DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0028] The present application will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments. The illustrative embodiments of the present application and the description used to explain the present application are not intended to be limiting.

[0029] Example 1: A VZ-type elevator based on an anti-falling mechanism, as shown in Figures 1-4As shown, including guide rail frame 1, long rack 2, lifting frame 3, speed reducer 4, cage 5 and anti-falling mechanism 6, guide rail frame 1 is a plurality of standard segments, the upper and lower ends of which can be connected with other guide rail frames 1, according to the required installation height of the elevator, select the appropriate number of guide rail frames 1 for splicing, the guide rail frame 1 is fixedly connected with the building through the attached wall frame, to ensure the stability of the overall structure, each guide rail frame 1 is provided with a long rack 2 arranged along the length direction of the guide rail frame 1, the front side of the guide rail frame 1 is slidingly provided with a lifting frame 3, the lifting frame 3 is provided with a speed reducer 4 at the front end, the lifting frame 3 is connected with a cage 5 at the bottom, the speed reducer 4 is provided with a driving gear engaged with the long rack 2, starting the speed reducer 4 can drive the cage 5 to stably ascend along the guide rail frame 1, the lifting frame 3 is provided with an anti-falling mechanism 6, the anti-falling mechanism 6 includes a cylindrical gear 61, a turntable 62, a centrifugal connection assembly, an annular guide rail 63, a chuck 64, a transmission assembly 65, a first brake assembly 66 and a check assembly 67, specifically, the lifting frame 3 is rotatably installed with a cylindrical gear 61 through a bearing seat, the cylindrical gear 61 penetrates the lifting frame 3, the cylindrical gear 61 is engaged with the long rack 2, the front end of the cylindrical gear 61 is connected with a turntable 62, the turntable 62 is uniformly distributed with five sets of centrifugal connection assemblies in the circumferential direction, for triggering the brake action in abnormal conditions, the outer side of the turntable 62 is provided with an annular guide rail 63 connected with the lifting frame 3, the inner side of the annular guide rail 63 is rotatably connected with a chuck 64, the inner side of the chuck 64 is circumferentially spaced apart to provide a plurality of grooves, for cooperating with the centrifugal connection assembly to realize the locking function, the left and right sides of the rear end of the lifting frame 3 are respectively provided with a first brake assembly 66, the first brake assembly 66 is located outside the guide rail frame 1, the first brake assembly 66 and the chuck 64 are drivingly connected through a transmission assembly 65, the turntable 62 is further provided with five check assemblies 67, for preventing the centrifugal connection assembly from resetting in the working state, thereby ensuring the continuous effectiveness of the brake state.

[0030] The guide rail frame 1 is assembled from multiple standard sections. Each section is quickly assembled with bolts to form a vertical guide rail system. The lifting frame 3 is a sliding structure. It slides with the guide rail frame 1 through rollers to ensure stability during lifting. When the lifting machine is working normally, the reduction drive 4 is started to drive the drive gear on it to rotate. The meshing of the drive gear with the long rack 2 converts the rotational motion into the vertical motion of the lifting frame 3, which in turn drives the cage 5 to rise and fall along the guide rail frame 1. The guide rail frame 1 is fixedly connected to the building structure through the wall-mounted frame to disperse the lateral force generated when the lifting machine is running and prevent the guide rail frame 1 from overturning. When the elevator is running normally, the long rack 2 meshes with the cylindrical gear 61, so the cylindrical gear 61 will rotate under the action of the long rack 2 and drive the turntable 62 to rotate. The turntable 62 rotates at low speed, and the centrifugal connecting assembly is in a silent state and the first braking assembly 66 is not triggered. When the elevator malfunctions and causes the cage 5 to fall slowly, the relative high-speed movement of the cage 5 and the lifting frame 3 causes the cylindrical gear 61 to rotate rapidly. Under the action of centrifugal force, the turntable 62 is connected to the chuck 64 through the centrifugal connecting assembly. The check assembly 67 prevents the centrifugal connecting assembly from resetting in the working state. At this time, the turntable 62 drives the chuck 64 to rotate through the centrifugal connecting assembly. The power is transmitted to the first braking assembly 66 through the transmission assembly 65, so that the braking element of the first braking assembly 66 is in close contact with the surface of the guide rail frame 1 to generate braking force, effectively preventing the cage 5 from falling.

[0031] Example 2: Based on Example 1, such as Figure 5 As shown, the centrifugal connection assembly includes a centrifugal block 622, an insert block 623, and a first spring 625. Five first sliding grooves 621 are evenly distributed in the circumferential center of the turntable 62. Five through holes 624 are also evenly spaced on the outer wall of the turntable 62. Each through hole 624 is connected to the corresponding first sliding groove 621. A centrifugal block 622 is slidably installed in each first sliding groove 621. An insert block 623 is connected to the side of the centrifugal block 622 near the through hole 624. The insert block 623 can pass through the through hole 624 and cooperate with the groove of the chuck 64. A first spring 625 is connected between the centrifugal block 622 and the inner wall of the first sliding groove 621.

[0032] When the chuck 64 rotates normally, due to the low speed, the centrifugal block 622 remains stationary under the action of the first spring 625 and will not trigger the first braking assembly 66. When the chuck 64 rotates at high speed, the centrifugal force generated pushes the centrifugal block 622 to slide towards the through hole 624, overcoming the elastic force of the first spring 625, causing the insert block 623 to extend through the through hole 624 and insert into the groove, thereby realizing the connection between the turntable 62 and the chuck 64. The rotation of the turntable 62 drives the chuck 64 to rotate through the centrifugal connection assembly, and transmits the power to the first braking assembly 66 through the transmission assembly 65. The first braking assembly 66 generates braking force by closely adhering to the surface of the guide rail frame 1.

[0033] like Figure 6 andFigure 7 As shown, the first braking assembly 66 includes a screw 661, a guide rod 662, a first braking plate 663, a sliding plate 664, a nut 665, and a compression spring 666. There are two screws 661, which are rotatably connected to the left and right sides of the lifting frame 3 respectively. The screws 661 pass through the lifting frame 3. Two guide rods 662 are fixed to the left and right sides of the rear end of the lifting frame 3. A first braking plate 663 and a sliding plate 664 are slidably connected to the outer side of the two guide rods 662 on each side. The sliding plate 664 is located behind the first braking plate 663. The first braking plate 663 contacts the guide rail frame 1 to achieve braking. A nut 665 is embedded in the sliding plate 664. The nut 665 is threadedly connected to the screw 661. A compression spring 666 is connected between the front end of the nut 665 and the right end of the first braking plate 663. The compression spring 666 is sleeved on the outer side of the screw 661.

[0034] When the chuck 64 rotates, power is transmitted to the screw 661 via the transmission assembly 65, causing it to rotate. The rotation of the screw 661 drives the nut 665, which is threadedly connected to it, to move forward axially. The sliding plate 664 moves synchronously under the guidance of the guide rod 662, ensuring smooth overall movement. During this process, the compression spring 666 pushes the first brake plate 663 forward towards the surface of the guide rail frame 1. After the first brake plate 663 contacts the guide rail frame 1, the screw 661 continues to rotate, further compressing the compression spring 666, thereby transmitting greater pressure to the guide rail frame 1 through the first brake plate 663, forming a gradually increasing braking force. This design, where the braking pressure increases with the compression of the compression spring 666, allows the braking process to gradually strengthen from gentle to stable, avoiding sudden stops of the cage 5 and effectively improving safety and ride comfort during operation.

[0035] like Figure 4 As shown, the transmission assembly 65 includes a gear ring 651, a worm 652, a transmission gear 653, a transmission rod 654, a worm wheel 655, and a bevel gear transmission group 656. The gear ring 651 is connected to the outside of the chuck 64. The worm 652 is rotatably connected to the lower part of the lifting frame 3. The front end of the worm 652 is provided with a hexagonal block, which facilitates the rotation of the worm 652 with a wrench. A transmission gear 653 is coaxially connected to the worm 652. The transmission gear 653 meshes with the gear ring 651 to realize power input. The transmission rod 654 is horizontally rotatably mounted on the lower front side of the lifting frame 3 through a bearing seat. The worm wheel 655 is mounted on the left side of the transmission rod 654. The worm wheel 655 meshes with the worm 652 to realize motion transmission. The left and right ends of the transmission rod 654 are respectively connected to the front ends of the screws 661 on both sides through the bevel gear transmission group 656, thereby transmitting power to the screws 661 in the first braking assembly 66.

[0036] When the chuck 64 rotates, the outer connected gear ring 651 rotates, the gear ring 651 meshes with the transmission gear 653, and the power is transmitted to the worm 652 to drive it to rotate synchronously. The worm 652 meshes with the worm gear 655 to drive the worm gear 655 to rotate, thereby driving the transmission rod 654 to rotate. The transmission rod 654 transmits power to the two screw rods 661 through the bevel gear transmission set 656 on both ends to realize synchronous rotation of the screw rods 661.

[0037] As shown in Figure 4 and Figure 5 The check assembly 67 includes a wedge block 673 and a second spring 674, and each centrifugal block 622 is provided with a clamping groove 671 on one side. Five second sliding grooves 672 are uniformly and circumferentially arranged on the rotating disc 62, and the second sliding grooves 672 are located on the side close to the clamping grooves 671 and are in communication with the first sliding grooves 621. The wedge block 673 is slidably arranged in the second sliding groove 672, and the wedge block 673 can cooperate with the clamping groove 671 to realize the limiting locking function. The second spring 674 is connected between the wedge block 673 and the inner wall of the second sliding groove 672.

[0038] When the rotating disc 62 rotates at high speed, the centrifugal block 622 moves in the direction of the through hole 624 under the action of centrifugal force, and the inclined surface of the wedge block 673 is pushed by the centrifugal block 622, so that the wedge block 673 compresses the second spring 674 and is retracted into the second sliding groove 672. When the plug 623 is inserted into the groove on the chuck 64, the clamping groove 671 corresponds to the position of the wedge block 673. Under the action of the elastic force of the second spring 674, the wedge block 673 is ejected and embedded in the clamping groove 671, thereby locking and fixing the centrifugal block 622. This structure design effectively prevents the phenomenon of the centrifugal block 622 from retracting due to the decrease of the centrifugal force caused by the decrease of the rotating speed of the rotating disc 62, and ensures that the plug 623 can be reliably inserted into the groove at all times, thereby maintaining the stable driving of the rotating disc 62 to the chuck 64.

[0039] Example 3: Based on example 2, as shown in Figure 3 and Figure 7 The locking mechanism 8 includes a locking rod 82, a third spring 83, a plurality of locking holes 81 are uniformly and axially arranged on the guide rail frame 1, the locking rod 82 is slidably connected to the middle part of the sliding plate 664, the third spring 83 is connected between the locking rod 82 and the sliding plate 664, the first brake plate 663 is provided with a circular hole 84 through which the locking rod 82 passes, and the locking rod 82 is matched with the locking hole 81.

[0040] When the sliding plate 664 moves towards the guide rail frame 1, the locking rod 82 moves synchronously. As the compression spring 666 is gradually compressed and approaches the limit state, the braking force exerted by the first brake plate 663 on the guide rail frame 1 also reaches the maximum value, at which time, if the locking rod 82 is aligned with a certain locking hole 81 on the guide rail frame 1, the locking rod 82 automatically inserts into the locking hole 81, realizing mechanical locking; if it is not aligned with the locking hole 81, the front end of the locking rod 82 will press against the surface of the guide rail frame 1, forcing the third spring 83 to be stretched. If the lifting frame 3 slides downward, the locking rod 82 moves with it, and when the locking rod 82 moves to align with the next locking hole 81, the third spring 83 releases the elastic force, pushing the locking rod 82 to insert into the locking hole 81, completing the locking action. Not only does this enhance the reliability of the brake, but it also provides additional safety protection for the entire elevator, effectively preventing the cage 5 from accidentally sliding down and improving the safety of the equipment in operation.

[0041] In addition to the embodiment 3, as shown in Figure 5 a reset mechanism one 9 is further included, which is used to synchronously release the locking state of the centrifugal connection assembly. The reset mechanism one 9 includes positioning rods 91, an outer rotating ring 93, a push rod 94, and a connecting rod 95. Five positioning rods 91 are fixedly connected to the front side of the rotating disc 62 in a uniform manner along the circumference. The outer sides of the five positioning rods 91 are collectively sleeved with the outer rotating ring 93. Five notches 92 are uniformly formed on the inner circumferential surface of the outer rotating ring 93 along the circumference. The positioning rods 91 are arranged in the corresponding notches 92 and can slide therein. The outer rotating ring 93 is connected with five push rods 94 in a uniform and spaced manner along the circumference. The front end of each wedge-shaped block 673 is connected with a connecting rod 95. The connecting rod 95 is in contact with the corresponding push rod 94.

[0042] When it is necessary to release the braking force of the first brake assembly 66 on the guide rail frame 1, the outer rotating ring 93 is rotated clockwise. The positioning rods 91 guide the movement of the outer rotating ring 93 in the notches 92, driving the push rods 94 to move synchronously. The push rods 94 push the connecting rods 95 and the wedge-shaped blocks 673 connected thereto to move away from the clamping grooves 671, so that the second springs 674 are compressed. At the same time, multiple wedge-shaped blocks 673 can be driven to move out of the corresponding clamping grooves 671, realizing the synchronous unlocking of all the centrifugal blocks 622. After unlocking, under the action of the first spring 625, the centrifugal blocks 622 are reset away from the through holes 624. The insertion blocks 623 are withdrawn from the recesses of the chuck 64, releasing the connection between the rotating disc 62 and the chuck 64. At this time, using a wrench to cover the hexagonal block at the front end of the worm 652, the worm 652 can be reversely rotated by the wrench. The power is transmitted to the two side screws 661 through the worm gear 655, the transmission rod 654, and the bevel gear transmission set 656 in sequence, causing the screws 661 to reverse. At the same time, the locking rod 82 is retracted under the action of the third spring 83, moving out of the locking hole 81 on the guide rail frame 1, completing the reset operation. At this point, the anti-falling mechanism 6 returns to the initial state, and the elevator can resume normal operation.

[0043] As Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 9 shown, also includes reset mechanism two 10, for assisting the centrifugal block 622 reset and restore to the initial position quickly, reset mechanism two 10 includes inner rotating ring 101, arc-shaped rack 102, gear set 103 and short rack 104, the inner side of outer rotating ring 93 is rotatably provided with inner rotating ring 101, five notches 92 are also uniformly spaced on the circumferential surface of inner rotating ring 101, the notches 92 cooperate with the positioning rod 91 to realize the guiding function, five arc-shaped racks 102 are connected to the inner side of the inner rotating ring 101 in a circumferential direction, five gear sets 103 are distributed in a circumferential direction on the front end of the rotating disc 62, each gear set 103 is composed of two pinions 1032 and a rotating shaft 1031, the rotating shaft 1031 is rotatably connected to the rotating disc 62, the two pinions 1032 are coaxially connected to the rotating shaft 1031, wherein the rear pinion 1032 is a one-way gear, the front pinion 1032 can engage with the corresponding arc-shaped rack 102, and each centrifugal block 622 is connected with a short rack 104 at the front end, and the short rack 104 engages with the rear one-way pinion 1032.

[0044] After the wedge-shaped block 673 is separated from the clamping groove 671 and the locking of the centrifugal block 622 is released, the engagement between the block 623 and the groove of the chuck 64 may be too tight, causing the centrifugal block 622 to fail to reset smoothly relying on the elastic force of the first spring 625. The inner rotating ring 101 can be rotated clockwise, the arc-shaped racks 102 on the inner rotating ring 101 are rotated and drive the front pinions 1032 and the rotating shafts 1031 to rotate, at this time, the rear one-way pinions 1032 transmit power to the short racks 104, thereby pushing the centrifugal block 622 to move away from the through hole 624, realizing the forced reset action. When the inner rotating ring 101 is rotated counterclockwise, the arc-shaped racks 102 still drive the front pinions 1032 to rotate, and the rotating shafts 1031 rotate accordingly, but the rear one-way pinions 1032 do not transmit power in this direction, so the short racks 104 and the centrifugal block 622 will not move, realizing the idle stroke function. When the inner rotating ring 101 is reset counterclockwise, the arc-shaped racks 102 and the front pinions 1032 are in a non-engaged state, thereby avoiding interference with the movement of the centrifugal block 622.

[0045] As Figure 5 and Figure 8 shown, also includes a plug rod 11 for locking the positions of the outer rotating ring 93 and the inner rotating ring 101, the outer rotating ring 93 and the inner rotating ring 101 are each slidably connected with a plug rod 11, two insertion holes adapted to the two plug rods 11 are formed on the rotating disc 62, and an anti-slip rubber layer is arranged on the outer side of the end of the plug rod 11 facing the insertion hole, for enhancing the friction between the plug rod 11 and the insertion hole.

[0046] When the outer rotating ring 93 and the inner rotating ring 101 are in the initial position, the insertion rod 11 is aligned with the insertion hole position, and the insertion rod 11 is inserted into the corresponding insertion hole, so that the positioning and fixing of the outer rotating ring 93 and the inner rotating ring 101 can be realized. The design of the anti-skid rubber layer can effectively prevent the insertion rod 11 from accidentally falling out under the action of vibration or external force, and improve the stability of the structure. When it is necessary to rotate the outer rotating ring 93 or the inner rotating ring 101, the corresponding insertion rod 11 can be pulled out of the insertion hole, so that the locking can be released.

[0047] Example 5: on the basis of example 4, as shown in Figure 4 and Figure 6 The second brake assembly 12 includes a second brake plate 121, a swing rod 122, and a connecting column 124. The front side of the guide rod 662 is slidably provided with the second brake plate 121. The first brake plate 663 and the second brake plate 121 are connected with the connecting column 124 on the side. The left and right sides of the rear part of the lifting frame 3 are respectively rotationally connected with one swing rod 122. The two ends of each swing rod 122 are provided with a long slot 123. The connecting column 124 is arranged in the corresponding long slot 123 and can slide in the long slot 123.

[0048] When the first brake plate 663 moves towards the guide rail frame 1, the connecting column 124 on the first brake plate 663 drives the swing rod 122 to swing, and then pushes the connecting column 124 on the second brake plate 121 through the long slot 123, so that the second brake plate 121 moves towards the guide rail frame 1 synchronously, and finally contacts the guide rail frame 1. The first brake plate 663 and the second brake plate 121 simultaneously apply pressure to the guide rail frame 1, forming double clamping force, significantly increasing the braking torque, and ensuring that the cage 5 can stop quickly and stably. When the first brake plate 663 moves backward, the second brake plate 121 moves forward away from the guide rail frame 1.

[0049] Although the present disclosure has been described only with respect to a limited number of embodiments, those skilled in the art who benefit from the present disclosure will understand that various other embodiments can be designed without departing from the scope of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of the present invention should be limited only by the appended claims.
