[0019] Example 1, as shown in the attached Figure 1-3 As shown, a compact home elevator includes a car assembly 1 having a car frame 10 and a car, a car guide rail system, a counterweight assembly 2, a counterweight guide rail system and a traction system.

[0020] The counterweight rail system includes first and second counterweight rails 3a, 3b, fixed to the right sidewall of the hoistway, front and rear. The counterweight assembly 2 is slidably positioned between these two rails. A vertically extending depression 21 is located in the middle of the left side of the counterweight assembly 2. A steel isolation plate with a corresponding shape to the left side of the counterweight assembly 2 is located between the side edges of the first and second counterweight rails 3a, 3b.

[0021] The car guide rail system includes a first car guide rail 4a fixed to the upper center of the left side wall of the hoistway, and a second car guide rail 4b fixed inside the hoistway and located on the side of the isolation steel plate. The second car guide rail 4b is partially located in the recess 21, shortening the left and right hoistway space. In this embodiment, the difference between the net width of the hoistway and the net width of the car assembly 1 is only 250 mm, greatly improving the utilization of the hoistway space.

[0022] Furthermore, the detailed structure of the car assembly 1: the car frame 10 includes an upper beam frame, a car bottom assembly, and two longitudinal columns 11 connected between the upper beam frame and the car bottom assembly. The two longitudinal columns 11 are respectively located in the middle of the front and rear directions, and guide shoes are respectively installed on the sides, and the two longitudinal columns 11 are respectively slidably matched with the corresponding first car guide rails 4a and the first car guide rails 4a.

[0023] As attached Figure 1 , Attachment Figure 2As shown, each longitudinal column 11 is symmetrically equipped with lateral assembly brackets 12 on the front and rear sides, and a lateral extrusion arm 13 is pivotally connected to the outer side of the lateral assembly bracket 12, and a torsion spring is provided between the lateral extrusion arm 13 and the lateral assembly bracket 12 to cause the lateral extrusion arm 13 to pop outward. A pressure sensor is provided between each lateral extrusion arm 13 and the corresponding lateral assembly bracket 12, and the pressure sensor is connected to the control box in the car. An outer guide wheel 14 is rollingly installed on the lateral extrusion arm 13. The outer guide wheels on the front and rear sides of the longitudinal column 11 cooperate with the corresponding car guide rails, thereby further improving the ride stability and comfort of the car assembly. In addition, if the guide shoe on the longitudinal column 11 bursts, the offset between the longitudinal column 11 and the corresponding car guide rail and the force on the corresponding outer guide wheel 14 are sensed by the pressure sensor, facilitating timely maintenance.

[0024] The traction system includes a traction rope and a traction machine fixed on the top of the shaft. After one end of the traction rope is fixed to the counterweight rope head frame at the top of the shaft, the other end is passed downward around the re-entry rope pulley, upward around the traction machine traction wheel 5, downward around the first car return rope pulley and the second car return rope pulley, and the other end is fixed on the car rope head frame at the top of the shaft. The axial center lines of the re-entry rope pulley, traction wheel 5, first car return rope pulley and second car return rope pulley are parallel, and the axial center lines extend along the front and rear horizontal directions.

[0025] A car door is provided on the front side of the car.

[0026] Example 2, as shown in the attached Figure 4 As shown, the difference between the second embodiment and the first embodiment lies in the different rope winding methods of the traction system.

[0027] The traction system includes a traction rope and a traction sheave 5 fixed to the top of the shaft. After one end of the traction rope is fixed to the counterweight assembly 2, the other end passes over the traction sheave 5 in sequence, passes over the first top guide sheave downward, passes over the second top guide sheave upward, and then passes over the first car top wheel and the second car top wheel fixed at the top center of the car frame 10 downward first and then upward, and then the other end is fixed to the top of the car frame 10. The axial center lines of the traction sheave 5, the first top guide sheave, the second top guide sheave, and the first car top wheel are parallel, and the axial center lines extend along the front-to-back horizontal direction.
