Abstract:
The present invention provides a safety device (1) installed on a car frame of an elevator, and comprising a housing (2), an elastic element (3) for providing a clamping force, and an engagement member (5, 6) adjacent to two sides of a guide rail, wherein the engagement member (5, 6) is provided with a sensor for measuring a spacing between the engagement member (5, 6) and a guiding face of the guide rail. The present invention further provides an elevator system provided with the above-described safety device and a control method for controlling the elevator system. The safety device according to the invention is able to accurately measure the distance between engagement parts and a guiding face of the guide rail in real time.
Abstract:
An elevator drive system (40) includes a permanent magnet (PM) synchronous electric motor (34) including a plurality of phases and a plurality of motor drives (55, 58) electrically connected to the PM synchronous electric motor. Each of the plurality of motor drives is operatively connected to a corresponding one of the plurality of phases. The plurality of motor drives is configured and disposed to deliver a torque current divided equally between each of the plurality of phases and independently deliver flux current to the corresponding one of the plurality of phases.
Abstract:
In order to control an elevator door (6) of an elevator car (10), which can be moved between floors (L1, L2, L3) of a building (2), at least one registered destination call is evaluated. By evaluating the destination call, a number of boarding or disembarking passengers can be planned for each stopping floor. A corresponding door opening holding time of the elevator door (6) is determined for each stopping floor in order to allow a registered passenger to board or disembark on a stopping floor. Furthermore, a number of passengers disembarking the elevator car (10) on the stopping floor and a number of passengers boarding the elevator car (10) on the stopping floor are determined. A closing of the elevator door (6) is triggered regardless of the determined door opening holding time if the number of passengers disembarking and boarding on the stopping floor, said number being determined by the sensor system (4), matches the number of boarding or disembarking passengers planned for the stopping floor.
Abstract:
The present invention discloses a method and an elevator system, in which a passenger gives elevator calls with a personal terminal device. An elevator car is allocated to the passenger on the basis of an elevator call, the maximum time from the moment of giving the call to the moment the doors of the allocated elevator car will close on the call-giving floor is calculated. The aforementioned maximum time is sent to the terminal device of the passenger for being presented to the passenger on the terminal device.
