  • Patent number: 11046553
    Abstract: An elevator automatic rescue and energy-saving control method, the method comprising: when the power grid supplies power normally, selecting a single current in a three-phase power grid (9) as an AC power supply for an elevator control system (10); controlling a DC-DC converter (2) to charge the super capacitor module (1) connected to the DC-DC converter to a specified standby electric energy level; and when the power grid is suddenly interrupted, selecting to use the electric energy stored in the super capacitor module (1) as a rescue electric energy for a traction motor (7) and the elevator control system (10). The described method uses a super capacitor module, so that a stable and reliable elevator rescue power supply is provided when the power grid is suddenly interrupted, and the regenerative electric energy dissipated during elevator braking operation is stored and utilized during elevator operation, thereby conserving energy.

  • Patent number: 8305733
    Abstract: A super-capacitor electrode is provided, which comprises a metal foil as a current collector, an active material, a conductive agent, and an organic adhesive agent. The metal foil is an uncorroded smooth metal foil. The super-capacitor electrode further comprises a silane coupling agent for binding the organic adhesive agent and the uncorroded smooth metal foil, so that the active material is adhered to the uncorroded smooth metal foil. In comparison with a case that only organic adhesive agent is used in a super-capacitor electrode, since the silane coupling agent is used in the super-capacitor electrode of the present invention to bind the organic adhesive agent and the uncorroded smooth metal foil, the binding strength of the active material on the uncorroded smooth metal foil is improved without increasing the amount of the agent used for adhering, so that the super-capacitor electrode of the present invention attains perfect overall performance.
