- this hardware must be able to cope with the high electrical power to be regulated by the power supply and be able to reliably interrupt it temporarily if necessary
- the safety torque cut-off device described herein is used to cause the power supply device, for example an inverter device, to temporarily not forward any electrical power to a drive machine connected to it, although the power supply device itself is uninterrupted by a
- Main power source can be supplied with electrical power.
- the safety torque shut-off device is configured to interact with a driver circuit which controls power switches in the power supply device.
- the driver circuit can be part of an inverter which, in addition to the driver circuit, also includes the one to be controlled by it
- Power supply device with the power switches and possibly further electronics can include.
- a driver circuit generally serves to control the function of the power switches in the power supply device as a function of signals applied to the driver circuit.
- the signals are generally generated by a signal generating device such as a digital signal processor (DSP) in an inverter control and applied to signal inputs of the driver circuit.
- DSP digital signal processor
- the driver circuit can then switch power switches such as several IGBTs
- Bipolar transistor with insulated gate electrode (English: insulated-gate bipolar transistor, IGBT for short)) in the power supply device to cause it to pass on at least part of the electrical power made available by the main power source to the drive machine of the elevator system .
- the safety torque cut-off device proposed herein is connected between the signal generator device and the driver circuit of the power supply device.
- the safety torque shut-off device serves to forward the signals generated by the signal generator device to the driver circuit.
- the safety torque shut-off device is additionally configured to be able to temporarily and reliably interrupt a forwarding of signals generated by the signal generator device to the driver circuit in a controllable manner.
- the safety torque shut-off device has at least one control input and a plurality of signal input connections and signal output connections, referred to herein as a second plurality.
- the second plurality is the same size or greater than the first plurality of
- Safety torque shut-off device at least as many signal input connections and signal output connections as there is on the signal generating device There are signal outputs. Accordingly, each of the signal outputs of the
- Signal generating device can be connected to one of the signal input connections. Furthermore, each of the signal inputs of the driver circuit can be connected to one of the
- a signal generator device which is designed for example with a digital signal processor, has at least six signal outputs in order to be able to control the three phases with two power switches of a three-phase current used for power supply in the power supply device in the desired manner.
- the safety torque shut-off device is accordingly to be equipped with six or more signal input connections and six or more signal output connections
- Signals present in the signal generator device can thus be passed on from the signal input connections of the safety torque shut-off device connected to them to their signal output connections. From there, the signals are sent to the signal inputs of the driver circuit. In response to the signals received, the driver circuit can in turn control the power switch of the power supply device in a suitable manner to supply electrical power to the power output of the
- a first and a second signal transmission switch are provided in the safety torque shut-off device between each of the signal input connections and the assigned signal output connection. These two signal transmission switches are connected to one another in series. Accordingly, when both signal transmission switches are switched to an electrically conductive switching state, an electrical connection between the respective signal input connection and the associated
- Signal output connection can be established. However, if at least one of these If the signal transmission switch is open, that is to say switched to a non-electrically conductive switching state, an electrical connection between the respective signal input connection and the associated signal output connection is interrupted.
- the first signal transmission switch is controlled by a first control unit and the second signal transmission switch is controlled by a second control unit. Both control units are electrically connected to the control input of the safety torque cut-off device and receive an applied control signal from this, according to which the switching states of the first and second signal transmission switches are then controlled. In this way, a high level of redundancy can be achieved in the safety torque shut-off device and thus the safety with which the safety torque shut-off device prevents the electrical transmission of signals from the signal generator device to the driver circuit if necessary.
- electrically connected means that the connection is electrical, that is to say by means of an electrically conductive current path between the points to be connected.
- An electromagnetic connection such as that produced by a transformer, is not an electrical connection for the purposes of this application.
- the safety torque shut-off device can be configured in such a way that its signal transmission switches are only closed and thus signal transmission from the signal generator device to the driver circuit is only established when a corresponding signal is present at the control input of the safety torque shut-off device.
- a signal can be an electrical voltage different from zero and thus represent a logical “1”. If there is no such signal at the control input, the first control unit should control all of the first signal transmission switches connected to it to open and the second control unit should control all of the second connected to it
- Control signal transmission switch to open. This will make the electrical Connection between the signal input connections and the signal output connections interrupted.
- each of the electrical feed-throughs is opened by opening signal transmission switches is interrupted when there is no signal at the control input of the safety torque cut-off device which explicitly instructs the signal transmission switch to close.
- the safety torque shut-off device with its signal transmission switches and control units should be designed in such a way that, in the absence of a signal which indicates that no interruption of the torque generation by the drive machine is currently to be effected, the transmission of signals from the signal generator device to the driver circuit is automatically interrupted and in this way the power supply is interrupted by the power supply device to the prime mover, so that the prime mover can certainly not generate any torque.
- Signal generating device can be activated, other circuit breakers in the power supply device can be excluded, since the safety torque cut-off device proposed here ensures that in the event of an interruption at least five connections are interrupted and thus at most one of the circuit breakers is still activated by the driver circuit. This is sufficient, since only one IGBT is controlled if there is a remaining connection. The alternator will in this case with the resultant
- each of the signal transmission switches can be designed with a semiconductor switch which is conductive in a normal state, which in the absence of a
- Control voltage at a gate connection causes an electrical connection between the signal input connection assigned to the signal transmission switch and a ground potential and, when the control voltage is applied to the gate connection, interrupts the electrical connection between the signal input connection assigned to the signal transmission switch and a ground potential.
- each of the control units can be configured to apply the control voltage to the gate connections of all signal transmission switches assigned to the respective control unit as a function of the control signal applied to the control input.
- the signal transmission switches of the safety torque cut-off device can be designed as semiconductor switches, for example in the form of MOSFETs, which in their normal state are electrically conductive, ie are normally conductive semiconductor switches.
- Such semiconductor switches typically have three connections, which are often referred to as drain, source and gate.
- a control voltage applied to the gate connection can decide whether or not an electrically conductive connection is established between the drain connection and the source connection. With one that acts electrically conductive in the normal state
- Such a semiconductor switch has an electrical connection between the drain connection and the source connection without applying a control voltage to the gate connection, whereas such an electrical connection is interrupted when a control voltage is applied to the gate connection.
- Such normally conductive semiconductor switches can advantageously be used for the embodiment mentioned, for example by connecting their drain connection to the
- Signal input terminal of the safety torque shut-off device is connected and its source terminal is connected to a ground potential.
- no control voltage is applied to the gate connection and the semiconductor switch is thus electrically conductive, a signal that may be generated by the signal generator device and applied to the signal input connection is inevitably transmitted via the
- a normally conductive semiconductor switch connected in this way acts like one that is normally open, i.e. non-electrically conductive switch. Only when the control voltage is applied to the gate connection of the semiconductor switch is the electrical connection to the ground potential interrupted, so that the signal from the signal generator device that is present at the drain connection is transmitted to the
- Signal output connection of the safety torque shut-off device can be forwarded.
- two normally conductive semiconductor switches connected in series are switched between each of the signal input connections and the associated signal output connection. Even if one of these semiconductor switches is, for example, due to a defect despite missing
- control signal should not establish an electrical connection with the ground potential, such an electrical connection will most likely be effected at least at the second semiconductor switch and, in the absence of a control signal, a derivation of the signal from the signal generating device to the ground potential will be ensured.
- the first control unit is connected to the semiconductor switch, which is the first
- Signal transmission switch serves, connected and delivers its control signal to its gate terminal
- the second control unit is independently connected to the other semiconductor switch, which serves as a second signal transmission switch, and delivers its control signal to its gate terminal.

- both the first control unit and the second control unit can each have an optocoupler.
- Such an optocoupler can have two components which optically communicate with one another.
- a first component can depend on the voltage applied to the control input of the safety torque cut-off device, i.e. by the control signal and, depending on the control signal received, causing the second component to generate the electrical control voltage with which the semiconductor switch at its gate terminal is controlled by optical communication.
- a circuit in which the first component of the optocoupler is integrated is in this case galvanically decoupled from another circuit in which the second component of the optocoupler is received.
- the control signal which is intended to indicate whether torque generation by the prime mover is to be momentarily interrupted or not, cannot undesirably influence the signals generated by the signal generator device and possibly forwarded to the driver circuit of the inverter.
- the optocoupler can have a light source to be activated by the control signal applied to the control input and a photodiode unit that generates the control voltage through illumination by the light source.
- the optocoupler can comprise a light source as the first component, for example in the form of an LED, which when the control signal is sent to the
- Control input of the safety torque switch-off device is applied and thus the control unit containing the optocoupler is reached, activated and thus emits light.
- the optocoupler can then have a photodiode unit which, when it is illuminated, generates an electrical voltage corresponding to the control voltage.
- the light source and the photodiode unit can be positioned relative to one another and coordinated with one another in such a way that the light emitted by the light source when activated is received by the photodiode unit and stimulates it to generate the control voltage required to control the semiconductor switch.
- the above-described photodiode unit can according to a specific
- Embodiment have two photodiodes connected in series.
- Each of the photodiodes can preferably generate only part of the required control voltage. Only through the series connection of the two photodiodes can the total required for controlling the semiconductor switches

In this way, the safety of the entire circuit can be further increased, since the control voltage can only be generated by the optocoupler when the light source has been activated in response to an applied control signal and then both photodiodes due to the the light source received its share of the control voltage for the
- the safety torque shut-off device can preferably be designed with hardware in accordance with a safety integrity level SIL3 and a hardware fault tolerance of at least 1.
- the safety torque shut-off device can be constructed with particularly safe hardware components and these hardware components interact or be interconnected with one another in a particularly safe manner, so that the safety torque shut-off device with a hardware fault tolerance of at least 1 meets the requirements of a safety integrity level SIL3, as defined in the IEC 61508 standard .
- the fulfillment of the safety integrity level SIL3 can be achieved, for example, with the hardware configurations described herein.
- the safety torque switch-off device can also be designed without programmable components.
- SFF Safe Failure Fraction
- the safety torque shut-off device can preferably be equipped or constructed exclusively with components that are not are programmable and which therefore cannot change their functional or physical properties following an adaptable program.
- the safety torque switch-off device can be designed with its hardware in such a way that it can be used for purposes in power supply devices for drive machines in different elevator systems without having to be adapted for a particular application by special software.
- the hardware can be certified once for this purpose. Additional purpose-specific certifications can usually be omitted. In particular, this can reduce the maintenance effort.
- Embodiments of the safety torque shut-off device described herein can be used advantageously in particular in inverter devices according to the second aspect of the invention in order to be able to interrupt a signal transmission between a signal generator device and a power supply device in a controlled manner.
- the signal generator device can be designed as a DSP, which can generate PWM signals (pulse-width-modulated signals) adapted to requirements and transmit them to the driver circuit for controlling the power supply device.
- PWM signals pulse-width-modulated signals
- the power supply device can have an IGBT driver circuit and three upper and three lower IGBTs.
- the IGBTs can be controlled by the IGBT driver circuit, depending on control signals generated by the signal generator device and passed through the safety torque shut-off device, to at least partially forward electrical power present at the power input to the power output in a controlled manner.
- a part of an inverter serving as a power supply device for example, can have two sets of IGBTs, an upper set and a lower set each comprising three IGBTs.
- Each of the IGBTs is controlled by the driver circuit, the driver circuit controlling the IGBTs as a function of the control signals it receives from the signal generating device.
- Embodiments of the safety torque cut-off device described herein or the inverter device equipped with it can be used in an elevator system according to an embodiment of the third aspect of the invention in order to be able to ensure, if necessary, that the drive machine of the elevator system cannot temporarily generate any torque and thus the one driven by the drive machine Elevator cabin cannot be unintentionally shifted. In this way, safety can be increased during the operation of the elevator system.
- an operating state in the elevator system can be monitored with the aid of a so-called safety chain.
- Several door switches can be part of this safety chain, the safety chain only being closed when all door switches are closed.
- a signal to be transmitted through the safety chain when the safety chain is closed can serve as a control signal to the control input of the safety torque cut-off device. Accordingly, the control signal is only present at the control input when the safety chain is closed, i.e. when all door switches and the associated elevator doors are closed. Only in this case can the drive machine of the elevator system be supplied with power.
- the control signal at the control input of the safety torque switch-off device is omitted, whereupon this reliably prevents the torque generation by the drive machine of the elevator system. This ensures that the elevator car cannot be moved by the drive machine as long as at least one of the elevator doors is not completely closed.

- Such electronic circuits can be advantageous in terms of lower cost, lower noise and / or higher reliability than conventional switches, relays or contactors.
- a safety torque shut-off device 15 is connected between the signal generator device 17 and the power supply device 13, with the aid of which torque generation of the drive machine 9 supplied by the power supply device 13 can be reliably interrupted.
- the signal generator device 17 and the safety torque shut-off device 15 are jointly part of an inverter control 19.

In this case, any electrical voltage signal that may be present at the respective signal input terminal 35 is sent via the semiconductor switch 47 to the
- Ground potential 51 is derived and therefore cannot be passed on to the signal output connection 37 electrically connected to the signal input connection 35.
