METHOD FOR OPERATING AN ELEVATOR FOR MAINTENANCE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240010464 titled 'METHOD FOR OPERATING AN ELEVATOR FOR MAINTENANCE

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a method for operating an elevator during maintenance. The elevator has a car, an elevator shaft, a drive for displacing the car, and multiple shaft doors at each floor. The elevator control unit performs the method steps of checking if a person is in a predefined danger zone (preferably the elevator shaft) and switching back to normal operation mode if there is no person in the danger zone.

  • The method is used to operate an elevator during maintenance.
  • The elevator has a car that can move along the elevator shaft.
  • The elevator also has a drive that displaces the car.
  • Multiple shaft doors are present at each floor, including the lowermost and uppermost floors.
  • An elevator control unit performs the method steps.
  • The method includes checking if a person is within a predefined danger zone, which is preferably the elevator shaft.
  • The method also includes switching from maintenance mode to normal operation mode when there is no person in the danger zone.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Elevator maintenance: This method can be used to safely operate elevators during maintenance, ensuring that no person is in the danger zone before switching back to normal operation mode.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Safety during maintenance: The method ensures that no person is within the danger zone (elevator shaft) before resuming normal operation, preventing accidents or injuries.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Enhanced safety: By checking for the presence of a person in the danger zone, the method ensures that the elevator can only switch back to normal operation mode when it is safe to do so, reducing the risk of accidents or injuries during maintenance.


Original Abstract Submitted

a method for operating an elevator for maintenance is performed on an elevator having a car, an elevator shaft, wherein the car is displaceable along the elevator shaft, a drive displacing the car, a plurality of shaft doors, at least one of the shaft doors being arranged at each of multiple floors including at least a lowermost floor and a uppermost floor, and an elevator control unit. the elevator control unit performs among others the method steps of: checking whether a person is within a predefined danger zone, wherein the predefined danger zone preferably is the elevator shaft; and switching from the maintenance mode back into a normal operation mode when there is no person within the predefined danger zone.
