Abstract

Abstract In an elevator speed control apparatus wherein an output signal of a speed detector is sampled at a predetermined interval, and an output signal obtained by processing the sampling is applied to an inverter so as to perform a slip frequency control of an induction motor; correction means to receive the speed detector output signal sampled at the predetermined interval, to differentiate it to generate a differential signal and to deliver the differential signal as a correction signal is provided, so that a magnitude by which a rotational speed of the induction motor changes after the output signal of the speed detector has been fed into a microcomputer until the control signal is applied to the inverter is corrected, whereupon the signal for the speed control is delivered to the inverter, thereby to correct the lag of speed detection attributed to the sampling control.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim 156 words
In an elevator speed control apparatus having a converter which converts alternating current into direct current, an inverter which inverts the D.C. output of the converter into alternating current to control a speed of a hoisting induction motor, a speed detector which detects the rotational speed of the induction motor, and processing means to control the A.C. output of the inverter, wherein an output signal of the speed detector is fed into the processing means at a predetermined interval, and an output signal produced by calculation of the processing means is applied to the inverter so as to perform a slip frequency control of the induction motor; a speed control apparatus for an elevator characterized by comprising means to correct a magnitude by which the rotational speed of the induction motor changes after the output signal of said speed detector has been fed into said processing means until the control signal is applied to said inverter.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 156 words
In an elevator speed control apparatus having a converter which converts alternating current into direct current, an inverter which inverts the D.C. output of the converter into alternating current to control a speed of a hoisting induction motor, a speed detector which detects the rotational speed of the induction motor, and processing means to control the A.C. output of the inverter, wherein an output signal of the speed detector is fed into the processing means at a predetermined interval, and an output signal produced by calculation of the processing means is applied to the inverter so as to perform a slip frequency control of the induction motor; a speed control apparatus for an elevator characterized by comprising means to correct a magnitude by which the rotational speed of the induction motor changes after the output signal of said speed detector has been fed into said processing means until the control signal is applied to said inverter.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 43 words
