Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of elevator car frame structure technology, specifically a symmetrical distributed elevator car frame structure with balanced forces. Background Technology
[0002] The elevator car frame is the core load-bearing component of the elevator car, and its structural design directly affects the elevator's load-bearing capacity, operational stability, safety, reliability, and service life. An ideal car frame structure should possess characteristics such as high rigidity, lightweight, balanced stress distribution, and ease of installation and maintenance. Traditional elevator car frames often adopt an integral rectangular frame structure composed of a top beam, a bottom beam, and two side vertical beams. The car body is fixed within this frame, and the tension of the hoisting wire rope typically acts on the middle or sides of the top beam, and is transmitted to the bottom beam and guide shoes through the top beam and vertical beams. In this structure, both the vertical load of the car (its own weight and the load) and the tension of the hoisting wire rope ultimately need to be transmitted downwards through the side vertical beams. This results in the vertical beams simultaneously bearing enormous combined compressive and bending stresses, making them prone to deformation, and the force flow path is long with low transmission efficiency. To meet strength and rigidity requirements, it is often necessary to increase the cross-sectional dimensions of the vertical beams or use high-strength materials, increasing manufacturing costs and the total weight of the car frame.
[0003] Therefore, it is urgent to develop a symmetrical distributed elevator car frame structure with balanced forces to solve the problems in the existing technology. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a symmetrically distributed elevator car frame structure with balanced force, which can directly transmit the lifting force to the guide shoe installation position through symmetrically distributed load-bearing components, thereby significantly improving the stress state of the vertical beams, and the structure is simple, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: A symmetrical distributed elevator car frame structure with balanced forces is characterized in that it comprises a frame consisting of an upper beam, a lower beam, a left vertical beam, and a right vertical beam fixedly connected together; both the upper beam and the lower beam adopt a distributed load-bearing structure, and the upper beam includes a first central main load-bearing beam located on the central axis of the frame and a first side load-bearing beam symmetrically fixedly connected to both sides of the first central main load-bearing beam. The lower beam includes: a second central main load-bearing beam located on the central axis of the frame, and a second side load-bearing beam symmetrically and fixedly connected to both sides of the second central main load-bearing beam; The car frame structure also includes symmetrically arranged load-bearing components, which are respectively disposed at the ends of the first side load-bearing beam and the second side load-bearing beam. Each load-bearing component includes: A suspension module, which is fixedly connected to the lower end of the first side load-bearing beam; A guide shoe mounting module is fixedly connected to the upper end of the second side load-bearing beam; A load-bearing tie rod is provided between the suspension module and the guide shoe mounting module, and the upper and lower ends of the load-bearing tie rod are respectively hinged to the suspension module and the guide shoe mounting module; The upper ends of the left and right vertical beams are fixedly connected to the first central main load-bearing beam, and the lower ends of the left and right vertical beams are fixedly connected to the second central main load-bearing beam.
[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, the transmission paths of lifting force and car load are separated. The tension of the lifting wire rope is directly transmitted to the guide shoe mounting module and acts on the guide rail through the suspension module and load-bearing tie rod, forming an independent closed force flow. The two side beams mainly bear the vertical static load of the car, and their stress state is simplified, thereby improving the rigidity and stability of the overall structure.
[0007] As a further embodiment of the present invention: the suspension module includes: a vertical connecting plate fixedly connected to the first side load-bearing beam, and a suspension plate perpendicularly connected to the bottom of the vertical connecting plate and fixedly connected thereto, wherein the suspension plate is provided with a first hinge hole for connecting the load-bearing tie rod.
[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, reliable transmission of lifting force from the side of the upper beam to the load-bearing tie rod is achieved. The vertical connecting plate provides a rigid connection, and the suspension plate provides a hinge point for the load-bearing tie rod, resulting in a compact structure.
[0009] As a further embodiment of the present invention: the guide shoe mounting module is L-shaped, and the guide shoe mounting module is provided with a horizontal connecting part for connecting the load-bearing tie rod. The horizontal connecting part is fixedly connected to the guide shoe mounting module, and a second hinge hole is provided on the horizontal connecting part.
[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the guide shoe installation function and force transmission function are integrated into one unit. The horizontal connection part is used to connect the load-bearing tie rod, so that the lifting force is directly converted into the clamping force of the guide shoe on the guide rail, thereby improving the responsiveness and rigidity of the guiding system.
[0011] As a further aspect of the present invention: the upper end of the load-bearing tie rod is hinged to the first hinge hole and the second hinge hole respectively through the first pin and the second pin, and the axes of the first pin and the second pin are both perpendicular to the running direction of the elevator car.
[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the load-bearing tie rod can rotate slightly around the pin in the direction of operation. This hinged connection method allows the tie rod to bear only axial tensile force, avoiding additional bending moment, ensuring direct force transmission, and adapting to minor deformations during installation and operation.
[0013] As a further aspect of the present invention: the first central main load-bearing beam and the first side load-bearing beam, and the second central main load-bearing beam and the second side load-bearing beam, are all fixedly connected by multiple reinforcing ribs to form a high-rigidity truss structure.
[0014] By adopting the above technical solutions, the in-plane stiffness and torsional resistance of the upper and lower beams are enhanced. The reinforcing ribs create a stable truss between the central and side load-bearing beams, ensuring that the load is evenly transferred and distributed, preventing localized deformation.
[0015] As a further embodiment of the present invention: the left and right vertical beams are box-shaped structures with several transverse partitions inside.
[0016] By adopting the above technical solutions, the self-weight is reduced while ensuring sufficient bending and compressive stiffness of the upright beams. The box-shaped cross-section, combined with internal partitions, effectively improves the stability and load-bearing efficiency of the cross-section.
[0017] As a further aspect of the present invention: the load-bearing tie rod is an adjustable telescopic rod structure, and an adjusting sleeve with positive and negative threads is provided in the middle of the rod body.
[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, it is convenient to fine-tune the levelness of the car frame and the position of the guide shoes during installation. The length of the tie rod can be changed by rotating the adjusting sleeve, thereby adjusting the frame posture and ensuring that the load-bearing components are evenly stressed.
[0019] As a further aspect of the present invention: the number of load-bearing components is four sets, symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the car frame in the front-rear direction.
[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, the car frame achieves symmetrical force distribution in both the front-to-back and left-to-right directions. The four sets of load-bearing components form stable force transmission points at the four corners of the car, which can effectively balance the dynamic off-center load that may occur during operation and improve the smoothness of operation.
[0021] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: it can directly transmit the lifting force to the guide shoe installation position through symmetrically distributed load-bearing components, thereby significantly improving the stress state of the upright beam, and the structure is simple.

The length of the tie rod can be changed by rotating the adjusting sleeve 73, thereby adjusting the frame posture and ensuring that the load-bearing components are evenly stressed.
[0040] In this embodiment, there are four sets of load-bearing components, which are symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the car frame in the front-rear direction.
