Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a system for measuring the load in an elevator system with an elevator car, a power supply system and a prime mover, and to a method for determining the load of the elevator car.
  • Elevator systems for transporting people and goods are well known and widespread.
  • An elevator system typically includes an elevator car that is moved vertically along an elevator shaft by a prime mover.
  • the drive machine performs mechanical work to transport passengers or goods to a higher position, or brakes the elevator car when lowering from a higher to a lower location.
  • such an elevator system is additionally equipped with a counterweight in order, among other things, to minimize the transport energy required for a statistically frequently occurring load on the elevator car, e.g. half load. If such a counterweight is present, then it is possible that mechanical work is required from the drive machine when an empty elevator car is lowered and energy is released when an empty elevator car is raised.
  • One aspect of the improved system for measuring load in an elevator system relates to an elevator system having an elevator car (e.g., a passenger elevator with a passenger car), a power supply system, and a prime mover.
  • the drive machine is set up to move the elevator car along a shaft and is connected to a power supply system via electrical conductors.
  • the energy supply system is connected to a network connection via electrical conductors.
  • the mains connection supplies the energy supply system with a substantially constant nominal voltage and frequency.
  • the system includes a first sensor system for measuring a performance parameter.
  • the performance parameter is indicative of the performance of the drive machine.
  • the system includes a second sensor system for measuring a movement direction parameter of the elevator car.
  • the movement direction parameter is indicative of the direction of movement of the elevator car.
  • the system includes a logic unit that is set up to calculate the load of the elevator car from the measured performance and direction of movement parameters.
  • the elevator system has an elevator control, and the logic unit (150) forms a unit that is functionally separate from the elevator control and does not record any operating status information from the elevator control.
  • Another aspect of the invention relates to a method for determining the load of the elevator car of an elevator system.
  • the method includes measuring a performance parameter of the electrical conductors using the first sensor system and measuring a movement direction parameter of the drive machine using the second sensor system.
  • the performance parameter becomes the performance of the drive machine determined and the direction of movement of the elevator car is determined from the movement direction parameter.
  • the load of the elevator car is ultimately determined from the power of the drive machine and the direction of movement of the elevator car.
  • Embodiments of the present invention advantageously make it possible to provide the elements necessary for determining the aforementioned operating data without necessarily having to access a central control of the elevator system. Therefore, flexibility, redundancy and reliability can be increased. According to embodiments, these elements can also be subsequently integrated into an existing elevator system without having to make changes to the existing control and drive electronics. This increases compatibility with existing systems, simplifies application and, among other things, enables flexible and cost-effective retrofitting of existing elevator systems. If the existing elevator system already contains a possibility for determining the moving load, the system according to the invention also provides an additional measurement, through which the existing system can be designed to be redundant and therefore fail-safe and, in the event of discrepancies between the two measurement results, contributes to the detection of a fault.
  • the present invention also solves the problem of relating the direction of movement of the elevator car to the work of the machine and thus determining whether a full or an empty cabin was moved. This increases the informative value of the specific operating data.
  • the determination of a load of the elevator car is provided by means of a combination of sensor systems and a logic unit.
  • the parts of the invention mentioned are typically not integrated into the control or drive electronics or into the mechanical components of the elevator system during production, but are added subsequently, for example during maintenance of the elevator system.
  • the invention is at least partially functionally separated from the elevator system, so it is not necessary to integrate the sensor systems or the logic unit into the existing elevator system to be integrated in such a way that precise knowledge of how the system works, e.g. the elevator control, is necessary. Likewise, the design according to the invention does not influence the elevator system to any significant extent. Intervention in the existing electromechanical system is thus avoided.
  • the load of the elevator car determined by the invention is provided by a logic unit in the form of a data record.
  • a data set contains at least one transported load as a single data point.
  • other data can be related to the load, such as the time at which the trip took place, the direction of the trip, the distance traveled, the capacity utilization at a certain time of day and/or a discrepancy between loads when rising and rising Shutting down the elevator system, whereby these examples only serve for description and numerous other combinations are possible and other values that are not measured or calculated by the system described can also be part of such a data set.
  • the logic unit can calculate the performance of the drive machine based on a performance parameter and calculate the direction of movement of the elevator car based on a movement direction parameter.

  • the data record is temporarily stored by the logic unit and made available to an authorized person upon request.
  • the logic unit can also store the data record on a data carrier save.
  • the data carrier can be exchangeable and suitable for further transport of the data. It is also conceivable that the logic unit actively sends the data record via suitable media when a previously defined condition occurs.
  • the condition can be, for example, the expiration of a previously defined time interval, or the fulfillment of any linked requirements, such as exceeding a previously defined number of trips with a certain minimum load.
  • Any system suitable for sending data sets such as bus systems, wireless RF systems or packet-based networks, can be considered as a suitable medium.

  • the IT infrastructure system may include a dedicated maintenance and monitoring system.
  • the logic unit can be a dedicated subsystem which, together with the necessary sensors, performs the function according to the invention in relation to an individual elevator system. It is possible for the logic unit to form a unit with one or more sensors of the sensor systems. However, it is also possible for the logic unit to be spatially separated from the respective elevator systems.
  • the logic unit can consist of several subsystems that perform different functions. If the logic unit consists of several subsystems, it is also possible that individual subsystems can carry out one or more functions equally and thus contribute to the reliability of the system. It is possible for a single logic unit to evaluate the sensor data from multiple elevator systems.
  • the logic unit prefferably evaluates the sensor data from numerous elevator systems and provides a large number of data sets.
  • the logic unit communicates with the sensor systems via suitable systems, such as analog or digital, wired systems, bus systems, wireless RF systems or packet-based networks.

  • the program can access the part of the memory that contains the elevator system-specific parameters.
  • the elevator system-specific parameter can be a calibration value with which a measured value can be multiplied, for example to calculate the power of the drive machine from the performance parameter or the direction of movement of the elevator car from the movement direction parameter.
  • a first sensor system which provides a parameter based on the electrical power of the drive machine during operation, which is indicative of the mechanical power of the drive machine.

  • the sensor is a current sensor.
  • the current sensor can be designed to be galvanically isolated from the electrical conductor, for example by measuring the magnetic flux density around the electrical conductor. Depending on the drive, it can be an AC sensor or a DC sensor.
  • the current sensor can be designed in such a way that installation is possible without having to be electrically connected.
  • the senor can be designed as a resistor which is interposed in the electrical conductor and across which a voltage drop is measured.

If the sensor already provides suitable data when the drive machine starts up, the data obtained in this way can also be used to determine whether the machine starts as a motor or generator, since, for example, a starting motor, in contrast to a generator, has a high electrical output at low speeds in the electrical conductor.
  • a second sensor system which provides a parameter that is indicative of the direction of movement of the elevator car.
  • the movement direction parameter is determined by at least one air pressure sensor.
  • the air pressure sensor may be mounted at a point in the elevator shaft, which is preferably a location near one of the axial ends of the elevator shaft.
  • the direction of movement of the elevator car can be determined by the fact that when the elevator car moves towards the sensor, the air column is compressed, as a result of which an increased air pressure is measured by the air pressure sensor.
  • the air pressure sensor is located at the bottom of a vertical shaft, then as the elevator car travels, the air pressure sensor will detect a higher air pressure as the elevator car moves downward and a lower air pressure as the elevator car moves upward.
  • the air pressure sensor can also be placed at the top of the shaft to measure a higher air pressure when the car is going up and a lower air pressure when the car is going down.
  • the air pressure sensor can be attached to the elevator car.
  • the air pressure sensor will then measure a higher air pressure during the travel of the elevator car when the elevator car moves in the direction of the side on which the air pressure sensor is attached and a lower air pressure when it moves in the opposite direction.
  • the air pressure sensor can be used to measure hydrostatic pressure when installed on the elevator car. From the value measured in this way, for example, using the barometric altitude formula or a simple approximation thereof using the difference between two measured air pressures, for example an air pressure before the journey and an air pressure After the journey, the direction of movement of the journey can be derived.
  • the air pressure sensor can also be attached to a counterweight of the elevator system.
  • a second, static air pressure sensor is used, which can be used to calibrate the first air pressure sensor.
  • the second air pressure sensor can be located in the elevator shaft, for example. Using suitable methods, for example subtracting the measured value of the first air pressure sensor from the measured value of the second air pressure sensor, external influences such as weather-related air pressure fluctuations or temperature influences can be compensated for.
  • the sensor system comprises one or more position sensors for determining the position of the elevator car.
  • the position sensor can be designed so that it determines the absolute position of the elevator car in the shaft.
  • the position sensor can also be designed so that it detects the position of the elevator car in relation to another component of the elevator system.
  • the position sensor can detect the position of the elevator car indirectly by detecting the position of another part of the elevator system, such as a counterweight.
  • suitable position, distance and speed sensors magnetic tape sensor, pulse generator and counter, (laser) interferometer, (laser) transit time measurement, (laser) phase modulation, (laser) Triangulation, luminous flux sensor, radar, ultrasonic range finder, Ultrasonic speed sensor, rotation encoder on the traction sheave, etc.
  • Positions can also be determined while driving.
  • the sensor system includes one or more acceleration sensors.
  • the acceleration sensor can be attached to all positions of the elevator system that experience an acceleration force when starting and braking the elevator car, in particular the elevator car or the counterweight as well as the traction sheave, the suspension element, the deflection roller or other parts of the elevator system that move during operation.
  • the movement direction parameter can be derived from the signal from the acceleration sensor by determining whether the acceleration force acting on the sensor is smaller or larger than the acceleration due to gravity. For example, if the sensor is installed in or on the elevator car and the signal from the acceleration sensor corresponds to an acceleration force that is lower than that of the gravitational acceleration when the elevator car starts up, it can be concluded from the movement direction parameter measured by the acceleration sensor that the elevator car is moving downwards . Likewise, the movement direction parameter when starting up the elevator car will correspond to a higher acceleration if it is moved upwards. The effects naturally reverse when the acceleration sensor is installed on the counterweight.
  • the signal from the acceleration sensor is evaluated using evaluation methods that increase the signal-to-noise ratio of the sensor.
  • the evaluation method can be integrated in the sensor or in the logic unit. For example, a longer, eg 30 seconds - 5 minutes, moving time average of the sensor value can be formed in order to obtain a base value. For example, a further, shorter sliding means can be formed, the duration of which corresponds approximately to the acceleration time of the elevator car in normal operation.
  • a movement direction characteristic can be obtained when the longer moving average is compared with the shorter moving average, e.g. a movement can then be inferred and a movement direction characteristic can be obtained if the longer moving average exceeds the shorter moving average by more than a predetermined value exceeds or falls below.

  • the embodiment is based on the fact that the direction of rotation of the drive machine correlates with the direction of movement of the elevator car.
  • the sensors for determining the orientation of the rotating field can be sensors of the first sensor system for determining the performance parameter. Individual or all sensors of the first sensor system for determining the power parameter can therefore also be sensors of the second sensor system for determining the movement direction parameter.
  • the sensor system for determining the movement direction parameter based on the orientation of the rotating field can be designed as a simple rotating field measuring device and typically includes a voltage measurement of three phases at suitable locations on the electrical conductors that connect the drive machine to the energy supply system. Other arrangements are also conceivable, depending on the design of the drive machine or the energy supply system.
  • the elevator system includes a counterweight.
  • the counterweight serves, among other things, to reduce the force required to transport a fully loaded elevator car and thus make it possible to use a smaller drive machine.
  • the counterweight is typically dimensioned so that an empty elevator car and an elevator car loaded with the maximum load require the same force for transport. Typically, this means that with a half-loaded cabin, only a minimum of force and therefore performance is required. In this case we speak of a 50% compensation. Differently sized counterweights can also be used. A compensation of 10% to 90% of the maximum load is conceivable. For example Counterweights can be designed to compensate for around 30% of the maximum load. In some embodiments, the elevator system does not include a counterweight.
  • a counterweight means that it cannot be concluded from the power of the drive machine alone whether a predominantly empty cabin is being transported downwards or a predominantly full cabin is being transported upwards, since the same energy has to be used in both cases.

  • the method subsequently determines the power of the drive machine from the performance parameter and the direction of movement of the elevator car from the movement direction parameter. The method then determines the load of the elevator car based on the power and the direction of movement.
  • the performance parameter of the drive machine is determined by the first sensor system when the power consumption of the machine has reached a stable value during operation (in steady-state operation).
  • This performance parameter is indicative of the power consumption of the drive machine (e.g. in steady-state operation), ie indicates the power and/or allows the power to be determined using a unique function (e.g. by multiplying by a constant, applying another function, and /or access to those stored in a table Values).

  • the elevator system 100 includes a further second sensor system 141 for measuring a movement direction parameter of the elevator car 110, which is placed near the drive machine 120, for example near the traction sheave 105, and the movement direction parameter based on properties of the drive system during operation, e.g. the direction of rotation of the traction sheave 105 is determined.
  • the elevator system 100 includes a further second sensor system 142 for measuring a movement direction parameter of the elevator car 110, which is placed on the counterweight 102.
  • values such as those measured by the second sensor system 140 can also be determined by the second sensor system 142, with a value generally being obtained that correlates with the opposite of the direction of movement that the elevator car 110 is performing.
  • the elevator system 100 includes a further second sensor system 143 for measuring a movement direction parameter of the elevator car 110, which is placed at the bottom of the elevator shaft 101.
  • the second sensor system 143 can also be attached to the ceiling of the shaft 101 or to one of the side walls.
  • the sensor system 143 is set up to determine the distance of the elevator car 110 or the counterweight 102 in relation to the sensor system.
  • the sensor system 143 can also be set up to detect the direction of movement of the elevator car 110 or counterweight 102 during operation.
  • the second sensor system 140-143 also provides the movement direction parameter to the logic unit 150 (dashed line).
  • the logic unit 150 determines the load of the elevator car from the performance characteristic of the first sensor system 130, 131 and the movement direction characteristic of the second sensor system 140-143. For this purpose, the power of the drive system 120 and the direction of movement of the elevator car 110 are typically first determined as an intermediate step.
  • the logic unit is housed in the engine room and its dimensions can correspond, for example, to an expansion module in the nano-ITX form factor.
  • Fig. 2a serves to illustrate the exemplary graphical relationship between power P, direction of movement, load compensation L A and load L.
  • the power of the drive machine P was plotted against the load L, expressed as part of the maximum load. An approximately linear relationship is assumed.
  • the speed of the elevator car is always the same during operation.
  • the load compensation corresponds to 50% of the maximum load of the elevator car. It can be seen that at the point of ideal compensation, i.e. at 50% of the maximum load, the energy required to transport the elevator car becomes minimal (P min ). It can also be seen that the required maximum power decreases by 50% compared to a 0 compensation, so the drive machine can be dimensioned smaller. Furthermore, it can be seen that in the range of 0 - 50% of the maximum load, energy is released when the elevator car moves upwards; energy only has to be used in the range of 50 - 100% load. The exact opposite is true when shutting down. Since the dead weight of the elevator car is also compensated, P min and - P min are also smaller in this case than in the case without compensation.
  • any load balancing values can be described by two load sections, one of the sections being a system without load balancing, and the second section being a system with 50% load balancing in the load range 0% to 2 L A (in the case from 0% ⁇ L A ⁇ 50%) or 50% to 2.(1 - L A ) (in the case of 50% ⁇ L A ⁇ 100%) can be approximated, where L A corresponds to the balanced load.
  • a performance parameter is measured which is indicative of the performance of the drive machine.
  • the performance parameter can be provided by the first sensor system 130, 131.
  • the performance of the drive machine is determined from the performance parameter.
  • the specific power includes information about whether the power is a driving power or a braking power. For example, braking power is expressed with a negative sign.
  • a measurement of the movement direction parameter of the elevator car takes place in step 202.
  • the movement direction parameter can be provided by the second sensor system 140-143.
  • the direction of movement of the elevator car is determined from the movement direction parameter. Steps 202 and 212 can be omitted if the load on the elevator car can be clearly determined from the power of the drive machine.
  • step 220 the result values from steps 211 and 212 are calculated using a method based on the in connection with Fig. 2a The model described works, the load of the elevator car is determined.
  • the elevator system 100 is a passenger elevator with 1:1 suspension and a counterweight with 50% compensation.
  • the drive takes place with a gearless drive system 120, which includes a permanent magnet synchronous motor.
  • the drive system is powered by a frequency converter as a supply system 121.
  • the drive system 120 brakes mechanically and additionally electrically by dissipating the resulting electrical energy from the motor via a resistance network that is part of the supply system 121.
  • the second sensor system is an ultrasonic sensor 143, which provides a movement direction parameter by measuring the frequency shift of the reflection due to the Doppler effect, and an acceleration sensor 142 on the counterweight 102.
  • the sensor system 130 and the sensor system 142, 143 are connected to the logic unit 150 via a WLAN connection.
  • the logic unit is housed in the engine room.
  • the logic unit 150 evaluates the following parameters according to method 200:
  • the performance parameter contains the current of a conductor of the electrical conductors 123 during operation. From the performance parameter, it is calculated using a map that the drive machine 120 is operated as a motor with an output of 20 kW.
  • the frequency of the reflected ultrasound signal is determined from the movement direction parameter using a Fourier transformation and, through comparison with the higher-frequency original signal, it is determined that the elevator car is moving away from the sensor, i.e. upwards.
  • the logic unit 150 evaluates the following parameters according to method 200:
  • the performance parameter contains both current and voltage of a conductor of the electrical conductors 122 during operation in a time-resolved manner.
  • the phase shift it is determined from the parameters that the drive machine 120 works as a generator and delivers a braking power of 5 kW to the energy supply system 121. Since this is braking power, the value is determined as - 5 kW.
