[0021] The following combines the accompanying drawings and embodiments to further describe the specific implementation mode of the present invention. The following embodiments are only used to more clearly illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and cannot be used to limit the protection scope of the present invention.

[0022] "Top surface", "bottom", and "bottom surface" are referenced based on the normal use state of the flat layer inductor, and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or component referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be construed as a limitation to the present invention.

[0023] As Figures 1-4 shown, a high-speed elevator flat layer inductor includes a light-shielding plate 1 and a U-shaped main body 2. Photoelectric induction components 201 are arranged at both ends of the main body 2. The main body 2 has a slot 206 for inserting a transparent cover plate 3. The transparent cover plate 3 covers the photoelectric induction components 201. The main body 2 is provided with an air injection pipe 205. One end of the air injection pipe 205 is arranged adjacent to the photoelectric induction components 201. The other end of the air injection pipe 205 is communicated with a pneumatic mechanism 4. The pneumatic mechanism 4 is triggered by the light-shielding plate 1 and is used to drive the air injection pipe 205 to jet air towards the photoelectric induction components 201.

[0024] The main body 2 of the flat floor inductor and the light shielding plate 1 are respectively installed on the car and the elevator shaft. The photoelectric induction component 201 is divided into a light emitting diode and a receiving diode, which are respectively installed at both ends of the main body 2 and are arranged opposite to each other. When the car ascends or descends, the receiving diode receives the light of the light emitting diode in real time. When the light shielding plate 1 moves to the inner side of the U-shaped opening of the main body 2, the intensity of the light received by the receiving diode decreases under the shielding of the light shielding plate 1. At this time, the detection circuit inside the main body 2 determines that the car has reached the flat floor position, and thus sends a signal to stop the elevator from ascending and descending, realizing the normal operation of the elevator; when the flat floor inductor operates, the photoelectric induction component 201 is covered by the transparent cover plate 3. One transparent cover plate 3 is provided at both ends of the main body 2, respectively used to cover the light emitting diode and the receiving diode, and the transparent cover plate 3 plays a role in protecting the photoelectric induction component, so as to reduce the failure rate of the flat floor inductor; the transparent cover plate 3 is inserted into the slot 206. When the transparent cover plate 3 is worn or too dirty to be cleaned, the inserted cover plate 3 is more convenient to take out and replace, improving the convenience of maintaining the flat floor inductor; the air pressure mechanism 4 can spray air onto the transparent cover plate 3 through the air spray pipe 205, reducing the accumulation of dust and impurities on the transparent cover plate 3, reducing the interference with the light propagation, thereby improving the detection accuracy of the flat floor inductor, reducing the probability of false triggering, and improving the safety and comfort of elevator riding; when the light shielding plate 1 passes through the inner side of the U-shaped opening of the main body 2, the light shielding plate 1 triggers the air pressure mechanism 4, so as to charge and discharge the air into the air spray pipe 205 through the air pressure mechanism 4. By the way of triggering the air pressure mechanism 4 with the light shielding plate 1, the air pressure mechanism 4 does not need to provide additional electric energy, thereby reducing the energy consumption of the flat floor inductor.

[0025] A further improvement is that, as Figure 4 shown, the photoelectric induction component 201 is located on one inner wall of the slot 206. A window 204 is opened on the inner wall of the slot 206 opposite to the photoelectric induction component 201. The orthographic projection of the photoelectric induction component 201 in the window 204 is within the range of the window 204. The opening of the window 204 is for the light propagation of the photoelectric induction component 201, and by opening the window 204, the transparent cover plate 3 can be integrally received inside the slot 206 while covering the photoelectric induction component 201, improving the firmness of the installation of the transparent cover plate 3.

[0026] A further improvement is that, as Figure 3As shown in the figure, an annular installation groove 301 is circumferentially arranged around the transparent cover plate 3. A plurality of installation grooves 301 are arranged at equal intervals along the length direction of the transparent cover plate 3. The distance between two adjacent installation grooves 301 is greater than the width of the photoelectric induction component 201. An annular sealing strip 302 is arranged in the installation groove 301, and the sealing strip 302 is hermetically connected to the inner wall of the slot 206. The installation groove 301 is used to accommodate the sealing strip 302 to improve the firmness of the installation of the sealing strip 302. The setting of the sealing strip 302 can, firstly, increase the friction between the transparent cover plate 3 and the slot 206, thereby improving the firmness of the installation of the transparent cover plate 3; secondly, it can play a sealing role to prevent dust from entering the inside of the slot 206 and contaminating the transparent cover plate 3 inside the slot 206. The arrangement of a plurality of slots 206 divides the transparent cover plate 3 into multiple segments. When one end is located at the position of the window 204, this segment of the transparent cover plate 3 plays a role in protecting the photoelectric induction component 201, while the other segments of the transparent cover plate 3 are accommodated inside the slot 206. When the transparent cover plate covering the photoelectric induction component 201 is contaminated, the transparent cover plate accommodated inside the slot 206 can be moved to the photoelectric induction component 201, and the contaminated part of the transparent cover plate 3 can be pulled out to the outside of the slot 206 and broken along the installation groove 301. By dividing one transparent cover plate 3 into multiple segments for use, the service time of the transparent cover plate can be extended, consumption can be reduced, and costs can be lowered.

[0027] A further improvement is that, as Figure 4 shown, an annular groove 202 for accommodating the dust-proof strip 203 is formed on the inner wall of the slot 206. The photoelectric induction component 201 is located inside the annular groove 202, and the dust-proof strip 203 is hermetically connected to the transparent cover plate 3. The annular groove 202 is used to accommodate the dust-proof strip 203 to improve the firmness of the installation of the dust-proof strip 203. Both the dust-proof strip 203 and the sealing strip 302 are rubber strips. The dust-proof strip 203 is used to seal between the transparent cover plates 3, thereby reducing the probability of dust entering between the transparent cover plate 3 and the photoelectric induction component 201 and improving the protection effect.

[0028] A further improvement is that, as Figure 2 and 3As shown in the figure, the air pressure mechanism 4 includes a cylinder 402 fixedly connected to the main body 2. The cylinder 402 is communicated with the air jet pipe 205. A piston 407 is slidably arranged inside the cylinder 402. A trigger member is fixedly connected to the piston 407. The side surface of the light shielding plate 1 adjacent to the trigger member is a thrust surface. The minimum distance between the thrust surface and the inner bottom wall of the main body 2 gradually increases from the middle of the thrust surface to both ends along the moving direction of the light shielding plate 1. The trigger member includes a trigger rod 405 perpendicular to the light shielding plate 1. The trigger rod 405 is fixedly connected to the piston 407 through a transmission rod 403. A spring 406 is arranged between the piston 407 and the end of the cylinder 402. During the operation of the elevator, the main body 2 and the light shielding plate 1 move relatively up and down. When the light shielding plate 1 passes through the inside of the U-shaped opening of the main body 2, the thrust surface of the light shielding plate 1 pushes the trigger rod 405 to move away from the light shielding plate 1, thereby pushing the piston 407 to move inside the cylinder 402. The air inside the cylinder 402 is sprayed onto the transparent cover plate 3 through the air jet pipe 205 by the piston 407, realizing the cleaning of the transparent cover plate 3, reducing the blockage of light propagation, and improving the triggering accuracy of the flat layer inductor. When the light shielding plate 1 moves away from the inside of the U-shaped opening of the main body 2, the piston 407 and the trigger rod 405 are reset by the elasticity of the spring 406.

[0029] A further improvement is that, as Figure 2 and 3 shown, a rotating sleeve 404 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the trigger rod 405. The rotating sleeve 404 can convert the sliding friction between the trigger rod 405 and the light shielding plate 1 into rolling friction, thereby reducing the wear between the trigger rod 405 and the rotating sleeve 404 and improving the stability and reliability of the flat layer inductor.

[0030] A further improvement is that, as Figure 2 and 3 shown, an end cover 401 is threadedly connected to one end of the cylinder 402 adjacent to the trigger rod 405. The end cover 401 has a through hole for passing through the transmission rod 403. The transmission rod 403 is coaxially arranged with the cylinder 402. The setting of the end cover 401 can facilitate the disassembly between the piston 407 and the cylinder 402 and improve the convenience of equipment maintenance and installation.
