[0040] , Elevator up and down, speed and origin detection module
[0041] The elevator up and down, speed and origin detection module uses Hall sensors to detect the running direction, speed and position of the elevator by detecting the change of the magnetic field, to ensure the reliability and real-time of the detection data when the elevator is running. The Hall sensor is through the Hall effect: when the current is perpendicular to the magnetic field direction through the conductor, it will produce a potential difference on both sides of the conductor. The Hall sensor uses this effect to convert the change of the magnetic field into an electrical signal. As shown in Figure 2 , when the rotating part (tensioner) of the elevator is installed with a magnetic steel, the Hall sensor detects the periodic change of the magnetic field generated when it rotates, and outputs a pulse signal. The collected pulse signal is connected to the P0.0, P0.1, P0.2 ports of the STC12C5A60S2 single-chip microcomputer, and through the analysis and processing of the single-chip microcomputer, the running direction, running speed and floor position of the elevator can be determined.
[0042] In this embodiment, three magnetic steels B1, B2, B3 are installed in sequence along the circumference on the tensioner 1 of the elevator pit, and the installation positions of the three B1, B2, B3 are different by 90° along the circumference.
[0043] Signal characteristics:
[0044] - The output signal of each Hall element is a square wave pulse.
[0045] - The signals of the three Hall elements (A1, A2, A3) have a certain phase difference in time, and the size of the phase difference is related to the speed of the elevator and the distance between the Hall elements.
[0046] - The running direction of the elevator (up or down) can be determined by the sequence of the signals.
[0047] - The origin position is represented by a high-level pulse.
[0048] - Three magnetic steels are installed on the tensioner of the elevator pit, and when the elevator moves, the tensioner rotates, and the magnetic steels pass through the three Hall elements in sequence, triggering them to output pulse signals.
[0049] - By analyzing the sequence, phase difference and frequency of the signals of the three Hall elements, the running direction, speed and origin position of the elevator can be determined.
[0050] - Upward state:
[0051] - The magnetic steel passes through A1, A2, A3 in sequence, so the sequence of the signals is A1→A2→A3.
[0052] - The gradually increasing frequency of the signals indicates that the elevator is accelerating upward, the stable frequency indicates uniform upward, and the gradually decreasing frequency indicates decelerating upward.
[0053] - Downlink status:
[0054] - The magnet passes through A3, A2, and A1 in sequence, so the signal sequence is A3→A2→A1.
[0055] - A gradually increasing frequency of the signal indicates that the elevator is accelerating downwards, a stable frequency indicates a constant downward speed, and a gradually decreasing frequency indicates deceleration downwards.
[0056] - Origin point location:
[0057] - When the magnet passes A2, A2 outputs a specific pulse signal (such as a high level), indicating that the elevator has reached the origin position.
