Design & Implementation of an Electronics Elevator Model

Abstract

Due to the development in the construction of buildings and the trend towards vertical buildings that require few construction spaces, especially in crowded and densely populated cities, the need has arisen to establish electric elevators to move furniture and people, especially to high floors, to reduce effort and tim Electric elevators of all kinds share basic components, including motors, control panels, and the trolley carrying the load. Accordingly, the study of electric elevators has become one of the topics that must be recognized in electrical and electronic engineering departments, in terms of their basic components, method of operation, and maintenance. In this research paper, the design and construction of an electric elevator model were addressed to explain to the students, it consisted of a carrier car, a set of weights, and a step motor, and it was controlled by an Arduino board-type Mega and a seven-segment display to view the role numbers and a set of end-stroke switches to stop the elevator in the limited floor.The model was built in the form of a vertical building consisting of three floors using wood, and the main objective of this model is to clarify the work of the electric elevator and how it moves between the floors.
