Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of elevators, and more particularly to a method, apparatus, device, and storage medium for setting up an elevator frequency converter. Background Technology

[0002] A frequency converter is an instrument specifically designed for elevator control. The frequency converter controls the elevator in an S-shape, meaning that the acceleration is relatively gentle during startup and shutdown, while the acceleration is faster during the middle phase, balancing passenger comfort and energy saving.

[0003] Currently, the choice of which frequency converter to configure for an elevator mainly relies on the engineer's experience. However, human judgment by engineers is prone to errors. Configuring a more powerful frequency converter for an elevator is more expensive, and if the performance is excessive, it leads to waste. Configuring a less powerful frequency converter for an elevator, if the performance is insufficient, will cause the elevator to operate under overload for a long time, making it prone to failure.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0079] It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," etc., in the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings of this invention are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such data can be interchanged where appropriate so that the embodiments of the invention described herein can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein. Furthermore, the terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion; for example, a process, method, system, product, or apparatus that comprises a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units explicitly listed, but may include other steps or units not explicitly listed or inherent to such processes, methods, products, or apparatus.

[0080] Example 1

[0081] Figure 1 This is a flowchart of a method for setting an elevator frequency converter according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. This embodiment is applicable to exploring the relationship between the elevator's operating environment and the state of the frequency converter, thereby setting the power of the frequency converter according to this relationship. This method can be executed by an elevator frequency converter setting device, which can be implemented in hardware and / or software, and can be configured in an electronic device. Figure 1 As shown, the method includes:

[0082] Step 101: Collect various raw environmental data and various raw state data recorded simultaneously during elevator operation.

[0083] In this embodiment, some elevators can be set as samples for excavation. When these elevators are running normally, their operation data are recorded simultaneously, and various original environmental data and various original state data are divided into them.

[0084] The raw environmental data is used to describe the environment in which the elevator is located.

[0085] For example, the raw environmental data includes at least one of the following:

[0086] Scene (e.g., commercial, residential), number of floors, load capacity, number of runs, starting floor, arrival floor, and time.

[0087] The raw state data is used to describe parameters related to the power of the frequency converter in the elevator.

[0088] For example, the raw state data includes at least one of the following:

[0089] Bus input current, bus input voltage, starting current, output current, output voltage, and temperature.

[0090] In practical applications, the environment in which the elevator operates will affect the frequency, duration and load of the elevator. The load will affect the current of the motor in the frequency converter. The frequency and duration of use will cause the temperature rise of the frequency converter (especially when the power module in the frequency converter is mismatched with the power of the motor, it is more likely to cause abnormal temperature). All of these factors may lead to frequency converter failure.

[0091] Of course, the above-mentioned original environmental data and original state data are merely examples. When implementing the embodiments of the present invention, other original environmental data and original state data can be set according to the actual situation, and the embodiments of the present invention do not impose any limitations on this. In addition, besides the above-mentioned original environmental data and original state data, those skilled in the art can also use other original environmental data and original state data according to actual needs, and the embodiments of the present invention do not impose any limitations on this.

[0092] Furthermore, one or more dimensions of the observed elevator can be determined. That is, a large amount of raw environmental data and raw state data can be accumulated in elevators with the same one or more dimensions, so as to explore the relationship between the elevator's operating environment (i.e., raw environmental data) and the inverter's state (i.e., raw state data) under these one or more dimensions.

[0093] For example, this dimension includes type and model. The type of elevator is also known as the elevator type, and the model of the elevator can be set by the elevator design and / or manufacturing manufacturer. Under a given type and model, the hardware of the elevator is basically the same, which can eliminate the influence of hardware differences to a certain extent and can better ensure the accuracy of mining the relationship between the elevator's operating environment and the state of the frequency converter.

[0094] Based on their power source, elevators can be categorized as follows:

[0095] 1. AC elevator

[0096] Elevators that use AC induction motors as their driving force can be further classified according to their drive method, such as AC single-speed, AC dual-speed, AC voltage-regulating speed control, and AC variable voltage frequency speed control.

[0097] 2. DC elevator

[0098] Elevators that use DC motors as their driving force generally have a rated speed of 2.00 m / s or higher.

[0099] 3. Hydraulic elevator

[0100] Generally, it refers to an elevator that uses an electric pump to drive the flow of liquid and a plunger to raise and lower the car.

[0101] 4. Gear and rack elevator

[0102] An elevator is an elevator in which the guide rails are machined into racks, the car is fitted with gears that mesh with the racks, and the motor drives the gears to rotate, thus raising and lowering the car.

[0103] 5. Screw elevator

[0104] The plunger of the direct-drive elevator is machined into a rectangular thread, and a large nut with a thrust bearing is installed on the top of the cylinder. Then, the nut is rotated by a motor via a reducer (or belt), thereby causing the screw to lift the elevator car up or down.

[0105] 6. Linear motor

[0106] An elevator driven by a linear motor is powered by a linear motor.

[0107] Of course, in addition to type and model, other dimensions can be set, such as service life, etc. This embodiment does not limit this.

[0108] By collecting raw environmental data and raw state data simultaneously recorded during elevator operation under the same dimension, a mapping relationship is established between the dimension and the raw environmental data and raw state data.

[0109] Step 102: Combine one or more original environmental data into a target environment set and combine one or more original state data into a target state set.

[0110] In practical applications, both the original environmental data and the original state data are discrete values ​​and have certain fluctuations. In order to facilitate the exploration of the relationship between the elevator's operating environment and the inverter's state, one or more original environmental data can be selected to form a target environment set, and one or more original state data can be selected to form a target state set.

[0111] In a practical implementation, one or more first intervals can be set for each type of raw environmental data, and the values ​​of the raw environmental data within a unit of time (such as one minute) can be statistically analyzed. The values ​​of the raw environmental data within a unit of time are then compared with the one or more first intervals.

[0112] If the value of the original environmental data within a unit of time is located in one or more preset first intervals, then the original environmental data is determined to be the target environmental data. For easy identification, a label can be configured for each target environmental data, denoted as an environmental label. In this way, one or more target environmental data can be combined into a target environment set in a permutation and combination manner. Then, the target environment set is a set of environmental labels.

[0113] In addition, one or more second intervals can be set for each type of raw state data, and the values ​​of the raw state data within a unit of time (such as one minute) can be statistically analyzed and compared with the values ​​of the raw state data within a unit of time.

[0114] If the value of the original state data within a unit of time is located in one or more preset second intervals, then the original state data is determined to be the target state data. For easy identification, a label can be configured for each target state data, denoted as a state label. One or more target state data are combined into a target state set according to permutation and combination. Then, the target state set is the set of state labels.

[0115] In one example, the raw environmental data and its corresponding first interval are shown in the table below. The values ​​of the raw environmental data (such as the average value) are calculated for each minute. If a value matches the first interval, the corresponding environmental label is assigned to it.

[0116] Raw environmental data First section Environmental Labels Number of runs Less than 10 A1 Number of runs Greater than 10, less than 20 A2 Total runtime Less than 10 B2 Load capacity Less than 10 C1 Load capacity Greater than 10, less than 20 C2 …… …… ……

[0117] In addition, the original state data and its corresponding second interval are shown in the table below. The values ​​of the original state data (such as the average value) are counted every minute. If the value matches the second interval, the corresponding state label is assigned to it.

[0118] Original state data Second section Status Label Output current Less than 30 D1 Output current Greater than 30, less than 40 D2 Output voltage Less than 200 E1 Output voltage Greater than 200, less than 300 E2 …… …… ……

[0119] Step 103: Using the target environment set as the anchor point, mine the association rules between the target environment set and the target state set during elevator operation.

[0120] In this embodiment, the target environment set can be set as the anchor point, and then the association rules between the target environment set and the target state set during elevator operation can be mined by algorithms such as Apriori. That is, given the target environment set, the target state set that has a significant correlation with the target environment set during elevator operation is mined, so that the two form an association rule.

[0121] In practical implementation, considering that the target environment set and the target state set are usually co-occurring when there is a significant correlation, the co-occurrence of the target environment set and the target state set can be analyzed in all elevator operation data to calculate the confidence level of the occurrence of the target state set when the target environment set occurs during elevator operation.

[0122] For example, on the one hand, the number N of the first item set that appears when the elevator is running but does not appear when the target environment set appears can be counted; on the other hand, the number n of the second item set that appears when the elevator is running and the target environment set appears when the target state set appears can be counted.

[0123] Calculate the ratio n / N between the second term set n and the first term set N, and use it as the confidence level for the occurrence of the target state set when the target environment set occurs during elevator operation.

[0124] For example, in the table above, if the target environment set is {A1, B2, C1} and the target state set is {D1, E2}, count the number of first item sets N where {A1, B2, C1} appears but {D1, E2} does not appear, and the number of second item sets n where {A1, B2, C1, D1, E2} appears. Then, the confidence level of {D1, E2} appearing when {A1, B2, C1} appears is n / N.

[0125] The confidence level is compared with a preset confidence condition, which can be set according to actual business needs, such as a confidence level greater than a threshold, a confidence level of the maximum value, etc.

[0126] If the confidence level meets the confidence condition, then the target environment set and the target state set can be selected to establish an association rule.

[0127] For example, for the table above, assuming the association rule {A1, B2, C1} → {D1, E2} holds, this association rule means that when the elevator runs less than 10 times per minute, the total running time is less than 10, and the average load rate is less than 10, the input current of the frequency converter is basically less than 30 and the voltage is basically less than 200.

[0128] Step 104: Set power-related parameters for the frequency converter in the elevator according to the association rules.

[0129] Association rules are the relationship between the operating environment of a portion of the elevators (i.e., the original environment data) and the state of the frequency converter (i.e., the original state data). Therefore, in this embodiment, all elevators can be set as the target of the frequency converter to be adjusted, and parameters related to power, such as current and voltage, can be set for the frequency converter in the elevators with reference to the association rules.

[0130] Furthermore, if multiple raw environmental data and multiple raw state data are collected simultaneously during elevator operation in one or more dimensions (such as type and model), and the relationship between the elevator operation environment (i.e., raw environmental data) and the inverter state (i.e., raw state data) is explored, then association rules can be used to set power-related parameters for the inverters in elevators under the same dimensions (such as type and model).

[0131] In one embodiment of the present invention, step 104 may include the following steps:

[0132] Step 1041: Calculate the frequency of the target environment set in the association rules when the elevator is running.

[0133] The target environment set in the association rule represents different working conditions. In this embodiment, the frequency of occurrence of the target environment set in the association rule during elevator operation can be counted, thereby counting the frequency of occurrence of each working condition during elevator operation.

[0134] Step 1042: If the frequency is greater than the preset threshold, then set the rated values ​​for the power-related parameters in the frequency converter by referring to the target state set in the association rules.

[0135] The frequency of each working condition is compared with a preset threshold. If the frequency of a certain working condition is greater than the threshold, it means that the frequency of that working condition is relatively high and can be considered as the majority of working conditions.

[0136] For example, assuming that all elevator operation conditions follow a normal distribution, and 80% of the operation data (target environment set) are: 25% load, 5 trips per minute, 15-meter travel distance, and 20-second cumulative duration, then this operating condition can be considered the majority of operating conditions.

[0137] Most operating conditions can be used as reference conditions for designing frequency converters, serving as the basis for their design. In this case, the rated values ​​of power-related parameters in the frequency converter can be set by referring to the target state set in the association rules.

[0138] Furthermore, elevators can be clustered using raw environmental data through algorithms such as k-means to obtain multiple categories.

[0139] Match the original environmental data corresponding to the category with the target environment set in the association rules.

[0140] If a match is successful, the rated values ​​of the inverter and power-related parameters for all elevators in the category are set with reference to the target state set in the association rules.

[0141] In one embodiment of the present invention, step 104 may further include the following steps:

[0142] Step 1043: Compare the target environment set in the association rule with the preset environment conditions.

[0143] Step 1044: If the target environment set in the association rule meets the environment conditions, then adjust the rated values ​​of the power-related parameters in the frequency converter according to the method corresponding to the environment conditions.

[0144] In this embodiment, some environmental settings with additional safety requirements can be preset, referred to as environmental conditions. These environmental conditions are associated with adjusting the rated values ​​of power-related parameters in the frequency converter, such as increasing or decreasing the rated values, as a supplement to setting the rated values ​​of power-related parameters in the frequency converter to meet additional safety requirements.

[0145] The target environment set in the association rule is compared with the preset environmental conditions. If the target environment set in the association rule meets the environmental conditions, it means that the environment represented by the target environment set has additional safety requirements. Then, the rated values ​​of the power-related parameters in the frequency converter are adjusted according to the environmental conditions.

[0146] For example, for elevators used in commercial applications, if the load (target environmental set) is close to saturation (environmental conditions), the rated current of the frequency converter (a power-related parameter) can be increased.

[0147] For example, the running time and number of trips of elevators on high floors (target environment set) will be larger (environmental conditions), which can more accurately match the power of the power module and motor (power-related parameters) and reduce module temperature rise.

[0148] In this embodiment, multiple raw environmental data and multiple raw state data are collected simultaneously during elevator operation. The raw environmental data describes the elevator's environment, and the raw state data describes parameters related to the power of the elevator's inverter. One or more sets of raw environmental data are combined to form a target environment set, and one or more sets of raw state data are combined to form a target state set. Using the target environment set as an anchor, association rules between the target environment set and the target state set are mined during elevator operation. Based on these association rules, power-related parameters are set for the elevator's inverter. By statistically analyzing the correlation between the elevator's environment and the inverter's state using big data, power-related parameters in the inverter can be set. This fact-based approach avoids biases in engineers' judgments. Based on these parameters, a suitable inverter can be configured for the elevator, ensuring performance meets the elevator's operational needs, guaranteeing safe operation, and avoiding significant performance overkill, thus reducing costs.
