JP 2007-297178 A

  Here, when long-period ground motion occurs, if there is no significant difference in the height of multiple buildings built in the same area where the same ground motion (seismic wave level) is observed, The effects on multiple buildings are about the same. That is, among all the buildings built in a common area, a plurality of buildings having a height within a predetermined range can be handled together in order to predict the effects of buildings due to long-period ground motion.

  However, in the conventional earthquake monitoring and control apparatus, the apparatus for predicting the influence on the elevator is configured to determine the influence on the elevator based on the result of the shaking of the building obtained for each building. That is, even when a plurality of buildings having similar heights are built in a common area, the presence or absence of an influence on the elevator due to long-period ground motion is predicted for each building. For this reason, in particular, in a district where buildings are concentrated, such as in urban areas, it is necessary to perform calculation to find the shaking of each of a myriad number of buildings, so it takes a long time to obtain the shaking of all the buildings. As a result, the width of the building may not be predicted in real time, and the determination of the presence or absence of the influence of the long-period earthquake motion on the elevator may be delayed.

  The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problem, and it is possible to use an earthquake impact prediction apparatus configured to predict an effect of an earthquake on a building by corresponding to seismometer earthquake information in substantially real time. An elevator control command device, an elevator device, and an elevator system are provided.

  In the elevator control command device of the present invention, a plurality of virtual buildings having a predetermined height corresponding to each of a plurality of height classes divided so as to be continuous in the height direction are installed in each of a plurality of areas. Information on the swing width of each virtual building obtained from the seismic information of multiple seismometers provided in multiple areas, the height class corresponding to each virtual building, and each virtual building installed The area where a building is installed for each building provided in a plurality of areas, and a prediction information receiving unit that receives earthquake impact prediction information distributed from the outside in association with location information of the area to be And a building information storage unit that associates and stores a height class corresponding to a building, a location information and a height class of an area stored in the building information storage unit and associated with each building, and a building information storage unit. By comparing the location information and height class of the area associated with the virtual building, the information on the swing width of the virtual building corresponding to each building is selected from the earthquake impact prediction information, and the selected virtual building A control command generation unit that generates a control command for controlling the elevator apparatus provided in the building according to the information on the swing width of the vehicle, and a control command transmission unit that transmits the control command to the elevator apparatus to be controlled. I have.

According to the elevator control command device according to the present invention, the area and height class of each building stored in the building information storage unit are compared with the areas and height classes of a plurality of virtual buildings in the earthquake impact prediction information. , Select the information on the swing width of the virtual building corresponding to each building from the earthquake impact prediction information, and control the operation of the elevator equipment installed in each building based on the selected swing width information The control command is generated, and the control command is transmitted to the elevator device to be controlled. This means that all buildings in a common area among all buildings installed in a common area can be handled together to predict the effects of long-period ground motion. It was made in view of the above. Then, by configuring the elevator control command device as described above, each of the swing widths of a plurality of virtual buildings provided in each area as a device for distributing earthquake impact prediction information and having a height within the height class The seismic impact prediction device can be used in which the swing width of the virtual building is actually built in each area and regarded as the swing width of all buildings having a height within the height class of each virtual building. .
Such a seismic impact prediction device avoids predicting the swing width of buildings due to long-period ground motion for every building and predicts the swing width of buildings due to long-period ground motion without performing more calculations than necessary. Can be used. Thereby, the elevator control apparatus can transmit the control command suitable for the shaking of the building currently predicted to an elevator apparatus in real time.

Embodiment 1 FIG.
1 is a configuration diagram of an elevator system according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention.

  In FIG. 1, an elevator system 1A includes an earthquake impact prediction device 10A, an elevator control command device 30, and an elevator device 50A.

First, the earthquake impact prediction apparatus 10A will be described.
The earthquake impact prediction apparatus 10A includes a seismometer information receiving unit 12 that receives earthquake information such as a fluctuation width of a ground surface due to a long-period ground motion measured by N seismometers arranged in a plurality of areas. And an epicenter information receiving unit 13 for receiving epicenter information such as the epicenter, the depth of the epicenter, and the magnitude (magnitude) of the earthquake included in the information of the earthquake early warning.

The earthquake impact prediction apparatus 10A includes a prediction target area storage unit 15 that stores position information of areas defined as unit areas each having a predetermined range, and a plurality of sections that are divided so as to be continuous in the height direction. Based on the earthquake information received by the building class storage unit 16 for storing the building class information defined by the height class and the seismometer information receiving unit 12, the ground surface fluctuation width due to the long-period ground motion in each area is calculated. And a ground motion prediction unit 18 that predicts the amplitude of the motion.
Each area is set as a unit region for predicting the amplitude of the ground surface due to long-period ground motion.

  Further, the earthquake impact prediction apparatus 10A includes a plurality of predetermined buildings (a plurality of virtual buildings) having a predetermined height corresponding to each of a plurality of height classes divided so as to be continuous in the height direction. The building vibration prediction unit 20 that calculates the swing width of each of the plurality of virtual buildings built in each area based on the ground swing width, and information on the swing width of the virtual building And an earthquake impact information distribution unit 22 that distributes earthquake impact prediction information in which the height class corresponding to the virtual building is associated with the position information of the area where the virtual building is installed.

The seismometers are scattered and installed in a wide area including a plurality of areas. For example, one seismometer may be installed in each area, or may be installed in a plurality of areas appropriately dispersed. Moreover, you may utilize the seismometer installed in the area different from the several area used as the object which estimates the fluctuation width of the ground surface. In this case, the seismometer is appropriately installed in an area that can provide seismic waveform information for predicting the shaking of the surface of the plurality of areas regardless of the inside or outside of the plurality of areas for which the width of the ground motion is predicted. The Further, the seismometer is configured to observe information on the seismic motion waveform, that is, for example, time changes in magnitude such as SI value, GAL value, and seismic intensity, and output the information in real time.
Hereinafter, the seismometers provided at the 1st to Nth installation locations are referred to as seismometers (1) to (N).

  The earthquake impact prediction apparatus 10A is a CPU (not shown) as a calculation means, can temporarily store data, and a RAM (not shown) as a temporary storage means used for a working area at the time of calculation by the CPU, It has a ROM for storing various programs, a hard disk (not shown) as storage means capable of storing data, and an interface (not shown) that enables data exchange with the outside. Thus, the function of each part constituting the earthquake impact prediction apparatus 10A is realized.

Next, the system configuration of the earthquake impact prediction apparatus 10A will be described.
The seismometer information receiving unit 12 and each of the seismometers (1) to (N) are communicably connected.
Note that the communication means between the seismometer information receiving unit 12 and the seismometer (1) to the seismometer (N) uses a communication line such as a telephone line or an Internet line, It may use mobile communication such as PHS.

  Moreover, the seismometer information receiving part 12 and the epicenter information receiving part 13 are connected so that communication is possible. The ground surface motion prediction unit 18 is connected to the prediction target area storage unit 15 so that information in the prediction target area storage unit 15 can be referred to. In addition, the ground vibration prediction unit 18 and the building vibration prediction unit 20 are connected to be communicable. Moreover, the building vibration prediction unit 20 is connected to the building class storage unit 16 so that the information in the building class storage unit 16 can be referred to. Moreover, the building vibration prediction unit 20 and the earthquake impact information distribution unit 22 are connected to be communicable.

Next, the function of each part of the earthquake impact prediction apparatus 10A will be described.
The epicenter information receiving unit 13 receives, for example, information such as the epicenter of the earthquake, the depth of the epicenter, and the magnitude (magnitude) of the earthquake that are issued by an emergency earthquake bulletin or the like.

  As described above, the seismometer information receiving unit 12 receives the earthquake information observed by each of the seismometers (1) to (N), and the seismograph information receiving unit 13 receives the earthquake source and the source of the earthquake. Receive depth and earthquake magnitude information.

The seismometer information receiving unit 12 determines the distance between the epicenter and the area where the seismometer is installed, the depth of the epicenter, and the magnitude of the earthquake based on the information received from the epicenter information receiving unit 13. Compare with a preset threshold value.
For example, if the distance between the epicenter and the area, the depth of the epicenter, and the magnitude of the earthquake are smaller than the preset threshold, the threshold is set so that long-period ground motion does not occur .

  The seismometer information receiving unit 12 receives, for example, that long-period ground motion does not occur when the distance between the epicenter and the area, the depth of the epicenter, and the magnitude of the earthquake are all smaller than the threshold value. The earthquake information to be invalidated, in other words, it is assumed that the earthquake information has not been received. When the seismometer information receiving unit 12 invalidates the earthquake information, the earthquake impact prediction apparatus 10A is configured not to predict the width of the building due to the long-period ground motion described below.

  Next, the position information of the area stored in the prediction target area storage unit 15 will be described with reference to Table 1.

  Each area is defined as a range (unit area) of land that can be considered to have substantially equal ground shaking when an earthquake occurs. The areas of each area need not be equal and need not be contiguous areas.

For example, according to the type of ground in each district, districts that can be regarded as having approximately the same ground shaking when an earthquake occurs are distributed to each area.
At this time, as shown in Table 1, names such as A, B, C... Are given to a plurality of areas, and the district names (addresses) are assigned to each area A, area B, area C. The enumeration is stored in the prediction target area storage unit 15 as area position information. For example, the area A includes districts having place names such as XX ward XX town, XX ward △△ town,..., And these areas are used as position information of the area A as a prediction target area storage unit. 15 is stored.
Other areas are defined in the same format, and position information of each area is stored in the prediction target area storage unit 15.

  As a method for distinguishing the areas, in addition to the above, areas around the same river may be grouped into areas, or the areas may be determined based on the earthquake influence level announced by each local government. For earthquakes that occurred in the past, in addition to the data on the ground surface amplitude observed by the seismometers (1) to (N), devices other than the seismometers (1) to (N) If the data of the ground surface fluctuation width in each area measured by the observation device) is left, the ground surface vibration data of multiple earthquakes that occurred in the past will be approximately equal. An area may be a group of districts in which a plurality of shaking observation devices that have observed the width are installed.

The ground surface motion prediction unit 18 is a method for measuring the ground surface width of the ground surface due to long-period ground motion in each area stored in the prediction target area storage unit 15 by the seismometers (1) to (N). Predict based on the measured amplitude.
As a prediction method, the ground shaking width observed by the seismometer installed in each area or the seismometer closest to each area may be used as the ground shaking width in each area.

  For earthquakes that occurred in the past, seismometers (1) to seismometers (N) as well as ground surface fluctuation data, devices other than seismometers (1) to seismometers (N) When the observation data of the ground surface swing width of each area measured by the observation device) is left, the ground surface swing width of each area may be predicted as follows. That is, for the data observed in the earthquakes that occurred in the past, for each area, the width of the ground surface observed in the area by the vibration observation device and the ground surface observed by each of the seismometers (1) to (N) Calculate the difference from the swing width of.

  The seismometer e is observed when the combination of the area and seismometer is the area where the result of the calculation is less than a predetermined threshold and the data of the surface fluctuation width is the smallest value and the seismometer The fluctuation width of the ground surface to be used may be a predicted value of the fluctuation width of the ground surface of the area z.

  Hereinafter, the swing width from the normal time of the ground surface of an arbitrary area z at time t is referred to as a ground swing width SW (area z, t).

  Next, information on a plurality of building classes stored in the building class storage unit 16 will be described with reference to Table 2 below.

  In Table 2, the building classes A to F are defined by a plurality of height classes divided so as to be continuous in the height direction.

  Building class A is defined by a height class set as a section in the height direction of less than 100 m. The building class B is defined by a height class set as a section in the height direction of 100 m or more and less than 150 m. The building class C is defined by a height class set as a section in the height direction of 150 m or more and less than 200 m. The building class D is defined by a height class set as a section in the height direction of 200 m or more and less than 250 m. The building class E is defined by a height class set as a section in the height direction of 250 m or more and less than 300 m. The building class F is defined by a height class set as a section in the height direction of 300 m or more.

  As described above, here, each of the building classes A to F is defined only by the height class.

  The building vibration prediction unit 20 assumes that a plurality of buildings having a predetermined height corresponding to each of a plurality of height classes are installed in each of a plurality of areas. The swing width BW) is obtained based on the ground swing width SW.

  Building swing width BW (area z, building class b) from a normal building predicted for a virtual building having a height in an arbitrary height class h corresponding to an arbitrary building class b provided in an arbitrary area z , T) is obtained by the following equation (1).

  BW (area z, building class b, t) = F_building class b (SW (area z, t), BW (area z, building class b, t-1)) (1)

  Here, F_building class b is an expression which is defined for each building class (for each height class) and obtains the predicted swing width of the virtual building from the swing width SW from the normal surface of the area z.

  Formula (1) has the height of the virtual building as a parameter, and a value used as the parameter is stored in advance in the building vibration prediction unit 20. In addition, the formula for obtaining the swing width BW of the virtual building generally has an attenuation rate described below as a parameter, but here, a plurality of values set in a plurality of areas as attenuation rate values. The average decay rate values for buildings are used.

  When the building vibrates and the energy that vibrates the building disappears, the vibration energy of the building disappears and the building vibration stops due to friction between the components that make up the building, friction inside the material, and dissipation of energy to the ground. Will do. A numerical value representing the degree to which this vibration is attenuated is the attenuation rate.

  The dominant factor determining the amplitude of buildings due to long-period ground motion is the building height. For this reason, the expected BW of a plurality of predetermined buildings classified only by the height of the building can be regarded as an amplitude due to long-period ground motion of an actual building of the same scale as the assumed virtual building.

For example, the F_building class b in the equation (1) may be obtained by using the vibration solution of the mass part obtained from the vibration equation assuming that the entire virtual building is a one-mass system model having a mass at the height of the center of gravity. Good.
Further, the F_building class b in the equation (1) may use a vibration solution of the mass part obtained from the vibration equation assuming that the entire virtual building is a multi-mass system model.

The building vibration prediction unit 20 obtains the BW in which the building is predicted in time series. BW (area z, building class b, t-1) is the value of BW calculated immediately before BW (area z, building class b, t) to be obtained this time.
In the case of a one-mass system model, BW (area z, building class b, t) is a scalar, and in the case of a multi-mass system model, the vibration of the building is represented as vibration for each mass point. z, building class b, t) is a vector.

  Furthermore, for each area, the building vibration prediction unit 20 assumes a pseudo ground vibration waveform from the current time in the area to an arbitrary time in the future, for each virtual building installed in each area. The predicted virtual building swing width BW (area z, building class b, t + nΔt) at a certain time t + nΔt between the current time and a future time t + T is obtained as the estimated virtual building swing width.

  Δt is a calculation interval of BW (area z, building class b, t + nΔt), and the building vibration prediction unit 20 sequentially increases n by 1 until nΔt becomes T, and increases BW (area z, building class b, t + nΔt) is calculated as the estimated virtual building swing width.

Hereinafter, a calculation method of the estimated virtual building swing width BW (area z, building class b, t + nΔt) will be described.
2 and 3 are diagrams illustrating a method in which the building vibration prediction unit of the earthquake impact prediction apparatus obtains a predicted building sway width in the elevator system according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention.

  As shown by the broken line in FIG. 2, the building vibration prediction unit 20 assumes a pseudo ground vibration waveform in which the amplitude of SW (area z, t + nΔt) after time t is 0, and takes an arbitrary time t + T. The predicted BW (area z, building class b, t + nΔt) may be calculated as the estimated virtual building swing width. In addition, as shown by the broken line in FIG. 3, the building vibration prediction unit 20 continues the periodic fluctuation of the ground surface having the same waveform as that of one cycle of SW calculated immediately before the current time t until time t + T. Assuming a pseudo ground surface swing waveform that continues for a period of time, a predicted BW (area z, building class b, t + nΔt) up to an arbitrary time t + T may be calculated as the estimated virtual building swing width.

  In any case, the building vibration prediction unit 20 calculates an estimated virtual building swing width by artificially setting an earthquake motion waveform in the area for each area from the current time t to an arbitrary future time t + T.

Here, in order to predict the effects on buildings due to long-period ground motion, there is no problem if all buildings having a common height class among buildings installed in a common area are handled together. In other words, it is not necessary to predict the swing width of all buildings in order to predict the effects of long-period ground motion on buildings.
The result of the swing width (virtual building swing width and estimated virtual building swing width) obtained for the virtual building is provided in the area where the virtual building is assumed to be installed, and enters the height class corresponding to the virtual building. It can be regarded as the swing width of all buildings having a height.

Next, earthquake impact prediction information distributed by the earthquake impact information distribution unit 22 will be described.
FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating earthquake impact prediction information distributed from the earthquake impact information distribution unit of the earthquake impact prediction device in the elevator system according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention.

  In the earthquake influence information distribution unit 22, the swing width (virtual building swing width and estimated virtual building swing width) of each virtual building calculated by the building vibration prediction unit 20 includes the position information and the height of the area corresponding to each virtual building. It is input with the class.

Then, as shown in FIG. 4, the earthquake impact information distribution unit 22 calculates the virtual building swing width that is composed of the maximum value of the virtual building swing width and the estimated virtual building swing width obtained immediately after the occurrence of the earthquake until the present time. The information, the height class corresponding to each virtual building assumed to obtain these fluctuation widths, and the positional information of the area where each virtual building is installed are associated with each other and distributed as earthquake impact prediction information.
The height class corresponding to the virtual building is a height class including the height of the virtual building.

For convenience of explanation, in FIG. 4, (the maximum value of the virtual building swing width and the maximum value of the estimated virtual building swing width) are described as (to date and in the future).
Moreover, although not shown in figure, the earthquake influence information delivery part 22 is also delivered as earthquake impact prediction information also the fluctuation width of the virtual building currently predicted.

Next, the elevator apparatus 50A will be described.
In FIG. 1, the elevator apparatus 50 </ b> A includes a control command receiving unit 59, an elevator apparatus main body 51, and an elevator control unit 58 that controls the operation of the elevator apparatus main body 51.
Although the elevator apparatus 50A is provided in each of a plurality of predetermined buildings provided in a plurality of areas, only one elevator apparatus 50A is illustrated in FIG.

  The elevator apparatus main body 51 includes a hoistway 60, a machine room 61 provided on the upper part of the hoistway 60, a hoisting machine 52 having a drive sheave 52a rotatably provided in the machine room 61, and a drive sheave 52a. An elevator rope 53 with one end and the other end hanging down in the hoistway 60, a car 55 connected to one end of the elevator rope 53 so that the hoistway 60 can be raised and lowered, and an elevator rope A counterweight 56 connected to the other end of 53, and a notification means (not shown) installed in a car 55 and a landing (not shown) on each floor are provided.

  Here, a plurality of hoistways 60 may be provided in the same building. In this case, the elevator device 50A having a car 55 that moves up and down different hoistways 60 is a separate elevator device 50A, and the elevator device 50A having at least one car 55 that moves up and down the common hoistway 60 is a bank.

The notification means is, for example, a speaker or a display.
Further, the elevator control unit 58 and the control command receiving unit 59 are configured by a CPU, a RAM, a ROM, an interface, and the like.

Next, the system configuration of the elevator apparatus 50A will be described.
The control command receiving unit 59 and the elevator control unit 58 are connected to be communicable. The elevator control unit 58 is connected to the hoisting machine 52 and controls the up-and-down movement of the car 55 by controlling the rotation of the driving sheave 52a, as well as a car door (not shown) and a landing door (not shown). ) Can be controlled. In addition, the elevator control unit 58 is communicably connected to the notification unit, and can make the notification unit perform desired notification.

  When the control command receiving unit 59 receives a control command from the elevator control command device 30 described below, the elevator control unit 58 gives priority to the operation of the elevator apparatus main body 51 based on the control command. The operation of the elevator apparatus main body 51 includes raising and lowering of the car 55, notification by a notification means, opening and closing of a car door and a landing door, and the like.

Next, an overview of the elevator control command device 30 will be described.
The elevator control command device 30 also stores a prediction information receiving unit 31 that receives the earthquake impact prediction information distributed by the earthquake impact prediction device 10A, and building information that will be described later for each building installed in the plurality of areas. Based on the building information storage unit 32, the earthquake impact prediction information, and the building information, a control command generating unit 33 that generates a control command for controlling the operation of the elevator apparatus 50A provided in each building, and a control command are generated. The threshold storage unit 34 stores each threshold value used for the determination for the control, and the control command transmission unit 35 transmits the control command to the elevator apparatus 50A to be controlled.

The elevator control command device 30 is constituted by a CPU, a RAM, a ROM, a communication interface, and the like, and the functions of each part constituting the elevator control command device 30 are realized by these.
Further, controlling the operation of the elevator apparatus 50A means raising / lowering control of the car 55, opening / closing control of the car door and the landing door, and the like.

Next, the system configuration of the elevator control command device 30 will be described.
In FIG. 1, the prediction information receiving unit 31 is communicably connected to the earthquake impact information distributing unit 22, and the control command generating unit 33 can refer to the information in the building information storage unit 32 and the threshold storage unit 34, and the building information The storage unit 32 and the threshold storage unit 34 are connected.
Further, the control command generation unit 33 and the control command transmission unit 35 are connected to be communicable.

  Next, building information will be described with reference to Table 3.

  As shown in Table 3, the building information includes, for each building, the building name (building information), the area name as location information of the area where the building is installed, and the building class (height class) of the building. Information associated with each other.

  Then, the control command generation unit 33 compares the area and height class corresponding to each building stored in the building information storage unit 32 with the area and height class corresponding to each virtual building in the earthquake impact prediction information. Thus, information on the swing width of the virtual building corresponding to each building is selected from the earthquake impact prediction information. Further, the control command generation unit 33 compares the selected swing width information with the threshold value in the threshold storage unit 34, and generates a control command for controlling the operation of the elevator apparatus 50A installed in each building. .

  More specifically, the control command generation unit 33 first reads building information for each building from the building information storage unit 32, and from the earthquake impact prediction information, the same area and height as the area and height class in the read building information. Select information on the swing width of the virtual building associated with the class. Furthermore, the control command generation unit 33 uses the information on the selected virtual building as information on the swing width of the building in the read building information.

Furthermore, when the control command generation unit 33 constantly reads information on the swing width of the corresponding virtual building for each building and determines that the maximum value of the virtual building swing width up to the present time exceeds a preset first threshold value. Then, a control operation command for controlling the elevator device 50A provided in the building to be controlled is generated. In addition, after generating the control operation command, the control command generating unit 33 repeatedly obtains the amplitude of the virtual building from the virtual building swing width for the latest one cycle, and the amplitude is less than or equal to a preset second threshold value. If it judges that it became, control operation cancellation | release will be cancelled | released and the control operation cancellation | release instruction | command which restarts normal driving | operation of the elevator apparatus 50A will be produced | generated as a control command.
The amplitude of the virtual building obtained from the virtual building swing width for the most recent cycle may be the amplitude obtained for the virtual building swing width for the referenced one cycle, or the virtual building swing width for the referenced one cycle. It may be the amplitude of a virtual building shake for one cycle from the present time predicted based on the swing width.

  The first and second threshold values may be obtained from the cross-sectional size perpendicular to the height direction of the hoistway 60 and the distance from the hoistway wall of the elevator rope 53 and the equipment installed in the hoistway 60. For example, the first and second threshold values are slightly smaller than the approximate swing width of the building where the elevator rope 53 is expected to be caught on the wall portion of the hoistway 60 or equipment installed in the hoistway 60. Is set.

  In addition, in the information on the swing width of the virtual building predicted when an earthquake occurred in the past and the record of the damage status of the elevator apparatus 50A due to the earthquake, the swing width of the virtual building did not exceed the first threshold. Nevertheless, if the elevator device 50A provided in the building belonging to the predetermined height class is damaged or if the elevator rope 53 is defective, the first threshold is set as follows. May be. That is, when determining whether or not to generate a control operation command for a virtual building with a height corresponding to a predetermined height class, the first threshold is set smaller than when determining for another height class. May be.

  In addition, although the swing width of the virtual building is smaller than the second threshold value and the operation of the elevator device 50A is resumed, the operation after the resumption of the elevator device 50A of the building corresponding to the predetermined height class is performed. When it is determined that damage has occurred, it is necessary to determine whether to generate a control operation command for a virtual building with a height corresponding to the predetermined height class. You may set a 2nd threshold value small compared with the case where it judges about a thing.

In addition, after generating the control operation command, the control command generation unit 33 repeatedly obtains the amplitude of the virtual building from the virtual building swing width for the latest one cycle, and the amplitude becomes equal to or less than a preset third threshold value. If it is determined that the control operation has been performed, the control operation of the elevator apparatus 50A may be canceled, and a diagnostic operation command for causing the elevator apparatus 50A to perform a diagnostic operation may be generated as a control command. Alternatively, the control command generation unit 33 sets the amplitude of the virtual building to be obtained after generating the control operation command with the swing width of the virtual building exceeding the first threshold without exceeding the preset first restoration stop threshold. When the value becomes equal to or less than the third threshold value, the control operation of the elevator apparatus 50A may be canceled to generate a diagnostic operation command that causes the elevator apparatus 50A to execute the diagnostic operation.
Similarly, the control command generation unit 33 preliminarily maintains the amplitude of the virtual building obtained after generating the control operation command with the swing width of the virtual building exceeding the first threshold value without exceeding the preset first restoration stop threshold value. When it becomes less than or equal to the set second threshold value, the control operation of the elevator apparatus 50A may be canceled, and a control operation release command for resuming the normal operation of the elevator apparatus 50A may be generated.

Similar to the first and second threshold values, the third threshold value and the first restoration stop threshold value may be obtained from the cross-sectional size perpendicular to the height direction of the hoistway 60 and the position of the elevator rope 53.
Since the diagnosis operation is general, it will not be described in detail, but it is an operation to check whether there is any abnormal sound when the elevator rope 53 is caught on the wall of the hoistway 60 or when the car 55 is raised or lowered. is there.

  And the control command transmission part 35 produces | generates and transmits a control command to the elevator apparatus 50A used as a control object, and the control of the driving | operation based on a control command is performed in the elevator apparatus 50A.

  In the elevator system 1A configured as described above, when an earthquake occurs, the earthquake impact prediction information is distributed from the earthquake impact prediction device 10A, and the elevator control command device 30 is based on the earthquake impact prediction information as necessary. The control command is generated and transmitted to the elevator apparatus 50A. As described above, in the elevator apparatus 50A, when the elevator control unit 58 determines that the control command is received by the control command receiving unit 59, the operation of the elevator apparatus main body 51 based on the control command is preferentially controlled.

For example, when the elevator control unit 58 determines that the control operation command has been received, the elevator control unit 58 switches the operation of the elevator apparatus main body 51 to the control operation that stops the car 55 on the nearest floor and opens the car door and the landing door.
Moreover, the elevator control part 58 is comprised so that the alerting | reporting means may be performed according to the received control command. When the elevator control unit 58 determines that the control operation command has been received, the content such as “the operation of the elevator device has been suspended because there is a risk of damage due to long-period ground motion” from the speaker. This is notified by voice or visually displayed on a display.

  The elevator control command device 30 according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention includes the area and height class of each building stored in the building information storage unit 32, and the areas and height classes of a plurality of virtual buildings in the earthquake impact prediction information. And selecting information on the swing width of the virtual building corresponding to each building from the earthquake impact prediction information, and based on the selected swing width information, the elevator apparatus 50A installed in each building A control command for controlling the operation is generated, and the control command is transmitted to the controlled elevator device 50A.

  This is done in view of the fact that all buildings with a common height class among multiple buildings installed in a common area can be handled together to predict the effects of long-period ground motion. By configuring the elevator control command device 30 in this way, the earthquake impact prediction device 10A that is the distribution source of the earthquake impact prediction information is configured as follows to distribute the earthquake impact prediction information. Can be configured.

  The earthquake impact prediction apparatus 10A includes a prediction target area storage unit 15 that stores position information of each of a plurality of areas, and a building class storage unit 16 that stores a plurality of height classes divided so as to be continuous in the height direction. It is set as the structure provided with. Furthermore, the earthquake impact prediction apparatus 10A includes a ground surface motion prediction unit 18 that predicts the ground motion amplitude due to long-period ground motion in each area based on earthquake information from the seismometer, and a plurality of heights within a height class. Assuming a virtual building for each height class, the building vibration prediction unit 20 that obtains information on the swing width of each of a plurality of virtual buildings installed in each area based on the swing width of the ground surface, and the swing width of the virtual building And the earthquake impact information distribution unit 22 that distributes the height class corresponding to the virtual building as the earthquake impact prediction information associated with the position information for each area.

  The earthquake impact prediction apparatus 10 </ b> A is provided in each area, and has a configuration for obtaining each swing width of a plurality of virtual buildings having heights in each height class. Here, if the buildings that fall within a common height class among multiple buildings built in a common area where the ground motion is considered to be approximately the same, when vibrations due to long-period ground motion waves are compared between buildings However, it is not so different. Therefore, the swing width obtained for each virtual building installed in each area is an approximation of the swing width of all the buildings that are actually built in each area and have a height within the height class of each virtual building. It can be considered.

  As described above, the earthquake impact prediction apparatus 10A avoids predicting the swing width of the building due to the long-period ground motion for every building for every building, and does not perform calculations more than necessary, and shakes the building due to the long-period ground motion. Anything that predicts the width can be used. In the earthquake impact prediction apparatus 10A, the amount of calculation required to predict the swing width of the building is remarkably reduced, so that the swing width of the building can be predicted in a short time and included in the earthquake impact prediction information in substantially real time.

  From the above, in the elevator system 1A, the elevator control command device 30 can generate a control command for the elevator device 50A according to the predicted current swing width of the building, and the current building swing Control of the elevator apparatus 50A suitable for the width can be performed.

Further, when the control command generation unit 33 determines that the swing width of the virtual building included in the earthquake impact prediction information is greater than the first threshold, the control command generation unit 33 generates a control operation command, and the virtual swing with the swing width exceeding the first threshold is generated. The control operation command is distributed to the elevator apparatus 50A provided in the building corresponding to the building.
Since the swing width of each virtual building can be regarded as the current swing width of the building corresponding to each virtual building, the elevator apparatus 50A automatically switches to control operation at the same time as the building vibrates with the swing width to be switched to control operation. be able to.

In addition, the control command generation unit 33 always refers to the earthquake impact prediction information after generating the control operation command, repeatedly calculates the amplitude of the virtual building from the vibration width of the virtual building for the latest one cycle, and calculates the calculated amplitude of the virtual building. However, when it is determined that the value has become equal to or smaller than the preset second threshold value, the control operation is canceled, and the normal operation of the elevator apparatus 50A provided in the building corresponding to the virtual building having the amplitude equal to or smaller than the second threshold value is performed. Generate a control operation release command to resume.
As a result, the vibration of the building provided with the controlled elevator device 50A is stopped, and at the same time, the control operation of the elevator device 50A can be automatically canceled to resume the normal operation.

Alternatively, the control command generation unit 33 refers to the earthquake impact prediction information after generating the control operation command, and repeatedly obtains the amplitude of the virtual building from the fluctuation width of the virtual building for the most recent cycle, and the obtained amplitude is set in advance. If it is determined that the value is equal to or lower than the third threshold value, the control operation of the elevator apparatus 50A may be canceled to generate a diagnostic operation command for performing a diagnostic operation.
Thus, it is possible to automatically check whether there is no abnormality in the elevator apparatus 50A at an appropriate time before resuming normal operation.

In addition, the control command generation unit 33 sets the amplitude of the virtual building obtained after generating the control operation command so that the swing width of the virtual building exceeds the first threshold value to the third threshold value or less without exceeding the first restoration stop threshold value. The diagnostic operation command may be generated only when it becomes. That is, the diagnosis operation of the elevator apparatus 50A can be performed only when a large earthquake that causes the building to vibrate with an amplitude exceeding the first restoration stop threshold has not occurred.
In addition, the control command generation unit 33 preliminarily maintains the amplitude of the virtual building obtained after generating the control operation command with the swing width of the virtual building exceeding the first threshold value without exceeding the preset first restoration stop threshold value. Only when the set second threshold value or less is reached, the control operation cancellation command for canceling the control operation of the elevator apparatus 50A and restarting the normal operation may be generated in the elevator apparatus 50A. That is, the normal operation of the elevator apparatus 50A can be resumed only when a large earthquake that causes the building to vibrate with an amplitude exceeding the first restoration stop threshold has not occurred.

  Further, in the elevator apparatus 50A, as described above, the elevator control command apparatus 30 is connected to the speaker according to the control command generated from the comparison results of the first to third threshold values, the first restoration stop threshold value, and the swing width of the virtual building. Informing means such as a display or a display informs that the operation mode of the elevator apparatus 50A is switched from a normal one to an operation such as a control operation due to the prediction of occurrence of long-period ground motion. Therefore, when the elevator apparatus 50 </ b> A switches from the normal operation mode to a different operation mode according to the control command, it can be avoided that the passenger feels frustrated.

  In addition, each area has been described as an enumeration of areas that can be considered to have almost equal ground shaking when an earthquake occurs, but there are divided areas that can be considered to have almost equal ground shaking when an earthquake occurs. In addition, the position information of each area may be stored in the prediction target area storage unit 15.

The details of the area position information will be described below with reference to Table 4 and the drawings below.
Table 4 is a table for explaining areas represented by listing divided areas defined by latitude and longitude.

  FIG. 5 is a diagram for explaining area information represented by listing divided areas defined by latitude and longitude.

  In Table 4 and FIG. 5, for example, the shape of each divided area is set to a rectangle or a square, and each divided area is defined by the longitude and latitude at two vertices located on one diagonal line of each divided area.

  Here, the area A is divided into square areas having vertices on diagonal lines (35.68 degrees north latitude, 139.76 degrees east longitude) and (35.67 degrees north latitude, 139.77 degrees east longitude). An area A1 and a divided area A2 defined by a rectangular area having diagonal vertices at (35.70 degrees north latitude, 139.73 degrees east longitude) and (35.68 degrees north latitude, 139.77 degrees east longitude) Is included. At this time, in the divided area A1 and the divided area A2, the shaking of the ground surface when an earthquake occurs is substantially equal.

Area B is a divided area defined by square areas having vertices on diagonal lines (35.68 degrees north latitude, 139.73 degrees east longitude) and (35.67 degrees north latitude, 139.76 degrees east longitude). B1 is included.
The position information of the areas A and B defined as described above may be stored in the prediction target area storage unit 15.

  Similarly, the areas B, C,... Are defined by enumerating divided areas defined by latitude and longitude, and the position information of each area is stored in the prediction target area storage unit 15.

  In the first embodiment, the building class is described as being defined only by the height class. However, the building class is defined by the height class and the attenuation rate as described below, and the building class is stored. The earthquake impact prediction apparatus according to the first embodiment stored in the unit 16 may be configured.

Hereinafter, the earthquake impact prediction apparatus of the first embodiment will be described.
First embodiment.
The system configuration of the earthquake impact prediction apparatus according to the first embodiment is the same as the system configuration of the earthquake impact prediction apparatus 10A.

  Next, building class information stored in the building class storage unit 16 will be described with reference to Table 5.

  As shown in Table 5, a building class is defined by a height class and an attenuation rate class defined by at least one for each height class.

  Building classes A-1 to A-4, Building classes B-1 to B-4, Building classes C-1 to C-4, Building classes D1 to D4, Building classes E1 to E4, and Building classes F-1 to F4 The height class that defines each of the above has the same section in the height direction as the height class that defines each of the building classes A to F described above.

And each of the building classes A-1 to A-4 is less than 0.25, 0.25 or more and less than 0.35, 0.35 or more and less than 0.45 in the range of attenuation rate for each height class. And attenuation rate classes of 0.45 or more are defined in association with each other.
For example, the building class A-1 is defined as classifying a building having a height section of less than 100 m and an attenuation factor of less than 0.25. In addition, each of the building classes A-2 to A-4 has a height section of less than 100 m and an attenuation factor of 0.25 to 0.35, 0.35 to 0.45, 0.45 or more. Is defined as classifying each building in the range.

  Similarly, the building classes B-1 to F-4 are defined by the height class and the attenuation rate class.

  The building vibration prediction unit 20 has a plurality of predetermined buildings (virtual buildings) each having a height within the height class and having an attenuation rate with a value within the attenuation rate class for each of the building classes A-1 to F-4. It is assumed that the swing width (virtual building swing width BW) of each of the plurality of virtual buildings installed in each area is obtained based on the ground swing width SW.

The predicted swing width of a virtual building having an arbitrary height class h and an attenuation rate class c corresponding to an arbitrary building class b provided in an arbitrary area z is expressed by the above-described equation (1). ).
In this case, equation (1) has the assumed virtual building height and attenuation rate as parameters, but the attenuation rate is set for each building class.

  Furthermore, the building vibration prediction unit 20 assumes, for each area, a pseudo ground vibration waveform from the current time in the area to any future time, and the current of each virtual building installed in each area. A swing width BW (area z, building class b, t + nΔt) at a certain time t + nΔt from time to any future time t + T is obtained as an estimated virtual building swing width.

  The calculation method of BW (area z, building class b, t + nΔt) is the same as in the case of the earthquake impact prediction apparatus 10A.

Next, earthquake impact prediction information distributed from the earthquake impact information distribution unit 22 will be described.
FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating the earthquake impact prediction information distributed from the earthquake impact information distribution unit of the earthquake impact prediction device in the elevator system according to the first embodiment 1 of the present invention.

As illustrated in FIG. 6, the earthquake impact information distribution unit 22 associates, for each area, the maximum value of the virtual building swing width, the maximum value of the estimated virtual building swing width, and the building class corresponding to the virtual building. Distributes earthquake impact prediction information.
The building class corresponding to the virtual building refers to a building class defined by a building class including a height and an attenuation rate of the virtual building and an attenuation rate class.
In FIG. 6, (the maximum value of the virtual building swing width and the maximum value of the estimated virtual building swing width) are described as (until the present and the future) for convenience of explanation.

  Other operations of the earthquake impact prediction apparatus according to the first embodiment are the same as those of the earthquake impact prediction apparatus 10A.

According to the earthquake impact prediction apparatus according to the first embodiment, the building class is defined by the height class and the attenuation rate class.
In formula (1) for obtaining the swing width BW of the building, BW is calculated in consideration of a plurality of virtual buildings having attenuation rates in different attenuation rate classes even at heights in the same height class. The error when comparing the swing width of an actual building of the same scale with BW is reduced. Accordingly, the building manager can more accurately grasp how much the building is shaken.

Embodiment 2. FIG.
FIG. 7 is a configuration diagram of an elevator system according to Embodiment 2 of the present invention.
In addition, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected about the same or equivalent part as the said Embodiment 1, and the description is abbreviate | omitted.

  In FIG. 7, the elevator system 1B is configured in the same manner as the elevator system 1A, except that it has an earthquake impact prediction device 10B instead of the earthquake impact prediction device 10A.

The earthquake impact prediction apparatus 10 </ b> B has a rope vibration prediction unit 25.
The rope vibration prediction unit 25 is incorporated between the building vibration prediction unit 20 and the earthquake influence information distribution unit 22. The configuration of the other earthquake impact prediction apparatus 10B is the same as that of the earthquake impact prediction apparatus 10A.

  The rope vibration prediction unit 25 receives information on the swing width of each virtual building obtained by the building vibration prediction unit 20.

Here, depending on the length of the part of the elevator rope 53 suspended from the upper part of the hoistway 60, the elevator rope 53 may resonate with the vibration of the building and vibrate with an amplitude greater than the amplitude of the building.
For example, when the lifting / lowering stroke of the elevator device 50A is the same as the height of the building, the elevator rope 53 is abbreviated as the lifting / lowering stroke of the elevator device 50A by stopping the car at the landing on the lowermost (first floor). When the length is the same, the elevator rope 53 is likely to resonate with the vibration of the building.

  Therefore, the rope vibration prediction unit 25 obtains the swing width of the elevator rope of the virtual elevator device provided in each of the plurality of virtual buildings installed in each area based on the building swing width BW. At this time, it is assumed that the ascending / descending stroke of the virtual elevator apparatus has the same scale as the height of the virtual building assumed as the installation destination of the corresponding elevator.

  The rope vibration prediction unit 25 is provided in a virtual building having a height within an arbitrary height class h corresponding to an arbitrary building class b among a plurality of virtual buildings installed in an arbitrary area z. Assuming that the virtual rope swing width RW (area z, building class b, t) is the expected swing width of the elevator rope of the virtual elevator apparatus having the same scale as the height in class h, the following formula Calculate from (2). Note that the virtual rope swing width RW is obtained for the elevator rope of the virtual elevator apparatus that is assumed to be suspended to substantially the same length as the lifting stroke.

  RW (area z, building class b, t) = G_building class b (BW (area z, building class b, t), RW (area z, building class b, t-1)) (2)

G_building class b is an expression for obtaining a virtual rope swing width RW based on BW, and a virtual elevator apparatus having a hoistway with a hoisting path of the same scale as the height of the virtual building is provided in the virtual building. , Defined for each building class (for each height class).
In addition, the attenuation rate of the elevator rope of the virtual elevator apparatus is set to an average value of the elevator rope of each elevator apparatus 50A. In addition, the elevator rope is assumed to be the main rope that suspends the car. However, when the swing width is predicted for each of the compen- sion rope and the control cable as the elevator rope, the length and attenuation rate of each of them are estimated. It is also possible to prepare a plurality of equations that set and to predict each swing width.

  When the function of F_building class b in Equation (1) is a solution of the vibration of the mass part obtained from the vibration equation assuming that the virtual building is a one-mass system, the elevator rope of the virtual elevator apparatus is moved up and down Assuming a one-mass system model with a mass point at the height of the center of gravity of the elevator rope suspended over, the solution of the vibration of the mass part obtained from the vibration equation may be set as the function G_hoistway class s .

  If the function of F_building class b in equation (1) is the solution of the vibration of the mass part obtained from the vibration equation assuming that the building is a multi-mass system, the elevator rope of the virtual elevator apparatus is Assuming a system model, the solution of the vibration of the mass point portion obtained from the vibration equation may be set as the function G_hoistway class s.

  In the case of a one-mass system model, RW is a scalar, and in the case of a multi-mass system model, RW is represented by a solution of vibration at each mass point, so RW is a vector.

  Further, the rope vibration prediction unit 25 uses the vibration width from the current time of the elevator rope of each virtual elevator device to an arbitrary time in the future as the estimated rope vibration width RW (area z, building class b, t + nΔt). Obtained based on the estimated virtual building swing width BW (area z, building class b, t + nΔt) obtained by the prediction unit 20.

  Here, as described above, there is no problem even if all buildings having a common height class among buildings installed in a common area are handled together to predict the effect of long-period ground motion. In addition, the building is often provided with an elevator having a lifting / lowering scale within a height class corresponding to the height of the building. In the elevator apparatus 50A provided in all buildings installed in a common area, all the elevator apparatuses 50A having a lifting stroke within a common height class predict vibration of the elevator rope 53 due to long-period ground motion. However, it can be handled collectively. That is, in order to predict the influence of the long-period ground motion on the elevator rope 53, it is not necessary to predict the swing width for each elevator rope 53 of all the elevator apparatuses 50A.

The swing width of the elevator rope of the virtual elevator apparatus obtained as described above can be regarded as the swing width of the elevator ropes 53 of all the elevator apparatuses 50A under the same conditions as the virtual elevator apparatus.
The virtual elevator apparatus and the elevator apparatus 50A have the same conditions in that the installation area, the virtual building in which the virtual elevator apparatus and the elevator apparatus 50A are installed, and the height class that enters the height of the building are common to each other. And the raising / lowering process of 50 A of elevator apparatuses means the height in the height class into which the height of a virtual building and a building enters.

The earthquake impact information distribution unit 22 distributes the obtained information on the swing width of the elevator rope of the virtual elevator apparatus as earthquake impact prediction information described below.
FIG. 8 is a diagram illustrating the earthquake impact prediction information distributed from the earthquake impact information distribution unit of the earthquake impact prediction device in the elevator system according to Embodiment 2 of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 8, the earthquake impact information distribution unit 22 includes information on the swing width of the elevator rope of each virtual elevator apparatus, the height class corresponding to the virtual building in which each virtual elevator apparatus is provided, and each virtual Information that associates position information of the area where the building is installed with each other is distributed as earthquake impact prediction information.
In FIG. 8, for convenience of explanation, (the maximum value of the virtual rope swing width up to the present time, the maximum value of the estimated virtual rope swing width up to an arbitrary time t + T in the future) is described as (to date, in the future). Yes.

Next, the operation of the elevator control command device 30 will be described.
Each of the building information storage units 32 includes an elevator device 50A and is installed in a plurality of areas and stores building information for each building. The building information stored in the building information storage unit 32 is the same as the building information stored in the building information storage unit 32 of the first embodiment.

  The control command generation unit 33 compares the area and height class of each building stored in the building information storage unit 32 with the area and height class of each virtual building in the earthquake impact prediction information, thereby predicting the earthquake impact. From the information, information on each virtual rope swing width is selected. Further, the control command generation unit 33 generates a control command for controlling the elevator apparatus 50A installed in each building according to the selected virtual rope swing width information.

  More specifically, the control command generation unit 33 first reads building information for each building from the building information storage unit 32, and from the earthquake impact prediction information, the same area and height as the area and height class in the read building information. The information on the elevator rope of the virtual elevator apparatus provided in the virtual building associated with the class is selected. Furthermore, the control command generation unit 33 uses the information on the selected elevator rope as information on the swing width of the elevator rope 53 of the elevator apparatus 50A provided in the building in the read building information.

Furthermore, in the information on the swing width of the elevator rope selected from the earthquake impact prediction information, the control command generation unit 33 has the maximum value of the swing width of the elevator rope (virtual rope swing width) of the virtual elevator apparatus up to the present time. If it is determined that the preset fourth threshold value is exceeded, a control operation command is generated as a control command. In addition, the control command generation unit, after generating the control operation command, refers to the earthquake impact prediction information, repeatedly obtains the amplitude of the elevator rope of the virtual elevator device from the virtual rope swing width for the latest one cycle, and determines the obtained elevator When it is determined that the amplitude of the rope has become equal to or smaller than a preset fifth threshold value, the control operation is canceled and a control operation release command for resuming normal operation of the elevator apparatus 50A is generated as a control command.
Alternatively, the control command generation unit 33 determines that the amplitude of the elevator rope of the virtual elevator device obtained after the virtual rope swing width exceeds the fourth threshold and generates the control operation command exceeds the preset second restoration stop threshold. The control operation cancellation command for canceling the control operation and resuming the normal operation of the elevator apparatus 50A may be generated as a control command only when the value is equal to or lower than a preset fifth threshold value without being present.

  The fourth and fifth threshold values may be obtained from the cross-sectional size perpendicular to the height direction of the hoistway 60 and the position of the elevator rope 53. For example, the fourth and fifth threshold values are set to be slightly smaller than the approximate amplitude of the elevator rope 53 that may cause the elevator rope 53 to be caught on the wall of the hoistway 60.

  Further, after generating the control operation command, the control command generating unit 33 repeatedly obtains the amplitude of the elevator rope of the virtual elevator device from the virtual elevator rope swing width for the latest one cycle, and the obtained elevator rope amplitude is set in advance. If it is determined that it has become the sixth threshold value or less, the control operation may be canceled and a diagnostic operation command for performing a diagnostic operation of the elevator apparatus 50A may be generated as a control command. Alternatively, the control command generation unit 33 determines that the amplitude of the elevator rope of the virtual elevator device obtained after the virtual rope swing width exceeds the fourth threshold and generates the control operation command exceeds the preset second restoration stop threshold. When it becomes less than or equal to a preset sixth threshold without being generated, the control operation of the elevator apparatus 50A may be canceled to generate a diagnostic operation command that causes the elevator apparatus 50A to execute the diagnostic operation.

The sixth threshold value and the second restoration stop threshold value may be obtained from the cross-sectional size perpendicular to the height direction of the hoistway 60 and the position of the elevator rope 53, similarly to the fourth and fifth threshold values.
Although the diagnosis operation is general and will not be described in detail, it is an operation for checking whether the elevator rope 53 is caught on the hoistway device or hoistway or whether there is any abnormal sound.

And the control command transmission part 35 transmits a control command to 50 A of elevator apparatuses used as a control object, and control of the driving | operation based on a control command is performed in 50 A of elevator apparatuses.
Moreover, the elevator control part 58 is comprised so that the alerting | reporting means may be performed according to the received control command. When the elevator control unit 58 determines that the control operation command has been received, the content such as “the operation of the elevator device has been suspended because there is a risk of damage due to long-period ground motion” from the speaker. This is notified by voice or visually displayed on a display.

  According to the second embodiment, the elevator control command device 30 is stored in the building information storage unit 32, and the ascending / descending stroke is an area associated with each building having the elevator device 50A having the same scale as the height class of the building. By comparing the height class with the area and height class associated with the virtual building in the earthquake impact prediction information, it corresponds to the elevator apparatus 50A provided in each building from the earthquake impact prediction information. A configuration for selecting information on the swing width of the elevator rope of the virtual elevator device, and generating a control command for controlling the elevator device 50A installed in the corresponding building according to the information on the swing width of the selected elevator rope. Has been.

  This means that elevators installed in all buildings with a common height class among multiple buildings installed in each common area can be handled together to predict the effects of long-period ground motion. It was made in view of the above. By configuring the elevator control command device 30 as described above, the earthquake impact prediction device 10B that is the distribution source of the earthquake impact prediction information can be configured as follows.

That is, the earthquake impact prediction apparatus 10B may be configured to distribute earthquake impact prediction information as follows.
The earthquake impact prediction apparatus 10B includes a prediction target area storage unit 15 that stores position information of each of a plurality of areas, and a building class storage unit 16 that stores a plurality of height classes divided so as to be continuous in the height direction. It is set as the structure provided with. Furthermore, the earthquake impact prediction apparatus 10B includes a ground surface motion prediction unit 18 that predicts the ground surface motion width due to long-period ground motion in each area as the ground surface motion width based on the seismometer earthquake information, and the height within the height class. And a building vibration prediction unit 20 that obtains information on the swing width of each of the virtual buildings installed in each area based on the ground swing width. And Furthermore, the earthquake impact prediction apparatus 10B is assumed in each of a plurality of virtual elevator apparatuses that are provided in each of a plurality of virtual buildings installed in each area and have a lifting process of the same scale as each of the heights of the plurality of virtual buildings. Corresponding to the virtual building, the rope vibration prediction unit that calculates the elevator rope swing width information of each virtual elevator device based on the virtual building swing width information, the elevator rope swing information of the virtual elevator device, and the virtual building What is necessary is just to set it as the structure provided with the earthquake impact information delivery part 22 which links | relates the height class to perform with the information for every area, and delivers earthquake impact prediction information.

That is, the earthquake impact prediction apparatus 10B is installed in a common area, and all buildings having a height within a common height class are assumed to be virtual buildings, and the elevator rope swing width of the virtual elevator apparatus provided in the virtual buildings It is the structure which asks for.
The obtained swing width of each virtual elevator device is provided in a building associated with the same area and height class as the area and height class corresponding to the virtual building, It can be regarded as the swing width of the elevator rope 53 of all the elevator apparatuses 50A.

  For this reason, the earthquake impact prediction apparatus 10B avoids predicting the swing width of the elevator rope 53 caused by long-period ground motion for each elevator apparatus 50A for all the elevator apparatuses 50A, and without calculating more than necessary. A device that predicts the swing width of the elevator rope 53 due to periodic ground motion can be used. That is, in the earthquake impact prediction apparatus 10B, the amount of computation required to predict the swing width of the elevator rope 53 is significantly reduced, and the swing width of the elevator rope 53 is predicted in a short time and included in the earthquake impact prediction information in substantially real time. Can be delivered.

  From the above, in the elevator system 1B, the elevator control command device 30 can generate a control command for the elevator device 50A suitable for the swing width of the elevator rope 53 predicted in real time. The elevator apparatus 50A suitable for the swing width of the rope 53 can be controlled.

Further, as described above, the amplitude of the elevator rope 53 may increase with respect to the swing width of the building due to resonance with the vibration of the building even when the swing width of the building is small.
In other words, the effect of the long-period ground motion of the elevator rope 53 may not be predicted with only the information on the swing width of the virtual building. For example, when the elevator rope 53 vibrates greatly due to resonance, the elevator rope 53 cannot be expected to be caught on a hoistway wall or the like.
In this earthquake impact prediction device 10B, since the elevator rope 53 of the virtual elevator device is predicted by looking at the actual elevator rope 53, the elevator control command device 30 affects the effect of long-period ground motion on the elevator rope 53. It is possible to predict more accurately and generate a control command for the elevator apparatus 50A suitable for the current situation.

  In addition, for example, the elevator administrator can know the predicted value of the amplitude of the elevator rope substantially in real time based on the information delivered from the earthquake impact information delivery unit 22, so that the actual elevator rope swing width can be obtained. Accordingly, the elevator can be configured such that the elevator car can be switched to control operation.

  Further, by predicting the future swing width of the actual elevator rope 53, for example, in order to switch the operation of the elevator apparatus 50A to the control operation, the passenger in the car 55 is notified from the notification means in advance that the operation is switched to the control operation. It is possible to reduce the feeling of frustration of the passenger accompanying the stop of the elevator apparatus 50A.

  In addition, when the control command generation unit 33 determines that the swing width of the elevator rope of the virtual elevator apparatus included in the earthquake impact prediction information is greater than the fourth threshold value, the control command generation unit 33 generates a control operation command and exceeds the fourth threshold value. The control operation command is distributed to the elevator apparatus 50A having the elevator rope 53 having the same condition as the elevator rope of the amplitude virtual elevator apparatus. Since the amplitude of the elevator rope of each virtual elevator apparatus can be regarded as the amplitude of the elevator rope 53 of the elevator apparatus 50A under the same conditions as each virtual elevator apparatus, in the elevator apparatus 50A, the elevator rope 53 vibrates with an amplitude to be switched to the control operation. At the same time, it can automatically switch to control operation.

In addition, the control command generation unit 33 always refers to the earthquake impact prediction information after generating the control operation command, and repeats the amplitude of the elevator rope of the virtual elevator device from the swing width of the elevator rope of the virtual elevator device for the latest one cycle. The elevator apparatus having the elevator rope 53 having the same condition as the elevator rope of the virtual elevator apparatus having the amplitude equal to or smaller than the fifth threshold when it is determined that the obtained amplitude of the elevator rope is equal to or smaller than the preset fifth threshold. For 50A, the control operation is canceled to generate a control operation release command for resuming normal operation.
As a result, the swing of the elevator rope 53 of the controlled elevator device 50A is stopped, and at the same time, the control operation of the elevator device 50A can be automatically canceled and the normal operation can be resumed.

In addition, the control command generation unit 33 sets the amplitude of the elevator rope of the virtual elevator apparatus obtained after the virtual rope swing width exceeds the fourth threshold value and generates the control operation command without exceeding the second recovery stop threshold value. The diagnostic operation command may be generated only when the value is equal to or less than the threshold value. That is, the diagnostic operation of the elevator apparatus 50A of the elevator apparatus 50A can be performed only when there is no earthquake that causes the elevator rope 53 of the elevator apparatus 50A to vibrate with an amplitude exceeding the second restoration stop threshold.
In addition, the control command generation unit 33 has the amplitude of the elevator rope obtained after generating the control operation command with the virtual rope swing width exceeding the fourth threshold value not more than the second restoration stop threshold value, but not more than the fifth threshold value. Only when the control operation is canceled, the control operation cancel command for canceling the control operation of the elevator apparatus 50A and restarting the normal operation may be generated. In this case, normal operation of the elevator apparatus 50A can be resumed only when an earthquake that causes the elevator rope 53 of the elevator apparatus 50A to vibrate with an amplitude exceeding the second restoration stop threshold has not occurred.

Embodiment 3 FIG.
FIG. 9 is a configuration diagram of an elevator system according to Embodiment 3 of the present invention.
In FIG. 9, the same parts as those in the first and second embodiments are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof is omitted.

In FIG. 9, the elevator system 1C is configured in the same manner as the elevator system 1A except that it has an earthquake impact prediction device 10C instead of the earthquake impact prediction device 10A.
The earthquake impact prediction apparatus 10 </ b> C has a hoistway class storage unit 27.
The rope vibration prediction unit 25 is connected to the hoistway class storage unit 27 so that data in the hoistway class storage unit 27 can be referred to. The configuration of the other earthquake impact prediction apparatus 10C is the same as that of the earthquake impact prediction apparatus 10B.

The hoistway class storage unit 27 stores information on a plurality of hoistway classes A to hoistway classes F that are divided so as to be continuous in the height direction.
Sections of hoistway class A to hoistway class F are set as shown in Table 6 below.

  The rope vibration prediction unit 25 obtains the swing width RW of the elevator ropes of the plurality of virtual elevator devices provided in each of the plurality of virtual buildings installed in each area based on the swing width BW of the building for each elevator device. . At this time, it is assumed that each of the lifting strokes of the plurality of virtual elevators has a predetermined scale in each hoistway class.

  The rope vibration prediction unit 25 is provided in a virtual building having a height in an arbitrary height class h corresponding to an arbitrary building class b installed in an arbitrary area z, and enters a desired hoistway class s. From the following formula (3), assuming that the expected swing width of the elevator rope of the virtual elevator apparatus having the lifting / lowering stroke from the normal time is the rope swing width RW (area z, building class b, hoistway class s, t) Ask.

RW (area z, building class b, hoistway class s, t) = G_hoistway class s (BW (area z, building class b, t), RW (area z, building class b, hoistway class s, t) -1)) ... (3)
The G_ hoistway class s in the equation (3) is an equation for obtaining the rope swing width RW based on the BW as in the equation (2) G_building class b, but compared with the equation (2) G_building class b. This is different in that it is set for each of the plurality of hoistway classes s.
In addition, the attenuation rate of the elevator rope of the virtual elevator apparatus is set to an average value of the elevator rope of each elevator apparatus 50A. In addition, the elevator rope is assumed to be the main rope that suspends the car. However, when the swing width is predicted for each of the compen- sion rope and the control cable as the elevator rope, the length and attenuation rate of each of them are estimated. It is also possible to prepare a plurality of equations that set and to predict each swing width.

  In addition, the rope vibration prediction unit 25 calculates a virtual estimated rope swing width RW (area z, building class b) at a given time t + nΔt from the current time of the elevator rope of each virtual elevator device to a future time. , Hoistway class s, t + nΔt), based on the estimated virtual building swing width BW (area z, building class b, t + nΔt) obtained by the building vibration prediction unit 20.

  Here, as described above, in order to predict the influence of long-period ground motion, all buildings installed in a common area and having a height falling within a common height class can be handled together. Furthermore, the elevator rope 53 of the elevator apparatus 50 </ b> A having a lifting stroke that enters a common hoistway class among the elevator apparatuses 50 </ b> A provided in a building that can be handled collectively predicts the influence on the elevator rope 53 due to long-period ground motion. Can be handled together. That is, in order to predict the influence of the long-period ground motion on the elevator rope 53, it is not necessary to predict the swing width of the elevator rope 53 for every elevator device 50A for all the elevator devices 50A.

And the swing width calculated | required about the elevator rope of a virtual elevator apparatus can be regarded as the swing width of the elevator rope 53 of all the elevator apparatuses 50A in the same conditions as a virtual elevator apparatus.
The virtual elevator apparatus and the elevator apparatus 50A have the same conditions as the installation area, the virtual building to be installed, and the height class in which the height of the building enters each other, and the hoistway is the same hoistway This is the size within the class.

The earthquake impact information distribution unit 22 distributes the obtained information on the swing width of the elevator rope of the virtual elevator as earthquake impact prediction information described below.
FIG. 10 is a diagram illustrating the earthquake impact prediction information distributed from the earthquake impact information distribution unit of the earthquake impact prediction device in the elevator system according to Embodiment 3 of the present invention.

Information that associates the height class (building class) including the height of the virtual building assumed to be installed with each virtual elevator apparatus and the hoistway class including the scale of the hoistway of each virtual elevator apparatus with each other. It is configured to be distributed as earthquake impact prediction information.
In FIG. 10, for convenience of explanation, (maximum value of RW (rope swing width) up to the present, maximum value of RW (estimated rope swing width) from the current time to any future time) is expressed as (current Until the future).

Next, the operation of the elevator control command device 30 will be described.
The building information storage unit 32 stores building information described in Table 7 below.

  As shown in Table 7, the building information includes the building name, the installed bank, the name of the area where the building is installed (location information), the height of the building for all the buildings installed in multiple areas. The height class including the height and the hoistway class including the bank lifting / lowering process are associated with each other.

  For example, in the XX building, two banks are provided, and the scale of the up-and-down stroke of each bank belongs to the hoistway class A and the hoistway class B.

Next, the operation of the elevator control command device 30 will be described.
Then, the control command generation unit 33 includes an area corresponding to the elevator device 50A provided in each building stored in the building information storage unit 32, a height class, a hoistway class, a virtual building in the earthquake impact prediction information, and By comparing the area, height class, and hoistway class corresponding to the virtual elevator device, the elevator rope swing of the virtual elevator device corresponding to each elevator rope 53 of the elevator device 50A from the earthquake impact prediction information Information on the width is selected, and a control command for controlling the elevator device 50A installed in each building is generated according to the information on the swing width of the selected elevator rope.

  More specifically, the control command generation unit 33 first reads the building information from the building information storage unit 32 for each bank of each building, and from the earthquake impact prediction information, the area, height class, and Information on the elevator rope of the virtual elevator apparatus provided in the virtual building associated with the same area, height class, and hoistway class as the hoistway class is selected. Furthermore, the control command generation unit 33 uses the information on the selected elevator rope as information on the swing width of the elevator rope 53 of the elevator apparatus 50A including the bank in the read building information.

  Furthermore, the control command generation unit 33 generates control commands such as a control operation command, a control operation release command, and a diagnostic operation command in the same manner as the control command generation unit 33 in the elevator system 1B.

Further, the control command generator 33 may generate a resonance prevention command described below.
When the control command generation unit 33 determines that the information on the swing width of the elevator rope of the virtual elevator device selected this time is larger than the fourth threshold value from the earthquake impact prediction information, the control command generation unit 33 corresponds to the virtual elevator device selected this time. For area, height class, and hoistway class, the area and height class are associated with a common one, but the virtual elevator apparatus ropes of other virtual elevator devices associated with a different hoistway class Refer to the swing width of. A hoistway corresponding to a virtual elevator apparatus having an elevator rope having a swing width equal to or less than the fourth threshold when it is determined that the swing width of the elevator rope of the other virtual elevator apparatus referred to is equal to or less than the fourth threshold. The class lift stroke x is read, and a resonance prevention command for controlling the operation of the elevator apparatus 50A is generated as a control command as follows.

  That is, the resonance prevention command moves the car 55 so that the distance between the portion of the elevator rope 53 wound around the drive sheave 52a and the connecting portion to the car 55 is the same length as the lifting stroke x. Control command to stop.

Further, the control command generation unit 33 confirms that there is no person in the car 55 from, for example, the output of a weight sensor (not shown) that detects the weight in the car 55, and prevents the car 55 from running continuously. The command may be generated as a control command.
By continuing to run the elevator rope 53 together with the car 55, resonance of the elevator rope 53 is prevented.

And the control command transmission part 35 transmits a control command to 50 A of elevator apparatuses used as a control object, and control of the driving | operation based on a control command is performed in 50 A of elevator apparatuses.
Moreover, the elevator control part 58 is comprised so that the alerting | reporting means may be performed according to the received control command. When the elevator control unit 58 determines that the control operation command has been received, the content such as “the operation of the elevator device has been suspended because there is a risk of damage due to long-period ground motion” from the speaker. This is notified by voice or visually displayed on a display.

  According to the third embodiment, the elevator control command device 30 includes an area, a height class, and a hoistway class corresponding to a building where the elevator device 50A stored in the building information storage unit 32 is provided, and earthquake impact prediction.

It is assumed that the rope vibration prediction unit 25 assumes a plurality of virtual elevator apparatuses each having a hoisting process entering each hoistway class for each hoistway class, and further assumes that a plurality of assumed virtual elevator apparatuses are provided in each area. The information on the swing width of the elevator rope of each virtual elevator apparatus is obtained based on the information on the swing width of the virtual building.

  Further, the earthquake impact information distribution unit 22 includes information on the swing width of the elevator rope of each virtual elevator device, a height class corresponding to each virtual building, a hoistway class corresponding to each virtual elevator device, and each virtual elevator. The earthquake impact prediction information is distributed by associating with the positional information of the area of the virtual building where is provided.

It has the required structure. The obtained swing width of the elevator rope of each virtual elevator device is the same area, height class, and hoistway class as the area, height class, and hoistway class associated with the virtual building having each virtual elevator device. It can be regarded as the swing width of the elevator ropes of all elevator apparatuses 50A provided in the associated building.

For this reason, the earthquake impact prediction apparatus 10C avoids predicting the swing width of the elevator rope 53 due to long-period ground motion for each elevator apparatus 50A for all the elevator apparatuses 50A, and performs a long period without calculating more than necessary. What predicts the swing width of the elevator rope 53 due to the earthquake motion can be used. That is, in the earthquake impact prediction apparatus 10C, the amount of calculation required to predict the swing width of the elevator rope 53 is remarkably reduced. Therefore, the swing width of the elevator rope 53 is predicted in a short time and the earthquake impact prediction information is substantially real time. It can be included and delivered.
Further, in the elevator apparatus 50A having a lifting process that varies greatly with respect to the height of the building, the amplitude of the elevator rope 53 accompanying the predicted long-period ground motion is accurate without causing a large error compared to the actual one. Can be predicted.

  In the second and third embodiments, the building class is described as being defined by the height class. However, the building class may be defined by the height class and the attenuation rate class. .

In this case, similarly to the first embodiment, the building vibration prediction unit 20 selects a plurality of predetermined buildings (virtual buildings) having a height in the height class and having an attenuation rate in the attenuation rate class. Assuming each building class A-1 to F-4, each swing width of a plurality of virtual buildings installed in each area may be determined as a building swing width BW based on the ground swing width SW. . Furthermore, the rope vibration prediction unit 25 is provided in a plurality of virtual buildings installed in each area, and assumes a plurality of predetermined elevators each having a hoistway of a scale within the hoistway class for each hoistway class.
