Referring to fig. 1, an embodiment of the present invention provides an elevator fault warning method, which includes the following steps: steps S101, S102, S103.
S101: judging whether the obtained acceleration signal of the elevator car is abnormal or not according to a preset acceleration judgment condition; and judging whether the acquired sound signal of the elevator car is abnormal or not according to a preset sound judgment condition.
In a specific implementation, the acceleration signal may be obtained by an accelerometer, for example, the acceleration sensor may be used to obtain a voltage signal within a preset time period, and perform certain preprocessing on the voltage signal, for example, the acceleration sensor itself has a sensitivity, where the sensitivity represents a corresponding relationship between the voltage and the acceleration, and the voltage signal may be converted into the acceleration signal according to the sensitivity. Since there may be horizontal sway during elevator operation, a three-axis acceleration sensor may be employed to obtain voltage signals in multiple directions along a horizontal plane during elevator car operation (e.g., X-axis and Y-axis directions of the three-axis acceleration sensor, etc.). The sound signal may be obtained by a sound sensor, such as a piezoelectric sound sensor or an electromagnetic sound sensor.
The acceleration judgment condition can be used for judging whether the acquired acceleration signal is a corresponding acceleration signal when the elevator operates normally. In some embodiments, the preset acceleration determination condition may be an acceleration standard value, for example, an acceleration standard value in a national standard. In the judgment process, the acceleration value in the acceleration signal can be compared with the acceleration standard value, when the acceleration value in the acceleration signal is greater than the acceleration standard value, the obtained acceleration signal of the elevator car is determined to be abnormal, for example, whether the elevator shakes in the horizontal direction can be judged by judging the acceleration signal of the X axis or the Y axis. For example, referring to fig. 2 and 3, fig. 2 and 3 respectively show graphs of acceleration signals when shaking occurs for an embodiment of the present invention.
The preset sound judgment condition can be used for judging whether the acquired sound signal is a corresponding sound signal when the elevator operates normally. For example, the sound signal is a pressure signal obtained by a piezoelectric sound sensor in response to a sound emitted during operation of the elevator. In some embodiments, when a pressure signal corresponding to sound emitted when the elevator operates is obtained, the pressure signal is converted into a decibel signal, and a decibel value in the decibel signal is compared with a preset sound decibel threshold value, so that whether the sound signal of the elevator car is abnormal or not is judged. In order to prevent misjudgment and in the process of elevator car cloud generation, if abnormal sound occurs, the sound signal corresponding to the abnormal sound is not only higher in sound decibel value, but also very high in sound signal frequency acquired in a short time in the operation process, therefore, after the sound signal is acquired and the pressure signal is converted into the decibel signal, the signal frequency corresponding to the decibel signal is determined, the signal frequency is compared with a preset signal frequency threshold value, the signal frequency is greater than the preset signal frequency threshold value, and the decibel value is greater than the preset sound threshold value, so that the sound signal is abnormal. For example, referring to fig. 4, fig. 4 is a graph showing a sound signal when an abnormal sound occurs in the embodiment of the present invention.
Specifically, an embodiment of the present invention further provides a specific manner of obtaining an acceleration signal of an elevator car, including:
and respectively carrying out standardization processing on the acceleration signals of the elevator car in the first direction and the second direction acquired by the triaxial acceleration sensor to obtain standard acceleration signals in the first direction and the second direction.
And filtering the standard acceleration signals in the first direction and the second direction to obtain an acceleration signal of the elevator car.
In a specific implementation, the first direction and the second direction are perpendicular to each other and perpendicular to the movement direction of the elevator car, i.e. the vertical direction, respectively, i.e. the first direction may be the X-axis direction of the three-axis acceleration sensor, and the second direction may be the Y-axis direction of the three-axis acceleration sensor.
As an example, normalizing the acceleration signal includes: and calculating the average value of the historical acceleration signals in the Z-axis direction as the standard value of the acceleration sensor in the Z-axis direction, and subtracting the standard value of the acceleration sensor in the Z-axis direction from the acceleration signals in the Z-axis direction acquired later to obtain the standard acceleration signals.
In other embodiments, for example, an average value of the acceleration signals in the X-axis direction may be calculated, and the average value may be used as an average value of the acceleration sensors in the X-axis direction, which is subtracted from the acceleration signals in the X-axis direction collected later.
In other embodiments, for example, an average value of the acceleration signals in the Y-axis direction may be calculated, and the average value may be used as an average value of the acceleration sensors in the Y-axis direction, which is subtracted from the acceleration signals in the Y-axis direction collected later.
It should be noted that the acceleration sensor collects voltage signals of the elevator car in a preset time period during the operation process, and converts the voltage signals into acceleration signals, and when an average value of acceleration values in the acceleration signals is calculated, the acceleration signals from a starting point to a certain time point within the preset time period can be adopted as historical acceleration signals, and then the historical acceleration signals are used for calculating the average value, and the rest acceleration signals are used as acceleration signals for monitoring whether the elevator is in fault or not.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the acceleration signal curves of the three-axis acceleration sensor in the respective directions respectively fluctuate up and down around the average value of the respective directions, but the standard acceleration signal curve may fluctuate up and down around the axis by the normalization processing, for example, the standard acceleration signal curve after the normalization processing of the acceleration signal in the X-axis direction fluctuates up and down around the X-axis (i.e., y is 0). According to the embodiment of the invention, the calculated running speed of the elevator car can be further improved by carrying out standardized processing on the acceleration signal.
As an example, a series of filtering algorithms (e.g., kalman filtering algorithms, etc.) may be utilized to filter the standard acceleration signals in the first direction and the second direction, respectively, so as to remove noise, such as environmental noise, background noise, etc., in the standard acceleration signals, and obtain kalman filtering signals in the first direction and the second direction.
A typical example of the kalman filter algorithm is to predict the coordinate position and velocity of an object from a finite set of noisy observation sequences (possibly biased) of the position of the object.
As one example, to further reduce the error, a threshold determination may be performed on the kalman filtered values (i.e., the kalman filtered signals in the first and second directions) using a series of filtering algorithms (e.g., mechanical filtering, etc.), such as zeroing the kalman filtered signals that are less than a preset threshold, to obtain an acceleration signal, which is an acceleration signal without noise.
Therefore, by performing the filtering processing on the standard acceleration signals in the first direction and the second direction a plurality of times using, for example, the kalman filtering algorithm and the mechanical filtering algorithm, it is possible to remove noise in the standard acceleration signals to obtain acceleration signals in which the car is free from noise and errors are caused by factors of the sensor itself.
S102: and if at least one of the acceleration signal and the sound signal is abnormal, determining a target floor with the abnormality according to the acquired floor detection signal.
In a specific implementation, when it is determined that at least one of the acceleration signal and the sound signal is abnormal, a position corresponding to the abnormal signal needs to be determined, and at this time, a target floor where the abnormal signal occurs needs to be determined through the floor detection signal.
Specifically, when a target floor is determined, an integral operation can be performed on an acceleration signal to obtain a speed signal of the elevator car, so that an elevator running state related to the running speed of the elevator is obtained, for example, the speed of the elevator in the running process can be obtained, whether the elevator car stops can be determined according to the running speed of the elevator car, and in combination with a floor detection signal obtained by a photoelectric sensor, the relative position between a baffle plate arranged on the floor flat layer and the photoelectric sensor can be determined to change, so that the target floor with an abnormal signal is obtained, wherein the baffle plate is located on the floor flat layer and does not move along with the movement of the elevator, and the position of the baffle plate is fixed.
It is noted that the acceleration signal that is subjected to the integration operation is an acceleration signal in a third direction, which is parallel to the direction of travel of the elevator car, i.e. the Z-axis.
As an example, the mounting positions of the shutter and the photosensor of the embodiment of the present invention include: the photoelectric sensor can be arranged on the top of the lift car, wherein the photoelectric sensor can be a part with a concave shape, the blocking piece is arranged at each floor level of a building where the elevator is located, it should be noted that the blocking piece is fixed in position and does not move along with the running of the lift car, and when the elevator passes through or stays at any floor, the blocking piece is inserted into a notch of the photoelectric sensor, namely the blocking piece shields the photoelectric sensor, so that the output of the photoelectric sensor changes, and the photoelectric detection signal output of the elevator is collected.
It should be noted that the photosensor is controlled by converting a change in light intensity into a change in an electrical signal. In some embodiments, the photosensor comprises: a groove type photoelectric sensor, a correlation type photoelectric sensor, a reflection type photoelectric switch, and a diffusion reflection type photoelectric switch.
For example, in the foregoing embodiment, a groove-type photosensor, in which a light emitter and a receiver are mounted face-to-face on both sides of a groove, is used as a groove-type photosensor. The light emitter can emit infrared light or visible light, and the light receiver can receive light under the unobstructed condition. However, when the object to be detected passes through the groove, the light is blocked and the photoelectric switch is operated. And outputting a switch control signal to cut off or switch on the load current, thereby completing a control action. The detection distance of the slot switch is limited by the integral structure and is generally only a few centimeters.
For example, when the photosensor is shielded by the shutter, the output of the photosensor is at a high level, and when the photosensor is not shielded by the shutter, the output of the photosensor is at a low level. For example, when the photodetection signal output is 1, it indicates that the photosensor is blocked by the blocking piece, and when the photodetection signal output is 0, it indicates that the photosensor is not blocked by the blocking piece.
And then, according to the speed signal of the elevator and the photoelectric detection signal output of the elevator, the target floor where the elevator fault is located can be judged.
S103: and if the times of abnormity of the target floor are more than a preset value, determining to trigger an alarm mechanism.
In the specific implementation, each time an abnormal signal occurs, a target floor corresponding to the abnormal signal occurs is recorded, and when the frequency of the abnormal signal occurring on the target floor exceeds a preset value, for example, 3 times, an alarm mechanism is set, for example, an audible and visual alarm device can be arranged in an elevator monitoring room, and a worker is reminded to overhaul the elevator.
According to the elevator fault warning method provided by the embodiment of the invention, whether the obtained acceleration signal of the elevator car is abnormal or not is judged according to the preset acceleration judgment condition, meanwhile, whether the obtained sound signal of the elevator car is abnormal or not is also judged according to the preset sound judgment condition, and if at least one of the acceleration signal and the sound signal is abnormal, the abnormal target floor is determined according to the obtained floor detection signal; and if the times of abnormity of the target floor are more than a preset value, determining to trigger an alarm mechanism. According to the scheme, the signals collected by the independent triaxial acceleration sensor and the sound sensor outside the elevator can be adopted, the state of the shaking and guide rail of the elevator is monitored on line, an early warning mechanism is triggered when the signal abnormality is detected, and the safety monitoring level of the elevator is improved.
