AI Technical Summary
When the existing elevator brake fails, the safety clamp cannot fully guarantee safety, leading to potential injuries or fatalities. Furthermore, the existing protection system can only report the fault but cannot immediately stop the elevator.
A safety protection system for elevator brake failure was designed. By adding a control device and emergency power supply before the safety clamp, the system ensures that the elevator stops running immediately when the brake fails. The system includes the coordinated operation of components such as the control cabinet, traction machine, brake, running contactor, sealing contactor, frequency converter, and limit switch to achieve safety protection.
When the elevator brake fails, the system can immediately stop the elevator, preventing free fall or slippage, ensuring passenger safety, and preventing damage to mechanical equipment.

Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to elevator safety technical field, concretely relates to a kind of safety protection system of elevator brake failure. BACKGROUND
[0002] The protection of brake failure currently has brake force detection function, whether brake shoe friction meets requirements is detected automatically once a day, and the detection of opening and closing of brake. This is established in the state of abnormal brake of elevator normal operation logic. However, brake failure risk exists when brake operation logic is normal and abnormal. When elevator operation logic is normal, such as brake force automatic detection is normal on a certain day, but before brake force detection on the second day, brake shoe friction is reduced to below minimum critical point, at this time, elevator will slide even free fall, the only protection is safety tongs, system can only report encoder fault. When elevator operation logic is abnormal, such as brake power supply circuit problem, device damage, line non-human short circuit (rat bites cable skin) etc., although brake shoe friction is enough, but power supply circuit problem, brake shoe is opened, at this time, elevator will also slide even free fall, the only protection is also safety tongs, system can only report brake power supply fault, brake shoe state fault, encoder fault. System only cuts off power supply output to hoisting machine in the above two cases, reports frequency converter stop output, and the latter is handed over to safety tongs. But safety tongs alone obviously cannot guarantee, otherwise there would not be many accidents caused by brake failure in the industry. CONTENT OF UTILITY MODEL

[0018] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 The embodiment provides a kind of safety protection system of elevator brake failure, including control cabinet 1, traction machine 2, brake 3 and emergency power supply 4, control cabinet 1, traction machine 2, brake 3, emergency power supply 4 All be set in the elevator machine room 20 of elevator shaft 10 top, elevator control device 11, running contactor 12, star contactor 13, brake running power supply feedback contactor 14 and brake state switch 15 are provided in control cabinet 1, elevator control device 11 is equipped with frequency converter 111, frequency converter 111 is connected with traction machine 2 by the normally open point of running contactor 12, the normally closed point of star contactor 13 is connected between running contactor 12 and traction machine 2, traction machine 2 is connected with frequency converter 111 by encoder 21, traction machine 2 and brake 3 are driven by steel wire rope 5, brake 3 is connected with elevator control device 11 by the normally closed point of brake running power supply feedback contactor 14 and the normally closed point of brake state switch 15 respectively, emergency power supply 4 is connected with the frequency converter 111 of elevator control device 11.
[0019] Its operation logic is that when elevator starts running, star contactor 13 works first, contactor contact is disconnected, then frequency converter 111 outputs zero speed torque through running contactor 12, then outputs brake power, brake 3 opens, and brake state switch 15 feeds back the state that brake opens to elevator control device 11;When elevator is flat and stops, frequency converter 111 outputs zero speed torque through running contactor 12, then cancels brake power output, and brake state switch 15 feeds back the state that brake 3 closes to elevator control device 11.The above operation logic will immediately stop running when any link state has problem, and frequency converter 111 cancels torque output through running contactor 12 in priority, so that the effect of safety protection is realized when elevator brake fails.
[0020] The system further comprises an upper limit switch 6, a lower limit switch 7, a car buffer 8 and a counterweight buffer 9, the upper limit switch 6 and the lower limit switch 7 are arranged on the inner wall of the elevator shaft 10 in up and down directions, and the car buffer 8 and the counterweight buffer 9 are arranged at the bottom of the elevator shaft 10 and correspond to the elevator car 30 and the elevator counterweight 40 respectively.
[0021] The safety accident caused by brake failure mainly occurs when the elevator is ready to stop. Figure 4 As shown in the figure, when the stop operation logic of the elevator ends, it is clear that the elevator car 30 should stop at the landing position at this time, but the brake fails due to some reasons, so that the elevator car 30 appears to be rolling, at this time the frequency converter 111 will find the change of the encoder 21 pulse, which proves that the car is moving, at this time the elevator system does not open the door, and immediately starts the operation to return the elevator car 30 to the landing, when the elevator car 30 returns to the landing operation logic ends, the encoder 21 pulse changes again, at this time it is determined that the brake 3 fails; after determining that the brake 3 fails, the elevator system starts to operate again, and then runs at a speed of 0.2 m / s in the direction of the rolling car, cancels the running limit function, until the elevator car 30 hits the upper limit switch 6 or the lower limit switch 7 of the elevator shaft 10, the safety circuit is disconnected, and the elevator system stops running, at this time the elevator will continue to roll about 400 mm, the elevator counterweight 40 presses the counterweight buffer 9 or the elevator car 30 presses the car buffer 8, as shown in the figure. Figure 2 、 Figure 3 At this time, the rolling of the elevator car 30 is completely finished, and it is in a safe and stationary state.
[0022] In addition, the emergency power supply 4 is added to prevent the brake 3 from failing when the city power supply is disconnected, so that it can also operate according to the above operation logic.
