ELEVATOR CONTROL DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18232993 titled 'ELEVATOR CONTROL DEVICE
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes an elevator control device that manages the weight capacity of an elevator cage when both a person and a robot are on board.
- The elevator control device includes a storage that stores the maximum weight the cage can handle.
- A controller is responsible for setting the maximum weight allowed on the cage during elevator operation.
- If the controller detects that a robot is waiting to enter the cage while the maximum weight is already set at the rated weight, it adjusts the maximum weight to accommodate the robot.
- The adjusted maximum weight is calculated by subtracting the weight of the robot from the rated weight, ensuring that the total weight on the cage remains within its capacity.
Original Abstract Submitted
An elevator control device controls an elevator including a cage that a person and a robot get on, and the elevator control device includes: a storage that stores a rated weight of the cage; and a controller that sets a set maximum weight that is set during operation of the elevator as a maximum value of a weight loaded on the cage, wherein when the controller determines that the robot is waiting to get on the cage while the set maximum weight is set at the rated weight, the controller sets, as the set maximum weight, a limit maximum weight that is a weight less than or equal to a value obtained by subtracting a weight of the robot from the rated weight.
