Ferner wird vorgeschlagen, dass die Auswerteeinheit dazu vorgesehen ist, wenigstens eine Aufzugskabinengeschwindigkeit zu überwachen und/oder wenigstens einen relativen Abstand zweier Aufzugskabinen zu überwachen, wodurch weitere Randbedingungen vorteilhaft mit in eine Überwachung eingebunden werden können. Vorteilhaft kann die Auswerteeinheit dazu ausgestattet und programmiert sein, mithilfe von Echtzeit-Funktionen und unter Bezugnahme auf die absoluten Positionen der Aufzugskabine zu unterschiedlichen Zeitpunkten deren momentane Fahrgeschwindigkeit und/oder den relativen Abstand zweier Aufzugskabinen zu überwachen und bei Überschreitung festgesetzter Grenzwerte vorbestimmte Maßnahmen, wie etwa abgestufte Bremsvorgänge, zu aktivieren. Bei einer Durchführung eines Auswertevorgangs kann die Auswerteeinheit, vorteilhaft nach jeder periodischen Datensammlung und typisch mehrfach in einer Sekunde, abhängig von Positionen, Geschwindigkeiten und Fahrtrichtungen von Aufzugskabinen für Schachttüren Öffnungsberechtigungen erteilen. Weiterhin wird vorgeschlagen, dass die Auswerteeinheit dazu vorgesehen ist, zur isolierten Überwachung wenigstens einer der Aufzugskabinen dann einer Schachttür eine Öffnungsberechtigung zu erteilen, wenn die Aufzugskabine sich im Annäherungsbereich der Schachttür befindet und ein Grenzwert für eine maximale Geschwindigkeit der Aufzugskabine unterschritten ist, wodurch vorteilhaft ein sicheres Öffnen von Aufzugskabinentür und Schachttür beim Erreichen eines Zielstockwerks gewährleistet ist.It is also proposed that the evaluation unit is provided to monitor at least one elevator car speed and / or to monitor at least one relative distance between two elevator cars, whereby further boundary conditions can advantageously be integrated into a monitoring. Advantageously, the evaluation unit can be equipped and programmed to monitor with real-time functions and with reference to the absolute positions of the elevator car at different times their current speed and / or the relative distance between two elevator cars and exceeding fixed limits predetermined measures, such as graded braking, to activate. When carrying out an evaluation process, the evaluation unit, advantageously after each periodic data collection and typically several times in one second, depending on positions, speeds and directions of elevator cars for shaft doors grant opening permissions. Furthermore, it is proposed that the evaluation unit is provided for granting an opening authorization for the isolated monitoring of at least one of the elevator cars of a shaft door when the elevator car is in the vicinity of the shaft door and a limit value for a maximum speed of the elevator car is reached, thus advantageously safe opening of the elevator car door and landing door is ensured when reaching a destination floor.
Unter einer "Öffnungsberechtigung" für eine Schachttür soll in diesem Zusammenhang insbesondere verstanden werden, dass die Schachttür ohne Verletzung einer Überwachungsregel geöffnet werden kann. Unter einer "Überwachungsregel" soll in diesem Zusammenhang insbesondere eine logische Verknüpfung zumindest von Signalen von Türöffnungssensoren und von Öffnungsberechtigungen für Schachttüren verstanden werden, die vorteilhaft in der Programmierung der Auswerteeinheit hinterlegt sein kann. Insbesondere kann eine Überwachungsregel auch Signale anderer sicherheitsrelevanter Komponenten, etwa Aufzugskabinentüröffnungssensoren, umfassen. Unter einer "Überwachung" soll in diesem Zusammenhang insbesondere eine Auswertung von Überwachungsregeln verstanden werden. Abhängig vom Ergebnis des Auswertevorgangs kann die Auswerteeinheit ausführbare Programmteile durchführen, die vorteilhaft in der Programmierung der Auswerteeinheit hinterlegt sind. Insbesondere können diese Programmteile die Aktivierung und/oder Deaktivierung der Bremseinheit betreffen. Unter einer "isolierten Überwachung" einer Aufzugskabine soll in diesem Zusammenhang insbesondere eine Überwachung durch die Auswerteeinheit verstanden werden, die nur diese Aufzugskabine betrifft, wobei in Überwachungsregeln zur Überwachung der Aufzugskabine auch Informationen über weitere Aufzugskabinen eingehen können.An "opening authorization" for a landing door should in this context be understood in particular to mean that the shaft door can be opened without violating a monitoring rule. In this context, a "monitoring rule" is to be understood as meaning, in particular, a logical association of at least signals from door opening sensors and opening authorizations for shaft doors, which can advantageously be stored in the programming of the evaluation unit. In particular, a monitoring rule may also include signals from other safety-relevant components, such as lift cage door opening sensors. A "monitoring" is to be understood in this context in particular an evaluation of monitoring rules. Depending on the result of the evaluation process, the evaluation unit can execute executable program parts which are advantageously stored in the programming of the evaluation unit. In particular, these program parts may relate to the activation and / or deactivation of the brake unit. In this context, "isolated monitoring" of an elevator car should be understood to mean, in particular, monitoring by the evaluation unit, which only concerns this elevator car, wherein information about further elevator cars can also be entered in monitoring rules for monitoring the elevator car.
Unter einem "Annäherungsbereich" der Schachttür soll in diesem Zusammenhang insbesondere ein Bereich kleiner als 0,7 m und vorteilhaft kleiner als 0,5 m unterhalb und oberhalb der Schachttür verstanden werden.In this context, a "proximity region" of the shaft door is to be understood as meaning, in particular, an area smaller than 0.7 m and advantageously smaller than 0.5 m below and above the shaft door.
In einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung ist die Auswerteeinheit dazu vorgesehen, in zumindest einem Auswertevorgang bei einem auftretenden Verstoß gegen eine Überwachungsregel durch eine Ausführung zumindest eines ausführbaren Programmteils, der vorteilhaft in der Programmierung der Auswerteeinheit hinterlegt ist, die Fahrt zumindest einer Aufzugskabine zu unterbrechen und insbesondere den Antrieb zumindest einer Aufzugskabine, für die die Überwachungsregel gilt, stillzulegen.In an advantageous embodiment, the evaluation unit is provided, in at least one evaluation process in the case of an occurring violation of a monitoring rule by executing at least one executable program part, which is deposited advantageously in the programming of the evaluation unit to interrupt the ride at least one elevator car and in particular to shut down the drive at least one elevator car, for which the monitoring rule applies.
Des Weiteren wird vorgeschlagen, dass die Auswerteeinheit dazu vorgesehen ist, zur isolierten Überwachung wenigstens einer der Aufzugskabinen dann wenigstens einer Schachttür eine Öffnungsberechtigung zu erteilen, wenn sich zwischen dieser Schachttür und der Aufzugskabine eine weitere Aufzugskabine befindet.Furthermore, it is proposed that the evaluation unit is provided for granting an opening authorization for the isolated monitoring of at least one of the elevator cars then at least one shaft door, if there is another elevator car between this shaft door and the elevator car.
Insbesondere kann dadurch vorteilhaft erreicht werden, dass die Fahrt der von der Schachttür weiter entfernten Aufzugskabine weitergeführt werden kann, wenn diese Schachttür fehlerhaft unberechtigterweise geöffnet wurde, wodurch die Verfügbarkeit der Aufzugsanlage gesteigert werden kann.In particular, this can advantageously be achieved in that the travel of the elevator car further away from the shaft door can be continued if this shaft door has been incorrectly unauthorizedly opened, as a result of which the availability of the elevator installation can be increased.
In einer weiteren Ausgestaltung kann zur isolierten Überwachung einer der Aufzugskabinen dann einer Schachttür eine Öffnungsberechtigung erteilt werden, wenn diese Schachttür außerhalb eines für die Aufzugskabine freigegebenen Fahrbereichs liegt. Auch hierbei kann vorteilhaft erreicht werden, dass diese Aufzugskabine ihre Fahrt fortsetzen kann, wenn die Schachttür, die außerhalb ihres Fahrbereichs liegt, unberechtigterweise geöffnet wurde, wodurch die Verfügbarkeit der Aufzugskabinen in der Aufzugsanlage erhöht werden kann.In a further refinement, for an isolated monitoring of one of the elevator cars, a bay door can then be granted an opening authorization if this shaft door lies outside a travel area released for the elevator car. Here, too, can be advantageously achieved that this elevator car can continue their journey when the shaft door, which is outside their driving range, was opened without authorization, whereby the availability of the elevator cars can be increased in the elevator system.
Weiterhin wird vorgeschlagen, dass die Auswerteeinheit dazu vorgesehen ist, bei zumindest einer isolierten Überwachung wenigstens einer der Aufzugskabinen dann wenigstens einer Schachttür eine Öffnungsberechtigung zu erteilen, wenn die Aufzugskabine in eine Richtung fährt, die von dieser Schachttür wegführt. Aufgrund dessen, dass ein Überfahren der Schachttür im Fall einer unberechtigten Öffnung ausgeschlossen ist, kann auf eine Unterbrechung der Fahrt verzichtet werden, wodurch sich die Verfügbarkeit der Aufzugskabinen in der Aufzugsanlage verbessern kann.Furthermore, it is proposed that the evaluation unit is provided to grant opening authorization to at least one of the elevator cars then at least one shaft door when the elevator car moves in a direction leading away from this shaft door. Due to the fact that overriding the shaft door is excluded in the event of unauthorized opening, can be dispensed with an interruption of the ride, which can improve the availability of the elevator cars in the elevator system.
Es wird vorgeschlagen, dass die Auswerteeinheit dazu vorgesehen ist, bei zumindest einer isolierten Überwachung wenigstens einer der Aufzugskabinen dann einer Schachttür eine Öffnungsberechtigung zu erteilen, wenn die Schachttür außerhalb eines geplanten aktuellen Verfahrwegs der Aufzugskabine zu einem Zielstockwerk liegt. Unter einem "geplanten aktuellen" Verfahrweg einer Aufzugskabine soll in diesem Zusammenhang der Fahrweg von einer aktuellen Position bis zum nächsten angeforderten, in der aktuellen Fahrtrichtung liegenden Zielstockwerk verstanden werden. Aufgrund dessen, dass ein Überfahren der Schachttür in einem entsprechenden Fall ausgeschlossen ist, kann auf eine Unterbrechung der Fahrt verzichtet werden, wodurch sich die Verfügbarkeit der Aufzugskabinen in der Aufzugsanlage verbessern kann.It is proposed that the evaluation unit is provided for granting an opening authorization to at least one of the elevator cars at least one of the elevator cars when the shaft door lies outside a planned current travel path of the elevator car to a destination floor. Under a "planned current" travel path of an elevator car is to be understood in this context, the route from a current position to the next requested, lying in the current direction destination floor. Due to the fact that a crossing of the shaft door is excluded in a corresponding case, can be dispensed with an interruption of the ride, which can improve the availability of the elevator cars in the elevator system.
Grundsätzlich lassen sich in sehr flexibler Weise weitere Fälle definieren, in denen die Auswerteeinheit einer Schachttür eine Öffnungsberechtigung erteilt, so dass bei einem Öffnen der Schachttür während einer Auswertung der Fahrbetrieb dennoch weitergeführt werden kann. So kann etwa die Auswerteeinheit dazu programmiert sein, bei unberechtigter Öffnung einer Schachttür eine Einfahrt in deren Annäherungsbereich oder eine Vorbeifahrt zu verhindern.In principle, further cases can be defined in a very flexible manner, in which the evaluation unit of a shaft door issues an opening authorization, so that when the shaft door is opened during an evaluation, the driving operation can still be continued. For example, the evaluation unit can be programmed to prevent entry into its proximity area or passing by in case of unauthorized opening of a shaft door.
Auf die beschriebene Weise lassen sich auch weitere sicherheitsrelevante Elemente, wie etwa Schachtendschalter und Pufferschalter, in die vorgeschlagene Sicherheitseinrichtung einbinden und in logischen Verknüpfungen zur Überwachung einsetzen. Besonders vorteilhaft geschieht dies über eine Anbindung mittels Busknoten an den Systembus. Grundsätzlich wäre es aber auch möglich, durch zusätzliche, vom Systembus getrennte Leitungen redundante Überwachungen einzurichten.In the manner described, other safety-related elements, such as shaft limit switches and buffer switches, can be incorporated into the proposed safety device and used in logical links for monitoring. This is done particularly advantageously via a connection by means of bus nodes to the system bus. In principle, however, it would also be possible to set up redundant monitoring by additional lines disconnected from the system bus.
In einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung ist die Sicherheitseinrichtung auch zur Überwachung eines konventionell verdrahteten Sicherheitskreises vorgesehen. Unter einem "konventionell verdrahteten Sicherheitskreis" soll in diesem Zusammenhang insbesondere ein elektrischer Schaltkreis gemäß der Druckschrift
