Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of elevator technology, specifically to a rapid positioning and information interaction system for elevator emergency rescue. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid pace of urbanization, the number of elevators in use has surged, reaching 12 million units nationwide in 2024. Elevator malfunctions have led to increasingly prominent safety issues, such as frequent entrapment incidents, causing significant disruption to people's lives and daily routines. Traditional elevator rescue methods face numerous challenges: difficulty in locating trapped individuals, hindering timely and accurate arrival of rescuers; incomplete and untimely malfunction information, impacting rescue decisions; lack of effective supervision during maintenance, leading to instances of fraudulent repairs; and reliance on paper documents for rescue and maintenance operations, resulting in low efficiency, error-proneness, and inconvenience in storage and retrieval. Therefore, this paper proposes a rapid positioning and information exchange system for elevator emergency rescue. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In view of this, the present invention provides a rapid positioning and information interaction system for elevator emergency rescue, so as to solve or alleviate the technical problems existing in the prior art, and at least provide a beneficial option.

[0004] The technical solution of the present invention is implemented as follows: a rapid positioning and information interaction system for elevator emergency rescue, including a personnel detection module, a fault detection and judgment module, a rapid positioning module, an information interaction module, and a paperless operation module.

[0005] In a further preferred embodiment, the personnel detection module is equipped with a high-sensitivity microphone inside the elevator car to continuously collect sound signals. The system uses advanced speech recognition and sound analysis algorithms to distinguish between normal environmental noise, equipment operating sounds, and distress calls from personnel. Once a distress call, such as shouting or banging, is detected, a signal indicating that someone is trapped is quickly sent to the system control center, along with the sound collection time and preliminary assessment of the situation of the personnel inside the car, providing crucial clues for rescue.

[0006] In a further preferred embodiment, the fault detection and judgment module uses a Linux system kernel in the edge computing gateway and collects elevator fault and operation data in real time through multiple communication methods such as RS232, RS485, and CAN. The gateway can accurately obtain key information such as fault codes, operating speed, floor location, and safety circuit status, and, combined with preset fault logic rules, determine the fault type and severity. During maintenance, the gateway continuously monitors elevator status data. If the data returns to normal and meets safety operation standards after maintenance, the maintenance is deemed effective; if the data is abnormal or does not meet the standards, a maintenance anomaly alarm is issued, indicating that there may be false maintenance or incomplete maintenance.

[0007] In a further preferred embodiment, the rapid positioning module, combined with the elevator's own floor position detection system and IoT positioning technology, immediately acquires the elevator's precise floor and building location information when the elevator malfunctions or receives a signal indicating that people are trapped. Utilizing auxiliary technologies such as base station positioning, Wi-Fi positioning, or Bluetooth positioning, it further improves positioning accuracy in complex building environments. Through electronic maps and navigation functions, it plans the optimal rescue route for rescue personnel and updates the relative position of rescue personnel and the elevator in real time, ensuring that rescue personnel can quickly reach the scene.

[0008] In a further preferred embodiment, the information interaction module is equipped with an emergency communication device inside the elevator car, establishing a two-way voice communication channel with the rescue command center. Trapped personnel can directly communicate with rescuers to describe their entrapment and physical condition. Rescuers can soothe the trapped personnel and provide necessary self-rescue guidance. The system can share and interact with property management, maintenance units, and government emergency response platforms. When an elevator malfunctions, the system automatically sends a rescue request containing information such as the elevator location, malfunction type, and the trapped personnel to relevant units. During the rescue process, all parties can exchange information on rescue progress and resource allocation in real time to collaboratively complete the rescue mission.

[0009] In a further preferred embodiment, the paperless operation module allows rescue personnel to record the rescue process using a mobile terminal, including arrival time, troubleshooting steps, repair operations, and repair time, and upload this information to the system's cloud storage. When performing routine maintenance and repair work, maintenance personnel fill out an electronic maintenance form through the APP, recording detailed maintenance items, inspection results, and information on replaced parts. The property elevator management APP confirms the form by hand signature and can also upload on-site photos, videos, and other materials. The electronic maintenance form is automatically stored in the system database for easy querying, statistics, and traceability.

[0010] The embodiments of the present invention have the following advantages due to the adoption of the above technical solutions:

[0011] First, the personnel detection module and rapid positioning module of this invention work together to enable rescuers to quickly determine the location of trapped personnel and plan the best rescue route, significantly shortening the rescue response time and reducing the suffering and danger of trapped personnel. The information interaction module enables real-time communication among multiple parties, ensuring accurate transmission of rescue instructions and rational allocation of resources, improving the coordination and efficiency of rescue operations. The fault detection and judgment module effectively supervises the maintenance process, avoids false repairs, ensures that the elevator meets the safety operation standards after maintenance, prevents secondary faults, and protects the subsequent safety of elevator passengers.

[0012] Second, the paperless operation module records the rescue and maintenance process in detail, providing a basis for subsequent analysis and experience summarization, which helps to continuously improve the quality of rescue and maintenance work. The paperless operation module facilitates data storage, query and statistical analysis. Property management, maintenance units and regulatory departments can obtain historical elevator rescue and maintenance data at any time, providing strong support for making management decisions.

[0013] Third, trapped passengers can communicate with rescue personnel in a timely manner when elevators malfunction, receiving psychological comfort and self-rescue guidance, thus reducing panic. Rapid and effective rescue services also enhance users' trust in elevator safety and improve their riding experience.
