Abstract
In the entranceway between an elevator car and a floor are two oppositely sliding doors (10, 20). The approach of these doors is controlled by a detection system that senses the presence of objects between the doors. This system includes, on each door, a plurality of emitters (12, 22) which are vertically spaced apart the door edge (11, 21), for radiating non-collimated light towards the edge of the other door. At the top and bottom portions of each door edge there is a sensor (13, 23), which can receive the radiation for the emitters on the other door edge. The emitters on each door edge are sequentially turned on and the sensors on the opposite door edge provide a corresponding signal as they are turned on, unless an obstruction is in the way, causing the detection system to generate a signal that thus indicates that an objet is between the doors.
Description
Description
PHOTOELECTRIC OBSTRUCTION DETECTER FOR ELEVATOR DOORWAYS
Technical Field
This invention relates to equipment for sensing that an object is in a defined space, in particular, a doorway, such as an elevator car doorway.
Background Art
In elevators it is common to use one or more sliding doors and to open and close them automatically. Consequently, often equipment is used that detects the presence of an obstructing body, namely a passenger, between the doors just prior to and during their automatic closure to control equipment to prevent the doors from closing more and, preferably, reopen them.
One such device puts a light beam in a path transverse the door opening and uses a sensor to detect an interruption of the light beam, which would occur if an obstruction is between the door. Then, upon sensing an interruption, the sensor issues a signal to the door control mechanism to alter the normal operation of the doors, preferably reopen them.
In usual practice that device has an array of light sources disposed on one side of the doorway, producing parallel light beams at different levels, and a corresponding array of photo-sensitive detectors arranged on the other door, for sensing those light
beams, thus creating a system which can sense objects of different heights between the door. For maximum sensitivity, the light beams are generally colli- ated by a lens to ensure that each sensor is responsive to one light source.
This arrangement, although generally satis¬ factory, has a disadvantage: because the light beams are spaced apart from each other, objects between the beams are not sensed. For instance, an arm extended horizontally may fail to be sensed.
The sensitivity could, of course, be improved, for instance, by spacing the parallel beams more closely together, in effect, providing substantially contiguous light beams. But, that would be costly to implement, and, to maintain sensitivity, the light beams would need to be highly collimated to prevent stray light from one sensor from reaching an adjacent - the wrong - sensor, -as that could blind the sensor. The large number of photodetectors and their optical systems for beam colli aticn that would be needed would, of course, add significantly to cost. Mirrors may be used to extend the path length of a light beam from its source so that the beam traverses the door opening a number of times prior to striking a photodetector. But, while that reduces the number of detectors required, it also reduces the intensity of the light beam reaching each detector; thus, in the end, increasing the demands on beam optics. Consequently, the simple array of spaced apart parallel beams-has been widely accepted as being the best compromise of safety, efficiency and cost.
Disclosure of Invention
According to the present invention, a device for sensing the presence of an object in the doorway of an elevator cab comprises: a plurality of emitters, each spaced apart from each other, and each activatable to emit radiation; a' plurality of sensors each adapted to issue a signal in response to radiation received from an emitter, said sensors each being spaced apart from each other, and each being spaced apart from each emitter along a radia¬ tion path extending between it and that emitter; means for activating said emitters repetitively in ■ a first sequence; and means for detection of a signal, if any, issued by any one of said sensors in response to an activated emitter; whereby an obstruction occurs during said sequence of any radiation path extending between any one of said emitters and one of said sensors may be detected.
Brief Description of Drawings Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram showing an arrangement of emitters and sensors disposed, according to the invention, on adjacent cooper¬ ating elevator doors.
Fig. 2 shows the arrangement of Fig. 1 as the doors approach each other.
Figs. 3, 4 and 5 show other arrangements of sensors and emitters according to the invention.
O ?I
Best Mode for Carrying Out the Invention
In Figs. 1 and 2 there is a first elevator door 10 and a second elevator door 20. These doors, shown in an open position in Fig. 1, slide to open and close, and, as they close, the closure edge 11 of door 10 touches the closure edge 21 of door 20. A plurality of elements, made up of emitters 12 and 22 and sensors 13 and 23, define a first "array" and a second "array" on the closure edges 11, 21.
The first array is comprised of the emitters 12 that are spaced apart from each other along the edge 11 and the sensors 13 that are at the top and bottom of the edge 11. The second array, on the adjacent closure edge 21 Con door 20) is comprised of the remaining emitters 22 and sensors 23, which are on the edge 21.
The emitters may be light bulbs, LED devices or any radiation emitting device; for example, an infrared emitter that is modulated, so that its emitted radiation is distinguishable from background radiation of the surroundings.
Likewise, the sensors may be any device that is sensitive to the radiation of the emitters; yet, adapted to be insensitive to radiation other than from the emitters. Thus, the sensors may be photo- diodes, phototransistors or the like, and these may be gated in synchronization with a modulated emitter for improved sensitivity. The radiation from the emitters is not colli- ated, unlike related prior techniques that use lights and detectors in matched pairs, where
collimation is required for good sensitivity. Conse¬ quently, each sensor actually receives radiation in a plurality of paths, each extending between the sensor and one of the emitters, as Fig. 1 shows. 5 In Figs. 1 and 2, the plurality of radiation paths that extend between emitters and sensors are shown; each path is distinguished there by an alphabetic index that is indicative of the sensor, and a numeral that is indicative of the emitter at 0 the ends of the path. From Fig. 2 it is apparent that these paths criss-cross, defining a network in space, the gap between the door closure edges 11 and 21, and that the space between these paths is smaller than in the prior art devices. 5 A circuit is provided whereby each emitter is energized to emit radiation in a first sequence, and each sensor is monitored in a second sequence so that one emitter is energized and one sensor is monitored, at any time. For example, each of the emitters 12 is 0 energized in sequence while one of sensors 23 is monitored; then each of emitters 22 is energized sequentially while one of sensors 13 is monitored. After that, each of emitters 12 are again sequentially energized while the other (the second of the sensors 5 23) is monitored. Then the emitters of sensors 22 are again sequentially energized while the other (the second sensor 13) is monitored. The exact sequence is not important, although, in a preferred, basic operation, each emitter and a sensor cσmbina- 0 tion that define a radiation path therebetween is respectively energized and monitored repetitively many times per second in some sequence.
Each path is thus monitored for obstruction once in an overall sequence, and, because the sensor does not receive radiation from other emitters and no other emitter is activated, the sensor is highly sensitive to the obstruction. For maximum sensitivity, the sensitivity of the sensors may be adjusted in synchronization with the energization of the emitters, since each path involves a unique combination of sensor and emitter. For example, the gain of an amplifier receiving a signal from sensor 13 may be higher when one emitter 22 is activating path C7 than when another emitter 22 is activating path Aβ.
With reference to Fig.' 2, it shows the embodiment of Fig. 1, but when the doors are in a more nearly closed position, it will be seen there that the flux density in space of the radiation paths increases as the doors approach each other.
In its simplest form, the invention includes embodiments such as those shown in Figs. 3, 4 and 5. Yet, those skilled in the art will recognize that be¬ cause emitters are available at low cost in comparison with sensors, there are many possible geometric arrangements within the scope of the invention.
It is desirable, to produce a signal, that only one combination of sensor and emitter are active at any time; but, a combination of sensors and emitters may also be selected for simultaneous activity. For example, at the same time that an emitter on one edge and a sensor on the other edge are operative, a sensor on that one edge and an emitter on that other edge may be operative.
The circuits required to construct embodiments according to the invention may use multiplex tech¬ niques which are apparent to those skilled in the art from the foregoing. Also, embodiments of the invention may be utilized in a somewhat different application, not to monitor the doorway entrance to an elevator, but as a security device to monitor an area; for example, to sense when someone is in a dangerous position with relation to a machine, or to sense the movement of people on and off properly, or, for that matter, to sense the presence of an object in any predetermined space.
Other modifications to the embodiment of the invention that have been described will be obvious to those skilled in the art, yet within the scope of the invention.
