invention described in claim 3, as in the invention described in claim 4, the control means divides the arrival time estimated by the estimation means into a plurality of predetermined stages, The control may be performed separately. Thereby, as a result of being able to perform control with respect to a control object more finely, generation | occurrence | production of the damage by a long period ground motion can be suppressed more effectively.

  Further, the invention according to claim 2 or claim 4 further includes storage means for preliminarily storing control information indicating the control content for the control target for each section, as in the invention according to claim 5, The control unit may read out corresponding control information from the storage unit and perform the control based on the control information. Thereby, generation | occurrence | production of the damage by a long period ground motion can be suppressed more easily. The storage means includes a RAM (Random Access Memory), an EEPROM (Electrically Erasable and Programmable Read Only Memory), a semiconductor storage element such as a flash EEPROM (Flash EEPROM), a smart media (SmartMedia (registered trademark)), a flexible A portable recording medium such as a disk, a fixed recording medium such as a hard disk, or an external storage device provided in a server computer connected to a network is included.

  By the way, when the control object of this invention exists in a building, it cannot be overemphasized that the interlayer deformation angle by the long period ground motion in the said building has a big influence with respect to a control object.

  Therefore, according to the present invention, as in the invention described in claim 6, the control object is provided in a building, and the prediction means uses the amplitude level as a physical quantity obtained based on the amplitude level. The interlaminar deformation angle of the building due to the long-period ground motion may be predicted based on the physical quantity indicating the natural period and the natural period of the building. Thereby, generation | occurrence | production of the damage by a long period ground motion can be suppressed effectively according to the amount of interlayer deformation produced by a long period ground motion.

  Further, according to the present invention, the control target may be an elevator, and the control unit may control the seismic control operation of the elevator as the control. Thereby, generation | occurrence | production of the damage of the elevator by a long period ground motion can be suppressed effectively.

  By the way, conventionally, as a technique for predicting the intensity of ground motion, there has been a technique of applying a distance attenuation formula obtained by regression analysis of observed ground motion intensity. This technology is widely used in the field of earthquake disaster prevention because it can easily evaluate the strength of earthquake motion, although there are limitations.

  However, existing distance attenuation formulas are mainly related to maximum acceleration and maximum velocity, and are not applicable to long-period ground motion.

  Therefore, the inventor of the present invention described in “A Study on Distance Attenuation Formula of Long-period Ground Motion”, Architectural Institute of Japan Annual Meeting (Kyushu), August 2007, p. "371-372" (hereinafter referred to as "non-patent document") proposed a technique for applying the distance attenuation formula to long-period ground motion.

This technique focuses on the velocity response amount R _pv of the dominant period as the amplitude level of long-period ground motion, and predicts the velocity response amount R _pv using the magnitude, the epicenter distance, and the apparent incident angle as parameters.

  On the other hand, as shown schematically in FIG. 10 as an example, waves constituting long-period ground motion include body waves and surface waves. As a basic characteristic, body waves are compared with surface waves in areas close to the epicenter. It has a characteristic that surface waves become dominant as it moves away from the epicenter.

As an example, as shown in FIG. 11, since the body wave propagates from below to the observation point, the amplitude level of the body wave is related to the epicenter distance X, and the surface wave is horizontal to the observation point. Since it propagates in the direction, the amplitude level of the surface wave is related to the epicenter distance Δ. The geometrical attenuation of the body wave and the surface wave is different. Theoretically, the geometrical attenuation of the body wave is X- ¹ , and the geometrical attenuation of the surface wave is Δ ^−b (b is 0.5 to 1 depending on the degree of dispersibility. .0 value).

  However, in the technique described in the above non-patent document, only the epicenter distance is considered as the distance from the epicenter to the prediction target position, and the epicenter distance is not considered at all. It was not always possible to predict with high accuracy.

  In view of this point, according to the present invention, as in the invention described in claim 8, the earthquake information includes each information of the epicenter position and the epicenter depth of the earthquake as information indicating the occurrence position, and the acquisition unit When the earthquake information is acquired by the above, further comprising a calculation means for calculating the epicenter distance, the epicenter distance and the apparent incident angle at the installation position based on the epicenter position and the epicenter depth information included in the earthquake information. The prediction means is based on the magnitude included in the earthquake information and the epicenter distance, epicenter distance and apparent incident angle calculated by the calculation means, and the earthquake is further increased as the installation position is farther from the epicenter of the earthquake. It is preferable to predict the physical quantity indicating the amplitude level so that the influence of the surface wave due to is higher than that of the body wave. As a result, the amplitude level caused by long-period ground motion can be predicted with high accuracy compared to the case where the epicenter distance is not taken into consideration, and the occurrence of damage caused by long-period ground motion can be more effectively suppressed. it can.

  By the way, as described above, waves constituting long-period ground motion include body waves and surface waves. In areas close to the epicenter, the body waves are more dominant than surface waves. Has the basic characteristic of becoming dominant.

Therefore, the inventors of the present invention have studied this characteristic. In this study, the same measurement data as the JMA magnitude M _j ≧ 5.0 observed at 6 locations in Osaka, 3 locations in Kanto, and Tomakomai located in the central part of the sedimentary plain similar to the technology described in the above non-patent document. In addition to use, actual measurement data having a long S / N ratio with a long period component was further retrieved and used. Here, in the above-mentioned non-patent document, the actual measurement data to be applied is limited to the actual measurement data having an apparent incident angle of 60 ° or more including a lot of dominant surface wave actual measurement data. It was applied without providing. The number of data in each region was 181 in Osaka, 25 in Kanto, and 5 in Tomakomai, and a total of 211 data was used as a database. The apparent incident angle of each measured data is distributed in the range of 12 to 90 ° and includes data close to the epicenter position. FIG. 12 shows the distribution of the meteorological agency magnitude _Mj and epicenter distance of the measured data used in this study.

  In order to clarify the problems of the technology described in the non-patent literature, the actual measurement data includes data with an apparent incident angle ≧ 45 °, which is considered to include a lot of dominant data of surface waves, and a lot of data of dominant body waves. The data were classified into data with an apparent incident angle <45 °, and a regression analysis was performed using each data.

  In this regression analysis, the basic form of the distance attenuation model is assumed to be two types with the epicenter distance and epicenter distance as shown in the following formulas (1) and (2) with reference to the prior art. did. As shown in the above non-patent document, since the dependence on the apparent incident angle is small for the data of the apparent incident angle <45 °, the regression analysis is performed using the distance attenuation model from which the term relating to the apparent incident angle θ is removed. Went.

Here, M _j is the JMA magnitude, X is the epicenter distance, θ is the apparent incident angle, and equation (1) is the same model as the technique described in the non-patent document.

  Equation (2) is a model in which the epicenter distance X in equation (1) is changed to the epicenter distance Δ.

  Prediction formulas (regression formulas) obtained by regression analysis of data with an apparent incident angle θ ≧ 45 ° by formulas (1) and (2) are shown in formulas (3) and (4).

  FIG. 13 and FIG. 14 show a comparison between predicted values and observed values (actually measured values) based on the prediction formulas (3) and (4). Here, the logarithmic standard deviation of the error between the predicted value and the observed value according to Equation (3) is 0.21, and the logarithmic standard deviation of the error between the predicted value and the observed value according to Equation (4) is 0.19. It was.

  On the other hand, prediction formulas obtained by regression analysis of data with an apparent incident angle θ <45 ° by the equations (1) and (2) are shown in equations (5) and (6).

  15 and 16 show a comparison between the predicted value and the observed value based on the prediction formulas (5) and (6). Here, the logarithmic standard deviation of the error between the predicted value and the observed value according to equation (5) is 0.18, and the logarithmic standard deviation of the error between the predicted value and the observed value according to equation (6) is 0.20. It was. In addition, the dotted line in FIGS. 13-16 represents the standard deviation.

  According to the above results, the logarithmic standard deviation of the prediction error is smaller when the epicenter distance is used for the data of the apparent incident angle θ ≧ 45 °, and is smaller when the epicenter distance is used for the data of the apparent incident angle θ <45 °. . In other words, the technology of the above-mentioned non-patent literature using the epicenter distance has application limitations, and it is necessary to fundamentally review how to determine the distance in order to improve prediction accuracy and expand the scope of application. It shows that there is. It should be noted that the prediction formula (equation (6)) based on the epicenter distance obtained from the data of the apparent incident angle θ <45 ° is a positive value in which the coefficient of Δ is physically unnatural, and the data is small in the apparent incident angle θ. On the other hand, the application of epicenter distance is basically impossible.

  Thus, it was found that the distance used in the prediction formula is better when the apparent incident angle is small, and the epicenter distance is better when the apparent incident angle is large. Therefore, in order to improve the technology of the above non-patent document and improve the prediction accuracy and expand the application range, the distance applied to the prediction formula so that the epicenter distance is shifted from the epicenter distance as the apparent incident angle increases. Need to be set. There are many possible methods. As a specific example, a method of applying the distance D calculated by applying the following equation (7) or (8) as the distance can be exemplified.

Here, H is a focal depth, theta _S represents each reference angle for shifting from the epicenter distance epicenter distance.

In both formulas (7) and (8), D = X when θ = 0 °, D = Δ when θ ≧ θ _S , and the epicenter distance X as the apparent incident angle θ increases when 0 <θ <θ _S. To the epicenter distance Δ. Note that the reason why the epicenter distance Δ itself is applied as the distance D in the region θ ≧ θ _S is that the surface wave is superior to the body wave when the distance from the epicenter is increased to some extent. Because it is.

  Regarding the geometric attenuation coefficient, it is possible to use a function such as α as described above to sequentially shift from the geometric wave attenuation coefficient of the body wave to the geometric wave attenuation coefficient of the surface wave as the apparent incident angle θ increases.

  Next, the effect of the improvement will be shown through an example in which all measured data are subjected to regression analysis using the distance attenuation model represented by the following equation (9) to which the distance calculated by the equation (7) is applied as the distance D.

The prediction formula obtained as a result of this regression analysis is the following formula (10). Incidentally, it was reference angle theta _S is 65 ° used in equation (7).

  FIG. 17 shows a comparison between the predicted value and the observed value based on this prediction formula. The logarithmic standard deviation of the prediction error of the distance attenuation formula of the past maximum acceleration and maximum speed is about 0.25 to 0.3, but the logarithmic standard deviation of the prediction error of this prediction formula is as small as 0.19, and the observed value And the predicted values generally show a good correspondence.

  Furthermore, in order to confirm the effect of improvement, all the actual measurement data were subjected to regression analysis using the models of the equations (1) and (2). The prediction formulas obtained in this way are shown in formulas (11) and (12).

  18 and 19 show a comparison between the predicted value and the observed value by each prediction formula. In this case, the logarithmic standard deviation of the prediction error is 0.21 to 0.22, and the error by the above-described improvement method is smaller, indicating the effectiveness of the improvement method.

  On the basis of the above examination results, the invention according to claim 8 is the invention according to claim 9, wherein the prediction means includes the magnitude included in the earthquake information and the epicenter distance calculated by the calculation means. Based on the epicenter distance and the apparent incident angle, the physical quantity indicating the amplitude level is predicted so that the influence of the epicenter distance becomes higher compared to the epicenter distance as the installation position is farther from the epicenter of the earthquake. It is good also as what to do. As a result, the physical quantity indicating the amplitude level due to the long-period ground motion can be predicted more easily, and as a result, the occurrence of damage due to the long-period ground motion can be more effectively suppressed.

  Further, in the invention according to claim 8 or claim 9, as in the invention according to claim 10, the prediction unit is configured to perform the prediction based on the magnitude, the epicenter distance, the epicenter distance, and the apparent incident angle. The physical quantity indicating the amplitude level may be predicted using an arithmetic expression derived in advance so that the physical quantity indicating the amplitude level can be calculated. As a result, the physical quantity indicating the amplitude level due to the long-period ground motion can be predicted more easily, and as a result, the occurrence of damage due to the long-period ground motion can be more effectively suppressed.

  In particular, the invention according to claim 10 is the same as the invention according to claim 11, wherein the calculation formula uses measured data indicating the speed response amount in the past earthquake, and the magnitude, epicenter distance, epicenter distance, and It is also possible to use a prediction formula that is derived as one that can best return to the speed response amount by regression analysis in which the apparent incident angle is included in the explanatory variable and the speed response amount is the explained variable. As a result, the physical quantity indicating the amplitude level due to the long-period ground motion can be predicted with higher accuracy, and as a result, the occurrence of damage due to the long-period ground motion can be more effectively suppressed.

Further, the invention according to claim 11 is characterized in that the prediction formula is a distance in which M _j is a magnitude, and the ratio of the epicenter distance becomes higher than the epicenter distance as the apparent incident angle increases. Regression analysis using the following equation, where θ is the apparent angle of incidence, a, b ₁ , b ₂ , c ₁ , c ₂ , c ₃ , and d are regression coefficients, and R _pv is the velocity response amount: It is good also as what is the prediction formula obtained by these.

  As a result, the physical quantity indicating the amplitude level due to the long-period ground motion can be predicted with higher accuracy, and as a result, the occurrence of damage due to the long-period ground motion can be more effectively suppressed.

Further, in this case, the distance D is calculated by the following equation, where Δ is the epicenter distance, H is the epicenter depth, and θ _S is the reference angle for shifting from the epicenter distance to the epicenter distance. It is good.

  As a result, the physical quantity indicating the amplitude level due to the long-period ground motion can be predicted with higher accuracy, and as a result, the occurrence of damage due to the long-period ground motion can be more effectively suppressed.

Further, the distance D may be calculated by the following arithmetic expression, where X is the epicenter distance, Δ is the epicenter distance, and θ _S is the reference angle for shifting from the epicenter distance to the epicenter distance. .

  As a result, the physical quantity indicating the amplitude level due to the long-period ground motion can be predicted with higher accuracy, and as a result, the occurrence of damage due to the long-period ground motion can be more effectively suppressed.

  On the other hand, in order to achieve the above object, the program according to claim 12 is an acquisition means for acquiring earthquake information including information indicating the magnitude and location of the earthquake provided to the computer in real time when the earthquake occurs. And when the earthquake information is acquired by the acquisition means, based on the earthquake information, a physical quantity indicating an amplitude level of long-period ground motion generated in response to the earthquake at a predetermined installation position of the control target, and the amplitude Predicting means for predicting at least one of physical quantities obtained based on the level, and control means for controlling the control object in real time so as to suppress the occurrence of damage due to the earthquake based on the physical quantities predicted by the predicting means And to function as.

  Therefore, according to the program of the twelfth aspect, the computer can be caused to act similarly to the invention of the first aspect. Therefore, similarly to the first aspect of the invention, without performing unnecessary control, The occurrence of damage due to long-period ground motion can be effectively suppressed.

  In order to achieve the above object, a program according to a thirteenth aspect causes a computer to function as each means constituting the earthquake response control apparatus according to any one of the first to eleventh aspects. Is.

  Therefore, according to the program of claim 13, since it can be made to act on the computer in the same manner as the earthquake response control apparatus of the present invention, as in the case of the earthquake response control apparatus, without performing unnecessary control, The occurrence of damage due to long-period ground motion can be effectively suppressed.

  According to the present invention, when earthquake information that is provided in real time when an earthquake occurs and includes information indicating the magnitude and location of the earthquake is acquired, a predetermined control object is installed based on the earthquake information. Predict at least one of the physical quantity indicating the amplitude level of long-period ground motion generated in response to the earthquake at the position and the physical quantity obtained based on the amplitude level, and suppress the occurrence of damage due to the earthquake based on the predicted physical quantity As described above, since the controlled object is controlled in real time, it is possible to effectively suppress the occurrence of damage due to long-period ground motion without performing unnecessary control.

Parts necessary for controlling the broadcasting position and the like are electrically connected.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 3, the principal part structure of the electric system of the earthquake response control apparatus 40 which has an especially important role in this system is demonstrated.

  As shown in the figure, the earthquake response control apparatus 40 according to the present embodiment includes a CPU (central processing unit) 40A that controls the operation of the entire earthquake response control apparatus 40, and a work area when various processing programs are executed by the CPU 40A. RAM 40B used as a memory, ROM 40C in which various control programs, various parameters, and the like are stored in advance, a secondary storage unit (here, a hard disk device) 40D used to store various information, and various information are input. Between the keyboard 40E used for display, the display 40F used for displaying various information, the input / output port 40G for communicating with the external device via the network 12, and the connected external device And input / output I / F (interface) 40H that controls the transmission and reception of various information.

  Accordingly, the CPU 40A is connected to the network 12 via the access to the RAM 40B, the ROM 40C, and the secondary storage unit 40D, the acquisition of various input information via the keyboard 40E, the display of various information on the display 40F, and the input / output port 40G. It is possible to perform communication with the external device and exchange of various information with the external device via the input / output I / F 40H.

  The long-period vibration sensor 42, the elevator control panel 44, and the broadcast control panel 46 described above are connected to the input / output I / F 40H. Therefore, the CPU 40A acquires a signal indicating the vibration of the long-period ground motion detected by the long-period vibration sensor 42, controls the behavior of the elevator via the elevator control panel 44, and broadcasts by the broadcasting system via the broadcast control panel 46. Control of contents, broadcast position, etc. can be performed.

  On the other hand, FIG. 4 schematically illustrates main storage contents of the secondary storage unit 40D provided in the earthquake response control apparatus 40. As shown in the figure, the secondary storage unit 40D stores a database area DB for storing various databases, a control program for controlling the earthquake response control device 40, a program for performing various processes, and the like. A program area PG is provided.

  The database area DB includes a control information database DB1 and a building information database DB2. Hereinafter, the configuration of these databases will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

  As shown in FIG. 5, the control information database DB <b> 1 according to the present embodiment indicates damage assumption for each of a plurality of predetermined stages of the average interlayer deformation angle in the building in which the earthquake response control device 40 is provided. Information is stored, and at each stage of the average interlayer deformation angle, and at each of a plurality of predetermined stages of the arrival time of long-period ground motion, a predetermined control object (in this embodiment, Information (hereinafter referred to as “control information”) indicating control contents for the elevator and the broadcast system is stored and configured.

  As shown in the figure, in the earthquake response control system 10 according to the present embodiment, the average interlayer deformation angle stage is 0 or more and less than 1/300, 1/300 or more and less than 1/200, 1 / Four stages of 200 or more and less than 1/100 and 1/100 or more are applied. As the stage of the arrival time, three stages of 0 second or more and less than 10 seconds, 10 seconds or more and less than 20 seconds, and 20 seconds or more are used. Applicable.

  For example, when the average interlaminar deformation angle is 1/200 or more and less than 1/100 and the arrival time is 10 seconds or more and less than 20 seconds, the expected damage is damage to the extent that equipment damage and equipment failure are possible. As an elevator control content, all elevators are immediately stopped at the nearest floor, then the low-speed elevator is moved to a predetermined stable position, and the high-speed elevator is checked whether people are trapped. In the case of being confined, the control content that a predetermined response is performed and that the normal operation is restored after the operation stop inspection is completed for all elevators is registered. Because it will be shaken by the earthquake, we will stop at the nearest floor. After stopping, please calm down and get out of the elevator. " It has been.

  In FIG. 5, for convenience, the control content is schematically shown as text, but in practice, code information predetermined in correspondence with the control content is registered.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 6, the building information database DB2 according to the present embodiment is configured to store information on the position, height, and primary natural period.

  In addition, the said position is information which shows the position of the building in which the earthquake response control apparatus 40 is provided, and in the earthquake response control system 10 according to the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. It consists of each piece of information. The height is information indicating the height of the building, and the primary natural period is information indicating the primary natural period of the building.

Moreover, although illustration is omitted, in the earthquake response control system 10 according to the present embodiment, the magnitude of the epicenter when an earthquake occurs in a predetermined area of the secondary storage unit 40D of each earthquake response control device 40, and Based on the epicenter distance, epicenter distance, and apparent incident angle at the position of the building where the earthquake response control device 40 is provided (hereinafter referred to as “predicted target position”), the predicted target position is far from the epicenter of the earthquake. The calculation formula for calculating the speed response amount R _pv due to the long-period ground motion, which is derived in advance as the degree of influence of the surface wave due to the earthquake as compared with the body wave, is stored in advance.

  In the earthquake response control system 10 according to the present embodiment, the epicenter increases as the prediction target position is farther from the epicenter of the earthquake, based on the magnitude, the epicenter distance, the epicenter distance, and the apparent incident angle as the arithmetic expression. We applied what was derived in advance as the influence of distance is higher than the epicenter distance. Specifically, we used measured data indicating the speed response in past earthquakes, A prediction formula derived as one that can best return to the speed response amount by regression analysis including the distance, epicenter distance, and apparent incident angle as explanatory variables, and the speed response amount as an explained variable (an example) The prediction formula shown in the equation (10) is applied.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 7, the operation of the earthquake response control system 10 according to the present embodiment will be described. FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing the flow of processing of the earthquake response control program executed by the CPU 40A of the earthquake response control device 40 when the real time earthquake information is received from the real time earthquake information supply source 20 according to the occurrence of the earthquake. The program is stored in advance in the program area PG of the secondary storage unit 40D.

  First, in step 100 of the figure, based on the received real-time earthquake information, the building (hereinafter referred to as “control target building”) in which the earthquake response control device 40 is provided by the earthquake indicated by the real-time earthquake information. An amplitude level prediction processing routine program for predicting the amplitude level of long-period ground motion occurring at the position (prediction target position) is executed. The amplitude level prediction processing routine program according to the present embodiment will be described below with reference to FIG.

In step 200 in the figure, each information of the Meteorological Agency magnitude M _j , the epicenter position (the epicenter position), and the epicenter depth H is extracted from the received real-time earthquake information. In the next step 202, the position information is extracted from the building information database. In the next step 204, which is read from DB2, the calculation formula (prediction formula) is read from a predetermined area of the secondary storage unit 40D.

  In the next step 206, the epicenter distance X, the epicenter distance Δ, and the apparent incident angle θ are calculated using the position information read out in the process of step 202 and the epicenter position and the epicenter depth H extracted in the process of step 200. To do. The epicenter distance Δ can be obtained by calculating the Euclidean distance between the epicenter position and the position (prediction target position) indicated by the position information. The apparent incident angle θ can be obtained from the following equation (13), and the epicenter distance X can be obtained from the following equation (14).

In the next step 208, whether the apparent incident angle θ is equal to or smaller than a reference angle θ _S (corresponding to the equation (10), θ _S = 65 °) corresponding to the above equation. If the answer is affirmative, the process proceeds to step 210, the coefficient α is calculated using the following equation (15), and then the process proceeds to step 214.

  On the other hand, if a negative determination is made in step 208, the process proceeds to step 212, and 0 (zero) is substituted for the coefficient α, and then the process proceeds to step 214.

  In step 214, the distance D is calculated by substituting the coefficient α, epicenter distance Δ, and epicenter depth H obtained by the above processing into the following equation (16).

In the next step 216, the speed response amount R at the prediction target position is substituted by substituting the distance D, JMA magnitude M _j , and apparent incident angle θ obtained by the above processing into the arithmetic expression read out in the processing of step 204. _pv is calculated as a predicted value of the amplitude level at the prediction target position. When the above process ends, the process proceeds to step 102 of the earthquake response control program (see FIG. 7).

In step 102 of the earthquake response control program, each information of the height and the primary natural period is read from the building information database DB2, and in the next step 104, the velocity as the amplitude level calculated by the amplitude level prediction processing routine program is read. The displacement response amount R _pd of the control target building is calculated by substituting the response amount R _pv and the read primary natural period T _b into the following equation (17).

In the next step 106, the read height and h, by substituting the height h and the calculated displacement amount of response R _pd in the following equation (18), the average story drift d _r of the controlled object building calculate.

In the next step 108, or more JMA Magnitude M _j obtained by the _process, epicenter location, based on the focal depth H and the like, it calculates an arrival time T _a S-wave at the location of the building. The method for calculating the arrival time based on the real-time earthquake information is well known as disclosed in Patent Document 3 and Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2004-224469 described above. Is omitted.

In the next step 110, the steps of the average story drift average story drift d _r calculated by the processing of step 106 belongs to the arrival time step arrival time T _a belongs calculated by the processing of step 108 Corresponding control information is read from the control information database DB1, and in the next step 112, the control indicated by the read control information is executed on the elevator control panel 44 and the broadcast control panel 46, and then the earthquake response control program is executed. Exit.

By the process of step 112 of the seismic response control program, for example, if the average is less than story drift _{d r} is 1/200 or 1/100, and the arrival time _{T a} is less than 10 seconds or more 20 seconds, all After the elevator is immediately stopped at the nearest floor, the low-speed elevator is moved to a predetermined stable position, while the high-speed elevator is checked to see if a person is trapped. Seismic control operation is performed by causing the elevator control panel 44 to perform control such as reporting to the security company as a warning, and returning to normal operation after the operation stoppage inspection has been completed for all elevators. Execute.

  Also, in this case, simultaneously with the control of this elevator, all the elevator cars are broadcasted by the broadcasting system. “Because it will be shaken by an earthquake, we will stop at the nearest floor. After stopping, please settle out of the elevator. The broadcast control board 46 is controlled to perform the broadcast.

Further, for example, when the average story drift d _r is less than 1/300 or 1/200, regardless of the arrival time T _a, after immediately stop all elevators in the nearest floor, long period The seismic control operation is executed by causing the elevator control panel 44 to execute control to return to normal operation when it is determined that the long-period ground motion has converged based on the detection signal of the vibration sensor 42.

  Also, at the same time as controlling this elevator, the broadcasting system uses the broadcasting system to say "Since it will shake a little due to the earthquake, it will stop at the nearest floor. After stopping, please relax and get out of the elevator." The broadcast control board 46 is caused to execute control for performing the broadcast.

  By this control, as shown in FIG. 9 as an example, since an announcement is made in the elevator in a very short time after receiving real-time earthquake information, the building is not shaken due to long-period ground motion. The elevator occupant can be moved away from the elevator, and can be automatically returned to normal operation when the long-period ground motion converges. On the other hand, if normal seismic control operation is performed without performing control based on the predicted value of the amplitude level of long-period ground motion by this earthquake response control program, as shown in the figure as an example, Since the elevator is stopped after the swaying of the elevator starts, there is a high possibility that the passenger of the elevator is trapped in the elevator, and the restoration of the elevator is greatly delayed.

As described above in detail, in this embodiment, earthquake information (in this embodiment, real-time earthquake information) that is provided in real time when an earthquake occurs and includes information indicating the magnitude and location of the earthquake is provided. When acquired, based on the earthquake information, a physical quantity indicating the amplitude level of long-period ground motion generated in response to the earthquake at the installation position of a predetermined control target (in this embodiment, an elevator and a broadcasting system) In the embodiment, a speed response amount R _pv ) and a physical quantity (in this embodiment, an average interlayer deformation angle) obtained based on the amplitude level are predicted, and based on the predicted physical quantity, damage caused by the earthquake is estimated. Since the controlled object is controlled in real time so as to suppress the occurrence, it is possible to prevent damage caused by long-period ground motion without performing unnecessary control. It is possible to effectively suppress the raw.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the predicted physical quantity is divided into a plurality of predetermined stages, and the control is performed for each of the sections. Therefore, the control target can be controlled more finely, resulting in more advantageous effects. In particular, the occurrence of damage due to long-period ground motion can be suppressed.

  In the present embodiment, the arrival time of the S wave due to the earthquake at the installation position is estimated based on the earthquake information, and the control is performed based on the predicted physical quantity and the estimated arrival time. As a result of being able to control the control target more finely, it is possible to more effectively suppress the occurrence of damage due to long-period ground motion.

  In particular, in the present embodiment, the estimated arrival time is divided into a plurality of predetermined stages, and the control is performed for each of the sections. As a result, the control target can be controlled more finely. The occurrence of damage due to long-period ground motion can be effectively suppressed.

  Further, in the present embodiment, control information indicating the control content for the control target for each category is stored in advance by storage means (in the present embodiment, the secondary storage unit 40D), and the corresponding control information is stored. Since it reads from the said memory | storage means and performs the said control based on the said control information, generation | occurrence | production of the damage by a long period ground motion can be suppressed more easily.

  In the present embodiment, the object to be controlled is provided in a building, and as a physical quantity obtained based on the amplitude level, a physical quantity indicating the amplitude level and a natural period of the building (in this embodiment) Based on the primary natural period), the interlaminar deformation angle of the building due to the long-period ground motion is predicted, so the occurrence of damage due to the long-period ground motion is effectively suppressed according to the amount of inter-layer deformation caused by the long-period ground motion can do.

  In the present embodiment, the controlled object is an elevator, and as the control, the control of the seismic control operation of the elevator is performed. Therefore, it is possible to effectively suppress the occurrence of elevator damage due to long-period ground motion. Can do.

  Further, in this embodiment, the earthquake information includes each information of the epicenter position and the focal depth of the earthquake as information indicating the occurrence position, and when the earthquake information is acquired, the epicenter included in the earthquake information is acquired. Based on each information of position and epicenter depth, calculate the epicenter distance, epicenter distance and apparent incident angle at the installation position, and the magnitude included in the earthquake information, the calculated epicenter distance, epicenter distance and apparent incident angle Based on the above, since the physical quantity indicating the amplitude level is predicted so that the influence of the surface wave due to the earthquake becomes higher compared to the body wave as the installation position is farther from the epicenter of the earthquake, the epicenter distance Compared with the case of prediction without taking into account, the amplitude level caused by long-period ground motion can be predicted with high accuracy, resulting in more effective occurrence of damage due to long-period ground motion. It can be suppressed.

  In particular, in the present embodiment, based on the magnitude included in the earthquake information and the calculated epicenter distance, epicenter distance, and apparent incident angle, the influence of the epicenter distance increases as the installation position is further from the epicenter of the earthquake. Since the physical quantity indicating the amplitude level is predicted so that the degree is higher than the epicenter distance, the physical quantity indicating the amplitude level due to the long-period ground motion can be predicted more easily. The occurrence of damage due to long-period ground motion can be suppressed.

  In the present embodiment, the physical quantity indicating the amplitude level can be calculated based on the magnitude, the epicenter distance, the epicenter distance, and the apparent incident angle using an arithmetic expression derived in advance. Since the physical quantity indicating the amplitude level is predicted, the physical quantity indicating the amplitude level due to the long-period ground motion can be predicted more easily. As a result, the occurrence of damage due to the long-period ground motion can be more effectively suppressed.

  In particular, in this embodiment, the calculation formula uses measured data indicating the speed response amount in past earthquakes, and includes the magnitude, the epicenter distance, the epicenter distance, and the apparent incident angle as explanatory variables, and the speed response amount. Is a prediction formula derived as the one that can best return to the velocity response amount by regression analysis using as the explained variable, so that the physical quantity indicating the amplitude level due to long-period ground motion can be predicted with higher accuracy. As a result, the occurrence of damage due to long-period ground motion can be suppressed more effectively.

  In this embodiment, since the prediction formula is a prediction formula obtained by regression analysis using the formula (9), a physical quantity indicating an amplitude level due to long-period ground motion can be predicted with higher accuracy. As a result, the occurrence of damage due to long-period ground motion can be suppressed more effectively.

  Furthermore, in this embodiment, since the distance D used in the prediction formula is calculated by the formula (16), the physical quantity indicating the amplitude level due to the long-period ground motion can be predicted with higher accuracy. Therefore, the occurrence of damage due to long-period ground motion can be suppressed more effectively.

  As mentioned above, although this invention was demonstrated using embodiment, the technical scope of this invention is not limited to the range as described in the said embodiment. Various modifications or improvements can be added to the above-described embodiment without departing from the gist of the invention, and embodiments to which such modifications or improvements are added are also included in the technical scope of the present invention.

Even if some constituent requirements are deleted from all the constituent requirements shown in the embodiment, as long as an effect is obtained, a configuration from which these some constituent requirements are deleted can be extracted as an invention.

  For example, in the above-described embodiment, the case where an elevator and a broadcasting system are applied as the control target of the present invention has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this, for example, a high-rise building, a seismic isolated building, a large-sized building Other various facilities and members provided in structures that are easily affected by long-period ground motion such as tanks, suspension bridges, temporary scaffolds for construction, tower cranes, and the like can also be controlled.

As an example in the case of applying a member provided in a skyscraper as a control object of the present invention, the fixing degree of the attachment part of each brace used in the skyscraper is made variable using an electromagnet or the like, Before long-period ground motion arrives, the fixed degree is adjusted according to the magnitude of the physical quantity (speed response amount R _pv ) indicating the predicted amplitude level, and the window cleaning gondola provided in the skyscraper In addition to applying a weight to prevent shaking, it is possible to electrically switch between a state in which the weight is housed in the gondola and a state in which the weight is suspended below the gondola using a wire brace or the like, and long-period ground motion occurs. In normal times, the above-mentioned weight is housed in the gondola, but when the physical quantity indicating the predicted amplitude level of the long-period ground motion exceeds a predetermined level, the long-period ground motion arrives. If the physical quantity indicating the amplitude level of the predicted long-period ground motion exceeds the predetermined level, the data stored by the computer is transferred to the computer provided in another building via a network etc. For example, the form of backup by transferring the data.

  In addition, as an example of a case in which a member provided in a base-isolated building is applied as a control target of the present invention, the base-isolated building is controlled by a hydraulic damper so that long-period ground motion arrives. For example, the hydraulic control valve of the hydraulic damper may be previously adjusted so that the rigidity of the base-isolated building is adapted to the amplitude level of long-period ground motion.

  In these cases, the same effects as in the above embodiment can be obtained.

In the above embodiment, a case where a control target (here, an elevator and a broadcasting system) is controlled using a physical quantity (here, the average interlayer deformation angle _dr ) obtained based on the amplitude level of long-period ground motion. As described above, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the control target is controlled so as to suppress the occurrence of damage caused by the earthquake using the physical quantity itself indicating the amplitude level of the long-period ground motion. In addition, the control target can be controlled to suppress the occurrence of damage due to the earthquake using both the physical quantity indicating the amplitude level of the long-period ground motion and the physical quantity obtained based on the amplitude level. .

  As an example of a case where the control target is controlled so as to suppress the occurrence of damage caused by the earthquake using the physical quantity itself indicating the amplitude level of the long-period ground motion, the average interlayer deformation angle in the control information database DB1 shown in FIG. Instead, the amplitude level of long-period ground motion can be applied to exemplify the form used in the same manner as in the above embodiment. Further, both a physical quantity indicating the amplitude level of long-period ground motion (hereinafter referred to as “first physical quantity”) and a physical quantity obtained based on the amplitude level (hereinafter referred to as “second physical quantity”) are used. As an example of the case of controlling the controlled object so as to suppress the occurrence of damage caused by an earthquake, when at least one of the first physical quantity and the second physical quantity is greater than or equal to a predetermined threshold corresponding to each In addition, the control information database DB1 shown in FIG. 5 can be applied to exemplify a mode for controlling the elevator and the broadcasting system as in the above embodiment.

  In these cases, the same effects as in the above embodiment can be obtained.

  Further, in the above embodiment, the case where the Meteorological Agency magnitude is applied as the magnitude of the present invention has been described, but the present invention is not limited to this, for example, moment magnitude, tsunami magnitude, surface wave magnitude, body wave It can also be set as the form which applies other magnitudes, such as a magnitude. In this case as well, the same effects as in the above embodiment can be obtained.

In the above embodiment, the case where the speed response amount R _pv is applied as the physical quantity indicating the amplitude level of the present invention has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this, for example, the maximum at the prediction target position. A physical quantity indicating another amplitude level such as acceleration or maximum speed may be applied. As a form example in this case, by performing regression analysis using actual measurement data of the physical quantity to be applied (regression analysis using the formula (9) as an example), a prediction formula for calculating the physical quantity is derived in advance and applied. The form to do can be illustrated. In this case as well, the same effects as in the above embodiment can be obtained.

In the above embodiment, the case where the epicenter distance Δ itself is applied as the distance D by applying 0 (zero) to the coefficient α at the position where the apparent incident angle θ exceeds the reference angle θ _S has been described. The present invention is not limited to this. For example, without applying the reference angle θ _S , the distance D is simply increased so that the ratio of the epicenter distance Δ to the distance D increases as the apparent incident angle θ increases. May be derived. As an example of the form in this case, the form which calculates coefficient (alpha) by (15) Formula in any apparent incident angle (theta) can be illustrated. In this case, although the accuracy of predicting the amplitude level is slightly lower than that in the above embodiment, it is not necessary to switch the setting of the coefficient α according to the magnitude of the apparent incident angle θ. You will be able to predict the level.

  In the above embodiment, the case where the distance D is calculated by the equation (16) has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the distance D is calculated by the following equation (19). It can also be set as the form to do.

  In this case as well, the same effects as in the above embodiment can be obtained.

  In the above embodiment, the case where the amplitude level of the prediction target position is calculated using the prediction formula shown by the formula (10) has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the past earthquake motion In addition to using the measured data indicating the speed response amount at the same time, including the magnitude, epicenter distance, epicenter distance, and apparent incident angle as explanatory variables, the regression analysis using the speed response amount as the explained variable is the best for the speed response amount. It is also possible to adopt a form in which the amplitude level of the prediction target position is calculated by applying other prediction formulas derived as those that can be regressed (for example, prediction formulas having different values of the coefficients in formula (10)). it can. In this case as well, the same effects as in the above embodiment can be obtained.

As an example of this case, the earthquake response control device 40 holds information indicating the position, height, and primary natural period for all buildings to be managed as a database, and all the objects to be managed It is possible to exemplify a mode in which a building control target is set to be remotely operable, and the earthquake response control program according to the present embodiment is executed corresponding to each building. In this case as well, the same effects as in the above embodiment can be obtained.

  In addition, the structure (refer FIGS. 1-4) of the earthquake response control system 10 and the earthquake response control apparatus 40 which were demonstrated by the said embodiment is an example, and it is an unnecessary site | part within the range which does not deviate from the main point of this invention.
