  Hereinafter, an elevator according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 6. In the drawings, the same portions are denoted by the same reference numerals, and redundant description is omitted.

  FIG. 1 is a configuration diagram of an elevator according to an embodiment of the present invention. The elevator according to the present embodiment is a RFID tag 11 (wireless medium) attached to a patient admitted to a ward 10 having a plurality of floors, a bed, and accompanying equipment associated with a serious person such as a device and equipment that cannot be removed during evacuation. A plurality of cars 12 that each patient gets on and off and moves up and down the hoistway in the ward 10; a plurality of operation control units 13 that respectively control the raising and lowering of the car 12; the degree of symptoms of each patient; RFID reader 15 provided for each floor for reading the tag ID (unique information) from each RFID tag 11 of the patient and the accompanying equipment (Wireless reader), a calculation unit 17 provided in the monitoring room 16, and a group management control unit 18.

  The severely ill person means a subject who needs to bring one or both of the bed and the treatment device into the car 12 at the time of evacuation and a subject who needs a passenger in the car 12 at the time of evacuation. Severe people include those who evacuate in wheelchairs. Ancillary equipment refers to a bed, a wheelchair, and a treatment device, and includes medical devices and equipment used that must be constantly worn by the patient.

  Examples of severely ill people include those with high severity, those who have just undergone surgery, those who are healthy, but who need to rest on the bed due to fractures, etc. The person who is receiving an instillation or the like near the infusion table, the person who cannot move by a bedside dialysis device or a tube for circulating a liquid, and the like. Examples of treatment devices include monitoring devices such as heart rate, respiratory rate, body temperature and blood pressure, blood and dialysate catheter transport circuits, pumps, cylinders, medical carts, injection preparation tables and infusion tables, etc. .

  The RFID tag 11 has an IC chip having a memory in which a tag ID is recorded in advance and an antenna. The IC chip generates power from radio waves received by the antenna, modulates a carrier wave with tag ID data read from the memory, and transmits a radio signal from the antenna. The RFID tag 11 is embedded in a portable item such as a wristband of each patient. The RFID tag 11 is also attached in advance to the associated equipment.

  Each car 12 has a floor area that is larger than the floor area of a normal size car room. The dimensions of the car room entrance and the car room depth have such a size that a nurse, an inspection engineer or an attendant can enter the car room even when the associated equipment is carried into the car room. Each car 12 has a plurality of beds on which a patient is placed, a plurality of treatment devices, and a load capacity that allows a plurality of people to ride at the same time.

  The car 12 includes a detector 19 for detecting the current car floor occupation area and a load detector 20 for detecting the current load weight. The detector 19 is, for example, a person using a plurality of sheets embedded under a unit piece divided into a plurality of car floors, piezoelectric elements in the sheets, and pressure changes applied to these piezoelectric elements, A CPU and a memory for calculating the area of the car floor occupied by the bed and the treatment device are provided. Each car 12 notifies the operation control unit 13 of the current car floor occupation area and the current load weight through a signal cable 21.

  Each operation control unit 13 outputs operation information including the current car floor occupation area and the current load weight for each car 12. These operation control units 13 switch the elevator operation of all the units between normal operation and evacuation operation.

  The database 14 stores data in which the area and weight of the serious person evacuated by the car 12 and the floor area and weight of the associated equipment are associated with each other during the evacuation operation by the operation control unit 13. This database 14 stores a list of severely evacuated persons using the car 12 and the floor area and weight of beds and treatment equipment necessary for each seriously evacuated person. Specifically, the database 14 correlates the floor area and body weight occupied by the person, the necessary bed floor area and bed weight, and the necessary floor area of the treatment equipment and the weight of the treatment equipment for one serious person. Retain data. The database 14 is generated by extracting necessary data from an electronic medical record database installed in advance in the hospital. The database 14 is updated daily with the patient's symptoms such as whether or not he / she can walk, the progress status in the treatment plan, and the contents of the treatment device which cannot be removed from the patient for measurement or examination.

  The RFID reader 15 on each floor is a tag reader that reads and outputs a tag ID from the RFID tag 11 by wireless communication. The RFID reader 15 reads tag IDs from all RFID tags 11 attached to a patient, a bed, and a treatment device.

  FIG. 2 is a diagram showing a floor plan on the n-th floor of the ward in which the elevator according to the present embodiment is installed. 30 represents a hoistway space. Reference numeral 34 denotes a notification device. The above described symbols represent the same elements. The RFID reader 15 is provided at a high position in the elevator hall 22. On the nth floor, among all the patients, those who can walk by themselves without a bed or treatment equipment use the emergency staircase 25 from any hospital room 23 through the passage 24 during evacuation. When the bed on which a serious person is placed is brought to the elevator hall 22 with a treatment device by a nurse, a laboratory technician or an attendant, the RFID reader 15 receives a tag ID from the RFID tag 11 of the patient, the bed, and the treatment device. Is read. The RFID reader 15 transmits the read data including the tag ID to the calculation unit 17 by the intra-wall wiring 26. The example of other floors where the car 12 stops during the evacuation operation is substantially the same as the example of FIG. A plurality of RFID readers 15 may be provided on each floor.

  The computing unit 17 in FIG. 1 searches the database 14 by the tag ID output by each RFID reader 15, and calculates the sum of the critical person's personal area, the bed floor area, and the equipment floor area corresponding to the tag ID, The sum of the bed weight and the equipment weight is obtained, and a call including the total area and total weight to be loaded on the car 12 is registered for each floor. A call means waiting data held in a memory and waiting for processing.

  The calculation unit 17 calculates the car floor occupation area per person by summing up the floor areas of the human body, bed, and treatment device for one serious person. The calculation unit 17 calculates the weight per person by adding up the body weight, bed weight, and treatment equipment weight for the same seriously ill person. The calculation unit 17 adds up the floor area and the weight for all serious persons on the first floor and obtains the necessary floor area and the necessary weight per first floor. The calculating part 17 calculates | requires a required floor area and a required weight about all the floors. The computing unit 17 has a first table 27. The calculation unit 17 registers calls (waiting data) including the calculated total floor area and total weight in the first table 27. The arithmetic unit 17 holds in advance the prescribed values for the floor area and weight of each car 12. The specified value refers to an allowable value or a rated value.

  The group management control unit 18 allocates a vehicle according to the call from the calculation unit 17 and the operation information from each operation control unit 13. The group management control unit 18 has a second table 32. The second table 32 holds the current car floor occupation area and the current load weight of all the cars 12. The operation information includes the current position of the car 12, information indicating ascending, descending, and stopping, information indicating the destination floor, the current car floor occupation area, and the current loading weight. The group management control unit 18 generates the second table 32 from the operation information from all the operation control units 13. The group management control unit 18 has a third table 33 that stores the floor area for each car 12 and the prescribed values of the loaded weight.

  The group management control unit 18 adds the current car floor occupation area and the current load weight to the total floor area and the total weight in the first table 27, respectively. The group management control unit 18 selects one of the cars 12 based on the addition result, the specified floor area, and the specified weight. For example, the group management control unit 18 performs control so that the car 12 having a large vacant space is preferentially directed to the hospitalized floor of a patient having a high severity.

  The functions of the calculation unit 17 and the group management control unit 18 are executed by the CPU, ROM, and RAM. These calculation unit 17 and group management control unit 18 are implemented as one function of the control means 28. The control means 28 is an elevator control panel. The monitoring room 16 is provided with a setting device 29 for managers. The setting device 29 is a switch on the monitoring panel, for example. The setting device 29 instructs the group management control unit 18 to start the evacuation operation by the operation of the administrator. The group management control unit 18 causes a plurality of cars 12 to respond to all floors in response to a call during normal operation, and performs selective assignment of the cars 12 during evacuation operation.

  The elevator according to the present embodiment having the above-described configuration performs normal operation. The call registration device 31 in the elevator hall 22 on the nth floor receives an operation of pressing the up / down direction button. When the hall call from the nth floor is input, the group management control unit 18 determines whether the car call is made by the destination button in each car 12 and the car position of each car 12 in the hoistway space 30. Performs operations for car allocation evaluation. The group management control unit 18 performs a calculation to assign the hall call generated by the evaluation calculation to the elevator that can land on the nth floor in the shortest time. The group management control unit 18 puts the elevators of the plurality of units into service at the same time.

  One or a plurality of RFID readers 18 installed on each floor notify the received tag ID to a pre-installed hospital system different from the elevator system. The in-hospital system confirms that each treatment device is arranged near the patient and the bed by monitoring the tag ID in the treatment plan. The in-hospital system records the movement history of the patient to prevent the patient from falling down in the ward 10 and to prevent wrinkles and the like.

  During normal operation, the in-hospital system confirms which point the patient has passed through at what point by the tag ID read by the RFID reader 18 and the electronic medical record database. It functions as a passing gate. The hospital terminal extracts necessary data from the electronic medical record database, and updates the database 14 as needed. This terminal stores data such as the severity of the patient in the database 14, whether or not the patient can evacuate without being on the bed, and the patient's treatment plan (equipment that cannot be removed during evacuation).

  As an example, the terminal updates the database 14 at a fixed time in the morning. A patient who had registered that there were multiple monitor devices, liquid circulation devices, gas cylinders, carts, infusion stands, etc. around a semi-double size bed until the morning of the previous day was moved to a separate room the afternoon of the previous day. Suppose you change to a single-size bed and follow up. Such changes in patient symptoms and the like are reflected in the database 14 by this morning update. A database of situations such as being treated as mild by a serious person, vice versa, recovered to a state where it was possible to evacuate using emergency staircase 25, or still needing to evacuate using an elevator in bed 14 is updated each time. The frequency of update can be changed each time.

  The above is the explanation during normal operation. In the following, the process of selecting treatment equipment to be carried with the patient during evacuation operation will be described.

  A fire detector detects a fire in the ward 10. The in-hospital system notifies the fire by audio broadcasting. The control means 28 causes the notification device 34 to display information for prompting the person who can walk to use the emergency staircase. Mild people walk to the evacuation floor using emergency stairs 25. The RFID reader 15 sends the RFID tag 11 of the patient who can walk to the in-hospital system, and the in-hospital system knows that the patient has evacuated on the emergency staircase 25.

  In addition, a nurse, a laboratory technician, or an attendant carries out a severely ill person from the hospital room 23 to the elevator hall 22 together with necessary treatment equipment while being placed on the bed. The RFID reader 15 sends the RFID tag 11 of the severely ill person to the in-hospital system, and the in-hospital system knows that the strict person is waiting in the elevator hall 22 on the nth floor.

  FIG. 3 is a flowchart for explaining the process of associating a seriously ill person with a treatment device. The calculation part 17 performs the flow of FIG.

  In step A <b> 1, the calculation unit 17 determines whether or not the evacuation operation is performed based on the setting value of the setting device 29. While the set value is not a value indicating the evacuation operation, the calculation unit 17 passes through the N route and continues the normal operation in Step A2.

  On the elevator side, the setter 29 switches the set value to the evacuation operation by the operation of the administrator. If the set value is a value indicating evacuation operation in step A1, the route passes through the Y route. In step A3, the calculation unit 17 starts processing to start the evacuation operation of the elevator. The operation control unit 13 stops accepting calls from the elevator hall 22.

  FIG. 4A is a diagram showing a range of repeated calculations by the calculation unit 17. The calculation range is substantially the same as the floor where the RFID reader 15 is installed. In step A3, the arithmetic unit 17 sets the repetition variable i representing the floor to j (j = N, N−1...; N represents the top floor), and in step A4, substitutes the initial value N for j. To do. In step A5, the calculation unit 17 reads on the memory whether or not there is data input from the RFID tag 11. In step A6, the calculation unit 17 determines whether data exists.

  In this step A6, for example, the control means 28 confirms whether or not the wireless data from the RFID tag 11 is input to the RFID reader 15 in the elevator hall 22 on the Nth floor. The RFID reader 15 installed on each floor monitors whether or not a signal from the RFID tag 11 having a large communication distance is received. When the RFID reader 15 detects wireless data, it sends the input tag ID to the control means 28.

  If the arithmetic unit 17 determines that there is wireless data in step A6, the route passes through the Y route, and in step A7, the arithmetic unit 17 performs human data indicating a serious person corresponding to the detected tag ID, and a bed indicating a bed or a treatment device.・ Processing to associate device data with RAM.

  FIG. 4B is a diagram showing an example of a storage area of association data between human data and bed / equipment data in the database 14. When the RFID reader 15 receives the two tag IDs of the patients A and C, the arithmetic unit 17 connects the patient A and the bed. The calculating part 17 connects the patient C, a wheelchair, and infusion.

  Subsequently, in step A8, the calculation unit 17 calculates the floor occupied area and the weight of each patient A and C.

  FIG. 4C is a diagram illustrating an example of a basic information storage area in the database 14. FIG. 4D is a diagram showing an example of a basic information storage area in the database 14. Assuming that the processes for the two tag IDs of patients A and C are processes (1) and (2), the computing unit 17 specifically performs processes (1) and (2) as follows.

(1) For the association between the patient A and the bed, the calculation unit 17 reads the weight of the patient A and the area occupied by the patient A himself / herself, and reads the weight of the bed and the occupied area of the bed. The calculation unit 17 adds up the body weight and bed weight of the patient A. The calculation unit 17 adds up the person area and the bed occupation area.

(2) For the association between the patient C and the wheelchair and the drip, the calculation unit 17 reads the weight of the patient C and the area occupied by the patient C, and the weight of the wheelchair and the drip stand, and the wheelchair and the drip Read the occupied area of each table. The calculating part 17 adds up the weight of the patient C, the apparatus weight of a wheelchair, and a drip stand. The calculation unit 17 adds up the person area, the wheelchair occupation area, and the drip stand occupation area.

  FIG. 4E shows an example of the first table 27. In the figure, (1) and (2) represent areas in which the results obtained by the processes (1) and (2) are registered. In subsequent step A <b> 9, the arithmetic unit 17 writes the call of the Nth floor in the first table 27. The calculation unit 17 writes the total weight and the total occupied area for the patient A in the first table 27. The calculation unit 17 writes the total weight and the total occupied area for the patient C in the first table 27.

  Next, in step A10, the arithmetic unit 17 decreases j by one. In step A11, the calculation unit 17 determines whether j is the lowest floor. While j does not reach the lowest floor, it passes through the N route, and the calculation unit 17 performs processing for the (N-1) th floor in step A5. Thereafter, the arithmetic unit 17 performs processing for the (N−2) -th floor. Thereafter, in step A11, the arithmetic unit 17 determines again whether j is the lowest floor. If j is the lowest floor, the operation unit 17 finishes the process through the Y route.

  If the calculation unit 17 determines that there is no wireless data in step A6, the calculation unit 17 decreases j by one in step A12 through the N route. In step A13, the arithmetic unit 17 determines whether j is the lowest floor. In step A13, while j does not reach the lowest floor, the calculation unit 17 proceeds to step A5 through the N route, and fetches data from the RFID reader 15 on the floor one floor below. If j is the lowest floor in step A13, the calculation unit 17 finishes the process through the Y route.

  In the example of FIG. 4 (e), an example is shown immediately after the total weight and total occupation area for the subject seriously ill person on the Nth floor are registered, but from the (N-1) th floor to the lowest floor. The calculation unit 17 registers the total weight and the total occupied area of the subject seriously ill person on each floor in the same manner as the processing on the Nth floor.

  FIG. 5 is a flowchart for explaining a process of determining whether or not the seriously ill person can get on the car 12 by the group management control unit 18.

  In step B1, the group management control unit 18 sets a repetitive variable k (k = 1, 2,..., The total number L of cars) representing the car number to an initial value 1.

  FIG. 6A shows an example of the second table 32. In step B <b> 2, the group management control unit 18 acquires, from the second table 32, in-car transportation information including the current load weight W and the current floor area A for the car 12 with the car number 1.

In step B3, the group management control unit 18 acquires the weight W ₁ scheduled to be loaded on the car 12 from the first table 27 in FIG. The CPU reads data from the top of the first table 27 after the group management control unit 18 starts the calculation according to the calculation program. As the weight W ₁ , the group management control unit 18 uses the sum of the total weight for the patient A obtained in the process (1) and the total weight for the patient C obtained in the process (2).

FIG. 6B is a diagram illustrating an example of the third table 33. In step B 4, the group management control unit 18 acquires the specified weight W ₀ from the third table 33. In step B5, the group management control unit 18 compares the total of the current loaded weight W and the scheduled weight W ₁ with the specified weight W ₀ .

If this total is equal to or less than the specified weight W ₀ , the group management control unit 18 passes the Y route, and in step B 6, the group management control unit 18 determines the occupation area A ₁ due to the load to be loaded on the car 12 from get. By reading the data from the head of the table, data on the Nth floor, which is the entrance floor of patients A and C, is acquired. As the occupied area A ₁ , the group management control unit 18 uses the sum of the total occupied area for the patient A and the total occupied area for the patient C. In step B <b> 7, the group management control unit 18 acquires the specified floor area A ₀ from the third table 33. In step B8, the group management control unit 18 compares the sum of the area occupied by A ₁ of the current floor area A and loading plan, a defined floor area A _0.

When this total is equal to or less than the prescribed floor area A ₀ , the group management control unit 18 passes the Y route and assigns a vehicle to the car 12 with the car number 1 in step B9. The group management control unit 18 directs the car 12 with the car number 1 to the Nth floor. In step B9, the control means 28 notifies the notification device 34 of the dispatch of the car number 1. When the car 12 reaches the Nth floor, the nurse carries the patient A into the car 12 while being placed on the bed. Furthermore, the nurse places the patient C on the wheelchair and carries it to the basket 12 together with the drip stand. The operation control unit 13 causes the car 12 carrying the patients A and C to travel to the evacuation floor. After the door opens, another nurse on the evacuation floor drops patients A and C. Thereafter, the operation control unit 13 drives the car 12 toward the next assigned floor.

Further, in the process of step B5, if the total weight W ₁ of the current load weight W and the loading plan exceeded the prescribed weight W _0, through the N route in step B10, the group management control unit 18, dispatch The car number of the car 12 requesting the car is changed, and a repetitive variable k representing the car number is incremented by one in step B11, and the process proceeds to step B2. When the car 12 with the car number 1 is not assigned, the group management control unit 18 executes the process from step B2 to step B8 for the car 12 with the car number 2.

  When the assignment of the car number 2 to the car 12 is confirmed, the group management control unit 18 performs the process of step B9. When the car 12 with the car number 2 is not assigned, the group management control unit 18 repeats the process for the car 12 with the car number 2. Thereafter, the group management control unit 18 repeats the process until the variable k representing the car number reaches the total number L of cars. When the assignment is fixed to any car number, the process ends. If all the car numbers cannot be determined, the group management control unit 18 waits for a while, for example. The control means 28 displays a notice of standby on the notification device 34.

  According to the elevator according to the present embodiment, the car 12 can be preferentially directed toward the hospitalized floor of a patient with high severity by the association data in the database 14. It becomes possible to determine which car should be assigned to which floor. Transport efficiency can be improved by increasing transport capacity.

  Further, in the flowchart of FIG. 5, the group management control unit 18 may calculate the car floor occupation area and the loading weight according to the number of severely ill persons and the number of caregivers of each severely ill person. The group management control unit 18 calculates an empty space on the car floor according to the number of people who get on the car 12. In this calculation, the group management control unit 18 limits the number of other serious persons, nurses, etc. when the capacity is exceeded. Or you may make it the group management control part 18 place the serious person without a helper from another floor in an empty space.

  In addition, for an article other than a person, a bed, or an apparatus, the calculation unit 17 may add a floor occupation area or a loaded weight. The calculation unit 17 may execute a process of moving a large number of cars 12 or a process of increasing the frequency to the floor where the number of patients that cannot move using the emergency staircase 25 is large.

  In the elevator according to the conventional example, dispatch is performed using information such as information on the total number of people to evacuate and information on healthy persons or disabled persons. However, in the elevator according to the present embodiment, the calculation unit 17 is configured such as a bed or a treatment device. Since calculations are performed using data, elevator allocation can be performed efficiently. Moreover, the elevator may cause the notification device 34 to display or announce the bed priority to the car 12 on which the bed or the like is to be placed first in response to the call received by the RFID data.

  Note that the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment as it is, and can be embodied by modifying the constituent elements without departing from the scope of the invention in the implementation stage. The RFID reader 15 may be installed in the car 12.

  In the above-described embodiment, the database 14 may give priorities among severely ill people in advance. The group management control unit 18 dispatches the car 12 according to the priority order. Further, the database 14 may give priorities to therapeutic devices essential to the patient, such as a heart-lung machine and a respiratory apparatus.

  In addition, a nurse terminal can be carried by a nurse, a master station terminal can be installed in the ward 10, and a guidance instruction such as who or which floor has priority during evacuation can be transmitted and received wirelessly. The master station terminal reads the association data in the database 14 and wirelessly transmits it. By communicating between the slave terminal held by the nurse and the master station terminal, it is possible to send information on which patient is placed on which basket 12 to the slave terminal on the floor. Further, each handset terminal may receive room information of a severely ill person from the master station terminal and display guidance instruction information for the severely ill person. The slave terminal extracts the ID data from the guidance instruction information received from the master station terminal. The nurse sends necessary information such as blood pressure, body temperature, degree of symptom, etc. of the subject seriously ill patient using the handset terminal to the master station terminal. Information about a patient who can walk, which emergency staircase 25 should be used, or a useful announcement or display may be notified to the elevator hall 22 through communication between the slave terminal and the master station terminal.

  In addition, various inventions can be formed by appropriately combining a plurality of components disclosed in the embodiment. For example, some components may be deleted from all the components shown in the embodiment.
