Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for modernizing an elevator installation which has an elevator car which can be moved in a shaft by means of a first drive.
  • Measures for the modernization of elevator systems are for example from the EP 1 319 624 A1 and the EP 1 489 033 A1 known.
  • an elevator system is retrofitted with two movable in separate shafts cars with a destination call control.
  • the destination call control also includes several floor terminals for entering destination call messages or for recognizing identification codes of the users.
  • the destination call control comprises at least one arithmetic unit for evaluating the destination call messages or for assigning destination floors to identified identification codes.
  • a device is provided which uses a target signal output by the arithmetic unit in a control signal for controlling the respective existing elevator control in order to be suitable for the operation of a destination call Elevator to move.
  • a building with several elevator shafts can be modernized such that an additional destination call control is provided, so that the movable in a first shaft elevator is modernized with modern floor terminals and at the same time operated in another shaft second elevator continue to operate conventionally with a call message becomes.
  • the invention is based on the object of proposing a method for modernizing an elevator installation, which has a first elevator car which can be moved in a shaft by means of a first drive, the method enabling an increase in the transport capacity of the elevator installation.
  • the method according to the invention is based on the finding that an existing elevator installation in which a first existing elevator car can be moved in a shaft by means of a first drive can be modernized by installing at least one additional second elevator car with an associated second drive, wherein the first drive remains unchanged, that is, remains at the originally installed place and retains the previous equipment.
  • the invention preferably proposes, in a shaft of an elevator installation with a first elevator comprising a first elevator car and a first drive, to keep this first elevator unchanged and, in the context of the modernization, an additional elevator comprising a second elevator car and an associated elevator car second drive comprises, to install in the shaft, wherein as needed or exchange requirement as few existing units must be replaced or added.
  • the first elevator car can be kept completely unchanged. Alternatively, areas that may be visible to the user, such as the interior trim, may be changed or the first elevator car as a whole may be replaced by a modern elevator car.
  • the already existing guide rails for the first elevator car also remain unchanged.
  • the previous communication elements such as conventional floor callers, can be maintained in the floors served by the first elevator car after the modernization.
  • the method according to the invention makes it possible to increase the transport capacity in comparison to the elevator installation existing in the building before the modernization without the need for the installation of a further elevator shaft. Furthermore, the possibility is created to be able to continue to use the originally existing elevator during the reconstruction measures for modernization, at least in a limited operation. Depending on the existing funds and components of the first elevator, such as the interior trim of the first elevator car and / or existing floor callers can be renewed.
  • the second elevator car is installed such that the first elevator car and the second elevator car are guided on guide rails of the first elevator car.
  • the hydraulic drive with a centrally disposed, be equipped with two laterally arranged in parallel or with two laterally offset hydraulic piston.
  • control unit is configured such that the first elevator car and the second elevator car can be moved independently of one another. This proves to be particularly advantageous to maintain the required safety distances between the first and second elevator car and in the event that the first and second elevator car have an overlapping area of responsibility.
  • control unit is configured such that the first elevator car and the second elevator car each approach predetermined floors. For example, it can be provided that all destination calls delivered in a floor area accessible from both the first existing elevator car and from the second additional elevator car are allocated, for example, primarily to the second elevator car, since this allows faster travel times, for example. Such priorities can also be determined on the basis of other operating parameters, for example as a function of the operating times or the transport volume.
  • control unit may be configured such that in the modernization phase, that is, while steps a) to c) are being performed, the first elevator car only approaches predetermined floors.
  • the existing lift system remains, albeit with limited Operating area, that is to say mobile only over a smaller number of floors, in operation.
  • the control unit is configured such that the first elevator car can serve a first floor zone and the second elevator car can operate a second floor zone, wherein the first floor zone and the second floor zone preferably have at least one floor in common.
  • a so-called transfer zone can be created, that is, for example, a floor can be set up, which can be approached both by the first elevator car and by the second elevator car.
  • this transfer zone can also comprise several floors, which can each be operated by the first and the second elevator car.
  • the communication elements for the use of the first elevator car are replaced by modern communication units.
  • conventional floor call providers which comprise only input means for announcing the desired direction of travel (upwards or downwards)
  • modern destination call panels or terminals By means of such modern floor destination call panels, the user can determine not only the desired direction of travel but also the destination floor.
  • An installation of floor terminals allows automatic destination call delivery by means of a mobile telephone or other preferably wireless communication units.
  • the aforementioned modern communication units are as needed by means of wired or wireless data transmission with the control unit in the data exchange.
  • an existing conventional car call transmitter of the first elevator car is replaced by a modern car control panel.
  • the same or a different type of drive can be provided as for the first drive.
  • a traction sheave drive or a hydraulic drive can be installed as the second drive.
  • the second drive can be installed in the area of the pit or the head of the shaft.
  • Fig. 1 shows schematically an existing in a building elevator system 10 in the form of a passenger elevator.
  • the building comprises eight floors 11 to 18, which are accessible to persons located in the building via the elevator system 10.
  • the existing elevator installation 10 comprises a shaft 20, in which only a first elevator car 30 is arranged movable upwards and downwards by means of a first drive 32 in the form of a traction sheave drive.
  • the first drive 32 comprises a motor unit and a brake unit (not shown), which are arranged in a machine room 22.
  • guide rails 34 are mounted, which lead the first elevator car 30 along its track.
  • a conventional floor call generator 60 which has an up key and a down key, which allow the user to a destination direction indicate (upwards or downwards). Furthermore, the first elevator car 30 is provided with a conventional car call transmitter 70, which allows the user, after entering the elevator car 30, to deliver a destination call with the desired destination floor.
  • the elevator installation 10 has an existing control unit 50 which is connected to the first drive 32.
  • the control unit 50 communicates with all floor call providers 60 and the car call transmitter 70 in the data exchange.
  • the existing control unit 50 is first exchanged for a modern control unit 52.
  • the conventional floor callers 60 and the car call transmitter 70 of the first elevator car 30 are removed, and in the area of the floors 11 to 18 modern floor destination call panels 62 and in the first elevator car 30 a modern car panel 72 are installed. All floor destination call panels 62 and the car control panel 72 are connected to the control unit 52, so that a data exchange is possible.
  • the first drive 32 is connected to the control unit 52.
  • the control unit 52 is set up so that it can fulfill both the functions of the previous control unit 50 and the functions of modern controls. After performing this work, the elevator system 10 is already functional again, that is, the first elevator car 30 could now again a limited operation, for example, record only in the upper floors.
  • the newly installed control unit 52 is set in the mode of "conversion operation" which may already be input in advance or set in the field.
  • the first elevator car 30 is locked for a particular floor zone, which must be kept free for the following installation work.
  • a reduced maximum travel speed can also be set. If required, other safety measures of a mechanical nature, such as the temporary installation of a safety brake can be made.
  • a second drive 42 is installed in the form of a hydraulic drive in the pit of the shaft 20.
  • the hydraulic drive is indicated only schematically in FIG. 2 and can be equipped, for example, with a centrally arranged hydraulic piston arranged laterally in parallel with two or offset laterally.
  • a second elevator car 40 is installed in the shaft 20. This installation takes place in such a way that the second elevator car 40 is guided in the guide rails 34, which already guide the first elevator car 30.
  • the second drive 42 is connected to the second elevator car 40 so that the second elevator car 40 can be moved by the second drive 42.
