Safety apparatus for an elevator apparatus and a drive apparatus thereof
A safety apparatus for elevator apparatuses which can move a cab via a drive including a monitoring unit for monitoring at least one of the drive and/or the motor regulation system of the drive, a safety device having at least two sensors, which can be switched between at least two switching states depending on a state, in particular a closing state. In order to be able to reduce operating costs, at least one of the safety device and the monitoring unit includes a controller, which is designed to identify the respective switching states of the sensors, and to transmit at least one of data and monitoring signals to the monitoring unit.
1. A safety apparatus for an elevator apparatus which can move a cab via a drive, comprising:
a monitoring unit for monitoring at least one of the drive and the motor regulation system of the drive,
a safety device having at least two sensors that are switched between at least two switching states depending on a state of the elevator apparatus, wherein at least one of the safety device and the monitoring unit comprises a controller that identifies the respective switching states of the sensors, and transmits at least one of data and monitoring signals to the monitoring unit, and
the monitoring unit further comprises an interruption apparatus for interrupting the drive depending on at least one of the data and monitoring signals from the controller,
wherein the sensors and the controller are connected in series.
2. The safety apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the controller receives at least one of data and monitoring signals from the monitoring unit.
3. The safety apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the safety device is in the form of a bus system, wherein the sensors each have an electronics unit which is connected to the bus, such that at least one of the switching states of the sensors and identification data from the sensors is communicated via the bus.
4. The safety apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising a bus system to which the monitoring unit and the controller are connected, such that at least one of the switching states of the sensors and identification data of the sensors is communicated via the bus.
5. The safety apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising a safety circuit having a closed and an open conduction state and which comprises a dedicated interruption apparatus for interrupting the drive depending on the conduction state of the safety circuit.
6. The safety apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising a safety circuit having a closed and an open conduction state, the safety circuit being connected to the interruption apparatus of the monitoring unit.
7. The safety apparatus according to claim 5 , wherein the safety circuit comprises at least one electromechanical switch.
8. The safety apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising an indicator apparatus for indicating the switching state of the individual sensors with assignment of the individual switching states to the corresponding sensors.
9. A drive apparatus for an elevator, comprising a drive motor, and a safety apparatus according to claim 1 .
10. An elevator apparatus which can move a cab via a drive, comprising a cab, at least one elevator door for opening and closing the cab, and a safety apparatus according to claim 1 .
11. The elevator apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the sensors are switched between the two switching states depending upon a closing state of an elevator door of the elevator apparatus.
