Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of elevators, and in particular to a guide rail adjusting device. Background Art

[0002] During the installation of elevator guide rails, there is usually a calibration tool. While adjusting the posture of the guide rail, the installer needs to observe the reference baseline of the calibration tool. The reference baseline is generally a reference wire or laser beam in the shaft. When observing the position between the baseline and the tool, the worker needs to move the observation point several times for confirmation. Due to the poor lighting conditions in the elevator shaft and the relatively small baseline, this kind of observation and confirmation is time-consuming and inefficient.

[0003] At present, there are some solutions for guide rail installation, which mainly focus on automatic calibration of guide rails (for example, Chinese patent document 202220203717.6, or calibration tooling (for example, Chinese patent document 202311282624.2), but the installation and adjustment of these automatic calibration devices themselves are relatively cumbersome and far less convenient than manual ones; the calibration tooling looks more practical, but in fact, the preliminary installation of these tooling and the application of the guide rail adjustment process are not easy. Installers often still use manual knocking to adjust the guide rails, and they observe the calibration device while knocking the guide rails. It is relatively easy to knock the guide rails, but observing the calibration tooling is a technical job, and the wrong observation angle or direction often causes installation deviations. Summary of the invention

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is how to provide a simple and convenient technical solution for installing the auxiliary guide rail.

[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides a guide rail adjustment device, comprising a guide rail precision adjuster, a positioning identification device, a guide rail adjustment action identification device, a guide rail adjustment guidance device and a reference baseline;

[0006] The guide rail precision adjuster has a detection portion, and when the guide rail precision adjuster is fixed on the guide rail, the reference baseline is accommodated in the detection portion;

[0007] The positioning identification device is used to identify the relative position of the reference baseline and the detection part, and to determine the deviation of the guide rail position;

[0008] The guide rail adjustment action recognition device is used to recognize the guide rail adjustment action;

[0009] The guide rail adjustment guidance device provides guidance information for adjusting the guide rail according to the deviation of the guide rail position;

[0010] The reference baseline is a reference line in the elevator shaft used to determine the installation position of the car guide rail and ensure the verticality and parallelism of the guide rail. Preferably, it is a suspended positioning wire in the elevator shaft or a positioning laser beam perpendicular to the ground in the elevator shaft.

[0011] Preferably, the guide rail precision adjuster comprises a device frame and a fixing device, and the detection part is arranged on the device frame; the fixing device is connected to the device frame and is used to fix the guide rail precision adjuster on the guide rail.

[0012] Preferably, the guide rail adjustment action recognition device and the guide rail adjustment guiding device are fixed on the device frame.

[0013] Preferably, the positioning identification device determines the deviation of the guide rail position based on a preset template of the relative position of the identified reference baseline and the detection part.

[0014] Preferably, the method for obtaining the preset template is: installing the guide rail adjustment device on the reference guide rail, the reference guide rail refers to the guide rail that has been adjusted to a reference position that meets the installation requirements; identifying the relative position of the reference baseline and the detection part through a positioning identification device, and defining the relative position as the preset template.

[0015] Preferably, the positioning identification device is fixed on the device frame.

[0016] Preferably, the positioning identification device is a photoelectric identification device or a grating identification device, which identifies the relative position of the reference baseline and the detection part through spatial conversion.

[0017] Preferably, the positioning and identifying device is a camera, which identifies the relative position of the reference baseline and the detection part by comparing with an image of a preset template.

[0018] Preferably, the guidance information for adjusting the guide rail is one or more of the following methods: Method 1, identifying the difference between the relative position of the reference baseline and the detection part and the preset template; Method 2, the moving direction or rotation direction of the guide rail that needs to be adjusted; Method 3, the moving direction and degree, or the rotation direction and degree, of the guide rail that needs to be adjusted.

[0019] Preferably, the guide rail adjustment action recognition device is a sound recognition device, an acceleration sensor or a trigger button.

[0020] Preferably, the guide rail adjustment guiding device is a speaker, a buzzer or a display.

[0021] Preferably, the reference baseline is a positioning wire or a positioning laser beam.

[0022] Compared with the prior art, through the feedback mechanism between the guide rail adjustment device of the present invention and people, installation workers no longer need to judge the installation status of the guide rails. They only need to adjust the guide rails according to the instructions issued by the guide rail installation and adjustment device, which greatly speeds up the guide rail adjustment.

[0023] The position of the guide rail installation is determined by the machine, eliminating human error. There is no need to observe the position repeatedly from multiple angles, which greatly improves the efficiency of guide rail installation and adjustment.

[0024] This highly efficient human-machine combined guide rail adjustment method makes the guide rail adjustment process an interesting interactive game, and combined with the assistance of voice and / or sound and light, it will also make the work process easier and more enjoyable.

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.

[0030] Example 1

[0031] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment provides a guide rail adjustment device, including a guide rail precision adjuster 4, a positioning identification device 3, a guide rail adjustment action identification device 5, a guide rail adjustment guiding device 6 and a reference baseline 2;

[0032] The guide rail precision adjuster 4 has a detection portion 41. When the guide rail precision adjuster 4 is fixed on the guide rail 1, the reference baseline 2 is accommodated in the detection portion 41.

[0033] The positioning identification device 3 is used to identify the relative position of the reference baseline 2 and the detection part 41, and to determine the deviation of the guide rail position;

[0034] The guide rail adjustment action recognition device 5 is used to recognize the adjustment action of the guide rail 1;

[0035] The guide rail adjustment guidance device 6 provides guidance information for adjusting the guide rail according to the deviation of the guide rail position;

[0036] The reference baseline 2 may be a positioning steel wire or a positioning laser beam. In this embodiment, a positioning steel wire is taken as an example.

[0037] The guide rail precision adjuster 4 comprises a device frame and a fixing device, and the detection part 41 is arranged on the device frame; the fixing device is connected to the device frame and is used to fix the guide rail precision adjuster 4 on the guide rail 1.

[0038] The positioning identification device 3, the guide rail adjustment action identification device 5, and the guide rail adjustment guiding device 6 are fixed on the device frame.

[0039] like Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the detection part 41 is a concave rectangular notch set on the device frame. The positioning recognition device 3 determines the deviation of the guide rail position according to the preset template of the relative position of the positioning wire 2 and the detection part 41 identified.

[0040] The positioning recognition device 3, the guide rail adjustment action recognition device 5 and the guide rail adjustment guiding device 6 exchange information via wired / wireless means.

[0041] An example of using the guide rail adjustment device of this embodiment to adjust the guide rail is as follows:

[0042] After the installer installs or adjusts the guide rail, the guide rail adjustment action recognition device 5 recognizes that there is an operation of installing or adjusting the elevator guide rail 1, triggering the positioning recognition device 3 to sample the relative position of the positioning wire 2 in the hoistway and the detection part 41, and judging the degree of displacement / deflection of the elevator guide rail 1 based on the preset template of the relative position of the positioning wire 2 in the hoistway and the detection part 41. The guide rail adjustment method guidance device gives a reverse adjustment plan according to the above judgment, and the installer implements the measures to adjust the guide rail according to the given plan. This cycle is repeated until the positioning recognition device 3 recognizes that the deviation between the relative position of the positioning wire 2 in the hoistway and the detection part 41 and the preset template of the relative position of the positioning wire in the hoistway and the detection part is within the set range. The method for obtaining the preset template is: install the guide rail adjustment device on the reference guide rail, the reference guide rail refers to the guide rail that has been adjusted to the reference position that meets the installation requirements; identify the relative position of the reference baseline and the detection part through the positioning recognition device, and define the relative position as the preset template.

[0043] The positioning recognition device 3 is a photoelectric recognition device or a grating recognition device, which recognizes the relative position of the reference baseline and the detection part through spatial conversion. Alternatively, the positioning recognition device is a camera, which recognizes the relative position of the reference baseline and the detection part by comparing with the image of a preset template.

[0044] There is at least one positioning and identification device, and in this embodiment, there are two. There is a button or a communication interface on the positioning and identification device, and the sampling template of the positioning and identification device can be set through the button / communication interface.

[0045] Exemplarily, the guide rail adjustment action recognition device 5 is a sound recognition device. For example, the microphone captures the soundprint information of a hammer hitting the guide rail, and after obtaining the characteristic signal, the positioning recognition device is triggered to sample. Alternatively, the guide rail adjustment action is determined by recognizing a specific voice, such as a microphone captures a human voice signal, and after obtaining the characteristic signal, the positioning recognition device is triggered to sample.

[0046] Exemplarily, the guide rail adjustment action recognition device 5 is an acceleration sensor, which determines the guide rail adjustment action by identifying a specific acceleration. The acceleration sensor is installed on the guide rail or on the guide rail precision adjuster. When the installed / adjusted guide rail is moved and / or knocked, the acceleration sensor calculates the displacement and / or vibration characteristics, thereby identifying the operation of installing / adjusting the guide rail. When the movement and / or vibration of the guide rail stops, the positioning recognition device is triggered to sample.

[0047] Exemplarily, the guide rail adjustment action recognition device 5 is a trigger button installed on the guide rail precision adjuster. When the installer presses the trigger button, the positioning recognition device is triggered to sample.

[0048] Exemplarily, the guide rail adjustment action recognition device 5 is a remote control device with a button, and when the installer presses the button on the remote control, the positioning recognition device is triggered to sample. Exemplarily, the guide rail adjustment guidance device 6 is a speaker, which outputs voice signals or sound signals of different frequencies.

[0049] Voice signals include, for example, the following prompts: "a little to the left", "a little to the left", "a little to the right", "a little to the right", "a little clockwise", "a little clockwise", "a little counterclockwise", "a little counterclockwise", "OK", "perfect", "OK", etc. You can even add some interesting interactive voices, such as: "You are awesome", "You are an experienced driver". You can also introduce evaluation methods in games to rate and grade the adjustment process. This turns the adjustment process into a game process, making the installer happy physically and mentally.

[0050] Exemplarily, the guide rail adjustment guidance device 6 is a buzzer, which uses different frequencies or sounding intervals or a combination of durations to prompt the direction / method in which the guide rail needs to be adjusted.

[0051] Exemplarily, the guide rail adjustment guidance device 6 is a display, such as a liquid crystal screen or an LED array with a number greater than or equal to 4. Figure 3 .

[0052] Exemplarily, the guide rail adjustment guidance device 6 is a combination of a sound and a display device.

[0053] The guide information for adjusting the rails is one or more of the following:

[0054] Method 1: Identify the difference between the relative position of the reference baseline and the detection part and the preset template;

[0055] Method 2: The moving direction or rotating direction of the guide rail needs to be adjusted;

[0056] Method 3: The moving direction and degree, or the rotating direction and degree, of the guide rail need to be adjusted.

[0057] 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.
