[0029] The technical solution of the present utility model is further described in detail below through specific implementation methods.

[0030] like Figure 1-Figure 5 As shown, a blocking device under a cargo elevator car includes a bracket 1, a support body 2 and a limiting assembly 3.

[0031] The bracket 1 includes a bracket body and a vertical sleeve. The bracket body is used to be connected and fixed to the main structure of the elevator shaft; the vertical sleeve is fixed to the bracket body and serves as the basic structure for the horizontal rotation of the support body;

[0032] Specifically, in this embodiment, the bracket body includes at least one set of fixing components, which include a horizontal rectangular steel tube 11, a connecting plate 12, and a vertical rectangular steel tube 13. The outer end of the horizontal rectangular steel tube 11 is fixed to the connecting plate 12 by bolts or welding, the inner end of the horizontal rectangular steel tube 11 is fixed to the vertical rectangular steel tube 13 by welding, and the vertical sleeve 14 is fixed to the vertical rectangular steel tube 13. Each set of fixing components is distributed in the vertical direction. In this embodiment, there are two sets, which are fixed to the main rail 6 of the elevator shaft through the connecting plate 12. The height from the pit floor can be easily adjusted to ensure that when the car 7 stops on the blocking device, there is a free vertical safety distance of 1.80 meters between the lowest component of the car and the pit floor.

[0033] The support body 2 includes a horizontally arranged support portion and a vertically arranged rotating shaft portion. The rotating shaft portion cooperates with the vertical sleeve to realize horizontal rotation and vertical sliding. The support portion is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft portion to serve as a support structure for limiting the downward movement of the elevator. In a first state, the support portion rotates to the inside of the running track of the elevator shaft. In a second state, the support portion rotates to the outside of the running track of the elevator shaft.

[0034] Specifically, in this embodiment, the support body 2 has a triangular structure as a whole, the rotating shaft portion is a rotating shaft guide rod 21 that cooperates with the vertical sleeve, and the supporting portion is a connecting shaft 22. One end of the connecting shaft 22 is threadedly connected to the top end of the rotating shaft guide rod 21, and the other end of the connecting shaft 22 and the bottom end of the rotating shaft guide rod 21 are respectively hinged to the two ends of the support shaft 23. The support shaft 23 serves as the hypotenuse of the triangular structure, and the rotating shaft guide rod 21 and the connecting shaft 22 serve as the right-angled sides of the triangular structure.

[0035] A support plate 24 is fixedly mounted on the top end of the connecting shaft 22 for supporting the elevator car.

[0036] The limiting assembly 3 includes a stop pin 31 arranged on the support body and a first limit portion and a second limit portion both arranged on the bracket. Specifically, a fixing plate 25 is fixedly installed on the inner bottom end of the connecting shaft 22, and the stop pin 31 is installed on the fixing plate 25.

[0037] The stop pin 31 cooperates with the first limiting portion to limit the support body from being locked in the first state, and the stop pin 31 cooperates with the second limiting portion to limit the support body from being locked in the second state.

[0038] Specifically, in this embodiment, the angle between the projections of the first limiting portion and the second limiting portion on the horizontal plane is 90°, the first limiting portion includes a first limiting plate 32 installed on the inner side of the vertical rectangular steel pipe, and a through-hole is set on the first limiting plate corresponding to the stop pin, and the second limiting portion includes a second limiting plate 33 installed on the other side of the vertical rectangular steel pipe, and a through-hole is set on the second limiting plate corresponding to the stop pin.

[0039] In a preferred embodiment, a micro switch 4 is further included. The micro switch 4 is installed on a support body, specifically on a fixed plate 25. The micro switch 4 is linked to the electrical system of the elevator. In a first state, the contact of the micro switch 4 cooperates with the first limit portion to close / open, and in a second state, the contact of the micro switch cooperates with the second limit portion to open / close.

[0040] To cooperate with the working mode of the micro switch 4, the installation height of the first limit plate 32 is higher than the installation height of the second limit plate 33, and the upper edge of the vertical sleeve 14 serves as an auxiliary support part. In the first state, the stop pin 31 is inserted into the through hole of the first limit plate 32, and the connecting shaft 22 does not contact the upper edge of the vertical sleeve 14. In the second state, the stop pin 31 is inserted into the through hole of the second limit plate 33, and the connecting shaft 22 contacts the upper edge of the vertical sleeve 14, so that in the first state, the contacts of the micro switch are closed in contact with the first limit plate, and in the second state, the contacts of the micro switch are not in contact with the second limit plate.

[0041] Working principle description:

[0042] Generally, the blocking device 5 under the goods elevator car is in the second state, that is, the entire support body 2 is in the area outside the running track in the elevator shaft, and will not rotate horizontally under the restriction of the stop pin 31, preventing accidental rotation into the track and causing danger.

[0043] When protective support is needed, the staff lifts the entire support body 2 and moves the entire support body 2 upward. The stop pin 31 is pulled out from the through hole of the second limit plate 33, and then rotated horizontally 90° to the area within the running track, and then the stop pin 31 is inserted into the through hole of the first limit plate 32 for limiting. At this time, the entire support body 2 is located inside the running track, and the uppermost fixed plate 25 is used to support the elevator car.

[0044] Among them, the micro switch 4 is linked to the electrical system of the elevator. In the first state, that is, the entire blocking device is inside the elevator's running track and is in a supporting state, the safety circuit of the electrical system is disconnected and is in a maintenance state to prevent the elevator from accidentally running and causing danger. At the same time, the physical structure of the blocking structure itself plays a supporting and blocking role; in the second state, that is, the entire blocking device is outside the elevator's running track and is in a non-supporting state, the safety circuit of the electrical system is connected and is in a non-maintenance state, and the elevator can be powered and operated normally.

[0045] This double protection design can greatly improve the safety during the maintenance process.

[0046] Finally, it should be noted that: The above describes in detail the preferred embodiments of this patent, but this patent is not limited to the above embodiments. Various changes can be made within the scope of knowledge possessed by ordinary technicians in this field without departing from the purpose of this patent.
