DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0022] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings of the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of the present application.
[0023] As Figures 1 to 4As shown, the elevator car falling protection device comprises an elevator shaft 1, a car body 2, a stall sensor 3 and a brake assembly 4. The stall sensor 3 is fixedly arranged in the car body 2 and monitors the acceleration change of the car in real time. The brake assembly 4 comprises a first hinged frame 5, a second hinged frame 6, a first brake plate 7, a second brake plate 8, a first telescopic rod 9 and a second telescopic rod 10. The first hinged frame 5 and the first telescopic rod 9 are fixedly connected with the elevator shaft 1. The second hinged frame 6 and the second telescopic rod 10 are fixedly connected with the car body 2. The top of the first brake plate 7 is rotationally and matchingly connected with the first hinged frame 5. The telescopic end of the first telescopic rod 9 is matchingly connected with the bottom of the first brake plate 7. The bottom of the second brake plate 8 is rotationally and matchingly connected with the second hinged frame 6. The telescopic end of the second telescopic rod 10 is matchingly connected with the top of the second brake plate 8. The first telescopic rod 9 and the second telescopic rod 10 are electric telescopic rods and are electrically connected with the stall sensor 3.
[0024] During the normal operation of the elevator car, the stall sensor 3 continuously monitors the acceleration change of the car to ensure the smooth operation of the elevator. The first brake plate 7 and the second brake plate 8 are kept vertical and parallel to each other and do not interfere with the normal lifting of the car in the elevator shaft 1.
[0025] Once the elevator car abnormally falls due to any reason, the stall sensor 3 can immediately detect that the running speed of the car exceeds the preset safety threshold. The first telescopic rod 9 and the second telescopic rod 10 quickly extend. The first telescopic rod 9 pushes the bottom of the first brake plate 7 to move outward, and the first hinged frame 5 is used as a rotating fulcrum to make the first brake plate 7 change to an inclined state. At the same time, the second telescopic rod 10 pushes the top of the second brake plate 8 to move outward, and the second hinged frame 6 is used as a rotating fulcrum to make the second brake plate 8 also change to an inclined state.
[0026] With the continuous falling of the elevator car, the inclined first brake plate 7 and the second brake plate 8 finally contact each other to form a stable braking structure. This structure uses the principle of friction to exert sufficient braking force on the elevator car to quickly slow down and eventually stop the car from falling, thereby effectively protecting the safety of the passengers in the car.
[0027] Through the real-time monitoring of the stall sensor 3 and the rapid action of the brake assembly 4, the device can provide timely braking protection at the moment when the elevator car abnormally falls, effectively shorten the braking response time and improve the braking efficiency. When the elevator car abnormally falls due to any reason, the inclined first brake plate 7 and the second brake plate 8 contact each other to form a stable braking structure. Sufficient braking force is exerted on the elevator car to achieve rapid braking of the elevator car and avoid danger to the personnel in the elevator car.
[0028] Reference Figure 2As shown, in some specific embodiments, the brake assembly 4 further comprises a first movable sliding seat 11, one end of which is in sliding fit connection with the bottom of the first brake plate 7, and the other end of which is hingedly connected with the telescopic end of the first telescopic rod 9. The bottom of the first brake plate 7 is provided with a first sliding groove 13, and the first movable sliding seat 11 is slidingly arranged in the first sliding groove 13. In the case of abnormal falling of the elevator car, after the stall sensor 3 detects the abnormality, the first telescopic rod 9 rapidly extends, pushes the first movable sliding seat 11 to slide along the first sliding groove 13, and drives the first brake plate 7 to tilt. The side of the first sliding groove 13 is provided with a first clamping groove 15, and the side of the first movable sliding seat 11 is fixedly provided with a first clamping block 16 in sliding fit connection with the first clamping groove 15. Through the sliding fit of the first clamping groove 15 and the first clamping block 16, the stability of the sliding of the first movable sliding seat 11 in the first sliding groove 13 can be enhanced, and the shaking of the first brake plate 7 during braking due to uneven force or external interference can be prevented.
[0029] Reference Figure 3 As shown, in some specific embodiments, the brake assembly 4 further comprises a second movable sliding seat 12, one end of which is in sliding fit connection with the top of the second brake plate 8, and the other end of which is hingedly connected with the telescopic end of the second telescopic rod 10. The top of the second brake plate 8 is provided with a second sliding groove 14, and the second movable sliding seat 12 is slidingly arranged in the second sliding groove 14. In the case of abnormal falling of the elevator car, after the stall sensor 3 detects the abnormality, the second telescopic rod 10 rapidly extends, pushes the second movable sliding seat 12 to slide along the second sliding groove 14, and drives the second brake plate 8 to tilt. The side of the second sliding groove 14 is provided with a second clamping groove, and the side of the second movable sliding seat 12 is fixedly provided with a second clamping block in sliding fit connection with the second clamping groove. Through the sliding fit of the second clamping groove and the second clamping block, the stability of the sliding of the second movable sliding seat 12 in the second sliding groove 14 can be enhanced, and the shaking of the second brake plate 8 during braking due to uneven force or external interference can be prevented.
[0030] Reference Figure 1 As shown, in some specific embodiments, the brake assembly 4 is provided in four groups and is arranged in matrix symmetry on both sides of the car body 2. Since the brake assembly 4 is arranged in matrix symmetry, the four groups of brake plates can maintain a balanced force state during tilting, avoiding brake failure or instability due to uneven force. At the same time, such symmetrical arrangement also helps to improve the uniformity and efficiency of the braking process, making the braking more stable, rapid and controllable.
[0031] In some specific embodiments, a plurality of first hinged frames 5, first brake plates 7 and first telescopic rods 9 are provided, and the first hinged frames 5 and the first telescopic rods 9 are fixedly arranged in the elevator shaft 1 of the corresponding floor, and the first brake plates 7 are respectively connected with the corresponding first hinged frames 5 and first telescopic rods 9.
[0032] The corresponding first hinged frames 5 and first telescopic rods 9 are fixedly arranged in the elevator shaft 1 of each floor or a specific floor interval. The number of these components matches the number of floors or floor intervals, ensuring comprehensive coverage of the brake system in the elevator shaft 1.
[0033] Once the elevator car falls abnormally due to any reason, the overspeed sensor 3 will immediately detect the abnormal speed and trigger the activation of the brake assembly 4. At this time, the first telescopic rod 9 of the corresponding floor or floor interval will quickly extend and push the respective first brake plate 7 to perform an inclined movement. Since the brake assembly 4 is distributed over multiple floors, they can choose the most suitable braking position according to different falling situations, thereby achieving precise braking of the elevator car.
[0034] In order to facilitate the understanding of the working principle of the embodiments of the present scheme by those skilled in the art, the working principle of the embodiments of the present scheme will be described in combination with specific application scenarios:
[0035] The overspeed sensor 3 is fixedly arranged in the car body 2 and monitors the acceleration change of the car in real time, ensuring the stability of the elevator during normal operation. When the elevator car is running normally, the first brake plate 7 and the second brake plate 8 are both kept vertical and parallel to each other, without causing any interference to the normal lifting of the car.
[0036] Once the elevator car falls abnormally due to any reason, the overspeed sensor 3 can immediately detect that the running speed of the car exceeds the preset safety threshold. At this time, the first telescopic rod 9 and the second telescopic rod 10 quickly extend and push the first brake plate 7 and the second brake plate 8 to perform an inclined movement, respectively.
[0037] The first telescopic rod 9 pushes the first movable sliding seat 11 to slide in the first sliding groove 13, and uses the first hinged frame 5 as a rotating fulcrum to make the first brake plate 7 change to an inclined state. At the same time, the second telescopic rod 10 pushes the second movable sliding seat 12 to slide in the second sliding groove 14, and uses the second hinged frame 6 as a rotating fulcrum to make the second brake plate 8 also present an inclined state. With the continuous falling of the elevator car, the inclined first brake plate 7 and the second brake plate 8 finally contact each other, forming a stable braking structure. A sufficient braking force is applied to the elevator car to quickly slow down and eventually stop the car from falling.
[0038] It is apparent for a person skilled in the art that the present application is not restricted to the details of the above exemplary embodiments, but that it can be implemented in other concrete forms without departing from the spirit or the essential characteristics of the present application. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered as exemplary only, and not limiting, the scope of the present application being defined by the appended claims rather than the above description, and all changes coming within the meaning and range of equivalency of the claims are therefore intended to be embraced therein. Any reference signs in the claims should not be construed as limiting the claims concerned.
