Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to elevator systems, and in particular to an elevator pit layout structure. Background Technology
[0002] In elevator systems, a counterweight is typically used to reduce the pulling force required by the traction machine. Since the total mass of the elevator car varies with passenger load, the counterweight's mass is difficult to maintain in constant alignment with the total mass of the car. Currently, the counterweight's weight is typically around 40% to 50% of the car's full load weight, thus balancing part of the car's weight and reducing the motor's burden. When the elevator is a high-speed elevator, it generates significant centrifugal force and dynamic loads. Because the difference between the car's mass and the counterweight's mass is uncertain, the overall stress distribution is unstable, making it difficult to precisely control the car's speed and position. To address this, a counterweight rope is installed, connected to the bottom of the car and the bottom of the counterweight, and looping around the tensioning device. This stabilizes the stress on the car, thereby improving the overall stability of the elevator system.
[0003] When designing elevators, the layout needs to be flexible according to space requirements. When the counterweight of a high-speed elevator is set on the side of the elevator, the position of the tensioning device used to tighten the counterweight rope of the high-speed elevator will interfere with the position of the car guide rail. Therefore, a layout structure needs to be designed so that the two structures can coexist. Utility Model Content

[0029] Furthermore, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of this utility model described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.
[0030] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2This utility model application protects an elevator pit layout structure, including a counterweight guide rail 1, a tensioning device 4, a guide rail bridge 3, and a car guide rail 2. The pit has a front 101 corresponding to the elevator door, a back 102 opposite to the front 101, a first side 103 and a second side 104 connecting the front 101 and the back 102, and a bottom surface 105 formed at the bottom of the pit. The counterweight guide rail 1 has two vertical single rails 11, each adjacent to the first side 103 of the pit and arranged opposite to each other, for restraining the counterweight 106. The tensioning device 4 is used to tension the counterweight rope 44 connected between the bottom of the counterweight 106 and the bottom of the car 107, and is disposed between the two single rails 11. The guide rail bridge 3 includes two opposing support legs 31 and a bridge surface 32 supporting the tops of the two support legs 31. The two support legs 31 are respectively located on both sides of the tensioning device 4 and on the side of the counterweight guide rail 1 away from the first side 103 of the pit. The bridge surface 32 is located above the tensioning device 4. The car guide rail 2 is used to restrain the car 107 and includes a first guide rail 21 and a second guide rail 22 vertically opposite each other. The second guide rail 22 is connected to the second side 104 and faces the first side 103. The bottom of the first guide rail 21 is supported by the bridge surface 32 of the guide rail bridge 3, and the second guide rail 22 is supported by the bottom surface 105 of the pit.
[0031] By setting up the tensioning device 4 and the counterweight rope 44, the elevator system is subjected to more balanced and stable forces. By setting up the guide rail bridge 3, the first guide rail 21 is supported above the tensioning device 4, and the tensioning device 4 is set below the guide rail bridge 3. This avoids mutual interference between structures while meeting the spatial layout and installation requirements, and allows each component to be installed in an orderly manner in the elevator pit.
[0032] Please refer to the following examples.
[0033] Example 1:
[0034] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The elevator pit layout structure shown in a preferred embodiment of this application includes a counterweight guide rail 1, a tensioning device 4, a guide rail bridge 3, and a car guide rail 2. The pit is rectangular, with the surface of the pit corresponding to the elevator door as the front 101, the surface opposite to the front 101 as the back 102, the two surfaces connecting the front 101 and the back 102 as the first side 103 and the second side 104, and the bottom surface as the bottom 105. In this embodiment, the counterweight 106 is disposed on the side of the car 107 near the first side 103. The bottom surface 105 of the pit is horizontal, the front 101 and the back 102 are both parallel to a first direction, the first side 103 and the second side 104 are both parallel to a second direction, and the first and second directions are perpendicular to each other.
[0035] The counterweight guide rail 1 includes two vertically extending single rails 11 arranged opposite each other. Both single rails 11 are adjacent to the first side 103 and symmetrically arranged along the centerline of the pit. The side of the counterweight guide rail 1 adjacent to the first side 103 is connected to the first side 103 by multiple vertically arranged guide rail supports 12, and multiple transfer plates 13 are connected to the side of the counterweight guide rail 1 away from the first side 103. The multiple transfer plates 13 are horizontally arranged and vertically arranged sequentially, connecting the two counterweight guide rails 1. The thickness of the counterweight guide rail 1 in the first direction is greater than the thickness of the counterweight 106 in the first direction; therefore, when the counterweight 106 is slidably connected to the counterweight guide rail 1, there is a gap between the counterweight 106 and the transfer plates 13, preventing interference.
[0036] The car guide rail 2 includes a vertically arranged first guide rail 21 and a second guide rail 22. One end of the bottom of the second guide rail 22 is supported on the bottom surface 105 of the pit and connected to the second side surface 104 of the pit, with the second guide rail 22 facing the first side surface 103 of the pit. The first guide rail 21 is arranged opposite to the second guide rail 22 and is located on the side of the counterweight guide rail 1 away from the first side surface 103 of the pit. The first guide rail 21 is connected to the middle of each transfer plate 13 and its bottom is supported by the guide rail bridge 3.
[0037] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The guide rail bridge 3 includes two opposing support legs 31 and a bridge surface 32 supported on top of the two support legs 31. The support legs 31 are rectangular blocks, vertically aligned parallel to a first direction, with adjustable foot pads 33 connected to their bottom ends in the first direction. The bridge surface 32 is a rectangular plate, fixedly connected to and supported by the two support legs 31. Since the bottom surface 105 of the pit typically has low levelness and flatness, the adjustable foot pads 33 are used to adjust the bridge surface 32 to maintain its levelness. The bottom end of the first guide rail 21 is supported on the upper surface of the bridge surface 32.
[0038] The tensioning device 4 includes a vertically arranged floating track 41, a wheel frame 42 slidably connected to the floating track 41, and two tensioning wheels 43 rotatably connected to the wheel frame 42. The floating track 41 is located at the center of the support foot 31 in the first direction and on the side of the support foot 31 near another support frame. A floating track 41 is connected to each of the two support feet 31. The wheel frame 42 has a rectangular frame structure and is arranged along the first direction. The wheel frame 42 includes two symmetrically arranged wheel forks 422 and a sliding part 421 connected to the center of the wheel frame 42. The sliding part 421 is vertically arranged and embedded in the wheel frame 42, with both ends connected to the inner wall of the wheel frame 42. The two sides of the sliding part 421, parallel to the first direction, engage with the floating track 41 and are slidably connected to the floating track 41. The wheel forks 422 are connected below the top edge of the wheel frame 42, located inside the wheel frame 42, and extend vertically downwards. Their bottom ends branch into two forks, which are rotatably connected to the two ends of the central shaft of the tensioning wheels 43. Two forks 422 are symmetrically arranged along the sliding portion 421, and the two tensioning rollers 43 have identical structures. Multiple annular grooves 431 are formed on the surface of the tensioning rollers 43 for accommodating the counterweight ropes 44. One end of the counterweight rope 44 is connected to the bottom of the counterweight 106 along the centerline of the first direction, passes around the two tensioning rollers 43 in sequence, and is then connected to the bottom of the car 107 along the centerline of the first direction. The counterweight ropes 44 are parallel to the first direction. The counterweight ropes 44 between the counterweight 106 and the tensioning rollers 43, and between the car 107 and the tensioning rollers 43, all extend vertically. The counterweight rope 44 between the two tensioning rollers 43 extends horizontally, embedding itself in the grooves 431 when passing over the tensioning rollers 43. In this embodiment, seven counterweight ropes 44 are evenly arranged along the second direction, and the counterweight ropes 44 are connected to the middle of the car 107 and the counterweight 106 along the second direction.
[0039] In this embodiment, the tensioning device 4 is directly installed on the guide rail bridge 3, which helps to simplify the overall structure. The adjustable foot pads 33 can simultaneously adjust the level of the bridge surface 32 and the verticality of the floating track 41, reducing the installation difficulty.
[0040] This embodiment also includes a counterweight buffer 5 and a car buffer 6. Both the counterweight buffer 5 and the car buffer 6 are hydraulic buffers, connected to the bottom surface 105 of the pit and vertically installed. The tops of the counterweight buffer 5 and the car buffer 6 are at the same height and slightly higher than the upper surface of the bridge deck 32, preventing the bottom of the car 107 and the counterweight 106 from impacting the guide rail bridge 3. The two counterweight buffers 5 are positioned between the two single rails 11, on the same straight line as the two single rails 11, and symmetrical about the centerline of the counterweight 106 in the first direction. The line connecting the two car buffers 6 is parallel to the second direction, and the two car buffers 6 are symmetrical about the centerline of the car 107 in the first direction.
[0041] In this embodiment, the arrangement structure also includes a first sensor 7 and a second sensor 8. Both the first sensor 7 and the second sensor 8 are mounted on the support leg 31, with their sensing direction facing the tension wheel 43. When the wheel frame 42 approaches the lower surface of the bridge deck 32, the tension wheel 43 reaches the sensing position of the first sensor 7. When the wheel frame 42 approaches the bottom surface 105 of the pit, the tension wheel 43 reaches the sensing position of the second sensor 8. When either the first sensor 7 or the second sensor 8 senses the tension wheel 43, it indicates that the car 107 is experiencing instability, and the elevator system loses power.
[0042] This utility model, through its layout design, meets the design requirement of placing the counterweight 106 on the side of the car 107, and also has a high level of safety.
[0043] Example 2:
[0044] The only difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that in this embodiment, the width of the guide rail bridge 3 is matched with the first guide rail 21, and the floating track 41 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface 105 of the pit and is separate from the guide rail bridge 3.
[0045] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.
[0046] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
