Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a brake control system for an elevator.
  • the current elevators include a motor equipped with power-down brakes which, in normal operating mode, are energized when the car is moving.
  • US 2011 / 048863A1 describes a device for controlling two braking members of an elevator, adapted to generate, according to a wiring logic by connectors, actuating signals allowing at least two modes of operation including a normal mode where two actuation signals are provided synchronously to the coils of the braking members, and a test mode of one of the two braking members where an actuating signal is supplied to the coil of the braking member under test, and another signal of actuation to permanently release the second braking member is supplied to the coil of the latter.
  • the brake control system combines all the functions necessary for controlling the brakes. Complex wiring outside the system is avoided.
  • the system can be qualified and approved to ensure that all functions are met with maximum reliability.
  • the operation in emergency mode can be guaranteed, if desired, in a large number of situations such as the absence of current, a failure of the maneuver, a failure of the motor encoder or a failure of the converter supplying the motor, .. some of these situations are not currently covered by some cabling.
  • the emergency function operated in emergency mode by the control system according to the invention preferably does not involve engine braking torque by short circuit motor phases. This guarantees a much more efficient backup when the cab is near equilibrium.
  • the electronic circuit is preferably arranged such that in case of simultaneous action by an operator on the test inputs of the brakes, they are not powered.
  • the electronic circuit advantageously comprises a single printed circuit board.
  • the braking power supply is advantageously the 110 V or 230 V single-phase network, possibly via an inverter.
  • the electronic circuit is preferably arranged to measure, in emergency mode, the speed of the motor from the voltage at its terminals, and to interrupt the supply of the brakes if a threshold voltage representative of a speed is exceeded. excessive.
  • the motor comprises an inductive sensor connected to the electronic circuit and to inform it on the speed of the motor. If excessive speed is detected, brake power is interrupted.
  • the intermittent release of the brakes in emergency mode preferably comprises phases of supply of the brakes for a period of between 2 and 8 seconds.
  • the intermittent release of the brakes in emergency mode also preferably includes non-supply phases of the brakes for a period of between 2 and 8 seconds.
  • the brakes are preferably powered, in normal operating mode, via power terminals connected electrically in series and internally with an emergency cut-off. Thus, this emergency shutdown can interrupt the supply of brakes in case of emergency.
  • the brakes are preferably powered, in parallel emergency mode, forcing the closure of this emergency cut.
  • the advantage of an internal break in replacement of an external contactor is to reduce the noise generated by the change of state of the contactor, by modifying the location where the contactor is usually located.
  • the system may include an arrival detection input on the cabin floor, which changes state upon arrival from the cabin to the floor; operation in mode emergency can be modified to interrupt the opening of the brakes when said arrival arrival detection input is in a state that corresponds to the arrival of the cabin to the floor.
  • the system comprises a diode voltage, resistance and varistor voltage clipping circuit, in parallel with each supply output of a brake.
  • the electronic circuit according to the invention comprises a microprocessor / microcontroller self-monitoring unit which monitors the coherence of the states of the different inputs and outputs and activates an electromagnetic relay when the operation of the electronic circuit is considered as non-faulty.
  • the output of this relay can be used in a safety chain of the elevator.
  • the invention also relates to an elevator equipped with a control system according to the invention.
  • This system 1 comprises an electronic circuit board, preferably single, supporting a number of components arranged to perform the desired functions.
  • the electronic circuit may comprise a microcontroller 20 and the appropriate interfaces and power relays.
  • the electronic circuit includes terminals that allow its electrical connection to the various elements controlled by the system or controlling the operation of the brakes.
  • a power supply 2 for example 230V 50Hz single phase, which corresponds to the network or an inverter, is connected to the circuit.
  • Brakes 4 and 5 are connected to terminal pairs "Brake1" and “Brake2" respectively of the circuit.
  • the brakes 4 and 5 are out of power, that is to say that in the unpowered state, they block the rotation of the motor shaft.
  • Input 10 is connected to a dimmer that powers the motor or to a controller of elevator operation.
  • the output voltage of the drive is present on the motor control terminals 25 to 27 of the electronic circuit.
  • the brake to be kept open is selected by means of two respective logic inputs T 1 and T 2 , each connected, for example, to a pushbutton or other switch.
  • the brake which remains in normal operation is controlled by the logic input 10 and the energy is taken from the power supply 2.
  • the electronic circuit is arranged such that if the inputs T 1 and T 2 are closed simultaneously, the brakes are not powered.
  • the transition to emergency mode is validated using a logic input 12 (also called “enable”), connected to a key switch or a chain rescue, for example.
  • a logic input 12 also called “enable”
  • the control inputs 10 also called “open”
  • test T 1 and T 2 are then inhibited and both brakes 4 and 5 are controlled simultaneously, the energy of supply of the brakes being taken from the power supply 2.
  • the brakes are controlled in emergency mode by a logic input 14, connected to a push button or a controller of the operation of the elevator.
  • the synchronous motor M When the brakes are open, because of the state imposed on the input 14, the synchronous motor M is likely to be driven by the load of the cabin. We measure its speed using the voltage induced at its terminals, connected to the inputs 25 to 27 of the electronic circuit. When the voltage between phases reaches a threshold voltage, for example 280V peak, the system 1 cuts the current in the brakes 4 and 5, in order to stop the rotation of the motor.
  • a threshold voltage for example 280V peak
  • the frequency converter (not shown) driving the motor M goes into a mode where its output no longer delivers any voltage to the motor during operation in emergency mode.
  • the voltage induced at the motor terminals during its rotation, independently of the drive, is then sinusoidal.
  • the rescue must be able to be carried out safely even if the engine fails.
  • the absence of voltage feedback on the terminals 25 to 27 does not mean that the cabin does not move, because there may be disconnected cables or a burned engine for example.
  • the absence of voltage is detected by the system 1 and, in this case, a series of openings / closures is made, for example 5s of opening and 5s of closing of the brakes 4 and 5 until the stoppage of the emergency command, or until the arrival command to the floor on a corresponding input 16 is given.
  • Brakes 4 and 5 are powered by the Brake1 and Brake2 terminals respectively.
  • the electronic circuit has two cuts independent of the power supply of each brake: a cut made by the rectification electronics, called a "break "service", for example by means of one or more semiconductor components, such as transistors, thyristors or triacs, and a cut made by an electromechanical relay with state recopy, called “emergency cut”.
  • the service interruption is controlled by the control input 10 and the emergency cutoff is controlled by the input 12.
  • a logic output CS copies the on state or not of the service interruption and a logic output CU copies the whether or not the emergency cut-off occurs. This allows the controller of elevator operation to know the state of these cuts, as would be the case of conventional electromechanical contactors.
  • the system 1 supplies the brakes 4 and 5 in live mode via the Brake1 and Brake2 outputs by forcing the closing of the cut-out. emergency.
  • the emergency mode must be able to operate in the presence of a first fault on the circuits used in normal mode.
  • the redundancy of the brake supply circuits can thus be exploited to provide the emergency mode in the presence of a first fault.
  • a diode / resistance / varistor assembly On each output Brake1 and Brake2 is integrated a diode / resistance / varistor assembly, to dissipate the magnetic energy of the brakes in the case of power failure. In the case of shutdown in normal operating mode, energy is dissipated in the brake resistor only
  • the electronic circuit comprises a relay 30 which is powered by a microprocessor / microcontroller self-check unit 35 whose role is to check the coherence of the states of the different inputs and outputs of the electronic circuit.
  • a microprocessor / microcontroller self-check unit 35 whose role is to check the coherence of the states of the different inputs and outputs of the electronic circuit.
  • the supply of the electromagnetic relay 30 ceases, and the corresponding output 40 changes state, which makes it possible, for example, to stop the operation of the elevator installation and / or to signal the malfunction.
  • connections with the logic inputs or outputs are advantageously grouped together in a detachable terminal block.
  • the power connections such as the supply of the circuit via the 230 V AC network, the connections to the motor and to the brakes are also advantageously grouped together on a detachable terminal block with polarization.
  • the invention is not limited to the illustrated example.
  • the different functions can be realized with an analog rather than a digital circuit.
  • Logic input 16 is optional.
  • the electronic circuit does not receive the voltage across the motor.
  • the motor can be equipped with an inductive sensor which delivers by a line 60, shown in dotted lines on the figure 1 , to the electronic circuit information about the speed of rotation of the shaft.
  • This inductive sensor delivers for example a square signal at 16 periods per revolution.
  • the electronic circuit receives both the voltage at the motor terminals and the information transmitted by the inductive sensor via line 60.
