Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of safety clamp technology, and in particular to a safety clamp triggering structure for elevators. Background Technology

[0002] The safety clamp is a safety protection device for elevator installation platforms. A safety clamp device is a safety device that brakes the elevator installation platform and clamps it onto the guide rails in the event of exceeding the speed limit set by the speed governor, or in the event of a breakage or slack in the working wire rope. Its function is to protect the safe operation of the elevator, and it is generally installed on a load cell parallel to the guide rails. Elevator installation platforms typically use progressive safety clamps. The safety clamp device consists of two parts: a safety clamp triggering mechanism and a safety clamp body. When the safety clamp mechanism actuates, the triggering mechanism activates the safety clamp wedge to lock onto the guide rails, causing the platform to brake and stop on the guide rails.

[0003] Currently, elevator platform safety brakes have some drawbacks in use. For example, most existing safety brakes rely on sudden, overspeed drops to automatically lock the guide rails for braking, and cannot be triggered or released manually by the operator. Therefore, we propose a safety brake triggering structure for elevators. Utility Model Content

A horizontal beam is connected to the middle section of the bottom of the safety platform. An upper guide wheel assembly is connected to the bottom of the horizontal beam. A clearance opening is provided in the center of the bottom wall of the safety platform. A movable plate passes through the clearance opening. A safety lock fixing plate is connected to the top left side of the movable plate. A safety lock is connected to the top of the safety lock fixing plate. An electrical control box is connected to the outer wall of the safety lock. A handle is installed on the top right side of the movable plate.

[0007] Preferably, in a safety clamp triggering structure for an elevator, a progressive safety clamp is installed on the outer wall of the vertical beam, a tension spring is connected between the bottom of the progressive safety clamp and the vertical beam, a safety clamp pull plate is connected to the free end of the progressive safety clamp, a short steel wire rope is connected to the upper end of the safety clamp pull plate, and the short steel wire rope is wound around to the inner wall of the vertical beam through a guide wheel.

[0008] Preferably, in a safety clamp triggering structure for an elevator, a limit plate and a return spring are connected to the inner wall of the vertical beam, a counterweight is connected to the end of the return spring, and the end of the short steel wire rope passes through the limit plate, the return spring and the counterweight in sequence. A fastening bolt is fixed between the counterweight and the short steel wire rope.

[0009] Preferably, in a safety clamp triggering structure for an elevator, each of the vertical beams has a long groove, and a bushing is slidably installed in the long groove, with the bushing being fixedly connected to a counterweight.

[0010] Preferably, in a safety clamp triggering structure for an elevator, a rope buckle is connected to the outer wall of the handle, a long steel wire rope passes through the rope buckle, the long steel wire rope passes through the gap of the upper guide wheel assembly, and two sets of short steel wire ropes are respectively fixed at both ends of the long steel wire rope by steel wire rope clamps.

[0011] Preferably, in a safety clamp triggering structure for an elevator, limit blocks are installed on both sides of the outer wall of the right side of the moving plate, the handle is located between the two limit blocks, and the moving plate has a built-in trigger spring.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

A safety lock 8 is connected to the top of the safety lock fixing plate 7. An electrical control box 10 is connected to the outer wall of the safety lock 8. A handle 9 is installed on the top right side of the movable plate 6.

[0024] A progressive safety clamp 11 is installed on the outer wall of the vertical beam 2. A tension spring 12 is connected between the bottom of the progressive safety clamp 11 and the vertical beam 2. A safety clamp pull plate 13 is connected to the free end of the progressive safety clamp 11. A short steel wire rope 14 is connected to the upper end of the safety clamp pull plate 13. The short steel wire rope 14 is wound around to the inner wall of the vertical beam 2 through the guide wheel 15.

[0025] The inner wall of the vertical beam 2 is connected to a limit plate 16 and a return spring 17. The end of the return spring 17 is connected to a counterweight 18. The end of the short steel wire rope 14 passes through the limit plate 16, the return spring 17 and the counterweight 18 in sequence. A fastening bolt 19 is fixed between the counterweight 18 and the short steel wire rope 14.

[0026] Each vertical beam 2 has a long groove 20, and a bushing 21 is slidably installed in the long groove 20. The bushing 21 is fixedly connected to the counterweight 18. By using the design of the long groove 20 and the bushing 21, the movement trajectory of the counterweight 18 is fixed in the up-and-down movement state.

[0027] The outer wall of the handle 9 is connected to a rope buckle 22, and a long steel wire rope 23 passes through the rope buckle 22. The long steel wire rope 23 passes through the gap of the upper guide wheel assembly 4, and the two ends of the long steel wire rope 23 are respectively fixed with two sets of short steel wire ropes 14 by steel wire rope clamps 24.

[0028] Limiting blocks 25 are installed on both sides of the outer wall of the right side of the movable plate 6. The handle 9 is located between the two limiting blocks 25 and can be constrained by the left and right limiting blocks 25 to rotate. The movable plate 6 has a built-in trigger spring 26.

[0029] The specific implementation method of this utility model is as follows:

[0030] In this utility model, the safety clamp triggering structure is formed by a combination of a progressive safety clamp 11, an automatic triggering mode, and a manual triggering mode.

When the progressive safety clamp 11 locks onto the guide rail, the safety platform 1 brakes and stops on the guide rail. In the manual trigger mode, the handle 9 is used to control the tension of the long steel wire rope 23, thereby controlling the triggering and unlocking of the progressive safety clamp 11. The operator can trigger or open it by himself, which makes the safety performance more comprehensive.
