Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of elevators, specifically to a cable fixing structure and an elevator. Background Technology

[0002] Existing elevators typically use wire rope end assemblies or cable end assemblies to secure the wire rope or cable to the car top beam, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the flexible rope is connected to the car top beam via a rope end assembly. The rope end assembly includes a rope end, a screw, shock-absorbing rubber, a rope end spring, a locking nut, and a cotter pin, all sequentially threaded onto the screw. During installation, the screw fixed to the rope end passes through a rope end plate on the car top beam. Below the rope end plate, the shock-absorbing rubber, rope end spring, locking nut, and cotter pin are sequentially installed onto the rope end screw. This method requires a height space of at least 250mm, placing high demands on the height of the elevator's top floor. Utility Model Content

[0028] Detailed Implementation

[0029] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to specific embodiments. These embodiments will help those skilled in the art to further understand the present invention, but do not limit the present invention in any way. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make several changes and improvements without departing from the concept of the present invention. These all fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0030] This utility model provides a rope fixing structure that utilizes the principle of Euler's formula. The rope includes a steel strip or steel wire rope, specifically, as shown in the example below. Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, the rope fixing structure includes a circular tube beam 501, a rope end bar 502, a fixing device 503, and an inspection device 505; the fixing device 503 is a rope end pressure plate, and the rope end pressure plate is a C-shaped plate structure.

[0031] The circular tube beam 501 is located inside the elevator car top and serves as the beam of the car top. The cable is suspended from the circular tube beam 501. The circular tube beam 501 is a circular tube structure. In a preferred embodiment, since the circular tube beam 501 and the rope end bar 502 are subject to the rotational force of the cable, an anti-rotation structure is also provided on the circular tube beam 501 and the rope end bar 502 to prevent them from rotating. In a preferred embodiment, the anti-rotation structure is a protruding structure. A groove structure is provided in the car top, and the shape of the protruding structure matches the shape of the groove structure. The protruding structure is inserted into the groove structure to achieve the anti-rotation of the circular tube beam 501.

[0032] In a preferred embodiment, a cable entry guide device 507 is provided on the circular tube beam 501 on the cable entry side to ensure that the position of the cable entering the car top is at the center of the car.

[0033] The rope passes around the round tube beam 501 and then around the rope end bar 502 to become the end of the rope. The rope end pressure plate fixes the rope 506 that has passed around the rope end bar 502 to the car top. Specifically, the rope end pressure plate fixes the rope 506 that has passed around the rope end bar 502 to the round tube beam 501.

[0034] In a preferred embodiment, a rope fixing guide device 508 is provided at the rope end pressure plate to ensure that the position where the rope is fixed is not misaligned with the position where it enters the car top; both the rope entry guide device 507 and the rope fixing guide device 508 can have the following structure:

[0035] The guiding device can provide guidance for the cable 506 by creating grooves on the plate that match the shape of the cable. Alternatively, the guiding device consists of two plate-shaped parts, with the inner plate being thicker than the cable and having notches to limit its left and right position on the crossbeam, and the outer plate pressing against the inner plate for fixation.

[0036] The cable fixing structure also includes an operating manual, which explains the installation, inspection and maintenance methods of the device; the inspection device and the operating manual can be installed on the cable entry guide device 507.

[0037] After the elevator is installed, a line is drawn on the rope 506 and the inspection device 505 at the fixed point corresponding to the rope 506. During maintenance, the line is observed to verify whether the rope is in its original position. In a preferred embodiment, the inspection device 505 is a C-shaped plate structure.

[0038] Existing elevators typically use wire rope end assemblies or steel strip end assemblies to fix the wire rope or steel strip to the car top beam. This method requires a height space of more than 250mm, so the fixing structure protrudes from the car top space. In contrast, the fixing components involved in the cable fixing structure of this utility model (such as the rope end bar 502, fixing device 503, etc.) are all located inside the car top, which greatly reduces the requirement for the top floor height of the elevator shaft, and further reduces the requirement for the top floor height of the elevator shaft.

[0039] In a preferred embodiment, to increase the angle at which the rope wraps around the circular tube beam 501, multiple beams can be provided, preferably two, such as... Figure 4 As shown, the rope is fixed after passing through multiple circular tube beams 501.

[0040] The principle of the height reduction cable fixing structure is as follows: According to Euler's formula, after a flexible structure such as a rope passes over a circular wheel, the ratio of the maximum tension at its two ends satisfies T. 1 / T2≤e fα In the formula, T1 and T2 represent the maximum and minimum tension forces borne by the two ends of the rope entering and exiting the circular pulley, respectively; f is the equivalent coefficient of friction between the rope and the circular pulley; and α is the wrap angle of the rope on the circular pulley. Figure 3 As shown, in a preferred embodiment where the number of circular tube beams 501 is one, α > 270°, and can be 300°; for example... Figure 4 As shown, in a preferred embodiment where there are two circular tube beams 501, the angles α in the left and right circular tube beams 501 are α1 and α2, respectively; α1 < 180° can be 150°, and α2 > 180° can be 190°. e is the base of the natural logarithm. In this utility model, one end of the rope bears the elevator car load T1, and after it is wrapped around the circular beam on the car top with a wrap angle α, its tension decreases to Therefore, a relatively simple method can be used to fix the other end to suspend the car. Since conventional rope end fixing devices protrude from the car top, increasing the height requirement of the top floor of the hoistway, this device can significantly reduce this requirement.
