[0032] The anti-falling net part is installed at the hovering position of each floor of the elevator, and the anti-falling net part comprises a square anti-falling net fixing frame 7, a rope collecting motor 10, a traction rope guide seat 11, an anti-falling net traction arm fixing cross beam 12, a third electromagnet 21, a square anti-falling net 29, an anti-falling net traction arm 30 and a traction rope fixing pulley 31, the square anti-falling net fixing frame 7 is directly fixed on the rear wall of the elevator shaft, two anti-falling net traction arms 30 are fixed at each floor, the lower end of the anti-falling net traction arm 30 is rotatably installed on the mounting seat of the rear wall of the elevator shaft, the upper end of the anti-falling net traction arm 30 is attracted by the third electromagnet 21 fixed on the rear wall of the elevator shaft, the anti-falling net traction arm fixing cross beam 12 is fixed in the elevator shaft and located in front of the car 13, two traction rope fixing pulleys 31 are symmetrically fixed at each floor, the traction rope fixing pulley 31 is installed on the side of the anti-falling net traction arm 30 close to the elevator shaft, the lower end of the square anti-falling net 29 is connected with the square anti-falling net fixing frame 7, and the upper end of the square anti-falling net 29 is connected with the anti-falling net traction arm 30, two rope collecting motors 10 are symmetrically arranged at each floor, the rope collecting motor 10 and the traction rope guide seat 11 are fixed on the front wall of the elevator shaft, the traction rope guide seat 11 is located on both sides of the rope collecting motor 10, and the lead line on the rope collecting motor 10 passes through the traction rope guide seat 11 and the traction rope fixing pulley 31 and is connected with the hole arranged at the lower end of the anti-falling net traction arm 30.

[0033] It should be noted that the anti-falling net part is installed at the hovering position of each floor elevator, i.e. below each floor elevator door 6; the square anti-falling net 29 is laid on the back wall of the elevator shaft; the traction rope guide hole is arranged on the traction rope guide seat 11, the traction rope of the rope collecting motor 10 starts from the front wall of the elevator shaft, passes through the closed groove left in the left or right wall of the elevator shaft, reaches the back wall of the elevator shaft, and is connected with the lower end of the anti-falling net traction arm 30 through the traction rope fixed pulley 31 installed on the back wall of the elevator shaft.

[0034] The composite buffer part is installed below the elevator shaft, opposite to the bottom surface of the car 13, the lower end of the car 13 is provided with a second electromagnet 26, the composite buffer part includes a high-pressure gas tank 8 and a composite buffer device 9, the composite buffer device 9 includes an air bag 24, a first electromagnet 25, a polyurethane buffer column 32 and a water bag 33, the first electromagnet 25 is fixed on the air bag 24, the air bag 24 is fixed on the water bag 33, the water bag 33 is provided with a cylindrical space for accommodating the polyurethane buffer column 32, the second electromagnet 26 is opposite to the magnetism of the first electromagnet 25; the telescopic hydraulic rod 34 is fixedly installed on both sides of the counterweight 22, the end of the telescopic hydraulic rod 34 is provided with a deceleration rubber pad 35, and the first distance sensor 36 is installed on the bottom of the counterweight 22; the sensor part includes a speed sensor 42 and a second distance sensor 43, and the speed sensor 42 and the second distance sensor 43 are installed on the bottom of the car 13.

[0035] It should be noted that when the elevator loses speed, the telescopic hydraulic rod 34 is quickly extended, pushing the deceleration rubber pad 35 to tightly contact with the counterweight guide rail, so that the counterweight 22 is quickly stopped; the position of the counterweight 22 measured by the first distance sensor 36 and the position of the car 13 measured by the second distance sensor 43 together determine which floor rope collecting motor 10 works;

[0036] The brake 16 and the rope collecting motor 10 are electrically connected with the controller, the speed sensor 42 and the second distance sensor 43 are signal connected with the controller, the first electromagnet 25 is located at the uppermost end of the composite buffer device 9, the water bag 33 is located at the lowermost end of the composite buffer device 9, the second electromagnet 26 is powered through the traveling cable 14 of the car 13, the speed sensor 42 is used to detect the running speed of the elevator in real time, so as to judge whether the falling event occurs, the second distance sensor 43 is used to judge the initial falling height of the elevator, and provide the basis for the subsequent selection of the friction coefficient of the brake 16 and the working floor of the square anti-falling net 29; in the moment of falling of the elevator, the folded air bag 24 is blown up by the high-pressure gas tank 8, the first electromagnet 25 and the second electromagnet 26 are powered to form an electromagnetic field, the square anti-falling net 29 is unfolded, and the brake 16 reduces the acceleration of the falling elevator; if the floor is high, the brake 16, the square anti-falling net 29 and the magnetic field cannot make the elevator completely stop falling, and the elevator will fall on the first electromagnet 25, and the air bag 24, the water bag 33 and the polyurethane buffer column 32 buffer it, the energy of the elevator at this time is small, and the falling impact and the buffer oscillation are not too large; through the cooperation of the brake 16, the anti-falling net part, the composite buffer part, the counterweight part and the sensor part, the elevator obtains a suitable acceleration in the falling process, so that the passengers in the elevator can be effectively protected, and the problem that the traditional protection mode decelerates too fast and the buffer vibration of the elevator easily causes harm to the passengers in the elevator is solved.

[0037] As shown in Figure 9 The left and right sides of the car frame 5 are provided with retractable car frame guide plates 45.

[0038] It should be noted that a plurality of retractable car frame guide plates 45 are installed on the left and right sides of the car frame 5, and the guide plates are retracted after encountering an obstacle, but the remaining guide plates are still in the grooves, maintaining the pose of the car frame.

[0039] As shown in Figure 10 The middle grid of the square anti-falling net 29 is dense, and the grid around the middle grid is sparse.

[0040] It should be noted that the middle grid of the square anti-falling net 29 is dense, and the grid around the middle grid is sparse, so as to wrap the elevator and prevent the elevator from tilting.

[0041] As shown in Figure 1 The sensor part further comprises a first light sensor 3, and the first light sensor 3 is installed on the elevator car guide rail 4.

[0042] It should be noted that the first light sensor 3 is used to detect the diameter of the steel rope between the brake 16 and the car frame 5, so as to remind the staff to replace it in time.

[0043] As shown in Figures 1-2As shown, the sensor part further comprises a first electromagnetic sensor 15 and a second electromagnetic sensor 20, which are fixed on the wall below the machine room 44, the steel rope of the traction elevator passes through the first electromagnetic sensor 15, and the steel rope of the traction elevator counterweight 22 passes through the second electromagnetic sensor 20.

[0044] It should be noted that the first electromagnetic sensor 15 is used to detect whether the diameter of the steel rope of the traction elevator is within a safe range, and the second electromagnetic sensor 20 is used to detect whether the diameter of the steel rope of the traction elevator counterweight 22 is within a safe range, reminding the staff to replace in time.

[0045] As shown in the figure, Figures 1-2 The sensor part further comprises a second light sensor 19 and a third light sensor 27, which are installed in the machine room 44 and located beside the first fixed pulley 18 and the second fixed pulley 28 of the traction respectively.

[0046] It should be noted that the first fixed pulley 18 is driven by the lifting motor 2, the second light sensor 19 is used to detect the distance between the steel rope of the traction elevator counterweight 22 and the second light sensor 19, and the third light sensor 27 is used to detect the distance between the steel rope of the traction elevator and the third light sensor 27, so as to judge the wear degree of the pulley through the distance of the steel rope to the sensor, remind the staff to replace in time, and prevent falling accidents caused by damage of the steel rope.

[0047] As shown in the figure, Figures 1-2 The control cabinet 1 and the distribution box 17 are installed in the machine room 44, the controller is installed in the control cabinet 1, and the buffer spring 23 is installed on the ground below the elevator counterweight 22.

[0048] It should be noted that the distribution box 17 supplies power to the whole system, the controller controls the actions of the brake 16, the anti-falling net part, the composite buffer part and the sensor part, and the buffer spring 23 provides buffer for the elevator counterweight 22.

[0049] When the elevator is working normally, the first electromagnetic sensor 15 and the second electromagnetic sensor 20 are used to detect whether the diameter of the traction rope and the counterweight 22 of the elevator is within the safe range; the second light sensor 19 and the third light sensor 27 are used to detect the distance between the traction rope and the sensor, and the wear degree of the pulley is determined by the distance from the rope to the sensor; when the elevator falls, the speed measured by the speed sensor 42 exceeds the limit value, the height of the elevator when falling is determined according to the measurement data of the second distance sensor 43, and then the friction coefficient of the brake 16 is selected, and the first stage braking is performed through the brake 16 to reduce the kinetic energy of the elevator; at the same time, the telescopic hydraulic rod 34 is quickly extended, the deceleration rubber pad 35 is pressed to tightly fit the counterweight guide rail, the counterweight 22 is quickly stopped, and the controller selects the rope winding motor 10 according to the data measured by the first distance sensor 36 and the second distance sensor 43. The third electromagnet 21 loses magnetism after being powered off, the rope winding motor 10 located below the elevator and not interfering with the counterweight 22 during the working process is rotated, the traction rope is wound and pulled, the anti-falling net traction arm 30 passes through between the elevator car guide rail 4 and the counterweight guide rail, and the square anti-falling net 29 is completely unfolded. It should be noted that the anti-falling net traction arm 30 is tilted on the anti-falling net traction arm fixed cross beam 12, the anti-falling net traction arm fixed cross beam 12 is used as a support, part of the car frame guide plate 45 will interfere with the anti-falling net traction arm 30 when the car frame 5 passes through the square anti-falling net 29, but the interfering car frame guide plate 45 will be retracted and then pass through between the two anti-falling net traction arms 30 without interfering with the car anti-falling net traction arm 30. The car frame guide plate 45 that does not interfere with the car anti-falling net traction arm 30 is still elongated and clamped into the car frame guide rail 4 to maintain the pose of the car 5. At the same time, the valve of the high-pressure gas tank 8 is opened, the air bag 24 rapidly expands to meet the falling car upward, the second electromagnet 26 and the first electromagnet 25 are both powered by the traveling cable 14 of the car 13 to generate a mutual magnetic field, so that the brake 16, the square anti-falling net 29 and the magnetic field consume the energy of the elevator.

[0050] In order to make the reverse acceleration of the elevator not higher than the range that the human body can withstand in the falling process, the resistance of the brake 16 and the square anti-falling net 29 to the elevator cannot be too large, therefore, the elevator will break through several square anti-falling nets 29 under the continuous action of the brake 16, and slow down layer by layer under the assistance of the magnetic field. The low floor cannot be completely offset by the brake 16, the square anti-falling net 29 and the magnetic field after breaking through several square anti-falling nets 29 due to too short deceleration distance, but the kinetic energy of the elevator is greatly reduced, and the elevator first falls on the first electromagnet 25 to compress the air bag 24, then compresses the water bag 33 and the polyurethane buffer column 32; the medium and high floors have moderate deceleration distance, so that the brake 16 can be selected to have a slightly larger friction coefficient, and under the premise of ensuring the safety of passengers, the kinetic energy of the elevator is reduced in a short time under the action of the brake 16, the square anti-falling net 29 and the magnetic field; the high floor has a long deceleration distance, and the brake 16 and the magnetic field are used to break through the square anti-falling net 29 of each floor continuously, and finally hover in the elevator shaft, and the data measured by the second distance sensor 43 is used to determine the floor where the elevator is located to perform rescue.

[0051] The flexible elevator anti-falling protection system provided by the application comprises a brake 16, an anti-falling net part, a composite buffer part, a counterweight part and a sensor part, wherein the speed sensor 42 is used to detect whether the running speed of the elevator is abnormal in real time, so as to determine whether a falling event occurs, the second distance sensor 43 and the first distance sensor 36 are used to determine the initial falling height of the elevator, and provide a basis for subsequent selection of the friction coefficient of the brake 16 and the working floor of the square anti-falling net 29, and through cooperation of the brake 16, the anti-falling net part, the composite buffer part, the counterweight part and the sensor part, the elevator obtains a suitable acceleration in the falling process, so that passengers in the elevator can be effectively protected, and the problem that the traditional protection mode is too fast to slow down and the buffer vibration generated by the elevator easily causes harm to passengers in the elevator is solved.
