[0029] The second buffer 3 includes one connected to the middle of the first buffer 2 . A second buffer 3 can be arranged on the first buffer 2 , and the second buffer is installed in the middle of the first buffer 2 .

[0030] Two second buffers 3 may be installed on the first buffer 2 , and the two second buffers 3 may be installed at two ends of the buffer bracket 5 of the first buffer 2 .

[0031] The device is provided with a locking structure, which includes a locking pin and a first limit block 12; the locking pin and the first limit block 12, one is provided on the first buffer 2, and the other is provided on the base. Specifically, there are two situations: the locking pin can be provided on the base, and the first limit block 12 is provided on the first buffer 2, and the first limit block 12 can slide on the second slide groove. After the first buffer 2 drives the first limit block 12 to approach the locking pin, the first limit block 12 can be buckled on the locking pin to lock the first buffer 2. The connection between the locking pin and the first limit block 12 is used to lock the first buffer 2 in a vertical state.

[0032] Alternatively, the lock pin is disposed on the first buffer 12 and the first limit block is disposed on the base. When the lock pin directly serves as a positioning pin, the lock pin can slide on the second slide groove. When the lock pin slides toward the first limit block 12, the first limit block 12 buckles the lock pin to lock the first buffer 2. The sliding end of the first buffer 2 is provided with a positioning pin 13 connected to the second slide groove 14, and the positioning pin 13 can slide along the second slide groove 14. The lock pin serves as the positioning pin 13.

[0033] The elevator buffer device includes a first guide structure arranged on the base, and the first guide structure is used to control the directional sliding of the rack 8. The first guide structure includes a first slide groove 11, and the rack 8 is partially accommodated in the first slide groove 11. The first slide groove 11 is arranged on the fixed plate 10 on the base, and the upper boundary of the rack 8 is matched with the first slide groove 11 arranged on the fixed plate 10. The rack 8 can slide on the first slide groove 11, and the matching method can be that a groove is arranged on the upper boundary of the rack 8, and a protrusion is arranged on the first slide groove 11 to match the groove of the rack 8, and the groove can slide on the protrusion, and there are grooves on both sides of the protrusion, and the groove of the first slide groove 11 has a protrusion on both sides of the surface of the groove to match the groove, and the protrusion is stuck in the groove and can slide on the groove. The cooperation between the protrusion and the groove prevents the rack 8 from falling from the first slide groove 11. It is also possible that protrusions are provided on both side surfaces of the upper boundary of the first slide groove 11, recesses are provided on the inner walls of the two side surfaces of the first slide groove 11, and protrusions corresponding to the recesses are provided on the rack 8. The protrusions and the cooperation can also achieve that the rack 8 can slide on the first slide groove 11 without falling. The implementation methods are not limited to these two methods.

[0034] The second guide structure includes a connecting rod 9 and a second slide groove 14 arranged on the base, the two ends of the connecting rod 9 are respectively hinged to the base and the first buffer 2, and the sliding end of the first buffer 2 is connected to the second slide groove 14; the sliding end of the first buffer 2 is provided with a positioning pin 13 connected to the second slide groove 14, and the positioning pin 13 can slide along the second slide groove 14; and also includes a second limit block 15, and the second limit block 15 is provided with a limiting groove 16, and the positioning pin 13 is connected to the second slide groove 14 and the limiting groove 16 at the same time. When the first buffer 2 and the second buffer 3 are switched, the motor 1 drives the rack 5 to operate, the rack 8 slides on the first slide groove 11, and then drives the positioning pin 13 to slide on the second slide groove, and the sliding end of the first buffer 2 slides to the left. Because there is a connecting rod 9 intersecting the first buffer 2 and the base, the connecting rod 9 rotates when the first buffer 2 slides relative to the base, pushing the first buffer 2 to rotate to a vertical state, and the buffer head 6 of the first buffer 2 faces the bottom of the elevator car, and the second buffer 3 rotates to a horizontal direction accordingly.

[0035] The first buffer 2 and the second buffer 3 both include a buffer bracket 5 and a buffer head 6; the end of the first buffer 2 away from its sliding end is the buffer head 6; the end of the second buffer 3 away from the first buffer 2 is the buffer head 6; the buffer bracket 5 of the first buffer 2 is longer than the buffer bracket of the second buffer 3. The different lengths of the buffer bracket 5 enable the reserved space at the bottom of the pit to be switched when there are staff working at the bottom of the elevator pit.

[0036] The transmission structure can also be a screw nut pair and a motor, both of which are arranged on the base, the motor is used to drive the screw to rotate, and the nut block is connected to the sliding end of the first buffer 2; the motor drives the screw to rotate, and the nut block drives the sliding end of the first buffer 2 to slide in the second slide groove 14. Similarly, the first buffer 2 is driven to slide on the second slide groove 14, the connecting rod 9 drags the first buffer to rotate, and the locking device locks the position of the first buffer 2.

[0037] The transmission structure can also be a cylinder, such as a gas cylinder or a hydraulic cylinder; the housing (fixed end) and piston rod (output end) of the cylinder, one of which is hinged to the base and connected to the sliding end of the first buffer 2. If the housing of the cylinder is hinged to the base, the piston rod of the cylinder is hinged to the sliding end of the first buffer 2, the cylinder piston rod retracts and slides the sliding end of the first buffer, thereby driving the first buffer 2 to rotate, the connecting rod 9 pushes the first buffer 2, the first buffer 2 rotates to a vertical state, and the locking pin buckles into the first limit block 12, and the first buffer is locked.

[0038] The invention also includes an electromagnetic lock arranged on the base, the pin shaft of the electromagnetic lock is connected to the first limit block; the electromagnetic lock is used to drive the first limit block away from the lock pin. The first limit block is provided with a bayonet for connecting the lock pin.

[0039] It also includes a contact lock arranged on the base or the first buffer; the contact lock includes a shell and a buckle; when the first buffer is switched to a horizontal state, the base and the first buffer are buckled through the contact lock, and the horizontal state of the first buffer is locked.

[0040] The contact lock is arranged at one end of the base away from the guide structure, or at a position on the first buffer away from its sliding end; when the first buffer is in a horizontal state, the end of the base away from the guide structure is buckled with the first buffer through the contact lock. The left end of the base is provided with an inclined surface. When the contact lock is arranged on the first buffer, when the first buffer is in a horizontal state, the buckle of the contact lock can buckle the left end of the base.

[0041] The method of use and operation of the device are as follows: when the elevator is operating normally, the buffer head 6 of the second buffer 3 faces the bottom of the car to support the elevator operation, the contact lock 17 locks the fixed plate 10 and the first buffer 2, the electromagnetic lock 4 is running, the first limit block 12 does not rotate, the positioning pin 16 is stuck at the terminal of the second slide groove 14, and the gear 7 and rack 8 do not move. When the elevator needs to adjust the reserved space at the bottom of the pit, the motor 1 starts to work, the electric contact lock 17 opens and no longer locks the fixed plate 10 and the first buffer 2, the gear 7 starts to move, and the rack 8 engaged with the gear 7 slides on the first slide groove 11 on the fixed plate 10, and at the same time drives the second limit block 15 fixed to the rack 8 to move. Because the positioning pin 13 is stuck in the second limit block 15 through the second slide groove 14, the positioning pin 13 also slides. Because the second slide groove 14 is set in an arc shape, There is a deviation in the upper and lower spaces, and the locating pin 13 can make up for the difference in space on the limiting groove 16 of the second limiting block 15. Because the locating pin 13 is hinged to the first buffer 2 at the same time, and a connecting rod 9 is provided on the fixed plate 10 and the first buffer 2, and the installation method is hinged, the sliding of the locating pin 13 can drive the hinged end of the first buffer 2 to slide in the same direction. Due to the setting of the connecting rod 9, the connecting rod 9 can support the first buffer 2 to rotate to the vertical direction. When the first buffer 2 rotates to the vertical direction, the locating pin 13 is also stuck in the positioning hole of the first limiting block 12. This is because the electromagnetic lock 4 is closed here to drive the first limiting block 12 to rotate and clamp the locating pin 13. At this time, the second buffer 3 is rotated to the horizontal position due to the rotation of the first buffer 2, and the buffer head 2 of the first buffer 2 is facing the bottom of the elevator car to make the pit bottom space larger, so as to facilitate the staff to perform pit bottom operations.

[0042] The above embodiments are not limited to the technical solutions of the embodiments themselves, and the embodiments can be combined with each other to form new embodiments. The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and are not intended to limit them. Any modification or equivalent replacement that does not deviate from the spirit and scope of the present invention shall be included in the scope of the technical solutions of the present invention.
