Detailed Description

In the following description, numerous technical details are set forth in order to provide a better understanding of the present application. However, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that the technical solutions claimed in the present application may be implemented without these technical details and with various changes and modifications based on the following embodiments.

To make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present application more clear, embodiments of the present application will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

In one embodiment of the present application, an inter-call communication system is disclosed, and a schematic diagram of an inter-call communication system is shown in FIG. 1. The inter-call communication system includes a control center 110 and a number of call control units 120. The plurality of call control units 120 are connected with the control center 110 in a daisy chain structure, and the control center 110 is used for controlling the operation of the elevator and interacting call signals with the call control units 120.

Referring to fig. 2, each call control unit comprises a main control chip 201, a first physical layer (PHY-a) 203, a second physical layer (PHY-B) 204, a first network isolation transformer 205, a second network isolation transformer 206 and a display module 209. The main control chip 201 includes a medium access control layer 202. The medium access control layer 202 is connected to the first physical layer 203 and the second physical layer 204, respectively. The first network isolation transformer 205 is connected to the first physical layer 203 and to the primary call control unit via a first RJ-45 jack 207, and the second network isolation transformer 206 is connected to the second physical layer 204 and to the secondary call control unit via a second RJ-45 jack 208. For example, the first physical layer PHY-A of an N-level call control is connected to an upper level (N-1) call control, and the second physical layer PHY-B of an N-level call control is connected to a lower level (N + 1) call control.

The display module 209 is connected to the main control chip 201, and has a first group of display lamps 210 for displaying the communication status between the current call control unit and the previous call control unit, and a second group of display lamps 211 for displaying the communication status between the current call control unit and the next call control unit.

In one embodiment, each of the call control elements further comprises: the key assembly comprises an uplink key 212 and a downlink key 213, wherein the uplink key 212 and the downlink key 213 are respectively connected with the main control chip 201.

In one embodiment, the first and second sets of display lights 210 and 211 each include a green light indicating normal communication and a red light indicating abnormal communication.

In one embodiment, each of the call control units further comprises a power supply unit 214 connecting the first network isolation transformer 205 and the second network isolation transformer 206. The network isolation transformer has two purposes in this application: the communication signal is isolated from the transformer of the POE power supply. On one hand, the network isolation transformer filters the differential signal sent by the physical layer by using the coil coupling of the differential mode coupling to enhance the signal, and the differential signal is coupled to the other end of the connecting network wire with different levels by the conversion of an electromagnetic field. On the other hand, different levels between different network devices connected by the network cable are isolated to prevent different voltages from transmitting through the network cable to damage the devices. In addition, the lightning protection device can also play a certain lightning protection role on equipment. The signal of this application adopts magnetism to keep apart, can reduce and call for a call damage probability.

In one embodiment of the application, a communication control method of an inter-call communication system is disclosed, and fig. 3 shows a flow chart of the communication control method. The method comprises the following steps:

step 301, initializing the network configuration of the inter-call communication system, and starting a first physical layer and closing a second physical layer by default in a plurality of call control units.

In one embodiment, initializing the network configuration of the inter-call communication system includes: and closing the auto-negotiation mode of the first physical layer and the second physical layer, and defaulting that the first physical layer and the second physical layer adopt a 100M Ethernet rate and a full duplex mode.

Step 302, one of the plurality of call control units receives an enumeration data frame sent by a superior call control unit through a first physical layer, and responds to a reply to the superior call control unit according to the enumeration data frame, and the call control unit closes the first physical layer and opens a second physical layer.

In one embodiment, the enumerated data frame includes a floor number value.

Step 303, the call control unit updates the enumeration data frame and sends the updated enumeration data frame to the next call control unit, and the next call control unit receives the updated enumeration data frame through the first physical layer.

In one embodiment, the step of the call control element updating the enumeration data frame comprises: adding 1 to a floor number value included in the enumeration data frame. It should be noted that the next-level call control means is on-floor of the present-level call control means, and therefore, the floor number value corresponding to the next-level call control means is the floor number value corresponding to the present-level call control means plus 1.

Step 304, the call control unit closes the second physical layer and activates the first physical layer.

In one embodiment, as shown with reference to fig. 4, the method of communication control for an inter-call communication system further comprises:

step 401, one of the plurality of call control units receives a heartbeat data frame sent by a previous call control unit through a first physical layer, responds to the previous call control unit according to the heartbeat data frame, closes the first physical layer and opens a second physical layer, wherein the heartbeat data frame comprises the running or maintenance state of the elevator, the uplink and downlink requests of each call control unit and the uplink and downlink state of the elevator.

Step 402, the call control unit sends a heartbeat data frame to a next call control unit, and the next call control unit receives the heartbeat data frame through a first physical layer.

In step 403, the call control unit closes the second physical layer and activates the first physical layer.

In one embodiment, as shown with reference to fig. 5, the method of communication control for an inter-call communication system further comprises:

step 501, one of the plurality of call control units receives a heartbeat data frame sent by a next call control unit through a second physical layer, if the call control unit has an uplink and downlink request, the uplink and downlink request is inserted into the heartbeat data frame, and the call control unit closes the second physical layer and opens the first physical layer.

Step 502, the call control unit replies the updated heartbeat data frame to the previous call control unit through the first physical layer; if there are no uplink and downlink requests in the call control unit.

It should be noted that, during the transmission process of the heartbeat data frame, when the heartbeat data frame is sent from N-1 level to N level (for example, from layer 2 to layer 3), the heartbeat data frame is not updated, and the original text transfers the original data of the control center. When the heartbeat data frame is responded from N level to N-1 level (such as layer 3 to layer 2), the heartbeat data frame is updated, and if the current level has an uplink request and a downlink request, the request information of the level is inserted into the heartbeat data frame (namely, the current level is replied to the layer 2 after the uplink request data of the layer 3 is added into the data packet of the layer 4). And if the current level has no uplink and downlink requests, transmitting the data frame to the N-1 level original text (namely forwarding a reply data frame of the 4 th layer to the 2 nd layer original text).

It should be noted that for ease of understanding, "send" is the transfer of data from level N-1 to level N, and "answer" is the transfer of data from level N +1 to level N.

In order to better understand the technical solution of the present application, a specific example is described below, and the details listed in the example are mainly for the convenience of understanding and are not intended to limit the protection scope of the present application.

As shown in fig. 1 and 2, an ethernet inter-call communication system includes an elevator control center and a number of elevator call units (i.e., call control units), e.g., call units N, N-1, N + 1. The elevator control center is mainly responsible for elevator operation control and call signal interaction, and an Ethernet interface of the elevator control center provides a POE power supply function and is connected with a first elevator call unit (N-1) through an Ethernet cable.

The structures of all elevator calling units are consistent, and the functions of self-adaptive numbering of floors, passenger uplink and downlink key request and polling are realized in an internal software mode. The calling unit comprises PHY-A, PHY-B, a network isolation transformer, RJ-45, a key module, a power supply unit display module and a main control chip.

The display module is used for displaying the state of the elevator and comprises two groups of state display lamps. When the detection is normal with the communication of the upper level and the lower level, the corresponding green light is on, otherwise, the red light is on, so that the elevator is very convenient to overhaul, and the fault position can be judged by observing the calling elevator state light.

The key module may include two keys (up and down) for elevator passengers to perform up and down demand control. The buttons (up, down) are the basic functions of elevator calls, the main body of the passenger interacting with the elevator system.

RJ-45 is a twisted pair Ethernet port, which mainly uses twisted pair as transmission medium.

The network filter transformer (also called network isolation transformer) is mainly used for signal level coupling, and can improve transmission distance and reduce external interference.

PHY-a and PHY-B are used to transmit and receive data frames of ethernet with link layer Auto Negotiation and Auto-MDIX transceiver matching functions.

The power supply unit transforms the POE power transmitted by the Ethernet cable to provide proper power supply voltage for the interior of the Ethernet call unit.

The main control chip is provided with a chip with an Ethernet MAC function and can control PHY switching and data processing transmission flow.

The display module may display the floor and other network information such as weather, service provider advertising information, etc.

A call control board module is installed on each floor, and the software flow schematic diagram of the call system is shown in FIG. 6 and comprises the following steps:

1. Ethernet MAC parameters are initialized, such as full duplex/half duplex mode, 10M/100M rate configuration.

2. PHY-A is enabled by default and PHY-B is disabled. PHY-B may be controlled by software not to be turned on at the same time as PHY-a.

3. And in an idle state, waiting for the data issued by the control center of the N-1 call control board or the machine room elevator system, wherein the issued data can be a floor query command or a heartbeat command of the control center.

4. After receiving the effective ethernet frame data, a response reply is performed according to the instruction, for example, after a floor enumeration instruction, 1 is added after the floor number N-1, which indicates that the floor is the nth floor.

5. After the data of the response N-1 is sent, an N +1 data frame is ready to be sent, and the issued data comprises information such as a command (enumeration or heartbeat instruction), the number of the floor, the operation of the elevator and the like.

6. PHY-A is turned off, PHY-B is turned on, and Ethernet communication with the N +1 call control board is established.

7. And after the communication link is stable, sending the prepared data to be sent in the step 5.

8. After the response data of the N-1 are received, storing key data, such as information of a floor number, a request for going upstairs and downstairs and the like, as temporary storage data to wait for uploading information next time.

9. Immediately shut down PHY-B, start PHY-a, enter idle state, repeat 3.

The data transmitted by the Ethernet comprises enumeration data frames and heartbeat data frames, wherein the enumeration data frames are mainly used for floor enumeration, after an enumeration command is received, the number value of the N-1 floor is received and is +1, and after a physical layer is switched, the number value of the current floor is continuously forwarded to N +1, so that automatic floor enumeration and self-adaption of the number of floors are realized. Enumeration data frames occur during which the host needs to enumerate floors, the intervals during enumeration being in the order of minutes, during which no heartbeat data frames are sent. The heartbeat data frame is mainly used as a quasi-synchronous mode to quickly transmit the information of the floor call button.

The transmission interval for each time the control center transmits a data frame (whether an enumeration or heartbeat data frame) is very short, typically on the order of milliseconds, requiring a fast response to be achieved.

The sending process of the enumeration data frame comprises the following steps:

step 1: when the current calling unit monitors the enumeration data frame sent by the previous calling unit through PHY-A, the current calling unit receives the floor number +1 of the previous enumeration data frame and replies the current processing floor number to the previous calling unit, and at the moment, the full-duplex transceiving communication with the previous calling unit is completed.

Step 2: the current calling unit is then switched to the physical layer PHY-B, and at the moment, the current calling unit is communicated with the next calling unit, the current calling unit firstly sends an enumeration data frame containing the floor value of the current calling unit,

And step 3: similarly, the next call unit will reply to the data frame of floor value +1, the floor value of the next level (when the next enumeration data frame of the previous level is received, the current floor value stored in the previous level will be replied), if the next enumeration data frame is not received, the last layer of enumeration is considered.

And 4, step 4: and the current calling unit is switched back to the physical layer PHY-A, and the monitoring of the previous level is continued.

In the process of enumerating floors, the control center can know the total number of floors according to the number of times of sending enumeration data frames as required.

The heartbeat data frame maintains the daily communication of the calls, because the next-level call unit sends a data frame to the previous level from the next-level call unit (because the previous-level PHYB is not opened, except for the host), the heartbeat data frame is a bridge for maintaining the communication between the previous-level call and the next-level call, the switching steps of the heartbeat data frame and the physical layer of the enumeration data frame are basically the same, and the main difference is in the data content:

(1) the data content sent (or forwarded) from the previous stage to the next stage includes: the current elevator running or maintenance state, the elevator up-down state and the like;

(2) the data content sent (or forwarded) from the next stage to the previous stage includes: floor value + uplink and downlink requests.
