Abstract

Purpose

Due to the influence of uneven guide rail, rope swing and unbalanced shaft wind pressure, the high-speed elevator car may experience violent horizontal vibration, which seriously affects the comfort and safety of elevator passengers. Hence, it is vital to suppress horizontal vibration for high-speed elevator car (HSEC).

Methods

This paper proposes a horizontal vibration active control method for high-speed elevators via acceleration feedback. First, based on passive vibration reduction, the active control is used to establish a four-degree of freedom (4-DOF) horizontal vibration model for elevator car. Then, we design an acceleration feedback-based controller for horizontal vibration response induced by guide rail excitation. The control objective functions in the multi-objective genetic algorithm are the system performance and control cost. The Pareto optimal solution set of the optimal controller parameters can be obtained only through one optimization calculation.

Results

We use the comprehensive control simulation analysis through MATLAB/Simulink to validate the vibration suppression effect for the proposed active control strategy. For the system performance, by comparing the time domain responses of no controller and using controllers C1/C2/C3, the horizontal vibration acceleration is reduced to a certain extent. The offset of the high-speed elevator car high-speed elevator car frame relative to the center of the hoistway and relative displacements between the HSEC and the HSEC frame are also reduced in a certain proportion. The control cost is employed to evaluate the control force and represents the energy consumption to a certain extent. Combining system performance and control costs, we choose C2 among the 3 sets of controller parameters, the horizontal vibration acceleration of the HSEC can be reduced by about 80%, while the power consumption is between C2 and C3.

Conclusions

The proposed optimal controller could effectively suppress elevator car horizontal vibration and significantly improve comfort while reducing the controller’s power consumption.
