Description

  The present invention relates to an elevator status information communication device and a remote monitoring system, and more particularly to a status information communication device and a remote monitoring system for transmitting elevator status information to a monitoring center using a mobile communication terminal.

  In the elevator remote monitoring system, multiple elevators are connected to a remote monitoring center via a public telephone network such as an analog telephone network or a mobile telephone network, so that the operation status or failure status of each elevator can be monitored through the public network. Some are centrally monitored. In such a remote monitoring system, when an abnormality occurs in the elevator or when a passenger is trapped, the information is reported to the monitoring center through the public network, and a maintenance staff is dispatched to the elevator from the monitoring center. To instruct.

  However, when a large-scale disaster such as an earthquake occurs, there is a possibility that the public line network becomes congested and communication becomes difficult, the public line network base station is damaged, or the public line network cannot be used due to a power failure. . Under such circumstances, in order to quickly recover an elevator or the like in which an abnormality has occurred, a method or configuration for knowing the status information of the elevator is required even when communication with the monitoring center is not possible.

  Patent Document 1 describes a technology that preferentially communicates a highly urgent report such as passenger confinement to a monitoring center during a large-scale disaster. Patent Document 2 describes a technique for communicating status information of an elevator to a monitoring center using a cellular phone line of a general user in a large-scale disaster. Patent Document 3 describes a technique for displaying that a passenger is confined using an external display device provided in an elevator. Patent Document 4 describes a technique for performing ad hoc network communication between a plurality of elevators and transmitting elevator abnormality and passenger confinement information when a public network cannot be used due to a large-scale disaster.

  FIG. 1 shows the overall configuration of an elevator remote monitoring system 100 according to the first embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, the remote monitoring system 100 concentrates the elevators 1A, 2A, 3A installed in a plurality of buildings 1, 2, 3 and the operating statuses and failure statuses of the elevators 1A, 2A, 3A, respectively. Status information communication devices 1B, 2B, which acquire status information regarding abnormalities such as failures in the monitoring center 4 to be monitored and elevators 1A, 2A, 3A and occurrence of passenger confinement, and transmit this status information to the monitoring center 4 3B, a public network 5 used for communication between the elevators 1A, 2A, 3A and the monitoring center 4, and a portable communication terminal 6 for transmitting / receiving state information between the elevators 1A, 2A, 3A, For example, a mobile communication terminal 6 such as a smartphone or a personal computer is provided.

  In the remote monitoring system 100, the monitoring center 4 centrally monitors the operating status, failure status, and the like of the elevators 1A, 2A, 3A through the public network 5. For this reason, for example, when an abnormality such as a failure or passenger confinement occurs in the elevator 1A, status information related to the abnormality or passenger confinement is transmitted to the monitoring center 4 through the public network 5, and the monitoring center 4 sends it to the elevator maintenance management company. Dispatch of maintenance personnel is requested.

  In addition, in the area where the elevator 1A is installed, when a large-scale disaster such as an earthquake occurs and the public line network 5 becomes congested and communication becomes difficult, the base station of the public line network 5 is damaged, power failure When the public line network 5 cannot be used due to this, that is, when the elevator 1A and the monitoring center 4 cannot communicate with each other, the status information of the elevator 1A is transferred to another elevator 2A using the mobile communication terminal 6. introduce.

  When the mobile communication terminal 6 is in the vicinity of the elevator 1A, the mobile communication terminal 6 receives state information of the elevator 1A from the elevator 1A. When the mobile communication terminal 6 moves to the vicinity of the elevator 2A that can use the public network 5, the status information of the elevator 1A is transmitted to the elevator 2A. The elevator 2 </ b> A transmits the status information of the elevator 1 </ b> A received from the mobile communication terminal 6 to the monitoring center 4 through the public network 5. Details of the state information transmission / reception control when the elevator 1A cannot communicate with the monitoring center 4 will be described later.

  Next, details of the state information communication devices 1B, 2B, 3B will be described with reference to FIG. The elevators 1A, 2A, and 3A are provided with status information communication devices 1B, 2B, and 3B that transmit status information such as abnormality of the elevators 1A, 2A, and 3A and passenger confinement to the monitoring center 4, respectively. Since the state information communication devices 1B, 2B, and 3B have the same configuration and perform the same control, the state information communication device 1B will be described below.

  FIG. 2 shows a specific configuration of the state information communication device 1B. As shown in FIG. 2, the state information communication device 1B includes a state information acquisition unit 11 that acquires state information of the elevator 1A from the control unit 1a of the elevator 1A, and monitoring communication that transmits state information of the elevator 1A to the monitoring center 4. Unit 12, state information storage unit 13 that stores state information of elevator 1 </ b> A, state information transmission unit 14 that transmits state information of elevator 1 </ b> A to portable communication terminal 6, and state information of other elevators 2 </ b> A and 3 </ b> A And a state information receiving unit 15 that receives from the communication terminal 6.

  The state information acquisition unit 11 is connected to the control unit 1a of the elevator 1A through a signal line, and acquires state information related to abnormality such as a failure that has occurred in the elevator 1A and passenger confinement from the control unit 1a of the elevator 1A. . An example of this state information is shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 3, the status information of the elevator 1A includes an elevator ID that identifies the elevator 1A, position information where the elevator 1A is installed, an elevator status indicating whether the status of the elevator 1A is normal or abnormal, and information acquisition It is configured as a status information record D1 including information on the presence / absence of passengers in the car at the time, flag information indicating whether or not this status information has been notified to the monitoring center 4, and the like. Information other than these may be included.

  In addition, information communication between the elevator 1A and the state information acquisition unit 11 includes, for example, short-range wireless communication such as wireless LAN and Bluetooth (registered trademark), Ethernet (registered trademark), RS-232C, RS-422, RS A communication cable defined by a communication standard such as -485 or USB may be used.

  The monitoring communication unit 12 is connected to the status information acquisition unit 11, and transmits the status information acquired by the status information acquisition unit 11 to the monitoring center 4 through the public line network 5. Further, as described above, the monitoring communication unit 12 transmits the status information to the monitoring center 4 through the public line network 5 when the public line network 5 can be used, but when the public line network 5 cannot be used. Then, an instruction to enable the transmission function is output to the status information transmission unit 14.

  The status information storage unit 13 is connected to the status information acquisition unit 11, the status information transmission unit 14, and the status information reception unit 15. The state information storage unit 13 has a state information record part D as a storage area for storing the state information record D1. The state information storage unit 13 stores the state information of the elevator 1 </ b> A acquired by the state information acquisition unit 11 in the state information record unit D. In addition, when the state information receiving unit 15 receives the state information of the other elevators 2A and 3A when the state information receiving unit 15 receives the state information of the other elevators 2A and 3A, the relationship between the elevator 1A and the other elevators 2A and 3A satisfies a predetermined condition. The state information of the elevators 2A and 3A is also stored in the state information record part D.

  The state information transmission unit 14 has a function of transmitting the state information stored in the state information storage unit 13 to the mobile communication terminal 6. When the public line network 5 can be used, the status information transmission unit 14 has its transmission function disabled. When the public line network 5 cannot be used, the status information transmission unit 14 enables the transmission function according to an instruction from the monitoring communication unit 12. To.

  The status information receiving unit 15 receives status information of the other elevators 2 </ b> A and 3 </ b> A from the mobile communication terminal 6. For communication between the state information transmitting unit 14 and the state information receiving unit 15 and the mobile communication terminal 6, for example, short-range wireless communication such as wireless LAN and Bluetooth (registered trademark) is used. Detailed control contents regarding the monitoring communication unit 12, the state information transmitting unit 14, and the state information receiving unit 15 will be described later.

  The mobile communication terminal 6 has a short-range wireless communication function, and a communication application for communicating with the state information transmitting unit 14 and the state information receiving unit 15 is installed in advance. The communication application stores the communication control with the state information transmission unit 14 and the state information reception unit 15 and temporarily stores the state information communicated with the state information transmission unit 14 and the state information reception unit 15 in the mobile communication terminal 6. Control. The communication application is preferably incorporated in another application that can be used in the event of a large-scale disaster such as an earthquake, and downloaded in advance to the mobile communication terminal 6 used by general users.

  Next, acquisition of status information of the elevators 1A, 2A, and 3A and transmission of the status information to the monitoring center 4 will be described. First, the flowchart of the acquisition control of the status information of the elevator 1A is shown in FIG.

  In step S101 of the flowchart of FIG. 4, the state information acquisition unit 11 acquires the elapsed time from the previous acquisition of the state information from the elevator 1A, and compares this elapsed time with a predetermined time set in advance. It is determined whether the elapsed time exceeds a predetermined time. If the elapsed time exceeds the predetermined time (Yes), the process proceeds to step S102. If the elapsed time does not exceed the predetermined time (No), the elapsed time is counted and the process returns.

  In step S102, the latest status information from the elevator 1A, that is, status information such as whether there is an abnormality in the elevator 1A or whether there is a passenger confinement is acquired from the control unit 1a of the elevator 1A. move on.

  In step S <b> 103, the acquired latest state information is stored in the state information storage unit 13. That is, the state information stored in the state information storage unit 13 is updated to the latest state information. For this reason, the state information stored in the state information storage unit 13 is always the latest state information. As shown in FIG. 3, in the state information record D1, information on each item of the elevator state, the presence / absence of passengers, and flag information is updated. Here, the elevator state is “abnormal”, the presence / absence of passengers is “present”, and the notification to the monitoring center 4 is “not yet”.

  Next, communication control of the status information of the elevator 1A to the monitoring center 4 is shown in FIG. In step S201 of the flowchart of FIG. 5, the state information communication device 1B confirms the state information record unit D of the state information storage unit 13 at a predetermined cycle, and proceeds to step S202.

  In step S202, the state information record part D is confirmed, the notification (flag information) to the monitoring center 4 is “not yet”, the elevator state is “abnormal”, or the presence / absence of passengers is “present”. Determine if there is status information. Here, as in the state information record D1 shown in FIG. 3, the elevator state is “abnormal”, the presence / absence of passengers is “present”, and the notification to the monitoring center 4 is “not yet” (Yes), step S203. Proceed to If there is no such state information (No), the process returns.

  In step S203, the monitoring communication unit 12 uses the public line network 5 to transmit the corresponding status information to the monitoring center 4, and proceeds to step S204. In step S204, has the transmission to the monitoring center 4 been successful? Confirm.

  When the status information is transmitted from the monitoring communication unit 12 to the monitoring center 4, the monitoring center 4 returns a signal indicating that the transmission is successful to the monitoring communication unit 12. If there is no reply, the transmission from the monitoring communication unit 12 to the monitoring center 4 is retried a predetermined number of times. If there is still no reply from the monitoring center 4, it is determined that transmission from the monitoring communication unit 12 to the monitoring center 4 has failed. As a cause of the transmission failure, for example, a large-scale disaster such as an earthquake occurs. Due to the occurrence of a large-scale disaster, there is a case where the public line network 5 is congested and communication is difficult, or a base station of the public line network 5 is damaged or a power failure occurs, and the public line network 5 cannot be used. Even if a large-scale disaster does not occur, transmission to the monitoring center 4 becomes impossible due to a failure of the communication device of the monitoring communication unit 12 or the like.

  If the transmission from the monitoring communication unit 12 to the monitoring center 4 is successful (Yes), the process proceeds to step S205, and the notification (flag information) of the state information to the monitoring center 4 is updated to “completed”, and step S206 is performed. Proceed to

  In step S206, the transmission function of the state information transmission unit 14 is disabled and the process returns. That is, since the monitoring communication unit 12 of the elevator 1A can normally transmit the state information to the monitoring center 4, the state information communication device 1B does not need to transmit the state information to the mobile communication terminal 6. On the other hand, if the transmission from the monitoring communication unit 12 to the monitoring center 4 has failed (No), the process proceeds to step S207, the transmission function of the status information transmission unit 14 is enabled, and the process returns.

  Next, transmission control of the state information transmission unit 14 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. When the monitoring communication unit 12 enables the transmission function of the state information transmission unit 14 in step S207 in FIG. 5, the state information transmission unit 14 communicates in the vicinity of the elevator 1A in step S301 in the flowchart in FIG. The search for the mobile communication terminal 6 in which the application is installed is started, and the process proceeds to step S302. That is, the mobile communication terminal 6 in which the communication application is installed is searched for among the mobile communication terminals 6 owned by passers-by who pass near the elevator 1A.

  In step S <b> 302, when a communicable mobile communication terminal 6 is found based on the search result of the mobile communication terminal 6 (Yes), the process proceeds to step S <b> 303 and state information is transmitted to the mobile communication terminal 6. At this time, when a plurality of mobile communication terminals 6 are found, the state information is transmitted to all of the mobile communication terminals 6. When the mobile communication terminal 6 receives the state information from the state information transmission unit 14, the mobile communication terminal 6 stores the state information. If no communicable mobile communication terminal 6 is found (No), the process returns.

  Then, a passerby who owns this mobile communication terminal 6 moves from the damaged elevator 1A to an area where there is an unaffected elevator 2A as shown by a broken line in FIG. That is, the passerby in the stricken area moves from the stricken area to the non-stricken area, so that the mobile communication terminal 6 moves from the stricken elevator 1A to the non-stricken elevator 2A.

  At this time, if the number of mobile communication terminals 6 storing the status information of the elevator 1A is small, the probability that the mobile communication terminal 6 moves from the elevator 1A to the elevator 2A is low, but the mobile information storing the status information of the elevator 1A is low. By increasing the number of communication terminals 6, that is, by transmitting state information of the elevator 1A to a large number of mobile communication terminals 6, the probability that the mobile communication terminal 6 moves from the elevator 1A to the elevator 2A can be improved. .

  Next, control of the state information receiving unit 15 of the elevator 2A will be described with reference to a flowchart of FIG. 7 and a schematic diagram of FIG. FIG. 8 shows a situation where the elevators 1A and 3A cannot use the public network 5, and the elevator 2A receives state information from the elevators 1A and 3A.

  In step S401 of FIG. 7, the status information receiving unit 15 of the elevator 2A detects the presence or absence of communication from the mobile communication terminal 6 located in the vicinity of the elevator 2A, that is, in the short-range wireless communication area of the status information receiving unit 15. Then, the process proceeds to step S402.

  In step S402, it is confirmed whether the detected mobile communication terminal 6 stores the state information of the other elevators 1A and 3A. If the state information is stored, the state information is received, Proceed to step S403.

  In step S403, the elevator 1A, 3A position information is read from the position information of the status information records D1, D3 of the elevators 1A, 3A, and compared with the position information of the elevator 2A.

  As shown in FIG. 8, based on the position information of the elevators 1A, 2A, 3A, the position of the elevator 1A is within a circular area (for example, a radius of 5 km) having a radius R as a predetermined range with the position of the elevator 2A as the center. If yes (Yes), the process proceeds to step S404, the state information of the elevator 1A is stored in the state information storage unit 13 of the elevator 2A, and the information of the state information record unit D in the state information storage unit 13 is updated. Moreover, the information of the state information record part D updated in the state information storage part 13 of the elevator 2A is shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 9, in the state information storage unit 13 of the elevator 2A, a state information record D1 of the elevator 1A is added in addition to the state information record D2 of the elevator 2A.

  On the other hand, when the position of the elevator 3A is outside the circular area centered on the position of the elevator 2A (No), the state information of the elevator 3A is not stored in the state information storage unit 13 of the elevator 2A, and the process returns. That is, when the elevators 1A and 3A are located in a predetermined range in the elevator 2A, the state information of the elevators 1A and 3A is stored in the state information storage unit 13 of the elevator 2A.

  Thereafter, since the public line network 5 can be used in the area where the elevator 2A is located, the control in steps S201 to S206 in the flowchart shown in FIG. 5 is performed. As a result, the status information of the elevator 1A is transmitted to the monitoring center 4 via the monitoring communication unit 12 of the elevator 2A. Based on the status information of the elevator 1A, the monitoring center 4 determines that the maintenance staff needs to be dispatched to the elevator 1A, and requests the maintenance staff to dispatch the maintenance staff from the monitoring center 4.

  As described above, when the state information of the elevator 1A that cannot use the public line network 5 is transmitted to the monitoring center 4 via the elevator 2A that can use the public line network 5, the state of the elevator 1A located in the vicinity of the elevator 2A Since only the information is transmitted to the monitoring center 4 together, the monitoring center 4 can collectively judge the elevator status information located in a predetermined range, and the maintenance staff is abnormal or has trapped passengers. It can be efficiently dispatched to the elevator 1A. That is, when the elevator 2A receives the state information from the other elevators 1A and 3A, the monitoring center 4 efficiently stores the state information because it restricts the accumulation of the state information of the elevator 3A located away from the elevator 2A. Can be collected.

  Further, even when the mobile communication terminal 6 moves to the vicinity of the plurality of elevators 1A, 2A, 3A, accumulation of state information of the elevators 1A, 2A, 3A outside the predetermined range is limited, so the elevators 1A, 2A, 3A The diffusion of the state information can be suppressed. As a result, maintenance personnel can be dispatched corresponding to a predetermined range, and an elevator abnormality can be quickly dealt with. Even when transmission to the monitoring center 4 is impossible due to a failure of the communication device of the monitoring communication unit 12, the status information can be transmitted to the monitoring center 4.

  Next, a second embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. In the first embodiment, accumulation of state information is limited based on the position information of the elevators 1A, 2A, 3A. In the second embodiment, based on the group IDs of the elevators 1A, 2A, 3A. The accumulation of status information is limited.

  The remote monitoring system 100 according to the second embodiment has the same configuration as the remote monitoring system 100 according to the first embodiment, and a part of the control is different.

  As shown in FIG. 13, in the second embodiment, the item of the status information record D2 includes “group ID”. The group ID is an ID for classifying the elevators 1A, 2A, and 3A into a predetermined group. For example, a group ID for which maintenance staff A is in charge of elevator maintenance is classified as “AAAA”, and maintenance staff B is an elevator. The group ID in charge of maintenance is classified as “BBBB”. FIG. 13 shows that the elevator 2A is classified into the group ID “AAAAA”.

  In the flowchart in FIG. 10, steps S501, S502, and S504 are the same as steps S401, S402, and S404 in FIG. Then, the state information receiving unit 15 reads out the group IDs of the elevators 1A and 3A and compares them with the group ID of the elevator 2A in step S503 of FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 11, when the group ID “AAAA” of the elevator 2A and the group ID “AAAA” of the elevator 1A are the same group ID based on the group IDs of the elevators 1A, 2A, 3A (Yes), step S504. The state information of the elevator 1A is stored in the state information storage unit 13 of the elevator 2A, and the information in the state information record unit D in the state information storage unit 13 is updated. Information of the state information record part D updated in the state information storage part 13 of the elevator 2A is shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 13, in the state information storage unit 13 of the elevator 2A, a state information record D1 of the elevator 1A is added in addition to the state information record D2 of the elevator 2A.

  On the other hand, when the group ID “BBBB” of the elevator 3A is different from the group ID “AAAA” of the elevator 2A (No), the status information of the elevator 3A is not stored in the status information storage unit 13 of the elevator 2A.

  Thus, in 2nd Embodiment, by giving group ID to each elevator 1A, 2A, 3A, elevator 1A, 2A, 3A which permits accumulation | storage of the status information of elevator 1A, 2A, 3A individually Can be specified. For this reason, it is possible to efficiently collect the state information of the elevators 1A, 2A, 3A that the maintenance staff is in charge of. Moreover, it is also possible to collect state information of specific elevators 1A, 2A, 3A by classifying group IDs according to the type of elevator.
