Description

Technical Field

[0002] As a device that we often use in our daily lives, the safety of elevators is self-evident. They must be equipped with limit limit devices and buffers. In the "TSGT7001-2023 Elevator Supervision Inspection and Periodic Inspection Rules", A1.2.2.17 Buffers are checked to see if they meet the following requirements: (4) When the car is at the top terminal leveling position, the distance between the counterweight device collision plate and the top surface of its buffer does not exceed the maximum allowable value marked on the counterweight overtravel distance mark; A1.2.2.18 Limit position limit device, check whether the limit position limit device can function before the car (carrier) or counterweight contacts the buffer or before the plunger contacts the buffer stop device, and whether it can maintain its function while the buffer is compressed or the plunger is in the buffer stop area. In order to confirm whether the buffer and limit device are installed correctly, manufacturers generally need to measure the installation position of the limit device and the buffer distance during factory inspection. For example, the patent application number 202311254571.3 discloses an elevator limit switch inspection method and an audio-visual recording device, which uses a binocular camera to collect image information for distance measurement, which not only increases the cost, but is also easily affected by light, dust, etc. in the shaft, resulting in a decrease in accuracy.

[0014] The striking bow 9 includes a support plate 12 fixedly installed in the elevator shaft, and two groups of horizontal and parallel sleeve rods 13 are provided on one side of the support plate 12. The sleeve rod 13 is provided with a mounting rod 15 that can move relative to the sleeve rod 13, and the end of the mounting rod 15 is provided with a striking piece 16 corresponding to the limit switch 8. A vertical slide 17 is provided in the support plate 12 and located between the two groups of sleeve rods 13. The slide 17 is provided with two groups of sliders 18 symmetrically arranged with respect to the center plane of the slide 17, and the two groups of sliders 18 are provided with spring pieces 19 that abut against the inner side of the striking piece 16.

[0015] Principle of the present utility model: This application is used to detect the installation position of the car buffer 6, the counterweight buffer 7, the impact bow 9 and the limit switch 8. This application adopts a traction machine 10 with an encoder as a driving mechanism, such as the traction machine with an encoder disclosed in patents with application numbers 202110423816.5 and 200410066305.9, and realizes the measurement of the movement distance through the encoder. This application records the elevator reaching the top level as the initial position, so that the traction machine 10 drives the elevator car 4 and the elevator counterweight 5 to move. If the elevator car 4 moves upward first, during the upward movement of the elevator car 4, the limit switch 8 will first contact the impact bow 9, generating an upper limit signal, and the car top control board 20 transmits the signal to the control main board through the CAN transmission method, that is, the safety bus method. The control main board records the encoder signal at this time. The car top control board is the GCECCBS board, and the control main board is the GCECPU. The elevator car 4 will continue to move upward under the action of the traction machine 10 until the elevator counterweight 5 triggers the counterweight buffer 7. The control main board records the encoder signal at this time. The control main board is set in the elevator control cabinet to collect signals from the encoder, car buffer 6, counterweight buffer 7 and car top control board 20. If the encoder of the present application is a pulse encoder, the diameter D of the traction wheel is calculated, then the circumference L of the traction wheel 1 is πD, and the encoder pulse P when the traction wheel 1 rotates one circle, then the length of each pulse is πD / P, and the movement distance of the wire rope is calculated by the number of pulses of the encoder signal and the length of each pulse. For example, when the limit switch 8 hits the collision bow 9 to generate an upper limit signal, the signal is collected by the car top control board and transmitted to the control main board. The encoder pulse signal recorded by the control main board is compared with the encoder pulse signal when the elevator reaches the top floor to calculate the current movement distance, that is, the upper limit distance, recorded as S1; the motor car continues to move upward until the elevator counterweight 5 triggers the counterweight buffer 7, and the control board records the encoder signal at this time, and compares it with the encoder pulse signal when the elevator reaches the top floor to calculate the current movement distance, that is, the counterweight buffer switch distance, recorded as S2. Similarly, when the elevator car reaches the bottom leveling position, it is the initial position. The elevator car 4 is driven downward by the traction machine 10. When the limit switch on the elevator car 4 triggers the collision bow 9, the signal is collected through the car top control board and transmitted to the control main board. The encoder pulse signal at this time is recorded and compared with the pulse signal when the elevator car reaches the bottom leveling position to calculate the current movement distance, that is, the lower limit distance, recorded as S3; the elevator car continues to move downward until the elevator car 4 triggers the car buffer 6. The control board records the encoder signal at this time and compares it with the encoder pulse signal when the elevator reaches the bottom leveling position to calculate the current movement distance, that is, the car buffer switch distance, recorded as S4. In this way, the distance moved by the limit switch, car buffer and counterweight buffer triggered during the movement of the elevator car and the elevator counterweight can be realized without the need for external distance measuring equipment, which not only saves costs but also has accurate distance measurement.During the distance detection process, the limit switch 8 will collide with the collision bow 9, causing the collision bow 9 to be damaged. The present application improves the collision bow to reduce the impact on the collision bow. During the operation of the elevator car, the limit switch will collide with the collision plate, causing an impact on the collision plate. At this time, the collision plate will squeeze the spring 19 provided on one side of the collision plate 16, and the spring 19 will be deformed, buffering the collision plate. In order to ensure that the limit switch can be accurately triggered, the limit switch is moved outward so that the spring 19 is deformed and causes the pressing slider 18 to move to the two ends of the slide groove 17, that is, when the spring is at the maximum change, the limit switch is just in the triggered state. This ensures that when the limit switch hits the collision bow, the limit switch can operate normally. The collision bow of the present application solves the problem that the elevator collision bow is easily damaged, which causes the elevator to easily malfunction, while ensuring that the limit switch can operate normally, thereby increasing the service life of the elevator.
