Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method and a device for supporting means testing of hoists according to the preambles of the independent claims 1 and 5, respectively.
  • the invention further relates to an elevator system designed according to the invention and to an elevator car designed according to the invention.
  • Lifting means of lifting equipment in particular hoisting ropes of elevator installations, do not constitute durable components. Rather, they have only a limited service life. For this reason, the condition of the suspension elements in hoists must be checked at regular intervals.
  • a visual inspection includes the counting of externally visible wire breaks and their evaluation regarding the detection of the Ablegereife the suspension means according to DIN 15020.
  • Counting the wire breaks proves to be extremely time-consuming, depending on the delivery height. In addition, depends the result due to the poorly recognizable wire breaks on the respective accuracy of the examining expert, which may be caused by its visual acuity or care, for example. The visual inspection is made even more difficult in today's engine-room-free elevators that they must be performed in the shaft pit or from the car roof in the shaft in low light conditions.
  • metrological test methods are known from the mountain railway sector which make it possible to evaluate a rope condition by means of a sensor system. Magnetic-inductive measurements should be mentioned in this context in particular.
  • the wire ropes go through a magnetic field, which undergoes a change in the occurrence of wire breaks. These changes are detected by means of measuring coils or Hall sensors, and evaluated in an evaluation unit.
  • the known measuring techniques are very expensive and require a high metrological effort.
  • sensitive and costly sensor units for measuring wire breaks only have to be installed temporarily on an elevator installation, while an evaluation unit, which can be integrated in an elevator control, is permanently kept at the elevator installation. This minimizes the expense of an expert testing a lift installation, as he only has to position the sensor device at a designated location on the lift installation.
  • the maintenance costs for elevator installations are minimized overall since one sensor unit can be used for a plurality of individual elevator installations.
  • the sensor signals are transmitted in un-evaluated and / or at least partially evaluated form, and additionally or alternatively, the information regarding the Ablegereife the suspension means to a provided remote from the hoist service center.
