Definitions
- the present invention relates to a drive device for an electrically, in particular electromagnetically, releasable brake of a (passenger or goods) conveying device, a brake system with such a drive device and an electrically releasable brake and a method for braking a (person or goods) conveying device by means of a such braking system.
- Passenger conveyors such as elevators, escalators and moving walkways, or goods conveyors, such as cranes or conveyors, have brakes that allow the conveyor to be stopped in an emergency.
- a brake has the task of the delivery device from the movement (in an emergency) decelerate or keep it at a standstill safely and is therefore usually configured fail-safe.
- the braking torque or the braking force is usually generated in case of fail-safe brakes on biased springs.
- the brakes are released electrically (usually electromagnetically), hydraulically or pneumatically. In the de-energized state, they are closed. They therefore comply with the required safety aspects under all operating conditions including emergency stop and power failure.
- Fail-safe means that the braking effect is always ensured, even under unfavorable conditions and operating disturbances.
- a common type is the electromagnetically releasable spring-loaded brake. Unenergized, springs close the brake. If the coil of the electromagnet of the brake is energized, a magnetic field builds up, which releases the brake and releases a movement.
- a control device for electromagnetically releasable brakes is known from FIG. 8 of EP 0 903 314 B1.
- a DC current for venting an electromagnetically releasable brake is generated by means of a rectifier and two series-connected transistors.
- a disadvantage of the solution is that a safe switching off of the brake air flow in case of failure, in particular a permanently conductive state of the transistors (eg alloying), can only be ensured by an additional electromechanical switch (eg relay contact). This is structurally complex and also makes the requirement of checking the functionality of the additional electromechanical switch.
- EP 2 028 150 AI a control device is shown, in which the brake air flow can be switched off by opening two switches. Even with this solution, there is the risk that the brake air flow can not be switched off when both switches can not be opened.
- a drive device for a brake of a transport device in particular for persons or goods
- a brake system with at least one such drive device and at least one brake and a method for braking a conveyor device, in particular for persons or goods, by means of such a brake system with the features of the independent Claims proposed.
- Advantageous embodiments are the subject of the dependent claims and the following description.
- a driving device according to the invention for a brake of a conveying device has a simple, yet reliable construction.
- an electronic, non-contact brake control can be provided.
- the DC voltage is first transformed by an inverter with at least one controllable semiconductor switch, such as a MOSFET, IGBT, bipolar transistor, etc., and then transformed by means of a potential-separating transformer from the input side (primary side) to the output side (secondary side).
- the DC-DC converter can be designed as a forward converter, single or push-pull converter, resonant converter or flyback converter.
- the control of the at least one semiconductor switch is preferably carried out according to a PWM method (pulse width modulation), whereby the amplitude of the brake release voltage can be influenced.
- PWM method pulse width modulation
- the amplitude of the output voltage of a forward converter, resonant converter or flyback converter depends on the duty cycle of the inverter. If a silicon-carbide semiconductor switch is preferably used, this allows an increase in the PWM frequency, which in turn allows smaller dimensioning of the flyback converter and the chokes.
- the potential-separating transformer ensures that in the case of a permanently conductive state (for example, alloying) of the at least one controllable semiconductor switch on the primary side, no electrical energy is transferred to the secondary side.
- a ground fault of the brake circuit (secondary side of the converter) does not lead to a dangerous state, which can prevent the disconnection of the brake release current.
- a ground fault on the primary side has no effect on the secondary side, as long as there is isolation between the primary and secondary side.
- Another advantage of the transformer is that can be done by the free choice of the ratio of primary to secondary winding advantageous adaptation to the intended mains voltage and the required brake release voltage. This makes it possible to use the basic structure of the control device for different types of brakes or mains voltages. Alternatively or additionally, the adjustment of the voltage, as described above, take place by influencing the activation of the at least one semiconductor switch of the inverter. The transformed alternating voltage is finally rectified on the secondary side by a rectifier and provided as a brake release voltage at the brake release voltage output for a brake release actuator, eg an electromagnet.
- a controllable output breaker For disconnecting an electrical connection from the DC-DC converter to the brake release voltage output, a controllable output breaker is provided. By opening the output circuit breaker, the brake release current can be switched off and thus the brake can be closed.
- the output breaker is designed as a controllable semiconductor switch, such as a MOSFET, IGBT, bipolar transistor, etc.
- a controllable semiconductor switch such as a MOSFET, IGBT, bipolar transistor, etc.
- the inverter is no longer driven, ie. an activation of the at least one semiconductor switch of the inverter which causes the alternating direction ends.
- This form of brake closing preferably takes place during each braking operation, be it during normal operation or during an emergency stop.
- the (additional) switching off of the brake release air by opening the controllable output disconnector can e.g. to be omitted during normal operation and only happen with an emergency stop.
- the activation device advantageously also has a brake release energy dissipation device, which is electrically conductively connected to the brake release voltage output.
- a brake release energy dissipation device which is electrically conductively connected to the brake release voltage output.
- the inverter has at least two, preferably exactly two, controllable semiconductor switches. Further current valves of the inverter can be designed as diodes. This represents a structurally simple embodiment of the inverter.
- the drive device has an AC voltage input and an input rectifier electrically connected to the AC voltage input, which is electrically conductively connected to the DC voltage input.
- the drive device can be connected to conventionally existing AC voltage networks.
- Such an upstream input rectifier can advantageously provide the (supply) direct voltage for several drive devices. This leads to an improved modularity and a reduction of the expenditure on equipment.
- the drive device preferably has at least one voltage measuring device and / or current measuring device and / or temperature measuring device.
- one or more voltages from the group comprising the (supply) DC voltage, the primary-side AC voltage, the secondary-side AC voltage and the brake release voltage, and / or one or more currents from the group comprising the (supply) DC and the brake air flow, and or one or more temperatures from the group comprising the temperature of the at least one controllable semiconductor switch and the temperature of the output breaker are detected.
- voltage, current and temperature monitoring the desired error-free operation of the brake control can be monitored, which is also the subject of the invention.
- the brake monitoring sensors can be used on the basis of the signal change. At which brake release current the sensor signals the change of the brake from closed to open or from open to closed.
- the amount of the necessary brake air flow or the necessary brake release voltage can be determined adaptively or iteratively. Also, by evaluating the characteristic curve of the brake air flow when opening or closing the brake, the transition from brake closed to vented (ie, open) or from vented to closed can be determined.
- Elevator standards such. B. EN 81, stipulate that in an elevator drive two independently operating brakes or brake circuits must be present (redundancy). This ensures that the car is kept safe even in the event of total failure of a brake circuit.
- Machine-room-less elevator concepts also require extremely compact and low-noise elevator brakes, since modern elevator drives are often placed in the shaft or ride on the cab.
- elevator brakes are particularly suitable as the at least one brake of a brake system according to the invention, in which two individual complete brakes are arranged one behind the other. Also suitable are versions with two or more brake circuits that act on a friction lining.
- the magnetic coils of the individual brake circuits can be accommodated in a common coil carrier or each in its own coil carrier.
- brakes are suitable with at least two brake calipers, which are arranged on a brake disc, or with or two brake shoes, which are arranged on a brake cylinder, and elevator brakes with a magnet coil and segmented armature disc.

- the brake 20 is also an electromagnetically releasable spring pressure brake with an electromagnet 21.
- the electromagnets 11, 21 preferably ventilate a brake system (a drive).
- the brakes 10 and 20 may be two single complete brakes arranged one behind the other. Likewise, however, they could together form a brake with two brake circuits acting on a Reibbelag uman. They may also together form a brake with two brake calipers which are arranged on a brake disk, or with two brake shoes which are arranged on a brake cylinder, or a brake with a magnet coil and segmented armature disk.
