Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of elevator shaft construction safety protection technology, and more specifically, relates to an integrated elevator shaft protection system and method. Background Technology

[0002] During building construction, elevator openings and shafts require protection to ensure safety and ease of construction. Elevator opening protection typically uses traditional fence-style or steel pipe railings anchored to the wall. Elevator shaft protection usually employs ground-mounted scaffolding, erected sequentially from bottom to top. The independent protection of horizontal and vertical elevator shaft openings is unsatisfactory in terms of construction time, cost, and safety, and subsequent dismantling is relatively troublesome. This is especially true for tall buildings, where elevator shaft protection requires extensive scaffolding erection, which is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive but also prone to instability.

[0003] While existing elevator shaft safety devices can be stably fixed to the wall, they lack horizontal opening protection, posing a risk of falling objects from height. Furthermore, the longitudinal members of existing elevator shaft safety devices are fixed and cannot be adjusted according to the size of the opening, and horizontal protection requires construction work within the elevator shaft, creating a risk of working at height.

[0004] Although some existing elevator shaft protection devices are movable, the protrusions on the top of the movable elevator shaft protection devices can easily cause secondary injuries in an accident, and the movable elevator shaft protection devices are also inconvenient to dismantle later. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the aforementioned deficiencies or improvement needs of existing technologies, this invention provides an integrated elevator shaft protection system and method. This system integrates protective doors and panels, effectively preventing construction personnel and equipment from accidentally entering the elevator shaft and significantly reducing the risk of safety accidents. The invention features a simple structure, modular design, and ease of installation and disassembly, improving construction efficiency. It solves the problems of low construction efficiency, instability, and inadequate early warning systems for high-altitude operations associated with existing protection methods. Furthermore, this invention is low-cost, has a long service life, and is easy to maintain and manage.
