DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED
The present invention discloses a kind of electromagnetic/ultrasonic rotating disk and calls out/reply (EURA) system.
This EURA system is made of a plurality of emission-transponder modules and a wireless interface transmitting-receiving device module that is attached on the elevator car of one on best each floor.Used electromagnetic wave is that frequency of radio is radio frequency (RF) ripple in the disclosure of invention.But other electromagnetic waves such as microwave or light wave also can be used to realize notion of the present invention.Though this paper is with regard to elevator, the present invention is not limited to this, but can widely the EURA system be used on any movably platform.
Emission-transponder module of the present invention 10 shown in Fig. 1 is made up of ultrasonic transmitter 13 and a calculating unit 15 of a RF receptor 11, a narrow bundle cone angle.As described below, emission-transponder module will be installed in the same place of each doorframe sealing in advance along elevator hoistway.The electric wireline of emission-responser suitably is installed in the doorframe in advance.Here employed " installing in advance " means the installation of finishing in the hoist-hole outside.The ultrasonic transmitter 13 of this wireless answering module 10 will be installed into that all faces all make progress or be all downward, the faces direction of the sonac of ultrasonic transmitter in wireless transceiver that to state below will be opposite with the faces direction of this ultrasonic transmitter 13, and promptly all makes progress downwards or all.Here our supposition, emission-transponder module towards last, and wireless receipts connect facing down of device module.
This RF receptor 11 is received the signal of a preset frequency from this wireless transceiver module, its demodulation is extracted out coding and this coding is delivered to calculating unit 15, with this coding and the ID number comparison that is stored in the uniqueness in the calculating unit.The ID that this is unique or can pre-determine is acquired with special training mode by this emission-responser.Or by skilled worker's setting in this place.If should equate with this ID number by coding, this calculating unit will trigger projector 13 and make ultrasonic signal of its emission.Here supposition exists a power supply and can use for each emission-transponder module.
Distance between any two adjacent emission-responsers 10 is limited within the xm.This means one or more emission-transponder modules 10 should be installed in any two adjacent and between emission-transponder module 10 greater than xm.Because the floor gap distance is about 3.5m, have only some exception as high bottom or special sectors.Therefore, x can be set to 3.5.But x also can be any other distance that enough supplies the EURA system operation.Following will stating, this parameter will be used to set another parameter for wireless transceiver module 20 usefulness.
Wireless transceiver module of the present invention 20 shown in Fig. 2 is made of a plurality of ultrasonic receiver of two RF transmitter circuits 21, two groups 23,23 ' and two calculating unit that separates 25.These parts have drawn among the figure subsequently.In this preferred embodiment, adopting two groups of circuit is the redundancies that need for coding, and set of circuits is used for normal location and normal terminal shutdown feature (NTSD) function, and another group is used for emergency terminal shutdown feature (ETSD/ETSLD) function.Each compound ultrasonic receiver 23,23 ' all comprises two group 27 that shares with another receptor 23,23 ', 27 ', every group of each three sonac 28.Other the sensor Redundancy Design of using the less sensor of number but will increasing design complexity can also be arranged certainly.Distance in one group between two adjacent sensors 28 preferably is about 10m, but also can be less than this number.Distance Y between two groups can be provided by following formula:
Y>X-Z
Wherein Z is that system parameter representative is in transmitter and receptor ultimate range between the two.Preferably Z is set to 3m or 2m or 1m.Less Z means less measurement and lags behind.The parameter Y that satisfies following formula can guarantee at any time, an emission-transponder module 10 is always arranged, and one group distance is less than Z in interior two the sonac groups of it and wireless transceiver module 20 27,27 '.
This wireless receiver module 20 can be installed in advance, also can be installed on the hoist-hole.Best, this wireless receiver module 20 is installed on the side of cage 37.
Only consider a group in the circuit 27,27 ' now.Every a predetermined time duration such as 10ms, this RF projector 21 is called out emission-transponder module 20 once.This time length can be any length, as long as enough to can easily carrying out the operation of EURA system.This calling is printed by calculating unit 25 constantly.How to determine which emission-responser 10 should be called out and will describe in detail afterwards.Speak briefly, will be called out by this wireless transceiver module 20 with that emission-transponder module 10 that this wireless transceiver module 20 is the most approaching.This logic is correct, because except the situation of electric power et out of order, this PRS can know the Position Approximate of this cage 37 and this emission-transponder module 10.
In case this wireless transceiver module 20 is called out emission-transponder module 10, it will wait for the arrival of ultrasonic signal on each sonac.The ultrasonic signal arrival on sensor therein each time all will be printed by calculating unit 25.
This calculating unit 25 utilizes these about calling out the position that just can calculate cage constantly with first three temporal information that arrives the earliest.Why this position calculation may be because the parameter of three the unknowns is arranged, i.e. the upright position of cage and level attitude and local speed of sound transmission, and we can obtain three independently equations from three sonacs.Note here since the communication and the hysteresis of calculating cause at the loss time memory a conclusive time deviation.In fact, important constraint will be set believing that an event horizon can assure success exactly within this boundary when realizing native system.
The final design of this EURA system is drawn in Fig. 3 in detail.The difference that please notes PURIS system and EURA system maximum again is, in the EURA system, this wireless transceiver 20 can be known the ID number of each emission-responser 10, and calls out an emission-responser 10 rather than call out emission-responser 10 more than one simultaneously with its ID number.
When operation, this EURA system plays following effect:
1. this wireless transceiver module 20 is known the position of preceding this cage of 10ms and the absolute location and the ID identifier of each emission-transponder module 10.
2. this wireless transceiver module 20 is called out emission-responser 10 near center-point between two group 27,27 ' sonac 28 by the RF radiofrequency signal 39 of a coding.This calling constantly is printed.
3. each emission-transponder module 10 is all constantly listened to this wireless transceiver module 10, with RF signal 39 decodings of any one uppick, and should encode and its ID comparison.If it is identical with its ID to encode, just triggers its ultrasonic transmitter 13 and make ultrasonic signal of its emission.
4. this wireless transceiver module detects and prints the time that this ultrasonic signal 35 arrives each sonac 28.
5. owing to use the printing of at least three times of advent, this wireless receiver just can calculate the position of this cage.This calculating can also can be compared complexity simply to as separating three simultaneous equationss.Have various echoes when for example leaving cage and/or hoistway wall when the ultrasonic signal collision.Can adopt corresponding Echo Canceling Method to reduce this interference.
Annotate: have under the situation of a plurality of lift times, each hoist-hole should have different RF and ultrasonic signal frequencies to disturb so that reduce any signal.
For NTSD and ETSD operation, emission-transponder module can be installed one every x/2m.So just, can guarantee to measure to lag behind and be reduced to original half.In the zone of NTSD and ETSD, two groups of circuit 27,27 ' run up times with 5ms differ from and carry out the normal locating procedure of political affairs.That is to say, call out emission-transponder module for one group when t=0, another group 27 ' is started working when t=5ms then.One group for NTSD with and another group is used for ETSD/ETSLD.By measuring the frequency migration that is caused by Doppler effect, or with the measurement differential of position, this wireless transceiver module can be calculated the moving velocity of this cage.
For position decided at the higher level but not officially announced, can emission-transponder module 10 be installed so that can detect the two ends in this special area earlier at the two ends in special area in special area.Emission-the responser 10 that is installed in the bottom comprises the ultrasonic transmitter of a long distance.Here suppose that its scope can cover whole special area.If can not, emission-transponder module 10 can be installed in this special area.
In case this cage 37 enters this area and through the emission-transponder module of position at special area one end, this wireless transceiver module 20 just relies on this length range transmission-transponder module 10 to locate.This wireless transceiver module 10 needs to wait for the long time until receive till ultrasonic the replying.Receive one reply after, it just can call out this emission-transponder module 10 again.
After a power failure as will recover the information of position, this wireless transceiver module 20 can be from the position begins to rotate in the module at hoist-hole top and calls out each emission-transponder module 10.Since all ultrasonic transmitters 13 this emission-transponder module 10 in all be assumed that towards on, so this wireless transceiver module 20 can not detect any one actv. ultrasonic 21 to arrive always 10 of the first emission-transponder modules in this wireless transceiver module 20 above till the first emission-transponder module, the 10 quilt callings under one group 27 the sonac 28.Owing to permissible time gate of replying is arranged, may have the additional faults allowance deviation of replying to undesirable.
In case the position in wireless transceiver module 20 above the first wireless reply device module 10 under one group of sonac 27 called out, this wireless transceiver module 20 just can recover the information of the existing position of this cage 37.
The result is, of the present inventionly can both provide split hair caccuracy, high position promptness rate to any one position measurement in the hoist-hole; Because the installation/adjusting work amount of hoist-hole seldom, only need lower installation/adjustment expense; Since simple in structure and do not have mechanical wear, do not need maintenance cost; Because the whole world is all applicable, only need lower overhead charges; And the operation of can not need proofread and correct.
Though this explanation is an example with vertical elevator traffic, it is equally applicable to general level and vertical conveying.
Though the present invention is described in detail with regard to specific embodiment, obviously those skilled in the art can make various alternative, modifications and variations after reading above-mentioned explanation.Therefore the present invention ought to comprise all these alternative, modifications and variations, as long as they are in the broad range that limits at appended claims.
