Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a control system for elevator systems, which should be adaptable to all system-specific requirements with simple means.
  • Controls of this type are adapted to the circumstances when implemented by means of relays or else in electronics by means of the corresponding control design.
  • control computers have been used so far, the adjustment has been made through the individual design of the software.
  • specially trained personnel are required for system processing, and handling the control is difficult both during commissioning and during normal operation, maintenance, etc.
  • the lack of appropriately trained personnel has accordingly made it difficult to use control computers, and in particular also microprocessors.
  • DE-A-26 17 171.1 In order to save maintenance and adjustment work and to guarantee a good leveling of the cabin of an elevator system in connection with an electric elevator control, the applicant has already proposed and made known DE-A-26 17 171.1) to provide a memory within the control which the stop-level positions determined on a route before starting up the elevator system by counting distance units, which are marked on the route, are entered in order to then electrically determine the corresponding switching point for switching on the deceleration of the drive when a stop is approached. In order to compensate for slip, etc., the memory value for the stop-level position in the memory is corrected whenever necessary.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a system-independent control unit which is to be preprogrammed uniformly for use cases which are to be regarded as customary and which consists of a central control unit with, if appropriate, additional modules.
  • control of the individual elevator is therefore automatically adapted to the conditions of a building by means of the information which is automatically adopted during the setting run. Since the control is set up and preprogrammed to carry out the adjustment run as well as to carry out normal operation, there is no need for any system-dependent processing and production, which also simplifies the spare parts inventory.
  • the additional modules are used for adaptation.
  • System or customer-specific special functions are carried out according to cataloged specifications, which include simple external wiring, which in turn activates control-internal software modules.
  • the elevator control is adapted to the building with the stop specifications of the special functions by means of a setting run carried out under the control of the central control device before commissioning.
  • the system-specific peripheral control devices which essentially include the means for internal command and external calls, their receipts, the status display and the continue display, are preferably designed in a normal manner, with regard to the interaction with the central microprocessor control, in terms of electrical and electronic equipment that is minimized in terms of expenditure. Means for error detection and location are also available in this area, so that it can be ascertained simply and unambiguously whether a possible malfunction in the system-dependent peripheral area or in the central microprocessor control is caused. If the central control unit malfunctions, it will be replaced. This is possible because all tax content is structured and preprogrammed in the same way. However, to adjust the exchanged central control unit to the building, an adjustment run must be carried out again.
  • the module system explained above is also designed so that the central control unit can work together with corresponding additional modules as a supplement to the copying unit of existing relay or electronic controls, so that with the use of a suitable drive control device, modernization of older systems with a view to increasing the traffic performance and the increase in driving comfort becomes possible.
  • FIG. 1 schematically shows the cabin route in elevation
  • FIG. 2 shows the shaft cross section to the system.
  • Figs. 1 is a cabin, which hangs on a support cable 2.
  • the cabin is transported via a traction sheave 3, which is driven by a motor 4.
  • the supporting cable 2 is guided over a deflection roller 5 and provided with a counterweight 6 at the free end.
  • the flush position of the cabin with the individual stops is marked by switching flags 7, which are preferably attached to the shaft doors.
  • the switching flags 7 cooperate with an encoder 8 attached to the cabin 1.
  • a switching curve 9 is fastened to the cabin 1 for the control-related detection of the final stops when the cabin is approaching. This actuates the pre-limit switch VEu 10 when approaching the lowest stop and the pre-limit switch VEJ1 when approaching the top stop.
  • switching flags 12 are also installed on the individual floors for the special functions P 1 -P 4 depending on the stop for optional occupancy.
  • Elevator cars can have more than one door. For example, two car doors in cooperation with corresponding shaft doors can be present for loading. In special cases, up to 3 doors are possible. This is practically the maximum number, since there must be space for the counterweight on one side of the cabin. If there are several car doors, only the car door or the car doors for which there is a landing door may open when the bus stops. This must be indicated in each case by the corresponding entry and level switch flag 7.
  • the flush-position switch flags 7 and the switch flags for identifying the stop-dependent special functions P 1 - P 4 corresponding to the arrangement of 3 doors in corresponding escape lines are, as shown clearly in FIG. 3 arranged, the corresponding arrangements each with an index 12 1 . 12 2 , 12 3 are provided.
  • the microprocessor designed according to the invention is given the information as to which of the elevator doors that may be present in the corresponding stop and which other special functions must be implemented in this stop.
  • the distance covered by cabin 1 is determined by means of a segment disk 30.
  • the segments to be attached to the segment disk are arranged in such a way that when the sensor 31 is turned clockwise, the transmitter 31 is actuated first, while when it is turned to the left, the actuator 32 is actuated done first.
  • the transmitters 31 and 32 are not actuated between each step.
  • both the distance traveled (number of revolutions of the segment disk 30) and the direction of movement of the cabin (up or down) can be determined from the successive one by the signals emitted by the two sensors Signals 31 and 32 emitted signals are determined, the path lengths between the individual floors being stored during the setting phase and, as already explained, the values can be corrected for later trips and the corresponding acceleration and deceleration commands can be determined directly.
  • the opening of the doors etc. can then also be set, embodiments with three stop switches that allow entry of the cabin with the doors already open and readjustment with the door open, and versions with only one stop switch in which an entrance with opening Doors and readjustment with an open door is not allowed to be realized.
  • FIG. 5 schematically shows the view of an elevator shaft from the inside in the direction of view of the layer door 150.
  • the illustration in FIG. 2 can be viewed as a plan view.
  • FIG. 3 can be viewed as a top view, the view according to FIG. 5 would have to be folded over again laterally or again opposite one another under circumstances with offset bus stops.
  • an escape line (P 1 - P 4), which is equipped with one or more switch flags for the stop-dependent special functions, must be equipped with a switch on the cabin in the corresponding escape line. In principle, these switches could be removed after the adjustment run. However, there are operational advantages if these switches are also present in the cabin during normal operation.
  • Fig. 6 the elements that are necessary for self-adjustment of the system and also for operation are summarized in an overview.
  • the figure shows in the upper area the sensors 31 and 32 for registering the change in level of the cabin and below the sensors 80, 81 and 82 with the indices 1 and 3 assigned to the three tracks for influencing the stop counter and for obtaining the signals for the entry and flush position.
  • the sensors E 1, E 2 and E 3 assigned to the individual tracks for the stop-dependent special functions P 1 - P 4 are indicated.
  • the stop-dependent special functions have further signal inputs and outputs according to the different functions.
  • the display of four shaft-dependent special functions P 1 - P 4 is chosen arbitrarily. However, it should be sufficient for practical operation.
  • the individual signals of the named transmitters reach the CPU 52 for processing via the interrupt interface 51 and from there to the memory 53.
  • the Data stored in non-volatile memory areas. These can be battery-backed RAMs, PROMs, EPROMs or EEPROMs, to reveal some possibilities.
  • the individual level values and the entry routes are now entered in a non-volatile memory as well as the markings P 1 - P 4 in connection with the path or escape line markings. During normal operation, these are read out by the processing program to control the elevator.
  • the storage organization can be carried out in a manner known per se in different ways.
  • the storage space to be provided depends on the maximum number of stops to be reached in an elevator as well as the code selected once (1 out of n code or dual code etc.).
  • the leveling level values are the entry routes and the markings P 1, - F4 ⁇ of the stop-dependent special functions in the non-volatile memory.
  • the information about the leveling level values of the individual stops and the associated entry routes are now available in a form suitable for further processing.
  • the information about the top stop of the system in question in the stop counters must now be saved and the information about the markings of the stop-dependent special functions is brought into a form suitable for processing.
  • Two types of information can be obtained. Namely, once for the stop-specific functions and information for checking and, if necessary, correcting the stop counter during normal operation.
  • This modified information for the stop-dependent special functions and for checking and correcting the stop counter can be stored in the non-volatile memory area and additionally in a normal working memory.
  • Self-adjustment before the start of normal elevator operation also includes the automatic determination of the width of the car doors for controlled door drives, which is then carried out after the adjustment run.
  • the door movement and entrance of the cabin are connected or coupled.
  • the entry path is determined by switch 81 n (Bk), while during normal travel the first switch 88 n (Eb) or 82 n (Ef) takes control of the entry until it is flush.
  • This drive-in route control is also in operation when passing through stops, so that stops with short distances, whose drive-in paths overlap, can be optimally approached.
  • the holding accuracy is to be increased while assembly and adjustment work becomes less. This is possible because, with the dimensionally correct mounting of the switch lugs 7, the exact center of the switch lugs and thus the flush position can be recognized by simply counting system path units WE.
  • the microprocessor control program recognizes the passing of the leveling switch flag 7 0 at the 1st stop, if there is no signal change at the control inputs of switches 80 (Eb) and 82 (Ef) that the system in question is equipped with simple stop switches, and automatically switches the internal control program.
  • the microprocessor control automatically measures the cabin door way after the adjustment run has been carried out to adapt the elevator control to the building.
  • this measure only needs to be carried out if controllable cabin door drives are available and is carried out in succession for all doors (max. 3). This is explained in more detail by FIG. 9, with the door drive being identified with 201, the door drive control with 200, the door speed setpoint influence with 231-237 and the door travel limit switches with 202, 203.
  • FIG. 8 shows an example of the course of the driving curve, the area of the path-dependent influence on the entry being indicated on the right.
  • Fig. 7 is also indicated on the right that when the switch 81 (Bk) is actuated, the entry and leveling switch flags generate entry-dependent signals for the cabin door opening for doors with controlled drives.
  • the coupling of the path-dependent entry of the cabin into a stop with the door movement guarantees, regardless of the set or possibly changing entry speed, always the same ratio between the decreasing step height between the cabin floor and the level of the stop and the changing gap width of the opening opening Door.
  • the associated switch 204 on the microprocessor control is switched to the switch position E. "Setting” switched.
  • the door movement is switched on at the creep speed that is not path-dependent.
  • the cabin door 205 can open or close.
  • the movement of the car door 205 is recognized by the likewise moved segment disc 206, which actuates the sensors 207 and 208.
  • the cabin door width is determined by counting the encoder signals in the microprocessor control and the counting result is stored in a non-volatile memory 220 for later processing in normal operation.
  • the associated switch 204 is switched back to the switch position N "normal operation".
  • an increasing guideline 209 is generated during the first half of the "door movement and a falling guideline 209 during the second half.
  • This guideline shows an approximate path-dependent speed diagram of the uniformly accelerated or decelerated door movement.
  • the turning point lies in the middle of the cabin door opening, ie half of the value for the car door width stored in the non-volatile memory 220.
  • a motion-optimal guideline 209 results in a parabola which is open towards the center.
  • the output signal of the digital-to-analog converter 230 is the analog voltage value of the guideline corresponding to the respective position of the front edge of the cabin door leaf 205 within the cabin door opening 205 a.
  • This guideline is only the limitation of the setpoint of the controlled door drive, so that it always optimally approaches the door end positions and not the setpoint itself.
  • Guideline 210 can serve as an example for normal cabin door widths for passenger elevators.
  • a trapezoidal guideline is used as a general solution to ensure that no system-specific interventions in the program are necessary in order to have approximately the same setpoint voltage at the same door speeds even for the wider doors for patient beds or freight elevators.
  • a number of special functions may be required to operate an elevator, such as key switch travel, limitation of interior command processing, deletion of an interior command, etc.
  • the elevator When a so-called key switch travel is requested, the elevator only reacts to the interior commands when the key switch is actuated in the cabin, while the outside calls are suppressed. This suppression or deletion of the landing calls can be achieved by influencing the up and down input, intermediate, preprocessing and processing registers which are connected to the "key switch cabin" switch.
  • a cabin with three doors can also be operated with only one or two cabin panels, so that the problem of selective door opening only exists for a few stops or may even be completely eliminated.
  • the latter is the case, for example, if the three operating sides of the elevator have different spacing between stops and accordingly there is only one shaft door for each operating side and stop.
  • the short stop distances already mentioned at the beginning can also occur here, at which the entry areas of two stops overlap.
  • the cabin is only equipped with a cabin board.
  • the selective door opening only applies to two of the three possible operating sides, while the cabin door on the third side always opens non-selectively when a landing door is present.
  • the cabin is only equipped with two cabin panels.
  • control computer 300 without any system-specific influence by the program, provided that the number of cabin panels in the cabin can be recognized by the controller. This recognition possibility is given by the control computer 300 and the partially reproduced interfaces 301 according to FIG. 10.
  • FIG. 1.0 in which a group control computer 500 can use the elevator control computers 300, which are assigned to two or more groups, to recognize the traffic load conditions in the other groups, an automatic adaptation of the elevator systems to the entire traffic volume is possible without doing so again a higher-level coordination facility is required.
  • the automatic control-technical recognition and decision as to which of the elevators can now serve the close-up area due to its shaft height and which can also serve the far-end area is due to the memory in each control computer 300, which contains the value of the top stop of the system in question, for the associated group control computer 500 recognizable.
  • the basic equipment of the present microprocessor control system is to be used with appropriate supplementary modules for the modernization of already existing elevator systems with control systems in relay technology or normal electronics.
  • the microprocessor control then works as a supplement to the existing copying unit and, together with the use of a suitable drive controller, serves to increase the driving comfort and the traffic performance of the existing and still operating systems.
  • the delay path numerically adjustable on the microprocessor control by means of a switch is important for the nominal speed of the elevator drive. This setting can be made either in metric units or in plant route units WE.
  • the double adjustable deceleration distance is the criterion for whether the distance between the stop in which the cabin is located and the stop to be reached can be traveled at the nominal speed or whether the possible speed can be calculated.
  • the stop counter contains, directly or indirectly, the memory address of the level value of the stop in which the cabin is located.
  • FIG. 11 shows, symbolically indicated, four decimal rotary switches 550 for setting the deceleration path for the nominal speed.
  • the designation D means decimally adjustable rotary switches and the powers indicate the decimal places.
  • the setting is made in the decimal system, while the internal processing in the control computer 300 is carried out in the dual system. For this reason, the control computer must still convert the decimal setting into a corresponding dual numerical value.
  • a scale factor is present in the processing program, which was originally set to 1, so that the numerical values set at the switches 550 relate to the plant path units WE.
  • the delay path which is generally specified in metric units, it is necessary to determine the plant scale factor with a subsequent conversion. This specification is therefore only suitable for simple systems in which a system path unit WE lying in the near centimeter range is already possible due to the drive of the segment disk 30 and the segment arrangement.
  • a ruler 552 or 553 is installed in the shaft before the adjustment run. This is a dimensionally stable, long switching flag, which actuates a switch 81 (Eak) or 554 when the cabin drives past.
  • the number of system route units WE is counted during the duration of the switch actuation.
  • the scale factor of this system is determined from this count at the end of the adjustment run and stored in a non-volatile memory 551 instead of the original 1. From At this point in time, the delay path that can be set on the rotary switches 550 is a metric value for the nominal speed of the system.
  • this criterion for distinguishing the ruler 552 from the entry and leveling switch flags 7 also presupposes that the switches 80 (Eb) and 82 (Ef) are present, which precludes the use of hold switches.
  • the setting of the rotary switches 550 in WE plant units can be reserved for such simple systems.
  • the ruler 553 can be made much longer because it can be attached to places in the shaft where there are no obstacles in the length dimension, such as shaft doors, etc. It is therefore particularly suitable for fast systems. However, there is a switch 554 only used to count the length of the ruler.
  • the adjustment modules are also indicated, which must be provided to supplement a conventional control for the modernization case.
  • a setting potentiometer 555 is used to set the time for the search count when determining the vehicle speed (initiation of deceleration), a stop input "Stop”, a setting potentiometer 556 to set the time for counting pulse “up "and a setting potentiometer 557 for setting the duration for counting pulse” down "is provided.
  • An important piece of information for operating elevators in a group is the length of the delay path for the nominal speed of the individual systems on a comparable scale, e.g. B. metric. This is of particular interest if they have different nominal speeds.
  • the delay path at the nominal speed is part of the information that is given to the group control computer 500 from the individual elevators. This also enables a computational optimization of the traffic handling.
  • the group computer also contains the station level values of the system. In principle, a table with the level values of each stop would be sufficient. However, since in the case of elevator groups it is not always possible for all the elevators to serve all the stops and sometimes not all the elevators have shaft doors in all the stops, it is advisable that the operable stops of each elevator belonging to the group are available in a table in the group computer 500.
  • Control computers 300 which were not switched on during this procedure, transfer their data for conversion and normalization after they have been switched on.
  • the stop is shown continuously in the left column as a decimal number and next to it as a binary number, while on the right the assignment of, for example, 4 lifts A 1 to A 4 combined to a group control is shown.
  • the table is limited to 14 (16) stops and 4 elevators for reasons of illustration.
  • top and bottom storage positions of an elevator must be assigned zeros (-00).
  • the stop positions above the top stop of an elevator are also assigned zeros (-00).
  • This entry table is organized as if the first stops of the elevators involved in group operation were on one building level. In practice, however, this is often not the case.
  • a more obvious requirement for a tabular elevator system model is that the entrance stops (E) of the elevators involved in the group operation are on one building level. This specification is possible with the stop functions depending on position P1 to be explained for each individual elevator.
  • the processing table (FIG. 13) of the group computer 500 contains a model of the elevator group that is automatically determined by the individual assemblies of the control system and that reproduces the exact system configuration, even in the case of irregular arrangements, with the stop level values in metric units.
  • a model of the elevator group that is automatically determined by the individual assemblies of the control system and that reproduces the exact system configuration, even in the case of irregular arrangements, with the stop level values in metric units.
  • deceleration paths for the nominal speed that can be set on rotary switches 550 also make it possible to change the acceleration and deceleration values very easily when elevator systems are in operation.
  • the control technology adaptation to the new conditions is completely automatic.
  • the counting capacity of the level meter does not have to cover the entire height of the building.
  • the second differentiation of the stop count makes it possible to run through the counting range several times. This also results in the maximum possible spacing between stops, which must be within a counting range. With a stop distance that exactly corresponds to the counting range of the level counter, a clear distinction between a 0 distance and the counting range distance is not possible. Therefore, the maximum possible distance between stops must be at least 1 smaller.
  • a number of customer-specific control functions for the stop-dependent special functions P1 to P4 can be implemented in a simple manner without interfering with the operating software.
  • No connection or an OV signal at the activation input of the relevant position means that this function is switched off, i.e. is not in operation.
  • An L signal at the activation input, whether hardwired or switched, means that the function of this position is switched on.
  • the register assigned to this function is also taken into account in the internal command processing in the computer 300.
  • a passive function does not trigger a separate control process. It generally prevents the arrival of specified stops that are only accessible to a specific group of people. The so-called key switch trips belong in this area. Here, certain stops can only be approached when a key switch is operated. Pressing the key switch switches off the activation input of the relevant position. If the key switch is not actuated, i.e. in the case of blocked arrivals, the processing method applies to passive processing.
  • switch flags for the stop-dependent special functions somewhat longer than switch flags 7. This means that a blocked vehicle can be blocked in the event of a possible incorrect start A stop, possibly caused by an incorrect counting of the stop counter, with activated activation of the relevant position (P1 to P4) and appropriate program design, can prevent the car door from opening in such a case.
  • An active function is a mode of operation that automatically triggers travel commands for the elevator. In this case, generally only one stop is specified in the escape line associated with the respective position (Pl to P4).
  • stop-dependent special functions it is possible to adapt the elevator systems to special customer requirements without having to influence the operating software. As some examples will show later, the work required for this can also be carried out by personnel who have no particular knowledge of microprocessor technology.
  • Position P1 has a special position compared to the other positions. It serves to specify the entrance stop. Here, only a marking in the associated shaft escape line is possible. In the case of elevator groups, the entrance stop must be marked for the associated individual elevators, even if the associated connections are not connected. The marking of the entry stop transmitted to the associated position of the entry path memory during the adjustment run is transmitted to the group control computer 500 in the case of group controls.
  • position P1 can also perform other tasks for the single elevator related to the entrance stop.

  • connection "S a " (signal output) is connected directly to the connection S e (signal input) as indicated in FIG. 14, the door time in the input stop should be the normal one. If a time delay Z, as shown in FIG. 15, is switched between these connections, the door time in this stop becomes longer in accordance with the delay.
  • the microprocessor recognizes this during the setting phase and registers this for the system to be controlled by it.
  • FIG. 16 shows, in an analogous example, a connection example for using a stop-dependent special function P 2 to P 4 as a parking stop.
  • the individual connections are labeled and assigned analogously.
  • Only one parking stop can be realized with one position. However, by using several switchable positions, several parking stops can be made possible for one elevator.

  • a P position With a P position, only the priority or direction trip for a stop can be realized. If these trips are required for several stops, then more positions must be used, the activation inputs of which are then actuated accordingly.
  • a timer Z In order to keep the car door in the priority or management station a little longer open, a timer Z must be switched between the "signal output" connection, which only delivers a signal when the car is in the relevant station, and the "signal input" connection.
  • the stop-dependent special functions can also be used to carry out so-called operational journeys. This includes the shutdown circuit, the emergency power circuit and the fire brigade circuit.
  • the computer can restart the elevator, which has stopped at any point in the shaft in the event of a power failure, after switching on the emergency power generator in order to put it out of operation at a predetermined stop.

Due to the closed control loop and the automatic setting of the controller during commissioning, which is carried out in both directions of travel due to the different load conditions, empty load in the upward direction and full load in the downward direction, the effect of a determined controller setting can be checked immediately and, if necessary be improved again. With a suitable setting strategy specified by the program, which is based on the approximate determination of the controller setting values and their variation with subsequent success control, the control system searches for the possible optimum itself. After this has been achieved, a display is shown, on which the setting trip explained earlier for adaptation takes place the control can be carried out on the building.
  • the controller setting values determined by the control computer are used during the commissioning drive to improve the control behavior via the digital-to-analog converters 607 and 608 automatic setting is output to the drive controller.
  • the controller setting potentiometers are equipped with motorized drives 609 and 610, which use the tracking amplifiers 611 and 612 and the position feedback potentiometers 613 and 614 to make the settings specified by the digital-to-analog converters 607 and 608.
  • So-called contactless potentiometers can also be used instead of the electromechanical motor potentiometers.
  • These can consist, for example, of magnetically controllable resistors, the resistance of which is determined by the current of the associated digital-to-analog converter. In this case, the control current must also be available during normal operation. It is therefore necessary to load the digital-to-analog converter at initialization with the values determined during the commissioning run and stored in the non-volatile memory area.
  • controller setting values determined by calculation during commissioning are contained in numerical form in the non-volatile memory area, it makes sense to include the controller as a digital controller in the task area of the control computer 300. 19 shows an overview of this. As can be seen from this, the structure of the system becomes simpler.
  • control computer 300 processes the computer in order to determine the leveling level values of the driving speed and also the switching points for switching on the deceleration, it is expedient to also determine the setpoint for the drive control internally in the control computer in the same way.
  • the changing signal that is required during the start-up drive to determine the control characteristic values is generated internally in the control computer and also processed further, as is the case with normal operating drives.
  • the measuring points detected by the analog-digital converters 604 and 606 are internally accessible for determining the controller setting values.
  • the function of the drive controller takes place internally in the control computer, taking into account the controller setting values determined during the commissioning trip and available in the non-volatile memory area, only the output signal of the digital-to-analog converter 621 is present as a signal for influencing the actuator 620.
  • the actual value signal is fed to the control computer 300 via the analog-digital converter 622.
  • the deceleration distance set on the switches 550 applies to the longer acceleration or deceleration distances. This is indicated in the diagram of Figure 20 above.
  • the shorter deceleration distance which occurs for the deceleration in the down-travel direction and for the acceleration in the up-travel direction, which is indicated in the diagram of FIG. 20 below, is calculated.
  • the values on which the acceleration and the change in acceleration of the longer deceleration distance are based are multiplied by a factor which, for example, represents the difference in human sensation for the acceleration and the change in acceleration for the up and down directions of travel.
  • the resulting shorter acceleration or deceleration distance is then used in the present application for determining the driving speed and also the switching point for switching on the deceleration.
  • the double deceleration distance set on the switches 550 (FIG. 11) was used as the distance from which the nominal speed can be driven
  • the deceleration distance set at the switches 550 (FIG. 11) is added to the level value of the cabin that changes with the movement, while the shortened deceleration distance is subtracted from this in the down-traveling direction.
