Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of elevator energy saving, and specifically, to an energy storage type elevator energy saving emergency system. Background Art

[0002] The vast majority of elevators on the market are traction elevators, which are designed with a counterweight system. The weight of the car is between 40% and 50% of the counterweight. This means that when the elevator is lightly loaded and moving upward, the counterweight can pull the car upward, and the traction machine does not need to provide power, but resistance. The same is true for heavy loads moving downward. When the elevator is heavily loaded and moving upward, the car side is heavier than the counterweight, and the traction machine needs to provide power to pull the car upward, and the same is true for light loads moving downward.

[0003] The principle of the traction machine is similar to that of an electric motor. It can operate as both a motor and a generator. It provides power when operating as a motor and provides resistance when operating as a generator.

[0004] The traction machine is driven by the inverter. When the traction machine is running in the electric state, the DC bus voltage of the inverter will be lower than that in the standby state. At this time, the inverter will draw power from the mains through the rectifier bridge and supply it to the traction machine after inversion; when the traction machine is running in the power generation state, the bus voltage of the inverter will increase. When it increases to a certain level, the braking resistor is connected to consume the generated power in the form of heat. At present, most elevators on the market use braking resistors, which burn the generated energy in vain. No energy storage and energy feeding devices are used, resulting in energy waste.

[0005] Some elevators are equipped with ARD, which can realize automatic emergency response in case of power outage, but ARD generally uses lead-acid batteries (short life), and ARD batteries are charged with mains electricity, which consumes extra energy. Some elevators use four-quadrant inverters, which can transmit the generated energy back to the power grid, but if the generated energy cannot be consumed in the local area network at the same time, it will not generate economic value. In addition, the current ARD function is to provide automatic leveling, door opening and passenger release for a period of time, and it cannot realize the normal up and down use of the elevator. This is very inconvenient in some occasions, such as shopping malls, and there are great disadvantages. At the same time, after a power outage or abnormal mains electricity, some urgently needed electrical equipment in the home cannot obtain electricity, causing inconvenience in life.
