Description

本発明は、研究施設、工場、病院など、作業者の安全や製造物に対して危険を伴う環境において、発生する有毒ガス等を局所排気するヒュームフードに関するものであり、特に作業者の安全に関わるデータを取得して安全な作業環境かどうかを判断するヒュームフード管理システムに関するものである。   The present invention relates to a fume hood that locally exhausts toxic gas generated in laboratories such as research facilities, factories, hospitals, etc. in environments where there is a danger to the safety of workers or products, and in particular to the safety of workers. The present invention relates to a fume hood management system that obtains related data and determines whether or not the work environment is safe.

化学実験では、実験作業過程において、人体に有害なガスや粉塵等が発生する場合が多い。これら有害物質の室内への拡散を防止し、人体への汚染を防ぐ装置の1つにヒュームフードがある。一般に、ヒュームフードは、上下または左右に開閉可能なサッシドア付きの囲い(エンクロージャ)を備えており、実験室の作業者はこのサッシドアからエンクロージャ内にアクセスすることができる。ヒュームフードで作業中の作業者が有害なガスや粉塵等に曝されないようにするために、エンクロージャは有害物質を除去する排気装置に接続されている。   In chemical experiments, gases and dusts that are harmful to the human body are often generated in the course of experimental work. A fume hood is one of devices that prevent the diffusion of these harmful substances into the room and prevent contamination of the human body. In general, the fume hood is provided with an enclosure (enclosure) with a sash door that can be opened and closed vertically or horizontally, and a laboratory worker can access the enclosure from the sash door. To prevent workers working in the fume hood from being exposed to harmful gases, dust, etc., the enclosure is connected to an exhaust system that removes harmful substances.

従来、ヒュームフードを管理するヒュームフード管理システムでは、小規模な給排気設備で多くのヒュームフードを設置することを目的として、ダイバーシティ(同時利用率)という思想を給排気設備設計に用いている。ダイバーシティとは、個別実験装置の最大性能の合算値よりも小さい容量で設備を設計することである。ダイバーシティを用いた設計の利点は前述のとおり、小規模な給排気設備で多くのヒュームフードを設置できることである。その半面、欠点として想定した同時利用率を上回って使用された場合、設備容量を超え、安全な使用環境を損なう可能性があった。   Conventionally, in a fume hood management system for managing a fume hood, the idea of diversity (simultaneous utilization) is used in the design of a supply / exhaust facility for the purpose of installing a large number of fume hoods with a small supply / exhaust facility. Diversity is the design of equipment with a capacity smaller than the sum of the maximum performances of the individual experimental devices. As described above, the advantage of the design using diversity is that a large number of fume hoods can be installed in a small-scale air supply / exhaust system. On the other hand, when it is used in excess of the simultaneous utilization rate assumed as a defect, there is a possibility that the facility capacity will be exceeded and the safe use environment may be impaired.

そこで、従来のヒュームフード管理システムでは、各ヒュームフードから稼動状態を示すデータを収集し、このデータに基づいて利用中のヒュームフードの同時利用台数を算出し、この同時利用台数をヒュームフードの全台数で割った同時利用率を演算し、この同時利用率を実績値として表示するようにしていた(特許文献1参照)。また、特許文献1に開示されたヒュームフード管理システムでは、複数のヒュームフードが接続された排気系統によって排出可能な最大の排気風量である設計最大排気風量と稼動状態のヒュームフードの瞬時排気風量の総和である最大排気風量との差を安全マージンとし、最大排気風量と安全マージンの実績値を表示するようにしていた。   Therefore, in the conventional fume hood management system, data indicating the operating state is collected from each fume hood, the number of simultaneous use of the fume hood is calculated based on this data, and this number of simultaneous use is calculated for all the fume hoods. The simultaneous usage rate divided by the number of units was calculated, and this simultaneous usage rate was displayed as an actual value (see Patent Document 1). Further, in the fume hood management system disclosed in Patent Document 1, the design maximum exhaust air volume that is the maximum exhaust air volume that can be discharged by an exhaust system to which a plurality of fume hoods are connected and the instantaneous exhaust air volume of the operating fume hood are determined. The difference between the maximum exhaust air volume, which is the sum, is used as the safety margin, and the actual exhaust air volume and the actual margin value are displayed.

特許第3745715号公報Japanese Patent No. 3745715

特許文献1に開示されたヒュームフード管理システムでは、同時利用率、最大排気風量、安全マージンといった情報を表示している。しかしながら、これらの情報は、給排気設備設計が妥当かどうかの判断データとして使用したり、設備改修時の基礎データとして使用したりすることも想定されているため、ヒュームフードを使用する作業者にとっては理解し難く、危険が迫っているのかもう少し余裕があるのかを作業者が即座に理解し難いという問題点があった。   In the fume hood management system disclosed in Patent Document 1, information such as the simultaneous utilization rate, the maximum exhaust air volume, and the safety margin is displayed. However, this information is also assumed to be used as judgment data for determining whether the design of the supply and exhaust facilities is appropriate, or as basic data for equipment renovation. Is difficult to understand, and it is difficult for the operator to immediately understand whether the danger is imminent or a little more.

監視装置3は、各排気バルブコントローラ2からのデータを受信するデータ受信部30と、データを記憶するデータ記憶部31と、受信したデータに基づいて各ヒュームフード1の瞬時排気風量の合計値を算出する演算部32と、瞬時排気風量の合計値が予め想定される最大排気風量を超えたときに警報通知信号を出力し、警報発生後に瞬時排気風量の合計値が最大排気風量以下になったときに復旧通知信号を出力する警報通知部33と、警報通知信号または復旧通知信号を各排気バルブコントローラ2へ送信する警報送信部34とを有する。   The monitoring device 3 includes a data receiving unit 30 that receives data from each exhaust valve controller 2, a data storage unit 31 that stores data, and a total value of the instantaneous exhaust air volume of each fume hood 1 based on the received data. An alarm notification signal is output when the total value of the calculation unit 32 and the instantaneous exhaust air volume exceeds a presumed maximum exhaust air volume, and the total value of the instantaneous exhaust air volume becomes equal to or less than the maximum exhaust air volume after the alarm is generated. An alarm notification unit 33 that sometimes outputs a recovery notification signal and an alarm transmission unit 34 that transmits the alarm notification signal or the recovery notification signal to each exhaust valve controller 2 are provided.

以下、ヒュームフード管理システムの動作について説明する。図3は排気バルブコントローラ2の動作を示すフローチャート、図4は監視装置3の動作を示すフローチャートである。   Hereinafter, the operation of the fume hood management system will be described. FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing the operation of the exhaust valve controller 2, and FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing the operation of the monitoring device 3.

各排気バルブコントローラ2のデータ収集部20は、それぞれ対応するヒュームフード1から稼働状態を示すデータを定期的に収集する(図3ステップS100)。データは、瞬時排気風量のみの場合、瞬時排気風量とサッシ開度とからなる場合、瞬時排気風量とサッシ開度と人検知センサの検知結果(作業者の在/不在)とからなる場合などがあり、ヒュームフード1の形式によって収集可能なデータが異なる。データ収集部20が収集したデータは、データ記憶部21に格納される(ステップS101)。
各排気バルブコントローラ2のデータ送信部23は、それぞれ対応するヒュームフード1から収集されたデータを監視装置3へ送信する(ステップS102)。
The data collection unit 20 of each exhaust valve controller 2 periodically collects data indicating the operating state from the corresponding fume hood 1 (step S100 in FIG. 3). The data may include instantaneous exhaust air volume, sash opening, instantaneous exhaust air volume, sash opening, and human detection sensor detection results (presence / absence of worker). Yes, the data that can be collected differs depending on the format of the fume hood 1. The data collected by the data collection unit 20 is stored in the data storage unit 21 (step S101).
The data transmission unit 23 of each exhaust valve controller 2 transmits the data collected from the corresponding fume hood 1 to the monitoring device 3 (step S102).

各排気バルブコントローラ2の制御部22は、それぞれ対応するヒュームフード1から収集されたデータに基づいて排気風量を制御する(ステップS103)。サッシ開度に応じてヒュームフード1の排気風量を変化させる変風量(VAV:Variable Air Volume )方式の場合、各排気バルブコントローラ2の制御部22は、それぞれ対応するヒュームフード1のサッシ5の開度が20%以下のときは最小排気風量にし、同開度が50%のときは排気風量を50%にし、同開度が100%のときは排気風量を100%にするといったように、サッシ5の開度に応じてヒュームフード1の排気バルブ6を調節して排気風量を変化させる。   The control unit 22 of each exhaust valve controller 2 controls the exhaust air volume based on the data collected from the corresponding fume hood 1 (step S103). In the case of a variable air volume (VAV) method that changes the exhaust air volume of the fume hood 1 according to the sash opening, the control unit 22 of each exhaust valve controller 2 opens the sash 5 of the corresponding fume hood 1. When the degree is 20% or less, the sash is set to the minimum exhaust air volume, the exhaust air volume is set to 50% when the opening is 50%, and the exhaust air volume is set to 100% when the opening is 100%. The exhaust air volume is changed by adjusting the exhaust valve 6 of the fume hood 1 according to the opening of 5.

また、作業者がいない場合は排気風量を低下させるUBC(Usage Based Controls(登録商標))方式の場合、各排気バルブコントローラ2の制御部22は、それぞれ対応するヒュームフード1に設置された人検知センサ(不図示)により、ヒュームフード1の前に作業者がいるかどうかを確認し、作業者がいるときには排気バルブ6を調節して排気風量を増やし、作業者がいないときには安全な待機レベルまで排気風量を低下させる。   Further, in the case of the UBC (Usage Based Controls (registered trademark)) system that reduces the exhaust air volume when there is no worker, the control unit 22 of each exhaust valve controller 2 detects the person installed in the corresponding fume hood 1. A sensor (not shown) confirms whether there is an operator in front of the fume hood 1 and adjusts the exhaust valve 6 to increase the exhaust air volume when there is an operator, and exhausts to a safe standby level when there is no operator. Reduce airflow.

各排気バルブコントローラ2の警報受信部24は、監視装置3から警報通知信号または復旧通知信号を受信したかどうかを判定する(ステップS104)。警報通知信号、復旧通知信号のいずれも受信しない場合は、ステップS100に戻る。こうして、ステップS100〜S104の処理が繰り返し実行される。   The alarm receiver 24 of each exhaust valve controller 2 determines whether an alarm notification signal or a recovery notification signal has been received from the monitoring device 3 (step S104). If neither the alarm notification signal nor the recovery notification signal is received, the process returns to step S100. In this way, the processing of steps S100 to S104 is repeatedly executed.

一方、監視装置3のデータ受信部30は、排気バルブコントローラ2からデータを受信すると(図4ステップS200においてYES)、受信したデータをデータ記憶部31に格納する(ステップS201)。
続いて、監視装置3の演算部32は、各排気バルブコントローラ2から受信したデータに基づいて、各ヒュームフード1の瞬時排気風量の合計値を算出する(ステップS202)。
On the other hand, when receiving data from the exhaust valve controller 2 (YES in step S200 in FIG. 4), the data receiving unit 30 of the monitoring device 3 stores the received data in the data storage unit 31 (step S201).
Subsequently, the calculation unit 32 of the monitoring device 3 calculates the total value of the instantaneous exhaust air volume of each fume hood 1 based on the data received from each exhaust valve controller 2 (step S202).

警報通知部33は、演算部32が算出した瞬時排気風量の合計値と予め想定される排気風量の最大値である最大排気風量とを比較する(ステップS203)。最大排気風量は、排気系統7によって排出可能な排気風量の限界値を若干下回る値に設定されており、瞬時排気風量の合計値が最大排気風量を超えたとしても、作業者にとって直ぐに危険な状態にはならない値に予め設定されている。   The alarm notification unit 33 compares the total value of the instantaneous exhaust air volume calculated by the calculation unit 32 with the maximum exhaust air volume that is the maximum value of the exhaust air volume assumed in advance (step S203). The maximum exhaust air volume is set to a value slightly below the limit value of the exhaust air volume that can be discharged by the exhaust system 7, and even if the total instantaneous exhaust air volume exceeds the maximum exhaust air volume, it is immediately dangerous for the operator. It is set in advance to a value that does not.

警報通知部33は、演算部32が算出した瞬時排気風量の合計値が最大排気風量を超える場合(ステップS203においてYES)、警報が発生したと判定し、警報送信部34を通じて各排気バルブコントローラ2へ警報通知信号を送信する(ステップS204)。また、警報通知部33は、排気バルブコントローラ2への警報通知後に、瞬時排気風量の合計値が最大排気風量以下になった場合(ステップS205においてYES)、警報発生状態から正常状態に復旧したと判定し、警報送信部34を通じて各排気バルブコントローラ2へ復旧通知信号を送信する(ステップS206)。こうして、ステップS200〜S206の処理が繰り返し実行される。   The alarm notification unit 33 determines that an alarm has occurred when the total value of the instantaneous exhaust air volume calculated by the calculation unit 32 exceeds the maximum exhaust air volume (YES in step S203), and the exhaust valve controller 2 through the alarm transmission unit 34. An alarm notification signal is transmitted to (step S204). Further, the alarm notifying unit 33 has recovered from the alarm occurrence state to the normal state when the total value of the instantaneous exhaust air volume is equal to or less than the maximum exhaust air volume after the alarm notification to the exhaust valve controller 2 (YES in step S205). Determination is made, and a recovery notification signal is transmitted to each exhaust valve controller 2 through the alarm transmitter 34 (step S206). In this way, the processes of steps S200 to S206 are repeatedly executed.

各排気バルブコントローラ2の警報受信部24は、ステップS104において監視装置3から警報通知信号を受信した場合、警報通知信号を警報出力部25に渡す。警報通知信号を受信した警報出力部25は、各排気バルブコントローラ2に接続されているヒュームフードモニター(不図示)を通じて、各ヒュームフード1を使用する作業者に警報が発生したことを通知する(ステップS105)。このときのヒュームフードモニターによる通知の例としては、例えばブザーや音声による通知やランプ点灯による通知などがある。   The alarm receiving unit 24 of each exhaust valve controller 2 passes the alarm notification signal to the alarm output unit 25 when receiving the alarm notification signal from the monitoring device 3 in step S104. The alarm output unit 25 that has received the alarm notification signal notifies the worker who uses each fume hood 1 that an alarm has occurred through a fume hood monitor (not shown) connected to each exhaust valve controller 2 ( Step S105). Examples of notification by the fume hood monitor at this time include notification by buzzer or voice, notification by lamp lighting, and the like.

また、各排気バルブコントローラ2の警報受信部24は、ステップS104において監視装置3から復旧通知信号を受信した場合、復旧通知信号を警報出力部25に渡す。復旧通知信号を受信した警報出力部25は、各排気バルブコントローラ2に接続されているヒュームフードモニターを通じて、各ヒュームフード1を使用する作業者に正常状態に復旧したことを通知する(ステップS105)。このときのヒュームフードモニターによる通知の例としては、例えばブザーや音声による通知やランプ消灯による通知などがある。
各排気バルブコントローラ2と監視装置3とは、ヒュームフード管理システムの動作が停止するまで(ステップS106,S207においてYES)、図3、図4に示した処理を行う。
Further, the alarm receiving unit 24 of each exhaust valve controller 2 passes the recovery notification signal to the alarm output unit 25 when receiving the recovery notification signal from the monitoring device 3 in step S104. The alarm output unit 25 that has received the recovery notification signal notifies the operator who uses each fume hood 1 that the normal state has been restored through the fume hood monitor connected to each exhaust valve controller 2 (step S105). . Examples of notification by the fume hood monitor at this time include, for example, notification by a buzzer or voice, notification by turning off the lamp, and the like.
Each exhaust valve controller 2 and the monitoring device 3 perform the processes shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 until the operation of the fume hood management system stops (YES in steps S106 and S207).

以上のように、本実施の形態では、各ヒュームフード1の瞬時排気風量の合計値を算出し、瞬時排気風量の合計値が予め想定される最大排気風量を超えたときに、警報発生を通知するようにしたので、各ヒュームフード1を使用する作業者に、危険が迫っていることを通知することができる。本実施の形態では、ヒュームフード1の複数台同時利用の安全圏内で作業可能な状態にある場合には、警報が発生しないので、作業者は安全でストレスのない環境で作業することができる。   As described above, in the present embodiment, the total value of the instantaneous exhaust air volume of each fume hood 1 is calculated, and an alarm is notified when the total value of the instantaneous exhaust air volume exceeds a presumed maximum exhaust air volume. Since it was made to do, it can notify the operator who uses each fume hood 1 that danger is imminent. In the present embodiment, when a work can be performed within a safe range where a plurality of fume hoods 1 are used simultaneously, an alarm is not generated, so that the worker can work in a safe and stress-free environment.

[第2の実施の形態]
次に、本発明の第2の実施の形態について説明する。本実施の形態においても、ヒュームフード管理システムの全体構成は第1の実施の形態と同様であるので、図1の符号を用いて説明する。
[Second Embodiment]
Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described. Also in the present embodiment, the overall configuration of the fume hood management system is the same as that of the first embodiment, and therefore, description will be made using the reference numerals in FIG.

図5は本実施の形態の排気バルブコントローラ2と監視装置3の構成を示すブロック図である。排気バルブコントローラ2は、データ収集部20と、データ記憶部21と、制御部22と、データ送信部23と、警報受信部24と、警報出力部25と、監視装置3から送られる負荷率のデータを受信するデータ受信部26と、負荷率のデータを通知するデータ出力部27とを有する。   FIG. 5 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the exhaust valve controller 2 and the monitoring device 3 of the present embodiment. The exhaust valve controller 2 includes a data collection unit 20, a data storage unit 21, a control unit 22, a data transmission unit 23, an alarm reception unit 24, an alarm output unit 25, and a load factor sent from the monitoring device 3. It has a data receiving unit 26 that receives data, and a data output unit 27 that notifies load factor data.

監視装置3は、データ受信部30と、データ記憶部31と、収集されたデータに基づいて各ヒュームフード1の瞬時排気風量の合計値を算出し、この瞬時排気風量の合計値と予め想定される最大排気風量とから負荷率を算出する演算部32aと、負荷率が所定の閾値を超えたときに警報通知信号を出力し、警報発生後に負荷率が閾値以下になったときに復旧通知信号を出力する警報通知部33aと、警報送信部34と、負荷率のデータを各排気バルブコントローラ2へ送信するデータ送信部35とを有する。   The monitoring device 3 calculates the total value of the instantaneous exhaust air volume of each fume hood 1 based on the data reception unit 30, the data storage unit 31, and the collected data, and is assumed in advance as the total value of the instantaneous exhaust air volume. A calculation unit 32a that calculates a load factor from the maximum exhaust air volume, and an alarm notification signal that is output when the load factor exceeds a predetermined threshold, and a recovery notification signal that is output when the load factor falls below the threshold after the alarm is generated. The alarm notification unit 33a that outputs the alarm, the alarm transmission unit 34, and the data transmission unit 35 that transmits the load factor data to each exhaust valve controller 2.

以下、本実施の形態のヒュームフード管理システムの動作について説明する。図6は排気バルブコントローラ2の動作を示すフローチャート、図7は監視装置3の動作を示すフローチャートである。   Hereinafter, the operation of the fume hood management system of the present embodiment will be described. FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing the operation of the exhaust valve controller 2, and FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing the operation of the monitoring device 3.

排気バルブコントローラ2のステップS100〜S106の処理は、第1の実施の形態と同様である。ステップS107,S108の処理については後述する。
監視装置3のステップS200,S201の処理は、第1の実施の形態と同様である。
The processing of steps S100 to S106 of the exhaust valve controller 2 is the same as in the first embodiment. Steps S107 and S108 will be described later.
The processes in steps S200 and S201 of the monitoring device 3 are the same as those in the first embodiment.

監視装置3の演算部32aは、各排気バルブコントローラ2から受信したデータに基づいて、各ヒュームフード1の瞬時排気風量の合計値を算出し、この瞬時排気風量の合計値を予め想定される排気風量の最大値である最大排気風量で割ることにより負荷率を算出する(図7ステップS208)。第1の実施の形態で説明したとおり、最大排気風量は、排気系統7によって排出可能な排気風量の限界値を若干下回る値に設定されている。   The calculation unit 32a of the monitoring device 3 calculates the total value of the instantaneous exhaust air volume of each fume hood 1 based on the data received from each exhaust valve controller 2, and the total value of this instantaneous exhaust air volume is assumed in advance. The load factor is calculated by dividing by the maximum exhaust air volume which is the maximum air volume (step S208 in FIG. 7). As described in the first embodiment, the maximum exhaust air volume is set to a value slightly below the limit value of the exhaust air volume that can be discharged by the exhaust system 7.

警報通知部33aは、演算部32aが算出した負荷率と所定の閾値とを比較する(ステップS209)。最大排気風量は、排気系統7によって排出可能な排気風量の限界値を若干下回る値に設定されており、負荷率が閾値を超えたとしても、作業者にとって直ぐに危険な状態にはならないように設定されている。   The alarm notification unit 33a compares the load factor calculated by the calculation unit 32a with a predetermined threshold value (step S209). The maximum exhaust air volume is set to a value that is slightly below the limit value of the exhaust air volume that can be discharged by the exhaust system 7, and it is set so that even if the load factor exceeds the threshold, it is not immediately dangerous for the operator. Has been.

警報通知部33aは、演算部32aが算出した負荷率が閾値を超える場合(ステップS209においてYES)、警報が発生したと判定し、警報送信部34を通じて各排気バルブコントローラ2へ警報通知信号を送信する(ステップS210)。また、警報通知部33aは、排気バルブコントローラ2への警報通知後に、負荷率が閾値以下になった場合(ステップS211においてYES)、警報発生状態から正常状態に復旧したと判定し、警報送信部34を通じて各排気バルブコントローラ2へ復旧通知信号を送信する(ステップS212)。   When the load factor calculated by the calculation unit 32a exceeds the threshold value (YES in step S209), the alarm notification unit 33a determines that an alarm has occurred and transmits an alarm notification signal to each exhaust valve controller 2 through the alarm transmission unit 34. (Step S210). Further, the alarm notification unit 33a determines that the alarm generation state is restored to the normal state when the load factor becomes equal to or lower than the threshold value after the alarm notification to the exhaust valve controller 2 (YES in step S211), and the alarm transmission unit A recovery notification signal is transmitted to each exhaust valve controller 2 through 34 (step S212).

監視装置3のデータ送信部35は、演算部32aが算出した負荷率のデータを各排気バルブコントローラ2へ送信する(ステップS213)。こうして、ステップS200,S201,S208〜S213の処理が繰り返し実行される。   The data transmission unit 35 of the monitoring device 3 transmits the load factor data calculated by the calculation unit 32a to each exhaust valve controller 2 (step S213). In this way, the processes of steps S200, S201, and S208 to S213 are repeatedly executed.

監視装置3から警報通知信号または復旧通知信号を受信したときの各排気バルブコントローラ2の動作は、第1の実施の形態で説明したとおりである(図6のステップS104,S105)。
また、各排気バルブコントローラ2のデータ受信部26は、監視装置3から負荷率のデータを受信すると(ステップS107においてYES)、このデータをデータ出力部27に渡す。データ出力部27は、各排気バルブコントローラ2に接続されているヒュームフードモニター(不図示)を通じて、各ヒュームフード1を使用する作業者に負荷率を通知する(ステップS108)。このときのヒュームフードモニターによる通知の例としては、例えば画面表示や音声による通知などがある。
The operation of each exhaust valve controller 2 when receiving an alarm notification signal or a recovery notification signal from the monitoring device 3 is as described in the first embodiment (steps S104 and S105 in FIG. 6).
Further, when the data receiving unit 26 of each exhaust valve controller 2 receives the load factor data from the monitoring device 3 (YES in step S107), the data receiving unit 26 passes this data to the data output unit 27. The data output unit 27 notifies the load factor to the worker who uses each fume hood 1 through a fume hood monitor (not shown) connected to each exhaust valve controller 2 (step S108). Examples of the notification by the fume hood monitor at this time include, for example, a screen display and a voice notification.

以上のように、本実施の形態では、各ヒュームフード1の瞬時排気風量の合計値を算出し、瞬時排気風量の合計値と予め想定される最大排気風量とから負荷率を算出し、負荷率が所定の閾値を超えたときに、警報発生を通知するようにしたので、各ヒュームフード1を使用する作業者に、危険が迫っていることを通知することができる。   As described above, in the present embodiment, the total value of the instantaneous exhaust air volume of each fume hood 1 is calculated, and the load factor is calculated from the total value of the instantaneous exhaust air volume and the maximum exhaust air volume assumed in advance. Since the alarm is notified when the value exceeds a predetermined threshold, it is possible to notify the worker using each fume hood 1 that the danger is imminent.

また、本実施の形態では、作業者に負荷率のデータを通知するようにしたので、作業者が事前にまたは作業中に設備の負荷状況を知ることができる。その結果、負荷率のデータを見た作業者がヒュームフードの使用を見送るといった自己抑制を期待できるので、ヒュームフードの使用者が次々と増えて設備の負荷が限界に近づくといった危険性を回避することができ、安全な環境を作業者に提供することができる。   In the present embodiment, since the load factor data is notified to the worker, the worker can know the load status of the facility in advance or during the work. As a result, it is possible to expect self-suppression that workers who look at the load factor data forego the use of the fume hood, thereby avoiding the danger that the number of fume hood users will increase one after another and the load on the equipment will approach the limit. It is possible to provide a safe environment to workers.

なお、第1、第2の実施の形態では、各排気バルブコントローラ2がヒュームフード1からデータを定期的に収集して監視装置3へ送信しているが、これに限るものではなく、ヒュームフード1の瞬時排気風量に変化が発生した場合に、この瞬時排気風量のデータを収集して監視装置3へ送信するようにしてもよい。   In the first and second embodiments, each exhaust valve controller 2 periodically collects data from the fume hood 1 and transmits it to the monitoring device 3, but the present invention is not limited to this. When a change occurs in the instantaneous exhaust air volume of 1, the instantaneous exhaust air volume data may be collected and transmitted to the monitoring device 3.

また、警報通知と復旧通知を繰り返すハンチングを防止するため、所定時間以上の間、瞬時排気風量の合計値が最大排気風量を超えているとき(第1の実施の形態の場合)、あるいは所定時間以上の間、負荷率が閾値を超えているときに(第2の実施の形態の場合)、警報発生と判断するようにしてもよい。   Further, in order to prevent hunting that repeats the alarm notification and the recovery notification, when the total value of the instantaneous exhaust airflow exceeds the maximum exhaust airflow for a predetermined time or more (in the case of the first embodiment), or for a predetermined time During the above, when the load factor exceeds the threshold value (in the case of the second embodiment), it may be determined that an alarm has occurred.

なお、第1、第2の実施の形態において排気バルブコントローラ2と監視装置3の各々は、それぞれCPU、メモリおよびインタフェースを備えたコンピュータとこれらのハードウェア資源を制御するプログラムによって実現することができる。排気バルブコントローラ2と監視装置3の各々のCPUは、メモリに格納されたプログラムに従って第1、第2の実施の形態で説明した処理を実行する。   In the first and second embodiments, each of the exhaust valve controller 2 and the monitoring device 3 can be realized by a computer having a CPU, a memory and an interface, and a program for controlling these hardware resources. . Each CPU of the exhaust valve controller 2 and the monitoring device 3 executes the processing described in the first and second embodiments in accordance with a program stored in the memory.
