Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of elevator manufacturing, and in particular to a full-circle sightseeing elevator. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, with the rapid development of urban construction and the increasing demand for architectural aesthetics, full-circle sightseeing elevators, as an important component of modern architecture, have been widely used in hotels, commercial complexes, observation towers, and other scenarios. These elevators, with their 360° fully transparent glass shaft design, provide passengers with unobstructed panoramic views, becoming iconic devices in modern architecture that combine functionality and aesthetics. The cleanliness of the elevator car glass plays a decisive role in the viewing experience. Traditional cleaning methods rely on manual wiping, but the shaft is relatively narrow, making manual wiping inefficient, costly, and posing a risk of falls. Although existing wiping mechanisms have been improved to some extent, they still have certain shortcomings. For example, patent CN215828112U discloses a new type of sightseeing elevator, but this device still has the following shortcomings in the field of glass cleaning: the cleaning mechanism requires an additional power source, but existing sightseeing shafts are mostly glass structures, and the cleaning mechanism has a significant impact on the view. Utility Model Content

[0003] (a) Technical problems to be solved

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention aims to provide a fully circular sightseeing elevator that solves the problems existing in the prior art. This device utilizes an automatic wiping mechanism combining mechanical linkage and electromagnetic triggering, employing the elevator's own operating energy to drive cleaning without human intervention, thus completely eliminating safety hazards. Furthermore, the electromagnet in this device only serves as a trigger signal source (instantaneous energization) and does not continuously consume energy, achieving zero additional power requirements. It effectively cleans the exterior glass of the elevator car, achieving the function of wiping the car glass after one suction cycle and completing the wiping process with a second suction cycle.

[0005] (II) Technical Solution

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a full-circle sightseeing elevator, comprising an outer shaft glass, a wiping mechanism fixed on the outer shaft glass, and a car installed inside the outer shaft glass;

[0007] The wiping mechanism includes a housing fixed to the outer well glass, a locking mechanism fixed inside the housing, and a wiping plate fixed to the side of the locking mechanism.

[0008] Preferably, the locking mechanism includes a fixing block fixed inside the housing, a first guide rod fixed on both sides of the fixing block, a second guide rod fixed in the middle of the fixing block, a locking block fixed at the end of the first guide rod, a slider fixed on the first guide rod, a first spring installed between the first guide rod and the slider, and a push rod fixed at the front end of the slider.

[0009] Preferably, the locking block is provided with a dovetail groove, the unlocking block is installed in the dovetail groove, a second spring is provided on the side of the unlocking block, a limit block is installed on the side of the second spring, and a limit plate is fixed on the outside of the limit block.

[0010] Preferably, a locking plate is provided on the side of the slider.

[0011] Preferably, the wiping plate includes a fixing plate bolted to the push rod and a contact plate fixed to the outside of the fixing plate.

[0012] Preferably, a first electromagnet is provided at the upper end of the outer side of the car, and a second electromagnet is provided at the lower end.

[0013] (III) Beneficial Effects

[0014] The purpose of this invention is to provide a full-circle sightseeing elevator that employs a mechanical linkage mechanism driven by the elevator's operational potential energy. The elevator car's movement triggers an electromagnetic signal (instantaneous energization for 1-3 seconds), and the wiping action is achieved through the energy stored in the spring of the locking mechanism. Compared to the continuous power consumption of traditional cleaning mechanisms, this device can significantly save on cleaning electricity annually. Furthermore, this device occupies less space within the shaft, minimizing its impact on the car's aesthetic appeal. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0024] The following will refer to the appendix in the example of this utility model. Figure 1 -Appendix Figure 8 The technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model are clearly and completely described. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0025] This utility model provides a technical solution: a full-circle sightseeing elevator, including an outer shaft glass 1, a wiping mechanism 2 fixed to the outer shaft glass 1, and a car 3 installed inside the outer shaft glass 1. The outer shaft glass 1, as the outer structure of the full-circle sightseeing elevator, adopts a 360° fully transparent glass design and is used to install the wiping mechanism 2. The wiping mechanism 2 is used to wipe the glass on the outside of the car 3 during elevator operation to ensure the cleanliness of the glass and guarantee a good sightseeing view. The car 3 serves as the passenger carrier; during elevator operation, the movement of the car 3 triggers the operation of the wiping mechanism 2.

[0026] The wiping mechanism 2 includes a housing 201 fixed to the outer shaft glass 1, a locking mechanism 202 fixed inside the housing, and a wiping plate 203 fixed to the side of the locking mechanism 202. The housing 201, fixed to the outer shaft glass 1, provides installation space and protection for the locking mechanism 202 and the wiping plate 203, encapsulating the internal components such as the locking mechanism 202 and the wiping plate 203 to ensure stable operation. The locking mechanism 202 uses an electromagnet on the car 3 to extend the wiping plate 203 for wiping and to retract the wiping plate 203 after the car 3 has passed. When the electromagnet is not in operation, the wiping plate 3 is fully retracted without affecting the operation of the car 3. The wiping plate 3 directly contacts the outer glass of the car 3 to clean the glass.

[0027] The locking mechanism 202 includes a fixing block 2021 fixed inside the housing 201, first guide rods 2022 fixed on both sides of the fixing block 2021, a second guide rod 2023 fixed in the middle of the fixing block 2021, a locking block 2024 fixed at the end of the first guide rod 2022, a slider 2025 fixed on the first guide rod 2022, a first spring 2026 installed between the first guide rod 2022 and the slider 2025, and a push rod 2027 fixed at the front end of the slider 2025. The fixing block 2021, fixed inside the housing 201, supports and fixes the first guide rod 2022, the second guide rod 2023, and other components, providing a stable mounting base for the entire locking mechanism 202. The first guide rods 2022 and 2023 are fixed on both sides of the fixing block 2021 to guide the sliding of the slider 2025, ensuring the horizontal movement accuracy of the slider 2025. The first guide rod 2022 also provides a mounting position for the first spring 2026. The locking block 2023 cooperates with the slider 2025 to lock the slider 2025. A push rod 2027 is fixed at the front end of the slider 2025 to push the wiping plate 203 to perform the wiping action. The first spring 2026 is used to reset the slider 2027.

[0028] The locking block 2024 has a dovetail groove 2028, within which an unlocking block 2029 is installed. A second spring 20211 is located on the side of the unlocking block 2029, and a limit block 20210 is mounted on the side of the second spring 20211. A limit plate 20212 is fixed to the outside of the limit block 20210. The dovetail groove 2028, located within the locking block 2024, serves to mount the unlocking block 2029 and provides a sliding track for it, allowing the unlocking block 2029 to move in a specific direction within the dovetail groove. The unlocking block 2029 engages to lock the slider 2025. The second spring 20211, located on the side of the unlocking block 2029, acts as a reset mechanism. When the electromagnet's magnetic force disappears, the second spring 20211 pushes the unlocking block back to its initial state. The limit block 20210 cooperates with the slider 2025 to lock it. The limiting plate 20212 is used to further strengthen the limiting effect on the unlocking block 2029, and also provides support for the second spring 20211 so that it can work stably.

[0029] A locking plate 20251 is provided on the side of the slider 2025. When the electromagnet first attracts the wiping plate 203, the locking plate 20251 enters the gap between the unlocking block 2029 and the limiting block 20210, hooking the limiting block 20210 to achieve locking. It should be noted that the magnetic force required for unlocking is greater than that required for locking. After being attracted a second time, the locking plate 20251 moves forward to the front of the unlocking block 2029. Then, due to the action of the first spring 2026, the locking plate 20251 pulls the unlocking block 2029 backward, after which the unlocking block 2029 is released from the limiting block 20210 and is limited. At this time, when the locking plate 20251 continues to move backward, it will pass through the inclined surface of the unlocking block 2029 and enter the inclined surface of the limiting block 20210, thereby achieving unlocking.

[0030] The wiping plate 203 includes a fixing plate 2031 bolted to the push rod 2027 and a contact plate 2032 fixed to the outside of the fixing plate 2031; this design ensures that the contact plate 2032 can be quickly replaced, and the fixing plate 2031 is made of iron so that it can be attracted by an electromagnet.

[0031] A first electromagnet 301 is installed at the upper end of the outer side of the car 3, and a second electromagnet 302 is installed at the lower end; both the first electromagnet 301 and the second electromagnet 302 can adjust the magnetic force so that the wiping mechanism 2 can wipe the elevator whether it is going up or down.

[0032] Working principle:

[0033] The device can wipe both upwards and downwards, and the principle is the same; the upwards direction is used as an example here.

[0034] When the car 3 moves upward, the first electromagnet 301 at the upper outer side of the car 3 is energized, generating magnetic force (energized momentarily for 1-3 seconds), attracting the fixing plate 2031 of the wiping plate 203. The fixing plate 2031 drives the push rod 2027 and the slider 2025 to move towards the first electromagnet 301, overcoming the elastic force of the first spring 2026. During the movement of the slider 2025, the locking plate 20251 enters the gap between the unlocking block 2029 and the limiting block 20210, hooking the limiting block 20210 and locking it. At this time, the contact plate 2032 of the wiping plate 203 contacts the outer glass of the car 3 and begins wiping. When the car 3 continues to move upward and leaves the wiping mechanism 2, the first electromagnet 301 is de-energized, and the magnetic force disappears. However, due to the locking effect of the locking plate 20251 and the limiting block 20210, the wiping plate 203 remains extended. When the car 3 moves to the position of the second magnet 302, the second magnet 302 is energized, attracting the wiping plate 203. The locking plate 20251 moves forward to the front of the unlocking block 2029. Then, due to the action of the first spring 2026, the locking plate 20251 pulls the unlocking block 2029 backward. Afterward, the unlocking block 2029 is released from the limiting block 20210 and is limited. At this time, when the locking plate 20251 continues to move backward, it will pass through the inclined surface of the unlocking block 2029 and enter the inclined surface of the limiting block 20210, thereby unlocking.
