Hereinafter, a modeling apparatus and a modeling method for an elevator according to an embodiment will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. The present invention is not limited to these embodiments.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram schematically showing an example of the functional configuration of the BIM system according to the embodiment. The BIM system 1 is roughly a BIM server 100 that provides information such as a three-dimensional model of a BIM model elevator (that is, a BIM component of the elevator), an information processing device possessed by a user who designs and maintains the elevator. 300 and 300 are communicably connected. The BIM server 100 corresponds to a modeling device. Here, as shown in FIG. 1, the communication includes, for example, remote communication such as wired/wireless communication via the network 400. In addition, each unit of the BIM system 1 is communicably connected via an arbitrary communication path.

The BIM server 100 includes at least a control unit 110 and a storage unit 120. The BIM server 100 has a function of creating a BIM model corresponding to the creation conditions transmitted from the information processing apparatus 300 and transmitting the BIM model to the information processing apparatus 300. The BIM server 100 is communicably connected to the information processing apparatus 300 via the network 400 via the communication control interface unit 130.

The control unit 110 is a control unit that performs various processes. The communication control interface unit 130 is an interface connected to a communication device (not shown) such as an antenna or a router connected to a communication line or a telephone line, and controls communication between the BIM server 100 and the network 400. Have the function to do. That is, the communication control interface unit 130 has a function of communicating data with the information processing device 300 or the like via a communication line.

The storage unit 120 is a storage unit such as a fixed disk device such as an HDD (Hard Disk Drive) or an SSD (Solid State Drive), and stores information such as various databases or tables (such as the component information storage unit 121).

The component information storage unit 121 stored in the storage unit 120 is a component information storage unit that stores component information for creating a BIM component for an elevator that can be incorporated into a BIM model of a building.

In the present embodiment, the elevator is a concept including an elevator and a passenger conveyor, and the passenger conveyor includes an escalator and a moving walkway. Here, the part information includes all information required for the user to design the BIM parts of the elevator. The parts information includes, for example, specifications of the elevator such as use, capacity, load capacity, operating speed, color, model, etc., space required for installing the elevator in a building, dimensions, information on various auxiliary equipment, and price. , Dimension, mass, color, material, natural frequency, and delivery date, inventory status, installation time, finishing material, manufacturer information, part number model number, etc., but not limited to the above.

Further, the part information storage unit 121 includes a part model of a standard product of a standard elevator, a standard product of outsourcing, or an inventory stock product in a manufacturing unit. Further, the component information is associated with each unit constituting the BIM component and the component. In the present embodiment, as the unit, one based on the production process, one based on the transportation unit, and one based on the construction/assembly process are used. That is, for each part, information indicating in which production process it is produced, information indicating which transportation unit it belongs to, and information showing in which construction assembly process it is assembled. In addition, when the component is composed of a plurality of constituent members, the component and the constituent member are associated with each other, and information indicating which production process is further upstream is added to each constituent member.

For example, when the elevator is an elevator as in the present embodiment, the units based on the construction and assembly process that constitutes the BIM parts include, for example, landings, rails, baskets with operation panels, counterweights, and hoisting machines. Can be illustrated. Further, as a reference of the transportation unit that constitutes the BIM component, a hall device, a hall door, a rail, a car, an in-car operation panel, a counter weight, and a hoisting machine can be exemplified. That is, the landing site based on the construction and assembly process is divided into the landing device and the landing door in the transportation unit, and the car with operation panel based on the construction and assembly process is divided into the car and the in-car operation panel in the transportation unit. To be done. Further, as a standard for the production process that constitutes the BIM parts, there can be exemplified hall equipment, hall doors, rails, ceilings, side plates, floors, frames, in-cab operation panels, counterweights, hoisting machines, and the like. .. That is, the car based on the transportation unit is divided into a ceiling, a side plate, a floor and a frame in the production process. The information indicating the relationship between each unit is also included in the component information storage unit 121.

Next, the control unit 110 will be described. The control unit 110 has a control program such as an OS (Operating System), a program defining various processing procedures, and an internal memory for storing required data. Then, the control unit 110 performs information processing for executing various processes by using these programs and the like. The control unit 110 conceptually includes a creation condition receiving unit 111 and an elevator modeling unit 112.

The creation condition receiving unit 111 is a creation condition receiving unit that receives a creation condition transmitted from the information processing device 300 held by the user. Here, the creating condition is a condition indicating the specifications of the elevator desired by the user. That is, the creation conditions specify the conditions for creating the elevator BIM parts that can be incorporated into the BIM model of the building. The creation condition may include, for example, at least one of model, color, material, desired price, delivery date, user's preference, and the like.

The elevator modeling unit 112 is an elevator modeling unit that creates a BIM component of the elevator corresponding to the creation condition received by the creation condition receiving unit 111 using the component information stored in the component information storage unit 121. The elevator modeling unit 112 creates, for example, a three-dimensional BIM part for an elevator. FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating an example of a BIM component of an elevator. As an elevator model that is a BIM part of an elevator, a hall door 201, a hall device 202 attached to the hall door 201, a car 203, a rail 204, a rope 205, a counterweight 206, a control board 207, and a hoist 208 are shown. There is.

The elevator modeling unit 112 includes a model capacity estimating unit 1121, a basic model creating unit 1122, an option model creating unit 1123, a communication model creating unit 1124, and a user display model creating unit 1125.

The model capacity estimation unit 1121 acquires the component information from the component information storage unit 121 according to the input creation condition, and estimates the model capacity when the model is created. Here, the model capacities of the respective products when the BIM parts of the elevator are divided into a plurality of products, such as building members, car products, hoistway products, and landing products, are estimated. For example, when the specifications and the building structure related to the overall length of the hoistway are input by the specification input, the model capacity estimation unit 1121 estimates the model capacity of the building frame, the steel frame member, and the rail model. When the type of elevator, the size of the car, and the number of cars are input by the specification input, the model capacity estimation unit 1121 estimates the model capacity of the car. When the floor setting and the hall use are input by the specification input, the model capacity estimation unit 1121 estimates the model capacity of the hall equipment. Further, when the option specification is input by the specification input, the model capacity estimation unit 1121 estimates the model capacity of the hoistway equipment.

When the total capacity of each model estimated by the model capacity estimating section 1121 is equal to or larger than a predetermined value, the basic model creating section 1122 produces the BIM parts of the elevator for each production process based on the part information in the part information storage section 121. It is divided into basic models of. The basic model creation unit 1122 divides, for example, the BIM parts of the elevator for each manufacturing product, and divides the production process into basic models in units of each master part (stock product, standard outsourced product, standard standard product). When dividing the BIM parts of the elevator and the capacity of the divided basic model exceeds a predetermined reference value, the basic model is further divided into upstream processes. Such division is performed based on the association between the component and the component registered in advance in the component information storage unit 121.

The option model creation unit 1123 creates an option model according to the input option specifications. For example, the option model creation unit 1123 creates an option model by adding options according to option specifications to the basic model.

The communication model creation unit 1124 assembles a basic model or an optional model for each of the products in units of transport units to create an assembly model, and classifies the model into one of a car product, a hoistway product, a landing product, and a building member. The transport unit unit is an assembly unit of parts transported to a building. For example, a car is an assembly of ceilings, side plates, floors, frames, etc. When the car is transported from the factory to the building in this unit, the car becomes the transport unit unit. Further, the communication model creating unit 1124 creates a communication model by modeling the assembly model for each article in the construction assembly order. That is, of the assembly models, those assembled in the same construction process are used as a communication model. After creating the communication model, the communication model creating unit 1124 measures the response time of the communication with the information processing device 300 of the user at that time. The communication model creation unit 1124 creates a new communication model by dividing the communication model when the communication response time exceeds a predetermined reference value, that is, when the communication status with the information processing device 300 is not good. To do.

When the communication status with the information processing device 300 satisfies a predetermined condition, the user display model creation unit 1125 extracts the communication model created by the communication model creation unit 1124 from around the communication model confirmed by the user. The information is transmitted to the information processing apparatus 300, assembled on the information processing apparatus 300 side based on the unified coordinates of the model, and the three-dimensional model, that is, the BIM part of the elevator is displayed. The communication status is, for example, a response time of communication of the information processing device 300. When the response time of communication is equal to or less than the predetermined reference value, the user display model creation unit 1125 transmits the communication model to the information processing device 300. The communication model confirmed by the user is, for example, the communication model corresponding to the article for which the user has issued a display processing request in the information processing device 300. The user display model creation unit 1125 preferentially transmits the communication model corresponding to the article for which the user has issued a display processing request to the information processing apparatus 300, and displays the three-dimensional model on the browser of the information processing apparatus 300.

With the configuration of the control unit 110 as described above, the BIM server 100 provides the automatic modeling service to the information processing device 300 of the user.

The information processing device 300 is an information processing device or the like used by a user such as a designer or a maintainer of a building elevator. The information processing device 300 is, for example, an information processing device such as a desktop or notebook personal computer that is generally commercially available. The information processing device 300 is equipped with, for example, an internet browser or the like.

The information processing apparatus 300 transmits a creation condition for creating a BIM part of an elevator that can be incorporated into a building to the BIM server 100, receives the BIM part created by the BIM server 100, and displays it on an Internet browser. ..

As described above, in the present embodiment, when a BIM part for an elevator that can be incorporated into a BIM model of a building is created, a model is divided for each production process to create a basic model, and an option is added to the basic model. Create an optional model with. Then, the basic model or the optional model is assembled in a transport unit unit to create an assembly model, and further, a communication model is assembled in the work assembly sequence. If the response time of the communication at the time of creating the communication model is equal to or less than a predetermined reference value, this communication model is transmitted to the user's information processing device 300, and the information processing device 300 causes the BIM component of the three-dimensional elevator ( Elevator model) will be displayed.

Next, a modeling method in such a system will be described. FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing an example of the procedure of the elevator modeling method according to the embodiment. Below, an elevator will be described as an example of the elevator. FIG. 4 is a diagram schematically illustrating an example of the content of elevator modeling processing in the BIM server according to the embodiment. Note that FIG. 4 shows an example, and an actual elevator modeling method may be different from that in FIG. 4.

First, the creation condition receiving unit 111 of the control unit 110 of the BIM server 100 receives the creation conditions indicating the specifications of the elevator from the information processing device 300. For example, the control unit 110 displays the creation condition input screen on the Internet browser of the user's information processing device 300, the user inputs the creation condition on the input screen, and executes the transmission command to the BIM server 100 to create the creation condition. The condition is transmitted to the BIM server 100.

For example, first, the creation condition receiving unit 111 receives, from the information processing device 300, the creation conditions for building members including the specifications regarding the hoistway length and the building structure (step S11). The model capacity estimation unit 1121 creates a building member model corresponding to the creation condition input using the component information stored in the component information storage unit 121, and estimates the model capacity at this time (step S12). The building member model includes a building frame model, a steel frame member, a rail model, and the like.

Next, the creation condition receiving unit 111 receives the creation conditions for the car supplies including the model of the elevator, the car size, and the number of cars from the information processing device 300 (step S13). The model capacity estimation unit 1121 creates a car model corresponding to the creation condition input using the component information stored in the component information storage unit 121, and estimates the model capacity at this time (step S14).

Further, the creation condition receiving unit 111 receives the creation conditions for the hall equipment including the floor setting and the hall specifications from the information processing device 300 (step S15). The model capacity estimation unit 1121 creates a hall model corresponding to the creation condition input using the component information stored in the component information storage unit 121, and estimates the model capacity at this time (step S16).

Further, the creation condition receiving unit 111 receives the creation conditions for the hoistway goods including the optional specifications from the information processing device 300 (step S17). The model capacity estimation unit 1121 creates a hoistway equipment model corresponding to the creation condition input using the component information stored in the component information storage unit 121, and estimates the model capacity at this time (step S18). ..

After that, the model capacity estimation unit 1121 determines whether the total capacity of each model is equal to or more than a predetermined value (step S19). When the total capacity of each model is equal to or larger than the predetermined value (Yes in step S19), the basic model creating unit 1122 creates a basic model in which the elevator model that is the BIM component of the elevator is divided for each production process. (Step S20). As shown in step S110 of FIG. 4, the basic model creation unit 1122 divides the hall equipment for each production process such as the hall device 501, the hall door 502, and the rail 503, and the basket goods are divided into the ceiling 504, The side plate 505, the floor 506, the frame 507, the in-car operation panel 508 and the like are divided for each production process, and the hoistway article is divided for each production process such as the counter weight 509 and the hoisting machine 510.

The basic model creation unit 1122 determines whether the capacity of the divided basic model exceeds the reference value (step S21), and if the capacity of the basic model exceeds the reference value (Yes in step S21), the process proceeds to step S20. Return, and process until the capacity of the basic model falls below the reference value. In this case, the basic model is further divided up to the upstream process according to the component information storage unit 121.

When the capacity of the basic model is less than or equal to the reference value (No in step S21), the option model creating unit 1123 creates an option model in which options are added to the basic model according to the input option specifications. (Step S22). As shown in step S120 of FIG. 4, the option model creating unit 1123 is an option according to option specifications for the basic model of the hall device 501, hall door 502, ceiling 504, side plate 505, floor 506, and in-cab operation panel 508. Create an optional model with. The optional models are a hall device with LED (Light Emitting Diode) display 501a, a hall door with curtain plate 502a, an optional design ceiling 504a, an optional design side plate 505a, an optional design floor 506a, and an in-cab operation panel (liquid crystal) 508a.

Then, the communication model creation unit 1124 creates an assembly model in which the basic model or the option model is assembled up to the transport unit unit for each item (step S23). For example, if the car is a transport unit unit, as shown in step S130 of FIG. 4, it is an assembly model using the option design ceiling 504a, the option design side plate 505a, the option design floor 506a, and the frame 507. The car 520 is created. The rail 503, the counterweight 509, and the hoisting machine 510, and the optional model of the landing device 501a with an LED display, the landing door 502a with a curtain plate, and the in-car operation panel (liquid crystal) 508a are the transportation unit units. It will be the assembly model of.

After that, or when the total capacity of each model is less than the predetermined value in step S19 (No in step S19), the communication model creating unit 1124 determines that the assembly model of each product is a car product or hoistway product. , A landing article or a building member (step S24).

Then, the communication model creation unit 1124 creates a communication model in which the assembly models of the respective articles are assembled for each construction assembly process (step S25). As shown in step S140 of FIG. 4, the communication model creation unit 1124 assumes that the hall device with LED display 501a and the hall door with curtain plate 502a are assembled in the same construction and assembly process as the hall 521, and the communication model is Shall be created. Further, it is assumed that the car 520 and the in-car operation panel (liquid crystal) 508a are assembled in the same construction and assembly process as the operation panel-equipped car 520a, and a communication model is created. The other assembly models of the rail 503, the counterweight 509, and the hoisting machine 510 serve as communication models as they are.

Thereafter, the communication model creation unit 1124 measures the response time of the communication with the user's information processing device 300 (step S26), and determines whether the response time of the communication exceeds a predetermined reference value (step S26). Step S27). When the response time of communication exceeds the predetermined reference value (Yes in step S27), the communication model is further divided to reduce the capacity and a new communication model is created (step S28). ). At this time, the construction assembly process assembled in step S25 is further subdivided, and an assembly model is assembled for each subdivided process according to the response time of communication to create a new communication model. Then, the process returns to step S27.

For example, when the response time of communication exceeds the reference value, as shown in step S150 of FIG. 4, the landing 521 of the communication model is the landing device 501a with LED display and the landing door with the curtain board of the new communication model. 502a, and a car 520a with an operation panel of the communication model is divided into a car 520 of a new communication model and an operation panel (liquid crystal) 508a in the car. In this case, the communication model includes the hall device with LED display 501a, the hall door with curtain plate 502a, the rail 503, the car 520, the in-car operation panel (liquid crystal) 508a, the counterweight 509, and the hoisting machine 510. ..

On the other hand, when the response time of the communication is equal to or less than the predetermined reference value in step S27 (No in step S27), the user display model creation unit 1125 acquires the article which the user is trying to display ( Step S29). For example, by receiving a display request for a product via the Internet browser of the information processing device 300, the product that the user is trying to display can be acquired.

Then, the user display model creation unit 1125 preferentially transmits the communication model corresponding to the article that the user is trying to display to the information processing device 300 of the user (step S30), and the information processing device 300 of the user transmits the communication model. A BIM model in which is integrated is generated and displayed on the Internet browser (step S30). In step S160 shown in FIG. 4, the above communication model is transmitted to the information processing apparatus 300 of the user, and the elevator model 550 is constructed on the information processing apparatus 300 using the plurality of communication models. This is the end of the process.

In the above description, the case where the BIM server 100 that models BIM components is physically arranged on the network 400 has been described as an example, but the embodiment is not limited to this. For example, the cloud server may be provided with the function of a BIM server that models the BIM parts of the elevator. In this case, the modeling rule based on the elevator rules is customized by the modeling system built on the cloud system.

According to the embodiment, the BIM server 100 divides the elevator model, which is a BIM component, into a basic model when modeling a BIM part of the elevator, with the elevator manufacturing process as a unit, and an option is added to the basic model. Create the added option model. Then, the BIM server 100 assembles a basic model or an option model in transport unit units to create an assembly model, and further creates a communication model in which the assembly model is assembled in units of the elevator assembly work assembly process. Then, the communication model corresponding to the product the user is trying to display is preferentially transmitted to the information processing device 300 of the user and displayed. As a result, even if the capacity of CAD (Computer-Aided Design) data to be modeled by the BIM server 100 is large, it is divided for each product, so that the modeling load of the BIM server 100 can be suppressed and the modeling processing speed can be reduced. Can be improved as compared with the conventional one.

Also, for elevator products including elevators composed of many parts, communication is performed with the user information processing device 300 side in units of production process, transport unit, and construction/assembly process, and the information processing device 300 side of the user is communicated. I tried to assemble with. This allows the user to perform modeling while confirming the design content or a necessary part for each construction process. Furthermore, if the user is not a designer but an operator who performs maintenance, checking the model for each production process or for each transport unit simplifies the checking of necessary maintenance parts.

Further, the model capacity is calculated from the specifications input from the user side, and the elevator model is disassembled and assembled according to the model capacity. As a result, the processing load on the BIM server 100 can be reduced.

Also, according to the communication status between the BIM server 100 and the user's information processing apparatus 300, the user is divided or assembled into transport unit units or work assembly process units. The desired item can be displayed on the information processing device 300 with priority. In addition, it is possible to reduce the load of the model building process on the information processing device 300 side of the user.
