Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of elevators, in particular to a car door driving device and an elevator thereof. Background Art
[0002] Elevators are widely used in today's society. The elevator door operator and its car door system are crucial components of modern elevator technology, directly impacting elevator safety, reliability, and passenger experience. The primary function of the entire system is to control the opening and closing of the elevator car door, ensuring safe entry and exit for passengers.
[0003] Figure 1 This is a typical diagram of an elevator door machine. Figure 1 As shown, it includes a motor 10, a door operator control system 20, and a transmission system consisting of a synchronous belt 31, a drive pulley 32, a connector 33, a pulley 34, and a guide rail 35. The door operator control system 20 drives and controls the rotation of the motor 10. The motor 10 pulls the drive pulley 32 through the synchronous belt 31 to rotate, thereby further driving the left and right car doors 41 and 42 to open or close, performing the door opening and closing actions.
[0004] but, Figure 1 The illustrated elevator door operator drive system, in which a center-split door driver drives a single motor, has numerous drawbacks. Firstly, the large space required for this structure makes it difficult to meet the demand for wider doors in smaller spaces for convenient access in home elevators. Furthermore, the typical door operator drive system uses a drive motor to pull a belt that drives a driven pulley, resulting in significant mechanical wear. The center-split door also makes a loud opening and closing noise, which doesn't meet the low-noise requirements of home elevators. Furthermore, the motor requires 220V AC power, posing a safety hazard when used in home elevators.
[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need to provide a suitable car door drive device to meet the requirements of home elevators for miniaturization, safety and low noise. Summary of the Invention

[0022] Figure 1 Schematic diagram of the car door drive device provided by the embodiment of the present utility model. Figure 1 As shown, the device for driving the left and right car doors of an elevator to open and close includes a first motor 101 , a second motor 102 and a door machine control system 201 .
[0023] The first motor 101 forms a physical first power transmission path with the left car door 301 through the first transmission assembly 103, thereby driving the left car door 301 to move in a straight line. The second motor 102 forms a physical second power transmission path with the right car door 302 through the second transmission assembly 104, thereby driving the right car door 302 to move in a straight line.
[0024] Specifically, the first motor 101 and the second motor 102 may be brushless DC motors or permanent magnet DC motors powered by DC voltage, thereby providing smaller size and better safety.
[0025] The door machine control system 201 is the main system for realizing motor control. It can select and use any suitable type of electronic computing system that can meet and satisfy the synchronous control of two motors according to the actual needs, and is not specifically limited here.
[0026] In order to realize the control of the first motor 101 and the second motor 102, the door machine control system 201 can establish electrical connections with the first motor 101 and the second motor 102 respectively, thereby controlling the operation of the motors to perform the opening and closing actions of the elevator car door.
[0027] Specifically, Figure 3 The functional block diagram of the door machine control system 201 is shown as an example. The door machine control system 201 may be provided with corresponding electronic devices to perform the required functions. Figure 3 As shown, the door machine control system 201 has a door lock interface 202, an input / output interface 203, a power supply interface 204, a first encoder connection line interface 205, a second encoder connection line interface 206, a first power line interface 207, a second power line interface 208 and an operator interface 209.
[0028] The first motor 101 is equipped with a first encoder. This first encoder is used to detect the rotation angle of the first motor. It is connected to the first encoder connection line interface 205 of the door operator control system via a first encoder connection line. This encoder provides encoder sampling information representing the motor's rotation angle to the door operator control system 201, allowing it to obtain the operating status of the first motor. The first power line interface 207 of the door operator control system 201 is also connected to the first motor 101 via a first power line, providing the required DC voltage to drive the first motor.
[0029] Similarly, the second motor 102 is equipped with a second encoder. This second encoder is used to detect the rotation angle of the second motor and is connected to the second encoder connection line interface 206 of the door operator control system via a second encoder connection line, allowing the door operator control system 201 to obtain the operating status of the second motor. The second power line interface 208 of the door operator control system 201 is also connected to the second motor 102 via a second power line, providing the required DC voltage to drive the second motor.
[0030] In actual use, when the door needs to be closed, the door control system 201 can control the first motor 101 and the second motor 102 to respectively drive the left and right car doors 301 and 302 toward each other. The door control system 201 can determine the travel distance of the car doors based on the data collected by the first and second encoders. When the door needs to be opened, the door control system 201 can control the first motor 101 and the second motor 102 to respectively drive the left and right car doors 301 and 302 away from each other.
[0031] In some embodiments, the first motor 101 may be a coupling motor that is physically connected to the first transmission assembly via a first coupling. Correspondingly, the second motor 102 may also be a coupling motor that is physically connected to the second transmission assembly via a corresponding second coupling.
[0032] Specifically, the first transmission assembly 103 and the second transmission assembly 104 are transmission assemblies capable of converting rotational motion into linear motion. Both can employ the same transmission structure design and can utilize any suitable type of transmission mechanism, including but not limited to screw drive and pulley drive, as required by the actual situation.
[0033] Thus, the rotating shaft of the first motor 101 can be connected to the first transmission assembly 103, applying a rotational torque. Under the conversion action of the first transmission assembly 103, this torque is converted into power to drive the left car door 301 in linear motion. The rotating shaft of the second motor 102 can be connected to the second transmission assembly 104, applying a rotational torque. Under the conversion action of the second transmission assembly 104, this torque is converted into power to drive the right car door 302 in linear motion.
[0034] Preferably, in addition to the independently operated transmission assembly, the car door driving device may further include: a transmission belt 401 sleeved on the first coupling and the second coupling. The transmission belt 401 establishes a power transmission path between the first coupling and the second coupling.
[0035] Therefore, the first motor and the second motor can provide a certain degree of redundant backup function. When one of the motors is damaged or fails, the power output of the other motor can be used to complete the door opening or closing action.
[0036] Of course, in this fault state, the motor cannot provide sufficient power and can only barely maintain operation, which will have a great impact on the service life of the motor and the mechanical transmission structure. Therefore, the car door drive device can also include an additional buzzer to serve as a reminder.
[0037] Among them, when the above-mentioned first motor or second motor fails, the buzzer can be started by the door machine control system to emit a preset buzzer prompt sound to remind maintenance personnel that there is a fault in the current car door drive device.
[0038] Based on the above-described door drive device, an embodiment of the present invention further provides a home elevator. The elevator comprises: openable and closable left and right doors, and the above-described door drive device. The door drive device drives the left and right doors to open and close the doors.
[0039] In summary, this car door drive system utilizes a dual-axis drive system for swing doors, using two motors to independently drive the car door. Compared to traditional single-motor drive systems, this system reduces motor power, simplifies the transmission mechanism, and requires less installation space. Furthermore, because the two motors operate synchronously, less power is required, significantly reducing wear on the motors caused by the car door's movement.
[0040] Furthermore, the two motors are redundant to a certain extent. When the drive or motor on one side is damaged, the door is opened and closed by the other side, and a buzzer is emitted at the same time to remind maintenance personnel that there is a fault in the door machine.
[0041] In addition, due to the use of a motor-driven swing door, the load on a single car door is smaller, the motor noise is correspondingly reduced, and a DC motor powered by low-voltage DC can be used, which improves overall safety and reliability.
[0042] The above content is a further detailed description of the present invention in conjunction with specific / preferred embodiments, and the specific implementation of the present invention cannot be limited to these descriptions. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that various modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the present invention, and all of these modifications and improvements fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
