Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of elevator safety detection equipment, and in particular to an elevator guide rail gauge measuring device. Background Art

[0002] Accurate measurement of elevator guide rail gauge reflects the deviation of the guide rail top surface and is an important performance indicator during elevator installation, operation, routine maintenance, and periodic inspections. GB / T42615-2023, "Specifications for Safety Assessment of In-Use Elevators," stipulates the maximum relative deviation between plumb line measurements every 5 meters on the working surface of each guide rail. This deviation must not exceed 1.2mm for car guide rails and T-type counterweight guide rails equipped with safety clamps, and 2.0mm for T-type counterweight guide rails without safety clamps. It also specifies the distance deviation between the top surfaces of two guide rails: 0mm to +2mm for car guide rails and 0mm to +3mm for counterweight guide rails.

[0003] Traditional elevator guide rail gauge measurement relies heavily on manual tape measurement, which has the following drawbacks: (1) The natural wear of the tape or human factors can easily lead to inaccurate measurement accuracy, low measurement efficiency, and the inability to measure continuously; (2) There are significant safety hazards in high-altitude operations. Some existing technologies use single-point laser static measurement or contact sensor measurement. Among them, the data of single-point laser static measurement is discrete and cannot fully reflect the actual situation of the guide rail gauge. Contact sensor measurement is seriously affected by mechanical vibration, environmental interference, and reference drift, and it is difficult to meet the accuracy requirements during dynamic measurement. In addition, most of these methods require complex installation and modification of the elevator, which is an invasive installation, affecting the normal operation of the elevator and may cause damage to the elevator structure.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0014] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings: like Figure 1-3 As shown, the present invention is a device for measuring the gauge of an elevator guide rail. The device comprises a support leg 1, which is a retractable triangular support leg. A magnetic foot 9 is connected to the bottom end of the support leg 1. The top end of the support leg 1 is connected to a balancing bracket 2 via a mounting shaft. The balancing bracket 2 is rotatable about the mounting shaft. Locking knobs 8 are provided on the bottom and sides of the balancing bracket 2. Two parallel first grooves 3 are provided on the upper surface of the balancing bracket 2 along the measurement direction. A retractable measuring rod 4 is embedded and engaged in the first grooves 3. When engaged, this effectively prevents lateral movement of the measuring rod 4 relative to the balancing bracket 2. The measuring rod 4 is provided with a scale 10. Laser sensors 5 are symmetrically mounted at both ends of the measuring rod 4 for measuring the guide rail spacing. A linear displacement sensor is also provided within the measuring rod 4 for measuring the spacing between the two laser sensors 5. A main control box 6 is provided above the measuring rod 4 at the top of the balancing bracket 2, and a second groove 7 symmetrical to the first groove 3 is provided at the bottom of the main control box 6. The measuring rod 4 is embedded and snap-connected to the bottom of the main control box 6 through the second groove 7. The design of the second groove 7 further prevents the lateral movement of the measuring rod 4 and ensures the coaxiality and relative position stability between the main control box 6, the measuring rod 4 and the balancing bracket 2. The main control box 6 integrates a main board, an IMU sensor and an angle sensor, and also integrates a multi-source data fusion algorithm module and a least squares algorithm module for real-time correction of data deviations. The main board, IMU sensor, angle sensor, linear displacement sensor and laser sensor 5 are respectively electrically connected to the signal input end of the main control box 6, and the signal output end of the main control box 6 is electrically connected to the external terminal device. The main control box 6 serves as the core control unit and is responsible for data processing and transmission.

[0015] Before measuring the elevator guide rail gauge, adjust the telescopic length of the support legs 1 according to the actual elevator height. Once adjusted, quickly and reliably attach the magnetic feet 9 to the elevator car roof. Then, rotate the balancing bracket 2 around its mounting axis to keep the measuring rod 4 horizontal and ensure that the laser sensor 5 is aligned with the elevator guide rail. The telescopic length of the measuring rod 4 is then adjusted as needed, and the linear displacement sensor simultaneously measures the telescopic length of the measuring rod 4. Once the measuring rod 4 is properly positioned, tighten the locking knobs 8 on the bottom and sides of the balancing bracket 2 to ensure that the balancing bracket 2, measuring rod 4, and main control box 6, connected by the first groove 3 and the second groove 7, form a rigid, integrated structure. Simultaneously, debug the existing external terminal equipment for proper operation.

[0016] When measuring the elevator guide rail gauge, the device is started, all sensors begin operating, and the elevator is operated at maintenance speed. Specifically, two laser sensors 5 each acquire the distance between their respective guide rails. The linear displacement sensor collects the distance between the laser sensors 5 for displacement feedback. Simultaneously, the IMU sensor and angle sensor collect real-time displacement, attitude, and angle information of the measurement device. The main control box 6 first fuses the data collected by all sensors using a multi-source data fusion algorithm module. Then, the least squares algorithm module actively corrects the offset and angular deviation of the laser transmitter axis. Finally, the obtained precise guide rail gauge data is transmitted to an external terminal device for display and analysis.
