<Configuration of Elevator System Using Elevator Control Device according to First Embodiment>
A configuration of an elevator system using the elevator control apparatus according to the first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.

  The elevator system 1 according to the present embodiment includes an elevator 10 installed in a building, a power failure continuous operation device 20 provided with a spare battery 21 as a standby power source for supplying power to the elevator 10 at the time of power failure of the building, A fire alarm 30 is installed in the building and connected to the elevator 10 and the continuous operation device 20 during a power failure.

  The elevator 10 has an elevator control panel 11 and a car 12. The elevator control panel 11 includes an operation control unit 111, a power failure monitoring unit 112, a standby power supply control unit 113, a timer 114, a first remaining capacity measurement unit 115, and a determination unit 116.

  The operation control unit 111 causes the car 12 to travel at a first speed that is a rated speed during normal times when power is supplied from a commercial power source. When a power failure occurs, the car 12 is switched to run at a second speed, which is a continuous operation speed during a power failure that is slower than the first speed. Thereafter, when a fire occurrence signal is received from the fire alarm 30, the car 12 is caused to travel by switching the speed based on the remaining capacity information of the spare battery 21 notified from the determination unit 116 described later.

  The power failure monitoring unit 112 monitors the power supplied from the commercial power source and, when detecting that the power from the commercial power source has stopped, sends a power failure occurrence notification to the standby power source control unit 113. Further, when it is detected that the power from the commercial power supply has been restored after the occurrence of the power failure, a power failure end notification is sent to the standby power supply control unit 113.

  When the standby power supply control unit 113 receives the power failure occurrence notification from the power failure monitoring unit 112, the standby power supply control unit 113 starts power supply from the standby battery 21 to the elevator 10. Further, when the timer 114 detects that a predetermined time has elapsed since the occurrence of the power failure, the power supply from the spare battery 21 to the fire alarm 30 is started. In addition, when a power failure end notification is received from the power failure monitoring unit 112, power supply from the spare battery 21 to the elevator 10 and the fire alarm 30 is stopped.

  The timer 114 detects this when a predetermined time has elapsed after the occurrence of a power failure.

  The first remaining capacity measuring unit 115 measures the remaining capacity of the spare battery 21 at predetermined time intervals.

  When the determination unit 116 starts supplying power from the spare battery 21 to the elevator 10 and further receives a fire occurrence signal from the fire alarm 30, whether or not the remaining capacity of the spare battery 21 exceeds a preset first threshold value. Determine whether. Moreover, if it determines with the remaining capacity of the spare battery 21 being below a 1st threshold value, it will further determine whether it exceeds the 2nd threshold value lower than a 1st threshold value.

  The fire alarm 30 includes a processing unit 31 and an internal battery 32 as a standby power source that supplies power to the fire alarm 30 when a power failure occurs in the building. The processing unit 31 includes a detection unit 311 and a notification unit 312.

  The detection unit 311 detects the occurrence of a fire by sensing smoke, heat, ignition, or the like.

  When the detection unit 311 detects the occurrence of a fire, the notification unit 312 outputs an alarm sound and sound information for notifying the detection unit 311 from a speaker (not shown) and displays the alarm sound or sound information on a display device (not shown). Is transmitted to the elevator control panel 11.

  In the elevator system 1 configured as described above, the spare battery 21 of the continuous operation apparatus 20 during a power failure has a sufficiently larger capacity than the internal battery 32 of the fire alarm 30, and the spare battery 21 has the capacity of the elevator 10. The operation can be performed for about 120 minutes, and the operation of the fire alarm 30 by the internal battery 32 can be performed for about 60 minutes.

<Operation of Elevator System Using Elevator Control Device According to First Embodiment>
Next, the operation of the elevator system 1 according to the present embodiment will be described. FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing the discharge control operation of the power failure continuous operation device 20 executed by the elevator control panel 11 when a power failure occurs.

  When a power outage occurs in the building, the power outage monitoring unit 112 of the elevator control panel 11 detects a power outage and sends a power outage notification to the standby power source control unit 113 (S1).

  When the standby power supply control unit 113 receives a power failure occurrence notification, power supply from the standby battery 21 to the elevator 10 is started (S2).

  When power supply from the spare battery 21 to the elevator 10 is started, measurement of a predetermined time set in advance by the timer 114 is started. The predetermined time is a time during which power supply can be continued from the internal battery 32 of the fire alarm 30 during a power failure, and is, for example, about 60 minutes.

  When the timer 114 detects that a predetermined time has passed (S3), the standby power supply control unit 113 starts supplying power from the standby battery 21 of the power failure continuous operation device 20 to the fire alarm 30 (S4). ).

  If the power failure monitoring unit 112 detects that the commercial power supply has been restored while the discharge control operation during the power failure is performed, the power supply from the spare battery 21 to the elevator 10 and the fire alarm 30 is stopped. Is done.

  The operation control operation of the elevator 10 that is executed by the elevator control panel 11 when a power failure occurs is referred to the flowchart shown in FIG. I will explain.

  First, during normal times when power is supplied from a commercial power source, the operation control unit 111 controls the car 12 to travel at a first speed (for example, 60 m / min) that is a rated speed (S11).

  Thereafter, when the power failure monitoring unit 112 of the elevator control panel 11 detects that a power failure has occurred in the building, and a power failure occurrence notification is sent to the standby power supply control unit 113 (S12), the standby battery 21 sends to the elevator 10 Power supply is started (S13).

  When power supply from the spare battery 21 to the elevator 10 is started, the operation control unit 111 causes the car 12 to travel at a second speed (10 m / min) that is a continuous operation speed during a power failure that is slower than the first speed. (S14).

  Thereafter, when a fire occurrence signal is received from the fire alarm 30 (“YES” in S15), the remaining capacity of the spare battery 21 acquired in the first remaining capacity measuring unit 115 is acquired in the determination unit 116 at predetermined time intervals, It is determined whether or not a preset first threshold is exceeded (S16).

  Here, when it is determined that the remaining capacity of the spare battery 21 exceeds the first threshold (“YES” in S16), the remaining capacity is sufficient, so that the operation control unit 111 sets the first rated speed at the normal time. Returning to the first speed, the car 12 is switched to travel to the evacuation floor (S17).

  When it is determined in step S16 that the remaining capacity of the spare battery 21 is equal to or less than the first threshold (“NO” in S16), it is further determined whether or not the second threshold lower than the first threshold is exceeded. It is determined (S18).

  Here, when it is determined that the remaining capacity of the spare battery 21 exceeds the second threshold value ("YES" in S18), the remaining capacity is reduced in the operation at the rated speed although there is the remaining capacity. The control unit 111 switches the car 12 to the evacuation floor at a third speed (for example, 30 m / min) that is slower than the first speed and faster than the second speed (S19).

  Further, when it is determined that the remaining capacity of the spare battery 21 is equal to or less than the second threshold value (“NO” in S18), the operation control unit 111 switches the car 12 to travel to the evacuation floor at the second speed. (S20).

  Until the transmission of the fire occurrence signal is stopped (“NO” in S21), the processes in steps S16 to S20 are repeated. When the transmission of the fire occurrence signal is stopped (“YES” in S21), the process returns to step S14, and the normal operation is performed. Return to continuous operation at power failure.

  If the power failure monitoring unit 112 detects that the commercial power supply has been restored while the operation control operation at the time of the power failure is performed, the power supply from the spare battery 21 to the elevator 10 is stopped.

  According to the first embodiment described above, since the power is supplied to the fire alarm from the spare battery of the elevator after a predetermined time has elapsed since the occurrence of a power failure, the capacity of the internal battery of the fire alarm is depleted. Thus, it is possible to avoid the situation where the elevator continuously operates in a state where no fire can be detected, and to ensure the convenience and safety of the user. In addition, when the occurrence of a fire is detected during a power failure, the remaining capacity of the spare battery is monitored, and when the remaining capacity is sufficient, the car can travel to the evacuation floor at a speed faster than the speed of normal operation during a power failure. The user can be quickly moved to the evacuation floor.

Since it is the same as that of the system 1, a detailed description of parts having the same function is omitted.

  In the present embodiment, the standby power supply control unit 113 receives the power failure occurrence notification from the power failure monitoring unit 112 and starts power supply from the standby battery 21 to the elevator 10, and then measured by the second remaining capacity measurement unit 117. When it is detected that the remaining capacity of the internal battery 32 has become equal to or less than a predetermined value set in advance, the supply of electricity from the spare battery 21 to the fire alarm 30 is started.

  When the standby power supply control unit 113 receives a notification of the occurrence of a power failure, power supply from the standby battery 21 to the elevator 10 is started (S32).

  When the supply of power from the spare battery 21 to the elevator 10 is started, it is determined whether or not the remaining capacity of the internal battery 32 measured by the second remaining capacity measuring unit 117 is equal to or less than a predetermined value set in advance ( S33).

  When it is detected that the remaining capacity of the internal battery 32 is less than the predetermined value and is approaching a state where power cannot be supplied (“YES” in S33), the standby power supply control unit 113 causes the continuous operation device 20 during power failure to be Power supply from the spare battery 21 to the fire alarm 30 is started (S34).

  If the power failure monitoring unit 112 detects that the commercial power supply has been restored while the discharge control operation during the power failure is performed, the power supply from the spare battery 21 to the elevator 10 and the fire alarm 30 is stopped. Is done.

  According to the present embodiment described above, the remaining capacity of the internal battery of the fire alarm is monitored at the time of a power failure, so that even if the internal battery deteriorates and the power supply duration decreases, it is necessary without being affected by this. Accordingly, it is possible to supply power to the fire alarm from the spare battery of the elevator, avoiding the situation where the elevator continues to operate in a state where no fire can be detected, and ensuring the convenience and safety of the user with high accuracy. Can do.
