System and method for monitoring elevators and escalators in railway station buildings

Abstract

The invention discloses a railway station escalator monitoring system and method. The railway station escalator monitoring system is characterized by comprising an escalator monitoring center, a communication network, switches, monitoring devices and field controllers, the escalator monitoring center is connected with one or more monitoring devices in the mode that the switches have access to the communication network, and the monitoring devices are connected with the field controllers through protocol converters. Railway station escalators are managed in a concentrated and unified mode and are controlled in real time, the escalators stop working when no person is on the escalators, energy and electricity are saved effectively, and as the video monitoring function is provided, real-time video data and historical video data are provided for the system. The system can achieve monitoring at different times and can also achieve monitoring at different areas, the service life of an escalator unit is prolonged, the maintenance cost is lowered, and energy and electricity are saved more effectively. In the operating process, the escalators are started firstly, then the escalators operate at nominal speed, and passengers can have a better experience while electricity is saved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of escalator monitoring, in particular to a monitoring system and method for escalators in railway station buildings. Background technique [0002] In the current situation where electricity prices may continue to rise, the energy-saving transformation of elevators in railway stations not only saves unit funds, responds to the government's call for energy conservation, realizes the energy-saving achievements of decision makers, but also contributes to the environmental protection society. [0003] At present, there are three major defects in escalators: [0004] 1. Amazing waste of electricity [0005] For airports, stations and other places with obvious periodicity, the passenger flow is concentrated when the plane or train arrives, and there are fewer passengers at other times; for shopping malls, shopping centers and other places, it is generally after opening in the morning, eating at noon, and before closing at ...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

So far, the vast majority of escalators are powered by direct power supply, and do not adjust the speed, so that the escalator still runs at full speed when no one is riding, resulting in a lot of waste of electric energy

[0006] 2. Severe mechanical wear and shortened service life

[0009] 3. The failure rate is high, resulting in high cost of use

[0010] Since the escalator maintains full speed for a long time, its handrails, combs, steps and other components wear quickly. In addition to the large cost of replacing parts, the increased wear gap often causes the escalator to fail and stop running or cause hidden dangers. And accidents are a very troublesome thing for users, passengers and escalator maintenance units
