Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of depth measuring devices, and more particularly to a device for measuring the meshing depth of guide shoes of elevator doors. Background Art

[0002] Vertical elevators are widely used in multi-story buildings to carry people or goods. During the construction of vertical elevators, floor doors are installed on each floor. When the vertical elevators are running, the floor doors are damaged by human impact and the door leaves fall off, causing external personnel to fall into the shaft and cause casualties. Accidents have occurred repeatedly, triggering widespread public concern about elevator safety. After analysis, it is found that the main reason for the falling of elevator floor doors is that the strength of some elevator floor doors is insufficient, and the engagement depth between the floor door guide shoe and the sill groove is shallow during installation. When the floor door is deformed by external impact, the floor door guide shoe is disengaged. Therefore, when installing the floor door, a measuring device is required to measure the engagement depth of the elevator door guide shoe and the sill groove. As the guide shoe and the sill groove wear out during use, a measuring device is required to regularly measure the gap between the two to avoid excessive gaps and ensure the safety of the floor door.
