Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method and a device to adjust the deck distance for biplane or Multi-deck elevators.
  • DE 1 113 293 is an elevator system became known, which consists of an elevator with two one below the other, to the height of two floors includes extending cabins.
  • the two cabins which are driven by a common motor, form a so-called double-decker elevator and are rigidly coupled.
  • Double decker elevator is unable to accommodate both cabins stop precisely on the corresponding floors allow. At least one or both Cabins create stopping inaccuracies or so-called Thresholds to the floors.
  • One or both of the cabins are in the respective cabin unit movably attached to the vertical distance between the cabins to the distances adapt each of the superimposed floors can.
  • a measuring device which is the position of a cabin relative to each Cabin unit determines
  • a control unit that comprises a data memory.
  • the control unit takes over the directed call Task to drive the cabin unit to one Control reference point in the shaft and the positions one or both cabins relative to the reference point According to the values stored in the data memory for the distances between the floors to be controlled adapt.
  • the cabin unit Reference point to choose would be detailed Process steps for controlling movement of the Cabins relative to the reference point are not disclosed.
  • the invention has for its object a Double-decker or multi-deck elevator and a process to propose to control such an elevator, which does not have the aforementioned disadvantages.
  • FIG. 1 shows a cover distance control according to the invention for an elevator one consisting of three lifts Elevator group shown, which with a known for example from EP 365 782 Group control works.
  • An elevator a is in one Elevator shaft 1, one of three elevators, for example a, b and c existing elevator group.
  • a Carrier 2 drives a via a rope 3 in Elevator shaft 1 guided, from two in one Car frame 4 arranged cabins 5, 6 formed Double decker elevator 7, according to the example selected elevator system sixteen floors E1 to E16 to be served.
  • a shown in detail A of Figure 1 Drive a so-called deck distance drive machine DA, can, for example, a spindle gear change the mutual coverage distance of the cabins 5, 6 so that this with the distance between two adjacent floors always matches.
  • the carrier 2 is one of, for example, from the EP 026 406 controlled drive control, wherein the setpoint generation, the control functions and the Stop initiation by means of a microcomputer system 8 be realized, and with 9 the measuring and Actuators of the drive control are symbolized via a first interface IF1 with the microcomputer system 8 communicating. With 10 are measuring and Actuators of the deck distance drive machine DA designated, which via an interface IF5 with the Microcomputer system 8 are connected. The Microcomputer system 8 processes the necessary ones Information that is shown in the flow chart according to Fig. 2 are shown.
  • Each car 5, 6 of the double-decker elevator 7 has a load measuring device 11, a device 12 signaling the respective operating state Z of the car 5, 6, a device 13 for detecting the position of the cars 5, 6 relative to the entire elevator and car call transmitter 14.
  • the devices 11, 12 are connected to the microcomputer system 8 via the interface IF1 and the measuring and actuating elements 10 via an interface IF6.
  • the car call transmitter 14 and the floor call transmitter 15 provided on the floors are connected to the microcomputer system 8, for example, via an input device 16 that has become known from EP 062 141 and a second interface IF2.
  • the microcomputer system 8 comprises a storey call memory RAM1, two car call memories RAM2, RAM3 assigned to the cabins 5, 6 of the double-decker elevator 7, a load memory RAM4 storing the current load P M of each car 5, 6, two the operating state Z of the cabins 5, 6 storage memory RAM5, RAM6, two tabular partial cost memories RAM7, RAM8 assigned to the cabins 5, 6 of the double-decker elevator 7, a first total cost memory RAM9, a second total cost memory RAM10, a deck / call assignment memory RAM11, an elevator with the lowest operating costs
  • the RAM12 memory a RAM13 memory with the differences determined for all adjacent floor distances against a mean deck distance DMDD, a RAM14 memory for the values mean deck distance MDD, actual value deck distance difference IDDD, target value deck Distance range SDDS, etc., a program memory EPROM, a span Fail-safe data memory DBRAM and a microprocessor CPU, which is connected via a bus B to the memories RAM1 to RAM14, EPROM and DB
  • R1 and R2 denote a first and a second scanner of a scanner, the scanner R1, R2 being registers by means of which addresses corresponding to the floor numbers and the direction of travel are formed.
  • the cost memories RAM7 to RAM10 each have one or more memory locations, which can be assigned to the individual possible cabin positions.
  • R3 and R4 denote the selectors corresponding to the individual cabins in the form of a register which, when the cabin is moving, indicates the address of the floor on which the cabin can still stop. At a standstill, R3 and R4 point to the floor where a call can be served or to a possible cabin position (for "blind" floors).
  • the selector addresses are assigned target paths which are compared with a target value generated in a setpoint generator. If these paths are identical and a stop command is present, the delay phase is initiated. If there is no stop command, the selectors R3 and R4 are switched to the next floor.
  • microcomputer systems of the individual elevators a, b, c are known from, for example, EP 050 304 Comparison device 17 and a third interface IF3 and also, for example, from EP 050 305 known party line transmission system 18 and a fourth Interface IF4 interconnected and form in it A group control with adjustment of the deck distance for double-decker or multi-decker elevators.
  • the measured position values are saved and at every trip or periodically updated for any Changes such as building shrinkage, to be able to record. From this data the necessary coverage distances calculated, which for a simultaneous stopping without thresholds for the cabins 5.6 are necessary. It is also possible to follow the procedure not just with a conventional group control, but in any type of control (Destination call control, etc.).
  • FIG. 2 shows a flowchart for the control of the Adjustment of deck distance while driving.
  • the setpoint deck distance distance SDDS is lifted the difference the difference to the middle deck distance DMDD and the actual value difference to the mean deck distance IDMDD determined.
  • Is the required deck distance already preset that means the setpoint deck-distance distance SDDS is zero, no action is taken because both cabins 5, 6 in the target stop exactly the floor levels to reach.
  • FIG. 3 shows a schematic representation of a Device for adjusting the deck distance at a Double decker elevator 7 with two opposite Car frame movable cabins 5, 6.
  • the two cabins 5, 6 arranged. Both cabins 5, 6 each have one Cabin guides 53 guided on guide rails, separate cabin frames 54, 55.
  • a pulse tachodynamo 60 To determine the mutual position of the cabins 5, 6 is used for example a pulse tachodynamo 60.
  • DA deck distance drive machine
  • the control of this drive is located for example in the machine room of the elevator system.
  • a spindle 62 with opposing threads for the two assigned cabins 5, 6 and reaches through an opening 63 through the plate 61.
  • the Cabin frames 54, 55 are provided with threaded plates 64, which accommodate the spindle 62.
