Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of elevator safety protection, in particular to a fall arrester for an elevator. Background Art

[0002] The elevator anti-fall device is a safety device designed to prevent the elevator from falling when a malfunction occurs, thereby protecting the lives of passengers. When an abnormality occurs in the elevator, such as a broken wire rope or loss of traction, the anti-fall device will quickly activate and prevent the elevator from further falling through friction or other mechanical forces.

[0003] There are many types of elevator fall arresters, among which the elevator safety clamp is one of the key safety devices in the elevator system. Its function is to stop the car urgently and clamp it on the guide rail through the operation of the speed limiter when the elevator running speed exceeds the speed limit set by the speed limiter, or when the suspension rope breaks and loosens. This process can effectively prevent the risk of falling caused by elevator failure and ensure the safety of passengers.

[0004] However, the existing safety clamp design has certain limitations. When the wedge of the safety clamp quickly clamps the guide rail to achieve emergency braking, due to the lack of a buffer mechanism, a large impact force will be generated during the braking process. This rapid and strong locking action not only reduces the stability of the braking process, but may also cause excessive tension on the elevator wire rope, thereby posing a risk of breakage. Therefore, we provide an elevator fall arrester with a buffering effect. Utility Model Content

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0024] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0025] Example: See Figures 1 to 5 According to an embodiment of the utility model, a technical solution is provided: an elevator fall arrester, installed between the elevator car and the guide rail, the fall arrester comprises a clamp seat 1 fixed to the elevator car and a movable clamp block 2 movably arranged on the clamp seat 1 and capable of clamping on the guide rail when the elevator falls accidentally, the movable clamp block 2 comprises a fixed part 20, a movable part 21 slidably connected to the fixed part 20 along the movement direction of the elevator car relative to the fixed part 20, and an elastic element arranged therebetween, the elastic element being constructed to be able to apply an elastic force to the movable part 21 in the direction of the elevator car falling. When the elevator car falls unexpectedly, the movable clamp block 2 clamps the guide rail, and the movable part 21 of the movable clamp block 2 is in direct contact with the guide rail. Under the action of friction, the movable part 21 moves relative to the fixed part 20 in the direction opposite to the falling direction of the elevator car. At this time, the impact force generated by the fall of the elevator car can act on the elastic element, which can effectively reduce the sense of frustration when the elevator car falls, improve the stability of the braking process, avoid excessive tension on the elevator wire rope, and reduce the risk of wire rope breakage.

[0026] In this exemplary embodiment, two movable jaws 2 are provided, and the jaw seat 1 has a mounting cavity 10 for mounting the two movable jaws 2. The two movable jaws 2 are spaced apart and symmetrically arranged in the mounting cavity 10, and the jaw seat 1 is provided with a notch 11 corresponding to the gap position of the two movable jaws 2. The two movable jaws 2 and the notch 11 on the jaw seat 1 form a linear channel. When installed, the elevator slide rail is placed in the linear channel. When the elevator car falls due to an accident, the two movable jaws 2 can be clamped on the guide rail at the same time to improve the braking effect.

[0027] In this exemplary embodiment, a fixed clamp block 4 is also included. The fixed clamp block 4 is fixed on the clamp seat 1. The fixed clamp block 4 and the movable clamp block 2 are both wedges. The movable clamp block 2 is connected to the speed limiter wire rope of the elevator through a lifting mechanism. It can be understood that when the elevator running speed exceeds the rated speed, the speed limiter will trigger the action. At this time, the brake rope block of the speed limiter will apply pressure to the speed limiter wire rope to stop it from moving, and drive the movable clamp block 2 to move in the opposite direction of the elevator car falling direction through the lifting mechanism. Since the fixed clamp block 4 and the movable clamp block 2 are both wedges, the movable clamp block 2 will also move in the direction close to the guide rail at the same time, thereby achieving clamping and braking of the guide rail. Of course, as long as the movable clamp block 2 can be driven to move and finally clamped to the guide rail when the elevator car falls accidentally, there is no special restriction on the specific driving method of the movable clamp block 2.

[0028] In this exemplary embodiment, the lifting mechanism includes a pull rod 5 and a connecting rod 6 fixed at one end of the pull rod 5, a sliding hole 60 is provided on the connecting rod 6, and a slider 200 is provided on the fixed portion 20 of the movable clamp block 2, which can slide with the sliding hole 60 in a direction perpendicular to the moving direction of the elevator car. In specific implementation, the other end of the connecting rod 6 is connected to the speed limiter wire rope. When the elevator car falls accidentally, the brake rope block of the speed limiter will apply pressure to the speed limiter wire rope to stop it from moving. At this time, the speed limiter wire rope will apply a pulling force in the direction opposite to the falling direction of the elevator car to the connecting rod 6, thereby pulling the movable clamp block 2 close to and clamping it to the elevator slide rail, thereby achieving the anti-fall braking effect of the elevator. Of course, as long as the movable clamp block 2 can be pulled close to and clamped to the elevator slide rail when the elevator car falls accidentally, there is no special restriction on the specific structural form of the lifting mechanism.

[0029] In this exemplary embodiment, the elastic element is a compression spring 3, a columnar connection block 210 is provided on the movable part 21, a connection hole 201 is provided on the fixed part 20, and the connection block 210 is slidably connected to the connection hole 201 along the moving direction of the elevator car. The compression spring 3 is arranged in the connection hole 201 and presses against the compression spring 3. When the movable part 21 moves relative to the fixed part 20 in the direction opposite to the falling direction of the elevator car, the impact force generated by the falling of the elevator car can act on the compression spring 3, and the compression spring 3 is used to reduce the sense of frustration when the elevator car falls, thereby improving the stability of the braking process. Of course, as long as the elastic force in the falling direction of the elevator car can be applied to the movable part 21, there is no special restriction on the specific structural form of the elastic element.

[0030] In this exemplary embodiment, balls 7 are provided on the fixed part 20 located on both sides of the connection hole 201, and ball grooves 212 are provided on the movable part 21 along the moving direction of the elevator car. The balls 7 and the ball grooves 212 can effectively reduce the resistance when relative movement occurs between the fixed part 20 and the movable part 21, thereby ensuring the buffering effect when the elevator car falls.

[0031] In this exemplary embodiment, an anti-skid structure is provided on the side of the fixing part 20 facing the guide rail when it is installed. Specifically, the anti-skid structure can be an anti-skid pattern or anti-skid material provided on the fixing part 20. Specifically in this embodiment, the anti-skid structure is three anti-skid grooves 211 provided on the fixing part 20. By providing the anti-skid structure, the braking effect of the anti-fall device can be ensured.

[0032] Working principle: First, the clamp seat 1 of the anti-fall device is fixedly installed on the elevator car, so that the elevator slide rail is between the two movable clamp blocks 2, and the pull rod 5 of the anti-fall device is connected to the wire rope of the speed limiter. When the elevator car is operating normally, the wire rope of the speed limiter and the elevator car move synchronously. When the elevator car falls due to an accident, the speed limiter of the elevator will be triggered. At this time, the brake rope block of the speed limiter will exert pressure on the wire rope of the speed limiter to stop it from moving, and drive the movable clamp block 2 to move in the opposite direction of the elevator car falling direction through the lifting mechanism. Due to the fixed clamp block 4 and the movable The clamp blocks 2 are all wedges, so that the two movable clamp blocks 2 will move towards the direction close to the guide rail at the same time, thereby achieving clamping and braking of the guide rail. During the braking process, the movable part 21 of the movable clamp block 2 is in direct contact with the guide rail. Under the action of friction, the movable part 21 moves relative to the fixed part 20 in the direction opposite to the direction of the elevator car falling. At this time, the impact force generated by the fall of the elevator car can act on the compression spring 3. The compression spring 3 can effectively reduce the sense of frustration when the elevator car falls, improve the stability of the braking process, avoid excessive tension on the elevator wire rope, and reduce the risk of wire rope breakage.

[0033] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
