Feature and the exemplary embodiment of various aspects of the invention are described more fully below。In the following detailed description, it is proposed that many details, in order to complete understanding of the present invention is provided。But, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention can implement when some details in not needing these details。Below the description of embodiment is only used to by illustrating that the example of the present invention provides being better understood from the present invention。The present invention is never limited to any concrete configuration set forth below and method, but covers any amendment, replacement and the improvement of element, parts and algorithm under the premise of without departing from the spirit of the present invention。In the the accompanying drawings and the following description, it does not have known structure and technology are shown, in order to avoid the present invention causes unnecessary obscuring。
Below in conjunction with accompanying drawing, elevator failure diagnosis device according to embodiments of the present invention, method and controller are described in detail。
Fig. 1 illustrates the block diagram of an embodiment of the elevator failure diagnosis device according to the present invention。
As it is shown in figure 1, this elevator failure diagnosis device includes band-type brake runs detection unit 101 and master controller 108。Band-type brake runs detection unit 101 for detecting the vibration signal of band-type brake action。Master controller 108 is connected to band-type brake and runs detection unit 101, for the vibration signal of band-type brake action is processed, thus judging band-type brake running quality, and will determine that result is sent to display unit 110。Display unit 110 is for showing the judged result that described master controller 108 is sent。Master controller 108 can be located at lift car interiorly or exteriorly, it is also possible to is located in elevator clipping room, it is also possible to be positioned at remotely relative to elevator, for instance be arranged in the Control Room of elevator。
In one embodiment, display unit 110 can be positioned at remotely relative to elevator。Such as, display unit 110 can be arranged in the Control Room of elevator。As required, Control Room can also arrange memory element 109, alarm unit 111 etc.。Master controller 108 is when judged result is beyond running quality threshold value, it is possible to send alarm signal to alarm unit 111, to be notified the Operation and Maintenance personnel of elevator by alarm unit 111。Memory element 109 can store the judged result of master controller 108 in time, to provide the long-time statistical data about elevator ride quality。Additionally, in one embodiment, master controller 108 is connected with the alarm unit 111 on remote server, display unit 110, memory element 109 by the mode of radio communication such that it is able to be easy to attendant to the location of elevator faults and solution;And the band-type brake that can analyze elevator monitoring runs part real-time status and predicts the generation of fault, it is proposed to maintenance warning, thus the significant trouble of elevator is prevented trouble before it happens。
Fig. 3 illustrates that band-type brake runs the schematic top plan view of an embodiment of detection unit。Band-type brake runs the vibrating sensor 1015 that detection unit 101 can include being arranged on elevator internal contracting brake。Vibrating sensor 1015 can be arranged on band-type brake lock arm 1012, for instance can be arranged on the upside of elevator internal contracting brake lock arm 1012。Vibrating sensor 1015 can also be arranged on the positions such as brake shoe 1013 or the brake rubber block 1014 of band-type brake。
In one embodiment, the vibration signal of band-type brake action includes the open/close lock action vibration signal of left and right band-type brake。Acceleration transducer can detect the acceleration of the open/close lock action of left and right band-type brake。Master controller 108 can extract the initial time t of the open/close lock action of left and right band-type brake from the vibration signal of the open/close lock action of left and right band-type brake0L、t0R、With stop timing t1L、t1R、The pulsewidth Δ t of open/close lock actuating signal can also be calculatedL、ΔtR、(such as by Δ tL=t1L-t0LDeng)。Master controller 108 can determine whether whether left and right band-type brake open/close lock action exists time delay。The band-type brake action delay time is to the delay time opening band-type brake after motor torque, and the effect of elevator internal contracting brake is when lift car is in the electromechanical device that static and motor is under power failure state to prevent elevator from moving again。In some control form, it can check elevator when motor power-off。When its control mode is usually electric, band-type brake unclamps, and during dead electricity, band-type brake is held tightly。As it has been described above, band-type brake runs detection unit 101 by extracting the initial time t of the open/close lock action of left and right band-type brake0L、t0R、With stop timing t1L、t1R、Thus effectively judging that whether the action of the open/close lock action of the left and right band-type brake of elevator is consistent, whether band-type brake action exists time delay, and in time the need of maintenance, elevator is carried out anticipation for result above, improves the safety of elevator and the ageing of elevator repair and maintenance。
In one embodiment, the acceleration a of the open/close lock action detected according to acceleration vibrating sensor 1015, it is known that the useful frictional force of pulley embraced by band-type brake is F=μ FN=μm a, wherein μ is the coefficient of friction of the grooving traction steel-cable of traction sheave, FNFor band-type brake pressure, m is quality。And according to lift dragging machine structure, open a sluice gate the suffered i.e. useful frictional force=coefficient of friction * (brake force-spring force-resistance) that makes a concerted effort, close a floodgate the suffered i.e. useful frictional force=coefficient of friction * (spring force-resistance) that makes a concerted effort。Because quality m remains unchanged in above formula, the Facing material of coefficientoffrictionμ and steel wire rope and traction sheave has relation, and when the two does not occur to wear and tear, μ is it is believed that remain unchanged;Therefore the change of F can be converted into the change of acceleration a。
If acceleration transducer output acceleration signal is fT(t), fTT the Fourier transformation of () is FT(ω), according to Parseval's theorem, fTThe energy of (t)Wherein, G (f)=| FT(ω)2It is called energy spectral density。
Therefore,
Therefore to institute's measuring acceleration value, can be quadratured by such as Fourier transformation mode, it is thus achieved that energy spectral density。
Whether normal according to the pulsewidth of left and right open/close lock, energy spectral density, it can be determined that whether band-type brake pressure is normal, obtains band-type brake running quality。And in time elevator can be carried out anticipation the need of maintenance according to result above, improve the security performance of elevator。
