Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of elevator safety, in particular to a foreign body clamping safety device for elevator doors. Background Art

[0002] Existing elevator safety devices include mechanical and electrical protection devices, which fall into the following categories: 1. Overspeed governor safety clamp. When the elevator stalls, the overspeed governor ratchet brakes, and the overspeed governor wire rope pulls up the safety clamp, locking the guide rails and braking the elevator. 2. Buffer. This buffer acts as a buffer when the elevator or counterweight falls. Electrical protection devices include UCMP, light curtain, door lock circuit, safety circuit, speed feedback, timeout protection, overload protection, relay operation feedback, phase loss and phase sequence protection, overcurrent and short-circuit protection, etc. The light curtain works as follows: One side of the light curtain is equipped with multiple infrared transmitters at equal intervals, and the other side has the same number of infrared receivers arranged in the same direction. Each infrared transmitter corresponds to a corresponding infrared receiver, and the two are installed in a straight line. When there are no obstacles between the infrared transmitters and the infrared receivers in the same straight line, the modulated signal (light signal) emitted by the infrared transmitters can reach the infrared receivers smoothly. By analyzing the internal circuit status, the presence of an object can be detected. If there is a foreign object in the middle of the car door, the car door cannot close. However, current safety devices have the following deficiencies:

[0003] Existing light curtains use multiple infrared emitting tubes (24 or 36 channels) for transmission, but they cannot completely cover the car doors. When small objects (such as ropes or slender foreign objects) are blocked between the car doors, the infrared rays cannot sense them. In this case, the car doors and floors can close normally, the safety circuit displays normal, and the elevator can run up and down normally, preventing foreign objects from getting stuck.

[0004] In existing elevator car door structures, the lower end of the light curtain is flush with the door, which is restrained by a slider within the floor sill groove, leaving a gap between the lower end of the door and the floor sill. This creates a safety blind spot in this area. If a foreign object, such as a rope or rod, is caught between the floor and the door, the light curtain cannot detect it. In this case, the safety circuit is functioning normally, and the elevator operates normally, causing the foreign object to become trapped. Utility Model Content

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to provide an elevator door foreign body clamping safety device in view of the above-mentioned deficiencies in the prior art.

[0006] In order to solve the above technical problems, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is:

[0007] A safety device for foreign objects entrapped in elevator doors includes a sill device and a movable sensing mechanism; the sill device is arranged at the bottom of the elevator door, and a mounting slot is provided on the sill device; the movable sensing mechanism includes a sensing frame, a rotating plate or a telescopic plate, a connecting shaft, and a sensing switch; the sensing frame is connected to the mounting slot, and corresponding connecting holes are provided on the rotating plate or the telescopic plate and the sensing frame, and the rotating plate or the telescopic plate is rotatably connected to the top of the sensing frame via a connecting shaft passing through the connecting hole, and the sensing switch is provided on the sensing frame below the rotating plate or the telescopic plate. The utility model designs a safety device for foreign objects entrapped in elevator doors, including a sill device and a movable sensing mechanism. When a foreign object is caught in the door gap or the gap at the bottom of the door, and the car is pulled upward, the deflection of the rotating plate or the telescopic plate triggers the sensing switch to output a signal, thereby triggering the safety circuit and stopping the elevator. Manual reset or manual operation by rescue personnel is required to restart the elevator.

[0008] As a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, a reset device is further included, wherein the reset device is connected to the rotating plate or the telescopic plate, and the reset device facilitates the reset of the rotating plate or the telescopic plate.

[0009] As a further preference of the present invention, the reset device is a reset spring, one end of the reset spring is connected to the bottom of the rotating plate or the telescopic plate, and the other end is connected to the sensing frame.

[0010] As a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, it further includes a car, a car door and a lintel device; a slider is provided at the bottom of the car door, and a slide groove is provided at the bottom of the sill device, the slider is movably arranged in the slide groove, the car is arranged on the inner side of the car door, and the lintel device is arranged above the car.

[0011] As a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, a mounting slot is provided on the lintel device, and a motion sensing mechanism is provided on the upper side of the lintel device above the car. When the elevator door is opened normally, the rope, etc. is not sensed by the light curtain or safety touch panel, or when the elevator is below the landing door, the car door and the floor door are closed normally, and the elevator is descending, when the rope or rod-shaped object is stressed at both ends or the car is misaligned with the landing door frame, the turning plate or telescopic plate deflects or contracts under the stress, triggering the induction switch, triggering the safety circuit, and stopping the elevator. Restarting the elevator requires manual reset or manual operation by rescue personnel.

[0012] As a further preference of the present invention, it also includes a light curtain, which is arranged on the corresponding two sides of the car door. The light curtain includes a plurality of corresponding infrared emitting tubes and infrared receiving tubes; the infrared emitting tubes and infrared receiving tubes are respectively arranged on the corresponding two sides of the two car doors.

[0013] As a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, the induction switch is an action switch or a photoelectric induction switch.

[0014] The utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] 1. This utility model designs an elevator door foreign object entrapment safety device, including a sill device and a movable sensing mechanism. When a foreign object is trapped in the door gap or the gap at the bottom of the door, and the elevator car is pulled upward, the deflection of the rotating plate or telescopic plate triggers the output signal of the sensing switch, triggering the safety circuit, stopping the elevator. Restarting the elevator requires manual reset or manual operation by rescue personnel, thus compensating for the shortcomings of safety devices and reducing safety blind spots. It prevents accidents caused by elevator door entrapment during daily use.

[0016] 2. The lintel device is equipped with a motion sensing mechanism. When the elevator door is open normally, the rope is not sensed by the light curtain or safety touch panel, or the elevator is below the landing door, the car door and the landing door are closed normally, and the elevator is descending, if the rope or rod-like object is stressed at both ends or the car is misaligned with the landing door frame, the turning plate or telescopic plate will deflect or retract under the force, triggering the sensor switch, triggering the safety circuit, and stopping the elevator. Restarting the elevator requires manual reset or manual operation by rescue personnel. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
