Abstract

When performing maintenance work, an elevator is stopped by turning on a pit stop switch, and the elevator is switched from a normal operation mode to a maintenance operation mode by a pit maintenance apparatus or an on-car maintenance apparatus. When the maintenance work is completed, the switch of the pit maintenance apparatus or the on-car maintenance apparatus is switched to the normal mode, and the pit stop switch is pressed to establish the normal operation mode. Then a maintenance worker exits from a pit or a car, closes a landing-side door, and carries out an encryption operation on the hall call button on the lowest floor. All the above-described switch operation procedures are input into a microcomputer, and, only when the sequence of all switch operation procedures matches a preset procedure sequence is the elevator returned from the maintenance operation mode to the normal operation mode.

Description

エレベーター保守制御装置及びエレベーター保守制御方法Elevator maintenance control device and elevator maintenance control method
 本発明は、エレベーター保守制御装置及びエレベーター保守制御方法に関する。 The present invention relates to an elevator maintenance control device and an elevator maintenance control method.
 エレベーターには建物の屋上に機械室(MR:Machine Room)があるものと、建物の上の機械室をなくしたもの(MRL:Machine Room Less)がある。MRのエレベーターでは、機械室内にエレベーターを制御する制御盤が設けられているが、MRLのエレベーターでは、昇降路内にエレベーターを制御する制御盤が設けられている。 There are two types of elevators: a machine room (MR: Machine Room) on the roof of the building and a machine room (MRL: Machine Room Less) on the building. In the MR elevator, a control panel for controlling the elevator is provided in the machine room. In the MRL elevator, a control panel for controlling the elevator is provided in the hoistway.
 MRあるいはMRLを問わず、エレベーターの保守作業を行う場合には、保守員によりピット内で保守作業を行う場合と、エレベーターかご上で保守作業を行う場合とが考えられる。従来、ピットにて保守作業を行う場合には、ピット内に設置する停止スイッチを押下して(入れて)エレベーターかごを停止させる。そして、ピット内に運転モード切替スイッチがある場合、このスイッチを保守運転モードに切り替えて、保守作業を行っていた。
 また、エレベーター用欧州規格であるEN81-20/50内の新規追加項目として、ピット保守作業から通常運転に復帰する際、ピット外部での操作後に復帰するという要求もある。
When performing maintenance work on an elevator regardless of whether it is MR or MRL, it can be considered that maintenance work is performed in a pit by a maintenance worker or maintenance work is performed on an elevator car. Conventionally, when performing maintenance work in a pit, the elevator car is stopped by pressing (inserting) a stop switch installed in the pit. When there is an operation mode switch in the pit, the switch is switched to the maintenance operation mode to perform maintenance work.
In addition, as a newly added item in EN81-20 / 50, which is the European standard for elevators, when returning from pit maintenance work to normal operation, there is also a request to return after operation outside the pit.
 特許文献1には、通常運転から点検(保守)運転に切り替えて点検を行うエレベーター装置であって、点検を行う際の作業者の安全と、その後の通常運転を行う際の安全性を高めたエレベーター装置が開示されている。
 特許文献1に記載の技術は、通常運転と点検運転を切り替える切替スイッチと、点検側と通常側とを切り替える点検運転スイッチを有する点検運転装置を設け、点検運転スイッチが点検側に操作されると点検運転としてかごを上昇または下降させる。
Patent Document 1 discloses an elevator apparatus that performs inspection by switching from normal operation to inspection (maintenance) operation, and improves the safety of the worker during the inspection and the safety during the subsequent normal operation. An elevator apparatus is disclosed.
The technique described in Patent Document 1 is provided with an inspection operation device having a changeover switch for switching between normal operation and inspection operation and an inspection operation switch for switching between the inspection side and the normal side, and when the inspection operation switch is operated to the inspection side. Raise or lower the car as a check operation.
 また、特許文献1に記載の技術は、エレベーターコントローラとは独立にブレーキ電源や動力電源を遮断して乗りかごを制動させる安全コントローラを設けている。そして、この安全コントローラは、切替スイッチが点検運転に切り替えられた場合に通常運転を無効にして、点検運転を有効とするようにエレベーターを制御している。 Also, the technology described in Patent Document 1 is provided with a safety controller that brakes the car by cutting off the brake power source and the power source independently of the elevator controller. The safety controller controls the elevator so that the normal operation is invalidated and the inspection operation is validated when the changeover switch is switched to the inspection operation.

 しかしながら、従来のエレベーター装置では、保守員がピットにいる状態であっても、誤ってピット内(またはかご上)の切替スイッチを押してしまい、その結果、保守員の意図とは関係なく、保守状態から通常状態に復帰させてしまうことがあった。そして、ピット内のモード切替スイッチを通常運転モードに戻すと、エレベーターが保守運転モードから通常運転モードに復帰し、乗りかごが自動で動いてしまうため、保守員の安全性が危惧されるという問題があった。 However, in conventional elevator equipment, even when maintenance personnel are in the pit, the switch in the pit (or on the car) is accidentally pressed, resulting in maintenance status regardless of the maintenance staff's intention. Sometimes returned to normal. And if the mode switch in the pit is returned to the normal operation mode, the elevator will return to the normal operation mode from the maintenance operation mode, and the car will move automatically. there were.

<Connection and operation of each switch and microcomputer of elevator maintenance control device of this example>
Referring to FIG. 2, the connection relationship between landing door 14, hall call buttons 16, 17, pit stop device 18, pit maintenance device 19, on-car maintenance device 20, and microcomputer 21 in the elevator maintenance control device of this example. Will be described.
The landing-side door 14 has a landing-side door switch contact 14a installed on a door on each floor, and hall call buttons 16 and 17 on each floor including the lowest floor also have hall call button switch contacts 16a installed on each floor. , 17a. The pit stop device 18 has a pit stop switch contact 18a, and the pit maintenance device 19 has a pit maintenance changeover switch contact 19a. Similarly, the car maintenance device 20 has a car maintenance changeover switch contact 20a.
 乗り場側ドアスイッチ接点14aは、乗り場側ドアスイッチ入力バッファ14bに接続され、各階のホール呼び釦16、17は、ホール呼び釦スイッチ接点16a、17aに接続される。また、ピット停止スイッチ接点18aはピット停止スイッチ入力バッファ18bに接続される。 The landing-side door switch contact 14a is connected to the landing-side door switch input buffer 14b, and the hall call buttons 16 and 17 on each floor are connected to the hall call button switch contacts 16a and 17a. The pit stop switch contact 18a is connected to the pit stop switch input buffer 18b.
 ピット保守切替スイッチ接点19aは、通常運転モードではピット保守切替スイッチ通常側入力バッファ19bに接続され、保守運転モードではピット保守切替スイッチ保守側入力バッファ19cに接続される。
 同様に、かご上保守切替スイッチ接点20aも、通常運転モードではかご上保守切替スイッチ通常側入力バッファ20bに接続され、保守運転モードではかご上保守切替スイッチ保守側入力バッファ20cに接続される。
The pit maintenance changeover switch contact 19a is connected to the pit maintenance changeover switch normal side input buffer 19b in the normal operation mode, and is connected to the pit maintenance changeover switch maintenance side input buffer 19c in the maintenance operation mode.

 上述した各切替スイッチ接点には、共通電源から電流制限抵抗(符号無し)を介して電流が供給され、各切替スイッチの接点が閉じると、それに接続されたそれぞれの入力バッファをオンにして、マイコン21に信号を供給するようになっている。以下、各切替スイッチのオン、オフとマイコン21の制御動作を説明する。 Current is supplied to each changeover switch contact point from a common power source through a current limiting resistor (no sign). When the contact point of each changeover switch is closed, each input buffer connected thereto is turned on, and the microcomputer is turned on. 21 is supplied with a signal. Hereinafter, ON / OFF of each changeover switch and the control operation of the microcomputer 21 will be described.
 本例のエレベーター保守制御装置における、乗り場側ドア14の切替スイッチ接点14aのオン、オフの状態が、乗り場側ドア切替スイッチバッファ14bを介してマイコン21に取り込まれる。すなわち、乗り場側ドア切替スイッチバッファ14bは、乗り場側ドア切替スイッチ接点14aがオンの時に導通し、切替スイッチ接点14aがオンされたことがマイコン21に取り込まれる。 In the elevator maintenance control device of this example, the ON / OFF state of the changeover switch contact 14a of the landing side door 14 is taken into the microcomputer 21 via the landing side door changeover switch buffer 14b. That is, the landing-side door changeover switch buffer 14b is turned on when the landing-side door changeover switch contact 14a is turned on, and the fact that the changeover switch contact 14a is turned on is taken into the microcomputer 21.

When the pit stop device 18 is pressed (turned on), the elevator car 11 is stopped and maintenance work for the elevator is started.
Then, the pit maintenance changeover switch contact 19a of the pit maintenance device 19 is switched to the maintenance operation mode, and a signal indicating that the pit maintenance changeover switch maintenance side buffer 19c is turned on is taken into the microcomputer 21.
 同様に、かご上保守切替スイッチ接点20aの状態は、かご上保守切替スイッチ通常側バッファ20bまたはかご上保守切替スイッチ保守側バッファ20cを介してマイコン21に取り込まれる。
 上述したように、ピット保守装置19とかご上保守装置20は、同一の切替スイッチ群で構成されている。つまり、保守作業を行う保守員は、ピット15内で保守作業を行う場合には、ピット保守装置19を用い、エレベーター乗りかご11のかご上で保守作業を行う場合は、かご上保守装置20を用いて保守作業を行う。
Similarly, the state of the car maintenance switch switch contact 20a is taken into the microcomputer 21 through the car maintenance switch normal buffer 20b or the car maintenance switch maintenance buffer 20c.
As described above, the pit maintenance device 19 and the car maintenance device 20 are configured by the same changeover switch group. That is, a maintenance worker who performs maintenance work uses the pit maintenance device 19 when performing maintenance work in the pit 15, and uses the on-car maintenance device 20 when performing maintenance work on the elevator car 11.

The signal acquisition order determination unit 44 determines whether or not the switching order of the changeover switch contacts stored in the storage unit 43 has been performed in the normal switching procedure when performing maintenance work. Note that the determination by the signal acquisition order determination unit 44 is performed only when the mode switching unit 42 switches to the maintenance operation mode.
 情報出力部45は、信号取得順判定部44で取得した各スイッチの切り替えの順番が、予め定められた正規の取得順と異なった場合に、不図示の制御盤の表示部に警告を示すトラブル表示を行う。一方、通常運転復帰部46は、信号取得順判定部44で信号を取得した順番が、予め定められた正規の取得順と一致した場合に、保守運転モードから通常運転モードに切り替える。 The information output unit 45 is configured to display a warning on a display unit of a control panel (not shown) when the switching order of the switches acquired by the signal acquisition order determination unit 44 is different from a predetermined normal acquisition order. Display. On the other hand, the normal operation return unit 46 switches from the maintenance operation mode to the normal operation mode when the order in which the signals are acquired by the signal acquisition order determination unit 44 matches the predetermined normal acquisition order.
<本例のエレベーター保守制御装置の処理の流れ>
 次に、図5のフローチャートを参照して、本例のエレベーター保守制御装置が保守運転モードから通常運転モードに復帰する手順(処理の流れ)について説明する。
 図5に示すように、処理が開始されると、まずピット15における保守作業(以下、「ピット保守作業」という)が開始されたか否かが判断される(ステップS51)。ピット保守作業が開始されていない場合(ステップS51のNo)には、そのまま処理を終了する。
<Processing flow of elevator maintenance control device of this example>
Next, with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 5, the procedure (process flow) in which the elevator maintenance control apparatus of this example returns from the maintenance operation mode to the normal operation mode will be described.
As shown in FIG. 5, when the process is started, it is first determined whether or not a maintenance work in the pit 15 (hereinafter referred to as “pit maintenance work”) has been started (step S51). If the pit maintenance work has not been started (No in step S51), the process is terminated as it is.
 ステップS51でピット保守作業が開始されたと判断された場合(ステップS51のYes)には、保守員が最下階の乗り場側ドア14を開く(ステップS52)。このとき、乗り場側ドアスイッチの接点14aがオフ(開)となり、乗り場側スイッチ入力バッファ14bはオフに制御される。そして、記憶部43に、乗り場側ドアスイッチの切替接点14aはオフであることが記憶される。 If it is determined in step S51 that the pit maintenance work has been started (Yes in step S51), the maintenance person opens the landing side door 14 on the lowest floor (step S52). At this time, the contact 14a of the landing side door switch is turned off (opened), and the landing side switch input buffer 14b is controlled to be turned off. And the memory | storage part 43 memorize | stores that the switching contact 14a of the landing side door switch is OFF.
 そして、保守員がピット15に侵入して(ステップS53)、保守作業が開始される。保守作業が開始されると、まず保守員がピット停止装置18を押下して(入れて)エレベーターを停止状態にする(ステップS54)。すなわち、ピット停止スイッチ切替接点18bがオンになり、その結果ピット停止スイッチ入力バッファ18bがオンとなる。そして、ピット停止スイッチ切替接点18bがオンとなっていることが、記憶部43に記憶される。ピット停止スイッチ切替接点18bがオンになると、エレベーター乗りかご11は保守作業のために停止する。 Then, maintenance personnel enter the pit 15 (step S53), and maintenance work is started. When the maintenance work is started, first, the maintenance staff depresses (puts in) the pit stop device 18 to stop the elevator (step S54). That is, the pit stop switch switching contact 18b is turned on, and as a result, the pit stop switch input buffer 18b is turned on. Then, the storage unit 43 stores that the pit stop switch switching contact 18b is on. When the pit stop switch switching contact 18b is turned on, the elevator car 11 stops for maintenance work.
 次に、ピット保守装置19により、ピット保守切替スイッチ接点19aを保守運転モード側に切り替える(ステップS55)。すると、ピット保守装置19のピット保守切替スイッチ保守側入力バッファ19cがオンになり、ピット保守装置19のピット保守切替スイッチ通常側入力バッファ19bがオフになる。なお、かご上保守装置20のかご上保守切替スイッチ接点20aは保守運転モードに切り替わることがなく、通常運転モードのままとなる。つまり、図2のかご上保守装置20では、かご上保守切替スイッチ保守側入力バッファ20cはオフの状態が維持され、かご上保守切替スイッチ通常側入力バッファ20bがオンとなった状態が維持される。この状態で保守員によるピット保守作業が行われる。 Next, the pit maintenance switching switch contact 19a is switched to the maintenance operation mode side by the pit maintenance device 19 (step S55). Then, the pit maintenance changeover switch maintenance side input buffer 19c of the pit maintenance device 19 is turned on, and the pit maintenance changeover switch normal side input buffer 19b of the pit maintenance device 19 is turned off. The on-car maintenance switch switch contact 20a of the on-car maintenance device 20 does not switch to the maintenance operation mode and remains in the normal operation mode. That is, in the on-car maintenance device 20 of FIG. 2, the on-car maintenance switch maintenance side input buffer 20c is maintained in an off state, and the on-car maintenance switch normal side input buffer 20b is maintained in an on state. . In this state, pit maintenance work is performed by maintenance personnel.
 次に、保守員による保守作業が完了したか否かが判断される(ステップS56)。ステップS56で保守作業が完了したと判断された場合には、ピット保守装置19のピット保守切替スイッチ接点19aを通常運転モードに切り替える(ステップS57)。すなわち、ピット保守装置19のピット保守切替スイッチ接点保守側入力バッファ19cがオフとなり、ピット保守装置19のピット保守切替スイッチ接点通常側入力バッファ19bがオンとなる。このときも、かご上保守装置20の切替スイッチ接点20aは、通常運転モードのままである。つまり、保守運転モード側のかご上保守切替スイッチ保守側入力バッファ20cはオフであり、かご上保守切替スイッチ通常側入力バッファ20bがオンになっている。 Next, it is determined whether or not the maintenance work by the maintenance staff has been completed (step S56). If it is determined in step S56 that the maintenance work has been completed, the pit maintenance switching switch contact 19a of the pit maintenance device 19 is switched to the normal operation mode (step S57). That is, the pit maintenance switching switch contact maintenance side input buffer 19c of the pit maintenance device 19 is turned off, and the pit maintenance switching switch contact normal side input buffer 19b of the pit maintenance device 19 is turned on. Also at this time, the changeover switch contact 20a of the car maintenance device 20 remains in the normal operation mode. That is, the maintenance input switch 20c on the maintenance switch on the maintenance operation mode side is off, and the maintenance input switch 20b on the maintenance switch normal side input buffer 20b is on.
 次に、ピット停止装置18のピット停止スイッチ接点18aを元に戻し、エレベーターを保守状態モードから通常状態モードに復旧させる(ステップS58)。そして、保守員がピット15から脱出して、乗り場側ドア14を閉める(ステップS59)。このとき、乗り場側ドアスイッチ接点14aは閉じられるので、乗り場側切替スイッチ入力バッファ14bはオンになる。
 続いて、保守員は最下階のホール呼び釦17を用いての暗号操作を行う(ステップS60)。ここで暗号操作とは、エレベーターの保守に携わる保守員の間で予め決めておく操作を言い、例えば、ホール呼び釦16を1秒間に2回押すといった約束事を意味している。
Next, the pit stop switch contact 18a of the pit stop device 18 is returned to its original position, and the elevator is restored from the maintenance state mode to the normal state mode (step S58). Then, the maintenance staff escapes from the pit 15 and closes the landing side door 14 (step S59). At this time, since the landing side door switch contact 14a is closed, the landing side changeover switch input buffer 14b is turned on.
Subsequently, the maintenance staff performs a cryptographic operation using the hall call button 17 on the lowest floor (step S60). Here, the cryptographic operation means an operation determined in advance by maintenance personnel engaged in maintenance of the elevator, and means, for example, a promise that the hall call button 16 is pressed twice per second.
 上述したように、図5には、保守運転モードにおける保守員の操作手順として正規の手順が記載されているが、実際にはこの手順道理に操作が行われない場合がある。このことを示す意味で、図5ではステップS54、S55及びステップS57~S60を点線で囲んで記載し、全体を太い実線で囲んで示している。保守作業を行う保守員も人間であるから、決して間違いがないとは言えない。本発明は保守員が作業手順を間違っても、保守員の安全性が確保できるようにすることを目指している。 As described above, FIG. 5 shows a regular procedure as an operation procedure of the maintenance staff in the maintenance operation mode. However, there is a case where the operation is not actually performed in practice. In order to indicate this, in FIG. 5, steps S54, S55 and steps S57 to S60 are shown surrounded by a dotted line, and the whole is shown surrounded by a thick solid line. Since maintenance personnel who perform maintenance work are also humans, it cannot be said that there is no mistake. The present invention aims to ensure the safety of the maintenance staff even if the maintenance staff makes a mistake in the work procedure.
 上述した保守員の操作を正規の操作手順として列挙すると以下のとおりである。
(1)ピット停止装置18のピット停止スイッチ接点18aを押下して(入れて)保守運転モード対応とする:ステップS54、
(2)ピット保守装置19のピット保守切替スイッチ接点19aを保守運転モードに切り替える:ステップS55、
(3)保守作業終了後、ピット保守装置19のピット保守切替スイッチ接点19aを通常運転モードに切り替える:ステップS57、
(4)ピット停止装置18のピット停止スイッチ接点18aを押下して(元に戻して)通常運転モード対応とする:ステップS58、
(5)保守員がピットから脱出して、乗り場側ドアを閉める:ステップS59、
(6)保守員が最下階のホール呼び釦17を暗号操作する:ステップS60。
The maintenance personnel operations described above are listed as regular operating procedures as follows.
(1) The pit stop switch contact 18a of the pit stop device 18 is depressed (inserted) to correspond to the maintenance operation mode: Step S54,
(2) Switching the pit maintenance switching switch contact 19a of the pit maintenance device 19 to the maintenance operation mode: Step S55,
(3) After the maintenance work is completed, the pit maintenance changeover switch contact 19a of the pit maintenance device 19 is switched to the normal operation mode: Step S57,
(4) The pit stop switch contact 18a of the pit stop device 18 is depressed (returned to the original state) to correspond to the normal operation mode: Step S58,
(5) The maintenance staff escapes from the pit and closes the landing side door: Step S59,
(6) The maintenance staff performs a cryptographic operation on the hall call button 17 on the lowest floor: Step S60.
 次に、以上の操作が終わると、マイコン21の信号取得順判定部44は、保守モードの操作が、上記(1)~(6)の手順に従って行われた否かを判断する(ステップS61)。このステップS61の判断では、信号取得順判定部44は、保守員による実際の操作が、予め定められた正規の手順に従って行われたか否かを判断する。 Next, when the above operation is completed, the signal acquisition order determination unit 44 of the microcomputer 21 determines whether or not the operation in the maintenance mode has been performed according to the procedures (1) to (6) (step S61). . In the determination in step S61, the signal acquisition order determination unit 44 determines whether the actual operation by the maintenance staff has been performed according to a predetermined regular procedure.
 そして、ステップS61で保守運転モードの操作が手順(1)~(6)に従って行われていないと判断されると(ステップS61のNo)、マイコン21の情報出力部45は、不図示の制御盤にトラブルが発生した旨の表示を行う(ステップS62)。例えば、「正規の手順に従って通常運転の復帰操作が行われませんでした。正規の手順で再度操作を行って下さい。」といった表示がなされる。あるいは、上記のようなメッセージに代えて、正規の手順で行われていない旨の表示を、ランプ等を用いて行うようにしてもよい。 When it is determined in step S61 that the operation in the maintenance operation mode is not performed according to the procedures (1) to (6) (No in step S61), the information output unit 45 of the microcomputer 21 controls the control panel (not shown). Is displayed to indicate that a trouble has occurred (step S62). For example, a message such as “Return operation of normal operation was not performed according to the regular procedure. Please perform the operation again according to the regular procedure.” Is displayed. Alternatively, instead of the message as described above, a display indicating that the normal procedure is not performed may be performed using a lamp or the like.
 ステップS62で制御盤にトラブル表示がなされると、保守員により上記(1)~(6)に示した正規の操作手順でやり直しが行われる(ステップS63)。そして、再びステップS61で保守作業の操作が正規の手順(1)~(6)に従って行われたか否かが判断される。ステップS61で正規の操作手順で操作が行われたと判断された場合(ステップS61のYes)には、エレベーターの運転を保守運転モードから通常運転モードに復帰させて(ステップS64)、処理を終了する。 When a trouble is displayed on the control panel in step S62, maintenance is performed again by the normal operation procedure shown in the above (1) to (6) (step S63). In step S61, it is again determined whether or not the maintenance operation has been performed according to the regular procedures (1) to (6). If it is determined in step S61 that the operation has been performed according to the normal operation procedure (Yes in step S61), the elevator operation is returned from the maintenance operation mode to the normal operation mode (step S64), and the process is terminated. .
 なお、図5のフローチャートに示したエレベーター保守作業の流れは、保守員がピット15に入ってピット保守装置19を用いて行う作業として説明したが、ピット保守装置19の代わりにかご上保守装置20を用いて保守作業を行うことも可能である。その場合には、かご上保守装置20を用いて保守運転モードと通常運転モードの切り替えを行うことになるが、実態はピット保守装置19を用いた場合と変わらない。 The elevator maintenance work flow shown in the flowchart of FIG. 5 has been described as a work performed by a maintenance worker entering the pit 15 and using the pit maintenance device 19, but the on-car maintenance device 20 instead of the pit maintenance device 19 is described. It is also possible to perform maintenance work using. In this case, the maintenance operation mode and the normal operation mode are switched using the car maintenance device 20, but the actual situation is not different from the case where the pit maintenance device 19 is used.
