Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of elevator safety technology, and in particular to a speed governor safety clamp electrical switch detection device. Background Technology

[0002] When an elevator is operating at excessive speed, the speed governor detects the car descending at excessive speed and activates the safety brake to bring the elevator to an emergency stop, providing necessary safety protection. The speed governor-activated safety brake activation involves both mechanical and electrical components, providing dual protection. This dual protection essentially means that the safety brake is controlled by electrical and mechanical conduction, respectively. Both the speed governor's electrical switch and the safety brake's electrical switch are normally closed contacts by default and are connected in series as part of a safety circuit. This means that, under default conditions, the safety circuit always outputs a safety signal indicating that the elevator can operate normally.

[0003] The electrical transmission process is as follows: the speed governor detects overspeed in the gearbox, the speed governor safety switch is activated, the electrical signal from the speed governor safety switch is transmitted to the safety gear electrical switch, the safety circuit is disconnected, the safety gear electrical switch is activated, the safety gear electrical switch is linked to the safety gear mechanical structure, and the safety gear mechanical structure brings the gearbox to an emergency stop.

[0004] The mechanical transmission process is a further supplement to the electrical transmission process. Its workflow is as follows: The speed governor detects overspeed in the calibration chamber. If the speed governor safety switch does not operate normally, or if the speed governor safety switch operates normally but the signal is not transmitted to the safety gear electrical switch, the safety gear electrical switch will not operate. The speed governor mechanical structure is then further triggered, and the speed governor mechanical transmission is transmitted to the safety gear mechanical structure. The safety gear immediately stops the calibration chamber, and the safety gear electrical switch is triggered by the safety gear mechanical structure.

[0005] Therefore, it can be seen that mechanical protection and electrical protection are essentially the same in their final performance. When the speed governor pulls up and the safety gear is effective, maintenance personnel cannot determine whether the speed governor switch and the safety gear switch have actually been activated, because the mechanical components have already stopped the car, and one of the electrical switches has been activated, disconnecting the safety circuit.

[0006] For maintenance personnel, regular maintenance inspections and tests of the speed governor and safety brake can easily overlook the transmission method from the speed governor electrical switch to the safety brake electrical switch. This means that while there may be both electrical and mechanical safety features, only the mechanical safety feature may actually be effective. In such cases, maintenance personnel must manually observe the operating status of the speed governor safety switch and whether the safety brake electrical switch is triggered synchronously during elevator inspections or routine maintenance.

[0007] Because the installation locations of safety clamps vary and the speed governor electrical switches of machine-room-less elevators are difficult to observe directly, maintenance personnel have difficulty visually observing the electrical conduction process and may easily overlook testing the electrical conduction method. This makes it difficult to determine whether the electrical conduction fuse in the double insurance is working, thus creating potential safety hazards. Utility Model Content

[0023] Optionally, an auxiliary branch is included, which includes: a first normally open switch and a second temporary power supply to be activated in sequence, wherein the second temporary power supply is configured to control the first switch and the second switch to close when energized;

[0024] When the first normally open switch is closed, the second temporary power supply is activated in conjunction with it. The first normally open switch is configured to close when the first branch is energized and open when it is de-energized.

The first branch is de-energized, and both the first and second switches are disconnected. The governor switch and safety gear switch are completely disconnected from the safety circuit. Since the second branch is coupled to the end of the circuit, it replaces the original safety circuit, maintaining a safety signal output at the end of the circuit, allowing the elevator to operate normally for the governor-safety gear linkage test. At the start of the governor-safety gear linkage test, the elevator runs at overspeed. The detection circuit separately checks whether the governor switch and safety gear switch operate as expected, conveniently verifying the reliability of the double safety protection.

[0056] The term "coupled" in this application means that when the first device and the second device are connected, the first device and the second device are not necessarily directly connected, but rather that there are an unlimited number of other devices between the first device and the second device, although they can also be directly connected.

[0057] The term "speed limiter switch and safety brake switch connected in series" in this application is not limited to the two being connected in a manner where the speed limiter switch comes first and the safety brake switch comes second; the order can also be reversed. Furthermore, the connection method is not limited to a direct connection; it is permissible for the speed limiter switch and safety brake switch to contain an unlimited number of other devices, and of course, a direct connection is also possible.

[0058] The term "detector" in this application refers to a circuit device capable of distinguishing whether a circuit is on or off, and the method of distinction includes physical information such as sound and light. For example, a detector may use an indicator light that indicates whether a circuit is on or off through the on / off light information.

[0059] The term "common series" in this application refers to a circuit series relationship in which the connection order of multiple devices is not limited.

[0060] One embodiment of this application provides a speed limiter safety clamp electrical switch detection device, including a safety circuit 100, a safety branch 200, and a detection circuit 300.

[0061] See Figure 1 The safety circuit 100 includes the following components coupled in sequence: a first power supply 101, a first switch 110, a normally closed speed limiter switch 103 and a safety clamp switch 104 connected in series, a second switch 120, and a circuit end 130. The circuit end 130 is used to output a safety signal indicating that the elevator is in normal operating condition.

[0062] The safety branch 200 includes, in sequence, a first power supply 101, a switchable test switch 210, and a first branch 211 and a second branch 212 connected to different switching positions. The first branch 211 is configured such that when energized, both the first switch 110 and the second switch 120 are on, and vice versa; that is, when the first branch 211 is de-energized, both the first switch 110 and the second switch 120 are off. The second branch 212 is coupled to the end of the loop 130.

[0063] The detection circuit 300 is used to detect the changes in the conduction state of the speed limiter switch 103 and the safety brake switch 104 when both the first switch 110 and the second switch 120 are open.

[0064] In this embodiment, when the elevator is operating normally, pin 1 of test switch 210 (S1) is turned on, and the first power supply 101 (e.g., 110V) is connected to the first branch 211 through test switch 210. The first branch 211 is energized. Both the first switch 110 and the second switch 120 are normally open switches. Both the first switch 110 and the second switch 120 are turned on, and the circuit end 130 of the safety circuit 100 outputs a safety signal to maintain the normal operation of the elevator.

[0065] When preparing to conduct the "speed governor-safety gear linkage test", the maintenance personnel switch the test switch 210 from energizing the first branch 211 to energizing the second branch 212. Pin 2 of test switch 210 (S1) is activated, and simultaneously, the first branch 211 is de-energized. Both the first switch 110 and the second switch 120 are disconnected, and the "speed governor switch 103 and safety gear switch 104, which are connected in series," are completely disconnected from the safety circuit 100. Since the second branch 212 is coupled to the circuit end 130, it replaces the original safety circuit 100, ensuring that the circuit end 130 maintains a safety signal output, allowing the elevator to operate normally for the "speed governor-safety gear linkage test".

[0066] The "speed governor-safety gear linkage test" begins, with the elevator running at overspeed. The detection circuit 300 checks whether the speed governor switch 103 and the safety gear switch 104 operate as expected, i.e., whether the speed governor switch 103 opens first, followed by the safety gear switch 104, and then the safety gear mechanical structure is triggered. If this process is not followed, it indicates a fault in the electrical conduction process and a failure in the double safety mechanism. Maintenance personnel should then inspect the circuit.

[0067] This embodiment designs a speed limiter safety gear electrical switch testing device to independently test the two electrical switches, speed limiter switch 103 and safety gear switch 104, thereby determining whether the speed limiter and safety gear electrical switches are truly functioning and reducing safety risks.

[0068] See Figure 2 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, the safety branch 200 includes a maintenance switch 400 coupled between the first power supply 101 and the test switch 210.

[0069] The maintenance switch 400 has a first position and a second position. In the first position, pin 1 of the maintenance switch 400 (S2) is closed, and the maintenance switch 400 supplies power to the test switch 210. In the second position, pin 2 of the maintenance switch 400 (S2) is closed, the test switch 210 is de-energized, the detection switch is activated, the first temporary power supply 410 is turned on, the first switch 110 and the second switch 120 are closed under the action of the first temporary power supply 410, and the circuit end 130 maintains the output of a safety signal.

[0070] Furthermore, the speed governor safety gear electrical switch detection device includes an auxiliary branch, which comprises: a first normally open switch 510 coupled in sequence, a second temporary power supply 530 to be activated by linkage, and a second normally open switch 520 connected in parallel to the first normally open switch 510. The second temporary power supply 530 is configured to control the closing of the first switch 110 and the second switch 120 when energized. The auxiliary branch includes a 24V power supply for the first normally open switch 510 and the second normally open switch 520.

[0071] When the first normally open switch 510 is closed, the second temporary power supply 530 is activated in conjunction with it. The first normally open switch 510 is configured to close when the first branch 211 is energized and open when it is de-energized.

[0072] When the second normally open switch 520 is closed, it activates the second temporary power supply 530. The second normally open switch 520 is configured to close when the first temporary power supply 410 is energized and open when it is de-energized. It can be understood that when the maintenance switch 400 is in its second position, it does not meet the prerequisites for performing the "speed limiter-safety gear linkage test." In other words, the maintenance switch 400 essentially provides two operating modes.

[0073] The first operating mode: With the maintenance switch 400 in the first position, the first auxiliary power supply is not activated, and the second normally open switch 520 remains open. The first normally open switch 510 is controlled by the first branch 211, specifically by the power supply coil INS of the first branch 211. When the power supply coil INS is energized, the first normally open switch 510 closes, and the second auxiliary power supply is activated in conjunction with the closed first normally open switch 510. The second auxiliary power supply then controls the first switch 110 and the second switch 120 to close. This is one way to implement the technical solution of "when the first branch 211 is energized, both the first switch 110 and the second switch 120 are turned on, and vice versa."

[0074] The second operating mode: When the maintenance switch 400 is in the second position, the first branch 211 cannot be energized through the test switch 210; specifically, the power supply coil INS cannot be energized through the first branch 211. Simultaneously, the first auxiliary power supply is activated by the conduction of the maintenance switch 400, and the second normally open switch 520 is closed under the control of the first auxiliary power supply. The second normally open switch 520 then activates the second auxiliary power supply, which directly acts on the first switch 110 and the second switch 120, maintaining the closure of both switches and ensuring the normal output of the safety circuit 100 signal.

[0075] Therefore, it can be seen that under the second working mode provided by the maintenance switch 400, the series of solutions of the speed governor safety gear electrical switch detection device have not been affected, and the elevator can be maintained normally.

[0076] In some embodiments, the detection circuit 300 includes different conduction branches that detect the conduction states of the speed limiter switch 103 and the safety brake switch 104, respectively.

[0077] See Figure 4 and Figure 5 In some embodiments, the detection circuit 300 includes a first detection circuit 310 and a second detection circuit 320.

[0078] See Figure 4The first detection circuit 310 includes the following components connected in series: speed limiter switch 103, first detector 301, first normally closed switch 311, second normally closed switch 312, fifth normally closed switch 315, and sixth normally closed switch 316. The first normally closed switch 311 and the second normally closed switch 312 are located at both ends of the speed limiter switch 103, and the fifth normally closed switch 315 and the sixth normally closed switch 316 are located at both ends of the speed limiter switch 103.

[0079] See Figure 4 The second detection circuit 320 includes the following components connected in series: safety gear switch 104, second detector 302, third normally closed switch 323, fourth normally closed switch 324, seventh normally closed switch 327, and eighth normally closed switch 328. The third normally closed switch 323 and the fourth normally closed switch 324 are located at both ends of the safety gear switch 104, and the seventh normally closed switch 327 and the eighth normally closed switch 328 are located at both ends of the safety gear switch 104.

[0080] The first normally closed switch 311, the second normally closed switch 312, the third normally closed switch 323 and the fourth normally closed switch 324 are configured to open when the first branch 211 is energized (when the second temporary power supply 530 is energized), and close when the first branch 211 is de-energized.

[0081] The fifth normally closed switch 315, the sixth normally closed switch 316, the seventh normally closed switch 327 and the eighth normally closed switch 328 are configured to be open when the first temporary power supply 410 is energized, and closed when the first temporary power supply 410 is de-energized.

[0082] The detection circuit 300 provided in this embodiment does not require additional switching equipment. Specifically:

[0083] When the maintenance switch 400 is in the first position, it supplies power to the test switch 210. If the first branch 211 is closed, the first normally closed switch 311, the second normally closed switch 312, the third normally closed switch 323, and the fourth normally closed switch 324 are all open, preventing current from the detection circuit 300 from entering the speed limiter switch 103 and the safety gear switch 104, thus causing no impact. If the second branch 212 is closed, the "speed limiter-safety gear linkage test" is prepared, and as mentioned above, the "speed limiter switch 103 and safety gear switch 104 connected in series" are completely disconnected from the safety circuit 100. If the first branch 211 is de-energized, the first normally closed switch 311, the second normally closed switch 312, the third normally closed switch 323, and the fourth normally closed switch 324 are all closed, allowing the "speed limiter-safety gear linkage test" to proceed normally.

[0084] When the maintenance switch 400 is in the second position, the first branch 211 is de-energized, and the first auxiliary power supply is energized. The second normally closed switch 312, the third normally closed switch 323, and the fourth normally closed switch 324 are all closed. Since the fifth normally closed switch 315, the sixth normally closed switch 316, the seventh normally closed switch 327, and the eighth normally closed switch 328 are all normally closed, the first auxiliary power supply switches them to the open state after being energized. Therefore, the current from the detection circuit 300 cannot enter the speed limiter switch 103 and the safety brake switch 104, causing no impact.

[0085] See Figure 6 In some embodiments, the first detection circuit 310 and the second detection circuit 320 share the same test power supply 303 (e.g., 24V), the first normally closed switch 311 and the third normally closed switch 323 are the same normally closed switch coupled to the test power supply 303, and the fifth normally closed switch 315 and the seventh normally closed switch 327 are the same normally closed switch coupled to the test power supply 303.

[0086] See Figures 4-6 The circuit diagram further details the working process of each embodiment of this application: First, under normal conditions, the INS coil is energized, the normally open contact of INS-NO in the auxiliary branch is closed, coil E is energized, E-NO1 and E-NO2 are in the closed state, and safety circuit 100 is conductive. The detection circuit is disconnected and no detection is performed. Second, during elevator testing, when entering emergency electric mode, INS is de-energized, E-NO1 and E-NO2 are disconnected, and the detection mode is entered. Indicator lights 1 (LEDA) and 2 (LEDB) are lit. At this time, the switch is in the normal state. During the speed limiter safety clamp linkage test:

[0087] (1) Indicator lights 1 and 2 change from always on to always off due to the state change of the switch, thus confirming that the switches are effective.

[0088] (2) If indicator light 1 is on and indicator light 2 is off, it means that speed limiter switch 103 is malfunctioning.

[0089] (3) If indicator light 1 is off and indicator light 2 is on, it means that safety clamp switch 104 is malfunctioning.

[0090] (4) If both indicator lights 1 and indicator lights 2 are on, then there is a problem with both switches.

[0091] The designs of the various embodiments of this application can directly determine the switch status during testing, improving efficiency and safety. When the elevator maintenance switch 400 is switched to the second position and the elevator is in maintenance mode, the detection circuit will not affect the normal maintenance operation of the elevator. At this time, the TCI coil is energized, the normally open contact of TCI-NO in the auxiliary branch is closed, the coil E is energized, the safety circuit 100 returns to normal, and the detection circuit is disconnected. The detection mode of "speed limiter-safety clamp linkage test" is exited.

[0092] The technical features of the embodiments described above can be combined arbitrarily. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described.
