Description

Technical Field

[0002] The traction machine is one of the core components of an elevator system, mainly used to traction the elevator car to move up and down via steel cables. In the elevator operation system, a multi-traction system is a technical solution to improve the efficiency, stability and safety of elevator operation. Traditional elevators usually use a single traction machine to drive the car up and down, while a multi-traction system uses two or more traction machines to work simultaneously. By having multiple traction machines work at the same time, the load can be distributed more effectively, supporting heavier loads or faster speeds. This helps reduce problems caused by the failure of a single motor, increases the redundancy and reliability of the system, and reduces the mechanical stress on each traction machine due to the distribution of force, which helps extend the service life of the equipment. However, the synchronicity of the coordinated work of multiple traction machines is directly related to the quality of elevator operation. Utility Model Content

It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present invention and not intended to limit it. Furthermore, it should be noted that, for ease of description, the accompanying drawings show only the parts relevant to the present invention, not the entire structure.

They are used only for ease of description and simplification of operation, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation.

[0029] This embodiment provides a multi-traction synchronization system that can pull the elevator car up and down in the elevator shaft, achieve precise synchronization of multiple traction machines, and thus improve the stability of elevator operation.

[0030] Please see Figure 1 A multi-traction synchronization system includes a traction device, a monitoring device, and a control center. The traction device is used to pull the car 10 up and down. The monitoring device is used to monitor the status of the multiple traction machines 1. The control center is used to determine whether the multiple traction machines 1 are synchronized based on the monitoring data, and to adjust the abnormal traction machines 1 to achieve synchronized operation of the multiple traction machines 1, thereby improving the stability of elevator operation.

[0031] Specifically, the traction device includes a drive unit, a traction rope 2, and multiple traction machines 1. The multiple traction machines 1 are all installed on the top of the car 10, and the multiple traction machines 1 are all connected to the drive unit. The drive unit is used to drive the traction wheel 11 of the traction machine 1 to rotate, thereby pulling the car 10 up and down. The traction rope 2 is used to connect the traction machine 1 and the car 10.

[0032] For example, multiple traction machines 1 are arranged in two rows, with the two rows of traction machines 1 installed on both sides of the car 10. Each traction machine 1 at the edge of the row has a traction rope 2 on its traction sheave 11. One end of the traction rope 2 alternately passes over the traction sheaves 11 of the other traction machines 1 in the same row and is then fixed to the counterweight. When the traction sheaves 11 rotate, the traction rope 2 is retracted, causing the car 10 to rise and the counterweight to fall. When the traction sheaves 11 rotate in the opposite direction, the traction rope 2 is released, causing the car 10 to fall and the counterweight to rise. It should be noted that the traction sheaves 11 of the two rows of traction machines 1 rotate in opposite directions to ensure that the two rows of traction machines 1 act synchronously on the raising and lowering of the car 10.

[0033] The traction device also includes a timing pulley 3, which is installed on the top of the car 10. The middle of each traction rope 2 is fixed to the timing pulley 3. With the above arrangement, during the raising or lowering of the car 10, the traction pulleys 11 of the two traction machines 1 rotate in opposite directions, and the forces exerted by the two traction ropes 2 on the timing pulleys 3 are opposite. When the forces acting on the timing pulleys 3 cancel each other out, the timing pulleys 3 do not rotate. When the forces acting on the timing pulleys 3 are unbalanced, the timing pulleys 3 rotate.

[0034] The monitoring device includes an encoder 4, specifically mounted on the synchronous pulley 3. With the above configuration, the synchronous pulley 3 serves as the medium for transmitting the rotation of the traction sheaves 11. The rotation data of the synchronous pulley 3 represents the synchronization status of multiple traction sheaves 11 in different columns. The encoder 4 collects the sum of the overall rotation data of the two columns of traction sheaves 11 in real time, which is also the rotation data of the synchronous pulley 3, and generates it as an electronic signal.

[0035] Preferably, encoder 4 is an absolute rotary encoder.

[0036] The control center is connected to the drive unit and encoder 4. The control center receives the electronic signal generated by encoder 4 and analyzes the electronic signal to determine whether the two traction machines 1 are synchronized. Then, the drive unit adjusts the speed of the abnormal traction machine 1 to achieve synchronous operation of multiple traction machines 1.

[0037] Further, please refer to Figure 2 The control center includes a signal receiving module, a signal analysis module, and a signal transmission module. The encoder 4 is connected to the signal receiving module, which is configured to receive electronic signals generated by the encoder 4. The signal analysis module is connected to the signal receiving module and is configured to determine whether multiple traction machines 1 are synchronized. The signal transmission module is connected to the signal analysis module and the drive component, and is configured to generate control signals based on adjustment parameters (i.e., the rotation data of the synchronous pulley 3) and transmit them to the drive component.

[0038] In some feasible embodiments, the control center also includes a storage module connected to the signal analysis module. The storage module is configured to pre-store a synchronization error range. After receiving the synchronization error range stored in the storage module, the signal analysis module determines whether the multiple traction machines 1 are synchronized. Specifically, the signal analysis module analyzes the rotation data of the synchronization wheel 3 based on electronic signals, compares the rotation data of the synchronization wheel 3 with the synchronization error range. When the multiple traction wheels 11 are synchronized, the rotation data of the synchronization wheel 3 is within the synchronization error range; when the multiple traction wheels 11 are out of sync, the rotation data of the synchronization wheel 3 exceeds the synchronization error range.

[0039] Optionally, the signal analysis module includes a calculation unit and a comparison unit. The calculation unit is connected to the signal receiving module and is configured to receive electronic signals and analyze the rotation data of the synchronous wheel 3. The comparison unit is connected to the storage module, the calculation unit, and the signal transmission module. The comparison unit is configured to receive the rotation data of the synchronous wheel 3 and compare it with the synchronization error range stored in the storage module to determine whether the multiple traction wheels 11 are in a synchronized state and transmit it to the signal transmission module.

[0040] Furthermore, the computing unit is also connected to the signal transmission module. When multiple traction wheels 11 are in different states, the computing unit directly transmits the rotation data of the synchronous wheel 3 to the signal transmission module. The signal transmission module receives the adjustment parameters (i.e., the rotation data of the synchronous wheel 3) and generates control signals. After receiving and analyzing the control signals, the drive component drives the traction machine 1 of the abnormal column to adjust the speed, so as to adjust the speed of the two columns of traction wheels 11 to be synchronized.

[0041] In this embodiment, the drive unit can control the two traction machines 1 individually so as to make targeted speed adjustments. For example, the drive unit includes a signal unit and two drive units. The signal unit is connected to the signal transmission module and is configured to receive and analyze the control signal. The two drive units are both connected to the signal unit and correspond one-to-one with the two traction machines 1. The drive unit is configured to drive the traction machine 1 of the corresponding column to run.

[0042] Specifically, the drive unit drives the traction sheave 11 connected to any of the traction machines 1 in its corresponding column, and drives the traction sheave 11 of that column of traction machines 1 to run synchronously through the traction rope 2.

[0043] Please see Figure 3 This embodiment also provides a control method for a multi-traction synchronization system, which has a high degree of automation and rapid response.

[0044] Specifically, it includes the following steps:

[0045] S1. The multi-traction system is in operation. The encoder 4 collects the rotation data of the synchronous pulley 3 in real time and generates electronic signals.

[0046] S2. The control center receives electronic signals and determines whether the two traction machines 1 are synchronized. If they are not synchronized, it proceeds to S3. If they are synchronized, it returns to S1.

[0047] S3, The control center controls the drive components to adjust the speed of the traction machine 1 in the abnormal column.

[0048] S1 includes:

[0049] S11. Multiple traction machines 1 are running, and encoder 4 collects the rotation data of synchronous pulley 3 in real time;

[0050] S12, encoder 4 generates electronic signals from rotation data;

[0051] S13 and encoder 4 transmit electronic signals to the control center.

[0052] Specifically, multiple traction machines 1 are started and run to pull the elevator car 10 up and down. The encoder 4 enters the working state, collects the rotation data of the synchronous wheel 3 in real time, and generates the rotation data into an electronic signal. Further, the electronic signal is transmitted to the control center, for example, to the signal receiving module of the control center.

[0053] S2 includes:

[0054] S21, The signal receiving module receives electronic signals;

[0055] S22, The signal analysis module determines whether the two traction machines 1 are synchronized.

[0056] To elaborate, S2 includes:

[0057] S221, The signal analysis module analyzes the rotation data of the synchronous wheel 3 based on the electronic signal;

[0058] S222: The signal analysis module compares the rotation data of the synchronous wheel 3 with the synchronization error range. If the rotation data of the synchronous wheel 3 exceeds the synchronization error range, it proceeds to S3. If the rotation data of the synchronous wheel 3 is within the synchronization error range, it returns to S1.

[0059] Specifically, the calculation unit in the signal receiving module receives the electronic signal generated by the encoder 4 and analyzes the rotation data of the synchronous wheel 3 based on the electronic signal. Further, the comparison unit in the signal analysis module compares the rotation data of the synchronous wheel 3 with the synchronization error range pre-stored in the storage module. If the rotation data of the synchronous wheel 3 exceeds the synchronization error range, it means that the two traction machines 1 are out of sync and proceeds to step S3. If the rotation data of the synchronous wheel 3 is within the synchronization error range, the two traction machines 1 are in sync and return to step S1.

[0060] Furthermore, S3 includes:

[0061] S31, The signal transmission module generates a control signal based on the rotation data of the synchronous wheel 3;

[0062] S32. The drive unit receives and analyzes the control signal, and drives the traction machine 1 of the abnormal column to adjust the speed.

[0063] Specifically, the calculation unit in the signal analysis module transmits the adjustment parameters (i.e., the rotation data of the synchronous wheel 3) to the signal transmission module, which receives and generates the adjustment parameters into control signals. The drive component receives and analyzes the control signals and controls the traction machine 1 of the abnormal column to adjust its speed to keep the traction machines 1 of both columns synchronized.

[0064] Furthermore, S32 includes:

[0065] S321, The signal unit receives and analyzes control signals;

[0066] S322. The drive unit corresponding to the traction machine 1 in the abnormal column receives the control signal and drives the corresponding traction machine 1 to adjust the speed.

[0067] Specifically, after receiving the control signal, the signal unit analyzes the control signal to determine the drive unit corresponding to the abnormal traction machine 1, and transmits the control signal to the drive unit, which then adjusts the speed of the abnormal traction machine 1 accordingly.

Those skilled in the art can make various obvious changes, readjustments, and substitutions without departing from the protection scope of this utility model.
