Definitions
- an elevator car and a counterweight are conventionally supported on and interconnected by traction means.
- the traction means is driven through engagement with a motor-driven traction sheave to move the car and counterweight in opposing directions along the elevator hoistway.
- the drive unit consisting of the motor and traction sheave, is normally located in the upper end of the elevator hoistway or alternatively in a machine room directly above the hoistway.
- US2008/085232 describes an apparatus and method for solving the problems associated with the first situation described above.
- the drive unit has a motor unit and a deflecting unit. If the counterweight which is supported by the deflecting unit rests on a pit buffer for example, the deflecting unit is unloaded and is raised by means of a spring element of the monitoring device. A sensor of the monitoring device detects the movement of the deflecting unit and switches off the motor of the motor unit via a safety circuit.
- the invention provides an elevator installation having a car, a counterweight, traction means interconnecting and supporting the car and counterweight, a drive unit to drive the traction means and a controller to control and regulate the movement of the drive unit and thereby the movement of the car.
- the elevator installation further comprises a load measurement sensor mounted to the car to output a signal representative of the load of the elevator car.
- a processing unit having an input to receive the load measurement sensor signal transmits a first signal from its output if the load measurement sensor signal deviates outside a predetermined range.
- the load of the elevator car is continually monitored by the associated elevator controller for numerous reasons.
- the reason which is most recognisable to passengers is that of an overload condition when too many passengers have boarded the stationary car at an elevator landing in which case the controller prevents the doors from closing and the drive from moving the car and normally activates a buzzer to notify the passengers.
- the load signal also enables the controller to pretorque the motor before a trip so that when the brakes are lifted the trip commences safely and smoothly.
- the invention provides an additional purpose for an existing load measurement signal so that the additional cost of providing and installing a slack rope contact to determine whether the elevator car has jammed along its downward travel path is avoided.
- the controller is connected to the output of the processing unit. Accordingly, the controller can automatically instruct the drive unit to commence an emergency stop on condition that the first signal has been received from the processing unit and the car is moving downwards. Accordingly, the car can be stopped immediately and thereby minimise the risk of injury to passengers or damage to the car.
- a communications module is preferably connected to the output of the processing unit.
- the communications module can immediately inform a remote monitoring centre, such as those conventionally used to respond to alarms raised by passengers within the elevator car, that the car has jammed. Accordingly, a technician can be dispatched automatically by the remote monitoring centre to deal with the situation.
- the invention also provides a detection device for detecting whether an elevator car has become jammed along its travel path, the detection device having an input connectable to a load measurement sensor mounted on an elevator car, a processing unit to analyse signals from the load measurement sensor and an output connectable to an elevator controller.
- the processing unit outputs a first signal when the load measurement sensor signal deviates outside a predetermined range. Accordingly, the detection device can be installed as an upgrade to existing installations quickly, easily and with minimum interruption.
- a method for detecting whether an elevator car has become jammed along its downward travel path includes the steps of monitoring the load of the car as it moves downwards and indicating that the car has jammed if the monitored load of the car deviates outside a predetermined range.
- an emergency stop is conducted upon indication that the car has jammed.
- a remote monitoring centre can be notified upon indication that the car has jammed.
- FIG. 1 An elevator installation 1 according to the invention is shown in FIG. 1 .
- the installation 1 is generally defined by a hoistway 2 bound by walls 4 within a building wherein a counterweight 6 and car 20 are movable in opposing directions along guide rails (not shown).
- Suitable traction means 8 supports and interconnects the counterweight 6 and the car 20.
- the traction means 8 is fastened to the counterweight 6 at one end, passed over a deflecting pulley 10 positioned in the upper region of the hoistway 2, passed through a traction sheave 14 also located in the upper region of the hoistway, and fastened to the elevator car 20.
- the traction sheave 14 is driven by motor 16 which together from the drive unit 12 of the elevator. Motion of the drive unit 12 is controlled and regulated by command signals C from an elevator controller 18.
- the car 20 comprises a frame consisting of an upper cross beam 24, two side struts 26 and a lower yoke 28 to which a passenger cabin 22 is mounted by means of resilient blocks 30. Guides (not shown) are mounted to opposing sides of the frame to ensure the smooth movement of the car 20 along its associated rails.
- the signal F from the load measurement sensor 32 is feed into an input 40 of a processing unit 34 which in the present embodiment is incorporated within the elevator control 18.
- the load measurement sensor 32 effectively provides an indication of the vertical position of the cabin 22 within the frame. Accordingly, the skilled person will readily appreciate that the sensor 32 can alternatively be located between the upper cross beam 24 of the frame and the cabin 22 to provide an indication of the vertical position of the cabin 22 within the frame and thereby the load of the cabin 22.
- the signal F from the load measurement sensor 32 is conventionally used by the elevator controller 18 for numerous reasons which include identifying an overload condition when too many passengers have boarded the stationary cabin 22 at an elevator landing and pre-torquing the motor 16 before a trip so that every journey commences safely and smoothly.
- the invention provides an additional purpose for the load measurement signal F which will be described with reference to FIGS. 2A and 2B .
- the controller 18 outputs a command signal C to the drive unit 12 instructing the drive unit 12 to accelerate the car 20 downward as shown in the first phase of the velocity profile of FIG. 2A .
- the car 20 travels downward with a constant, rated velocity.
- the command signal C instructs the drive unit 12 to decelerate the car 20 so as to arrive at the lower destination landing.
- the signal F from the load measurement sensor 32 for this journey is depicted by the solid line in FIG. 2B where the static load of the cabin 22 is represented by the term mg.
- the processing unit 34 can also inform a remote monitoring centre, such as those conventionally used to respond to alarms raised within the elevator cabin 22, that the car 20 has jammed via a communications module 36 incorporated within the controller 18. Accordingly, a technician can be dispatched automatically by the remote monitoring centre to deal with the situation.
- a remote monitoring centre such as those conventionally used to respond to alarms raised within the elevator cabin 22, that the car 20 has jammed via a communications module 36 incorporated within the controller 18. Accordingly, a technician can be dispatched automatically by the remote monitoring centre to deal with the situation.
- FIG. 3 illustrates a further embodiment of the present invention and is similar to that shown in FIG. 1 except the cabin 22 is mounted directly to the lower yoke 28 of the frame and the load measurement sensor 32 measures the strain in the upper cross beam 24.
- the load of the cabin 22 is effectively suspended from either end of the upper cross beam via the yoke 28 and side struts 26. Accordingly, the strain in the cross beam 24 is representative of the load of the cabin 22.
- the frame suddenly stops as depicted at times t1, t2 or t3 in FIG. 2C .
- the strain in the upper cross beam 24 is suddenly relieved and accordingly the signal F from the load measurement sensor 32 drops dramatically as illustrated by hashed lines in FIG. 2C .
- the processing unit 34 monitoring the output from the load measurement sensor 32 determines that the signal F has dropped below a lower threshold F2 and automatically directs the controller 18 to command the drive unit 12 to perform an emergency stop.
- the processing unit 34 can also inform a remote monitoring centre that the car 20 has jammed via a communications module 36 incorporated within the controller 18.
- processing unit 34 of the previously described embodiments is incorporated within the elevator controller 18, it will be appreciated that the processing unit 34 can be provided as a separate self-containing detection device which can be newly installed during modernisation for example between an existing load measurement sensor 32 and an existing controller 42.
