Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to an elevator, and more particularly to an elevator belt breakage prevention structure. Background Technology

[0002] Vertical lifts with a lifting height exceeding 2 meters are required by national regulations to be designed with anti-fall structures to prevent the lift from falling from a height due to accidents, causing losses or even danger.

[0003] Many current fall protection structures rely on sensors for fall prevention, such as patent number CN201820739157, titled "An Invention of a Lift with Fall Prevention Function"; and patent number CN202011068084, titled "An Invention of a Fall Prevention Device for Lifts." However, sensors are precision electronic components with inherent reliability issues, especially during prolonged use or in harsh environments. Therefore, this application addresses these problems by designing a sensorless fall prevention structure that eliminates the need for sensors, thereby improving the structure's reliability.

[0027] As will be fully understood by those skilled in the art, the features of the different embodiments of this disclosure may be coupled or combined with each other in part or in whole, and may cooperate with each other and be technically driven in various ways. The embodiments of this disclosure may be implemented independently of each other, or may be implemented together in an interdependent relationship.

[0028] Reference Figures 1 to 3This invention discloses a lifting belt breakage prevention structure for a lifting platform. The structure includes a frame 1, a lifting seat 2, and a lifting belt 3 for lifting the lifting seat 2. It also includes a connecting component fixedly connected to the lifting belt 3, a safety pin 4 mounted on the lifting seat 2 and movable along its own axis, and a pin hole 5 mounted on the frame 1. The connecting component, safety pin 4, and pin hole 5 are arranged in pairs to ensure force balance. The lifting seat 2 and the connecting component are elastically connected by an elastic element 6. A pull rod 7 is provided between the connecting component and the safety pin 4, hinged to both. An elastic element 8 is provided between the safety pin 4 and the lifting seat 2, allowing the safety pin 4 to pop out and insert into the pin hole 5. Through this structure, after the lifting belt 3 breaks, the elastic elements 6 and 8 work together to push the safety pin 4 into the pin hole 5, thereby securing the lifting seat 2 onto the frame 1 and providing a fall prevention function.

[0029] The specific structure described above is as follows: the connecting assembly includes a trigger plate 9, a connecting rod 10, and a clamping assembly for clamping the lifting belt 3; the elastic element 6 is a trigger spring; the lifting seat 2 has a through hole; the connecting rod 10 is located in the through hole and can move along the through hole; one end of the connecting rod 10 is fixed to the clamping assembly and the other end is fixed to the trigger plate 9; the trigger spring is located on the connecting rod 10; one end of the trigger spring abuts against the lifting seat 2 and the other end abuts against the trigger plate 9; the pull rod 7 is hinged to the trigger plate 9; in this application, the end of the connecting rod 10 has a threaded adjusting nut 11, which can adjust the position of the trigger plate 9 and the preload on the trigger spring; the trigger plate 9 is an L-shaped plate, which facilitates spatial connection. The specific structure of the clamping assembly is as follows: it includes a first clamping plate 12 and a second clamping plate 13, the lifting belt 3 is located between the first clamping plate 12 and the second clamping plate 13, the first clamping plate 12 and the second clamping plate 13 are locked together by screws, and the connecting rod 10 is fixed to the first clamping plate 12. The above structure is easy to assemble.

[0030] As shown in the figure, a pin cylinder 14 is installed on the lifting base 2. The pin cylinder 14 is fixed to the lifting base 2 by screws. The pin cylinder 14 has a sliding hole 15, and the safety pin 4 is located in the sliding hole 15. The safety pin 4 has a limiting protrusion 16, and the sliding hole 15 has a limiting protrusion 17. The elastic element 8 is a trigger spring 2, which is disposed on the safety pin 4. One end of the trigger spring 2 abuts against the limiting protrusion 16, and the other end of the trigger spring 2 abuts against the limiting protrusion 17. Therefore, through the above structure, the safety pin 4 and the trigger spring 2 can be restricted in the pin cylinder 14 and will not come out. As a further structure, the pin hole 5 is an elongated hole, so that the safety pin 4 can be more easily inserted into the pin hole 5.

[0031] In order to make the space compact and to avoid drilling holes in the frame 1 and reducing the strength of the frame 1, the frame 1 is equipped with a fall arrestor plate 18, and the pin hole 5 is provided on the fall arrestor plate 18.

[0032] To ensure that the connecting rod 10 can move smoothly, a sliding sleeve 19 is provided in the through hole. The sliding sleeve 19 is fixed to the lifting seat 2 by screws. The connecting rod 10 is located in the sliding sleeve 19, which is generally a copper sleeve.

[0033] One end of the connecting rod 10 is provided with a connecting block, and the clamping plate 12 is provided with a T-shaped groove. The connecting block can be inserted into the T-shaped groove. The above structure is convenient for processing and assembly.

[0034] The principle of this structure is as follows: If the lifting belt 3 of this application breaks, the trigger plate 9 loses its pulling force, thus losing pressure on the trigger spring 1. Under the action of elastic force, the trigger spring 1 will quickly push the trigger plate 9 downward, and the trigger plate 9 can drive the pull rod 7 to swing. While the pull rod 7 swings, it not only releases the movement space for the safety pin 4, but also pushes the safety pin 4 to move. At the same time, the trigger spring 2 will also push the safety pin 4 to move axially so that it can be inserted into the pin hole 5.

[0035] Because the pulling force of this application is perpendicular to the lifting direction, while the movement line of the safety pin 4 is perpendicular to the lifting direction, and we need to use the pulling force as the preload of the safety pin 4, we achieve the force conversion through the oblique connection of the pull rod 7. However, this will create an obstacle when the trigger spring 2 pushes the safety pin 4. Without the assistance of the trigger spring 1, the trigger spring 2 is prone to jamming when pushing the safety pin 4.

[0036] The above provides a detailed description of a lift belt breakage prevention structure provided by the embodiments of the present invention. Specific examples have been used to illustrate the principle and implementation of the present invention. The description of the above embodiments is only for the purpose of helping to understand the method and core idea of ​​the present invention. At the same time, for those skilled in the art, there will be changes in the specific implementation and application scope based on the idea of ​​the present invention. Therefore, the content of this specification should not be construed as a limitation of the present invention.
