Definitions
- Elevator method for controlling an elevator
- the present invention relates to an elevator, in particular an elevator with a safety control system, and a method for controlling an elevator.
- Elevators are generally used to transport people or objects in a vertical direction.
- Safety control systems are used to avoid endangering persons or objects. These monitor, for example, with the help of sensors, that is, for example, using data or signals from sensors, current operating states of the elevator.
- the safety control system can address actuators which are intended to bring the elevator system into a safe state.
- the safety brake is such an actuator, for example.
- the safety control system monitors a speed of the elevator. If an unsafe condition is detected, the safety control system activates certain actuators. For example, a safety gear for braking the elevator car is activated.
- the security control system also ensures that no further calls are served. The highest demands are placed on the safety control system in terms of reliability and safety.
- Elevators are known in the prior art which include a central safety control system. These central safety control systems are connected to a variety of sensors and actuators located at various positions within the elevator. If an unsafe operating state of the elevator is determined by the central safety control system, in particular by the sensors which are connected to this central safety control system, the central safety control system controls one or more activatable actuators in a suitable manner to put the elevator into a safe state attributed. For example, when an open shaft door is detected, the car is prevented from moving in the elevator shaft. This can happen, for example, by triggering the safety brake actuator. In such a system, signals from the sensors distributed in the elevator shaft are transmitted unprocessed to the central safety control system, which alone, i.e. exclusively, processes and interprets the data in order to then address the actuators directly.
- a disadvantage of such a central security control system is that the signal propagation times can become very long. This is particularly the case for elevators with a large number of floors. But even in the case of elevators with only a few floors, the central architecture can cause a delay in the transmission of data from the sensors and in the intervention of the actuators. This is further exacerbated by the load on the central safety control system with a large number of monitoring functions, since the computing capacity of the central safety control system is limited. This can lead to reaction delays in the elevator. This in turn affects the safety of the elevator.
- EP 2 022 742 A1 discloses an elevator with a decentralized safety control system.
- the decentralized safety control system has a number of safety control units, the safety control units being connected to one another via a bus connection.
- US 2011/302466 A1 discloses an elevator with a safety control system that includes a master unit and multiple slave units.
- the slave units are respectively connected to sensors and switches, transmitting signals from these sensors and switches to the master unit.
- the master unit processes the data and, if necessary, addresses actuators in order to bring the elevator into a safe state.
- a disadvantage of the known security control systems is that by the Architecture of the system delays arise. In this way, the reaction of the lift to unsafe conditions is unnecessarily delayed.
- the object is achieved by an elevator and by a method for monitoring an elevator according to the independent claims.
- the elevator comprises a shaft, a car which can be moved in the shaft, a drive which is operatively connected to the car and by means of which the car can be moved, a brake, a plurality of shaft doors and a safety control system.
- the safety control system comprises a first type safe safety control unit and at least one second type safe safety control unit.
- the safety control unit of the first type and the at least one safety control unit of the second type are connected to one another.
- the at least one safety control unit of the second type is designed in such a way that it can be used to determine the state of each of the shaft doors.
- the safety control system is designed in such a way that the state of the shaft doors can be determined directly and exclusively by the at least one safety control unit of the second type.
- the presence of two separate, secure safety control units, the clear assignment of the shaft doors to the at least one safety control unit of the second type and the exclusive direct recording of the status of the shaft doors by the at least one safety control unit of the second type specifically identify the safety control units for the survey assignment assigned to them can be executed.
- the determination of the state of the shaft doors is relevant to safety, since people in the vicinity of the shaft are endangered when the shaft door is open. Furthermore, when the shaft door is open, movement of the car should be prevented or at least restricted.
- a safety control unit is made available according to the invention, which is designed for this task. It is also important that all landing doors are monitored.
- the at least one safety control unit of the second type is designed to be safe, so that it is ensured that the determination of the state of the shaft doors is reliable.
- the safety control system can thus leave the monitoring of the state of the landing doors exclusively to the safety control unit of the second type and can be sure that this safety control unit will carry out the monitoring reliably.
- a final and safely recorded state of the shaft doors i.e. a simple "door(s) closed / door(s) not closed” can then be transmitted in the safety control system via the connection to other units, in particular to the safe safety control unit of the first type.
- the monitoring of each of the shaft doors by the at least one safety control unit of the second type makes it possible to design the safety control unit of the first type and possibly another safety control unit free of door monitoring-specific requirements. This allows a simple, efficient and safe safety control system to be provided.
- a safety control unit which, for example, meets the standardized safety integrity level 1 (Safety Integrity Level, SIL 1), preferably SIL2 and particularly preferably SIL3 according to IEC61508 and/or EN8120 and/or EN8150, can be regarded as safe.
- SIL 1 Safety Integrity Level 1
- SIL2 SIL2 and particularly preferably SIL3 according to IEC61508 and/or EN8120 and/or EN8150
- a state is to be understood above and below as a position of the landing doors existing at a certain point in time.
- the state of the landing door to be closed or not closed, i.e. open.
- the safety control unit of the second type directly and exclusively records the status of the shaft door, this does not rule out the possibility that the safety control unit of the second type forwards information based on this recorded status within the safety control system, for example to the safe control unit of the first type.
- the exclusive and direct collection means that the evaluation of the sensor signal(s) and the derivation of the status from the signal(s) takes place exclusively through and in the safety control unit of the second type. This means that the safety control unit of the second type finally detects this state without the aid of another safety control unit of a different type.
- the safety control system comprises one safe safety control unit of the second type per landing door.
- the safety control units of the second type are preferably attached to the landing doors.
- a safety control unit of the second type is attached to each of the landing doors.
- each of the shaft doors to have a safety control unit of the second type which is specifically provided for this shaft door.
- the safety control unit of the second type can thus be configured in a comparatively simple manner since it only has to monitor one shaft door.
- the safety control unit of the second type is preferably arranged at the shaft door, as a result of which the safety control unit of the second type is directly at the shaft door and delays caused by the transmission of signals can thus be further reduced. Since the safety control unit of the second type is a safe safety control unit, the connection to at least some of the sensors and/or actuators, in particular a door lock sensor and door lock actuator, must be made safe. By arranging it directly at the relevant shaft door, there is no need to make connections over long distances.
- a connection which, for example, meets the standardized safety integrity level 1 (Safety Integrity Level, SIL1), preferably SIL2 and particularly preferably SIL3 according to IEC 61508 and/or EN81-20 and/or EN81-50 can be regarded as secure.
- SIL1 Safety Integrity Level 1
- the safety control unit can be arranged in a box above the shaft door leaf, in which the door leaf can also be moved. This box can be arranged outside the shaft and/or inside the shaft.
- the security control unit can also be mounted in a door post.
- the safe safety control units are designed in such a way that at least one actuator assigned to them can be controlled by them.
- the respective actuator can preferably be controlled directly and exclusively by this safety control unit.
- the two components can be coordinated in their execution.
- the safety control unit can be matched to the type of actuator with regard to the computing speed, ie the evaluation speed. So the safety control unit of the second type with a different evaluation speed, for example a lower evaluation speed and accordingly also with a different sensor readout rate, for example be performed at a lower read rate than, for example, the safety control unit of the first type.
- the safety control unit of the second type can be designed for the processes at the shaft door without having to be designed for processes involving the safety-relevant braking of the car at the same time.
- the safety control unit of the first type can be designed exclusively for the evaluation required for emergency braking (recovery). In this way, an inexpensive yet safe safety control system can be formed with different safety control units tailored to their purpose.
- an actuator is to be understood as a component through which the physical state of the elevator can be changed (or maintained against other influences).
- the brake in particular also the safety brake, as well as the drive, in particular also door drives, and door lock are actuators.
- An actuator that is controlled directly and exclusively by a safety control unit means above and below that the specific control with the required signals and energy for changing the state of the actuator takes place exclusively through the respectively assigned safety control unit. This does not prevent the safety control unit assigned to the actuator receiving the abstract, indirect command from another safety control unit to change the state. So that the safety control unit can directly and exclusively control the associated actuator, the sensors required for this purpose, which make it possible to ascertain the state of the actuator, are connected to the safety control unit.
- the safety control unit thus enables the implementation of a self-contained control loop of the actuator without having to resort to remote signals and/or evaluation capacity or information from other safety control units.
- each shaft door comprises a secure door lock and/or an active door drive as an actuator.
- the security control system is designed so that the door locks and / or the door drives can be directly controlled exclusively by the at least one safety control unit of the second type.
- a door lock blocks opening of the shaft door in a first state and does not block this in a second state, that is to say it enables the door to be opened.
- the door lock designed in such a way that the state in which the door lock blocks the opening of the door can only be assumed if the door or the door leaves are/are also in a blockable state (in other words, the door lock is «fail- safe” and can therefore be described as safe), simply by monitoring the two states “blocked” or “not blocked” of the door lock, it can be concluded whether the landing door is closed and blocked or open (not closed) and unblocked is.
- a safe safety control unit of the second type assigned to the door lock can thus be provided, which can determine a safe state of the elevator in relation to the shaft door directly and exclusively, ie without additional sensors or actuators.
- the door lock can be designed as a bolt that can be held in place by an electromagnet.
- the bolt can preferably only move to a closed state using gravity when the door leaves are closed and the electromagnet is de-energized. This means that the door leaves block the bolt from falling down due to gravity as long as the doors are not locked.
- a fail-safe door lock can be implemented, from which the state of the shaft doors can be determined easily and safely.
- the shaft door can also be provided with an active drive.
- the combination of safe safety control unit and active drive which can be controlled directly and exclusively by the safe safety control unit, also enables the state of the landing door to be checked locally, i.e. exclusively by the two components (safety control unit/drive) and, if necessary, sensors connected to the safety control unit. for example sensors for detecting the position of the door leaf (or the position of the locking bolt).
- the combination safety control unit and active door drive can thus raise the critical status of open shaft doors.
- the control system can thus ensure, by querying the door status in the safety control unit of the second type, that the car is only moved in the shaft when a safe status is present.
- the advantage of a door lock and/or an active drive as described above and below is that there are no unexpected door opening movements.
- An elevator can be built in which the landing door is controlled exclusively (i.e. unexpected opening of a landing door by a service technician with a triangular key, as is provided in many elevator systems) by the safe safety control unit of the second type.
- Unexpected opening for example by a fitter, does not have to be taken into account when designing the safety control system. In particular, this reduces the speed requirements for the safety control system with regard to readout and evaluation speed. In this way, sensors can only be queried after a status change requested by the system. This eliminates the need for a quick survey of the state of the shaft doors designed to detect unforeseeable events.
- the fail-safe design of the communication makes it possible for the connection between the safety control unit of the second type and the safety control unit of the first type to be designed as a simple, insecure wireless connection. This makes it possible to easily and inexpensively integrate the safety control unit of the second type, which is preferably present on each shaft door, into the safety control system.
- An insecure connection is a connection that does not meet a standardized safety integrity level (Safety Integrity Level) or possibly a lower safety integrity level (Safety Integrity Level) than the relevant standard, e.g. EN61508 and/or EN8120 and/or EN8150 stipulates are met.
- a so-called "black channel" communication is implemented in which two secure units via an insecure connection to communicate securely with each other.
- the condition detected by the safety control unit of the second type is a condition of the door lock and/or the door drive.
- the status signals a closed or not closed shaft door.
- the receiving safety control unit can indicate non-receipt of this status information as a “door not closed ’ or, to put it another way, rate it as an unsafe condition. This eliminates the need to carry out this communication safely, since the status to be transmitted enables transmission in a "fail-safe” manner. In this way, the need for secure communication is limited to the safety-relevant actuators and sensors, which are installed in the secure safety control unit of the second type itself.
- the safety control system is designed such that the brake can be directly controlled exclusively by the safety control unit of the first type, with the safety control unit of the first type and the brake preferably being arranged on the car.
- the safety control unit of the first type must be designed to meet the requirement for safe braking of the elevator car. Due to the preferred arrangement of the safety control unit of the first type in physical proximity to the brake, reaction delays due to transmission delays are minimized.
- the safety control unit of the second type is designed in such a way that the safety control unit of the second type sends a signal to check the communication at regular intervals sends to the safety control unit of the first type.
- This interval is, for example, greater than 1 s, preferably greater than 30 s, and particularly preferably greater than 1 minute.
- the regular transmission of a signal to check the communication between the safety control unit of the second type and the safety control unit of the first type can ensure that the safety control unit of the first type, i.e. the receiver unit of the status information, is informed at regular intervals that the Communication between the two units still works.
- the safety control unit of the first type know that the communication is working and also that the safety control unit of the second type has recently sent status information on the safe state of the shaft door, the elevator has not initiated a state change of the shaft doors and that unexpected state changes of the shaft doors are not possible, the safety control unit of the first type can thus reliably conclude that the elevator is in a safe state in the area of the shaft doors. Details on the state of the door, ie sensor information from the sensors around the door, are not necessary in the safety control unit of the first type.
- the safety control system comprises at least one safety control unit of a third type.
- the third type of safety control unit enables safe torque-off of the drive.
- the first type safety control unit and the third type safety control unit are connected to each other.
- the safety control unit of the third type enables the safety-related function of safely switching off the torque (safe torque off) to be carried out by the actuator drive. It is thus ensured that the safety control unit of this actuator is also designed separately from the other safety control units and can therefore be arranged directly next to or in the immediate vicinity of the drive, if possible Delays due to transmission delays can be further reduced.
- a connection between the safety control units is designed as a wireless and/or cable connection.
- the connection between the safety control unit of the third type and the safety control unit of the first type is implemented as a cable connection.
- the connection between the safety control unit of the first type and the at least one safety control unit of the second type is preferably implemented as a wireless connection, particularly preferably as an insecure wireless connection.
- the signal from the safety control unit of the third type is a binary signal which, in a first state, allows the drive to operate in the normal operating state and which, in a second state, interrupts the connection of the converter to the machine, e.g. by means of electromagnetic contactors which disconnect or through Semiconductor switches that ensure that no more current flows into the machine. Due to the binary nature of this signal, the connection can be made very simply, for example by a two-wire cable connection. In addition, the communication is unidirectional, since the safety control unit of the third type, at least in its simplest embodiment of the safe torque-off, does not send back any confirmation or status information to the safety control unit of the first type.
- the third type security control unit is a stand-alone security control unit which is in bi-directional communication with the first type security control unit.
- the communication can be structured in the same way as the communication between the safety control unit of the first type and the safety control unit of the second type.
- the communication within the safety control system i.e. between the safety control units of the first type and the safety control unit of the second type, is restricted to a minimum and designed in such a way that the communication is fail-safe, i.e. a lack of communication is considered an unsafe condition Is evaluated.
- the requirement for the connection between these safety control units is therefore low.
- the safety control unit of the second type can be arranged at the respective shaft doors and the safety control unit of the first type can be arranged on the car.
- a wireless module can be present in the shaft door, which transmits the status information of the safety control unit of the second type, with a corresponding wireless receiver being present in the safety control unit of the first type, which receives this information.
- a simple and inexpensive connection between the units can be implemented.
- the safety control unit of the first type and/or the safety control unit of the second type includes an insecure interface for connection to sensors and/or actuators.
- the safety control unit of the second type includes an insecure interface for connection to a sensor for detecting the presence of a car door, preferably a magnet sensor, and optionally for connection to a shaft door drive unit for controlling the shaft door movements.
- the safety control unit of the first type includes an insecure interface for connection to position sensors and/or speed and acceleration sensors.
- An insecure interface is an interface that does not meet a standardized safety integrity level (Safety Integrity Level) or possibly a lower safety integrity level (Safety Integrity Level) than the relevant standard, e.g. EN61508 and/or EN8120 and/or EN8150 requires fulfilled, to be looked at.
- a standardized safety integrity level Safety Integrity Level
- a lower safety integrity level Safety Integrity Level
- the sensor for detecting the status of the door lock alone can already meet the required safety requirements with regard to the landing door.
- a sensor that monitors the door movement due to the active drive is not relevant to safety in this case and therefore does not have to be designed to be safe.
- the door movement sensor can be connected to the secure safety control unit of the second type via the insecure interface.
- the safety control unit of the first type and/or the safety control unit of the second type includes a safe interface for connection to sensors and/or actuators.
- the safety control unit of the second type includes a secure interface for connecting a door lock status sensor and an interface for controlling the electromagnet (actuator) of the door lock.
- the safety control unit of the first type includes a safe interface for connecting a sleep rope detector and a load measuring device, as well as a safe interface for controlling the brake and/or the safe torque-off function (in the form of a signal from the safety control unit of the first type for triggering the STO condition (disconnecting the machine from the drive) or a connection to a separate, self-contained third type safe safety controller that implements the STO function).
- An interface which, for example, meets the standardized safety integrity level 1 (Safety Integrity Level, SIL1), preferably SIL2 and particularly preferably SIL3 according to IEC61508 and/or EN8120 and/or EN8150 can be regarded as safe.
- the safe interface enables the connection of the actuators and sensors relevant to the safety status of the elevator, thus enabling the provision of a safe safety control system through the provision of self-contained safe safety control units.
- a method for controlling an elevator preferably as described above and below, also leads to the solution of the task, the method comprising the steps:
- the state of a shaft door is indirectly ascertained via the state of an actuator, that is to say it is assessed.
- the actuator is safe, that is, for example, designed to be fail-safe
- a safe state determination can take place indirectly by determining the state of this safe actuator.
- a fail-safe door lock or an active, safe door drive can be used as an actuator for indirectly ascertaining the safe state.
- An actuator is suitable for indirect monitoring of the state of the object that can be actuated directly or indirectly by the actuator, i.e. that can be controlled by the actuator (in the present case the shaft door), if the actuator includes a safe control and the state to be monitored (e.g. closed /Not closed) of the object to be monitored (e.g. shaft door) can only be changed after/by actuating the actuator.
- the actuator includes a safe control and the state to be monitored (e.g. closed /Not closed) of the object to be monitored (e.g. shaft door) can only be changed after/by actuating the actuator.
- an elevator with a classic door switch which has to detect an unexpected door opening within a very short time at any time, the requirements for the safety control system of the second type, which records the status immediately, are reduced, in particular the monitored status has to be recorded less often.
- the state distinction "closed” and “not closed” can be raised by a sensor, which only determines whether the landing door is in a closed state, whereby in all other cases, including the case in which the sensor fails, a state “not closed” is charged.
- each of the shaft doors has a secure door lock, with the method for controlling the elevator
- the method further comprises the steps:
- the method further comprises the steps: - repeated sending of a signal to check the communication by the safety control unit of the second type to the safety control unit of the first type at a defined time interval,
- this further comprises the step:
