[0035] The technical solution of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0036] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4This embodiment discloses an elevator balance coefficient measuring device, including a speed measuring module 100, a leveling sensing module 200, a current measuring module 300, and a handheld terminal 400. The speed measurement module 100 includes a speed sensor 110 and a first signal converter 120, which is electrically connected to the speed sensor 110. The speed sensor 110 is used to collect the rotational speed of the traction sheave 510. The alignment sensing module 200 includes an alignment sensing sensor 210 and a second signal converter 220, which is electrically connected to the alignment sensing sensor 210. The alignment sensing sensor 210 is used to collect the alignment status of the elevator car 520 and the elevator counterweight 530. The current measurement module 300 includes a current transformer 310 and a third signal converter 320, which is electrically connected to the current transformer 310.

The handheld terminal 400 is communicatively connected to the speed measurement module 100, the alignment sensing module 200, and the current measurement module 300. By collecting speed, position, and current signals of the elevator through speed sensor 110, leveling sensor 210, and current transformer 310, and performing multi-sensor information fusion, the measurement error of a single sensor is effectively eliminated, making the measured value of the elevator balance coefficient closer to the true balance coefficient value, providing reliable data support for the safe operation of the elevator; realizing comprehensive and high-precision monitoring of the elevator's operating status, and improving the accuracy and efficiency of elevator balance coefficient measurement.
[0037] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The speed sensor 110 is an incremental rotary encoder, installed on the end face of the shaft of the traction sheave 510. The gap between the speed sensor 110 and the end face of the shaft of the traction sheave 510 is 1~2mm. A non-contact photoelectric encoder is used, fixed by a magnetic base. The incremental rotary encoder is fixed to the output shaft end of the traction sheave 510 through a flexible coupling, ensuring a speed measurement accuracy of ±0.01m / s. Combined with the signal collected by the incremental rotary encoder, it is possible to dynamically determine whether the elevator car is in a uniform speed running state, judging that the speed fluctuation is less than 5%, ensuring the effectiveness of current data acquisition.
[0038] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3The alignment sensor 210 is a laser alignment detection module, which includes a first laser detection head 211 and a second laser detection head 212. The first laser detection head 211 and the second laser detection head 212 are respectively installed opposite to each other on the sides of the elevator car 520 and the elevator counterweight 530. The alignment sensor 210 is installed on the adjacent sides of the elevator car 520 and the elevator counterweight 530, and the perpendicularity error between the beam axis and the guide rail of the elevator car 520 is ≤0.1°, forming a dual-plane detection reference. The traction sheave speed is obtained in real time by an incremental rotary encoder, and the car linear velocity is calculated synchronously to monitor the elevator to maintain a constant speed. In conjunction with the laser sensor matrix on the adjacent sides of the car and the counterweight, a dynamic reference plane is established to accurately determine the horizontal alignment status of the car and the counterweight.
[0039] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 4 The current transformer 310 is an open-type Hall sensor, which is clamped onto the traction machine cable 550. The three-phase current transformer 310 uses open-type Hall elements and is clamped onto the U / V / W power lines of the traction machine cable 550 respectively; the measurement range is 0-200A, and the nonlinearity is ≤0.2%.

The speed measurement module 100, the alignment sensing module 200, and the current measurement module 300 are wirelessly connected to the handheld terminal 400 via the built-in first wireless communication unit 130 and first antenna 140, employing Internet of Things (IoT) technology to achieve wireless transmission between the data acquisition module and the handheld terminal 400.
[0041] Please refer to Figure 5 The handheld terminal 400 includes a second wireless communication unit 410 and a second antenna 420. The handheld terminal 400 has a second wireless communication unit 410 and a second antenna 420, which ensures that the handheld terminal 400 can transmit data with the speed measurement module 100, the alignment sensing module 200 and the current measurement module 300.
[0042] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 6The handheld terminal 400 is wirelessly connected to the speed measurement module 100, the alignment sensing module 200, and the current measurement module 300. Wireless communication between these three modules and the handheld terminal 400 is achieved through the first wireless communication unit 130 and the first antenna 140 equipped in each module. The speed measurement module 100, the alignment sensing module 200, and the current measurement module 300 transmit their respective collected data signals to the handheld terminal 400 via their built-in first wireless communication unit 130 and first antenna 140. The handheld terminal 400 receives these signals through its built-in second wireless communication unit 410 and second antenna 420, improving operational convenience and data acquisition efficiency.
[0043] Please refer to Figure 5 The handheld terminal 400 includes a display module 430, which is used to display measurement results. When a signal indicating that the elevator car 520 and the elevator counterweight 530 are aligned on both planes is detected and the elevator is in a constant speed state, the current value of the traction motor 540 is monitored and collected, triggering the calculation and output of the elevator balance coefficient, and the elevator balance coefficient is displayed on the display module 430.
[0044] Please refer to Figure 5 The handheld terminal 400 also includes an early warning module 440, which is used for audible and visual alarms. When an abnormal situation occurs during the measurement process, the early warning module 440 will trigger an audible and visual alarm.
[0045] This embodiment also discloses an elevator testing system, including the elevator balance coefficient measuring device described above. Please refer to...

[0046] During measurement, the system executes a self-test procedure after power-on, including sensor zero-point calibration, communication link testing, and reference position adjustment. It then enters monitoring mode, using speed sensor 110, alignment sensor 210, and current transformer 310 to collect real-time data on traction sheave 510 speed pulses, laser on / off signals, and current waveforms. When a dual-plane alignment signal between the elevator car 520 and the elevator counterweight 530 is detected, and the elevator is at a constant speed, the system calculates and outputs the elevator balance coefficient, which is displayed on the display module 430. Furthermore, it features real-time dynamic calibration, automatically adjusting measurement parameters under different elevator load conditions to adapt to complex and changing operating environments, ensuring the stability and consistency of measurement results. Compared to traditional static measurement methods, dynamic calibration improves measurement efficiency, shortens the detection cycle, and reduces manual intervention. It can remotely monitor the balance status of multiple elevators, promptly identify potential faults, and implement preventative maintenance. It effectively solves the pain points of insufficient accuracy and low efficiency of traditional measurement methods, breaks through the limitations of traditional static testing, performs multi-sensor information fusion, realizes dynamic monitoring under all working conditions, has high measurement accuracy and fast data update frequency, provides real-time quantitative basis for elevator commissioning, significantly improves detection efficiency and system reliability, and provides important technical support for elevator safe operation and maintenance and intelligent upgrading.
