Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of elevators, and in particular to an elevator that automatically compensates for traction force and a compensation method using the elevator. Background Art

[0002] Most modern elevators are traction elevators, which mainly include traction machines, traction ropes, guide wheels, car return rope wheels, counterweight return rope wheels, and compensation chains. During the operation of the traction elevator, the length of the traction ropes on the car side and the counterweight side is constantly changing, which causes the weight of the traction ropes on both sides of the traction wheel to change. When the car is at the lowest floor station, most of the weight of the traction rope acts on the car side; and when the car is at the highest floor station, most of the weight of the traction rope acts on the counterweight side. This change has little effect on the operating performance of the elevator when the elevator lifting height is not large, but when the elevator lifts above a certain height, it will seriously affect the stability of the elevator operation and endanger the safety of passengers. Therefore, an elevator compensation device is needed to balance the weight change caused by the height change of the elevator. Summary of the invention

[0008] S1. Obtain the traction wire rope tension T1 on the counterweight side and the traction wire rope tension T2 on the car side detected by the counterweight pressure sensor and the car pressure sensor, and judge whether T1≥T2.

[0009] S2. Determine whether the traction wire rope tension T1 on the counterweight side and the traction wire rope tension T2 on the car side satisfy the following relationship:

[0012] If the determination result satisfies the relational expression, the process proceeds to step S3; if the determination result does not satisfy the relational expression, the elevator is running normally;

[0013] S3, start compensation, the compensation clamping structure is driven to clamp the compensation wire rope, so that the compensation wire rope on the car side is subjected to tension F, and re-enter step S1;

[0014] S4, determine whether compensation is started, if compensation is started, go to step S5; if compensation is not started, the elevator runs normally;

[0015] S5. Gradually drive the compensating clamping structure to loosen the compensating steel wire rope, and re-enter S1.

[0016] As a preferred technical solution, in step S3, the pulling force F satisfies the following relationship:
