[0002] With the acceleration of urbanization and people's pursuit of quality of life, the demand for elevator installation in villas, duplexes, and old residential communities is growing. As a convenient vertical transportation tool, home elevators are gradually becoming an important part of modern residences. Unlike commercial passenger elevators, home elevators have the characteristics of relatively low usage frequency, small passenger capacity, and limited installation space. Therefore, they place higher demands on the control system in terms of safety, comfort, energy efficiency, and personalized experience.

[0003] Currently, most home elevator control systems on the market are simplified or modified from traditional commercial elevator control schemes. Their core control logic usually relies on simple call, response, and position judgment. Specifically, existing home elevator control systems generally use relay and contactor logic circuits or simple programmable logic controllers to realize basic functions such as elevator start-stop, leveling, and door opening and closing. Such systems have a high failure rate and limited functionality, making it difficult to achieve complex intelligent control. In addition, some home elevators use microprocessors as the control core to realize functions such as automatic operation, collective control, and safety protection through preset programs. Although this is more advanced than relay systems, its algorithms and functions are relatively fixed. Based on this, this invention designs an intelligent control system for home elevators to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0062] Example 1;

[0063] Please see Figures 1-5 In this embodiment of the invention, an intelligent control system for a home elevator is characterized by comprising: an environmental sensing module, used to collect user operation commands, elevator operating status parameters, and external environmental data in real time; the operating status parameters include current position, speed, and load mass; and the environmental data includes floor passenger density, ambient noise, and light intensity; a trajectory generation module, connected to the environmental sensing module, used to dynamically generate a target elevator trajectory based on the operating status parameters and user operation commands; the target trajectory includes an acceleration segment, a constant speed segment, and a deceleration segment, and is optimized by an algorithm to achieve smooth start-stop and energy saving; a motor control module, connected to the trajectory generation module, used to control the start-stop, torque, and speed of the drive motor according to the target trajectory, wherein the motor control adopts a closed-loop regulation method and outputs a PWM signal through a frequency converter; and a feedback correction module, connected to the motor control module and the environmental sensing module, used to dynamically correct the target trajectory through real-time feedback signals to achieve precise leveling and energy-saving operation, wherein the correction logic is based on an adaptive algorithm, prioritizing the reduction of unnecessary stops and energy consumption.

[0064] When the trajectory generation module generates the target trajectory:

[0065] Get the current floor position P c and request floor P r ;

[0066] The expected acceleration 'a' is calculated according to the following formula:

[0067]

[0068] Where K a For acceleration proportionality coefficient, t p This is a preset prediction time window;

[0072] Based on the target floor P t Given the load mass m, the predicted travel time is as follows:

[0073]

[0074] Where, k m This is the load time adjustment factor;

[0075] By optimizing the travel time and dynamically adjusting the length of the constant speed segment, frequent speed changes can be avoided.

[0076] The working principle of this invention embodiment is as follows: After the system starts, the environmental perception module first begins to work, collecting user operation commands, elevator operating status parameters, and external environmental data in real time. Among these, the operating status parameters include the elevator's current position P. c Operating speed v c The data includes load mass (m); environmental data covers diverse information such as station pedestrian density (D), ambient noise, and light intensity (L). This data provides a comprehensive input basis for intelligent decision-making in subsequent modules.

[0077] After receiving data from the environmental perception module, the trajectory generation module initiates the dynamic trajectory generation process. This module first obtains the current floor position P. c And the user requested floor P r According to the formula:

[0078]

[0079] Calculate the expected acceleration a, where K aFor the optimized acceleration proportionality coefficient, t p This is a preset prediction time window. Based on this acceleration value, the module generates an S-shaped target velocity curve with acceleration, constant speed, and deceleration segments. This curve characteristic can significantly reduce the impact during elevator start-up and stop, improving ride comfort.

[0080] Furthermore, the trajectory generation module reads the current velocity v c And the load mass m, through the formula:

[0081]

[0082] Predict the total travel time T, where k m This is the load time adjustment coefficient. Based on the prediction results, the module dynamically adjusts the length of the constant speed section to avoid frequent speed changes during elevator operation, thus ensuring operating efficiency and reducing energy consumption.

[0083] The motor control module precisely controls the drive motor using a closed-loop regulation method based on the target trajectory provided by the trajectory generation module. This module outputs a PWM signal through a frequency converter to adjust the motor's start / stop, torque, and running speed in real time, ensuring the elevator operates strictly according to the target trajectory.

[0084] The feedback correction module forms the closed-loop control link of the system. This module continuously monitors the execution effect of the motor control module and the real-time data from the environmental perception module, and dynamically corrects the target trajectory through an adaptive algorithm. When an operational deviation is detected, the module immediately initiates the correction logic, prioritizing the reduction of unnecessary stops and energy consumption, ultimately achieving the combined goals of precise leveling and energy-saving operation.

[0085] Example 2;

[0086] Please see Figures 1-5 In this embodiment of the invention, the trajectory generation module is further configured as follows:

The input is the station monitoring image, and the output is the bounding box and the population count. The confidence threshold is set to 0.7, and the D value is updated every 0.5 seconds.

[0088] The priority weight w is calculated using the following formula:

[0089]

[0090] Where D is the real-time count of people; when w < 0.5, skip unnecessary intermediate stops and navigate directly to the highest priority floor.

[0091] When the motor control module performs speed adjustment:

[0092] Extract the target velocity v from the trajectory data t and current speed v c ;

[0093] Calculate torque command T m The formula is as follows:

[0094]

[0095] Where k t t is the torque gain coefficient. r To accelerate the slope time;

[0096] The torque command is converted into a PWM duty cycle by a PID controller, which drives the motor to synchronously track the target speed.

[0112] The working principle of this invention embodiment is as follows: the trajectory generation module adds a crowd density response function. It collects the crowd density D of each floor in real time using a visual sensor, and then applies the formula:

[0113]

[0114] The priority weight w of each floor is calculated. When the system detects that the weight w of a certain floor is less than 0.5, it automatically executes the intelligent skip-stop strategy, skipping unnecessary intermediate stops and directly navigating to the requested floor with the highest priority, which significantly improves the operating efficiency of the elevator.

[0118] When performing dynamic correction, the feedback correction module focuses on monitoring the actual leveling position P. m With target location P t The error e between them is given by the formula:

[0119]

[0120] Calculations show that when the error e exceeds the allowable threshold ε, the module immediately triggers the trajectory correction mechanism, according to the formula:

[0121]

[0122] Calculate the correction amount ΔT, where k e This is the error compensation coefficient. By adjusting the deceleration point position and recalculating the motor torque command, the elevator's precise leveling performance is effectively ensured.

[0123] Furthermore, the feedback correction module integrates advanced energy-saving control logic. It monitors the car door status via a weight sensor. sGiven the number of passengers N in the car, when the door is detected to be open and the number of passengers N≤1, the system automatically triggers the energy-saving braking logic in advance, canceling the conventional standby delay and directly entering the low-speed operation state. Simultaneously, the module obtains the ambient light intensity L through a photosensor, according to the formula:

[0124]

[0125] Dynamically adjust the brightness B of the car lighting, where k b This refers to the brightness adjustment factor. The system only activates the lighting when the elevator is running, and automatically switches to the lowest power consumption mode when idle, achieving comprehensive energy savings.

[0128] The system retrieves the user's locally stored personalized elevator preferences, including frequently used floors, elevator car lighting brightness, and air conditioning temperature. Based on the recognition results, it automatically sets the destination floor and adjusts the elevator car's internal environmental parameters to provide a customized elevator experience. When applied to residential buildings equipped with multiple elevators, it further includes a group collaborative scheduling module. This module is configured to receive call requests from all floors and the real-time status of each elevator car, including location, load, and registered destination floors. Based on algorithms that minimize total waiting time, balance elevator losses, or optimize overall energy efficiency, it dynamically allocates each call request to the most suitable elevator. It establishes real-time communication among multiple elevators, shares operational intentions, prevents task conflicts, and enables collaborative operation when necessary.

[0129] The working principle of this invention is as follows: The system integrates an emergency rescue module. When a main power failure is detected, this module immediately initiates the emergency response process. The system automatically switches to an emergency mode powered by an independent backup power unit. Based on the real-time load of the elevator car, its current location, and the target floor information, an intelligent algorithm calculates the optimal rescue path. With the support of the emergency power supply, the drive motor is controlled to smoothly move the car to the nearest available floor at a safe speed, achieving precise leveling and automatic door opening operations to ensure the safe evacuation of passengers.

[0130] The system also supports personalized elevator experience features.
