Embodiment 1 FIG.
FIG. 1 is a configuration diagram of an elevator remote monitoring system according to the first embodiment. The elevator remote monitoring system is applied to the building 1. Although not shown in FIG. 1, the elevator remote monitoring system is applied to a plurality of buildings 1.

  In the building 1, at least one elevator 2 is installed. The elevator remote monitoring system includes an elevator remote monitoring device 3. The elevator remote monitoring device 3 is provided in a remote monitoring center, for example. The elevator remote monitoring device 3 can communicate with the elevator 2 of each building 1 via the network 4. The network 4 is, for example, a telephone line or an internet line.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the elevator 2 includes a shake detection device 5, a control device 6, and a communication unit 7. The shake detection device 5 is provided, for example, in a hoistway or a car of the elevator 2. The elevator remote monitoring device 3 includes a building group storage unit 8, a building selection unit 9, and a remote control unit 10. The remote control unit 10 includes a resonance floor movement instruction unit 11 and a control operation instruction unit 12.

  The shake detection device 5 detects a long object shake in the elevator 2. The long object is, for example, the ropes and cables of the elevator 2. The shake detection device 5 detects a long object shake using, for example, a pendulum or an optical sensor. For example, the shake detection device 5 may continue to operate. For example, the shake detection device 5 may start an operation based on a signal from the control device 6 or the like.

  The extent to which the long object of the elevator 2 swings when the building 1 shakes depends on the floor on which the car is located. A floor on which a long object easily swings when the car is located is called a “resonance floor”. A floor where a long object is difficult to swing when the car is located is called a “non-resonant floor”. The shake detection device 5 accurately detects a long object shake when the car is located on the resonance floor.

  The control device 6 controls the movement of the elevator 2 car. The control device 6 performs, for example, normal operation and control operation. The control operation is performed, for example, in order to prevent an adverse effect on the elevator 2 caused by a long object shake. The control operation includes, for example, retracting the car to a non-resonant floor.

  The elevator 2 has a function of performing a shake detection operation. The shake detection operation is, for example, to operate the shake detection device 5 in a state where the car is moved to the resonance floor. That is, the elevator 2 performs a shake detection operation using the shake detection device 5 and the control device 6.

  The communication unit 7 transmits and receives signals to and from the elevator remote monitoring device 3 via the network 4. The control device 6 transmits and receives signals to and from the elevator remote monitoring device 3 via the communication unit 7. The communication unit 7 may be formed as a part of the control device 6.

  The elevator remote monitoring device 3 acquires external information. The external information is information for predicting whether or not the building 1 will shake. The external information is, for example, wind speed measured by an anemometer installed in the building 1. The external information is, for example, a strong wind warning and an emergency earthquake warning delivered from the Japan Meteorological Agency.

  The building group storage unit 8 stores information indicating at least one “building group”. One building group is composed of a plurality of buildings 1 existing in one same “region”. The same building 1 is not included in a plurality of building groups at the same time. The same building 1 does not exist in a plurality of areas at the same time. That is, the plurality of building groups exist in different areas. Information indicating a building group is stored in association with information indicating a region where the building group exists. The information indicating the building group includes, for example, position information of each building 1 constituting the building group.

  One area is set as an area where a plurality of buildings 1 constituting a group of buildings existing in the area can vibrate simultaneously when a strong wind or a long-period earthquake occurs. One area may be, for example, an area set based on an area. One area may be, for example, an area set based on the sea level. One area may be an area set based on latitude and longitude, for example. One area may be, for example, one administrative division.

  The building selection unit 9 dynamically selects some of the buildings 1 from the building group indicated by the information stored in the building group storage unit 8 based on preset conditions. When a plurality of building groups are stored in the building group storage unit 8, the building selection unit 9 selects some of the buildings 1 from each building group. That is, the building selection unit 9 selects some buildings 1 for each region. The number of buildings 1 selected from one building group by the building selection unit 9 may be one or more. The number of buildings 1 selected from one building group by the building selection unit 9 is smaller than the number of all the buildings 1 constituting the building group.

  The resonance floor movement instruction unit 11 transmits a resonance floor movement instruction signal to the elevator 2 installed in the building 1 selected by the building selection unit 9. When a plurality of elevators 2 are installed in the building 1, the resonance floor movement instruction unit 11 transmits a resonance floor movement instruction signal to one of the plurality of elevators 2. When receiving the resonance floor movement instruction signal via the communication unit 7, the control device 6 moves the car to the resonance floor. The shake detection device 5 operates in a state where the car is moved to the resonance floor. That is, the remote control unit 10 causes one of the elevators 2 installed in the building 1 selected by the building selection unit 9 to perform a shake detection operation. If the shake detection device 5 does not always operate, the control device 6 moves the car to the resonance floor and starts the operation of the shake detection device 5.

  The control device 6 transmits a shake detection signal to the elevator remote monitoring device 3 via the communication unit 7 when the shake detection device 5 detects a long object shake. The remote control unit 10 determines whether or not a long object shake is detected in the elevator 2 of the building 1 selected by the building selection unit 9. The determination that a long object shake has been detected is made, for example, when the remote control unit 10 receives the shake detection signal within a preset time after the resonance floor movement instruction signal is transmitted. The determination that the long object shake is not detected is made, for example, when the remote control unit 10 does not receive the shake detection signal within a preset time after the resonance floor movement instruction signal is transmitted.

  When it is determined that the long-body swing has been detected in the elevator 2 of the building 1 selected by the building selection unit 9, the control operation instruction unit 12 sends the elevators of all the buildings 1 constituting the building group including the building 1. A control operation instruction signal is transmitted to 2. The control operation instruction unit 12 transmits a control operation instruction signal based on the information stored in the building group storage unit 8. When the control device 6 receives the control operation instruction signal via the communication unit 7, the control device 6 performs the control operation. That is, the remote control unit 10 causes the elevator 2 of the entire building group including the building 1 in which the long object shake is detected to perform the control operation.

  When it is determined that the long-body swing has not been detected in the elevator 2 of the building 1 selected by the building selection unit 9, the control operation instruction unit 12 sets the building group including the building 1 to all the buildings 1. A normal operation instruction signal is transmitted to the elevator 2. The control operation instruction unit 12 transmits a normal operation instruction signal based on the information stored in the building group storage unit 8. When the control device 6 receives the normal operation instruction signal via the communication unit 7, the control device 6 performs the normal operation. Thereby, the elevator 2 used for the shake detection operation resumes the normal operation. The elevator 2 during normal operation continues normal operation as it is. That is, the remote control unit 10 causes the elevator 2 of the entire building group including the building 1 in which no long-length vibration is detected to perform normal operation.

  As shown in FIG. 1, in the first embodiment, the elevator remote monitoring device 3 includes a terminal position detection unit 13. A maintenance worker of the elevator 2 carries the portable information terminal 14. The portable information terminal 14 is, for example, a mobile phone, a smartphone, or a tablet terminal. The elevator remote monitoring device 3 can communicate with the portable information terminal 14 via the network 4.

  The terminal position detection unit 13 detects the position of the portable information terminal 14 via the network 4. In the first embodiment, the building selection unit 9 preferentially selects the building 1 that is closer to the position detected by the terminal position detection unit 13. For example, when selecting one building 1 from one building group, the building selecting unit 9 selects the building 1 that is closest to the position of the portable information terminal 14. For example, when selecting two buildings 1 from one building group, the building selection unit 9 selects the nearest building 1 and the second nearest building 1 from the position of the portable information terminal 14.

  That is, in the first embodiment, the preset condition is that the position of the building 1 is closer to the position detected by the terminal position detection unit 13.

  FIG. 2 is a conceptual diagram of the elevator remote monitoring system according to the first embodiment. FIG. 2 shows a case where the elevator remote monitoring system is applied to a plurality of buildings 1 constituting a plurality of building groups from a building group A to a building group Z as an example. In FIG. 2, in order to distinguish the some building 1, the code | symbol is attached | subjected to the code | symbol. The building group A includes a building 1a, a building 1b, and a building 1c. The building group Z includes a building 1x, a building 1y, and a building 1z. Hereinafter, an operation example of the building selection unit 9 in the first embodiment will be described.

  For example, the building selection unit 9 sets a “selection target area” for each area where the building group exists based on the position of the portable information terminal 14 carried by the maintenance worker. For example, the selection target area is set as a certain area centered on the position of the portable information terminal 14. In this case, the building selection unit 9 selects the building 1 existing in the selection target area from the plurality of buildings 1 constituting the building group. The building selection unit 9 does not select a building 1 that does not exist in the selection target area among the plurality of buildings 1 constituting the building group. In the example illustrated in FIG. 2, the building 1a is selected from the building group A. In the example illustrated in FIG. 2, the building 1z is selected from the building group Z.

  FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing the operation of the elevator remote monitoring apparatus according to the first embodiment. When there are a plurality of building groups, the operation shown in FIG. 3 is executed for each building group.

  The building selection unit 9 determines whether or not the building 1 may be shaken based on the external information (step S101). If it is determined in step S101 that there is a possibility that the building 1 may shake, the building selection unit 9 preferentially selects the building 1 that is closer to the position of the portable information terminal 14 in the building group (step S101). S102).

  The remote control unit 10 causes the elevator 2 of the selected building 1 to perform a shake detection operation (step S103). The remote control unit 10 determines whether or not a long object shake is detected in the elevator 2 of the selected building 1 (step S104).

  When it is determined in step S104 that a long-length object shake has been detected, the remote control unit 10 causes the elevator 2 of the entire building group to perform a control operation (step S105). When it is determined in step S104 that no long-length vibration has been detected, the remote control unit 10 causes the elevator 2 of the entire building group to perform normal operation (step S106). Also, if it is determined in step S101 that there is no possibility that the building 1 will shake, the process of step S106 is performed.

  In the first embodiment, the elevator remote monitoring device 3 includes a building group storage unit 8, a building selection unit 9, and a remote control unit 10. The building group storage unit 8 stores information indicating a building group composed of a plurality of buildings 1 existing in the same area in association with information indicating the area. The building selection unit 9 selects a part of the building 1 from the building group indicated by the information stored in the building group storage unit 8 based on preset conditions. The remote control unit 10, when a long object shake is detected in the elevator 2 installed in the building 1 selected by the building selection unit 9, all the buildings constituting the building group including the selected building 1 The elevator 2 installed in 1 performs control operation. That is, the elevator remote monitoring device 3 causes the elevators 2 of some buildings 1 extracted from the building group to perform a shake detection operation. For this reason, according to the first embodiment, it is possible to detect long-body shakes in a plurality of buildings without unnecessarily reducing the operation efficiency of the elevators in many buildings. As a result, it is possible to determine whether or not the elevators in the entire area should be subjected to the control operation while suppressing the decrease in convenience for elevator users in the entire area.

  In Embodiment 1, the building group memory | storage part 8 memorize | stores the information which shows the several building group which exists in a respectively different area, for example. The building selection unit 9 selects some buildings 1 from each of the plurality of building groups indicated by the information stored in the building group storage unit 8. That is, when there are a plurality of building groups, the elevator remote monitoring device 3 extracts a part of the buildings 1 for each building group. For this reason, according to Embodiment 1, in a plurality of areas, it is possible to detect a long object shake in a plurality of buildings without reducing the operation efficiency of the elevators in an unnecessarily large number of buildings.

  In the first embodiment, the elevator remote monitoring device 3 includes a terminal position detection unit 13. The terminal position detection unit 13 detects the position of the portable information terminal 14 carried by the maintenance worker of the elevator 2. The building selection unit 9 preferentially selects the building 1 that is closer to the position detected by the terminal position detection unit 13. That is, the elevator remote monitoring device 3 causes the elevator 2 of the building 1 where the maintenance worker is nearby to perform the shake detection operation. For this reason, when a long object shake is detected, a maintenance worker can be dispatched quickly to the building where the elevator that performs the shake detection operation is provided.

  Similar to the first embodiment, the building selection unit 9 has a first function of preferentially selecting the building 1 that is closer to the position detected by the terminal position detection unit 13. Similarly to the second embodiment, the building selection unit 9 has a second function of selecting a building 1 in which at least one of installed elevators 2 is in a standby state. The building selection unit 9 has a third function that does not select the building 1 corresponding to the contents of the building database 15 as in the third embodiment. In the fourth embodiment, the building selection unit 9 performs an operation in which two or more of the first function, the second function, and the third function are combined.

  That is, in the fourth embodiment, the preset condition is that the position of the building 1 is closer to the position detected by the terminal position detection unit 13, and at least one of the elevators installed in the building 1 is in a standby state. It is a combination of two or more of the fact that the building 1 does not correspond to the contents of the building database 15.

  In the fourth embodiment, the elevator remote monitoring device 3 includes a building group storage unit 8, a building selection unit 9, and a remote control unit 10 as in the first, second, and third embodiments. For this reason, as in the first, second, and third embodiments, it is possible to detect a long object shake in a plurality of buildings without deteriorating the operation efficiency of the elevators in an unnecessarily large number of buildings. As a result, it is possible to determine whether or not the elevators in the entire area should be subjected to the control operation while suppressing the decrease in convenience for elevator users in the entire area.

  In the fourth embodiment, the building group storage unit 8 stores, for example, information indicating a plurality of building groups that exist in different areas, as in the first, second, and third embodiments.

  In the fourth embodiment, the building selection unit 9 has a first function, a second function, and a third function. According to the first function, when a long object shake is detected, a maintenance worker can be quickly dispatched to the building where the elevator that performs the shake detection operation is provided. According to the 2nd function, it can prevent that the operation efficiency of an elevator falls in the congested building. According to the third function, for example, in a highly public building or the like, it is possible to prevent the operation efficiency of the elevator from being reduced in a crowded time zone. The building selection unit 9 dynamically selects some of the buildings 1 from the building group by combining two or more of the first function, the second function, and the third function. For this reason, according to the fourth embodiment, two or more of the effects of the first function, the second function, and the third function can be obtained simultaneously.

  In the first, second, third, and fourth embodiments, the remote control unit 10 may cause the plurality of elevators 2 installed in the building 1 selected by the building selection unit 9 to perform the shake detection operation.
