[0063] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present application more clearly understood, the present application is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present application and are not used to limit the present application.

[0064] The present application provides an elevator-assisting robot.

[0065] like Figure 1 As shown, in one embodiment of the present application, an elevator-assisted robot includes a machine body 100 , a router 200 , a switch 300 , a car communicator 400 , a near-field communication device 500 , and a video panel 600 .

[0066] The machine body 100 includes a communicator 110 and a switching power supply 120 . The switching power supply 120 is connected to the elevator power supply terminal, and the switching power supply 120 is electrically connected to the communicator 110 .

[0067] The router 200 is in communication connection with the communicator 110 .

[0068] The switch 300 is connected to the router 200 for communication, and the switch 300 is connected to the server of the elevator for communication.

[0069] The car communicator 400 is communicatively connected to the switch 300 via an elevator communication cable.

[0070] The near field communication device 500 is communicatively connected with the car communicator 400 .

[0071] The video panel 600 is communicatively connected to the car communicator 400 .

[0072] Specifically, the communicator 110 can adopt LORA communication. In order to ensure high-speed communication of multiple machine bodies 100, the car communicator 400 can be independently interconnected with the switch 300 to overcome the disadvantage of LORA communication that the higher the communication speed, the fewer the number of communication nodes.

[0073] More specifically, the machine body 100 adopts LORA communication to realize the collection of multi-node and multiple data, and through the signal reception of the elevator server, one-to-one transmission of private information can be achieved.

[0074] In fact, in the information communication of the elevator, the managers and visitors of a floor can improve the privacy of the human-machine interaction unit of the elevator equipment through one-to-one transmission and confirmation of private information.

[0075] The present application relates to an elevator-assisting robot, which is connected to a router 200 through a machine body 100 via a communicator 110, and the router 200 can be arranged in an elevator shaft. Generally, the communicator 110 and the router 200 can communicate via wireless communication or broadband communication. The switch 300 is connected to the router 200 for communication, and the switch 300 can be converted into an information relay device for communication connection with the elevator server. In the electrical system of the elevator, the elevator server can serve as an information processing center. The machine body 100, as a part of the hardware device of human-computer interaction, can increase the information collection capability of the electrical system of the elevator. In fact, the near-field communication device 500 and the video panel 600 can be arranged on the machine body 100, or on the inner wall of the elevator car. The near-field communication device 500 and the video panel 600 increase the information collection channel, thereby improving the privacy of the human-computer interaction unit of the elevator equipment.

[0076] like Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment of the present application, the car communicator 400 includes a serial port board 410, a displacement sensor 420 and a serial port communicator 430. The displacement sensor 420 is communicatively connected to the serial port board 410. The serial port communicator 430 is communicatively connected to the serial port board 410. The serial port communicator 430 is communicatively connected to the switch 300 via an elevator communication cable.

[0077] Specifically, the serial port board 410 can provide electrical connection ports and port blind plugging functions. It adopts quick matching of dial code addresses and supports out-of-order connection. The serial port board 410 is electrically connected to the displacement sensor 420, and can support floor status indication and communication indication. The serial port communicator 430 supports quick matching of dial code switch addresses and customization of communication baud rate, supports one-to-one and one-to-many communication, supports transparent transmission of two-way switch input and output, supports RS485 data transparent transmission, and supports disconnection automatic reconnection mechanism.

[0078] like Figure 4As shown, in one embodiment of the present application, the displacement sensor 420 includes a first sensing plate 421, a second sensing plate 422 and a third sensing plate 423. The third sensing plate 423 is perpendicular to the first sensing plate 421. The third sensing plate 423 is perpendicular to the second sensing plate 422. The first sensing plate 421 and the second sensing plate 422 are parallel to each other. The first sensing plate 421 is fixedly connected to the third sensing plate 422. The first sensing plate 421 is fixedly connected to the third sensing plate 423.

[0079] In one embodiment of the present application, the first induction plate 421 is parallel to the extension line of the plumb line. The second induction plate 422 is parallel to the extension line of the plumb line. The third induction plate 423 is parallel to the extension line of the plumb line. The first induction plate 421 and the second induction plate 422 are parallel to each other. A steel wire rope 700 of the elevator equipment is arranged between the first induction plate 421 and the second induction plate 422.

[0080] Specifically, the steel wire rope 700 of the elevator is arranged between the first sensing plate 421 and the second sensing plate 422, which supports the monitoring of the status of going up, going down and leveling of floors, and supports the status data such as the current floor and running speed. The first sensing plate 421 or the second sensing plate 422 is close to one side of the steel wire rope 700, and the first sensing plate 421 or the second sensing plate 422 adopts 38K infrared modulation to resist interference from visible light and original sensors.

[0081] The present application relates to a car communicator 400, which can improve the information collection capability of the elevator-assisting robot and increase the types of information displayed for human-machine interaction.

[0082] like Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment of the present application, the video panel 600 includes a panel body 610, a display screen 620 and a camera 630. The display screen 620 is attached to the side wall of the panel body 610. The display screen 620 is communicatively connected to the car communicator 400. The camera 630 is rotatably connected to the panel body 610. The camera 630 is communicatively connected to the car communicator 400.

[0083] Specifically, the video panel 600 serves as an information collection terminal. It can collect portraits through the camera 630 and transmit the information back in the form of videos and images. It can also receive information and display the received information on the display screen 620.

[0084] like Figure 3As shown, in one embodiment of the present application, the video panel 600 further includes an infrared radar 640. The infrared radar 640 is attached to the panel body 610. The camera 630, the display screen 620 and the infrared radar 640 are arranged in sequence along the extension line direction of the plumb line.

[0085] Specifically, considering the needs of wheelchair users to take the elevator, the distance between the near field communication device 500 and the camera 630 and the standing surface of the user is less than 1 meter. The infrared radar 640 is closest to the standing surface of the user and is used to feedback the signal level of the user approaching.

[0086] In one embodiment of the present application, the camera 630 includes a camera body 631, a bracket 632, a first rotation axis 633, and a second rotation axis 634. The central axis of the first rotation axis 633 is perpendicular to the extension direction of the plumb line. The central axis of the first rotation axis 633 is parallel to the panel body 610. The central axis of the second rotation axis 634 is parallel to the extension direction of the plumb line. The central axis of the second rotation axis 634 is parallel to the panel body 610. The camera body 631 is rotatably connected to the bracket 632 via the first rotation axis 633. The second rotation axis 634 is fixedly connected to the bracket 632.

[0087] The camera 630 further includes a first motor 635 and a second motor 636. The first motor 635 is fixedly connected to the bracket 632. The power shaft of the first motor 635 is rotationally connected to the first rotating shaft 633. The second motor 636 is fixedly connected to the bracket 632. The power shaft of the second motor 636 is rotationally connected to the second rotating shaft 634.

[0088] Specifically, the wide-angle camera 630 is relatively expensive, and its focus is difficult to adapt to faces of people of different heights. Therefore, the present application uses a bracket 632, a first rotating shaft 633, a second rotating shaft 634, a first motor 635, and a second motor 636 as a pan-tilt to ensure the swing, pitch, and other movements of the camera body 631. The pitch movement of the pan-tilt can help the camera body 631 adapt to the heights of different passengers, and the swing movement of the pan-tilt can help the camera body 631 focus clearly.

[0089] like Figure 5 As shown, in one embodiment of the present application, the panel body 610 is attached to the inner wall of the elevator car. The straight-line distance between the panel body 610 and the bottom surface of the elevator car is within a numerical range of greater than or equal to 60 centimeters and less than or equal to 80 centimeters.

[0090] Specifically, the panel body 610 can be arranged on the inner wall of the elevator car, or on the elevator door frame.

[0091] like Figure 5 As shown, in one embodiment of the present application, the panel body 610 is attached to the outer surface of the machine body 100. The height of the machine body 100 is within a numerical range of greater than or equal to 60 cm and less than or equal to 80 cm.

[0092] Specifically, the panel body 610 can be disposed on the machine body 100 , and the machine body 100 can be movable in the car or fixed to the inner wall of the car.

[0093] The present application relates to an elevator-assisted robot. The machine body 100, as a hardware device for human-machine interaction, can increase the information collection capability of the elevator's electrical system. In fact, the near-field communication device 500 and the video panel 600 can be set on the machine body 100 or on the inner wall of the elevator car. The near-field communication device 500 and the video panel 600 increase the information collection channel, thereby improving the privacy of the human-machine interaction unit of the elevator equipment.

[0094] The technical features of the above-described embodiments may be arbitrarily combined, and the execution order of the method steps is not limited. To make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-described embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0095] The above-described embodiments only express several implementation methods of the present application, and the descriptions thereof are relatively specific and detailed, but they cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the present application. It should be pointed out that, for a person of ordinary skill in the art, several variations and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the present application, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the protection scope of the present application shall be subject to the attached claims.
