Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of elevator technology, and in particular to an elevator control method, device, storage medium, and elevator. Background Technology

[0002] As cities continue to develop and the number of high-rise buildings increases, elevators, as an indispensable tool in modern cities, bring various conveniences to people's lives. However, when an elevator malfunctions, trapped people may panic and make incorrect operations, resulting in secondary injuries or increasing the difficulty of rescue. Therefore, how to effectively comfort trapped people when an elevator malfunctions is a problem that needs to be solved. Summary of the Invention

[0003] This application provides an elevator control method, device, storage medium, and elevator, which can improve the safety of children riding elevators.

[0004] In a first aspect, embodiments of this application provide an elevator control method, the method comprising: determining whether the elevator is currently malfunctioning based on elevator operating data;

[0005] If the elevator malfunctions, the type of malfunction of the elevator is obtained;

[0006] Based on the type of elevator malfunction, determine the required repair time for that type of malfunction;

[0007] The elevator's display screen shows a malfunction message and the estimated repair time.

[0008] Secondly, embodiments of this application provide an elevator control device, the device comprising:

[0009] The judgment module is used to determine whether the elevator is currently malfunctioning based on the elevator's operating data.

[0010] The first acquisition module is used to acquire the fault type of the elevator if the elevator malfunctions.

[0011] The second acquisition module is used to determine the required repair time for the fault type based on the fault type of the elevator.

[0012] The display module is used to display a malfunction message on the elevator's screen and to display the repair time.

[0013] Thirdly, embodiments of this application provide a storage medium storing a computer program thereon, which, when executed on a computer, causes the computer to perform the method provided in embodiments of this application.

[0014] Fourthly, embodiments of this application also provide an elevator, including a memory, a processor, and a display screen, wherein the processor executes the method provided in embodiments of this application by calling a computer program stored in the memory.

[0015] The elevator in this embodiment can be equipped with a display screen. When a malfunction is detected, the display screen can show a malfunction warning. It is understandable that when an elevator malfunctions, trapped passengers may not be able to immediately understand the current elevator situation and may be confused. Therefore, displaying a malfunction warning on the screen allows trapped passengers to be aware of the malfunction and promptly call for help via an alarm bell or electronic device such as a mobile phone. Furthermore, this embodiment also displays the estimated repair time on the elevator's display screen. It is understandable that trapped passengers are prone to panic and anxiety, and as the entrapment time increases, their anxiety intensifies due to uncertainty about how long it will take to be rescued. Therefore, this embodiment can obtain the elevator malfunction type and display the estimated repair time when a malfunction occurs. This allows trapped passengers to understand the potential duration of their entrapment immediately and be psychologically prepared for the waiting time for rescue. This effectively alleviates their fear of the unknown waiting time, calms their emotions, reduces the likelihood of erroneous actions due to heightened anxiety while waiting for rescue, and prevents secondary injuries.

[0023] Please refer to the illustrations, where the same component symbols represent the same components. The principles of this application are illustrated by example in a suitable computing environment. The following description is based on the specific embodiments of this application illustrated, and should not be construed as limiting other specific embodiments not detailed herein.

[0024] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the first type of elevator control method provided in the embodiments of this application.

[0025] In 101, the elevator's operating data is used to determine whether the elevator is currently malfunctioning.

[0026] In step 102, if an elevator malfunctions, the type of malfunction is obtained.

[0027] This application embodiment can determine whether the elevator has malfunctioned by acquiring elevator operation data in real time. The elevator operation data may include, for example, the time when the elevator begins to ascend, the time when the elevator doors open, the time when the elevator doors close, the time when the elevator stops running, the elevator's load, its location, its angular velocity, its ascent speed, its descent speed, and corresponding acceleration.

[0028] It is understandable that the corresponding operating data of an elevator during normal operation and when an elevator malfunctions will be different. Therefore, the operating data of an elevator can be used to distinguish whether the elevator is currently operating normally or has malfunctioned.

[0029] Furthermore, in this embodiment of the application, if an elevator malfunction is detected, the type of elevator malfunction will be further determined. For example, if the collected elevator's ascending or descending speed is within a preset range, but the elevator door is open, then the elevator malfunction type can be determined to be "door-open operation"; as another example, if the collected data shows that the elevator is not stopped at one floor but between two floors, then the elevator malfunction type can be determined to be "inter-floor stop"; as yet another example, if the collected data shows that the elevator's descending speed is greater than a preset speed threshold, then the elevator malfunction type can be determined to be "elevator descent"; and as yet another example, if the collected data shows that the elevator's angular velocity in all directions is greater than a preset angular velocity, then the elevator malfunction type can be determined to be "abnormal shaking," and so on.

[0030] In section 103, the required repair time for each type of elevator malfunction is determined based on the type of malfunction.

[0031] In section 104, the elevator's display screen shows a malfunction message and the estimated repair time.

[0032] Understandably, the causes of elevator malfunctions vary depending on the type of fault. For example, a faulty door sensor or obstructions in the door guide rails might prevent the elevator doors from opening or closing properly. Another possibility is abnormal shaking due to motor failure or bearing wear. Yet another could be inter-floor stops caused by a braking system malfunction or cable wear. Because the causes of the malfunctions differ, the required repair time also varies.

[0033] For example, in routine elevator maintenance, after an elevator malfunctions and is repaired, basic information such as the elevator's location, the type of malfunction, the cause of the malfunction, the repair method used, and the repair time can be recorded to form a maintenance record. This record provides a reference for future elevators experiencing the same malfunction, improving maintenance efficiency. Therefore, after obtaining the current malfunction type of the elevator, this embodiment of the application can obtain historical repair time information corresponding to the malfunction type. Based on the historical repair time information, the required repair time for the malfunction type can be determined. Specifically, the historical repair time required for elevators of the same type or model experiencing the same malfunction type can be obtained, allowing for the determination of the required repair time based on multiple historical repair experiences.

[0034] For example, based on multiple maintenance records for this type of fault, multiple historical maintenance times can be obtained. The required maintenance time for the elevator can be the average of the historical maintenance times, such as displaying a maintenance time of 1 hour, 2 hours, etc. In another example, the required maintenance time for the elevator can also be the time range required for most historical maintenance times, such as displaying a maintenance time of 2 to 3 hours. In yet another example, with the improvement of maintenance technology efficiency, only recent maintenance records can be obtained, such as maintenance records from the past year or the past two years, and the required maintenance time for the fault type can be determined based on the recent maintenance records. In yet another example, considering that the required maintenance time may also vary depending on the geographical location, different location areas can be divided, and the required maintenance time for the fault type can be determined only based on the maintenance records of the location area to which the elevator belongs.

[0035] In another example, professionals can conduct advance assessments of elevators in different locations or of different types to determine the correlation between different types of elevator malfunctions and the required repair time. This correlation can be updated promptly as maintenance technology advances or elevator usage time changes. Therefore, when the type of elevator malfunction is determined, trapped individuals can obtain reliable repair time information in a timely manner.

[0036] The elevator in this embodiment can be equipped with a display screen. When a malfunction is detected, the display screen can show a malfunction warning message. It is understandable that when an elevator suddenly malfunctions, such as suddenly stopping, being unable to open the doors, shaking, or descending uncontrollably, the trapped people inside may not be able to understand the current elevator situation in time and may be confused. Therefore, the display screen can show a warning message to inform the trapped people that the elevator has malfunctioned, so that the users can react in time and call for help through the alarm bell or electronic devices.

[0037] Furthermore, this embodiment displays the estimated repair time on the elevator's screen. It is understandable that trapped individuals are prone to panic and anxiety, and as the entrapment time increases, their uncertainty about how long rescue will take exacerbates their anxiety. Therefore, this embodiment displays the estimated repair time immediately upon elevator malfunction, allowing trapped individuals to understand the potential duration of their entrapment and be psychologically prepared for the wait. This effectively alleviates their fear of the unknown waiting time, calms their emotions, reduces the likelihood of erroneous actions due to heightened anxiety while waiting for rescue, and prevents secondary injuries.

[0038] For example, when the elevator is operating normally, advertising information can be displayed on the elevator's screen. If the elevator malfunctions and does not return to normal operation within a preset time, the screen will switch from displaying advertising information to displaying a malfunction notification and the repair time. Understandably, if the elevator does not return to normal operation within the preset time, or if the malfunction persists for the preset time, the elevator will immediately switch from displaying advertising information to displaying the malfunction notification and repair time. This allows for timely notification to trapped personnel to initiate a rapid rescue, and also prevents the elevator from being mistakenly identified as malfunctioning due to temporary instability, thus avoiding unnecessary panic.

[0039] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the second process of the elevator control method provided in the embodiments of this application.

[0040] In section 201, based on the elevator's operating data, it is determined whether the elevator is currently malfunctioning;

[0041] In step 202, if the elevator malfunctions, the type of elevator malfunction is obtained.

[0042] In section 203, the required repair time for each type of elevator malfunction is determined based on the type of malfunction.

[0043] In room 204, the elevator's display screen shows a malfunction message and the estimated repair time.

[0044] This application embodiment can acquire elevator operating data in real time and determine whether the elevator has malfunctioned based on the data. If a malfunction is detected, the type of malfunction will be further determined. It is understood that different malfunction types generally indicate different causes, and therefore, different repair times.

[0045] For example, in routine elevator maintenance, after an elevator malfunctions and is repaired, basic information such as the elevator's location, the type of malfunction, the cause of the malfunction, the repair method used, and the repair time can be recorded to form a maintenance record. This provides a reference for future elevators experiencing the same malfunction, improving maintenance efficiency. Therefore, after obtaining the current malfunction type of the elevator, this embodiment can obtain historical repair time information corresponding to the malfunction type. Based on this historical repair time information, the required repair time for the malfunction type can be determined. Specifically, historical repair times required for the same type or model of elevators experiencing the same malfunction type can be obtained, allowing for the determination of the required repair time based on multiple historical repair experiences. In another example, professionals can pre-assess elevators in different locations or of different types to obtain the correspondence between different malfunction types and required repair times. This correspondence can be updated promptly as maintenance technology advances or elevator usage time changes. Thus, when the elevator malfunction type is obtained, trapped personnel can promptly obtain reliable repair time information.

[0046] When the elevator is operating normally, advertising information can be displayed on its screen. If the elevator malfunctions and fails to return to normal operation within a preset time, the screen will switch from displaying advertising information to showing a malfunction notification and the estimated repair time. This is understandable; if the elevator does not return to normal operation within the preset time, or if the malfunction persists for the preset time, the elevator will immediately switch from displaying advertising information to a malfunction notification and repair time. This serves two purposes: firstly, it allows for timely notification of trapped passengers to initiate a rapid rescue; secondly, it prevents the elevator from being mistakenly identified as temporarily unstable and causing unnecessary panic.

[0047] It should be noted that the elevator malfunction notification information can be set as needed. For example, the elevator malfunction notification information may include the type of malfunction currently occurring in the elevator, as well as other information related to the malfunction.

[0048] In step 205, retrieve the elevator's basic information and the floor information where the elevator is currently located;

[0049] In unit 206, the display screen controlling the elevator also shows basic elevator information and the current floor information.

[0050] After determining that the elevator has malfunctioned, further information about the elevator, including its current floor, can be obtained. This basic information may include the community and building where the elevator is located, its serial number, type, and model. Understandably, trapped individuals may panic and fail to press any buttons, making it difficult to clearly describe the elevator's situation when contacting rescue personnel such as maintenance workers, security guards, police, or emergency contacts. Displaying the elevator's malfunction type, basic information, and floor location on a screen effectively helps trapped individuals clearly describe crucial information to rescuers. This alleviates their anxiety and allows rescuers to quickly obtain accurate information, improving rescue efficiency.

[0051] Furthermore, after obtaining the current elevator floor information, if the elevator is stopped between two floors, the distance between the elevator and each of the two floors is obtained; the control display screen also shows the distance between the elevator and each of the two floors. On the one hand, informing trapped personnel of the current elevator stop between floors can prevent them from encountering new dangers if they try to pry open the elevator doors to escape. On the other hand, displaying the distance between the elevator and each of the two floors can also help trapped personnel to more accurately describe their current location when contacting rescuers, helping rescuers to quickly carry out rescue operations based on the current location.

[0052] In 207, the control display screen also shows corresponding emergency protection information.

[0053] For example, in this embodiment of the application, after determining that a malfunction has occurred in the elevator, the display screen can be controlled to show emergency protection information. For instance, emergency protection information can be displayed through various combinations of videos, images, or text, informing trapped passengers how to ensure their safety. This can also effectively help users adjust their emotions, maintain a calm mindset, and protect themselves from secondary injuries. It should be noted that audio equipment can be installed inside the elevator, and this audio equipment can be used to play emergency protection information or to maintain communication with rescue personnel, effectively calming the trapped passengers.

[0054] Furthermore, this embodiment of the application considers different fault types, allowing users to adopt different emergency self-protection methods. Therefore, after obtaining the elevator fault type, the control display screen displays the corresponding emergency protection knowledge, which can more effectively help users protect themselves. For example, when the elevator is rapidly descending, the emergency protection knowledge displayed can be: quickly press all the buttons for each floor, firmly grip the elevator handrail or handle, and keep your head and entire back pressed against the elevator's interior wall in a straight line. If there is no handrail, hug your neck to avoid neck injury. Bend your knees and stand on your tiptoes to reduce the impact. Another example is when the elevator stops and cannot open, the emergency protection knowledge displayed can be: press the alarm bell inside the elevator to contact rescue personnel, or shout loudly or intermittently knock on the elevator door, etc. It can also remind trapped personnel not to forcibly pry open the doors or climb out through the skylight, not to lie on their backs, and not to engage in strenuous exercise inside the elevator, etc.

[0055] In elevator 208, there is also an emergency battery that can be used to charge electronic devices. The location and usage instructions for the emergency battery are displayed on a screen.

[0056] For example, the elevator in this embodiment may also include an emergency battery. The emergency battery can be used to charge electronic devices. If the elevator malfunctions, a display screen will indicate the location and usage method of the emergency battery to the trapped personnel. The electronic device could be a mobile phone. It is understood that if a trapped person's mobile phone runs out of power and they cannot contact the outside world in real time, it will greatly exacerbate their anxiety. Therefore, pre-installing an emergency battery in the elevator and informing users of its location and usage method via a display screen prevents mobile phone malfunctions during entrapment, ensuring the phone remains functional and greatly calming the trapped person's anxiety.

[0057] For example, when an elevator malfunctions and its current floor information is obtained, the system can also use floor cameras to capture information about people outside the elevator. If someone is within a preset range of the elevator, the trapped person can be prompted to call for help. For instance, if the elevator malfunctions and stops on the 10th floor, and the door cannot be opened using the door open button, the trapped person can intermittently call for help before rescuers arrive or cannot be contacted, increasing the probability of rescue. Understandably, if no one is nearby, even if the trapped person calls for help inside the elevator, it's unlikely to receive assistance. Therefore, to increase the probability of calling for help, footage from the elevator's external camera can be captured. If someone is detected within the preset range of the elevator, the trapped person can be prompted to call for help. This increases the likelihood that people outside the elevator will receive the distress call and help with the rescue, while also conserving the trapped person's energy. Additionally, an audio device can be installed outside the elevator to proactively alert people outside the elevator when someone is detected within the preset range.

[0058] For example, when an elevator malfunction is detected, in order to better protect the health of trapped personnel, facial recognition technology can be used through the elevator's camera to identify the trapped personnel's identity information and obtain their health data. If the trapped personnel have health problems, such as heart disease or high blood pressure, medication or an ambulance can be prepared immediately to prevent them from being unable to receive timely treatment if they fall ill while trapped.

[0059] For example, in this embodiment of the application, when an elevator malfunction is detected, a rescue call or rescue video can be automatically triggered with the rescue personnel, and an alarm message can be automatically sent to the rescue personnel so that the rescue personnel can receive information about the elevator malfunction as soon as possible. Moreover, if the elevator's ascending or descending speed is detected to be greater than a preset speed threshold, the elevator can be controlled to automatically press the buttons for each floor to avoid situations where trapped persons are children or the elderly who cannot react in time to call the alarm or press all the buttons in time, thereby improving the elevator's ability to respond to malfunctions.

[0060] It should be noted that steps 202 and 205 in this embodiment of the application have no specific order, nor do steps 204, 206, 207, and 208. Furthermore, some or all of the information on the display screen can be controlled as needed, and this embodiment of the application does not impose any restrictions.
