Note that in each drawing, some of the components may be omitted in order to facilitate understanding.

[0019] Terms including ordinal numbers such as first, second, etc. are used to describe various components, but these terms are used only for the purpose of distinguishing one component from another, and the components are not particularly limited by these terms. The number of components including ordinal numbers is not particularly limited, and may be, for example, one. In addition, the ordinal numbers used in the following specification and drawings may differ from the ordinal numbers described in the claims.

[0020] Hereinafter, an embodiment of an elevator inspection system and an inspection device will be described with reference to Figures 1 to 8. Note that the following embodiment is provided as an example to aid in understanding the configuration of the elevator inspection system and the inspection device, and does not limit the configuration of the elevator inspection system and the inspection device.

[0021] 1 and 2, an elevator inspection system (hereinafter also simply referred to as an "inspection system") 1 may include, for example, an elevator 2, and a measuring device 3 and an inspection device 4 that inspect the elevator 2. The elevator 2, the measuring device 3, and the inspection device 4 may be able to communicate with each other, for example, by a communication means 5. Although not particularly limited, the communication means 5 may be, for example, a wired communication means such as a wired LAN or a communication cable, or may be, for example, a wireless communication means such as the Internet, Bluetooth, or a wireless LAN.

[0022] The elevator 2 may, for example, as in this embodiment, be equipped with a car 2a and a counterweight 2b, a rope 2c connecting the car 2a and the counterweight 2b, a hoist 2d that drives the rope 2c to move the car 2a and the counterweight 2b in an up and down direction, a car rail 2e that guides the car 2a, a counterweight rail 2f that guides the counterweight 2b, an input device 6 to which data is input, a processing device 7 that processes the data, and an output device 8 that outputs the data.

[0023] In addition, the elevator 2 according to this embodiment is configured such that the hoisting machine 2d is disposed inside the machine room X2, but is not limited to such a configuration. For example, the elevator 2 may be configured such that the machine room X2 is not provided and the hoisting machine 2d is disposed inside the hoistway X1.

[0024] The input device 6 may include, for example, a car operating panel 6a arranged in the car 2a, a hall operating panel 6b arranged in the hall X3, an inspector operating unit (not shown) arranged in the car 2a (for example, on or inside) or in the machine room X2, etc., and operated by an inspector. The input device 6 may include, for example, a manual movement input unit 6c, a movement direction input unit 6d, and a movement speed input unit 6e, as in this embodiment.

[0025] The manual movement input unit 6c may receive, for example, manual movement data instructing manual movement of the car 2a. The movement direction input unit 6d may receive, for example, movement direction data instructing the movement direction (upward, downward) of the manually moved car 2a. The movement speed input unit 6e may receive, for example, movement speed data instructing the movement speed of the manually moved car 2a.

[0026] Although not particularly limited, the movement speed data input to the movement speed input unit 6e may be, for example, data in which the maximum movement speed of the car 2a includes at least two types of speeds (for example, a first speed (low speed) and a second speed (high speed) faster than the first speed). Furthermore, although not particularly limited, for example, the manual movement input unit 6c, the movement direction input unit 6d and the movement speed input unit 6e may be provided in an inspector operation unit.

[0027] The output device 8 may include, for example, a car output unit 8a arranged in the car 2a, a hall output unit 8b arranged in the hall X3, etc. The output device 8 may display data, for example, or may sound out data, for example.

[0028] For example, during normal operation, the processing device 7 may control the hoist 2d based on data input to the input device 6 (for example, destination floor data input to the car operating panel 6a, destination direction data input to the hall operating panel 6b, etc.). As a result, the car 2a moves in the vertical direction from the departure hall X3 to the destination hall X3.

[0029] Furthermore, the processing device 7 may output, for example, the current position of the car 2a (car position) to the inspection device 4. Although not particularly limited, for example, the car positions may be divided into 100 mm intervals, and the processing device 7 may output the current car position to the inspection device 4 every time the car 2a moves 100 mm.

[0030] The measuring device 3 may measure the distance between the car 2a and the car rail 2e, for example, as in this embodiment. The measuring device 3 may be fixed to the upper part of the car 2a, and provided in pairs so as to face each of the car rails 2e, for example, as in this embodiment. The measuring device 3 may output the measured measurement value to the inspection device 4, for example. Note that, although not particularly limited, the measuring device 3 may be composed of a plurality of distance sensors, for example.

[0031] The inspection device 4 may be, for example, a portable terminal device. Although not particularly limited, the inspection device 4 may be, for example, a notebook computer, or may be, for example, a tablet computer, or may be, for example, a smart device (smartphone). Although not particularly limited, the inspection device 4 may be, for example, disposed on the car 2a.

[0032] As shown in Fig. 3, the elevator 2 may include, for example, a plurality of rail connection parts 9 arranged in the vertical direction to connect a car rail 2e extending in the vertical direction to a wall X1a of the hoistway X1. As a result, the car rail 2e is fixed to the hoistway X1 by the plurality of rail connection parts 9. Note that the number of rail connection parts 9 is not particularly limited, and only two are illustrated in Fig. 3.

[0033] The rail connection portion 9 may, for example, as in this embodiment, include a first bracket 9a fixed to a wall X1a of the hoistway X1, a second bracket 9b fixed to the first bracket 9a, a first fixing means 9c fixing the first bracket 9a and the second bracket 9b, and a second fixing means 9d fixing the car rail 2e to the second bracket 9b. Thereby, for example, by changing the position of the second bracket 9b relative to the first bracket 9a, the position of the car rail 2e relative to the hoistway X1 is changed.

[0034] Although not particularly limited, the first and second brackets 9a, 9b may be made of a steel material having an L-shaped cross section, as in this embodiment. Also, although not particularly limited, the first and second fixing means 9c, 9d may be made of a fastening means using a male screw material and a female screw material, as in this embodiment.

[0035] 4, the inspection device 4 may include an input unit 11 to which data is input, a processing unit 12 to process the data, and an output unit 13 to output the data. The processing unit 12 may include, for example, an acquisition unit 14 to acquire data, a storage unit 15 to store the data, a calculation unit 16 to calculate the data, and a control unit 17 to control each unit of the inspection device 4, as in this embodiment.

[0036] The inspection device 4 may be configured, for example, as one device, or may be configured, for example, as multiple devices that can communicate with each other. Specifically, the units 11, 12, and 13 of the inspection device 4 may be provided, for example, in one device, or may be provided, for example, distributed across multiple devices that can communicate with each other.

[0037] The configuration of the input unit 11 is not particularly limited, but the input unit 11 may be, for example, a mouse, a keyboard, a touch panel, a switch (a push button switch, a select switch, etc.), or the like.

[0038] The output unit 13 may include, for example, a display unit 18 that displays data, a sound generating unit 19 that generates the data as sound, and a transmission unit (not shown) that transmits the data to the outside (for example, the elevator 2, etc.) as in this embodiment. The configurations of the display unit 18 and the sound generating unit 19 are not particularly limited, but the display unit 18 may be, for example, a monitor, an electronic bulletin board, a display light, etc., and the sound generating unit 19 may be, for example, a buzzer, a speaker, etc.

[0039] The processing unit 12 may be a computer equipped with a processor such as a CPU and an MPU (e.g., the calculation unit 16, the control unit 17), a memory such as a ROM and a RAM (e.g., the acquisition unit 14, the storage unit 15), various interfaces, etc. As a result, the processor executes a program stored in the memory, and the respective units 14, 15, 16, and 17 of the processing unit 12 are realized by the cooperation of the software and hardware.

[0040] The processing unit 12 may be configured, for example, as one device, or may be configured, for example, as multiple devices that can communicate with each other. Specifically, the units 14, 15, 16, and 17 of the processing unit 12 may be provided, for example, in one device, or may be provided, for example, distributed among multiple devices that can communicate with each other.

[0041] The storage unit 15 may include, for example, a measurement data storage unit 15a as in this embodiment. In this specification, storage includes not only the case where data is stored until it is deleted by an input instruction, but also the case where data is temporarily stored for use in the calculation of the calculation unit 16 and deleted after the calculation is completed regardless of the input instruction.

[0042] The measurement data storage unit 15a may store, for example, a measurement value output by the measurement device 3 and a car position output by the processing device 7 in association with each other. For example, the measurement data storage unit 15a may store a measurement value and a car position acquired at the same timing by the acquisition unit 14 in association with each other.

[0043] The calculation unit 16 may include, for example, an abnormality determination unit 16a and a remeasurement determination unit 16b, as in this embodiment.

[0044] The abnormality determination unit 16a may, for example, determine an abnormality in a measurement value of the measurement data stored in the measurement data storage unit 15a. For example, when the magnitude of the measurement value of the measurement data is greater than a set value, the abnormality determination unit 16a may determine that the car rail 2e is abnormal at the car position stored in association with the measurement value.

[0045] The re-measurement determination unit 16b may, for example, classify the car positions of the measurement data into car positions to be measured and car positions not to be measured and car positions not to be measured and car positions not to be measured and car positions not to be measured, based on the measurement values ​​of the measurement data stored in the measurement data storage unit 15a.

[0046] The display unit 18 may include, for example, a measurement value display unit 18a, an abnormal car position display unit 18b, a current position display unit 18c, and a remeasurement position display unit 18d, as in this embodiment. Each of the display units 18a to 18d may display the respective data on a screen, as in this embodiment.

[0047] The measurement value display unit 18a may display, for example, a measurement value measured by the measurement device 3. The abnormal car position display unit 18b may display, for example, a car position stored in association with a measurement value determined to be abnormal by the abnormality determination unit 16a. The current position display unit 18c may display, for example, the current car position. The remeasurement position display unit 18d may display, for example, the car position of a measurement target to be remeasured by the measurement device 3.

[0048] The input unit 11 may include, for example, a measurement instruction input unit 11a, a position selection input unit 11b, and a remeasurement instruction input unit 11c, as in this embodiment.

[0049] The measurement instruction input unit 11a may, for example, receive input of measurement instruction data instructing measurement by the measuring device 3. The position selection input unit 11b may, for example, receive input of position selection data for selecting a target car position from among the car positions displayed in the abnormal car position display unit 18b of the display unit 18. The remeasurement instruction input unit 11c may, for example, receive input of remeasurement instruction data instructing remeasurement by the measuring device 3.

[0050] The configuration of the inspection system 1 according to this embodiment is as described above, and next, an inspection method of the inspection system 1 according to this embodiment will be described with reference to Fig. 5 to Fig. 8. Note that the following inspection method is provided as an example to help understand the inspection method of the inspection system 1, and is not intended to limit the inspection method of the inspection system 1.

[0051] The inspection method may include, for example, as in this embodiment, an abnormality determination step of determining an abnormality in the car rail 2e by making measurements with the measuring device 3, a checking and adjustment step of moving to an abnormal location on the car rail 2e and checking and adjusting the car rail 2e, and an abnormality re-determination step of re-measuring with the measuring device 3 to determine an abnormality in the car rail 2e. Note that the inspection device 4 may, for example, be in an abnormality determination mode in the abnormality determination step, in a car movement mode in the checking and adjustment step, and in an abnormality re-determination mode in the abnormality re-determination step.

[0052] <Abnormality determination process> First, the abnormality determination process will be described.

[0053] For example, an inspector may input measurement instruction data into the measurement instruction input unit 11a. Although not particularly limited, the measurement instruction input unit 11a may be configured to allow data input by, for example, placing a mouse pointer on a predetermined position on the display unit 18 and clicking the mouse, or may be configured to allow data input by, for example, touching a predetermined position on the display unit 18.

[0054] As a result, the output unit 13 outputs the measurement instruction data, and the processing device 7 moves the car 2a based on the measurement instruction data output by the output unit 13. For example, the car 2a may automatically move upward from the landing X3 on the lowest floor, which is the measurement start position, to the landing X3 on the top floor, which is the measurement end position.

[0055] Although not particularly limited, the moving speed of the car 2a may be constant at a first speed (low speed). Furthermore, although not particularly limited, for example, the first speed may be 25% to 50% of the rated speed during normal operation of the car 2a. Furthermore, although not particularly limited, for example, the first speed may be 40 m / min to 50 m / min.

[0056] At this time, as the car 2a moves, the measurement data storage unit 15a stores the measurement value output by the measurement device 3 and the car position output by the processing device 7 as measurement data in association with each other. Then, the abnormality determination unit 16a determines an abnormality in the measurement value based on the measurement data stored in the measurement data storage unit 15a.

[0057] 5, the abnormal car position display unit 18b may display, in a list, the car positions stored in association with the measurement values ​​determined to be abnormal (hereinafter, also referred to as "abnormal car positions"). This allows the inspection results of the car rail 2e to be easily understood by checking the abnormal car positions displayed in the list. Then, the car positions for which the measurement values ​​of the measuring device 3 were abnormal can be understood.

[0058] Also, as shown in Fig. 5, the abnormal car position display unit 18b may display, for example, car positions stored in association with measurements determined to be normal (hereinafter also referred to as "normal car positions") together with abnormal car positions. Note that in Fig. 5, the abnormal car positions are car positions "N+5" to "N+7" displayed as "abnormal." Also, in Fig. 5, the set value is illustrated by a two-dot chain line, and when the measured value is greater than the set value, the measured value is determined to be abnormal.

[0059] Note that the abnormal car position display unit 18b may be capable of simultaneously displaying some of the abnormal car positions as shown in Fig. 5, and displaying all of the abnormal car positions in a list by performing an operation such as scrolling. Note that the abnormal car position display unit 18b is not limited to such a configuration, and may, for example, simultaneously display all of the abnormal car positions in a list.

[0060] Also, as shown in Fig. 5, the measurement value display section 18a may include, for example, a first measurement value display section 18a (the measurement value display section 18a on the right in Fig. 5) that displays all measurement values ​​of the measurement data, and a second measurement value display section 18a (the measurement value display section 18a on the left in Fig. 5) that displays only the measurement values ​​of the car positions displayed in the abnormal car position display section 18b. Note that in Fig. 5, the second measurement value display section 18a displays an enlarged area defined by a dashed line in the first measurement value display section 18a.

[0061] <Confirmation and adjustment process> Next, the checking and adjusting process will be described.

[0062] For example, an inspector may input, into the position selection input unit 11b, position selection data for selecting a target car position from among the car positions displayed in the abnormal car position display unit 18b. As a result, as shown in Fig. 6, the current position display unit 18c displays the distance from the current car position to the car position selected by the position selection data (hereinafter also referred to as the "selected car position"). Therefore, it is possible to grasp the position of the selected car position relative to the current car position. In Fig. 6, the selected car position is the "N+6" car position.

[0063] In addition, although not limited to this, the position selection input unit 11b may be configured, for example, such that data can be input by placing the mouse pointer on the car position position in the abnormal car position display unit 18b and clicking the mouse, or may be configured, for example, such that data can be input by touching the car position position in the abnormal car position display unit 18b.

[0064] For example, the inspector may input upward or downward movement direction data to the movement direction input unit 6d, input second speed (high speed) movement speed data to the movement speed input unit 6e, and input manual movement data to the manual movement input unit 6c. As a result, the car 2a moves manually so that the maximum speed is the second speed.

[0065] Incidentally, although not particularly limited, the second speed may be, for example, 5% to 15% of the rated speed during normal operation of the car 2a.Furthermore, although not particularly limited, the second speed may be, for example, 30% to 50% of the first speed.Furthermore, although not particularly limited, the second speed may be, for example, 10 m / min to 20 m / min.

[0066] When the car 2a is located within a set distance (for example, 1.0 m to 1.5 m) from the selected car position, the output unit 13 may output position approach data by at least one of a sound and a display. By this, the position approach data is output, so that it is possible to grasp that the position of the car 2a is close to the selected car position.

[0067] Then, when the position approach data is output, the inspector may input, for example, the first speed movement speed data to the movement speed input unit 6e. As a result, the car 2a moves manually so as to be constant at the first speed (low speed). Then, the car 2a is moved to a position where the distance displayed on the current position display unit 18c becomes zero, and the car 2a is located at the selected car position.

[0068] When the car 2a is located at the selected car position, the output unit 13 may output the position arrival data by at least one of a sound and a display, for example. As a result, the car 2a is moved to the position where the position arrival data is output, so that the car 2a is located at the selected car position.

[0069] In this way, the car 2a moves at the second speed (high speed) to a position that is a set distance away from the selected car position, so that the car 2a can be moved quickly to a position close to the selected car position, for example. After that, the car 2a moves at the first speed (low speed) to the selected car position, so that the car 2a can be easily stopped at the selected car position, for example.

[0070] For example, the position approach data displayed by the display unit 18 may be text indicating that the car 2a is approaching the selected car position, and the position arrival data displayed by the display unit 18 may be text indicating that the car 2a is located at the selected car position. For example, the position approach data displayed by the display unit 18 may be intermittent lighting (for example, blinking the indicator light), and the position arrival data displayed by the display unit 18 may be continuous lighting (for example, continuous lighting of the indicator light).

[0071] Also, for example, the position approach data sounded by the sounding unit 19 may be a voice indicating that the car 2a is approaching the selected car position, and the position arrival data sounded by the sounding unit 19 may be a voice indicating that the car 2a is located at the selected car position. Also, for example, the position approach data sounded by the sounding unit 19 may be sounded intermittently (for example, a buzzer sound is sounded intermittently), and the position arrival data sounded by the sounding unit 19 may be sounded continuously (for example, a buzzer sound is sounded continuously).

[0072] Also, for example, the display unit 18 may be configured to display the above-mentioned position approach data, and the sound output unit 19 may sound the above-mentioned position arrival data. Also, for example, the sound output unit 19 may be configured to sound the above-mentioned position approach data, and the display unit 18 may display the above-mentioned position arrival data. That is, the position approach data output by the output unit 13 is different from the position arrival data output by the output unit 13.

[0073] Then, by moving the car 2a to the selected car position, the car 2a moves to the abnormal part of the car rail 2e, and therefore the car rail 2e is checked and adjusted. For example, by changing the position of the second bracket 9b relative to the first bracket 9a, the position of the car rail 2e relative to the hoistway X1 is changed. Note that, for example, such work may be performed for all abnormal car positions.

[0074] <Abnormality re-judgment process> Next, the abnormality re-determination step will be described.

[0075] For example, an inspector may input remeasurement instruction data to remeasurement instruction input unit 11c. As a result, remeasurement determination unit 16b classifies the car positions of the measurement data into car positions to be measured again by measuring device 3 and car positions not to be measured again by measuring device 3, for example, based on the measurement values ​​of the measurement data.

[0076] Then, re-measurement position display unit 18d may display the car position of the measurement target, for example, as shown in Fig. 7. In Fig. 7, re-measurement position display unit 18d indicates the car position of the measurement target by a hatched area. Note that abnormal car position display unit 18b also indicates the car position of the measurement target by a hatched area.

[0077] The cage positions to be measured include, for example, at least the abnormal cage positions. Although not particularly limited, for example, the abnormal cage positions (in FIG. 7, cage positions "N+6" to "N+8") and cage positions in set ranges adjacent thereto above and below (in FIG. 7, cage positions "N+4" to "N+5" and "N+9" to "N+10") may be set as cage positions to be measured.

[0078] Then, after the car 2a is positioned at the landing X3 on the lowest floor, the inspector may, for example, input upward movement direction data to the movement direction input unit 6d, input second speed movement speed data to the movement speed input unit 6e, and input manual movement data to the manual movement input unit 6c. In this way, the car 2a moves manually so that the maximum speed becomes the second speed.

[0079] When the car 2a is located within a set distance (for example, 1.0 m to 1.5 m) from the car position of the measurement target, the output unit 13 may output the target approach data by at least one of a sound and a display. By this, by outputting the target approach data, it is possible to grasp that the position of the car 2a is close to the car position of the measurement target.

[0080] Then, by outputting the target approach data, the inspector may input the moving speed data of the first speed, for example, to the moving speed input unit 6e. As a result, the car 2a is manually moved so as to be constant at the first speed.

[0081] When the car 2a is located at the car position to be measured, the output unit 13 may output the target position data by at least one of a sound and a display, for example. This allows the inspector to know that the car 2a is located at the car position to be measured. Therefore, for example, an inspector riding in the car 2a can confirm the swaying of the car 2a at the car position to be measured.

[0082] Furthermore, when the car 2a moves to a car position that is the subject of measurement, the measurement data storage unit 15a, for example, associates the measurement value output by the measurement device 3 with the car position output by the processing device 7 and stores them as re-measurement data. Note that, without being limited to such a configuration, the measurement data storage unit 15a may also associate the measurement value output by the measurement device 3 with the car position output by the processing device 7 and store them as re-measurement data when the car 2a moves not only to a car position that is the subject of measurement but also to a car position that is not the subject of measurement.

[0083] Thereafter, when the car 2a is located at a car position that is not the object of measurement, the output unit 13 stops outputting the object position data. Then, when the output of the object position data is stopped, the inspector may input the second speed of travel speed data to the travel speed input unit 6e, for example. As a result, the car 2a is manually moved so that the maximum speed becomes the second speed.

[0084] In this way, since the car 2a moves at the second speed (high speed) until the target approach data is output, for example, the car 2a can move quickly through car positions that are not targets of measurement. And, since the car 2a moves at a constant first speed (low speed) through car positions that are targets of measurement, the measurement by the measuring device 3 in the abnormality re-determination process is under the same conditions as the measurement by the measuring device 3 in the abnormality determination process.

[0085] This allows, for example, re-measurement to be performed by the measuring device 3 only on the cage positions that are the measurement targets. In addition, after the output of the target position data has stopped, the cage 2a moves at the second speed (high speed), so that, for example, the cage 2a can move quickly to cage positions that are not the measurement targets.

[0086] For example, the target approach data displayed by the display unit 18 may be text indicating that the car 2a is approaching the car position of the measurement target, and the target position data displayed by the display unit 18 may be text indicating that the car 2a is located at the car position of the measurement target. For example, the target approach data displayed by the display unit 18 may be intermittently lit (for example, blinking the indicator light), and the target position data displayed by the display unit 18 may be continuously lit (for example, continuously lighting the indicator light).

[0087] Also, for example, the target approach data sounded by the sounding unit 19 may be a voice indicating that the car 2a is approaching the car position of the measurement target, and the target position data sounded by the sounding unit 19 may be a voice indicating that the car 2a is located at the car position of the measurement target. Also, for example, the target position data sounded by the sounding unit 19 may be sounded intermittently (for example, a buzzer sound is sounded intermittently), and the target position data sounded by the sounding unit 19 may be sounded continuously (for example, a buzzer sound is sounded continuously).

[0088] Also, for example, the display unit 18 may be configured to display the above-mentioned target position data, and the sound output unit 19 may sound the above-mentioned target position data. Also, for example, the sound output unit 19 may be configured to sound the above-mentioned target approach data, and the display unit 18 may display the above-mentioned target position data. That is, the target approach data output by the output unit 13 is different from the target position data output by the output unit 13.

[0089] Then, as shown in Fig. 8, the measurement value display unit 18a may display, for example, the measurement data from the abnormality determination step and the remeasurement data from the abnormality re-determination step in an overlapping manner. In Fig. 8, the measurement data is illustrated by a dashed line, the remeasurement data is illustrated by a solid line, and the measurement values ​​of the remeasurement data are all smaller than the set value.

[0090] Then, the abnormality determination unit 16a determines whether the measurement value is abnormal based on, for example, the remeasurement data stored in the measurement data storage unit 15a. In Fig. 8, the abnormal car position display unit 18b displays only normal car positions without displaying abnormal car positions. In other words, the abnormal car position display unit 18b does not display any car positions as "abnormal". This makes it possible to make the installation state of the car rail 2e appropriate.

[0091] As described above, the elevator inspection system 1 according to the present embodiment has the following features: A measuring device 3 that measures at least one of the distance between the car 2a and the car rail 2e and the sway of the car 2a (in this embodiment, the distance between the car 2a and the car rail 2e) and outputs the measured value; A processing device 7 that outputs the current cage position; an inspection device 4 having a storage unit 15 for storing data, a calculation unit 16 for calculating the data, and an output unit 13 for outputting the data; The memory unit 15 stores the measurement data in association with the measurement value and the cage position, The calculation unit 16 determines whether the measurement value of the measurement data is abnormal, The output unit 13 includes a display unit 18 that displays the cage position stored in association with the measurement value determined to be abnormal. This configuration is preferred.

[0092] According to this configuration, the measurement value output by the measurement device 3 and the car position output by the processing device 7 are stored in association with each other as measurement data. Then, an abnormality in the measurement value of the measurement data is judged, and the car position stored in association with the measurement value judged to be abnormal is displayed. This makes it possible to grasp the car position where the measurement value of the measurement device 3 was abnormal.

[0093] In addition, in the elevator inspection system 1, as in this embodiment, The inspection device 4 includes an input unit 11 to which data is input, The input unit 11 receives position selection data for selecting a target cage position from among cage positions displayed on the display unit 18, The output unit 13 outputs position arrival data by at least one of a sound and a display when the cage 2a is located at the cage position selected by the position selection data. This configuration is preferred.

[0094] According to this configuration, when the car 2a is located at the car position selected by the position selection data, the position arrival data is output by at least one of sound and display. As a result, the car 2a is moved to the position where the position arrival data is output, so that the car 2a can be positioned at the car position selected by the position selection data.

[0095] In addition, in the elevator inspection system 1, as in this embodiment, The output unit 13 outputs position approach data by at least one of a sound and a display when the cage 2a is located within a set distance from the cage position selected by the position selection data. This configuration is preferred.

[0096] According to this configuration, when the car 2a is located within a set distance from the car position selected by the position selection data, the position approach data is output by at least one of sound and display. As a result, by outputting the position approach data, it is possible to grasp that the position of the car 2a is close to the selected car position.

[0097] In addition, in the elevator inspection system 1, as in this embodiment, The inspection device 4 includes an input unit 11 to which data is input, The input unit 11 receives position selection data for selecting a target cage position from among cage positions displayed on the display unit 18, The display unit 18 displays the distance from the current car position to the car position selected by the position selection data. This configuration is preferred.

[0098] According to this configuration, the distance from the current car position to the car position selected by the position selection data is displayed. As a result, the car 2a is moved to a position where the distance becomes zero, so that the car 2a can be positioned at the car position selected by the position selection data.

[0099] In addition, in the elevator inspection system 1, as in this embodiment, The inspection device 4 includes an input unit 11 to which data is input, The input unit 11 receives remeasurement instruction data for instructing the measurement device 3 to perform a remeasurement, When the re-measurement instruction data is input to the input unit 11, the calculation unit 16 classifies the car positions of the measurement data into car positions to be measured again by the measurement device 3 and car positions not to be measured again by the measurement device 3, based on the measurement values ​​of the measurement data. This configuration is preferred.

[0100] According to this configuration, when re-measurement instruction data is input to the input unit 11, the cage positions of the measurement data are classified into cage positions to be measured and re-measured by the measurement device 3, and cage positions not to be measured and not re-measured by the measurement device 3, based on the measurement values ​​of the measurement data.

[0101] In addition, in the elevator inspection system 1, as in this embodiment, The output unit 13 outputs target position data by at least one of sound and display when the cage 2a is located at the cage position of the measurement target. This configuration is preferred.

[0102] According to this configuration, when the car 2a is located at the car position of the measurement target, the target position data is output by at least one of sound and display. As a result, by outputting the target position data, it is possible to grasp that the car 2a is located at the car position of the measurement target.

[0103] In addition, in the elevator inspection system 1, as in this embodiment, The output unit 13 outputs target approach data by at least one of a sound and a display when the cage 2a is located within a set distance from the cage position of the measurement target. This configuration is preferred.

[0104] According to this configuration, when the car 2a is located within a set distance from the car position of the measurement target, target approach data is output by at least one of sound and display. As a result, by outputting the target approach data, it is possible to grasp that the position of the car 2a is close to the car position of the measurement target.

[0105] In addition, the inspection device 4, as in this embodiment, Used in the elevator inspection system 1, This configuration is preferred.

[0106] According to such a configuration, it is possible to grasp the car position where the measurement value of the measuring device 3 is abnormal.

[0107] The elevator inspection system 1 and the inspection device 4 are not limited to the configurations of the above-mentioned embodiments, and are not limited to the above-mentioned effects. Of course, the elevator inspection system 1 and the inspection device 4 can be modified in various ways without departing from the gist of the present invention. For example, it is of course possible to arbitrarily select one or more of the configurations, methods, etc. of the various modified examples described below and adopt them in the configurations, methods, etc. of the above-mentioned embodiments.

[0108] (A) In the elevator inspection system 1 according to the above embodiment, the current position display unit 18c of the display unit 18 is configured to display the distance from the current car position to the car position selected by the position selection data. However, the elevator inspection system 1 is not limited to such a configuration.

[0109] For example, the display unit 18 may not include the current position display unit 18c, i.e., may not display data related to the current car position. Also, for example, as shown in Fig. 9, the current position display unit 18c of the display unit 18 may display the distance from a reference car position to a car position selected by the position selection data, and the distance from the reference car position to the current car position. Note that the reference car position may be, for example, the inspection start position (in the above embodiment, the landing X3 on the lowest floor).

[0110] In this way, in the elevator inspection system 1, as shown in FIG. The inspection device 4 includes an input unit 11 to which data is input, The input unit 11 receives position selection data for selecting a target cage position from among cage positions displayed on the display unit 18, The display unit 18 displays the distance from a reference cage position to a cage position selected by the position selection data, and the distance from the reference cage position to a current cage position. The following configuration is also possible.

[0111] According to this configuration, the distance from the reference cage position to the cage position selected by the position selection data and the distance from the reference cage position to the current cage position are displayed together. This allows the cage 2a to be positioned at the cage position selected by the position selection data by moving the cage 2a to a position where the two distances are the same.

[0112] (B) Furthermore, in the elevator inspection system 1 according to the above embodiment, the calculation unit 16 is configured to classify the car positions of the measurement data into car positions to be measured and car positions to be not to be measured based on the measurement values ​​of the measurement data when re-measurement instruction data is input to the input unit 11. However, the elevator inspection system 1 is not limited to such a configuration.

[0113] For example, the input unit 11 may be configured to receive measurement position selection data for selecting the cage position to be measured, and the calculation unit 16 may classify the cage positions of the measurement data into cage positions to be measured and cage positions not to be measured based on the measurement position selection data.

[0114] In such a configuration, for example, a car position corresponding to the position of the rail connection part 9 obtained by adjusting the car rail 2e may be input as the measurement position selection data. Then, the calculation unit 16 may set the range from the car position corresponding to the adjacent rail connection part 9 below the rail connection part 9 to the car position corresponding to the adjacent rail connection part 9 above the rail connection part 9 as the car positions to be measured.

[0115] In this configuration, for example, a start car position at which remeasurement is started and an end car position at which remeasurement is ended may be input as the measurement position selection data. Then, the calculation unit 16 may set the car positions to be measured from the start car position to the end car position, for example.

[0116] In this way, in the elevator inspection system 1, The inspection device 4 includes an input unit 11 to which data is input, The input unit 11 receives remeasurement instruction data for instructing the measurement device 3 to perform remeasurement and measurement position selection data for selecting a cage position to be measured, When the remeasurement instruction data is input to the input unit 11, the calculation unit 16 classifies the car positions of the measurement data into car positions to be measured again by the measurement device 3 and car positions not to be measured again by the measurement device 3, based on the car positions selected by the measurement position selection data. The following configuration is also possible.

[0117] According to this configuration, when re-measurement instruction data is input to the input unit 11, the cage positions of the measurement data are classified into cage positions to be measured for re-measurement by the measuring device 3 and cage positions not to be measured for re-measurement by the measuring device 3, based on the cage positions selected by the measurement position selection data.

[0118] (C) Furthermore, in the elevator inspection system 1 according to the above embodiment, in the abnormality determination step, measurement instruction data is input to the measurement instruction input unit 11a, so that the output unit 13 outputs the measurement instruction data, and the processing device 7 automatically moves the car 2a based on the measurement instruction data output by the output unit 13. However, the elevator inspection system 1 is not limited to such a configuration.

[0119] For example, in the abnormality determination process, upward or downward movement direction data is input to the movement direction input unit 6d, movement speed data for a first speed is input to the movement speed input unit 6e, and manual movement data is input to the manual movement input unit 6c, so that the cage 2a is manually moved constantly at the first speed.

[0120] (D) In ​​addition, in the elevator inspection system 1 according to the above embodiment, in the checking and adjusting step, the moving direction data is input to the moving direction input unit 6d, the moving speed data is input to the moving speed input unit 6e, and the manual moving data is input to the manual moving input unit 6c, so that the car 2a is moved manually. However, the elevator inspection system 1 is not limited to such a configuration.

[0121] For example, in the confirmation and adjustment process, position selection data may be input to the position selection input unit 11b, causing the output unit 13 to output the position selection data, and the processing device 7 may automatically move the cage 2a based on the position selection data output by the output unit 13.

[0122] In this way, in the elevator inspection system 1, The inspection device 4 includes an input unit 11 to which data is input, The input unit 11 receives position selection data for selecting a target cage position from among cage positions displayed on the display unit 18, The output unit 13 outputs the cage position selected by the position selection data to the processing device 7, The processing device 7 moves the cage 2a to the cage position output by the output unit 13. The following configuration is also possible.

[0123] According to such a configuration, the output unit 13 outputs the car position selected by the position selection data to the processing device 7, and the processing device 7 moves the car 2a to the car position output by the output unit 13. This makes it possible to position the car 2a at the car position selected by the position selection data.

[0124] (E) In addition, in the elevator inspection system 1 according to the above embodiment, in the abnormality re-determination step, the moving direction data is input to the moving direction input unit 6d, the moving speed data is input to the moving speed input unit 6e, and the manual movement data is input to the manual movement input unit 6c, whereby the car 2a is moved manually. However, the elevator inspection system 1 is not limited to such a configuration.

[0125] For example, in the abnormality re-determination step, re-measurement instruction data is input to the re-measurement instruction input unit 11c, so that the output unit 13 outputs the re-measurement instruction data, and the processing device 7 automatically moves the car 2a based on the re-measurement instruction data output by the output unit 13. In such a configuration, for example, when the car 2a moves to a car position that is the object of measurement, the maximum speed of the car 2a may be a first speed (low speed), and when the car 2a moves to a car position that is not the object of measurement, the maximum speed of the car 2a may be a second speed (high speed).

[0126] In this way, in the elevator inspection system 1, The output unit 13 outputs the car position of the measurement target and the car position of the non-measurement target to the processing device 7, The processing device 7 moves the cage 2a in either the upward or downward direction from a measurement start position to a measurement end position, When the cage 2a moves to the cage position to be measured, the cage 2a moves at a first speed as a maximum speed, and when the cage 2a moves to the cage position to be not inspected, the cage 2a moves at a second speed as a maximum speed faster than the first speed. The following configuration is also possible.

[0127] According to this configuration, when the car 2a moves to a car position to be measured, the car 2a moves at a maximum speed of a first speed. When the car 2a moves to a car position not to be measured, the car 2a moves at a maximum speed of a second speed that is faster than the first speed. This allows the car 2a to move quickly to a car position not to be measured.

[0128] (F) In addition, in the elevator inspection system 1 according to the above embodiment, the abnormal car position display unit 18b of the display unit 18 is configured to display not only the abnormal car position but also the normal car position. However, the elevator inspection system 1 is not limited to such a configuration.

[0129] For example, as shown in Fig. 10, the abnormal car position display section 18b of the display section 18 may be configured to display only the abnormal car position. In such a configuration, for example, as shown in Fig. 10, the measurement value by the measuring device 3 stored in association with the abnormal car position may also be displayed.

[0130] Also, for example, as shown in Fig. 10, a configuration may be adopted in which the car position of the corresponding abnormal car position display section 18b is displayed by placing the mouse pointer at a predetermined position on the measurement value display section 18a. In Fig. 10, the car position of "N+6" on the abnormal car position display section 18b is displayed by hatching.

[0131] (G) In addition, in the elevator inspection system 1 according to the above embodiment, the measuring device 3 measures the distance between the car 2a and the car rail 2e and outputs the measured value. However, the elevator inspection system 1 is not limited to such a configuration.

[0132] For example, the measuring device 3 may be configured to measure the sway (specifically, lateral sway) of the car 2a and output the measured value. In such a configuration, the measuring device 3 may be, for example, a vibration sensor or an acceleration sensor. Also, for example, the measuring device 3 may be configured to include both a distance measuring unit that measures the distance between the car 2a and the car rail 2e and outputs the measured value, and a sway measuring unit that measures the sway of the car 2a and outputs the measured value.

[0133] (H) In addition, in the elevator inspection system 1 according to the above embodiment, the output unit 13 is configured to output position arrival data by at least one of a sound and a display when the car 2a is located at the car position selected by the position selection data. However, the elevator inspection system 1 is not limited to such a configuration. For example, the output unit 13 may be configured not to output such position arrival data.

[0134] (I) In addition, in the elevator inspection system 1 according to the above embodiment, the output unit 13 is configured to output position approach data by at least one of a sound and a display when the car 2a is located within a set distance from the car position selected by the position selection data. However, the elevator inspection system 1 is not limited to such a configuration. For example, the output unit 13 may be configured not to output such position approach data.

[0135] (J) In addition, in the elevator inspection system 1 according to the above embodiment, the output unit 13 is configured to output target position data by at least one of a sound and a display when the car 2a is located at the car position to be measured. However, the elevator inspection system 1 is not limited to such a configuration. For example, the output unit 13 may be configured not to output such target position data.

[0136] (K) In addition, in the elevator inspection system 1 according to the above embodiment, the output unit 13 is configured to output target approach data by at least one of sound and display when the car 2a is located within a set distance from the car position of the measurement target. However, the elevator inspection system 1 is not limited to such a configuration. For example, the output unit 13 may be configured not to output such target approach data.

[0137] (L) Note that, for example, the order of execution of each process, such as operations, procedures, steps, and stages, in the systems, methods, programs, and devices shown in the claims, specifications, and drawings, can be realized in any order, as long as the output of a previous process is not used in a subsequent process. For example, even if the description uses "first," "next," etc. for convenience, it does not mean that the processes must be executed in that order. [Explanation of symbols]
