[0024] The embodiments of the present application provide a direct-current elevator system, which comprises: a direct-current input power supply, a direct-current frequency converter and a direct-current traction machine; the direct-current input power supply is connected with the direct-current frequency converter, and is used to provide direct-current input for the direct-current frequency converter; the direct-current frequency converter is connected with the direct-current traction machine, and is used to drive the direct-current traction machine; a first semiconductor voltage reduction module is connected with the direct-current input power supply, and is used to perform a voltage reduction operation and output a first direct-current voltage; a plurality of first direct-current components are connected with the first semiconductor voltage reduction module, and each first direct-current component operates based on the first direct-current voltage; a second semiconductor voltage reduction module is connected with the first semiconductor voltage reduction module, and is used to perform a voltage reduction operation and output a second direct-current voltage; a plurality of second direct-current components are connected with the second semiconductor voltage reduction module, and each second direct-current component operates based on the second direct-current voltage; the first direct-current voltage is lower than the voltage of the direct-current input, and the second direct-current voltage is lower than the first direct-current voltage.

[0025] Please refer to Figure 1In a possible implementation, the existing elevator system is directly reformed, specifically, the input power supply of the elevator is replaced from the original 380V alternating current power supply or 220V alternating current power supply to a direct current input power supply, for example, to a 700-750V direct current input power supply, a direct current frequency converter is connected with the direct current input power supply, the direct current frequency converter drives the direct current traction machine to move according to the direct current input, to realize the normal operation of the elevator, then a first semiconductor voltage reduction module is connected with the direct current input power supply, to perform voltage reduction on the direct current input power supply, to reduce the direct current input power supply to a first direct current voltage, for example, to 310V direct current input, the first direct current voltage is used to supply power to a plurality of first direct current components, including but not limited to the main control cabinet of the elevator, the safety protection device, the car lighting, the shaft lighting and the like, that is, all the above components are replaced from the original alternating current components to direct current components, to meet the development demand of new technologies.

[0026] Further, since there are other components driven by other voltage specifications in the elevator, a second semiconductor voltage reduction module is further configured, connected with the first semiconductor voltage reduction module, to reduce the voltage to a second direct current voltage, for example, to 110V direct current input, to drive second direct current components such as the safety protection device and the brake, in the embodiment of the present application, a third semiconductor voltage reduction module is further configured, connected with the second semiconductor voltage reduction module, to reduce the second direct current voltage to a third direct current voltage, for example, to 24V direct current input, and to provide power input for low-voltage direct current components such as the control circuit board, the sensor, the elevator door machine and the external calling device. In the embodiment of the present application, the above semiconductor voltage reduction module is a voltage reduction module based on the third generation semiconductor material (gallium nitride or silicon carbide), which has good electric energy conversion efficiency and higher safety.

[0027] In the embodiment of the present application, by directly improving the traditional elevator system, all the electrical components of the entire elevator system are composed of direct current components, so that only one direct current input power supply is configured for the elevator, combined with a plurality of semiconductor voltage reduction modules, the normal operation of the entire elevator can be realized, and it is no longer necessary to configure corresponding power supplies for different voltage driven components of the elevator, thereby effectively reducing the configuration cost of the elevator, at the same time, the electric energy conversion efficiency can be effectively improved by the semiconductor voltage reduction module, the operation cost of the elevator is reduced, and the higher use safety and the switching characteristics of the semiconductor voltage reduction module can further improve the use safety of the elevator system.

[0028] Please refer to Figure 2 In the embodiment of the present application, the direct current elevator system further comprises a regenerative energy device connected with the direct current traction machine, for generating regenerative energy, the regenerative energy device is further connected with an energy storage device, and the energy storage device is connected with the direct current frequency converter.

[0029] In the embodiment of the present application, by connecting the renewable energy device and the energy storage device, the direct current renewable energy generated by the renewable energy device can be directly stored and used for subsequent use of the elevator, thereby effectively reducing the operation cost of the elevator and improving the economy of the elevator use.

[0030] In the embodiment of the present application, the first direct current component comprises a master control module, which is configured to: determine whether the driving signal of the direct current frequency converter is acquired; if yes, control the renewable energy device to output the renewable energy to the direct current frequency converter; otherwise, control the renewable energy device to output the renewable energy to the energy storage device.

[0031] In a possible implementation, the master control module is arranged in a master control cabinet, and the renewable energy device is further directly connected with the direct current frequency converter. During the operation of the elevator, the master control module determines whether the driving signal of the direct current frequency converter is acquired. For example, in an embodiment, the elevator receives an external call signal of a landing, and thus needs to immediately control the elevator car to go to the landing. At this time, the driving signal is sent, which means that the input of electric energy is needed to drive the direct current traction machine to move the elevator car to the landing. At this time, the master control module controls the renewable energy device to directly output the renewable energy to the direct current frequency converter for use, thereby effectively reducing the energy consumption during the operation of the elevator. In the remaining time, the elevator is parked at the landing and in standby state or the elevator is under heavy load down or light load up. At this time, if the renewable energy is generated, since the direct current frequency converter does not need to input current, the master control module controls the renewable energy device to output the renewable energy to the energy storage device for storage for subsequent use.

[0032] In actual application, the energy storage device such as a lithium battery module or a power battery pack has a high configuration cost, and the current battery has a fixed number of charge and discharge times. Therefore, if the charge and discharge are frequently performed, the service life of the battery is reduced, and the economy of the energy storage device for energy storage is reduced.

[0033] In the embodiment of the present application, the master control module is further configured to: acquire a current time period; if the current time period is in a preset daytime period, control the direct current input power supply, the renewable energy device and the energy storage device to supply power to the direct current frequency converter based on a first control strategy, wherein the energy storage device is preferentially controlled to supply power to the direct current frequency converter in the first control strategy; if the current time period is in a preset night period, control the direct current input power supply, the renewable energy device and the energy storage device to supply power to the direct current frequency converter based on a second control strategy, wherein the direct current input power supply is preferentially controlled to supply power to the direct current frequency converter in the second control strategy.

[0034] In a possible implementation, a current period is acquired first, if the current period is in a preset daytime period, at this time, the electricity price is at a high level, and therefore the DC input power supply, the renewable energy device and the energy storage device are controlled to supply power to the DC frequency converter based on a first control strategy, in the embodiment of the application, the controlling the DC input power supply, the renewable energy device and the energy storage device to supply power to the DC frequency converter based on the first control strategy comprises: acquiring a connection state and a current power of the energy storage device; in the case that the energy storage device and the DC frequency converter are in a connection state, if the current power is less than a first preset power, the DC frequency converter is controlled to be connected to the DC input power supply and disconnected from the energy storage device; in the case that the energy storage device and the DC frequency converter are in a disconnection state, if the current power is greater than a second preset power, the DC frequency converter is controlled to be connected to the energy storage device and disconnected from the DC input power supply, the first preset power is less than the second preset power.

[0035] Specifically, the electricity price is higher in the daytime, and therefore it is more economical and has a lower operation cost to preferentially use the electric energy in the energy storage device to drive the elevator. The connection state and the current power of the energy storage device are acquired first, if the energy storage device is connected to the DC frequency converter, that is, the energy storage device is in a discharging state at this time, if it is monitored that the current power is less than a first preset power, for example, the first preset power is 20%, the DC frequency converter is controlled to be connected to the DC input power supply and disconnected from the energy storage device, so as to avoid greater damage to the energy storage device in the case of low power, at this time, the energy storage device enters a charging mode; if the energy storage device is in a disconnection state from the DC frequency converter, that is, the energy storage device is in a charging mode at this time, the current power of the energy storage device is monitored, and when the current power is greater than a second preset power, for example, the second preset power is 40%, the DC frequency converter is controlled to be connected to the energy storage device and disconnected from the DC input power supply, so as to preferentially use the electric energy in the energy storage device to supply power, and realize more economical operation of the elevator.

[0036] In the embodiment of the application, the energy storage device is preferentially configured to supply power for the elevator operation in the daytime high electricity price period, so as to improve the economy of the elevator operation and reduce the operation cost; and by using different power switching thresholds in the charging and discharging modes of the energy storage system, the frequency of charging and discharging of the energy storage system can be effectively avoided, and the service life of the energy storage system is improved.

[0037] On the other hand, if the current period is in a preset night period, that is, the electricity price is low at this time, the external DC input power supply can be preferentially used to supply power, so as to reduce the use frequency of the energy storage system and improve the service life thereof.

[0038] In the embodiment of the present application, the second control strategy is used to control the DC input power supply, the renewable energy device and the energy storage device to supply power to the DC inverter, including: when the energy storage device and the DC inverter are in a connected state, if the current power is less than a third preset power, the third preset power being greater than the first preset power and less than the second preset power, the DC inverter is controlled to be connected to the DC input power supply and disconnected from the energy storage device; when the energy storage device and the DC inverter are in a disconnected state, if the current power is greater than a fourth preset power, the fourth preset power being greater than the second preset power, the DC inverter is controlled to be connected to the energy storage device and disconnected from the DC input power supply.

[0039] In a possible implementation, when the energy storage device and the DC inverter are in a connected state, i.e., the energy storage device is in a discharging mode, if the current power of the energy storage device is less than a third preset power, for example, the third preset power is 30%, the DC inverter is controlled to be connected to the external DC input power supply and disconnected from the energy storage device; when the energy storage device and the DC inverter are in a disconnected state, i.e., the energy storage device is in a charging mode, the DC inverter is controlled to be connected to the energy storage device and disconnected from the DC input power supply only when the current power of the energy storage device is greater than a fourth preset power, for example, the fourth preset power is 60%, so as to achieve the best balance between the use of low-cost power and the maximization of the service life of the energy storage device.

[0040] In the embodiment of the present application, different control strategies are used to switch the input power supply of the elevator at different time stages, so as to comprehensively balance the use of low-cost power and the maximization of the service life of the energy storage device, meet the actual needs of users, and improve the user experience.

[0041] In actual application, for different elevators, their use conditions are different, the amount of renewable energy generated thereby is different, and the economic performance that can be achieved thereby is also different, so the above fixed control strategy does not achieve the best economic performance.

[0042] In the embodiment of the present application, the master control module is further configured to: acquire historical regeneration data of the renewable energy device; generate a generation curve of the renewable energy in a unit time based on the historical regeneration data; acquire an energy consumption curve of total energy consumption in the unit time; determine the first preset power, the second preset power, the third preset power and the fourth preset power based on the generation curve and the energy consumption curve; generate a first control strategy based on the first preset power and the second preset power, and generate a second control strategy based on the third preset power and the fourth preset power.

[0043] In a possible implementation, in order to achieve the maximum operation cost reduction effect and optimize the service life of the energy storage device, historical renewable energy data of the renewable energy device is acquired, a generation curve of the renewable energy device in a unit time, for example, 1-7 days, is determined according to the data, at this time, an energy consumption curve of the total energy consumed by the elevator in the unit time, that is, an energy consumption curve of the entire elevator in the unit time, is acquired, at this time, the energy use economy is accurately analyzed according to the generation curve and the energy consumption curve, to determine the optimal first preset power, the second preset power, the third preset power and the fourth preset power, and the corresponding first control strategy and the second control strategy are generated according to the determined optimal first preset power, the second preset power, the third preset power and the fourth preset power, so as to achieve the above technical effects.

[0044] In the embodiment of the present application, the first preset power, the second preset power, the third preset power and the fourth preset power are determined based on the generation curve and the energy consumption curve, including: acquiring a daytime charging and discharging frequency threshold and a nighttime charging and discharging frequency threshold, the daytime charging and discharging frequency threshold being greater than the nighttime charging and discharging frequency threshold; in the case that the current period is in the preset daytime period, determining the first preset power and the second preset power based on the daytime charging and discharging frequency threshold, the generation curve and the energy consumption curve, the renewable energy being completely consumed in the preset daytime period according to the first preset power; in the case that the current period is in the preset nighttime period, determining the third preset power and the fourth preset power based on the nighttime charging and discharging frequency threshold, the generation curve and the energy consumption curve, the renewable energy being completely consumed in the preset nighttime period according to the third preset power.

[0045] In a possible implementation, first, a daytime charging and discharging frequency threshold and a nighttime charging and discharging frequency threshold are acquired, for example, the above two thresholds are thresholds set by the technician in advance according to the acceptable charging and discharging frequency of the energy storage device, wherein the daytime charging and discharging frequency threshold is greater than the nighttime charging and discharging frequency threshold, so as to preferentially consume the electric energy in the energy storage device in the daytime and preferentially reduce the charging and discharging frequency of the energy storage device at night.

[0046] According to the period in which the elevator runs, if in the preset daytime period, the renewable energy generation rate in the preset daytime period is determined according to the generation curve, according to the data, the charging rate of the energy storage device can be determined, and the energy consumption rate in the energy storage device can be determined in combination with the energy consumption curve, thereby the next charging time interval of the energy storage device can be determined, based on this, the optimal first preset power and the second preset power are determined according to the above daytime charging and discharging frequency threshold, and the renewable energy is completely consumed in the preset daytime period based on the first preset power;

[0047] And, if in a preset night period, based on the same principle, the best third preset power and the fourth preset power are determined, and on the basis of the third preset power, the renewable energy is completely consumed in the preset night period. Therefore, according to the optimal power setting value, the optimal control scheme can be generated, the optimal elevator operation economic performance and the optimal energy storage device charging and discharging times are realized, the service life is guaranteed, and the actual demand of the user is met.

[0048] In actual use, compared with a traditional switching power supply or a relay device, the output current and voltage of each semiconductor voltage reduction module can be monitored in real time, elevator abnormalities can be analyzed and timely prompts can be given, thereby improving the safety of the elevator.

[0049] In the embodiment of the application, the master control module is further configured to: acquire a first output current of the first semiconductor voltage reduction module and a second output current of the second semiconductor voltage reduction module; determine whether at least one of the first output current, the first direct current voltage, the second output current and the second direct current voltage is abnormal; and if so, cut off the corresponding first semiconductor voltage reduction module and / or second semiconductor voltage reduction module and output corresponding alarm information.

[0050] In a possible implementation, during the operation of the elevator, the first output current of the first semiconductor voltage reduction module and the second output current of the second semiconductor voltage reduction module are acquired, and whether an abnormality exists is determined according to the first output current, the first direct current voltage, the second output current and the second direct current voltage. For example, in the first embodiment, if it is monitored that the output current of a semiconductor voltage reduction module is significantly greater than the normal output current, it can be determined that an abnormal electrical component exists in the electrical components loaded by the semiconductor voltage reduction module, and therefore the semiconductor voltage reduction module is immediately cut off and corresponding alarm information is immediately output. In the second embodiment, if it is monitored that the direct current voltage across a semiconductor voltage reduction module is significantly high, it can be determined that the semiconductor voltage reduction module is abnormal, and therefore the semiconductor voltage reduction module is immediately cut off and corresponding alarm information is output in order to protect the electrical components from being damaged.

[0051] In the embodiment of the application, by configuring the semiconductor voltage reduction module, the current monitoring and voltage monitoring functions of the semiconductor voltage reduction module itself are utilized, and without the need to configure an additional monitoring device, the current and voltage of each electrical component during the operation of the elevator can be monitored, and abnormalities can be found in time, thereby effectively improving the safety of the operation of the elevator.

[0052] Further, the embodiment of the application further provides a direct current elevator, which comprises the direct current elevator system according to the embodiment of the application.
