AI Technical Summary
Existing elevators lack effective protection mechanisms in the event of an accidental fall, resulting in insufficient safety and an inability to effectively protect the elevator itself and the safety of passengers.
Design a fall protection mechanism that includes a braking device, an internal buffer device, an external buffer device, a drive device, and an acceleration sensor. The sensor detects abnormal changes in acceleration and activates the drive device, which in turn drives the braking device and the buffer device to work, thereby slowing down the elevator's descent or stopping the elevator from falling.
In the event of an elevator accident, it can stop the fall in time, minimize the impact on the elevator and passengers, improve the safety of elevator operation, and reduce the probability of passenger injury.
