Abstract

Abstract A procedure for adjusting the stopping of an elevator as accurately as possible on desired level with the aid of the deceleration instruction (DR). From the elevator's deceleration instruction (DR) a sample is taken at the beginning and at the end of deceleration, these are compared with each other and the linearity of deceleration is adjusted on the basis of the result obtained. The invention also concerns an elevator deceleration measuring circuit for carrying out the procedure. The measuring circuit, connected to the deceleration instruction (DR) of the elevator, comprises a display unit such as for instance two light-emitting diodes (D4,D5) by which the result can be ascertained if the deceleration instruction is increasing or decreasing.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim 67 words
Procedure for adjusting the stopping of an elevator as accurately as possible by adjustment of deceleration linearity on desired level with the aid of a deceleration instruction (DR), characterized in that the elevator is run both upward and downward; comprising sampling the elevator's deceleration instruction at the beginning and end of deceleration, comparing said samples, and adjusting the linearity of said deceleration instruction based on said sampling.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 67 words
Procedure for adjusting the stopping of an elevator as accurately as possible by adjustment of deceleration linearity on desired level with the aid of a deceleration instruction (DR), characterized in that the elevator is run both upward and downward; comprising sampling the elevator's deceleration instruction at the beginning and end of deceleration, comparing said samples, and adjusting the linearity of said deceleration instruction based on said sampling.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 64 words
A procedure according to claim 1, wherein the elevator includes a measuring circuit connected to the deceleration instruction (DR) of the elevator and comprises a display unit including two light emitting diodes responsive to the deceleration instruction; and wherein said step of comparing includes the step of observing said light emitting diodes (D4, D5) to ascertain if the deceleration instruction is increasing or decreasing.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 48 words
A procedure according to claim 2 wherein the measuring circuit comprises two memories and wherein said step of sampling further comprises the step of storing samples in each of said memories by means of switches which are operable depending on whether the deceleration instruction is increasing or decreasing.
