Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of elevators, and in particular to a method for setting floor positions. Background Art

[0002] The elevator floor controller is an important human-machine interaction device provided by the elevator. It is responsible for transmitting the passenger's button call signal to the elevator controller or group controller, and controls the lighting and extinguishing of the button light according to the instructions of the elevator controller or group controller. This requires setting the floor position corresponding to each floor controller, which is generally set by a rotary switch.

[0003] Chinese Patent Documents 1 and 2 enter the floor setting mode by crossing the needle or a specific button command sequence, adjust the floor setting value, cancel the rotary switch, and reduce the cost, but still need cumbersome manual setting. In order to realize the automatic setting of the floor position, Chinese Patent Documents 3 to 10 propose some solutions, some of which are triggered manually, some are added by adding additional detection contacts or adding additional communication networks, and some are added by adding air pressure sensors to identify the floor position. These methods realize the automation of floor position setting to a certain extent and avoid cumbersome manual setting, but due to the addition of additional measures, such as adding additional I / O signals or communication links, the complexity of the system is increased, and the floor position setting is basically a one-time job, so increasing the complexity of the system is not an economical method. Therefore, it has become a technical problem to be solved to realize the automatic setting of the floor position without increasing the complexity of the system.

[0004] The publication numbers corresponding to Chinese patent documents 1 to 10 are as follows: Document 1 (CN101746650B), Document 2 (CN105984769A), Document 3 (CN103625997B), Document 4 (CN117203144A), Document 5 (CN117228462A), Document 6 (CN102689825A), Document 7 (CN212403033U), Document 8 (CN102689825B), Document 9 (CN104743415B), and Document 10 (CN115108421A). Summary of the invention

[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides a method for setting floor positions, controlling a floor station controller and a robot to enter a floor setting mode, and when the floor station controller receives the floor position and a floor position write trigger signal sent by the robot, the floor position is written into the memory of the floor station controller as the position identifier of the floor station controller; the robot takes the elevator and runs with the car.

[0006] Preferably, after the layer station controller and the robot enter the floor setting mode, the robot communicates with the elevator controller to obtain the layer station list for which the floor positions need to be set, and the robot controls the elevator operation. After each arrival at the destination floor in the layer station list, the robot sends a floor position write trigger signal, and the layer station controller of the destination floor performs the floor position write operation until the floor position write operation of all layer station controllers in the layer station list is completed.

[0007] Preferably, after the floor station controller and the robot enter the floor setting mode, the elevator controller controls the elevator operation. Each time the robot reaches the destination floor in the floor station list, it sends a floor position write trigger signal, and the floor station controller of the destination floor performs the floor position write operation until the floor position write operation of all floor station controllers in the floor station list is completed.

[0008] Preferably, the robot sends the floor position writing trigger signal in at least one of the following ways: wireless communication, voice control, light control, or touching a call button.

[0009] Preferably, when the robot arrives at the destination floor in the landing list along with the car, the elevator controller sends the floor position of the floor where the elevator car is located to the landing controller.

[0010] Preferably, the landing controllers of at least two elevators and a robot are controlled to enter the floor setting mode.

[0011] Preferably, when the car that the robot takes arrives at the destination floor in the landing list, the robot sends a floor position write trigger signal to the landing controller of each elevator simultaneously or separately.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the invention not only realizes the automatic setting of the floor position, but also reduces the complexity of the elevator system. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0017] The following describes the implementation methods of the present invention through specific specific embodiments, and those skilled in the art can fully understand other advantages and technical effects of the present invention from the contents disclosed in this specification. The present invention can also be implemented or applied through different specific implementation methods, and the details in this specification can also be applied based on different viewpoints, and various modifications or changes can be made without deviating from the overall design concept of the invention. It should be noted that the following embodiments and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other in the absence of conflict. The following exemplary embodiments of the present invention can be implemented in a variety of different forms and should not be interpreted as being limited to the specific embodiments described herein. It should be understood that these embodiments are provided to make the disclosure of the present invention thorough and complete, and to fully convey the technical solutions of these exemplary specific embodiments to those skilled in the art.

[0018] Example 1

[0019] This embodiment provides a method for setting the floor position, controlling the floor station controller and the robot to enter the floor setting mode, when the floor station controller receives the floor position and the floor position write trigger signal sent by the robot, the floor position is written into the memory of the floor station controller as the position identifier of the floor station controller; the robot takes the elevator and runs with the car. This method is applicable to both the case of one elevator and the case of multiple elevators in a group.

[0020] The first method of writing floor positions is: after the floor station controller and the robot enter the floor setting mode, the robot communicates with the elevator controller to obtain the floor station list that needs to set the floor position, and the robot controls the elevator to run. After each arrival at the destination floor in the floor station list, a floor position write trigger signal is sent, and the floor station controller of the destination floor performs the floor position write operation until the floor position write operation of all floor station controllers in the floor station list is completed.

[0021] The second method of writing the floor position is: after the floor station controller and the robot enter the floor setting mode, the elevator controller controls the elevator operation. Every time the robot reaches the destination floor in the floor station list, it sends a floor position writing trigger signal, and the floor station controller of the destination floor performs the floor position writing operation until the floor position writing operation of all floor station controllers in the floor station list is completed.

[0022] This embodiment provides a trigger signal for writing the floor position through a robot, thereby reducing the complexity of the system. This embodiment can be applied to the configuration of a single elevator and multiple group-controlled elevators, and can perform the writing operation in units of a single elevator or multiple elevators.

[0023] Preferably, the landing controllers of at least two elevators and a robot are controlled to enter the floor setting mode. When the car taken by the robot reaches the destination floor in the landing list, the robot sends a floor position write trigger signal to the landing controllers of each elevator simultaneously or separately.

[0024] Example 2

[0025] This embodiment takes three elevators as an example to explain in detail the first method of writing the floor position in Embodiment 1.

[0026] like Figure 1 As shown, there are 3 elevators in the building, serving 8 floors, and the 3 elevators share the same elevator lobby on the same floor. The elevator controllers CC 11, 12, and 13 of the 3 elevators control the operation of the elevators, including processing floor stations, car calls, starting and stopping elevators, and door opening and closing operations. They are connected to the elevator group controller GC 1, which coordinates the operation of multiple elevators. The cars 31, 32, and 33 of the 3 elevators run in the shafts 21, 22, and 23 respectively, and the elevator controller CC knows the location of the cars. Figure 1 The labels 411 to 418 are the floor controllers for elevator No. 1 on each floor, the labels 421 to 428 are the floor controllers for elevator No. 2 on each floor, and the labels 431 to 438 are the floor controllers for elevator No. 3 on each floor. When in normal working mode, the above-mentioned floor controller transmits the floor call signal to CC or GC, and displays the button light lighting signal and floor position signal sent by CC or GC; when in floor setting mode, upon receiving the trigger signal, the floor position information sent by CC is written into the memory as the position identifier of the floor controller. Robot 5 communicates with the elevator controller and the elevator group controller through a wireless network, and can also send a trigger signal for writing the floor position to the floor controller through wireless communication, voice control, light control, or by touching the call button.

[0027] Figure 2 This is an example of specific steps of the first method of writing floor positions in this embodiment.

[0028] Step s201, the operator controls the elevator and the robot to enter the floor setting mode;

[0029] Step s202, each elevator controller sends a floor setting mode to the landing controller;

[0030] Step s203, each landing controller enters a state ready to receive floor position and trigger signal;

[0031] Step s204, the elevator controller sends the list of floors that need to be written to the robot, and the robot controls the elevator to run to the first floor by sending a command signal. Although this solution does not depend on the order of floors, for convenience, this embodiment assumes that it starts from the first floor;

[0032] Step s205, the robot arrives at the destination floor with the car, and the elevator controller sends the location of the car floor to each floor station controller;

[0033] Step s206, the robot establishes wireless communication with the landing control device, or sends a trigger signal to the landing controller by voice control or by touching a call button;

[0034] Step s207, the landing controller that receives the trigger signal writes the floor position sent by the elevator controller into its own memory;

[0035] Step s208, the robot determines whether the writing operation has been completed on all floors according to the floor list; if not, it proceeds to step s209; if it has been completed, it proceeds to step s210;

[0036] Step s209, the robot controls the elevator to run to the next floor and repeats the writing process;

[0037] Step s210, exit floor writing mode.

[0041] Step s301, the operator controls the elevator and the robot to enter the floor setting mode;

[0042] Step s302, each elevator controller sends a floor setting mode to the landing controller;

[0043] Step s303, each landing controller enters a state ready to receive floor position and trigger signal;

[0044] Step s304, the elevator controller controls the elevator to run to the first floor. Although this solution does not depend on the order of floors, for the sake of convenience, this embodiment assumes that it starts from the first floor.

[0045] Step s305, the robot arrives at the destination floor with the car, and the elevator controller sends the location of the car floor to each floor station controller;

[0046] Step 306, the robot establishes wireless communication with the landing controller, or sends a trigger signal to the landing controller by voice control or by touching a call button;

[0047] Step s307, the landing controller that receives the trigger signal writes the floor position sent by the elevator controller into its own memory, and sends a write success signal to the elevator controller;

[0048] Step s308, the elevator controller determines whether the writing operation has been completed for all floors according to the confirmation signal sent by the landing controller; if not, it proceeds to step s309; if it has been completed, it proceeds to step s310;

[0049] Step s309, the elevator controller controls the elevator to run to the next floor and repeats the writing process;

[0050] Step s310, exit floor writing mode.

[0051] The present invention has been described in detail above through specific implementation modes and embodiments, but these do not constitute limitations of the present invention. Without departing from the principles of the present invention, those skilled in the art may also make many variations and improvements, which should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention.
