When it is determined that the ball has run out, the notification device 2a of the remote monitoring device 2 sends a ball out notification to the computer 1a of the monitoring center 1.

FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an example of change in illuminance of the illumination device 8. In addition, FIG. 4 shows the first embodiment shown in FIG.
6 is a flowchart showing the operation of the elevator illumination monitoring apparatus according to the present invention. The operation of the elevator illumination monitoring apparatus according to the first embodiment will be described below with reference to FIGS. 3 and 4.

In FIG. 4, for example, in the early morning when the building starts to operate, and when the elevator is in the standby state and stopped on the floor (step S101), whether a call is generated at any of the floors of the halls. Is checked by the elevator control device 3 (step S102), and if there is a call, the process proceeds to step S103, and if there is no call, step S10.
Return to 1.

When there is a call, the elevator control device 3 issues an illumination lighting command (time T1 in FIG. 3), and the illumination device 8 is illuminated (step S103). This allows
If there is no abnormality in the lighting device 8, the illuminance gradually increases as shown in FIG. The elevator uses the above step S102.
The operation is started in response to the call, and the vehicle is landed and stopped on the floor where the call is made (step S104).

After landing of the elevator, the elevator controller 3 checks whether there is a next call (step S105). When the next call is made, the process returns to step S104. On the other hand, if there is no next call, the elevator controller 3 issues a lighting off command (time T2 in FIG. 3) a predetermined time (for example, 3 minutes) after the previous lighting lighting command is issued, and the lighting device 8 is issued. Turns off (step S106).

At the same time that the illumination turn-off command is issued in step S106, the measured illuminance value constantly measured by the optical sensor 7 while the lighting device 8 is turned on is the illuminance value immediately before turning off (C2 in FIG. 3). It is sent to the lighting inspection device 5 (step S107). As shown in FIG. 3, the illumination device 8 has zero illuminance after δt2 seconds after the illumination extinction command is issued, and is completely extinguished.

Next, the illuminance value C2 measured in the above step S107 and the normal value C0 of the illuminance registered in advance.
Are compared by the lighting inspection device 5 to check whether the illuminance is abnormal (step S108). If the illuminance is abnormal (when the illuminance measurement value C2 and the normal illuminance value C0 are significantly different), the process proceeds to step S109. If there is no abnormality, the elapsed time from the first call generation (step S102) is cleared to zero. After that (step S115), the process returns to step S102 to continue the monitoring.

It should be noted that the illuminance measurement by the optical sensor 7 does not necessarily have to be an accurate illuminance measurement as long as it is possible to determine whether or not there is a predetermined illuminance (lighting or non-lighting).

In step S109, the number of occurrences of illuminance abnormality is recorded by the abnormality occurrence number recording unit 33 of the computer 3a provided in the elevator control device 3. Next, the elapsed time from the first call occurrence is the specified time (for example, 4 hours) previously registered in the specified time registration unit 31.
The comparison calculation unit 32 checks whether or not has passed (step S110).

Here, if the elapsed time from the first call occurrence does not exceed the specified time, after the abnormality occurrence count recorded by the abnormality occurrence count recording unit 33 in step S109 is cleared to zero (step S114). ), And returns to step S102 to continue monitoring.

On the other hand, when the elapsed time from the first call occurrence has exceeded the specified time, the number of times of occurrence of the abnormality recorded by the number of times of occurrence of abnormality recording unit 33 is the number of times specified by the number of times registered in advance in the specified number of times registration unit 34. It is checked by the out-of-ball determining unit 35 whether or not (for example, three times) has been reached (step S111). Here, if the number of times of occurrence of abnormality has not reached the specified number of times, the process returns to step S102 and monitoring is continued.

If the number of times of occurrence of abnormality has reached the specified number, the out-of-bulb determination unit 35 determines that the illuminating device 8 is out-of-bulb (step S112). In this case, the notification device 2a provided in the remote monitoring device 2 notifies the computer 1a of the monitoring center 1 of the bulb out abnormality of the lighting device 8 via the communication line 4 (step S113).

According to the elevator lighting monitoring apparatus according to the first embodiment having the above-described configuration, for example, in a cold region where the temperature is below freezing in the early morning but rises during the day, Even if the lighting device 8 does not light up normally when the first call occurs in the early morning time zone, no abnormal ball outage is reported within the specified time from the first call, and after the specified time when the temperature rises. Also, when an illuminance abnormality occurs, it reports a ball out abnormality. As a result, it is possible to prevent the notification when the light is not normal but is not lit due to a low temperature, and it is possible to reduce false notification. Further, since one illuminance abnormality is not immediately reported, the notification is made only when the number of occurrences of illuminance abnormality reaches the specified number, so that false notification can be further reduced.

Further, when the illuminance is measured in a random time zone during which the lighting device 8 is lighting, immediately after the lighting lighting command is issued (time δt1 in FIG. 3) or just after lighting (time in FIG. 3). At t1), the illuminance value C1 is measured when the illumination is blinking or unstable, so that an accurate illuminance measurement value may not be obtained. On the other hand, according to the first embodiment, the illuminance is measured by the turn-off command after the lighting device 8 is continuously turned on (the illuminance measurement value is sent to the lighting inspection device 5 that determines the presence or absence of illuminance abnormality). ), The lighting is in a stable state and an accurate illuminance measurement value can be obtained. Therefore, whether or not the illuminance is abnormal can be accurately determined, and false notifications can be further reduced.

Further, in the above-mentioned first embodiment, it is possible to detect an abnormality in lighting in accordance with the environment of the building and notify the abnormality without the need for a clock device and a thermometer. That is, if a timepiece device is provided, it is possible to set a certain period of time during which an abnormality notification is permitted. However, according to the first embodiment, even if the elevator computer does not have a timepiece device, it can be specified. Providing time can reduce false calls.

In addition, it is theoretically possible to freely design by providing a thermometer so as not to notify even if there is an abnormality at 0 ° C. or lower. However, in order to select the place where the thermometer is installed or to measure the temperature accurately, a plurality of lighting devices 8
It is necessary to take time and labor such as installing a thermometer in each, and it is also necessary to manage the thermometer. In the first embodiment, erroneous notifications can be reduced without providing such a troublesome thermometer.

Embodiment 2. In the second embodiment, the setting of the program of the computer 3a is changed with respect to the determination method before the lapse of the specified time and after the lapse of the specified time.
FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing the operation of the elevator illumination monitoring apparatus according to the second embodiment. The processing of steps S101 to S109 in FIG. 5 is the same as the processing of steps S101 to S109 shown in FIG.

In FIG. 5, when it is determined in step S108 that the illuminance is normal, the process proceeds to step S1 as it is.
Returning to 02, monitoring is continued. On the other hand, when it is determined that the illuminance is abnormal, the process proceeds to step S109. In step S109, the number of occurrences of illuminance abnormality is recorded by the abnormality occurrence number recording unit 33 of the computer 3a provided in the elevator control device 3.

Next, it is checked whether the specified time has passed since the first call generation of the elevator (step S102) (step S201). Here, if the specified time has not elapsed since the first call occurrence, the out-of-ball deciding unit 35 checks whether or not the number of occurrences of the illuminance abnormality has reached the specified number (step S20).
2). If the number of abnormalities has not reached the specified number,
Returning to step S102, the monitoring is continued.

If the specified time has elapsed from the first call occurrence (step S201), or if the number of abnormal occurrences has reached the specified number (step S202), the out-of-ball deciding unit 35 causes the out-of-ball of the lighting device 8. Is determined (step S203). In this case, from the notification device 2a provided in the remote monitoring device 2 to the monitoring center 1 via the communication line 4.
The computer 1a is notified of the ball-out abnormality of the lighting device 8 (step S204).

As described above, in the second embodiment, if the specified time has elapsed from the first call occurrence of the elevator, the abnormality notification is immediately issued regardless of the number of occurrences of the abnormality. After the lapse of the specified time from the first call generation, the temperature is generally rising, and if there is no abnormality, normal lighting of the lighting device 8 can be expected. Therefore, prompt notification can be achieved by immediately reporting when one abnormality occurs.

Further, even if the prescribed time has not passed since the first call was made and the outside lighting temperature is still low, if the lighting time of the lighting device 8 becomes long, the lighting device 8 itself warms up and becomes in a stable lighting state. Can be expected. Therefore, even before the lapse of the specified time, when the number of times of occurrence of abnormality reaches the specified number of times, immediate notification can be made, so that early response can be achieved.

The prescribed time and the prescribed number of times can be freely designed in consideration of the environment of the building in which the elevator is installed and the management system. For example, the specified number of times may be changed before and after the specified time has elapsed (for example, 4 times before the specified time has elapsed and 2 times after the specified time has elapsed).

In addition, the respective embodiments described above are
All of these are merely examples of specific embodiments for carrying out the present invention, and the technical scope of the present invention should not be limitedly interpreted by these. That is, the present invention can be implemented in various forms without departing from the spirit or the main features thereof.

[0052]

Since the present invention is configured as described above, even if an attempt is made to turn on the lighting device of an elevator, a normal lighting state cannot be obtained. Even if an illuminance abnormality occurs at a low temperature, an abnormal ball-out abnormality occurs immediately. It is possible to accurately detect the ball out of the lighting device by determining that the ball is out of light only when the illuminance anomaly occurs even when the ambient temperature is not affected. it can. As a result, it is possible to reduce erroneous notifications such as abnormal notifications that are normally normal. Further, without using an additional device such as a clock device or a thermometer, it is possible to detect an illuminance abnormality in accordance with the environment of the building and report a ball out.

According to the third aspect of the present invention, if the illuminance abnormality occurs only once, it is not immediately judged as the out-of-bulb abnormality,
Since it is determined that the ball is out of ball for the first time when the number of occurrences of illuminance abnormality reaches a prescribed number, it is possible to detect the ball out of the lighting device more accurately and further reduce false notification.

Further, according to the invention of claim 4, if the specified time has elapsed from the first call occurrence, the abnormality notification can be immediately issued regardless of the number of times of occurrence of the abnormality. In addition, even if the specified time does not elapse after the first call is generated and the lighting time of the lighting device is long, it can be expected that the lighting device itself will be warmed and become in a stable lighting state even when the ambient temperature is still low. Even before the elapse of the specified time, when the number of occurrences of the abnormalities reaches the specified number of times, it is possible to immediately notify the abnormality. This makes it possible to promptly deal with the occurrence of an abnormality.

Further, according to the inventions of claims 1 to 8 , the illuminance is measured by the turn-off command after the lighting device is continuously turned on, so that the lighting is in a stable state and an accurate illuminance measurement value is obtained. be able to. This makes it possible to more accurately determine whether or not the illuminance is abnormal, and further reduce false notifications.
