IoT-based improved mechanical design for elevator cart

In order to solve the problems of temperature control, inconvenient user interface, cellular reception, simultaneous usage and frequency calculation, easy faulty parts recognition, this paper proposes a novel IoT-based system that uses the principles of mechanical advantage to increase payload, save power and sense the presence of people inside the elevator cart. this paper proposes a novel IOT-based system. The model utilized in the modern elevator system is a simple pulley-counterweight system. Although this system is reliable and accepted worldwide, it doesn't perform well in terms of reducing the power consumption by the motor and/or by the internal components of the cart and the strain on the motor and lacks proper temperature controls all together. In this chapter, temperature and humidity control, improved cellular reception and a multi-pulley system to take more advantage of the existing motor and increase payload are proposed, with the whole system connected to the cloud to enable data collection and monitoring to detect faulty parts. E-controls are an added convenience. The IoT functionality of this system was tested on a smaller scale using a prototype model and CAD simulations.
