Diese Aufgabe wird verfahrensgemäß dadurch gelöst, dass für den normalen Fahrbetrieb der Einrichtung die in der übergeordneten Steuerung abgespeicherten Ausrichtungen der Antriebe als Referenz genutzt wird, wobei die übergeordnete Steuerung die einzelnen Antriebe dergestalt regelt, dass die Abweichungen der Antriebe untereinander optimiert werden.According to the method, this object is achieved by using the orientations of the drives stored in the superordinate control as reference for the normal driving operation of the device, wherein the superordinate control regulates the individual drives in such a way that the deviations of the drives are optimized with one another.

Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens sind den zugehörigen verfahrensgemäßen Unteransprüchen zu entnehmen.Advantageous developments of the method according to the invention can be found in the associated subclaims.

Diese Aufgabe wird gegenständlich auch gelöst durch eine Einrichtung zur Regelung mehrerer im Bereich einer Einrichtung zum Personentransport vorgesehener Antriebe, wobei ein jeder Antrieb mit einem Frequenzumformer in Wirkverbindung steht, und wobei sämtliche Frequenzumformer mit einer übergeordneten Steuerung in Wirkverbindung stehen, wobei ein jeder Elektromotor mit mindestens einem mechanischen Getriebe in Wirkverbindung steht, und wobei ein jeder Frequenzumformer über eine Datenleitung mit der übergeordneten Steuerung verbunden ist, dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass die Einrichtung einsetzbar ist für nach Art eines räumlichen Kurvenbogens geführte Einrichtungen zum Personentransport, insbesondere eine Rolltreppe oder einen Rollsteig.This object is also objectively solved by a device for controlling a plurality of provided in the field of a device for passenger transport drives, each drive is in operative connection with a frequency converter, and wherein all frequency are in operative connection with a higher-level control, each electric motor with at least a mechanical transmission is in operative connection, and wherein each frequency converter is connected via a data line to the higher-level control, characterized in that the device is used for guided in the manner of a curved space facilities for passenger transport, in particular an escalator or a moving walkway.

Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen der erfindungsgemäßen Einrichtung sind den zugehörigen gegenständlichen Unteransprüchen zu entnehmen.Advantageous developments of the device according to the invention can be found in the associated subject subclaims.

Bei dem erfindungsgemäßen Verfahren handelt es sich um ein geschlossenes drehzahlgesteuertes Antriebssystem mit übergeordneter Steuerung. Die übergeordnete Steuerung erhält die Informationen der Antriebe direkt oder über die dazu gehörigen Frequenzumformer. Dazu ist an jedem Antrieb ein Impulsgeber angebracht.In the method according to the invention is a closed speed-controlled drive system with higher-level control. The higher-level controller receives the information from the drives directly or via the associated frequency converters. For this purpose, a pulse generator is attached to each drive.

Unter übergeordneter Steuerung wird folgendes verstanden:

  • Die übergeordnete Steuerung wird als separate Komponente außerhalb des Frequenzumformers ausgebildet,
  • die übergeordnete Steuerung ist innerhalb eines Frequenzumformers integriert,
  • die übergeordnete Steuerung ist Teil der allgemeinen Steuerung der Personenförderanlage.
By superior control is meant the following:
  • The higher-level controller is designed as a separate component outside the frequency converter,

Der Fachmann wird die Art der übergeordneten Steuerung in Abhängigkeit vom jeweiligen Anwendungsfall auswählen.The person skilled in the art will select the type of superordinate control as a function of the respective application.

Da es sich hier um ein geschlossenes drehzahlgeregeltes System handelt, muss zunächst die Ausrichtung der einzelnen Antriebe zueinander ermittelt werden, damit die Antriebsräder (Kettensterne/Kettenräder) aller Antriebe ständig eine formschlüssige Verbindung zur Kette haben.Since this is a closed-loop speed-controlled system, the orientation of the individual drives relative to one another must first be determined so that the drive wheels (chain star / sprocket wheels) of all drives constantly have a form-locking connection to the chain.

Die Stellung der Antriebe untereinander kann beispielsweise durch mindestens eine Referenzfahrt der Personenförderanlage ermittelt werden.The position of the drives with each other can be determined for example by at least one reference travel of the passenger conveyor.

Figur 1 zeigt als Prinzipskizze eine in diesem Beispiel als Rolltreppe ausgebildete Einrichtung zum Personentransport 1. Selbige kann bedarfsweise auch ein Rollsteig sein, sofern die gesetzlich vorgeschriebenen Neigungswinkel eingehalten werden. Lediglich angedeutet ist ein, aus einer Vielzahl von Stufen 2 bestehendes Stufenband 2'. Die unterschiedlichen Transportrichtungen (aufwärts, abwärts) sind mit Pfeilen angedeutet. Im Bereich des Ein- 3 und/oder Ausgangsabschnittes 4 kann ein nicht dargestellter Antrieb für das Stufenband 2' positioniert sein. In diesem Beispiel soll der linke untere Teil der Figur 1 einen Eingangsabschnitt 3 und der rechte obere Teil der Figur 1 einen Ausgangsabschnitt 4 darstellen. Zwischen dem unteren Eingangsabschnitt 3 und dem oberen Ausgangsabschnitt 4 erstreckt sich ein Transportabschnitt 5, der als räumlicher Kurvenbogen ausgebildet ist. In diesem Beispiel soll ein Kurvenbogen gegeben sein, der einen vorgebbaren Radius R, beispielsweise 210 m, aufweist. In diesem Beispiel ist gebäudeseitig ein gewölbter Unterbau 6 vorgesehen, der den Transportabschnitt 5 aufnimmt. Wie bereits angesprochen kann der Transportabschnitt 5 unter bestimmten Voraussetzungen auch freitragend ausgebildet werden. Der Transportabschnitt 5 selber wird gebildet durch eine Mehrzahl geradlinig verlaufender Gerüstabschnitte 7. Ein jeder Gerüstabschnitt 7 kann über Auflager 8 verfügen, über welche er einstellbar auf der Oberfläche 9 des Unterbaus 6 abgestützt werden kann. Wie in den Figuren 2 und 3 näher dargestellt, können die Gerüstabschnitte 7 beliebig geformt, d.h. auch gebogen, ausgebildet werden. FIG. 1 shows as a schematic diagram designed in this example as an escalator device for passenger transport 1. The same can, if necessary, also be a walkway, provided that the statutory angle of inclination are met. Only indicated is a, from a variety of levels 2 existing stage band 2 '. The different transport directions (upwards, downwards) are indicated by arrows. In the area of input and / or output section 4, an unillustrated drive for the step band 2 'can be positioned. In this example, the lower left part of the FIG. 1 an input section 3 and the right upper part of FIG. 1 represent an output section 4. Between the lower input section 3 and the upper output section 4 extends a transport section 5, which is formed as a spatial curve arc. In this example, a curve should be given, which has a predeterminable radius R, for example, 210 m. In this example, a curved substructure 6 is provided on the building side, which accommodates the transport section 5. As already mentioned, the transport section 5 can also be designed to be self-supporting under certain conditions. The transport section 5 itself is formed by a plurality of rectilinearly extending scaffolding sections 7. Each scaffolding section 7 can have supports 8, by means of which it can be adjustably supported on the surface 9 of the substructure 6. As in the Figures 2 and 3 shown in more detail, the framework sections 7 can be arbitrarily shaped, that is also bent, are formed.

Auf dem jeweiligen Gerüstabschnitt sind Balustradenelemente 10, beispielsweise in Form von Glasscheiben, aufgesetzt, auf denen ein Handlauf 11 in Transportrichtung bewegt wird. Im Eingangsabschnitt 3, respektive dem Ausgangsabschnitt 4, wird der Handlauf 11 analog zum Stufenband 2' in seiner Laufrichtung umgekehrt. Der Handlauf 11 kann bedarfsweise vom Stufenbandantrieb angetrieben werden oder wirkt mit einem eigenen Antriebsmittel zusammen. In diesem Beispiel soll der Höhenunterschied H zwischen dem Eingangsabschnitt 3 und dem Ausgangsabschnitt 4 ca. 21,4 m betragen, während die Gesamtlänge L der Rolltreppe 1 ca. 79 m beträgt.On the respective frame section balustrade elements 10, for example in the form of glass panes, placed on which a handrail 11 is moved in the transport direction. In the input section 3, respectively the output section 4, the handrail 11 is analogous to the stepped belt 2 'in his Direction reversed. The handrail 11 can, if necessary, be driven by the stepped belt drive or cooperates with its own drive means. In this example, the height difference H between the input section 3 and the output section 4 should be approximately 21.4 m, while the total length L of the escalator 1 is approximately 79 m.

Figur 2 zeigt in Linienform einige technisch realisierbare Möglichkeiten Ein- bzw. Ausstiegsabschnitte einer Rolltreppe mit Transportabschnitten miteinander zu verbinden. Es kommen unterschiedliche konvex und konkav geformte Kurvenabschnitte zum Einsatz. Die unterschiedlichen Radien sind mit Pfeilen dargestellt.

Sämtliche Elektromotore 24,28,29,30 sind leistungsmäßig in etwa gleich ausgelegt, wobei ein jeder Elektromotor 24,28,29,30 leistungsmäßig für die Bewegung des Stufenbandes 2' (Figur 1) über einen definierten Abschnitt a,b,c der Transportstrecke A ausgelegt ist.The device 1 'can be used to overcome arbitrarily large transport heights and / or transport distances by at least one further electric motor 28,29,30 including reduction gears 31,32,33 in the region of the inclined extending transport path A between the not shown, Transport equipment forming link chains is positioned. This arrangement forms an extremely space-saving design. Not shown here is that provided in the region 23 electric motor 24, respectively the reduction gear 25, cooperates with two deflecting elements formed by chain stars, which deflect the link chains in the region 23 in its direction. All electric motors 24,28,29,30 are designed to be approximately equal in terms of performance, with each electric motor 24,28,29,30 in terms of power for the movement of the step belt 2 '( FIG. 1 ) is designed over a defined section a, b, c of the transport path A.

Figur 5 zeigt als Prinzipskizze ein Steuerungsschema für das in Figur 4 dargestellte Antriebssystem. Ein jeder Elektromotor 24,28,29,30 wirkt mit einem Frequenzumformer 34,35,36,37 zusammen. Auch der Handlaufantrieb 27 ist mit einem Frequenzumformer 38 ausgestattet. Über entsprechende Datenleitungen 39,40,41,42,43 stehen die Frequenzumformer 34 bis 38 mit einer übergeordneten Steuerung 44 in Wirkverbindung. FIG. 5 shows as a schematic diagram a control scheme for the in FIG. 4 illustrated drive system. Each electric motor 24,28,29,30 cooperates with a frequency converter 34,35,36,37.

Dazu ist an jedem Antrieb 24, 28 bis 30 ein nicht weiter dargestellter Impulsgeber angebracht. Zur Ermittlung eines Referenzmusters, durch welches die Stellung der Antriebe 24,28 bis 30 zueinander ermittelt wird, wird je nach Regelungsverfahren eine dynamische oder statische Referenzfahrt durchgeführt. Dieses Referenzmuster wird in der übergeordneten Steuerung 44 abgespeichert und für den weiteren Betrieb der Rolltreppe als Referenz benutzt. Die übergeordnete Steuerung 44 regelt das Antriebssystem so aus, dass die Abweichungen der Antriebe 24, 28 bis 30 untereinander definiert werdenThe control system formed by the higher-level controller 44 and the frequency converters 34 to 37 is a closed speed-controlled drive system. The higher-level controller 44 receives the information from the drives 24,28 to 30 directly or via the associated frequency converter 34 to 37. For this purpose, a non-illustrated pulse generator is attached to each drive 24, 28 to 30. To determine a reference pattern, by which the position of the drives 24,28 to 30 is determined to each other, depending on the control method, a dynamic or static reference travel is performed.
