Description
Summary:Fault tree analysis is often used in elevator fault diagnosis because of its simplicity and reliability. However, the traditional fault tree method has the problems of low efficiency due to ignoring location change of bottom events during troubleshooting. This paper proposes a rapid diagnosis method based on multiattribute decision making to solve the problem. The fault tree of the elevator system is constructed based on expert knowledge and multisource data, and the location-related matrix is constructed according to the complex vertical structure of the elevator. Then, the attributes of bottom events such as the failure probability, search cost, location time cost, and location-related attributes are comprehensively analyzed in this paper. Finally, the TOPSIS method for dynamic attributes is used based on the work above to achieve the optimal troubleshooting sequence of elevator vibration fault. The results show that the proposed method is more efficient when compared to the optimal troubleshooting sequence obtained by the traditional method.
