The brake can also be a separate brake, which is provided on the output shaft of the driving component. In the event of an accident, the brake clamps and brakes the output shaft. The brake component is a normally open type, and when braking is required, the brake component clamps and closes.

[0100] like Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the curved tower elevator provided in this embodiment, the telescopic assembly 11 includes a fixed part 17, a first movable part 19 and a second movable part 20, the fixed part 17 has an installation cavity 18, and the installation cavity 18 is provided with an elastic part 12; the first movable part 19 and the second movable part 20 are respectively symmetrically connected to the fixed part 17 for sliding, one end of the first movable part 19 is connected to one end of the elastic part 12, and the other end of the first movable part 19 is connected to the first driving part 15; one end of the second movable part 20 is connected to the other end of the elastic part 12, and the other end of the second movable part 20 is connected to the second driving part 16; the elastic part 12 has an elastic force that makes the first movable part 19 and the second movable part 20 slide in a direction close to each other. It can better adapt to the shape of the track 1, ensure that the first gear and the second gear always clamp the track, and improve the safety and stability during the operation of the elevator.

[0101] Specifically, the fixing member 17, the first movable member 19 and the second movable member 20 are cylindrical structures, the first movable member 19 and the second movable member 20 are symmetrically arranged, the installation cavity 18 is a cylindrical installation cavity, which can be adapted to the structure of the elastic member 12, and the first movable member 19 and the second movable member 20 are located at one end of the installation cavity 18 with a retaining ring to prevent the first movable member 19 and the second movable member 20 from falling out of the installation cavity 18 when the force is large.

[0102] like Figure 4 As shown, in the curved tower elevator provided in this embodiment, the track 1 has a third side wall 21 and a fourth side wall 22, the third side wall 21 and the fourth side wall 22 are arranged opposite to each other, the symmetric center plane between the third side wall 21 and the fourth side wall 22 is the first center plane 23, the symmetric center plane between the first side wall 3 and the second side wall 5 is the second center plane 24, and the first center plane 23 and the second center plane 24 are perpendicular to each other. The first center plane 23 and the second center plane 24 are perpendicular to each other, so that the track 1 is more regular and the driving mechanism and the limiting mechanism can be better installed.

[0103] like Figure 4 As shown, in the curved tower elevator provided in this embodiment, the track 1 is an I-shaped structure, and the outer side walls of the two side wing plates of the track 1 are respectively the first side wall 3 and the second side wall 5. The setting of the I-shaped structure is convenient for the installation of the driving mechanism and the installation of the limit mechanism, so that the operation of the elevator is smoother. In addition, as an alternative embodiment, the track 1 can also be an H-shaped structure, or a rectangular steel structure, etc.

[0104] The curved tower elevator provided in this embodiment further includes a limiting mechanism, which is arranged on the track 1 and limits the driving mechanism from being separated from the track 1. Since the connection between the driving mechanism and the track 1 is through tooth meshing, it is easy for the teeth to be disengaged when subjected to external force. The setting of the limiting mechanism avoids the disengagement of the teeth during the movement and improves safety.

[0105] like Figures 3 to 6 As shown, the curved tower elevator provided in this embodiment has a limiting mechanism including an inner limiting assembly 25 and an outer limiting assembly 26. The inner limiting assembly 25 is arranged on the third side wall 21 or the fourth side wall 22, and the inner limiting assembly 25 is connected to the driving mechanism to limit the driving mechanism from being separated from the track 1 inwardly; the outer limiting assembly 26 has a limiting end 27, and the limiting end 27 is connected to the driving mechanism. During the movement, the limiting end 27 and the third side wall 21 or the fourth side wall 22 always maintain the same distance to limit the driving mechanism from being separated from the track 1 outwardly. The outer limiting assembly 26 cooperates with the inner limiting assembly 25 to prevent the driving mechanism from moving inwardly or outwardly, thereby improving the stability and safety of the elevator operation.

[0106] like Figure 6 As shown, in the curved tower elevator provided in this embodiment, the inner limit assembly 25 includes a connecting frame 28 and a moving wheel 30, the connecting frame 28 is connected to the telescopic assembly 11, and the connecting frame 28 has a connecting shaft 29; the moving wheel 30 is rotatably arranged on the connecting shaft 29, and the moving wheel 30 always fits the third side wall 21 or the fourth side wall 22. Not only the driving mechanism is limited in the inward direction, but the setting of the moving wheel 30 enables the inner limit assembly to move with the driving mechanism, and the limiting effect is always guaranteed, wherein the connecting frame 28 is connected to the fixing member 17 in the telescopic assembly 11 to avoid driving the connecting frame 28 to move a large amount when the first movable member 19 or the second movable member 20 is extended and retracted, and rod bodies are arranged at both ends of the connecting shaft 29, and the two rod bodies can be connected to the telescopic assembly 11 through a separate set of connecting rods, or the two rod bodies can be directly connected to the telescopic assembly 11.

[0107] like Figure 3 As shown, the curved tower elevator provided in this embodiment has two sets of drive mechanisms, and the two sets of drive mechanisms are symmetrically arranged along the first center plane 23. The arrangement of the two sets of drive mechanisms improves the clamping effect between the drive mechanisms and the track 1, and can also better adapt to emergencies that occur during movement. When one set of drive mechanisms has a problem, the operation of the other set of drive mechanisms will not cause the elevator to fall or other dangerous situations.

[0108] like Figure 3As shown, in the curved tower elevator provided in this embodiment, the two groups of driving mechanisms respectively have symmetrical inner limit assemblies 25, and the two groups of driving mechanisms are connected through the outer limit assemblies 26. The two groups of driving mechanisms are connected as one by one group of outer limit assemblies 26, and the cooperation with the two groups of inner limit assemblies 25 ensures that the two groups of driving mechanisms will not deviate from the track 1 during the movement, thereby improving the safety of the elevator operation. The outer limit assembly 26 is a rectangular frame structure, and one side wall of the rectangular frame has an opening, and the two ends of the opening are limit ends 27. The limit ends 27 located on both sides are respectively connected to the two groups of driving mechanisms, so that the two groups of driving mechanisms are connected as one.

[0109] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the curved tower elevator provided in this embodiment also includes a level detection member 31 and a control unit. The level detection member 31 is arranged on the telescopic assembly 11 to detect the level of the telescopic assembly 11; the control unit is electrically connected to the level detection member 31, the first drive assembly 7 and the second drive assembly 8 respectively. The level detection member 31 is used to detect the level of the telescopic assembly 11. When the level exceeds the set value, the control unit controls the first drive assembly 7 and the second drive assembly 8 to adjust the speed respectively, so that the telescopic assembly 11 can be quickly adjusted to a horizontal state and can smoothly pass through the inclined section on the track 1. The level detection member 31 is a level meter.

[0110] like Figure 1 As shown, in the curved tower elevator provided in this embodiment, one end of the mounting frame 14 is fixedly connected to the driving mechanism, and the other end of the mounting frame 14 is hinged to the car body 13. The hinged setting ensures that when passing through the inclined section, the elevator will not always be in an inclined state, and will return to a vertical state within a certain period of time, thereby reducing the discomfort caused by the inclined operation of the elevator.

[0111] Among them, Figure 7 As shown, the upper end of the car body 13 is hinged to the mounting frame 14 through a tripod. The tripod structure is stable and compact. It can also be other forms of structure. The mounting frame 14 and the car body 13 are connected by a hinge shaft, which has a restrictive effect on the car body 13, that is, the car body 13 can only rotate on one plane and will not rotate on all planes.

[0112] In the curved tower elevator provided in this embodiment, the other end of the mounting frame 14 is hinged with the car body 13 in a damping manner. The setting of the damping hinge provides a certain resistance when the elevator shakes, thereby improving the reliability and comfort of the elevator operation.

[0113] like Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, the curved tower elevator provided in this embodiment also includes a rotation limiter 32, which is arranged on the car body 13 or the mounting frame 14 to limit the rotation range of the car body 13 to avoid severe shaking under the action of inertia and collision and scratching against the track 1.

[0114] like Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, in the curved tower elevator provided in this embodiment, the rotation limiter 32 includes a fixing frame 33, the fixing frame 33 is fixedly arranged on the mounting frame 14, and the fixing frame 33 has a first blocking end 34 and a second blocking end 35, and the first blocking end 34 and the second blocking end 35 are respectively located on both sides of the car body 13. The first blocking end 34 and the second blocking end 35 of the fixing frame 33 respectively limit the shaking of the car body 13 in two directions to prevent the elevator from shaking too much, and the first blocking end 34 and the second blocking end 35 are length-adjustable structures, and the rotation angle range of the car body 13 can be changed by adjusting the length, and corresponding settings are made according to the conditions of the track 1 in different occasions, and the adaptability is strong.

[0115] Specifically, the first blocking end 34 and the second blocking end 35 have the same structure and are symmetrically arranged. The first blocking end 34 includes a fixed sleeve 40, a sliding sleeve 41 and a hinge seat 42. The fixed sleeve 40 is fixedly arranged on the fixed frame 33, and the sliding sleeve 41 can be slidably arranged in the fixed sleeve 40. After the sliding sleeve 41 slides to the specified position, it is connected to the fixed sleeve 40 by bolts. The hinge seat 42 is hinged to the bottom end of the fixed sleeve 40. After the car body 13 rotates, it first collides with the hinge seat 42. The hinged setting of the hinge seat 42 gives the car body 13 an early buffering effect during the rotation process, so that the car body 13 and the first blocking end 34 will not collide too violently.

[0116] like Figure 1 and Fig. 9 As shown, the curved tower elevator provided in this embodiment further includes a traction assembly 36, which is arranged at the bottom of the car body 13 to pull the car body 13 to a vertical state when the car body 13 is tilted. The traction assembly 36 includes a pendulum rod 37, which is vertically arranged at the bottom of the car body 13, the top of the pendulum rod 37 is hinged to the bottom of the car body 13, and a pendulum 38 is arranged at the bottom of the pendulum rod 37. When the car body 13 swings to one side, the pendulum 38 swings synchronously with the car body 13 due to a certain weight and inertia, and the pendulum 38 swings slightly lagging behind. Under the action of the torque pulling of the pendulum rod 37 and the pendulum 38, the car body 13 quickly swings back to a vertical state, ensuring the normal operation of the elevator.

[0117] like Fig. 9As shown, the curved tower elevator provided in this embodiment has an arc-shaped upper and lower part of the side wall of the car body 13 close to the track 1, and a buffer 39 is provided on the side wall of the car body 13 close to the track 1. Due to the interference of the track 1, the car body 13 is prone to scratching the track 1. The shape of the upper and lower arc surfaces reduces the frequency of scratching. The buffer 39 is provided so that the car body 13 dissipates energy and reduces shock when contacting the side wall of the tower 2 or the track 1, thereby improving the reliability and comfort of the elevator operation. The buffer 39 is a buffer pad, which is attached to the side wall of the car body 13.

[0118] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, in the curved tower elevator provided in this embodiment, the track 1 is connected to the tower 2 in the full height range through the tower plate 43. The connection in the full height range ensures the stability of the installation of the track 1, and avoids the instability of the track 1 after a long period of operation, which affects the operation and safety of the elevator.

[0119] This embodiment also provides a method for using a curved tower elevator, using the roof tower elevator described in the above embodiment, the curved tower elevator moves on the track 1, and when passing through the inclined section, the operating speed of the first drive assembly 7 and the second drive assembly 8 is adjusted so that the telescopic assembly 11 of the curved tower elevator is always kept horizontal, and the telescopic assembly 11 is quickly and automatically adjusted to the horizontal state to keep the car body 13 running in a horizontal and good state. Specifically, when the drive mechanism passes through the inclined section, while ensuring its horizontality, the telescopic assembly 11 is in a stretched state at this time.

[0120] The method for using the curved tower elevator provided in this embodiment is that a levelness detection member 31 is provided on the telescopic assembly 11, and the levelness detection member 31 detects the levelness of the telescopic assembly 11. During the movement, when the levelness exceeds the set value, the control unit controls the first drive assembly 7 or the second drive assembly 8 at a higher position to slow down the running speed, and the second drive assembly 8 or the first drive assembly 7 at a lower position to speed up the running speed until the telescopic assembly 11 is horizontal.

[0121] During the movement, when the level exceeds the set value, the control unit controls the first drive component 7 or the second drive component 8 in a higher position to slow down the running speed, and the second drive component 8 or the first drive component 7 in a lower position to speed up the running speed until the telescopic component 11 is level. Through the setting of the level detection part 31, the level of the telescopic component 11 can be measured quickly and accurately in real time, thereby improving the adjustment efficiency.

[0122] In the method for using the curved tower elevator provided in this embodiment, the driving mechanism has two groups, one of the two groups of the first driving components 7 is a spare part, and one of the two groups of the second driving components 8 is a spare part. The spare parts only make a following movement during the movement. When the first driving component 7 and the second driving component 8 driven by the spare parts fail, the two groups of following driving mechanisms are automatically put into operation under the program setting to ensure the operation of the device and the safety of personnel.

[0123] In the method for using the curved tower elevator provided in this embodiment, the first drive assembly 7 in one set of the drive mechanisms is a spare part, and the second drive assembly 8 in another set of the drive mechanisms is a spare part. That is, the two spare parts are in diagonal positions, and such an arrangement ensures that the two sets of drive mechanisms can better clamp the track and ensure the stability of the operation of the car body 13.

[0124] In the method for using the curved tower elevator provided in this embodiment, a traction assembly 36 is provided at the bottom of the car body 13, and the traction assembly 36 includes a pendulum rod 37 and a pendulum 38. The pendulum rod 37 is vertically provided at the bottom of the car body 13, and the top end of the pendulum rod 37 is hinged to the bottom of the car body 13, and the bottom of the pendulum rod 37 is provided with a pendulum 38;

[0125] When the curved tower elevator passes a corner during its movement, the car body 13 first swings to one side, and the car body 13 drives the pendulum rod 37 to swing synchronously, and the pendulum 38 swings later. Then, under the action of the pendulum rod 37 and the pendulum 38, the car body 13 swings back to a vertical state from an inclined state. Figures 10 to 13 As shown in FIG. 1 , it is a schematic diagram of the state change when the tower elevator passes through the corner on the track 1. Fig.10 As shown, the car body 13 is in a state before passing a corner; Fig.11 As shown, when passing a corner, the car body 13 first swings to one side, and the pendulum rod 37 swings synchronously with the car body 13. Since the pendulum 38 has a certain weight and inertia, the pendulum 38 swings slightly later; Fig.12 As shown, under the pulling action of the pendulum rod 37 and the pendulum 38, the car body 13 returns to its original position. Since the weight of the car body 13 is relatively large, the car body 13 returns to its original position earlier than the pendulum 38. Fig.13 As shown, the pendulum 38 further returns to its original position.

[0126] In this embodiment, each driving member is provided with a brake member, which is in a normally open state in the running and following states. When the operation stops, the brake member closes to lock the gear to ensure that the car body 13 does not slip. When abnormal conditions such as damage to the track 1 occur, each brake member is automatically locked under program control to further ensure the normal operation and safety and reliability of the car body 13.

[0127] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely examples for clear explanation, and are not intended to limit the implementation methods. For those skilled in the art, other different forms of changes or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is not necessary and impossible to list all the implementation methods here. The obvious changes or modifications derived from these are still within the scope of protection of the present invention.
