Abstract:
The invention relates to a method and to an apparatus for performing a rescue run with an elevator. In the method information is received from the sensors measuring the operation of the elevator about the points being measured with the sensors in question, one or more rescue run functions are selected on the basis of information received from the sensors, and also a rescue run, including the selected one or more rescue run functions, is performed.
Abstract:
A backup circuit for supplying electricity to an electronic overspeed governor in connection with a malfunction of a main electricity supply is disclosed. The backup circuit includes an energy storage. The backup circuit is configured to disconnect the supply of electricity from the energy storage to the electronic overspeed governor with a delay when the malfunction of the main electricity supply is detected, and when the malfunction of the main electricity supply continues for a predetermined amount of time, restarting the supply of electricity from the energy storage to the electronic overspeed governor.
Abstract:
A drive device of an elevator includes a DC bus, a motor bridge connected to the DC bus for the electricity supply of the elevator motor, a control circuit with which control circuit the operation of the motor bridge is controlled by producing control pulses in control poles of high-side and low-side switches of the motor bridge, a brake controller, which comprises a switch for supplying electric power to an electromagnetic brake, a brake control circuit, with which the operation of the brake controller is controlled, an input circuit for the safety signal to be disconnected/connected from outside the drive device, drive prevention logic and brake drop-out logic connected to the input circuit and configured to prevent the passage of control pulses to the control poles of the high-side and/or low-side switches when the safety signal is disconnected.
Abstract:
The object of the invention is an elevator provided with a safety apparatus arrangement, which elevator comprises at least an elevator car traveling along guide rails and a safety brake device, such as a safety gear, for stopping undesired movement of the elevator car, as well as a transmission mechanism for activating the safety gear. The safety apparatus arrangement comprises a tuning apparatus disposed on the elevator car for detecting a presence on the roof of the elevator car, which tuning apparatus comprises means for pre-activating the transmission mechanism when a presence on the roof of the elevator car has been detected.
