1, it is a block diagram of an elevator communication device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The elevator communication device 100 is suitable for connecting an elevator device 200 and a server 300.

Here, the connection may include electrical connection or coupling. For example, the elevator communication device 100 is coupled via a network cable or electrically connected to the lift device 200 and the server 300, where the network cable can be an RS485 transmission line, an Ethernet line, etc. , But not limited to this, the elevator communication device 100 can also connect the elevator device 200 and the server 300 via a wireless network. The elevator communication device 100 is, for example, but not limited to, a communication device with a networking function, such as an Internet of Things device with a networking function, a gateway, etc. The elevator device 200 is, for example, but not limited to, a traction elevator, a hydraulic elevator, a pneumatic elevator, an escalator, and the like.

The elevator device 200 is used for outputting at least one elevator data. The elevator data may be the original data of the elevator device 200. For example, the elevator device 200 generates the original parameters and the corresponding data format according to its own operating state and the system software set by itself. The data format can be SQL data format, NOSQL data format, or custom data format, etc.

The elevator communication equipment 100 includes a storage device 110, a controller 120 and a communication circuit 130. The controller 120 is electrically connected to the storage device 110 and the communication circuit 130. In some embodiments, the controller 120 is electrically connected to the storage device 110 and the communication circuit 130 via a bus. The storage device 110 stores a plurality of thresholds. The threshold is a preset condition. The controller 120 obtains elevator data through the communication circuit 130, and obtains and stores a status data and an operation data in the storage device 110 according to the elevator data. For example, the controller 120 parses the elevator data, converts the data format of the elevator data into a recognizable data format, such as the MQTT data format, and obtains status data and operating data according to the data type of the converted elevator data. The data type of the status data is the status parameter, for example, the elevator device 200 opens and closes, the elevator device 200 rises or falls, the elevator device 200 calls for help alarm is triggered, and the elevator device 200 is in a maintenance shutdown state. The data type of the operating data is the operating parameters of the elevator device 200, such as the power level, motor speed, and moving speed of the elevator device 200.

The controller 120 is for example, but not limited to, a central processing unit (CPU), a microprocessor (Microprocessor), an application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC, Application-specific Integrated Circuit), and a System on a Chip (SOC) )Wait. The storage device 110 is, for example, but not limited to, electronically erasable rewritable read-only memory (EEPROM, Electrically-Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory), flash memory (Flash Memory), and other non-volatile memory (NVM, Non-volatile memory). -Volatile Memory).

The communication circuit 130 can provide wired network communication functions. For example, the communication circuit 130 is an RS485 communication interface and is connected to the elevator device 200 via an RS485 transmission line. The controller 120 obtains the elevator information of the elevator device 200 through the RS485 communication interface. It can also provide wireless network communication functions. For example, the communication circuit 130 is a narrowband Internet of Things communication interface, WiFi communication interface, 4G communication interface, etc. For example, the controller wirelessly connects to the server 300 via a narrowband Internet of Things communication interface, a WiFi communication interface or a 4G communication interface, and transmits data to the server 300 via a network.

The controller 120 outputs at least one of the status data and the operation data to the server 300 when at least one of the status data and the operation data meets the corresponding threshold.

The aforementioned status data can be at least one selected from the group consisting of door leaf status, moving status, disaster status, manual status, alarm status, abnormal status, usage status, and power status. The door leaf state is the open and closed state of the elevator device 200. The moving state is the ascending and descending state of the elevator device 200. The disaster status is whether the elevator device 200 is currently experiencing disasters. For example, if the smoke detector is triggered (such as sensing smoke), it is in a fire state, and if the vibration sensor is triggered (such as sensing shaking), it is in an earthquake state. Wait. The manual state refers to that the elevator device 200 is in a manual state (that is, non-automatic operation), the machine room that controls the elevator device 200 is in a manual state, and so on. The alarm state is that the alarm system of the elevator device 200 is triggered, for example, the built-in voice help button of the elevator device 200 is pressed. The abnormal state is the abnormal operation of the elevator device 200, such as shutdown, delayed response after pressing the floor key, etc. The use state is a state in which the elevator device 200 is in operation or under maintenance. The power state is the state of the system that supplies power to the elevator device 200, for example, the inverter is running, the generator is powered, and so on.

The aforementioned operating data may be at least one selected from the group consisting of motor speed, power parameters, movement speed, temperature parameters, photoelectric parameters, and sound effect parameters. The motor speed is the motor speed of the elevator device 200. The power parameter is the power parameter of the elevator device 200, such as the voltage, current, power, etc. consumed by the elevator device 200. The moving rate is the rate at which the elevator device 200 rises or falls. The temperature parameter is the temperature of the elevator device 200. The photoelectric parameter is the wattage consumed by the light source inside the car body of the elevator device 200. The sound effect parameter is the volume of the voice equipment inside the car body of the elevator device 200.

The corresponding threshold of the aforementioned state data may be that the current state data is different from the previous state data. For example, the state of the door leaf in the state data stored in the storage device 110 is that the elevator device 200 is open, and the current state of the door leaf in the current state data obtained by the controller 120 according to the elevator data is that the door of the elevator device 200 is closed. This is the current state. The data is different from the previous state data. However, it is not limited to this, and the movement state of the state data of the storage device 110 may be uplink, and the movement state of the current state data may be downlink, etc. When the state data of the controller 120 meets the corresponding threshold, for example, when the current state data (that is, the state data currently obtained by the controller 120) of the controller 120 is different from the previous state data (the state data stored in the storage device 110) , The controller 120 sends the status data and operation data to the server 300. For example, before the controller 120 stores the current status data in the storage device 110, it will first determine whether the current status data meets the corresponding threshold, and if the corresponding threshold is met, the current status data and operating data (such as The operation data stored in the storage device) is sent to the server 300, and then the current status data is stored in the storage device 110, but this creation is not limited to this. For example, the actions of the controller can be performed substantially simultaneously; or the storage device 110 has a state data buffer area, when the controller 120 obtains and stores the current state data, the previous state data will be stored in the state data buffer area. The controller determines whether the current status data is different from the previous status data stored in the status data buffer area, and if they are different, the current status data and operation data are sent to the server 300. Therefore, the operator and maintenance person can grasp the status change of the elevator device 200 in real time.

The corresponding threshold of the aforementioned operating data can be a data volume threshold. When the operating data of the controller 120 meets the corresponding threshold, for example, when the cumulative data volume of the operating data is greater than the data volume threshold, the controller 120 sends the operating data to the server 300. In some embodiments, when the controller 120 sends the operating data to the server 300, the operating data stored in the storage device 110 is cleared. Therefore, when the cumulative data volume of the operating data is greater than the data volume threshold, the controller 120 sends the operating data to the server 300, which can improve the transmission efficiency and transmission rate of the data to the server 300, for example, the network quality is not It needs to be maintained at a high level forever to improve the transmission quality of the data sent to the server 300 and reduce the burden of data storage on the server 300. In addition, by clearing the operating data stored in the storage device 110 when the controller 120 sends the operating data to the server 300, the burden on the storage device 110 is reduced.

In some embodiments, the data volume threshold corresponds to the data transmission size of a data channel 140A-140C between the elevator communication device 100 and the server 300. For example, the data channel 140A is for narrowband IoT communication, the data channel 140B is for WiFi communication, and the data channel 140C is for 4G communication, and different communication methods have different data transmission sizes. For example, the data transmission size of narrowband IoT communication is 1,000 byte, the data transmission size of WiFi communication is 800 byte, and the transmission size of 4G communication is 500 byte. The data volume threshold is set according to the data transmission size of the data channels 140A-140C between the elevator communication device 100 and the server 300. For example, if the elevator communication device 100 and the server 300 use the data channel 140A to transmit data, the data volume threshold can be set to be close to or smaller than the data transmission size of the narrowband IoT communication, such as the data volume threshold setting It is close to or less than 1,000 bytes. For example, the data threshold is 950 bytes. Here, three data channels 140A~140C are taken as an example, but this creation is not limited to this, and can be one, two, four, etc.

In some embodiments, the elevator communication device 100 can select the data channels 140A to 140C with higher quality or the data channels that can be supported according to the communication quality of the current data channels 140A~140C or the transmission rate supported by its own system. 140A~140C to transmit data to the server 300. For example, the data channel 140A is for narrowband IoT communication, the data channel 140B is for WiFi communication, and the data channel 140C is for 4G communication. If the current WiFi communication quality is the highest or the highest transmission rate supported by the elevator communication device 100 is WiFi communication, then The data channel 140B can be selected to transmit data to the server 300. Here, three data channels 140A~140C are taken as an example, but this creation is not limited to this, and can be one, two, four, etc. Therefore, by selecting the current high-quality data channels 140A-140C for the elevator communication device 100 to transmit data to the server 300, the elevator communication device 100 and the server 300 can continue to maintain high-quality transmission efficiency and speed.

In some embodiments, there are multiple data channels 140A-140C between the elevator communication device 100 and the server 300, and the data amount threshold corresponds to a minimum data transmission size of the data channels 140A-140C. For example, the data channel 140A is for narrowband IoT communication, the data channel 140B is for WiFi communication, and the data channel 140C is for 4G communication, and different communication methods have different data transmission sizes. For example, the data transmission size of narrowband IoT communication is 1,000 byte, the data transmission size of WiFi communication is 800 byte, and the transmission size of 4G communication is 500 byte. The data volume threshold corresponds to the minimum data transmission size of the data channels 140A~140C. For example, the data volume threshold is set according to the transmission size of 4G communication, for example, the data volume threshold is 450 bytes. Here, three data channels 140A~140C are taken as an example, but this creation is not limited to this, and can be two, four, etc.

In some embodiments, the controller 120 sends the status data and the operation data to the server 300 when the time for which the data is not sent continuously is greater than a time threshold. For example, when at least one of the status data and operation data does not meet the corresponding threshold for a time greater than the time threshold, the controller 120 sends the status data and operation data stored in the storage device 110 to the server 300, and clears the storage device 110 The stored operating data. Therefore, the burden on the storage device 110 is reduced. The time threshold can be a preset time value.

The database 310 stores an associated record, an operator account corresponding to the operator terminal 400, a repairer account corresponding to the repairer terminal 500, and status data and operation data received from the elevator communication device 100. The association record has a record in which the status data and the operation data are associated with at least one of the operator's account and the maintainer's account. For example, the associated record is a comparison table. The comparison table has the serial number of each status data, the operator account and the maintenance account corresponding to the serial number of the status data, the serial number of each operation data, and the serial number of each operation data. Operator account and maintainer account. Since each operator account and maintainer account may correspond to a different elevator device 200 and the elevator communication equipment 100 connected to the elevator device 200, each operator account and maintainer account can correspond to each other through the association record The status data and operation data of the elevator device 200 are bound to the corresponding operator account and maintainer account.

The computing module 320 obtains the status data and operation data of the corresponding monitoring command and the operator’s account according to the monitoring command and associated records, and displays it on the operating interface module 410 of the operator terminal 400 corresponding to the operator’s account for operation A person can view the status data and operation data through the operation interface module 410 or the operator interface provided by the operator to learn the information of the elevator device 200 that he wants to know. The monitoring command can be a command generated by the operator through operations on the operator interface of the operating interface module 410, such as clicking on the information field option to be viewed.

The arithmetic module 320 obtains the corresponding query command and the status data and operation data of the maintainer’s account according to the query command and associated records, and displays it on the repair interface module 510 of the repairer terminal 500 corresponding to the maintainer account for maintenance A person can view the status data and operation data through the maintenance interface module 510 or the interface provided by the maintenance person to learn the information about the elevator device 200 that he wants to know. The query command can be a command generated by a repairer through operations on the repairer's user interface of the repair interface module 510, such as clicking on the information field option to be viewed.

In some embodiments, before displaying the status data and operating data on the operating interface module 410 or the maintenance interface module 510, the computing module 320 converts the status data and operating data into information that is easy to check, for example, into a list form.

3, which is a block diagram of an elevator monitoring system 600 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The elevator monitoring system 600 further includes a data sending module 330. The data sending module 330 is included in the server 300. The data sending module 330 is connected to the database 310. The data sending module 330 responds to the update of the status data received from the elevator communication device 100, for example, responds to the update of the status data stored in the database 310. The data sending module 330 sends an update message to the operator terminal 400 corresponding to the operator account and the repairer terminal 500 corresponding to the repairer account according to the associated record. The update message can be an update reminder. The update reminder can be a text message including the update time and the updated status data displayed on the operator terminal 400 or the repairer terminal 500, or a visually recognizable way. The prompt message (for example, a flashing prompt message is presented on the operator terminal 400 or the repairer terminal 500), but the present creative embodiment is not limited to this, and may also be through methods such as hearing and touch (such as vibration).

In some embodiments, the status type of the status data is divided into a normal status type and a fault status type. For example, door leaf status, moving status, and use status are normal status types, and manual status, alarm status, abnormal status, and power status are fault status types. The data sending module 330 responds to the update of the status data of the normal status type, and sends an update message and a first special effect command to the operator terminal 400 corresponding to the operator account and the repairer terminal 500 corresponding to the repairer account according to the associated record.

The operator terminal 400 and the repairer terminal 500 respectively respond to the first special effect instruction and the second special effect instruction to generate a first special effect and a second special effect, wherein the first special effect is different from the second special effect. Since the status data of the fault state type is that the elevator device 200 may be abnormal and needs to prompt the operator and repairer immediately, the status data of the normal state type is the normal state of the elevator device 200, and the operator does not need to be clearly reminded Or the status of the elevator device 200 of the repairer changes, so the first special effect can be set to a special effect that is more conspicuous than the second special effect. For example, the first special effect can be a flashing red prompt message on the operator terminal 400 and the repairer terminal 500 And audio with high volume, and the second special effect is a text message with no flashing light source and no audio.

In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 3, the elevator monitoring system 600 further includes a maintenance reporting module 340. The maintenance reporting module 340 is connected to the database 310.

The maintenance interface module 510 fills in in response to an operation A maintenance data is stored in the maintenance form, and the maintenance form is stored in the database 310, wherein the maintenance data is related to the maintenance settings of the elevator device 200. The maintenance setting may be a maintenance process performed on the elevator device 200 by a maintenance person, such as which parts of the elevator device 200 are replaced. For example, the operator can input the maintenance report command through the operator interface of the operation interface module 410. For example, the operator clicks on the part replacement field on the operator interface to generate a maintenance report command. The maintenance report module 340 generates a maintenance form with a title field and additional content fields according to the maintenance report instruction. For example, the title field is automatically filled with relevant information according to the maintenance report instruction, such as the text content of "Parts Replacement" in the title field.

The maintenance interface module 510 responds to an operation performed by the maintenance operator on the maintenance user interface of the maintenance interface module 510 and fills in the maintenance data in the maintenance form. For example, the maintenance operator edits in the auxiliary content field of the maintenance form and fills in The maintenance data is in the auxiliary content field, for example, the replacement motor model information is filled in the auxiliary content field. The maintenance interface module 510 stores the maintenance form filled with the maintenance data in the database 310.

In some embodiments, the maintenance reporting module 340 receives a maintenance form filled with maintenance data from the maintenance interface module 510, and stores the maintenance form in the database 310. In some embodiments, the operator and the maintenance person can use the operation interface module 410 and the maintenance interface module 510 to read, edit, and delete the maintenance forms stored in the database 310, respectively.

In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 3, the elevator monitoring system 600 further includes a system update module 350. The database 310 and the elevator communication device 100 each store a version of data. The system update module 350 determines whether the version data of the elevator communication device 100 corresponds to the version data stored in the database 310. If it does not correspond, the system update module 350 sends an updated version data to the elevator communication device 100 according to the version data stored in the database 310. The elevator communication device 100 updates its own version data according to the updated version data. The version data is the system software version information that should be executed on the elevator communication device 100. The updated version data can be the difference between the version data stored in the database 310 and the version data of the elevator communication device 100; or copy the version data stored in the database 310 to generate a backup version data. For example, the system update module 350 determines whether the version serial number of the version data of the elevator communication device 100 matches the version serial number of the version data stored in the database 310. If it does not match and the version number of the version data stored in the database 310 is greater than the version number of the version data of the elevator communication device 100, the system update module 350 sends the updated version data to the elevator communication device according to the version data stored in the database 310 100. However, this creation is not limited to this. The system update module 350 can set the version number of the version data of the elevator communication device 100 to the version number of the version data stored in the database 310 and the version data stored in the database 310 When the version number is smaller than the version number of the version data of the elevator communication device 100, the updated version data is sent to the elevator communication device 100. The elevator communication device 100 supplements or revises its own version data according to the updated version data, so as to upgrade its own version data to the latest released version data (that is, the version data stored in the database 310 by the operator or the maintainer).

In some embodiments, the system update module 350 authenticates the elevator communication device 100 according to a version update request sent by the elevator communication device 100 to generate an authentication result. For example, the system update module 350 obtains the first authentication information according to the version update request, and scans and decodes the two-dimensional code formed by encoding the first authentication information through the cloud server to obtain the second authentication information. The system update module 350 determines whether the first authentication information and the second authentication information have the same or corresponding relationship to generate an authentication result. When the first authentication information and the second authentication information have the same or corresponding relationship, the authentication result is passed authentication. The system update module 350 determines whether the version data of the elevator communication device 100 corresponds to the version data stored in the database 310 after the elevator communication device 100 passes the authentication. Therefore, it can be ensured that the updated version data subsequently provided by the system update module 350 is the authorized elevator communication device 100, and not an unauthorized electronic device.

In some embodiments, the elevator communication device 100 sends a version update request every random number threshold. The random number threshold can be a value generated by a random number generator. As a result, if the server 300 is connected to multiple elevator communication devices 100, the time when each elevator communication device 100 requests the server 300 to update the version data can be staggered to avoid mutual interference in data transmission between the elevator communication devices 100.

In some embodiments, the elevator monitoring system 600 further includes a troubleshooting indicator module. The database 310 stores a troubleshooting example, which includes various possible failures of the elevator device 200 and corresponding solutions. The troubleshooting instruction module determines the current failure of the elevator device 200 based on the status data and operating data, and generates a troubleshooting guide based on the troubleshooting examples in the database 310, such as the troubleshooting instruction module from the database 310. In the troubleshooting example, a solution corresponding to the fault problem encountered by the current elevator device 200 is selected to generate a troubleshooting guide, so that the repairer can quickly repair the elevator device 200 according to the teaching of the troubleshooting guide.

In some embodiments, the elevator monitoring system 600 further includes a time sequencing module, and the status data and operation data stored in the database 310 are processed according to the time stored in the database 310 or the time uploaded from the elevator communication device 100 Sort to generate a timeline list, and display the timeline list in the operation interface module 410 and the maintenance interface module 510. Among them, the time axis list may include status data, operation data, and the time respectively stored in the database 310 or the time uploaded from the elevator communication device 100. In some embodiments, the time sequencing module can adjust the content displayed in the time axis list through a display time segment entered by the operator in the operation interface module 410 or the maintenance operator in the maintenance interface module 510, for example, if the display The time zone is to display the information within the current one hour, the time sorting module can adjust the time axis list to only display the time stored in the database 310 or the time uploaded from the elevator communication device 100 as the current one hour status Data and operating data.

In some embodiments, the computing module 320 can predict the failure of the elevator device 200 or the probability of failure based on the status data and the operation data.

Therefore, according to some embodiments, when at least one of the status data and the operation data meets the corresponding threshold by the controller of the elevator communication device, for example, the current status data is different from the previous status data and the cumulative data amount of the operation data. If it is greater than the data volume threshold, the controller continuously does not send data for a time greater than the time threshold, etc., at least one of the status data and operation data will be sent to the server so that the operator or maintenance person can immediately obtain the elevator device The related status and information, so that the operator can notify the repairer to repair the elevator device when the elevator device fails or is about to fail; or the maintenance personnel can directly send the data to the server through the elevator communication equipment, To quickly determine whether the elevator device needs maintenance. In addition, through the setting of multiple thresholds, the speed at which the elevator communication equipment transmits data to the server can be optimized, and the burden on the elevator communication equipment and the server system can be reduced.
