[0036] As shown in Figures 1 to 9

[0037] An elevator anti-falling device, comprising: an elevator car 1, a guide rail 2, a roller 3, a first fixed seat 4, a first rotating shaft 5, a transmission assembly 6, a clutch assembly 7, a drive shaft 8, a push plate 9 and a brake assembly, the guide rail 2 is installed on one side of the elevator car 1, the first fixed seat 4 is fixed on the top of the elevator car 1, the first rotating shaft 5 is rotatably installed on the first fixed seat 4, the first rotating shaft 5 passes through the roller 3, and the roller 3 and the first rotating shaft 5 are fixedly connected, the roller 3 is matched in the guide rail 2 and rolls with the lifting of the elevator car 1; the clutch assembly 7 is installed on the elevator car 1, and the clutch assembly 7 is arranged on one side of the first rotating shaft 5, the transmission assembly 6 is connected between the clutch assembly 7 and the first rotating shaft 5, the drive shaft 8 is fixed on the output end of the clutch assembly 7, the push plate 9 is slidably installed on the elevator car 1, and the front end of the push plate 9 is threadedly connected with the rear end of the drive shaft 8; the brake assembly comprises a rotating seat 10, a guide rod 11, a brake lever 12 and a brake pad assembly 13, the middle part of the rotating seat 10 is sleeved on the guide rod 11, the left half of the rotating seat 10 is provided with a strip-shaped hole 101, the rear end of the push plate 9 is provided with a connecting rod 91, and the connecting rod 91 is matched in the strip-shaped hole 101; the brake pad assembly 13 is provided with two groups, the two groups of brake pad assemblies 13 are respectively fixed on the front side of the left end of the rotating seat 10 and the rear side of the right end of the rotating seat 10; the brake lever 12 is provided with two, the two brake levers 12 and the two brake pad assemblies 13 are correspondingly arranged, and the brake lever 12 is located on the movement track of the brake pad assembly 13.

[0038] ​In this way, when the steel wire rope is broken or the elevator falls for other reasons, the falling of the elevator car 1 will accelerate, thus the rotating speed of the roller 3 will increase, and the rotating speed of the first rotating shaft 5 will increase, and the rotating speed of the clutch assembly 7 will increase under the transmission of the transmission assembly 6, thus the clamping between the front and rear parts of the clutch assembly 7 is promoted, and then the driving shaft 8 is rotated, since the driving shaft 8 and the push plate 9 are threadedly connected, and the push plate 9 is slidingly installed on the elevator car 1, thus the rotation of the driving shaft 8 promotes the sliding of the push plate 9, the sliding of the push plate 9 promotes the rotation of the rotating seat 10, and the rotation of the rotating seat 10 promotes the braking of the brake pad assembly 13 supported on the brake lever 12, until the elevator car 1 stops falling. In this way, the whole braking process does not rely on the steel wire rope, and as long as the elevator car 1 falls, the falling speed of the elevator car 1 will increase, thus the brake assembly is gradually started until the elevator car stops falling.

[0039] In addition, as shown in Figure 9 The brake pad assembly 13 comprises a brake pad fixing seat 131, an elastic member 132 and a brake pad 133, the brake pad fixing seat 131 is fixed on the end of the rotating seat 10, the brake pad 133 is slidingly installed on the brake pad fixing seat 131, and the elastic member 132 is arranged between the brake pad 133 and the brake pad fixing seat 131, and the two ends of the elastic member 132 are connected with the brake pad 133 and the brake pad fixing seat 131 respectively. Specifically, in order to realize the lateral sliding of the brake pad 133, a guide rod is arranged on the brake pad 133, and guide holes are arranged on the brake pad fixing seat 131 and the rotating seat.

[0040] In this way, the brake pad 133 first contacts the brake lever 12, and as the rotating seat 10 continues to rotate, the brake pad 133 compresses the elastic member 132, and in this process, the pressure of the brake pad 133 on the brake lever 12 increases continuously, thus the brake pad 133 can gradually complete the braking, instead of braking the elevator car 1 in an instant, so as to avoid the injury of passengers in the elevator car 1.

[0041] In addition, the cross section of the brake lever 12 is circular, and the cross section of the brake pad 133 is semicircular.

[0042] In this way, the contact area between the brake pad 133 and the brake lever 12 can be increased, thus the braking effect is better.

[0043] In addition, as shown in Figure 2 — Figure 6As shown, the clutch assembly 7 comprises a second fixed seat 71, a second rotating shaft 72 and a clutch, the second fixed seat 71 is arranged on one side of the first fixed seat 4, the second fixed seat 71 is arranged in two, the clutch is arranged between the two second fixed seats 71, the second rotating shaft 72 and the driving shaft 8 are respectively fixed on the input end and the output end of the clutch, and the second rotating shaft 72 and the driving shaft 8 are respectively rotatably connected with the two second fixed seats 71; the transmission assembly 6 comprises a transmission wheel 61 and a transmission belt 62, the transmission wheel 61 is arranged in two, the two transmission wheels 61 are respectively fixed on the first rotating shaft 5 and the second rotating shaft 72, and the transmission belt 62 is matched on the two transmission wheels 61; the front end of the push plate 9 is provided with a threaded hole 92, and the rear end of the driving shaft 8 is provided with a screw rod 81, the screw rod 81 is matched in the threaded hole 92.

[0044] In this way, the rotation of the first rotating shaft 5 drives the rotation of one of the transmission wheels 61, and the transmission wheel 61 drives the rotation of the other transmission wheel 61 through the transmission belt 62, thereby driving the rotation of the second rotating shaft 72.

[0045] In addition, the clutch comprises a base 73, an end cover 74, a second elastic member 75, a clutch block 76 and a limiting assembly, the end cover 74 and the base 73 are rotatably connected, the second rotating shaft 72 and the base 73 are fixedly connected, the driving shaft 8 and the end cover 74 are fixedly connected, the base 73 is provided with a guide groove 731, the guide groove 731 is arranged in two, the clutch block 76 is arranged in two, the two clutch blocks 76 are respectively slidably matched in the guide groove 731, the second elastic member 75 is arranged between the two clutch blocks 76, and the two ends of the second elastic member 75 are respectively connected with the two clutch blocks 76; the inner wall of the end cover 74 is provided with a clamping block 741, the base 73 rotates faster, the clutch block 76 slides outward to one side of the clamping block 741, the clutch block 76 drives the rotation of the clamping block 741, and the clamping block 741 drives the rotation of the end cover 74; the limiting assembly is installed in the guide groove 731, and the limiting assembly is located on one side of the sliding direction of the clutch block 76, when the clutch block 76 slides outward, the limiting assembly fixes the clutch block 76.

[0046] In this way, when the elevator falls, the rotating speed of the second rotating shaft 72 increases, the second rotating shaft 72 drives the base 73 to rotate faster, so that the clutch block 76 slides radially under the action of centrifugal force, the clutch block 76 and the clamping block 741 in the end cover 74 are clamped to drive the rotation of the end cover 74, and the rotation of the end cover 74 drives the rotation of the driving shaft 8, at the same time, the limiting assembly can fix the clutch block 76 after sliding, so as to avoid that after the brake slows down, the rotating speed of the roller 3 decreases, the rotating speed of the second rotating shaft 72 decreases, the rotating speed of the base 73 decreases, and the centrifugal force of the clutch block 76 decreases to return to the original position.

[0047] In addition, the limiting assembly comprises a third elastic member 77 and a limiting block 78. The side surface of the clutch block 76 is provided with a clamping groove 761, the side surface of the guide groove 731 is provided with a mounting groove 7311, the third elastic member 77 is mounted in the mounting groove 7311, and the limiting block 78 is slidingly fitted in the mounting groove. The end surface of the limiting block 78 is provided with an inclined surface 781 which is abutted against the end surface of the clutch block 76 under the action of the third elastic member 77.

[0048] In this way, when the clutch block 76 is subjected to a larger centrifugal force, the clutch block 76 slides against the pressure given by the inclined surface 781. When the limiting block 78 and the clamping groove 761 are aligned, the limiting block 78 is clamped in the clamping groove 761 and is always clamped in the clamping groove 761 under the action of the third elastic member 77, thereby fixing the clutch block 76.

[0049] In summary, the above only describes the preferred embodiments of the present application and is not used to limit the present application. Any modification, equivalent replacement and improvement within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
