AI Technical Summary
The existing elevator counterweight device requires the installation of cables to detect the jamming of the anti-rope sheave, which is a complicated and time-consuming detection method.
The bearing jamming protection device includes an axle baffle, a spring mounting arm, a wire rope, an upper spring baffle, and a lower spring baffle. The axle is connected to the upper spring baffle via the wire rope. The spring pulls up the counterweight safety clamp to brake it. Combined with the counterweight safety clamp action detection system, the motor current change is detected to determine the fault.
It enables accurate detection of anti-reverse pulley jamming without the need for additional cable installation, and immediately triggers the counterweight safety clamp brake when the bearing jams, improving the accuracy and timeliness of the detection.

TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the elevator technical field, specifically to a kind of elevator counterweight device with bearing jamming protection device. BACKGROUND
[0002] The elevator counterweight device has a pair of bearing plates for carrying counter sheave, installation hole is opened in bearing plate, the two ends of wheel shaft are respectively inserted in the installation hole of a pair of bearing plates, counter sheave is set on the middle part of wheel shaft by rolling bearing, recess is opened in the circumferential surface of wheel shaft, and clamping plate is fixed in recess by the cooperation of bolt and nut on bearing plate, to realize the positioning of wheel shaft. Steel wire rope is wound in the rope groove of counter sheave, for driving the lifting of elevator car. When rolling bearing is in normal work, the rolling friction of counter sheave is very small, which facilitates the traction movement of steel wire rope in the rope groove of counter sheave, but when rolling bearing is broken and stuck, counter sheave will also be stuck, which will inevitably lead to the serious damage of steel wire rope in the rope groove of counter sheave during the operation of elevator, and even the breakage of clamping plate bolt due to the sudden application of torque, which will cause the repeated wear of wheel shaft in installation hole, and finally lead to the broken axle of counter sheave and the falling of car.
[0003] In order to detect whether counter sheave is jammed, document CN201820574752.2 discloses a technical solution, which sets two protrusions on the outer edge surface of the two sides of counterweight wheel, sets locking snap ring on the rotating shaft of the two sides of counterweight wheel, sets photoelectric sensor and buzzer alarm on each group of locking snap ring, and uses photoelectric sensor to directly face the protrusion, so that the photoelectric sensor can detect whether the protrusion passes through the photoelectric sensor in real time during the rotation of counterweight wheel, which can detect whether the counterweight wheel and the rotating shaft exist relative rotation, and can detect whether the bearing in counterweight wheel is stuck in real time. However, the following problems exist: 1) photoelectric sensor and buzzer alarm are used, and the control system is connected, which needs to arrange cable on the side of counterweight, which is relatively complex. 2) the alarm way is only buzzer alarm, and the monitoring data is only fed back to the control system, which needs to be checked by detection personnel, and the timeliness is not good.
[0004] Document CN201120481117.8 discloses another technical solution, which positions wheel shaft by elastic element, but does not stick wheel shaft, when rolling bearing is broken and invalid, and then bearing is jammed or stuck, if elevator is running at this time, the safety switch is hit by the switch plate fixed on wheel shaft under the traction force of steel wire rope, to send stop running signal, to force elevator to stop running, to avoid the serious wear of steel wire rope or wheel shaft, and even the broken axle of sheave. However, the following problems exist: 1) safety switch is used, and cable needs to be arranged on the side of counterweight, which is relatively complex. SUMMARY
