Detailed Embodiment
[0016] To enable those skilled in the art to more clearly understand the technical solution of the present application, the present utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0017] As Figure 1 shown, a device for testing the absolute encoder of an elevator hoistway includes a tooling rack 1, a sliding platform 2 disposed below the tooling rack 1, and a plurality of hoistway leveling plug plates 3 are spaced on the sliding platform 2; a plurality of absolute encoders 4 are spaced on the lower end surface of the tooling rack 1, and the absolute encoder 4 is electrically connected to the communication test component 5; the horizontal linear movement of the sliding platform 2 drives the hoistway leveling plug plate 3 to pass back and forth through the U-shaped induction area of the absolute encoder 4, and then monitors the data collected by the absolute encoder 4 through the communication test component 5. The communication test component 5 is used to provide power and communication to the absolute encoder 4 and monitor in real time whether the output signal of the device is normal, including power supply and RS485 serial communication. It communicates with the absolute encoder 4 through the RS485 serial communication using a proprietary protocol with the device under test. The DC24V and 0V ports of the test device provide power to the absolute encoder 4. The absolute encoder 4 and the communication test component 5 use four pairs of twisted pairs, DC24V, 0V, A, B.
[0018] Specifically, the sliding platform 2 includes a horizontal platform 21, a guide rail 22, and a servo motor 23. A slider 25 is rotatably arranged on the lead screw 24 of the servo motor 23. The slider 25 cooperates with the guide rail 22 and linearly moves along the guide rail 22. The slider 25 is fixedly connected to the horizontal platform 21, and the hoistway leveling insert plate 3 is fixedly arranged on the horizontal platform 21. As Figure 2 shown, the absolute encoder 4 is of a U-shaped structure. Its bottom wall is fixed to the tooling rack 1, and the U-shaped groove is a U-shaped induction area. The hoistway leveling insert plate 3 can pass through the U-shaped induction area and move back and forth. In a specific embodiment, the absolute encoder 4 and the tooling rack 1 are fastened by bolt parts; three absolute encoders 4 are arranged on the tooling rack 1.
[0019] Furthermore, the device further includes an electric control box 6. The electric control box 6 includes a control start button, a control board, a driver for the servo motor 23, and a power switch. The acquisition signals of the absolute encoder 4 include upper and lower door area signals, upper and lower hoistway forced signals, and re-leveling signals. Limit switches 7 are arranged at both ends of the guide rail 22 to provide limit signals to the servo motor 23 to prevent abnormal jamming. The cooperation between the limit switch 7 and the servo motor 23 is a prior art.
[0020] The specific test process is as follows: The servo motor 23 drives the lead screw 24 to move, driving the slider 25 and the horizontal platform 21 to reciprocate horizontally, driving the hoistway leveling insert plate 3 to slide back and forth across the U-shaped induction area of the absolute encoder 4. At the same time, the communication test component 5 is used to detect whether the data collected by the absolute encoder 4 is correct. The number of reciprocations and the speed of the horizontal platform 21 can be adjusted by adjusting the servo motor 23. One hoistway leveling insert plate 3 represents the door area of one floor.
