Description

  The present invention provides a guide light that monitors the status of each device by connecting disaster-proof lighting via a network, and can check whether it operates normally in the event of a disaster from another control terminal on the network. It relates to an automatic inspection system.

  Conventionally, lighting fixtures such as guide lights have been equipped with an emergency power supply so that they can show an evacuation route for a minimum specified time even when the commercial power supply is cut off in the event of an emergency. It must be possible. Therefore, it is legally required to periodically check whether or not the emergency power supply can be lit for an actually specified time.

  According to the laws and regulations described above, the actual inspections were carried out by suspending a weight on the inspection light switch, such as a pull-down switch, to check whether it could be lit for 20 minutes or 60 minutes with an emergency power supply. .

  Current appliances are switched by a pull-down switch so that they are lit by an emergency power supply.

However, in the case of such an inspection,
(1) The work of hanging and checking the weight of each guide light is very troublesome.
(2) It is also very troublesome to remove the weight after checking whether or not it is normally lit after a predetermined time.

  Therefore, in the conventional technology, a communication unit is provided in the guide lights, connected to each other, a control panel is installed to control and monitor the guide lights, and an inspection command is issued to each guide light. By transmitting or constructing a system in which the inspection results are sent to the control panel after the inspection of each guide light is completed and the control panel receives the signal, the above trouble is saved (patent Reference 1).

  However, even in such a technique, if the guide lights are inspected at random, for example, if adjacent guide lights are inspected at the same time, the following problem occurs.

  In other words, an emergency occurs immediately after inspection, and even if you want to use an emergency power supply to light up, the emergency power supply does not have sufficient time to charge, so the emergency light cannot be turned on. Serious problems occur in the vicinity of nearby guide lights that have been used. That is, since the guide light is not lit, the evacuation route is unknown.

  In the past, only the results after the inspection were received by the control panel. For example, if the periodic inspection is once every six months, even if the result after the inspection is normal, there is a problem until the next inspection. If this occurs, it remains unknown until the next inspection. In this state, when an emergency occurs, there is a possibility that the emergency power supply cannot be turned on for a predetermined time even if the previous inspection result is normal, which causes a serious problem.

  In addition, when there is an abnormality in the guide light, the abnormal part is replaced and returned to normal, but in fact, it often takes time to display the abnormality and replace it. In particular, in the case of a guide light installed in a place where a large number of people come and go, if it is not replaced immediately, a serious problem occurs in an emergency.

Furthermore, if there is an abnormality in the guide light so far, workers such as service centers go to the location, find out what is abnormal and which part of which part number is necessary, and then repeat the location. It was necessary to go to (see Patent Document 2).

  The present invention has been made in view of the above, and the object of the present invention is to provide a communication unit in a guide light and connect each to construct a network. By sending an inspection command and monitoring each status at an arbitrary timing, problems that occur in the guide light can be detected early and periodic inspections can be automatically performed. It is to provide an automatic inspection system for guide lights.

The guide light automatic inspection system of the present invention includes a guide light automatic inspection device and a guide light control monitoring panel. The guide light automatic inspection device can turn on the lamp by power supply from a disaster prevention lamp, an emergency power supply, and a commercial power supply in a normal time, and can turn on the lamp from the emergency power supply in an emergency. An AC / DC combined use lighting device, which has at least one inspection function, and is provided with a monitoring function that continuously monitors the state of the lamp or emergency power supply. A judgment section is provided to comprehensively evaluate the result of the inspection that is turned on by the power supply for the lamp and to judge whether the state of the lamp or emergency power supply is good or bad. It has a communication part which transmits the state of a power supply. A guide light automatic inspection device is connected to each other via the communication unit to construct a network. The guide light control monitoring panel is installed in the network and has a function of controlling and monitoring each guide light automatic inspection device. Giving a unique ID to each guide light automatic inspection device, when performing an inspection in order according to the ID, as guide lights automatic inspection device between adjacent are not inspected at the same time, the unique ID of the induction lamp automatic inspection apparatus at the same time to check with each other that flew of the number 1 or more.

  According to the guide light automatic inspection system of the present invention, all the guide light automatic inspection devices can be monitored and controlled by the guide light control monitoring panel. According to the automatic guide light inspection device, it is possible not only to perform periodic inspections, but also to detect abnormalities by performing inspections that have a shorter cycle than periodic inspections, and it is also possible to perform periodic inspections reliably. In addition, a plurality of guide light automatic inspection devices can be remotely monitored by connecting to a network, thereby saving a person from having to inspect each guide light one by one.

(Embodiment 1)
A first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. The configuration of the guide light automatic inspection system is shown in FIG. 1, and the configuration of the guide light automatic inspection device is shown in FIG.

  The automatic guide light inspection device lights a lamp with a disaster prevention lamp such as a guide light, an emergency power source such as a built-in or separate secondary battery, and power supply from a commercial power source in normal times. An AC / DC lighting device that can light the lamp from the emergency power supply when the power supply from the emergency power supply is interrupted, or when the commercial power supply is switched to the emergency power supply by a power switch (SW), etc. In addition, a check function (check SW) that can be manually performed by a person and the like and a check function that can be turned on and off by another means such as communication are provided. In addition, a monitoring function that continuously monitors the status of the lamp or emergency power supply by each part detection circuit etc. is provided, and the result of continuous monitoring and the inspection result by the inspection that turns on the lamp with the emergency power supply for a predetermined time or more are comprehensive. The evaluation unit evaluates the status of the lamp or emergency power supply, that is, whether each inspection result is good or bad, and is connected to this determination unit to receive signals from the outside, and the inspection result and each guide light itself It has a communication part which can transmit a state.

  The determination unit constantly monitors the state of the guide lamp and the battery by means of each unit detection circuit, and makes a determination using a microcomputer. In the case of a lamp, for example, the lamp life is notified by counting using a life timer, or the presence or absence of a lamp current is detected to determine whether the lamp is lit. In the case of a battery, for example, the presence / absence of a charging current and the battery voltage are constantly measured to determine the state of battery abnormality or battery disconnection. Further, in the case of a battery, for example, in a daily inspection, the battery state is determined by discharging the lamp for a relatively short time such as 1 minute in accordance with an inspection command from a guide light control monitoring panel described later. In the case of periodic inspection, the battery state is judged by discharging the lamp with the battery for a time determined by law, such as 20 minutes or 60 minutes. And at the time of this inspection, it sees the result of constant monitoring and makes a judgment as shown in Table 1.

すなわち、ランプおよび電池が正常である場合、点検により電池の良し悪しを判断する。ランプが異常と判断されている場合、電池判断のための点検において、電池でランプを放電させても、ランプが異常であるため、正確な結果はでないので、ランプ異常のままにし電池判断しない。一方ランプが正常で電池が異常の場合は異常のままとし、電池が外れている場合、点検において電池でランプを放電させようとしても、電池がないため放電できない。したがって、点検は行わない。ランプおよび電池がともに異常の場合異常のままにする。ランプの良し悪しの判断の場合も同様である。このように、常時監視と定期点検を総合的にみて、ランプと電池の状態を判断する。こうして複数の検出結果を統合して判断することにより、単に一つの検出結果に基づいてのみ判断が行われていた従来と比べて、より精度よく判断できることとなる。

That is, when the lamp and the battery are normal, the quality of the battery is determined by inspection. When it is determined that the lamp is abnormal, in the inspection for determining the battery, even if the lamp is discharged with the battery, the lamp is abnormal, so an accurate result is not obtained. On the other hand, when the lamp is normal and the battery is abnormal, the lamp remains abnormal. When the battery is disconnected, even if an attempt is made to discharge the lamp with the battery in the inspection, the battery cannot be discharged because the battery is not present. Therefore, no inspection is performed. If both the lamp and battery are abnormal, leave it abnormal. The same applies to the judgment of whether the lamp is good or bad. In this way, the state of the lamp and the battery is determined by comprehensively monitoring constantly and regularly checking. By integrating and determining a plurality of detection results in this way, the determination can be made with higher accuracy than in the conventional case where the determination is made only based on one detection result.

  The commercial power supply is rectified by the rectification unit and input to the lighting device via the changeover switch (SW) and the diode, and the emergency power supply is charged from the rectification unit via the charging unit, and the diode is supplied from the emergency power supply. Via the lighting device.

  The guide light automatic inspection system is connected to each other by means of communication transmission means, for example, communication lines, via the communication unit, and has a function capable of controlling and monitoring each guide light automatic inspection device in the connected network. A guide light control monitoring panel is installed and connected to the communication line.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 3 (a), the guide light control monitoring board transmits an instruction for daily inspection (indicated by a black circle) to be transmitted once a week and at a timing of once every three months. A command for periodic inspection (indicated by a black square mark) is transmitted at an arbitrary timing so that it can be transmitted in order to all automatic guide light inspection devices. Arbitrary timing is, for example, the timing as shown in FIG. 3A, and between each of the guide lights 1-5, as shown in FIG. Are shifted sequentially, and for periodic inspections, for example, are shifted by about two weeks. Here, once a week or once every three months is an example, any interval may be used as long as the daily inspection cycle <the periodic inspection cycle.

  Also, the guide light automatic inspection device that has received the inspection instruction sends a control signal from the determination unit to the changeover switch (SW) or the inspection switch (inspection SW) when receiving the daily inspection instruction, for example for one minute. The lamp is turned on with the power supply, and the quality at that time is judged and returned to the guide light control and monitoring panel as the inspection result. Further, when receiving a periodic inspection, for example, the emergency power supply is turned on for 20 minutes, and the inspection result is returned to the guide light control monitoring panel as in the case of daily inspection. Further, both the front and rear persons charge the emergency power supply for 24 hours after lighting, for example. The 24 hours is an example, and it is sufficient that the battery can be fully charged.

  When the guide light control monitoring board transmits an inspection command to each guide light automatic inspection device at the timing as described above, as shown in FIG. 3B, the guide light 1 is circled. There is a case where the timing of sending daily and regular inspection commands overlaps.

  In the case of overlapping, since periodic inspection is a legally important important command, the priority is increased, and as shown in FIG. 3 (c), before and after sending the periodic inspection command, Do not perform daily inspections during T time.

  Each automatic guide light inspection device not only receives the inspection command and sends the inspection result to the guide light control monitoring panel, but also constantly monitors the status of each part in the automatic guide light inspection device. It also has a function of transmitting the status to the guide light control monitoring board. The guide light control monitoring board receives the signal and keeps the state of each guide light automatic inspection device as data. In addition, if necessary, the data can be displayed in a form that is easy for humans to see or can be printed out, and can be provided in a form desired by humans.

This has the following effects.
(1) A person can save the trouble of checking each guide light one by one.
(2) Rather than performing regular inspections as in the past, abnormalities can be detected earlier by performing inspections with shorter cycles than regular inspections, and regular inspections can be performed reliably.
(3) The accuracy of the inspection result by inspection can be improved by state monitoring.

(Embodiment 2)
A second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. In the first embodiment, the actual arrangement of each guide light automatic inspection device is as shown in FIG. When inspecting lamps (guide lights), it is common to inspect several units at the same time. When a person performs an inspection, the inspection can be performed while considering the arrangement so that adjacent objects are not inspected at the same time, but automatic inspection may cause only the adjacent objects to be inspected at the same time. . In that case, if an emergency occurs after the inspection and before the charging of the emergency power supply is completed, the guide light does not turn on and a problem occurs.

  Therefore, schedule the inspection timing such as when to check which guide light automatic inspection device the guide light control monitoring device will perform so as not to inspect adjacent guide light automatic inspection devices at the same time. .

How to assemble
(1) As shown in FIG. 4A, a unique ID is assigned as an identification address in order according to the layout diagram (initial setting performed by a person).
(2) In the guide light control monitoring board, each inspection command is transmitted with respect to the unique ID, and the order is scheduled so that, for example, those having 5 unique IDs skipped are simultaneously inspected. As long as the number of units to be skipped is one or more, any number may be used.

  That is, ID (1, 6, 11, 16) is simultaneously set to ID (2, 7, 16) so as to simultaneously inspect the circles, triangles, squares, and the like in FIG. 12, 17) at the same time, ID (3, 8, 13, 18) at the same time, ID (4, 9, 14) at the same time and ID (5, 10, 15) at the same time.

  Thereby, there is an effect that the inspection can be automatically performed without simultaneously inspecting the adjacent guide lights.

(Embodiment 3)
A third embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. That is, in the first embodiment and the second embodiment, the layout of the guide light automatic inspection device is grouped in units of floors as shown in FIG. In this case, the schedule is organized as follows:
(1) Create groups in units of floors.
(2) Look at the layout on the floor (within the same group) and assign unique IDs in order from the adjacent ones.
(3) The order in which inspections are performed is in the order of unique IDs within the same group (there is no unique ID in which inspections are performed simultaneously).
(4) Check the same unique IDs of different groups at the same time.
(5) In the case of (4), adjacent groups are not checked at the same time.

  That is, when represented by “group ID-unique ID”, as shown in FIG. 5B, 1-1, 3-1, 5-1 and 7-1 are simultaneously converted to 2-1, 4-1, 6- Checks are performed such that 1,8-1 are simultaneously performed, 1-2, 3-2, 5-2 are simultaneously performed, and 2-2 and 4-2 are simultaneously performed.

  Thereby, there is an effect that the inspection can be automatically performed without simultaneously inspecting the adjacent guide lights.

(Embodiment 4)
A fourth embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. That is, in the first to third embodiments, means for determining the maximum value of the number of groups and the number of unique IDs in the guide light control monitoring panel is shown below (see FIG. 6). Normally, it is stipulated by laws and regulations that periodic inspections and the like are performed once every three or six months, for example. At that time, in the automatic guide light inspection device, for example, the emergency power supply is turned on for 20 minutes, and then it takes 24 hours to fully charge the power supply. That is, with one guide light automatic inspection device, 20+ (24 × 60) = 1460 [minute] takes time for inspection (FIG. 6A). Now, considering that the periodic inspection is rotated once every three months, it is necessary to check all the guide lights at 3 months × 30 days × 24 hours × 60 minutes = 129600 [minutes]. Therefore,
129600 ÷ 1460 = 88.76 [unit]
Thus, under the conditions set above, if the number is 88 or less, the inspection can be rotated once every three months even if the inspection is performed one by one (FIG. 6B). On the other hand, when the ID is automatically assigned, if the number of guide light automatic inspection devices is larger than the value calculated by the above calculation, it can be understood that the inspection cannot be performed at the designated cycle.

  Therefore, it can be understood that when the number of units to be inspected is larger than the calculated value, it is sufficient to establish a schedule for inspecting several guide light automatic inspection devices at the same time (FIG. 6 (c)).

  In addition, if a schedule for checking the number of units calculated above is formed, the time of checking varies. Therefore, when it is desired to align the inspection times, the inspection time is calculated and the rounded up date is set. Here, since it is 24 hours and 20 minutes as shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 7B, in the example in this case, if a schedule is set so that one unit is checked every two days, 45 units can be checked at the same time.

  The above has the following effects. That is, when automatically assigning unique IDs, it is possible to know the maximum number of unique IDs that can be checked separately.

(Embodiment 5)
A fifth embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. That is, in each of the above-described embodiments such as the first embodiment, the time between inspections can be shortened if the period of periodic inspections defined by laws and regulations can be made as short as possible. If it can be shortened, an abnormality will occur between inspections, and the possibility that the abnormality will remain in an emergency is reduced. Therefore, means for shortening the periodic inspection cycle when performing periodic inspection on the automatic guide light inspection device will be described below.

The number N of guide light automatic inspection devices to be installed in the system is set on the guide light control monitoring panel.
(First method)
As shown in FIG. 8 (b) to FIG. 8 (a), when the number A of guide light automatic inspection devices that can be inspected at the same time is determined in the system, N is divided by A as the number of groups. The value calculated in A is set to the maximum value of the unique ID, and if it exceeds that, it belongs to another group.

By setting as described above, it is possible to prevent a group having a large number of unique IDs or a group having a small number of unique IDs from being generated and an inspection cycle from becoming long.
(Second method)
In addition, as in the third embodiment, when a condition that adjacent groups are not inspected at the same time (when the group is divided into two for inspection, for example), from FIG. As shown in FIG. 3C, A × 2 is the number of groups, and a value calculated by N ÷ (2 × A) is set as the unique ID. If it exceeds that, it belongs to another group.

  By setting as described above, it is possible to prevent a group having a large number of unique IDs or a group having a small number of unique IDs from being generated and an inspection cycle from becoming long.

  In addition, when the group is divided into n for inspection, it can be applied in any case by calculating 2 at n.

  The above has the following effects. That is, since the periodic inspection cycle can be set short, the possibility of falling into an abnormal state between inspections is reduced.

(Sixth embodiment)
A sixth embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. In other words, in the first embodiment, inspections such as periodic inspections that are lit with an emergency power supply are performed in a time zone where there are as few people as possible.

  For example, periodic inspections and the like require 24 hours to light up the emergency power supply for 20 minutes and then fully charge the emergency power supply.

  Therefore, if the inspection is done in the morning, as shown in FIG. 9 (a), during the daytime when people are present, the emergency power supply is empty, that is, during the charging time. However, the battery is not charged. For this reason, inspections such as periodic inspections need to be charged as much as possible in the morning when people begin to exist. In order to do so, if regular inspections are performed during the time when people are gone, such as at night or on weekends, when people start to exist as shown in FIG. Charging is nearly full.

  Therefore, when scheduling is performed as in the first to fifth embodiments, scheduling is basically performed so that periodic inspections can be performed in a time zone where there are as few people as possible. To do.

  At that time, a priority order is set for the guide light automatic inspection device, and scheduling is made so that a device with a higher priority order can be inspected in a time zone in which there are no people.

When setting priorities,
(1) The priority is increased as there is no other automatic guide light inspection device in the vicinity.
(2) Higher priority is given to the automatic guide light inspection device installed near exits such as emergency stairs and emergency exits.
(3) The priority is set lower for guide light automatic inspection devices installed at locations where external light is incident, such as the window side.

  If it is installed in a place where such external light is incident, it is guided by external light even if it cannot be fully charged in the time zone where people are present during daytime inspections and cannot be turned on in an emergency. The possibility of recognizing the light is high. Therefore, the guide light automatic inspection device installed in a place where there is external light has a lower priority than other devices so that the other devices can be inspected in a time zone where no one is present.

  The above has the following effects. That is, in an emergency, a guide light attached at an important point can exist in a fully charged state as much as possible in a time zone where a person is present.

(Embodiment 7)
A seventh embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. That is, in the first embodiment, human sensors whose position information is known are arranged in the network. Here, this configuration is arranged in the same physical layer in the same network. However, the physical layer may be divided and arranged by a separate wiring, or a human sensor may be attached to the guide light automatic inspection device.

  In the schedule constructed in each of the above-described embodiments such as the third embodiment, the actual inspection timing is not based on the time when there is no person, but based on information from human sensors arranged in the network. For example, a schedule as shown in FIG. 11 is set in advance, and when it is B minutes before and after the inspection time as shown in FIG. Referring to the detection information of the human sensor, the inspection is started if it is C minutes after the human detection is stopped as shown in FIG. In other words, when the guide light control monitoring panel approaches the scheduled inspection time, the detection of the human sensor placed near the automatic inspection device that is scheduled to be inspected is not detected. Then, C minutes are counted, and if no detection is made during counting, an inspection start command is transmitted.

  The above has the following effects. In other words, the schedule is set so that the inspection can be performed at the time when there is no person as much as possible. However, since there may actually be a person, the presence / absence of the person can be checked while judging by the sensor. It can be checked at the time when there is no.

(Embodiment 8)
An eighth embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. That is, in the seventh embodiment, the order of inspection is performed from the guide light automatic inspection device attached to a place where there is no person for a certain period of time based on the information of the human sensor.

  At that time, since several automatic guide light inspection devices may start inspection at the same time, set up groups that can be inspected at the same time, and inspect them in order from when there are no people left. Do.

  As described above, the following effects are obtained. That is, since the inspection can be performed while judging the position where the person is actually absent by the sensor, the inspection can be surely performed at the time when there is no person.

(Embodiment 9)
A ninth embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 13 shows a state in which a brightness sensor unit is added to the configuration of the first embodiment and the detection signal is input to the determination unit. FIG. 14 shows the arrangement (indicated by a circle) of each guide light automatic inspection device, and an individual ID is assigned to each guide light automatic inspection device.

  FIG. 15 shows an example in which the guide light automatic inspection device automatically detects the mutual positional relationship and transmits it to the guide light control monitor panel. That is, a “mapping start” command is transmitted from the guide light control monitoring board to the all guide light automatic inspection device (step S1). Each of the guide light automatic inspection devices that have received the command enters a “mapping mode ID reception waiting” state and turns off (step S2). Next, the guide light control monitoring board sends a “lighting command for the designated ID” (step S3). In step S4, it is determined whether or not the address is itself, and only the guide light automatic inspection device having the designated ID is turned on (step S5). For other IDs, if there is an automatic guide light inspection device that is lit, the brightness sensor detects the lighting (step S6), and the automatic guide light with the lit ID is detected. It judges that the inspection device is next and transmits its own ID (step S7). The guide light control monitoring board receives the ID and stores that it is the ID next to the designated ID (step S8). The guide light automatic inspection device that is lit is turned off (step S5 ′). This procedure is performed in order, and the mutual positional relationship is memorized. The transmitted ID is incremented (step S9), it is determined whether or not it is the last (step S9 '), and when the above procedure is completed for all the guide light automatic inspection devices, "mapping completed" ”Command is transmitted to all devices (step S10), and the process is terminated (step S11).

Thereafter, when the guide light control monitoring board transmits an inspection command, as shown in FIG.
(1) Prepare to send an inspection command to Al with a small ID number.
(2) A2 having the smallest ID that is not adjacent to the IDAl is also designated.
(3) Further, A3 having the smallest ID that is not adjacent to the IDA2 is also designated.
(4) Specify the IDs in order, and specify the number of IDs you want to check at the same time.
(5) An inspection command is transmitted to the above ID.
(6) At the next inspection, prepare to send an inspection command to Bl having the smallest ID that has not been inspected.
(7) Repeat (1) to (5) below.

  As a result, it is possible to automatically determine the adjacency, and further to automatically schedule the adjacent objects so as not to be inspected at the same time.

  The above has the following effects. That is, it is possible to automatically discriminate between adjacent guide lights without intervention of a person's hand, and it is possible to automatically schedule so that adjacent neighbors are not inspected at the same time.

(Embodiment 10)
A tenth embodiment of the present invention will be described. That is, in each of the first and other embodiments described above, the guide light control monitoring board stores the state of each guide light automatic inspection device and the part number of the component member, etc., and monitors the state from each guide light automatic inspection device. Thus, when there is an abnormality, the part number and quantity of the member at the abnormal part of the automatic guide light inspection apparatus having the abnormality can be displayed.

  The above has the following effects. That is, it is not necessary for a person at the service center to go to the site to find out which part of which part number is abnormal and then go to that part again with that member.

(Embodiment 11)
An eleventh embodiment of the invention will be described. That is, in each of the above embodiments, the guide light control monitoring board monitors the state of any of the guide light automatic inspection devices, and when there is an abnormality, the abnormality display is fixed. The abnormality display is restored only when the abnormality is actually dealt with, such as replacement of a member.

  For example, if it is not possible to turn on the emergency power supply for a specified time during regular inspections, the guide light control monitor panel displays “emergency power supply abnormality”.

  Thereafter, when a daily inspection is performed, since the time for lighting with the emergency power supply is short, if it can be lit for the specified time, it is determined to be normal in that case.

  Therefore, once an abnormality is determined, it is possible to prevent erroneous determination by fixing the abnormality even if it is determined to be normal thereafter.

(Embodiment 12)
A twelfth embodiment of the present invention will be described. That is, in each of the embodiments described above, for example, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, priority is given to information held by each guide light automatic inspection device. That is, priority is given to the replacement of the lamp and the battery rather than the abnormality display of the battery as the lamp and the emergency power supply. Normally, when an abnormality occurs in the lamp or battery, each guide light automatic inspection device transmits it to the guide light control monitoring panel and displays an abnormality on, for example, an LED or LCD screen.

  On the other hand, if an abnormality occurs once on the guide light automatic inspection device side, it remains abnormal until the lamp or battery is replaced, so the state is maintained until a lamp replacement or battery replacement trigger is input. Good. Therefore, the information on the abnormal state may be retained. On the other hand, even if the holding of the abnormal state is canceled by the automatic guide light inspection device by replacement, it is unclear whether the abnormality has been canceled by replacement in the guide light control monitoring panel. It is necessary to inform the guide light control monitoring board. At that time, if the abnormality display and the replacement are information of the same level, the information of replacement is kept, and the state of lamp replacement or battery replacement is always continued, resulting in meaningless information.

  Therefore, the priority of the information of exchange is increased and the following operation is performed. When the guide light control and monitoring panel receives high-priority information “replacement”, the abnormality is cleared in the guide light control and monitoring panel, and, for example, the replacement history is posted to the guide light automatic inspection device. , "Processing complete" signal is transmitted. The guide light automatic inspection device that has received the “processing complete” signal does not hold the replacement information and can cancel the information.

  As a result, it is possible to separate the information to be retained from the information to be transmitted as a trigger, and to transmit the information reliably.

(Embodiment 13)
A thirteenth embodiment of the invention will be described. That is, in each of the above embodiments, for example, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the entire system actually sets the period of the inspection command transmitted from the guide light control monitoring panel to each guide light automatic inspection device. It changes according to the time since it was done. In other words, the guide light automatic inspection device is still new immediately after delivery, and therefore there is very little possibility of abnormal display due to inspection. However, as time goes on, things that become abnormal gradually increase, such as deterioration of parts. The inspection is to determine whether or not the battery in the automatic guide light inspection apparatus can be lit for a certain period of time as stipulated by laws and regulations, and the inspection is performed by discharging the charge stored in the battery. Therefore, 24 hours of charging is required after inspection. That is, if the number of inspections is increased, an abnormality can be found early, but conversely, the time during charging for 24 hours increases, and there is a greater possibility that the light cannot be lit for a specified time in an actual emergency.

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 17, since there is a low possibility of an abnormality immediately after delivery, the inspection cycle is increased in order to increase the inspection cycle and detect the abnormality earlier as time passes. Is shortened. Thereby, the time during charging is reduced as much as possible to increase the probability of normal lighting in an emergency, and an abnormality can be immediately detected for an old one.

  Here, the inspection cycle is changed according to the time from delivery. However, when an abnormality is unlikely to occur due to replacement of parts, the same effect can be obtained by lengthening the inspection cycle.

(Embodiment 14)
A fourteenth embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. That is, FIG. 18 has a configuration in which a priority order setting unit, that is, a priority order input unit and a state display unit are added to the configuration of the guide light automatic inspection device shown in FIG. 2 (first embodiment). This priority order input unit may be a dip SW, an infrared remote controller, or may be set via a communication line from a guide light control monitoring panel as shown in FIG. 19 (corresponding to FIG. 1). .

  The status display unit may be anything as long as its contents can be confirmed, such as an LED or a display on the LCD of the guide light control monitoring board. In such a method, the guide light automatic inspection device to which priority is set, when the result of inspection is displayed on the status display section, the higher the priority, the more abnormal the result will be notified Is displayed excessively. For example, if the status indicator of the guide light automatic inspection device is an LED, and the inspection result of the guide light is abnormal, the higher the priority, the higher the brightness of the LED or the blinking of the LED To speed up. Or, in order to display more excessively, the guide light is flashed to notify that it is abnormal. Further, the display is informed to a higher-level guide light control monitoring board, and a warning sound is then sounded to notify the abnormality.

  By these methods, it is possible to immediately inform the person that the guide light is abnormal, so it is possible to prompt replacement of abnormal parts.

(Fifteenth embodiment)
A fifteenth embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. The configuration of this embodiment is the same as that of the fourteenth embodiment. That is, the priority order input unit sets a priority order for each of the guide light automatic inspection devices, and the difference in the priority order makes a difference in the criteria for determining the abnormality of each component by the inspection of the guide light automatic inspection device. The actual inspection and replacement of parts takes a certain number of days before being replaced after it is determined to be abnormal.

  Therefore, for example, as shown in FIG. 20 and FIG. 21, a difference is given so that the higher the priority is, the faster the exchange is performed. That is, as shown in FIG. 20 (a), in the case of determining the lamp life, the timer after lighting is counted, and a difference is made in the count value of the timer for determining the life. In order to notify the life earlier as the priority is higher, the lamp life is determined when the count value is small, and the time is extended as the value is lower. However, there is a problem if it is stretched too much or too early, so a difference is given within a certain period.

  In the case of lamp abnormality determination, as shown in FIG. 20B, a difference is given to the criterion for determining abnormality by the lamp current. In order to notify the lamp abnormality earlier as the priority is higher, it is determined that the lamp is abnormal when the lamp current is large, and the determination value is lowered as the priority is lower.

  However, there is a problem in displaying an abnormality when the lamp current is too large or small, so the reference is determined with a certain width.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 21, in the case of battery abnormality determination, a difference is made in the criterion for determining abnormality based on the battery voltage. In order to notify the battery abnormality earlier as the priority is higher, it is determined that the battery is abnormal when the battery voltage is still high, and the determination value is decreased as the battery voltage is lower. However, if the battery voltage is too high or low, there is a problem if it is displayed as abnormal, so the standard is determined with a certain width.

  By means such as described above, according to the priority order, it is possible to promptly replace a higher one with a difference in the criterion of abnormality determination, so that it is possible to prevent a serious problem from occurring in an emergency without being actually replaced. .

(Sixteenth embodiment)
A sixteenth embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. The configuration of this embodiment is the same as that of the fourteenth embodiment. In other words, in the present embodiment, the priority order is set by the priority order input unit, thereby providing a level for the abnormality determination level. That is, as shown in FIG. 22, a notice that an abnormality will soon occur at a stage before the level at which the normal abnormality is determined is displayed. For example, as shown in FIG. 22A, in the lamp abnormality, the lamp abnormality is determined from the normal lamp current value. When the lamp current level is higher than the abnormality determination, the “lamp abnormality notice” is performed.

  In the battery abnormality, as shown in FIG. 22B, the battery abnormality is determined from the value of the normal battery voltage. When the battery abnormality level is higher than the abnormality determination, “battery abnormality notice” is performed. By giving an abnormality notice as described above, when an abnormality actually occurs, the replacement of the lamp and the battery can be accelerated, and it is possible to prevent a serious accident from occurring in an emergency.

  The above has the following effects. In other words, once an abnormality is determined, the display is fixed unless there is an exchange or the like, so that there is no possibility of a subsequent erroneous determination or display.
