In this embodiment, two barometers are used: barometer A and barometer B. Barometer A Installed on the top of the elevator shaft to measure the air pressure at the top of the elevator shaft; Barometer B is installed on the elevator to measure the air pressure of the elevator on the current floor. When the elevator moves, the reading of the barometer B changes according to the height Change. The reading of barometer B will be higher than the reading of barometer A, because the height of the elevator is always lower than the height of the top of the elevator shaft. In actual use, the elevator must be run from the bottom floor to the top floor during the first installation, so that The elevator stops on every floor, and calculates and records the difference between the readings of barometer B and barometer A on each floor. In addition, it is necessary to run the elevator down from the top floor to the bottom once. Similarly, let the elevator stop on every floor, And calculate and record the barometer B and air pressure of each floor Read between gauge A difference in number. Because the barometer A is installed on the top of the elevator shaft, when the elevator goes up, the air in the elevator shaft will be compressed, and when the elevator goes down, the air in the elevator shaft will be expanded, so the barometer A detects when the elevator goes up and down The air pressure of the elevator is different, and the barometer B also has a similar response. When the elevator ascends and descends, the readings of the barometer B on the same floor are different, so it needs to ascend and descend _ times each. As shown in FIG. 3 , the elevator connection system 20 further includes a barometer A250, a barometer B252, a processor 260 and a storage unit 262. The barometer A250 and the barometer B252 are connected to the elevator data acquisition device 21, and the readings of the barometer A250 and the barometer B252 are sent to the control circuit 24 through the elevator data acquisition device 21, and then sent to the processor 260 for calculation. When the elevator ascends and descends for the _th time, the processor 260 stores the calculated reading difference and the corresponding floor number in the storage unit 262 on each _ floor, and stores it as an ascending data group during the ascending operation, and stores it as drop data set. After the first installation and setting are completed, during the subsequent operation of the elevator, the processor 260 can compare the real-time reading difference with the ascending data set or descending data set stored in the storage unit ₂₆₂ according to the elevator running conditions, and then based on The result of the comparison determines the current floor number of the elevator and sends it to the third-party device 30 through the communication device 23 .
