[0019] At present, in the use process of the elevator, in a specific period such as the peak period of taking the elevator, the elevator congestion is easy to be caused, and when the elevator is idle, multiple elevators still operate normally, which wastes a lot of power resources, and the use efficiency of the elevator is low.

[0020] The core of the intelligent building is the 5A system, including OA: office automation system; CA: communication automation system; FA: fire automation system; SA: security automation system; and BA: building automation control system.

In the present application, an elevator applicable to the intelligent building is provided, which networks the elevator, breaks through the communication link between the elevator and external devices such as the cloud, and can solve the conflict problem of various devices (people or things) in the use of the elevator, so as to improve the use efficiency of the elevator.

[0021] To make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical scheme in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor are within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0026] In the prior art, elevators are generally controlled by users operating buttons, and other devices besides humans (such as robots and unmanned vehicles) cannot control the elevator. Elevators cannot communicate with other external device systems and cannot be dispatched by other intelligent devices and systems. The control and management of elevator resource usage lacks coordination and intelligence. Mobile intelligent devices (such as unmanned vehicles) will encounter conflicts such as resource preemption when using elevators, which wastes a lot of time when using elevators. It is easy to cause users to spend a lot of time waiting for crowded elevators when there are idle elevators, and the efficiency of elevator use is low. The present application provides an elevator that connects existing elevators to the Internet and can improve the efficiency of elevator use based on the use of tracking data of elevator car movements.

[0027] The following describes in detail the technical solutions provided by various embodiments of the present application in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0028] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of an elevator provided by an exemplary embodiment of the present application. Figure 1 As shown, the elevator 100 includes: a car 101, a driving device 102, a control device 103, and a communication device 104, wherein:

[0029] A driving device 102 connected to the car 101;

[0030] The control device 103 is connected to the driving device 102 and is used to control the driving device 102 to output corresponding power to drive the car 101 to move;

[0031] The communication device 104 is connected to the control device 103 and is used to exchange information with external devices to receive communication data sent by external devices and / or send tracking data of car movements to external devices, so that the external devices can make corresponding decisions based on the tracking data.

[0032] In addition to the aforementioned elevator car and various devices, an elevator may also include, but is not limited to, the following components: a traction system, a guide system, a door system, a weight-balancing system, and a safety protection system. Specifically, the drive unit outputs power to the traction system, which in turn drives the car up and down. The car moves up and down along the track provided by the guide system.

[0033] In this embodiment, the communication device 104 may be an expansion circuit connected to the control device 103. Generally, the control device 103 is located in a computer room of a building. The communication device 104 may be connected to an interface of the control device 103 in the computer room to enable information exchange between the control device 103 and external devices. The communication device 104 may be located in or near the computer room.

[0034] In a specific implementation, the communication device 104 and the external device may be connected via a wireless or wired network. If the communication device 104 and the external device are connected via a mobile network, the mobile network standard may be any one of 4G (LTE), 4G+ (LTE+), 5G, etc. Optionally, the communication device 104 and the external device may also be connected via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth.

[0035] The external device in this embodiment can be a server that provides information exchange services in a network environment. In physical implementation, the external device can be any device that can provide computing services, respond to service requests, and perform processing. Examples include conventional servers, cloud servers, cloud hosts, and virtual centers. The server's components primarily include a processor, hard drive, memory, and system bus, similar to a general computer architecture.

[0036] The tracking data of the car movement in the embodiment can include information such as the running time, the running duration, the running direction of the car movement, and can also include various information related to the car movement of the elevator, such as the current floor of the elevator, the destination floor, the current load, and the like.

[0037] Optionally, the tracking data of the car movement further includes alarm information triggered abnormally by the car movement.

[0038] The external device can obtain the running rule of the elevator based on the analysis of the tracking data of the car movement, wherein the running rule includes at least one of the following: a peak passenger flow period and an idle period of the elevator.

[0039] The corresponding decision made by the external device according to the tracking data in the embodiment can be: automatically starting multiple elevators to serve the passengers during the peak passenger flow period, and automatically closing part of the elevators to save power consumption during the idle period of the elevator. That is, the elevator provided by the application can realize information interaction with the external device, so as to ensure that the external device can obtain the tracking data of the car of the elevator and analyze the tracking data to realize control of the running state of the elevator and adjustment of the position of the elevator. The running state includes the start-stop state of the elevator, and the position of the elevator can be the floor position of the elevator.

[0040] The scheme provided in the embodiment proposes an elevator including a car 101, a driving device 102, a control device 103, and a communication device 104, wherein the communication device 104 is connected with the control device 103, and is used for information interaction with an external device to receive communication data sent by the external device and / or send tracking data of the car movement to the external device, so as to facilitate the external device to make corresponding decisions according to the tracking data. The scheme of the application can network the elevator, and the elevator can communicate with the external device through the communication device 104. The external device can obtain the tracking data of the car movement in real time, analyze the tracking data, and make corresponding decisions, which can further solve the conflict problem of various devices (people or objects) when using the elevator, and improve the use efficiency of the elevator.

[0041] The control device 103 in the embodiment can include: an elevator telegram unit; the first interface is arranged on the elevator telegram unit; and the communication device 104 is electrically connected to the elevator telegram unit through the first interface.

[0042] In specific implementation, the first interface can be an original interface on the control device 103 for the elevator manufacturer to make maintenance and debugging of the elevator. The type of the first interface can include at least one of the following: a network interface, a serial port, and a USB interface. The type of the serial port can be RS232, RS485, or the like.

[0043] Optionally, the communication device 104 comprises:

[0044] a second interface, electrically connected with the first interface;

[0045] a third interface, configured to be communicatively connected with an external device;

[0046] a conversion circuit, arranged between the second interface and the third interface, configured to perform data conversion on the communication data obtained through the third interface, and transmit the converted communication data to the control device 103 through the second interface; and / or perform data conversion on the tracking data obtained through the second interface, and transmit the converted tracking data through the third interface.

[0047] Optionally, the communication device 104 and the external device (such as an elevator cloud server) use a standard network communication protocol (HTTP, TCP, MQTT, etc.), which converts the private protocol information of each brand of elevator into a unified data format and sends it to the external device. The communication device 104 is responsible for the bidirectional conversion between the elevator private protocol and the corresponding protocol of the external device.

[0048] In some optional embodiments of the present application, the data communication between the communication device 104 and the control device 103 complies with the internal protocol of the corresponding elevator of the control device 103. Different brands of elevators use different protocols, and the communication device 104 can obtain the tracking data of the elevator through the protocol and can send control commands to the control device 103. Among them, the internal protocol of the elevator here can include: the format of the data when the control device 103 and the communication device 104 perform data interaction, and / or the specific meaning of each field in the data packet based on the format.

[0049] For example, the protocol for elevator brand A is: the Mth field represents the elevator's operating time, and the Nth field represents the elevator's corresponding identifier; the protocol for elevator brand B is: the Pth field represents the elevator's operating time, and the Qth field represents the elevator's corresponding identifier. When performing data conversion on tracking data obtained via the second interface, the conversion circuit may convert the protocols for both elevator brands A and B into a format identical to that used by an external device (e.g., a server). For example, the protocols for both elevator brands A and B may be converted into a format in which the Xth field represents the elevator's operating time, and the Yth field represents the elevator's corresponding identifier. Similarly, when performing data conversion on communication data obtained via the third interface, the conversion circuit may convert the uniform format of the communication data received from the third interface into a format corresponding to the elevator brand to which the communication data corresponds. If the communication data corresponds to elevator brand A, the conversion circuit converts the format of the communication data received from the third interface into a format corresponding to elevator brand A. If the communication data corresponds to elevator brand B, the conversion circuit converts the format of the communication data received from the third interface into a format corresponding to elevator brand B.

[0050] The solution of this application introduces Internet of Things (IoT) technology, which is based on the Internet. The IoT is an extension and expansion of the Internet, enabling communication between objects. The embodiments of this application connect existing elevators to the Internet, enabling real-time monitoring of elevator car movement tracking data, enabling further decision-making and improving elevator efficiency based on the use of tracking data.

For example, when an autonomous driving vehicle needs to use an elevator, it can control the elevator through the interface provided by the server.

[0091] In the above 303, “making a corresponding decision based on the tracking data of at least one elevator” includes:

[0092] 3031. Analyze the tracking data to obtain the operating rules of at least one elevator;

[0093] 3032. Determine a control plan for at least one elevator using the operating rules;

[0094] The operating rules include at least one of the following: peak elevator usage hours and elevator idle hours.

[0095] See also Figure 6 As shown, after the server 201 is connected to the elevator 100, the elevator service system can be used to store the relevant logs of the tracking data, and the historical log data can be used for training analysis to facilitate further elevator scheduling; the navigation service system in the server 201 can provide navigation data for autonomous mobile devices.

[0096] Optionally, the method further comprises:

[0097] 304. Receive an elevator ride request sent by the first target object;

[0098] 305. Determine the corresponding target elevator based on the elevator request and tracking data, and generate a control plan for the target elevator;

[0108] Determining a reservation status of at least one candidate elevator, wherein the reservation status includes a total weight of a target object for which the elevator has been reserved;

[0109] If the sum of the total weight and the weight of the first target object is less than the maximum load capacity of the candidate elevator, the candidate elevator may be used as the target elevator.

[0110] If the sum of the total weight and the weight of the first target object exceeds the maximum load capacity of the alternative elevators, a reservation failure prompt message is sent to the first target object.

[0123] 3010. If the device type corresponding to the elevator time information matches the type of the first target object, start the program to determine the corresponding target elevator based on the elevator request and tracking data; if they do not match, determine the second elevator guidance information based on the elevator request; and send the second elevator guidance information to the first target object.

[0124] The device type corresponding to the elevator time information can be determined in combination with the type of building, and the types of buildings can include the following: residential buildings, office buildings, and teaching buildings.

[0125] For different types of buildings, different types of equipment may correspond to different elevator riding time information. The correspondence between the elevator riding time information and the equipment type may be related to the peak elevator riding hours corresponding to different types of equipment.

[0126] For example, in an office building, 9:00 AM to 10:00 AM is the peak working hours for employees. Therefore, the device type corresponding to the time period between 9:00 AM and 10:00 AM is user terminals. Therefore, during this time period, elevators should be dispatched first to users corresponding to user terminals.

[0127] In this case, if the type of the first target object is a user terminal, a program is started to determine the corresponding target elevator based on the elevator request and tracking data;

[0128] If the first target object is an autonomous mobile device, second elevator boarding guidance information is determined based on the elevator boarding request, and the second elevator boarding guidance information is sent to the first target object. The second elevator boarding guidance information may include a recommended elevator boarding time for the autonomous mobile device (e.g., 11:00 AM) to reduce the pressure on employees caused by autonomous mobile devices during peak elevator hours.

[0129] Based on the solution of this application, as the elevator runs, the server can continuously collect data on relevant target objects (for example, periodic regular data on the use of elevators by people, vehicles, and objects). Through data training and analysis, relevant models can be established to gradually optimize the scheduling plan, thereby improving the efficiency of elevator use.

[0130] The “determining the second elevator boarding guidance information according to the elevator boarding request” in 3010 above includes:

[0131] The elevator boarding request is input into a preset model for analysis to obtain second elevator boarding guidance information, where the second elevator boarding guidance information includes at least one of the following:

[0132] an elevator usage index of at least one elevator and a recommended elevator usage time corresponding to the type of the first target object;

[0133] Among them, the elevator index is used to represent the crowdedness of the elevator, and the preset model is a machine learning model trained using a training sample set.

[0134] During the operation of the elevator, operation failures may occasionally occur. The above method further includes: obtaining abnormal information of at least one elevator through a communication link, and sending an alarm message to a second target object based on the abnormal information.

[0135] Specifically, the above-mentioned abnormal information can be the fault information of the elevator, and can also be the information of the failure of the connection between the control device and the communication device; the second target object can be the terminal device of the elevator maintenance party.

[0136] In order to prevent malware from interfering with the normal operation of the elevator, the data exchange process between the first target object and the server may involve verification of the identity of the first target object. The above-mentioned elevator boarding request also includes: authentication information corresponding to the first target object;

[0137] The above method also includes: verifying the authentication information, and if the authentication information passes the verification, starting a program to determine the corresponding target elevator based on the elevator request and tracking data.

[0138] In some optional embodiments of the present application, the above-mentioned authentication information may be key information, and the process of verifying the authentication information may be a decryption process.

[0139] The solution provided in the embodiment of the present application connects elevators to the Internet. The elevator can communicate with the server through a communication device. The server can obtain tracking data of the car movement in real time, and can analyze the tracking data based on the obtained elevator request to make corresponding decisions. It can configure a solution for users that saves more time and energy consumption of the elevator, thereby improving the efficiency of elevator use.
