実施の形態１．
　図１は、実施の形態１におけるエレベーターシステムの例を示す図である。図１に示すエレベーターシステムは、エレベーター１、及びデータセンター２を備える。エレベーター１とデータセンター２とは、通信ネットワーク３を介して通信が可能である。エレベーター１とデータセンター２とが通信を行う方式は、如何なる方式であっても良い。図２は、エレベーター１に備えられた機器の接続例を示す図である。 Embodiment 1 FIG.
FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating an example of an elevator system according to the first embodiment. The elevator system shown in FIG. 1 includes an elevator 1 and a data center 2. The elevator 1 and the data center 2 can communicate with each other via a communication network 3. The system in which the elevator 1 communicates with the data center 2 may be any system. FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating a connection example of devices provided in the elevator 1.
　エレベーター１は、例えばかご１０及びつり合いおもり１１を備える。かご１０は、昇降路１２を上下に移動する。つり合いおもり１１は、昇降路１２を上下に移動する。かご１０及びつり合いおもり１１は、主ロープ１３によって昇降路１２に吊り下げられる。 The elevator 1 includes, for example, a car 10 and a counterweight 11. The car 10 moves up and down the hoistway 12. The counterweight 11 moves up and down the hoistway 12. The car 10 and the counterweight 11 are suspended from the hoistway 12 by the main rope 13.
　巻上機１４は、駆動綱車１５、電動機１６、及びブレーキ装置１７を備える。駆動綱車１５に主ロープ１３が巻き掛けられる。電動機１６は、駆動綱車１５を駆動する。電動機１６は、制御装置１８によって制御される。即ち、制御装置１８は、駆動綱車１５の回転及び停止を制御する。駆動綱車１５の回転に応じてかご１０は移動する。駆動綱車１５が回転していなければ、かご１０は停止する。電動機１６の回転軸にエンコーダ（図示せず）が設けられる。電動機１６が回転すると、回転方向及び回転角度を示す回転信号がエンコーダから出力される。エンコーダから出力された回転信号は、制御装置１８に入力される。 The hoisting machine 14 includes a drive sheave 15, an electric motor 16, and a brake device 17. The main rope 13 is wound around the drive sheave 15. The electric motor 16 drives the drive sheave 15. The electric motor 16 is controlled by the control device 18. That is, the control device 18 controls the rotation and stop of the drive sheave 15. The car 10 moves according to the rotation of the drive sheave 15. If the drive sheave 15 is not rotating, the car 10 stops. An encoder (not shown) is provided on a rotating shaft of the electric motor 16. When the electric motor 16 rotates, a rotation signal indicating a rotation direction and a rotation angle is output from the encoder. The rotation signal output from the encoder is input to the control device 18.
　ブレーキ装置１７は、かご１０を静止保持するための装置である。ブレーキ装置１７は、制御装置１８によって制御される。通常運転では、ブレーキ装置１７は、駆動綱車１５が停止してから動作する。ブレーキ装置１７が動作すると、駆動綱車１５に連動する部材に対して、駆動綱車１５の回転を阻止するように力が加えられる。 The brake device 17 is a device for holding the car 10 stationary. The brake device 17 is controlled by the control device 18. In normal operation, the brake device 17 operates after the drive sheave 15 stops. When the brake device 17 operates, a force is applied to a member interlocking with the drive sheave 15 so as to prevent the rotation of the drive sheave 15.
　調速機１９は、かご１０の下降速度が特定の第１基準速度を超えると、かご１０に備えられた非常止め２０を動作させる。調速機１９は、例えば調速ロープ２１、調速綱車２２、及び張り車２３を備える。調速ロープ２１は、かご１０に連結される。調速ロープ２１は、調速綱車２２及び張り車２３に巻き掛けられる。かご１０が移動すると、調速ロープ２１が移動する。調速ロープ２１が移動すると、調速綱車２２及び張り車２３が回転する。調速綱車２２の回転軸にエンコーダが設けられても良い。この場合、調速綱車２２の回転方向及び回転角度を示す回転信号がエンコーダから出力される。エンコーダから出力された回転信号は、制御装置１８に入力される。 The governor 19 operates the emergency stop 20 provided in the car 10 when the descending speed of the car 10 exceeds a specific first reference speed. The governor 19 includes, for example, a governor rope 21, a governor sheave 22, and a tension sheave 23. The governing rope 21 is connected to the car 10. The speed control rope 21 is wound around a speed control sheave 22 and a tension sheave 23. When the car 10 moves, the governing rope 21 moves. When the speed control rope 21 moves, the speed control sheave 22 and the tension sheave 23 rotate. An encoder may be provided on the rotation shaft of the governing sheave 22. In this case, a rotation signal indicating the rotation direction and the rotation angle of the governor sheave 22 is output from the encoder. The rotation signal output from the encoder is input to the control device 18.
　安全装置２４は、例えば昇降路１２に設けられる。安全装置２４は、かご１０が特定の第２基準速度より速い速度で終端階に進入した際に、かご１０を強制的に停止させる。図１に示す例では、かご１０が第２基準速度より速い速度で特定の位置を上方に通過すると、安全装置２４が動作する。安全装置２４が動作すると電動機１６の減速が強制的に開始される。これにより、駆動綱車１５が停止する。即ち、かご１０が停止する。 The safety device 24 is provided, for example, on the hoistway 12. The safety device 24 forcibly stops the car 10 when the car 10 enters the terminal floor at a speed higher than a specific second reference speed. In the example shown in FIG. 1, when the car 10 passes above a specific position at a speed higher than the second reference speed, the safety device 24 operates. When the safety device 24 operates, the deceleration of the electric motor 16 is forcibly started. Thereby, the drive sheave 15 stops. That is, the car 10 stops.
　バッテリー２５は、停電時にかご１０にいる乗客を最寄り階に降ろすために使用される。例えば、停電が発生すると、バッテリー２５からの電力が制御装置１８、巻上機１４、及びかご１０に供給される。 The battery 25 is used to bring the passengers in the car 10 down to the nearest floor during a power outage. For example, when a power failure occurs, power from the battery 25 is supplied to the control device 18, the hoist 14, and the car 10.
　通信装置２６は、データセンター２と通信する。通信装置２６は、制御装置１８に接続される。通信装置２６がデータセンター２と通信を行う方式は、如何なる方式であっても良い。 The communication device 26 communicates with the data center 2. The communication device 26 is connected to the control device 18. The method by which the communication device 26 communicates with the data center 2 may be any method.
　図１は、巻上機１４、制御装置１８、バッテリー２５、及び通信装置２６が昇降路１２に設けられる例を示す。エレベーター１が機械室を備える場合、巻上機１４、制御装置１８、バッテリー２５、及び通信装置２６は、機械室に設けられても良い。巻上機１４、制御装置１８、バッテリー２５、及び通信装置２６の一部が機械室に設けられても良い。 FIG. 1 shows an example in which the hoisting machine 14, the control device 18, the battery 25, and the communication device 26 are provided in the hoistway 12. When the elevator 1 includes a machine room, the hoist 14, the control device 18, the battery 25, and the communication device 26 may be provided in the machine room. A part of the hoisting machine 14, the control device 18, the battery 25, and the communication device 26 may be provided in the machine room.
　図２に示すように、制御装置１８は、例えば運転制御部３０、計測部３１、及び温度取得部３２を備える。以下に、図３及び図４も参照し、制御装置１８が備える機能について説明する。図３は、制御装置１８の動作例を示すフローチャートである。 制 御 As shown in FIG. 2, the control device 18 includes, for example, an operation control unit 30, a measurement unit 31, and a temperature acquisition unit 32. The functions of the control device 18 will be described below with reference to FIGS. FIG. 3 is a flowchart illustrating an operation example of the control device 18.
　制御装置１８では、開始条件が成立したか否かが判定される（Ｓ１０１）。開始条件は、診断運転を開始するための条件である。開始条件は、予め設定される。開始条件が成立していなければ、運転制御部３０は、例えば通常運転を制御する。通常運転では、運転制御部３０は、登録された呼びにかご１０を順次応答させる。 The control device 18 determines whether or not the start condition is satisfied (S101). The start condition is a condition for starting the diagnostic operation. The start condition is set in advance. If the start condition is not satisfied, the operation control unit 30 controls, for example, normal operation. In normal operation, the operation control unit 30 causes the car 10 to sequentially respond to the registered call.
　一例として、診断運転は定期的に行われる。例えば、毎月１０日の午前１時になると、開始条件が成立する。他の例として、診断運転は不定期に行われる。例えば、通信装置２６が外部から特定の信号を受信すると、開始条件が成立する。開始条件が成立すると、運転制御部３０は、診断運転を開始する（Ｓ１０２）。診断運転は、エレベーター１に備えられた機器に異常があるか否かを判定するために行なわれる。 診断 As an example, the diagnostic operation is performed periodically. For example, at 1:00 am on the 10th of every month, the start condition is satisfied. As another example, the diagnostic operation is performed irregularly. For example, when the communication device 26 receives a specific signal from the outside, the start condition is satisfied. When the start condition is satisfied, the operation control unit 30 starts the diagnostic operation (S102). The diagnostic operation is performed to determine whether there is an abnormality in the equipment provided in the elevator 1.
　運転制御部３０は、例えば、診断運転において特定の機器を用いてかご１０に特定の動作を行わせる。計測部３１は、診断運転において特定の値を計測する（Ｓ１０３）。例えば、計測部３１は、かご１０の動作に関する値或いは上記機器に関する値を計測する。計測部３１によって計測された値は、異常の有無を判定するために使用される。 The operation control unit 30 causes the car 10 to perform a specific operation using a specific device in the diagnostic operation, for example. The measurement unit 31 measures a specific value in the diagnostic operation (S103). For example, the measuring unit 31 measures a value related to the operation of the car 10 or a value related to the device. The value measured by the measuring unit 31 is used to determine the presence or absence of an abnormality.
　一例として、運転制御部３０は、診断運転においてバッテリー２５を用いてかご１０に特定の動作を行わせる。例えば、運転制御部３０は、バッテリー２５からの電力により、かご１０に特定の走行を行わせる。診断運転において上記特定の走行が行われている間、バッテリー２５の電圧値が計測部３１によって計測される。計測部３１によって計測されたバッテリー２５の最小電圧値Ｖｍｉｎが基準値を下回ると、異常が判定される。 As an example, the operation control unit 30 causes the car 10 to perform a specific operation using the battery 25 in the diagnostic operation. For example, the operation control unit 30 causes the car 10 to perform a specific traveling using the electric power from the battery 25. During the diagnosis run, the voltage value of the battery 25 is measured by the measuring unit 31 while the specific traveling is being performed. When the minimum voltage value Vmin of the battery 25 measured by the measuring unit 31 falls below the reference value, an abnormality is determined.
　他の例として、運転制御部３０は、診断運転においてブレーキ装置１７を用いてかご１０に特定の動作を行わせる。例えば、運転制御部３０は、かご１０を特定の方向に特定の速度で移動させる。運転制御部３０は、かご１０が上記特定の速度で移動している時に、ブレーキ装置１７を動作させる。ブレーキ装置１７が動作するとかご１０が減速を開始し、その後にかご１０は停止する。計測部３１は、ブレーキ装置１７が動作してからかご１０が停止するまでにかご１０が移動した距離を計測する。以下においては、この距離のことを移動距離Ｌ１とも表記する。例えば、移動距離Ｌ１の計測は、電動機１６の回転軸に設けられたエンコーダからの回転信号に基づいて行われる。調速綱車２２の回転軸にエンコーダが設けられる場合は、移動距離Ｌ１の計測は、調速綱車２２の回転軸に設けられたエンコーダからの回転信号に基づいて行われても良い。計測部３１によって計測された移動距離Ｌ１が基準値を上回ると、異常が判定される。 As another example, the operation control unit 30 causes the car 10 to perform a specific operation using the brake device 17 in the diagnostic operation. For example, the operation control unit 30 moves the car 10 in a specific direction at a specific speed. The operation control unit 30 operates the brake device 17 when the car 10 is moving at the specific speed. When the brake device 17 operates, the car 10 starts to decelerate, and thereafter the car 10 stops. The measuring unit 31 measures a distance that the car 10 has moved from when the brake device 17 operates to when the car 10 stops. Hereinafter, this distance is also referred to as a moving distance L1. For example, the measurement of the movement distance L1 is performed based on a rotation signal from an encoder provided on a rotation shaft of the electric motor 16. When an encoder is provided on the rotation shaft of the governing sheave 22, the measurement of the moving distance L1 may be performed based on a rotation signal from an encoder provided on the rotating shaft of the governing sheave 22. When the moving distance L1 measured by the measuring unit 31 exceeds the reference value, an abnormality is determined.
　他の例として、運転制御部３０は、診断運転において安全装置２４を用いてかご１０に特定の動作を行わせる。例えば、運転制御部３０は、かご１０を第２基準速度より速い特定の速度で終端階に進入させる。これにより、安全装置２４が動作する。計測部３１は、安全装置２４が動作してからかご１０が停止するまでにかご１０が移動した距離を計測する。以下においては、この距離のことを移動距離Ｌ２とも表記する。例えば、移動距離Ｌ２の計測は、電動機１６の回転軸に設けられたエンコーダからの回転信号に基づいて行われる。調速綱車２２の回転軸にエンコーダが設けられる場合は、移動距離Ｌ２の計測は、調速綱車２２の回転軸に設けられたエンコーダからの回転信号に基づいて行われても良い。計測部３１によって計測された移動距離Ｌ２が基準値を上回ると、異常が判定される。 As another example, the operation control unit 30 causes the car 10 to perform a specific operation using the safety device 24 in the diagnostic operation. For example, the operation control unit 30 causes the car 10 to enter the terminal floor at a specific speed higher than the second reference speed. As a result, the safety device 24 operates. The measuring unit 31 measures a distance that the car 10 has moved from when the safety device 24 operates to when the car 10 stops. Hereinafter, this distance is also referred to as a moving distance L2. For example, the measurement of the moving distance L2 is performed based on a rotation signal from an encoder provided on the rotation shaft of the electric motor 16. When an encoder is provided on the rotation shaft of the governing sheave 22, the measurement of the moving distance L2 may be performed based on a rotation signal from an encoder provided on the rotating shaft of the governing sheave 22. When the moving distance L2 measured by the measuring unit 31 exceeds the reference value, an abnormality is determined.
　診断運転が終了すると（Ｓ１０４）、計測部３１による計測値がデータセンター２に送信される（Ｓ１０５）。データセンター２に送信される計測値には、例えば、最小電圧値Ｖｍｉｎ、移動距離Ｌ１、及び移動距離Ｌ２が含まれる。なお、異常の有無を判定する機能は、エレベーター１が備えても良いし、データセンター２が備えても良い。上記判定機能をエレベーター１が備える場合、異常の有無の判定は、例えば診断運転が終了した後に行われる。上記判定機能をデータセンター２が備える場合、異常の有無の判定は、例えばＳ１０５の処理の後に行われる。 (4) When the diagnostic operation is completed (S104), the measured value by the measuring unit 31 is transmitted to the data center 2 (S105). The measurement value transmitted to the data center 2 includes, for example, the minimum voltage value Vmin, the moving distance L1, and the moving distance L2. The function of determining the presence or absence of an abnormality may be provided in the elevator 1 or in the data center 2. When the elevator 1 has the above-described determination function, the determination of the presence or absence of the abnormality is performed, for example, after the diagnosis operation is completed. When the data center 2 has the above determination function, the determination of the presence or absence of the abnormality is performed, for example, after the process of S105.
　図４は、制御装置１８の他の動作例を示すフローチャートである。制御装置１８では、保守端末４０との通信が可能であるか否かが判定される（Ｓ２０１）。 FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing another operation example of the control device 18. The control device 18 determines whether communication with the maintenance terminal 40 is possible (S201).
　保守員は、定期的或いは不定期にエレベーター１の保守作業を行う。保守員は、保守作業を行う際に保守端末４０を携帯する。保守員は、保守端末４０を携帯して昇降路１２に入る。エレベーター１が機械室を備える場合、保守員は、保守端末４０を携帯して機械室に入る。 Maintenance personnel perform maintenance work on the elevator 1 regularly or irregularly. The maintenance person carries the maintenance terminal 40 when performing maintenance work. The maintenance person carries the maintenance terminal 40 and enters the hoistway 12. When the elevator 1 includes a machine room, the maintenance person carries the maintenance terminal 40 and enters the machine room.
　図５は、保守端末４０の例を示す図である。保守端末４０は、例えば温度計４１、及び通信部４２を備える。通信部４２は、制御装置１８と通信する。例えば、保守端末４０が制御装置１８に接続されると、Ｓ２０１でＹｅｓと判定される。通信部４２は、通信装置２６を介して制御装置１８と通信しても良い。通信部４２は、かご１０に備えられた機器を介して制御装置１８と通信しても良い。通信部４２は、制御装置１８と無線通信しても良い。 FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an example of the maintenance terminal 40. The maintenance terminal 40 includes, for example, a thermometer 41 and a communication unit 42. The communication unit 42 communicates with the control device 18. For example, when the maintenance terminal 40 is connected to the control device 18, the determination is Yes in S201. The communication unit 42 may communicate with the control device 18 via the communication device 26. The communication unit 42 may communicate with the control device 18 via a device provided in the car 10. The communication unit 42 may perform wireless communication with the control device 18.
　Ｓ２０１でＹｅｓと判定されると、制御装置１８では、保守端末４０が昇降路１２に存在するか否かが判定される（Ｓ２０２）。例えば、制御装置１８が昇降路１２に設けられ、保守端末４０が制御装置１８に有線接続されると、Ｓ２０２でＹｅｓと判定される。保守員が保守端末４０を携帯している場合、例えば昇降路１２に配置された特定のスイッチが操作されると、Ｓ２０２でＹｅｓと判定される。他の例として、かご１０の上に設けられた保守スイッチが操作されると、Ｓ２０２でＹｅｓと判定される。 If the determination is Yes in S201, the control device 18 determines whether the maintenance terminal 40 exists in the hoistway 12 (S202). For example, when the control device 18 is provided in the hoistway 12 and the maintenance terminal 40 is connected to the control device 18 by wire, the determination in S202 is Yes. When the maintenance person is carrying the maintenance terminal 40, for example, when a specific switch arranged on the hoistway 12 is operated, it is determined as Yes in S202. As another example, when the maintenance switch provided on the car 10 is operated, it is determined as Yes in S202.
　Ｓ２０２でＹｅｓと判定されると、温度取得部３２は、温度計４１によって計測された温度の実測値を取得する（Ｓ２０３）。Ｓ２０３で取得される値は、昇降路１２の温度の実測値である。温度取得部３２によって取得された温度の実測値は、データセンター２に送信される（Ｓ２０４）。 If the determination is Yes in S202, the temperature acquisition unit 32 acquires the actual measured value of the temperature measured by the thermometer 41 (S203). The value acquired in S203 is an actually measured value of the temperature of the hoistway 12. The measured temperature value acquired by the temperature acquisition unit 32 is transmitted to the data center 2 (S204).
　図１に示すように、データセンター２は、例えば記憶部５０、変動算出部５１、推移特定部５２、及び通信部５３を備える。以下に、図６から図９も参照し、データセンター２が備える機能について説明する。図６は、データセンター２の動作例を示すフローチャートである。 As shown in FIG. 1, the data center 2 includes, for example, a storage unit 50, a change calculation unit 51, a transition identification unit 52, and a communication unit 53. The functions of the data center 2 will be described below with reference to FIGS. FIG. 6 is a flowchart illustrating an operation example of the data center 2.
　データセンター２では、計測部３１が計測した値をエレベーター１から受信したか否かが判定される（Ｓ３０１）。Ｓ１０５でエレベーター１から送信された計測値は、通信部５３によって受信される。通信部５３は、エレベーター１から計測値を受信すると、受信した計測値を記憶部５０に記憶する（Ｓ３０２）。これにより、記憶部５０には、診断運転において計測部３１によって計測された値が記憶される。即ち、記憶部５０には、かご１０の動作に関する値及び特定の機器に関する値が記憶される。 In the data center 2, it is determined whether or not the value measured by the measuring unit 31 has been received from the elevator 1 (S301). The measurement value transmitted from the elevator 1 in S105 is received by the communication unit 53. When receiving the measured value from the elevator 1, the communication unit 53 stores the received measured value in the storage unit 50 (S302). As a result, the value measured by the measuring unit 31 in the diagnostic operation is stored in the storage unit 50. That is, the storage unit 50 stores a value related to the operation of the car 10 and a value related to a specific device.
　診断運転は、例えば定期的に行われる。記憶部５０には、診断運転で計測されたバッテリー２５の最小電圧値Ｖｍｉｎが定期的に記憶される。他の例として、記憶部５０には、診断運転で計測されたかご１０の移動距離Ｌ１が定期的に記憶される。他の例として、記憶部５０には、診断運転で計測されたかご１０の移動距離Ｌ２が定期的に記憶される。 The diagnostic operation is performed, for example, periodically. The storage unit 50 periodically stores the minimum voltage value Vmin of the battery 25 measured in the diagnostic operation. As another example, the storage unit 50 periodically stores the moving distance L1 of the car 10 measured in the diagnostic operation. As another example, the storage unit 50 periodically stores the moving distance L2 of the car 10 measured in the diagnostic operation.
　また、データセンター２では、温度取得部３２が取得した温度の実測値をエレベーター１から受信したか否かが判定される（Ｓ３０３）。Ｓ２０４でエレベーター１から送信された温度の実測値は、通信部５３によって受信される。通信部５３は、エレベーター１から温度の実測値を受信すると、受信した実測値を記憶部５０に記憶する（Ｓ３０４）。これにより、記憶部５０には、温度計４１によって計測された昇降路１２の温度の実測値が記憶される。保守員は、例えば定期的に保守作業を行う。記憶部５０には、温度計４１によって計測された昇降路１２の温度の実測値が定期的に記憶される。 {Circle around (4)} In the data center 2, it is determined whether or not the measured temperature value acquired by the temperature acquisition unit 32 has been received from the elevator 1 (S303). The measured temperature value transmitted from the elevator 1 in S204 is received by the communication unit 53. Upon receiving the measured temperature value from the elevator 1, the communication unit 53 stores the received measured value in the storage unit 50 (S304). Thus, the storage unit 50 stores the actually measured temperature of the hoistway 12 measured by the thermometer 41. The maintenance staff performs maintenance work, for example, periodically. The storage unit 50 periodically stores the actually measured value of the temperature of the hoistway 12 measured by the thermometer 41.
　図７は、データセンター２の他の動作例を示すフローチャートである。例えば、記憶部５０に、診断運転において計測されたバッテリー２５の最小電圧値Ｖｍｉｎが記憶されている。変動算出部５１は、記憶部５０からバッテリー２５の最小電圧値Ｖｍｉｎを読み出す（Ｓ４０１）。 FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing another operation example of the data center 2. For example, the storage unit 50 stores a minimum voltage value Vmin of the battery 25 measured in the diagnostic operation. The variation calculation unit 51 reads the minimum voltage value Vmin of the battery 25 from the storage unit 50 (S401).
　図８は、バッテリー２５の最小電圧値Ｖｍｉｎの経時変化を示す図である。図８に示す曲線Ａは、あるエレベーターＡの診断運転において計測された最小電圧値Ｖｍｉｎの経時変化を示す。曲線Ｂは、他のエレベーターＢの診断運転において計測された最小電圧値Ｖｍｉｎの経時変化を示す。 FIG. 8 is a diagram showing the change over time of the minimum voltage value Vmin of the battery 25. A curve A shown in FIG. 8 shows a temporal change of the minimum voltage value Vmin measured in the diagnostic operation of a certain elevator A. A curve B shows a temporal change of the minimum voltage value Vmin measured in the diagnostic operation of another elevator B.
　図８に示すように、最小電圧値Ｖｍｉｎの経時変化には、長期変動成分と季節変動成分とが含まれる。長期変動成分は、主としてバッテリー２５の劣化に起因して発生する。例えば、バッテリー２５が劣化することにより、最小電圧値Ｖｍｉｎは時間の経過とともに徐々に小さな値になる。一方、季節変動成分は、主として、バッテリー２５が設置されている昇降路１２の温度の変化に起因して発生する。例えば、最小電圧値Ｖｍｉｎは、昇降路１２の温度が高くなる夏に大きな値になり、昇降路１２の温度が低くなる冬に小さな値になる。 示 す As shown in FIG. 8, the change over time of the minimum voltage value Vmin includes a long-term variation component and a seasonal variation component. The long-term fluctuation component mainly occurs due to deterioration of the battery 25. For example, as the battery 25 deteriorates, the minimum voltage value Vmin gradually becomes smaller as time passes. On the other hand, the seasonal fluctuation component mainly occurs due to a change in the temperature of the hoistway 12 where the battery 25 is installed. For example, the minimum voltage value Vmin becomes a large value in summer when the temperature of the hoistway 12 becomes high, and becomes a small value in winter when the temperature of the hoistway 12 becomes low.
　変動算出部５１は、最小電圧値Ｖｍｉｎの経時変化から長期変動成分を除去することにより、経時変化の季節変動成分を算出する（Ｓ４０２）。例えば、変動算出部５１は、長期変動成分として、ある月に計測された最小電圧値と翌年の同じ月に計測された最小電圧値との差分を計算する。変動算出部５１は、複数月分の上記差分を平均した値を長期変動成分として計算しても良い。変動算出部５１は、ある年に計測された最小電圧値の最大値と翌年に計測された最小電圧値の最大値との差分を長期変動成分として計算しても良い。変動算出部５１は、ある年に計測された最小電圧値の最小値とその翌年に計測された最小電圧値の最小値との差分を長期変動成分として計算しても良い。また、変動算出部５１は、長期変動成分と周期変動成分とを有する予測モデルを統計的手法によって同定することにより、長期変動成分を求めても良い。上記予測モデルとして、例えば、１次関数又は２次関数で表現される成分と三角関数で表現される成分の合計として表現されるモデルを採用することができる。上記予測モデルとして、他のモデルを採用しても良い。 The fluctuation calculator 51 calculates the seasonal fluctuation component of the temporal change by removing the long-term fluctuation component from the temporal change of the minimum voltage value Vmin (S402). For example, the fluctuation calculator 51 calculates, as a long-term fluctuation component, a difference between the minimum voltage value measured in a certain month and the minimum voltage value measured in the same month of the following year. The fluctuation calculator 51 may calculate a value obtained by averaging the differences for a plurality of months as a long-term fluctuation component. The fluctuation calculator 51 may calculate a difference between the maximum value of the minimum voltage value measured in a certain year and the maximum value of the minimum voltage value measured in the following year as a long-term fluctuation component. The fluctuation calculator 51 may calculate the difference between the minimum value of the minimum voltage value measured in a certain year and the minimum value of the minimum voltage value measured in the following year as a long-term fluctuation component. Further, the variation calculation unit 51 may determine the long-term variation component by identifying a prediction model having a long-term variation component and a periodic variation component by a statistical method. As the prediction model, for example, a model represented as a sum of a component represented by a linear function or a quadratic function and a component represented by a trigonometric function can be adopted. Another model may be adopted as the prediction model.
　変動算出部５１は、Ｓ４０２において季節変動成分の周期と振幅とを算出しても良い。算出された季節変動成分の振幅は、昇降路１２の夏の温度と冬の温度との差に対応する。 The fluctuation calculator 51 may calculate the cycle and amplitude of the seasonal fluctuation component in S402. The calculated amplitude of the seasonal variation component corresponds to the difference between the summer temperature and the winter temperature of the hoistway 12.
　次に、推移特定部５２は、記憶部５０から昇降路１２の温度の実測値を読み出す（Ｓ４０３）。推移特定部５２は、Ｓ４０２で算出された最小電圧値Ｖｍｉｎの経時変化の季節変動成分とＳ４０３で読み出した温度の実測値とに基づいて、昇降路１２の温度推移を特定する（Ｓ４０４）。 Next, the transition specifying unit 52 reads the actually measured value of the temperature of the hoistway 12 from the storage unit 50 (S403). The transition specifying unit 52 specifies the temperature transition of the hoistway 12 based on the seasonal fluctuation component of the temporal change of the minimum voltage value Vmin calculated in S402 and the measured value of the temperature read in S403 (S404).
　図９は、推移特定部５２の機能を説明するための図である。例えば、記憶部５０に、最小電圧値Ｖｍｉｎの経時変化の季節変動成分を相対的温度推移に変換するための第１変換テーブルが予め記憶される。推移特定部５２は、第１変換テーブルを用いることにより、Ｓ４０２で算出された季節変動成分を相対的温度推移に変換する。また、推移特定部５２は、Ｓ４０３で読み出した温度の実測値に基づいて、相対的温度推移のオフセット値を決定する。これにより、推移特定部５２は、昇降路１２の絶対的な温度推移を特定する。以下においては、絶対的な温度推移のことを単に「温度推移」という。 FIG. 9 is a diagram for explaining the function of the transition specifying unit 52. For example, the storage unit 50 stores in advance a first conversion table for converting a seasonal variation component of the minimum voltage value Vmin over time into a relative temperature transition. The transition specifying unit 52 converts the seasonal fluctuation component calculated in S402 into a relative temperature transition by using the first conversion table. Further, the transition specifying unit 52 determines the offset value of the relative temperature transition based on the actually measured value of the temperature read in S403. Thereby, the transition specifying unit 52 specifies an absolute temperature transition of the hoistway 12. In the following, the absolute temperature transition is simply referred to as “temperature transition”.
　図９では、推移特定部５２によって特定される昇降路１２の温度推移を曲線Ｃで示している。曲線Ｃを特定することができれば、過去及び未来の特定の日の昇降路１２の温度を推定することができる。なお、保守員が訪問した時に実測された温度と上記推定された温度とが一致しない場合は、確率モデルによって実際の温度を求めても良い。 In FIG. 9, the temperature transition of the hoistway 12 specified by the transition specifying unit 52 is indicated by a curve C. If the curve C can be specified, the temperature of the hoistway 12 on specific days in the past and the future can be estimated. If the temperature actually measured when the maintenance staff visits does not match the estimated temperature, the actual temperature may be calculated using a probability model.
　本実施の形態に示す例では、バッテリー２５の最小電圧値Ｖｍｉｎを用いて、昇降路１２の温度推移を特定する。バッテリー２５の最小電圧値Ｖｍｉｎは、診断運転において計測される値である。このため、本実施の形態に示す例であれば、新たな計測器を常設することなく、昇降路１２の温度推移を特定できる。保守点検において、保守員の保守項目が増えることもない。 In the example shown in the present embodiment, the temperature transition of the hoistway 12 is specified using the minimum voltage value Vmin of the battery 25. The minimum voltage value Vmin of the battery 25 is a value measured in the diagnostic operation. Therefore, with the example shown in the present embodiment, the temperature transition of the hoistway 12 can be specified without permanently installing a new measuring instrument. In the maintenance inspection, the maintenance items of the maintenance staff do not increase.
　本実施の形態では、昇降路１２の温度推移を特定するために、バッテリー２５の最小電圧値Ｖｍｉｎを用いる例について説明した。これは一例である。上述した特定方法と同様の方法により、かご１０の移動距離Ｌ１を用いて昇降路１２の温度推移を特定しても良い。かご１０の移動距離Ｌ２を用いて昇降路１２の温度推移を特定しても良い。なお、バッテリー２５は、通常運転で使用される機器ではない。このため、バッテリー２５の最小電圧値Ｖｍｉｎを用いる場合は、かご１０の走行回数等の影響を受けることなく昇降路１２の温度推移を特定できるといった利点がある。 In the present embodiment, an example has been described in which the minimum voltage value Vmin of the battery 25 is used to specify the temperature transition of the hoistway 12. This is an example. The temperature transition of the hoistway 12 may be specified using the moving distance L1 of the car 10 by the same method as the above-described specifying method. The temperature transition of the hoistway 12 may be specified using the moving distance L2 of the car 10. Note that the battery 25 is not a device used in normal operation. Therefore, when the minimum voltage value Vmin of the battery 25 is used, there is an advantage that the temperature transition of the hoistway 12 can be specified without being affected by the number of times the car 10 travels.
　本実施の形態では、昇降路１２の温度の実測値を用いて、昇降路１２の温度推移を特定する例について説明した。昇降路１２は、機器が設置されるエレベーター空間の一例である。エレベーター１が機械室を備える場合、エレベーター空間は機械室であっても良い。即ち、推移特定部５２は、温度計４１によって計測された機械室の温度の実測値を用いて、機械室の温度推移を特定しても良い。かかる場合、Ｓ２０２において、保守端末４０が機械室に存在するか否かが判定される。Ｓ２０２でＹｅｓと判定されると、温度取得部３２は、温度計４１によって計測された温度の実測値を取得する。 In the present embodiment, an example has been described in which the temperature transition of the hoistway 12 is specified using the measured value of the temperature of the hoistway 12. The hoistway 12 is an example of an elevator space in which devices are installed. When the elevator 1 includes a machine room, the elevator space may be a machine room. That is, the transition specifying unit 52 may specify the temperature transition of the machine room using the actually measured value of the temperature of the machine room measured by the thermometer 41. In such a case, in S202, it is determined whether the maintenance terminal 40 is present in the machine room. If the determination is Yes in S202, the temperature acquisition unit 32 acquires the actually measured value of the temperature measured by the thermometer 41.
　なお、昇降路１２の温度と機械室の温度との差は、比較的小さいことが多い。このため、推移特定部５２は、温度計４１によって計測された昇降路１２の温度の実測値を用いて、機械室の温度推移を特定しても良い。推移特定部５２は、温度計４１によって計測された機械室の温度の実測値に基づいて、昇降路１２の温度推移を特定しても良い。即ち、推移特定部５２は、温度計４１によって計測されたエレベーター空間の温度の実測値を用いて、エレベーター空間の温度推移を特定する。 Note that the difference between the temperature of the hoistway 12 and the temperature of the machine room is often relatively small. For this reason, the transition specifying unit 52 may specify the temperature transition of the machine room using the actually measured value of the temperature of the hoistway 12 measured by the thermometer 41. The transition specifying unit 52 may specify the temperature transition of the hoistway 12 based on the measured value of the temperature of the machine room measured by the thermometer 41. That is, the transition specifying unit 52 specifies the temperature transition of the elevator space using the actually measured value of the temperature of the elevator space measured by the thermometer 41.
　次に、データセンター２に備えられた温度推移特定機能を利用して、保守計画システムを構築する例について説明する。図１０は、データセンター２の他の例を示す図である。図１０に示すデータセンター２は、記憶部５０、変動算出部５１、推移特定部５２、及び通信部５３に加え、例えば寿命算出部５４、及び判定部５５を更に備える。図１１は、データセンター２の他の動作例を示す図である。図１１に示す動作は、例えば図７に示す動作の後に行われる。 Next, an example in which a maintenance planning system is constructed by using the temperature transition specifying function provided in the data center 2 will be described. FIG. 10 is a diagram illustrating another example of the data center 2. The data center 2 illustrated in FIG. 10 further includes, for example, a life calculation unit 54 and a determination unit 55 in addition to the storage unit 50, the change calculation unit 51, the transition identification unit 52, and the communication unit 53. FIG. 11 is a diagram illustrating another operation example of the data center 2. The operation illustrated in FIG. 11 is performed, for example, after the operation illustrated in FIG.
　Ｓ４０４でエレベーター空間の温度推移が特定されると、寿命算出部５４は、そのエレベーター空間に配置された部品の寿命を算出する（Ｓ５０１）。例えば、寿命算出部５４は、推移特定部５２によって特定された温度推移とかご１０の走行履歴とに基づいて部品劣化のシミュレーションを行い、その部品の寿命を算出する。かご１０の走行履歴は、かご１０の走行回数でも良いし、かご１０の走行距離でも良い。例えば、寿命算出部５４は、制御装置１８の内部に配置された電気部品の寿命を算出する。寿命算出部５４は、ベルト等の樹脂部品の寿命を算出しても良い。 When the temperature transition of the elevator space is specified in S404, the life calculation unit 54 calculates the life of the components arranged in the elevator space (S501). For example, the life calculating unit 54 simulates component deterioration based on the temperature transition specified by the transition specifying unit 52 and the traveling history of the car 10 and calculates the life of the component. The travel history of the car 10 may be the number of travels of the car 10 or the travel distance of the car 10. For example, the life calculation unit 54 calculates the life of the electric components arranged inside the control device 18. The life calculation unit 54 may calculate the life of a resin component such as a belt.
　判定部５５は、部品の点検時期を判定する（Ｓ５０２）。判定部５５は、寿命算出部５４によって算出された部品の寿命に基づいて、点検時期の判定を行う。判定部５５は、Ｓ５０２において部品の交換時期を判定しても良い。これにより、部品の点検時期或いは交換時期に応じた適切な保守計画を作成することができる。 The determination unit 55 determines the inspection time of the component (S502). The determination unit 55 determines the inspection time based on the life of the component calculated by the life calculation unit 54. The determination unit 55 may determine the replacement time of the component in S502. This makes it possible to create an appropriate maintenance plan according to the inspection time or replacement time of the part.
　図１２は、データセンター２の他の例を示す図である。図１２に示すデータセンター２は、記憶部５０、変動算出部５１、推移特定部５２、及び通信部５３に加え、例えばカテゴリー決定部５６、及び判定部５５を更に備える。図１３は、データセンター２の他の動作例を示す図である。図１３に示す動作は、例えば図７に示す動作の後に行われる。 FIG. 12 is a diagram showing another example of the data center 2. As shown in FIG. The data center 2 illustrated in FIG. 12 further includes, for example, a category determination unit 56 and a determination unit 55 in addition to the storage unit 50, the change calculation unit 51, the transition identification unit 52, and the communication unit 53. FIG. 13 is a diagram illustrating another operation example of the data center 2. The operation illustrated in FIG. 13 is performed, for example, after the operation illustrated in FIG.
　Ｓ４０４でエレベーター空間の温度推移が特定されると、カテゴリー決定部５６は、そのエレベーター空間が属する環境カテゴリーを決定する（Ｓ６０１）。例えば、エレベーター１が設置されているビルの構造により、そのエレベーター空間の環境は異なる。また、エレベーター１が設置されている位置及び向きにより、そのエレベーター空間の環境は異なる。例えば、エレベーター１が大規模ビルの中央部に設置されている場合、そのエレベーター空間の温度は年間を通して一定である。また、外気が入りやすい位置にエレベーター１が設置されている場合、そのエレベーター空間の温度は外気温度に影響され易い。エレベーター１が所謂シースルーエレベーターであり且つ直射日光を受ける位置に設置されている場合、そのエレベーター空間の温度は、外気温度の変化より大きく変化する。 When the temperature transition of the elevator space is specified in S404, the category determining unit 56 determines an environment category to which the elevator space belongs (S601). For example, the environment of the elevator space differs depending on the structure of the building in which the elevator 1 is installed. Further, the environment of the elevator space differs depending on the position and the direction in which the elevator 1 is installed. For example, when the elevator 1 is installed in the center of a large-scale building, the temperature of the elevator space is constant throughout the year. In addition, when the elevator 1 is installed at a position where outside air can easily enter, the temperature of the elevator space is easily affected by the outside air temperature. When the elevator 1 is a so-called see-through elevator and is installed at a position receiving direct sunlight, the temperature of the elevator space changes more greatly than a change in the outside air temperature.
　図１２及び図１３に示す例では、複数の環境カテゴリーが予め設定される。また、エレベーター空間が属する環境カテゴリーを決定するための第１分類条件が予め設定される。カテゴリー決定部５６は、推移特定部５２によって特定された温度推移と第１分類条件とに基づいて、環境カテゴリーの決定を行う。例えば、カテゴリー決定部５６は、特定された温度推移から最高温度、最低温度、推移の周期、及び推移の振幅といった特徴量を算出する。カテゴリー決定部５６は、算出した特徴量を第１分類条件に当てはめ、環境カテゴリーを決定する。 In the examples shown in FIGS. 12 and 13, a plurality of environment categories are set in advance. In addition, a first classification condition for determining an environment category to which the elevator space belongs is set in advance. The category determining unit 56 determines an environmental category based on the temperature transition specified by the transition specifying unit 52 and the first classification condition. For example, the category determination unit 56 calculates characteristic amounts such as a maximum temperature, a minimum temperature, a transition cycle, and a transition amplitude from the specified temperature transition. The category determination unit 56 determines the environment category by applying the calculated feature amount to the first classification condition.
　判定部５５は、部品の点検時期を判定する（Ｓ６０２）。判定部５５は、カテゴリー決定部５６によって決定されたエレベーター空間の環境カテゴリーに基づいて、そのエレベーター空間に配置された部品の点検時期を判定する。例えば、部品の点検周期が環境カテゴリーごとに予め設定される。判定部５５は、Ｓ６０２において部品の交換時期を判定しても良い。これにより、部品の点検時期或いは交換時期に応じた適切な保守計画を作成することができる。 The determination unit 55 determines the inspection time of the component (S602). The determination unit 55 determines the inspection time of the components arranged in the elevator space based on the environmental category of the elevator space determined by the category determination unit 56. For example, a component inspection cycle is set in advance for each environmental category. The determination unit 55 may determine the replacement time of the component in S602. This makes it possible to create an appropriate maintenance plan according to the inspection time or replacement time of the part.
　図１４は、データセンター２の他の例を示す図である。図１４に示すデータセンター２は、記憶部５０、変動算出部５１、推移特定部５２、及び通信部５３に加え、例えばカテゴリー決定部５６、推移特定部５７、寿命算出部５４、及び判定部５５を更に備える。図１５は、データセンター２の他の動作例を示す図である。図１５に示す動作は、例えば図７に示す動作の後に行われる。 FIG. 14 is a diagram showing another example of the data center 2. As shown in FIG. The data center 2 shown in FIG. 14 includes, for example, a category determination unit 56, a transition identification unit 57, a life calculation unit 54, and a determination unit 55 in addition to a storage unit 50, a variation calculation unit 51, a transition identification unit 52, and a communication unit 53. Is further provided. FIG. 15 is a diagram illustrating another operation example of the data center 2. The operation illustrated in FIG. 15 is performed, for example, after the operation illustrated in FIG.
　Ｓ４０４でエレベーター空間の温度推移が特定されると、カテゴリー決定部５６は、そのエレベーター空間が属する環境カテゴリーを決定する（Ｓ７０１）。図１４及び図１５に示す例では、カテゴリー決定部５６は、推移特定部５２によって特定された温度推移と外気温度との差に基づいて、環境カテゴリーの決定を行う。外気温度は、例えば気象庁等の外部機関から入手することができる。カテゴリー決定部５６は、温度推移から推定されるある日のエレベーター空間の温度とその日の外気温度との差に基づいて、環境カテゴリーを決定する。 When the temperature transition of the elevator space is specified in S404, the category determining unit 56 determines an environment category to which the elevator space belongs (S701). In the examples illustrated in FIGS. 14 and 15, the category determining unit 56 determines the environmental category based on the difference between the temperature transition specified by the transition specifying unit 52 and the outside air temperature. The outside air temperature can be obtained from an external organization such as the Meteorological Agency. The category determining unit 56 determines an environmental category based on the difference between the temperature of the elevator space on a certain day and the outside air temperature on that day estimated from the temperature transition.
　例えば、エレベーター空間に空調装置が設けられている場合、上記差は季節によって変動する。外気が入りやすい位置にエレベーター１が設置されている場合、上記差は年間を通して比較的小さくなる。昇降路１２を形成する壁の材質によっても上記差は変動する。 For example, when an air conditioner is installed in the elevator space, the above difference varies depending on the season. When the elevator 1 is installed at a position where outside air can easily enter, the above difference is relatively small throughout the year. The above difference also varies depending on the material of the wall forming the hoistway 12.
　図１４及び図１５に示す例では、複数の環境カテゴリーが予め設定される。また、エレベーター空間が属する環境カテゴリーを決定するための第２分類条件が予め設定される。カテゴリー決定部５６は、例えば、上記差と第２分類条件とに基づいて、環境カテゴリーの決定を行う。 In the examples shown in FIGS. 14 and 15, a plurality of environment categories are set in advance. In addition, a second classification condition for determining an environment category to which the elevator space belongs is set in advance. The category determination unit 56 determines an environment category based on, for example, the difference and the second classification condition.
　また、図１４及び図１５に示す例では、記憶部５０に、環境カテゴリー別の第２変換テーブルが予め記憶される。第２変換テーブルは、外気湿度をエレベーター空間の湿度に変換するためのテーブルである。例えば、第２変換テーブルを作成するため、様々なエレベーター空間の湿度が実際に計測される。第２変換テーブルは、外気湿度とエレベーター空間の湿度の実測値とを用いて事前に作成され、記憶部５０に記憶される。外気湿度は、例えば気象庁等の外部機関から入手することができる。 In the examples shown in FIGS. 14 and 15, the storage unit 50 stores in advance a second conversion table for each environment category. The second conversion table is a table for converting the outside air humidity into the humidity of the elevator space. For example, in order to create the second conversion table, the humidity of various elevator spaces is actually measured. The second conversion table is created in advance using the outside air humidity and the measured value of the humidity in the elevator space, and is stored in the storage unit 50. The outside air humidity can be obtained from an external organization such as the Meteorological Agency.
　推移特定部５７は、カテゴリー決定部５６が決定した環境カテゴリーに基づいて、エレベーター空間の湿度推移を特定する。図１６は、推移特定部５７の機能を説明するための図である。図１６は、ビルに空調設備が備えられているが昇降路１２には空調設備が備えられていない環境カテゴリーの第２変換テーブルを用いて、湿度推移が特定された例を示す。例えば、推移特定部５７は、記憶部５０から対応の第２変換テーブルを読み出す（Ｓ７０２）。即ち、推移特定部５７は、Ｓ７０２において、カテゴリー決定部５６が決定した環境カテゴリーに対応する第２変換テーブルを記憶部５０から読み出す。推移特定部５７は、読み出した第２変換テーブルを用いて、エレベーター空間の湿度推移を特定する（Ｓ７０３）。 The transition specifying unit 57 specifies a humidity transition in the elevator space based on the environmental category determined by the category determining unit 56. FIG. 16 is a diagram for explaining the function of the transition specifying unit 57. FIG. 16 shows an example in which the humidity transition is specified using a second conversion table of an environmental category in which a building is provided with air conditioning equipment but the hoistway 12 is not provided with air conditioning equipment. For example, the transition specifying unit 57 reads the corresponding second conversion table from the storage unit 50 (S702). That is, the transition specifying unit 57 reads the second conversion table corresponding to the environment category determined by the category determining unit 56 from the storage unit 50 in S702. The transition specifying unit 57 specifies the humidity transition of the elevator space using the read second conversion table (S703).
　Ｓ７０３でエレベーター空間の湿度推移が特定されると、寿命算出部５４は、そのエレベーター空間に配置された部品の寿命を算出する（Ｓ７０４）。例えば、寿命算出部５４は、推移特定部５２によって特定された温度推移と推移特定部５７によって特定された湿度推移とかご１０の走行履歴とに基づいて部品劣化のシミュレーションを行い、その部品の寿命を算出する。かご１０の走行履歴は、かご１０の走行回数でも良いし、かご１０の走行距離でも良い。 When the humidity transition in the elevator space is specified in S703, the life calculator 54 calculates the life of the components arranged in the elevator space (S704). For example, the life calculation unit 54 simulates component deterioration based on the temperature change specified by the change specifying unit 52, the humidity change specified by the change specifying unit 57, and the running history of the car 10, and calculates the life of the component. Is calculated. The travel history of the car 10 may be the number of travels of the car 10 or the travel distance of the car 10.
　判定部５５は、部品の点検時期を判定する（Ｓ７０５）。判定部５５は、寿命算出部５４によって算出された部品の寿命に基づいて、点検時期の判定を行う。判定部５５は、Ｓ７０５において部品の交換時期を判定しても良い。これにより、部品の点検時期或いは交換時期に応じた適切な保守計画を作成することができる。 The determining unit 55 determines the inspection time of the component (S705). The determination unit 55 determines the inspection time based on the life of the component calculated by the life calculation unit 54. The determining unit 55 may determine the replacement time of the component in S705. This makes it possible to create an appropriate maintenance plan according to the inspection time or replacement time of the part.
