Definitions

  • the invention relates to a car and an elevator system.
  • Elevator installations are known from the prior art, the shafts of which can be supplied with fresh air via an electrically controllable ventilation device, or in which, in the event of a fire, smoke can be extracted via these ventilation devices.
  • Ventilation devices are in EP 2 762 797 A1 described and show ventilation and smoke extraction hoods that are placed on a roof opening and have a controllable ventilation flap. Depending on whether ventilation is required, the flap can be opened or closed again via control electronics.
  • a demand-controlled ventilation of elevator systems in which sensors are used to check whether ventilation is necessary or not, is in the EP 1 890 956 B1 disclosed, wherein depending on predetermined information such as the presence of people in the elevator car or the movement thereof, the ventilation flap is opened or closed in order to be able to provide sufficient fresh air for passengers located in the elevator car.
  • the air reaches the elevator system or the car there untreated.
  • a first embodiment of the elevator car according to the invention is designed for the vertical transport of people and animals.
  • the elevator car has a ventilation device which is arranged on an outside of the elevator car or in the elevator car.
  • the ventilation device comprises one or more air cleaning device(s), which is or are fluidically connected to an interior of the car via air ducts.
  • the ventilation device has at least one sensor for determining air parameters.
  • the device according to the invention makes it possible to do justice to the further protection of people and animals in a car from exposure to germs, viruses, volatile organic compounds (so-called "Volatile Organic Compounds", VOC for short):
  • the ventilation device allows ventilation of the car, i.e. H., a guided air exchange of the air volume in the cabin, and at the same time a cleaning of the air from harmful substances.
  • the air parameters that determine the quality and properties of air are continuously monitored, i. H. are recorded and determined with suitable sensors (see below) in order to be able to carry out ventilation and simultaneous air purification depending on what is recorded or the measured values.
  • the air exchange can be between the air inside the car and the air volume in a surrounding elevator shaft or the air space surrounding the car.
  • the elevator car has a control unit for controlling the air cleaning device and thus the ventilation device.
  • the control unit is electronically connected to the sensor and controls the air cleaning device on the basis of the recorded air parameters.
  • the air purification can be switched on and off in a parameter-controlled manner, since the control unit can continuously monitor the air parameters that are detected by the sensors in the air purification device.
  • the air purification can also be switched on permanently or switched on or off in a time-controlled manner.
  • the control unit can also switch off the ventilation device.
  • the ventilation and air cleaning can be controlled on the basis of certain measured values or other parameters such as the time of day or times when the car is known to be little used. The same applies not only to the air cleaning device alone, but also to the ventilation device as a whole.
  • the air cleaning device has one or more fans, wherein the fan or fans can allow air to flow with a predetermined gas volume flow.
  • the fan then ensures that the air is guided through the air ducts, whereby the air can be sucked in by the fan or blown away by it, depending on the direction of rotation and the installation situation of the fan in the ventilation device.
  • the air cleaning device has at least one air cleaning unit.
  • These can be one or more particle filters, a UV lamp, an activated carbon filter or an ozone generator.
  • the particle filter can be a fabric or metal filter;
  • HEPA filters highly efficient particle filters
  • Activated carbon filters are also particularly suitable for filtering out and eliminating viruses, bacteria, odours, dust particles, volatile organic compounds (VOC) from the car air or air supplied from outside the car; which also eliminates odors.
  • Viruses, fungi and bacteria can preferably be killed easily and efficiently by means of UV lamps or UV LEDs (especially UV-C lamps).
  • other suitable cleaning equipment such.
  • a so-called plasma device can be used.
  • the air cleaning device can be designed to pretreat air fed into the elevator car or to prepare it with regard to moisture, aroma or temperature.
  • the air purification device can have one or more humidification units or an air treatment unit.
  • the air supplied into the car may be infused with fragrant substances such as natural flavorings (e.g., lavender, mint, or orange) to give the air a pleasant scent and make the ride in the car comfortable for passengers.
  • the elevator car In normal operation, the elevator car is connected to the power supply of an elevator system that interacts with the elevator car. In the event of a fault in the elevator system and an interruption in the power supply, etc. of the car, the power failure of the supply voltage is buffered with a power supply unit including a battery unit and operation of the ventilation unit is ensured.
  • the ventilation device includes an emergency power supply unit that has accumulators (energy storage) for supplying the ventilation device.
  • the electrical emergency supply energy can also be stored by other suitable energy storage devices (e.g. power capacitors, generators, etc.).
  • the emergency power supply unit can have a power supply unit and charging electronics for charging the accumulators.
  • the power pack can be connected to a power supply of the elevator car. This emergency power supply unit makes it possible to ventilate the car as required in all possible operating states of the elevator system (e.g. when ready for operation, malfunction, defect, etc.) and at the same time to clean the supplied or circulated air.
  • the air cleaning device is fluidically connected to an air space outside the elevator car via air ducts.
  • air ducts can be equipped with suitable flaps or inlet valves so that the elevator car can be separated from the ambient air, for example in the event of a fire or if the ambient air is contaminated with other pollutants. If the air ducts have flaps for closing the openings, it is true that the leaking of the cabin cannot prevent air from entering the outside. However, by switching off the ventilation and closing the flaps, it is possible to prevent even more contaminated air from being blown into the cabin.
  • Suitable flaps are, for example, lamellar flaps, which close either by gravity when the air flow is switched off, or can be closed in an electrically controlled manner.
  • the air parameters which can be detected by the sensor according to the invention can be a gas concentration, the air temperature, an air humidity and/or a particle concentration.
  • Gas concentration refers to various gases, such as B. CO 2 or CO.
  • Particle concentration refers to VOC, soot or dust particles or other volatile substances that are in the air. Explicitly excluded from this are the parameters that are used to record people and to record movement of the car; accordingly, there are no sensors that serve this purpose or are trained to do so.
  • VOC sensors In addition to VOC sensors, optical gas sensors, semiconductor sensors, infrared sensors, radiation sensors, but also other sensors, such as e.g. B. multi-axis sensors, scanners and sensors for measuring known physical variables.
  • sensors such as e.g. B. multi-axis sensors, scanners and sensors for measuring known physical variables.
  • Another sensor can be provided, which is designed as a smoke detector.
  • This smoke detector is arranged directly in an air duct of the ventilation device or on the outside of the car, with which air is supplied from outside the car into its interior and checks the incoming air for smoke gases or smoke particles.
  • this fire detection sensor smoke detector
  • a message is sent to the control unit.
  • the ventilation device is switched off and no more air is brought into the car from outside, as this air is contaminated with fire gases.
  • This fire or smoke alarm can also be triggered by an external system (e.g. smoke and heat extraction systems (RWA), fire alarm systems (BMA), smoke protection pressure systems (RDA), etc.) outside the car in the shaft or in the Building is present, take place, wherein an alarm signal can be transmitted directly to the control unit.
  • RWA smoke and heat extraction systems
  • BMA fire alarm systems
  • RDA smoke protection pressure systems
  • the control unit is designed to activate, control and regulate the ventilation and cleaning of the air in the elevator car as required.
  • a continuous monitoring of the air parameters by the control unit is necessary for a demand-oriented ventilation.
  • the control unit continuously receives measured values from the sensors, which continuously record the air parameters mentioned, and based on a comparison of the currently recorded measured values with previously defined limit values of these measured values, decides whether ventilation is necessary or not. If it is determined that ventilation is required because a limit value is exceeded, e.g. B. too high a CO 2 concentration inside the car, the control unit activates the ventilation device.
  • the control unit also switches off the ventilation device if the smoke detector, which is arranged in one of the air ducts, detects smoke gases.
  • Air can be sucked in from outside the cabin, cleaned by the air cleaning device and fed into the cabin.
  • the used air is sucked out of the elevator car and either passed through the air cleaning device as well or conveyed to the outside directly through ventilation slits or non-airtight slits in the elevator car door due to a higher internal pressure. This is ventilation and not just circulation.
  • a second air cleaning chamber can be provided, in which the air from the elevator car is collected, possibly cleaned and then discharged into the ambient air around the elevator car.
  • the limit values stored in the control unit can be set directly on the control unit according to the applicable (legal) specifications, e.g. manually via an operating display, via a wired connection to a mobile computer or wirelessly via local radio or W-LAN.
  • the control unit can also be connected to an external system, for example a control of an elevator installation, for which purpose it has suitable interfaces (inputs and outputs (potential-free and/or via a data bus)).
  • the ventilation device can have a cooling unit or a heating unit in order not only to clean the air in the elevator car, but also to cool or heat it (air conditioning).
