20090071762 | REMOTE INFORMING SYSTEM FOR ELEVATOR - It is possible to build a remote alarming system with a relatively simple structure, and to handle an abnormality promptly in a case where abnormality occurs in an elevator. The remote alarming system for an elevator includes: an elevator control device ( | 03-19-2009 |
20110073416 | Elevator Security System - A security system for an elevator has a car position sensor, which is adapted to determine if a car is at a landing. The security system further has an indicator, which is located at the landing. The indicator is adapted to emit a warning signal if the car is not at the landing. | 03-31-2011 |
20110240414 | REMOTELY OBSERVABLE ANALYSIS FOR AN ELEVATOR SYSTEM - An exemplary system for monitoring an elevator arrangement includes a detector arranged to detect conditions or events in, on or near an associated elevator car. A monitoring device monitors a status of the associated elevator car. The monitoring device communicates with the detector for receiving data indicative of any event or condition detected by the detector. The monitoring device provides an output that associates the status of the elevator car at a time of any detected event or condition with an indication of the detected event or condition including a reproduction of the detected event or condition. | 10-06-2011 |
20130001022 | ELEVATOR INTERFACE - A system and method are disclosed for logically disconnecting fire alarm equipment from elevator control equipment to enable independent testing of each equipment set. The system and method may include an interface having a fire alarm equipment side and an elevator control side which are interconnected by a plurality of relays. A plurality of action relays may be associated with specific functions of the elevator controller. A plurality of bypass relays are interposed between the action relays and the elevator controller so that when a “bypass” operation is initiated, the bypass relays prevent signals from the action relays from reaching the elevator controller. As such, the action relays can be tested without impacting ongoing elevator operations. In addition, the logical disconnection arrangement ensures proper functioning of the system once testing is completed. Other embodiments are disclosed and claimed. | 01-03-2013 |
20130056313 | MINING ELEVATOR TRACTION CABLE CONNECTING APPARATUS AND MEASURING METHOD THEREFOR - A mining elevator traction cable connecting apparatus and a measuring method therefor, for use in a mining elevator serving a deep-mine. The apparatus includes an industrial personal computer (IPC), a signal collector connected to the IPC, multiple symmetrically arranged cable rings for use in connecting to one end of a traction cable, and a traction cable tension adjusting apparatus connected to the multiple of cable rings. Arranged within the traction cable tension adjusting apparatus are a plurality of hydraulic cylinders, and a plurality of draw wire displacement sensors for use in monitoring the relative displacement between each hydraulic cylinder plunger and a corresponding hydraulic cylinder body. The draw wire displacement sensors and an oil pressure sensor connected to a hydraulic pipeline are connected to the IPC via the signal collector, forming a traction cable tension and degree of adjustment measuring system. | 03-07-2013 |
20130075203 | SAFE ZONE DETECTION SYSTEM - A safe-zone sensing system for a lift having a base, a lift platform, and a driving system for raising and lowering the lift platform. The safe-zone sensing system comprises a sensor system having a plurality of sensors mounted to the base of the lift. The sensors collectively defining a safe-zone around the base of the lift and detecting motion or obstructions within the safe zone, a controller fires the sensors in a preselected sequence for continuously scanning the safe zone. Scanning is started when the platform raises above a preselected height. The sensor controller generates an alert which initiates a safety sequence when motion or obstructions are sensed by at least one of the plurality of sensors. | 03-28-2013 |
20150090537 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR MONITORING THE LUBRICANT CONTENT OF ELEVATOR ROPES - A method and an apparatus for monitoring and supervising the lubricant content of elevator ropes in an elevator, which includes at least a hoisting machine provided with a drive motor, the hoisting machine including at least a traction sheave, around which one or more elevator ropes are fitted side-by-side, which ropes move under the effect of friction along with the rotational movement of the traction sheave and at the same time move the elevator car. The lubricant content is monitored and supervised by the aid of a magnetic measuring device disposed in the immediate proximity of the traction sheave and the elevator ropes by collecting in the measuring device the metal dust detaching in connection with wear of the traction sheave and of the elevator ropes during operation of the elevator and by letting the metal dust switch on an alarm about a lubricant content of the elevator ropes that is too low. | 04-02-2015 |
