AI Technical Summary
In existing elevator safety clamps, the U-shaped spring structure results in high manufacturing costs, high testing and debugging costs, and the braking force of each safety clamp is inconsistent due to processing errors and material springback errors, posing a safety hazard. In addition, the product debugging efficiency is low.

Technical Field
[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of elevator braking technology, specifically to a spring and a safety clamp. Background Technology
[0002] The safety brake is an important component of the elevator safety protection system. When the elevator experiences abnormal speed, the speed governor activates, simultaneously pulling the safety brake to bring the elevator car to an emergency stop and hold it on the guide rails.
[0003] Currently, safety clamps on the market, regardless of elevator size, all use a single U-shaped spring structure. The size of the U-shaped spring and the safety clamp is adjusted to suit different elevators. The requirement for (elevator rated load + car weight) is... For high-value elevators, the volume and thickness of this type of U-shaped spring need to be increased, and the U-shaped spring also requires a larger safety space, resulting in excessively high manufacturing, testing, assembly, debugging, and braking force testing costs, making mass production difficult. Furthermore, due to processing errors and material springback errors, each U-shaped spring has different opening dimensions and angles. This requires repeated adjustments to the gaps between the two wedges and the sides of the elevator guide rail for each safety clamp, causing the U-shaped spring to shift relative to the center of the elevator guide rail. This cannot guarantee that the braking force of the two wedges on the elevator guide rail is consistent, leading to the safety hazard of asynchronous wedge action, and the overall product debugging efficiency is slow. Therefore, we propose a spring and safety clamp design. Summary of the Invention

[0115] In some other implementations, such as Figure 19 As shown, the side plate 1 is provided with a first limiting platform 18 corresponding to the limiting groove 17. The first limiting platform 18 extends into the limiting groove 17, so that the spring body 2 can be installed and the spring body 2 can be limited to prevent the spring body 2 from shifting or rotating, thereby ensuring that no accident occurs during the elevator braking process; at this time, the positive pressure part 3 approaches the clamping device and abuts against the clamping device.
[0116] In some other implementations, such as Figure 20 As shown, the clamping device is provided with a second limiting platform 19, which extends into the limiting groove 17, thereby installing the spring body 2 on the clamping device. At this time, the positive pressure part 3 abuts against the side plate 1.
[0117] Example 6
[0118] This embodiment provides a safety clamp, which is equipped with a spring provided in embodiments one to five above;
[0119] like Figure 21 and Figure 22 As shown, a safety clamp includes:
[0120] The clamp body includes a side plate 1, a bottom plate and a top plate, and an installation space is formed between the side plate 1, the bottom plate and the top plate, through which the elevator guide rail passes.
[0121] The two symmetrical side plates 1 can be separate, and optionally, a back plate 23 is also included. The two symmetrical side plates 1 are integrated into a single structure through the back plate 23, which can strengthen the overall structural strength of the clamp body and increase the service life of the clamp body.
[0122] Furthermore, the connection between the spring body 2 and the side plate 1 can be achieved by using two mounting pieces 8 to install the two spring bodies 2 onto the two side plates 1 respectively, or by using one mounting piece 8 to directly install the two spring bodies 2 onto the two side plates 1 respectively.
[0123] The overall strength of the safety clamp is enhanced by the integral molding structure of the side plate 1 and the back plate 23, and the structure in which the two spring bodies 2 are mounted by a mounting piece 8.
[0124] A safety clamp also includes:
[0125] The clamping device includes a clamping assembly, which includes two brake wedges 20 symmetrically arranged inside the installation space. The two brake wedges 20 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the elevator guide rail. Anti-slip components are provided on the side wall of the brake wedges 20 near the elevator guide rail to increase the friction between them and the elevator guide rail and enhance the braking effect.
[0126] The clamping device also includes a guide assembly, which includes two guide blocks 21 symmetrically arranged in the installation space. The two guide blocks 21 are located on the opposite side of the two brake wedges 20, and the opposite sidewalls of the two guide blocks 21 abut against the spring body 2.
[0127] A needle roller array is provided between the guide block 21 and the brake wedge 20 to reduce the friction force when the brake wedge 20 moves. Limiting plates 22 are also provided on both sides of the guide block 21 to guide the movement of the brake wedge 20 and prevent the brake wedge 20 from deviating.
[0128] The clamp body is also provided with a middle plate 24, on which a guide part is provided. Correspondingly, the top plate of the clamp body is also provided with a guide part, which corresponds to the bottom and top of the guide block 21 respectively, and can guide the movement of the guide block 21.
[0129] The clamping device also includes a lifting assembly, which has a lifting rod 25. The bottom of the lifting rod 25 extends through the top plate of the clamp body into the installation space and is connected to a connecting plate. The connecting plate has elongated holes corresponding to two brake wedges 20. The brake wedges 20 have pin holes, and pin shafts 26 are installed in the pin holes and extend into the elongated holes.
[0130] A screw 27 is provided on the side of the spring body 2 away from the clamping device. The end of the screw 2 away from the spring body 2 extends through the side plate 1 to the outside of the clamp body. A nut and a washer are provided on the screw 27 to increase the preload.
[0131] Working principle: When the elevator needs to be braked, the brake above the elevator pulls the lifting rod 25 upward, causing the connecting plate to move upward and driving the two brake wedges 20 upward. During the upward movement of the two brake wedges 20, they move closer to each other, and the anti-slip parts contact the elevator guide rail. Since the elevator guide rail is located between the two brake wedges 20, the cross-section of the guide block 21 gradually decreases from the top to the bottom, while the cross-section of the brake wedge 20 increases from the top to the bottom. In the early stage of contact, the two brake wedges 20 will push the two guide blocks 21 away from each other, thereby applying a pushing force to the spring body 2. Under the elastic force of the spring body 2, the guide block 21 is pushed back, which in turn makes the two brake wedges 20 move closer together, and finally clamps the elevator guide rail to achieve elevator braking.
[0132] By using a split design, two spring bodies 2 are symmetrically arranged inside the clamp body. The spring bodies 2 are connected to the side plate 1 or the guide block 21, which fixes the spring bodies 2 and prevents them from shifting. Compared with the U-shaped spring method used in the prior art, the spring provided in this application is more stable in use, and the one-piece molded structure increases the strength of the spring bodies 2. Compared with the U-shaped spring, it is smaller in size and occupies less space inside the clamp body, thus saving materials and costs, and is suitable for mass production.
[0133] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and an explanation of the technical principles employed. Those skilled in the art should understand that the scope of the invention involved in this application is not limited to technical solutions formed by specific combinations of the above-described technical features, but should also cover other technical solutions formed by arbitrary combinations of the above-described technical features or their equivalents without departing from the inventive concept. For example, technical solutions formed by substituting the above features with (but not limited to) technical features with similar functions disclosed in this application.
