[0017] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0018] Please see Figure 1-4This utility model provides a technical solution: an elevator anti-fall counterweight device, including a counterweight device body 1, with upper beam plates 11 symmetrically arranged on the counterweight device body 1, and counterweight wheels 5 with wheel grooves installed between the upper beam plates 11. Counterweight frames 12 are respectively connected to both sides of the upper beam plates 11, and counterweight guide rails 14 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the counterweight device body 1. Oil cups 3 are respectively installed on the upper ends of the counterweight frames 12, and counterweight guide shoes 4 are fixed to the outer side of the counterweight frames 12 by bolts. The counterweight guide shoes 4 engage with the counterweight guide rails 14. This structure allows the counterweight device body 1 to move and engage with the counterweight guide rails 14 through the counterweight guide shoes 4, realizing the anti-fall counterweight device body 1's... The movement is limited, and the counterweight guide rail 14 ensures that the main body 1 of the counterweight device moves smoothly and safely up and down in the well. The oil cup 3 lubricates the movement between the counterweight guide shoe 4 and the counterweight guide rail 14, and also reduces friction, cools, and protects parts from corrosion. Counterweight blocks 13 are provided between the counterweight frames 12. Wheel covers 2 are fixed at the upper ends between the upper beam plates 11, and side ropes 6 are symmetrically connected between the upper beam plates 11. Lower ropes 10 are also provided at the lower ends between the upper beam plates 11. The wheel covers 2, side ropes 6, and lower ropes 10 are all U-shaped bent structures. The width of the wheel cover 2 is smaller than the diameter of the wheel groove of the counterweight wheel 5. The bottom surfaces of the U-shaped structures of the guide rope 6 and the lower guide rope 10 are fitted with the counterweight wheel 5 with clearance. This structure of the wheel cover 2 can effectively cover the area above the counterweight wheel 5, preventing debris from falling into the groove of the counterweight wheel 5 and causing the wire rope to jump out of the groove, thus ensuring the safe operation of the main body 1 of the counterweight device. The wheel cover 2, the side guide rope 6, and the lower guide rope 10 all have elongated holes on both sides of their U-shaped structures, and these holes are bolted to the upper beam plate 11. This structure allows the clearance between the bottom surfaces of the U-shaped structures of the wheel cover 2, the side guide rope 6, and the lower guide rope 10 and the counterweight wheel 5 to be adjustable, thereby preventing the movement of the wire rope from being obstructed. A counterweight wheel runs through the inside of the counterweight wheel 5. The counterweight wheel axle 8 has axle retaining plates 7 and axle end baffles 9 at both ends. The axle retaining plates 7 are engaged with the upper end of the counterweight wheel axle 8, and the inner side of the axle retaining plates 7 and the axle end baffles 9 are fastened together. This structure allows the axle retaining plates 7 to be further positioned and stabilized by the axle end baffles 9, ensuring that the counterweight wheel axle 8 is not easily rotated. The counterweight wheel axle 8 has holes and taps at both ends, and the counterweight wheel axle 8 and the axle end baffles 9 are fixed by bolts. This structure fixes the end of the counterweight wheel axle 8 by the axle end baffles 9, which can ensure a stable connection between the counterweight wheel axle 8 and the upper beam plate 11, so that the counterweight wheel 5 can run reliably, while preventing the counterweight wheel axle 8 from falling off.

[0019] Working principle: When using this elevator anti-fall counterweight device, the main body 1 of the counterweight device first operates by limiting the movement of the counterweight guide shoe 4 and the counterweight guide rail 14. The oil cup 3 serves as a lubricant. The counterweight block 13 is fixed below the upper beam plate 11 by the counterweight frame 12. The U-shaped wheel cover 2, the side rope 6, and the upper beam plate 11 are fixed together by bolts to limit and protect the wire rope on the counterweight wheel 5. At the same time, it enhances the structural strength of the upper beam plate 11, preventing the wire rope from jumping out of the groove and preventing the upper beam plate 11 from being severely deformed when jumping out of the groove. The wheel cover 2 can also prevent debris from falling into the groove of the counterweight wheel 5 and causing jumping out of the groove. The shaft clamping plate 7 performs anti-rotation positioning treatment for the counterweight wheel shaft 8, and the shaft end baffle 9 simultaneously limits and tightens the shaft clamping plate 7 and the counterweight wheel shaft 8 to prevent the shaft clamping plate 7 from breaking and detaching from the upper beam plate 11, and also to prevent the counterweight wheel shaft 8 from falling off. This achieves multiple anti-fall protection for the main body 1 of the counterweight device, thus completing a series of operations.

[0020] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
