Description
Technical Field
The present invention relates to an elevator control device, an elevator remote monitoring server, an evacuation support system, and an evacuation support method using an elevator, which use an elevator that is controlled to operate and then to suspend in case of occurrence of a disaster as evacuation means by remote monitoring and control.
Background
When a disaster such as a fire or an earthquake occurs, the elevator immediately enters a controlled operation, stops at the nearest floor, then moves to an evacuation floor, and then stops operating. Therefore, the elevator cannot be used as evacuation guidance means after the operation is stopped.
There is a conventional technique in which an elevator is used for evacuation guidance in view of this point (see, for example, patent document 1). In patent document 1, it is determined whether evacuation operation is possible or not at the time of a fire, and a start of an evacuation operation mode in which evacuation operation is performed is determined.
More specifically, in patent document 1, it is determined whether evacuation operation can be performed based on information on the fire occurrence point and the conditions of the building equipment (sprinkler operation information). In patent document 1, when evacuation operation is performed, evacuation is performed using an elevator by a person permitted in advance. As a result, the operation of the elevator can be performed according to the fire or the evacuation situation, and a request for evacuation by the elevator can be made on each floor.

Problems to be solved by the invention
However, the following problems exist in the prior art.
In the conventional technique as in patent document 1, it is necessary to obtain information on the fire occurrence point and the status of building equipment from other systems. In such a conventional technique, it is not confirmed whether or not the elevator can actually travel in a situation where a fire has occurred. Therefore, even if the elevator is used for evacuation guidance, the elevator may not be actually operated.
In addition, in the conventional technology, it is hard to say that the operation efficiency is improved in the point that only the permitted persons can use the elevator as evacuation means in the case of fire occurrence. Further, there are problems as follows: in the event of a trouble occurring during the operation of an elevator used for evacuation guidance, there is no means for notification.
In particular, the following problems can be considered: in a situation where many people are present, such as an apartment building or an office building, it takes a long time until all the people are evacuated because an elevator cannot be used for evacuation guidance or a problem such as a trapping occurs.

Detailed Description
Next, preferred embodiments of an elevator control device, an elevator remote monitoring server, an evacuation support system, and an evacuation support method using an elevator will be described with reference to the drawings.
Fig. 1 is an overall configuration diagram of an elevator remote monitoring system including an elevator control device and an elevator remote monitoring server according to embodiment 1 of the present invention. An elevator is installed in a building to be evacuated when a disaster occurs. The control device 10 is a controller that controls the operation of the car 20, and conveys a user riding on one landing 30 to another landing 30. In reality, a plurality of landings are present corresponding to each of a plurality of floors, but in fig. 1, only one landing is shown in detail for the sake of simplicity of explanation.
As main components, the elevator remote monitoring system according to embodiment 1 includes: an elevator control device including a control device 10 and an information collection device 40; and an elevator remote monitoring server 100 capable of communicating with the information collection device 40 via the network 200.
Further, as optional components, the elevator remote monitoring system according to embodiment 1 includes: a disaster prevention center 60 connected to the information collection device 40; a travel diagnosis device 50 connected to the control device 10; and a fire information transmitting apparatus 110 connected to the network 200. These optional configurations correspond to an information providing device that provides information on a disaster occurrence situation in an environment in which an elevator is installed.
Specifically, the disaster prevention center 60 is a device installed in a building, and can provide information on a fire occurrence situation in the building. Further, the travel diagnosis device 50 can provide information related to travel diagnosis in the hoistway. The fire information transmitting apparatus 110 is a device installed outside a building, and can provide information on the fire occurrence situation inside the target building from the outside via the network 200.
Fig. 1 illustrates smoke detectors 70 installed on respective floors in a typical building.
The elevator remote monitoring server 100 is provided in an information center provided at a remote location from the building. In addition, an operator who has been subjected to operation training for operating an elevator for evacuation guidance at the time of occurrence of a disaster is often resident in the information center.
Here, the elevator remote monitoring server 100 includes a 2 nd transmitting/receiving unit 101 and a 2 nd evacuation guidance control unit 102. As will be described in detail below, the 2 nd transmitting/receiving section 101 has a function of communicating with the information collecting apparatus 40 via the network 200, and the 2 nd evacuation guidance control section 102 has a function of: elevator state information is received from the information collection device 40 via the 2 nd transmitting/receiving unit 101, and commands for implementing the self-diagnosis function and the evacuation travel function are generated by the operation input of the operator corresponding to the reception result, and these commands are transmitted to the information collection device 40. In the following description, the functions of the 2 nd transmitting/receiving unit 101 and the 2 nd evacuation guidance control unit 102 are not distinguished from each other, and the elevator remote monitoring server 100 executes these two functions.
Further, the operator can transmit a command for applying the elevator to evacuation guidance at the time of disaster occurrence to the information collection device 40 by operating the elevator remote monitoring server 100 based on the information collected from the information collection device 40 in the building via the elevator remote monitoring server 100.
Specific commands include a diagnosis travel command for actually traveling the car 20 in an unmanned state to determine whether or not traveling is possible, and an evacuation travel command for causing an evacuee to take the elevator from a rescue floor to an evacuation floor to give evacuation guidance.
Also, the diagnostic travel command may contain information on a floor on which the diagnostic travel by the reciprocating travel is performed. The evacuation travel command includes information on a rescue floor for taking the evacuee into the elevator when evacuation guidance is performed, and an evacuation floor predetermined for each building.
On the other hand, the information collection device 40 and the control device 10 can execute the control processing function described below based on the diagnosis travel command and the evacuation travel command received from the elevator remote monitoring server 100.
(function 1) self-diagnostic function
The information collection device 40 includes a 1 st transmission/reception unit 41 and a 1 st evacuation guidance control unit 42. As will be described in detail below, the 1 st transmitting/receiving section has a function of communicating with the elevator remote monitoring server 100 via the network 200, and the 1 st evacuation guidance control section 42 has a function of: the elevator state information is transmitted to the elevator remote monitoring server 100 via the 1 st transmitting/receiving unit 41, and the self-diagnosis function and the evacuation travel function are implemented by transmitting the command received from the elevator remote monitoring server 100 to the control device 10. In the following description, the functions of the 1 st transmitting/receiving unit 41 and the 1 st evacuation guidance control unit 42 are not distinguished from each other, and the information collection device 40 executes these two functions.
When the information collection device 40 receives a diagnosis travel command from the elevator remote monitoring server 100 after the control operation of the elevator is performed by the control device 10 at the time of the occurrence of a disaster, the diagnosis travel command is transmitted to the control device 10 in order to diagnose whether or not the car 20 can travel by actually traveling in the hoistway.
The control device 10, which receives the diagnostic travel command and forwards the diagnostic travel command, performs self-diagnostic travel by causing the car 20 in the door-closed state to actually reciprocate between, for example, the lowermost floor and the uppermost floor of the building. The control device 10 may perform self-diagnosis travel by making the elevator travel back and forth between floors or the like included in the diagnosis travel command transmitted from the elevator remote monitoring server 100 in another route.
When the self-diagnosis travel has been completed normally, the control device 10 that has performed the self-diagnosis travel returns a normal completion signal to the information collection device 40. On the other hand, for example, when the self-diagnosis travel is not completed normally due to a damage to the hoistway caused by the influence of heat of a fire, the control device 10 that has performed the self-diagnosis travel returns an abnormality completion signal to the information collection device 40. Then, the diagnosis result is transferred from the information collection device 40 to the elevator remote monitoring server 100.
(function 2) traveling control function in evacuation guidance
When the operator determines that the self-diagnosis travel has been completed normally based on the self-diagnosis result displayed on the elevator remote monitoring server 100, the operator inputs an evacuation travel command including information on the rescue floor and the evacuation floor. The elevator remote monitoring server 100, which has been input by the operator, outputs the evacuation travel command to the information collection device 40. The information collection device 40 transmits the received evacuation travel command to the control device 10.
The control device 10 that receives the transfer of the evacuation travel command guides the evacuated persons into the car 20 by directly operating the car 20 toward the rescue floor and opening the door. Further, the controller 10 conveys the evacuated persons to the evacuation floor by directly operating the car 20 with the door closed to the evacuation floor and opening the door.
On the other hand, when the operator determines that the self-diagnosis travel is not completed normally based on the self-diagnosis result displayed on the elevator remote monitoring server 100, the operator determines that the evacuation travel between the rescue floor and the evacuation floor cannot be performed and does not input the evacuation travel command.
As a result of the self-diagnosis, even if the vehicle cannot travel in a partial range, if the vehicle includes information on a floor range in which the vehicle can partially travel, the operator can set a rescue floor and an evacuation floor from the floor range in which the vehicle can travel, and generate an evacuation travel command.
Further, the control device 10 can perform self-diagnosis by the function 1 also during the evacuation travel by the function 2. Then, the self-diagnosis result is forwarded to the elevator remote monitoring server 100 via the information collecting device 40. Therefore, the operator can determine the possibility of the evacuation travel thereafter from the self-diagnosis result at the latest travel time received by the elevator remote monitoring server 100.
Further, the control device 10 may periodically perform self-diagnosis travel. For example, the control device 10 may store the travel data at the normal time by performing self-diagnosis travel at a regular time at night when the operation rate is low. Further, by comparing the self-diagnosis result at the time of occurrence of a disaster with the normal travel data, the diagnosis accuracy can be improved.
(function 3) function of transmitting information to user
As shown in fig. 1, the car 20 may be configured to include a display device 21 and a notification device 22. Similarly, the landing 30 may be configured to include a display device 31 and a notification device 32. With such a configuration, the control device 10 can appropriately communicate the elevator use situation when the elevator is used for evacuation guidance to the user.
Specifically, the control device 10 may notify the user of information such as a self-diagnosis result, a rescue floor, and an evacuation floor as the usage status.
(function 4) refuge travel range limiting function
In the case where the disaster prevention center 60 as an optional configuration is provided in the building, the information collection device 40 and the elevator remote monitoring server 100 can collect information on the occurrence of a fire in the building from the disaster prevention center 60.
In addition, when the disaster prevention information transmission device 110, which is an optional configuration, is connected to the network 200, the information collection device 40 and the elevator remote monitoring server 100 can collect information on the occurrence of a fire in the building from the disaster prevention information transmission device 110.
Examples of such information relating to the occurrence of a fire include the following: if the building is a 10-story building, a fire occurs in 8 stories, and the smoke sensor 70 installed in 8 to 10 stories operates.
In addition, the smoke sensor 70 herein does not refer to a smoke sensor included in the travel diagnosis apparatus 50, but refers to a smoke sensor that is generally provided in a building. The information on the fire occurrence status detected by the smoke sensor 70 may be configured as follows: the information is transmitted to the remote monitoring server 100 through a path different from the path shown in fig. 1, and is transferred from the remote monitoring server 100 to the information collection device 40. Further, the information regarding the fire occurrence condition detected by the smoke sensor 70 may be directly captured by the information collection device 40.
The "other path" may be a path for receiving a signal from another system or a path for providing information by a telephone or the like.
When 8 to 10 floors are set as rescue floors, the information collection device 40 and the elevator remote monitoring server 100 that acquire such information determine that there is a high possibility of smoke entering the car or the hoistway, and can limit the evacuation travel range to a range of 1 to 7 floors.
In addition, when the travel diagnosis device 50 having an optional configuration is installed in the hoistway, the information collection device 40 and the elevator remote monitoring server 100 can collect information on travel diagnosis in the hoistway from the travel diagnosis device 50. For example, when a smoke sensor is installed as the travel diagnosis device 50 at each floor in the hoistway, the information collection device 40 and the elevator remote monitoring server 100 can acquire the detection result of the smoke sensor via the control device 10.
For example, when a smoke sensor is provided as the travel diagnosis device 50 on the outer side of the car 20, the control device 10 causes the car 4 to travel, and the information collection device 40 and the elevator remote monitoring server 100 can acquire the detection result of the smoke sensor via the control device 10.
Examples of such probe information include the following: the building is 10 stories, and the smoke detector operates in 8-10 stories. When 8 to 10 floors are set as rescue floors, the information collection device 40 and the elevator remote monitoring server 100 that have acquired such information determine that there is a high possibility of smoke entering the car, and can limit the evacuation travel range to a range of 1 to 7 floors.
The installation location of the travel diagnosis device 50 is not limited to the hoistway, and for example, it is also conceivable to install a smoke sensor as the travel diagnosis device 50 in the landing 30 on each floor.
When information on the occurrence of a fire in the building is acquired from the disaster prevention center 60 or the fire information transmission device 110, or when the travel diagnosis result is acquired from the travel diagnosis device 50, the operator can limit the evacuation travel range based on the acquired information.
The operator determines to limit the evacuation travel range based on the information acquired from the disaster prevention center 60 by the elevator remote monitoring server 100 via the information collection device 40. Alternatively, the judgment of limiting the evacuation travel range is performed based on the information acquired by the elevator remote monitoring server 100 from the fire information transmitting device 110. Thus, the operator in the information center can appropriately set the rescue floor and the evacuation floor based on the travel range selection information acquired via the network 200.
Next, a series of processes using the evacuation support method for an elevator will be described. Fig. 2 is a flowchart relating to a series of evacuation support processes executed in the elevator remote monitoring system according to embodiment 1 of the present invention.
First, in step S201, the control device 10 determines whether a disaster has occurred. When it is determined that a disaster has occurred, the process proceeds to step S202, and the control device 10 performs the control operation. The operations of steps S201 and S202 are the same as those of the related art control operation.
Next, in step S203, the elevator remote monitoring server 100 outputs a self-diagnosis execution command. Here, the operator at the remote location confirms, on the elevator remote monitoring server 100, information output from the information collecting device 40 and received by the elevator remote monitoring server 100, and information received from sensors, such as the smoke sensor 70, which are generally provided in the building, not via the information collecting device 40 but from other routes.
When the operator determines from the collected information that evacuation guidance for the elevator needs to be used, the operator inputs a self-diagnosis execution command to the elevator remote monitoring server 100 so that the car 20 actually travels without any person. As a result, the elevator remote monitoring server 100 transmits a self-diagnosis execution command to the information collection device 40.
Next, the elevator control device that has received the self-diagnosis execution command executes the self-diagnosis operation. Here, the self-diagnosis operation will be described with reference to fig. 3. Fig. 3 is a flowchart relating to a series of self-diagnosis processes executed by the elevator control device in embodiment 1 of the present invention.
In step S301, the information collection device 40 that has received the self-diagnosis execution command from the elevator remote monitoring server 100 outputs a diagnosis travel command to the control device 10. Next, in step S302, the control device 10 performs self-diagnosis travel in accordance with the diagnosis travel command, and returns the diagnosis result to the information collection device 40. Further, in step S303, the information collection device 40 transmits the diagnosis result to the elevator remote monitoring server 100.
The description returns to fig. 2.
Next, in step S204, the information collection device 40 determines whether a normal completion signal has been received from the control device 10. When the normal completion signal is not received but the abnormal completion signal is received, the information collection device 40 transmits the abnormal completion signal and the diagnosis result to the elevator remote monitoring server 100, and the series of processes is ended.
On the other hand, when the information collecting apparatus 40 receives the normal completion signal, it proceeds to step S205. Then, in step S205, the information collection device 40 transmits a normal completion signal and a diagnosis result to the elevator remote monitoring server 100, and determines whether an evacuation travel command has been received as a response thereto from the elevator remote monitoring server 100.
Here, when the elevator remote monitoring server 100 receives the normal completion signal and the diagnosis result from the information collection device 40, the operator determines whether evacuation guidance using the elevator should be performed based on the diagnosis result. When the operator determines that evacuation guidance using the elevator should be performed, an evacuation travel command designating the rescue floor and the evacuation floor is generated and input to the elevator remote monitoring server 100. As a result, the elevator remote monitoring server 100 returns an evacuation travel command, which is generated in accordance with the judgment of the operator and which specifies the rescue floor and the evacuation floor, to the information collection device 40.
In addition, when generating the evacuation travel command, the operator may set a plurality of evacuation routes and priorities designated by the rescue floor and the evacuation floor. For example, if the building is 10 floors, a fire occurs in 8 floors, the evacuation floor is 1 floor, and it is determined from the self-diagnosis result that the elevator can travel to 9 floors and 10 floors, the operator may set the rescue floor to 9 floors, the evacuation floor to 1 floor, the rescue floor to 10 floors, and the evacuation floor to 1 floor as the priority 2, and the evacuation travel command may be generated so as to include a plurality of evacuation routes.
Next, in step S206, the information collection device 40 transfers the evacuation travel command received from the elevator remote monitoring server 100 to the control device 10. Then, in step S207, the control device 10 executes evacuation travel in accordance with the received evacuation travel command.
As described above, when two evacuation routes, i.e., the priority order 1 and the priority order 2, are included in the evacuation travel command, the control device first performs evacuation travel through the evacuation route set in accordance with the priority order 1.
Next, in step S208, the control device 10 can perform self-diagnosis while the evacuation travel is being performed. Then, in step S209, the control device 10 determines whether evacuation travel currently performed is completed.
When the self-diagnosis during the evacuation travel is not normally completed in steps S208 and S209, the process proceeds to step S210, and the control device 10 ends the series of processes after performing the door-closed stop or the nearest floor stop.
In addition, the criterion for determining a stop with a door or a stop at the nearest floor in step S210 will be described in supplementary detail below. If the door can be opened at the nearest floor, the control device 10 opens the door of the car and performs the evacuation operation again by another elevator. The judgment of whether or not the door can be opened is based not only on the information that the door cannot be opened physically but also on the information that the nearest floor is filled with smoke or the like.
When it is determined in step S209 that the evacuation travel has been completed, the flow proceeds to step S211, and the control device 10 determines whether or not the self-diagnosis result performed during the evacuation travel is normal. When it is determined that the self-diagnosis is not normally completed, the control device 10 transmits an abnormality completion signal and a diagnosis result to the information collection device 40, and ends the series of processing. In addition, the information collection device 40 may transmit the abnormality completion signal and the self-diagnosis result received from the control device 10 to the elevator remote monitoring server 100.
On the other hand, if it is determined in step S211 that the self-diagnosis has been completed normally, the flow proceeds to step S212, and the control device 10 determines whether all the evacuation travels have been completed. Then, the processing of steps S206 to S212 is repeated until the evacuation travel of all the evacuation paths included in the evacuation travel command is completed.
Therefore, when two evacuation routes, i.e., the priority order 1 and the priority order 2, are included in the evacuation travel command, evacuation travel in the priority order 2 is performed after the priority order 1, and all the processing is completed.
In the flowchart of fig. 2, the processing of the above-described functions 3 and 4 is omitted. Further, although not described in detail in the flowchart of fig. 2, the operator is enabled to perform remote monitoring by forwarding the elevator conditions during the regulation operation, the self-diagnosis travel, and the evacuation travel according to the path of the control device 10 → the information collecting device 40 → the elevator remote monitoring server 100.
Therefore, even when a state in which passengers are trapped in the car 20 occurs, for example, information can be communicated from the operator to a maintenance person, a fire fighter, a building manager, or the like, and thus a quick rescue operation can be achieved.
When the communication between the information collection device 40 and the remote monitoring server 100 is interrupted during the period in which the evacuation travel function is being executed in the present system, or when the car 20 cannot travel, or the like, the execution of the evacuation travel function is immediately set to a temporary stop state, and the operator notifies the fire-fighting party of the state immediately before the communication is disconnected. When the communication between the information collection device 40 and the remote monitoring server 100 is resumed, the execution of the evacuation traveling function in the temporarily stopped state is resumed.
The hardware configuration of the information collection device 40 and the elevator remote monitoring server 100 shown in fig. 1 will be described in addition with reference to fig. 4 and 5. Fig. 4 is a diagram showing a hardware configuration of the information collection device 40 according to embodiment 1 of the present invention. The information collection device 40 is constituted by an interface 40a, a processor 40b, and a memory 40 c.
As shown in fig. 1, the information collection device 40 includes: a 1 st transmitting/receiving unit 41 that performs mutual communication via the network 200; and a 1 st evacuation guidance control unit 42 that transmits elevator state information to the elevator remote monitoring server 100 and transfers a command received from the elevator remote monitoring server 100 to the control device 10 to cause the control device 10 to implement the self-diagnosis function and the evacuation travel function.
The information collection device 40 is executed by the processor 40b via the interface 40a in fig. 4 when executing the communication function. Further, the information collection device 40 is executed by the processor 40b according to data and programs stored in the memory 40c in fig. 4 when performing arithmetic and control processing relating to the self-diagnosis function and the evacuation travel function.
Fig. 5 is a diagram showing a hardware configuration of the elevator remote monitoring server 100 according to embodiment 1 of the present invention. The elevator remote monitoring server 100 is composed of an interface 100a, a processor 100b, and a memory 100 c.
As shown in fig. 1, an elevator remote monitoring server 100 includes: a 2 nd transmitting/receiving unit that performs mutual communication via the network 200; and a 2 nd evacuation guidance control unit 102 that receives the elevator state information from the information collection device 40 via the 2 nd transceiver 101, generates commands for implementing the self-diagnosis function and the evacuation travel function by the operation input of the operator corresponding to the reception result, and transmits the commands to the information collection device 40.
The elevator remote monitoring server 100 executes a communication function and operation input processing from an operator using the processor 100b via the interface 100a in fig. 5. Further, the elevator remote monitoring server 100 executes using the processor 100b according to the data and the program stored in the memory 100c in fig. 5 when generating the instruction to execute the self-diagnosis function and the evacuation travel function.
As described above, according to embodiment 1, after the control operation at the time of occurrence of a disaster is performed, evacuation guidance using an elevator can be performed based on the judgment of an operator located at a remote location without continuing the state in which the elevator is suspended. As a result, evacuation from the building can be completed more quickly.
Further, since the control and guidance are performed from a remote location, appropriate evacuation guidance using the elevator can be performed even in a situation where there is no guidance member in the building in which the disaster has occurred.
Further, the operator at the remote location can confirm the use condition of the elevator in the event of a disaster on line by monitoring the information collected by the information collection device. Therefore, even when a situation such as a trouble occurs during evacuation, information can be presented to the maintenance personnel and the firefighter.
