Definitions

  • a floor door could detect when a passenger in the form of a human or a robot is waiting in front of the floor door.
  • the floor door should even be able to determine the type of passenger, ie human or robot, or even characteristics that allow conclusions to be drawn about their identity.
  • Another new application in the future could be to provide elevator systems for receiving and transporting goods.
  • Various problems may arise during delivery For example, there may be no person present at the delivery address who could accept the delivery.
  • For delivery addresses that are located within a high-rise building it may also be necessary for a supplier to travel long distances within the building. It can also be envisaged that deliveries will no longer be made by people but by robots or drones in the future.
  • the problems mentioned are sometimes also referred to as “last mile” challenges.
  • With an automatically controlled door arrangement for example, a supplier in the form of a human or a robot waiting in front of the door arrangement could be recognized and the door leaves could then be opened automatically.
  • Floor door of an elevator system can be used, proposed according to the first aspect of the invention.
  • the door arrangement should also have a data connection via which data can be exchanged between the door arrangement and an external computer.
  • the external computer does not need to be part of the door assembly.
  • the external computer can be, for example, a processor-controlled control of the elevator system.
  • the external computer can be located in the same building as the door assembly.
  • the external computer can also be located outside the building and can, for example, be a data server or part of a data cloud (“cloud”).
  • the sensor system is configured to interact with the people or objects in front of the door leaf.
  • Output information can, for example, provide information about a current state of the door arrangement itself or an elevator system closed by the door arrangement or a room located behind the door arrangement. For example, it can be informed whether the door arrangement is currently locked, whether there is currently a waiting elevator car behind the door arrangement or whether a room behind the door arrangement is free or already occupied.
  • Information entered can contain, for example, information about the waiting passenger or object.
  • the information entered may indicate an authorization of the passenger or item or an identity of the same.
  • the information entered can indicate that the passenger or object wishes to be admitted through the door arrangement and/or wants to be transported to a desired floor using an elevator system that may be located behind it.
  • the sensor system can have a touch-sensitive panel. Such a panel can detect when a person or robot touches it and then generate a signal. The panel can act similarly to a button or switch. If necessary, the panel can detect where it is touched and then generate a position-dependent signal.
  • the sensor system can have a touch-sensitive screen.
  • a touch-sensitive screen can display information visually.
  • the screen can receive information depending on the position.
  • a sensor system in an automatically controlled floor door such a screen can, for example, indicate whether an elevator car is currently waiting behind the floor door, whether the elevator car is empty or already fully occupied, where the elevator car is going next, etc.
  • you can specify, for example that the door arrangement should be opened, where a passenger wants to go with the elevator car and / or which person should be informed about a delivered product stored in the elevator car.
  • the sensor system can have a camera.
  • a camera can record an image of an area surrounding the door arrangement, in particular of an area in front of the door leaf.
  • the camera can then forward the corresponding image signals to the controller.
  • the image signals can be used to determine whether a person or an object is in front of the door leaf.
  • the controller can be configured to process signals from the camera in order to recognize gestures of a person in front of the door leaf.
  • camera signals recorded one after the other can be analyzed to see whether movements can be recognized that can be interpreted as gestures carried out by a person.
  • a passenger can give instructions to the door arrangement in an intuitive manner to transfer. For example, it can be signaled that you want the door to be opened, that you want to call an elevator car, or something similar.
  • the sensor system can be integrated into the door leaf.
  • the sensor system can therefore be integrated into the door arrangement in an elegant and/or practical manner.
  • no additional components such as a door frame or the like need to be provided to accommodate the sensor system.
  • the touch-sensitive panel or screen described above can be integrated directly into the door leaf.
  • the panel or the screen can be attached at a position or at a height at which they can easily be operated manually by a passenger.
  • the camera described above can also be integrated directly into the door leaf.
  • the camera can be recorded near an upper edge of the door leaf in order to be able to get a good overview of the area in front of the door leaf.
  • the door assembly as a floor door of an elevator system may further comprise one or more light emitters that are configured to signal an arrival of an elevator car at the door assembly.
  • the light emitters can be, for example, light emitting diodes (LEDs).
  • the light emitters can preferably be integrated directly into the door leaf. With the help of the light emitters, for example, the arrival of the elevator car at the door arrangement can be signaled in a simple and intuitive manner for a passenger.
  • the light emitter or emitters can be configured to signal a current occupancy status of the elevator car.
  • weight sensors and/or optical sensors can be used to detect whether the elevator car is empty, half occupied or fully occupied.
  • the current occupation status can then be signaled using the light emitters, for example by emitting light of a certain color or by emitting light signals in a certain temporal order.
  • the sensor system and the controller are configured to communicate with each other wirelessly.
  • the sensor system is housed in the door leaf and the control is located outside the door leaf, this can simplify the transmission of signals between these two components. In particular, no electrical line needs to be laid between these two components that are to be moved relative to one another.
  • the door arrangement can be designed to be frameless.
  • a frameless door arrangement can be easy to integrate into a building.
  • the frameless door arrangement also meets high aesthetic standards.
  • An elevator system equipped with an embodiment of the door assembly described herein can utilize the "intelligence" available to the door assembly to accommodate new applications.
  • the external computer can also inform a user, for example a house or apartment owner, about the presence of the person, the robot or the drone via a network so that the latter can instruct whether the door arrangement should be opened.
  • the external computer can forward an image recorded by the camera, which is part of the sensor system, to a smartphone via a network, so that the user of the smartphone can judge based on the image information whether a person waiting in front of the door leaf can enter through the door arrangement or .is authorized to use the elevator system.
  • Fig. 1 shows a door assembly according to an embodiment of the present invention.
  • the door assembly 1 has two door leaves 7, which can be moved in opposite directions in order to be moved between an open and a closed position.
  • the door leaves 7 are moved by a drive 9.
  • the drive 9 is controlled by a controller 11.
  • the door arrangement 1 also has a sensor system 13, with the help of which people 23 or objects 25 such as robots in front of the door leaves 7 can be detected and, if necessary, interacted with.
  • the sensor system 13 includes a touch-sensitive panel 15 and a camera 17. Both the touch-sensitive panel 15 and the camera 17 are integrated into one of the door leaves 7.
  • the sensor system 13 or its touch-sensitive panel 15 and its camera 17 can exchange signals with the controller 11, preferably via a wireless connection (as shown by dash-dotted lines in the figure).
  • the door arrangement 1 also has a plurality of light emitters 27, for example in the form of LEDs, which are also integrated into one or both of the door leaves 7.
  • the light emitters 27 are arranged equidistant from one another along a vertical line parallel to the outer edges of the door leaves 7.
  • the light emitters 27 can be used to signal the current state of the door assembly 1 or the elevator system 3 closed by the door assembly 1. For example, an occupancy status of an elevator car waiting behind the door arrangement 1 can be visualized.
  • the controller 11 can send query data to the external computer 21 via the data connection 19 based on this.
  • the external computer 21 can further process this query data. For example, the external computer 21 can determine whether the person 23 or the robot should be authorized to open the door arrangement 1 by comparing it with data in a database accessible to it. If necessary, the external computer 21 can contact another computer or a system administrator, for example via a network, in order to clarify whether the door arrangement 1 can be opened to the person 23 or the robot.
  • the external computer 21 can then send corresponding instruction data back to the door arrangement 1, in particular to its controller 11, via the data connection 19. Finally, the controller 11 can then control the drive 9 according to the instruction data to open or close the door leaves 7.
  • the door arrangement 1 enables new fields of application such as monitorable, automated and, if possible, stepless access to buildings, for example for robots, or acceptance and storage of delivered goods through the door arrangement 1.
