This function adjusts the current speed according to the running requirements of different stages by real-time monitoring the distance between the current position and the target position of the car, so that the car runs smoothly.
[0111] The speed adjustment function of S3-4 focuses on the parking stage and starts when the car approaches the target position (such as within 5 meters of the target point). The core purpose of this function is to ensure that the car can safely and accurately park at the target position by gradually reducing the speed.

[0117] S4-4, after parking, the master command controller compares the actual parking point and the target position data, and if there is deviation, dynamically adjusts the limiting parameters to complete the position correction, and records the parking accuracy.
[0118] It should be noted that the main controller will monitor the position accuracy of the stopping point in the deceleration stage of the skip car, to ensure that the skip car can be accurately parked at the target position. The main controller compares the real-time collected track position signal with the target position data. If it is detected that the stopping point of the skip car deviates from the target position, the system will immediately adjust the stopping parameters to ensure accurate parking of the skip car.

When switching to the standby master, the torque will be adjusted again, and the alarm will be triggered and the fault information will be recorded for the operator to troubleshoot. Specifically, as shown in formula (8) and formula (9):
[0123] Formula (8)
[0124] Formula (9)

[0126] S5-2, when obvious abnormality is detected, shutdown and protection measures need to be taken immediately. For obvious overload or mechanical failure, whether the maximum capacity is exceeded is judged by calculating the overload protection. Whether the slack rope exceeds the allowed value is calculated by the steel wire rope slack detection signal. Specifically, as shown in formula (10) and formula (11):

[0129] wherein, is the actual load torque, is the abnormal tension, is the steel wire rope drum radius, is the transmission system efficiency, is the current slack rope amount, is the steel wire rope length at the time of tension calibration, is the actual length of the steel wire rope under abnormal conditions;
[0130] S5-3, when the master A and master B signal difference exceeds the threshold value, the standby master takes over the system operation, and the specific processing steps include:
[0131] suspend the current operation and record the abnormal signal value; automatically load the standby master parameters; video monitoring synchronously captures the running state of the fault component to provide auxiliary diagnostic basis for the operator;
[0132] S5-4, when the car speed exceeds the safety threshold, the system automatically triggers the double brake and cuts off the power source, and at the same time, through the buffer limiting device, the physical brake of the car is carried out to prevent the expansion of the accident.
[0133] It should be noted that the triggering condition of the standby master is that the master A signal is abnormal, for example, signal loss, exceeding the allowed deviation range or signal interference; the master A and master B signal difference exceeds the set threshold value; the master controller will monitor the signal consistency of master A and master B in real time, and when the abnormality is detected, the system will immediately trigger the standby master switching mechanism.
[0134] The system detects the master A signal abnormality (such as signal interruption, deviation overrun) through the signal monitoring algorithm, suspends the control signal of master A, enables the standby master (master B) to take over the operation, loads the initial parameters of the standby master, including position, speed and acceleration; the standby master recalibrates the current state according to the real-time collected operation data to ensure smooth transition of the system to standby operation mode.

[0141] It should be noted that the trend analysis analyzes the change trend of the speed curve and the position signal to determine whether the operation state conforms to the target curve, such as whether the speed is smooth and whether the parking point is accurate. By comparing multiple operation data, the change trend of the operation efficiency is found.
[0142] Abnormal analysis checks fault information and alarm records, analyzes the specific reasons for abnormal triggering, compares normal operation parameters with abnormal operation parameters, finds out the key influencing factors, and identifies potential equipment problems (such as slack steel wire rope and abnormal track).
