Detailed description of the invention
As shown in Figures 1 to 4, elevator device of the present invention, is mainly made up of apparatus for controlling elevator 11, the lift car 13 that is arranged on elevator hoistways 12 and elevator drag device 15.
A kind of lift car position detecting device of the present invention,, is made up of a sound-producing device and a detecting device 3 in the interior residing position of elevator hoistways 12 for detection of this lift car 13.This sound-producing device is a buzzer phone 2, is arranged on the top of lift car 13.This detecting device 3 is arranged in the hoistway wall of top layer layer door 14 tops, formed by a microphone array and a treatment circuit, wherein: microphone array is made up of four microphones, it is horizon that these four microphones are all arranged in a plane parallel with hoistway wall of living in and according to a right-angle plane system of axes xoy(x axle being based upon in this plane, y axle is perpendicular line) be T font and arrange, wherein: first microphone 31 is arranged on the origin of coordinates o of this right-angle plane system of axes, second microphone 32 is arranged on the x axle positive dirction of this right-angle plane system of axes, the 3rd microphone 33 is arranged on the y axle positive dirction of this right-angle plane system of axes, the 4th microphone 34 is arranged on the x axle negative direction of this right-angle plane system of axes, and second microphone 32, the 3rd microphone 33 and the 4th microphone 34 equate with the distance L of first microphone 31.Treatment circuit is mainly made up of pre-process circuit and dsp processor, and is connected with apparatus for controlling elevator 11 by RS232 serial communication line 36.
Working process of the present invention is as follows:
Skid when steel rope appears in elevator device, when the fault such as fault anxious is stopped, velocity limiter action or the disconnected rope of velocity limiter, lift car 13 stops are in a certain position of elevator hoistways 12, now buzzer phone 2 is play voice signal.
As shown in Figures 2 and 3, four microphones 31 ~ 34 gather respectively the voice signal that buzzer phone sends and export treatment circuit 35 to and process, treatment circuit 35 estimates the vertical distance between described lift car and microphone array and the numerical value of this vertical distance is sent to apparatus for controlling elevator 11 by RS232 serial communication line 36 according to those microphone signals, and its concrete estimation process is as follows:
