  • Patent number: 11536741
    Abstract: A method for determining the tension of a drive belt, wherein the drive belt is provided for transmission of a torque generated by a drive unit to a load, for example, a door leaf of a door system includes a first process step a., the load is moved from a moving state into a rest state. In a following process step b., the motor voltage is recorded during execution of process step a. and the time-resolved motor voltage curve is prepared. In step c., the motor current is determined from the recorded motor voltage or the motor voltage curve and a time-resolved motor current curve is prepared. In a last step d., the time-resolved motor current curve is evaluated and the tension of the drive belt is determined by means of selected curve features of the motor current curve.

  • Publication number: 20210270074
    Abstract: A method for state-based maintenance of an access device of a vehicle, in particular of a public transport vehicle, wherein the access device includes a moveable element and an electric drive for moving the moveable element and is attached to the vehicle. The drive is controlled with control signals, wherein actual state signals for describing the state are generated based on a detected state of the access device. The control signals are applied to a physical simulation model for computationally simulating the access device and determining expected target state signals and wherein based on a comparison between the actual state signals and associated target state signals, a maintenance state of the access device is determined. The simulation model is adjusted based on the comparison between the actual state signals and the associated target state signals.
