DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0030] In order to enable a more clear understanding of the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present application, the present application will be described in detail below with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that the embodiments and features of the embodiments in the present application can be combined with each other without conflict. In the following description, a lot of specific details are set forth in order to facilitate a full understanding of the present application. The described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present application, but not all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor, fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0031] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application belongs. The terminology used in the description of the application herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the application.

[0032] The present application specifically discloses a device for realizing loading of elevator large components, which comprises a storage platform 1, a balancing unit 3 and a transportation unit 4.

[0033] In a specific embodiment, the storage table 1, the balancing unit 3 and the transportation unit 4 are stacked from top to bottom in sequence, which can be fixed by snap-fit or screw fixation, etc. to prevent positional deviation between the storage table 1, the balancing unit 3 and the transportation unit 4 during movement. Meanwhile, the balancing unit 3 includes a first detection unit 34, a leveling mechanism 30, a first counterweight assembly 31 and a second counterweight assembly 32. The first detection unit 34 is built in the leveling mechanism 30, which is an electronic scale. The first counterweight assembly 31 and the second counterweight assembly 32 are respectively arranged on both sides of the leveling mechanism 30, wherein the first counterweight assembly 31 is arranged on the side close to the car, and the second counterweight assembly 32 is arranged on the side away from the elevator car. During movement of the transportation unit 4, the first counterweight assembly 31 enters the elevator car first, and then when the transportation unit 4 carrying the large component 6 enters the elevator car, the load of the elevator car will change, thereby forming a height difference between the elevator car and the elevator platform. In order to ensure that the elevator car can remain stable, the leveling mechanism 30 changes the relative weight of the first counterweight assembly 31 and the second counterweight assembly 32, so that the weight inside and outside the elevator car remains balanced. As the large component 6 gradually enters the elevator car, the leveling mechanism 30 also dynamically changes the relative weight of the first counterweight assembly 31 and the second counterweight assembly 32. The control unit also controls the height of the elevator car according to the height difference information detected by the second detection unit 2, so that the height difference information is within the first set threshold range, and the elevator car and the elevator are kept on the same plane as much as possible, and the large component 6 remains stable during the process of entering the elevator car.

[0034] In a further preferred embodiment, the principle and working state of the change of the relative weight of the first counterweight assembly 31 and the second counterweight assembly 32 are specifically introduced. The first counterweight assembly 31 and the second counterweight assembly 32 are both box bodies, which are filled with counterweight medium. The counterweight medium can be water, oil and other substances with fluidity. The first counterweight assembly 31 and the second counterweight assembly 32 are connected through a pipeline, the middle part of which passes through the leveling mechanism 30. The leveling mechanism 30 is provided with a pump body, which can extract and adjust the counterweight medium between the first counterweight assembly 31 and the second counterweight assembly 32, so as to control the weight ratio between the first counterweight assembly 31 and the second counterweight assembly 32.

[0035] In a further preferred embodiment, the structure and working process of the transport unit 4 are specifically introduced, wherein the bottom of the transport unit 4 is provided with an open downward cavity, a hydraulic auxiliary balancing assembly 40 is installed in the cavity to completely fill the cavity, and a plurality of groups of rollers 41 are arranged, and each roller 41 can swing up and down, the bottom of the roller 41 is in contact with the ground, and the top of the roller 41 is in contact with the hydraulic auxiliary balancing assembly 40. During the movement, the roller 41 will swing up and down with the change of the load, and act on the hydraulic auxiliary balancing assembly 40 above, and the hydraulic auxiliary balancing assembly 40 will distribute the pressure to other rollers 41, so as to prevent the car from being unstable due to the sudden increase of the load.

[0036] In a further optional embodiment, the hydraulic auxiliary balancing assembly 40 is a sealed water bag 400, and the sealed water bag 400 is installed and fixed in the cavity, and the top of the roller 41 is in close contact with the sealed water bag 400. When the transport unit 4 moves to the car, the car will shake unnecessarily due to the sudden increase of the load of the car. In order to reduce the shaking, when the roller 41 contacts the car, the roller 41 can swing up and down, and the roller 41 will slightly float up and down when contacting the car. The impact caused by the up and down floating of the roller 41 will be transmitted to the sealed water bag 400 above to offset, so as to reduce the impact of the sudden increase of the load on the car.

[0037] In a further optional embodiment, the hydraulic auxiliary balancing assembly 40 is a plurality of groups of uniformly arranged sub-water bags 401, and each sub-water bag 401 is arranged and distributed in the cavity, and each two groups of sub-water bags 401 are separated by a partition plate 402. Each sub-water bag 401 is in close contact with a roller 41, and only acts on the corresponding sub-water bag 401 above during the up and down floating of the roller 41. Due to the blockage of the partition plate 402, the disturbance to the adjacent roller 41 is reduced, and the stability of the movement of the transport unit 4 is improved.

[0038] In a further preferred embodiment, a second detection unit installed in the car is specifically introduced, wherein the second detection unit comprises a ranging emission module and a ranging receiving module, wherein the ranging emission module is an infrared emitter installed at the bottom of the elevator car, and the ranging receiving module is an infrared receiver installed on the elevator platform. When the moving unit enters the elevator car, the height of the elevator will change due to the new load, so the position of the infrared emitter shooting towards the infrared receiver will change. The position change information is transmitted to the electric control unit 5, and the electric control unit 5 aggregates the information into the height difference information of the elevator car and the elevator platform. At the same time, the electric control unit 55 is also electrically connected with the balancing unit 33 and the transportation unit 44. The device electric control unit 55 compares the collected height difference information, and then controls the balancing unit 33 and the movement of the transportation unit 44 after processing the messages.

[0039] A control method of a device for realizing the loading of elevator large components, comprising the following steps:

[0040] When the large component 6 is placed on the placing table, the electric control unit 5 confirms that the large component 6 has been placed on the placing table after receiving the load signal detected by the first detection unit 34. At this time, the electric control unit 5 can drive the transportation unit 4 to move from the elevator platform to the elevator car direction or from the elevator car to the elevator platform direction;

[0041] When the transportation unit 4 moves to the elevator car or the elevator platform, the height difference between the elevator car and the elevator platform will change due to the sudden increase or decrease of the load of the elevator car. The second detection unit can obtain the height difference information in real time;

[0042] The electric control unit 5 adjusts the counterweight between the first counterweight assembly 31 and the second counterweight assembly 32 through the control of the leveling mechanism 30 and adjusts the up and down movement of the elevator car according to the height difference information and the load information, so as to reduce the height difference between the elevator car and the elevator platform, and make the large component 6 more stable during movement.

[0043] In a further preferred solution, the method further comprises the steps of: obtaining load information of the first detection unit 34, determining that the state of the large component 6 is abnormal when the rate of change of the load change information of the first detection unit 34 exceeds a second preset range, and the state abnormality can be that the large component 6 suddenly tilts, and the electric control unit 5 controls the elevator control system to start and stop the elevator car: during the further movement of the transportation unit 4, the state of the large component 6 is determined in real time by detecting the information data of the first detection unit 34 and the second detection; when the electric control unit 5 detects that the difference reaches a preset threshold, it is determined that the state of the large component 6 is abnormal, and the transportation unit 4 and the in-car automatic balancing device are controlled to stop working; if the electric control unit 5 detects that the difference does not reach the preset threshold, it is determined that the state of the large component 6 is normal, and the transportation unit 4 and the in-car automatic balancing device continue to work until the large component 6 is completely sent into the elevator car.

[0044] When the car transports the large component 6 to the corresponding floor, the moving unit moves out of the car, and when the moving unit contacts the floor, the state of the large component 6 is determined in real time by detecting the information data of the first detection unit 34 and the second detection, and by controlling the balance ratio of the first counterweight assembly 31 and the second counterweight assembly 32 to maintain balance; when the electric control unit 5 detects that the difference reaches a preset threshold, it is determined that the state of the large component 6 is abnormal, and the transportation unit 4 and the in-car automatic balancing device are controlled to stop working; if the electric control unit 5 detects that the difference does not reach the preset threshold, it is determined that the state of the large component 6 is normal, and the transportation unit 4 and the elevator car continue to work until the large component 6 is completely sent out of the elevator car.

[0045] The first detection unit 34, the first detection unit 34, the first detection unit 34, the first detection unit 34, the first detection unit 34, the above-mentioned are only preferred embodiments of the present application, and do not limit the present application in any form. Any modification, equivalent change and modification of the above-mentioned embodiments without departing from the technical solution of the present application, according to the technical essence of the present application, are still within the scope of the technical solution of the present application.
