Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of elevators, and in particular to elevator car control methods, devices, elevators, equipment and storage media. Background Technology

[0002] With the advancement of science and technology and social development, there is a growing demand for elevators in highly customized applications. In these applications, not only are the elevator's basic functions required, but a safer riding experience is also essential. Traditional technology, in the event of an elevator malfunction, often requires rescue personnel to operate the traction machine or brakes to move the elevator to a landing. The elevator's self-rescue process is not under the control of the users inside, preventing them from rescuing themselves immediately after a malfunction.

[0003] There is currently no effective solution to the problem that elevators in related technologies do not support active user control to escape danger during elevator malfunctions. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This embodiment provides an elevator car control method, device, elevator, equipment, and storage medium to solve the problem in related technologies that elevators do not support user-initiated control to escape danger during elevator malfunctions.

[0005] Firstly, this embodiment provides an elevator car control method, the method comprising:

[0006] In response to the rotation of the interactive device inside the elevator car, a rotation interaction signal is generated;

[0007] If the elevator is determined to be in a normal state, the internal environment of the car is controlled or the floor to be reached after the car moves is determined in response to the rotation interaction signal.

[0008] If the elevator is found to be in a faulty state, the working state of the elevator's brake is controlled in response to the rotation interaction signal so that the car moves.

[0009] Once the car has moved to the target position, the car door is opened.

[0010] In some embodiments, controlling the operating state of the elevator's brakes in response to the rotation interaction signal to move the car includes:

[0011] When the elevator experiences a first preset fault, whenever the rotation interaction signal is generated, the working state of the brake is changed from the braking state to the release state, and after a preset time, the working state of the brake is restored to the braking state until the rotation interaction signal is generated again.

[0012] In this embodiment, when the elevator malfunction is classified as a first preset malfunction, self-rescue is achieved through the brake, thus solving the problem that when the elevator host fails, the elevator cannot be driven normally, preventing people in the car from rescuing themselves.

[0013] In some embodiments, controlling the operating state of the elevator's brakes in response to the rotation interaction signal to move the car includes:

[0014] When the elevator experiences a second preset fault, the car is moved to the target position based on a preset speed during the change of the rotation interaction signal.

[0015] This embodiment avoids problems such as incorrect car movement direction or excessive speed due to improper user operation by setting preset speed and target position, thereby improving the safety of people in the elevator during self-rescue in the event of a second preset fault.

[0016] In some embodiments, the method further includes:

[0017] If the elevator is determined to be in the fault state, the fault code generated when the elevator malfunctions is compared with the preset fault code.

[0018] If the elevator malfunction is a preset malfunction, then the step of controlling the working state of the brake to move the car is triggered.

[0019] This embodiment only performs self-rescue when the elevator malfunction is a preset fault. In the event of a self-rescue risk, it controls the working state of the brake to prevent the car from moving, thereby ensuring passenger safety.

[0020] In some embodiments, the interior of the car also includes buttons that, in response to the rotation interaction signal, control the interior environment of the car and / or the floor reached after the car moves, when the elevator is determined to be in a normal state.

[0021] When the elevator is in the normal state, determine whether the button responds to user interaction and generates a pressure interaction signal;

[0022] If the interactive device generates the pressure interactive signal, then in response to the pressure interactive signal, the target environmental device determined among the multiple environmental devices in the car is identified, and in response to the first rotation interactive signal, the operating state of the target environmental device is controlled.

[0023] If the interactive device does not generate the pressure interaction signal, then in response to the rotation interaction signal, the floor reached by the car after movement is determined.

[0024] This embodiment uses pressure and rotation interaction signals generated by the interactive device to achieve environmental control or elevator movement, thus enriching the control functions of the elevator in its normal state.

[0025] In some embodiments, determining that the car has moved to the target position includes:

[0026] Determine the target floor that is closest to the currently described car among multiple floors;

[0027] Obtain the relative position between the current car and the target floor. If the relative position meets the preset conditions, determine that the car has moved to the target position.

[0028] In this embodiment, if the relative position meets the preset conditions, it determines whether the car has moved to the target position, ensuring that the user in the car can safely leave the elevator when the car door opens.

[0029] Secondly, this embodiment provides an elevator car control device, the device comprising:

[0030] The signal acquisition module is used to acquire the rotational interaction signals generated by the interactive device inside the elevator car during rotation.

[0031] The first control module is used to control the internal environment of the car or determine the floor reached after the car moves, in response to the rotation interaction signal when it is determined that the elevator is in a normal state.

[0032] The second control module is used to control the working state of the elevator's brake in response to the rotation interaction signal when it is determined that the elevator is in a fault state, so as to move the car.

[0033] The car door activation module is used to open the car door when the car moves to the target position.

[0034] Thirdly, this embodiment provides an elevator, which includes a car and an elevator car control device, the elevator car control device being used to implement the elevator car control method described in the first aspect above.

[0035] Fourthly, this embodiment provides a computer device including a memory and a processor, wherein the memory stores a computer program, and the processor executes the computer program to implement the elevator car control method described in the first aspect above.

[0036] Fifthly, this embodiment provides a computer-readable storage medium having a computer program stored thereon, which, when executed by a processor, implements the elevator car control method described in the first aspect above.

[0037] Compared with related technologies, the elevator car control method, device, elevator, equipment and storage medium provided in this embodiment control the elevator brake through a rotational interactive signal generated by an interactive device located in the car, so as to realize the movement of the car and the opening of the car door, thus solving the problem that people in the car cannot save themselves in the event of an elevator malfunction.

[0046] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of this application.

[0047] In traditional elevator technology, after an elevator malfunctions, it's necessary to notify and wait for rescue personnel. These personnel then operate the traction machine or brakes to move the elevator to a level area. Because the elevator's self-rescue process is not under the control of the users inside, it can easily cause panic. Furthermore, if rescue personnel cannot reach the user immediately, it can exacerbate panic and may even lead to physiological problems such as oxygen deprivation due to the enclosed space of the elevator car. Therefore, it is necessary to enable users inside the elevator car to actively operate the controls to escape danger in the event of a malfunction.

[0048] Based on the above problems, in one embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, an elevator car control method is provided. This embodiment illustrates the method applied to a terminal. It is understood that this method can also be applied to a server, and further to a system including both a terminal and a server, and is implemented through interaction between the terminal and the server. In this embodiment, the method includes the following steps:

[0049] Step S101: In response to the rotation of the interactive device inside the elevator car, a rotation interactive signal is generated.

[0050] Interactive devices include those that rotate in response to user interaction, such as knobs, spinning balls, and rotating handles. The correspondence between the rotation of the interactive device and the rotation interaction signal is set based on application requirements. For example, the rotation interaction signal generated by the interactive device may be related to the degree of rotation, changing as the degree of rotation of the interactive device changes; it may also be related to the rotation speed, changing as the rotation speed of the interactive device changes; or, the rotation interaction signal may be related to both the degree of rotation and the rotation speed, with different degrees of rotation and rotation speeds of the interactive device generating different rotation interaction signals.

[0051] Step S102: If it is determined that the elevator is in a normal state, respond to the rotation interaction signal to control the internal environment of the car or determine the floor reached after the car moves.

[0052] Optionally, in response to the magnitude, speed of change, and other characteristics of the rotational interaction signal, the internal environment of the car can be controlled and / or the floor to be selected after the car moves.

[0053] Optionally, the elevator's status can be determined based on fault codes: if a fault code is generated, the elevator is considered to be in a fault state; if no fault code is generated, the elevator is considered to be in normal operation. Alternatively, the elevator's control system can perform a self-check to determine if the elevator is in a fault state.

[0054] Step S103: If the elevator is determined to be in a faulty state, the operating state of the elevator's brake is controlled in response to the rotation interaction signal to move the car. The car's movement mode can be set according to requirements. For example, upon receiving the rotation interaction signal, the brake's operating state is controlled to allow the car to move based on preset movement parameters such as movement speed and duration. Alternatively, the movement parameters such as the car's movement speed and duration can be changed in response to changes in the rotation interaction signal.

[0055] In step S104, once the car has moved to the target position, the car door is opened. At the target position, the user can exit the car and enter a safe environment through the opened car door.

[0056] In the aforementioned elevator car control method, when a malfunction is detected in the elevator, the elevator brake is controlled based on the rotation interaction signal generated when the interaction device inside the car rotates, thereby enabling the car to move and the car doors to open. Therefore, in the event of an elevator malfunction, users inside the car do not need to wait for rescue personnel; they can move the car to the target location simply by rotating the interaction device, thus solving the problem of elevator malfunctions not supporting user-initiated control for escaping danger.

[0057] Compared to methods where the elevator self-rescue control interaction device in fault conditions is set up separately from other functional interaction devices, this embodiment integrates elevator floor selection control, internal environment control, and elevator self-rescue control in fault conditions into a single interaction device. Furthermore, only in the event of an elevator malfunction, the working state of the elevator brake is controlled based on the rotational interaction signal generated by the interaction device, thus preventing users from accidentally activating the elevator self-rescue control device and affecting the normal operation of the elevator.

[0058] Because elevator malfunctions can be of various types, moving the car of a malfunctioning elevator using the same method may lead to low efficiency or failure of self-rescue for users, or even threaten passenger safety. Therefore, it is necessary to select the appropriate method to move the car based on the type of malfunction when different elevator malfunctions occur.

[0059] Based on the above requirements, in some embodiments, the elevator car method further includes: when it is determined that the elevator is in a fault state, comparing the fault code generated when the elevator malfunctions with a preset fault code; if the elevator malfunction belongs to the preset fault, then triggering the operation of the control brake to move the car. Specifically, when the elevator is in a preset fault state, the elevator can move the car by controlling the operation of the brake, and this movement will not cause harm to the users inside the car; when the elevator malfunction does not belong to the preset fault, the elevator may face problems such as a broken safety circuit or damage to the lifting equipment, posing a safety hazard to the car's movement, therefore the car does not meet the conditions for safe movement. The preset fault code is the fault code generated by the elevator when it is in a preset fault state.

[0060] Optionally, if the preset fault codes include a fault code generated when the elevator malfunctions, then the elevator malfunction is considered a preset fault; otherwise, the elevator malfunction is not considered a preset fault. If the elevator malfunction is not a preset fault, moving the car will pose a safety hazard, and the step of controlling the brake to move the car will not be triggered. In this embodiment, the elevator car is moved in response to the rotation interaction signal generated by the interaction device only when the elevator malfunction is a preset fault, thereby improving the safety of the elevator self-rescue process.

[0061] In some embodiments, controlling the operating state of the elevator's brake to move the car in response to a rotation interaction signal includes: when the elevator experiences a first preset fault, changing the brake's operating state from a braking state to a released state whenever a rotation interaction signal is generated, and after a preset time, restoring the brake's operating state to the braking state until a rotation interaction signal is generated again. The first preset fault is caused by a main unit fault in the elevator control cabinet, such as an encoder fault or a brake fault. When the elevator experiences the first preset fault, the elevator car can still move up and down based on the brake, but the main unit fault in the elevator control cabinet prevents the car from moving to the floor the user needs to reach under the control of the control cabinet.

[0062] Optionally, after generating the rotation interaction signal, the brake's operating state changes from braking to release, and the elevator's speed is limited by a star relay to prevent excessive speed. After a preset time, the brake's operating state returns to braking. If the car has not reached the target position, the user needs to interact with the interaction device again to generate a rotation interaction signal, repeating the above steps until the car reaches the target position.

[0063] Alternatively, in response to a rotation interaction signal, controlling the operating state of the elevator's brake to move the car further includes: when a second preset fault occurs in the elevator, moving the car to a target position based on a preset speed during the change of the rotation interaction signal. In this second preset fault, the elevator's main unit does not malfunction, and the elevator car can move up and down based on the brake. Since the elevator's main unit is not faulty, the preset speed for the car's movement can be set by the elevator main unit.

[0064] In this embodiment, when the car moves in response to the rotation interaction signal, the preset speed and target position settings ensure that the direction and speed of the car's movement are not affected by the direction and rate of change of the rotation interaction signal. This avoids the problem of incorrect car movement direction or excessive speed due to improper user operation, thereby improving the safety of people inside the elevator during self-rescue in the event of elevator malfunction.

[0065] In some embodiments, determining that the car has moved to the target position includes: identifying the target floor among multiple floors that is closest to the current car; obtaining the relative position between the current car and the target floor; and if the relative position meets a preset condition, determining that the car has moved to the target position.

[0066] The relative position between the current elevator car and the target floor can be either the relative position between the bottom of the car and the sill of the elevator hall on the target floor, or the relative position between the top of the car and the ceiling of the target floor. When the relative position between the current elevator car and the target floor meets the preset conditions, the passengers in the car can smoothly and safely enter the target floor through the opened car door. Optionally, when the elevator car sill and the hall sill are on the same plane, the relative position meets the preset conditions, and it is determined that the car has moved to the target position and the car door is opened.

[0067] In some embodiments, when the elevator is determined to be in a normal state, in response to a rotation interaction signal, controlling the internal environment of the car and / or the floor reached after the car moves includes: when the elevator is in a normal state, determining whether the interaction device inside the elevator car generates a pressure interaction signal in response to the user's touch interaction; if the interaction device generates a pressure interaction signal, then in response to the pressure interaction signal, determining the target environmental device among multiple environmental devices inside the car, and in response to a first rotation interaction signal, controlling the operating state of the target environmental device; if the interaction device does not generate a pressure interaction signal, then in response to the rotation interaction signal, determining the floor reached after the car moves.

[0068] In some embodiments, the interaction device integrates a rotation device and a function selection device. The rotation device, such as a knob or handle, generates a signal in response to a user's rotational interaction. The function selection device generates a signal in response to pressure or touch actions applied by the user during interaction. The function selection device can be a button, a touchscreen, or a combination of the aforementioned existing devices. Environmental devices within the car are used to regulate the environment inside the car. These environmental devices include, but are not limited to, lights, speakers, fans, and air conditioners.

[0069] The correspondence between user touch interactions and pressure interaction signals can be configured based on application requirements. For example, the function selection device can generate different pressure interaction signals based on interaction characteristics such as the interaction time and frequency between the user and the device. Alternatively, it can be configured so that the function selection device generates a pressure interaction signal whenever the user presses or touches it. Taking a function selection device inside the car that includes multiple buttons as an example, when the user presses different buttons, the function selection device generates different pressure interaction signals, corresponding to multiple environmental devices inside the car, thereby enabling the switching and selection of environmental scenes through pressure interaction signals.

[0070] For example, the function selection device includes multiple function buttons. If the interactive device receives a pressure interaction signal based on the user's touch interaction with the buttons, it determines the target environmental device to be controlled based on the pressure interaction signal. If, within a specified time after generating the pressure interaction signal, the interactive device generates a rotation interaction signal, it controls the operation of the target environmental device based on the selected interaction signal. If the interactive device generates a rotation interaction signal without generating a pressure interaction signal, or if the interactive device generates a pressure interaction signal but does not generate a rotation interaction signal within the specified time after generating the pressure interaction signal, it determines the floor reached by the car after movement based on the rotation interaction signal.

[0071] The control of the car's internal environment in response to the rotation interaction signal includes: controlling the operation of the car's interior lights and / or speakers and / or fans in response to the rotation interaction signal.

[0072] The operating status of lights includes brightness, color temperature adjustment, etc.; the operating status of speakers includes, but is not limited to, volume adjustment; the operating status of fans includes, but is not limited to, airflow.

[0073] Optionally, when the pressure interaction signal satisfies the first condition, if the pressure interaction signal indicates that the current environment control is lighting brightness control, the brightness of the light is controlled by changing the size of the rotation interaction signal through the rotation interaction device; if the pressure interaction signal indicates that the current environment control is fan / air conditioning control, the airflow of the fan is controlled by changing the size of the rotation interaction signal through the rotation interaction device; if the pressure interaction signal indicates that the current environment control is volume control, the volume of the speaker is controlled by changing the size of the rotation interaction signal through the rotation interaction device; if the pressure interaction signal indicates that the current environment control is light color temperature control, the color temperature of the ambient light strip is controlled by changing the size of the rotation interaction signal through the rotation interaction device. If the pressure interaction signal indicates that the current environment control is scene control, a preset scene mode is selected by changing the size of the rotation interaction signal through the rotation interaction device, and different operating states of the lights, speakers, and fans are corresponding to different scene modes.

[0074] In some embodiments, an interactive device is included within the elevator car. This interactive device includes a glass panel, knobs, a display screen, and a processor. Optionally, the environmental devices within the car include at least one of the following: lighting, a fan, a speaker, and air conditioning. The glass panel includes multiple buttons, each displaying an identifier for one of the aforementioned environmental devices. The glass panel is used to select the environmental device to be adjusted within the car, thereby enabling the switching and selection of environmental control scenes. The knob is used to control the operating status of the environmental device after it has been selected. The knob can perform functions including, but not limited to, controlling lighting brightness, fan speed, volume, light color temperature, and scene switching. The processor communicates with the elevator control cabinet and sends rotation interaction signals to the elevator control cabinet.

[0075] Figure 2 A schematic diagram of the structure of an interactive device is provided, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the interactive device includes a knob, a circular display screen, and a glass panel. A ring-shaped glass panel surrounds the circular display screen, and the knob is located on the outer side of the glass panel. The glass panel includes multiple function buttons, including a light button, a light strip button, a fan button, and volume buttons. The glass panel also includes silkscreened markings corresponding to each function button for indicator light illumination, light strip illumination, fan control, and volume control. The knob can be made of metal or acrylic, or other materials depending on the application requirements.

[0076] based on Figure 2 Interactive devices, Figure 3 A flowchart illustrating an elevator self-rescue method is provided. (For example...) Figure 3 As shown, when an elevator malfunctions, the elevator control cabinet executes the following steps:

[0077] Step S301: Determine whether the current fault is a self-rescue fault. A self-rescue fault refers to a fault where the self-rescue process will absolutely not cause significant harm to the user. If the current fault is not a self-rescue fault, proceed to step S302; if the current fault is a self-rescue fault, proceed to step S303.

[0078] The main component used for fault diagnosis is the control cabinet's main board. The control cabinet lists and defines all elevator faults in its main board program code. When a fault occurs, the control cabinet determines the specific fault type by observing abnormalities in different signals.

[0079] Optionally, the control cabinet lists and defines all elevator faults in the mainboard program code, classifying them into categories A, B, and C. Category A faults are the highest level of safety faults, including faults such as safety circuit disconnection. Category B and C faults are faults that allow for self-rescue, including faults such as encoder signal abnormalities, communication signal abnormalities, and position abnormalities. If the elevator malfunctions and the control cabinet determines that the current fault is a Category A fault based on the abnormality of different signals, the mainboard of the control cabinet determines that the fault cannot be self-rescued and activates the fault protection. If the elevator malfunctions and the control cabinet determines that the current fault is a Category B or C fault based on the abnormality of different signals, the mainboard of the control cabinet determines that self-rescue is allowed under the current fault condition.

[0080] In step S302, the elevator enters fault protection mode. In fault protection mode, the elevator is completely locked and self-rescue cannot be achieved by turning the knob. Optionally, in fault protection mode, the elevator stops and waits, and the voice device inside the car provides reassuring voice instructions, instructing users inside the car to wait for rescue, while simultaneously automatically calling for help via the one-button emergency call device inside the car.

[0081] Step S303: Determine whether the current fault is a host fault. If the current fault is determined to be a host fault, proceed to step S304; if the current fault is determined not to be a host fault, proceed to step S305.

[0082] Optionally, after the control cabinet determines that the current fault is a Class B or C fault, it performs another judgment based on the fault code generated by the elevator and the preset fault code. If the current fault is a Class B fault, it is determined that the current fault is a main unit fault. Main unit faults include, but are not limited to, encoder faults, brake faults, etc. If the current fault is a Class C fault, it is determined that the current fault is not a main unit fault.

[0083] Step S304: Enter the electric brake release rescue mode. In this mode, the in-car voice prompt will remind the user to rotate the knob, and the user can then perform self-rescue through interaction with the knob.

[0084] Optionally, the digital signal generated when the knob is rotated is a rotation interaction signal. Responding to this signal, electric brake release and rescue are achieved. The control cabinet mainboard program specifies that the control cabinet only detects changes in the digital signal generated when the knob is rotated, without detecting whether the change is increasing or decreasing, or the rate of change. That is, whenever the knob is rotated and the control cabinet receives the rotation interaction signal, it performs an elevator brake release operation within a preset time, releasing the brake and allowing the car to move a short distance. During the brake release period, a star relay limits the car's speed for speed protection. After each brake release operation, it is necessary to determine whether the nearest landing position has been reached. If not, the user inside the car must rotate the knob again to perform another electric brake release, releasing the brake again until the nearest landing position is reached and the car door opens. Simultaneously, the knob's function of controlling car movement is disabled, and the elevator position is locked until maintenance personnel inspect the elevator.

[0085] Step S305: Enter maintenance and rescue mode. When the control cabinet mainboard determines that the current fault is a non-host fault that allows for self-rescue, the control cabinet automatically enters maintenance and rescue mode. The in-car voice prompt reminds passengers to turn the knob to initiate maintenance and self-rescue.

[0086] Optionally, when the knob is turned, a digital signal is generated as a rotation interaction signal. Responding to this rotation interaction signal enables maintenance and rescue. In this case, the control cabinet only judges the change in the digital value of the knob, not the direction or rate of change. That is, regardless of the passenger's rotation direction, the elevator only moves towards the target location. When the knob stops moving, the elevator stops operating. After reaching the landing position, the doors open to allow passengers to pass through. The elevator then enters a protection state, the knob's self-rescue function is disabled, and the elevator awaits maintenance personnel for inspection and restoration.

[0087] The elevator self-rescue scheme in this embodiment differs from other traditional elevator rescue schemes. The elevator malfunction rescue process is entirely under the control of the passengers, enabling elevator self-rescue. Furthermore, different car movement methods are set according to different malfunction types during the self-rescue process to improve safety.

[0088] based on Figure 2 In this embodiment, the elevator, during normal operation, can control the internal environment of the car or the floor reached after the car moves, in response to the rotation interaction signal generated by the knob and the pressure interaction signal generated by the selection device. The rotation interaction signal generated by the knob is an analog signal.

[0089] In this system, if no pressure interaction signal is received from the buttons on the glass panel in response to user interaction, but a rotation interaction signal is received from the knob, the processor processes the rotation interaction signal and displays the floor the user wishes to reach on the screen. If the analog signal generated by the knob stops changing after a preset time, it is determined that the user has selected the desired floor. The preset time is 2 seconds by default and can be set according to actual needs. The processor converts the collected analog signal into a digital signal, which is received by the elevator control cabinet. The control cabinet executes the floor registration command and controls the main unit to operate, causing the car to reach the destination floor. Simultaneously, during the knob rotation, the processor controls the speaker to generate simulated mechanical rotation sounds based on the rotation interaction signal; the speaker output sound can be set according to actual needs.

[0090] When the glass panel receives a pressure interaction signal generated by the function buttons in response to the user's input interaction signal, and also receives a rotation interaction signal generated by the knob, different electrical appliances can be controlled to operate based on the different function buttons on the glass panel.

[0091] Optionally, when the lighting button on the glass panel is pressed, the processor determines that the signal generated by the knob is used to adjust the brightness of the car lighting, and the display interface changes to the UI (User Interface) image related to the car lighting brightness. When the knob is turned, the processor receives the signal generated by the knob, processes and converts the signal, and outputs it to the elevator control cabinet. The control cabinet controls the brightness of the car lighting based on a smooth curve change, and the brightness indicator on the display screen changes synchronously with the knob adjustment. The speaker emits a simulated mechanical sound while the knob is turned. After stopping the adjustment and waiting for a certain period of time, the processor exits the knob adjustment function and returns to the default floor selection adjustment. The processor waiting time and the speaker output sound can both be set according to actual needs.

[0092] Optionally, when the LED strip button on the glass panel is pressed, the processor determines that the signal generated by the knob is used to adjust the car's ambient lighting, and the display interface changes to the ambient lighting-related UI image. When the knob is turned, the processor receives the signal generated by the knob, processes and converts it, and then outputs it to the elevator's control cabinet. The control cabinet controls the ambient lighting color to change based on a smooth curve, and the ambient lighting indicator on the display changes synchronously with the knob's adjustment. The speaker emits a simulated mechanical sound while the knob is turned. After stopping the adjustment and waiting for a certain period of time, the processor exits the knob adjustment function and returns to the default floor selection adjustment. The processor's waiting time and the speaker's output sound can both be set according to actual needs.

[0093] Optionally, when the fan button on the glass panel is pressed, the processor determines that the signal generated by the knob is used to adjust the fan or air conditioner in the elevator car, and the display interface changes to UI images related to the fan and air conditioner. When the knob is turned, the processor receives the signal from the knob, processes and converts the signal, and outputs it to the elevator control cabinet. The control cabinet controls the fan airflow based on a smooth curve change, or controls the air conditioner temperature to change slowly, and the fan and air conditioner indicators on the display change synchronously with the knob adjustment. The speaker emits simulated mechanical sounds synchronously. After stopping the adjustment and waiting for a certain period of time, the processor exits the knob adjustment function and returns to the default floor selection adjustment. The processor waiting time and the speaker output sound can both be set according to actual needs.

[0094] Optionally, when the volume button on the glass panel is pressed, the processor determines that the signal generated by the knob is used to adjust the volume of the speakers in the elevator car, and the display interface changes to a volume-related UI image. When the knob is turned, the processor receives the signal from the knob, processes and converts the signal, and outputs it to the elevator control cabinet. The control cabinet controls the volume of the speakers in the car to change based on a smooth curve, and the volume indicator on the display changes synchronously with the knob adjustment. The speakers emit simulated mechanical sounds synchronously. After stopping the adjustment and waiting for a certain period of time, the processor exits the knob adjustment function and returns to the default floor selection adjustment. The processor waiting time and the speaker output sound can both be set according to actual needs.

[0095] It should be understood that although the steps in the flowcharts of the embodiments described above are shown sequentially according to the arrows, these steps are not necessarily executed in the order indicated by the arrows. Unless explicitly stated herein, there is no strict order restriction on the execution of these steps, and they can be executed in other orders.
