[0048] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of this application more clear, the following further describes this application in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain this application and are not intended to limit this application.

[0049] like Figure 1 The figure below shows the connections between the various devices and modules in a traditional elevator electric brake release solution. Traditional solutions use switches or connectors to directly switch the brake power line. In the figure, the STOP button (emergency stop) and FLS (Final Limit Switches) are located in the safety circuit, which can also include other switches such as overspeed switches. The DS (Door Switch) is located in the door lock circuit, which can also include a hall door lock safety switch. When both the safety and door lock circuits are normal, the main control module controls the brake power supply and contactor, respectively, to open and close the brake. If the safety circuit or door lock fails, the brake power line can be manually switched and the brake power output can be manually controlled. While the traditional switching operation is simple, it is prone to false triggering. The operation also lacks feedback and relies heavily on operator experience, resulting in poor safety.

[0050] In one embodiment, Figure 2As shown, a method for releasing the brake of an elevator is provided, and the method is applied to a safety device; the safety device is respectively used to connect the elevator motor, the main control module, the brake power module and the brake device; the safety device is also used to connect the safety circuit and the door lock circuit respectively; the safety device includes at least one trigger switch and a connection switch provided between the brake device and the brake power module; the method includes:

[0051] Step 210: If a disconnection signal from the safety circuit is received, the output torque of the elevator motor is cut off and the connection switch is disconnected;

[0052] Specifically, if Figure 3 As shown, the main control module is respectively connected to the brake power module and the safety device, and can control the brake power module and the safety device respectively; wherein, compared with the safety device in the traditional solution which is only implemented by electromechanical devices such as switches / circuit breakers, the safety device in this application can be implemented by electrical / electronic / programmable electronic components. The safety device is respectively connected to the brake power module and the brake device, and the safety device can control the on and off of the connection switch in a programmable manner to control the power supply of the brake device by the brake power module. The safety device is respectively connected to the safety circuit and the door lock circuit to access the safety circuit signal and the door lock circuit signal, wherein the safety circuit is the circuit where the STOP button (emergency stop button) and the FLS (Final Limit Switches) switch lock are located, and the door lock circuit is the circuit where the DS switch (Disconnector) is located. The safety circuit and the door lock circuit can input signals to the safety device in parallel. As shown Figure 4 As shown, the safety circuit and the door lock circuit can also be connected in series to input signals to the safety device. The safety device can include at least one trigger switch. Upon receiving a disconnect signal from the safety circuit, the safety device can cut off the output torque of the elevator motor and disconnect the connection switch between the brake device and the brake power module, thereby cutting off the power supply from the brake power module to the brake device.

[0053] In some examples, the safety device may include two or more trigger switches to reduce the complexity of operation and improve the fault tolerance of the instructions or signals generated by each trigger switch; for example, the safety device may include a first trigger switch and a second trigger switch, and the first trigger switch S1-2 of the safety device, the second trigger switch S2-2 of the safety device, the release switch S1-1 of the brake power module, and the release switch S2-1 of the brake power module can all be independent single-pole double-throw switches; since the present application changes the switching of the power line into signal switching compared to the traditional solution, the first trigger switch S1-2 of the safety device and the second trigger switch S2-2 of the safety device in the present application can be merged with the original release switch of the brake power supply. For example, the first trigger switch S1-2 of the safety device and the switch S1-1 of the brake power module can be two single-pole double-throw switches in the same double-pole double-throw switch or share different contacts of the same switch, and the second trigger switch S2-2 of the safety device and the switch S2-1 of the brake power module can be two single-pole double-throw switches in the same double-pole double-throw switch or share different contacts of the same switch.

[0054] Step 220: If an electric brake release switching instruction is obtained when a closing signal of the door lock circuit is received, the electric brake release state is entered and a current state signal is output to the main control module; the electric brake release switching instruction includes instructions generated by each trigger switch operating according to a first preset timing sequence;

[0055] Specifically, when the safety device receives a closing signal from the door lock circuit, it can be determined that the circuit of the hall door and floor door system is closed. If the safety device obtains an electric release switching instruction, the safety device can enter the electric release state, set the current state signal to the electric release state, and transmit the current state signal to the main control module; the electric release switching instruction can include instructions generated by each trigger switch according to a first preset timing. By operating each trigger switch according to the first preset timing, the above-mentioned electric release switching instruction can be generated.

[0056] Step 230: If the duration of the electric release state reaches the first preset time and no signal or instruction output by each trigger switch is obtained within the first preset time, the safe state is entered and the current state signal is output to the main control module.

[0057] Specifically, if the duration of the electric release state reaches a first preset time, and the safety device does not obtain the signal or instruction output by each trigger switch within the first preset time, indicating that the electric release state of the safety device has timed out, the safety device can enter a safe state, set the current state signal to a safe state, and transmit the current state signal to the main control module.

[0058] In some examples, if the duration of the electric brake release state does not reach the preset time and the safety device does not receive a brake release signal, the safety device continues to maintain the electric brake release state until a first preset time is reached.

[0059] In the embodiment of the present application, if the safety device receives a disconnect signal from the safety circuit, the safety device cuts off the output torque of the elevator motor and disconnects the connection switch; if the safety device receives a closing signal from the door lock circuit, the safety device obtains an electric release switching instruction, enters the electric release state, and outputs the current state signal to the main control module; wherein, the electric release switching instruction requires each trigger switch to operate according to a first preset timing to be generated, which can effectively avoid false triggering; after switching, it is also necessary to continue the operation to turn on the brake power line, and even if it is triggered by mistake, the power line will not be always connected; if the duration of the electric release state of the safety device reaches the first preset time, it enters the safe state, and outputs the current state signal to the main control module, which is convenient for operation. The electric release of the elevator is achieved by switching the signal. The safety device is cost-effective and maintainable, and at the same time improves the safety during operation.

[0060] In one embodiment, Figure 5 As shown, the method further includes:

[0061] Step 510: If a release signal is obtained when the duration of the electric release state is less than a first preset time, the output torque of the elevator motor is cut off and the connecting switch is closed; the release signal includes a signal generated by closing all trigger switches;

[0062] Step 520: If the time of continuously receiving the brake release signal reaches the second preset time, the safe state is entered and the current state signal is output to the main control module.

[0063] Specifically, if the safety device obtains a release signal when the duration of the safety device in the electric release state is less than the first preset time, the safety device can cut off the output torque of the elevator motor and close the connection switch between the brake device and the brake power module to turn on the power supply of the brake power module to the brake device; if the safety device continues to receive the release signal for a second preset time, the safety device times out when receiving the release signal, and the safety device enters a safe state, sets the current state signal to a safe state, and outputs the current state signal to the main control module.

[0064] In some examples, such as Figure 6As shown, when the safety device is in a normal state, it can determine whether the safety circuit is disconnected by receiving a signal from the safety circuit; when receiving a disconnection signal from the safety circuit, the safety device can cut off the output torque of the elevator motor and disconnect the power output of the brake power module to the brake device; the safety device can determine whether the hall door level system is disconnected by receiving a signal from the door lock circuit; when the safety device receives a disconnection signal from the door lock circuit, the output torque of the elevator motor is kept in a cut-off state, and the power output of the brake power module to the brake device is kept in a disconnected state; when the safety device receives a closing signal from the door lock circuit, if an electric brake release switching command is received, the safety device can enter the electric brake release state; if the safety device If the duration of the safety device being in the electric release state reaches a first preset time, the safety device can enter the safe state; if the duration of the safety device being in the electric release state is less than the first preset time, the safety device obtains a release signal, the safety device can cut off the output torque of the elevator motor and turn on the power output of the brake power supply module to the brake device; if the safety device continuously receives the release signal for a second preset time, the safety device can enter the safe state, otherwise the safety device keeps the output torque of the elevator motor in the cut-off state when receiving the release signal, and the power output of the brake power supply module to the brake device is in the on state until the release signal continuously received by the safety device times out, and the safety device enters the safe state.

[0065] In one embodiment, Figure 7 As shown, the method further includes:

[0066] Step 710: When the output torque of the elevator motor is cut off and the connection switch is disconnected, if an electric brake release switching instruction is obtained, the electric brake release state is entered and the current state signal is output to the main control module;

[0067] Step 720: When receiving the disconnection signal of the door lock circuit, if the duration of the electric release state reaches the first preset time and no signal or instruction output by each trigger switch is obtained within the first preset time, the safe state is entered and the current state signal is output to the main control module.

[0068] Specifically, if the on-site door lock circuit is abnormal, when the safety device cuts off the output torque of the elevator motor and disconnects the connection switch, if the safety device obtains the electric release switching instruction, the safety device can enter the electric release state, set the current state signal to the electric release state, and output the current state signal to the main control module; when the safety device receives the disconnection signal of the door lock circuit, it can be determined that the hall door level system is disconnected. If the duration of the safety device in the electric release state reaches a first preset time, and the safety device does not obtain the signal or instruction output by each trigger switch within the first preset time, the safety device can enter the safe state, set the current state signal to the safe state, and output the current state signal to the main control module.

[0069] In one embodiment, Figure 8 As shown, the method further includes:

[0070] Step 810: If the duration of the electric release state is less than the first preset time, and an emergency release switching instruction is obtained, the emergency release state is entered, and a current state signal is output to the main control module; the emergency release switching instruction includes instructions generated by each trigger switch according to the second preset timing sequence;

[0071] Step 820: If the duration of the emergency release state reaches a third preset time and no signal or instruction output by each trigger switch is obtained within the third preset time, the safe state is entered and the current state signal is output to the main control module.

[0072] Specifically, if the on-site door lock circuit is abnormal, and the duration of the safety device in the electric release state is less than the first preset time, the safety device obtains the emergency release switching instruction, then the safety device can enter the emergency release state, set the current state signal to the emergency release state, and output the current state signal to the main control module; the emergency release switching instruction may include instructions generated by each trigger switch according to the second preset timing, and by operating each trigger switch according to the second preset timing, the above-mentioned emergency release switching instruction can be generated; if the duration of the emergency release state reaches the third preset time, and the safety device does not obtain the signal or instruction output by each trigger switch within the third preset time, indicating that the emergency release state of the safety device has timed out, then the safety device can enter the safe state, set the current state signal to the safe state, and transmit the current state signal to the main control module.

[0073] In one embodiment, Figure 9As shown, the safety device includes a first trigger switch and a second trigger switch; the electric brake release switching instruction includes an instruction generated by the first trigger switch and the second trigger switch according to a first preset time sequence; the emergency brake release switching instruction includes an instruction generated by the first trigger switch and the second trigger switch according to a second preset time sequence; the method further includes:

[0074] Step 910: If a release signal is obtained when the duration of the emergency release state is less than a third preset time, the output torque of the elevator motor is cut off and the connection switch is closed;

[0075] Step 920: If the time of continuously receiving the brake release signal reaches a fourth preset time, the safe state is entered, and the current state signal is output to the main control module.

[0076] Specifically, the electric brake release switching instruction may include an instruction generated by the first trigger switch and the second trigger switch according to a first preset timing, and the electric brake release switching instruction may be generated by operating the first trigger switch and the second trigger switch according to the first preset timing. The emergency brake release switching instruction may include an instruction generated by the first trigger switch and the second trigger switch according to a second preset timing, and the emergency brake release switching instruction may be generated by operating the first trigger switch and the second trigger switch according to the second preset timing. If the on-site door lock circuit is abnormal, and the safety device is in the emergency release state for a duration less than a third preset time, the safety device receives a release signal, then the safety device may cut off the output torque of the elevator motor and close the connection switch between the brake device and the brake power module to conduct the power supply of the brake device to the brake power module; if the safety device continues to receive the release signal for a fourth preset time, the safety device enters a safe state, sets the current state signal to a safe state, and outputs the current state signal to the main control module.

[0077] In one embodiment, Figure 10 As shown, the safety device includes a first trigger switch and a second trigger switch; the electric brake release switching instruction includes an instruction generated by the first trigger switch and the second trigger switch according to a first preset time sequence; the emergency brake release switching instruction includes an instruction generated by the first trigger switch and the second trigger switch according to a second preset time sequence; the method further includes:

[0078] Step 1010: If the duration of the electric release state is less than the first preset time and the door lock circuit disconnect signal is not received, then if the duration of the electric release state reaches the first preset time, the vehicle enters the safe state and outputs the current state signal to the main control module;

[0079] Step 1020: If a release signal is obtained when the duration of the electric release state is less than a first preset time, the output torque of the elevator motor is cut off and the connection switch is closed;

[0080] Step 1030: If the time of continuously receiving the brake release signal reaches a second preset time, the safe state is entered and the current state signal is output to the main control module.

[0081] Specifically, the electric brake release switching instruction may include an instruction generated by the first trigger switch and the second trigger switch according to a first preset timing, and the electric brake release switching instruction may be generated by operating the first trigger switch and the second trigger switch according to the first preset timing. The emergency brake release switching instruction may include an instruction generated by the first trigger switch and the second trigger switch according to a second preset timing, and the emergency brake release switching instruction may be generated by operating the first trigger switch and the second trigger switch according to the second preset timing. If the on-site door lock circuit is abnormal, and the duration of the safety device in the electric brake release state is less than the first preset time, if the safety device does not receive a disconnection signal from the door lock circuit, the safety device may enter a safe state when the duration of the electric brake release state reaches the first preset time, and may set the current state signal to a safe state, and output the current state signal to the main control module. If the safety device obtains a release signal when the duration of time in the electric release state is less than the first preset time, the safety device can cut off the output torque of the elevator motor and close the connection switch between the brake device and the brake power module to turn on the power supply of the brake device to the brake power module; if the time when the safety device receives the release signal reaches the second preset time, the release signal received by the safety device times out, the safety device can enter the safe state, set the current state signal to the safe state, and output the current state signal to the main control module.

[0082] In one embodiment, Figure 11As shown, when the safety device is in a normal state, it can determine whether the safety circuit is disconnected by receiving a signal from the safety circuit; when receiving a disconnection signal from the safety circuit, the safety device can cut off the output torque of the elevator motor and disconnect the power output of the brake power module to the brake device; when the output torque of the elevator motor is cut off and the power output of the brake power module to the brake device is disconnected, if the safety device receives an electric release switching instruction, the safety device can enter the electric release state; the safety device can determine whether the hall door level system is disconnected by receiving a signal from the door lock circuit; when the safety device receives a disconnection signal from the door lock circuit, if the duration of the safety device in the electric release state reaches a first preset time and the safety device does not obtain a signal or instruction output by each trigger switch within the first preset time, the safety device can enter the safe state; if the duration of the safety device in the electric release state is less than the first preset time and an emergency release switching instruction is obtained, the safety device can enter the emergency release state; if the duration of the safety device in the emergency release state reaches a third preset time and the safety device does not obtain a signal or instruction output by each trigger switch within the third preset time, the safety device can to enter a safe state; if the duration of the safety device in the emergency release state is less than the third preset time, and a release signal is obtained, the safety device can cut off the output torque of the elevator motor and turn on the power output of the brake power module to the brake device; if the time of continuously receiving the release signal reaches a fourth preset time, the safety device can enter a safe state; if the duration of the safety device in the electric release state is less than the first preset time, if no disconnection signal of the door lock circuit is received, then when the duration of the safety device in the electric release state reaches the first preset time, the safety device can enter Safety state; if a release signal is received while the safety device is in the electric release state for less than a first preset time, the safety device may cut off the output torque of the elevator motor and turn on the power output of the brake power module to the brake device; if the safety device continues to receive the release signal for a second preset time, the safety device may enter the safety state. Otherwise, upon receiving the release signal, the safety device maintains the output torque of the elevator motor in the cut-off state and the power output of the brake power module to the brake device in the on state until the release signal received by the safety device times out, at which point the safety device enters the safety state.
