Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of elevator technology, and in particular to a multi-traction elevator. Background Technology
[0002] Elevators are essential transportation tools in high-rise buildings. According to the driving method, elevators can be divided into traction drive, hydraulic drive, etc. Among them, traction drive has many advantages such as safety and reliability, unlimited lifting height, and easy control of elevator speed. Therefore, traction drive elevators have gradually become the mainstream elevator products.
[0003] In traction-driven elevators, multiple traction ropes are typically wound around the traction sheave of the same traction machine and connected to the car. The car moves up and down by the traction ropes and the traction machine. In practical use, this type of single-traction elevator experiences high loads on the traction ropes and traction machine, resulting in a shorter service life and higher maintenance costs. Furthermore, if a single-traction elevator malfunctions, the car may stop moving, trapping passengers inside. In such cases, assistance from staff is necessary, leading to lower safety and convenience. Utility Model Content

The traction ropes of each pair of traction mechanisms are symmetrically distributed with reference to the central axis of the car. The traction sheave is mounted on the drive assembly and can be driven by the drive assembly to rotate, thereby driving the car to rise and fall by driving the traction ropes.

When the traction pulleys rotate, the traction ropes are driven by the frictional force between themselves and the traction pulleys to drive the first return rope pulleys and the second return rope pulleys to rotate, and transmit force to the car body and the counterweight body through the first return rope pulleys and the second return rope pulleys respectively.
[0013] According to one embodiment of the present invention, each group of first return rope pulleys is provided with two pulleys, and the two pulleys of each group are spaced apart and symmetrically distributed with reference to the central axis of the machine car.

The basic principles of the present invention defined in the following description can be applied to other embodiments, modifications, improvements, equivalents, and other technical solutions that do not depart from the spirit and scope of the present invention.

They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, the above terms should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.
[0022] It is understood that the term "a" should be understood as "at least one" or "one or more", that is, in one embodiment, the number of an element can be one, while in another embodiment, the number of the element can be multiple, and the term "a" should not be understood as a limitation on the number.
[0023] refer to Figures 1 to 3 A preferred embodiment of the multi-traction elevator according to the present invention will be described in detail below. The multi-traction elevator includes a car 10, at least one pair of traction mechanisms 20, and a slide rail assembly 30. The slide rail assembly 30 includes a set of first slide rails 31, which are vertically installed in the elevator shaft. The car 10 is slidably installed on the first slide rails 31. The traction mechanism 20 is located at the top of the elevator shaft. The traction mechanism 20 is installed on the car 10 and can drive the car 10 to slide up and down along the first slide rails 31 within the elevator shaft.
[0024] Preferably, a set of two first slide rails 31 are provided, the two first slide rails 31 are arranged relative to each other and the distance between them is adapted to the size of the car 10, and the car 10 is slidably arranged between the two first slide rails 31.
[0025] The traction mechanism 20 includes a set of traction ropes 21 and a traction component 22. The traction component 22 includes a traction sheave 221 and a drive assembly 222. The traction ropes 21 are wound around the traction sheave 221 and connected to the car 10. The traction sheave 221 is mounted on the drive assembly 222 and can be driven by the drive assembly 222 to rotate, thereby driving the car 10 to rise and fall by driving the traction ropes 21. The traction ropes 21 of each pair of traction mechanisms 20 are symmetrically distributed with reference to the central axis of the car 10 to uniformly transmit force to the car 10. During the rising and falling of the car 10, the car 10 is subjected to multiple traction actions, ensuring that the car 10 can rise and fall stably.
[0026] In addition, at least one pair of traction mechanisms 20 simultaneously drives the car 10 to rise and fall, so that the load is shared by at least one pair of traction mechanisms 20. Compared with using a single one, this reduces the load on each traction mechanism 20, increases its service life, and if one of the traction mechanisms 20 in the pair fails, the car 10 can still rise and fall under the action of the other traction mechanism 20, realizing temporary single traction. Compared with common single traction elevators, this avoids the situation of being trapped in the elevator, and improves the safety and convenience of use.
[0027] Preferably, the drive component 222 is implemented to include a motor.
[0028] In one embodiment, the traction rope 21 can be wound up by the traction sheave 221 to drive the car 10 to rise and fall.
[0029] refer to Figures 2 to 3 Preferably, the slide rail assembly 30 further includes two sets of second slide rails 32, which are arranged in the elevator shaft parallel to the first slide rail 31. The multi-traction elevator also includes two pairs of counterweights 40, which are respectively installed on the two sets of second slide rails 32 and symmetrically distributed on both sides of the car 10. A set of traction ropes 21 is partially wound around the outer periphery of each traction sheave 221, and each set of traction ropes 21 is partially located on both sides of the corresponding traction sheave 221, with the portions on both sides of the corresponding traction sheave 221 extending downward to connect to the car 10 and one of the counterweights 40 respectively. When the traction sheave 221 rotates, the traction rope 21 is driven by the friction between itself and the traction sheave 221. Either the car 10 or the counterweight 40 is driven by the traction rope 21 and its own weight, while the other is driven by the traction rope 21 and the tension exerted on it by the former, so that the two counterweights 40 cooperate to balance the weight of the car 10, reduce the load on the two drive components 222, and further improve the overall service life.
[0030] Preferably, each group of second slide rails 32 is provided with two, the two second slide rails 32 are arranged relatively apart and the distance between them is adapted to the size of the counterweight 40, and each counterweight 40 is arranged between the two second slide rails 32 of the group, so that when the counterweight 40 is driven to rise and fall, the counterweight 40 can slide stably along the corresponding two second slide rails 32.
[0031] Preferably, the elevator car 10 includes a car body 11 and at least two sets of first return rope pulleys 12, with each pair of first return rope pulleys 12 symmetrically distributed with reference to the central axis of the car body 11. The first return rope pulleys 12 are rotatably mounted to the car body 11, and the car body 11 is slidably mounted to the first slide rail 31. The counterweight 40 includes a pair of weight bodies 41 and at least one second return rope pulley 42, with the second return rope pulley 42 rotatably mounted to the counterweight body 41, and the counterweight body 41 slidably mounted to the second slide rail 32. The portions of each set of traction ropes 21 located on both sides of the corresponding traction pulley 221 are respectively wound around the lower circumference of a set of first return rope pulleys 12 and a second return rope pulley 42 of the counterweight 40 and then extended upward to be fixed to the top wall of the elevator shaft. When the traction sheave 221 rotates, the traction rope 21 is driven by the friction between itself and the traction sheave 221, thereby driving the first return rope sheave 12 and the second return rope sheave 42 to rotate. The first return rope sheave 12 and the second return rope sheave 42 then transmit forces to the elevator car 11 and the counterweight 41, respectively. During this process, the first return rope sheave 12 and the second return rope sheave 42 change the direction of the traction rope 21, distributing the forces exerted on it by the elevator car 11 and the counterweight 41 to the top wall of the elevator shaft. This reduces the load on the traction component 22, decreases the power loss of the drive assembly 222, and extends the lifespan of the traction rope 21.
[0032] Preferably, each group of first return rope pulleys 12 has two pulleys, and the two pulleys 12 in each group are spaced apart and symmetrically distributed with reference to the central axis of the machine car 11. Each group of traction ropes 21 simultaneously wraps around the lower circumference of the two first return rope pulleys 12 in one group, so that the traction ropes 21 transmit force evenly to the machine car 11 through the corresponding two first return rope pulleys 12. In this way, through the coordinated action of at least one pair of traction mechanisms 20 and at least two groups of first return rope pulleys 12, the machine car 11 can be driven and stably raised and lowered.
[0033] Preferably, the first return rope pulley 12 is disposed at the bottom of the machine compartment 11.
[0034] Preferably, the second return rope pulley 42 is disposed on the top of the counterweight 41.
[0035] refer to Figure 2The multi-traction elevator further includes a set of safety clamps 50, the number of which is the same as the number of the first slide rails 31. Each safety clamp 50 is installed in the car 11, and each safety clamp 50 corresponds to one of the first slide rails 31. Each safety clamp 50 is configured to clamp one of the first slide rails 31 to brake the car 11 when it moves at excessive speed, providing effective protection for safe operation.
[0036] refer to Figures 2 to 3 The cabin 11 includes a body 111 and a door 112. The body 111 is slidably mounted on the first slide rail 31, and the first return rope pulley 12 is rotatably mounted on the body 111. The door 112 is openable and closable on the body 111 to allow people or goods to enter or exit. During lifting, the body 111 and the door 112 form a closed space, increasing safety during use.
[0037] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 The multi-traction elevator also includes multiple landing doors 60, which are arranged vertically at intervals and are closable and mounted on the side wall of the elevator shaft. The car 11 can be driven up and down by the traction rope 21 to align the car door 112 with the landing door 60. When the car door 112 and the landing door 60 are aligned, they can be controlled to open simultaneously.
[0038] Those skilled in the art should understand that the embodiments of the present invention described above and shown in the accompanying drawings are merely examples and do not limit the present invention. The advantages of the present invention have been fully and effectively realized. The functions and structural principles of the present invention have been shown and explained in the embodiments, and any modifications or variations may be made to the implementation of the present invention without departing from the stated principles.
