Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of elevator car, in particular to a buffer brake device for preventing elevator car from falling and colliding with the top. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the rapid development of China's social economy, the scale of cities continues to expand, and the population density is increasingly concentrated. High-rise buildings are springing up like mushrooms across the country. As an important equipment for vertical transportation of high-rise buildings, the application range of elevators is becoming wider and wider. According to statistics, more than two-thirds of the population in some modern cities basically live in the air, and they rely on various elevators to work, live and entertain in the space 10m above the ground every day.

[0003] With the rapid growth of the use of elevators, the number of elevator accidents is also increasing. In the past elevator accidents, the collision and squatting caused serious personal and property damage, and the social attention was high. The impact is also larger. However, in the process of continuous improvement and perfection of the current elevator safety protection device and system, it mainly focuses on the control and monitoring link, and pays attention to the prevention in advance. There is little progress in the safety protection measures that can be taken after the accident. Especially when the car collides with the top and squats at the bottom, the current protection mainly uses the traditional buffer type and the uplink overspeed protection device. However, the traditional buffer type has limited protection effect when the car is in a high speed state and the structure often causes secondary damage to the car. The uplink overspeed protection device also fails to protect when it is close to the top position, and cannot prevent the collision. Therefore, it is necessary to improve it according to the above defects. SUMMARY

[0004] The present invention aims to provide a buffer brake device for preventing elevator cars from falling and hitting the top, so as to solve the problem raised in the above-mentioned background art that with the rapid growth of elevator usage, the number of elevator accidents has also shown a growing trend. In the past, elevator accidents caused by hitting the top and hitting the bottom have caused serious personal and property damage, faced high social attention, and caused a large level of impact. However, in the process of continuous improvement and perfection of current elevator safety protection devices and systems, the focus has mainly been on control and monitoring links, emphasizing pre-emptive prevention, while there has been little progress in safety protection measures that can be taken after the accident occurs. In particular, when accidents of hitting the top and hitting the bottom occur, traditional buffer types and upward overspeed protection devices are currently mainly used for protection. However, it has been proven that traditional buffer types have limited protective effects when the car is at a high speed and a top and bottom accident occurs. Moreover, due to their structural characteristics, they often cause secondary damage to the car. Similarly, the upward overspeed protection often fails to protect the car when it is close to the top floor and cannot play a role in preventing hitting the top.

[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a buffer brake device for preventing an elevator car from falling and hitting the top, comprising: a guide rail, a car being provided on one side of the guide rail;

[0006] A side panel is installed on one side of the car, a limit plate is installed on the upper and lower sides of the side panel respectively, a buffer mechanism is installed on the other side of the limit plate, a mounting rod is installed on the lateral side of the side panel, a rail clamping device is installed on the other end of the mounting rod, and a sliding block is installed on the inner wall of one extending end of the rail clamping device.

A guide bar is fixedly mounted on the outer walls on both sides of the top of the movable column, and an extrusion bar is fixedly mounted on the outer wall on the other side of the top of the movable column.

[0008] Preferably, the connecting ends of the movable column, the guide bar and the extrusion bar pass through the limiting plate and are movably plugged into the inside of the side plate, and the side surface shape of the extrusion bar is a right-angled triangle structure.

[0009] Preferably, an indented semicircular strip groove is respectively provided on both sides of the guide rail, and the rail clamping device is movably connected to the indented semicircular strip groove via a sliding block.

[0010] Preferably, the rail clamping device comprises a transmission rod, a transmission plate, a second spring, a pressing rod, a friction plate, a convex point and a friction groove, one end of the transmission rod is fixedly connected with the transmission plate, the other side of the transmission plate is fixedly connected with the second spring, the inside of the second spring is sleeved with the pressing rod, the other end of the pressing rod is fixedly connected with the friction plate, the other side of the friction plate is fixedly installed with the convex point, and the convex point and the friction plate are movably installed in the inside of the friction groove.

[0011] Preferably, one end of the transmission rod is movably inserted in the inside of the rail clamping device, the other end of the transmission rod is movably inserted in the inside of the mounting rod, and the end of the transmission rod is movably connected with the outer wall of the pressing strip.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the rail clamping device has the beneficial effects that:

[0014] 1. When the elevator car descends uncontrollably, the car will drive the bottom buffer mechanism to approach the ground, and when the buffer mechanism contacts the ground, the movable column will shrink towards the inside of the side plate under the impact of the ground, so that the movable column will mobilize the pressing strip to move towards the inside of the side plate, the pressing strip will drive the transmission rod and the pressing rod to move towards one side of the guide rail when moving, so that the pressing rod will drive the friction plate and the convex point to be extruded and rubbed between the friction grooves, so that the descending speed of the car can be slowed down through the structure, and finally when the friction force between the friction plate and the friction groove is greater than or equal to the weight of the car, the car can stop descending, so that the function of preventing the car from falling can be achieved through the mechanism.

[0015] 2. When the elevator car normally operates, the second spring will drive the transmission rod to reset, so as to contact the extrusion and rubbing force between the friction plate and the friction groove, so that the car can normally operate. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS
