Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of elevators, and particularly to a double-car elevator system for robot elevator rides. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of artificial intelligence and robotics technologies, robots are being used more and more widely in various fields. When the elevator ride needs of robots encounter those of human passengers, there may be a scenario where robots and humans share an elevator. Robots usually operate according to preset programs and routes, and may carry goods or perform specific tasks. Sharing a car with passengers may pose safety hazards such as collisions and cargo drops, resulting in inconvenience and concerns when passengers share the car with robots. Therefore.

[0003] Chinese patent document CN116891175A discloses a technical solution of an elevator car with a cabin partition system. By setting a partition system in the middle of the car cabin to isolate robots and passengers, it has the following problems:

[0004] 1. Although there is an isolation railing, during the actual elevator ride, especially when there are many passengers or the robot operation is not precise enough, there is still a risk that the robot accidentally crosses the isolation railing and collides with passengers;

[0005] 2. Robots may carry dust, stains, or even special working substances during operation. Even if the isolation railing is lowered in the proposed solution, the robot may still spread pollutants to the passenger area during entry and exit, especially in the area near the isolation railing;

[0006] 3. When an emergency such as a robot malfunction or fire occurs during the elevator ride, due to the proposed solution not being able to completely isolate, the protection ability is relatively limited, resulting in the spread of danger to the passenger area.

[0007] Therefore, how to reduce the impact of robots taking the elevator on passengers is a current technical problem. Summary of the Invention

[0008] To solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides a double-car elevator system for robot elevator rides, including a first car, a second car, an identification device, and a control device;

[0009] The first car is for passengers to ride, and the first car has a first car door; the second car is for robots to ride, and the second car has a second car door; the first car and the second car are horizontally fixedly connected;

[0010] The recognition device is used to recognize passengers and robots; when the recognition device recognizes that a passenger is waiting for the elevator, the control device controls the opening of the first car door after the arrival of the first car; when the recognition device recognizes that a robot is waiting for the elevator, the control device controls the opening of the second car door after the arrival of the second car.

[0011] Preferably, a control button is provided in the first car, and the control button is used to lock the second car door; when the control button is in the locked position, the control device controls the closing of the second car door.

[0012] Preferably, a monitoring panel is provided in the first car, and the monitoring panel is used to monitor the situation inside the second car.

[0013] Preferably, a robot fixing device is provided in the second car.

[0014] Preferably, a robot charging device is provided in the second car.

[0015] Preferably, a wireless communication system is provided in the second car; the wireless communication system is used to communicate with the robot and locate the robot.

[0016] The present invention can provide a stable exclusive space for different elevator-riding entities, effectively avoiding the adverse effects of robots on passengers. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0017] The following further describes the present invention in detail in conjunction with the drawings and specific embodiments:

[0019] Figure 2 It is a schematic diagram of the control device in Embodiment 1. SPECIFIC EMBODIMENTS

[0020] The following specific embodiments illustrate the implementation manners of the present invention. Those skilled in the art can fully understand other advantages and technical effects of the present invention from the content disclosed in this specification. The present invention can also be implemented or applied through different specific implementation manners. The details in this specification can also be applied based on different viewpoints, and various modifications or changes can be made without departing from the overall design concept of the invention. It should be noted that, without conflict, the following embodiments and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other. The following exemplary embodiments of the present invention can be implemented in many different forms and should not be construed as being limited only to the specific embodiments described herein. It should be understood that these embodiments are provided to make the disclosure of the present invention complete and thorough, and to fully convey the technical solutions of these exemplary specific embodiments to those skilled in the art.

[0021] Embodiment 1

[0022] As Figure 1 shown, this embodiment provides a double - car elevator system for a robot to take the elevator, including a first car 1, a second car 2, an identification device 3, and a control device (not shown in the figure).

[0023] The first car 1 is for passengers to ride in, and the first car 1 has a first car door; the second car 2 is for robots to ride in, and the second car 2 has a second car door;

[0024] The first car 1 is horizontally and fixedly connected to the second car 2; there is a partition 6 that makes the first car 1 and the second car 2 not communicate with each other.

[0025] The identification device 3 is used to identify passengers and robots; when the identification device 3 identifies that a passenger is waiting for the elevator, the control device controls the opening of the first car door after the first car arrives; when the identification device 3 identifies that a robot is waiting for the elevator, the control device controls the opening of the second car door after the second car arrives.

[0026] As Figure 2 shown, the first car is provided with a floor button 9 and a control button 8, and the control button 8 is used to lock the second car door; when the control button 8 is in the locked position, the control device controls the second car door to close. When a passenger is in a hurry and not convenient to take the elevator with a robot, the passenger can press the control button 8. At this time, the second car door is locked, and even if there is a robot waiting for the elevator, the second car door will not respond.

[0027] The first car is provided with a monitoring panel 10, and the monitoring panel 10 is used to monitor the situation in the second car. So that when a special situation occurs to the robot in the second car, the passenger can take necessary measures.

[0028] The second car is provided with a robot fixing device 5, which effectively prevents the danger that may be caused by the robot moving around randomly.

[0029] The second car is provided with a robot charging device 4. The second car is provided with a wireless communication system; the wireless communication system is used to communicate with the robot and locate the robot.

[0030] By adopting a double - car elevator system customized for passengers and robots respectively, the present invention can provide an exclusive elevator - riding space for different elevator - riding entities, effectively avoiding any contact risks between passengers and robots in the car. The passenger car is equipped with an intelligent system suitable for human elevator - riding, ensuring the controllability of passengers over robot elevator - riding.

[0031] The present invention has been described in detail through specific embodiments and examples above, but these do not constitute a limitation to the present invention. Without departing from the principle of the present invention, those skilled in the art can also make many modifications and improvements, which should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention.
