DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an elevator maintenance work management system, and more particularly to a work procedure to be performed by each worker when an elevator restoration work is performed in response to a relatively large earthquake. The present invention relates to an earthquake-response elevator maintenance work management system capable of promptly and accurately giving instructions to a portable information device carried by a worker.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In general, various buildings are provided with various equipment such as elevators and alarm devices. Once a failure occurs, these equipments are greatly affected by residents of the building and people entering and exiting the building. Therefore, it is necessary to always perform proper maintenance and inspection of these equipment to ensure the operation. However, since these equipment and equipment cannot be normally subjected to maintenance and inspection unless a worker having specialized knowledge of the equipment and equipment, the owner or manager of each building performs maintenance and inspection of these equipment and equipment. It contracts with a maintenance company that has workers, and commissions maintenance and inspection of these equipment. The maintenance company regularly makes the workers visit each customer building to provide services such as inspection, repair, and maintenance of these equipment. In this case, an elevator maintenance company that handles elevators, which are representative equipment among these equipment, requires an elevator maintenance work management system to lubricate the patrol maintenance work of the elevators installed in each customer building. Has been developed to provide each worker with an appropriate work schedule and instructions based on the elevator maintenance work management system.

In the known elevator maintenance work management system, an elevator maintenance company periodically circulates a worker to each customer building, and performs a maintenance work for the elevators installed therein, thereby increasing the number of elevators. This is to prevent a sudden failure from occurring. On the other hand, when there is a report that a failure has occurred in any of the elevators, the worker who is performing maintenance work at the work site near the installation site of the failed elevator will perform the scheduled patrol maintenance work. They are temporarily suspended and rushed to the site where this failed elevator was installed.

[0004] In this case, the occurrence of the failure of the elevator is usually notified from a monitoring center or a customer to a sales office in charge of the failed elevator, and a person in charge of the business office receiving the notification generally installs the failed elevator. The worker who can arrive at the site earliest is called by a pager or the like, and instructions for restoring the failed elevator are given mainly by telephone, and almost no single failure of the elevator occurs. This can be handled by the above procedure.

However, as in the case of a wide area earthquake,
When a large-scale disaster occurs, many elevators stop at the same time or many elevators fail at the same time due to the earthquake quake or the operation of elevator safety devices, so these elevator stops and failures are notified once. Is input to the monitoring center or sales office. In such a state, the worker must perform the restoration work of all the stopped or broken elevators, and will have to work on the restoration work until all the elevators are completely restored. become.

[0006]

In the known elevator maintenance work management system, when a large-scale disaster occurs, such as when a wide-area earthquake occurs, a sales office in charge of the disaster-producing area is in charge. Need to give appropriate instructions for recovery work to many workers,
When the damage of the disaster is great, it takes a lot of time to give instructions for recovery work individually, and moreover, it is not possible to give proper recovery work instructions once, and the same work is repeated many times. There is a problem such as having to make a telephone call with the staff.

[0007] In addition, when a large-scale disaster occurs, it is often impossible to use the telephone line. In such a case, a worker who is dispatched to a maintenance work site temporarily goes to a sales office. Return, and then make a new patrol plan for the work site, and then take measures such as re-starting, or, at the worker's own discretion, patrol the customer buildings one by one, where the elevator is likely to stop or break down. However, there is a problem that it takes a considerable amount of time until the elevator is completely restored from the occurrence of the earthquake.

[0008] The present invention eliminates the above-mentioned problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide an elevator capable of accurately and efficiently instructing an elevator recovery operation to be performed by each worker when an earthquake occurs. An object of the present invention is to provide a maintenance work management system.

[0009]

Priority information is periodically created based on the above and stored in the second storage unit and the third storage unit in the portable information device, respectively, and the worker encounters an earthquake at the elevator maintenance work site. Then, the portable information device includes means for creating an earthquake response schedule based on the earthquake response priority information and the current position of the worker by the operation of the worker, and displaying the schedule on the display unit.

[0010]

According to the above means, the central information processing means comprises:
Based on the work instruction information stored in the storage unit, a work instruction plan table for each elevator is created periodically, for example, every year, transmitted to the terminal information processing means, and stored in the second storage unit. Let it be stored. The terminal information processing means periodically, for example, on a monthly basis based on the work instruction plan table stored in the second storage unit and the customer information in the work management information, performs the work for each worker. A tour plan and a work schedule are created, and these are stored in the second storage unit as work tour plan information. Further, the terminal information processing means creates earthquake response priority information (priority customer map) based on the customer information, and stores the third information in the second storage unit and the portable information device.
Are stored in the respective storage units.

The worker brings the portable information device and goes to the work site of the patrol maintenance work of the elevator, and when an earthquake is encountered at the work site of the patrol maintenance, the portable information device includes the earthquake occurrence information. Enter the current position of the worker. At this time, the portable information device automatically performs an earthquake response based on the input current position of the worker and the earthquake response priority information (priority customer map) already stored in the third storage unit. A schedule is created, and the schedule contents are displayed in a list on the display unit. The workers
In accordance with the displayed schedule contents, the user sequentially goes to the required work site, where the elevator recovery work is performed.

As described above, according to the above means, at the time of the occurrence of an earthquake or the like, the worker at the work site carries the information necessary for carrying out a new elevator restoration work accompanying the occurrence of the earthquake. Elevator recovery work can be performed immediately without having to return to the office every time, even if the information can be obtained immediately from the information equipment and the telephone line cannot be contacted due to interruption of the telephone line. And the time from the occurrence of the earthquake to the end of the elevator restoration work can be significantly reduced as compared with the conventional system.
