Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of public safety facilities, in particular to a large-capacity transportation system and a transportation method. BACKGROUND

[0002] Traditional vertical transportation systems mainly include evacuation stairs, escalators and elevators. Evacuation stairs have simple structure and high reliability, but occupy large space and have limited passenger capacity and transportation speed. Escalators have large passenger capacity and can meet the demand of large passenger flow, but occupy large space, have high equipment cost, and cannot meet the needs of barrier-free and multi-luggage passengers. Elevators occupy small area, can meet the needs of barrier-free and multi-luggage passengers, but have limited passenger capacity and long round-trip time.

[0003] The existing vertical transportation system has many problems when facing the demand of large passenger flow, high efficiency, barrier-free and multi-luggage passengers. In large passenger flow places, deep space, shield stations and other projects, the passenger capacity of traditional evacuation stairs and elevators is limited, which is difficult to cope with the huge passenger flow and has low transportation efficiency. In addition, in the case of unable to excavate a large area, the design of the traditional transportation system has limitations. The single passenger capacity of the elevator is limited, the round-trip time is long, and it is difficult to be included in the fire calculation, so it is difficult to meet the transportation demand of complex projects. For multi-level platform transportation, the circulating transportation system does not have enough transfer time. SUMMARY

[0039] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments of the present application. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present application belong to the present application.

[0040] In addition, the described features, structures or characteristics can be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments. In the following description, many specific details are provided to give a sufficient understanding of the embodiments of the present application. However, one skilled in the art will realize that the technical solutions of the present application can be practiced without one or more of the specific details, or other methods, components, devices, steps, etc. can be used. In other cases, well-known methods, devices, implementations or operations are not shown or described in detail to avoid obscuring the aspects of the present application.

[0041] Please refer to Figures 1-6 The embodiment provides a large-capacity vertical transportation system, which comprises: a plurality of cars 1 for accommodating passengers for transportation; each car 1 is designed to accommodate a certain number of passengers so as to quickly transport a large number of people in an emergency. These cars 1 are integrally moved in a cycle to ensure the safety of passengers.

[0042] The upward shaft 2 is used to carry the car 1 to move upward at a constant speed; the upward shaft 2 is part of the vertical transportation system and is specially designed to carry the car 1 to move upward at a constant speed, which can ensure that passengers can be quickly and safely transported from the lower layer to the upper evacuation platform 5. The downward shaft 3 is used to carry the car 1 to move downward at a constant speed; the downward shaft 3 is responsible for carrying the car 1 to move downward at a constant speed, so that passengers can be quickly and safely transported from the upper layer to the lower evacuation platform 5. The two shaft systems are independent of each other but work closely together to achieve efficient vertical transportation.

[0043] The mechanical circulation system provides a circulating mechanical power for the circulating movement path of the car 1; the mechanical circulation system is the core power source of the entire transportation system, which can adopt reciprocating link device, gear device or track device, etc. to provide continuous and stable power, so as to ensure that the car 1 can stably circulate in the upward and downward shafts.

[0044] Multi-layer evacuation stairwell 4 is arranged next to the up-going shaft 2 and down-going shaft 3, and each evacuation stairwell 4 corresponds to an evacuation platform 5; the multi-layer evacuation stairwell 4 is arranged next to the up-going shaft and down-going shaft, and each evacuation stairwell is connected to an evacuation platform 5, which facilitates the quick conversion of passengers between different floors, and the design of the evacuation stairwell 4 not only provides a vertical moving platform, but also ensures multiple safety guarantees in emergency situations.

[0045] At the lower side of each evacuation platform 5 on a non-ground floor, two first conversion shafts 6 are arranged towards the up-going shaft 2, which are used to guide the car 1 to move obliquely upwards from the up-going shaft 2 to the evacuation platform 5 during the up-going process, and then guide the car 1 to move horizontally from the evacuation platform 5 to the up-going shaft 2, and the car 1 alternately enters different first conversion shafts 6; and two second conversion shafts 7 are arranged towards the down-going shaft 3, which are used to guide the car 1 to move horizontally from the down-going shaft 3 to the evacuation platform 5 during the down-going process, and then guide the car 1 to move obliquely downwards from the evacuation platform 5 to the down-going shaft 3, and the car 1 alternately enters different second conversion shafts 7.

[0046] During the up-going process, one of the first conversion shafts 6 guides the car 1 to move obliquely upwards to the evacuation platform 5 during the up-going process, and moves out of the projection range of the up-going shaft 2, and this oblique upward movement ensures that the car 1 can smoothly transition to the platform 5, allowing passengers to smoothly transfer. Then, the car 1 moves horizontally back to the up-going shaft 2 and replaces the original stress position of the next car 1, preparing to continue up-going or moving to the down-going shaft 3 (top floor), and in this process, the next car 1 is guided by the other first conversion shaft 6 to move obliquely upwards to the other side of the evacuation platform 5 during the up-going process, and by alternately using different first conversion shafts 6, the system effectively increases the transfer time and improves the transportation efficiency.

[0047] Similarly, each non-ground floor evacuation platform 5 is also provided with two second conversion shafts 7, which are used exclusively for the down-going process. One of the second conversion shafts 7 guides the car 1 to move horizontally to the evacuation platform 5 during the down-going process, and moves out of the projection range of the down-going shaft 3, allowing passengers to smoothly transfer. Then, the car 1 moves obliquely downwards back to the down-going shaft 3 and replaces the original stress position of the next car 1, preparing to continue down-going, and in this process, the next car 1 is guided by the other second conversion shaft 7 to move horizontally to the other side of the evacuation platform 5 during the down-going process. By alternately using different second conversion shafts 7, the system can also effectively increase the transfer time during the down-going process, ensuring smooth and efficient transportation.

[0048] Furthermore, the design of the two transfer shafts effectively diverts passenger transfers at each evacuation platform 5. When passengers in the previous car 1 transfer on one side, passengers in the next car 1 transfer on the other side, avoiding concentrated transfers at the same location. Through this alternating transfer method, the system achieves effective passenger diversion, reduces congestion during transfers, and improves transfer efficiency and safety.

[0049] The upward stairwell 2 and downward stairwell 3 are arranged in parallel. The two first transfer stairwells 6 of the non-top-floor evacuation platform 5 are arranged on the front and right sides respectively, and the two second transfer stairwells 7 of the non-top-floor evacuation platform 5 are arranged on the front and left sides respectively. The two first transfer stairwells 6 of the top-floor evacuation platform 5 are arranged on the front and rear sides respectively, and the two second transfer stairwells 7 of the top-floor evacuation platform 5 are arranged on the front and rear sides respectively.

[0050] Please see Figures 1-3 In some embodiments, the ascending elevator shaft 2 and the descending elevator shaft 3 are arranged side by side. On the evacuation platform 5 (excluding the top floor), two first transfer elevator shafts 6 are located at the front and right sides of the platform 5, respectively, at a 90° angle. This design optimizes the ascending path of the elevator car 1, ensuring that passengers can easily enter the car 1 from different positions. Similarly, two second transfer elevator shafts 7 are located at the front and left sides of the platform 5, also at a 90° angle, for the smooth entry of the descending car 1 from different positions. On the top-floor evacuation platform 5, considering shortening the lateral movement path of the car 1 and improving transportation efficiency, the two first transfer elevator shafts 6 are located at the front and rear, respectively, to ensure efficient transportation of passengers on the top floor. The two second transfer elevator shafts 7 on the top floor are also located at the front and rear to facilitate transportation during the descending process.

[0051] Please see Figures 4-6 In other embodiments, the ascending elevator shaft 2 and descending elevator shaft 3 are arranged in a front-to-back configuration. The two first transfer elevator shafts 6 of the evacuation platform 5 are located at the front and rear, respectively, and the two second transfer elevator shafts 7 of the evacuation platform 5 are also located at the front and rear, respectively. In this embodiment, the ascending elevator shaft 2 and descending elevator shaft 3 are arranged in a front-to-back configuration, which makes space utilization more efficient. The two first transfer elevator shafts 6 of the evacuation platform 5 are located at the front and rear of the platform 5, respectively, ensuring that passengers can enter the ascending car 1 from either the front or the rear. Similarly, the two second transfer elevator shafts 7 of the evacuation platform 5 are also located at the front and rear, respectively, facilitating passenger access to the descending car 1. This layout may be more suitable for certain specific building structures, helping to optimize space utilization and improve transportation efficiency.

[0052] Further, the car 1 includes a bottom lifting platform 8 and a surrounding fence 9, one side of which is an elevator door for passengers to enter and exit the car 1, and the lifting platform 8 is flush with the ground of the evacuation platform 5 when it moves to the evacuation platform 5. The lifting platform 8 of the car 1 is used to directly bear the force of the mechanical circulation system and the lap joint of the conversion shaft, driving the car 1 to move. The car 1 is surrounded by the fence 9, which ensures the safety of passengers when they are riding. One side of the fence 9 is equipped with an elevator door, which is specially used for passengers to enter and exit the car 1. When the lifting platform 8 moves to the evacuation platform 5, the height of the lifting platform 8 is flush with the ground of the evacuation platform 5, which facilitates the smooth and safe entry and exit of passengers into the car 1. This design takes into account the convenience and safety of passengers, and is especially suitable for rapid and safe personnel transfer in emergency transportation.

[0053] In this embodiment, the mechanical circulation system is responsible for providing the power for the car 1 to move in the up and down shafts. The system can adopt a reciprocating lever device, which uses mechanical linkages to achieve stable reciprocating motion; or a gear device, which provides smooth power transmission through gear transmission; or a track device, which uses the continuous circulation of the track to drive the car 1 to move up and down. Each device has its own advantages, and the most suitable mechanical circulation system can be selected according to the actual application requirements to ensure the stable operation and efficient transportation of the car 1.

[0054] In addition, each evacuation platform 5 is provided with a queuing area 10, which provides a space for passengers to wait and enter in an orderly manner. In the bottom evacuation platform 5, the car 1 moves from the down shaft 3 to the queuing area 10, and after the passengers change, the car 1 moves to the up shaft 2 to start a new cycle. In the top evacuation platform 5, the car 1 moves from the up shaft 2 to the queuing area 10, and after the passengers change, the car 1 moves to the down shaft 3, ensuring smooth and safe transportation throughout the process. Such a design ensures that passengers between floors can efficiently and safely change, avoiding confusion and congestion during transportation. By setting up the queuing area 10, passenger flow can be effectively managed, and transportation efficiency can be improved.

[0055] Please refer to Figure 4 Another embodiment of the present application describes a transportation method based on the above large-capacity transportation system, comprising the following steps:

[0056] S1, in the bottom evacuation platform 5, the passengers to be transported are guided to the corresponding queuing area 10 of the down shaft 3 to wait for change;

[0057] In this step, when the transportation system starts, passengers from different areas on the bottom floor are guided to the corresponding queuing area 10 of the down shaft 3. This queuing area 10 is a specially designed space for passengers to wait in an orderly manner to enter the car 1 for transportation.

[0058] S2, control the car 1 to move from the down-going shaft 3 to the queuing area 10, open the elevator door, and close the elevator door after the passengers have changed over;

[0059] In this step, the control system moves the car 1 from the down-going shaft 3 to the queuing area 10. When the car 1 reaches the queuing area 10, the elevator door is automatically opened and the passengers can enter the car 1. After all the passengers have entered, the elevator door is closed and the car 1 is ready for the next step of the operation.

[0060] S3, control the car 1 to move horizontally from the queuing area 10 to the up-going shaft 2, and control the car 1 to move at a constant speed upward in the up-going shaft 2;

[0061] In this step, the car 1 moves horizontally from the queuing area 10 to the up-going shaft 2. Once the car 1 enters the up-going shaft 2, the control system ensures that the car 1 moves at a constant speed upward so that the passengers can be transported upward smoothly and safely.

[0062] S4, when the car 1 approaches the evacuation platform 5 of the target floor, guide the car 1 to move diagonally upward from the up-going shaft 2 to the evacuation platform 5 of the floor via one of the first transfer shafts 6 of the floor, and after the passengers have changed over, move the car 1 horizontally from the evacuation platform 5 to the up-going shaft 2, guide the next car 1 to move diagonally upward from the up-going shaft 2 to the evacuation platform 5 of the floor via the other first transfer shaft 6 of the floor, and after the passengers have changed over, move the car 1 horizontally from the evacuation platform 5 to the up-going shaft 2;

[0063] In this step, when the car 1 approaches the evacuation platform 5 of the target floor, the first transfer shaft 6 starts to function to guide the car 1 to move diagonally upward to the evacuation platform 5. After the passengers have changed over at the platform 5, the car 1 moves horizontally from the evacuation platform 5 back to the up-going shaft 2. Subsequently, the next car 1 is guided by the other first transfer shaft 6 to perform a similar operation. This alternating use of the transfer shafts 6 ensures sufficient changing-over time and improved transportation efficiency.

[0064] S5, when the car 1 reaches the evacuation platform 5 of the top floor, open the elevator door, and close the elevator door after the passengers have changed over at the queuing area 10;

[0065] In this step, when the car 1 reaches the evacuation platform 5 of the top floor, the elevator door is opened and the passengers change over at the queuing area 10. After the change over is completed, the elevator door is closed and the car 1 is ready to enter the down-going cycle.

[0066] S6, control the car 1 to move horizontally from the queuing area 10 to the down-going shaft 3, and control the car 1 to move at a constant speed downward in the down-going shaft 3;

[0067] In this step, the control system moves the car 1 from the queuing area 10 to the down-going shaft 3. Once the car 1 enters the down-going shaft 3, it moves at a constant speed downward to ensure that the passengers are transported downward safely and smoothly.

[0068] S7, when the car 1 approaches the evacuation platform 5 of the target floor, the car 1 is guided by one of the second transfer shafts 7 to move horizontally from the down-going shaft 3 to the evacuation platform 5, and after the passengers are transferred, the car 1 is guided to move obliquely downward from the evacuation platform 5 to the down-going shaft 3, the next car 1 is guided by another second transfer shaft 7 to move horizontally from the down-going shaft 3 to the evacuation platform 5, and after the passengers are transferred, the car 1 is guided to move obliquely downward from the evacuation platform 5 to the down-going shaft 3;

[0069] In this step, when the car 1 approaches the evacuation platform 5 of the target floor, the second transfer shaft 7 guides the car 1 to move horizontally to the evacuation platform 5 for passenger transfer. After the transfer is completed, the transfer shaft 7 guides the car 1 to move obliquely downward back to the down-going shaft 3. The next car 1 is guided by another second transfer shaft 7 to perform similar operations. This alternating use of the transfer shaft 7 ensures sufficient transfer time and improved transportation efficiency.

[0070] S8, after the car 1 reaches the evacuation platform 5 of the bottom floor, the elevator door is opened, and the passengers are transferred in the queuing area 10;

[0071] In this step, when the car 1 reaches the evacuation platform 5 of the bottom floor, the elevator door is opened, and the passengers are transferred in the queuing area 10. This step provides preparation for the end of the transportation cycle and the start of a new transportation cycle.

[0072] S9, repeat the above steps until the transportation process is completed.

[0073] In the last step, the above steps are repeated to ensure that all passengers complete the transportation safely and orderly. The system operates continuously and efficiently throughout the process until all passengers who need transportation have arrived safely at the designated evacuation platform 5.

[0074] The car 1 moves at a constant speed without interruption, and the time of each step is accurately calculated and fixed. The time for a car 1 to rise to the height of the previous car 1 is equal to the time for the car 1 to complete transfer at the evacuation platform 5 and move back to the shaft. The time for a car 1 to descend to the height of the previous car 1 is equal to the time for the car 1 to move to the evacuation platform 5 and complete the transfer.

[0075] In this embodiment, the car 1 maintains uninterrupted uniform motion throughout the transportation process. The time for each step is precisely calculated and fixed, ensuring the high efficiency and order of system operation. For example, the time required for a car 1 to move from the current height to the height of the previous car 1 is equal to the time for the car 1 to complete the transfer at the evacuation platform 5 and return to the shaft, and the time for a car 1 to descend to the height of the previous car 1 is equal to the time for the car 1 to move to the evacuation platform 5 and complete the transfer. This time matching design can ensure the orderly operation of the car 1, optimize the transportation process, and improve transportation efficiency.

[0076] The stop height interval of all cars 1 is uniform and matches the height of the evacuation platform 5 of the evacuation stairwell 4. When the up shaft 2 and the down shaft 3 cannot work normally due to power failure or failure, the car 1 will stop at the nearest evacuation platform 5 of the evacuation stairwell 4 matching its height, and the elevator door of the car 1 will be opened, allowing passengers to directly enter the evacuation stairwell 4 through the evacuation platform 5 of the evacuation stairwell 4 for evacuation.

[0077] In this embodiment, the stop height interval of all cars 1 is uniform, and the height at which each car 1 stops matches the height of the evacuation platform 5 of the evacuation stairwell 4, ensuring that passengers can safely and conveniently get on and off the car 1 at each platform 5, reducing the height difference that may occur during transportation, and further improving the safety and efficiency of transportation. In an emergency, such as power failure or failure of the system, the car 1 will automatically stop at the nearest evacuation platform 5 of the evacuation stairwell 4 matching its height. The elevator door is automatically opened, and passengers can directly enter the evacuation stairwell 4 through the evacuation platform 5 of the evacuation stairwell 4 for evacuation. This design ensures that even in the event of system failure, passengers can still safely and orderly evacuate.

[0078] Further, the up car group as a whole is slightly heavier than the down car group, to ensure that in an emergency, the circulating car group will slowly move in the opposite direction under the action of the lever force. In an emergency, such as power failure, the circulating car group can be slowly moved in the opposite direction using the lever principle, ensuring that passengers can be transported step by step and safely in an emergency. At the same time, a Y-shaped elastic buckle is provided in each evacuation platform 5 height shaft, to ensure that when an emergency occurs, the car group will slowly stop at the nearest evacuation platform 5. The Y-shaped elastic buckle does not work when the car 1 moves in the positive direction, but when the car 1 moves in the opposite direction in an emergency, it blocks the falling of the car 1. There are many ways to achieve this purpose, not limited to this way. Compared with traditional elevators, this lifting system theoretically does not require emergency rescue and has no falling risk. Traditional elevators have only one car, which may be stuck between two floors in an accident, requiring emergency rescue, and there is a risk of rope breakage and car falling.

[0079] In summary, the present application proposes a large-capacity vertical transportation system and transportation method that integrates the functions of elevators and escalators, effectively solving many problems of existing vertical transportation systems when facing large passenger flow, high efficiency, barrier-free and multi-luggage passenger demand. By setting two conversion shafts on each evacuation platform 5, effective diversion of passenger transfer is achieved, avoiding congestion during the transfer process, significantly improving transportation efficiency and safety. The system design of the present application includes multiple cars 1, up shafts 2, down shafts 3, mechanical circulation systems and multi-layer evacuation staircases 4, ensuring that passengers can quickly and safely transport vertically in emergency situations. The uniform motion of the car 1 and the precise calculation of the time matching design, as well as the automatic parking function in emergency situations, further improve the reliability of the system. The circulating car 1 and the design of the conversion shaft play an important role in the present application, with two conversion shafts set on each evacuation platform 5, realizing the alternating transfer of the car 1 during the up and down processes, effectively increasing the transfer time, reducing the waiting time and improving the transportation efficiency. Through this design, passengers can orderly and efficiently complete transportation, and the overall operation of the system is more smooth and safe.

[0080] In summary, the present application not only innovates in design, fully considers the safety and transportation efficiency of passengers, but also realizes efficient and reliable vertical transportation through ingenious mechanical and control system design. The system can be widely used in all large passenger flow places, including shield stations, other stations, comprehensive transportation hubs, airports, deep space, civil buildings, industrial buildings, etc., providing an ideal transportation solution for modern construction projects.
