Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of transportation equipment, in particular to a traction device for a freight elevator. Background Art

[0002] Freight elevators usually use traction devices to achieve the function of vertical transportation of goods. This traction device is usually driven by an electric motor and connected to the lifting platform of the freight elevator through ropes or steel belts. When the motor is started, it drives the ropes or steel belts, thereby raising or lowering the lifting platform of the freight elevator;

[0003] When the traction device for a traditional freight elevator needs to adjust the tension between the traction wheel and the rope, the fixing screw can be loosened manually to adjust the position of the sleeve, thereby changing the contact point position between the traction wheel and the rope or steel belt to adjust the tension;

[0004] Traditional traction devices for freight elevators have the following problems: the accuracy of manual adjustment is affected by the operator's skills and experience, and may not meet the requirements of high-precision tension adjustment, resulting in poor adjustment effect. In addition, manual adjustment of the traction wheel position needs to be performed during operation, and the operator may face the risk of accidental injury due to misoperation, especially when operating at heights or in a small space. Accidents are more likely to occur. For this reason, we propose a traction device for freight elevators. Utility Model Content

[0009] Tensioning adjustment mechanism: It is arranged at the front side of the top of the wall, and the tensioning adjustment mechanism is installed in coordination with the rope;

[0010] Among them: it also includes a single-chip microcomputer, which is arranged on the right side of the wall. The output end of the single-chip microcomputer is electrically connected to the input end of the traction machine. No manual intervention is required when adjusting the tension, which can greatly reduce labor costs and operation time, and reduce safety risks caused by human operation errors. Especially when operating at high places or in a small space, automatic adjustment can reduce the risk of operators.

[0014] Furthermore, the tensioning adjustment mechanism includes a fixed frame, a slider, a rotating shaft, a guide slide groove and a traction wheel. The fixed frame is fixedly connected to the left and right ends of the upper surface of the wall respectively. The interior of the fixed frame is provided with a guide slide groove. The inner walls of the guide slide groove are slidably connected with sliders. A rotating shaft is rotatably connected between the two sliders. A traction wheel is provided on the middle fixed sleeve of the rotating shaft. The traction wheel is installed in cooperation with the rope to ensure the rotation of the traction wheel.

[0015] Furthermore, the tensioning adjustment mechanism also includes a screw and a sliding column.

The outer surface of the screw is threadedly connected to the slider at the left end, and the outer surface of the sliding column is slidably connected to the middle part of the slider at the right end, thereby adjusting the tension of the rope.

[0016] Furthermore, the tensioning adjustment mechanism also includes a motor, which is arranged at the top of the fixed frame at the left end, the bottom end of the output shaft of the motor is fixedly connected to the top end of the screw, and the input end of the motor is electrically connected to the output end of the single-chip microcomputer to drive the tensioning adjustment mechanism to operate.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following advantages:

[0018] 1. When the goods need to be raised or lowered, the traction machine is controlled by the single-chip microcomputer. The traction machine rotates through the traction wheel to drive the rope to start running.

The output shaft of the motor drives the screw to rotate, and the rotation of the screw is connected to the slider at the left end through a threaded connection, thereby driving the slider at the left end to slide on the inner wall of the guide slot at the left end and move up or down. At the same time, it drives the slider at the right end to slide on the inner wall of the guide slot at the right end and move up or down. Since the traction wheel is fixedly sleeved in the middle of the rotating shaft, the position of the traction wheel will also be adjusted up or down accordingly. In this way, the contact point position of the rope and the traction wheel will change, thereby adjusting the tension of the rope, which can ensure that the rope or steel belt always maintains appropriate tension under different load conditions to ensure the normal operation and safety of the freight elevator. At the same time, no manual intervention is required, which can greatly reduce labor costs and operation time, and reduce safety risks caused by human operating errors. Especially when operating at high altitudes or in narrow spaces, automatic adjustment can reduce the risk of operators. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

The screw 43 rotates through a threaded connection with the slider 44 at the left end, thereby driving the slider 44 at the left end to slide on the inner wall of the guide slot 46 at the left end to move upward or downward, and at the same time drives the slider 44 at the right end to slide on the inner wall of the guide slot 46 at the right end to move upward or downward. Since the traction wheel 47 is fixedly sleeved on the middle part of the rotating shaft 45, the position of the traction wheel 47 will also be adjusted upward or downward accordingly. In this way, the contact point position of the rope 3 and the traction wheel 47 will change, thereby adjusting the tension of the rope, which can ensure that the rope or steel belt always maintains an appropriate tension under different load conditions to ensure the normal operation and safety of the freight elevator. At the same time, no manual intervention is required, which can greatly reduce labor costs and operation time, and reduce safety risks caused by human operation errors. Especially when operating at high places or in narrow spaces, automatic adjustment can reduce the risks of operators.
