Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of elevators, and in particular to an elevator traction machine with a dual-motor structure. Background Art

[0002] With the development of modern manufacturing industry and the large-scale construction of modern industrial parks, heavy-duty freight elevators have been covering a wider range of elevator markets. The specifications of freight elevators have gradually evolved from conventional load-bearing elevators of 2000kg and 3000kg in the early years to heavy-duty elevators of 8000kg and 10000kg, and the elevator speed has also gradually increased to a higher level of 1.0m / s and 1.5m / s.

[0003] As a core safety component of elevators, the traction motor is required to meet the growing demand for freight elevator specifications, resulting in a growing number of traction motor models. Unlike elevator manufacturing, the addition of new traction motor specifications and models requires increased mold investment. Furthermore, with market demands for higher energy efficiency and cost-effectiveness of traction motors, investment in efficient motor design software is essential to improve traction motor efficiency and material utilization.

[0004] At present, the investment in traction machine molds is mainly concentrated in castings and iron core molds. Since the traction machine of a large-load freight elevator has a large ladder shape and there are generally no standard molds available on the market, the cost of developing a new set of traction machine molds is very high. This not only increases the shared cost of a single traction machine, reduces the market competitiveness of the elevator, but also prolongs the product development cycle.

[0005] At present, some manufacturers combine two low-load motors into a high-load motor. The motor winding adopts an axial electrical magnetic field design, and the housing and traction wheel are developed with separate molds. The traction wheel adopts an integrated design. When one of the motors needs to be repaired, the entire traction machine needs to be disassembled, making maintenance extremely difficult.

[0006] Therefore, how to effectively reduce the initial investment of large-load freight elevator traction machines, increase the standardization rate of large-load freight elevator traction machines, reduce their overall costs, and improve the market competitiveness of large-load freight elevators is the research focus of technical personnel in this field.

[0007] In summary, the existing technology has the following problems:

[0008] 1. The motor adopts an axial magnetic field design. Although it can reduce the thickness of a single motor, its manufacturing precision and process requirements are higher than those of the mature radial magnetic field.

[0009] 2. The traction sheave adopts an integrated design. When one of the motors needs to be disassembled for maintenance, the elevator car needs to be lifted and all the wire ropes removed before the entire traction machine can be disassembled. This poses a great safety risk and is difficult to disassemble the entire machine.

[0010] 3. A single motor has only one bearing, the motor is not independent, and the R&D investment is high. Summary of the Invention

[0011] The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and provide a dual-motor structure elevator traction machine. By using two existing or developed low-load specification traction machines to combine into a new large-load specification traction machine, the production and manufacturing of large-load specification traction machines can be achieved without investing in shell molds, thereby reducing investment in the product research and development stage. At the same time, the dual-motor structure design is also conducive to the disassembly and maintenance of a single machine, and the difficulty of maintenance is greatly reduced.
