Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2007-246183

In the elevator of Patent Document 1, property damage may occur due to seismic motion. In the event of property damage, it may take some time to complete the post-earthquake response due to the arrangement of the target goods. In this case, the elevator that has been damaged by first aid may be temporarily restored. At this time, information on the restoration of the elevator may be sent to the monitoring center. Here, if it is processed that the post-earthquake response of the elevator is completed by receiving the restoration information, there is a possibility that the post-earthquake response may be leaked.

The present disclosure relates to the solution of such a problem. The present disclosure provides a management system in which leakage does not easily occur in post-earthquake response even when property damage occurs in an elevator.

The elevator management system according to the present disclosure receives response information to an earthquake motion from at least one of a plurality of elevators, and response information indicating restoration from the response of the elevator that responded to the earthquake motion among the plurality of elevators. The reception unit, the operation information reception unit that accepts the input operation of property damage information for any of the plurality of elevators from the maintenance terminal operated by the maintenance staff, and the operation information reception unit that manages the response after the earthquake for at least one of the plurality of elevators. The management target list is stored, and the elevator that issued the response information among the plurality of elevators when the response information receiving unit receives the response information is registered in the management target list and registered in the management target list. When the operation information reception unit accepts an operation for inputting property damage information for any of the elevators, the property damage information is associated with the elevator and registered in the management target list, and is registered in the management target list. When the response information reception unit receives the recovery information of the elevator, if the unrecovered property damage of the elevator is not registered in the management target list, the post-earthquake response in the management target list of the elevator is completed. The elevator is provided with a list management unit that suspends the completion of post-earthquake response in the managed list for the elevator when unrecovered property damage is registered in the managed list.

According to the management system according to the present disclosure, even if property damage occurs in the elevator, leakage does not easily occur in the response after the earthquake.

The main rope 5 moves so as to pull up one side of the sheave of the hoisting machine 4 by the driving force generated by the motor of the hoisting machine 4.

The car 6 is a device that transports passengers and the like of the elevator 2 between a plurality of floors by traveling in the hoistway 3 in the vertical direction. A communication device 10 is provided inside the car 6. The communication device 10 is, for example, an intercom or a telephone 17. The counterweight 7 is a device that balances the load on the other side of the sheave of the hoisting machine 4 with respect to the load of the car 6 applied to one side of the sheave of the hoisting machine 4. The car 6 and the counterweight 7 travel on the hoistway 3 on opposite sides in the vertical direction as the main rope 5 is moved by the motor of the hoisting machine 4.

The seismic detector 8 is a device that detects seismic waves at a place where an elevator 2 is provided. The seismic detector 8 is arranged in, for example, a hoistway 3. Alternatively, if a machine room is provided, the seismic detector 8 may be arranged in the machine room.

The control panel 9 is a device that controls the operation of the elevator 2. The operation of the elevator 2 includes, for example, traveling of the car 6. The control panel 9 is arranged, for example, in the upper part or the lower part of the hoistway 3. Alternatively, when the machine room is provided, the control panel 9 may be arranged in the machine room. The control panel 9 is connected to equipment of the elevator 2 or the like so that information on the state of the elevator 2 used for controlling the operation of the elevator 2 can be acquired. The control panel 9 acquires information on the state of the elevator 2 from, for example, a sensor or a switch provided in the car 6, the hoisting machine 4, the hoistway 3, or the like of the elevator 2. The control panel 9 acquires seismic wave detection information from the seismic detector 8.

The control panel 9 responds to the seismic motion based on the seismic wave detection information acquired from the seismic detector 8.

In the elevator system 1, the management system 12 is applied. The management system 12 is a system that manages a plurality of elevators 2 in the elevator system 1. The management system 12 includes a central management device 13, a work management device 14, and a response management device 15.

The central management device 13 is a device for remotely monitoring each elevator 2. The central management device 13 is arranged in, for example, an information center 16. The information center 16 is a base for collecting information on a plurality of elevators 2. The central management device 13 is, for example, one or a plurality of server devices. The central management device 13 is connected from each remote monitoring device 11 through, for example, an intranet of a maintenance company that operates the management system 12 so that the state of each elevator 2 during normal operation can be communicated. The central management device 13 is equipped with a function of receiving notification information about each elevator 2. The report about each elevator 2 includes, for example, a report by voice call from a passenger or an administrator of the elevator 2. The notification by voice call is made through a telephone such as a mobile phone or a landline telephone used by a passenger or an administrator of the elevator 2, for example. Alternatively, the notification by voice call may be made through the intercom, for example, when the communication device 10 provided in the car 6 of the elevator 2 is an intercom. The information of the report by voice call is input to the central management device 13 by, for example, the operator who received the report.

The work management device 14 is a device that manages maintenance work such as inspection, maintenance, or repair performed in each elevator 2. The work management device 14 is an example of the work management unit. The work management device 14 manages, for example, the schedule of maintenance work and the implementation status of maintenance work. The work management device 14 is arranged in, for example, an information center 16. The work management device 14 is, for example, one or a plurality of server devices. The work management device 14 receives input of a maintenance work schedule from, for example, a maintenance terminal 18 possessed by a maintenance worker. Here, the maintenance terminal 18 is a portable information terminal such as a smartphone. The maintenance terminal 18 may be a general-purpose computer or the like arranged at a business office of a maintenance company where maintenance personnel work. The work management device 14 is connected from the maintenance terminal 18 through, for example, an intranet of a maintenance company. Further, the work management device 14 receives input of a work report indicating the start of maintenance work from the maintenance terminal 18 or the like. Further, the work management device 14 receives an input of a work completion notification indicating the completion of the maintenance work from the maintenance terminal 18 or the like. The work management device 14 is connected to the central management device 13 through, for example, an intranet of a maintenance company so that information on the maintenance work being managed can be shared.

The response management device 15 is a device that manages the response status after the earthquake for each of the elevators 2 provided in the area where the seismic motion due to the earthquake has occurred. The correspondence management device 15 is arranged in, for example, an information center 16. The correspondence management device 15 is, for example, one or a plurality of server devices. The central management device 13 is connected from each remote monitoring device 11 through, for example, an intranet of a maintenance company so that information such as response to the earthquake motion of each elevator 2 can be communicated. The response management device 15 is connected to the central management device 13 through, for example, an intranet of a maintenance company so that information on the managed response status can be shared. The response management device 15 is connected to a communication network such as the Internet or a telephone line network so that information from the external service 19 can be received. The external service 19 is, for example, an external service of the management system 12 that distributes earthquake information. The external service 19 is provided by a public institution such as the Japan Meteorological Agency in Japan or a similar institution in another country, or a private institution.

The response management device 15 includes an earthquake information reception unit 20, a response information reception unit 21, a work determination unit 22, an operation information reception unit 23, a management information reception unit 24, a list management unit 25, and a reference storage unit 26. A totaling unit 27, a presentation unit 28, and an inquiry unit 29 are provided.

The earthquake information reception unit 20 is a part that receives earthquake information from the external service 19. The earthquake information reception unit 20 receives earthquake information about an area where at least one of the plurality of elevators 2 is provided from the external service 19. Earthquake information is delivered from the external service 19 when an earthquake occurs. The seismic information includes information such as the area where the seismic motion occurred, the time when the seismic motion occurred, and the magnitude of the seismic motion that occurred. The magnitude of the seismic motion includes, for example, information on the seismic intensity class. The seismic information may include information on the earthquake that caused the seismic motion. Includes information such as when the quake occurred, the epicenter of the quake, and the magnitude of the quake. The magnitude of the earthquake includes, for example, magnitude information.

The response information receiving unit 21 is a part that receives response information to the seismic motion of the elevator 2 from each remote monitoring device 11. The response information includes information that identifies the elevator 2. The information that identifies the elevator 2 is, for example, information such as the building number of the building in which the elevator 2 is provided, the unit number of the elevator 2 that is uniquely set in the building, and the like. The response information includes information such as whether or not there is a response to seismic motion.

The work determination unit 22 is a part that determines maintenance work information for the elevator 2 that has issued the response information when the response information reception unit 21 receives the response information. The work determination unit 22 makes a determination with reference to information managed by the work management unit such as the work management device 14, for example. The work determination unit 22 may refer to the work management device 14 through, for example, the central management device 13. The work determination unit 22 determines, for example, whether the time when the response information is received is the time when the maintenance work is scheduled for the elevator 2 that issued the response information. Alternatively, the work determination unit 22 determines, for example, when the response information is received, whether maintenance work is being performed in the elevator 2 that issued the response information.

The operation information receiving unit 23 is a part that receives operations by maintenance personnel through the maintenance terminal 18. The operation received by the operation information receiving unit 23 includes, for example, an operation of changing settings in the management system 12. The operation received by the operation information receiving unit 23 includes, for example, an operation of inputting information about a response status after an earthquake.

The management information receiving unit 24 is a part that receives information from the central management device 13. The information received by the management information receiving unit 24 includes, for example, information notified from the central management device 13, information requested to the central management device 13, and the like. The information received by the management information receiving unit 24 may include information from, for example, the work management device 14 relayed by the central management device 13.

The list management unit 25 is a part that manages the managed list. The management target list is information used for managing the post-earthquake response for each of the elevators 2 provided in the area where the earthquake motion occurred. In this example, the managed list is stored in the list management unit 25. The list management unit 25 registers, among the plurality of elevators 2, the elevator 2 that needs to be managed after an earthquake as a management target. The list management unit 25 registers the post-earthquake response information in the managed list in association with the elevator 2.

When the response information receiving unit 21 receives the response information, the list management unit 25 deterministically registers the elevator 2 that has transmitted the response information in the management target list as a management target. When the earthquake information receiving unit 20 receives the earthquake information, the list management unit 25 determines whether the magnitude of the seismic motion generated in the area where each elevator 2 is provided is larger than the preset magnitude. The list management unit 25 provisionally registers each of the one or more elevators 2 provided in the area determined to be larger than the preset scale as a management target in the management target list. Here, the definite registration in the management target list is maintained as a response history even after the response after the earthquake in the plurality of elevators 2 is completed. In addition, provisional registration to the management target list is processed such as whether to shift to definitive registration or to cancel registration by the time the post-earthquake response in the plurality of elevators 2 is completed. .. In the managed list, the deterministically registered elevator 2 and the provisionally registered elevator 2 are treated in the same manner as the elevator 2 registered in the managed list.

The list management unit 25 skips the provisional registration process based on the seismic information of the seismic motion so that duplicate registration is not performed for the elevator 2 that has already been deterministically registered by the response information to the seismic motion. You may. In this example, the magnitude of the seismic motion, which is the reference value for provisional registration, is set individually for each elevator 2. The magnitude of the seismic motion, which is the reference value for provisional registration, may be common to all elevators 2 or may be set for each region.

The reference storage unit 26 is a portion that stores a set value of the magnitude of the seismic motion as a reference value for provisionally registering each elevator 2. The set value of the magnitude of the seismic motion is specified by, for example, the seismic standard to which the elevator 2 complies. According to the seismic standard specified here, information on the magnitude of seismic motion such as the seismic intensity class, which is the standard value for provisional registration in the management target list, is set. The reference storage unit 26 stores a reference value of the magnitude of the seismic motion set in this way.

The aggregation unit 27 is a portion that aggregates the elevators 2 registered in the management target list. The totaling unit 27 totals, for example, for each preset area. The area used for aggregation by the aggregation unit 27 may be different from the area represented by the earthquake information from the external service 19. For example, the tabulation unit 27 totals the number of elevators 2 registered in the management target list and the number of elevators 2 for which the response after the earthquake has been completed for each area. Further, the tabulation unit 27 totals, for example, the number of confinements that occurred in the elevator 2 registered in the management target list and the number of confinements for which rescue was completed for each area.

The presentation unit 28 is a part that transmits information representing a management target list to the maintenance terminal 18 as a response to a display request transmitted from the maintenance terminal 18. The presentation unit 28 may also transmit the result of aggregation by the aggregation unit 27 to the maintenance terminal 18. The maintenance terminal 18 displays the information transmitted from the management target list to the maintenance personnel.

The inquiry unit 29 is a part that inquires about the operating state of the elevator 2 provisionally registered in the management target list. The inquiry unit 29 inquires about the operating state when, for example, a preset time elapses after the earthquake information reception unit 20 receives the earthquake information. For example, the inquiry unit 29 may inquire about the operating state every time a preset time elapses after the earthquake information reception unit 20 receives the earthquake information. The timing at which the inquiry unit 29 inquires about the operating state may be different for each elevator 2. The inquiry unit 29 transmits a polling signal to, for example, the remote monitoring device 11 as an inquiry signal. At this time, the inquiry unit 29 receives information on the operating state of the elevator 2 from the remote monitoring device 11 that has received the polling signal.

Based on the result of the inquiry by the inquiry unit 29, the list management unit 25 determines the provisional registration of the elevator 2 in the state of responding to the seismic motion to the management target list as a definitive registration. The elevator 2 in a state of responding to seismic motion includes, for example, an elevator 2 that is performing control operation, an elevator 2 that is continuously suspended, and the like. Since such an elevator 2 responds to earthquake motion, it is subject to post-earthquake response by maintenance personnel and the like. Further, based on the result of the inquiry of the inquiry unit 29, the list management unit 25 cancels the provisional registration of the elevator 2 in the normal operation state to the management target list. Since such an elevator 2 continues normal operation without responding to earthquake motion, it is not subject to post-earthquake response by maintenance personnel or the like. The list management unit 25 maintains provisional registration in the management target list for the elevator 2 whose state is unknown, such as the elevator 2 for which a response to the inquiry of the inquiry unit 29 cannot be obtained. The inquiry unit 29 may make an inquiry again about the elevator 2 after a preset time has elapsed.

FIG. 2 is a diagram showing an example of display in the maintenance terminal 18 according to the first embodiment.
FIG. 2 shows an example of a setting change screen in the management system 12.

The maintenance staff specifies the seismic standards to which the elevator 2 complies for each elevator 2. In this example, seismic standards established by a public institution in 2009 are specified. The information specified here is stored in the reference storage unit 26. Further, the maintenance staff may input the information of the set value of the seismic detector 8 provided in the elevator 2 together for each elevator 2. In the seismic detector 8 of this example, a two-step value of a low gull value and a high gull value is set as a threshold value for seismic wave detection. In this example, 150 gal is set as the low gal value. Further, 200 gal is set as a high gal value.

Subsequently, an example of the operation of the management system 12 will be described with reference to FIGS. 3 to 8.
3 and 6 are flowcharts showing an example of the operation of the management system 12 according to the first embodiment.
4, FIG. 5, FIG. 7, and FIG. 8 are diagrams showing an example of display in the maintenance terminal 18 according to the first embodiment.

FIG. 3 shows an example of processing of the management system 12 related to registration in the management target list.

When no earthquake has occurred, each elevator 2 is in normal operation. Information on the elevator 2 during normal operation is collected in the remote monitoring device 11 through the control panel 9 and the like. The remote monitoring device 11 transmits the collected information to, for example, the central management device 13. The central management device 13 stores the information transmitted from the remote monitoring device 11. At the information center 16, remote monitoring of each elevator 2 is performed based on the accumulated information.

Maintenance work or the like may be performed in any of the elevators 2 when no earthquake has occurred. The maintenance work is performed according to the schedule managed by the work management device 14. When the maintenance staff starts the maintenance work, the maintenance staff inputs the work report through the maintenance terminal 18. The work management device 14 manages the state of the maintenance work performed by the maintenance staff as being carried out by the input operation of the work notification from the maintenance staff. When the maintenance work is completed, the maintenance staff performs an operation of inputting a work completion notification through the maintenance terminal 18. The work management device 14 manages the state of the maintenance work performed by the maintenance staff as work completion by inputting the work completion notification from the maintenance staff.

On the other hand, when an earthquake occurs, seismic motion may occur in the area where any of the elevators 2 is provided. At this time, the seismic detector 8 of a part or all of the elevator 2 provided in the area senses the seismic wave due to the earthquake. The elevator 2 in which the seismic detector 8 detects a seismic wave responds to seismic motion such as control operation or suspension of operation. At this time, the remote monitoring device 11 of the elevator 2 transmits the response information indicating the response to the seismic motion to the response management device 15.

Further, when an earthquake occurs, the external service 19 distributes the earthquake information of the earthquake. The earthquake information reception unit 20 of the response management device 15 acquires the distributed earthquake information.

Here, when the scale of the earthquake that has occurred is large, a large number of elevators 2 over a wide area may start responding to the seismic motion at the same time. At this time, communication of response information indicating a response to a seismic motion from a large number of remote monitoring devices 11 may be concentrated in a short time. In this case, the response information transmitted from the remote monitoring device 11 may not reach the response management device 15. The remote monitoring device 11 that fails to transmit the response information retransmits the response information after a preset time has elapsed. However, if the concentration of communication is still not resolved, the retransmitted response information may not reach the response management device 15. In addition, the seismic motion may cause a failure in communication equipment or the like provided in the vicinity of the elevator 2. At this time, the transmission of the response information from the remote monitoring device 11 may fail.

In such a case, the response management device 15 may not be able to collect the response information from the elevator 2 that has responded to the seismic motion. Therefore, the response management device 15 manages the response after the earthquake, for example, by using the earthquake information acquired from the external service 19.

In step S101, the response information receiving unit 21 determines whether the response information has been received from any of the elevators 2. If the determination result is Yes, the process of the corresponding management device 15 proceeds to step S102. If the determination result is No, the process of the corresponding management device 15 proceeds to step S106.

In step S102, the list management unit 25 identifies the elevator 2 that has transmitted the response information based on the response information received by the response information reception unit 21. The list management unit 25 deterministically registers the specified elevator 2 in the management target list. At this time, the list management unit 25 registers the information indicating the status of the elevator 2 in the management target list in association with the elevator 2 based on the response information. Here, the information registered in the management target list corresponding to the elevator 2 is, for example, whether or not the elevator 2 is in normal operation, whether or not it is in diagnostic operation, and whether or not it is inactive. , Or information such as whether it has been restored. The information registered in the management target list may include information on whether or not the maintenance staff has confirmed the site of the restored elevator 2. After that, the process of the corresponding management device 15 proceeds to step S103.

In step S103, the work determination unit 22 refers to the work management device 14 and determines whether or not there is maintenance work for the elevator 2 specified based on the response information. For example, when the time when the response information is received is included in the time when the maintenance work is scheduled for the elevator 2, the work determination unit 22 determines that there is maintenance work for the elevator 2. Alternatively, the work determination unit 22 determines that there is maintenance work for the elevator 2 when, for example, maintenance work is being performed in the elevator 2 when response information is received. The work determination unit 22 is, for example, when the time when the response information is received is not included in the time when the maintenance work is scheduled for the elevator 2, and the maintenance work is not performed for the elevator 2 at the time. , It is determined that there is no maintenance work for the elevator 2. If the determination result of whether or not there is maintenance work is Yes, the process of the response management device 15 proceeds to step S105. If the determination result is No, the process of the corresponding management device 15 proceeds to step S104.

In step S104, the seismic information receiving unit 20 determines whether or not an earthquake motion larger than a preset size has occurred in the area where the elevator 2 specified based on the response information is provided. The earthquake information receiving unit 20 determines the presence or absence of an earthquake motion, for example, depending on whether or not the external service 19 receives earthquake information indicating that an earthquake motion larger than the reference value of the elevator 2 stored in the reference storage unit 26 has occurred. .. The earthquake information receiving unit 20 may determine, for example, the presence or absence of the earthquake information within a preset time range including the time when the response information is received. When the determination result of whether or not the earthquake motion has occurred is No, the processing of the response management device 15 proceeds to step S105. If the determination result is Yes, the process of the corresponding management device 15 proceeds to step S106.

In step S105, the list management unit 25 determines that the response information received by the response information reception unit 21 is an erroneous alarm. For example, when the list management unit 25 has maintenance work for the elevator 2 specified based on the response information, the list management unit 25 may make an erroneous report due to an erroneous contact with the seismic detector 8 by the maintenance staff during the maintenance work. Determine the response information. Alternatively, the list management unit 25 may cause a malfunction of the seismic detector 8 or other equipment, vibration caused by work in the vicinity of the elevator 2, or the like when no seismic motion has occurred in the area where the elevator 2 is provided. Judge the false alarm and the response information. At this time, the list management unit 25 cancels the registration of the elevator 2 in the management target list. After that, the process of the corresponding management device 15 proceeds to step S106.

In step S106, the earthquake information receiving unit 20 determines whether or not the earthquake information has been received from the external service 19. If the determination result is No, the process of the corresponding management device 15 proceeds to step S101. If the determination result is Yes, the process of the corresponding management device 15 proceeds to step S107.

In step S107, the list management unit 25 refers to the reference value of the seismic motion stored in the reference storage unit 26, and based on the received seismic information, the size of any elevator 2 exceeds the reference value. Determine if there is an area where earthquake motion has occurred. The list management unit 25 provisionally registers each of the elevators 2 in which the magnitude of the generated seismic motion exceeds the reference value in the management target list. After that, the process of the corresponding management device 15 proceeds to step S108.

In step S108, the inquiry unit 29 determines whether a preset time has elapsed since the earthquake information reception unit 20 received the earthquake information. Here, when the inquiry unit 29 has already made one or more inquiries, the inquiry unit 29 may determine whether a preset time has elapsed since the previous inquiry. When the determination result is No, the process of the corresponding management device 15 proceeds to step S108 again. If the determination result is Yes, the process of the corresponding management device 15 proceeds to step S109.

In step S109, the inquiry unit 29 inquires about the operating state of each of the elevators 2 provisionally registered in the management target list. After that, the process of the corresponding management device 15 proceeds to step S110.

In step S110, the inquiry unit 29 receives information on the operating state of the elevator 2 from the remote monitoring device 11 that has received the signal as a response to the signal of the inquiry. The list management unit 25 updates the managed list as follows, for example. The list management unit 25 makes provisional registration in the management target list a definitive registration for the elevator 2 which is found to be responding to the seismic motion by the inquiry of the inquiry unit 29. The list management unit 25 cancels the provisional registration of the elevator 2 found to be in normal operation by the inquiry of the inquiry unit 29 to the management target list. The list management unit 25 maintains the provisional registration of the elevator 2 whose state has not been determined by the inquiry of the inquiry unit 29 in the management target list. After that, the process of the corresponding management device 15 proceeds to step S108.

Using the management target list registered in this way, the maintenance staff responds to each elevator 2 after the earthquake. The maintenance staff transmits a display request for the management target list to the corresponding management device 15 through the maintenance terminal 18 possessed by the maintenance staff. As a response to the display request transmitted from the maintenance terminal 18, the presentation unit 28 transmits information representing the management target list managed by the list management unit 25 to the maintenance terminal 18. The maintenance terminal 18 displays the information of the management target list based on the information transmitted from the presentation unit 28.

FIG. 4 shows an example of displaying the information of the management target list in the maintenance terminal 18.

In this example, the maintenance terminal 18 displays each elevator 2 registered in the management target list by the card display. Each card corresponds to either elevator 2. In each card, information such as a building in which the corresponding elevator 2 is provided is displayed on the upper side. The information displayed on the upper side of the card is, for example, the name of the building or the building number. In each card, the information of the corresponding elevator 2 is displayed on the lower side. The information displayed on the lower side of the card includes, for example, the elevator 2 machine number. Further, the information displayed on the lower side of the card includes information on the state of the elevator 2 including the response status after the earthquake.

The presentation unit 28 transmits to the maintenance terminal 18 a management target list including information on both the deterministically registered elevator 2 and the provisionally registered elevator 2. The maintenance terminal 18 displays cards and the like for both the elevator 2 deterministically registered in the management target list and the elevator 2 provisionally registered. At this time, the maintenance terminal 18 displays information such as "registration (provisional)" on the card corresponding to the elevator 2 as the state of the elevator 2 provisionally registered.

Here, when the elevator 2 is suspended due to an earthquake motion or the like, the car 6 may stop between the floors of the building. At this time, the remote monitoring device 11 of the elevator 2 issues a report on the possibility that confinement has occurred. The alarm may be transmitted to the response management device 15 together with the response information. Further, the alarm may be transmitted without confirming the presence or absence of passengers in the car 6 stopped between the floors. At this time, the list management unit 25 registers in the management target list in association with the elevator 2 the information indicating that the confinement in which the presence or absence of passengers is unknown has occurred based on the notification from the elevator 2. do.

Further, when the elevator 2 is suspended due to an earthquake motion or the like, the passengers in the car 6 may be trapped. At this time, the passenger reports the confinement by voice communication through the communication device 10 provided in the car 6. The report is received by an operator, for example, at the information center 16. The operator who received the report inputs information indicating that the confinement in which it is confirmed that there are passengers has occurred to the central management device 13. The central management device 13 shares the input information by outputting it to the corresponding management device 15. The management information receiving unit 24 receives information to be shared with the central management device 13. At this time, the list management unit 25 corresponds to the elevator 2 with information indicating that confinement in which it is confirmed that there are passengers has occurred in the elevator 2 based on the information received by the management information reception unit 24. Also register in the managed list.

The presentation unit 28 transmits the information of the management target list to the maintenance terminal 18 that has transmitted the display request, including the information on the status of the elevator 2 registered in association with the elevator 2. The maintenance terminal 18 displays information on the state of the elevator 2 according to the information transmitted from the presentation unit 28. For example, the maintenance terminal 18 displays information such as "confinement (passenger unknown)" and "confinement (with passengers)" on the card of the elevator 2 in which confinement has occurred. Further, the maintenance terminal 18 displays information such as "operation suspension" on the card of the elevator 2 during operation suspension. Further, the maintenance terminal 18 displays information such as "diagnostic operation" on the card of the elevator 2 during the diagnostic operation. Further, the maintenance terminal 18 displays information such as "normal operation" on the card of the elevator 2 during normal operation. Further, the maintenance terminal 18 may display information such as "temporary restoration" on the card of the elevator 2 which has automatically restored the operation based on the result of the diagnostic operation but has not been confirmed on site by the maintenance staff.

In this example, the list management unit 25 registers information on the priority of post-earthquake response in the management target list for each of the elevators 2 registered in the management target list. The priority is set according to, for example, the state of each elevator 2. For example, when passengers are confined in the elevator 2, a high priority is set for the elevator 2. The priority may be set based on, for example, the attributes of each elevator 2 or the building in which the elevator 2 is provided, which are registered in advance in the management system 12. For example, when the building in which the elevator 2 is provided is a public facility such as a hospital, a preset value is added to the priority of the elevator 2.

The presentation unit 28 transmits the information of the management target list including the priority information to the maintenance terminal 18 that has transmitted the display request. The maintenance terminal 18 switches the color of the card corresponding to the elevator 2 or the presence / absence of highlighting such as a frame according to the priority of each elevator 2. As a result, the maintenance staff can easily grasp the elevator 2 having a high priority of response. The maintenance terminal 18 may rearrange and display the cards of each elevator 2 according to the priority.

Further, depending on the individual circumstances of each elevator 2, it may be necessary to manage the response after the earthquake even for the elevator 2 for which the response information is not issued. At this time, the maintenance staff may designate the elevator 2 that is not registered in the management target list as the elevator 2 that needs to be managed after the earthquake. The maintenance staff performs an operation of designating the elevator 2 through, for example, the maintenance terminal 18. The maintenance terminal 18 transmits the operation by the maintenance staff to the corresponding management device 15. The operation information reception unit 23 accepts operations by maintenance personnel. The list management unit 25 provisionally registers the elevator 2 designated by the operation information reception unit 23 in the management target list.

Further, when the elevator 2 is a home elevator or the like, a telephone may be provided as a communication device 10 inside the car 6. At this time, the contact information to the communication device 10 is registered in the management system 12. The contact information to the calling device 10 includes, for example, the telephone number of the line connected to the calling device 10. In this case, the presentation unit 28 transmits the contact information to the communication device 10 to the maintenance terminal 18 together with the information in the management target list. The maintenance terminal 18 displays the contact information for the communication device 10 on the lower side of the card corresponding to the elevator 2. Alternatively, the card may display a link or the like for transitioning to a screen on which the contact information is displayed. As a result, the maintenance staff can easily contact the inside of the car 6 of the elevator 2. Therefore, the maintenance staff can efficiently contact the inside of the car 6 to confirm whether or not the confinement has occurred.

The maintenance staff grasps the status of each of the elevators 2 registered in the management target list by displaying the maintenance terminal 18. As a result, the maintenance staff can voluntarily determine the elevator 2 to be headed to the site based on the information such as the position of the elevator 2 and the position and situation of each elevator 2. When there are a plurality of maintenance personnel in the vicinity, the plurality of maintenance personnel may contact each other and adjust the elevator 2 to which each of them should go to the site.

After arriving at the site of each elevator 2, the maintenance staff will take measures after the earthquake according to the situation of the elevator 2. Responses after the earthquake include confirmation of the current status of elevator 2. Post-earthquake response includes, for example, rescue of passengers in elevator 2 where confinement has occurred. Responses after an earthquake include, for example, restoration of an elevator 2 that has been suspended. Responses after the earthquake include, for example, on-site confirmation of the automatically restored elevator 2. Post-earthquake response includes, for example, response to inquiries or reminder from the administrator of the elevator 2 which is a customer, or customer response such as reporting maintenance work to the administrator.

The maintenance staff performs an operation of inputting the contents of the response to the elevator 2 as progress information through the maintenance terminal 18. In this example, the progress information includes information that identifies the elevator 2. Information identifying the elevator 2 is input, for example, by a maintenance person. Alternatively, the information that identifies the elevator 2 may be automatically loaded on the progress information based on the position information of the maintenance terminal 18. The maintenance terminal 18 transmits the operation by the maintenance staff to the corresponding management device 15. The operation information reception unit 23 accepts operations by maintenance personnel. The list management unit 25 identifies the elevator 2 corresponding to the progress information based on the progress information for which the input operation is accepted. The list management unit 25 registers the progress information in the management target list in association with the elevator 2. Here, the progress information includes, for example, confinement information, customer correspondence information, property damage information, and the like. The property damage information includes, for example, information such as the presence or absence of property damage, the target article for property damage, the arrangement status of the target article, and whether or not the response to the property damage is completed.

The list management unit 25 makes provisional registration in the management target list a definitive registration for the elevator 2 for which progress information has been input from the maintenance staff through the maintenance terminal 18. When the maintenance staff confirms that the elevator 2 provisionally registered in the management target list is operating normally, the maintenance personnel performs an operation of canceling the provisional registration of the elevator 2 through the maintenance terminal 18. You may go. At this time, the list management unit 25 cancels the provisional registration of the elevator 2 in the management target list.

FIG. 5 shows an example of display of the maintenance terminal 18 when progress information is input.
In FIG. 5, confinement information is input as progress information.

The maintenance staff inputs the arrival time of the elevator 2 where the confinement has occurred at the site. In addition, after the passengers are rescued by the elevator 2, the maintenance staff inputs information such as the rescue time, the number of rescued persons, the rescue classification, the rescue method, and the condition of the rescued passengers. The information input here is transmitted to the response management device 15 through the maintenance terminal 18 as progress information representing the confinement information.

When the response after the earthquake is completed in the elevator 2, the maintenance staff transmits the restoration information indicating the restoration of the elevator 2 to the response management device 15 through, for example, the remote monitoring device 11. In this example, the recovery information includes information that identifies the elevator 2.

In the response management device 15, the response information receiving unit 21 receives the recovery information. When the response information reception unit 21 receives the restoration information, the list management unit 25 processes the elevator 2 specified by the restoration information as the completion of the post-earthquake response in the management target list. The progress of the elevator 2 until the response after the earthquake is completed is registered in the management target list in association with the elevator 2 as a plurality of progress information and the like. The progress registered in the management target list can be confirmed on the maintenance terminal 18 by, for example, transmitting a display request from the maintenance terminal 18 to the corresponding management device 15. The response to the display request transmitted from the maintenance terminal 18 is transmitted from the presentation unit 28 to the maintenance terminal 18, for example, in the same manner as the information of the management target list itself.

FIG. 6 shows an example of processing of recovery information in the management system 12.

In step S201, the response information receiving unit 21 determines whether the restoration information has been received from any of the elevators 2. If the determination result is No, the process of the corresponding management device 15 proceeds to step S201 again. If the determination result is Yes, the process of the corresponding management device 15 proceeds to step S202.

In step S202, the list management unit 25 identifies the elevator 2 that has transmitted the restoration information based on the restoration information received by the response information reception unit 21. The list management unit 25 determines whether the specified elevator 2 is registered in the management target list. If the determination result is No, the process of the corresponding management device 15 proceeds to step S203. If the determination result is Yes, the process of the corresponding management device 15 proceeds to step S204.

In step S203, the list management unit 25 determines that the recovery information received by the response information reception unit 21 is a test issue or an unnecessary issue. The list management unit 25 stores the recovery information determined to be a test report or an unnecessary report outside the management target list. After that, the processing of the recovery information in the management system 12 ends.

Here, for example, due to a seismic motion due to an aftershock, response information to the seismic motion may be transmitted again from the elevator 2 that has been restored once. In such a case, the same elevator 2 may be registered in the target management list multiple times. When the elevator 2 specified based on the recovery information is registered in the target management list a plurality of times, the list management unit 25 performs the following processing for the recovery information to be the latest for the elevator 2. To register.

In step S204, the list management unit 25 determines whether the property damage information is registered in the target management list for the elevator 2 specified based on the recovery information. If the determination result is Yes, the process of the corresponding management device 15 proceeds to step S205. If the determination result is No, the process of the corresponding management device 15 proceeds to step S206.

In step S205, the list management unit 25 determines whether or not the response to the property damage has been completed for the elevator 2 specified based on the restoration information, based on the property damage information. If the determination result is Yes, the process of the corresponding management device 15 proceeds to step S206. If the determination result is No, the process of the corresponding management device 15 proceeds to step S208.

In step S206, the list management unit 25 determines whether the post-earthquake response has already been processed for the elevator 2 specified based on the restoration information. If the determination result is No, the process of the corresponding management device 15 proceeds to step S207. If the determination result is Yes, the process of the corresponding management device 15 proceeds to step S208.

In step S207, the list management unit 25 processes the elevator 2 specified based on the restoration information as the completion of the post-earthquake response in the management target list. After that, the processing of the recovery information in the management system 12 ends.

In step S208, the list management unit 25 registers the information indicating the reception of the restoration information in the management target list as the progress information in association with the elevator 2 specified based on the restoration information. When the post-earthquake response for the elevator 2 has already been completed, the list management unit 25 may register the progress information as reference information in the management target list. On the other hand, when the post-earthquake response for the elevator 2 is not completed, the list management unit 25 registers the progress information in the management target list without completing the post-earthquake response. After that, the processing of the recovery information in the management system 12 ends.

FIG. 7 shows an example of displaying the progress of the response after the earthquake.
The maintenance staff sends a progress display request to the response management device 15 through the maintenance terminal 18 so that the progress of the response after the earthquake can be grasped for each elevator 2. In this example, the progress display request includes information that identifies the elevator 2. When the presentation unit 28 receives the progress display request from the maintenance terminal 18, the presentation unit 28 identifies the elevator 2 based on the progress display request. The presentation unit 28 transmits the progress information registered in the management target list in association with the specified elevator 2 to the maintenance terminal 18 as a response to the progress display request. The maintenance terminal 18 displays progress information to maintenance personnel.

In this example, the response information receiving unit 21 receives the response information from the remote monitoring device 11 of the elevator 2 at time 07:59. At this time, the list management unit 25 registers the information representing the information source in the management target list in association with the elevator 2.

After that, the passengers are notified of the confinement through the communication device 10 in the car 6. The operator who received the report inputs the confinement information to the central management device 13 at time 08:05. The central management device 13 shares the input information by outputting it to the corresponding management device 15. The management information receiving unit 24 receives information to be shared with the central management device 13. The list management unit 25 registers information such as an ID (Identifier) that identifies an operator in the management target list as information representing an information source.

After that, the rescue is urged by the voice call from the passenger through the communication device 10 in the car 6. The operator who has received the reminder inputs information indicating that the reminder has been made to the central management device 13 at time 08:25. The central management device 13 shares the input information by outputting it to the corresponding management device 15. The management information receiving unit 24 receives information to be shared with the central management device 13. The list management unit 25 registers information such as an ID that identifies an operator in the management target list as information representing an information source.

After that, rescue personnel will rescue you from the confinement. The maintenance personnel who performed the rescue input the progress information indicating the completion of the rescue through the maintenance terminal 18 at time 08:45. The list management unit 25 registers information such as an ID that identifies a maintenance person in the management target list as information representing an information source.

In this way, since the progress information is registered in the management target list, the correspondence history can be easily confirmed through the maintenance terminal 18.

FIG. 8 shows an example of displaying the result of aggregation by the aggregation unit 27.
The maintenance staff sends an aggregation request to the response management device 15 through the maintenance terminal 18 so that the status of response after the earthquake can be grasped for the plurality of elevators 2 managed by the management system 12. When the aggregation unit 27 receives the aggregation request from the maintenance terminal 18, the aggregation unit 27 starts the aggregation processing of the elevator 2 registered in the management target list. The presentation unit 28 transmits information representing the result of aggregation by the aggregation unit 27 to the maintenance terminal 18 as a response to the aggregation request transmitted from the maintenance terminal 18. The maintenance terminal 18 displays the result of aggregation to the maintenance staff in the form of a list or the like.

In this example, the aggregation unit 27 aggregates preset areas such as area XXX, area YYY, and area ZZZ. The totaling unit 27 totals the number of elevators 2 that have been suspended and the number of elevators 2 that have been restored for each area. Further, the tabulation unit 27 totals, for example, the number of confinements that occurred in the elevator 2 registered in the management target list and the number of confinements for which rescue was completed for each area. At this time, the aggregation unit 27 aggregates each of the confinement in which the presence or absence of passengers is unknown and the confinement in which it is confirmed that there are passengers.

The maintenance terminal 18 displays the result of aggregation for each area by the aggregation unit 27 to the maintenance staff by a list. This will allow maintenance personnel to keep track of the progress of the response after the earthquake.

Further, in the elevator system 1, a plurality of elevators 2 may share the seismic detector 8. Further, in the elevator system 1, a plurality of elevators 2 may share the remote monitoring device 11.

Further, the elevator system 1 may include an elevator 2 that is not provided with the remote monitoring device 11. In this case, the response information from the elevator 2 is not input to the response management device 15. Therefore, the elevator 2 is tentatively registered in the management target list based on the earthquake information in the area where the elevator 2 is installed. After that, based on the progress information input from the maintenance staff through the maintenance terminal 18, processing such as transition from provisional registration to the definitive registration of the elevator 2 in the management target list is performed. Further, the restoration information about the elevator 2 may be input to the corresponding management device 15 through the maintenance terminal 18.

In the management system 12, the work management unit may be mounted on the corresponding management device 15 or the central management device 13. Further, the work determination unit 22 may be mounted on the central management device 13 or the work management device 14.

Further, the management system 12 may be provided with a plurality of information centers 16. At this time, the devices provided in the plurality of information centers 16 may be configured to make each other redundant.

As described above, the management system 12 according to the first embodiment includes a response information reception unit 21, an earthquake information reception unit 20, and a list management unit 25. The response information reception unit 21 receives response information to the seismic motion from at least one of the elevators 2. When an earthquake motion occurs in at least one of the areas where the elevator 2 is provided, the earthquake information reception unit 20 receives the earthquake motion information of the earthquake motion from the external service 19. The list management unit 25 stores the management target list. The management list is a list that manages the post-earthquake response for at least one of the plurality of elevators 2. When the response information receiving unit 21 receives the response information, the list management unit 25 deterministically registers the elevator 2 that issued the response information in the management target list. When the earthquake information reception unit 20 receives earthquake information indicating that an earthquake motion larger than a preset size has occurred in any area, the list management unit 25 manages each of the elevators 2 provided in the area. Temporarily register in the target list.

Due to such a configuration, even if the response information from the elevator 2 is not acquired, each of the elevators 2 that may have responded to the seismic motion based on the seismic information is tentatively registered in the management target list. Will be done. Further, even if a communication failure or a tight communication capacity occurs between the elevator 2 and the information center 16, the elevator 2 that may have responded to the earthquake motion is added to the management target list based on the earthquake information. It will be registered provisionally. Since the provisional registration is automatically performed by the response management device 15, the registration of the elevator 2 to be managed that manages the response after the earthquake in the management target list is less likely to be omitted. For this reason, it is less likely that the maintenance staff of the elevator 2 that responds after the earthquake will be dispatched to the site.

Further, the management system 12 includes an inquiry unit 29. The inquiry unit 29 inquires about the operating status of each of the elevators 2 provisionally registered in the management target list. The list management unit 25 performs processing based on the result of the inquiry of the inquiry unit 29. The list management unit 25 makes provisional registration in the management target list a definitive registration for the elevator 2 in a state of responding to the earthquake motion. The list management unit 25 cancels the provisional registration of the elevator 2 in the normal operation state in the management target list. The list management unit 25 maintains the provisional registration of the elevator 2 whose state is unknown in the management target list.

With such a configuration, the management system 12 can grasp the state of the elevator 2 provisionally registered in the management target list by inquiring after the earthquake. As a result, the necessity of post-earthquake response for each elevator 2 is clearly grasped, so that the work efficiency of post-earthquake response can be further improved.

Further, the management system 12 includes an operation information receiving unit 23. The operation information reception unit 23 accepts the operation of the maintenance staff who designates the elevator 2 that manages the response after the earthquake. The list management unit 25 provisionally registers the elevator 2 designated by the operation information reception unit 23 in the management target list.

With such a configuration, it becomes easy to manage the response after the earthquake according to the individual circumstances of each elevator 2. This makes it less likely that there will be an omission of response after the earthquake.

Further, the management system 12 includes a reference storage unit 26. The reference storage unit 26 stores information on the magnitude of seismic motion that manages the response after the occurrence of each elevator 2. The earthquake information receiving unit 20 receives earthquake information indicating that an earthquake motion has occurred in any area. At this time, the list management unit 25 provisionally puts each of the elevators 2 provided in the area and the magnitude of the generated seismic motion exceeds the size stored in the reference storage unit 26 into the management target list. To register with.

With such a configuration, provisional registration to the management target list is performed according to the characteristics of each elevator 2. As a result, unnecessary registration to the management target list is not performed, so that the work efficiency of post-earthquake response is further improved.

Further, the management system 12 according to the first embodiment includes a corresponding management device 15. The response management device 15 is provided independently of the central management device 13. The central management device 13 remotely monitors each elevator 2 and receives information on a report about each elevator 2. The response management device 15 includes a response information receiving unit 21 and a list management unit 25. The response information reception unit 21 receives response information to the seismic motion from at least one of the elevators 2. The list management unit 25 stores the management target list. The management list is a list that manages the post-earthquake response for at least one of the plurality of elevators 2. When the response information receiving unit 21 receives the response information, the list management unit 25 registers the elevator 2 that issued the response information in the management target list.

With such a configuration, information such as a report by voice call and response information from the elevator 2 are distributed and received among the central management device 13 and the response management device 15. As a result, the concentration of communication immediately after the occurrence of an earthquake can be suppressed. For this reason, the occurrence of communication failure can be suppressed, and the delay in dispatching the maintenance staff of the elevator 2 to respond after the earthquake to the site is unlikely to occur. Further, the list management unit 25 directly registers the elevator 2 for which the response information has been received in the management target list that the maintenance staff refers to when responding after the earthquake. As a result, the maintenance staff can voluntarily determine the elevator 2 to go to the site by referring to the management target list without instructing the operator. This makes it less likely that maintenance personnel will be delayed in arriving at the site.

Further, the correspondence management device 15 includes a presentation unit 28. The presentation unit 28 transmits information representing the management target list to the maintenance terminal 18 as a response to the display request transmitted from the maintenance terminal 18 operated by the maintenance staff.

With such a configuration, the maintenance staff can refer to the management target list from the maintenance terminal 18 operated by each maintenance worker. This makes it easier for maintenance personnel to determine which elevator 2 should go to the site. Further, since the maintenance terminal 18 does not need access to the central management device 13 when referring to the management target list, it becomes difficult for communication to the central management device 13 to be concentrated.

Further, the presentation unit 28 transmits the information of the contact information of the elevator 2 registered in the management target list to the maintenance terminal 18 for the elevator 2 in which the contact information for the inside of the car 6 is registered.

With such a configuration, the maintenance staff can contact the inside of the car 6 to confirm whether or not the elevator 2 is confined without requiring access to the central management device 13 or the like through the maintenance terminal 18. Will be able to be done efficiently.

Further, the correspondence management device 15 includes an operation information receiving unit 23. The operation information receiving unit 23 receives an operation of inputting progress information for any of the plurality of elevators 2 from the maintenance terminal 18. When the operation information reception unit 23 accepts the operation of inputting the progress information about the elevator 2 registered in the management target list, the list management unit 25 associates the progress information with the elevator 2 and registers the progress information in the management target list. ..
Further, the correspondence management device 15 includes a management information receiving unit 24. When the central management device 13 receives the progress information about any of the elevators 2, the management information receiving unit 24 receives the progress information from the central management device 13. When the management information receiving unit 24 receives the progress information about the elevator 2 registered in the management target list, the list management unit 25 associates the progress information with the elevator 2 and registers the progress information in the management target list.

With such a configuration, the progress of the response is integrated and managed in the management target list that the maintenance personnel refer to when responding after the earthquake. As a result, the maintenance staff can easily grasp the process of the response, so that even when a plurality of maintenance personnel perform the response of the same elevator 2, omission or duplication of the response is unlikely to occur. This will further improve the work efficiency of post-earthquake response.

Further, the operation information receiving unit 23 receives the input operation of the confinement information about the elevator 2 from the maintenance terminal 18. When the operation information receiving unit 23 accepts the operation of inputting the confinement information about the elevator 2 registered in the management target list, the list management unit 25 associates the confinement information with the elevator 2 and puts it in the management target list. sign up.
Further, the management information receiving unit 24 receives information on the confinement of the elevator 2 from the central management device 13. When the management information receiving unit 24 receives the confinement information about the elevator 2 registered in the management target list, the list management unit 25 associates the confinement information with the elevator 2 and registers the confinement information in the management target list.

With such a configuration, confinement information is integrated and managed in the management target list that maintenance personnel refer to when responding after an earthquake. Since the maintenance staff can determine which elevator 2 should go to the site by referring to the information on the confinement, the maintenance staff can quickly respond to the confinement with high urgency.

Further, the operation information receiving unit 23 receives an operation for inputting customer-corresponding information about the elevator 2 from the maintenance terminal 18. When the operation information receiving unit 23 accepts an operation for inputting customer-corresponding information about the elevator 2 registered in the management target list, the list management unit 25 associates the customer-corresponding information with the elevator 2 and manages it. Register in the list.
Further, the management information receiving unit 24 receives customer-facing information about the elevator 2 from the central management device 13. When the management information reception unit 24 receives the customer correspondence information about the elevator 2 registered in the management target list, the list management unit 25 associates the customer correspondence information with the elevator 2 and registers it in the management target list. do.

With such a configuration, customer response information is integrated and managed in the management target list that maintenance personnel refer to when responding after an earthquake. Since the maintenance staff can easily grasp the process of customer response, omission or duplication of customer response is less likely to occur. This will further improve the quality of post-earthquake response.

Further, the correspondence management device 15 includes a totaling unit 27. The totaling unit 27 totals the elevators 2 registered in the management target list. As a response to the aggregation request transmitted from the maintenance terminal 18, the presentation unit 28 transmits information representing the aggregation result by the aggregation unit 27 to the maintenance terminal 18.
Further, the totaling unit 27 totals the elevators 2 registered in the management target list for each preset area.

With such a configuration, maintenance personnel can easily grasp the progress of the response after the earthquake. This makes it easier for maintenance personnel to determine whether or not support for response after an earthquake is necessary.

Further, the management system 12 according to the first embodiment includes a response information receiving unit 21, a list management unit 25, a work management device 14, and a work determination unit 22. The response information reception unit 21 receives response information to the seismic motion from at least one of the elevators 2. The list management unit 25 stores the management target list. The management target list is a list that manages the response after an earthquake for at least one of the plurality of elevators 2. When the response information receiving unit 21 receives the response information, the list management unit 25 registers the elevator 2 that issued the response information in the management target list. The work management device 14 manages the schedule of maintenance work of each elevator 2. When the response information receiving unit 21 receives the response information, the work determination unit 22 refers to the work management device 14 to determine whether the maintenance work is scheduled for the elevator 2 that issued the response information. judge. The list management unit 25 cancels the registration of the elevator 2 determined by the work determination unit 22 to be in the management target list at the scheduled time for maintenance work. Alternatively, when the response information receiving unit 21 receives the response information, the work determination unit 22 determines with reference to the work management device 14 whether maintenance work is being performed on the elevator 2 that issued the response information. .. The list management unit 25 cancels the registration of the elevator 2 determined by the work determination unit 22 that the maintenance work is being performed in the management target list.

With such a configuration, even if the response information is erroneously issued due to the maintenance personnel erroneously touching the sensor during maintenance work, the notification is erroneous based on the presence or absence of maintenance work. Whether or not it is an alarm is automatically determined. As a result, it is not necessary to confirm whether or not the alarm in the information center 16 or the like is an erroneous alarm, so that the efficiency of management of the elevator 2 is less likely to decrease.

Further, the management system 12 includes an earthquake information receiving unit 20. When an earthquake motion occurs in at least one of the areas where the elevator 2 is provided, the earthquake information reception unit 20 receives the earthquake motion information of the earthquake motion from the external service 19. The list management unit 25 may determine that no earthquake motion larger than a preset size has occurred in any of the areas based on the earthquake information received by the earthquake information reception unit 20. At this time, the list management unit 25 cancels the registration of the elevator 2 provided in the area in the management target list.

With such a configuration, even if a malfunction of the seismic detector 8 or the like or a false alarm of response information due to vibration caused by work in the vicinity of the elevator 2 occurs, the alarm is issued based on the presence or absence of the earthquake information. Is automatically determined whether or not is a false alarm. As a result, it is not necessary to confirm whether or not the alarm in the information center 16 or the like is an erroneous alarm, so that the efficiency of management of the elevator 2 is less likely to decrease.

Further, the management system 12 according to the first embodiment includes a response information receiving unit 21, an operation information receiving unit 23, and a list management unit 25. The response information reception unit 21 receives response information to the seismic motion from at least one of the elevators 2. The response information reception unit 21 receives restoration information indicating restoration from the response of the elevator 2 that responded to the earthquake motion. The operation information receiving unit 23 receives an input operation of property damage information for any of the elevators 2 from the maintenance terminal 18 operated by the maintenance staff. The list management unit 25 stores the management target list. The management target list is a list that manages the response after an earthquake for at least one of the plurality of elevators 2. When the response information receiving unit 21 receives the response information, the list management unit 25 registers the elevator 2 that issued the response information in the management target list. When the operation information receiving unit 23 accepts the input operation of the property damage information about the elevator 2 registered in the management target list, the list management unit 25 associates the property damage information with the elevator 2 and puts it in the management target list. sign up. The response information receiving unit 21 may receive the restoration information of the elevator 2 registered in the management target list. At this time, when the unrecovered property damage of the elevator 2 is not registered in the management target list, the list management unit 25 processes the elevator 2 as a completion of the post-earthquake response in the management target list. On the other hand, when the unrecovered property damage of the elevator 2 is registered in the management target list, the list management unit 25 suspends the completion of the post-earthquake response for the elevator 2 in the management target list.

In any of the elevators 2, property damage may occur due to seismic motion. In the event of property damage, it may take some time to complete the post-earthquake response due to the arrangement of the target goods. In this case, the elevator 2 whose property has been damaged due to first aid or the like may be temporarily restored so that it can be operated. At this time, the restoration information of the elevator 2 may be transmitted to the information center 16. At this time, in the management system 12, if the unrecovered property damage is registered in the management target list, the completion of the response is suspended, so that the reception of the restoration information is not treated as the completion of the response after the earthquake. , Leakage is less likely to occur in response after an earthquake.

Further, the response information receiving unit 21 may receive the restoration information of the elevator 2 registered in the management target list. At this time, when the unrecovered property damage of the elevator 2 is registered in the management target list, the list management unit 25 associates the reception of the recovery information with the elevator 2 as progress information and manages the management target list. To register with.

With such a configuration, the reception of recovery information is integrated and managed in the management target list, so that the maintenance staff can determine whether or not the recovery information should be processed as an erroneous report based on the progress of the response. become. As a result, the management of the response of the elevator 2 after the earthquake becomes more efficient.

Further, the response information receiving unit 21 may receive the restoration information of the elevator 2 that is not registered in the management target list. At this time, the list management unit 25 stores the reception of the recovery information outside the management target list.

The recovery information from the elevator 2 that is not deterministically or provisionally registered in the management target list can be determined to be an erroneous report. Since such recovery information is managed outside the managed list, it is less likely that the judgment of the worker who refers to the managed list is hindered. As a result, the management of the response of the elevator 2 after the earthquake becomes more efficient.

Further, the response information receiving unit 21 may receive the restoration information of the elevator 2 registered in the management target list. At this time, when the response after the earthquake in the management target list for the elevator 2 is completed, the list management unit 25 associates the reception of the restoration information with the elevator 2 as progress information and puts it in the management target list. sign up.

It can be determined that the recovery information from the elevator 2 for which the response has already been completed is an erroneous report. Since the reception of the recovery information is integrated and managed in the management target list, the maintenance staff can determine after the fact how to process the recovery information based on the progress of the response.

Further, the response information receiving unit 21 may receive the restoration information of the elevator 2 registered a plurality of times in the management target list. At this time, the list management unit 25 processes the reception of the restoration information for the latest registration of the elevator 2.

With such a configuration, even when a seismic motion due to an aftershock occurs, restoration information is processed for the latest state of the elevator 2. This makes it less likely that there will be an omission of response after the earthquake.
