Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present disclosure relates to the field of personnel transportation devices, and in particular to a hanger assembly and a personnel transportation device including the hanger assembly. Background Art

[0002] The traveling cable and balance compensation chain of the elevator are necessary components of the elevator. The reliable installation of the traveling cable and balance compensation chain directly affects the performance and operation safety of the elevator.

[0003] The traveling cable on the elevator is the main carrier for transmitting operation instructions and information exchange between the elevator car and the machine room control cabinet. One end of the traveling cable is connected and fixed to the machine room control cabinet, and the other end is connected to the elevator car and moves with the elevator car. It is not difficult to find that the elevator car needs to bear a certain proportion of the weight of the traveling cable.

[0004] As the height of buildings continues to increase, elevators are used more and more widely, and the length and number of elevator accompanying cables that match them are also increasing, so the weight of the cables is also increasing. This extra weight will affect the static balance of the elevator car, and then affect the comfort of the elevator operation.

[0005] The elevator balance compensation chain is a component that balances the operation of the elevator. During the operation of the elevator, the length of the wire rope on the car side and the counterweight side is constantly changing, which causes the weight of the wire rope on both sides of the traction wheel to change. This change has little effect on the operating performance of the elevator when the elevator lifting height is not large, but when the lifting height exceeds a certain height, it will seriously affect the stability of the elevator operation and endanger the safety of passengers. For this reason, when the elevator lifting height exceeds a certain height, an elevator balance compensation chain must be installed to balance the weight change caused by the height change.

[0006] However, there are challenges in the installation and support of the traveling cables and / or the balancing and compensating chains. For different types of elevators, it may be necessary to design corresponding suspension parts in a targeted manner. For example, the existing traveling cable brackets are usually installed on the car with fixed suspension points according to the civil engineering design, and the weight of the cable is balanced by applying counterweights to the bottom of the car. However, once the weight of the cable is large or there are deviations in the civil engineering dimensions, it will be difficult to ensure such balance during installation, construction and operation. For example, some other existing suspension devices are installed and fixed on multiple beams of the car, which have complex structures, occupy a large space, are heavy, and have high costs.

[0007] Therefore, a rack assembly structure that is universally applicable, adjustable, high-strength, and simple in structure is needed. Utility Model Content

[0008] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a hanger assembly in view of the deficiencies of the prior art, including a back plate, having a first matching portion and a second matching portion spaced apart along a first direction; a mounting member, including a C-shaped bending section and a first mounting section and a second mounting section respectively adjacent to both ends of the bending section, the first mounting section and the second mounting section being arranged parallel to the back plate and located in different planes to respectively match with the first matching portion and the second matching portion; a first hanging member, the first end of the first hanging member being arranged between the first matching portion and the first mounting section, the first matching portion, the first end and the first mounting section being fastened together by fasteners, and the second end of the first hanging member opposite to the first end extending away from the second mounting section in the first direction. Wherein, the back plate cooperates with the bending section to form a sleeve surrounded on all sides and penetrating in the second direction, and the first direction is perpendicular to the second direction.

[0009] According to the hanger assembly disclosed in the present invention, it can be installed on a single beam of the car and the suspension position can be changed along the beam to replace the most suitable suspension point for different elevator models, which is convenient for realizing static balance adjustment of the car and helps to improve the comfort of elevator operation. According to the hanger assembly disclosed in the present invention, different detachable hangers can be integrated, and different supporting functions can be realized by replacing different hangers. Thus, different objects can be mounted through a set of components, such as supporting different types of accompanying cables and / or balance compensation chains. Therefore, there is no need to design and manufacture different components for different objects, which is conducive to mass production and greatly reduces costs and assembly difficulty.

[0010] For example, according to some technical solutions of the present disclosure, the bracket assembly also includes one or more adjustment plates, which are installed to the back plate and / or the mounting member between the first mating portion and the second mating portion, and the adjustment plate is located in the sleeve to adjust the size of the interior of the sleeve at the adjustment plate.

[0011] For example, according to some technical solutions of the present disclosure, the first mounting section is farther away from the back plate than the second mounting section in a direction perpendicular to the back plate.

[0012] For example, according to some technical solutions of the present disclosure, before the mounting member is not tightly fitted with the back plate and the mounting member and the back plate are deformed, the distance between the planes on which the surfaces of the first mounting section and the second mounting section facing the back plate are located is 2-4 mm larger than the thickness of the first end portion.

[0013] For example, according to some technical solutions of the present disclosure, the second end is coplanar or perpendicular to the first end.

[0014] For example, according to some technical solutions of the present disclosure, the bracket assembly further includes a second hanger, and the second hanger is mounted to the second matching portion on a side of the back plate opposite to the mounting member.

[0015] The present disclosure also proposes a personnel transportation device, comprising a mounting beam extending along a second direction and a bracket assembly according to any of the aforementioned technical solutions, wherein a sleeve is formed to surround the mounting beam so that the bracket assembly is fixed to the mounting beam.

[0016] For example, according to some technical solutions of the present disclosure, the size of the mounting beam along the first direction is uneven, and the bracket assembly includes one or more adjustment pads, which are installed to the back plate and / or the mounting member between the first mating portion and the second mating portion, and the adjustment pad is located in the sleeve, so that the mounting beam is clamped against the adjustment pad at the adjustment pad.

[0017] For example, according to some technical solutions of the present disclosure, the second end of the first hanger includes a first traveling cable support, and the personnel transportation device includes a first traveling cable, wherein the first traveling cable support supports the first traveling cable.

[0018] For example, according to some technical solutions of the present disclosure, the second end of the first hanger includes a shackle, and the personnel transportation device includes a balancing compensation chain, wherein the shackle supports the balancing compensation chain.

[0019] For example, according to some technical solutions of the present disclosure, the second hanger has two sections that are perpendicular to each other, one section of the second hanger is fixed to the back plate, and a second traveling cable support is fixed to the other section of the second hanger, and the personnel transportation device includes a second traveling cable, wherein the second traveling cable support is used to support the second traveling cable.

[0034] In order to make the purpose, scheme and advantages of the technical solution of the present disclosure clearer, the technical solution of the embodiment of the present disclosure will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the drawings of the specific embodiments of the present disclosure. Unless otherwise specified, the terms used herein have the usual meanings in the art. The same reference numerals in the drawings represent the same components.

[0035] In the description of the present disclosure, it should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installed", "connected", and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection, or it can be indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, or it can be the internal communication of two components. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present disclosure can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0036] For the sake of convenience, in the present disclosure, the spacing direction between the first matching portion and the second matching portion on the back plate is designated as the first direction D1, the extending direction of the mounting frame is designated as the second direction D2, the first direction D1 is perpendicular to the second direction D2, and the back plate is parallel to the first direction D1 and the second direction D2. Figure 1 to Figure 2 as well as Figures 4 to 6As indicated by the black arrow.

[0037] Figure 1 and Figure 2 Exploded stereoscopic schematic diagrams of the rack assembly according to the embodiment of the present disclosure are respectively shown

[0038] and side view. Combined Figure 1 and Figure 2 According to the present disclosure, the rack assembly may include a back plate 3, a mounting member 5

[0039] and a first hanger 1, which is fixed to a mounting beam 6 (such as Figures 4 to 6 shown).

[0040] Specifically, the back plate 3 extends parallel to the first direction D1 and the second direction D2, and includes a first matching portion 31 and a second matching portion 32 spaced apart along the first direction D1. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the first matching portion 31 and the second matching portion 32 can be disposed at both ends of the back plate 3 along the first direction D1. The first matching portion 31 and the second matching portion 32 of the back plate 3 are used to match with the mounting member 5 to form an annular sleeve that can be fastened to the mounting beam.

[0041] Specifically, the mounting member may include a C-shaped bending section 53 and a first mounting section 51 and a second mounting section 52 adjacent to both ends of the bending section 53. The first mounting section 51 and the second mounting section 52 are parallel to each other so as to be able to respectively cooperate with the first matching portion 31 and the second matching portion 32 of the back plate 3, so that the back plate 3 and the mounting member 5 are fastened to each other. For example, the first matching portion 31 and the second matching portion 32 may be provided with through holes, and the first mounting section 51 and the second mounting section 52 may also be provided with through holes, so that all are fastened by screws. In addition, other fastening methods that can be thought of in the art are also possible, such as but not limited to riveting, welding, gluing, etc.

[0042] Thus, the back plate 3 and the bent section 53 of the mounting member 5 form a sleeve surrounded on all sides and penetrating in the second direction D2, and the sleeve may have an inner contour that matches the outer contour of the mounting beam, so that the formed sleeve surrounds the mounting beam 6 so that the bracket assembly is fixed to the mounting beam 6. In particular, the bent section 53 may be a C-shaped structure formed by three straight plates, two of which are perpendicular to the remaining straight plate. Furthermore, the sleeve formed by the bent section 53 and the straight plate 6 has a rectangular cross-section, and the corresponding mounting beam 6 may also have a rectangular shape. The rectangular contour is more conducive to the stability of the fixation and can prevent the bracket assembly from moving around the mounting beam 6.

[0043] In addition, different mounting beams 6 may have different sizes, or the mounting beams 6 may have irregular cross-sectional shapes. In particular, for existing large-scale produced and used beams, the size thereof along the first direction D1 is uneven, that is, the thicknesses at the two opposite ends in the first direction D1 are different, for example, the thickness is smaller near the first mounting section 51. In order to solve this problem and achieve a more stable mounting fit, the bracket assembly according to the present disclosure may include one or more adjustment pads 4, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, an adjustment pad 4 can be provided, and the adjustment pad 4 can be fixed to the back plate 6. In particular, the adjustment pad is installed between the first matching portion and the second matching portion and is located in the formed sleeve, so that the size of the inside of the sleeve at the adjustment pad can be adjusted, so that the inner contour of the remaining space in the sleeve is more consistent with the outer contour of the mounting beam 6, so that the mounting beam 6 is clamped against the adjustment pad 4 at the adjustment pad 4. In addition, the adjustment pad 4 can also be provided on the bent section 53 of the mounting member 5, as shown in FIG. Figure 4 In particular, optionally, an adjustment pad 4 can be provided on both the back plate 3 and the mounting member 5 .

[0044] Further, the first hanger 1 of the hanger assembly according to the present disclosure may have a first end 11 and a second end 12 opposite to each other in the first direction D1, wherein the first end 11 is used to be fixed to the back plate 3 and / or the mounting member 5, in particular, fixed to the back plate 3 and / or the mounting member 5 at the same time, for example, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the first end portion 11 can be arranged between the first matching portion 31 and the first mounting section 51, and in particular, clamped by the first matching portion 31 and the first mounting section 51. Thus, the first mounting section 51 and the second mounting section 52 are arranged parallel to the back plate and located in different planes, such as Figure 3 As shown, the first mounting section 51 may be further away from the back plate 3 than the second mounting section 52 in a direction perpendicular to the back plate 3 , thereby reserving space for the thickness of the first end portion 11 so that the first end portion 11 can be installed between the first mounting section 51 and the back plate 6 .

[0045] On this basis, in order to further ensure the stability and safety of the installation, such as Figure 2 As shown, before the mounting member 5 is not fastened with the back plate 3 to deform the mounting member 5 and the back plate 3, such as before the fastener (e.g., screw) at the first matching portion 31 is not fastened, that is, when the back plate 3 and the mounting member 5 are not deformed due to the fastening force of the fastener, the planes of the surfaces of the first mounting section 51 and the second mounting section 52 facing the back plate are located (e.g., Figure 3 The distance between the two dotted lines in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 is greater than the thickness of the first end portion 11 by 2-4 mm, that is, a gap G of 2-4 mm is provided. The gap G is as shown in FIG. Figure 2As shown by the two opposite arrows in FIG. 1 , after being fastened by the fastener, the gap G disappears so that the first end portion 11 is clamped by the first matching portion 31 and the first mounting section 51, which means that the back plate 3 and the mounting member 5 have a total deformation of 2-4 mm in the direction of abutting against each other, thereby ensuring that the sleeve formed by the back plate 3 and the mounting member 5 is fastened relative to the mounting beam 6, thereby ensuring the reliability and safety of the installation.

[0046] Furthermore, the second end 12 of the first hanging member 1 may be provided with a functional component, for example, Figure 1 to Figure 2 as well as Figures 4 to 5 The first traveling cable support 13 shown, the first traveling cable assembly 13 can be used to support the first traveling cable (not shown), especially the first traveling cable is a high-speed traveling cable used in high-speed elevators (whose car can move at a speed greater than 2.5m / s relative to the shaft).

[0047] like Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the second end 12 can be parallel to the first end 11, for example, coplanar, and in particular, the two are integrally formed as a same component. Figure 5 As shown, the second end 12 can be perpendicular to the first end 11, and in particular, the two are different components connected to each other by an additional connector. Thus, according to different orientations of the accompanying cable, the first hanger 1 with the second end 12 having the corresponding orientation can be selected.

[0048] The functional component of the first pendant 1 according to the present disclosure may also be a shackle 14, such as Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, one or more shackles 14 can be mounted to the second end 12 for supporting a balancing and compensating chain (not shown). Thus, the bracket assembly for supporting the balancing and compensating chain and the bracket assembly for supporting the accompanying cable can share the remaining components except the first bracket to reduce cost and assembly difficulty.

[0049] Further, the rack assembly according to the present disclosure may also include a second hanger 2, which can be mounted to the second matching portion 32, in particular, mounted on a side of the back plate opposite to the mounting member, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown. The second hanger may have two mutually perpendicular sections, one section of the second hanger is fixed to the back plate 3, and the second accompanying cable support 21 may be fixed to the other section of the second hanger. The second accompanying cable support 21 can be used to support a second accompanying cable (not shown), especially the second accompanying cable is a low-speed accompanying cable used in a low-speed elevator (the maximum speed of the car relative to the hoistway can be less than 2.5m / s). Therefore, the hanger assembly according to the present disclosure is applicable to different types of elevators.

[0050] The present disclosure also provides a personnel transportation device, such as but not limited to elevators, escalators, etc. The personnel transportation device according to the present disclosure includes a mounting beam 6 and the above-mentioned bracket assembly. The size of the mounting beam 6 along the first direction D1 can be uniform or non-uniform. Regardless of whether the size is uniform or not, the bracket assembly according to the present disclosure is applicable and can be installed and fixed to the mounting beam 6 in the manner described above. In particular, the bracket assembly can be fixed at any position along the mounting beam 6.

[0051] For example, the personnel transport device is a high-speed elevator, whose car (not shown) can move at a speed greater than 2.5 m / s relative to a shaft (not shown). The personnel transport device includes a first accompanying cable, which is used to transmit operating instructions and information exchange between the elevator car and the machine room control cabinet. One end of the first accompanying cable is connected and fixed to the machine room control cabinet, and the other end is connected to the elevator car and moves with the elevator car. The bracket assembly includes a first hanging member 1 provided with a first accompanying cable support member 13, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the first traveling cable is supported by a first traveling cable support 13 .

[0052] For example, the personnel transport device is a low-speed elevator, and the maximum moving speed of its car (not shown) relative to the shaft (not shown) is less than 2.5 m / s. The personnel transport device includes a second accompanying cable, and the second accompanying cable is used to transmit operating instructions and information exchange between the elevator car and the machine room control cabinet. One end of the second accompanying cable is connected and fixed to the machine room control cabinet, and the other end is connected to the elevator car and moves with the elevator car. The bracket assembly includes a second hanging member 2 provided with a second accompanying cable support member 21, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the second traveling cable is supported by a second traveling cable support 13 .

[0053] During the operation of the elevator, the length of the steel wire ropes on the car side and the counterweight side is constantly changing, which causes the weight of the steel wire ropes on both sides of the traction wheel to change. Therefore, the personnel transportation device according to the present disclosure may also include a balancing compensation chain (not shown), which is used to balance the operation of the elevator to balance the weight change caused by the height change. The hanger assembly includes a first hanger 1 provided with a shackle 14, such as Figure 6 As shown, the balancing and compensating chain is supported by a shackle.

[0054] It should be understood that the above description is intended to illustrate rather than limit.
