[0002] With the rapid development of the country's economy and urban construction, high-rise buildings have sprung up, and the demand for elevators has also increased rapidly. As one of the current mainstream elevators, machine room-less elevators have an increasing market share. Although elevator technology is improving day by day, making the safety performance of elevators fully guaranteed, elevator failures still occur due to long-term use of elevators and improper operation by users. For machine room-less elevators, the main engine is installed in the shaft. When the elevator fails and people are trapped and need rescue, the trapped people cannot be rescued by turning the car to rescue, especially when the weight of the car and the counterweight is just balanced, and rescue cannot be carried out by releasing the brake and sliding the car.

[0003] Therefore, usually the only way to achieve the purpose of rescue is to add heavy objects on the top of the car or apply external force to destroy the balance state, such as entering the pit to pull the compensation chain, to destroy the balance state between the car and the center weight, so that the car can move. However, these methods are relatively complicated to operate, and rescue personnel need to arrive at the scene and jump into the shaft or reach the top of the car to carry out rescue. There are certain limitations, which affects the rescue efficiency. Summary of the invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0029] In order to facilitate the understanding of the present invention, the present invention will be described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. The accompanying drawings provide preferred embodiments of the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention. The present application can be embodied in many different forms, and those skilled in the art can make some non-essential modifications, improvements and adjustments to the present invention based on the content of the above invention.

[0030] It should be noted that all directional indications in the embodiments of the present invention, such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc., are only used to explain the corresponding positional relationship, movement status, etc. between the various components under a certain specific posture (as shown in the accompanying drawings). If the specific posture changes, the directional indication will also change accordingly.

[0031] In addition, the descriptions of "first", "second", etc. in the present invention are only for descriptive purposes and cannot be understood as hints or indicators of relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of technical features shown. Therefore, the features defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of the features.

[0032] The "pushing end point" in the present invention refers to the maximum pushing position reached by the pushing rod, and the size of this position is determined according to the pushing stroke of the pushing rod.

[0033] The "sliding initial point" in the present invention refers to the position of the magnetic member when the locking device is not electrically controlled.

[0034] Figure 1 An elevator 1 is shown, which includes an elevator balance rescue system and a guide rail 2. The guide rail 2 includes a first guide rail 21 and a second guide rail 22. The elevator balance rescue system can be arranged on the first guide rail 21 or the second guide rail 22 alone, or on the first guide rail 21 and the second guide rail 22 respectively. The elevator balance rescue system includes a pushing device 4 and a locking guide device 5.

[0035] Figure 2 The structure of the pushing device 4 of the elevator balance rescue system is shown. The pushing device 4 includes a motor 6, a housing 7, and a pushing rod 8. One end of the pushing rod is connected to the car 3, and the other end is accommodated in the housing 7. The motor 6 is arranged on the housing 7 and is in transmission connection with the pushing rod 8, so that the car 3 is driven to move through the pushing rod 8 to destroy the balance of the car and the counterweight.

[0036] Figure 3 The structure of the locking guide device 5 of the elevator balance rescue system is shown. The locking guide device 5 includes a frame 9; a guide plate 10, which is arranged on the frame 9 and located beside the guide rail 2; a magnetic member 11, which is arranged on the guide plate 10 and can slide relative to the guide plate 10; and an electromagnetic component 12, which is arranged between the guide plate 10 and the magnetic member 11; the magnetic member 11 can be adsorbed and moved to abut against the guide rail 2 under the action of the electromagnetic component 12.

[0037] In one embodiment, the magnetic member 11 includes a contact portion 111 and a sliding portion 112. The sliding portion 112 includes a first sliding portion 112a and a second sliding portion 112b, and the two sliding portions are arranged in parallel with each other and arranged along the length direction of the guide rail, presenting a π-shaped structure. A plurality of guide holes 101 are provided on the guide plate 10, so that the sliding portion 112 of the magnetic member can move under the adsorption of the electromagnetic component 12, pass through the guide hole 101 and abut against the guide rail 2. Preferably, the magnetic member 11 can be an armature.

[0038] In one example, a limiting plate 91 is disposed on the frame 9 , and the limiting plate 91 is disposed opposite to the guide plate 10 , and a magnetic member 11 is disposed between the guide plate and the limiting plate 91 .

[0039] Figure 3 It is also shown that an elastic reset member 13 is provided between the guide plate 10 and the magnetic member 11 . The elastic reset member is reset when the electromagnetic component 12 is not energized, and the magnetic member 11 abuts against the limit plate 91 .

[0040] In one embodiment, the elastic reset member 13 is disposed between the first sliding portion 112a and the second sliding portion 112b; the electromagnetic component 12 is disposed outside the first sliding portion 112a and the second sliding portion 112b. In addition, the electromagnetic component 12 may also be disposed between the first sliding portion 112a and the second sliding portion 112b, and the elastic reset member 13 may be disposed outside the first sliding portion 112a and the second sliding portion 112b. The electromagnetic component 12 may be an electromagnetic coil, and the elastic reset member 13 may be a spring.

[0041] The guide plate 10 of the present invention can be arranged alone on one side of the guide rail, or symmetrically as shown in FIG. Figure 3 As shown, the locking guide device 5 is arranged on both sides of the guide rail. Both arrangements can allow the locking guide device 5 to easily guide the movement of the car 3 on the guide rail 2 under electrical control.

[0042] Figure 3 A also shows that the locking guide device 5 of the present invention also includes an anti-wear shoe lining 14, which is arranged on the side of the guide plate 10 facing the guide rail. The anti-wear shoe lining 14 is used to reduce the friction between the locking guide device 5 and the guide rail 2, and extend the service life of the locking guide device. The anti-wear shoe lining is generally made of highly wear-resistant plastic, such as highly wear-resistant nylon material and highly wear-resistant polyurethane material. When replacement is required, only the anti-wear shoe lining needs to be disassembled and replaced. When the elevator car is working on the guide rail, since the elevator moves up and down on the guide rail, the anti-wear shoe lining 14 prevents the car from deflecting or swinging during movement, plays a role in guiding the movement, thereby making the sliding between the elevator car and the guide rail more reliable and safe.

[0043] Figure 3B shows that the locking guide device 5 of the present invention also includes a guide pulley group 15, which can replace the role of the anti-wear shoe liner 14. The guide pulley group 15 is arranged on the frame 9 corresponding to the guide rail 2. The guide pulley group 15 includes a first guide wheel 151 and a second guide wheel 152. The first and second guide wheels 151 and 152 are respectively arranged on both sides of the guide rail 2 and the wheel surface is in rolling contact with the guide rail, so as to guide the movement direction of the locking guide device and avoid the friction between the guide plate and the guide rail. In another embodiment, the guide pulley group 15 includes three guide wheels in a "pin" shape (not shown). The three guide wheels can be respectively arranged on the front, left and right sides of the guide rail and are in rolling contact with the guide rail to form a triangular clamping surface, which can prevent the car from deflecting or swinging during movement, and more stably guide the car to move up and down on the guide rail, so that the sliding between the car and the guide rail is safer and more reliable.

[0044] In a preferred example, the locking guide device 5 may include the above-mentioned anti-wear shoe lining 14 and the above-mentioned guide pulley group 15. During the lifting process of the car, the anti-wear shoe lining and the guide pulley group provide the movement between the car and the guide rail with the guiding effect of the anti-wear shoe lining and the guide rail, and the guiding effect of the guide pulley group and the guide rail. Under the dual guiding effect, even if any component of the anti-wear shoe lining and the guide pulley group is not used well during the operation of the car, it will not cause a great impact on the stability of the car movement along the guide rail. Moreover, under the dual guiding effect, the vibration and noise of the elevator can be reduced, providing better elevator comfort.

[0045] The balance rescue system also includes a lower guide shoe 16, such as Figure 1 As shown, the lower guide shoe 16 is arranged between the bottom of the car 3 and the guide rail 2. The lower guide shoe includes a first lower guide shoe 161 and a second lower guide shoe 162, which are respectively arranged on one side of the guide rail 2 and are in sliding contact with the guide rail. The function of the lower guide shoe is similar to that of the guide pulley block, and both can guide the movement of the car.

[0046] The working principle of the elevator balance rescue system of the present invention is as follows:

[0047] When the weight of the car and the counterweight is balanced, the car stops moving. At this time, the rescue personnel control the locking guide device 5 by electrical control outside the shaft. The electromagnetic component 12 generates magnetic attraction. The magnetic member 11 is adsorbed and passes through the guide plate 10 under the action of the electromagnetic component 12 to press against the guide rail 2. At the same time, the elastic reset member 13 is compressed. Then the motor 6 of the pushing device 4 is energized and activated, and the pushing rod 8 is pushed toward the car 3. Since the locking guide device 5 is pressed against the guide rail 2 at this time and the housing 7 of the pushing device is connected to the locking guide device 5, the pushing rod 8 is connected to the car 3. When the pushing rod 8 is pushed out, the car 3 will move in the direction of the pushing direction. When the push reaches the end point, the electromagnetic component 12 of the locking guide device 5 loses power, and the magnetic attraction also disappears, the magnetic part 11 is released, and the magnetic part 11 slides to the initial point of the slide under the reaction force of the elastic reset part 13, completing the locking guide device 5 and no longer pressing against the guide rail 2. Then the motor 6 of the pushing device 4 is powered again. Since the push rod 8 is connected to the car 3, the car 3 is equivalent to a fixed object when the traction main machine is unpowered. At this time, the push rod 8 of the pushing device is also regarded as a fixed part. The housing 7 of the pushing device moves toward the car together with the locking guide device 5 to realize the retraction of the push rod 8 into the housing 7, completing a rescue. If the balance state of the car and the counterweight is destroyed after a rescue is completed, the rescue of the trapped person is realized by releasing the brake and sliding the car; if after a push rescue is implemented, due to the limited pushing stroke of the pushing device, the car is pushed for a distance and still fails to destroy the balance state, then repeat the above process until the balance state of the car and the counterweight is destroyed, and then the rescue of the trapped person is realized by releasing the brake and sliding the car.

[0048] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. For those skilled in the art, the present invention may have various changes, variations and modifications. Any modification, replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
