Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of elevator technology, specifically an elevator car balancing counterweight device. Background Technology

[0002] The elevator car counterweight is a crucial component of the elevator system, primarily used to improve elevator operating efficiency and safety. The counterweight is typically equal to or slightly lighter than the car's weight, balancing the car's weight during elevator operation and reducing the motor's load. This means that during ascent or descent, the counterweight helps counteract the car's gravity, thereby reducing energy consumption. However, the connection and fixing between elevator counterweight modules usually uses clamps or brackets. Using clamps or brackets to connect the counterweights requires complete disassembly for maintenance, replacement, or addition / removal of the counterweights. This complete disassembly increases the risk and inconvenience of operation. Therefore, improvements are needed to address these issues. Utility Model Content

[0018] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0019] Depend on Figures 1 to 4 The present invention includes a rectangular counterweight frame 1 and stacked counterweight blocks 4. A support column 2 is rotatably mounted on the bottom inner side of the rectangular counterweight frame 1. Two threaded columns 3 are symmetrically fixedly mounted on the surface of the support column 2. The stacked counterweight blocks 4 are sleeved between the two threaded columns 3. The rotatable support column 2 can drive the two threaded columns 3 and the stacked counterweight blocks 4 to rotate and adjust. The surface of the support column 2 has a horizontal surface so that the counterweight blocks 4 can be stacked effectively and stably. The surface of the counterweight blocks 4 has two symmetrical through holes A8. The inside of each through hole A8 is fitted with a rubber sleeve 9 to protect the threaded columns 3 from wear, so that the counterweight blocks 4 can be installed effectively.

[0020] A detachable pressure plate 5 is installed between the upper parts of the two threaded columns 3. The pressure plate 5 is fixed on the top of the stacked counterweights 4. An adjustable retraction structure 6 is installed in the middle of the top of the inner side of the rectangular counterweight frame 1. A pull cable 7 is connected between the surface of the retraction structure 6 and the middle of the top of the pressure plate 5. Through the setting of the retraction structure 6 and the pull cable 7, the support column 2 can be rotated and adjusted.

[0021] This elevator car counterweight device features a rotatable and adjustable structure, allowing for the rotation and movement of the counterweight blocks and convenient disassembly and replacement. This improves the convenience and safety of maintenance and replacement. Furthermore, the device boasts a simple design, easy and convenient operation, and safe and reliable adjustment, meeting the performance requirements for elevator car counterweight use.

[0022] Two through holes B10 are symmetrically opened on the surface of the pressure plate 5. Two bearings 11 are installed on the top of the pressure plate 5. The two bearings 11 are aligned with the two through holes B10 respectively. The interior of each of the two bearings 11 is equipped with an internal threaded tube 12. Two threaded posts 3 are threadedly connected to the two internal threaded tubes 12 respectively, so that the pressure plate 5 can be effectively installed between the two threaded posts 3. Adjusting wheels 13 are fixedly installed on the upper part of the surface of each of the two internal threaded tubes 12. Sprockets 14 are fixedly installed on the middle part of the surface of each of the two internal threaded tubes 12. A chain 15 is installed between the two sprockets 14, so that the pressure plate 5 can be effectively adjusted and disassembled.

[0023] As shown in the attached figure, when it is necessary to disassemble the pressure plate 5, one of the internal threaded tubes 12 is rotated by rotating any one of the adjusting wheels 13. The rotation of one internal threaded tube 12 will drive the other internal threaded tube 12 to rotate synchronously through the two sprockets 14 and the chain 15. The rotation of the two internal threaded tubes 12 will move upward on the surface of the two threaded posts 3, and finally the two internal threaded tubes 12 will separate from the two threaded posts 3, so that the pressure plate 5 can be disassembled.

[0024] The retractable structure 6 includes a convex inner groove 16 located in the middle of the top of the inner side of the rectangular counterweight frame 1. Two forward and reverse rotating stepper motors 17 are symmetrically installed on both sides of the lower part of the convex inner groove 16. A winding wheel 18 is fixedly connected between the output ends of the two forward and reverse rotating stepper motors 17. The end of the cable 7 away from the pressure plate 5 is fixed and wound around the surface of the winding wheel 18, thereby effectively adjusting the support column 2 and disassembling and assembling the counterweight block 4.

[0025] As shown in the attached diagram, when it is necessary to add or remove the counterweight 4, firstly, start the two forward and reverse rotating stepper motors 17 to drive the winding wheel 18 to rotate. The rotation of the winding wheel 18 will unwind the cable 7, causing the unwound cable 7 to loosen. Then, the stacked counterweight 4 will tilt through the two threaded posts 3, causing the support column 2 to rotate. Finally, as the cable 7 continues to unwind, the support column 2 will rotate 90 degrees. Then, the pressure plate 5 will be removed from the two threaded posts 3 to add or remove the counterweight 4. After the operation is completed, the pressure plate 5 will be installed on the two threaded posts 3 again. Then, the winding wheel 18 will rewind the cable 7 to pull the pressure plate 5, causing the support column 2 to reverse 90 degrees, so that the stacked counterweight 4 will be adjusted to the inside of the rectangular counterweight frame 1 again.

[0026] A limiting baffle 19 is fixedly installed on the surface of the support column 2. A limiting groove 20 is provided at one end of the bottom inner side of the rectangular counterweight frame 1 to block the limiting baffle 19, thereby effectively limiting the rotation of the support column 2. This allows the support column 2 to drive the counterweight block 4, which rotates 90 degrees, to be suspended in the air through the two threaded columns 3, making it convenient to disassemble and assemble the counterweight block 4.

[0027] When the support column 2 drives the counterweight 4 to rotate 90 degrees through the two threaded columns 3, the limiting baffle 19 will rotate into the limiting groove 20 to limit the support column 2. At this time, the counterweight 4, which has rotated 90 degrees, is suspended in the air, making it convenient to disassemble and assemble it.

[0028] The above embodiments are only for illustrating the technical concept and features of this utility model. Their purpose is to enable those skilled in the art to understand the content of this utility model and implement it accordingly. They should not be used to limit the protection scope of this utility model. All equivalent changes or modifications made in accordance with the spirit and essence of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
