Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of elevators, specifically an elevator Internet of Things (IoT) device integrating a one-button call function. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of technology, the popularity of home elevators is gradually increasing. However, home elevators present unique challenges. They lack a property management office or a 24-hour monitoring center. Traditional one-button emergency calls can only call fixed indoor points, such as the living room extension. If no one is home or elderly or infirm residents cannot answer, the emergency call function becomes completely ineffective. Ordinary IoT alarms only send a message to a mobile phone. If the owner does not check in time (e.g., while asleep or with poor signal), trapped individuals, especially the elderly and children, face extremely high risks due to the lack of a reliable, direct escape route. Existing commercial solutions or simple patchwork solutions cannot meet these stringent and critical needs.

[0003] There are already elevators that have both IoT and wireless one-button call systems installed, but the systems are independent of each other and each requires a separate 4G SIM card for communication and making calls, which makes management and use inconvenient. Utility Model Content

[0021] Please see Figure 1 An elevator IoT device integrating a one-button call function includes a main control processor, an IoT communication module, a one-button call function module, and an elevator signal acquisition module. The main control processor is communicatively connected to the IoT communication module, the one-button call function module, and the elevator signal acquisition module. The IoT communication module is used for data communication with a remote management platform. The one-button call function module receives the one-button call alarm signal from the elevator car and communicates with the remote management platform. The elevator signal acquisition module connects to the elevator control system to obtain elevator operating status information. The main control processor responds to the elevator emergency alarm trigger signal and simultaneously controls the one-button call module to initiate a voice call. Simultaneously, the IoT communication module transmits the elevator operating status and other information collected by the elevator signal acquisition module to the remote management platform.

[0022] The elevator signal acquisition module communicates with the elevator main controller via RS-485 or CAN bus. The elevator signal acquisition module acquires key parameters such as operating status, fault codes, door opening and closing status, position, and speed. Through the elevator signal acquisition device and IoT module, it realizes functions such as real-time monitoring of elevator operating status, real-time push of elevator events, real-time push of fault data, and query of historical fault and statistical data.

[0023] The IoT communication module connects to the integrated monitoring platform, allowing the IoT communication module to easily send recorded elevator events, locations, statuses, and fault information to the integrated monitoring platform for timely viewing by monitoring personnel.

[0024] The one-click call function module connects simultaneously with the emergency contact call module, the maintenance personnel module, and the user's mobile app module. The emergency contact call module supports storing up to five emergency contacts, and dials these numbers sequentially after an emergency alarm is triggered. The user's mobile app module enables remote elevator call, maintenance appointment scheduling, and elevator status viewing.

[0025] The maintenance personnel module includes a homeowner account creation module and an elevator fault information display module. The homeowner account creation module allows maintenance personnel to create a master account for each homeowner, facilitating emergency contact and calls for help. The elevator fault information display module displays the elevator's status information, enabling timely rescue and ensuring safety in the event of a malfunction.

[0026] The user mobile APP module includes a family member account creation module, a remote emergency call module, a maintenance appointment module, and an elevator operation status viewing module;

[0027] Homeowners can add family member information through the family member account creation module in the user's mobile APP, which facilitates the work of emergency contacts, enables subsequent SMS notification of rescue efforts, and makes it convenient to dial numbers sequentially according to preset numbers.

[0028] Family members can use the remote emergency call module to make alternative emergency calls to other family members trapped in the elevator;

[0029] When an elevator malfunction is discovered, residents and other personnel can use the maintenance appointment module to schedule maintenance personnel to come and inspect and maintain the elevator, thereby increasing elevator safety.

[0030] Owners and other personnel can check the elevator's operating status at any time through the elevator operation status monitoring module, which helps ensure the safety of elevator operation.

[0031] The IoT communication module has a built-in 4G module, which transmits the acquired information to the IoT platform to realize functions such as elevator status monitoring, real-time elevator event push, real-time fault data push, and historical fault query.

[0032] The one-button call function module is equipped with a speaker and microphone, which can be optionally connected to a two-wire or four-wire car audio intercom extension.

[0033] The one-button call function module is equipped with an emergency call button; the emergency call button is used for timely calls for help from people who cannot speak in time, such as the mute, to facilitate elevator rescue, increase safety, and make the device easier to use.

[0034] This utility model integrates the device by installing it on the side of the elevator control cabinet or in the shaft, and connecting it to the control cabinet power supply, the control cabinet IoT communication interface, the control cabinet intercom interface, and the IoT antenna.

[0035] The IoT voice card of the configuration device of this utility model is set up in a specified program.

[0036] The elevator signal acquisition module is used to collect information such as elevator operating status and location;

[0037] The Internet of Things module is configured for remote elevator calling, and transmits collected information such as elevator operation status and position to the manufacturer's Internet of Things platform;

[0038] The one-key call module is configured to initiate a voice call when an emergency occurs.

[0039] An example working flow of the present utility model is as follows:

[0040] A passenger presses the one-key call button, and sends detailed alarm information including status to the platform through the Internet of Things. After the platform receives the elevator fault information, it records the occurred event, displays the position and status of the elevator, sends a fault short message to the corresponding maintenance personnel at the same time and activates the preset number of one-key call. The preset number is provided with a multi-level rescue alarm mechanism, which automatically dials the next number when no one answers the current number. The system defaults that the last-level rescue alarm number is the 400 customer service of the elevator manufacturer. Rescue personnel can quickly locate and implement rescue based on the information, and can guide and comfort passengers during the call.

[0041] When the elevator is delivered to the customer for use, maintenance personnel create an account for the customer. The customer can perform remote elevator calling through this account, and can create additional accounts for other family members through this account, and can set permission restrictions on the created accounts, which covers functions including SIM card management, elevator calling management, floor permission, maintenance reservation and elevator operation status monitoring.

[0042] The present utility model provides a highly integrated device, which "organically integrates" the elevator one-key call function with the Internet of Things monitoring, communication and control functions in a single device or a closely cooperating module group. It solves the problems of single function and insufficient intelligence of traditional intercom systems, and at the same time makes up for the deficiency of existing Internet of Things devices in emergency voice communication guarantee. The Internet of Things technology is used to enhance the intercom function, and the intercom channel is used to enhance the reliability of Internet of Things communication, so as to realize the linkage between one-key call and automatic uploading of status information. The system complexity, installation cost and maintenance cost are reduced. Elevator safety, management efficiency and user experience are improved.

[0043] The safety and reliability of the present utility model are improved, the integrated one-key call provides direct voice communication, the Internet of Things provides status information and remote alarm, and multiple channels including the Internet of Things, short message and one-key call guarantee that alarm information can be delivered.

[0044] The rescue efficiency of the present utility model is improved, rescue personnel can obtain the position and status of the elevator when receiving an alarm, which shortens the response time; voice communication can comfort passengers and provide guidance for cooperation.

[0045] The intelligent management of the present utility model is enhanced, which realizes real-time monitoring of elevator operation status, fault early warning and maintenance management, and improves the whole life cycle management level of elevators.

[0046] This invention reduces costs, replacing the traditional one-button call + independent IoT device with a single device, thus reducing hardware costs, wiring costs, installation costs and maintenance complexity.

[0047] This invention optimizes the user experience, making emergency calls connect faster and more reliably; it also provides convenient access via an app and makes status information transparent.
