Embodiments for Carrying Out the Invention

[0013] In order to fully disclose the object, features, and effects of the present invention, the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the following specific embodiments and in conjunction with the drawings as described later.

[0014] As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the present invention provides a smart escape system for an elevator, which includes an elevator 1, a trouble detection mechanism 2, a self-rescue guide mechanism 3, and a self-rescue activation mechanism 4.

[0015] The elevator 1 includes a car 11 and an electric control mechanism 12.

[0016] The trouble detection mechanism 2 is electrically connected to the electric control mechanism 12.

[0017] The self-rescue guide mechanism 3 is electrically connected to the trouble detection mechanism 2.

[0018] The self-rescue activation mechanism 4 is electrically connected to the electric control mechanism 12.

[0019] When the car 11 stops due to a malfunction, the trouble detection mechanism 2 of the elevator 1 can detect the cause of the trouble in the electric control mechanism 12. If it is detected that the trouble is one that allows self-rescue by the passengers, in order to support the escape of the passengers, the trouble detection mechanism 2 activates the self-rescue guide mechanism 3 based on the cause of the trouble in the electric control mechanism 12, and the self-rescue guide mechanism 3 guides the passengers to operate the self-rescue activation mechanism 4. The self-rescue activation mechanism 4 drives the electric control mechanism 12, transmits power from the electric control mechanism 12 to the car 11, and moves the car 11 to the nearest floor in the deceleration mode.

[0020] If it is detected that the trouble is one that does not allow self-rescue by the passengers, in order to support the escape of the passengers, the trouble detection mechanism 2 activates the self-rescue guide mechanism 3 based on the cause of the trouble in the electric control mechanism 12, and the self-rescue guide mechanism 3 guides the passengers to operate the self-rescue activation mechanism 4, and calls for external assistance through the self-rescue activation mechanism 4.

[0021] As can be understood from the above description, the smart escape system of the elevator according to the present invention can detect the cause of the trouble of the elevator 1 by the trouble detection mechanism 2, and can guide the passengers to operate the self-rescue starting mechanism 4 by the self-rescue guide mechanism 3, so as to support the escape of the passengers and achieve the effect of emergency rescue.

[0022] In addition to the above embodiments, in another embodiment according to the present invention, the motor control mechanism 12 includes a transmission module 121, a car door lock module 122, an electric circuit module 123, and a control panel module 124. The transmission module 121 is connected to the car 11. The car door lock module 122 is provided on the car 11. The control panel module 124 is electrically connected to the transmission module 121 and the car door lock module 122. The electric circuit module 123 is electrically connected to the transmission module 121, the car door lock module 122, and the control panel module 124. The trouble detection mechanism 2 is at least electrically connected to the car door lock module 122, the control panel module 124, and the electric circuit module 123. The control panel module 124 has at least a motherboard, a frequency converter, an optoelectronic device, an encoder, a brake, and a control circuit.

[0023] In addition to the above embodiments, in another embodiment according to the present invention, the trouble detection mechanism 2 includes a door lock detection module 21, an electric circuit detection module 22, a control panel detection module 23, and an external detection module 24.

[0024] In addition to the above embodiments, in another embodiment according to the present invention, the activation mechanism 4 of the self-rescue includes a first self-rescue drive module 41, a second self-rescue drive module 42, and a third self-rescue drive module 43. The first self-rescue drive module 41, the second self-rescue drive module 42, and the third self-rescue drive module 43 are provided in the basket 11.

[0025] In addition to the above embodiments, in yet another embodiment according to the present invention, the self-rescue guide mechanism 3 includes an audio module 31 and a warning light module 32. The first self-rescue drive module 41, the second self-rescue drive module 42, and the third self-rescue drive module 43 may each be bodanned. Also, as an operation display and hint, the warning light module 32 can be made to correspond to the first self-rescue drive module 41, the second self-rescue drive module 42, and the third self-rescue drive module 43. The audio module 31, the warning light module 32, the first self-rescue drive module 41, the second self-rescue drive module 42, and the third self-rescue drive module 43 in this embodiment can achieve the effect of facilitating operation by being integrated and separately installed in the basket 11, or by being integrated with the panel of the existing basket operation panel in the basket 11.

[0026] According to the above-described embodiment, when the car 11 of the elevator 1 stops due to a malfunction, the door lock detection module 21, the control panel detection module 23, the electric circuit detection module 22, and the external detection module 24 in the trouble detection mechanism 2 can each detect the cause of the trouble in the electric machine control mechanism 12. When it is detected by the door lock detection module 21, the control panel detection module 23, or the electric circuit detection module 22 that the trouble is caused by the car door lock module 122, the control panel module 124, or the electric circuit module 123, it is determined that the trouble is a self-rescue feasible trouble for the passengers. Then, based on the cause of the trouble in the electric machine control mechanism 12 by the trouble detection mechanism 2, the self-rescue guide mechanism 3 is activated, and the self-rescue guide mechanism 3 guides the passengers to operate the self-rescue activation mechanism 4 based on the detection result of the trouble detection mechanism 2 by combining the voice module 31 and the warning light module 32.

[0027] For example, when it is detected by the door lock detection module 21 or the electric circuit detection module 22 that the trouble is caused by the car door lock module 122 or the electric circuit module 123 of the car, the self-rescue guide mechanism 3 guides the passengers to operate the first self-rescue drive module 41 of the self-rescue activation mechanism 4 by combining the voice module 31 and the warning light module 32. The first self-rescue drive module 41 drives the electric machine control mechanism 12, transmits power from the electric machine control mechanism 12 to the car 11, moves the car 11 to the nearest floor in the deceleration mode, and opens the car door lock module 122 of the car to allow the passengers to escape from the car 11. Therefore, the trouble detection mechanism 2 can detect the cause of the trouble of the elevator 1, and by guiding the passengers to operate the self-rescue activation mechanism 4 by the self-rescue guide mechanism 3, it is possible to support the escape of the passengers and achieve the effect of emergency rescue.

[0028] When the control panel detection module 23 detects that the trouble is caused by the control panel module 124, the combination of the voice module 31 and the warning light module 32 in the self-rescue guide mechanism 3 guides the passengers to operate the second self-rescue drive module 42 of the self-rescue activation mechanism 4. The second self-rescue drive module 42 drives the electric machine control mechanism 12, transmits power from the electric machine control mechanism 12 to the car 11, moves the car 11 to the nearest floor in the deceleration mode, and the door of the car is opened by the door lock module 122 of the car, allowing the passengers to escape from the car 11. Therefore, the trouble detection mechanism 2 can detect the cause of the trouble of the elevator 1, and the self-rescue guide mechanism 3 guides the passengers to operate the self-rescue activation mechanism 4, so as to support the escape of the passengers and achieve the effect of emergency rescue.

[0029] When the external detection module 24 detects that the trouble is an external failure and is not a failure caused by the door lock module 122, the control panel module 124, or the electric circuit module 123 of the car, it is determined that the trouble is a self-rescue-impossible trouble for the passengers. At this time, the combination of the voice module 31 and the warning light module 32 in the self-rescue guide mechanism 3 guides the passengers to operate the third self-rescue drive module 43 of the self-rescue activation mechanism 4. The third self-rescue drive module 43 drives the calling system to seek external assistance. Therefore, the trouble detection mechanism 2 can detect the cause of the trouble of the elevator 1, and the self-rescue guide mechanism 3 guides the passengers to operate the self-rescue activation mechanism 4, so as to support the escape of the passengers and achieve the effect of emergency rescue.
