Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of elevator rope winding technology, and relates to a rope winding structure for an elevator with a winding ratio of 4:1. Background Technology

[0002] An elevator is a vertical lifting machine powered by an electric motor, equipped with a box-shaped cabin, used for transporting people or goods in multi-story buildings. A typical elevator structure uses a 4:1 winding ratio, with the main engine usually located in the machine room and the car top wheels arranged horizontally. However, due to diverse customer needs, many require long and slender cars. Since the shaft load of the main engine has a significant impact on its cost and is inconvenient to construct, using a 2:1 or 1:1 structure would drastically increase the cost of the main engine.

[0003] Therefore, the existing rope winding structure of the 4:1 elevator was improved, and a new rope winding structure of the 4:1 elevator was designed to overcome the above problems. Utility Model Content

The upper car frame beam is connected to both ends of the lower car frame beam via connecting straight beams at both ends. The two ends of the lower car frame beam are connected to both ends of the bottom car frame lower beam via car frame straight beams. An upper car top pulley is installed between the upper car frame beam and the lower car frame beam at the center position directly below it. A lower car top pulley is installed at the center position directly below the lower car frame beam. The wire rope passes through the guide pulley, the lower car top pulley, the car anti-rope pulley, and the upper car top pulley in sequence and is then fixed to the elevator shaft wall via the car rope head plate.

[0008] Preferably, the diameter of the lower car top pulley is larger than that of the upper car top pulley, and the diameter of the car anti-rope pulley is between that of the lower car top pulley and the upper car top pulley, so as to ensure that the wire rope passing through the upper car top pulley and the lower car top pulley is vertical and does not interfere.

[0009] Preferably, the height of the car rope head plate is flush with the top height of the counterweight reverse rope sheave, and the height of the counterweight rope head plate is higher than the height of the car rope head plate but lower than the height of the main unit.
