[0066] Here, in order to cooperate with the arrangement of the two roller assemblies 2, the number of the first mounting holes 12 is also set to two, and the two first mounting holes 12 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the recess 11, and the two roller assemblies 2 are respectively installed to the two first mounting holes 12.

[0067] In addition, the other side of the base plate 1 opposite to the side where the recess 11 is formed is a flat surface. That is, the recess 11 is formed on one side of the base plate 1, and the other side of the base plate 1 opposite thereto is a flat surface, so that the flat surface is in contact with the surface of the counterweight frame of the elevator.

[0068] In the shown example, the number of the fixing holes 14 is set to four, the four fixing holes 14 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the recess 11, and on each side of the recess 11, two fixing holes 14 are spaced apart from each other by a predetermined distance, and the first mounting hole 12 is located between the two fixing holes 14, preferably, the distance between the first mounting hole 12 and the two fixing holes 14 is equal, and the distance between the first mounting hole 12 and the fixing hole 14 is designed to allow the installation of the roller assembly 2 without hindering the application of the fixing hole 14.
