    摘要: The invention provides an elevator system for controlling movement of an elevator car with respect to guide rails in an elevator hoistway, having a force-estimation or position-scheduled current command controller and a magnet driver circuit without the need for a flux sensor. The force-estimation or position-scheduled current command controller responds to a force command signal, and further responds to a sensed gap signal, for providing a force-estimation or position-scheduled current command controller signal as a current command to the magnet driver circuit. The magnet driver circuit responds to the force-estimation or position-scheduled current command controller signal, for providing a magnet driver circuit signal to control said horizontal movement of the elevator car with respect to the guide rail in the elevator hoistway, whereby the horizontal movement of the elevator car is controlled without sensing magnetic flux. Other applications include any system that uses an electromagnet to produce an attractive or repulsive force across a large air gap, such as magnetic levitation trains or shuttles, and magnetic bearings.

    摘要: In an elevator active guidance system, in order to avoid the action of one actuator (23) from interfering with the action of another, a controller (21) is provided that uses a force law based on a model of the elevator (40), and uses information from all of the sensors (22) in combination to determine, according to the force law, the force each actuator (23) should provide. The model of the elevator (40) is used to determine how the elevator (40) will respond to the forces exerted by the actuators (23). In the preferred embodiment, the elevator (40) is assumed to respond to the actuator forces as a rigid body. The full model is built up from this basic assumption, finally including all of the geometric and inertial attributes of the elevator necessary to describe its rigid body motion in response to forces from actuators (23).

    摘要: A pair of elevator cars (10, 11) traveling in the same hoistway have their positions sensed (20-23, 29-32) to provide for each a position signal (35, 37) from which velocity signals (64, 65) are derived; lookup tables (66, 61) of safe stopping distance (B, S) for braking and safeties are formed as a function of all possible combinations of velocity (V(U), V(L)) of said cars.

    摘要: Elevator horizontal vibrations are actively controlled by retrieving data stored in memory indicative of the out-of-straightness of the elevator car's guide rails. The stored data is compiled during a learning run by summing the car's relative displacement with respect to the rail with a doubly integrated acceleration signal indicative of the car's deviation from true vertical.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for actively counteracting a disturbing force acting on a suspended elevator cab moving vertically in a hoistway is disclosed. A manifestation of the disturbing force such as acceleration is sensed and counteracted, for example, by effectively exerting counterforces against the cab. The magnitude and phase of the counterforce is selected according to the magnitude and phase of the system response to a disturbing force. The invention may be carried out using an electromagnet actuator for actuating the suspended cab in response to a control signal from a control means which is in turn responsive to the sensed signal. The control means may be analog or digital or a combination of both. A preferred analog-digital approach is disclosed in which the digital part is responsive to accelerometer signals, the analog part is responsive to a force command signal from the digital part and provides a force feedback signal for comparison to the force command signal. In a pendulum car embodiment, three pairs of electromagnets form three actuators situated between the floor of the frame and the bottom of the suspended cab.

    摘要: An elevator motion control system compares a dictated flight path signal (101), indicative of a desired elevator flight path along a nominal flight trajectory, with a measured flight path signal (108), indicative of actual elevator motion, and provides a motion command signal (115) to both a high pass filter (117) and a low pass filter (116) such that the frequency of the motion command signal is split into high and low frequency components (141,118). An active elevator hitch (36) is used to implement the high frequency/low stroke portion of the motion command signal while the elevator motor (28) is used to implement the low frequency/high stroke portion of the motion command signal. A time delay (106) delays the dictated flight path signal prior to its use with the measured flight path signal for providing the motion command signal, the duration of the time delay corresponding to the delay associated with a motion perturbation propagating along a main rope (14) between the elevator motor and the elevator car (12). The active elevator hitch (36) includes a support plate (40) interconnected to the elevator car, a hitch plate (46), and at least one force actuator (56) having a variable extension. The force actuator is connected between the hitch plate and the support plate, and the variable extension is controlled for varying the vertical position of the elevator car along the elevator flight path for damping at least the high frequency components of elevator car vertical oscillations.
