摘要:
An elevator system (20) utilizes destination entry dispatching techniques. A controller (28) receives an automated destination request that includes a prestored, primary destination. This allows for seamlessly integrating building access and destination entry for the elevator system. A passenger interface (40) allows a passenger to override a prestored destination. The elevator controller (28) allows for override or secondary destination requests to be made at various intervals between receipt of the initial request and arrival of an initially assigned car at an appropriate level to let the passenger board the elevator car.

Elevator reassignment information is communicated to passengers in a group elevator system (10). The group elevator system (10) includes a group of elevators (14a, 14b, 14c) that is operable to transport each of the passengers to one of a plurality of floors (L, F2, F3, F4, F5). A destination entry input device (30, 35) at each floor permits each passenger to enter destination input information. A dispatch controller (20) assigns an elevator to each passenger based on the destination input information. When service of a dispatched elevator is terminated, a communication device (46, 50) communicates elevator reassignment instructions to passengers assigned to or located in the dispatched elevator.

摘要:
An elevator system utilizes a destination entry control technique and delays indicating which car is assigned to a request to allow an individual to arrive near an elevator lobby. An elevator group assignment is made responsive to a destination request. An indication regarding the group assignment is provided to a passenger within a first time from the receipt of the request. A second indication regarding a car assigned to carry that passenger to the desired destination is provided at a second, later time from the request. Separating out the group assignment indication and the car assignment indication is accomplished in one example by providing separate interfaces at different locations within a building.

An elevator system utilizes a destination entry control technique and delays indicating which car is assigned to a request to allow an individual to arrive near an elevator lobby. An elevator group assignment is made responsive to a destination request. An indication regarding the group assignment is provided to a passenger within a first time from the receipt of the request. A second indication regarding a car assigned to carry that passenger to the desired destination is provided at a second, later time from the request. Separating out the group assignment indication and the car assignment indication is accomplished in one example by providing separate interfaces at different locations within a building, for example. A disclosed example includes making the group assignment and car assignments at separate times corresponding to a difference in time between receipt of the initial request and the passenger's expected or actual arrival in the vicinity of the assigned elevator group.
摘要:
A method for determining a position of a moving object, such as an elevator car in an elevator shaft, includes the steps of mounting a leading sensor and a lagging sensor to the moving object and spacing the leading sensor from the lagging sensor by an offset distance, mounting a plurality of spaced apart position indicators along a pathway of the moving object, transmitting signals representative of object position from the leading sensor and the lagging sensor to a controller as the sensors pass the spaced apart position indicators, and filling any gaps in the signal gathered from one of the sensors by using a correction factor established from the position sensed by the other sensor and the offset distance. A system for performing the method is described.

An apparatus for effecting non-contact linear door displacement comprising a tubular motor formed of a stator (1) formed from a plurality of magnets (21) arranged along a linear axis (15), and at least one thrust block (3) each formed of at least one electrically conductive coil encircling the stator (1) at a distance sufficient to facilitate electro-mechanical interaction between the plurality of coils and the stator (1), at least one door (5) attached to at least one of the plurality of thrust blocks (3) via a hanger (9) and the at least one door (5) capable of a movement in the direction of the linear axis (15), a rolling component (11) to enable movement of the hanger (9) in the direction of the linear axis (15), and a control mechanism (70) for sensing the position of each of the at least one door (5) and issuing an electrical control signal to each of the plurality of thrust blocks (3) so as to affect the movement of the at least one door (5).

Load cells 35, 56 on antirotation dowel pins 28a or load mounts 49 indicate brake reaction forces in the disk brake 8, 8a of an elevator. Vertical load cells 72, 73 on bending load cell 80 indicate vertical brake reaction loads on a rail 60. A table indicating the load of an empty car at each of the landings served by the car permits subtracting load components relating to ropes, chains and cables to provide a live load indication prior to brake release; this may be used to determine if the load exceeds the maximum permissible load for the car.
摘要:
Motion of the moving handrail of an escalator or moving walkway is interrupted in the event that a foreign object is carried into the handrail reentry housing area on the handrail. Handrail movement stops independently of movement of the conveyor steps, so that the handrail will stop even as the steps are still decelerating as a result of an appropriate signal from a reentry housing foreign object sensor. The handrail will be reset for further motion after the steps stop but will not commence further movement until the steps are intentionally restarted.
