[0017] The specific embodiment of the utility model is further explained below in combination with the drawings.
[0018] As Figures 1-4 shown, a novel elevator light curtain comprises a car 1 and a light curtain assembly installed on the car 1, the light curtain assembly comprises a U-shaped frame 2, the inner side of the frame 2 is provided with a groove, the lower end of the frame 2 is provided with a side plate 3 on each side, the inner side of one side of the groove is provided with a transmitting end one 4, the inner side of the other side of the groove is provided with a receiving end one 5 matched with the transmitting end one 4, the inner side of the upper end of the groove is provided with a receiving end two 6, the lower end of the frame 2 and between the two side plates 3 is provided with a colorless transparent sleeve 7 with open ends, the sleeve 7 and the frame 2 are connected through a bearing 8, the outer surface of one end of the sleeve 7 is provided with a gear ring 9, further comprising a motor 10, the output end of the motor 10 is provided with a gear 11 engaged with the outer surface of the gear ring 9, and the inner side of the sleeve 7 is provided with a transmitting end two 12.
[0019] The car 1 is not a solid structure, but is processed by welding and bolt connection of a steel plate and a metal support, when the car 1 is processed, a mounting groove for installing the light curtain assembly is needed, in the embodiment, the light curtain assembly for preventing clamping is installed on the car 1 instead of the traditional elevator door, the distance between the light curtain assembly installed on the traditional elevator door and the light curtain assembly installed on the car 1 is less than 5 cm, so as to reduce the influence of the change of the installation position of the light curtain assembly on the user.
[0020] The transmitter one 4 and the transmitter two 12 are infrared transmitters, and the receiver one 5 and the receiver two 6 are infrared receivers. Under normal circumstances, whether the transmitter one 4 and the receiver one 5 are blocked or the transmitter two 12 and the receiver two 6 are blocked, the elevator door will not be closed when the infrared signal is blocked before the elevator door is completely closed, and the elevator door will be changed from the closed state to the open state during the closing process to highlight the anti-pinch effect.
[0021] When two people carry the transparent glass into the car 1 one after another, the glass is generally in a vertical state or at an angle, and the angle is generally less than 15°. Since the infrared light emitted by the transmitter one 4 can normally penetrate the glass and be received by the receiver one 5, the elevator door will still be automatically closed after being opened for a certain time even if the glass does not pass through the elevator door, which exists a great safety hazard. The infrared light emitted by the transmitter two 12 located below can be blocked by the side edge of the glass, so that the receiver two 6 located above cannot completely receive the infrared light emitted by the transmitter two 12, that is, the side edge of the glass blocks part of the infrared light emitted by the transmitter two 12, indicating that an object is entering the car 1. At this time, the elevator door will not be closed until the side edge of the glass does not block the infrared light emitted by the transmitter two 12, which means that the glass has completely entered the car 1, and the elevator door can be normally closed.
[0022] At the same time, the inner bottom surface of the car 1 is flush with the upper surface of the side plate 3, and the upper side of the sleeve 7 is lower than the upper surface of the side plate 3. When entering or exiting the elevator, the shoes will not directly step on the sleeve 7, which is conducive to keeping the surface of the sleeve 7 clean. At the same time, when it rains, some rainwater will be carried on the shoes, which will drop on the surface of the sleeve 7, causing dirt on the surface of the sleeve 7. However, since the sleeve 7 is cylindrical, the rainwater will flow to both sides of the sleeve 7, and the installation groove in the car 1 is through, so the rainwater can directly drop out and will not accumulate in the installation groove in the car 1. At the same time, the motor 10 can be started to drive the gear 11 to rotate, and the gear 11 drives the sleeve 7 to rotate through the transmission of the gear 11 and the gear ring 9. When the sleeve 7 rotates, it is difficult for rainwater to adhere to the surface of the sleeve 7, so that the infrared light emitted by the transmitter two 12 can be received by the receiver two 6. At the same time, when the sleeve 7 rotates, the person in charge of cleaning can wipe the surface of the sleeve 7 with a flexible face to keep the surface of the sleeve 7 clean and also to remove the dust on the surface of the sleeve 7.
[0023] The sleeve 7 only rotates when the elevator door is opened and not completely closed. When the elevator door is completely closed, the sleeve 7 stops rotating.
[0024] The second emission end 12 is directly fixed on the car 1, and the sleeve 7 is sleeved outside the second emission end 12, the position of the second emission end 12 is fixed after being installed, and the sleeve 7 is used for protecting the second emission end 12.
[0025] Further, the two sides and the top side of the groove are provided with protection plates 13, the protection plates 13 are made of colorless and transparent materials, the first emission end 4, the first receiving end 5 and the second receiving end 6 in the groove are protected through the protection plates 13, and hard objects are prevented from directly bumping the above-mentioned components.
[0026] Further, the protection plates 13 and the sleeve 7 are made of modified cyclic olefin copolymer, the modified cyclic olefin copolymer has excellent ultraviolet resistance and moisture resistance, is not easy to age, yellow or become brittle due to long-term exposure, has a relatively low refractive index of about 1.53, and infrared light vertically passes through the sleeve 7, so that the second receiving end 6 can accurately and effectively receive the signal of infrared light emitted by the second emission end 12.
[0027] Further, there is a gap between the sleeve 7 and the side plate 3, impurities are prevented from being accumulated between the sleeve 7 and the side plate 3, the impurities can fall out through the gap between the sleeve 7 and the side plate 3, and when larger impurities fall between the sleeve 7 and the side plate 3, a person in charge of cleaning can suck out the impurities through a dust collector or the like.
[0028] In the description of the utility model, unless another definite provision and limitation, the term "installation", "connection", "connect" should be broad sense understanding, for example, can be fixed connection, also can be detachable connection, or integrally connected, can be mechanical connection, also can be electrical connection, can be directly connected, also can be indirectly connected through intermediate medium, can be two element inside communication. For ordinary skilled in the art, the above-mentioned terms can be understood according to the specific meaning of the utility model.
