Fire detectors 3 installed on each floor, broadcasting devices 4 installed on each floor, elevator group management device 5 for managing and controlling elevator groups in the building, elevator control device 6 for controlling elevators, elevator car 7, and each floor The reader 8 is installed at the hall.

The building management system 2 has weak detection means 9 for grasping weak persons in the building. For example, an IC tag is distributed to a weak person, and the weak person who exists in a building is grasped by reading the information on an IC tag with a reader arranged in the building. And the building management system 2 memorize | stores the present number of the weak people who exist and the floor which is staying as an in-store information. Then, when there is a request for the presence information from the evacuation support device 1, the stored presence information is transmitted.
In addition, in buildings where security management is complete through entrance / exit management of the building or entrance / exit management of rooms in the building, authentication is performed with an IC card at the entrance of the building, etc., and the information contained in this IC card It is also possible to detect the presence of the weak from.

In addition, the building management system 2 transmits to the evacuation support apparatus 1 fire information including the fact that a fire has occurred when the fire detector 3 has triggered and the location and fire prevention area where the fire has occurred.
In addition, the building management system 2 performs notification and guidance regarding the operation mode transmitted from the evacuation support apparatus 1 from the broadcasting apparatus 4 to the living room, hallway, stairs, and elevator hall according to the weak person evacuation mode or the healthy person evacuation mode.

The elevator group management device 5 divides the floor to be serviced into a plurality of service zones, and controls a plurality of elevators that service each service zone from the entrance floor. And when the fire detector 3 installed in each floor detects fire occurrence, each elevator is stopped to the nearest floor.
Further, the elevator group management device 5 performs evacuation operation for each elevator according to the availability of the evacuation operation transmitted from the evacuation support device 1 and the operation mode command when the evacuation operation is possible.

The evacuation support device 1 includes a communication unit 11 that performs information communication with the elevator group management device 5 and the building management system 2, a fire state determination unit 12 that determines a fire state based on fire information obtained from the building management system 2, Evacuation driving availability determination means 13 for determining whether or not an evacuation operation is possible based on the determination result of the fire situation determination means 12, an evacuation operation for healthy people who makes an evacuation operation plan using an elevator for healthy people and instructs each elevator group management device 5 The operation mode control means 14, the evacuation operation mode control means 15 for the weak who makes an evacuation operation plan using the elevator for the weak and commands each elevator group management device 5, and the evacuation operation mode switching for the normal and weak is performed. Depending on the evacuation operation mode switching means 16, the evacuation operation mode for the weak or the evacuation operation mode for the healthy person, Stage has a notification unit 17, the weak residual information transmitting means 18 for transmitting the weak residual information to the building management system 2 if there are weak unable elevator evacuation to perform notification and guidance relating to the operation mode to the elevator hall.
Moreover, the evacuation assistance apparatus 1 is comprised by the microcomputer, and the above-mentioned means is comprised by software.

Based on the fire information transmitted from the building management system 2, the fire situation determination unit 12 identifies a place and a fire prevention zone that can be used for evacuation.
The evacuation operation availability determination means 13 creates an evacuation operation method for an elevator in consideration of safety based on the place, fire prevention zone and building equipment information that can be used for evacuation specified by the fire condition determination means 12. However, when an evacuation operation method is created, it is determined that evacuation operation is possible, and when no evacuation operation method is created, it is determined that evacuation operation is impossible.

  The healthy person evacuation operation mode control means 14 is configured to determine whether or not an evacuation operation is possible for an elevator that services a zone that does not include a fire occurrence floor. Rescue floor setting means for setting a rescue floor according to the floor that has occurred, and an evacuation operation command that supports the evacuation of building residents by reciprocating the elevator between the entrance floor serving as an evacuation floor and the rescue floor Means.

  When the reader 8 installed at the landing on each floor reads personal identification information from the IC tag brought by the weak, the weak evacuation operation mode control means 15 causes the elevator to respond to a dedicated call registered at the landing. The elevator may be made to respond to a dedicated call registered at the landing only when the IC card carried by the weak is held by a card reader installed at the landing on each floor and is recognized as a weak. Moreover, priority may be given to the dedicated calls registered on each floor in accordance with the fire occurrence information, and responses may be made in order.

When it is determined that the evacuation operation is possible, the evacuation operation mode switching means 16 switches the operation mode to the evacuation operation mode for the weak person until the predetermined time elapses without the evacuation of the weak person being completed. When completed or when a predetermined time has elapsed, the operation mode is switched to the evacuation operation mode for healthy persons.
The weak remaining information transmitting means 18 transmits the weak remaining information to the building management system 2 when there is a weak who cannot evacuate the elevator.

Next, the outline of the operation of the elevator system according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing the procedure of the elevator evacuation service.
In step S100, when a fire occurrence is confirmed after the fire is detected by the fire detector 3, the fire occurrence confirmation information is transmitted from the building management system 2 to the evacuation support apparatus 1, so whether or not a fire has occurred is determined. judge. When it is determined that a fire has occurred, the process proceeds to step S101, and when it is determined that no fire has occurred, S100 is repeated.
In step S101, each elevator shifts to an operation called fire control operation. In this fire control operation, the traveling elevator stops and closes to the nearest floor, returns to the evacuation floor, opens the door, and passengers get off.

  In step S102, it is determined whether evacuation operation is possible. If it is determined that the evacuation operation is possible, the process proceeds to step S103. If it is determined that the evacuation operation is impossible, the elevator-based evacuation service is terminated.

  In step S103, information on the vulnerable person in the building is acquired from the building management system 2, and it is determined whether or not the weak person is in the building. When it is determined that the weak are present, the process proceeds to step S104, and when it is determined that the weak is not present, the process proceeds to step S108.

In step S104, the evacuation operation for the weak is performed.
In step S105, it is determined whether or not the vulnerable evacuation is completed. In order to determine whether or not this weak evacuation is completed, it is determined whether or not the weak are present in the same manner as in step S103, and it is determined that the evacuation is complete when the weak are not present. If the vulnerable evacuation is completed, the process proceeds to step S108, and if the vulnerable evacuation is not completed, the process proceeds to step S106.

In step S106, it is determined whether or not a predetermined time has elapsed since the elevator operation was switched to the vulnerable evacuation operation mode. If it has not elapsed, the process returns to step S104, and if it has elapsed, the process proceeds to step S107.
In step S107, the weak remaining information is transmitted to the building management system 2, and the process proceeds to step S108. This is a process for providing information for rescue work at a fire department or the like when there is a weak person who cannot reach the elevator hall for some reason.
In step S108, the evacuation operation for healthy persons is performed.

In step S109, it is determined whether or not the elevator evacuation has been completed. If it is determined that it has been completed, the elevator evacuation service is terminated. If it is determined that the process has not been completed, the process returns to step S102.
There are three possible conditions for determining completion. The first is judged to be the end of operation by human judgment such as disaster prevention personnel, fire brigade, and if it is entered as the end of operation, the second is threatened the safety of elevator operation due to the progress of fire or inundation of digestion activities, etc. In this case, there is no third boarding and it is determined that the evacuation is completed.
The first condition is manually input, and the second and third conditions can be automatically determined by a sensor of an elevator-related facility such as a boarding / exiting sensor.

  In this way, the elevator system responds to the detection results of the weak person evacuation operation mode control means 15 for evacuating the weak person, the healthy person evacuation operation mode control means 14 for evacuating the healthy person, and the weak person detection means. The evacuation operation mode switching means 16 for determining whether to switch between the evacuation operation mode for the weak and the evacuation operation mode for the healthy person is provided, so that a realistic elevator use evacuation can be realized in an actual building in which the healthy person and the weak are mixed. There is an effect that can be.

  Further, the evacuation operation mode switching means 16 determines the evacuation operation mode for weak persons while the weak detection means 9 of the building management system 2 detects the weak persons present in the building, and all the weak persons in the evacuation are evacuated. Since it is determined that the evacuation operation mode for healthy persons is detected when the detection is completed, the evacuation operation mode for the healthy person can be evacuated immediately after the weak person.

  Further, the evacuation operation mode switching means 16 is determined to be the evacuation operation mode for the weak when the weak person detection means 9 detects a weak person in the building during the evacuation operation mode for the healthy person. Elevator use evacuation taking into account all weak people is effective.

  Further, the evacuation operation mode switching means 16 detects a weak person present in the building by the weak person detection means 9 of the building management system 2 and determines that the evacuation operation mode is for the weak, even if a predetermined time has elapsed. Since all the weak people in the building are determined to be in the evacuation operation mode for healthy persons when the evacuation is not completed, there is an effect that it is possible to evacuate using elevators considering not only the weak but also healthy persons.

  Further, the evacuation operation mode control means 15 for the weak for evacuating the weak, the evacuation operation mode control means 14 for the healthy person for evacuating the healthy person, and the evacuation operation for the weak according to the detection result of the weak detection means 9 Evacuation operation mode switching means for determining switching between the evacuation operation mode and the evacuation operation mode for healthy persons, and notification and guidance regarding the operation mode in the room, hallway, stairs or elevator platform according to the evacuation operation mode for weak persons or the evacuation operation mode for healthy persons And a means for transmitting weak residual information to the building management system 2 when there is a weak person who cannot evacuate the elevator. Above, it is possible to realize realistic elevator evacuation in an actual building where healthy and weak people are mixed The effect say.
