Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of traction machines, and in particular to a traction wheel structure used in an elevator traction machine. Background Art

[0002] The elevator traction machine is the power equipment of the elevator, which is used to transport and transfer power so that the elevator can run normally. One end of the wire rope is connected to the car through the traction wheel, and the other end is connected to the counterweight device. Under the action of gravity, friction is generated between the wire rope and the traction wheel groove. When the traction machine is started, the car and the counterweight device can be forced to move relative to each other (that is, the car rises and the counterweight falls; the counterweight rises and the car falls) to perform the vertical transportation task of the elevator car; However, since the up and down movement of the elevator car depends on the friction between the wire rope and the traction wheel groove, during the long-term operation of the elevator, as the traction wheel groove and the wire rope are worn or their surface is seriously oily, the friction between the wire rope and the traction wheel groove will decrease, causing slippage and causing the elevator to suddenly stop or lose control, posing a major safety hazard.

[0003] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a traction wheel structure used in an elevator traction machine to solve the defects existing in the above-mentioned existing elevator traction machines during actual use. Summary of the invention

[0004] The present application proposes a traction wheel structure for an elevator traction machine, which has the advantages of effectively improving the friction between the wire rope and the traction wheel groove, making it less likely to slip during operation, and having high safety and reliability. It is used to solve the problem that the up and down movement of the elevator car depends on the friction between the wire rope and the traction wheel groove. During the long-term operation of the elevator, as the traction wheel groove and the wire rope are worn or their surfaces are seriously oily, the friction between the wire rope and the traction wheel groove will decrease, which will cause slipping and cause the elevator to suddenly stop or lose control, posing a major safety hazard.

[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present application adopts the following technical scheme: a traction wheel structure for an elevator traction machine, comprising a traction wheel fixedly mounted on the output shaft of the traction machine, and a plurality of grooves arranged in a ring array are opened on the wheel groove of the traction wheel, and a clamping block component made of elastic material is clamped on the groove, and then when the steel wire rope above the traction wheel groove is subjected to force, the top ends of both sides of the clamping block component can be forced to deform inwardly to form an extrusion on the surface of the steel wire rope, and the clamping block component comprises a U-shaped block clamped in the groove, a connecting rod is provided inside the top end of the U-shaped block, and a steel top ball is fixedly installed in the middle of the outer surface of the connecting rod, and then when the two sides of the top end of the U-shaped block are deformed inwardly, the outer surface of the top ball can be clamped in the spiral gap of the steel wire rope to form an extrusion on the surface of the steel wire rope. The friction between the traction wheel and the wire rope is effectively improved, so that the elevator is not prone to slipping during operation. Because the wire rope is composed of several groups of steel wires twisted together in a spiral according to certain rules, there is a gap arranged in a rotating structure on the outer surface of the wire rope. A group of positioning plates are respectively provided on both sides of the left and right end faces of the U-shaped block, and then a group of card slot structures are formed on the end face of the U-shaped block, and a group of end covers are respectively fixedly installed on the left and right ends of the wheel groove on the traction wheel by bolts, and a group of card plates arranged in a ring array and corresponding to the card slots on the U-shaped block are provided on the inner end face of the end cover, and then the U-shaped block is fixed in the groove on the traction wheel through the card plate on the end cover, so that the traction wheel and the structure thereon are not prone to shaking during operation.

[0006] Furthermore, the connecting rod is configured as a screw structure, and both ends of the connecting rod are transmission-connected with the internal threads of the U-shaped block, so that when the top ball is staggered with the spiral gap on the wire rope, the top ball can be forced to rotate left and right to get stuck in the spiral gap on the wire rope during the process of the U-shaped block deforming and squeezing the top ball.

[0007] Furthermore, both ends of the connecting rod are arranged as inclined structures and are in contact with the end surface of the limiting rod slidably connected to the U-shaped block. At the same time, an elastic member is movably sleeved on one side of the outer surface of the limiting rod to form an elastic connection with the U-shaped block. When the top ball is not subjected to force, the connecting rod and the top ball thereon are forced to rotate in the opposite direction under the action of the inclined structure and the elastic force of the elastic member, so that the top ball returns to its initial position.

[0008] Furthermore, the bottom of the inner cavity of the U-shaped block is set to an arc structure with the same arc as the wheel groove on the traction wheel, ensuring that after the U-shaped block is squeezed and moved downward, it can cooperate with the traction wheel to form a complete wheel groove structure, thereby effectively reducing the scratches caused to the wire rope.

[0009] Furthermore, the end cover is configured as a full-circular structure at the outer end of the traction wheel, and is configured as a semicircular structure at the inner end of the traction wheel, thereby facilitating installation and removal of the end cover to replace damaged block components.

[0010] Furthermore, a vent hole connected to the interior of the U-shaped block is provided at the side end thereof to balance the air pressure inside and outside the limit rod when the limit rod moves left and right, thereby making the top ball more flexible when moving to ensure that it can be stably stuck in the spiral gap on the wire rope.

[0011] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: 1. The present application provides a traction wheel structure for an elevator traction machine. Regarding the arrangement of the clamping block component and the structure thereon, when both sides of the top end of the U-shaped block are deformed inward, the outer surface of the top bead can be clamped in the spiral gap of the wire rope to effectively increase the friction between the wheel groove on the traction wheel and the wire rope, so that the elevator is not prone to slipping during operation, and has high safety and reliability.

[0012] 2. The present application provides a traction wheel structure for an elevator traction machine. For the setting of the limit rod and the structure thereon, when the top ball is not subjected to force, the connecting rod and the top ball thereon can be forced to rotate in the opposite direction under the action of the inclined structure and the elastic force of the elastic member, so that the top ball returns to its initial position. Therefore, in the process of continuous rotation of the traction wheel and the clamping block component thereon, the normal operating state of the top ball thereon can be always ensured, thereby further improving the stability and reliability of the elevator during operation.

Then, when the top ball 6 is not subjected to force, the connecting rod 5 and the top ball 6 thereon are forced to rotate in the opposite direction under the action of the inclined structure and the elastic force of the elastic member 8, so that the top ball 6 returns to the initial position.

[0019] like Figure 2 , Figure 4 As shown, in the present technical solution, the bottom of the inner cavity of the U-shaped block 4 is set to an arc structure with the same arc as the wheel groove on the traction wheel 1, ensuring that after the U-shaped block 4 is squeezed and moved downward, it can cooperate with the traction wheel 1 to form a complete wheel groove structure, thereby effectively reducing the scratches caused to the wire rope.
