Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] The present invention relates to an elevator lifting weight monitoring system, an elevator lifting weight monitoring method, and a program. [Background technology]
[0002] In the traditional method of managing elevator lifting work schedules and performance, the model, number, and placement of elevators are planned at the initial planning stage, taking into consideration a comprehensive range of factors, including the building's structure and construction method, the busyness of the construction process, the amount of materials per floor, and the expected number of visitors. If it becomes clear after construction has begun that there is an insufficient number of elevators planned (due to insufficient transport capacity, resulting in heavy overtime work, or heavy congestion), this is typically addressed by improving the operation plan. (Generally, the number of elevators is not increased from the initial plan during construction.) However, with the conventional method of managing elevator lifting work schedules and results, it is difficult to grasp the progress of the elevator lifting work, such as whether it is going smoothly or behind schedule, in real time during the period from the time the elevator lifting work is scheduled to the time the results of the elevator lifting work are released, and it is also difficult to share information on the progress of the elevator lifting work in real time.
[0003] In the traditional method, daily plans are improved on-site by comparing lifting schedules with actual results. For example, if there is heavy traffic congestion after the morning meeting, improvements are made by splitting the morning meeting into multiple sessions. For example, if there is a lot of overtime, improvements are made by reviewing the process. For example, improvements are made by moving up the operation date of the main elevator, identifying tasks that are taking a long time, and changing the setup. In addition, the elevator operator records the actual elevator lifting volume by handwriting notes such as "material type, loading floor / destination floor, lifting start time, and completion time." However, with the traditional method of manually recording data, compiling the data takes time and effort. This makes it particularly difficult to grasp the progress of elevator lifting work at large construction sites with multiple elevators. Furthermore, with the traditional method of manually recording data, the recorded elevator lifting data can be buried within the elevator lifting work site, preventing the construction company from accumulating and sharing the data company-wide. If proper elevator planning cannot be done based on past data, there is a risk of insufficient transport capacity and heavy overtime work.
[0004] Patent Document 1 describes a lifting management system that records and centrally manages lifting performance. In the technology described in Patent Document 1, the lifting management system records and centrally manages the lifting performance of lifting devices such as temporary lift elevators installed at the construction site of a high-rise building. Incidentally, in the technology described in Patent Document 1, lifting performance data is generated by aggregating and processing the operation log of the lifting device (e.g., load, number of floors, current / voltage values, alarm / fault information, etc.) in order to record and centrally manage the lifting performance of the lifting device. In other words, in the technology described in Patent Document 1, the lifting performance data that is recorded and centrally managed is the aggregated and processed data of, for example, load, number of floors, current / voltage values, and alarm / fault information, etc., and therefore, simply recording and centrally managing the lifting performance data does not allow a clear understanding of the elevator's lifting operation status, as if the entire elevator were being monitored from a position away from the side (in a direction perpendicular to the elevator's ascending and descending direction).

[Figure 2] FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an example of a building BD and elevators ELV (No. 1 ELV1, No. 2 ELV2, No. 3 ELV3, No. 4 ELV4, No. 5 ELV5, No. 6 ELV6) to which the elevator lifting monitoring system 1 of the first embodiment is applied. [Figure 3] FIG. 2 is a diagram showing an example of a display screen of the terminal device 12. [Figure 4] 1 is a flowchart for explaining an example of processing executed in the elevator lifting monitoring system 1 of the first embodiment. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0012] Hereinafter, embodiments of an elevator lifting weight monitoring system, an elevator lifting weight monitoring method, and a program according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
[0013] [First embodiment] Fig. 1 is a diagram showing an example of an elevator lifting weight monitoring system 1 according to the first embodiment. Fig. 2 is a diagram showing an example of a building BD and elevators ELVs (No. 1 ELV1, No. 2 ELV2, No. 3 ELV3, No. 4 ELV4, No. 5 ELV5, No. 6 ELV6) to which the elevator lifting weight monitoring system 1 according to the first embodiment is applied. In detail, Fig. 2(A) shows the positional relationship between the building BD to which the elevator lifting weight monitoring system 1 according to the first embodiment is applied and, for example, six elevators ELVs (No. 1 ELV1, No. 2 ELV2, No. 3 ELV3, No. 4 ELV4, No. 5 ELV5, No. 6 ELV6), and Fig. 2(B) shows an example of the configuration of each elevator ELV.
[0014] 1 and 2, an elevator lifting monitoring system 1 monitors the status of lifting operations of elevators ELVs, such as construction elevators. The elevators ELVs monitored by the elevator lifting monitoring system 1 include ELV1, ELV2, ELV3, ELV4, ELV5, ELV6, and ELV7. In another example, the number of elevators ELVs to be monitored by the elevator lifting monitoring system 1 may be any number other than six. In another example, the elevator lifting monitoring system 1 may monitor the status of lifting work of an elevator other than an elevator for construction work, such as a permanent elevator.
[0015] In the example shown in Figures 1 and 2, each elevator ELV (No. 1 ELV1, No. 2 ELV2, No. 3 ELV3, No. 4 ELV4, No. 5 ELV5, and No. 6 ELV6) includes, for example, a moving unit ELVA, an actuator ELVB, a control unit ELVC, a sensor ELVD, a data collection unit ELVE, and an input unit ELVF. The moving unit ELVA includes, for example, a gauge. The actuator ELVB includes, for example, a drive motor that moves the moving unit ELVA. The control unit ELVC includes, for example, a programmable logic controller (PLC) that controls the actuator ELVB. The sensor ELVD includes, for example, a limit switch. The data collection unit ELVE collects elevator operation information, such as control signals output by the control unit ELVC to the actuators ELVB and output signals from the sensor ELVD, for example, every second. The elevator operation information collected by the data collection unit ELVE includes, for example, the load value, current floor / destination floor, current / voltage values, and alarm / fault information. The input unit ELVF accepts inputs by the elevator operator, such as the name of the lifted material, the quantity of the lifted material (the number of workers), the lifted floor, etc. The input unit ELVF may also accept inputs such as the result of the work time measurement performed by the elevator operator and the contents of the lifting task formation.
[0016] In the example shown in Figures 1 and 2, the elevator lifting monitoring system 1 includes, for example, a lifting monitoring server 11, a terminal device 12, and a schedule management system 13. The lifting monitoring server 11 is configured to be able to communicate with the elevator ELV's data collection unit ELVE, input unit ELVF, terminal device 12, schedule management system 13, etc. via, for example, the Internet, a mobile phone line, a wired LAN, a wireless LAN, Wi-Fi, etc. The terminal device 12 is used to grasp the lifting work status of the elevator ELV. The schedule management system 13 manages schedule management information for the elevator ELV (for example, information such as the name of the material scheduled to be lifted, the floor scheduled to be lifted, and the scheduled time of work). The schedule management system 13 includes a memory unit 13A. The memory unit 13A stores the schedule management information for the elevator ELV. In the example shown in Figures 1 and 2, the elevator lifting monitoring system 1 is equipped with three terminal devices 12 (for example, a terminal device 12 carried by a site worker who needs to understand the lifting work status of the elevator ELV, a terminal device 12 installed in the work site office, and a terminal device 12 installed in the construction company's headquarters), but in other examples, the elevator lifting monitoring system 1 may be equipped with any number of terminal devices 12 other than three.
[0017] 1 and 2, the lifting monitoring server 11 is, for example, a cloud server. The lifting monitoring server 11 includes, for example, an operation information acquisition unit 11A, an input information acquisition unit 11B, a schedule management information acquisition unit 11C, a lifting work status calculation unit 11D, a display image generation unit 11E, an analysis unit 11F, and a storage unit 11G. The operation information acquisition unit 11A acquires operation information (e.g., cargo load value, current floor / destination floor, current / voltage values, alarm / fault information, etc.) of the elevators ELVs collected by data collection units ELVE installed in the elevators ELVs (No. 1 ELV1, No. 2 ELV2, No. 3 ELV3, No. 4 ELV4, No. 5 ELV5, and No. 6 ELV6). The input information acquisition unit 11B acquires input information (e.g., name of lifting material, quantity of lifting material (number of workers), lifting floor, etc.) entered by the elevator operator into an input unit ELVF installed in the elevators ELVs. The schedule management information acquisition unit 11C acquires schedule management information of the elevators ELVs managed by the schedule management system 13 (e.g., name of material to be lifted, scheduled lifting floor, scheduled work time, etc.).
[0018] The lifting operation status calculation unit 11D calculates the lifting operation status of the elevator ELVs based on the operation information of the elevators ELVs (No. 1 ELV1, No. 2 ELV2, No. 3 ELV3, No. 4 ELV4, No. 5 ELV5, No. 6 ELV6) acquired by the operation information acquisition unit 11A. That is, the lifting operation status calculation unit 11D reproduces the actual lifting operation status of the elevator ELVs (e.g., which floor of the building BD the elevator ELV is located on, whether the elevator ELV is stopped or moving, etc.) based on the operation information of the elevator ELVs acquired by the operation information acquisition unit 11A. The display image generation unit 11E generates an animated image of the elevator ELV that changes over time based on the lifting operation status of the elevator ELV calculated by the lifting operation status calculation unit 11D, and corresponds to an image taken from a direction perpendicular to the elevator ELV's ascending and descending direction. The analysis unit 11F combines the elevator ELV operation information (load value of the cargo, current floor / destination floor, current / voltage values, alarm / fault information, etc.) acquired by the operation information acquisition unit 11A, the input information (name of the lifting material, quantity of the lifting material (number of workers), lifting floor, etc.) acquired by the input information acquisition unit 11B, and the elevator ELV schedule management information acquired by the schedule management information acquisition unit 11C (name of the material to be lifted, scheduled lifting floor, scheduled work time, etc.) to analyze the progress of the elevator ELV lifting work in real time (for example, name of the lifting material, load value of the cargo, cumulative lifting weight, actual number of lifts, scheduled number of lifts, progress rate which is actual number of lifts / planned number of lifts, etc.). The storage unit 11G stores the progress status of the lifting work of the elevator ELV analyzed by the analysis unit 11F and the image showing the progress status of the lifting work of the elevator ELV generated by the display image generation unit 11E.
[0019] The terminal device 12 includes a display unit 12A and an operation unit 12B. The display unit 12A displays animation images of the elevators ELV (No. 1 ELV1, No. 2 ELV2, No. 3 ELV3, No. 4 ELV4, No. 5 ELV5, No. 6 ELV6) generated by the display image generation unit 11E. The display unit 12A can display images indicating the progress of the lifting work of the elevators ELV (name of the lifting material, load value of the cargo, cumulative lifting weight, actual number of lifts, planned number of lifts, progress rate which is the actual number of lifts / planned number of lifts) generated by the display image generation unit 11E around the animated images of the elevators ELV in real time. The display unit 12A can also display images indicating the progress of the lifting work of the elevators ELV (name of the lifting material, load value of the cargo, cumulative lifting weight, actual number of lifts, planned number of lifts, progress rate which is the actual number of lifts / planned number of lifts) stored in the memory unit 11G. The operation unit 12B accepts input operations by the user of the terminal device 12.
[0020] FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an example of a display screen of the terminal device 12. As shown in FIG. 3, an animated image of the elevator ELV (No. 1 ELV1, No. 2 ELV2, No. 3 ELV3, No. 4 ELV4, No. 5 ELV5, No. 6 ELV6) that changes over time and is generated by the display image generation unit 11E based on the lifting operation status of the elevator ELVs (No. 1 ELV1, No. 2 ELV2, No. 3 ELV3, No. 4 ELV4, No. 5 ELV5, No. 6 ELV6) calculated by the lifting operation status calculation unit 11D is displayed in the center of the display screen of the terminal device 12. Therefore, by looking at the display screen of the terminal device 12, the user of the terminal device 12 can clearly grasp the lifting operation status of the elevator ELV as if he or she were monitoring the entire elevator ELV from a position away from the side of the elevator ELV.
[0021] In the example shown in Fig. 3, when operation information of elevators ELV (No. 1 ELV1, No. 2 ELV2, No. 3 ELV3, No. 4 ELV4, No. 5 ELV5, No. 6 ELV6) is acquired by the operation information acquisition unit 11A, the lifting work status calculation unit 11D calculates the lifting work status of the ascending and descending elevators ELV in real time based on the operation information of the elevators ELV acquired by the operation information acquisition unit 11A. The display image generation unit 11E generates an animation image of the ascending and descending elevators ELV in real time based on the lifting work status of the ascending and descending elevators ELV calculated by the lifting work status calculation unit 11D. The display unit 12A of the terminal device 12 displays the animation image of the ascending and descending elevators ELV generated by the display image generation unit 11E in real time. In another example, an animation image of an elevator ELV rising and falling, generated by the display image generation unit 11E, may be stored in the storage unit 11G. In this example, the display unit 12A of the terminal device 12 can display the animation image of an elevator ELV rising and falling, stored in the storage unit 11G.
[0022] In the example shown in Fig. 3, the lifting operation status calculation unit 11D calculates in real time the lifting operation status of the elevator ELV ascending or descending relative to the building BD based on the operation information of the elevator ELVs (No. 1 ELV1, No. 2 ELV2, No. 3 ELV3, No. 4 ELV4, No. 5 ELV5, No. 6 ELV6) acquired by the operation information acquisition unit 11A and the design data of the building BD. The display image generation unit 11E generates in real time an animated image of the elevator ELV including the building BD based on the lifting operation status of the elevator ELV ascending or descending relative to the building BD calculated by the lifting operation status calculation unit 11D. The display unit 12A of the terminal device 12 displays in real time the animated image of the elevator ELV including the building BD generated by the display image generation unit 11E. For example, the operation information of the elevator ELV (No. 2 ELV2) acquired by the operation information acquisition unit 11A includes the current floor (45F) of No. 2 ELV2, the destination floor (60F), current / voltage values indicating that No. 2 ELV2 is ascending, etc. Also, the operation information of the elevator ELV (No. 6 ELV6) acquired by the operation information acquisition unit 11A includes the current floor (1F) of No. 6 ELV6, the destination floor (none), current / voltage values indicating that No. 6 ELV6 is stopped, etc. The lifting operation status calculation unit 11D calculates the lifting operation status of the No. 2 ELV2 ascending or descending to building BD (located on 45F and ascending toward 60F) and the lifting operation status of the No. 6 ELV6 ascending or descending to building BD (located on 1F and stopped) based on the current floor (45F), destination floor (60F) of the No. 2 ELV2, current / voltage values indicating that the No. 2 ELV2 is ascending, etc., acquired by the operation information acquisition unit 11A, the current floor (1F), destination floor (none) of the No. 6 ELV6, current / voltage values indicating that the No. 6 ELV6 is stopped, etc., and the design data of building BD. The display image generation unit 11E generates an animation image of the No. 2 ELV2, the No. 6 ELV6, etc., including building BD, based on the lifting operation status of the No. 2 ELV2 and the No. 6 ELV6 ascending or descending to building BD calculated by the lifting operation status calculation unit 11D. The display unit 12A of the terminal device 12 displays animation images of the second unit ELV2, the sixth unit ELV6, and the like, including the building BD, generated by the display image generation unit 11E.
[0023] 3, the operation information of the elevators ELV acquired by the operation information acquisition unit 11A includes operation information of No. 1 ELV1, operation information of No. 2 ELV2, operation information of No. 3 ELV3, operation information of No. 4 ELV4, operation information of No. 5 ELV5, and operation information of No. 6 ELV6. The lifting work status calculation unit 11D calculates the lifting work status of No. 1 ELV1, No. 2 ELV2, No. 3 ELV3, No. 4 ELV4, No. 5 ELV5, and No. 6 ELV6 ascending and descending relative to the building BD, based on the operation information of No. 1 ELV1, No. 2 ELV2, No. 3 ELV3, No. 4 ELV4, No. 5 ELV5, and No. 6 ELV6 acquired by the operation information acquisition unit 11A and the design data of the building BD. The display image generation unit 11E generates an animation image of No. 1 ELV1, No. 2 ELV2, No. 3 ELV3, No. 4 ELV4, No. 5 ELV5 and No. 6 ELV6 including the building BD based on the lifting work status of No. 1 ELV1, No. 2 ELV2, No. 3 ELV3, No. 4 ELV4, No. 5 ELV5 and No. 6 ELV6 ascending and descending relative to the building BD calculated by the lifting work status calculation unit 11D. The operation unit 12B of the terminal device 12 accepts a selection operation by the user of the terminal device 12 (an operation to select the second device ELV2). The display unit 12A of the terminal device 12 displays animated images of ELV1, ELV2, ELV3, ELV4, ELV5, and ELV6, including the building BD. In particular, the display unit 12A highlights the animated image of ELV2, which is selected by the user of the terminal device 12.
[0024] In the example shown in Fig. 3, display image generation unit 11E generates in real time an image showing the progress of the lifting work for No. 1 ELV1 analyzed by analysis unit 11F (name of lifting material, load value of cargo, cumulative lifting weight, actual number of lifts, planned number of lifts, progress rate which is the actual number of lifts / planned number of lifts).

The display image generation unit 11E generates an image in real time showing the progress of the lifting work for the No. 5 ELV5 analyzed by the analysis unit 11F (the name of the lifting material, the load value of the cargo, the cumulative lifting weight, the actual number of lifts, the planned number of lifts, and the progress rate, which is the actual number of lifts / the planned number of lifts). The display unit 12A of the terminal device 12 displays the image showing the progress of the lifting work for the No. 5 ELV5 generated by the display image generation unit 11E in real time around the animated images of the No. 1 ELV1, the No. 2 ELV2, the No. 3 ELV3, the No. 4 ELV4, the No. 5 ELV5, and the No. 6 ELV6 (in the right center part of FIG. 3).

The display unit 12A of the terminal device 12 displays in real time the image showing the progress of the lifting work for ELV6 generated by the display image generation unit 11E around the animated images of ELV1, ELV2, ELV3, ELV4, ELV5, and ELV6 (lower right part of FIG. 3).
[0026] In the example shown in Figure 3, the analysis unit 11F combines the operation information of each of Unit 1 ELV1, Unit 2 ELV2, Unit 3 ELV3, Unit 4 ELV4, Unit 5 ELV5, and Unit 6 ELV6 acquired by the operation information acquisition unit 11A, the input information of each of Unit 1 ELV1, Unit 2 ELV2, Unit 3 ELV3, Unit 4 ELV4, Unit 5 ELV5, and Unit 6 ELV6 acquired by the input information acquisition unit 11B, and the schedule management information of each of Unit 1 ELV1, Unit 2 ELV2, Unit 3 ELV3, Unit 4 ELV4, Unit 5 ELV5, and Unit 6 ELV6 acquired by the schedule management information acquisition unit 11C, to analyze in real time the number of material lifts per floor, the cumulative number of material lifts on all floors, the number of workers transported per floor, and the cumulative number of workers transported on all floors.

[0028] FIG. 4 is a flowchart illustrating an example of processing executed in the elevator lifting weight monitoring system 1 of the first embodiment.

[0029] [Second embodiment] A second embodiment of the elevator lifting weight monitoring system, elevator lifting weight monitoring method, and program of the present invention will be described below. The elevator lifting monitoring system 1 of the second embodiment is configured similarly to the elevator lifting monitoring system 1 of the first embodiment described above, except for the points described below. Therefore, the elevator lifting monitoring system 1 of the second embodiment can achieve the same effects as the elevator lifting monitoring system 1 of the first embodiment described above, except for the points described below.
[0030] As described above, the elevator lifting monitoring system 1 of the first embodiment monitors the status of elevator ELV lifting work. In the elevator lifting monitoring system 1 of the first embodiment, the lifting monitoring server 11 and the schedule management system 13 cooperate with each other, so that the schedule management information acquisition unit 11C of the lifting monitoring server 11 acquires elevator ELV schedule management information (name of material scheduled to be lifted, floor scheduled to be lifted, scheduled work time) managed by the schedule management system 13. Meanwhile, the elevator lifting monitoring system 1 of the first embodiment does not have a function for scheduling elevator ELV lifting work, but the elevator lifting monitoring system 1 of the second embodiment may have a function for scheduling elevator ELV lifting work.
[0031] In the elevator lifting monitoring system 1 of the first embodiment, the input unit ELVF of the elevator ELV accepts inputs such as the name of the lifting material, the quantity of the lifting material (number of workers), the lifting floor, etc. by the elevator operator via an interface such as a touch panel. In the elevator lifting monitoring system 1 of the second embodiment, the input unit ELVF of the elevator ELV may have a voice input function, an image recognition function, etc. That is, the input unit ELVF may receive voice input from the elevator operator of the name of the lifted material, the quantity of the lifted material (the number of workers), the lifted floor, etc., or the input unit ELVF may identify the name of the lifted material by recognizing an image of the lifted material. In addition, the analysis unit 11F may predict failures by analyzing various sensor information (e.g., information from a temperature sensor, a load cell, a vibration sensor, etc.).
[0032] The elevator lifting monitoring system 1 of the second embodiment may link data with external systems other than the data collection unit ELVE and input unit ELVF of the elevator ELV. For example, the elevator lifting monitoring system 1 may acquire data from a vehicle delivery schedule management system, a delivery vehicle GPS system, a material management system, etc., or may output data collected and analyzed within the elevator lifting monitoring system 1 to an external system for use (for example, material lifting floor information may be output and used in a material management system).
[0033] The elevator lifting monitoring system 1 of the second embodiment may be provided with a function to support elevator ELV failure prediction / optimal worker transportation plan through AI analysis of elevator operation information, such as the output signal of the elevator ELV sensor ELVD.
[0034] The elevator lifting monitoring system 1 of the first and second embodiments makes it possible to grasp the construction status without visiting the site, even at large construction sites with multiple elevators. Furthermore, because the system can automatically analyze and display lifting work in real time, it can significantly reduce the amount of work and man-hours required compared to conventional methods that involve manually recording and compiling actual results. Furthermore, it makes it possible to collect detailed data, such as load values, in real time, which is difficult to grasp using conventional methods. In other words, it can promote efficient, automated, and real-time understanding of the construction status. The elevator lifting monitoring system 1 of the first and second embodiments allows for multifaceted analysis of lifting time, for example, by material, elevator, or number of occupants, making it possible to identify which task has a problem and what the cause is earlier than with conventional methods, and to use this information to improve plans. Furthermore, elevator failure information (operation information) can be checked remotely, allowing for early and remote response in the event of a failure. By using various accumulated information as learning data for AI failure prediction, failures can be prevented before they occur. Furthermore, by introducing a cloud server, construction companies can utilize and centrally manage accumulated data company-wide.
[0035] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above with reference to the drawings, the specific configurations are not limited to these embodiments and examples, and appropriate modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention. The configurations described in the above-described embodiments and examples may be combined.
[0036] Note that all or part of the functions of each unit of the elevator lift monitoring system 1 in the above-described embodiment may be realized by recording a program for realizing these functions on a computer-readable recording medium, and reading and executing the program recorded on the recording medium into a computer system. Note that the term "computer system" here includes hardware such as an OS and peripheral devices. Furthermore, "computer-readable recording media" refers to portable media such as flexible disks, optical magnetic disks, ROMs, and CD-ROMs, as well as storage units such as hard disks built into computer systems. Furthermore, "computer-readable recording media" may also include devices that dynamically store programs for a short period of time, such as communication lines when transmitting programs over networks like the Internet or communication lines like telephone lines, or devices that store programs for a fixed period of time, such as volatile memory within computer systems that serve as servers or clients in such cases. Furthermore, the above-mentioned programs may be programs that realize some of the aforementioned functions, or may be programs that can realize the aforementioned functions in combination with programs already stored in the computer system.
