DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS One embodiment of an elevator abnormality monitoring apparatus according to the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. Here, FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a basic configuration of the present embodiment, and FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing a basic configuration of the present embodiment corresponding to claim 3.

1 and 2, reference numeral 1 denotes an elevator control panel, and 2 denotes an elevator car, which moves up and down in a hoistway (not shown). Reference numeral 3 denotes a monitoring terminal that is installed in a building where the elevator is installed, monitors the operating state of the elevator, whether there is an operation abnormality, etc., and notifies the monitoring base 5 via the telephone line 4 when there is an abnormality. A detector 3A for detecting whether there is any abnormality in the operation of the device based on the operation control information and the operation information from the control panel 1, and outputting an alarm signal when the detector 3A detects an abnormality. Information device 3
B, communication device 3C, image input / output control device 3D for controlling photographed image information by camera 6, image information photographed by camera 6, image storage for storing image information photographed by camera 6 at predetermined intervals or continuously Device 3E. The camera 6 is installed on the upper part of the car 2 and faces the door of the car. The monitoring base 5 is provided with a monitoring console 5A and a monitor 5B for displaying images, and has a function of receiving and storing an abnormal alarm, receiving and displaying and storing image information, and a function of capturing image information of the monitoring terminal 3. . Reference numeral 7 denotes a portable terminal device such as a laptop personal computer.
And a function of importing the image information of the monitoring terminal 3 (the image captured by the camera 6 and the information stored in the image storage device 3) into the portable terminal device 7 via the.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described. For example, when foreign matter is caught in the sill groove (guide groove) of the door and the door cannot be opened / closed properly, part or all of the lighting in the car 2 is turned off, and lighting and turning off are repeated. Detector 3A when an abnormality occurs in the components of the elevator
Operates to output an alarm signal from the alarm device 3B. Then, the monitoring base 5 is automatically dialed via the communication device 3C, and when the monitoring base 5 responds, information indicating that an abnormality has occurred in the device, information regarding the building, information regarding the device having the abnormality, and the like are transmitted via the telephone line 4. And transmitted to the monitoring base 5. At this time, image information captured by the camera 6 is also transmitted and displayed on the monitor 5B. This allows you to see the equipment that is causing the abnormality, for example, the movement of the door and the lighting / turn-off status of the lighting in the car, etc., and to resolve the abnormality whether the abnormal phenomenon that has been reported is actually occurring or not. It is possible to quickly determine whether or not to be dispatched.

If there is no abnormal alarm, but it is necessary to look at the situation inside the car 2 to know the necessity of cleaning, the operation status of door opening / closing, the status of lighting, etc., the monitoring base 5 or the portable terminal device 7, the telephone number of the monitoring terminal 3 is dialed to call the monitoring terminal 3, and the image information in the car 2 and the image information of the image storage device 3 </ b> E captured by the camera 6 are monitored via the telephone line 4. 5 or the portable terminal device 7 to display it on the monitor 5B or display.

FIG. 2 shows a state in which a vibration detector 8 and a microphone 9 are installed, and when an abnormal vibration is detected and when an abnormally high level sound is detected, the detector 3A operates and an abnormal alarm is issued. It is like that. According to this, a person who intentionally vibrates the car 2 can be confirmed by the image information from the camera 6 if the mischief is caused, or a person who is molested is identified. be able to.
