摘要: A third instruction determination unit determines a current instruction on the basis of a first current instruction determined by a first instruction determination unit (23) and a second current instruction determined by a second instruction determination unit (24). A brake control unit (25) controls a brake device (6) on the basis of the current instruction. The second instruction determination unit (24) determines the second current instruction so that the value of a current indicated by the current instruction determined by the third instruction determination unit increases stepwise when a brake switch (7) ceases to detect that the brake device (6) is in a non-braking state.

摘要: An illustrative example elevator sensor device includes at least one sensor supported on a door of an elevator car. The sensor provides an output including an indication of at least movement of the door along at least one axis and movement of the elevator car along at least one axis. A processor associated with the at least one sensor receives the output and determines at least one characteristic of the movement of the door based on the indication of the movement of the door. The processor also determines a location of the elevator car where the movement of the door occurs based on the indication of movement of the elevator car.

摘要: An elevator system (201) includes an elevator car (203) arranged to move within an elevator shaft, an elevator drive (211) including a brake (208), an elevator controller (230) configured to control the elevator drive so as to control the movement of the elevator car between a plurality of landings in the elevator shaft, a position reference system (240) configured to measure a position of the elevator car within the elevator shaft, and a safety controller (232) connected to the position reference system (240) to receive car position information and configured to selectively apply the brake of the elevator drive so as to stop the elevator car. The safety controller is configured to monitor the received car position information at least when the elevator car is moving in a designated unlocking zone of a given landing with an elevator car door open and to apply the brake.

摘要: An electronic safety actuator assembly for an elevator system includes a safety case vertically moveable relative to an elevator car. Also included is a safety brake disposed within the safety case. Further included is an electromagnet operatively coupleable to the elevator car. Yet further included is a link member operatively coupleable to the elevator car and to the safety brake. Also included is a magnet disposed between the electromagnet and the safety case, the magnet vertically moveable relative to the elevator car, the electromagnet switchable between an energized condition and an un-energized condition, one of the energized condition and the un-energized condition magnetically attracting the magnet to the electromagnet, the other of the energized condition and the un-energized condition magnetically repulsing the magnet away from the electromagnet, repulsion of the magnet moving the safety brake from a non-braking position to a braking position.
