    摘要: An elevator car with special measures for evacuation has several side walls, a floor and a ceiling, which together enclose an interior of the elevator car. The elevator car has a flap arranged on one of the side walls and a ladder for evacuating persons from the interior of the elevator car. The flap is movable between a closed state, in which the flap blocks access from the interior of the elevator car to an area behind the flap, and an open state, in which access is possible from the interior of the elevator car to the area behind the flap. The flap has a height less than the height of the side walls. In the closed state of the flap, the ladder is arranged in the area behind the flap. The ladder is removable from behind the flap and can be increased in length for the evacuation.

    摘要: A method for mounting a guide rail in an elevator system elevator shaft first carries out mounting steps by a mounting device having a carrier component, an installation component and a control apparatus controlling the installation component. The control apparatus determines, on the basis of an actual position of the mounting device and a desired position of a guide rail to be installed, a position of a marking on a shaft wall of the elevator shaft relative to the actual position of the mounting device. Based on the marking, an installation step determines the desired position of the guide rail. The marking is applied to the shaft wall by the installation component. The previous steps are followed by the steps of alignment the guide rail in relation to the marking and fastening the guide rail to the shaft wall, which steps can be performed manually by an installer.

    摘要: The application relates to a passenger transport apparatus comprising at least one drive sprocket for driving and deflecting a conveyor belt, and at least one detecting apparatus for detecting the rotational speed of the drive sprocket. Slot-shaped recesses are arranged on at least one annular side surface of the drive sprocket, wherein the longitudinal extension of the slot-shaped recesses extends in the radial direction with respect to the rotational center of the drive sprocket over the annular side surface. The detecting apparatus makes it possible to generate a signal that represents the rotational speed of the drive sprocket, by means of scanning of the slot-shaped recesses—which can move relative to the detecting apparatus—and the elevations present between the slot-shaped recesses.

    摘要: The application relates to an escalator step that includes a single-piece tread body, two side cheeks, and at least one supporting profile, which are all formed as plug-in parts and comprise plug-in connections. Owing to this division into plug-in parts, the escalator steps can be transported more effectively in disassembled form and put together in a very simple manner at the assembly site.

    摘要: A method for driving an elevator car brake device, an elevator system for executing the method, and a computer program implementing the method involve the brake device including at least one automatically releasable pressure element effecting a braking action and an electromagnet automatically releasing the pressure element, wherein a respectively required braking torque of the car is ascertained using a model of the elevator system, a direction of car travel, a state of load of the car and a desired car deceleration. A drive signal for driving the electromagnet is generated based on the braking torque and is supplied to the electromagnet, wherein, when the car is braked, an actual car deceleration is ascertained and calibration is performed based on the ascertained actual car deceleration, specifically calibration of the ascertained required braking torque or calibration of the drive signal that is generated based on the ascertained required braking torque.

    摘要: A control system of an elevator can be communicated with by a mobile control device to execute a maintenance and/or installation for the elevator. The control system includes a receiving element for receiving a request to establish a communication connection from the mobile control device, at least one processor to perform a first identification whether the mobile control device is authorized to communicate with the elevator, the at least one processor to perform a second identification whether a user of the mobile control device is authorized for using this mobile control device and/or for servicing this elevator, the at least one processor for matching a right of access of the mobile control device to the elevator depending on results of the first and the second identification, and a communication element to establish the requested communication connection according the matched right of access of the mobile control device.

    摘要: A method for operating a safety system having a control unit, a bus, a plurality of bus nodes connected to the control unit via the bus, and a plurality of participants connected to the control unit via the bus nodes, wherein at least one participant is designated as a temporary participant. The method includes the step of logging the temporary participant out of the safety system by giving notice of a disconnection of the temporary participant from the safety system by a manipulation and disconnecting the temporary participant from the safety system. The safety system can be used with an elevator system for carrying out the method.

    摘要: A lift system for protecting the privacy of passengers. The lift system having a lift car that can be moved between floors of a building. The lift car having a video camera arranged in the lift car. The video camera being a part of a video system that also includes a video monitor for displaying information relating to the interior of the lift car. A video control device is communicatively connected to and controls the video system in a selective manner according to one of several operating modes. The several operating modes include a first operating mode in which the video system is deactivated or activation is blocked, so that the video system remains in an inactive state, if a passenger asks for the video system to be deactivated. When in the first operating mode the video system remains in the inactive state for as long as the passenger is in the lift car.
