Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of elevators, and in particular to an anti-sway device for a traveling cable of an elevator. Background Art

[0002] With the increasing number of scenic spots, the number of outdoor vertical elevators has also increased. For the sake of aesthetics and sightseeing, many outdoor vertical elevators do not have their shafts enclosed. In windy weather and other conditions, the elevator's traveling cables can swing. The swinging traveling cables can easily get caught on other components such as the shaft bracket, causing the elevator to stop and damage other elevator components, or even causing dangerous situations such as passenger injuries after the elevator stops. The existing system uses chains to prevent the cables from swinging when blown by the wind, but this will cause pulling and squeezing of the cables, affecting the cable and the elevator's travel, thereby affecting the normal operation of the elevator. In addition, the cables rub against the chains when moving up and down, which can easily cause damage to the cables and reduce their service life. Summary of the Invention

[0030] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present invention more apparent, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It is hereby stated that any directional terms such as "up," "down," "left," "right," "front," "back," "inside," and "outside" that appear or will appear herein are based solely on the accompanying drawings and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0031] See also Figure 1-7 As shown, the present invention discloses an elevator traveling cable anti-sway device, comprising a limiting mechanism for limiting the swing of the cable 10 and a guiding mechanism for guiding the cable 10, wherein the guiding mechanism is arranged at the bottom of the limiting mechanism.

[0032] The limiting mechanism includes a cable placement area and a limiting area. The cable placement area includes a cable placement cavity 11. A first longitudinal component and a first transverse component are provided in the cable placement cavity 11. The first longitudinal component includes a plurality of first longitudinal rods 3, and the first transverse component includes a plurality of first transverse rods 4. The first longitudinal rods 3 and the first transverse rods 4 enclose a cable placement channel 12 for accommodating the cable 10. The limiting area includes limiting components respectively provided on both sides of the cable placement area. The limiting components include limiting members 5, and a rope placement channel 21 is formed between two adjacent limiting members 5. Preferably, the limiting area includes limiting components respectively provided on opposite sides of the cable placement area.

[0033] The guiding mechanism includes a guiding shell 7, a second longitudinal component and a second transverse component. The guiding shell 7 is arc-shaped and is provided with a cable guide cavity 71. The second longitudinal component and the second transverse component are both arranged in the cable guide cavity 71. The second longitudinal component includes a plurality of second longitudinal rods 8. The second transverse component includes a plurality of second transverse rods 9. The second longitudinal rods 8 and the second transverse rods 9 form a cable guide channel 72 for accommodating the cable 10. The cable guide channel 72 is connected to the cable placement channel 12.

[0034] It should be noted that the traveling cable extends from the top to the bottom of the hoistway. The upper half of the cable is fixed to the inner wall of the hoistway, while the lower half moves up and down as the elevator rises and falls. To coordinate with the elevator's traveling cable anti-sway device, a steel wire rope is installed in the hoistway, with one wire rope on each side of the cable, and the ends of the wire rope are respectively fixed to the top and bottom of the hoistway. The wire rope 20 is inserted into the rope channel 21, allowing the limit mechanism to slide along the wire rope 20. The cable 10 is inserted into the cable guide channel 72 and the cable channel 12.

[0035] The present invention provides an elevator traveling cable anti-sway device with a limiting mechanism and a guide mechanism. The limiting mechanism comprises a cable placement area and a limiting area. The cable is routed through the cable placement area, and the limiting area is provided with a limiting assembly. The limiting assembly cooperates with accessories within the hoistway to restrict the movement of the limiting mechanism within a specific area, thereby preventing the cable from swaying due to wind. The limiting assemblies are arranged on both sides of the cable placement area to ensure that the limiting mechanism moves smoothly and does not easily shake when the cable moves up and down with the elevator, thereby effectively ensuring that the cable moves smoothly up and down and does not sway due to external forces.

[0036] The guide mechanism, designed to adapt to the bend at the bottom of the cable, features an arc-shaped guide housing. This not only guides the cable and prevents it from swaying, but also prevents it from being pulled or squeezed. It even provides some support to prevent it from being affected by the elevator's movement, thereby preventing the elevator from stopping, damaging other elevator components, or even causing passenger injuries after a stop. Therefore, the limiting mechanism and guide mechanism work together to effectively prevent the cable from swaying under external forces, while also preventing it from affecting its movement and the normal operation of the elevator.

[0037] In addition, the arrangement of the first longitudinal component, the first transverse component, the second longitudinal component and the second transverse component prevents the cable from directly contacting components such as the guide shell, thereby preventing the cable from being damaged by friction with the guide shell when traveling, and effectively protects the cable.

[0038] like Figure 1-3 As shown, the limiting mechanism includes a limiting shell, the limiting shell is provided with a cable placement portion 1 and a limiting portion 2, the first longitudinal assembly and the first transverse assembly are mounted on the cable placement portion 1, and the limiting assembly is mounted on the limiting portion 2. The cable placement portion 1 is disposed within the cable placement area, and the limiting portion 2 is disposed within the limiting area. A first longitudinal rod 3 is mounted on the cable placement portion 1, with the two ends of the first longitudinal rod 3 being connected to the opposite side walls of the cable placement portion 1 of the limiting shell; a first transverse rod 4 is mounted on the cable placement portion 1, with the two ends of the first transverse rod 4 being connected to the opposite side walls of the cable placement portion 1 of the limiting shell.

[0039] Specifically, the limiting shell includes at least two limiting plates (not shown) arranged opposite to each other, and the two limiting plates are detachably connected. The two limiting plates can be fixedly connected by a first longitudinal rod 3. That is, the two ends of the first longitudinal rod 3 are respectively connected to the two limiting plates, and the two ends of the first transverse rod 4 are respectively connected to the opposite side walls of the same limiting plate. Wherein, the first longitudinal rod 3 and the first transverse rod 4 are preferably screws, which are fixedly installed on the limiting shell by nuts. The two limiting plates are detachably connected, which facilitates the disassembly and assembly of the limiting mechanism.

[0040] like Figure 1As shown, the top of the guide housing 7 and the bottom of the cable placement portion 1 are fixedly connected, achieving a fixed connection between the limiting mechanism and the guide mechanism, connecting the cable placement channel and the cable guide channel, and the cable is laid through the cable placement channel and the cable guide channel. The top of the guide housing and the bottom of the cable placement portion can be connected by screws and nuts, or can be connected by a first longitudinal component, a first transverse component, a second longitudinal component, or a second transverse component.

[0041] Among them, the first longitudinal rods 3 are arranged at intervals along the extension direction of the cable 10 and are arranged on opposite sides of the cable 10, and the first transverse rods 4 are arranged at intervals along the extension direction of the cable 10 and are arranged on opposite sides of the cable 10, and the first longitudinal rods 3 and the first transverse rods 4 are arranged in a crisscross manner. Preferably, the first longitudinal rods 3 arranged on opposite sides of the cable 10 are parallel to each other, and the first transverse rods 4 arranged on opposite sides of the cable 10 are parallel to each other. The first longitudinal rods 3 and the first transverse rods 4 are perpendicular to each other. The arrangement of the first longitudinal rods and the first transverse rods ensures that the section of cable in the cable placement area will not rub against each other during the relative movement with the limiting shell, thereby preventing the cable from being damaged. At the same time, the cable will not be pulled or squeezed, thereby ensuring the normal movement of the cable and limiting the cable to prevent the cable from swaying under the action of external forces.

[0042] The second longitudinal rods 8 are arranged at intervals along the extension direction of the cable 10 and are arranged on opposite sides of the cable 10. The second transverse rods 9 are arranged at intervals along the extension direction of the cable 10 and are arranged on opposite sides of the cable 10. The second longitudinal rods 8 and the second transverse rods 9 are arranged in a crisscross pattern. Preferably, the second longitudinal rods 8 arranged on opposite sides of the cable 10 are parallel to each other, and the second transverse rods 10 arranged on opposite sides of the cable 10 are parallel to each other. The second longitudinal rods 8 and the second transverse rods 9 are perpendicular to each other. The second longitudinal rods 8 and the second transverse rods 9 are both screws, fixed to the guide shell 7 by nuts. The arrangement of the second longitudinal rods and the second transverse rods ensures that the section of cable in the guide shell will not rub against each other during the relative movement with the guide shell, thereby preventing damage to the cable. At the same time, the arc-shaped design of the guide shell guides and supports the cable without pulling or squeezing the cable, ensuring normal movement of the cable. It also limits the cable and prevents it from swaying under external forces.

[0043] Preferably, the first longitudinal rod 3, the first transverse rod 4, the second longitudinal rod 8, and the second transverse rod 9 are each covered with a sheath (not shown). The sheath is made of, but not limited to, PVC, rubber, or silicone. The provision of the sheath further prevents direct contact between the cables and the first longitudinal rod, the first transverse rod, the second longitudinal rod, or the second transverse rod, thereby preventing damage to the cables due to friction and further ensuring the safety of the cables.

[0044] Further, if Figure 2-4As shown, the limiting assembly further includes a connecting member 6, and the limiting member 5 is mounted on the limiting portion 2 via the connecting member 6. Both ends of the connecting member 6 are respectively connected to the two limiting plates.

[0045] Preferably, the limiting member 5 is a guide wheel, and the connecting member 6 is a rotating shaft. The limiting member 5 and the connecting member 6 are rotatably connected, and the limiting member 5 is coplanar. That is, a rope channel is formed between the edges, i.e., the circumferences, of the two guide wheels. The wire rope is threaded through the channel, allowing the limiting mechanism to move along the wire rope, thereby limiting the limiting mechanism, and thus the cable, preventing the cable from swaying due to external forces such as wind. Clamping the wire rope between the two guide wheels stabilizes movement and ensures connection reliability. Furthermore, the rotation of the guide wheels during movement reduces friction with the wire rope, thereby reducing resistance.

[0046] Specifically, the guide housing 7 includes at least two symmetrically arranged guide plates (not shown), which are detachably connected. The two guide plates are fixedly connected by a second longitudinal rod 8. Specifically, the two ends of the second longitudinal rod 8 are respectively connected to the two guide plates, and the two ends of the second transverse rod 9 are respectively connected to the opposite side walls of the same guide plate. The second longitudinal rod 8 and the second transverse rod 9 are preferably screws fixed to the guide housing via nuts. The detachable connection of the two guide plates facilitates the disassembly and assembly of the guide mechanism.

[0047] Preferably, at least two sets of limit assemblies are provided on the same side of the cable placement area, with the axes of the rope placement channels 21 of the two sets of limit assemblies aligned in a straight line. This arrangement effectively ensures the secure and stable connection of the anti-sway device to the same wire rope, preventing the anti-sway device from swaying. The provision of limit assemblies on both sides of the cable placement area, along with at least two sets of limit assemblies on each side, further reduces the swing amplitude of the anti-sway device under external forces such as wind, acting as a position limiter for the cable, minimizing cable swing and preventing it from affecting normal elevator operation.

[0048] Preferably, the axis of the rope channel 21 and the axis of the cable channel 12 are parallel to each other, ensuring that the anti-sway device will not cause bending to the cable during the up and down movement and that the wire rope and the cable will not interfere with each other, effectively protecting the cable and extending its service life.

[0049] Preferably, the axis of the cable guiding channel 72 and the axis of the cable placement channel 12 are on the same straight line, ensuring that the cable will not be bent during the up and down movement, effectively protecting the cable and extending its service life.

[0050] In summary, the present invention provides an elevator traveling cable anti-sway device to prevent the cable from swinging under the action of external force, so that the cable moves smoothly with the elevator, and effectively protects the cable to ensure the normal operation of the elevator.

[0051] The above is a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principles of the present invention. These improvements and modifications are also considered to be within the scope of protection of the present invention.
