Definitions

  • the invention relates to a floor position detection device of an elevator installation according to claim 1 and a method for generating a floor signal in an elevator installation according to claim 13.
  • the EP 2516304 B1 discloses the preamble of claims 1 and 13, and describes a floor position detection device of an elevator installation with a sensor unit and an evaluation device for generating a floor signal having two states.
  • the sensor unit arranged on an elevator car has a total of five Hall sensors.
  • a permanent magnet is arranged in such a way that when the floor is approached, the Hall sensors mentioned each output a floor position parameter that is dependent on the distance of the corresponding Hall sensor from the permanent magnet.
  • Two of the Hall sensors are referred to as so-called main sensors, the floor position parameters of which are compared with one another to generate the floor signal.
  • the evaluation device changes the state of the floor signal.
  • the three other Hall sensors are required in particular to ensure that the evaluation device only reacts when the permanent magnet is in the vicinity of the sensor unit.
  • the inventive floor position detection device of an elevator installation has a sensor unit and an evaluation device for generating a two Floor signal having states.
  • the floor signal can assume the two states “in the floor area” or “outside the floor area”, with other states also being conceivable.
  • the sensor unit has a first Hall sensor for generating a first floor position parameter and a second Hall sensor for generating a second floor position parameter.
  • the evaluation device is provided to generate the floor signal based on a comparison of the first and second floor position parameters. According to the invention, the evaluation device is provided to check whether the first and / or second floor position parameter is greater than a first threshold value and to generate the floor signal based on the result of the test mentioned.
  • the combination of comparing the two floor position parameters and checking whether one or both floor position parameters are greater than a first threshold value enables an inexpensive floor position detection device with which an exact determination of the position of the elevator car in relation to a floor of the elevator system is possible at the same time.
  • By comparing the first and / or second floor position parameter with the mentioned first threshold value it can be determined in a simple manner whether the floor position detection device is located in the area of a magnetic means or not.
  • “located in the area of a magnetic means” should be understood to mean that a Hall sensor is located in a magnetic field of a magnetic means that the magnetic field leads to a significant or measurable increase in the sensor signal and thus in the floor position parameter.
  • the floor position detection device or the evaluation device transmits the floor signal via a communication link to an elevator control of the elevator installation.
  • the elevator control uses the floor signal in particular for the precise positioning of an elevator car that can be moved in an elevator shaft on a floor or on a shaft door assigned to a floor.
  • at least one magnetic means is attached in the elevator shaft at a point characterizing the position of the floor.
  • the magnetic means can, for example, be arranged on the shaft door assigned to the floor and the floor position detection device on the elevator car, in particular on a car door of the elevator car be.
  • the elevator control can position the car door and thus the car exactly opposite the landing door of the floor.
  • Said magnetic means can also be regarded as part of the floor position detection device.
  • the "in the floor area” state of the floor signal indicates that the elevator car is correctly positioned with respect to the floor. Then, in particular, the car door can be opened, which in particular also opens the shaft door assigned to the floor in a known manner.
  • the state “outside the floor area” of the floor area indicates that the elevator car is not in the immediate vicinity of a floor or at least not quite correctly positioned with respect to the floor and that in particular the car door cannot be opened.
  • a “floor position parameter” is to be understood as meaning, in particular, a sensor signal or a processed sensor signal from a Hall sensor that is generated by the magnetic field of a magnetic means.
  • an “evaluation device” is to be understood in particular as an electronics unit for processing analog and / or digital electrical signals.
  • “provided for this purpose” should be understood to mean in particular specially equipped, designed and / or programmed.
  • a “magnetic means” is to be understood in particular as a means for generating a magnetic field, in particular a permanent magnet in a cylindrical or cuboid shape.
  • the two mentioned two Hall sensors are preferably arranged at a known spatial distance from one another, as a result of which a very precise determination of the position of the floor can be achieved.
  • the evaluation device can in particular be designed as a programmable microcontroller which controls an output module, for example in the form of a so-called high-side switch or a so-called PNP transistor.
  • the output module then generates the floor signal transmitted to the elevator control. It is also conceivable that the floor signal is transmitted directly from the evaluation device to the elevator control.
  • the individual components of the floor position detection device are in particular arranged together in a housing, preferably in a plastic housing.
  • the plastic housing has, for example, a length of 60-120 mm in the direction of travel of the elevator car.
  • the sensor unit can in particular also have more than two Hall sensors, for example three or four Hall sensors.
  • the Hall sensors are arranged next to one another in such a way that they have a distance from the center of the sensor to the center of the sensor of 20-30 mm.
  • the Hall sensors are arranged in such a way that, when the floor position detection device is installed, they are arranged next to one another in the direction of travel of the elevator car.
  • the floor position detection device and the magnetic means are mounted in such a way that the Hall sensors have a distance perpendicular to the direction of travel of the elevator car of, for example, 5-25 mm from the magnetic means.
  • the first Hall sensor and the second Hall sensor are arranged in such a way that when a floor is approached, the approach can be derived from the first floor position parameter before the second floor position parameter. This means that when the floor position detection device approaches a floor and thus a magnetic means, the first floor position parameter increases before the second floor position parameter and thus indicates immersion in a magnetic field.
  • the two Hall sensors are thus arranged in such a way that the first Hall sensor is immersed in the magnetic field of the magnetic means in front of the second Hall sensor.
  • the evaluation device is also provided to assign the status "in the floor area" to the floor signal if the second floor position parameter is greater than or equal to the first floor position parameter and at the same time the first and / or second floor position parameter, in particular the second floor position parameter, is greater than the aforementioned first threshold value.
  • the first threshold value is selected in such a way that the floor position parameter is only greater than the first threshold value if the associated Hall sensor is in the area of the magnetic means, i.e. the floor position parameter has risen above the first threshold value due to the approach to the magnetic means.
  • the second floor position parameter is then equal to or greater than the first floor position parameter when the magnetic means is located between the two Hall sensors.
  • the position of the floor position detection device in relation to the magnetic means and thus in relation to a floor can thus be determined very precisely.
  • the comparison of the two floor position parameters can only provide a meaningful result if at least one of the two Hall sensors is in the area of a magnetic means. If a Hall sensor is not in the area of a magnetic means, the floor position parameter it supplies fluctuates randomly around a so-called rest level. If two floor position parameters which randomly fluctuate around the quiescent level are compared with one another, the result of the comparison is also random and cannot be used to generate the floor signal.
  • the additional condition in addition to the comparison of the two floor position parameters, that the first and / or second floor position parameter must be greater than the first threshold value, ensures that the floor signal is only assigned the status "in the floor area" if the first and / or or second Hall sensor and thus the floor position detection device is located in the area of a magnetic means.
  • the described quiescent level of the Hall sensors can in particular also be used to establish the first threshold value.
  • the first threshold value can be set, for example, to a multiple, for example three to five times, the quiescent level of the corresponding Hall sensor.
  • the mentioned rest level can be fixed for a certain type of Hall sensor during the production of the Floor position detection device measured or determined after the installation of the floor position detection device in an elevator system in a so-called learning run. For example, when the Hall sensor is supplied with 2 V, the first threshold value can be between 20 and 40 mV.
  • the above-mentioned object is also achieved by a method according to the invention for generating a floor signal in an elevator installation.
  • the floor signal can assume two states “in the floor area” or “outside the floor area”.
  • a first floor position parameter is generated by means of a first Hall sensor and a second floor position parameter is generated by means of a second Hall sensor of a sensor unit, the first Hall sensor and the second Hall sensor being arranged in such a way that when approaching a floor the approach the first floor position parameter can be derived before the second floor position parameter.
  • the floor signal is generated by an evaluation device based on a comparison of the first and the second floor position parameter.
  • the evaluation device checks whether the first and / or second floor position parameter is greater than a first threshold value and generates the floor signal based on the result of the test mentioned.
  • the evaluation device assigns the status "in the floor area" to the floor signal if the second floor position parameter is greater than or equal to the first floor position parameter and the first floor position parameter and / or second floor position parameter is greater than the first threshold value.
  • the evaluation device is provided to postprocess a first sensor signal from the first Hall sensor and / or a second sensor signal from the second Hall sensor in order to determine the first and / or second floor position parameter.
  • the post-processing can take the form of filtering, for example a low-pass filter, for example.
  • the evaluation device is provided in particular to calibrate the first and / or second sensor signal.
  • this should be understood to mean that the two sensor signals are converted into floor position parameters in such a way that both floor position parameters have the same maximum value.
  • Different Hall sensors can also output different sensor signals at the same distance from the same magnetic means and thus the same magnetic field.
  • the Hall sensors can therefore have a so-called scatter. This variation is compensated for by the post-processing described. It can thus be ensured that even with different floor position detection devices, the floor signal is always assigned the status "in the floor area" with almost exactly the same position of the floor position detection device in relation to the magnetic means and thus in relation to the floor.
  • the sensor signals are calibrated in particular in that a so-called calibration factor or gain factor assigned to a Hall sensor is stored in the evaluation device.
  • the evaluation device multiplies the value of the sensor signal by the calibration factor. This multiplication can also be implemented in an analog circuit.
  • the calibration factors can be selected, for example, so that both floor position parameters have the same predetermined maximum value. This maximum value can be, for example, 200-400 mV when the Hall sensors are fed with 2 V. Determining the calibration factors is referred to herein as "calibration".
  • the calibration described can be carried out, for example, after the floor position detection device has been installed in an elevator system during a so-called learning trip.
  • the elevator car with the floor position detection device arranged on it is moved slowly in the elevator shaft.
  • the floor position detection device moves past a magnetic means and the evaluation device detects the sensor signals from the Hall sensors. It can determine the maximum sensor signals of the individual Hall sensors and perform the calibration as described. It is also possible that the Information from a further position detection system, for example an absolute position detection system, can be evaluated.
  • the calibration can also be carried out directly during the production of the floor position detection device.
  • the same magnetic means can be arranged one after the other at the same distance from the Hall sensors, the evaluation device determining the maximum sensor signal in each case.
  • the evaluation device can then carry out the calibration as described. It is also possible for two magnetic means of the same type, which therefore generate the same magnetic field, to be arranged at the same distance in front of the Hall sensors at the same time and the evaluation device thus generates the maximum sensor signals.
  • the evaluation device is provided to reassign the floor signal to the status “outside the floor area” after a change from the status “outside the floor area” to the status “in the floor area”.
  • the floor signal thus only has an edge when the second floor position parameter is greater than or equal to the first floor position parameter and the first floor position parameter and / or the second floor position parameter is greater than the first threshold value.
  • This refinement can be advantageous, for example, when the floor position detection device is intended to replace an older floor position detection device which generates such a floor signal.
  • the period of time mentioned can have a duration between 1 and 100 ms, in particular 10 ms, for example.
  • the sensor unit has a third Hall sensor for generating a third floor position parameter, which is arranged opposite the second Hall sensor so that when a floor is removed, the removal from the second floor position parameter can be derived before the third floor position parameter.
  • a third Hall sensor for generating a third floor position parameter, which is arranged opposite the second Hall sensor so that when a floor is removed, the removal from the second floor position parameter can be derived before the third floor position parameter.
  • the evaluation device is also provided to assign the floor signal, based on the status “in the floor area”, the status “outside the floor area” if the third floor position parameter is greater than the second floor position parameter and the second and / or third floor position parameter is greater than a second threshold value.
  • the floor position detection device is therefore particularly cost-effective.
  • the second threshold value can in particular be the same size as the first threshold value.
  • the sensor unit has a third Hall sensor for generating a third floor position parameter and a fourth Hall sensor for generating a fourth floor position parameter.
  • the third Hall sensor and the fourth Hall sensor are arranged in such a way that when a floor is removed, the removal from the third floor position parameter can be derived before the fourth floor position parameter.
  • the evaluation device is provided to assign the status "outside the floor area" to the floor signal if the fourth floor position parameter is greater than the third floor position parameter and the third and / or fourth floor position parameter is greater than a third threshold value.
  • the area in which the floor signal has the state “in the floor area” when driving past a magnetic means and thus a floor can thus be set very flexibly. For example, it can be set so that the said area has a length of 20-30 mm.
  • the flexibility is achieved by assigning the status "in the floor area” as a function of the first and second floor position parameters and resetting to the status "outside the floor area” as a function of the third and fourth floor position parameters. Setting and resetting are therefore independent of each other.
  • the third threshold value can in particular be the same size as the first and / or second threshold value.
  • the third and fourth floor position parameters from the third and fourth sensor signals of the third and fourth Hall sensors, the same applies as for the generation of the first and second floor position parameters.
  • the evaluation device is provided to carry out an automated calibration when all sensor signals are greater than a fourth threshold value.
