Elevator Assembly Device Position Correction After Shaft Fixing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing assembly devices for elevator shafts face challenges in ensuring accurate placement of assembly means after deformation occurs during the fixing process, leading to potential failure in executing planned assembly steps due to deformation of the support component.
Innovation Solution
An assembly device with a support component and a mechatronic installation component, equipped with a control apparatus that determines the actual position of assembly means relative to the installation component after fixing, allowing for precise reception and execution of assembly steps even after deformation, using methods such as probing, scanning, or image processing.

Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Strength
If the support component is fixed in the elevator shaft by locking against walls, then the assembly device can absorb forces during assembly steps, but deformation of the support component occurs leading to misalignment of assembly means
Solution Approach 1:
The control apparatus determines the actual position of assembly means on the support component before the assembly component attempts to use them. This preliminary position determination allows the system to compensate for deformation that occurs during fixing, ensuring accurate alignment even when the support component deforms under load
Solution Approach 2:
The control apparatus continuously monitors the actual position of assembly means and uses this feedback information to adjust the positioning of the assembly component. This closed-loop control ensures that despite deformation of the support component during fixing, the assembly component can still accurately locate and use the assembly means

AI summary
In a method for carrying out an installation process in an elevator shaft of an elevator system, an assembly device is inserted into the elevator shaft. The assembly device includes a support component, a mechatronic installation component retained by the support component and a control apparatus. At least one assembly apparatus (tool, sensor or component) is arranged on the support component. The support component is fixed in a fixing position in the elevator shaft. After the support component has been fixed, an actual position of the at least one assembly apparatus is determined relative to the installation component. Using the determined actual position relative to the support component, the at least one assembly apparatus is received by the installation component and an assembly step is carried out using the received at least one assembly apparatus.
