Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of elevator detection, and particularly relates to an abnormal working detection system and method for a lever drum brake of an elevator traction machine. Background Art

[0002] The components of an elevator drum brake include a brake wheel (the brake wheel is connected to a rotating shaft), a brake arm, an electromagnetic coil, brake shoes, and a brake spring. When the elevator traction machine starts, the holding brake contactor closes, the electromagnetic coil is energized, the electromagnet core is attracted and pushes the brake arm, the brake arm pushes open the brake spring, the brake shoes leave the brake wheel, and the elevator can start running. When the elevator stops, the holding brake contactor releases, the electromagnetic coil loses power, the brake arm returns to its original position under the pressure of the brake spring, the brake shoes fit on the brake wheel, and the elevator stops running.

[0003] Generally speaking, the direct cause of elevator brake failure is that the brake shoes of the brake fail to close effectively or the braking force provided after closing is insufficient. If the brake shoes of the brake are in an abnormal condition and cannot close, there will always be a gap between the brake wheel and the brake shoes whether the elevator is in the running state or the stopped state. Insufficient braking force is often caused by excessive wear of the brake shoes. Excessive wear of the brake shoes will cause too large a gap between the brake shoes and the brake wheel when the brake shoes open. Therefore, by detecting the gap between the brake wheel and the brake shoes, it is possible to determine whether the elevator brake is working properly and thus discover potential hazards in a timely manner.

[0004] There are various methods to achieve gap measurement. In addition to the traditional manual measurement, there are also eddy current measurement methods, capacitive sensor measurement methods, etc. When the elevator is running, the brake wheel is also rotating all the time. It is difficult to measure the gap between the rotating brake wheel and the brake shoes by the traditional manual measurement method. The capacitive sensor measurement method calculates the distance between two measurement surfaces by measuring the capacitance formed by two electrodes installed on the measurement surface. However, since the brake wheel may be in a rotating state during the measurement process, it is impossible to ensure that the measurement device on one side of the brake wheel and the measurement device on one side of the brake shoe are always opposite. The eddy current sensor measurement method is a method of obtaining the distance between the probe and the metal surface by detecting the influence of the eddy current generated on the surface of the metal conductor on the magnitude and phase of the current in the metal probe. This method requires the probe to face the surface of the brake wheel to be measured, and the sensor needs to be installed at the position of the brake shoe relative to the surface of the brake wheel by mechanical means. The installation process will affect the original structure of the brake shoe and may create new safety hazards.

[0005] The Chinese patent with the authorization announcement number CN112197715B discloses a method for detecting the gap between the brake wheel and the brake shoe of an elevator based on image recognition. Through an image processing method, the method can measure the arc gap width between the brake wheel and the brake shoe of the elevator brake in a non-contact manner, and then obtain the opening and closing conditions of the brake wheel and the brake shoe at the current moment, so as to realize the real-time monitoring of the working conditions of the brake shoes of the elevator brake.

[0006] However, the above-mentioned solution can only judge the opening and closing conditions of the brake wheel and the brake shoe at the current moment by the gap width between the brake shoes, and cannot further judge whether there is jamming or insufficient braking ability during the operation of the brake, which cannot help maintenance personnel further troubleshoot problems and cannot improve the judgment of brake failures. Summary of the Invention

[0007] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a detection system and a detection method for abnormal operation of a lever drum brake of an elevator traction machine to solve the problems existing in the background technology.

[0008] The purpose of the present invention is achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0009] A detection system for abnormal operation of a lever drum brake of an elevator traction machine is used to detect the lever drum brake. The lever drum brake is located on one side of the traction machine and the traction wheel. The lever drum brake, the traction machine and the traction wheel are all connected by the same rotating shaft. The detection system includes a reporting device, a data processing device, a CCD camera, an encoder and an electrical measurement component. The CCD camera, the encoder and the electrical measurement component are respectively electrically connected to the input end of the data processing device, and the output end of the data processing device is electrically connected to the input end of the reporting device;

[0010] The CCD camera is located on the braking side of the lever drum brake. The encoder is connected to one end of the rotating shaft, and the electrical measurement component is electrically connected to the electromagnetic coil of the lever drum brake.

[0011] Further, an adjustment bracket is provided at the bottom of the CCD camera.

[0012] Further, the encoder is located on the side of the traction machine away from the traction wheel.

[0013] Further, the electrical measurement component uses a power quality analyzer or a power analyzer.

[0014] Further, the reporting device is connected to a computer or a mobile phone through an APP.

[0015] A detection method for abnormal operation of a lever drum brake of an elevator traction machine includes the following steps:

[0016] S1: Record the images of the brake fully opened and fully closed during the normal operation of the elevator through a CCD camera, and judge the brake gap size by the number of pixel points in the image. When the number of pixels is 0, it means the brake is fully closed;

[0017] S2: Multiple CCD cameras respectively measure the gaps at different parts when the brake is opened, and respectively obtain the number of pixels m1, m2, m3... of the brake gaps at different parts;

[0018] Measure the voltage and current of the electromagnetic coil through an electrical measurement component, and record the voltage U1 of the electromagnetic coil when the brake is opened, the voltage U2 of the electromagnetic coil when the brake is closed, the current A1 of the electromagnetic coil when the brake is opened, and the current A2 of the electromagnetic coil when the brake is closed;

[0019] The encoder detects the rotation speed of the rotating shaft (i.e., the elevator running speed) in real time;

[0020] S4: Store parameters and perform calculations through a data processing device. During the process of the brake closing, record the moment T1 when the voltage of the electromagnetic coil changes from U1 to U2; record the moment T2 when the brake gap changes from m1, m2, m3... to 0; record the moment T3 when the rotating shaft stops completely from rotating through the encoder;

[0021] Through the formula: T2 - T1 = A,

[0022] where A is the action time from the power failure of the electromagnetic coil to the complete closing of the brake arm;

[0023] Through the formula: T3 - T2 = C,

[0024] where C is the braking time from the contact between the brake arm and the brake wheel to the complete stop of the elevator;

[0025] S5: During the process of the brake opening, record the moment T4 when the voltage of the electromagnetic coil changes from U2 to U1; record the moment T5 when the brake gap changes from 0 to m1, m2, m3...;

[0026] Through the formula: T5 - T4 = B,

[0027] where B is the action time from the power-on of the electromagnetic coil to the complete opening of the brake arm;

[0028] S6: When A and / or B become larger, there is jamming during the action process of the lever drum brake; when C becomes larger, the braking force of the lever drum brake is insufficient;

[0029] S7: Report the cause of the fault to the staff through an inspection reporting device.

[0030] The beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0031] 1) The detection system has a simple structure, is easy to install, and will not damage the structures of the traction machine, traction wheel, and lever drum brake itself.

[0032] 2) It can automatically monitor the brake gap and can detect abnormalities in the elevator brake in a timely manner.

The lever drum brake 1 includes components such as a brake wheel 13 (the brake wheel 13 is connected to the rotating shaft 4), a brake arm 11, an electromagnetic coil 14, a brake shoe 12, and a brake spring. When the traction machine 2 starts, the brake contactor closes, the electromagnetic coil 14 is energized, the electromagnet core is attracted and pushed to drive the brake arm 11, the brake arm 11 pushes open the brake spring, the brake shoe 12 leaves the brake wheel 13, and the elevator can start running. When the elevator stops, the brake contactor releases, the electromagnetic coil 14 loses power, the brake arm 11 returns to its original position under the pressure of the brake spring, the brake shoe 12 fits on the brake wheel 13, and the elevator stops running.

[0041] The abnormal working detection system of the lever drum brake of the elevator traction machine includes an inspection reporting device, a data processing device, a CCD camera 5, an encoder 6, and an electrical measurement component 7.

[0042] The CCD camera 5 is located on the brake side of the lever drum brake 1, and images of the brake gap are taken through the CCD camera 5.

[0043] One end of the encoder 6 is connected to the rotating shaft 4 through a coupling. The encoder 6 is located on the side of the traction machine 2 away from the traction wheel 3. The rotation speed of the rotating shaft 4 (i.e., the running speed of the elevator) is detected in real time through the encoder 6, and the encoder 6 can accurately reflect the movement conditions of the rotating shaft 4 and the traction wheel 3 in real time.

[0044] The electrical measurement component 7 is electrically connected to the electromagnetic coil 14 of the lever drum brake 1. The electrical measurement component 7 uses a power quality analyzer or a power analyzer, can synchronously measure parameters such as voltage and current in real time, and has Bluetooth or Wi-Fi functions at the same time, is connected to the data processing device, and records data in real time through the data processing device.

[0045] The data processing device can be a small host or a mobile device, and the data processing device can be placed in the elevator room.

[0046] The inspection reporting device is connected to a computer or a mobile phone through an APP, a cloud platform, etc. The inspection reporting device can also be a mobile device, which is convenient for the operators to receive detection information at any time.

[0047] Further, an adjusting frame 51 is provided at the bottom of the CCD camera 5.

At the same time, multiple CCD cameras 5 can be set to shoot different parts of the brake gap.

[0048] Embodiment 2:

[0049] An abnormal working detection method for the lever drum brake of an elevator traction machine includes the following steps:

[0050] S1: Record the images of the brake being fully opened and the brake being fully closed during normal operation of the elevator through the CCD camera 5, and judge the size of the brake gap by the number of pixel points in the images. When the number of pixels is 0, it means that the brake is fully closed;

[0051] S2: Multiple CCD cameras 5 respectively measure the clearances at different parts when the brake is opened, and respectively obtain the number of pixels m1, m2, m3... of the brake clearances at different parts;

[0052] Measure the voltage and current of the electromagnetic coil 14 through the electrical measurement component 7, and record the voltage U1 of the electromagnetic coil 14 when the brake is opened, the voltage U2 of the electromagnetic coil 14 when the brake is closed, the current A1 of the electromagnetic coil 14 when the brake is opened, and the current A2 of the electromagnetic coil 14 when the brake is closed;

[0053] The encoder 6 detects the rotation speed of the rotating shaft 4 in real time (i.e., the elevator running speed);

[0054] S4: Store parameters and perform calculations through the data processing device. During the process of the brake closing, record the moment T1 when the voltage of the electromagnetic coil 14 changes from U1 to U2; record the moment T2 when the brake clearances change from m1, m2, m3... to 0; record the moment T3 when the rotating shaft 4 stops rotating completely through the encoder 6;

[0055] Through the formula: T2 - T1 = A,

[0056] where A is the action time from the power failure of the electromagnetic coil 14 to the complete closing of the brake arm 11;

[0057] Through the formula: T3 - T2 = C,

[0058] where C is the braking time from the contact of the brake arm 11 and the brake wheel 13 to the complete stop of the elevator;

[0059] S5: During the process of the brake opening, record the moment T4 when the voltage of the electromagnetic coil 14 changes from U2 to U1; record the moment T5 when the brake clearances change from 0 to m1, m2, m3...;

[0060] Through the formula: T5 - T4 = B,

[0061] where B is the action time from the power-on of the electromagnetic coil 14 to the complete opening of the brake arm 11;

[0062] S6: When A and / or B become larger, that is, during the process of the brake closing, the action time from the power failure of the electromagnetic coil 14 to the complete closing of the brake arm 11 becomes longer; or during the process of the brake opening, the action time from the power-on of the electromagnetic coil 14 to the complete opening of the brake arm becomes longer. At this time, it can be considered that there is jamming during the action process of the lever drum brake 1, and the brake arm cannot lock the brake wheel in time;

[0063] When A and B remain unchanged and C becomes larger, the braking time from the contact of the brake arm 11 and the brake wheel 13 to the complete stop of the elevator becomes larger. It can be considered that the braking force of the lever drum brake 1 is insufficient, and it is necessary to check the braking effect of the brake and check the brake shoes, etc.;

[0064] S7: Report the cause of the fault to the staff through the inspection device.

[0065] Through this method, it is possible to automatically monitor the brake gap, and anomalies in the elevator brake can be detected in a timely manner; at the same time, it is possible to effectively determine the cause of the failure of the lever drum brake 1, which facilitates the corresponding maintenance by the operators, reduces the troubleshooting time, and improves the maintenance efficiency.
