Dealing with Weight Measurement Problems in Elevator Applications

Abstract

The Elevators are found in many areas of our lives. Elevators hold a special place in high-rise buildings, especially as vehicles for transporting people and cargo. Depending on the need, it's possible to find more than one type of elevator in the same building. Freight elevators and passenger elevators can vary in type depending on their speed and carrying capacity. However, one of the most important parameters in all applications is the load capacity of the elevator. Measuring the weight carried by an elevator is difficult due to factors such as its motion and exposure to vibration. This study addresses these weight measurement challenges and explores the fundamentals of designing a sensor resistant to these challenges. Applications are specifically targeted at vertically moving elevators. Accurately determining whether an elevator is empty, fully loaded, or overloaded is crucial for both the health of elevator traffic and its operational safety. Accurately measuring this parameter will prevent time, energy, and economic losses, thus extending the elevator's effective service life. In this study, gauss-based sensor is examined as weigh monitoring and evaluation to manage the elevator control.
