Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of elevator car locking technology, specifically an elevator car locking device. Background Technology
[0002] With the rapid development of elevator technology, skyscrapers are becoming increasingly taller, and consequently, elevators are playing an increasingly indispensable role in our daily lives. An elevator is a permanent transportation device that serves several specific floors within a building, with its car running on at least two rigid guide rails perpendicular to the horizontal plane or at an angle of inclination less than 15° to the vertical. A vertical elevator has a car that runs between at least two rigid guide rails, either vertical or at an angle of inclination less than 15°. In the event of a dangerous rapid descent, a locking device is required to stop the elevator.
[0003] In existing technologies, such as the elevator car locking device disclosed in CN220811532U, a mounting plate is included. A first motor is mounted on one side of the top of the mounting plate via a mounting base, and a winding wheel is fixedly installed on the top of the mounting plate. By moving the assist plate to one side, the locking block, being double-trapezoidal, can move along the surface of the fixed block until it leaves the slot. After the fixing effect between the fixed block and the connecting block is canceled, the resistance plate can be easily removed, facilitating maintenance and replacement of the resistance plate. This ensures the stability of the resistance plate's resistance effect, thereby maintaining the overall stability of the equipment. Furthermore, the operation is simple, allowing workers to quickly and easily replace the resistance plate themselves, improving maintenance efficiency.
[0004] Existing locking devices allow the locking block to move along the surface of the fixed block by moving the assist plate to one side until the locking block leaves the slot. After the fixing effect between the fixed block and the connecting block is removed, the resistance plate can be easily removed, facilitating maintenance and replacement. However, most locking devices are inconvenient to adjust during use, and after long-term use, the locking mechanism wears down significantly, resulting in a loss of locking effectiveness. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this section is to outline some aspects of embodiments of the present invention and to briefly describe some preferred embodiments. Simplifications or omissions may be made in this section, as well as in the abstract and title of this application, to avoid obscuring the purpose of these documents; however, such simplifications or omissions should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention.
[0006] Given that most of the locking devices mentioned above or in the prior art are inconvenient to adjust during use, and that after prolonged use the locking mechanism wears out significantly, the locking effect cannot be guaranteed.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0008] An elevator car locking device includes a device base, a locking frame mounted on the upper surface of the device base, a locking mechanism for locking the car on one side of the locking frame, a driving mechanism for driving the car on the side wall of the locking frame, and a quick-release mechanism for replacing the locking mechanism on one side of the driving mechanism.
[0009] The locking mechanism includes an electromagnet, which is fixed to one side of the locking frame. Both ends of the electromagnet are connected to a fixing block. A connecting rod passes through the inside of the fixing block. A first nut is threaded onto the outer surface of the connecting rod. A compression spring sleeved on the connecting rod is abutted against the side wall of the fixing block.
[0010] As a further improvement of this utility model: both ends of the electromagnet are threaded with a second nut, and a Hall sensor is fixed on the lower surface of the electromagnet.
[0011] As a further improvement of this utility model, a movable part is fixed to the lower surface of the fixed block.
[0012] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the driving mechanism includes a fixed wheel, which is mounted on the side wall of the locking frame, and a steel rope wheel is fixed to one side of the fixed wheel by bolts.
[0013] As a further improvement of this utility model: a speed reducer is connected to the other side of the fixed wheel, and a drive motor is fixed to the input end of the speed reducer.
[0014] As a further improvement of this utility model, the locking frame is equipped with fixing bolts that are threadedly connected to the device base.
[0015] As a further improvement of this utility model: the quick-release mechanism includes a mounting groove, which is formed inside the movable part, and a friction block is installed inside the mounting groove.
[0016] As a further embodiment of this utility model: a fixing screw that is threadedly connected to the friction block is installed on one side of the movable part, and a rotating shaft that is fixedly connected to the locking frame is rotatably connected to the lower end of the movable part.
[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0018] 1. This utility model uses a Hall sensor installed on an electromagnet to utilize the Hall effect and installs multiple magnets on a fixed wheel to monitor the elevator's running speed in real time.
[0019] 2. This utility model stops the electromagnet on the locking frame from being energized, causing the fixed block to lose its outward pushing force. Under the action of the compression spring, the fixed block will be pushed inward. Under the action of the rotating shaft, the friction block inside the moving part will contact the outer surface of the fixed wheel, fixing and locking the fixed wheel, thereby locking the car.
[0020] 3. This utility model uses a first nut on the connecting rod. By turning the first nut, the tension of the compression spring can be adjusted, thereby ensuring the locking effect on the fixed wheel.
[0021] 4. By unscrewing the fixing screws on the fixing block, the friction block can be released from its fixation, and with the cooperation of the mounting groove, the friction block can be disassembled. Attached Figure Description

[0028] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more readily understood, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0029] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Those skilled in the art can make similar extensions without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.
[0030] Secondly, the term "an embodiment" or "embodiment" as used herein refers to a specific feature, structure, or characteristic that may be included in at least one implementation of the present invention. The phrase "in one embodiment" appearing in different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a single embodiment or an embodiment selectively excluded from other embodiments.
[0031] Example 1
[0032] Please see Figure 1 - Figure 5 This is the first embodiment of the present utility model. This embodiment provides an elevator car locking device, including a device base 1. A locking frame 2 is installed on the upper surface of the device base 1. A locking mechanism for locking the car is provided on one side of the locking frame 2. A driving mechanism for driving the car is provided on the side wall of the locking frame 2. A quick-release mechanism for replacing the locking mechanism is provided on one side of the driving mechanism.
[0033] The locking mechanism includes an electromagnet 3, which is fixed to one side of the locking frame 2. Both ends of the electromagnet 3 are connected to a fixing block 31. A connecting rod 32 passes through the inside of the fixing block 31. A first nut 33 is threaded onto the outer surface of the connecting rod 32. A compression spring 34 sleeved on the connecting rod 32 is abutted against the side wall of the fixing block 31.
[0034] Specifically, both ends of the electromagnet 3 are threaded with a second nut 35, and a Hall sensor 36 is fixed on the lower surface of the electromagnet 3.
[0035] Furthermore, the Hall sensor 36 installed on the electromagnet 3 can monitor the elevator's operating speed in real time.
[0036] Specifically, a movable part 37 is fixed to the lower surface of the fixed block 31, and a fixing bolt 5 that is threadedly connected to the device base 1 is installed inside the locking frame 2.
[0037] Furthermore, the fixing bolts 5 facilitate the fixing of the locking frame 2.
[0038] In operation, the Hall effect is utilized by a Hall sensor 36 mounted on the electromagnet 3. Multiple magnets are installed on the fixed wheel 4, with their north and south poles spaced a certain distance apart on the axis. The sensing surface of the Hall sensor 36 intersects with the north and south poles of the magnets. When the fixed wheel 4 rotates, the magnetic field strength at the location of the Hall sensor 36 changes periodically, causing the Hall sensor 36 to output a corresponding voltage signal. The frequency of this voltage signal is proportional to the rotational speed of the object. The voltage signal is transmitted to the elevator controller via wires, thereby controlling the elevator's speed in real time. According to the monitoring, when the car needs to be locked, the electromagnet 3 on the locking frame 2 stops being energized, so that the fixing block 31 loses its outward pushing force. Under the action of the compression spring 34, the fixing block 31 will be pushed inward. Under the action of the rotating shaft 63, the friction block 61 in the moving part 37 will contact the outer surface of the fixing wheel 4, and the fixing wheel 4 will be locked, thereby locking the car. By turning the first nut 33 on the connecting rod 32, the tension of the compression spring 34 can be adjusted, thereby ensuring the locking effect of the fixing wheel 4.
[0039] In summary, this elevator car locking device allows for convenient monitoring of the elevator's operating speed. When the elevator's ascending or descending speed is too high, it can lock the car, thereby reducing the risk of danger. Furthermore, the locking mechanism can be adjusted to reduce situations where the car cannot lock effectively due to excessive wear.
[0040] Example 2
[0041] Please see Figure 1 - Figure 5 This is the second embodiment of the present utility model.
[0042] Specifically, the drive mechanism includes a fixed wheel 4, which is mounted on the side wall of the locking frame 2. A steel rope wheel 41 is fixed to one side of the fixed wheel 4 by bolts, and a reducer 42 is connected to the other side of the fixed wheel 4. A drive motor 43 is fixed to the input end of the reducer 42.
[0043] Furthermore, the drive motor 43 is started, which drives the reducer 42 to operate, thereby raising and lowering the elevator.
[0044] Specifically, the quick-release mechanism includes a mounting slot 6, which is located inside the movable part 37, and a friction block 61 is installed inside the mounting slot 6.
[0045] Furthermore, by having the friction block 61 contact the outer surface of the fixed wheel 4, the fixed wheel 4 is fixed and locked, thereby locking the car.
[0046] Specifically, a fixing screw 62 that is threadedly connected to the friction block 61 is installed on one side of the movable part 37, and a rotating shaft 63 that is fixedly connected to the locking frame 2 is rotatably connected to the lower end of the movable part 37.
[0047] Furthermore, by unscrewing the fixing screws 62 on the fixing block 31, the fixing of the friction block 61 can be released, and the friction block 61 can be disassembled with the cooperation of the mounting groove 6.
[0048] In use, the device base 1 is placed in a suitable position, and the steel rope wheel 41 is connected to the steel rope of the elevator. The drive motor 43 is started, which drives the reducer 42 to run. The output shaft of the reducer 42 drives the fixed wheel 4 to rotate, driving the steel rope on the steel rope wheel 41 to run and raise and lower the elevator. The second nut 35 facilitates the disassembly of the electromagnet 3 and the fixed block 31. By unscrewing the fixing screw 62 on the fixed block 31, the fixing of the friction block 61 can be released. With the cooperation of the mounting groove 6, the friction block 61 can be disassembled. The fixing bolt 5 facilitates the fixing of the locking frame 2.
[0049] In summary, this elevator car locking device allows for convenient detection of the elevator's operating speed during use. It can lock the elevator when the elevator's lifting speed is too fast, thereby reducing the occurrence of danger. Furthermore, the locking mechanism can be adjusted to reduce situations where it cannot lock effectively due to excessive wear. By unscrewing the fixing screws 62 on the fixing block 31, the fixing of the friction block 61 can be released, and the friction block 61 can be disassembled with the cooperation of the mounting groove 6.
