Description

112061 ADJUSTMENT OF LIFT SPEED AND ACCELERATION

The invention relates to an elevator call and signaling system, wherein the passenger-operated keyboard or the floor-level signaling panel has a speed control knob as defined in the preamble of claim 1.

It is known that the elevator has a pushbutton panel 10 for controlling the elevator from the car to the desired floor. The pushbutton panel has an alarm button and a stop button. When the alarm button is pressed, the alarm goes, for example, to the caretaker or to the service center's alarm center or the alarm clock is mounted on the ground floor. 15 The stop button can be used to stop the elevator as needed before the desired floor or in an emergency. The base button is easy to spot. Buttons are usually push buttons or touch buttons, so simply touching the button causes it to respond to the call. Base layer-20 pit can also be different in color than other push buttons.

Large elevator systems also include * · \, various information panels, microphone and speaker, fan control button, screen with floor nume -. * 25 ro, overload indicator, door operation buttons, ·, · and intercom in addition to other standard buttons.

... * *>> T) The driver is sometimes used for safety reasons to oversee the operation of the elevator and transport people to the desired floors. Such an elevator has two different pushbutton panels. In the other, the conventional push buttons for elevator control are located. The second button board contains only the up and down direction • buttons and the skip button. The override button can be used to override an external call to a layer if necessary.

2 112061 This button panel may also include an alarm reset, a service run switch, and switches for the fan and body light. In such elevator systems, the passenger or driver has not been able to influence the speed or acceleration of the elevator 5.

The elevator car is often driven too fast for people with, for example, runny nose or blocked ears. In such cases, with the solution of the invention, the passenger or driver can reduce the speed and / or acceleration of the elevator car to a lower extent and ease the passenger's condition. During peak periods, the elevator requires more capacity than during peak periods. This also consumes more energy. The high speed and / or acceleration of the lift may increase the fear and insecurity of using the lift. Higher speed and / or acceleration feel less driving comfort.

In response to the above drawbacks, the invention provides a novel arrangement for elevator calling and i '· ,. signaling system. The arrangement of the invention in the elevator call and signaling system on the pushbutton panel or level signaling devices has

The invention achieves e.g. the following advantages: the passenger or driver of the elevator car can adjust the speed and / or acceleration on the button-5 panel of the car body or at any other preferred location with the speed control switch, button or lever on the car body or floor.

extremely high driving comfort pressure fluctuations not felt in ears 10 - reduced speed and / or acceleration makes the passenger safer and reduces elevator fear reduced speed and / or acceleration has a favorable effect on energy consumption 15 - easy added value for the customer

The invention will now be described in more detail by way of example with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which: Fig. 1 illustrates a pushbutton on Table 1 and '·' * Fig. 2 illustrates a principle diagram by which the lift speed and / or acceleration adjust- • · ·: · is carried out.

Figure 1 shows a solution according to the invention. Well-.···. the adjusting knob 2 is preferably located on the push-button, ···. The speed control knob 2, which functions as a speed control means, is known in the art for controlling the speed and / or acceleration of the elevator. The speed control button 2 can also function as a standard vi-:. wooden or control switch, which can be infinitely adjustable; ti. Button panel 1 also includes push buttons 3, fan control button 4, alarm button 5, overload 4 112061 mail detector 11, display 6 showing floor number and intercom 8 with alarm device speaker and microphone and information plate 9. Door and door fasteners are numbered 10. Speed Indicator 5 Market 12 displays the elevator car's running speed at that time or other speed related information.

Fig. 2 is a schematic diagram showing how speed and / or acceleration control is implemented. By pressing a push button 2 placed on the pushbutton panel 1 of the car 10 or other advantageous location on the signaling devices on the car or level, the passenger of the elevator announces his need for speed conversion. The software module 14, which is part (or otherwise preferably) 15 of the elevator group control software 13, provides the elevator motor drive 15 with new speed and / or acceleration parameters. The new speed and / or acceleration parameters may be applied before or during the elevator journey. In larger elevator systems, it is advantageous to combine a passenger-reported reduction in speed with the traffic situation of the elevator group. If necessary, the elevator control may override the need to reduce the passenger's speed and / or acceleration. Then there is mah, · '··. $ 25 that during peak hours, speeds will not be reduced despite the passenger's personal preference. Other inspections and decisions depending on the traffic situation may be advantageous to implement. The elevator system may have a advantage::, it: 30 list to include feedback on the speed of the elevator in the car:: for the passenger. The speed indicator 12 may be h, for example a speedometer.

For larger elevator systems, it may be advantageous; 35 automate the return to normal lift speed and / or acceleration. For this purpose, it may be advantageous to include in the software module 14 a parameter, 5112061, which controls the return to normal speed. The options that can be selected with the parameter may be, for example: 5-following (= one) or ongoing driving at modified speed and / or acceleration.

- altered speed and / or acceleration up to the next change of direction 10.

-adjusted speed and / or acceleration as long as the traffic situation 15 allows it; -or altered speed and / or acceleration until the next press of the speed control knob 2.

Em. for the function, the software module 14 needs at least information about the entry and driving direction to the floor levels and possibly also the location of the elevator car. Typical use of 25 new elevator motors 15 transmits such information to the elevator group control software 13.

It will be apparent to one skilled in the art that various embodiments of the invention are not limited to the above examples, but may vary within the scope of the following claims.
