Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of elevator safety braking technology, specifically relating to a four-safety-clamp synchronous lifting mechanism. Background Technology
[0002] Existing safety clamp lifting mechanisms for heavy-duty elevators typically employ two independent lower beam structures, with two safety clamps mounted on each beam. Synchronous movement of the two lower beams is achieved via a linkage shaft. However, due to the combined effects of machining tolerances and assembly misalignment, a time lag exists between the actions of the safety clamps on the two lower beams. This misalignment needs to be reduced by welding fixing bolts after installation and commissioning. This approach has the following drawbacks:
[0003] Poor synchronization: The misalignment causes the two sets of lower beam safety brakes to fail to move synchronously in an instant, affecting the braking effect;
[0004] Complex debugging: requires on-site welding and fixing, increasing installation time and cost;
[0005] Maintenance difficulties: The welded structure is difficult to disassemble, making later maintenance or replacement of parts inconvenient.
[0006] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a lifting mechanism that requires no welding, can eliminate misalignment, and enables the instantaneous synchronous action of the four safety clamps. Utility Model Content
[0007] In view of the problems mentioned in the background technology above, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a four-safety-clamp synchronous lifting mechanism, which is a stable and easy-to-install synchronous lifting mechanism that does not require welding, can eliminate misalignment, and can realize instantaneous synchronous action of the four safety clamps.

[0009] A four-safety-clamp synchronous lifting mechanism includes two sets of lower beams and long connecting shafts, as well as a coupling tube. Each lower beam is equipped with a short shaft, which is connected to the short shaft of the other lower beam through the long connecting shaft. The long connecting shafts are fixed together by the coupling tube, and hexagonal nuts are connected to both ends of the coupling tube. The long connecting shaft is tightened with slots provided on the long connecting shaft by hexagonal screws.
[0010] Further defined, it also includes a safety clamp pull handle, a wire rope handle, a hexagonal screw and a nut. The long connecting shaft is provided with a first slot and a second slot.

[0015] Further, it also includes a horizontal tie rod, which is connected to the long connecting shaft via the tie rod. The tie rod has a U-shaped structure and is fixed at both ends by bolts.
[0016] Further specifying, the wire rope handle is connected to the elevator speed governor via the speed governor wire rope, and the wire rope handle is also connected to a long connecting shaft.

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.
[0036] like Figure 1 As shown, the present invention provides a four-safety-clamp synchronous lifting mechanism, including two sets of lower beams 1 and long connecting shafts 2, and also includes a coupling tube 64. Each lower beam 1 is equipped with a short shaft 9, which is connected to the short shaft 9 of the other set of lower beams 1 through the long connecting shaft 2. The long connecting shafts 2 are fixed together by the coupling tube 64. The two ends of the coupling tube 64 are connected to hexagonal nuts, and are tightened with hexagonal screws to the slots provided on the long connecting shafts 2.
[0037] In the practical application of this embodiment, it also includes a safety clamp pull handle 4, a wire rope handle 51, a hexagonal screw 73 and a nut 74. The long connecting shaft 2 is provided with a first slot 21 and a second slot 22. The first slot 21 is connected to the wire rope handle 51 by a flat key. The first slot 21 is also connected to the safety clamp pull handle 4 by a flat key and locked by the hexagonal screw 73 and the nut 74. The second slot 22 is fixed to the coupling tube 64 by the hexagonal screw 73 and the nut 74.
[0038] In the practical application of this embodiment, the inner wall of the coupling tube 64 is provided with anti-slip texture, and the contact surface between the coupling tube 64 and the long connecting shaft 2 is fixed by a tightening screw.
[0039] In the practical application of this embodiment, a fixed bracket 58 is provided on the lower beam 1, and a return spring 11 is installed inside the fixed bracket 58. One end of the return spring 11 is connected to the horizontal tie rod 13.
[0040] In the practical application of this embodiment, the safety clamp lifting handle 4 is fixed to the connecting bracket 66 by the shaft pin 68 and the cotter pin 70. The end of the connecting bracket 66 is connected to the screw 67, which has left and right threads at both ends and is locked by hexagonal nuts.
[0041] In the practical application of this embodiment, the screw 67 is provided with a hexagonal head in the middle, which is used to adjust the installation position of the connecting bracket 66.
[0042] In the practical application of this embodiment, a horizontal tie rod 7 is also included. The horizontal tie rod 13 is connected to the long connecting shaft 2 through the horizontal tie rod 7. The horizontal tie rod 7 has a U-shaped structure, and both ends of the horizontal tie rod 7 are fixed by bolts.
[0043] In the practical application of this embodiment, the wire rope handle 51 is connected to the elevator speed governor via the speed governor wire rope 54. The wire rope handle 51 is also connected to the long connecting shaft 2. When the elevator speed governor is activated, the wire rope handle 51 is lifted, which synchronously drives the long connecting shaft 2 of the two sets of lower beams 1.
[0044] In the practical application of this embodiment, each safety clamp includes a safety clamp body 36, an elevator car frame column 49, and an elevator track 55. The elevator car frame column 49 is fixedly connected to the safety clamp body 36, and the elevator track 55 is arranged opposite to the elevator car frame column 49.
[0045] The working principle of the safety clamp is as follows:
[0046] The safety clamp lever drives the speed governor wire rope 54, and the tensioning wheel maintains the friction between the speed governor wire rope 54 and the speed governor wheel, so that the speed governor wheel speed is consistent with the car running speed.
[0047] When the car (safety gear, safety gear lever, governor wire rope 54, governor wheel) runs at a speed ≥115% of the rated speed, the governor activates. The brake rope block compresses the governor wire rope 54, stopping its operation and triggering the safety gear lever, causing the safety gear to activate. Based on this, the elevator uses two identical elevator lifting mechanisms, synchronized by a coupling tube 64. When the governor activates, the wire rope handle 51 is lifted, instantly synchronizing the two lifting mechanisms, i.e., simultaneously lifting all four safety gears to brake and forcibly stop the car.
[0048] Example 1: Standard Heavy-Duty Elevator
[0049] In an elevator with a rated load of 5000kg, the coupling tube 64 is made of seamless steel pipe with a wall thickness of 5mm, with M12 nuts welded to both ends. The groove depth of the long connecting shaft 2 is 3mm, and it is tightened with M12 hex bolts. Post-installation testing shows that the time difference between the action of the four safety clamps is ≤0.1 seconds.
[0050] Example 2: Elevator for Extremely Cold Environments
[0051] The similarities between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 will not be repeated here. The difference is that, in a low-temperature environment, the inner wall of the coupling tube 64 is coated with antifreeze grease, and the long connecting shaft 2 is made of stainless steel, thereby avoiding misalignment caused by low-temperature shrinkage.
[0052] Example 3: Removable and maintainable design
[0053] The similarities between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 will not be repeated here. The difference is that a quick-release buckle is added at the connection between the coupling tube 64 and the long connecting shaft 2 in this embodiment, which facilitates quick disassembly during regular maintenance without removing the entire lower beam 1.
[0054] The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the principles and effects of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Any person skilled in the art can modify or alter the above embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of this utility model. Therefore, all equivalent modifications or alterations made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and technical concept disclosed in this utility model should still be covered by the claims of this utility model.
