Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of elevators, and more specifically, to an elevator compensating chain guiding system, which has guiding and anti-swaying functions and can monitor whether an elevator compensating chain is abnormal. Background Art

[0002] The elevator compensating chain guide device is a component of an elevator. Due to the weight of the traction wire rope itself, the weight of the counterweight side and the car side will change with the height during the up and down movement of the elevator, resulting in imbalance. In order to compensate for the weight difference between the counterweight side and the car side, a compensating chain is hung at the lower end of the counterweight and the car. The compensating chain will swing during the operation of the elevator. The faster the elevator speed and the higher the elevator lifting height, the greater the swing. In order to solve this problem, a guide device is installed at the lower end of the compensating chain, that is, at the bottom pit of the hoistway.

[0003] However, due to the limitations of technology and raw materials, the bending diameters of elevator compensation chains currently on the market are relatively small. If they are used in elevators with larger car widths or car depths, the car will be unbalanced, resulting in poor car running comfort and increased wear of the guide shoes.

[0004] In addition, when the counterweight is pressed to the bottom during elevator operation, the car may easily hit the top.

[0005] During the up and down movement of the elevator, the shaking of the elevator compensation chain will interfere with other components, or due to its own wear, the elevator compensation chain may break. At this time, if the elevator continues to run, it may cause personal injury and damage to the elevator equipment.

[0006] In view of this, there is a need for further improvement of the existing elevator compensating chain guide device.

[0069] Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0070] Figure 1 is a perspective schematic diagram of an elevator compensating chain guide system according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, Figure 2 is a partial perspective schematic diagram of an elevator compensating chain guide system according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, Figure 3 is a perspective schematic diagram of a guide wheel assembly of an elevator compensating chain guide system according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, Figure 4is a perspective schematic diagram of a fracture monitoring assembly of an elevator compensating chain guide system according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, Figure 5 It is a partially enlarged schematic diagram of an elevator compensating chain guide system according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

[0071] Reference Figures 1 to 5 The present invention relates to an elevator compensation chain guide system, which comprises: a support frame assembly 1, a guide wheel assembly 2, an elevator power supply safety device and a monitoring device.

[0072] Mate Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the support frame assembly 1 is installed in the elevator shaft pit. The support frame assembly 1 may include two columns 11 and a plurality of beams 12, wherein the two columns 11 extend in the vertical direction, and the lower ends of the columns 11 may be installed in the elevator shaft pit. In the example shown, the lower ends of the columns 11 are fixed to the elevator shaft pit by fastening bolts. The plurality of beams 12 may extend in the horizontal direction and be arranged parallel to each other between the two columns 11, and the two ends of each beam 12 are respectively connected to the two columns 11. In the example shown, four beams 12 are arranged between the two columns 11, but those skilled in the art should understand that the number of beams 12 should not be limited thereto. In actual application, the number of beams 12 can be adjusted arbitrarily, for example, the number of beams 12 can be set to two, six, eight, etc., which will not be repeated here.

[0073] The guide wheel assembly 2 is installed to the upper end of the support frame assembly 1. The guide wheel assembly 2 may include a guide wheel 21. The elevator compensation chain 6 passes around the guide wheel 21. In the example shown, the elevator compensation chain 6 is provided with an outer covering layer. The two ends of the elevator compensation chain 6 are respectively fixed to the bottom center of the elevator counterweight and the car.

[0074] In other words, one end of the elevator compensating chain 6 can be fixed to the bottom center of the car, and the other end of the elevator compensating chain 6 can be fixed to the elevator counterweight.

[0075] In the present invention, one end of the elevator compensation chain 6 can be fixed to the bottom center of the car through the arrangement of the guide wheel assembly 2. Therefore, even if it is applied to an elevator with a large car width or car depth, the car unbalanced load can be avoided, thereby improving the comfort of the car operation and reducing the wear of the guide shoes.

[0076] The elevator power supply safety device includes an elevator power supply safety circuit. When the elevator is operating normally, the elevator power supply safety circuit is closed and power is continuously supplied to the elevator.

[0077] The monitoring device is connected in series in the elevator power supply safety circuit and is configured to monitor whether the elevator compensation chain 6 is abnormal. When the monitoring device detects that the elevator compensation chain 6 is abnormal, the elevator power supply safety circuit is disconnected.

[0078] Furthermore, when the elevator power supply safety circuit is disconnected, power supply to the elevator is stopped and the elevator stops running.

[0079] In the following, the structure of the column 11 will be further described in detail.

[0080] Each column 11 may include: two protrusions 111, two recesses 112, a long through groove 113 and a plurality of protective brushes 114, wherein the two protrusions 111 are formed on opposite sides of the upper end of the column 11 facing each other, the two protrusions 111 are formed in a bent shape, and when viewed from a top view, the two protrusions 111 have a substantially L shape; the two recesses 112 are formed at the upper end of the column 11 and are located between the two protrusions 111, the guide wheel assembly 2 can be arranged in the recess 112 and can move in the vertical direction relative to the recess 112; the long through groove 113 extends in the vertical direction and has a predetermined width; the plurality of protective brushes 114 are arranged on two opposite sides of the long through groove 113, and the protective brushes 114 protrude toward the long through groove 113, a predetermined gap S is formed between the two protective brushes 113 facing each other, and the elevator compensation chain 6 can pass through the gap S; wherein the width of the long through groove 113 is greater than the gap S between the two protective brushes 114.

[0081] Since the gap S between the two protective brushes 114 is smaller than the width of the long through groove 113 , the swing range of the elevator compensation chain 6 can be limited, and the elevator compensation chain 6 can be prevented from scratching against the column 11 , thereby improving durability.

[0082] In the illustrated example, the width of the long through groove 113 in the vertical direction is not constant. More specifically, the width of the middle section of the long through groove 113 is greater than the width of the two end sections.

[0083] According to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, four protective brushes 114 can be provided on each column 11, two of the four protective brushes 114 are arranged on one side of the long through groove 113, and the other two of the four protective brushes 114 are arranged on the other side of the long through groove 113, and the two protective brushes 114 located on the same side of the long through groove 113 are arranged adjacent to each other in the vertical direction, and the section range formed by the two adjacent protective brushes 114 in the vertical direction is the moving range of the elevator compensation chain 6 when the elevator is operating normally.

[0084] In other words, when the elevator is running normally, the elevator compensation chain 6 always keeps in contact with the protective brush 114 without scratching the column 11.

[0085] In addition, those skilled in the art should understand that the number of protective brushes 114 provided on each column 11 should not be limited thereto, and the specifications of the protective brushes 114 should not be limited thereto. In practical applications, they can be adjusted arbitrarily according to actual conditions, as long as the requirement of preventing the elevator compensation chain 6 from scratching the column 11 under normal operating conditions can be met.

[0086] Mate Reference Figure 3 According to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the guide wheel assembly 2 may further include a mounting bracket 22 and a counterweight 23, the mounting bracket 22 including a first rod 221, a second rod 222, a third rod 223 and a fourth rod 224, the first rod 221, the third rod 223, the second rod 222 and the fourth rod 224 are sequentially connected to form a rectangular frame structure; the counterweight 23 is connected to the third rod 223 and the fourth rod 224 on the inner side of the rectangular frame structure.

[0087] More specifically, the counterweight 23 is connected to the third rod 223 and the fourth rod 224 in the middle of the inner side of the rectangular frame structure, and the counterweight 23 can be formed by stacking a plurality of plates. When the elevator is running, the arrangement of the counterweight 23 can reduce or even eliminate the shaking and swinging of the elevator compensation chain 6.

[0088] The counterweight 23 can be made of steel or a composite material.

[0089] When the guide wheel assembly 2 is installed to the upper end of the support frame assembly 1, the third rod 223 and the fourth rod 224 of the mounting bracket 22 of the guide wheel assembly 2 can be respectively placed in the two recesses 112, that is, the third rod 223 can be placed in one of the two recesses 112, and the fourth rod 224 can be placed in the other of the two recesses 112.

[0090] Furthermore, the guide wheel 21 of the guide wheel assembly 2 may include a first guide wheel 211 and a second guide wheel 212, and the first guide wheel 211 and the second guide wheel 212 can be rotatably mounted to the third rod 223 and the fourth rod 224 on the inner side of the rectangular frame structure, and the first guide wheel 211 and the second guide wheel 212 are arranged on both sides of the counterweight block 23; the axes of the first guide wheel 211 and the second guide wheel 212 are parallel to each other and spaced apart from each other by a predetermined distance; the elevator compensation chain 6 passes through the first side of the first guide wheel 211 and passes through the second side of the second guide wheel 212.

[0091] Here, with reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 In the position shown, the left side of the first guide wheel 211 is called the first side of the first guide wheel 211 , and the right side of the second guide wheel 212 is called the second side of the second guide wheel 212 .

[0092] The first guide wheel 211 and the second guide wheel 212 can be made of materials such as cast iron and nylon.

[0093] like Figure 3 As shown in FIG. , the elevator compensation chain 6 can pass through the left side of the first guide wheel 211 , pass through the long through grooves 113 of the two columns 11 , and then pass through the right side of the second guide wheel 212 .

[0094] In addition, the guide wheel assembly 2 may further include: a first protective cover 25 and a second protective cover 26, wherein the first protective cover 25 is mounted to the third rod 223 and the fourth rod 224, and is configured to at least partially cover the first guide wheel 211; the second protective cover 26 is mounted to the third rod 223 and the fourth rod 224, and is configured to at least partially cover the second guide wheel 212.

[0095] By arranging the first protective cover 25 and the second protective cover 26, foreign matter can be prevented from falling into the portion where the elevator compensation chain 6 engages with the first guide wheel 211 and the second guide wheel 212, thereby ensuring that the elevator compensation chain guide system can operate normally.

[0096] The monitoring device may include a limit switch component 3 and a fracture monitoring component 4 .

[0097] The limit switch assembly 3 is configured to monitor whether the elevator compensation chain 6 has a position abnormality. When the limit switch assembly 3 detects that the elevator compensation chain 6 has a position abnormality, the elevator power supply safety circuit is disconnected, thereby stopping the power supply to the elevator and the elevator stops running.

[0098] Specifically, when the car is about to hit the top, the elevator compensation chain 6 has an abnormal position. At this time, the elevator power supply safety circuit is disconnected and the elevator stops running, thereby preventing the car from hitting the top.

[0099] The fracture monitoring component 4 is configured to monitor whether the elevator compensation chain 6 is fractured. When the fracture monitoring component 4 detects that the elevator compensation chain 6 is fractured, the elevator power supply safety circuit is disconnected, thereby stopping power supply to the elevator and stopping the elevator from running.

[0100] Through the arrangement of the limit switch assembly 3 and the fracture monitoring assembly 4 in the present invention, it is possible to prevent the elevator from continuing to run when an abnormality occurs in the elevator compensation chain 6, thereby ensuring the safety and reliability of the elevator operation.

[0101] Furthermore, in the present invention, the limit switch assembly 3 and the fracture monitoring assembly 4 stop supplying power to the elevator by disconnecting the elevator power supply safety circuit, thereby stopping the operation of the elevator.

[0102] However, those skilled in the art should understand that the mechanism by which the limit switch assembly 3 and the fracture monitoring assembly 4 cause the elevator to stop running is not limited to this.

[0103] For example, in another embodiment of the present invention, the limit switch assembly 3 and the fracture monitoring assembly 4 can send signals to the elevator control system, and then control the operation of the elevator through the instructions of the elevator control system.

[0104] In another embodiment of the present invention, the limit switch assembly 3 and the fracture monitoring assembly 4 can be associated with the safety clamp brake system of the elevator, whereby the operation of the safety clamp brake system of the elevator can be controlled by the states of the limit switch assembly 3 and the fracture monitoring assembly 4, thereby also achieving the effect of controlling the operation of the elevator.

[0105] According to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the elevator compensation chain guide system of the present invention is provided with two limit switch assemblies 3 and one fracture monitoring assembly 4. However, those skilled in the art should understand that the number of limit switch assemblies 3 and fracture monitoring assemblies 4 should not be limited thereto, and they can be variously changed according to actual application conditions without departing from the protection scope of the present invention.

[0106] Since the two limit switch assemblies 3 have the same structure and are symmetrically arranged, the structure of one of the two limit switch assemblies 3 will be described in detail below. Figure 5 , the limit switch assembly 3 located on the right side will be described in detail.

[0107] The limit switch assembly 3 may include a base 31 and a limit switch 32 .

[0108] The base 31 can be connected to the third rod 223 and the fourth rod 224 of the mounting bracket 22 and can move in the vertical direction as the guide wheel assembly 2 moves. The two opposite ends of the base 31 are respectively formed with plug-in grooves 311, and the shape of the plug-in grooves 311 matches the shape of the protrusion 111. The two protrusions 111 of the column 11 can be respectively inserted into the two plug-in grooves 311; when the base 31 moves relative to the column 11 as the guide wheel assembly 2 moves, the plug-in grooves 311 move in the vertical direction along the protrusions 111.

[0109] In the example shown, the base 31 is fixed to the third rod 223 and the fourth rod 224 of the mounting bracket 22 by four fastening bolts 312. However, those skilled in the art should understand that the connection method between the base 31 and the mounting bracket 22 is not limited to this, and the number of the fastening bolts 312 is not limited to this, which will not be described in detail.

[0110] The limit switch 32 is mounted on the base 31. When the limit switch 32 moves relative to the column 11, the limit switch 32 switches to an off state, thereby disconnecting the elevator power supply safety circuit, stopping power supply to the elevator, and stopping the elevator from running.

[0111] According to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, a form of the limit switch 32 is shown. In the example shown, the limit switch 32 may include a limit switch body portion 321 and a roller portion 322, a portion of the column 11 close to the limit switch 32 forms a limit groove 115, and the roller portion 322 is placed in the limit groove 115 and limited by the limit groove 115.

[0112] When the base 31 moves upward relative to the column 11 as the guide wheel assembly 2 moves, the limit switch body 321 of the limit switch 32 can move upward, and the roller part 322 cannot move upward due to the limitation of the limit groove 115, thereby the limit switch body 321 and the roller part 322 produce relative displacement, and accordingly, the limit switch 32 switches to the disconnected state, so that the elevator power supply safety circuit is disconnected.

[0113] However, those skilled in the art should understand that the form of the limit switch 32 is not limited thereto, and various equivalent replacements may be made, as long as the same function can be achieved.

[0114] According to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the fracture monitoring assembly 4 is disposed at a lower portion of the column 11 and is spaced apart from the elevator compensating chain 6 by a predetermined distance below the elevator compensating chain 6 .

[0115] Mate Reference Figure 1 and Figure 4 The fracture monitoring assembly 4 may include: a support plate 41, an action plate 42, a trigger plate 43, a fracture switch 44 and a reset element 45, wherein the support plate 41 is mounted to the column 11 by a fastener (such as a fastening bolt); the action plate 42 is rotatably mounted on the support plate 41, and when the elevator compensation chain 6 breaks, the elevator compensation chain 6 contacts and pushes the action plate 42 to rotate the action plate 42; the trigger plate 43 is mounted on the support plate 41 and is located on one side of the action plate 42, and the trigger plate 43 is configured to be pushed to generate movement through the rotation of the action plate 42; the fracture switch 44 is mounted on the support plate 41 and is located on the side of the trigger plate 43 opposite to the action plate 42, and the fracture switch 44 is configured to be switched to a disconnected state through the movement of the trigger plate 43, thereby disconnecting the elevator power supply safety circuit; the reset element 45 is mounted on the support plate 41 and is located on the same side of the trigger plate 43 as the fracture switch 44, and the reset element 45 is configured to reset the trigger plate 43.

[0116] In other words, the reset element 45 and the break switch 44 are located on one side of the trigger plate 43 , and the action plate 42 is located on the other side of the trigger plate 43 .

[0117] Specifically, the action plate 42 is rotatably mounted on the support plate 41 through two rotating pins 421. When the elevator compensation chain 6 breaks, the elevator compensation chain 6 contacts and pushes the action plate 42 to rotate the action plate 42 counterclockwise.

[0118] In the illustrated example, the support plate 41 is formed with an opening 411 , and the trigger plate 43 is inserted into the opening 411 . When the trigger plate 43 is pushed, the trigger plate 43 moves in the opening 411 .

[0119] In addition, the shape of the opening 411 is formed to be wider at the top and narrower at the bottom, and accordingly, the movable range of the upper portion of the trigger plate 43 is greater than the movable range of the lower portion of the trigger plate 43 .

[0120] Therefore, the trigger plate 43 is in a substantially inclined state after being moved, and can form a predetermined angle relative to the vertical direction.

[0121] Furthermore, the moved trigger plate 43 contacts the breaking switch 44, so that the breaking switch 44 switches to the disconnected state, thereby disconnecting the elevator power supply safety circuit.

[0122] According to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the reset element 45 is a reset spring. More specifically, the reset element 45 is a compression spring. When the trigger plate 43 is pushed and moves in the opening, the upper part of the trigger plate 43 compresses the compression spring; when the elevator fault is eliminated, the compression spring resets, thereby resetting the trigger plate 43 and the action plate 42, and accordingly, the break switch 44 switches to a closed state, and the elevator power supply safety circuit is closed.

[0123] According to another preferred embodiment of the present invention, an elevator using the elevator compensating chain guide system is also proposed. Since its core components and structure have been described in detail above, they will not be repeated here.

[0124] The above descriptions of the specific exemplary embodiments of the present invention are presented for the purpose of illustration and description. They are not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the present invention to the precise form disclosed, and it is obvious that many modifications and changes can be made according to the above teachings. The selection and description of the exemplary embodiments are to explain certain principles of the present invention and their practical applications, so that those skilled in the art can make and use various exemplary embodiments of the present invention and their different alternative forms and modified forms. The scope of the present invention is intended to be limited by the appended claims and their equivalents.
