[0074] An elevator car weight in-situ measurement method, using the elevator car weight in-situ measurement device, comprises the following steps:

[0076] S2. Install the speed sensor and attach the magnetic base to the corresponding position so that the speed measuring roller is close to the wire rope or speed limiter rope;
[0077] S3. Connect the voltage test wire and the clamp-type current clamp. Clamp the voltage test wire to the three-phase input terminal of the traction machine or the three-phase output terminal of the control cabinet to the traction machine. Put the current clamp on the wires of the three-phase input terminal of the traction machine according to the color.
[0078] S4. Insert the voltage test wire, current clamp and speed sensor plugs into the corresponding interfaces of the host respectively;
[0079] S5. Check all connections. After confirming that they are correct, turn on the elevator main switch and start the instrument preheating;
[0080] S6. Input parameters, including traction ratio and rated load;
[0081] S7, no-load running test, make the elevator complete a continuous round trip between the two terminal stations;
[0082] S8, obtaining a balance coefficient test value;

[0084] Preferably, if a speed sensor is used to test the speed limiter rope for speed measurement in S6, the traction ratio is set to 1:1.
[0085] Installation Preparation: Disconnect the elevator main switch, ensure the instrument is turned off, and confirm that the on-site environment meets the test requirements. Place the elevator balance coefficient tester near the drive unit to ensure that the unit is stable and there is no risk of falling, sliding, or overturning.
[0086] Install the speed sensor: When the elevator is stopped, securely attach the magnetic base to a solid metal surface near the hanging wire rope or speed governor rope. Adjust the angle so that the spring on the magnetic base can pull the speed measuring roller of the speed sensor tightly against the wire rope or speed governor rope through tension to prevent it from slipping or deviating during the elevator operation test.
[0087] Connect the voltage test lead and the clamp-on current clamp:
[0088] Clip the wire clips of three voltage test wires (model UE, red, yellow, and green) to the three-phase input terminal of the traction machine or the three-phase output terminal of the control cabinet to the traction machine in sequence, making sure that the colors correspond;
[0089] Put three clamp-type current clamps (model CT, red, yellow, and green) on the wires of the three-phase input terminal of the traction machine according to their colors. The current direction must be consistent with the marking on the clamp body (from the control cabinet to the traction machine).
[0090] Connect the instrument interface: Insert the voltage test line, current clamp and speed sensor plugs into the corresponding interfaces of the host (voltage test socket, current clamp socket, speed test socket) respectively.
[0091] Inspection and start-up: Check all connections to ensure they are away from the elevator's moving parts and operating parts; after confirming that the installation is correct, turn on the elevator's main switch, start the instrument to preheat, and prepare for testing.
[0092] Input parameters: The parameters that need to be input include (such as traction ratio, rated load, etc.), which can be directly entered according to the screen content. Click the input bar to display the numeric keyboard.
[0093] No-load running test: Click "Start" to start the test function of the tester. After starting the test, the elevator should complete a continuous round trip between the two terminals, that is, it should drive directly from one terminal to another terminal, stop, and then drive directly back to the original terminal.
[0094] Obtaining the balance coefficient test value: After the elevator stops, click "Calculate" to obtain the balance coefficient test value. You can also click the "Calculate" button immediately after clicking the "Start" button. The instrument will automatically calculate the balance coefficient each time the elevator stops and display the most recently calculated balance coefficient value.
[0095] Determine the weight of the car: The instrument will automatically calculate the weight of the car and counterweight (m according to the collected data such as power (P0, P1), speed (V0, V1), time difference (t) and balance coefficient value, combined with the formula 和 ), weight difference (m 差 ), and finally output the car weight and counterweight weight.
[0096] Finally, it should be noted that the above descriptions are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art will be able to modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments or substitute equivalents for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention shall be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
