However, the issue of elevator safety has also surfaced, attracting great attention from the general public and relevant departments. Elevator guide rails, as the core components of elevator operation, are responsible for supporting and guiding the up and down movement of the elevator car. Their stability and safety are directly related to the overall performance and safety of the elevator.

[0003] During long-term use, the guide rails of elevators not only have to bear the weight of the elevator car and passengers, but also face the impact and vibration during starting, braking and emergency situations. These external factors can easily cause deformation, wear or fatigue damage to the guide rails. Once these problems occur in the guide rails, it will not only affect the smooth operation of the elevator, but may also cause serious safety accidents.

[0004] Traditional methods for detecting elevator guide rail deformation mostly rely on manual measurement and visual inspection. This method is not only inefficient, but also difficult to ensure measurement accuracy. Due to the limitations of the human eye and manual measurement, it is often difficult to accurately capture the slight deformation and wear of the guide rail; therefore, it is difficult to detect and deal with potential safety hazards in a timely manner.

The terms "first", "second", etc. in the specification and claims of this application or the above-mentioned drawings are used to distinguish different objects, not to describe a specific order.

[0022] Reference to "embodiments" herein means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in conjunction with the embodiments may be included in at least one embodiment of the present application. The appearance of the phrase in various locations in the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it an independent or alternative embodiment that is mutually exclusive with other embodiments. It is explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein may be combined with other embodiments.

[0023] The utility model provides a device for detecting the deformation of an elevator guide rail. Figure 1-4 As shown, it includes a detection frame 1, which is arranged in a T shape; a detection structure is arranged at the lower position of the detection frame 1; wherein the detection structure includes: two assembly seats 201 symmetrically arranged on the inner wall of the detection frame 1; a detection roller 203 sliding on the two assembly seats 201; a reset spring 204 is arranged on the side of the two detection rollers 203 away from each other, and a damper is arranged in the two reset springs 204; two detection cavities 205 symmetrically arranged on the outer side of the detection frame 1, and the two detection cavities 205 are respectively connected to the corresponding assembly seats 201; a buzzer alarm 206 is arranged on the inner wall of the two detection cavities 205; and a proximity sensor 202 is arranged on one end of the two reset springs 204 extending to the detection cavity 205.

[0024] It should be noted that, since the traditional method of detecting the deformation of the elevator guide rail 10 mostly relies on manual measurement and visual inspection, this method is not only inefficient, but also difficult to ensure the measurement accuracy, and it is difficult to accurately capture the slight deformation and wear of the guide rail 10; therefore, it is difficult to timely discover and deal with potential safety hazards. The present solution can monitor the deformation of the guide rail 10 in real time and issue an alarm in time when an abnormality is found; at the same time, through the processing of software algorithms, it can realize automatic analysis and processing of measurement data, greatly improving the detection efficiency and accuracy; in addition, it also has the characteristics of strong adaptability and adjustability, and can adapt to elevator guide rails 10 of different specifications and sizes. Through simple adjustment and operation, it can realize the detection of guide rails 10 of different sizes, which greatly improves the versatility and flexibility of the device.

[0025] Specifically, in this embodiment, the scheme mainly includes a detection frame 1 and a detection structure; the device is installed on the elevator guide rail 10 to ensure that the detection frame 1 can be closely attached to the side of the elevator guide rail 10; in the initial state, the two detection rollers 203 are preloaded by the reset spring 204, so that the detection rollers 203 and the elevator guide rail 10 maintain a certain gap and do not directly contact; the purpose of this design is to avoid false triggering caused by normal vibration of the elevator guide rail 10; the damper is used to adjust the elastic force of the reset spring 204 to ensure that the rollers 203 do not move frequently when the elevator guide rail 10 vibrates slightly;

[0026] When the elevator is running normally, the elevator guide rail 10 remains relatively stable without obvious deformation; at this time, the detection roller 203 does not contact the elevator guide rail 10 due to the preload force, and therefore does not transmit any signal;

[0027] If the elevator guide rail 10 is deformed, the surface of the deformed portion of the guide rail 10 will be close to the detection roller 203; due to the deformation, the contact force between the guide rail 10 and the detection roller 203 will change, and this change will be transmitted to the proximity sensor 202 through the reset spring 204;

[0028] The proximity sensor 202 can sense small changes transmitted by the return spring 204, such as changes in force or displacement; when the sensed changes exceed a preset threshold, it indicates that the deformation of the elevator guide rail 10 has exceeded the allowable range;

[0029] Once the proximity sensor 202 detects a change exceeding the threshold, it will send a signal to the buzzer alarm 206; after receiving the signal, the buzzer alarm 206 will immediately sound an audible alarm to remind the staff that the elevator guide rail 10 may be deformed;

[0030] After hearing the alarm, the staff will conduct corresponding inspections and maintenance; if it is found that the elevator guide rail 10 is indeed deformed, it can be adjusted or replaced according to the situation to ensure the safe operation of the elevator;

[0031] By means of the elevator guide rail 10 deformation detection device, the state of the elevator guide rail 10 can be monitored in real time, and an alarm can be issued in time when deformation occurs, thereby ensuring the safe operation of the elevator.

[0032] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, Figure 1-2 As shown, a limiting channel 3 for the guide rail 10 to slide is provided in the middle of the detection frame 1, guide rods 4 are threadedly fitted on both sides of the detection frame 1, and guide plates 5 are provided on the opposite sides of the two guide rods 4.

[0033] In this embodiment, the guide rail 10 is placed in the limit channel 3 to ensure that the elevator guide rail 10 can stably and smoothly pass through the detection frame 1 during the detection process. The real-time spacing between the guide plate 5 and the elevator guide rail 10 is adjusted by rotating the guide rod 4. This adjustment function enables the detection device to adapt to guide rails 10 of different sizes, thereby expanding its application range.

[0034] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, Figure 1-4 As shown, a magnet 6 is disposed on the inner wall of the guide plate 5 , and the cross section of the guide plate 5 is arranged in a semi-arc shape.

[0035] In this embodiment, the semi-arc-shaped cross-section of the guide plate 5 can better adapt to the shape of the elevator guide rail 10, ensuring that the guide plate 5 can fit tightly on the side of the guide rail 10, and at the same time help to disperse the contact pressure between the guide plate 5 and the guide rail 10, reduce wear and friction, and increase the stability between the guide plate 5 and the elevator guide rail 10; the magnetic force generated by the magnet 6 helps to adsorb on the metal surface of the elevator guide rail 10, and this magnetic force can reduce the gap between the guide plate 5 and the elevator guide rail 10, thereby improving the detection accuracy.

[0036] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, Figure 1-4 As shown, a laser distance measuring sensor 7 is arranged above the detection frame 1 , and a light target is arranged on the guide rail 10 , and the light target and the laser distance measuring sensor 7 are electrically connected.

[0037] In this embodiment, the laser distance sensor 7 is installed above the detection frame 1. It uses laser technology to measure the distance to the target object. Since laser distance measurement has the characteristics of high precision and high speed, it can provide data on the deformation of the guide rail 10 in real time and accurately. The light target is set on the elevator guide rail 10, usually a reflecting surface or a specific mark. Its function is to reflect the laser beam emitted by the laser distance sensor 7 so that the reflected laser distance sensor 7 can receive the reflected signal. By measuring the time difference between the emission and reception of the laser, the laser distance sensor 7 can calculate the distance to the light target. Since the light target is closely connected to the guide rail 10, the deformation of the guide rail 10 will directly affect the distance between the light target and the sensor.

[0038] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, Figure 1-4 As shown, a fastening ring 8 is threadedly engaged with a side of the guide rod 4 away from the guide plate 5 .

[0039] In this embodiment, the fastening ring 8 effectively prevents the guide rod 4 from loosening or displacement during operation, thereby maintaining stable contact between the guide plate 5 and the elevator guide rail 10, which helps to reduce errors and improve measurement accuracy.

[0040] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, Figure 1-2 As shown, the cross section of the limiting channel 3 is U-shaped.

[0041] In this embodiment, the U-shaped design provides two parallel side walls, which can fit tightly against the outer wall of the guide rod 4, thereby effectively limiting the lateral movement of the guide rod 4 in the limiting channel 3. This stability is essential for maintaining accurate alignment between the guide plate 5 and the elevator guide rail 10, and helps to improve the measurement accuracy.

[0042] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, Figure 1-4 As shown, a controller 9 is disposed outside the assembly seat 201 , and the controller 9 is electrically connected to the laser ranging sensor 7 , the buzzer alarm 206 and the proximity sensor 202 .

[0043] In this embodiment, the controller 9 has preset corresponding control logic for determining whether the deformation of the elevator guide rail 10 exceeds a safety threshold. When the distance data measured by the laser ranging sensor (HCS-Q) 7 changes beyond the preset threshold compared with the preset reference data, the controller 9 will determine that the guide rail 10 has been deformed. At the same time, if the proximity sensor (E3Z-R31) 202 detects abnormal changes on the surface of the guide rail 10, it will also trigger the alarm logic of the controller 9. Once the controller (STM32F103) 9 determines that an abnormal situation has occurred, it will immediately start the buzzer alarm (12085) 206 and sound an alarm to remind the operator to pay attention and take corresponding measures.

[0044] Working principle: Place the guide rail 10 in the limit channel 3 to ensure that the elevator guide rail 10 can stably and smoothly pass through the detection frame 1 during the detection process. The real-time spacing between the guide plate 5 and the elevator guide rail 10 is adjusted by rotating the guide rod 4. This adjustment function enables the detection device to adapt to guide rails 10 of different diameters, thereby expanding its application range; the semi-arc-shaped cross-section of the guide plate 5 can better adapt to the shape of the elevator guide rail 10, ensuring that the guide plate 5 can fit tightly on the side of the guide rail 10, and at the same time help to disperse the contact pressure between the guide plate 5 and the guide rail 10, reduce wear and friction, and increase the stability between the guide plate 5 and the elevator guide rail 10; the magnetic force generated by the magnet 6 helps to adsorb on the metal surface of the elevator guide rail 10. This magnetic force can reduce the gap between the guide plate 5 and the elevator guide rail 10 and improve the detection accuracy; the fastening ring 8 effectively prevents the guide rod 4 from loosening or displacement during the working process, thereby maintaining a stable contact between the guide plate 5 and the elevator guide rail 10;

[0045] The device is installed on the elevator guide rail 10 to ensure that the detection frame 1 can fit tightly on the side of the elevator guide rail 10; the detection frame 1 slides from top to bottom under the influence of gravity. In the initial state, the two detection rollers 203 are preloaded by the reset spring 204, so that the detection rollers 203 maintain a certain gap with the elevator guide rail 10 and do not directly contact; the purpose of this design is to avoid false triggering caused by normal vibration of the elevator guide rail 10; the damper is used to adjust the elastic force of the reset spring 204 to ensure that the rollers 203 do not move frequently when the elevator guide rail 10 vibrates slightly;

[0046] When the elevator is running normally, the elevator guide rail 10 remains relatively stable without obvious deformation; at this time, the detection roller 203 does not contact the elevator guide rail 10 due to the preload force, and therefore does not transmit any signal;

[0047] If the elevator guide rail 10 is deformed, the surface of the deformed portion of the guide rail 10 will be close to the detection roller 203; due to the deformation, the contact force between the guide rail 10 and the detection roller 203 will change, and this change will be transmitted to the proximity sensor 202 through the reset spring 204;

[0048] The proximity sensor 202 can sense small changes transmitted by the return spring 204, such as changes in force or displacement; when the sensed changes exceed a preset threshold, it indicates that the deformation of the elevator guide rail 10 has exceeded the allowable range;

[0049] Once the proximity sensor 202 detects a change exceeding the threshold, it will send a signal to the buzzer alarm 206; after receiving the signal, the buzzer alarm 206 will immediately sound an audible alarm to remind the staff that the elevator guide rail 10 may be deformed;

[0050] After hearing the alarm, the staff will conduct corresponding inspections and maintenance; if it is found that the elevator guide rail 10 is indeed deformed, it can be adjusted or replaced according to the situation to ensure the safe operation of the elevator;

[0051] By means of the elevator guide rail 10 deformation detection device, the state of the elevator guide rail 10 can be monitored in real time, and an alarm can be issued in time when deformation occurs, thereby ensuring the safe operation of the elevator;

[0052] The laser distance sensor 7 is installed above the detection frame 1. It uses laser technology to measure the distance to the target object. Since laser distance measurement has the characteristics of high precision and high speed, it can provide real-time and accurate data on the deformation of the guide rail 10; the light target is set on the elevator guide rail 10, usually a reflective surface or a specific mark. Its function is to reflect the laser beam emitted by the laser distance sensor 7 so that the reflected laser distance sensor 7 can receive the reflected signal. By measuring the time difference between the emission and reception of the laser, the laser distance sensor 7 can calculate the distance to the light target. Since the light target is closely connected to the guide rail 10, the deformation of the guide rail 10 will directly affect the distance between the light target and the sensor.
