The elevator control function includes, for example, a microcomputer that executes arithmetic processing, a ROM (Read Only Memory) that stores data such as program data and fixed value data, and a RAM that updates stored data and is sequentially rewritten ( Random Access Memory) and the like. The display function is realized by, for example, a GUI (Graphical User Interface), an LED (Light Emitting Diode), a mechanical switch, or the like.

  The operation device 1 may have any configuration as long as it has the above-described communication function and elevator control function. As the operation unit 1, for example, a mobile terminal owned by a maintenance person who maintains an elevator installed in a building, a terminal provided in an information center for remotely monitoring an elevator from outside the building where the elevator is installed, and an elevator autonomously Examples include autonomous robots that perform maintenance. Examples of mobile terminals owned by the maintenance personnel include wired remote controllers, wireless remote controllers, smart phones, and personal computers.

  The operation device 1 is provided with a position detection unit 11 that detects position information indicating the position of the operation device 1 and a state detection unit 12 that detects state information indicating the state of the operation device 1. The manipulator 1 transmits manipulator information including position information detected by the position detector 11 and state information detected by the state detector 12 to the control device 2 connected by communication.

  The position information of the operating device 1 is information indicating where in the elevator the operating device 1 is located. The position detection unit 11 indicates that the operation unit 1 is located in, for example, an elevator pit, an elevator hall, an elevator car, an elevator car, or an exterior of a building in which the elevator is installed. Detect as information.

  The position detection unit 11 uses, for example, a GPS (Global Positioning System), a beacon, a Wi-Fi, an atmospheric pressure received by the operation device 1, an IP (Internet Protocol) address of the operation device 1, or the like, and position information of the operation device 1. To detect.

  The state information of the operating device 1 is information indicating whether the operating state of the operating device 1 when the elevator is remotely operated by the operating device 1 is normal or abnormal.

  When the operation device 1 is configured to be operated by a maintenance person, that is, a person, the state detection unit 12 outputs information indicating whether the body condition of the maintenance person who operates the operation device 1 is normal or abnormal. It is detected as the status information of the controller 1. That is, the state information of the operating device 1 is information indicating the state of the body of the person who operates the operating device 1. In this case, the state detection unit 12 detects, for example, the acceleration or the atmospheric pressure of the operating device 1, the heart rate of the maintenance person who operates the operating device 1, or the like to determine whether the state of the maintenance person's body is normal or abnormal. Determine if there is. The state detection unit 12 may be an external activity meter or the like.

  When the operating device 1 is not configured to be operated by a person, that is, when the operating device 1 is an autonomous robot, information indicating whether the function of the operating device 1 is normal or abnormal is provided as status information of the operating device 1. To detect as.

  The control device 2 includes, for example, a microcomputer that executes arithmetic processing, a ROM (Read Only Memory) that stores data such as program data and fixed value data, and a RAM that updates stored data and is sequentially rewritten ( Random Access Memory) and the like.

  The control device 2 includes an operating device management unit 21, a priority determination unit 22, a priority assignment unit 23, and an elevator control unit 24. The function of the control device 2 is implemented in, for example, an elevator control panel provided in a machine room.

  The operation device management unit 21 holds an operation device management table for managing the status of priority given to the connection operation device, which is the operation device 1 that is communicatively connected to the control device 2. The operation device management unit 21 detects a connection operation device and acquires operation device information from each of the detected connection operation devices. As a specific example, the operation device management unit 21 detects the connection operation device by, for example, polling when the connection operation device is wirelessly connected to the connection operation device, and when the connection operation device is connected to the connection operation device by wired communication, For example, the connection operation device is detected by detecting a contact input.

  Here, the operation device management table held by the operation device management unit 21 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram showing an operation device management table held by the operation device management unit 21 in the first embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 2, the operating device management table is a table in which a connecting operating device is associated with a priority status of the connecting operating device.

  The “manipulator” shown in FIG. 2 indicates a connection manipulator that is communicatively connected to the control device 2. Here, the case where five operation devices 1 with identification numbers #1 to #5 are registered as connection operation devices is illustrated.

  The "priority grant" shown in FIG. 2 indicates the status of granting the priority to the operating device 1 registered in the "manipulator", and the "priority grant" corresponding to the operating device 1 to which the priority is granted. "" is set to "", and "0" is set to "grant priority" corresponding to the operating device 1 to which the priority is not granted. In this case, "1" is set to "grant priority" corresponding to the operation device #1, and "0" is set to "grant priority" corresponding to the remaining operation devices #2 to #5. It is illustrated.

  The priority determination unit 22 holds a priority determination table for determining the operating device 1 (hereinafter, referred to as a priority operating device) to which the priority is given among the connection operating devices. The priority determination unit 22 refers to the priority determination table to calculate the priority for each connection operating device, and based on the calculation result, selects the connection operating device with the highest priority from the connection operating devices. Determined as the priority controller.

  Here, the priority determination table held by the priority determination unit 22 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram showing the priority determination table held by the priority determination unit 22 according to the first embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 3, the priority determination table includes a connection operating device, operation device information corresponding to the connection operating device, a priority order for giving priority to the connection operating device, and a connection operation device This is a table in which the priority status is associated with the priority status.

  The “manipulator” shown in FIG. 3 indicates a connection manipulator that is communicatively connected to the control device 2. Here, the case where five operation devices 1 with identification numbers #1 to #5 are registered as connection operation devices is illustrated.

  The “manipulator information” shown in FIG. 3 indicates manipulator information acquired for each manipulator 1 registered in the “manipulator”.

  For example, when the position detection unit 11 of the operating device #1 detects that the operating device #1 is located in the pit of the elevator as position information, as shown in FIG. 3, the “operating device corresponding to the operating device #1” is displayed. The "position" of "information" becomes "pit". When the state detection unit 12 of the operating device #1 detects that the operating state of the operating device #1 is normal as the state information, as shown in FIG. 3, the “operating device corresponding to the operating device #1” is displayed. The "Status" of "Information" becomes "Normal".

  The “priority order” shown in FIG. 3 indicates the priority order calculated for each operation device 1 registered in the “operation device”.

  The rule for calculating the priority order for each connected operation device is defined in advance, and may be defined in any way. As such a rule, for example, as will be described below, according to the position information of the operating device 1, a rule of prioritizing the operating device 1 in descending order of the level of danger to the maintenance personnel can be considered.

  Specifically, the level of danger to the maintenance personnel is considered according to the position of the operation unit 1, that is, the position of the maintenance personnel who operates the operation unit 1. For example, as shown in FIG. 3, the level of danger to the maintenance personnel is defined in the order of the outside of the elevator, the elevator hall, the inside of the elevator car, the elevator car above, and the elevator pit in order. In this case, the priority is highest in the order of the operating device 1, which has a high level of risk to maintenance personnel, that is, operating device #1, operating device #3, operating device #4, operating device #2, operating device #5. They are attached in order from the top.

  In this way, when a rule in which the priority order is assigned in order from the highest operating unit 1 to the maintenance personnel in accordance with the position information of the operating unit 1 is high, the highest risk level is " The operating device #1 located in the "pit" has the highest priority, that is, the first position, and the operating device #5 located in the "outside" that has the lowest risk level has the lowest priority, that is, the fifth position. .. In this case, the operation device #1 having the highest priority is determined as the priority operation device.

  Further, if the state of the operating device 1 is not normal but abnormal, there is a possibility that an erroneous operation may be performed when the elevator is remotely operated from such operating device 1. Therefore, in the above-mentioned rules, the priority order of the operating device 1 having the abnormal state is defined to be the lowest regardless of the level of danger to the maintenance personnel. Furthermore, when the operating device 1 is an autonomous robot, an erroneous operation may occur when the elevator is remotely operated from such operating device 1. Therefore, in the above rule, the priority of the operating device 1 configured to be operated by a person is specified to be higher than the priority of the operating device 1 configured not to be operated by a human.

  "Grant priority" shown in FIG. 3 indicates a status of granting a priority to the operating device 1 registered in the "manipulator", and "priority granting" corresponding to the operating device 1 to which the priority is granted. "" is set to "", and "0" is set to "grant priority" corresponding to the operating device 1 to which the priority is not granted. In this case, "1" is set to "grant priority" corresponding to the operation device #1, and "0" is set to "grant priority" corresponding to the remaining operation devices #2 to #5. It is illustrated.

  As described above, the priority determining unit 22 assigns the priority based on the operation device information acquired for each connection operation device from the connection operation devices detected by the operation device management unit 21. To decide.

  The priority right granting unit 23 grants the priority right to the priority operation device determined by the priority right determining unit 22. In this case, the operating device 1 to which the priority is given displays that the priority is owned by the display function.

  The elevator control unit 24 controls the entire elevator. The elevator control unit 24 controls the elevator according to the elevator control signal received from the operation device 1 to which the priority right is given. On the other hand, the elevator control unit 24 ignores the elevator control signal received from the operating device 1 to which the priority is not given.

  In this way, the elevator control unit 24 controls the elevator according to the elevator control signal transmitted from the priority operation device to which the priority right is given by the priority right giving unit 23. That is, the elevator control unit 24 controls the elevator according to the elevator control signal, on condition that the operating device 1 that has transmitted the elevator control signal is given the priority. Therefore, among the plurality of operating devices 1 that are communicatively connected to the control device 2, only the operating device 1 to which the priority is given can remotely operate the elevator.

  Next, the priority granting process that the control device 2 regularly performs will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing a priority granting process performed by the elevator control device 2 according to the first embodiment of the present invention.

  In step S101, the operation device management unit 21 detects a connection operation device connected for communication. Then, the process proceeds to step S102.

  In step S102, the operating device management unit 21 determines whether or not there is an operating device that is not registered in the operating device management table among the connected operating devices detected in step S101. If it is determined in step S102 that there is an unregistered operating device in the operating device management table among the detected connected operating devices (that is, YES), the process proceeds to step S103, and otherwise. If it is determined to be NO (that is, NO), the process proceeds to step S104.

  In step S103, the operation device management unit 21 newly registers the unregistered operation device determined to exist in step S102 in the operation device management table. The operation device management unit 21 notifies the priority determination unit 22 of the operation device registered in the operation device management table. The priority determining unit 22 newly registers the operating device notified from the operating device managing unit 21 in the priority determining table. After that, the process proceeds to step S104.

  When newly registering the operation device in the operation device management table, the operation device management unit 21 sets “priority right” corresponding to the operation device to “0”. Similarly, when newly registering an operating device in the priority determining table, the priority determining unit 22 sets "grant priority" corresponding to the operating device to "0".

  In step S104, the operation device management unit 21 determines whether or not there is an operation device that is not detected in step S101 among the operation devices registered in the operation device management table. If it is determined in step S104 that there is an undetected operating device among the operating devices registered in the operating device management table (that is, YES), the process proceeds to step S105. If not (that is, NO), the process proceeds to step S106.

  In step S105, the manipulator management unit 21 deletes the manipulator not detected in step S101 from the manipulator management table. The operation device management unit 21 notifies the priority determination unit 22 of the operation device deleted from the operation device management table. The priority determining unit 22 deletes the operating device notified from the operating device managing unit 21 from the priority determining table. After that, the process proceeds to step S106.

  In step S106, the operating device management unit 21 acquires operating device information from each of the connected operating devices detected in step S101. The operating device management unit 21 notifies the priority determining unit 22 of the acquired operating device information. After that, the process proceeds to step S107.

  In this way, the operation device management unit 21 detects the connection operation device that is communicatively connected, and indicates the position information indicating the position of the operation device 1 and the state of the operation device 1 from each of the detected connection operation devices. Acquire operation device information including state information.

  In step S107, the priority determination unit 22 updates the "operation device information" in the priority determination table based on the operation device information for each connected operation device acquired in step S106. That is, the priority determining unit 22 obtains the operating device information stored in the “operating device information” of the priority determining table for each of the operating devices registered in the priority determining table in step S106. Update to the controller information. After that, the process proceeds to step S108.

  In step S108, the priority determination unit 22 refers to the priority determination table and calculates the priority for each connected operating device. The priority determination unit 22 updates the “priority” in the priority determination table based on the calculated priority for each connected operating device. That is, the priority determination unit 22 updates the priority stored in the “priority” of the priority determination table for each of the manipulators registered in the priority determination table to the calculated priority. .. After that, the process proceeds to step S109.

  In step S109, the priority determination unit 22 refers to the priority determination table and determines the connection operator having the highest priority as the priority operator to which the priority is given. The priority decision unit 22 notifies the operation device management unit 21 of the determined priority operation device. After that, the process proceeds to step S110.

  As described above, the priority determining unit 22 assigns the priority based on the operation device information acquired for each connection operation device from the connection operation devices detected by the operation device management unit 21. To decide.

  In step S110, the operation device management unit 21 updates "priority assignment" in the operation device management table based on the priority operation device determined in step S109. That is, the operation device management unit 21 sets "grant priority" corresponding to the determined priority operation device to "1" in the operation device management table, and corresponds to the remaining operation devices other than the priority operation device. "Grant priority" is set to "0". The operation device management unit 21 notifies the priority right giving unit 23 of an operation device whose “priority right grant” in the operation device management table is “1”, that is, a priority operation device. After that, the process proceeds to step S111.

  In step S111, the priority granting section 23 grants the priority to the priority control device determined in step S109, and the process ends. In this way, the priority right granting unit 23 grants the priority right to the priority operation device determined by the priority right determining unit 22.

  Next, an elevator control process performed when the control device 2 receives an elevator control signal from the operating device 1 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing elevator control processing performed by the elevator control device 2 according to the first embodiment of the present invention.

  In step S201, the manipulator management unit 21 refers to the manipulator management table to determine whether or not priority is given to the manipulator 1 that has transmitted the received elevator control signal. When it is determined in step S201 that the operating device 1 that has transmitted the elevator control signal is given priority (that is, YES), the process proceeds to step S202, and otherwise (that is, NO). If it is determined, the process ends.

  If the operating device management unit 21 determines that the operating device 1 that has transmitted the elevator control signal is given priority, the operating device management unit 21 gives the elevator control signal to the elevator control unit 24.

  In step S202, the elevator control unit 24 controls the elevator according to the elevator control signal given from the operation unit management unit 21, that is, the elevator control signal sent from the operation unit 1 to which the priority is given, and performs processing. Is the end.

  In this way, the elevator control unit 24 controls the elevator according to the elevator control signal transmitted from the priority operation device to which the priority right is given by the priority right giving unit 23.

  As described above, according to the first embodiment, the elevator control device determines the priority operation device to which the priority is given, from the detected connection operation devices based on the operation device information acquired for each connection operation device. Then, the priority is given to the determined priority operating device, and the elevator is controlled according to the elevator control signal transmitted from the priority operating device to which the priority is given.

  As a result, it is possible to automatically determine the operating device to which the authority to remotely operate the elevator is preferentially selected from among the operating devices that are connected by communication. At the same time, the operable state can be excluded. Further, when the state of the operating device to which the priority is given becomes abnormal, the destination to which the priority is given can be automatically switched to another operating device.

Embodiment 2.
In the second embodiment of the present invention, in contrast to the configuration of the first embodiment, the control of the elevator configured to further perform the priority assignment changing process when the priority request signal is received from the operation device 1. The device 2 will be described. In the second embodiment, description of the same points as in the first embodiment will be omitted, and points different from the first embodiment will be mainly described.

  In addition to the communication function, the elevator control function, and the display function described in the first embodiment, the controller 1 has a priority request function that requests the control device 2 that is communicatively connected to give priority, and a control function. When the priority change application is notified from the device 2, the priority transfer function is further provided for responding to the change approval or change refusal.

  The priority request function is realized by, for example, a GUI, a mechanical switch, or the like. When the maintenance staff wants to operate the elevator from his/her own operating device 1 to which the priority is not given, the maintenance staff needs to request the control device 2 to give the operating device 1 of the priority. In this case, the operating device 1 transmits a priority request signal to the control device 2 in accordance with the operation of the maintenance staff.

  The priority transfer function is realized by, for example, a GUI, a mechanical switch, or the like. When the control device 2 is notified of the priority change application, the maintenance staff needs to inform the control device 2 whether or not to transfer the priority right given to the own operation device 1 to another operation device 1. There is. In this case, the operation device 1 responds to the priority change application notified from the control device 2 with a change acceptance or a change rejection according to the operation of the maintenance personnel.

  When the operating device management unit 21 receives the priority request signal from the operating device 1, the operating device management unit 21 performs the priority assignment changing process.

  Next, referring to FIG. 6, a description will be given of the priority-granting changing process performed when the control device 2 receives the priority request signal from the controller 1. FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing a priority assignment change process performed by the elevator control device 2 according to the second embodiment of the present invention.

  In step S301, the operation device management unit 21 refers to the operation device management table and notifies the priority operation device to which the priority is given, of the priority change application. After that, the process proceeds to step S302. As described above, when the operation device management unit 21 receives the priority request signal from the operation device 1, the operation device management unit 21 notifies the priority operation device of the priority change request.

  In step S302, the operation device management unit 21 determines whether or not the response to the priority change application notified in step S301 is returned from the priority operation device. When it is determined in step S302 that the response to the priority change application has been returned (that is, YES), the process proceeds to step S303, and when it is determined that it is not (that is, NO), It returns to step S302.

  In step S303, the operation device management unit 21 determines whether the content of the response to the priority change application notified in step S301 is change approval or change refusal. In step S303, if the content of the response is the change approval, the process proceeds to step S305, and if the content of the response is the change refusal, the process proceeds to step S304.

  In step S304, the operation device management unit 21 notifies the connection operation device that has transmitted the priority request signal of refusal of priority change, and the process ends. In this case, no priority is given to the controller 1 that has transmitted the priority request signal.

  In step S305, the operation device management unit 21 updates the “priority assignment” in the operation device management table based on the connection operation device that has transmitted the priority request signal. That is, the operation device management unit 21 sets “priority grant” corresponding to the operation device 1 that has transmitted the priority request signal to “1” in the operation device management table, and the remaining operations other than that operation device 1 are performed. The "priority grant" corresponding to the container 1 is set to "0". The operation device management unit 21 assigns a priority to the operation device 1 whose “priority grant” in the operation device management table is “1”, that is, the operation device 1 that has transmitted the priority request signal, as a new priority operation device. Notify the section 23.

  In step S306, the priority right granting unit 23 grants the priority right to the connection operating device that has transmitted the priority right request signal, and the process ends. In this case, the priority right is canceled to the priority operation device that has returned the response of the change approval response to the priority right change application, and the priority is given to the connection operation device that has transmitted the priority request signal.

  As described above, when the response to the priority change request from the priority operation device is the change consent, the priority right granting unit 23 cancels the priority right assignment to the priority operation device and transmits the priority request signal. Give priority to container 1.

  As described above, according to the second embodiment, in contrast to the configuration of the first embodiment, the elevator control device, when receiving the priority request signal from the operation device, requests the priority operation device to change the priority. If the notification is given and the response to the priority change request from the priority operation unit is the change approval, the priority right is canceled to the priority operation unit and the priority is given to the operation unit that transmitted the priority request signal. Is configured. As a result, it is possible to try to switch the destination to which the priority is given from the operating device side to which the priority is not given.

Embodiment 3.
The third embodiment of the present invention differs from the first and second embodiments described above in that an elevator configured to further perform elevator emergency stop processing when an emergency stop signal is received from the operating device 1. The control device 2 will be described. In the third embodiment, description of the same points as those in the first and second embodiments is omitted, and points different from the first and second embodiments are mainly described.

  In addition to the function described in the first embodiment or the function described in the second embodiment, the operation device 1 has an emergency stop function for emergency stop of the elevator when the control device 2 is connected for communication. Is further provided.

  The emergency stop function is realized by, for example, fluctuation of the inertial sensor value, voice operation, screen operation, mechanical switch, extraction pin, or the like. When the maintenance staff wants to stop the elevator in an emergency, he/she needs to ask the control device 2 to stop the elevator. In this case, the operation device 1 transmits an emergency stop signal to the control device 2 in accordance with the operation of the maintenance personnel.

  When the operating device management unit 21 receives the emergency stop signal from the connection operating device, the operating device management unit 21 stops the elevator command regardless of whether the operating device 1 that has transmitted the emergency stop signal is given priority. Is generated and the stop command is given to the elevator controller 24.

  When the stop command is given from the operation device management unit 21, the elevator control unit 24 stops the elevator according to the stop command.

  Next, the elevator emergency stop process performed when the control device 2 receives the emergency stop signal from the operating device 1 will be described with reference to FIG. 7. FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing an elevator emergency stop process performed by the elevator control device 2 according to the third embodiment of the present invention.

  In step S401, the operation device management unit 21 generates a stop command. The operation device management unit 21 gives the generated stop command to the elevator control unit 24.
