Definitions
- the present invention relates to a device on an elevator system with a counterweight for detecting the position of a counterweight and a method for determining the position of a counterweight according to the preambles of the independent claims.
- JP2013-095571A discloses a device according to the preamble of claim 1.
- a device and a method is to be provided, which allows precise control of the counterweight in at least one end position and simplified, and excludes the risk of accident for the inspector.
- a device according to the invention on an elevator installation with a counterweight has at least one sighting device.
- the counterweight can be moved from any operating position to an end position.
- the device has at least one, in particular at a distance from the counterweight in the end position and stationary, in particular transparent shielding portion.
- the sighting device is arranged such that its position relative to at least one reference position can be determined by visualization on a lower edge of the counterweight or on a marking on the counterweight.
- Shielding section is understood to mean a section of a protective device which at least partially shields the counterweight from the shaft interior.
- the protective device can be constructed of one or more shielding sections, which are designed for example as panels, wall elements, sheets, grids, truss structures, nets or the like, which are useful for shielding the counterweight.
- the end position of the counterweight is defined by the end position of an elevator car.
- the elevator car is connected via a deflection roller with the counterweight.
- the counterweight may be located in the same shaft as the elevator, but it may also be provided a separate counterweight shaft.
- shaft is intended to include both possible variants.
- a range is defined in which the counterweight should be in normal operation.
- a sighting device is designed such that an object can be targeted, for example, via a fixed point.
- the comparison position is a position from an area in which the counterweight must be in the normal operating position.
- such comparison positions are upper and lower maximum positions.
- the device may comprise at least a second sighting device, with which the position of the counterweight with respect to at least one second comparison position can be determined.
- a second sighting device with which the position of the counterweight with respect to at least one second comparison position can be determined.
- Such a device with two sighting devices makes it possible to determine an operating position of the counterweight relative to an example, upper and lower maximum position. The accuracy of the statement about the position of the counterweight can thus be increased.
- such a device for each comparison position on secondary means, which cooperate with the sighting device.
- secondary means are provided to avoid parallax errors. Between the sighting device and the associated secondary means a so-called sighting line can be created. Errors when reading the position of the counterweight are reduced or even avoided.
- the device is also part of a protective device to protect against collisions with the counterweight.
- the protective device comprises one or more shielding sections.
- the device can record a double function in the sequence. On the one hand it allows the control of the counterweight, on the other hand it is ensured that the counterweight is protected against unauthorized contact.
- the shielding section has a transparent element.
- a transparent element may in particular be made of plastic or glass.
- the transparent element allows unobstructed view of the counterweight.
- a transparent element made of plastic or glass also reliably prevents unintentional intrusion of a mechanic or checker into the travel range of the counterweight.
- each comparison position at least one sighting device in connection with the shielding section. This allows a one-piece production of the shielding section.
- the device can thus be installed as a single unit in a shaft of the counterweight or on a shaft of the counterweight.
- the device is designed such that the respective secondary means is horizontally spaced from the respective sighting device.
- Horizontal spacing increases the accuracy of the device or measurement result since the longer a line of sight between the sighting device and the associated secondary means, the smaller the reading error becomes.
- the counterweight is located between the secondary means and the sighting device.
- An axis of movement of the counterweight cuts the line of sight.
- a first secondary means of an upper comparison position by an upper sighting device is invisible seen and a second secondary means of a lower comparison position by a lower sighting device or seen through the upper sighting visible when the counterweight assumes a normal operating position in its lower end position.
- each have a sighting device and a secondary means together, which are preferably arranged in a horizontal plane.
- a sighting device can cooperate with two secondary means.
- the sighting device is preferably in a horizontal plane with the upper secondary means.
- the lower secondary means is here by the sighting device obliquely downwards and may be somewhat lower than would be the case for a lower secondary means with a separately cooperating sighting device.
- the secondary means is attachable or applied to a wall of a hoistway. For attaching the secondary means no additional funds must be provided in the sequence.
- the secondary agent is integrated in the shielding section of the device or is attached or attachable thereto.
- both the sighting device and the secondary means are attached to the same shielding section. Creation, installation and maintenance are thus simplified.
- the sighting device and the secondary means are each attachable to opposite sides of the transparent element. If the sighting devices and the secondary means are mounted on opposite sides of the transparent element, then the device can be attached independently of the design of the shaft.
- the transparent element preferably has a thickness of at least 1 cm, preferably 2 cm and particularly preferably at least 5 cm.
- a minimum thickness of the transparent element favors the accuracy in reading the position of the counterweight, in particular, the thicker the transparent element is, the longer the line of sight.
- the device is configured such that the sighting device and / or the secondary means are adjustable to preferred comparison positions of the counterweight. This allows the manufacture and manufacture of the device regardless of the particular use in an elevator. In particular, the sighting device can be adjusted with the secondary means to the respective required situation in an elevator installation.
- the sighting device or the secondary means respectively the sighting devices or the secondary means markings, which are in particular applied or engraved.
- the manufacture of the device is particularly user-friendly and inexpensive to manufacture.
- the sighting devices and / or the secondary means may be adjustable elements.
- wire elements, beams or profiles are conceivable. It is also conceivable, for example, to make the adjustable profiles pivotable in order to extend the sighting line.
- the comparison position which provides a fixed reference, for example, to an impact buffer of the counterweight
- the detection or reading of the position of the counterweight is simplified.
- the elevator car In order to determine an operating position of the counterweight in its end position, the elevator car is preferably moved from any operating position to its uppermost operating position to bring the counterweight in an end position. This allows the detection or reading of the position of the counterweight with respect to a predefined operating position of the elevator car. Typically, the elevator car is driven to its top floor, as this may represent a top possible operating position.
- FIGS. 1a to 1c show an elevator system 100 in various operating conditions.
- FIG. 1a shows an elevator system 100 with an elevator car 2, which is connected to a rope via a deflection roller 3 with a counterweight 1.
- the counterweight 1 is located in an end position above the stop buffer 4. The end position is present essentially between an upper and a lower maxima of a Endlagen Suites (not designated here).

- FIG. 1b now shows the elevator system FIG. 1a , For clarity, the reference numerals, as in FIG. 1a shown, omitted.
- the elevator car 2 is located at an elevator car distance 2a below the end position.
- the counterweight 1 has already ascended on the stop buffer 4.
- an alarm is triggered and set the elevator system out of service. This situation arises when the counterweight 1 is outside the operating range. This may for example be because the rope connecting the elevator car 2 and the counterweight 1 is too long.
- FIG. 1c now shows the situation FIG. 1a if the connecting cable between elevator car 2 and counterweight 1 is too short.
- the elevator car 2 is located in Figure 1c in a lower end position, which is typically defined by the elevator car 2 being on the lowest floor.
- the counterweight 1 from the Figure 1c has traveled with a counterweight distance 1a over the maximum permissible range. There is a risk of collision with the deflection roller 3.
- Such a situation can be detected when the elevator 100 in an end position as in FIG. 1b is described, with the counterweight 1, against the FIG. 1b , located above the stop buffer 4, when the elevator car 2 is in its uppermost end position (see FIG. 2 ).
- FIG. 2 shows a schematic representation of an inventive device 10.

Between the sighting device 10 and the associated secondary means 11, a virtual sighting line 15 is shown. A corresponding virtual sighting line 15 'is shown between the second sighting means 10' and the second secondary means 11 '. A further sighting device with corresponding secondary means (not designated here) is shown between the aforementioned sighting devices 10, 10 ', respectively between the abovementioned secondary means 11, 11'.

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung an einer Aufzugsanlage mit einem Gegengewicht zum Feststellen der Position eines Gegengewichtes sowie ein Verfahren zum Feststellen der Position eines Gegengewichtes gemäss den Oberbegriffen der unabhängigen Ansprüche.The present invention relates to a device on an elevator system with a counterweight for detecting the position of a counterweight and a method for determining the position of a counterweight according to the preambles of the independent claims.
Mit der Offenlegungsschrift
Es ist Aufgabe der Erfindung, die Nachteile des Standes der Technik zu überwinden. Insbesondere soll eine Vorrichtung und ein Verfahren zur Verfügung gestellt werden, welches eine genaue Kontrolle des Gegengewichtes in zumindest einer Endposition ermöglicht und vereinfacht, und die Unfallgefahr für den Kontrolleur ausschliesst. Insbesondere soll es möglich sein, die Position des Gegengewichtes zu prüfen, ohne die Aufzugsanlage stilllegen oder ausser Betrieb setzen zu müssen.It is an object of the invention to overcome the disadvantages of the prior art. In particular, a device and a method is to be provided, which allows precise control of the counterweight in at least one end position and simplified, and excludes the risk of accident for the inspector. In particular, it should be possible to check the position of the counterweight without having to shut down the elevator system or put it out of service.
Diese Aufgabe wird durch die in den unabhängigen Patentansprüchen definierten Vorrichtungen und Verfahren gelöst. Weitere Ausführungsformen ergeben sich aus den abhängigen Patentansprüchen.This object is achieved by the devices and methods defined in the independent patent claims. Further embodiments emerge from the dependent claims.
Eine erfindungsgemässe Vorrichtunge an einer Aufzuganlage mit einem Gegengewicht weist wenigstens eine Visiervorrichtung auf. Das Gegengewicht ist aus einer beliebigen Betriebslage in eine Endlage fahrbar. Die Vorrichtung weist wenigstens einen, im Abstand zum Gegengewicht in der Endlage und ortsfest angeordneten, insbesondere transparenten Abschirmungsabschnitt auf. Die Visiervorrichtung ist derart angeordnet, dass durch Visierung auf eine Unterkante des Gegengewichtes oder auf eine Markierung am Gegengewicht dessen Position in Bezug auf mindestens eine Vergleichsposition feststellbar ist.A device according to the invention on an elevator installation with a counterweight has at least one sighting device. The counterweight can be moved from any operating position to an end position. The device has at least one, in particular at a distance from the counterweight in the end position and stationary, in particular transparent shielding portion. The sighting device is arranged such that its position relative to at least one reference position can be determined by visualization on a lower edge of the counterweight or on a marking on the counterweight.
Unter Abschirmungsabschnitt wird ein Abschnitt einer Schutzeinrichtung verstanden, die das Gegengewicht zumindest teilweise vom Schachtinnern abschirmt. Damit kann das Eindringen eines Servicetechnikers in den Verfahrbereich des Gegengewichts erschwert oder gar verunmöglicht werden. Die Schutzeinrichtung kann aus einem oder mehreren Abschirmungsabschnitten aufgebaut sein, die beispielsweise als Panele, Wandelemente, Bleche, Gitter, Fachwerkstrukturen, Netze oder dergleichen ausgestaltet sind, die der Abschirmung des Gegengewichts dienlich sind.Shielding section is understood to mean a section of a protective device which at least partially shields the counterweight from the shaft interior. Thus, the penetration of a service technician into the travel range of the counterweight can be made more difficult or even impossible. The protective device can be constructed of one or more shielding sections, which are designed for example as panels, wall elements, sheets, grids, truss structures, nets or the like, which are useful for shielding the counterweight.
Die Endlage des Gegengewichtes wird durch die Endlage einer Aufzugskabine definiert. Bevorzugt ist die Aufzugskabine über eine Umlenkrolle mit dem Gegengewicht verbunden. Durch Dehnung oder Erwärmung, aber auch durch Alterung oder Abnutzung des Seiles oder der Aufzugsanlage kann die Endlage des Gegengewichtes über die Zeit veränderlich sein.The end position of the counterweight is defined by the end position of an elevator car. Preferably, the elevator car is connected via a deflection roller with the counterweight. By stretching or heating, but also by aging or wear of the rope or the elevator system, the end position of the counterweight can be variable over time.
Das Gegengewicht kann sich im gleichen Schacht befinden wie der Aufzug, es kann jedoch auch ein separater Gegengewichtsschacht vorgesehen sein. Hier und im Folgenden soll der Ausdruck Schacht beide möglichen Varianten umfassen.The counterweight may be located in the same shaft as the elevator, but it may also be provided a separate counterweight shaft. Here and below, the term shaft is intended to include both possible variants.
Typischerweise wird für die Endlage des Gegengewichtes ein Bereich definiert, in welchem sich das Gegengewicht in normalem Betrieb befinden sollte.Typically, for the end position of the counterweight, a range is defined in which the counterweight should be in normal operation.
Eine Visiervorrichtung im Sinne der Erfindung ist derart gestaltet, dass beispielsweise über einen Fixpunkt ein Gegenstand anvisiert werden kann.A sighting device according to the invention is designed such that an object can be targeted, for example, via a fixed point.
Die Vergleichsposition ist, wie vorliegend dargelegt, eine Position aus einem Bereich, in welchem sich das Gegengewicht in normaler Betriebslage befinden muss. Bevorzugt sind solche Vergleichspositionen obere und untere Maximalpositionen. Mit einer derartigen Vorrichtung lässt sich die Abweichung des Gegengewichtes von einer Soll- zu einer Ist-Position auf einfache Art und Weise feststellen, ohne den Monteur oder Kontrolleur zu gefährden oder die Aufzugsanlage ausser Betrieb setzen zu müssen.The comparison position, as set forth herein, is a position from an area in which the counterweight must be in the normal operating position. Preferably, such comparison positions are upper and lower maximum positions. With such a device, the deviation of the counterweight from a desired to an actual position can be determined in a simple manner, without endangering the fitter or inspector or having to put the elevator system out of operation.
Die Vorrichtung kann wenigstens eine zweite Visiervorrichtung aufweisen, mit welcher die Position des Gegengewichtes in Bezug auf mindestens eine zweite Vergleichsposition feststellbar ist. Eine derart gestaltete Vorrichtung mit zwei Visiervorrichtungen ermöglicht es, eine Betriebslage des Gegengewichtes relativ zu einer beispielsweise oberen und unteren Maximallage festzustellen. Die Genauigkeit der Aussage über die Lage des Gegengewichtes kann somit erhöht werden.The device may comprise at least a second sighting device, with which the position of the counterweight with respect to at least one second comparison position can be determined. Such a device with two sighting devices makes it possible to determine an operating position of the counterweight relative to an example, upper and lower maximum position. The accuracy of the statement about the position of the counterweight can thus be increased.
Bevorzugt weist eine derartige Vorrichtung für jede Vergleichsposition Sekundärmittel auf, welche mit der Visiervorrichtung zusammenwirken. Solche Sekundärmittel sind zur Vermeidung von Parallaxefehlern vorgesehen. Zwischen der Visiervorrichtung und den zugehörenden Sekundärmitteln kann eine sogenannte Visierlinie erstellt werden. Fehler beim Ablesen der Position des Gegengewichtes werden verringert oder gar vermieden.Preferably, such a device for each comparison position on secondary means, which cooperate with the sighting device. Such secondary means are provided to avoid parallax errors. Between the sighting device and the associated secondary means a so-called sighting line can be created. Errors when reading the position of the counterweight are reduced or even avoided.
Bevorzugt ist die Vorrichtung ausserdem Teil einer Schutzeinrichtung zum Schutz vor Kollisionen mit dem Gegengewicht. Die Schutzeinrichtung umfasst einen oder mehrere Abschirmungsabschnitte. Die Vorrichtung kann in der Folge eine Doppelfunktion aufnehmen. Zum einen ermöglicht sie die Kontrolle des Gegengewichtes, zum anderen ist sichergestellt, dass das Gegengewicht vor unbefugtem Berühren geschützt ist.Preferably, the device is also part of a protective device to protect against collisions with the counterweight. The protective device comprises one or more shielding sections. The device can record a double function in the sequence. On the one hand it allows the control of the counterweight, on the other hand it is ensured that the counterweight is protected against unauthorized contact.
In einer weiter bevorzugten Ausführungsform weist der Abschirmungsabschnitt ein transparentes Element auf. Ein transparentes Element kann insbesondere aus Kunststoff oder Glas gefertigt sein. Das transparente Element, ermöglicht ungehinderten Einblick auf das Gegengewicht. Ein transparentes Element aus Kunststoff oder Glas verhindert ausserdem zuverlässig ein unbeabsichtigtes Eindringen eines Monteurs oder Kontrolleurs in den Verfahrbereich des Gegengewichts.In a further preferred embodiment, the shielding section has a transparent element. A transparent element may in particular be made of plastic or glass. The transparent element allows unobstructed view of the counterweight. A transparent element made of plastic or glass also reliably prevents unintentional intrusion of a mechanic or checker into the travel range of the counterweight.
Weiter bevorzugt ist für jede Vergleichsposition zumindest eine Visiervorrichtung in Verbindung mit dem Abschirmungsabschnitt. Dies ermöglicht eine einstückige Fertigung des Abschirmungsabschnitts. Die Vorrichtung kann somit als einzelne Einheit in einem Schacht des Gegengewichtes oder an einem Schacht des Gegengewichtes verbaut werden.Further preferred is for each comparison position at least one sighting device in connection with the shielding section. This allows a one-piece production of the shielding section. The device can thus be installed as a single unit in a shaft of the counterweight or on a shaft of the counterweight.
Bevorzugt ist die Vorrichtung derart gestaltet, dass das jeweilige Sekundärmittel zur jeweiligen Visiervorrichtung horizontal beabstandet ist. Eine horizontale Beabstandung erhöht die Genauigkeit der Vorrichtung oder des Messresultates, da, je länger eine Visierlinie zwischen der Visiervorrichtung und dem zugehörigen Sekundärmittel ist, je geringer der Ablesefehler wird.Preferably, the device is designed such that the respective secondary means is horizontally spaced from the respective sighting device. Horizontal spacing increases the accuracy of the device or measurement result since the longer a line of sight between the sighting device and the associated secondary means, the smaller the reading error becomes.
In einer bevorzugten Ausgestaltung der Vorrichtung befindet sich das Gegengewicht zwischen dem Sekundärmittel und der Visiervorrichtung. Eine Bewegungsachse des Gegengewichtes schneidet die Visierlinie. Hierbei ist ein erstes Sekundärmittel einer oberen Vergleichsposition durch eine obere Visiervorrichtung gesehen unsichtbar und ein zweites Sekundärmittel einer unteren Vergleichsposition durch eine untere Visiervorrichtung gesehen oder durch die obere Visiervorrichtung gesehen sichtbar, wenn das Gegengewicht in seiner unteren Endlage eine normale Betriebslage einnimmt. Vorzugsweise wirken je eine Visiervorrichtung und ein Sekundärmittel zusammen, wobei diese bevorzugt in einer horizontalen Ebene angeordnet sind.In a preferred embodiment of the device, the counterweight is located between the secondary means and the sighting device. An axis of movement of the counterweight cuts the line of sight. Here, a first secondary means of an upper comparison position by an upper sighting device is invisible seen and a second secondary means of a lower comparison position by a lower sighting device or seen through the upper sighting visible when the counterweight assumes a normal operating position in its lower end position. Preferably, each have a sighting device and a secondary means together, which are preferably arranged in a horizontal plane.
Alternativ kann aber auch eine Visiervorrichtung mit zwei Sekundärmitteln zusammenwirken. Bei dieser alternativen Ausführung liegt die Visiervorrichtung vorzugsweise mit dem oberen Sekundarmittel in einer horizontalen Ebene. Das untere Sekundärmittel wird hier durch die Visiervorrichtung schräg nach unten anvisiert und liegt möglicherweise etwas tiefer als dies bei einem unteren Sekundärmittel mit einer separat zusammenwirkenden Visiervorrichtung der Fall wäre.Alternatively, however, a sighting device can cooperate with two secondary means. In this alternative embodiment, the sighting device is preferably in a horizontal plane with the upper secondary means. The lower secondary means is here by the sighting device obliquely downwards and may be somewhat lower than would be the case for a lower secondary means with a separately cooperating sighting device.
Mit einer derartigen Anordnung des Sekundärmittels und der entsprechenden Visiervorrichtung wird eine einfache Möglichkeit zum Ablesen der Position des Gegengewichtes bereitgestellt. Bevorzugt ist das sekundäre Mittel auf einer Wand eines Aufzugschachtes anbringbar oder aufgebracht. Zur Anbringung des Sekundärmittels müssen in der Folge keine zusätzlichen Mittel bereitgestellt werden.With such an arrangement of the secondary means and the corresponding sighting device, a simple way of reading the position of the counterweight is provided. Preferably, the secondary means is attachable or applied to a wall of a hoistway. For attaching the secondary means no additional funds must be provided in the sequence.
Alternativ ist es jedoch auch vorstellbar, dass das Sekundärmittel in den Abschirmungsabschnitt der Vorrichtung integriert ist oder daran angebracht ist oder anbringbar ist. Somit sind sowohl die Visiervorrichtung als auch die Sekundärmittel am gleichen Abschirmungsabschnitt befestigt. Erstellung, Montage und Wartung werden somit vereinfacht. Bevorzugt ist die Visiervorrichtung und das Sekundärmittel jeweils auf gegenüberliegenden Seiten des transparenten Elements anbringbar. Sind die Visiervorrichtungen und das Sekundärmittel auf gegenüberliegenden Seiten des transparenten Elementes angebracht, so ist die Vorrichtung unabhängig von der Ausgestaltung des Schachtes anbringbar.Alternatively, however, it is also conceivable that the secondary agent is integrated in the shielding section of the device or is attached or attachable thereto. Thus, both the sighting device and the secondary means are attached to the same shielding section. Creation, installation and maintenance are thus simplified. Preferably, the sighting device and the secondary means are each attachable to opposite sides of the transparent element. If the sighting devices and the secondary means are mounted on opposite sides of the transparent element, then the device can be attached independently of the design of the shaft.
Bevorzugt weist das transparente Element eine Dicke von mindestens 1cm, bevorzugt 2cm und besonders bevorzugt mindestens 5cm auf. Eine Mindestdicke des transparenten Elementes begünstigt die Genauigkeit beim Ablesen der Position des Gegengewichtes, da insbesondere, je dicker das transparente Element ist, je länger die Visierlinie wird.The transparent element preferably has a thickness of at least 1 cm, preferably 2 cm and particularly preferably at least 5 cm. A minimum thickness of the transparent element favors the accuracy in reading the position of the counterweight, in particular, the thicker the transparent element is, the longer the line of sight.
Bevorzugt ist die Vorrichtung derart ausgestaltet, dass die Visiervorrichtung und/oder die Sekundärmittel auf bevorzugte Vergleichspositionen des Gegengewichtes einstellbar sind. Dies ermöglicht die Herstellung und Fertigung der Vorrichtung unabhängig vom jeweiligen Einsatz in einem Aufzug. Insbesondere kann die Visiervorrichtung mit den Sekundärmitteln auf die jeweilige geforderte Situation in einer Aufzugsanlage eingestellt werden.Preferably, the device is configured such that the sighting device and / or the secondary means are adjustable to preferred comparison positions of the counterweight. This allows the manufacture and manufacture of the device regardless of the particular use in an elevator. In particular, the sighting device can be adjusted with the secondary means to the respective required situation in an elevator installation.
Bevorzugt sind die Visiervorrichtung oder das Sekundärmittel respektive die Visiervorrichtungen oder die Sekundärmittel Markierungen, welche insbesondere aufgetragen oder eingraviert sind. Durch eingravierte oder aufgetragene Markierungen ist die Fertigung der Vorrichtung besonders benutzerfreundlich und günstig herzustellen.Preferably, the sighting device or the secondary means respectively the sighting devices or the secondary means markings, which are in particular applied or engraved. By engraved or applied markings, the manufacture of the device is particularly user-friendly and inexpensive to manufacture.
In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform können die Visiervorrichtungen und/oder die Sekundärmittel einstellbare Elemente sein. Vorstellbar sind zum Beispiel Drahtelemente, Balken oder Profile. Es ist ausserdem vorstellbar, die einstellbaren Profile beispielsweise schwenkbar auszugestalten, um die Visierlinie zu verlängern.In a preferred embodiment, the sighting devices and / or the secondary means may be adjustable elements. For example, wire elements, beams or profiles are conceivable. It is also conceivable, for example, to make the adjustable profiles pivotable in order to extend the sighting line.
Durch die Vergleichsposition, welche einen unveränderlichen Bezug, beispielsweise zu einem Aufprallpuffer des Gegengewichtes bereitstellt, wird das Feststellen oder Auslesen der Position des Gegengewichtes vereinfacht.By the comparison position, which provides a fixed reference, for example, to an impact buffer of the counterweight, the detection or reading of the position of the counterweight is simplified.
Um eine Betriebsposition des Gegengewichts in seiner Endlage zu bestimmen wird die Aufzugskabine bevorzugt aus einer beliebigen Betriebslage in seine oberste Betriebsposition gefahren um das Gegengewicht in eine Endlage zu bringen. Dies ermöglicht das Feststellen oder Ablesen der Position des Gegengewichtes bezüglich einer Vordefinierten Betriebsposition der Aufzugskabine. Typischerweise wird die Aufzugskabine in ihre oberste Etage gefahren, da dies eine oberste mögliche Betriebsposition darstellen kann.In order to determine an operating position of the counterweight in its end position, the elevator car is preferably moved from any operating position to its uppermost operating position to bring the counterweight in an end position. This allows the detection or reading of the position of the counterweight with respect to a predefined operating position of the elevator car. Typically, the elevator car is driven to its top floor, as this may represent a top possible operating position.
