Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of elevator car counterweights, in particular to a counterweight device for auxiliary balancing of an elevator car. Background Art

[0002] When the cargo in the elevator car is unevenly placed, the elevator car will be unevenly stressed, which will increase the friction between the guide shoes and the guide rails of the car, causing the elevator car and the beam structure to bear uneven stress, increasing the wear of mechanical and electrical components such as the guide shoes, wire ropes, traction machines, traction machine drive modules, and reducers. When the elevator car is subjected to uneven stress for a long time, the various components of the elevator are continuously worn, and the car and the beam structure will deform to varying degrees, which will cause the elevator car to become skewed and lose balance, reducing the service life of the elevator and increasing maintenance costs. In the prior art, in order to avoid imbalance in the elevator car, a counterweight is usually set at the top or bottom of the elevator. By adjusting the position of the counterweight, the unbalanced side of the car is compensated, so that the force inside the elevator car is kept balanced.

[0003] In the process of balancing the elevator car, it is necessary to first determine the stress state of the car. The existing methods for determining the stress of the car usually include the following methods: 1. monitoring the pressure values ​​of the two sets of guide shoes on both sides of the car, 2. monitoring the pressure value of the bottom of the car, 3. or monitoring the tilt state of the bottom of the car;

[0004] As for the first monitoring method: since the existing guide shoes are fixed at the top and bottom of the car, and the guide shoes and the car are rigidly connected, the two sets of guide shoes are respectively matched with two guide rails, and each guide shoe is provided with three guide wheels, when the force inside the car is unbalanced, different force changes will occur on the two sets of guide shoes. This kind of force monitoring requires the installation of sensors on each guide wheel to monitor the force condition of each guide wheel, and then the controller's complex force calculation analysis can accurately determine the imbalance direction of the car, which is difficult to monitor, has high monitoring costs, and has high inspection and maintenance costs;

[0005] As for the second monitoring method: it is also necessary to install multiple pressure sensors at the bottom of the car, but the production cost is high, and due to frequent use, it is very easy to be damaged. In addition, when the cargo is large and needs to be placed at an angle, the top of the cargo needs to be leaning against the inner wall of the car, and the internal force conditions of the car cannot be accurately detected, which has limitations. As for the third monitoring method: China Patent Publication No.: CN114906701B is an elevator self-balancing adjustment device, which uses multiple distance meters to detect the change of the distance between the bottom of the car and the balance plate to judge the balance state of the car. In the public document, the balance plate and the car are movably connected by a telescopic spring, and the balance plate is slidably matched with the guide rail. This causes the balance plate to slide downward away from the car under the reaction force after being squeezed by the inclined side of the car, so that the distance between the car and the balance plate detected by the distance meter is inaccurate, the error is large, and the self-balancing of the elevator cannot be effectively achieved. In addition, the tilt amplitude of the car in the prior art solution is limited by the guide shoe and the deformation of the car. In fact, the tilt amplitude is very small, which leads to a very small range of variation of the distance between the car and the balance plate monitored by the distance meter, and the balance plate is slidably matched with the guide rail, which amplifies the detection error. Therefore, it is difficult for the prior art to effectively monitor the force condition of the car and to effectively balance and regulate the car, and there are technical difficulties in overcoming. Summary of the invention

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0022] 1. The counterweight device for auxiliary balancing of an elevator car in the example of the present invention fixes the car between the top beam and the base through a limit frame, so that when the car is subjected to unbalanced force, it will swing slightly with the universal joint 1 as the fulcrum. The occurrence of this small swing is monitored by the connecting rod driving the piston 2 to rise and fall inside the horizontal monitoring cylinder. The cooperation of the liquid guide tube and the piston 1 plays a role in amplifying the displacement change of the piston 2, so that when the piston 2 produces a small displacement, the rangefinder can sensitively detect the change in the vertical height of the piston 1, thereby realizing sensitive monitoring of the unbalanced force of the car, so that the controller can respond in time and control the leveling mechanism to compensate for the counterweight.

[0023] 2. In the elevator car and the auxiliary balancing counterweight device of the examples of the present invention, the adjusting column on the inner side of the limit frame will squeeze the side of the top frame under the action of the spring elastic force, and the adjusting columns on the four inner sides of the limit frame squeeze the side of the top frame with the same force, so that when the car is unloaded, the car is only subjected to the vertical downward gravity, and the bottom of the car is parallel to the top surface of the base. When the car is loaded and the force is uneven, and the top of the car tilts to one side, the inclined side of the top frame will squeeze the adjusting column. At this time, the spring will contract, and the adjusting column will slide a certain range toward the inside of the adjusting cylinder. The setting of the sliding range of the adjusting column allows the car to swing only a small amplitude, while ensuring the comfort of passengers riding the elevator, the monitoring cylinder can monitor the unbalanced force of the car.

[0024] 3. The counterweight device for auxiliary balancing of the elevator car in the example of the present invention has a coordinated arrangement of the liquid guiding tube, piston 1 and piston 2. When piston 2 moves down or up, the fluid inside the liquid guiding tube will change synchronously. Since the diameter of the liquid guiding tube is small, the moving range of piston 1 in the vertical section of the liquid guiding tube is several times that of piston 2 in the horizontal monitoring tube, thereby amplifying the displacement change of piston 2, so that the unbalanced force of the car can be sensitively monitored.

[0025] 4. In the counterweight device for auxiliary balancing of the elevator car of the example of the present invention, the arrangement of the transverse monitoring cylinder and the longitudinal monitoring cylinder can respectively monitor the transverse force and the longitudinal force of the car. According to the analysis of the force conditions, the two driving components in the leveling mechanism respectively control the two transverse counterweight blocks and the longitudinal counterweight blocks to compensate for the force imbalance in the transverse and longitudinal directions, so as to achieve the purpose of assisting the force balance of the car.

[0041] Example: Reference Figure 1-7 The illustrated elevator car auxiliary balancing counterweight device comprises a car 1, two sets of rigid sliding guide shoes 6, a leveling mechanism and two parallel guide rails 2, wherein a transverse counterweight block 12 and a longitudinal counterweight block 13 are slidably matched in the leveling mechanism, and further comprises a top beam 4 and a base 5, wherein two upright posts 3 are fixed between the top beam 4 and the base 5, and a controller 7 is fixedly mounted on the lower surface of the top beam 4, a limited position frame 8 is fixed between the two upright posts 3, and the top beam 4 and the base 5 are slidably matched between the two guide rails 2 through the rigid sliding guide shoes 6;

[0042] One set of rigid sliding guide shoes 6 is fixed on both sides of the upper surface of the top beam 4, and the other set of rigid sliding guide shoes 6 is fixed on both sides of the bottom of the base 5, and the rigid sliding guide shoes 6 are adapted to the guide rails 2;

[0043] A top frame 9 is fixed on the top of the car 1, and a leveling mechanism is fixed on the top of the top frame 9, and the top frame 9 is located inside the limit frame 8;

[0044] The four inner sides of the limit frame 8 are all slidably matched with adjustment columns 19, and one end of the adjustment column 19 abuts against the side of the top frame 9;

[0045] A universal joint 15 is fixed at the center of the bottom end of the car 1, and the universal joint 15 is rotatably connected to the top surface of the base 5. Monitoring tubes are fixed at four positions on the upper surface of the base 5. The four monitoring tubes can be classified into two horizontal monitoring tubes 21 and two longitudinal monitoring tubes 22. A piston 29 is slidably fitted in the monitoring tube, and a liquid guide tube 27 is fixedly connected to the inner bottom of the monitoring tube, and a piston 28 is slidably fitted on the inner side of the liquid guide tube 27. The connecting cavity between the piston 29 and the piston 28 is filled with fluid, and a support plate 24 is fixed on one side of two adjacent monitoring tubes, and a rangefinder 26 for measuring the horizontal height of the piston 28 is fixedly installed on the top of the support plate 24. A connecting rod 30 is rotatably connected to the top of the piston 29, and the top of the connecting rod 30 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the car 1, and the bottom of the support plate 24 is fixed to the top surface of the base 5.

[0046] In the present invention, the bottom of the car 1 is rotatably connected to the base 5 through a universal joint 15, and the adjusting columns 19 on the four inner sides of the limit frame 8 squeeze the sides of the top frame 9 with the same force, so that the car 1 is fixed between the top beam 4 and the base 5. When the car 1 is unloaded, the car 1 is only subjected to the vertical downward gravity, and the bottom of the car 1 is parallel to the top surface of the base 5. When the car 1 is loaded and the force is uneven, the top of the car 1 tilts to one side, and the inclined side of the top frame 9 squeezes the adjusting column 19. At this time, the adjusting column 19 slides within a preset range, which will cause the car 1 to swing slightly with the universal joint 15 as the fulcrum when the force is unbalanced, and the limit frame 8 limits the swing amplitude of the top frame 9. The car 1 is in the swinging process. In the embodiment, the bottom of the car 1 is no longer level with the base 5, and the car 1 drives the piston 29 to rise and fall inside the horizontal monitoring tube 21 through the connecting rod 30. During the downward or upward movement of the piston 29, the fluid inside the liquid guide tube 27 will change synchronously. The composition of the fluid is engine oil. Since the diameter of the liquid guide tube 27 is small, the moving range of the piston 1 28 in the vertical section of the liquid guide tube 27 is multiple times the moving range of the piston 29 in the horizontal monitoring tube 21. When the piston 29 has a small displacement, the distance meter 26 can sensitively detect the change in the vertical height of the piston 1 28, which plays a role in amplifying the displacement change of the piston 29, so that the unbalanced force of the car 1 can be sensitively monitored by the distance meter 26.

[0047] When one of the distance meters 26 detects that the piston 28 on one side of the lateral monitoring tube 21 rises and exceeds the preset height range, it indicates that the force on the side of the car 1 close to the distance meter 26 is unbalanced, and the force on the side of the car 1 close to the distance meter 26 is relatively large. At this time, the controller 7 will control the leveling mechanism to start, and the leveling mechanism controls the lateral counterweight block 12 to move laterally toward the side of the car 1 with less force, until the height of the piston 28 drops to within the preset height range, and the lateral counterweight block 12 stops moving; if the distance meter 26 detects that the height of the piston 28 drops and exceeds the preset height range, it indicates that the force on the side of the car 1 close to the distance meter 26 is relatively small, and the lateral counterweight block 12 moves to the side with less force to compensate for the force; this process can quickly assist in balancing the force on the car 1 in the lateral direction;

[0048] Another distance meter 26 cooperates with the longitudinal monitoring tube 22 to monitor the force balance in the longitudinal direction of the car 1. With the same judgment method and operation steps, the controller 7 controls the start of the leveling mechanism, and the leveling mechanism controls the longitudinal counterweight block 13 to move longitudinally and compensate for the side of the car 1 with less force in the longitudinal direction, thereby assisting in the force balance in the longitudinal direction of the car 1.

[0049] When the elevator is unloaded, the transverse counterweight 12 and the longitudinal counterweight 13 are both located at the top middle position of the car 1 , and the transverse counterweight 12 is located directly above the longitudinal counterweight 13 .
