[0030] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, so that the advantages and features of the present invention can be more easily understood by those skilled in the art, thereby making a clearer and more definite definition of the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0031] like Figure 1-9 The image shows a sliding guardrail for an elevator car top, as described in this embodiment. This sliding guardrail is installed on the top of the elevator car to provide interception and protection. The sliding guardrail includes three guardrails and an entrance / exit guardrail. The three guardrails and the entrance / exit guardrail form a rectangular frame structure. The three guardrails are fixed to the top of the car and are welded together from structural components. The three guardrails enclose a working area, with the three sides providing interception and protection. An open end extending laterally is formed between the two free ends of the three guardrails.
[0032] The aforementioned access railings are arranged within the open ends of the three-sided guardrails and include a chute 2, a crossbeam 4, a sliding rod 3, a limit switch 5, and a locking assembly. The chute 2 has a designed length and an internally formed C-shaped cavity. Two sets of chute 2 are arranged laterally at intervals and extend vertically, forming an access passage between them. This access passage allows entry and exit into the working area enclosed by the three-sided guardrails. The lower end of the chute 2 is fixed to the car top door operator mounting base via a support plate. Several sets of crossbeams 4 are arranged vertically side-by-side between each set of chute 2 and the three-sided guardrails to intercept the gap between the chute 2 and the three-sided guardrails 1. The first end of each crossbeam 4 is welded to the chute 2, and the second end is welded to a connecting plate 41. The connecting plate 41 is fastened to the three-sided guardrails via bolt assemblies. This structural design ensures that the chute 2 is stably and reliably fixed to the car top.
[0033] Several sets of sliding rods 3 span the access channel. Each set of sliding rods 3 is slidably connected at both ends to the sliding grooves 2 on both sides, and has an interception position that prevents passage through the access channel and an access position that allows passage. At the interception position, the sliding rods 3 are spaced apart vertically to block the access channel. At the access position, the sliding rods 3 move to the bottom of the sliding groove 2, allowing maintenance personnel to step over the sliding rods 3 and pass through the access channel. Specifically, sliding plates 31 are welded to both ends of the sliding rods 3. These sliding plates 31 are slidably arranged within the C-shaped cavities of the corresponding sliding grooves 2. The sliding of these sliding plates 31 allows the sliding rods 3 to move smoothly up and down.
[0034] A stop block 7 is installed at the bottom of the slide 2. This stop block 7 prevents the slide rod 3 from moving downward.
[0035] The aforementioned locking assembly is arranged corresponding to each set of sliding rods 3, used to lock or unlock the sliding rods 3 at the interception position. This locking assembly allows the sliding rods 3 to be limited to the interception position. Specifically, the locking assembly includes a pin 6 and a pin hole seat 61. Both the pin 6 and the pin hole seat 61 are conventional components of the prior art. The pin 6 is movably arranged on a fixed base in a linear direction. The pin 6 is fixedly mounted on the sliding rod 3 via the fixed base, allowing it to move relative to the sliding rod 3. The pin hole seat 61 is fixed to the slide groove 2, its position corresponding to the pin 6. By inserting the pin 6 into the insertion hole on the pin hole seat 61, the sliding rod 3 is restricted to the interception position. By removing the pin 6 from the pin hole seat 61, the locking of the sliding rod 3 is released.
[0036] The aforementioned limit switch 5 corresponds to at least one set of sliding rods 3. This limit switch 5 is a conventional component of the prior art, connected to the elevator's central control system. The limit switch 5 is fixed to the slide rail 2 and has a trigger end facing the entry / exit space. The trigger end of the limit switch 5 is movable in the direction of approaching or moving away from the entry / exit space to be triggered or reset. Its trigger end extends into the C-shaped cavity of the slide rail 2. When in the aforementioned blocking position, the sliding plate 31 on the sliding rod 3 contacts the limit switch 5 to trigger it. When in the aforementioned entry / exit position, the sliding rod 3 moves away from the limit switch 5 to deactivate the trigger and reset the limit switch 5.
[0037] A latch 8 is installed at a preset position on the slide 2. The latch 8 is a conventional component in the prior art. When the sliding rod 3 moves to the intercepting position, it moves to a position directly above the latch 8, which can easily align the pin 6 with the pin hole seat 61, ensuring the stability of the sliding rod 3. When the latch 8 is adjusted to a 90-degree position, the operator can place one side of the sliding rod 3 on the latch 8, which makes it easier to balance the sliding rod 3, reduces the difficulty of operation, and improves work efficiency.
[0038] In this embodiment, the upper and lower ends of the sliding plate 31 are formed with bent portions 32 that bend towards the direction of entering and exiting the channel. The bent portions 32 are arranged at an angle to serve as guides. When the sliding plate 31 slides up and down, the bent portions 32 at the upper and lower ends first contact the trigger end of the limit switch 5 and press the trigger end to retract, so that the sliding plate 31 can smoothly pass through the trigger end of the limit switch 5.
[0039] In practical use, when the sliding rods 3 are moved to the in / out position during elevator maintenance, the access passage is opened, allowing maintenance personnel to step over the sliding rods 3 and enter or leave the work area enclosed by the three maintenance railings. At this time, the limit switches 5 are disconnected to output signals and prevent elevator malfunction. When the sliding rods 3 are moved to the blocking position, the access passage is blocked by the sliding rods 3, forming four-sided protection on the car top. At this time, the limit switches 5 are triggered to control elevator operation. The combination of the above methods achieves four-sided protection on the elevator car top, effectively protecting maintenance personnel. It also facilitates entry and exit from the car top, improving the safety of maintenance personnel when entering and exiting the car top. The structural design is simple, installation is convenient, and it effectively meets the actual usage needs of elevators, demonstrating strong practicality.
[0040] The above description is merely an embodiment of this utility model and does not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made based on the content of this utility model specification, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
