The present application claims foreign priority of Chinese Patent Application No. 202111251595.4, filed on Oct. 26, 2021 in the China National Intellectual Property Administration, the disclosures of all of which are hereby incorporated by reference.
The present invention relates to a method and a device for improving elevator maintainability, and, more particularly, to a method and a device for improving elevator maintainability by recognizing an inevitable remaining life and saving a maintenance industry.
At present, the installation and usage of elevators in China have been in the forefront of the world. As the safety and reliability of elevators are directly related to the life and property safety of users, elevator accidents have a great social impact. With the progress of technologies, an electrical system of the elevator has a certain self-checking function. When an elevator system failure is detected, the elevator will automatically stop running to ensure safety. The daily maintenance of the elevator is regularly completed by manual inspection in general. Professional maintenance personnel are responsible for the maintenance after the elevator system failure. However, the above methods cannot fundamentally save the maintenance industry
For example, Chinese Patent No. CN201110075298.9 discloses a method for elevator control reminding and fault self-diagnosis and a system thereof. This patent does not take materials, energy and information of elevator driving units, i.e., does not take control and communication within or between organizations as research objects, so it is impossible to know the inevitable remaining life and save the maintenance industry in essence. Such excessive or missing maintenance and repairing will either cause great waste or bring potential safety hazards.
An object of the present invention is to provide a method and a device for improving elevator maintainability, so as to solve the technical problems in the related art that the inevitable remaining life cannot be recognized and the maintenance industry cannot be saved. Technical solutions adopted by the present invention to solve the technical problems thereof are as follows.
A method for improving elevator maintainability, comprises:
step S100: selecting efficient points, selecting a measurement point of a car load sample as an efficient point and selecting a measurement point of a drive current sample as an efficient point;
step S200: performing technical measurement, statistically measuring a car load sample value qhi and a drive current sample value Ii in step S100 to obtain a load−current changing curve and a current−time changing curve of the car;
step S300: evaluating a mean value of the curve, and evaluating a mean valueμ(μt, μt−kσt, μI+kσI, μI) of fitting equations of the curve:
μt−kσt=·|kcounterweight·qh−qhi|+B, [equation 1]
μI+kσI=b·|kcounterweight·qh−qhi|+C, [equation 2]
μt=b·|kcounterweight·qh−qhi|+A, [equation 3]
μI=b·|kcounterweight·qh−qhi|+D; [equation 4]
wherein b is a slope of the equation, kcounterweight is a counterbalancing coefficient of an elevator, qh is a rated load, and A, B, C and D represent longitudinal axis intercepts of the equations 1, 2, 3 and 4 respectively;
step S400: generating a threshold, and generating the threshold according to the measurement results in step S200, comprising:
step S401: generating an abnormal time threshold t1;
step S402: generating a defect time threshold t2; and,
step S500: judging whether a time of the equation 2 in step S300 is greater than t1, and judging whether a time of the equation 1 in step S300 is greater than t2; and
if a certain time in the equation 2 is greater than t1 and a certain time in the equation 1 is greater than t2,
counting to generate an inevitable remaining life Δt21, wherein
Δt21=t2−t1. [equation5]
Further, in step S401, a judgment standard of the abnormal time is that: if a current capacity passing through the car load sample at a certain time exceeds an allowable current capacity, then the time is the abnormal time.
Further, influencing factors of the mean value μ of the load−current changing curve and the current−time changing curve of the car are derived from a nominal element, an actual element, an extracted element, a fitted element and a fitted+element.
Further, in step S401, the generating the abnormal time threshold specifically comprises the following steps of:
abstracting the equation 1 and nominal elements (μI, +k94I) and (μt, −kσt);
in the above step, k represents a coefficient of a standard deviation of normal distribution (a relationship between a sigma level and defects per million opportunity) of the load−current changing curve and the current−time changing curve of the car, and at represents a variance of the load−current and the current−time changing curve of the car.
Further, a value range of k is 1 to 6.
Further, the car load sample is obtained through a cloud-interface loadmeter of the car, and the drive current sample is through a cloud-interface clip-on ammeter.
The present invention further provides to a device for improving elevator maintainability, comprising:
Further, the car load sample is obtained through a cloud-interface loadmeter of the car, and the drive current sample is through a cloud-interface clip-on ammeter.
According to one of the technical solutions of the present invention, the load−current changing curve and the current−time changing curve of the car are obtained by statistically measuring the car load sample value qhi and the drive current sample value Ii, and the inevitable remaining life Δt21 of the elevator is generated by evaluating the mean value of the curve and comparing the mean value with the abnormal time threshold value t1 and the defect time threshold value t2. Because the inevitable remaining life Δt21 is determined by the abnormal time threshold t1 and the defect time threshold t2, and is related to the load−current changing curve and the current−time changing curve of the car, a user can directly predict the inevitable remaining life of the elevator. This is an active maintenance method, which can save the maintenance industry and prevent adverse consequences caused by excessive or missing maintenance and repair, without paying attention to the operation of the elevator in real time.
According to the second technical solution of the present invention, the present invention belongs to the category of original intelligence (abbreviated as OI), which processes the load−current changing curve and the current−time changing curve of the car through the central processing unit, and carries out statistics and “big data” statistical measurement on the car load sample value qhi, the drive current sample value Ii and the inevitable remaining life sample Δt21, abandoning post-event, planned and spot-like “uncertainty” maintenance. The device of the present invention has simple structure, and the detection method is convenient and effective, which better improves the elevator maintainability and improves the user's experience.
