[0002] Guide shoes are sliding nylon blocks that connect elevator guide rails and the car. They secure the car to the guide rails, allowing it to move only up and down. The guide shoes also have oil cups at the top to reduce friction between the shoe liner and the guide rails. Currently, commercially available sliding guide shoes suffer from short lifespan, high installation and maintenance costs, impact on car stability, and limited functionality, failing to monitor car speed and thus unsuitable for current needs to improve performance and reduce costs. Therefore, a new type of rolling guide shoe needs to be designed to meet these requirements. Summary of the Invention

[0029] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. The illustrative embodiments and descriptions of the present invention are used to explain the present invention, but are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0030] It should be noted that all directional indicators (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, upper end, lower end, top, bottom, etc.) in the embodiments of the present invention are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of each component in a certain specific posture (as shown in the figure). If the specific posture changes, the directional indicator will also change accordingly.

[0031] In this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the term "connection" should be interpreted broadly. For example, "connection" can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; it can be the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components, unless otherwise explicitly limited. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention according to the specific circumstances.

[0032] Furthermore, in this invention, descriptions involving "first," "second," etc., are for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature. Additionally, the technical solutions of various embodiments can be combined with each other, but only on the basis of being achievable by those skilled in the art. If the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or impossible to implement, such a combination should be considered non-existent and not within the scope of protection claimed by this invention.

[0033] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-5 The present invention will be further described in detail below. The present invention changes the conventional friction method of sliding guide shoes and guide rails used in the market, and realizes the function of monitoring car speed.

[0034] Example 1: As Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a guide shoe that improves car stability and has a speed detection function includes a guide shoe seat 1 and a liner 2. The liner 2 is mounted on the guide shoe seat 1 via a fixing member 3. The liner 2 has an installation groove 21. Shoe liners 5 are respectively installed on the left and right inner sidewalls of the installation groove 21. A rolling assembly 4 is installed at the bottom of the installation groove 21. Both the shoe liners 5 and the rolling assembly 4 are fixed to the liner 2 via shoe liner fixing components 6. The rolling assembly 4 is driven by a central threaded rod 7. One end of the central threaded rod 7 is connected to a speed detection box 8. This invention optimizes the sliding friction between the guide shoe and the guide rail into rolling friction, reducing component wear, increasing the service life of the guide shoe, reducing installation and maintenance costs, improving the stability of car operation, and enhancing the stability of safety component operation. Through the optimized design of the guide shoe structure, the guide shoe can monitor the car speed, improving the safety of car operation.

[0035] Specifically, in this embodiment, the rolling assembly 4 includes a roller row 41 and threaded rollers 42 (with threaded holes at the axial center). The roller row 41 is installed at the bottom of the mounting groove 21. The threaded rollers 42 are detachably mounted on the roller row 41. The threaded rollers 42 are threadedly connected to the central threaded rod 7. It should be noted that, in terms of assembly, the roller row 41 of the guide shoe is mounted tightly against the top surface of the guide rail. When the elevator is running, the rollers of the roller row 41 and the threaded rollers 42 rotate with the elevator due to their close contact with the top surface of the guide rail, converting the vertical speed of the elevator into the rotational speed of the rollers. The threaded rollers 42 are screwed tightly onto the central threaded rod 7, at which point the threaded rollers 42 and the central threaded rod 7 rotate together at the same speed. The speed detection box 8 can detect the speed of the elevator by detecting the rotational speed of the central threaded rod 7 and output corresponding elevator control signals. When the elevator is overspeeding, the speed detection box 8 detects that the elevator's running speed exceeds the allowable range and outputs a signal to control the elevator to decelerate and stop.

[0036] Specifically, in this embodiment, the boot liner fixing assembly 6 includes a boot liner fixing plate 61 and boot liner fixing bolts 62; two boot liner fixing plates 61 and two boot liner fixing bolts 62 are provided; after the boot liner fixing plates 61 press against the tops of the boot liner 5 and the roller row 41 respectively, they are then fixed to the liner seat 2 by the boot liner fixing bolts 62. It should be noted that the boot liner fixing plates 61 are provided at the top and bottom of the liner seat 2, which can prevent external dust and impurities from entering the interior of the liner seat 2, ensuring the normal operation of the safety components and improving the safety of the car operation.

[0037] Specifically, in this embodiment, the mounting groove 21 is U-shaped, which facilitates the installation of the rolling assembly 4 and the boot liner 5, and also facilitates its fit with the guide rail.

[0038] Specifically, in this embodiment, the boot liner fixing plate 61 is U-shaped, which can avoid the guide rail and prevent collisions, further improving the safety of the car operation.

[0039] Specifically, in this embodiment, the fixing member 3 includes a first fixing bracket 31 and a second fixing bracket 32; the bushing 2 is fixed to the guide shoe seat 1 through the first fixing bracket 31 and the second fixing bracket 32 ​​respectively; one end of the central threaded rod 7 passes through the first fixing bracket 31, the bushing 2, and the threaded roller 42 in sequence and then exits from the second fixing bracket 32; the other end of the central threaded rod 7 is connected to the speed detection box 8; the central threaded rod 7 has a thread in the middle; the threaded roller 42 is threadedly connected to the middle of the central threaded rod 7.

[0040] Specifically, in this embodiment, both the first fixed bracket 31 and the second fixed bracket 32 ​​are in the shape of an I-beam.

[0041] Specifically, in this embodiment, the elevator running speed is converted into the rotational speed of the roller and the central threaded rod 7, and the relevant calculations are as follows:

[0042] Taking the descent of the elevator car as an example: During elevator operation, the time and distance the car falls along the guide rail are consistent with the time and distance the rollers roll against the guide rail. Assume: the elevator speed is V1, the running time is t, the radius of the threaded roller 42 is R1, and the rotational speed of the threaded roller 42 is n.

[0043] Running distance L:

[0044] The outer ring circumference of the threaded hole roller 42 is D1 = 2π*R1.

[0045] L = V1 * t,

[0046] L=n*t*D1

[0047] Therefore, the vertical running speed of the car is converted into the rotational speed of the threaded roller 42 and the central threaded rod 7 by the formula n=V1 / 2π*R1; the speed detection box 8 detects the rotational speed of the central threaded rod 7, monitors the speed of the elevator, and outputs the corresponding elevator control signal.

[0048] Example 2: As Figure 6 As shown, specifically in this embodiment, the rolling assembly 4 includes a ball bearing row 43 and threaded rollers 42. The ball bearing row 43 is installed at the bottom of the mounting groove 21. The threaded rollers 42 are detachably mounted on the ball bearing row 43. The threaded rollers 42 are threadedly connected to the central threaded rod 7. It should be noted that the rolling assembly 4 can utilize a roller bearing row 41 and a ball bearing row 43 to achieve the rolling cutter function, and can also be replaced by other components capable of performing the rolling function, not limited to roller bearing row 41 and ball bearing row 43. Furthermore, regarding stability, wear-resistant material can be coated onto the roller surface to increase stability and reduce elevator operating noise.

[0049] In summary, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0050] (1) Cost: The sliding friction between the guide shoe and the guide rail is optimized into rolling friction, which reduces component wear, increases the service life of the guide shoe, reduces installation and maintenance costs, improves the smoothness of car operation, and improves the stability of safety component operation.

[0051] (2) Functionally: Through the optimized design of the guide shoe structure, the guide shoe can monitor the speed of the car, thereby improving the safety of the car operation.

[0052] The technical solutions provided by the embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above. Specific examples have been used to illustrate the principles and implementation methods of the embodiments of the present invention. The descriptions of the embodiments above are only for helping to understand the principles of the embodiments of the present invention. At the same time, for those skilled in the art, there will be changes in the specific implementation methods and application scope based on the embodiments of the present invention. Therefore, the content of this specification should not be construed as a limitation of the present invention.
