DESCRIZIONE DESCRIPTION

"SISTEMA DI TELECONTROLLO PER ASCENSORI DI TIPOLOGIA DIVERSIFICATA" "REMOTE CONTROL SYSTEM FOR DIVERSIFIED LIFTS"

TESTO DELLA DESCRIZIONE TEXT OF THE DESCRIPTION

Il presente trovato si riferisce ad un sistema di telecontrollo per ascensori di tipologia diversificata. The present invention refers to a remote control system for lifts of a diversified type.

In tempi recenti, nell'aimbito della realizzazione e gestione di strutture immobiliari importanti che assolvono a funzioni di servizio comune e sociale quali ad esempio ospedali, alberghi, fiere, infrastrutture urbanistiche varie, caratterizzate perlopiù da alta frequentazione di pubblico da gestire con criteri di assoluta efficienza e sicurezza, si à ̈ andata sempre più diffondendo l'installazione di sistemi di telecontrollo, con il sostanziale obbiettivo di monitorare, capillarmente e da postazioni di supervisione anche decentrate e remote, la funzionalità di tutti gli apparati tecnologici che corredano le suddette strutture immobiliari. In recent times, in the context of the construction and management of important real estate structures that perform common and social service functions such as hospitals, hotels, fairs, various urban infrastructures, mostly characterized by high public attendance to be managed with absolute criteria efficiency and safety, the installation of remote control systems has become more and more widespread, with the substantial objective of monitoring, extensively and from supervision stations, even decentralized and remote, the functionality of all the technological equipment that accompany the aforementioned real estate structures .

Tra tali apparati tecnologici da monitorare, rivestono indubbia importanza gli impianti di ascensore, sia per l'oggettiva complessità e delicatezza delle tecnologie impiegate, sia perchà ̈ gli eventuali disservizi e malfunzionamenti, quali ad esempio l'intrappolamento accidentale di persone entro le cabine, possono causare situazioni di grave disagio psicologico e fisico ai soggetti coinvolti, particolarmente se gli interventi di ripristino della normale funzionalità non avvengono con immediatezza. Among these technological equipment to be monitored, lift systems are undoubtedly important, both for the objective complexity and delicacy of the technologies used, and because any inefficiencies and malfunctions, such as for example the accidental trapping of people inside the cabins, can cause situations of serious psychological and physical discomfort to the subjects involved, particularly if the interventions to restore normal functionality do not take place immediately.

Peraltro, tale attenzione gestionale e manutentiva si à ̈ andata sempre più diffondendo anche per gli impianti di ascensore presenti nei condomini di abitazione privata, la cui gestione viene sempre più spesso demandata ad imprese specializzate esterne, fortemente interessate alla disponibilità di sistemi di controllo dotati di terminali di supervisione delocalizzabili anche fuori dallo stabile interessato. Moreover, this management and maintenance attention has been increasingly widespread also for the lift systems present in private residential condominiums, whose management is increasingly delegated to external specialized companies, strongly interested in the availability of control systems equipped with supervision terminals that can also be relocated outside the building concerned.

Nella pratica tecnica, vi sono però ostacoli alla diffusione dì sistemi di telecontrollo integrali per insiemi di ascensori già esistenti nelle strutture succitate; ciò à ̈ dovuto al fatto che di solito tali insiemi comprendono macchine ed apparati di marche e tipologie diversificate, a causa di installazioni succedutesi negli anni, che generalmente risultano incompatibili con il sistema di telecontrollo che si vuole implementare. D'altra parte, à ̈ difficile ipotizzare per tali impianti la sostituzione completa di ascensori ed accessori, particolarmente se gli stessi, seppur datati, icontinuano a fornire prestazioni sicure ed affidabili. In technical practice, however, there are obstacles to the diffusion of integral remote control systems for sets of lifts already existing in the aforementioned structures; this is due to the fact that usually these sets include machines and apparatuses of different brands and types, due to successive installations over the years, which are generally incompatible with the remote control system to be implemented. On the other hand, it is difficult to hypothesize for such systems the complete replacement of lifts and accessories, particularly if the same, even if dated, continue to provide safe and reliable performance.

Lo scopo del presente trovato à ̈ pertanto quello di eliminare gli inconvenienti sopra menzionati. The object of the present invention is therefore to eliminate the aforementioned drawbacks.

Il trovato, quale esso à ̈ caratterizzato dalle rivendicazioni, raggiunge lo scopo mediante un dispositivo elettronico di interfaccia universale, in grado di far dialogare qualsiasi tipo di ascensore con terminali informatici di gestione a distanza. The invention, as it is characterized by the claims, achieves the object by means of a universal interface electronic device, capable of making any type of lift communicate with remote management computer terminals.

Il principale vantaggio ottenuto mediante il presente trovato consiste essenzialmente nel fatto che tutti gli ascensori di una o più strutture immobiliari sono controllabili a distanza attraverso un unico terminale informatico. In tal modo sono possibili interventi di emergenza per la sicurezza e la corretta funzionalità degli impianti in tempi inferiori a quelli conseguiti con le attuali tecniche. The main advantage obtained by means of the present invention essentially consists in the fact that all the lifts of one or more building structures can be controlled remotely through a single computer terminal. In this way, emergency interventions are possible for the safety and correct functioning of the systems in shorter times than those achieved with current techniques.

Un altro vantaggio del trovato consiste nel fatto che tale controllo a distanza può essere attuato da personale dotato di un terminale informatico mobile, senza necessità di raggiungere la centrale di supervisione del sistema di telecontrollo. Another advantage of the invention consists in the fact that this remote control can be carried out by personnel equipped with a mobile computer terminal, without the need to reach the supervisory center of the remote control system.

Un ulteriore vantaggio, conseguente all'utilizzazione per il trovato di mezzi di trasmissione comuni e condivisi in alternativa a reti fisiche private, Ã ̈ costituito dal basso costo per la telecomunicazione del sistema. A further advantage, consequent to the use for the invention of common and shared transmission means as an alternative to private physical networks, is the low cost of the system for telecommunication.

Inoltre, à ̈ conseguibile, per gli impianti sui quali il trovato viene installato, un'ottimizzazione del sistema manutentivo e di prevenzione guasti, con vantaggi economici e di qualità dell’ intera gestione. Furthermore, for the systems on which the invention is installed, an optimization of the maintenance and failure prevention system is achievable, with economic and quality advantages of the entire management.

Ulteriori vantaggi e caratteristiche del trovato saranno maggiormente evidenti nella descrizione dettagliata che segue, fatta con riferimento ai disegni allegati, che ne rappresentano un esempio non limitativo di esecuzione, in cui: Further advantages and characteristics of the invention will be more evident in the detailed description that follows, made with reference to the attached drawings, which represent a non-limiting example of execution, in which:

- la figura 1 illustra uno schema generale a blocchi del trovato; - la figura 2 illustra uno schema a blocchi del trovato, in una preferita versione realizzativa; Figure 1 illustrates a general block diagram of the invention; Figure 2 shows a block diagram of the invention, in a preferred embodiment;

- la figura 3 illustra schematicamente parti del trovato, secondo possibili varianti realizzative; Figure 3 schematically illustrates parts of the invention, according to possible embodiment variants;

On the other hand, when the data processing means (4b) and the electronic card (4a) are placed at a distance from each other, the universal interface device (4) can have at least one Wireless connection (4c) capable of mutually connecting them, thus as shown in Figure 3.

Nella stessa situazione di mezzi di elaborazione dati (4b) e scheda elettronica (4a) posti a distanza tra loro, Ã ̈ possibile il loro collegamento reciproco mediante una connessione via cavo (4d), quale ad esempio un cavo doppino Bus, analogamente illustrata nella figura 3. In the same situation of data processing means (4b) and electronic card (4a) placed at a distance from each other, it is possible to connect them reciprocally by means of a cable connection (4d), such as for example a Bus twisted pair cable, similarly illustrated in figure 3.

I mezzi di trasmissione (2) di dati possono comprendere almeno reti VPN, che utilizzano un sistema di trasmissione pubblico e condiviso come ad esempio internet, e sono in grado di assicurare una adeguata protezione dei dati trasmessi. The data transmission means (2) may include at least VPN networks, which use a public and shared transmission system such as the internet, and are able to ensure adequate protection of the transmitted data.
