[0008]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of an elevator data collection device according to the present invention. In FIG. 1, 1 is an elevator control unit, 2 is a state detection unit, 3 is a data processing unit, and 4 is a storage unit. The elevator control unit 1
It controls the operation of the elevator and acquires data during elevator operation. The state detection unit 2 detects the position of the elevator car, the call registration state, the presence / absence of passengers in the car, etc. in the operation data obtained by the elevator control unit 1. When there are no passengers in the car, or when there is a very small load that cannot be detected by the elevator control unit 1, and the car is at the bottom floor, there is a call registration only at the top floor. In the case where the car is on the top floor and the call is registered only on the bottom floor, a detection output is generated when such a detection is performed. Further, the data processing unit 3 normally processes various data obtained by the elevator control unit 1. However, in addition to such processing, if the state detection unit 2 can detect the state. In the data obtained from the elevator control unit 1 (when the detection output is generated), data relating to the traveling of the elevator car (for example,
Movement speed, vibration, acceleration / deceleration, braking distance, etc.
Data processing means for measuring the moving speed of the car is provided. The storage unit 4 is configured to store the data processed or measured by the data processing unit 3.

The elevator data collecting apparatus having the above-described structure operates as described below. As is well known, the elevator control unit 1 controls the entire operation of the elevator, and at the same time, acquires data specified particularly among the data during the operation of the elevator, constantly or at regular intervals, and processes the data. It is being supplied to Part 3. The data processing unit 3 performs a predetermined process on various data obtained by the elevator control unit 1, supplies the processed data to the storage unit 4 to store the data appropriately, and, if necessary, issues the alert information. Etc. to a communication device (not shown).

While the above operation control is being continued, in the data obtained from the elevator control unit 1, the state detection unit 2 indicates that the elevator car is in a state as described below, that is, the inside of the car is unmanned. , Or a state in which the load is extremely low such that the elevator control unit 1 cannot detect it, and the car is on the bottom floor and the call is registered only on the top floor, or the car is on the top floor. Then, when it is detected that the call is registered only on the lowest floor, the state detection unit 2 generates the first detection output and supplies it to the data processing unit 3. When the data processing unit 3 receives the first detection output, that is, the command to start measuring the moving speed, the data processing unit 3 extracts data indicating the moving speed of the elevator car from the data obtained from the elevator control unit 1. The measurement of the moving speed of the car is started.

During the measurement of the moving speed, if the car moves from the bottom floor to the top floor or from the top floor to the bottom floor without stopping, the state detection unit 2 detects this movement state and 2 detection output is generated and similarly supplied to the data processing unit 3. When the data processing unit 3 receives the second detection output, that is, the command to end the measurement of the moving speed, the data processing unit 3 ends the measuring of the moving speed, and supplies the data measured at this time to the storage unit 4 to store the data. It is a thing.

On the other hand, when the car call is registered on the midway floor during the measurement of the moving speed and the car stops at the midway floor, the state detecting unit 2 detects the moving state at this time. And immediately generate a third detection output,
It is supplied to the data processing unit 3. When the data processing unit 3 receives this third detection output, that is, a command to stop measuring the moving speed, the data processing unit 3 stops measuring the moving speed and supplies the data measured up to this time to the storage unit 4. I try to immediately discard it.

Next, the processing during the data collection operation performed by the elevator operation data collection apparatus will be further described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. First, step S
1, the state detection unit 2 detects that the elevator car is unattended, the car is on the lowest floor, and the call is registered only on the top floor, or the car is on the top floor. It is determined whether or not the call is registered only on the lower floor. Then, when this determination is NO, the state returns to the state before step S1 and the determination is performed again, and when the determination is YES, the first detection output is generated and the process proceeds to the next step S2. Continue to step S2
In the above, the data processing unit 3 receives the first detection output supplied from the state detection unit 2, that is, the command to start measuring the moving speed, from the bottom floor to the top floor or from the top floor to the bottom floor. Measure the moving speed of the car.

Next, in step S3, the state detecting section 2 determines whether or not the car has been moved and operated without stopping from the lowest floor to the highest floor or from the highest floor to the lowest floor. Then, when this determination is NO, this processing is immediately terminated, the state before step S1 is returned, the data measured up to that point is discarded, and when the determination is YES, the second detection output is generated. Then, the process proceeds to the next step S4. Next, in step S4, the data processing unit 3 stores the moving speed data measured up to that time in the storage unit 4 in response to a second detection output supplied from the state detecting unit 2, that is, a command to end measuring the moving speed. Supply and store there.

As described above, in this embodiment, when the inside of the elevator car is unmanned, and the car is on the lowest floor and the call is registered only on the highest floor, or the car is Start measuring the moving speed of the car only when the call is registered only on the bottom floor on the top floor,
The moving speed data measured by the data processing unit 3 is stored in the storage unit 4 only when the car arrives at the uppermost floor or the lowermost floor without stopping at an intermediate floor. When the car call registration occurs on an intermediate floor during the measurement and the car stops on the intermediate floor, the measurement is immediately stopped and the passenger is put on the car. To perform a normal elevator service, and in such a case, even if the car arrives at the top floor or the bottom floor, the measured data is discarded and is not stored in the storage unit 4. Is.

Therefore, in this embodiment, the user can use the elevator normally without any trouble even if the elevator car is driving while the data related to its travel is being measured. Has advantages.

In this embodiment, an example of measuring the data relating to the traveling of the car when the departure floor is the lowest floor and the arrival floor is the highest floor or the departure floor is the highest floor and the arrival floor is the lowest floor has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and if the data related to the traveling of the elevator car can be measured, the departure floor and the arrival floor are not the lowest floor or the highest floor, and any floor can be selected. You can Further, in the description of the above embodiment, an example in which measurement is performed only when the car is unmanned is described, but a weight that does not cause a failure in measurement is set, and if the weight is less than that, it is considered that the car is unmanned. It can also be configured to process.

Further, in the above description of the embodiment, an example in which the state detection unit detects whether or not the elevator car has stopped during traveling from the departure floor to the arrival floor has been described, but whether or not the elevator car has stopped Whether or not can be directly determined by the data processing unit itself by inputting required data of the elevator control unit to the data processing unit.

[0019]

As described above, according to the present invention,
For the measurement for collecting the data on the traveling of the elevator car, the inside of the elevator car is in a state equivalent to unmanned, and the car is on the first specific floor, and for this first specific floor, It can be measured only when there is a call registration on the second specific floor where the elevator car traveling can be measured. Moreover, the car was driven through the second specific floor without stopping at the floor on the way. Since the measured data is stored as valid data only in a case, a situation in which the elevator passengers are requested to forcibly get off the train or the elevator user is prevented from getting into the car does not occur, There is an effect that the passengers and users are not inconvenienced.

[0020] Also. According to the present invention, even when the elevator car is in the through operation from the first specific floor to the second specific floor for collecting the data regarding the traveling, during the operation of the car, When the call registration occurs on the floor, the usual service, that is, the car is driven to the destination floor where the user wants to go, there is also an effect that the service to the user is not reduced.
