Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of elevator maintenance technology, and more specifically, to a rope cleaning device for elevator maintenance. Background Technology

[0002] Elevator maintenance is a crucial aspect of ensuring the safe and stable operation of elevators, involving regular inspections, upkeep, repairs, and replacement of worn parts. An existing automatic cleaning brush for elevator wire ropes, with publication number CN203079474U, includes one or more pairs of opposing arc-shaped brushes. The back of each pair of arc-shaped brushes is embedded in two brush clamps, which are fixed by bolts. Each pair of arc-shaped brushes forms a ring facing each other, with both ends protruding from the upper and lower surfaces of the two brush clamps. The protruding portions are each equipped with a slot, and corresponding retaining rings are provided in these slots. The elevator wire rope is wrapped within the opposing rings of the arc-shaped brushes. This device enables continuous cleaning of the elevator wire rope with excellent cleaning results, ensuring safe and reliable elevator operation. It also reduces manual labor and the frequency and time spent on elevator maintenance, thereby reducing maintenance costs.

[0003] However, in this structure, the spacing between the opposing loops is fixed. Since elevators from different manufacturers may have different rope spacing during installation, the brush rings may not be able to effectively contact the surface of all elevator ropes during cleaning, resulting in some ropes not being thoroughly cleaned. This not only affects the elevator's appearance and hygiene but may also impact the ropes' lifespan and the elevator's operational safety. Utility Model Content

[0004] The main objective of this invention is to provide a rope cleaning device for elevator maintenance. This device effectively solves the problem in the prior art where the spacing between opposing loops is fixed. Furthermore, the spacing between ropes may vary between different manufacturers' elevators, causing the brush rings to potentially fail to effectively contact the surface of all rope specifications during cleaning, resulting in some ropes not being adequately cleaned. This not only affects the elevator's appearance and hygiene but may also impact the rope's lifespan and the elevator's operational safety.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0006] A rope cleaning device for elevator maintenance includes two mounting frames. Two positioning rods are fixedly installed between the two inner walls of the two mounting frames. Several moving mechanisms are slidably arranged on the bodies of adjacent positioning rods. An arc-shaped groove is opened on the opposite side surface of each adjacent moving mechanism, and an arc-shaped brush plate is fixedly installed in each arc-shaped groove.

[0007] Preferably, the moving mechanism includes two moving plates, each of which has a groove on its opposite side surface. Each moving plate is slidably connected to a corresponding positioning rod through the groove, and each arc-shaped groove is opened on one side of the corresponding moving plate.

[0008] Each of the upper movable plates has a first mounting groove through its upper surface, and each of the lower movable plates has a second mounting groove. Two mounting rods are fixedly installed between the two sides of the inner wall of each first mounting groove. Mounting plates are slidably mounted on both sides of the adjacent mounting rods. Trapezoidal plates are fixedly installed on both sides of each mounting plate.

[0009] An arc-shaped block is fixedly installed on both sides of the inner wall of each of the second mounting slots.

[0010] Preferably, each of the mounting rods is fitted with an elastic element capable of compression and resetting in the middle of its body.

[0011] Preferably, the elastic element is a spring.

[0012] Preferably, one of the mounting brackets has a support plate fixedly installed on both sides, and the two support plates are threaded with a second bolt on the side away from each other. The other mounting bracket has threaded holes on both sides, and the two second bolts are threadedly connected to the corresponding threaded holes.

[0013] Preferably, a connecting plate is fixedly installed on the upper surface of each of the moving mechanisms, and a first bolt is threaded onto one side of the upper surface of each connecting plate.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] (1) Before installing the mounting frame, the staff controls the moving mechanism to move along the positioning rod direction, so that the staff can adjust the position of each moving mechanism according to the rope spacing, so that the brush ring can effectively contact the surface of all specifications of elevator ropes, thereby ensuring that each rope can be thoroughly cleaned, avoiding affecting the appearance and hygiene of the elevator, extending the service life of the ropes, and ensuring the safe operation of the elevator.

[0023] The technical solutions of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the embodiments of this utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0024] like Figures 1-6 As shown, a rope cleaning device for elevator maintenance includes two mounting brackets 1. Two positioning rods 2 are fixedly installed between the two sides of the inner wall of the two mounting brackets 1. Several moving mechanisms 3 are slidably arranged on the body of adjacent positioning rods 2. An arc-shaped groove 4 is opened on the opposite side surface of adjacent moving mechanisms 3. An arc-shaped brush plate 5 is fixedly installed in each arc-shaped groove 4.

[0025] The workers install two mounting brackets 1, allowing the ropes to pass through the brush rings formed by adjacent arc-shaped brush plates 5. This enables the brush rings to clean the ropes. Before installing the mounting brackets 1, the workers control the moving mechanism 3 to move along the positioning rod 2. This allows the workers to adjust the position of each moving mechanism 3 according to the rope spacing, ensuring that the brush rings can effectively contact the surface of elevator ropes of all specifications. This ensures that each rope is thoroughly cleaned, preventing any impact on the elevator's appearance and hygiene, extending the rope's service life, and guaranteeing the elevator's safe operation.

[0026] In another embodiment of the present invention, the moving mechanism 3 includes two moving plates 301. Each moving plate 301 has a sliding groove 302 on its opposite side surface. Each moving plate 301 is slidably connected to the corresponding positioning rod 2 through the sliding groove 302. Each arc-shaped groove 4 is opened on one side of the corresponding moving plate 301.

[0027] Each upper movable plate 301 has a first mounting groove 303 through its upper surface, and each lower movable plate 301 has a second mounting groove 304 through its upper surface. Two mounting rods 305 are fixedly installed between the two sides of the inner wall of each first mounting groove 303. Mounting plates 306 are slidably mounted on both sides of the adjacent mounting rods 305. Trapezoidal plates 307 are fixedly installed on both sides of each mounting plate 306.

[0028] Each second mounting slot 304 has an arc-shaped block 308 fixedly installed on both sides of its inner wall.

[0029] Each mounting rod 305 has a compressible and repositionable elastic element 8 fitted in the middle of its shaft.

[0030] The elastic element 8 is a spring.

[0031] By pushing the mounting plate 306, the spring is compressed, and the trapezoidal plate 307 disengages from the lower surface of the corresponding arc block 308, allowing the worker to disassemble the adjacent movable plates 301. When assembling the adjacent movable plates 301, the worker inserts the trapezoidal plate 307 into the corresponding second mounting groove 304. Subsequently, the inclined surface of the trapezoidal plate 307 is pushed by the arc surface of the arc block 308, the spring is compressed, and the mounting plate 306 moves along the mounting rod 305. After the trapezoidal plate 307 moves to below the corresponding arc block 308, the spring returns to its original position, and the trapezoidal plate 307 is inserted into the gap between the arc block 308 and the bottom of the second mounting groove 304, thus completing the installation of the adjacent movable plates 301. This allows the worker to adjust the number of movable plates 301 according to the number of ropes.

[0032] In another embodiment of the present invention, one of the mounting brackets 1 has a support plate 9 fixedly installed on both sides, and the two support plates 9 are threaded with a second bolt 10 on the side away from each other. The other mounting bracket 1 has threaded holes 11 on both sides, and the two second bolts 10 are threadedly connected to the corresponding threaded holes 11 respectively.

[0033] Workers can quickly assemble and disassemble the two mounting brackets 1 by quickly disassembling and assembling the second bolt 10.

[0034] In another embodiment of this utility model, a connecting plate 6 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of each moving mechanism 3, and a first bolt 7 is threaded on one side of the upper surface of each connecting plate 6.

[0035] Workers tighten the first bolt 7 to make its bottom press against the mounting bracket 1, thereby limiting the position of the moving mechanism 3, preventing the brush ring from shifting when cleaning the rope, and improving the stability of the cleaning work.

[0036] The working principle of this elevator maintenance rope cleaning device:

[0037] During use, the staff installs the two mounting brackets 1, allowing the rope to pass through the brush rings formed by adjacent arc-shaped brush plates 5. This allows the brush rings to clean the ropes. Before installing the mounting brackets 1, the staff controls the moving mechanism 3 to move along the positioning rod 2, allowing the staff to adjust the position of each moving mechanism 3 according to the rope spacing. This ensures that the brush rings can effectively contact the surface of elevator ropes of all specifications, thus ensuring that each rope is thoroughly cleaned. This avoids affecting the appearance and hygiene of the elevator, extends the service life of the ropes, and guarantees the safe operation of the elevator.

[0038] Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating this utility model, and are not intended to limit the implementation of this utility model. For those skilled in the art, other variations or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is impossible to exhaustively list all the implementation methods here. Any obvious variations or modifications derived from the technical solutions of this utility model are still within the protection scope of this utility model.
