At this time, the first electromagnetic clutch works, and the compressed air passes through the first air pipe 12 and the first one-way electromagnetic valve 13 arranged on the first air pipe 12 to store the air in the air tank 14 for air energy storage. The compressed air in the air tank 14 passes through the second air pipe 15 and the second one-way electromagnetic valve 16 arranged on the second air pipe 15 to drive the air engine main engine 17 to operate and generate power. This power drives the second small wheel 10 on the second electromagnetic clutch 9 to operate, and then drives the second traction machine large wheel 4 to operate through the second belt 8.

[0025] Furthermore, an oil drain valve 20 is provided at the bottom of the gas storage tank 14 .

[0026] An intelligent elevator high-efficiency energy-saving method based on pressure vessel energy conversion, when the elevator car is descending, the first traction machine large wheel 3 is driven by the first small wheel 7 through the first belt 5 to generate compressed air, and the compressed air is stored in the air storage tank 14 through the first air pipeline 12 and the first one-way solenoid valve 13 installed on the first air pipeline 12, so that the potential energy of the elevator car when descending is converted into the potential energy of compressed air and stored in the air storage tank 14; when the elevator car is ascending, the compressed air in the air storage tank 14 drives the air generator main machine 17 to operate through the second air pipeline 15 and the second one-way solenoid valve 16 to generate power, and drives the second small wheel 10 on the second electromagnetic clutch 9 to operate, and then drives the second traction machine large wheel 4 to operate through the second belt 8, so that the compressed air potential energy in the air storage tank 14 is converted into kinetic energy for lifting the elevator car.

[0027] The working principle of the present invention is as follows: utilizing the energy storage function of the pressure vessel gas tank, without changing the power system of the original equipment, an air compression transmission power system and an air start transmission power system are installed at both ends of the elevator traction machine main shaft. The air compression transmission power system is mainly composed of the traction machine main shaft 2, the first traction machine large wheel 3, the first belt 5, the first electromagnetic clutch 6, the air compression main machine 11, the first one-way electromagnetic valve 13 and the air tank 14. The air start transmission power system is mainly composed of the air tank 14, the second one-way electromagnetic valve 16, the air start main machine 17, the second electromagnetic clutch 9, the second belt 8, the second traction machine large wheel 4, and the traction machine main shaft 2.

It has huge energy-saving space and positive energy-saving effects for the huge number of elevators in the country.
