  The simultaneous lighting section 11a is installed in a plurality of car indicator lights 21A... 21N installed in the car 2 and landings on each floor by the operation of maintenance personnel who have entered the car 2 or by remote operation from the monitoring center 5. The platform display lights 41A... 41N are turned on all at once.

  The abnormality detection unit 11b is provided with a car display lamp 21A ... 21N and a hall display through a lighting detection unit 23 installed on the car operation panel 20 described later, and a lighting detection unit 43A ... 43N installed on the hall operation panel 40A ... 40N. A lighting abnormality of the lamps 41A to 41N is detected.

  The inspection notification unit 11c notifies that the lighting abnormality or the inspection is in progress by blinking of the car indicator lights 21A to 21N installed in the car 2.

  The operation control unit 11d moves the car 2 to the designated floor so that maintenance personnel can visually check the landing indicator lights 41A to 41N installed at the landings on each floor.

  The image acquisition unit 11e activates the camera 3 installed in the car 2 when a lighting abnormality is detected in any of the car indicator lights 21A... 21N installed in the car 2. An image obtained by photographing the lighting state of the car indicator lamps 21A to 21N is acquired.

  The notification unit 11f transmits to the monitoring center 5 images of the car display lights 21A... 21N photographed by the camera 3 together with the abnormality detection results of the car display lights 21A... 21N and the landing display lights 41A.

  The transmission control unit 12 transmits various commands 52 to the car operation panel 20 installed in the car 2 and the landing operation panels 40A to 40N installed at the landings on each floor in accordance with the transmission command 51 from the main control unit 11. Take control.

  The elevator control device 1 is connected to the monitoring center 5 via a public line 6. The monitoring center 5 remotely monitors the operating states of a plurality of elevators existing in various places, and takes measures such as dispatching maintenance personnel when any abnormality is detected.

  The car 2 moves on each floor with passengers on it. A car operation panel 20 is provided inside the car 2. The car operation panel 20 is provided with a plurality of car indicator lights 21A to 21N, a car control unit 22, a lighting detection unit 23, a display unit 24, and an operation unit 25.

  The car indicator lamps 21A to 21N perform response display of call buttons (destination floor designation buttons) corresponding to each floor, floor display, control display, etc. Light bulbs, LEDs (light emitting diodes), etc. Used. The car control unit 22 performs display control in the car 2 and door opening / closing control (not shown). The lighting detection unit 23 detects lighting states of the car indicator lights 21A to 21N. The display unit 24 displays the current position and driving direction of the car 2. The operation unit 25 is used when maintenance personnel perform an inspection operation.

  Here, the lighting detection unit 23 uses a detection circuit corresponding to the type of the indicator lamp. That is, for example, when the car display lamps 21A to 21N are composed of lamps or lanterns, current values that flow when these indicator lights are turned on are detected, and the current values are below a preset threshold value. When it is, it is determined that the lighting is abnormal. Further, when the car indicator lights 21A to 21N are constituted by LEDs, it is determined that the lighting is abnormal when the luminance is equal to or lower than a preset threshold value by detecting the luminance of the LED.

  In such a configuration, when the car interior control unit 22 receives the lighting command 52 from the main control unit 11 of the elevator control device 1, it outputs a lighting command 61 to the car indicator lights 21 </ b> A to 21 </ b> N, and The car indicator lamps 21A to 21N are turned on.

  The lighting detection unit 23 receives the lighting signal 62 from the car indicator lights 21 </ b> A to 21 </ b> N, determines whether the lighting is normally performed, and transmits the result to the in-car control unit 22 as a lighting detection signal 63. To do. The in-car control unit 22 outputs a display signal 64 to the display unit 24 or inputs an operation signal 65 from the operation unit 25.

  A camera 3 is installed inside the car 2 toward the car operation panel 20. The camera 3 captures the car indicator lights 21A to 21N provided on the car operation panel 20, and transfers the captured image 53 to the main control unit 11.

  On the other hand, landing operation panels 40A to 40N are installed at the landings on each floor. The landing operation panels 40A to 40N are provided with landing indicator lights 41A to 41N, landing control units 42A to 42N, and lighting detection units 43A to 43N installed at the landings, respectively.

  The landing indicator lamps 41A to 41N are used to display a floor button, a control display, etc. in addition to a call button response display for designating a passenger's destination direction such as an upward direction or a downward direction. It is done. The landing control units 42A to 42N perform display control for the landing indicator lights 41A to 41N according to instructions from the main control unit 11. The lighting detection units 43A to 43N detect lighting abnormalities of the landing indicator lights 41A to 41N. As for the lighting detection units 43A to 43N, as in the lighting detection unit 23 of the car 2, a detection circuit corresponding to the type of the indicator lamp is used.

  In such a configuration, when the landing control units 42A to 42N of each floor receive the lighting command 52 from the main control unit 11 of the elevator control device 1, the lighting commands 71A to 71N are respectively given to the landing indicator lights 41A to 41N. Is output to light the landing indicator lights 41A to 41N.

  The lighting detection unit 43 receives the lighting signals 72A to 72N from the landing indicator lights 41A to 41N to determine whether or not the lighting is normally performed, and the result is sent to the landing control unit 42 as lighting detection signals 73A to 73N. Send.

  Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described by dividing into (a) indicator lamp simultaneous lighting inspection process, (b) indicator lamp individual lighting inspection process, and (c) indicator lamp remote inspection process.

(A) Indicator lamp simultaneous lighting inspection process
First, the indicator light simultaneous lighting inspection process will be described. This is to check the lighting states of the car indicator lights 21A to 21N and the landing indicator lights 41A to 41N on the respective floors in a state where maintenance personnel are in the car 2.

  FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing the operation of the indicator lamp simultaneous lighting check process.

  When a maintenance person gets into the car 2 and inputs a “simultaneous lighting” command to the in-car control unit 22 by operating the operation unit 25 (step S1), the in-car control unit 22 performs a main control on the simultaneous lighting command. It transmits to the part 11 (step S2).

  When the main control unit 11 receives the simultaneous lighting command, the main control unit 11 transmits a command to turn on all the indicator lights simultaneously to the car control unit 22 and the landing control unit 42 on each floor (step S3). As a result, the car indicator lights 21A to 21N are turned on through the car controller 22, and the landing indicator lights 41A to 41N are turned on through the landing controller 42 (step S4).

  Here, as for the car indicator lamps 21A to 21N, since maintenance personnel are in the car 2, the lighting state can be visually confirmed, and the lights are turned off by the operation of the operation unit 25 after the confirmation ( Step S5). In this case, the main control unit 11 may turn off the car indicator lights 21A to 21N after a certain time.

  In addition, as a result of the maintenance person visually confirming the lighting state, if there is a lighting abnormality such as non-lighting or blinking in the car indicator lights 21A to 21N, the indicator light is checked and Repairs such as replacement with

  However, as will be described later, in this embodiment, if there is a lighting abnormality in the landing indicator lights 41A to 41N, the indicator lights of the corresponding floors in the car indicator lights 21A to 21N are notified by blinking. It has become. For this reason, when any one of the car indicator lights 21A... 21N is not normally lit in the step S5, it is not known which of the car indicator lights and the landing indicator lights is abnormal.

  Therefore, as shown in FIG. 4, when any of the car indicator lights 21A to 21N does not light normally (Yes in step S5-1), it is installed on the floor of the call button corresponding to the indicator light. In consideration of the possibility that the landing indicator light is abnormally lit, the car 2 is moved to the floor (step S5-2), and the maintenance staff visually confirms the lighting state of the landing indicator light on the floor. (Step S5-3).

  As a result, it can be determined which one of the car display lamp and the board display lamp is abnormal. Thereafter, the board display lamp is inspected, and the other board display lights are inspected as follows.

  That is, for the landing indicator lights 41A to 41N on each floor, the corresponding lighting detection units 43A to 43N detect the lighting state, and if any of the indicator lights is abnormal, the information is used as the landing control units 42A to 42N. (Step S6), the landing control units 42A to 42N transmit information on the landing indicator lights 41A to 41N to the main control unit 11 (step S7).

  Based on the information received from the landing control unit 42, the main control unit 11 determines whether there are any abnormal indicator lights in the landing indicator lights 41A to 41N (step S8). If there is an abnormal indicator light (Yes in step S8), the main control unit 11 displays the floor corresponding to the display unit 24 in the car 2 and notifies the car indicator lights 21A to 21A to notify the maintenance personnel. The indicator lamp of the call button (destination floor designation button) corresponding to the corresponding floor in 21N is blinked (step S9).

  When the maintenance person presses the blinking call button, the main control unit 11 moves the car 2 to the corresponding floor and turns off the blinking call button indicator light (step S10). For example, when the indicator light of the call button on the 3rd floor is blinking, when the call button is pressed, the car 2 moves to the 3rd floor and opens there. As a result, the maintenance staff can visually confirm whether or not there is an abnormality in the hall indicator lamp installed on the third floor.

  After confirming the lighting state of the hall indicator lamp on the floor, the maintenance staff operates the operation unit 25 in the car 2 to turn off the indicator lamp (step S11).

  Returning to step S8, if there are a plurality of abnormal indicator lights in the landing indicator lights 41A to 41N, the processes from step S9 to S11 are repeated. When there is no abnormal indicator lamp or when all the indicator lamps are confirmed (No in step S8), the indicator lamp simultaneous lighting check process ends.

  As described above, when the maintenance person gets in the car 2, the lighting state of the car indicator lights 21A to 21N and the landing indicator lights 41A to 41N on each floor is checked at once without performing any special button operation. be able to.

  In particular, for the hall indicator lights 41A to 41N on each floor, if there is an abnormal indicator light, the car indicator light of the call button corresponding to that floor will flash, so that the inspection result can be grasped at a glance, If the blinking call button is pressed, the car 2 moves to the corresponding floor, so that it is possible to actually check whether there is an abnormality with the eyes of the maintenance staff. Therefore, it is possible to avoid a situation where the replacement of the indicator lamp determined to be abnormal is inadvertently communicated due to, for example, a failure of the lighting detection unit.

(B) Indicator lamp individual lighting inspection process
Next, the indicator lamp individual lighting check process will be described. This is to check individually the lighting states of the landing indicator lights 41A to 41N on each floor in a state where maintenance personnel get into the car 2. It is assumed that the car indicator lights 21A to 21N are all normal.

  FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing the operation of the indicator lamp individual lighting check process.

  When the maintenance person gets into the car 2 and inputs the “individual lighting” command and the “inspection mode” to the car control unit 22 by operating the operation unit 25 (step S21), the car control unit 22 A lighting command is transmitted to the main controller 11 (step S22).

  The above-mentioned “inspection mode” includes “manual inspection mode (first inspection mode)” that is performed while sequentially specifying the floor of the floor that the maintenance staff wants to inspect, and moves all floors one floor at a time from the lowest floor. There is an “automatic inspection mode (second inspection mode)” for confirming the indicator lamp.

  When receiving the individual lighting command, the main control unit 11 determines whether or not the designated inspection mode is the automatic inspection mode (step S23). If it is not the automatic inspection mode, that is, if it is the manual inspection mode (No in Step S23), the main control unit 11 blinks the indicator lights 21A to 21N of the call buttons of the car operation panel 20 (Step S23). S24).

  Here, when the maintenance engineer pushes the blinking car call button, the main control unit 11 moves the car 2 to the corresponding floor and turns the corresponding indicator light among the car indicator lights 21A to 21N. The light is turned off (step S25).

A description will now be made assuming that the maintenance staff has pressed the call button on the Nth floor.
As the call button on the Nth floor is pressed, the car 2 moves to the Nth floor, and the indicator lamp 21N corresponding to the call button on the Nth floor switches from blinking to off. When the car 2 arrives at the Nth floor, the main control unit 11 outputs a lighting command to the Nth floor landing control unit 42N to light the Nth floor landing indicator 41N (step S26). Thereby, on the N floor where the car 2 has arrived, the maintenance staff can confirm the lighting state of the landing indicator light 41N installed there. After the confirmation, the hall indicator light 41N is turned off by the operation of the operation unit 25 in the car 2 (step S27).

  Thereafter, the main control unit 11 determines whether or not there is an unconfirmed landing indicator light (step S28). If there is an unconfirmed landing indicator light (Yes in step S28), the processing of steps S25 to S27 is repeated.

  On the other hand, if the designated inspection mode is the automatic inspection mode (Yes in Step S23), the main control unit 11 moves the car 2 to the lowest floor (the A floor) (Step S31), and the A floor A lighting command is output to the boarding area control unit 42A, and the board A indicator 41A on the A floor is turned on (step S32). Thereby, on the A floor where the car 2 arrives, the maintenance staff can confirm the lighting state of the landing display lamp 41A installed there. After the confirmation, the hall indicator light 41A is turned off by the operation of the operation unit 25 in the car 2, and the car 2 is entered (step S33).

  When the main control unit 11 confirms that the maintenance staff has boarded, the main control unit 11 determines whether it has arrived at the top floor (step S34). As a method for detecting the boarding of maintenance personnel, for example, there is a method in which a maintenance worker holds a wireless ID card and detects it with a card reader (not shown) installed in the car 2. In addition, since it is assumed that only maintenance personnel are on board at the time of inspection, when a load equivalent to one passenger is detected by a load sensor (not shown) installed in the car 2, the maintenance personnel It may be determined that the vehicle has been in the car 2 after the inspection.

  If the current floor is not the top floor (No in step S34), the main control unit 11 moves the car 2 from the current floor to the first floor (step S35) and repeats steps S32 to S33.

  In this way, the car 2 is moved up from the lowest floor one by one, and the maintenance staff visually confirms the lighting states of the landing indicator lights 41A to 41N on each floor. Then, when the car 2 arrives at the top floor and the inspection of the indicator light is finished (Yes in step S35), the indicator light individual lighting inspection process is finished.

  Thus, the lighting state of the landing indicator lights 41A to 41N on each floor can be individually checked while moving the car 2 manually or automatically. Also in this case, since the maintenance staff directly confirms whether there is an abnormality at the landing, inadvertent replacement due to failure of the lighting detection unit can be avoided. In addition, in the car 2, since the car indicator lights 21A to 21N on the floor where the inspection has been completed are turned off, it is possible to grasp at a glance which floor of the hall indicator light has been inspected, and to prevent omission of inspection. it can.

  In this case, in the “automatic inspection mode”, the car 2 is moved to the lowest floor and then moved up one floor at a time, but the car 2 is moved to the top floor. Then, the inspection may be performed by moving the floor down by one floor.

(C) Indicator lamp remote inspection process Next, the indicator lamp remote inspection process will be described. This is to check the lighting state of the car indicator lights 21A to 21N and the landing indicator lights 41A to 41N on each floor by remote control from the monitoring center 5.

  FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing the operation of the indicator light remote inspection process.

  An indicator lamp inspection command is transmitted from the monitoring center 5 to the main control unit 11 of the elevator control device 1 via the public line 6 (step S41). When the main control unit 11 receives the indicator light inspection command, the main control unit 11 transmits a command to turn on all the indicator lights to the car control unit 22 and the landing control unit 42 on each floor (step S42). As a result, the car display lights 21A to 21N are turned on through the car control section 22, and the landing display lights 41A to 41N are turned on through the landing control section 42 (step S43).

  At this time, with respect to the car indicator lights 21A to 21N, the lighting detection unit 23 provided on the car operation panel 20 detects these lighting states, and if there is an abnormality, the information is sent to the in-car control unit 22. Send. In addition, for the landing indicator lights 41A to 41N on each floor, the lighting detection units 43A to 43N provided in the landing operation panels 40A to 40N detect these lighting states, and if there is an abnormality, the information is used as the landing control unit 42A. (Step S44). The in-car control unit 22 and the landing control unit 42 on each floor respectively transmit information on each indicator to the main control unit 11 (step S45).

  The main control unit 11 transmits the information of each indicator lamp received from the car control unit 22 and the landing control unit 42 on each floor to the monitoring center 5 (step S46), and then sends a turn-off command to the landing control unit 42 on each floor. Thus, the landing indicator lights 41A to 41N are turned off (step S47).

  Here, the main control unit 11 determines whether there is a lighting abnormality in the information on the car indicator lights 21A to 21N received from the car control unit 22 (step S48). If there is a lighting abnormality (Yes in step S48), the main control unit 11 determines whether or not the camera 3 is installed in the car 2 (step 49).

  When the camera 3 is installed in the car 2 (Yes in step S49), the main control unit 11 activates the camera 3 to display captured images with the car indicator lights 21A to 21N turned on. It is acquired (step S50) and transmitted to the monitoring center 5 (step S51). As a result, the monitoring center 5 determines whether the car indicator lights 21A to 21N are abnormal as follows.

  That is, as shown in FIG. 7, when the monitoring center 5 receives a captured image (Yes in step S61), it compares it with a reference image stored in a memory (not shown) (step S62). This reference image is an image taken by the camera 3 with the car indicator lights 21A to 21N turned on in advance when they are in a normal state.

  As a result of comparing the reference image with the received captured image, if they match (Yes in step S63), it is determined that the image is normal (step S64). In this case, even if there is an abnormal report in step S46, it is determined as a false report due to a failure of the lighting detection unit 23. On the other hand, if they do not match (No in step S63), it is determined in step S46 that the abnormality has been reported (step S64). The image comparison process uses a generally known method such as pattern matching, and the present invention is not particularly limited to this method.

  Since a monitoring person is resident in the monitoring center 5, it is possible to determine whether there is an abnormality in the car display lights 21A to 21N by looking at the received captured image.

  After transmitting the captured image, the main control unit 11 sends a turn-off command to the car control unit 22, turns off the car indicator lights 21A to 21N (step S52), and ends the remote inspection process. If there is no abnormality in the information on the car indicator lights 21A to 21N (No in step S48), or if the camera 3 is not installed on the car 2 (No in step S49), the above-described captured image is displayed. The processing is not performed, and the remote inspection processing is finished as it is.

  In this way, by the remote operation from the monitoring center 5, the lighting state of the car indicator lights 21A to 21N and the landing indicator lights 41A to 41N on each floor is inspected, and information as a result of the inspection is sent to the monitoring center 5. , Can reduce the burden of inspection by maintenance personnel.

  In addition, regarding the car indicator lights 21A to 21N, when an abnormality is found in the inspection result, the photographed image of the camera 3 can be sent to the monitoring center 5 to correctly determine whether there is an abnormality. It is possible to avoid a situation in which maintenance personnel are inadvertently dispatched when abnormality information is erroneously sent due to a failure of the unit 23.

  As described above, according to these embodiments, there is provided an elevator indicator light inspection device that can reduce the burden of inspection work by maintenance personnel and can easily and accurately inspect all indicator lights.

  In addition, although some embodiment of this invention was described, these embodiment is shown as an example and is not intending limiting the range of invention. These novel embodiments can be implemented in various other forms, and various omissions, replacements, and changes can be made without departing from the scope of the invention. These embodiments and modifications thereof are included in the scope and gist of the invention, and are included in the invention described in the claims and the equivalents thereof.
