Abstract
Description

[0002] An elevator (vertical elevator) is a transportation device for vertically transporting pedestrians or goods, and is widely used in people's daily lives. An elevator is mainly driven by structures such as a traction machine, traction ropes, a guide wheel, and a counterweight rope pulley group, and is usually braked by a speed limiter on the traction machine in case of a failure to ensure the system safety of the elevator.

[0053] The present utility model provides an elevator car limiting device, which mainly combines a counterweight mechanism and a deceleration mechanism to achieve the effect of double speed reduction and improve the success rate of protecting personnel safety when dealing with the over-speed falling of the car.
[0054] The following will detail an elevator car limiting device of the present application through the following embodiments.
[0055] In this embodiment, as Figures 1 to 4 shown, the elevator car limiting device includes: a car 1 and a counterweight assembly 2, both of which are slidably arranged in the elevator shaft;
[0056] A traction machine 3, which is respectively connected to the car 1 and the counterweight assembly 2 and is used to drive the car 1 and the counterweight assembly 2 to move up and down;
[0057] A speed measuring mechanism (not shown in the figure), which is arranged in the elevator shaft and is used to measure the moving speed of the car 1;
[0058] A deceleration mechanism 5, which is arranged at the bottom of the elevator shaft and is used to slow down the descending speed of the car 1.
[0059] In this embodiment, it further includes: a weight measuring mechanism (not shown in the figure), which is arranged on the car 1 and is used to measure the load weight of the car 1;
[0060] A counterweight mechanism 4, connected to the counterweight assembly 2, is used to adjust the weight of the counterweight assembly 2.
[0061] In this technical solution, the car 1 is slidably arranged up and down on the front side of the elevator shaft, and the counterweight assembly 2 is slidably arranged up and down on the rear side of the elevator shaft. The counterweight assembly 2 is composed of multiple overlapping counterweight blocks. The traction machine 3 is fixed on the top of the elevator shaft. The traction machine 3 is connected to the car 1 and the counterweight assembly 2 respectively through traction ropes. By driving the traction machine 3, the car 1 can be driven to rise while driving the counterweight assembly 2 to descend, or the car 1 can be driven to descend while driving the counterweight assembly 2 to rise. The speed measurement mechanism (not shown in the figure) is a plurality of opposed light sensors uniformly arranged in the elevator shaft in the vertical direction. The descending speed of the car 1 is calculated by the duration of the car 1 blocking the opposed sensors.
[0062] The weight measurement mechanism (not shown in the figure) refers to the method of measuring the passenger weight in an elevator in the prior art. It can also set one or more weight sensors at the bottom of the car 1 to measure the load weight through the weight sensors; it can also estimate the load weight by counting the number of people in the car 1 and multiplying by the average weight.
[0063] The counterweight mechanism 4 is connected to the counterweight assembly 2 and can fill an appropriate amount of water into the counterweight box 401 fixed on the counterweight assembly 2 as needed to increase the overall weight of the counterweight assembly 2 and the counterweight box 401, or can also extract an appropriate amount of water from the counterweight box 401 as needed to reduce the overall weight of the counterweight assembly 2 and the counterweight box 401.
[0064] The deceleration mechanism 5 is arranged at the bottom of the elevator shaft. The fixed position of the connecting rope 501 of the deceleration mechanism 5 has a certain height from the bottom surface of the elevator shaft. When idle, each connecting rope 501 of the deceleration mechanism 5 is in a loose state and does not affect the normal up and down movement of the elevator; when the speed measurement mechanism measures that the descending speed of the car 1 exceeds the predetermined speed, the connecting ropes 501 of the deceleration mechanism 5 are wound up to a tensioned state, so that the car 1 contacts each connecting rope 501 first before hitting the bottom of the elevator shaft, achieving the purpose of excessive buffering.
[0065] In actual use, the counterweight mechanism 4 can first fill the counterweight box 401 with excessive water to increase the deceleration rate of the car 1, and then extract a certain amount of water to adjust the running speed of the decelerated car 1.
[0066] In this embodiment, the counterweight mechanism 4 includes:
[0067] A counterweight box 401, which is hollow and fixedly arranged on the counterweight assembly 2 and is provided with a connection hole;
[0068] A water pump 402, which is communicated with the counterweight box 401 and is used to adjust the water volume in the counterweight box 401.
[0069] In this technical solution, the counterweight box 401 is fixed to the rear side of the counterweight assembly 2. A connection hole is provided on the rear side of the counterweight box 401. The water pump 402 is communicated with the counterweight box 401 through a connecting pipe, and the connecting pipe passes through the connection hole and extends to the bottom inside the counterweight box 401, facilitating the increase or decrease of the water volume inside the counterweight box 401 by controlling the rotation direction of the water pump 402.
[0070] In some technical solutions, a flow meter is provided at a position of the connecting pipe close to the connection hole, facilitating the accurate calculation of the water volume flowing in and out of the counterweight box 401.
[0071] In this embodiment, the counterweight mechanism 4 further includes:
[0072] A folding pipe assembly 403, with two ends respectively communicated with the counterweight box 401 and the water pump 402. The folding pipe assembly 403 includes:
[0073] A plurality of rigid pipes 404. A hose 405 is provided between each adjacent pair of rigid pipes 404, and each rigid pipe 404 and each hose 405 are communicated in sequence.
[0074] In this technical solution, the folding pipe assembly 403 is provided to facilitate ensuring the smoothness of water flow. The top end of the folding pipe assembly 403 is communicated with the connecting pipe, and the bottom end of the folding pipe assembly 403 is communicated with the water pump 402. The other end of the water pump 402 is communicated with a water source. The outer layer of the rigid pipe 404 is set as a rectangle, and the inner layer is set as a circle with the same diameter as the hose 405. The outer layer of the rigid pipe 404 is made of a metal material, and the inner layer of the rigid pipe 404 and the hose 405 are made of a rubber or plastic material. The water pumped by the water pump 402 flows into the counterweight box 401 through each rigid pipe 404, each hose 405 and the connecting pipe.
[0075] During use, each rigid pipe 404 and each hose 405 of the folding pipe assembly 403 will be unfolded or stacked and contracted as the counterweight assembly 2 moves up and down. The folding pipe assembly 403 is set as a combination of rigid pipes 404 and hoses 405, facilitating the subsequent use of the limiting component 406 to stack the folding pipe assembly 403 in the same vertical plane when it is contracted. Such a setting also facilitates the folding pipe assembly 403 to convey water to the counterweight box 401 when the car 1 is in any position.
[0076] In this embodiment, the folding pipe assembly 403 further includes:
[0077] A number of limiting components 406. A limiting component 406 is provided between each adjacent pair of rigid pipes 404. The limiting component 406 is used to make each rigid pipe 404 overlap vertically with each other when the folding pipe assembly 403 is stacked.
[0078] In this technical solution, a limiting component 406 is provided to limit the direction of the shrinkage and stacking of the rigid tubes 404, facilitating the stacking of each rigid tube 404 in the same vertical plane and avoiding the chaos of the folding tube assembly 403.
[0079] In this embodiment, the limiting component 406 includes:
[0080] A first limiting member 407, hinged to the Nth rigid tube 404;
[0081] A second limiting member 408, hinged to the (N + 1)th rigid tube 404, and the first limiting member 407 and the second limiting member 408 are hinged to each other, where N is an integer greater than or equal to 1.
[0082] In this technical solution, both the first limiting member 407 and the second limiting member 408 are in the shape of an H. A limiting component 406 is provided between any two adjacent rigid tubes 404. The upper one of any two adjacent rigid tubes 404 can be called the Nth, and the lower one can be called the (N + 1)th. One end of the first limiting member 407 is hinged to the lower side of the upper rigid tube 404, one end of the second limiting member 408 is hinged to the upper side of the lower rigid tube 404, and the mutually approaching ends of the first limiting member 407 and the second limiting member 408 are hinged to each other through a pin shaft.
[0083] In some technical solutions, grooves for accommodating the first limiting member 407 and the second limiting member 408 are provided on the mutually approaching sides of two adjacent rigid tubes 404.
[0084] Except for the uppermost rigid tube 404 and the lowermost rigid tube 404 which are only connected to one limiting component 406, the remaining rigid tubes 404 are all connected to two limiting components 406.
[0085] In this embodiment, the deceleration mechanism 5 includes:
[0086] A plurality of connecting ropes 501, all extending to both sides of the car 1. The first ends of each connecting rope 501 are fixedly arranged, and the second ends of each connecting rope 501 are connected to a winding mechanism 502, and the winding mechanism 502 is used to adjust the extended length of each connecting rope 501;
[0087] A clamping mechanism 503, arranged between the winding mechanism 502 and the car 1, for clamping each connecting rope 501.
[0088] In this embodiment, a spring 508 is provided at the first end of the connecting rope 501.
[0089] In this technical solution, the first end refers to the left end, and the second end refers to the right end. The left ends of the connecting ropes 501 are uniformly fixed on the upper side of a fixing plate. A spring 508 is connected to the lower side of the fixing plate, and the bottom end of the spring 508 is fixed. The right ends of the connecting ropes 501 are uniformly wound around a winding mechanism 502 in the front and back. A clamping mechanism 503 is arranged between the winding mechanism 502 and the right side of the car 1.
[0090] When idle, the connecting ropes 501 are laid on the bottom surface of the elevator shaft in a slack state. When the speed measuring mechanism measures that the descending speed of the car 1 exceeds the specified speed, the winding mechanism 502 winds the connecting ropes 501 to make the connecting ropes 501 taut. Then the clamping mechanism 503 is opened to clamp a part of the connecting ropes 501 between the right side of the taut car 1 and the winding mechanism 502. When the car 1 descends and impacts the connecting ropes 501, the left side receives the elastic force of the spring 508, and the right side allows the connecting ropes 501 to slip out between the clamping mechanisms 503. At the same time, in order to cooperate with the connecting ropes 501 to slip out after being impacted, the winding mechanism 502 can be reversely opened after the clamping mechanism 503 clamps the connecting ropes 501, which can not only prevent the winding mechanism 502 from being damaged, but also increase the buffer distance allowed by the connecting ropes 501 for the car 1 to a certain extent.
[0091] In some technical solutions, guide rods for adjusting the running direction of the connecting ropes 501 are provided on the side walls at the bottom of the elevator shaft.
[0092] In this embodiment, the rotating roller of the winding mechanism 502 is provided with a plurality of partition members 504, and the second ends of the connecting ropes 501 are respectively placed between two adjacent partition members 504.
[0093] In this technical solution, the winding mechanism 502 is a roller driven by a motor, and the roller is rotatably arranged on the side wall of the elevator shaft. The partition members 504 are circular plates and are coaxially fixed on the roller of the winding mechanism 502 at intervals. This setting facilitates the winding and unwinding of the connecting ropes 501 and reduces the mutual influence.
[0094] In this embodiment, the clamping mechanism 503 includes:
[0095] A first pair of clamping blocks 505, fixedly arranged in the elevator shaft;
[0096] A second pair of clamping blocks 506, movably arranged corresponding to the first pair of clamping blocks 505, and the connecting ropes 501 pass between the first pair of clamping blocks 505 and the second pair of clamping blocks 506;
[0097] A driving mechanism 507, connected to the second pair of clamping blocks 506, for driving the second pair of clamping blocks 506 to move;
[0098] The mutually approaching sides of the first pair of clamping blocks 505 and the second pair of clamping blocks 506 are provided with concave and convex patterns.
[0099] In this technical solution, the first pair of clamping blocks 505 are fixed on the bottom surface of the elevator shaft, the second pair of clamping blocks 506 are arranged above the first pair of clamping blocks 505 in a vertically slidable manner, there is a gap for each connecting rope 501 to pass between the first pair of clamping blocks 505 and the second pair of clamping blocks 506, the driving mechanism 507 is a cylinder arranged above the second pair of clamping blocks 506, and the top surface of the first pair of clamping blocks 505 and the bottom surface of the second pair of clamping blocks 506 are provided with mutually adapted concave and convex patterns. When in use, the driving mechanism 507 is activated to drive the second pair of clamping blocks 506 to move downward, so as to clamp and fix the connecting rope 501 and improve the bearing capacity of the tensioned connecting rope 501.
