DOOR CONTROLLER AND DOOR CONTROL SYSTEM FOR CONTROLLING MOVEMENTS OF AT LEAST ONE DOOR LEAF OF AN ELEVATOR DOOR
A door control system with a door controller controls shift movements of at least one door leaf of an elevator door. The door controller is configured as a slave controller to implement master instructions from an elevator controller, acting as a master controller, by actuating a door drive. The door controller is also configured to autonomously reverse a previous door leaf movement, preferably by a specified distance, when a collision of the at least one door leaf with an obstacle is detected, by appropriately actuating the door drive. In this way, even in the event of a malfunction of the elevator controller or if an elevator installation is operated in a fire mode or maintenance mode, it can be ensured that no obstacles or people are trapped in the elevator door.
ELEVATOR DOOR WITH SENSOR FOR DETERMINING WHETHER TO REOPEN DOOR
Disclosed is a system for an elevator door of an elevator car, wherein a controller controls the elevator door to travel in a proximate direction when closing and travel in a distal direction when opening, the system including: a panel that forms an exterior surface of an elevator door, the panel including a front surface extending in a widthwise direction between a proximate end and an opposing distal end to form a front surface of the elevator door, the panel including a proximate end surface extending in a depthwise direction to form a proximate end surface of the elevator door, the proximate end surface of the panel comprising a resilient portion that is capable of engaging a sensor in the panel when the elevator door is closing, and thereafter the controller instructs the elevator door to reopen.

Measurement and diagnostic of elevator door performance using sound and video
A component monitoring system for monitoring a component of a conveyance system including a conveyance apparatus including: a camera configured to capture a sequence images of the component, the sequence of images being motion data; and a processor configured to determine an evaluation summary of the component in response to at least the motion data.

SENSOR DEVICE FOR DOOR CONTROL
Sensor device for an elevator comprising a car comprising an elevator door, which has a door movement space in the passage and disposed in front of which is a spatial region in front on the floor in front of the door movement space, comprising a detection device, configured for separately detecting objects in the door movement space and in the spatial region in front and for carrying out successive detection passes, and comprising an evaluation device, wherein the evaluation device has a memory and is configured to store in the memory at least temporarily the information as to whether an object has been detected during a detection pass, and to output an early closing signal for closing the elevator doors if no object has been detected during a detection pass and the information that an object has been detected has been stored in the memory for a preceding detection pass, in particular for a specific preceding detection pass, in particular for the directly preceding detection pass.

Door-pinch detection device and elevator door device
An object of the present application is to obtain a door-pinch detection device and an elevator door device that enable detection of a string-shaped object. Accordingly, the elevator door device of the present application includes: a door panel of an elevator; and a first attachment section and a second attachment section installed on at least either one of a front face or a back face of the door panel, the first attachment section including a pressure sensor, the second attachment section including a repulsive member installed in a manner for the pressure sensor to be housed therein when doors of the elevator are closed, thus enabling adjustment of an angle of the pressure sensor relative to the door panel. Therefore, door-pinch of an alien object can be detected with an improved accuracy.
