AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

In existing technology, the passenger flow threshold of escalators is set to a fixed value, which may cause congestion or even stampede accidents when passenger flow increases during holidays.

Method used

An adaptive energy-saving escalator operation control system that detects passenger flow is adopted. The system monitors passenger flow in real time through a data acquisition module. Combined with an energy-saving control module and a predictive maintenance module, it dynamically adjusts the start-stop and running speed of the escalator, constructs a dynamic threshold model, and calculates passenger flow thresholds based on different time types, external factors, and intraday cycles to achieve adaptive control of the escalator.

Benefits of technology

It effectively reduces energy consumption, extends equipment life, reduces mechanical friction and fatigue wear, avoids congestion and stampede accidents, and improves operation and maintenance efficiency and overall service efficiency.

Abstract

The invention discloses an escalator self-adaptive energy-saving operation control system and method for detecting passenger flow volume, relates to the technical field of intelligent control, and solves the problems that in the prior art, when the passenger flow volume is compared with a threshold value, the threshold value is generally set to be a fixed value, and when the passenger flow volume is increased in holidays and festivals, the passenger flow volume is likely to be jammed, and the safety of the escalator is influenced. Severely, stampede accidents may occur. According to the method, the data sensor is used for collecting the passenger flow entering the escalator area, and the real-time passenger flow is obtained; starting and stopping control is conducted on the escalator according to the real-time passenger flow volume; the running speed of the escalator is adjusted according to the real-time passenger flow volume; predicting the passenger flow volume according to the historical passenger flow volume; determining the operation and maintenance detection time of the escalator according to the prediction result; starting and stopping are controlled, and the running speed can be adjusted according to the real-time passenger flow volume. Moderate speed reduction can bring an exponential-level energy-saving effect; the electric charge expenditure is directly reduced, and meanwhile the service life of equipment is prolonged.
