Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of elevators, and in particular to a method, system, electronic device and storage medium for handling elevator entrapment failures. Background Art

[0002] At present, with the popularity of villa elevators, their safety issues have gradually attracted attention. When an elevator malfunctions, it is easy to cause a person to be trapped. Once a person is trapped, while waiting for rescue, the trapped person is in a small elevator car, which is prone to psychological problems such as fright and panic. Especially for villa elevators used by owners at home, once a person is trapped, it is difficult to be discovered in some extreme cases.

[0003] The rescue process of people trapped in traditional elevators: elevator operation → people trapped → passengers trapped → passengers calling for help → monitoring room receiving → maintenance intervention → passengers rescue → troubleshooting → resuming operation. In the entire rescue process, from passengers calling for help, to the monitoring room receiving the distress signal, and then maintenance intervention, these three links often take up more time. Moreover, when a villa elevator has a trapping fault, the rescue process will be more complicated and lengthy due to the private nature of the villa elevator. In some cases, it may not be possible to respond in time, resulting in people trapped in the car for a long time, or in the absence of emergency contact equipment, passengers may not be able to effectively call for help.

[0004] With regard to the problem in the related technology that elevator entrapment failures cannot be handled in a timely manner, no effective solution has been proposed so far. Summary of the invention

[0045] In this embodiment, a method for handling a person trapped in an elevator is provided. Figure 2 FIG. 1 is a flow chart of the method for handling a person trapped in an elevator fault according to the present embodiment. Figure 2 As shown, the process includes the following steps:

[0046] Step S201, determining whether a person-trapping failure occurs in the elevator.

[0047] Specifically, the elevator control system includes an elevator logic control module, a drive module and a car top control module. The elevator logic control module is used to process various elevator signals and belongs to the information processing center. The drive module is used to receive instructions sent by the elevator logic control module and drive various hardware devices to operate during the operation of the elevator. The car top control module is used to detect the operation of the car and feedback the detected signal to the elevator logic control module. During the normal operation of the elevator carrying passengers, if it is detected that there are people in the elevator and it has not reached the target floor, it will stop suddenly. It is determined that the elevator has a trapped person fault, and a trapped person signal 1 can be output to start the elevator trapped person fault processing process.

[0048] Step S202, when it is determined that the elevator is in a non-leveling position, start controlling the elevator to level the floor.

[0049] Specifically, after determining that an elevator has trapped people, the elevator logic control main board first determines the floor the elevator is on. If the elevator is in the leveling door area at this time, the elevator car door is controlled to open directly to release the people. If the elevator is in a non-leveling door area position, the elevator is started to control the elevator to the nearest leveling floor, so that the car stops at the nearest leveling door area position to open the door and release the people.

[0050] Step S203, when the start-up control of the elevator to the nearest leveling is invalid, according to the self-rescue signal, after determining that the elevator meets the safety conditions, control the opening of the brake and start the electronic star seal to make the elevator slide to the leveling position.

[0051] Specifically, after a trapped passenger fault occurs in the elevator, when starting to control the elevator to level at the nearest floor is ineffective, that is, when the elevator cannot be controlled to level at the nearest floor, the automatic leveling system of the elevator may malfunction. The reasons for the malfunction include but are not limited to the failure of the electrical control system, sensor failure, or mechanical component jamming, etc. At this time, a signal indicating that the elevator control system is ineffective in leveling at the nearest floor is sent to the elevator logic control module, and then the automatic rescue mode is entered. The elevator logic control module sends a self-rescue signal trigger prompt to the passengers. For example, through the voice in the car, the passengers are prompted that "the current elevator is in a trapped passenger fault state, and a distress signal can be initiated by long pressing the self-rescue button". At this time, the elevator logic control module controls the self-rescue button in the car to be in an operable state, allowing the passengers to initiate a distress signal. After receiving the self-rescue signal, the elevator first determines whether the elevator is in a safe condition, detects the current position and state of the elevator, such as whether the position of the elevator is clear, whether the doors of the elevator are in a safely closed state, etc. When it is determined that the current situation of the elevator meets the safety conditions for implementing the rescue, the elevator logic control module sends a signal to open the elevator brake to the brake. When the brake receives the signal to open the elevator brake, it performs the operation of opening the elevator brake, and the traction machine rotates freely, driving the elevator car and the counterweight to move up and down, and the elevator coasts. At the same time, electronic star connection is started. In this embodiment, electronic star connection is adopted. Electronic star connection means using power electronic devices (such as IGBTs) to short-circuit the three-phase windings of the motor in a star shape. Its main function is to ensure the safety of passengers by restricting the coasting speed of the elevator. Using the existing drive module in the system, when a trapped passenger fault occurs in the elevator, the opening and closing of the inverter bridge in the drive module are controlled through electronic circuits to achieve star connection, without the need to use an additional star connection contactor, simplifying the automatic processing equipment for trapped passenger faults in the elevator. According to the mass of the car and the counterweight, electronic star connection coasting is carried out. If the mass of the car is greater than the mass of the counterweight, after the brake is opened, the car will coast downwards. After starting the electronic star connection, the coasting speed of the car is controlled to make the car coast safely to the nearest floor. If the mass of the car is less than the mass of the counterweight, after the brake is opened, the car will coast upwards. After starting the electronic star connection, the coasting speed of the car is controlled to make the car coast safely to the nearest floor. After opening the brake and starting the electronic star connection to make the elevator car coast, the position of the elevator car is detected in real time. When it is detected that the elevator car reaches the floor position, the elevator brake is lowered, and the electronic star connection is stopped, so that the elevator car stops at the floor. At this time, the elevator logic control module sends a command to open the elevator doors to the drive module, and the drive module executes the door opening command to open the elevator doors, and the passengers are released from the elevator car, achieving the effect of rescuing passengers when a trapped passenger fault occurs in the elevator. By opening the brake and starting the electronic star connection to coast the elevator car to the nearest floor, during this process, there is no need to cut off the power supply of the elevator control system. The elevator control system is in a powered-on state throughout the process, and the elevator control system can continue to work, avoiding panic caused to passengers by power-off, improving the user experience, and also enhancing the safety.

[0052] Through the above steps S201 to S203, it is determined that the elevator has a trapped passenger fault; when it is determined that the elevator is not at the leveling position, enter the automatic leveling mode, start to control the elevator to level near the current floor; when the control to level the elevator near the current floor is ineffective, enter the automatic rescue mode, and according to the self-rescue signal, when it is determined that the elevator meets the safety conditions, control to open the brake and start the electronic star sealing, so that the elevator coasts to the leveling position. Compared with the prior art where the trapped passengers in the elevator are rescued manually when the elevator has a trapped passenger fault, in this application, when it is detected that the elevator has a trapped passenger fault, the elevator is first tried to level automatically. When the automatic leveling of the elevator is ineffective and on the basis of determining that the elevator meets the safety conditions, automatic rescue is carried out, the brake is opened and the electronic star sealing is started, so that the elevator coasts to the leveling position. During this process, the trapped passengers are rescued through the automatic processing of signals by the elevator control system, and there is no need for power-off processing throughout the process, which improves the processing speed of the elevator trapped passenger fault, also enhances the user experience, and improves the safety of the elevator.

[0053] In some of the embodiments, determining that the elevator has a trapped passenger fault includes: when it is determined that the elevator is in the manned state, when it is detected that the elevator has not reached the target floor, no light curtain occlusion signal is obtained, and the elevator is detected to be in the stopped state, it is determined that the elevator has a trapped passenger fault.

[0054] Specifically, the elevator light curtain is used to identify whether someone enters or exits the elevator. The occlusion of the light curtain indicates that someone enters or exits the elevator. The target floor is the floor registered by the passengers in the elevator car. During the process of the elevator starting and running with passengers to the target floor, when it is detected that the light curtain is not occluded, the elevator has not reached the target floor yet, but the elevator stops, at this time, it can be determined that the elevator has a trapped passenger fault. This embodiment does not need to rely on external components, and can determine whether there is a trapped passenger fault only through the state of the elevator itself.

[0055] In one of the embodiments, determining that the elevator is in the manned state includes: when the elevator is at the leveling position, obtaining the elevator door state, the light curtain occlusion signal, and the in-car registration signal; when it is detected that the elevator door opens and then closes in place, and the light curtain occlusion signal and the in-car registration signal are obtained, it is determined that the elevator is in the manned state.

[0056] Specifically, first determine whether there are passengers in the car. If there are passengers, then determine whether a trapped passenger fault has occurred. For the detection of whether there are passengers in the car, compared with the prior art of detecting whether there are passengers in the elevator car through a camera and a human body induction sensor, in this embodiment, whenever the elevator is in the leveling position, first obtain the elevator door state, the light curtain occlusion signal, and the in-car registration signal, that is, whether the elevator door has the action of opening and then closing in place, whether a light curtain occlusion signal is generated, and whether an in-car registration signal is generated. When it is detected that the elevator door opens and then closes in place, a light curtain occlusion signal is generated, and combined with the detection of the in-car registration signal, it is determined that there are passengers in the car of this elevator, and the current elevator state is the manned state. Among them, the subsequent elevator trapped passenger fault judgment process is started by outputting a signal that there are people in the elevator. If it is detected that there are no people in the elevator, the elevator trapped passenger fault handling process is not triggered. This embodiment does not need to rely on external components, and only determines whether the elevator is manned through the state of the elevator itself, simplifies the elevator detection system, and reduces the detection cost.

[0057] In some of these embodiments, when it is determined that the elevator is in a non-leveling position, start controlling the elevator to level to the nearest floor, including:

[0058] When it is determined that the elevator is in a non-leveling position, according to the preset number of fault resets and the reset time interval, repeatedly perform fault clearing and resetting, and start controlling the elevator to run to the nearest leveling position after each fault clearing and resetting, until the elevator is successfully controlled to run to the nearest leveling position;

[0059] When reaching the last time in the preset number of fault resets, first mask the target logic fault, then perform fault clearing and resetting, and then start controlling the elevator to run to the nearest leveling position.

[0060] Specifically, when it is detected that the elevator has a trapped passenger fault, for example, receiving the above-mentioned trapped passenger signal 1, and it is detected that the elevator is in a non-leveling position, trigger the elevator automatic leveling processing flow, perform fault reset processing on the elevator, and restore the elevator control system to a known and stable state. The error state, temporary data, or other problem-causing states in the elevator control system program are cleared through automatic fault reset, so that the system is restored to the normal and stable detection state. During this reset process, the elevator control system is not powered off, and the recovery program is automatically executed by the elevator control system. Among them, in this embodiment, the fault reset processing includes two types: clearing the fault for resetting and performing fault clearing and resetting after masking the target logic fault.

[0061] First, set in advance the number of attempts for elevator fault reset, for example, 3 times, and set in advance the time interval between each reset attempt, for example, 30 seconds. Prioritize fault clearance and reset, and repeatedly perform fault clearance and reset operations according to the preset number of trapped passenger fault resets and reset time intervals. By clearing the faults, the elevator is restored to the normal operating state, enabling the elevator car to run and dock at the nearest landing, and opening the elevator door to release the passengers. When all fault clearance and reset attempts fail before the last reset, that is, before reaching the last fault clearance and reset, and the elevator car fails to run successfully, then at the last reset, select some Class B logic faults as target logic faults, specifically including brake feedback switch faults, upper and lower forced deceleration faults, main machine thermal faults, weighing CAN communication anomalies, etc., which have no impact on the safety of the elevator's automatic leveling. First, mask the selected target logic faults, and then clear and reset all faults, so as to achieve smooth leveling and open the elevator door to release the passengers. It should be noted that a logic fault refers to a fault in the logic main board of the logic control module.

[0062] Figure 3 is the fault automatic reset flowchart of the elevator trapped passenger fault handling method in this embodiment, as Figure 3 shown, the automatic reset process of the trapped passenger fault includes:

[0063] Step S301, determine whether there are trapped passengers in the car. If so, execute Step S302; otherwise, execute Step S308;

[0064] Step S302, clear the trapped passenger fault and perform automatic reset;

[0065] Step S303, determine whether the start of leveling is successful. If so, execute Step S308; otherwise, execute Step S304;

[0066] Step S304, determine whether the number of trapped passenger fault clearance and reset times has reached the preset number. If so, execute Step S305; otherwise, execute Step S302;

[0067] Step S305, mask the target logic faults;

[0068] Step S306, clear the trapped passenger fault;

[0069] Step S307, determine whether the start of leveling is successful. If so, execute Step S308; otherwise, execute Step S309;

[0070] Step S308, end;

[0071] Step S309, output that the automatic reset process fails, and execute Step S308.

[0072] In another embodiment, when starting to control the elevator to approach the landing is ineffective, according to the self-rescue signal, and when it is determined that the elevator meets the safety conditions, control to open the brake and start the electronic star sealing, so that the elevator coasts to the landing position, including:

[0073] When starting to control the elevator to approach the landing is ineffective, first shield the target drive fault, then clear the drive fault, and control the elevator to output a guiding self-rescue message;

[0074] When receiving the self-rescue signal, determine whether the elevator meets the safety conditions. When it is determined that the elevator meets the safety conditions, control to open the brake and start the electronic star sealing, so that the elevator coasts to the landing position.

[0075] Specifically, when starting to control the elevator to approach the landing is ineffective, that is, the automatic landing fails, then output a trapped person signal 2. After receiving the trapped person signal 2, enter the automatic rescue mode. The elevator logic control system first shields the target drive fault, where the target drive fault is part of the Class B drive faults such as speed following faults that do not affect the safety during star sealing and coasting, to ensure the normal progress of the star sealing and coasting process. Then clear all drive faults to prevent the elevator from continuing to attempt to move to the target floor, thus avoiding possible unsafe conditions. Then control the elevator to output a guiding self-rescue signal for passengers, for example, through a voice in the car to prompt passengers that "the current elevator is in a trapped person fault state, and you can initiate a help signal by pressing and holding the self-rescue button". After receiving the self-rescue signal sent by the passenger, first determine whether the elevator is in a safe condition, detect the current position and state of the elevator, such as whether the position of the elevator is clear, whether the doors of the elevator are in a safely closed state, etc. When it is determined that the current situation of the elevator meets the safety conditions for implementing the rescue, control to open the brake of the elevator, and start the electronic star sealing, and control the car of the elevator to coast to the landing position. It should be noted that the drive fault refers to the fault of the drive main board in the drive module.

[0076] In one of the embodiments, the self-rescue signal can be a continuous signal sent by pressing and holding the self-rescue button.

[0077] Specifically, in this embodiment, a self-rescue button is provided in the car. After the automatic reset of the elevator trapped person fault fails, the elevator logic control module sends a self-rescue prompt to the passengers, prompting the passengers to press and hold the self-rescue button to start the self-rescue program. Among them, the passengers need to press and hold the self-rescue button so that the elevator logic control module receives a continuous self-rescue signal before the self-rescue program can be triggered, improving the safety of the elevator.

[0078] In some of the embodiments, determining whether the elevator meets the safety conditions includes:

[0079] When the safety circuit signal of the elevator is conducting, the position of the elevator has not had a loss fault, and the light curtain of the elevator is not blocked, determine that the elevator meets the safety conditions; otherwise, it does not meet the safety conditions.

[0080] Specifically, in the case of automatic reset failure of the trapped person fault, it is necessary to start the electronic star sealing to achieve automatic rescue of passengers. Before starting the electronic star sealing, in order to further ensure safety, it is necessary to detect the current state of the elevator to determine whether the elevator meets the safety conditions. First, the elevator logic control module receives the self-rescue signal initiated by the passenger and starts the automatic rescue program. Then, it detects whether the safety loop signal of the elevator is conducting. The conduction of the safety loop signal indicates that there is no safety fault in the elevator; the car position is detected in real time. If the position is lost, it is impossible to accurately judge the position of the car, and there is a risk in the rescue. Specifically, it can be judged by whether the deviation between the detected car position and the position predicted by the absolute position system is within the preset threshold range. If it is greater than the preset threshold range, there is a position loss fault; it is also necessary to judge whether the light curtain of the elevator is blocked. If the light curtain of the elevator is blocked, it indicates that there is a situation where people enter or exit the elevator, and the elevator movement must be stopped. When the safety loop signal is connected, the position detection system is normal, and the light curtain is not blocked, it is determined that the elevator meets the safety conditions, and then the brake can be opened to start the electronic star sealing to make the car coast. It should be noted that the above safety conditions are continuously detected, including during the process of opening the brake and starting the electronic star sealing. As long as one of them is not met, it is determined that the elevator does not meet the safety conditions, and the elevator brake is lowered to prohibit the electronic star sealing from coasting.

[0081] In some of these embodiments, when it is determined that the elevator meets the safety conditions, after controlling to open the brake of the elevator and start the electronic star sealing to make the elevator coast to the leveling position, it further includes:

[0082] Real-time monitoring of the running speed, running time, and running position of the elevator;

[0083] Judging whether the running speed of the elevator is greater than the preset speed threshold. If so, controlling the elevator brake to stop running;

[0084] Judging whether the elevator reaches the target leveling position within the preset time period. If not, controlling the elevator brake to stop running;

[0085] Judging whether the elevator is in the end station blind layer position. If so, controlling the elevator brake to stop running.

[0086] It should be noted that the running here refers to the coasting movement of the elevator.

[0087] Specifically, after starting the electronic star sealing and coasting, monitor the coasting process. When the following situations occur, it is necessary to lower the elevator brake to stop coasting and stop running.

[0088] Case 1: Detect the car slipping speed in real time, preset a maximum safe slipping speed in advance as the slipping speed threshold, and determine whether the real-time slipping speed of the car is greater than this speed threshold. If it exceeds the threshold speed, it is determined that there may be an accidental risk of the current car slipping. At this time, control the elevator brake to drop, stop the slipping, and do not allow the electronic star sealing slipping to be started again.

[0089] Case 2: Detect the current position of the elevator car and the position of the target landing to be reached, calculate the time required to reach the target landing by slipping through electronic star sealing. After starting the electronic star sealing to slip the car, count the slipping time of the car. If the slipping time exceeds the preset required time and the car has not reached the landing position, it is determined that there may be a slipping failure or accident. At this time, control the elevator brake to drop, stop the slipping, and do not allow the electronic star sealing slipping to be started again.

[0090] Case 3: In general, there is a terminal blind landing in the elevator floors. The terminal blind landing is a landing position where the elevator is not allowed to stop. There may be no landing door set on this floor and it is not accessible. When the car of the elevator slips to the terminal landing position, judge the landing position to see if it is a terminal blind landing. If this floor is a terminal blind landing, control the elevator brake to drop, stop the slipping, and do not allow the electronic star sealing slipping to be started again.

[0091] Until the car slips to the landing position in a safe state, drop the brake, the process ends, and the elevator door is opened to let people out.

[0092] In this embodiment, a method for handling elevator entrapment faults is also provided. Figure 4 It is a flowchart of another method for handling elevator entrapment faults in this embodiment, as Figure 4 shown, and this process includes the following steps:

[0093] Step S401, when it is detected that the elevator door is closed in place after opening and the light curtain occlusion signal and the elevator car registration signal are obtained, it is determined that the elevator is in the manned state;

[0094] Step S402, when it is determined that the elevator is in the manned state, when it is detected that the elevator has not reached the target floor, the light curtain occlusion signal has not been obtained, and the elevator is in the stopped state, it is determined that the elevator has an entrapment fault;

[0095] Step S403, judge whether the elevator is at the landing position. If so, execute step S423; otherwise, execute step S404;

[0096] Step S404, according to the preset fault reset times and reset time intervals, repeatedly perform fault clearing and reset, and start to control the elevator to run to the nearest landing position after each fault clearing and reset;

[0097] Step S405: Determine whether the elevator has run to the nearest leveling position. If so, execute Step S423; otherwise, execute Step S406;

[0098] Step S406: Determine whether it is the last time among the preset fault reset times. If so, execute Step S407; otherwise, execute Step S404;

[0099] Step S407: First, mask the target logic fault, then perform fault clearing and reset, and then start controlling the elevator to run to the nearest leveling position;

[0100] Step S408: Determine whether the elevator has run to the nearest leveling position. If so, execute Step S423; otherwise, execute Step S409;

[0101] Step S409: First, mask the target drive fault, then clear the drive fault, and control the elevator to output guiding self - rescue information;

[0102] Step S410: Determine whether a self - rescue button signal has been received. If so, execute Step S411; otherwise, execute Step S422;

[0103] Step S411: Determine whether the light curtain of the elevator is blocked. If so, execute Step S422; otherwise, execute Step S412;

[0104] Step S412: Determine whether the safety circuit signal is connected. If so, execute Step S413; otherwise, execute Step S422;

[0105] Step S413: Determine whether a position loss fault of the elevator has occurred. If so, execute Step S422; otherwise, execute Step S414;

[0106] Step S414: Open the brake and start the electronic star - sealing coasting;

[0107] Step S415: Determine whether the car has not reached the target floor within the preset duration. If so, execute Step S418; otherwise, execute Step S416;

[0108] Step S416: Determine whether the speed of the star - sealing coasting exceeds the preset speed threshold. If so, execute Step S418; otherwise, execute Step S417;

[0109] Step S417: Determine whether the elevator is at the blind floor position of the terminal station. If so, execute Step S418; otherwise, execute Step S419;

[0110] Step S418: Lower the brake, stop the star - sealing coasting, and do not allow self - rescue; and execute Step S421;

[0111] Step S419: Determine whether it is the target flat floor position. If so, execute Step S420; otherwise, execute Step S410.

[0112] Step S420: Release the brake, stop the electronic star connection and coasting, open the elevator door, and let passengers out.

[0113] Step S421: End.

[0114] Step S422: Release the brake, stop the electronic star connection and coasting, and return to execute Step S410.

[0115] Step S423: Open the elevator door, let passengers out, and execute Step S421.

[0116] Through the above Steps S401 to S423, when receiving the elevator entrapment fault signal, first determine whether there are passengers in the car. In the case of having passengers, enter the elevator automatic leveling mode, first perform the automatic reset process for the entrapment fault, start the automatic reset entrapment fault program. If the entrapment fault is still not cleared, enter the automatic rescue mode, prompt the user to operate the self-rescue button. After receiving the self-rescue signal of the self-rescue button, where the self-rescue signal is the signal of long pressing the self-rescue button, which is a continuous and uninterrupted signal, open the elevator brake to perform electronic star connection and coasting for the elevator, so that after the elevator coasts to the flat floor position, open the elevator door. Among them, in this application, first realize the first-step elevator entrapment fault rescue through automatic fault reset, including automatically clearing the fault reset and clearing the fault reset again after shielding some logic faults. In the case of automatic reset failure, start the electronic star connection system to perform electronic star connection and coasting rescue. Among them, compared with the motor star connection used in the prior art, the electronic star connection does not require an external star connection contactor, does not need to cut off the power supply of the elevator during the rescue, keeps the power supply on throughout the process, and the control system of the elevator can continue to work, improving the safety of the elevator. This application performs rescue through software processing, receives and processes signals through the logic control board for rescue, improving the rescue efficiency.

[0117] Figure 5 It is a schematic structural diagram of the elevator entrapment fault processing system in this embodiment, applying the elevator entrapment fault processing method described in any one of the above embodiments, as Figure 5 shown. The elevator entrapment fault processing system 50 includes: an elevator logic control board 51, a drive control board 52, a car top control board 53, a self-rescue button 54, and an electronic star connection system 55, where:

[0118] The self-rescue button 54 is arranged in the elevator car 56; the self-rescue button 54 is connected to the car top control board 53; the car top control board 53 is connected to the elevator logic control board 51; the drive control board 52 is connected to the elevator logic control board 51; the elevator logic control board 51 controls the electronic star connection system 55; the electronic star connection system 55 is used to limit the running speed of the elevator during rescue.

[0119] Specifically, the elevator entrapment fault handling system 50 includes an elevator logic control board 51, a drive control board 52, and a car top control board 53. The elevator logic control board 51 is equipped with data interaction interfaces such as RS422 interfaces and CAN interfaces, and also has input and output interfaces for logic signals, on-board buttons, and a data tube display interface. The drive control board 52 is communicatively connected to the elevator logic control board 51 via RS422, and the car top control board 53 is communicatively connected to the elevator logic control board 51 via CAN. The car top control board 53 is equipped with data interaction interfaces such as RSL interfaces and CAN interfaces, and the self-rescue button 54 is mounted on the RSL bus of the car top control board 53.

[0120] The elevator logic control board 51 is used to obtain the previous and current states of the elevator to determine whether there are trapped passengers. When it detects trapped passengers, it attempts to automatically reset the fault and level the elevator car to the nearest floor. When the attempt to automatically reset the fault fails, it temporarily masks some logic faults and tries again to level to the nearest floor. If the elevator still cannot be started and leveled, the elevator automatically enters the automatic rescue mode. In this mode, the self-rescue button 54 is activated. After masking some drive faults, the drive faults are cleared. When the in-car self-rescue button is pressed, the elevator logic control board 51 automatically determines whether the current state allows the brake to be opened for electronic star sealing and coasting. On the premise of ensuring safety, the brake is opened to perform electronic star sealing and coasting to the leveling position, and the door is opened to release the passengers at the same time.
