Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical fields of special equipment installation and elevator guide rail installation, and specifically relates to a digital installation method for elevator guide rails based on a laser tracker and a motion capture system. The method is particularly suitable for high-precision spatial positioning, real-time quality monitoring, and deviation correction of guide rails in elevator shafts of high-rise buildings, and solves the problems of precise layout and verticality control during elevator installation. Background Art
[0002] Elevator guide rails are the core guiding components of elevator systems. Their installation accuracy directly impacts the smoothness, safety, and service life of the elevator. With the rapid development of high-rise buildings and the increasing height of elevator shafts, traditional guide rail installation methods face significant challenges in terms of benchmark transmission, construction efficiency, and precision control.
[0003] There are many technical solutions for installing elevator guide rails. The Chinese patent with publication number CN116062586A proposes an adjustable bracket system, which uses the bending surface of the split guide rail bracket and the shaft bracket to achieve position adjustment using long-hole bolts. Although this solution transfers the adjustment object from the guide rail to the lighter bracket, it still has the following shortcomings: First, it relies on manual operation of the magnetic clamp for fine-tuning (a single adjustment takes about 15 minutes), and the adjustment accuracy is affected by operating experience. The measured data shows that the repeat positioning error is as high as ±1.5mm; second, the bracket adjustment tooling needs to be rigidly connected to the elevator car (see the attached manual). Figure 8 ), which is easily affected by the shaking of the car during high-altitude operations, resulting in a parallelism deviation of more than 2mm / m between the bracket installation surface and the shaft wall; thirdly, there is a lack of a global digital benchmark, and the bracket adjustment still relies on physical contact measurement, which cannot achieve continuous error compensation for multiple sections of guide rails.
[0004] Chinese patent publication number CN101495396B utilizes segmented laser alignment technology, using a movable directional laser and a magnetic alignment device to install the guide rails segment by segment. While this solution reduces the problem of laser beam scattering over long distances, it still suffers from the following drawbacks: First, the laser requires frequent repositioning (adjustment every 10 meters), resulting in cumulative errors in the transfer of reference positions and difficulty ensuring reference consistency in the height direction; second, the reliance on manual alignment with a magnetic clamp results in low installation efficiency (a single segment installation takes approximately 30 minutes), and operational accuracy is significantly affected by the operator's skill level; third, the lack of global deviation monitoring of the installed guide rails prevents real-time quality control and deviation correction during installation.
[0005] The Chinese patent with publication number CN112239116B proposes a pre-adjustment installation system based on a transportation platform, which pre-adjusts the guide rail support position by measuring the shaft structure. The shortcomings of this scheme are: first, a complex pre-assembly workbench is needed, which has large equipment volume, is difficult to transport, has poor site adaptability, especially in the space-limited shaft environment, and construction is hindered; second, it relies on physical contact measurement tools (such as total station), which cannot realize non-contact real-time measurement and dynamic calibration, resulting in low measurement efficiency; third, it does not solve the problem of cumulative error transmission when multiple guide rails are spliced, and the actual measurement data shows that the verticality deviation after installing 5 continuous guide rails can reach ±5mm, which seriously affects the running stability and riding comfort of the elevator.
[0006] Based on the analysis of existing technologies, there are three key technical problems in the field of elevator guide rail installation: First, the reference transmission is unreliable: traditional plumb lines or segmented lasers are difficult to maintain the consistency of the reference in high-rise shafts, resulting in cumulative installation errors with height. Experimental data show that in a 200-meter shaft, the verticality deviation of the traditional method can reach 10-15mm, far exceeding the verticality deviation requirement (≤5mm) specified in the national standard GB / T 7024-2008 "Elevator Installation and Acceptance Specification". Due to the reference deviation, high-speed elevators are prone to lateral vibration during operation, reducing comfort and accelerating guide rail wear, shortening equipment service life.
[0007] Second, quality control is lagging: existing methods mostly use a post-inspection mode, which conducts spot checks after installation is completed, and cannot monitor guide rail pose deviation in real time. Actual construction data shows that the rework rate of guide rail installation projects is as high as 12%, mainly due to irreversible installation defects found by post-inspection, which not only increases project cost but also significantly prolongs construction cycle. Especially for elevator projects of super high-rise buildings, rework cost and time loss are particularly prominent.
[0008] Third, the degree of digitization is low: traditional installation methods rely too much on manual experience and manual operation, with manual recording and adjustment accounting for more than 60% of installation time, lacking full-process digital closed-loop management from lofting to correction. Key parameters in the construction process (such as guide rail support position, guide rail connection deviation, etc.) are difficult to accurately quantify and systematically record, lacking data-driven intelligent decision support, resulting in large fluctuations in construction quality, making it difficult to meet the requirements of modern high-rise building elevators for high-precision, high-efficiency, and high-reliability installation. SUMMARY
[0009] In view of the defects and deficiencies of the prior art, the present application provides an elevator guide rail digital installation method based on a laser tracker and a motion capture system to solve the problems of unreliable reference transmission, lagging quality control and low digitalization in the installation of high-rise elevator shaft guide rails. First, a laser tracker with a measurement accuracy better than ±20μm is set up at the top of the elevator shaft to build a global coordinate system of the shaft. At the same time, a motion capture camera array containing 4-12 high-frame-rate cameras and a projection device with automatic focusing function are integrated on a lifting work platform with a guide structure (shoe) to form a local measurement network of the shaft. By installing calibration rods with double-system target balls at both ends, moving in various attitudes such as horizontal, vertical, 45° inclination and compound angles in the working space (covering more than 80% of the working area and involving at least 3 different height layers), collecting not less than 6 groups of target ball coordinate data, and using an optimization method based on rigid body distance constraints to calculate the conversion relationship between the two system coordinate systems, 3-5 non-coplanar target balls are arranged on the projection device to build a projection rigid body, and its six-degree-of-freedom pose parameters are obtained in real time by the motion capture camera array. Based on the above conversion relationship and pose parameters, the coordinate transformation and projection correction algorithm is used to convert the three-dimensional installation data of the guide rail bracket into a two-dimensional projection image, which is optimized by high contrast before projection, and the projection brightness is dynamically adjusted according to the environmental lighting data collected by the motion capture camera array, to realize accurate lofting of the guide rail bracket installation point. After the preliminary installation of the guide rail and the bracket, the three-dimensional coordinate data of the high-reflectivity target sheet (2 on the horizontal height of the bracket installation point of each guide rail, 1 at both ends) installed on the guide rail is collected by the motion capture camera array, and after noise filtering and outlier elimination, the deviation matrix of the actual position and the design model is calculated; and based on the matrix, hierarchical correction is performed: adjust the guide rail adjustable pad when the deviation along the X direction exceeds the threshold, adjust the guide rail gasket with a gradient of 0.1mm in 12 stages when the deviation along the Y direction or the perpendicularity exceeds the threshold, and issue an alarm and require reinstallation when the deviation exceeds the second threshold. After completing the installation of the current section, the lifting work platform is lifted to the top of the current section guide rail by the shoe cooperating with the installed guide rail, the coordinate system calibration is re-executed, and the straightness is detected by arranging target balls in the middle of the current section guide rail, the lower end and the middle of the last section guide rail before re-calibration to eliminate the segmented error, and the lofting, detection and correction process is cycled to ensure the consistency of the installation accuracy of the whole shaft.

For this purpose, a digital lofting, quality monitoring and correction scheme for elevator guide rail installation is proposed: The application relates to an elevator guide rail digitization installation method and system based on a laser tracker and a motion capture system, which establishes a global coordinate system and a local coordinate system through a high-precision laser tracker at the top of a shaft and a motion capture camera array on a lifting platform, and tracks the space position of a projector in real time; a three-dimensional geometric transformation algorithm is used to convert support and guide rail installation data into a projection image, so that precise digital lofting is realized on the shaft wall; an ideal reference line is dynamically projected by a high-brightness projector, and visual comparison is carried out with the actual installation position; actual installation coordinates are collected by using a high-reflectivity target ball (or a target sheet), a coordinate matching algorithm is used to calculate the deviation and generate a three-dimensional correction strategy; the construction process is cyclically executed in an iterative calibration mode, and the consistency of the installation accuracy of the whole shaft is ensured. The application solves the problems of reference drift and cumulative error in the traditional method, has high installation accuracy, can significantly improve construction efficiency and quality reliability, and is particularly suitable for precise installation engineering of high-rise building elevator shafts.
[0032] The implementation process thereof can include the following steps: Step S1: fixing a high-precision laser tracker at a reference point at the top of an elevator shaft to construct a global reference coordinate system of the shaft; integrating a high-speed motion capture camera array and a high-brightness laser projector on a liftable operation platform to form a shaft measurement network; Step S2: Based on the design center axis of the elevator shaft, the intrinsic calibration of the motion capture camera array is performed; then the target ball is placed during the calibration process of the motion capture system and the laser tracker coordinate system: the motion capture target ball and the laser tracker target ball are installed on the left and right ends of the calibration rod respectively, and the calibration rod appears in multiple different poses in the workspace during the calibration process, such as horizontal placement, vertical placement, inclination in various directions (such as 45°), and composite angle placement, which cannot always maintain the same angle; the calibration rod moves in the entire workspace, covering at least 80% of the working area, and sufficient position changes are required in three coordinate axis directions (X, Y, Z); the calibration points cannot all be on the same plane or close to the same plane, and data needs to be collected at different height layers, with at least 3 significantly different height layers; the target balls are evenly distributed in the entire workspace, while also covering the boundary positions of the workspace; if any target ball is blocked, the inclination angle of the calibration rod is adjusted and the position is fine-tuned to ensure that both target balls can be observed by the motion capture system and the laser tracker respectively, so as to obtain their spatial position coordinates in the laser tracker coordinate system and the motion capture system coordinate system; after obtaining not less than 6 groups of motion capture target ball and laser tracker target ball coordinate data, the rigid body distance constraint-based optimization method is used to calculate the coordinate system rotation matrix and translation vector between the motion capture system coordinate system and the laser tracker coordinate system; 4-6 motion capture target balls are arranged on the laser projector, and each 4 target balls are not coplanar; thereby constructing a projector rigid body in the motion capture system, tracking and calculating the pose of the projector rigid body in real time by using the motion capture system, and then obtaining the six-degree-of-freedom pose parameters of the laser projector; Step S3: Based on the homogeneous coordinate transformation and projection correction algorithm, the three-dimensional installation position data of the elevator rail support is converted into a two-dimensional projection image; the spatial pose parameter is used to correct the projection deformation, and the corrected projection image is accurately projected to the shaft wall by the laser projector, realizing the digital lofting of the rail support installation point; Step S4: After the preliminary installation of the rail support and the rail is completed, the ideal sample line of the rail installation is projected to the actual installation area in real time by the projector, and the ideal sample line of the rail installation is located at the center line of the two faces opposite to the two rails in the theoretically correct installation position. The deviation between the actual installation position and the projected ideal sample line is compared by visual observation, realizing the real-time visual detection of the installation quality; Step S5: Paste the high-reflectivity target sheet for the motion capture system on the rail plane opposite to the shaft center at the same horizontal height of the rail and support installation point. Since one rail is generally supported by two supports, two target sheets will be pasted on each rail. Then, paste high-reflective target sheets at both ends of the rail. The determination of the layout area of the above motion capture system target sheets on the rail is based on the key measurement points of the rail, including (1) two end points, (2) the midpoint of the intersection line of the rail plane opposite to the shaft center and the horizontal plane of the rail and support installation point; The target three-dimensional coordinate data is collected by using the motion capture system; the coordinate deviation matrix of the actual installation position and the design model is calculated, the three-dimensional deviation vector diagram is generated according to the deviation size, and auxiliary correction is performed; the intersection line of the symmetry center plane of the left and right rails of the same floor and the ground is the X direction, and the vertical direction is the Z direction, and the Y direction is determined according to the right-hand rule. When the rail has deviation along the X direction, the position of the rail adjustable pressing block in the support fine adjustment device is adjusted for correction; when the rail has deviation along the Y direction or the verticality has deviation, the thickness of the gasket is adjusted for correction; Step S6: After the installation and correction of the adjacent two sections of rails are completed, the working platform is lifted to the top of the installed rails, and the working platform cooperates with the rails through the sliding shoes fixedly connected thereto during the lifting process; the motion capture camera array receives the shaft reference coordinate data from the laser tracker, and the coordinate system calibration is performed again; the digital construction process of steps S2 to S5 is circularly executed to ensure the consistency of the whole shaft installation precision.
[0033] During the lifting of the working platform to the next construction section, the position of the motion capture system also changes, and after the motion capture system coordinate system calibration is performed, the motion capture system can be used for rail positioning and auxiliary installation.

[0036] As a preferred scheme, the three-dimensional geometric transformation algorithm in step S3 includes coordinate conversion, projection correction and image optimization to ensure that the projection pattern completely matches the construction position: (1) The three-dimensional coordinates of the rail support and the shaft installation point when the rail support is in the ideal correct position are converted to the projector coordinate system through the homogeneous transformation matrix; (2) The three-dimensional coordinates are projected to the two-dimensional image plane by using the intrinsic matrix of the projector; (3) The image distortion caused by the projection angle is compensated by the trapezoidal correction algorithm; (4) The projection image is subjected to high-contrast enhancement processing to ensure clear visibility under different environmental light conditions.
[0037] As a preferred solution, the projector in step S4 is a high-brightness laser projector equipped with automatic focusing and trapezoidal correction functions, and the projected image can be updated in real time to realize dynamic projection and clearly display the lofting reference line under complex lighting conditions.
[0038] As a preferred solution, the key point coordinate registration algorithm in step S5 is used for filtering and optimization of the target ball position data, and the deviation analysis result is displayed in real time in the form of a three-dimensional vector diagram, which specifically includes: (1) Noise filtering and outlier elimination are performed on the collected target three-dimensional coordinate points; (2) Initial registration is performed based on the target coordinates, a corresponding point set is established, and a rigid body is established to obtain the six-degree-of-freedom pose information of the guide rail; (3) Through iterative optimization, a transformation matrix between the actual installation position and the design position is calculated; (4) The matching result is filtered with historical data to eliminate transient fluctuations.
[0039] The hierarchical correction strategy in step S5 includes: (1) When the deviation is within the allowable range, the system records but does not adjust; (2) When the deviation in the X direction exceeds the first threshold value, the guide rail adjustable pressure block in the support fine adjustment device is adjusted to correct the deviation; (3) When the deviation in the Y direction and the perpendicularity exceed the first threshold value, the thickness of the guide rail gasket is adjusted to correct the deviation; (4) When the deviation exceeds the second threshold value, the system issues an alarm to require reinstallation of the support and correction; (5) After correction, the system automatically records the deviation values before and after correction to form quality traceability data.
