Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of staircase renovation in existing residential buildings, and in particular to a novel flat-level access device for adding elevators to old buildings with curved sliding door systems. Background Technology
[0002] Since 2018, the Chinese government has encouraged the installation of elevators in older buildings. Local governments across the country have successively introduced subsidy policies for elevator installation. However, by the end of 2024, only 130,000 elevators had been installed in older buildings in my country. Among these 130,000 installed elevators, there are two main access methods: The first is the stair-level access method, where the elevator doors are installed at the stair landing. Users need to walk up or down half a flight of stairs to get home, which does not allow for barrier-free access. Furthermore, the doorway installation requires damaging the ring beams of the older building, affecting the building's structural safety. This method is gradually decreasing. The second is the level-level access method, where the elevator doors are installed at the same level as the floor level, connecting the elevator shaft to the older building. Users can use the elevator through the connecting corridor or platform for barrier-free access. This method does not damage the ring beams of the older building and does not affect the building's structural safety, achieving barrier-free access. It is currently the main method for installing elevators in older buildings in China. There are two main types of level-entry access methods: non-entrance-door level-entry and entrance-door level-entry. Non-entrance-door level-entry involves the elevator shaft connecting to the balcony, living room, and bedrooms of the old building via a connecting corridor, providing barrier-free access. Entrance-door level-entry involves the elevator shaft connecting to the wall above the unit entrance of the old building via a connecting corridor, while replacing the old building's concrete "folded staircase" with a steel structure "straight staircase," allowing users to enter their homes barrier-free via the connecting platform of the corridor and the steel structure staircase. While these two methods enable barrier-free access when adding elevators to old buildings, they still have technical drawbacks, such as the need for connecting corridors, resulting in large elevator footprints, reduced ventilation and lighting, fewer parking spaces, and high engineering costs. Utility Model Content

[0014] This utility model provides a novel level-entry device for adding elevators to old buildings with curved sliding doors. This novel level-entry method for adding elevators to old buildings is a level-entry method for the entrance door. It mainly achieves level-entry without the need for a connecting corridor by using the patent for "adding elevators to old buildings with curved sliding doors" in another case. Compared with the prior art, it has the advantages of small size and small footprint, no impact on ventilation, no impact on lighting, no reduction in parking spaces, small amount of engineering work, and low cost. It is a perfect solution for adding elevators to old buildings in China.
[0015] The curved sliding door type elevator for retrofitting old buildings provided by this utility model has the following advantages:
[0016] 1) This utility model changes the traditional left-right straight-opening door of the elevator to a curved sliding door, which greatly reduces the size of the elevator. The minimum width of the elevator can be about 1.26 meters. There is no need to set up a corridor bridge. It can be directly installed at the stairwell, outside the building entrance. In the existing multi-story (4-7 stories) residential buildings in old communities, the width of the stairwell is generally 2.3 meters to 2.7 meters. Then the width of the unit door or stairwell is also 2.3 meters to 2.7 meters. The elevator shaft width is 1.26 meters. Then the width of the unit door or stairwell is 2.2 meters to 2.7 meters. Subtracting the elevator shaft width of 1.26 meters, the remaining width is 1.04 to 1.44 meters, which can meet the requirement that the safety passage is not less than 1.0 meter and can ensure the needs of residents' normal life. The elevator shaft is 1.26 meters wide, and it must accommodate one wheelchair for barrier-free access. These two dimensions severely limit the elevator's structure, making it impossible to achieve with current domestic elevator technology. Only the curved sliding door elevator technology described in this utility model can achieve this. This utility model's curved sliding door elevator for adding elevators to old buildings achieves a small size, minimal footprint, and does not affect the ventilation, passage, lighting, privacy, fire truck access, or parking spaces of lower-floor residents (opposition from lower-floor residents to elevator installation in upper-floor units is the biggest obstacle to elevator installation in old buildings in China). It also boasts a short construction period and convenient construction.
[0017] 2) The elevator of this utility model, with an elevator shaft occupying a width of 1.26 meters and a steel pit occupying a width of 1.28 meters, can be installed at the unit door or stairwell without moving the underground pipeline network (moving the underground pipeline network is the second most difficult part of installing elevators in old buildings in China). If the underground pipeline network is on the right, the elevator can be installed on the left; if the underground pipeline network is on the left, the elevator can be installed on the right. Traditional elevator shaft pit foundations occupy an area of at least 3.0 meters long and 3.0 meters wide, making it difficult to avoid underground pipeline networks, requiring the relocation of the underground pipeline network, increasing coordination and pricing costs.
[0018] 3) The curved sliding door type elevator for old buildings provided by this utility model can be manufactured in the factory and assembled on site. The elevator installation project for old buildings can be completed in fifteen days. Attached Figure Description

[0057] The overall scheme of this utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:
[0058] See Figure 1The structure of this utility model includes a curved sliding door type elevator installation device for old buildings and a level entrance device 15. The curved sliding door type elevator installation device for old buildings includes a landing door. The level entrance device 15 includes a handrail 1501, an entrance door 1502, an entrance door landing platform 1503, a connecting platform 1504, a stair flight 1505, and a landing platform 1506. The entrance door 1502 is located on the entrance door landing platform 1503. The landing door is located outside the landing platform 1506. The entrance door landing platform 1503 is connected to the landing platform 1506 through the connecting platform 1504, forming a flat passage for wheelchair access and achieving barrier-free access. The landing door faces this flat passage. The stair flight 1505... 05 is located on the side of the connecting platform 1504. The inner side of the entrance platform 1503 of the next floor is connected to the inner side of the landing platform 1506 of the previous floor through the stair section 1505. Both the stair section 1505 and the connecting platform 1504 are equipped with handrails 1501 on the side facing away from the wall. In actual scenarios, this elevator can be installed on the left side of the outer wall of the unit door opening as needed. In this case, the landing door is on the left, the connecting platform 1504 and the landing platform 1506 are set on the left, and the stair section 1505 is on the right. If this elevator is installed on the right side of the outer wall of the unit door opening, the landing door is on the right, the connecting platform 1504 and the landing platform 1506 are set on the right, and the stair section 1505 is on the left.
[0059] When installing a new level-entry elevator system in an old building, the landing door is installed by chiseling a doorway in the wall above the unit entrance. The entrance door 1502 and the entrance door landing platform 1503 remain unchanged. The old building's concrete "folded staircase" railings, handrails, landings, and stair flights are all cut off and replaced with steel structure "straight staircase" railings 1501, connecting platform 1504, stair flights 1505, and landing platform 1506. This achieves a level-entry method with barrier-free access. In actual construction, the elevator is installed first, and then the concrete "folded staircase" is cut off layer by layer from top to bottom or bottom to top and replaced with the steel structure "straight staircase," allowing users to use both the staircase and the elevator for convenient travel.
[0060] See Figure 2The curved sliding door type elevator for old buildings of this utility model is a new type of elevator that uses a traction machine as the driving method. Its specific embodiment includes a steel pit 1, a combined shaft 2, a shaft section 3, a traction machine room 4, a shaft cap 5, a car guide rail, a curved sliding door 7, a curved sliding door type car 8, a landing door, a traction machine 10, a counterweight 11, a steel wire rope 12, a buffer 13, and a control cabinet 14. The combined hoistway 2 is located inside the steel pit 1, and the traction machine room 4 is located on top of the combined hoistway 2. The combined hoistway 2 is composed of multiple hoistway sections 3 vertically combined together. There are two car guide rails, which are vertically fixed to the inner walls on both sides of the combined hoistway 2. The car guide rails are responsible for guiding the car vertically. The curved sliding door car 8 is located inside the combined hoistway 2, between the two car guide rails. The landing door is a curved sliding door landing door 9, which is located on the floor in front of the curved sliding door car 8. The traction machine 10 is located inside the traction machine room 4 and is responsible for traction of the curved sliding door car 8 through the steel wire rope 12. The hoistway cap 5 is located on top of the traction machine room 4. The counterweight 11 is installed on the inner wall of the combined hoistway 2 opposite the landing door opening. It includes a counterweight frame, counterweight guide rails, counterweight guide shoes, counterweight wheels, and counterweight blocks. There are two counterweight guide rails, one on the left and one on the right, fixed symmetrically to the inner wall of the combined hoistway 2 on the side directly opposite the landing door. Symmetrical counterweight guide shoes are installed at the top and bottom of the counterweight frame, respectively. The counterweight guide shoes act as a guide for the counterweight frame to move vertically on the counterweight guide rails. The counterweight 11 is fixed to the two counterweight guide rails by four symmetrical guide shoes and runs vertically. A counterweight anti-roll rope pulley is installed at the top of the counterweight frame, and the counterweight blocks are installed inside the counterweight frame. The function of the counterweight 11 is to balance the weight of the car: by configuring counterweight blocks that match the weight of the car (including rated load), the load on the traction machine 10 during operation is reduced, thus lowering energy consumption. The buffer 13 includes a car buffer and a counterweight buffer. Two car buffers are installed symmetrically on the bottom plate of the steel pit 1, aligned with the left and right car guide rails. Two counterweight buffers are also installed symmetrically on the bottom plate of the steel pit 1, aligned with the left and right counterweight guide rails. The function of buffer 13 is to reduce the impact force on the counterweight 11 when it hits the ground due to car overshoot (car exceeding its high limit position), wire rope 12 derailment, or wire breakage, thereby reducing injury to passengers and equipment. The elevator's wire ropes 12 are generally at least three in parallel. One end is set on the crossbeam of the traction machine room 4, first winding around the car deflector, then around the traction sheave (the wire rope sheave on the traction machine), and finally around the counterweight deflector. The other end of the wire rope 12 is also set on the crossbeam of the traction machine room 4. The control cabinet 14 is installed on the wall near the top floor door and connected to the traction machine 10, used to control the lifting and lowering of the curved sliding door car 8. Car foot guards are installed below the door sill of the curved sliding door car.

This drives the left and right door panels 701 of the curved sliding door to move left and right to realize the opening and closing of the door.
[0064] See Figure 5The specific embodiment of the curved sliding door 7 of this utility model includes left and right door panels 701, an upper curved slide rail 702, a lower curved slide rail 703, door panel profiles 704, an upper pulley assembly 705, and a lower pulley assembly 706. The upper curved slide rail 702 and the lower curved slide rail 703 are formed by bending aluminum alloy profiles with a C-shaped cross-section. The upper curved slide rail 702 is located below the top front side of the car frame 801, and the lower curved slide rail 703 is located above the bottom front side of the car frame 801. The door panel 701 is made of multiple aluminum alloy door panel profiles 704 processed by mechanical processing. The door panels 701 are connected by pivot pins. Each door panel profile 704 is equipped with an upper pulley assembly 705 at the upper end and a lower pulley assembly 706 at the lower end. The upper pulley assembly 705 is connected to the upper curved slide rail 702, and the lower pulley assembly 706 is connected to the lower curved slide rail 703. The curved sliding door 7 achieves straight and curved horizontal sliding on the upper curved slide rail 702 and the lower curved slide rail 703 through the upper pulley assembly 705 and the lower pulley assembly 706 at the upper and lower ends of the door panel profile 704 of the door panel 701. The elevator car door 806 and landing door 903 both adopt the curved sliding door 7.
[0065] See Figure 6 , 7 ,in Figure 7This is a cross-section of the aluminum alloy extruded profile of this utility model. In a specific embodiment of the door panel profile 704 of this utility model, the structure includes a front panel 7047 and a rear panel 7042 arranged in a staggered manner. The front panel 7047 and the rear panel 7042 are connected by a connecting plate. The connecting plate includes a front connecting plate 7045 and a rear connecting plate 7043, which are arranged parallel to each other. A slot 7044 is provided between the front connecting plate 7045 and the rear connecting plate 7043 for connection with an upper pulley assembly 705 and a lower pulley assembly 706. Between the front panel 7047 and the rear panel 7042... The door panel profile 7044 is provided with a front hole 7046 and a rear hole 7049. Both the front hole 7046 and the rear hole 7049 are connected to the front plate 7047 and the rear plate 7042 respectively via vertical spacer 7041 and horizontal spacer 7048. The radial portion of the front hole 7046, including the outer diameter of the hole, is milled with equally spaced concave grooves by a milling machine. The radial portion of the rear hole 7049, including the outer diameter of the hole, is milled with equally spaced convex grooves by a milling machine, so that the concave and convex grooves correspond one-to-one. Multiple door panel profiles 704 are obtained using the same processing method. The concave and convex grooves of the rear hole 7049 of the previous door panel profile 704 are matched one-to-one with the concave and convex grooves of the front hole 7046 of the next door panel profile 704. The hinges are formed by the front hole 7046 and the rear hole 7049 being concentric and sharing a common diameter, through which a long steel pin passes. Multiple door panel profiles 704 are thus connected to form a unidirectionally flexible door panel 701, a type of concealed hinge door. In a straight-line movement trajectory, the front hole 7046 and the rear hole 7049 are concealed by the front panel 7047 and the rear panel 7042, making them invisible. In a curved movement trajectory, the front hole 7046 and the rear hole 7049 are also concentric and sharing a common diameter, through which a long steel pin passes, forming a hinge. Because the two adjacent front panels 7047 of door panel 701 are open, while the two adjacent rear panels 7042 remain close together, the hinge is concealed on the inner curved surface of door panel 701, where the two adjacent rear panels 7042 remain close together. On the outer curved surface of door panel 701, the hinge is exposed between the two adjacent front panels 7047. Although exposed, the outer curved surface of door panel 701 is on the outside of the car wall and the landing door wall, and cannot be seen by people. Whether inside the car or outside the landing door, people cannot see it. This hidden hinge door design is to achieve the aesthetics of the elevator door.

A lower insert plate 7054 that can be inserted into a slot 7044 is provided at the bottom of the upper pulley frame 7051. The upper pulley frame 7051 is fixedly connected to the door panel profile 704 through the lower insert plate 7054 and the slot 7044.
[0067] See Figure 9 The structure of the sliding wheel assembly 706 of this utility model includes a sliding wheel frame 7061 and two lower horizontal pulleys 7062. The two lower horizontal pulleys 7062 are staggered on the sliding wheel frame 7061 and are both placed inside the lower curved slide rail 703. The two lower horizontal pulleys 7062 are placed horizontally to support the horizontal force and guide the inner wall of the lower curved slide rail 703. A lower insert plate 7063 that can be inserted into a slot is provided above the top of the sliding wheel frame 7061. The sliding wheel frame 7061 is fixedly connected to the door panel profile 704 through the lower insert plate 7063 and the slot 7044.

The landing door device 902 has the same structure and door panel connection as the curved sliding car door operator 807. Compared with the curved sliding car door operator 807, the landing door device 902 lacks a door knife 8072, a motor 8074, and an operator control mechanism. The specific structure of the device 8075, pulley 8077, and belt 8076 is as follows: the landing door operator fixing plate 1001 is set on the top front side of the landing door frame 901; the landing door dovetail linear guide rail 1004 is equipped with two landing door sliders 1005 on the left and right; the landing door lock 1008 is set on the right slider; there are two landing door wire rope wheels 1002 on the left and right, respectively set at the upper ends of the landing door operator fixing plate 1001, and tensioning the landing door annular wire rope 1003 to form a ring; the upper side of the left landing door slider is fixed to the upper side of the landing door annular wire rope 1003, and the upper side of the right landing door slider is fixed to the lower side of the landing door annular wire rope 1003; the landing door panel hanging plate 1006 is divided into left and right parts, which are connected to the left and right landing door sliders 1005 respectively; the left and right landing doors 903 are connected to the left and right landing door panel hanging plates 1006 respectively. A ball bearing with a rubber sleeve, called a ball bearing 1007, is installed on the landing door lock 1008. Other structures and operating principles are similar. The transmission method of the curved sliding car door operator 807 is a belt 8079 and pulley 8077, with a motor 8074 as the power source driving the wire rope pulley 8079 and the wire rope 8080. The transmission method of the landing door device 902 is the landing door wire rope pulley 1002 and the landing door annular wire rope 1003, without a power source. The power source for the landing door device 902 is the door knife 8072 of the curved sliding car door operator 807, which is linked to the ball bearing 1007 of the landing door device 902. The connection and linkage method between the landing door device 902 and the landing door 903 is the same as the connection and linkage method between the curved sliding car door operator 807 and the car door panel 701.Simultaneously, the door knife 8072 drives the door ball 1007 of the landing door device 902 to achieve the opening and closing of the curved sliding landing door 9. After the curved sliding car 8 reaches the landing, the curved sliding car door 806 and the curved sliding landing door 9 are aligned horizontally. The door ball 1007 of the landing door device 902 will then be engaged in the U-shaped groove of the door knife 8072 of the door operator 807. The door knife 8072 will drive the door ball 1007 to move left and right, while the car door 806 and the landing door 900 of the curved sliding landing door 9 connected to them will also be affected. 3. The door opens and closes by sliding left and right. The door knife 8072 of the door operator 807 and the door ball 1007 of the landing door device 902 move horizontally left and right in a straight line along the dovetail linear guide rail 8078 / 1004. The curved sliding car door 806 and the landing door 903 of the curved sliding door 9, which are connected to the door panel hanging plate 8081 / 1006 of the landing door device 902, move horizontally left and right in a straight line + curve + straight line along the upper curved slide rail 702 and the lower curved slide rail 703 of the curved sliding door.
[0070] The working principle of the curved sliding door drive of this utility model is as follows: After the curved sliding door car 8 reaches the landing, the curved sliding door car door 806 and the curved sliding door landing door 9 are aligned at the same horizontal height. The door ball 1007 of the landing door device 902 will be engaged in the U-shaped groove of the door knife 8072 of the door operator 807. The door knife 8072 will drive the door ball 1007 to move left and right. At the same time, the car door 806 and the landing door 903 of the curved sliding door landing door 9 connected to them slide left and right to realize the opening and closing of the door. The door knife 8072 of the door operator 807 and the door ball 1007 of the landing door device 902 move horizontally left and right in a straight line along the dovetail linear guide rail 8078 / 1004.

[0071] See Figure 12 The structure of the combined shaft 2 of this utility model consists of shaft section 3 and encapsulation plate 201. Shaft section 3 is a sturdy square frame assembled on-site in the factory. Encapsulation plate 201 is a metal sheet stamped into an arc-shaped cross section with anti-corrosion surface treatment. One shaft section 3 is placed on each floor. The bottom shaft section 3 is fixed to the steel pit 1, and then the shaft sections 3 are connected layer by layer with bolts to form a shaft. The encapsulation plate 201 is fixed to the encapsulation plate fixing profile 305 on the shaft section column 301 by bolts inside the shaft. The encapsulation plate 201 is installed like a roof tile, with one encapsulation plate 201 pressing down on another encapsulation plate 201 to prevent water from entering the shaft. Encapsulation plates 201 are installed on all four sides of the combined shaft 2 except for the wall-mounted parts.
[0072] See Figure 13 The structure of the shaft section 3 of this utility model includes a column 301, a column connecting block 302, a crossbeam 303, a crossbeam connector 304, and a sealing plate fixing profile 305. The column 301 consists of four isosceles angled steel pipes arranged symmetrically in a square. A crossbeam 303 is provided between the columns 301. The crossbeam 303 is connected to the column 301 by the crossbeam connector 304. The sealing plate fixing profile 305 is fixed to the column 301 by bolts. A column connecting block 302 is provided inside the column 301. The column 301, column connecting block 302, crossbeam 303, and crossbeam connector 304 are all manufactured in the factory and assembled on site into a sturdy square frame. The upper shaft section 3 and the lower shaft section 3 are fastened together by bolts between the column connecting block 302 and the crossbeam 303 to form a combined shaft 2 with an encapsulated plate.
[0073] See Figures 14 to 16The structure of the column connecting block 302 of the shaft section 3 of this utility model includes an upper connecting block and a lower connecting block. Both the upper and lower connecting blocks are isosceles angle steel blocks and match the inner diameter of the column 301 of the isosceles angle steel pipe so that they can be installed inside. The upper and lower connecting blocks are the same size and have the same number of holes, including the same horizontal pin holes 1300. There are four pin holes 1300 in the horizontal direction and three holes in the vertical direction. The difference is that the holes in the upper connecting block are screw holes 1301, while the holes in the lower connecting block are through holes 1302. The four upper connecting blocks are inserted into the four isosceles angled steel pipes of the four columns 301 of the shaft section 3, flush with the inside of the top. Four steel pins pass through the four horizontal pin holes 1300 on the columns 301 and the upper connecting blocks, connecting the upper connecting blocks and the columns 301 as a whole. The four lower connecting blocks are inserted into the four isosceles angled steel pipes of the four columns 301 of the shaft section 3, flush with the inside of the bottom. Four steel pins pass through the four horizontal pin holes 1300 on the columns 301 and the lower connecting blocks, connecting the lower connecting blocks and the columns 301 as a whole. During the assembly of the shaft section 3… First, place the three hex bolts 1304 into the three through holes 1302 of the lower connecting block. The connection method involves stacking the two shaft sections 3 together and aligning them. Use a long hex wrench exceeding the height of the shaft section 3 to tighten the hex bolts 1304 into the screw holes 1301 of the upper connecting block. This will secure the two shaft sections 3 together, completing the assembly of the entire combined shaft 2. In actual installation scenarios, this elevator is installed close to the outer wall of the unit doorway. When the balcony protrudes from the apartment, the outer wall of the unit doorway will form a recess. The elevator shaft will be installed close to a concave corner of the exterior wall. There is no space to use traditional horizontal bolts and welding to connect and secure the two shaft sections 3. The only way to connect and secure the two shaft sections 3 is to use hexagonal bolts 1304 vertically inside the isosceles angle steel pipe of the shaft section 3 column 3. This is an important innovation and will use the world's longest hexagonal wrench (more than 3 meters in length). Otherwise, this elevator will not be able to be installed and used in 50% of the scenarios.
[0074] See Figure 17 The structure of the steel pit 1 of this utility model is composed of a coverless box body welded from steel plates, including a bottom plate 101, bottom mounting holes 102, four walls 103, bottom reinforcing ribs 104, and landing door mounting notches 105. Multiple mounting holes 102 are located at opposite positions on the bottom plate 101 to fix the steel pit 1 to the concrete raft slab. The reinforcing ribs 104 are welded to the inside of the four walls 103. The landing door mounting notches 105 are the installation positions for the elevator landing doors.
[0075] See Figure 18The structure of the traction machine room 4 of this utility model includes a traction machine 10 and a traction machine frame 401. The traction machine frame 401 is a square frame made of square tubes welded together. At the bottom of the traction machine frame 401 is a traction machine mounting chassis 402. The traction machine 10 is mounted on the traction machine mounting chassis 402. The traction sheave on the traction machine 10 is connected to the car anti-rope sheave 805 by a steel wire rope 12. The traction machine frame 401 is fastened to the top of the column 301 of the shaft section 3 at the top of the combined shaft 2 with bolts.
[0076] See Figure 19 The structure of the well cover 5 of this utility model is a metal plate folded into a bottomless box. The top surface of the box has a top reinforcing rib 501 and a top mounting hole 502. The top mounting hole 502 is used to connect with the traction machine room 4. The well cover 5 is fixed to the top of the traction machine room 4 by bolts.
[0077] See Figure 20 This utility model may also include a car mechanical stop device 6, which consists of two parts: a pin hole part, including a rolling insert 602 and a fixing plate 601; and a pin part, including a fixing bracket 605, a pin 603, and a detection switch 604. The pin part is installed on both sides of the top crossbeam of the curved sliding door car 8, adjacent to the upper guide shoe 802. The pin hole part is installed on the car guide rail at the corresponding position of the pin part when the curved sliding door car 8 is in the top floor level position. Specifically, the fixed plate 601 is fixed on the car guide rail, and the rolling socket 602 is set on the fixed plate 601. The rolling socket 602 is a socket composed of upper and lower pulleys. The fixed frame 605 is installed on both sides of the top beam of the curved sliding door car 8, close to the upper guide shoe 802. The pin 603 and the detection switch 604 are both set on the fixed frame 605. The position of the pin 603 corresponds to that of the rolling socket 602. The detection switch 604 is used to detect whether the pin 603 is inserted into the rolling socket 602. When the pin 603 is inserted into the rolling socket 602, the detection switch 604 will be activated and cut off the power supply of the elevator traction machine 10, so that the car stops moving.
[0078] There are two mechanical stop devices for the car, one on the left and one on the right, arranged symmetrically. The function of these mechanical stop devices in machine-room-less elevators is to prevent injury to personnel working on the car top from any movement caused by the car's movement during maintenance on the top floor. They are typically pin-type devices, where a pin is fixed to the car, and a pin hole is fixed to the hoistway. Inserting the pin into the pin hole ensures the car cannot move. Simultaneously, a detection switch, upon detecting the pin insertion, cuts off the elevator's main power supply, thus ensuring safe operation.
[0079] The new standard "Safety Code for Elevator Manufacturing and Installation GB / T7588.1-2020" requires that the mechanical stop device of the car be safe and reliable, ensuring that the pin of the mechanical stop device can be smoothly pulled out of the pin hole to restore the normal movement of the car, allowing professional workers on the car top to leave the shaft through the landing door to ensure safety. Otherwise, a 50 cm × 50 cm escape passage should be opened above the landing door on the top floor. However, due to the limitations of the original building structure, it is difficult to guarantee a 50 cm × 50 cm escape passage space when installing elevators in old buildings. Traditional mechanical stop devices for the car may not be able to ensure that the pin can be pulled out of the pin hole due to the large weight of the car, thus preventing the car from moving normally. Professional workers on the car top will be trapped on the car top and unable to leave the shaft, which is very dangerous. Based on the above reasons, technological innovation is needed to develop a rolling pin with rollers to ensure that the pin of the mechanical stop device can be smoothly inserted into or released from the rolling pin, ensuring the car stops and moves normally, and protecting the safety of professional workers.
[0080] The elevator operation mode of this utility model is the same as that of traditional elevators, both being traction passenger elevators. It was researched and designed in accordance with the standard "Safety Specifications for Elevator Manufacturing and Installation GB / T7588.1-2020".
[0081] The contents of this utility model and the technical contents and necessary elevator components not specifically described in the above embodiments also comply with the "Safety Code for Elevator Manufacturing and Installation GB / T7588.1-2020" standard.
[0082] The above are merely specific embodiments disclosed in this utility model, but the scope of protection disclosed in this utility model is not limited thereto. The scope of protection disclosed in this utility model shall be determined by the scope of protection of the claims.
