Thus, it is possible to confirm the type of the destination elevator by simply viewing the maintenance screen.

¡Maintenance work may vary depending on the type of elevator. Specifically, for example, in the case of maintenance work, when a connection destination elevator is operated by an execution instruction output from the maintenance console 100 and the operation state of the connection destination elevator is confirmed based on the operation result, A signal (execution instruction signal) output from the maintenance console 100 to operate the destination elevator differs depending on the manufacturer that manufactured the elevator to be the connection destination elevator.

In general, the execution instruction signals are mainly classified according to the manufacturer that manufactured the elevator. When the same manufacturer's elevators perform the same operation, they are the same. It depends on the manufacturer. For this reason, when the types of elevators are classified based on the contents of the operation signal, the types of elevators are roughly classified according to the manufacturer that manufactured the elevator. An operator in charge of maintenance work for a plurality of types of elevators confirms the type (manufacturer) of the elevator for each elevator and performs the work.

If maintenance work is performed using a maintenance console that displays the same maintenance screen regardless of the manufacturer, the operation instruction signal according to the type (manufacturer) of the connected elevator is output. The operator must adjust the operation details for the maintenance console. Specifically, for example, when the connection destination elevator performs an operation of “moving the basket from the lowest floor to the highest floor”, the operator operates the maintenance console 100 according to the type of the connection destination elevator. Must be adjusted to output a signal for “moving the basket from the lowest floor to the highest floor”. In this case, the operator must remember the operation contents for each manufacturer or sequentially check them, which is troublesome.

As a countermeasure, regardless of the manufacturer, in the maintenance console that displays all the same maintenance screens, if the same operation content specifying the execution instruction for the same operation is used, a predetermined switch operation is performed prior to the maintenance work. It is necessary to select the manufacturer of the destination elevator. Even if the operation to be selected is performed, the same maintenance screen is displayed regardless of the type of destination elevator. In order to avoid this, it is necessary to confirm the type of the destination elevator frequently during maintenance work, which is troublesome. It is assumed that erroneous operations due to such annoyingness become more prominent as the urgency is higher.

On the other hand, according to the maintenance console 100 of this embodiment, when the maintenance work starts, that is, when the maintenance console 100 and the control board of the elevator are connected, the type of the elevator is confirmed, and “UP” By performing an input operation on the button 136, the “DN” button 137, and the “SET” button 138, a dedicated code 135 selected from among the plurality of connectors 134 (134a, 134b, 134c, 134d, 134e, and 134f) is selected. The connection destination elevator can be confirmed simply by visually checking the maintenance screen until the maintenance work is completed, simply by selecting the connector to be inserted into the plug 135a. Thereby, it is possible to prevent the troublesome operation of checking the control board of the elevator during the maintenance work or the operation of the elevator unintentionally by performing the operation while misunderstanding the connection destination.

Thereby, according to the maintenance console 100 of this embodiment, it is possible to cause each of a plurality of types of connection destination elevators to perform an operation according to the execution instruction output from the maintenance console 100. As a result, the burden on maintenance and management of the elevator can be reduced, and the safety of the elevator user can be improved. As a result, the maintenance work can be performed reliably and the safety of the elevator user can be ensured.

Further, according to the maintenance console 100 of the embodiment according to the present invention, the operation corresponding to the execution instruction output from the maintenance console 100 to each of a plurality of types of connection destination elevators using one maintenance console 100. Can be performed. Thereby, irrespective of the kind of connection destination elevator, the operation state of the connection destination elevator can be grasped using one maintenance console 100.

Then, by using the maintenance console 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention, an independent maintenance management company can perform maintenance management equivalent to that of a manufacturer or the like. As a result, the person in charge of elevator management, such as the owner of the building where the elevator is installed, is not limited to the manufacturer, etc., but is selected from a number of independent maintenance management companies and manufacturers such as manufacturers. Thus, the safety of the elevator can be ensured by performing maintenance management of the elevator.

In this way, an independent maintenance management company can perform maintenance management equivalent to that of the manufacturer, etc., ensuring the safety of the elevator, and then the manufacturer etc. monopolizes the maintenance management of the elevator. In comparison, in order to perform equivalent maintenance management, it is possible to reduce the cost (maintenance management cost) spent by the elevator manager in charge of elevator maintenance management.

In addition, by reducing the maintenance costs incurred by the person in charge of the elevator in order to perform maintenance management equivalent to that of the manufacturer, etc., the elevator operating status can be maintained at the same maintenance management cost as when the manufacturer performs maintenance management. Thus, the frequency of inspections can be increased, and the safety of the elevator user can be further improved.

Thus, according to the maintenance console 100 of the embodiment according to the present invention, it is possible to achieve both reduction in maintenance management costs and improvement in safety of elevator users.

In addition, when the maintenance console 100 according to this embodiment receives an input operation on the operation key Y displayed on the maintenance screens 510, 520, 530, 540, 550, and 560, the operation execution instruction according to the received input operation is received. Is converted into a formal language according to the type of the destination elevator and output.

According to the maintenance console 100 of the embodiment according to the present invention, the operation intended by the operator can be performed on each elevator by using one maintenance console 100 regardless of the type of connection destination elevator. Thus, the operator only needs to carry one maintenance console 100 regardless of the type of elevator in charge of the maintenance work, and the workability is improved by reducing the number of items carried during the maintenance work. Can do.

In addition, the maintenance console 100 of this embodiment has the same error content generated in the connection destination elevator regardless of the type of the connection destination elevator, separately from the maintenance screens 510, 520, 530, 540, 550, and 560. An

error display screen

610, 620, 630, 640 displayed in a format is displayed.

According to the maintenance console 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention, when an error occurs, the operator is notified of the fact on the dedicated error display screens 610, 620, 630, and 640, so that the elevator can be lifted. It is possible to quickly and surely guide that an abnormality has occurred. Thereby, the safety | security of the user of an elevator can be ensured.

Further, the maintenance console 100 of this embodiment displays the tabs Tb of the maintenance screens 510, 520, 530, 540, 550, and 560 and the tabs Tb of the error display screens 610, 620, 630, and 640, and the tabs Tb. The maintenance screens 510, 520, 530, 540, 550, and 560 and the error display screens 610, 620, 630, and 640 are switched and displayed by the above operation.

According to the maintenance console 100 of the embodiment of the present invention, the

error display screen

610, 620, 630, 640 is switched from the

maintenance screen

510, 520, 530, 540, 550, 560 to the error display screen. By notifying the occurrence of an error on 610, 620, 630, 640, it is possible to promptly and reliably guide the operator that an abnormality has occurred in the elevator. Thereby, the safety | security of the user of an elevator can be ensured.
