The invention relates to a safety protection device of an elevator, in particular to the mechanical stopping device of the elevator and a reset assembly thereof. The mechanical stopping device of theelevator comprises a fixing base, a supporting rod connected onto the fixing base in a hinged mode and the reset assembly arranged on the side, close to a landing door, of the supporting rod, whereinthe reset assembly comprises a switch support installed in a well and a reset rod detachably installed on the switch support, the reset rod comprises an operating part used for driving the supportingrod to rotate to a stopping state and an insertion piece used for being matched with the switch support in an inserted mode, and the insertion piece and the switch support form a reset safety switch.When the device and the reset assembly are in use, the reset rod is taken off, the reset safety switch is disconnected, the supporting rod is driven to the stopping state through the operating part, and a safety protection switch is disconnected, so that a maintenance state is entered; when maintenance is completed, the supporting rod is put away, the safety protection switch is closed, the resetrod is put back into the switch support, and an elevator safety circuit is connected; operation is convenient, and the safety factor is high; the structure is simple, the production cost is low, and space is saved.
