The invention relates to a characteristic-
signal-based
elevator safety checking device and an
elevator safety checking method. The
elevator safety checking device comprises a
signal detection unit, a
data acquisition unit and a
microprocessor, which are connected in turn, wherein the
signal detection unit is used for detecting the vibration information and
noise information of the elevator; the
data acquisition unit is used for acquiring a signal from the signal detection unit; the
microprocessor is used for extracting the characteristic signals of the vibration information and the
noise information under different working conditions of the elevator and
processing the signals; and the signal detection unit is arranged on an elevator
tractor unit. The device is widely applied, and can effectively give a fault alarm or early warning for elevators of different specifications and from different manufacturers. According to the elevator safety checking method based on the device, the characteristics of the vibration signal are extracted by using
wavelet transform, the set working conditions of the elevator can be identified, an expert policy knowledge
library can be built, consequently the functions of noncontact remote monitoring, fault diagnosis and the like can be realized, and the safety of the elevator can be improved.
