Abstract

With this start-up control apparatus it is intended to reduce the starting jerk at elevators resulting from superimposing the motor cut-on moment and load moment and to improve the starting comfort of the elevator passengers. The brake magnet of the electromechanical holding brake of the elevator is connected for this purpose with a regulation device, by means of which there can be linearly decreasingly controlled the braking force during the elevator's start-up, so that there can be obtained a linearly ascending start-up moment of the drive. The linear decrease of the braking force first appears following decay of the cut-on moment peak of the drive motor. This can be obtained by optimum correlation of the start-up time point of a reference value transmitter of the regulation device and the drive motor as well as the proportional part (P-part) of the reference value transmitter, whose transfer function approximately corresponds to the time behavior of a PI-regulator. The cut-on moment peak can only have an inappreciable effect, since the brake spring is dimensioned such that the mechanical brake moment amounts to 3-fold to 3.5-fold of the motor rated moment or torque.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Anfahrsteuereinrichtung für einen Aufzug, mit einem über die Schliesskontakte eines Hauptschützes einschaltbaren Antriebsmotor und einer elektromechanischen Haltebremse, welche mindestens einen Bremsmagneten und eine Bremsfeder aufweist, wobei der eine Anschluss des Bremsmagneten über einen Schliesskontakt eines Bremsschützes an dem einen Pol einer Spannungsquelle angeschlossen ist und der Bremsmagnet beim Einschalten des Aufzugsantriebes erregt und die Haltebremse gegen die Kraft der Bremsfeder gelüftet wird.The invention relates to a starting control device for an elevator, with a drive motor which can be switched on via the closing contacts of a main contactor and an electromechanical holding brake which has at least one brake magnet and a brake spring, the connection of the brake magnet being connected to the one pole of a voltage source via a closing contact of a brake contactor is and the brake magnet is energized when the elevator drive is switched on and the holding brake is released against the force of the brake spring.

Einfache, wirtschaftliche, mittels Asynchronmotoren betriebene Aufzüge dieser Gattung besitzen keine eigentlichen Anfahrsteuereinrichtungen. Bei derartigen aus der Fachliteratur bekannten Aufzügen, beispielsweise Bethmann: «Der Aufzugbau», Verlag Friedr. Vieweg, Braunschweig, 1913, Seite 507 und Fig. 773, wird der Bremsmagnet einer elektromechanischen Haltebremse über die Kontakte des Hauptschützes des Antriebsmotors erregt. Die Lüftung der Haltebremse gegen Gewichts- oder Federwirkung erfolgt hierbei schlagartig beim Einschalten des Antriebsmotors. Der Anfahrkomfort derartiger Aufzüge ist ungenügend, da sich der Anfahrruck durch das schlagartige Lüften und die plötzliche Überlagerung von Motoranlaufmoment und Lastmoment stark bemerkbar macht.Simple, economical elevators of this type operated by means of asynchronous motors have no actual start-up control devices. In the case of such elevators known from the specialist literature, for example Bethmann: "The Elevator Construction", Verlag Friedr. Vieweg, Braunschweig, 1913, page 507 and Fig. 773, the brake magnet of an electromechanical holding brake is excited via the contacts of the main contactor of the drive motor. The holding brake is released against weight or spring action suddenly when the drive motor is switched on. The start-up comfort of such elevators is insufficient, since the start-up jerk becomes noticeable due to the sudden ventilation and the sudden superimposition of engine starting torque and load torque.

Weiterhin ist es bekannt, den Bremsmagneten der Haltebremse beim Anfahren über den Schliesskontakt eines Bremsschützes zu erregen. So wird beispielsweise bei einer Einrichtung nach der deutschen Auslegeschrift 1091303 das Bremsschütz beim Einschalten über einen Hilfskontakt des Hauptschützes des Antriebsmotors erregt. Hieraus ergibt sich eine gewisse Betriebssicherheit, da die Haltebremse erst gelüftet wird, wenn der Antrieb eingeschaltet ist. Ausserdem können mit einer solchen Anordnung Bremse und Antriebsmotor während der Verzögerungsphase des Aufzuges unabhängig voneinander gesteuert werden. Bei vorstehender Einrichtung entsteht automatisch eine Verzögerung zwischen dem Einschaltzeitpunkt und dem Beginn der Bremslüftung, womit jedoch keine nennenswerte Verbesserung des Anfahrkomforts erzielbar ist.Furthermore, it is known to excite the brake magnet of the holding brake when starting via the closing contact of a brake contactor. For example, in a device according to German specification 1091303, the brake contactor is energized when switched on via an auxiliary contact of the main contactor of the drive motor. This results in a certain level of operational safety since the holding brake is only released when the drive is switched on. With such an arrangement, the brake and drive motor can also be controlled independently of one another during the deceleration phase of the elevator. In the case of the above device, there is automatically a delay between the switch-on time and the start of brake ventilation, but this does not result in any noteworthy improvement in starting comfort.

Es ist andererseits bekannt, eine elektromechaniche Haltebremse für das geregelte Abbremsen eines Aufzuges während der Verzögerungsphase zum Zwecke des genauen Anhaltens zu verwenden. So weist beispielsweise eine Bremseinrichtung nach der deutschen Offenlegungsschrift 2003951 einen Regelkreis auf, der aus einem aus der Drehzahl einer abzubremsenden Welle einen Istwert bildenden Tachometerdynamo, einem das Bremsprogramm enthaltenden Sollwertgeber, einem den Ist- und Sollwert vergleichenden Regelverstärker sowie einem auf einen Bremsmagnet einwirkenden Stellglied besteht.On the other hand, it is known to use an electromechanical holding brake for the controlled braking of an elevator during the deceleration phase for the purpose of precise stopping. For example, a braking device according to German Offenlegungsschrift 2003951 has a control circuit which consists of a tachometer dynamo which forms an actual value from the speed of a shaft to be braked, a setpoint generator containing the braking program, a control amplifier comparing the actual and setpoint value, and an actuator acting on a brake magnet .

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine kostengünstige Anfahrsteuereinrichtung für einen Aufzug vorzuschlagen, mittels welcher der Anfahrkomfort wesentlich verbessert werden kann. Die Aufgabe wird durch die im Anspruch 1 gekennzeichnete Erfindung gelöst. Dadurch, das der Bremsmagnet BM der Haltebremse BR mit einer Regeleinrichtung RK verbunden ist, mittels welcher die Bremskraft während des Anfahrens linear abnehmend gesteuert wird, ist ein linear ansteigendes Anfahrmoment TR2 des Antriebes erzielbar. Die lineare Abnahme der Bremskraft setzt erst nach dem Abklingen der Einschalt-Momentenspitze des Antriebsmotors MH ein, was durch optimales Aufeinanderabstimmen der Startzeitpunkte des Sollwertgebers SWG und des Antriebsmotors MH sowie des P-Anteiles des Sollwertgebers SWG erreicht wird, wobei die Einschalt-Momentenspitze sich wegen der optimal ausgelegten Bremsfeder BF nur unwesentlich auswirken kann.The invention is based on the object of proposing an inexpensive starting control device for an elevator, by means of which the starting comfort can be significantly improved. The object is achieved by the invention characterized in claim 1. As a result of the fact that the brake magnet BM of the holding brake BR is connected to a control device RK, by means of which the braking force is controlled in a linearly decreasing manner during starting, a linearly increasing starting torque TR2 of the drive can be achieved. The linear decrease in the braking force only begins after the switch-on torque peak of the drive motor MH has subsided, which is achieved by optimally coordinating the starting times of the setpoint generator SWG and the drive motor MH and the P component of the setpoint generator SWG, the switch-on torque peak being different the optimally designed brake spring BF can only have an insignificant effect.

Die mit der Erfindung erreichten Vorteile sind hauptsächlich darin zu sehen, dass der aus der Überlagerung Motoreinschaltmoment-Lastmoment resultierende Anfahrruck stark reduziert wird und nach dem Abklingen des Einschaltmomentes bis zur vollständigen Lüftung der Haltebremse BR die Beschleunigungsänderung annähernd konstant ist. Damit wird der Anfahrruck weiter beträchtlich verkleinert und eine wesentliche Verbesserung des Anfahrkomforts erzielt. Ein weiterer Vorteil ist in der vorgeschlagenen Ausführung der Regeleinrichtung RK zu sehen, die alle Vorzüge elektronischer Einrichtungen, wie beispielsweise keine Verschleissteile, wartungsfrei, leichte Einstellbarkeit, lange zeitliche Stabilität und relativ niedrige Kosten, aufweist.The advantages achieved with the invention are mainly to be seen in the fact that the starting jerk resulting from the superimposition of the engine starting torque-load torque is greatly reduced and the change in acceleration is approximately constant after the starting torque has subsided until the holding brake BR is completely released. The starting jerk is further reduced considerably and a significant improvement in starting comfort is achieved. Another advantage can be seen in the proposed design of the control device RK, which has all the advantages of electronic devices, such as, for example, no wearing parts, maintenance-free, easy adjustability, long-term stability and relatively low costs.

In der Fig. 1 ist mit MH der Antriebsmotor eines Aufzuges bezeichnet, welcher über eine Treibscheibe TS eine an einem Förderteil FS aufgehängte, über ein Gegengewicht G ausbalancierte Aufzugskabine K antreibt. Der Antriebsmotor MH, beispielsweise ein Asynchronmotor, ist über Schliesskontakte SH eines Hauptschützes HS und Schliesskontakte SR-D, SR-U zweier nicht dargestellter Richtungsschütze mit einem Drehstromnetz RST verbunden. Damit der Anlaufstrom nicht zu gross wird, ist der Asynchronmotor vorzugsweise polumschaltbar, mit sechs und vier Polen ausgeführt. Eine auf die Treibscheibe TS und den Antriebsmotor MH einwirkende elektromechanische Haltebremse BR weist mindestens einen Bremsmagneten BM und eine Bremsfeder BF auf, wobei der eine Anschluss 1 des Bremsmagneten BM über einen Schliesskontakt SB1 eines Bremsschützes BS an dem einen Pol3 einer Gleichspannungsquelle NG angeschlossen ist und der andere Anschluss 2 des Bremsmagneten BM mit einer nachstehend näher beschriebenen Regeleinrichtung RK in Verbindung steht. Das Bremsschütz BS weist einen weiteren Schliesskontakt SB2 auf, über welchen das Hauptschütz HS erregbar ist.In FIG. 1, MH denotes the drive motor of an elevator, which drives an elevator car K suspended from a conveyor part FS and balanced by a counterweight G via a traction sheave TS. The drive motor MH, for example an asynchronous motor, is over Closing contacts SH of a main contactor HS and closing contacts SR-D, SR-U of two directional contactors, not shown, connected to a three-phase network RST. So that the starting current does not become too large, the asynchronous motor is preferably switchable with poles, with six and four poles. An electromechanical holding brake BR acting on the traction sheave TS and the drive motor MH has at least one brake magnet BM and a brake spring BF, the one connection 1 of the brake magnet BM being connected to the one pole 3 of a DC voltage source NG via a make contact SB1 of a brake contactor BS and the other connection 2 of the brake magnet BM is connected to a control device RK described in more detail below. The brake contactor BS has a further make contact SB2, via which the main contactor HS can be excited.

Die Regeleinrichtung RK besteht aus einem Sollwertgeber SWG, einem Istwertgeber IWG, einem eine Regelabweichung bildenden Substrahierer S, einem Zweipunktregler RV und einem als Stellglied dienenden Schalttransistor T.The control device RK consists of a setpoint generator SWG, an actual value transmitter IWG, a subtractor S forming a control deviation, a two-point controller RV and a switching transistor T serving as an actuator.

Der Sollwertgeber SWG ist ein Operationsverstärker, der durch äussere Bauelemente derart programmiert ist, das seine Übergangsfunktion annähernd dem Zeitverhalten eines PI-Reglers entspricht. Der eine Eingang des Sollwertgebers SWG ist über den Schliesskontakt SB1 des Bremsschützes mit dem einen Pol 3 der Gleichspannungsquelle NG verbunden, während sein Ausgang am Eingang des Subtrahierers S angeschlossen ist.The setpoint generator SWG is an operational amplifier that is programmed by external components in such a way that its transition function corresponds approximately to the time behavior of a PI controller. One input of the setpoint generator SWG is connected to one pole 3 of the DC voltage source NG via the make contact SB1 of the brake contactor, while its output is connected to the input of the subtractor S.

Der Subtrahierer S ist ein die Differenz zwischen Soll- und Istwert verstärkender Operationsverstärker, dessen Ausgang mit dem Eingang des Zweipunktreglers RV verbunden ist. Der Zweipunktregler RV, ein als Schalter arbeitender Operationsverstärker, ist über seinen Ausgang an der Basis des Schalttransistors T angeschlossen. Der Kollektor des Schalttransistors T ist mit dem anderen Anschluss 2 des Bremsmagneten BM verbunden, wobei zwischen beide Anschlüsse 1, 2 des Bremsmagneten BM eine Diode D geschaltet ist.The subtractor S is an operational amplifier that amplifies the difference between the setpoint and actual value, the output of which is connected to the input of the two-point controller RV. The two-point regulator RV, an operational amplifier operating as a switch, is connected via its output to the base of the switching transistor T. The collector of the switching transistor T is connected to the other terminal 2 of the brake magnet BM, a diode D being connected between the two terminals 1, 2 of the brake magnet BM.

Der Istwertgeber IWG besteht aus einem Verstärker V und einem Messwiderstand MR, welcher einerseits am Emitter des Schalttransistors T und dem einen Eingang des Verstärkers V und andererseits am anderen Pol 4 der Gleichspannungsquelle NG und dem anderen Eingang des Verstärkers V angeschlossen ist. Der Verstärker V ist ein Operationsverstärker, der durch äussere Bauelemente derart programmiert ist, dass der während der Sperrzeit des Schalttransistors T über den Bremsmagneten BM und die Diode D fliessende Freilaufstrom simuliert und verstärkt wird. Der Ausgang des Istwertgebers IWG ist mit dem Eingang des Subtrahierers S verbunden.The actual value transmitter IWG consists of an amplifier V and a measuring resistor MR, which is connected on the one hand to the emitter of the switching transistor T and the one input of the amplifier V and on the other hand to the other pole 4 of the DC voltage source NG and the other input of the amplifier V. The amplifier V is an operational amplifier which is programmed by external components in such a way that the freewheeling current flowing through the brake magnet BM and the diode D during the blocking time of the switching transistor T is simulated and amplified. The output of the actual value transmitter IWG is connected to the input of the subtractor S.

Die vorstehend beschriebene Anfahrsteuereinrichtung arbeitet wie folgt:

  • Bei Erteilung eines Fahrbefehls, beispielsweise für eine Aufwärtsfahrt, werden das entsprechende Richtungsschütz erregt und die dazugehörigen Schliesskontakte SR-U geschlossen. Über einen nicht dargestellten Hilfskontakt des Richtungsschützes wird dabei das Bremsschütz BS erregt, so dass der Schliesskontakt SB1 schliesst (Zeitpunkt I, Fig.5). Mittels des weiteren Schliesskontaktes SB2 des Bremsschützes BS wird das Hauptschütz HS erregt, worauf die Schliesskontakte SH geschlossen werden und der Antriebsmotor MH anzulaufen beginnt (Zeitpunkt 11, Fig. 4). Das Anfahrmoment würde dabei ohne Anwendung der erfindungsgemässen Anfahrsteuereinrichtung nach der Kurve TM verlaufen (Fig. 2 und 4).
The starting control device described above works as follows:
  • When a travel command is issued, for example for an upward movement, the corresponding directional contactor is energized and the associated make contacts SR-U are closed. The brake contactor BS is excited via an auxiliary contact (not shown) of the directional contactor, so that the make contact SB1 closes (time I, FIG. 5). The main contactor HS is energized by means of the further make contact SB2 of the brake contactor BS, whereupon the make contacts SH are closed and the drive motor MH starts to run (time 11, FIG. 4). The starting torque would run according to curve TM without using the starting control device according to the invention (FIGS. 2 and 4).

Das anfänglich vorhandene, beispielsweise dem Dreifachen des Motornennmomentes TMN entsprechende Bremsmoment TB20, steht dem Motoranlaufmoment TM entgegen, so dass nur eine kleine, sich in geringem Masse auf den Anfahrkomfort auswirkende Drehmomentenspitze TR20 wirksam wird (Zeitpunkt 111, Fig. 4). Mit dem Schliessen des Kontaktes SB des Bremsschützes beginnt der Sollwertgeber SWG zu arbeiten, wobei ein dem P-Anteil der Übergangsfunktion entsprechender Stromsollwert iSOLL an seinem Ausgang auftritt (Zeitpunkt I, Fig. 5). Da zu diesem Zeitpunkt der vom Istwertgeber IWG gelieferte Stromistwert iIST parktisch Null ist, wird die Regelabweichung so gross, dass die Ausgangsspannung des Subtrahierers S einen ersten Grenzwert überschreitet. Dadurch springt die Ausgangsspannung des Zweipunktreglers auf einen Wert, der bewirkt, dass der Schalttransistor T in den leitenden Zustand gesteuert wird. Der nun durch den Bremsmagneten BM und den Schalttransistor T fliessende ansteigende Strom wird vom Istwertgeber IWG über den Messwiderstand MR erfasst und als Stromistwert iIST dem Subtrahierer S zugeführt. Bei Annäherung des Stromistwertes iIST an den inzwischen linear angestiegenen Stromsollwert iSOLL unterschreitet die Ausgangsspannung des Subtrahierers S einen zweiten Grenzwert, wobei die Ausgangsspannung des Zweipunktreglers RV auf den ursprünglichen Wert zurückspringt und der Schalttransistor T in den nichtleitenden Zustand gesteuert wird. Der jetzt durch den Bremsmagneten BM und die Diode D fliessende absinkende Freilaufstrom wird im Istwertgeber IWG simuliert und als Stromistwert irsT dem Subtrahierer S zugeführt. Sinkt nun der Stromistwert iIST so weit ab, dass die Ausgangsspannung des Subtrahierers S wiederum den ersten Grenzwert überschreitet, so wird der Schalttransistor aufs neue in den leitenden Zustand gesteuert, worauf sich die vorstehend geschilderten Vorgänge wiederholen. Der Mittelwert des Stromistwertes iIST, der dem Mittelwert des durch den Bremsmagneten BM fliessenden Erregerstromes ierr proportional ist, folgt auf diese Weise dem linear ansteigenden Stromsollwert iSOLL (Fig. 5).The braking torque TB2 0 initially available, for example three times the nominal motor torque TMN, stands in the way of the motor starting torque TM, so that only a small torque peak TR2 0, which has a slight effect on the starting comfort, becomes effective (time 111, FIG. 4). When the contact SB of the brake contactor closes, the setpoint generator SWG begins to work, a current setpoint i SHOULD corresponding to the P component of the transition function occurring at its output (time I, FIG. 5). Since at this point in time the actual current value i IST supplied by the actual value transmitter IWG is practically zero, the control deviation becomes so great that the output voltage of the subtractor S exceeds a first limit value. As a result, the output voltage of the two-point regulator jumps to a value which causes the switching transistor T to be controlled in the conductive state. The rising current now flowing through the brake magnet BM and the switching transistor T is detected by the actual value transmitter IWG via the measuring resistor MR and supplied to the subtractor S as the actual current value i IST . When the actual current value i ACT approaches the current linear setpoint i SOLL , the output voltage of the subtractor S falls below a second limit value, the output voltage of the two-point regulator RV jumping back to the original value and the switching transistor T being controlled into the non-conductive state. The sinking freewheeling current now flowing through the brake magnet BM and the diode D is simulated in the actual value transmitter IWG and supplied to the subtractor S as the actual current value i rsT . If the actual current value i IST drops so far that the output voltage of the subtractor S again exceeds the first limit value, the switching transistor is controlled again to the conductive state, whereupon the processes described above are repeated. The mean value of the actual current value i IST , which is proportional to the mean value of the excitation current i err flowing through the brake magnet BM, thus follows the linearly increasing current setpoint value i S OLL (FIG. 5).

Bei Erreichen eines Erregerstromes io, nach einer einem Ansprechverzug tA entsprechenden Zeitspanne, beginnt die Magnetkraft sich auf die Bremsfeder BF auszuwirken (Zeitpunkt IV, Fig. 4 und 5). Von diesem Zeitpunkt an wird das Bremsmoment TB2 proportional dem linear ansteigenden Erregerstrom ierr abgebaut, wobei sich nach Überwiegen des Motoranlaufmomentes TM über das Bremsmoment TB2 ein linear ansteigendes resultierendes Anfahrmoment TR2=TM+TB2 ergibt (Fig. 4). Nach einer Zeit von beispielsweise 0,5 Sekunden ist mit dem vollständigen Lüften der Haltebremse BR der Anfahrvorgang abgeschlossen (Zeiptunkt V, Fig. 4), so dass der Antrieb auf die Nenngeschwindigkeit hochlaufen kann.When an excitation current i o is reached , after a time period corresponding to a response delay t A , the magnetic force begins to act on the brake spring BF (time IV, FIG. 4 and 5). From this point in time, the braking torque TB2 is reduced in proportion to the linearly increasing excitation current i err , and after the motor starting torque TM has been outweighed by the braking torque TB2, the resultant starting torque TR2 = TM + TB2 increases linearly (FIG. 4). After a time of, for example, 0.5 seconds, the starting process is completed when the holding brake BR is fully released (point V, FIG. 4), so that the drive can run up to the nominal speed.

Beim Anfahren ohne Anwendung der erfindungsgemässen Anfahrsteuereinrichtung steigt beim Schliessen des Kontaktes SB des Bremsschützes (Zeitpunkt I, Fig. 3) der Erregerstrom ierr des Bremsmagneten BM anfänglich relativ steil an, so dass der Stromwert io schon nach einem sehr kleinen Ansprechverzug tA erreicht wird (Zeitpunkt 11, Fig. 2 und 3). Von diesem Zeitpunkt an wird das Bremsmoment TB1 proportional dem annähernd nach einer e-Funktion verlaufenden Erregerstrom ierr abgebaut, wobei sich ein nur wenig vom Motoranlaufmoment TM des im Zeitpunkt 111 (Fig. 2) anlaufenden Antriebsmotors MH abweichendes resultierendes Anfahrmoment TRi=TM+TB1 und damit ein ungenügender Anfahrkomfort ergibt.When starting without using the start-up control device according to the invention, when the contact SB of the brake contactor closes (time I, FIG. 3), the excitation current i err of the brake magnet BM initially increases relatively steeply, so that the current value i o already reaches t A after a very small response delay will (time 11, Fig. 2 and 3). From this point in time, the braking torque TB1 is reduced in proportion to the excitation current i err , which runs approximately according to an e-function, a resulting starting torque TRi = TM + TB1 deviating only slightly from the motor starting torque TM of the drive motor MH starting at time 111 (FIG. 2) and thus results in insufficient starting comfort.
