Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of elevator technology, specifically to a platform elevator. Background Technology
[0002] To ensure a good viewing experience, most existing platform elevators on the market use a backpack frame structure, similar to a forklift. The car is suspended on the backpack frame, which slides along guide rails under the constraint of guide shoes. The car top rollers (or suspension points) are all on the backpack frame columns, resulting in severe off-center loading. Furthermore, only two steel belts drive the elevator car via the counterweight, leading to a low safety factor. Utility Model Content
[0003] To overcome the aforementioned problems, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a platform elevator. The backpack frame structure adds an upper beam, and the elevator steel belt is increased to four, which are evenly distributed on the upper beam through guide wheels. This results in more even force distribution on the car, smoother operation, and further improvement in the elevator's safety factor.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is: a platform elevator, including a car, a backpack frame set on the outside of the car, a drive host, a counterweight and guide shoes, and also including a first elevator steel belt, a second elevator steel belt, a third elevator steel belt, a fourth elevator steel belt, a third guide wheel, a fourth guide wheel and a fifth guide wheel.
[0005] The backpack frame includes an upper beam at the top, which is located above the car.
[0006] The drive unit, the fifth guide wheel, the fourth guide wheel, and the third guide wheel are arranged sequentially from left to right above the upper beam. The fifth guide wheel is located to the lower right of the drive unit, and the fourth guide wheel is located to the upper right of the fifth guide wheel.
[0007] The first elevator steel belt, the second elevator steel belt, the third elevator steel belt, and the fourth elevator steel belt are suspended on the drive host. One end is fixed to the counterweight by the counterweight rope end, and the other end is successively wrapped around the fifth guide wheel and the fourth guide wheel. After the first elevator steel belt, the second elevator steel belt, and the third elevator steel belt are wrapped around the third guide wheel, and the fourth elevator steel belt is wrapped around the third guide wheel, they are all fixed to the upper beam.
[0008] Furthermore, the first elevator steel belt is fixed to the upper beam via the first rope end, the second elevator steel belt via the second rope end, the third elevator steel belt via the third rope end, and the fourth elevator steel belt via the fourth rope end.
[0009] Furthermore, it also includes a first guide wheel and a second guide wheel fixed to the upper beam. The first guide wheel is located to the lower right of the fourth guide wheel, and the second guide wheel is located below the third guide wheel. The first elevator steel belt is wound around the first guide wheel and then fixed to the upper beam via a first rope end; the second elevator steel belt is wound around the first guide wheel and then via a second rope end; the third elevator steel belt is wound around the second guide wheel and then via a third rope end; and the fourth elevator steel belt is wound around the second guide wheel and then via a fourth rope end. By winding around the first and second guide wheels, the first, second, third, and fourth elevator steel belts become horizontal, and are then fixed to the upper beam via the first, second, third, and fourth rope ends respectively, i.e., fixed to the backpack frame. This minimizes the requirements for the top layer, makes the product structure more compact, saves space occupied at the top of the elevator shaft, and is suitable for more demanding top layer heights.
[0010] The first elevator steel belt, the second elevator steel belt, the third elevator steel belt, and the fourth elevator steel belt are evenly distributed on the upper beam by the first guide wheel and the second guide wheel, so that the car is subjected to more even force and runs more smoothly.
[0011] Furthermore, the first guide wheel is a single wheel with two slots. The first elevator steel belt is wound around one of the slots, and the second elevator steel belt is wound around the other slot.
[0012] Furthermore, there are two second guide wheels, with the third elevator steel belt wrapped around one of the second guide wheels and the fourth elevator steel belt wrapped around the other second guide wheel.
[0013] Furthermore, the fourth guide wheel is at the same horizontal position as the third guide wheel.
[0014] Furthermore, this also includes electronic safety clamps.
[0015] Furthermore, it also includes a grating ruler and a grating ruler reading head. The grating ruler reading head is fixed to the outside of the car by a bracket. The grating ruler passes through the grating ruler reading head and is fixed to the hoistway frame. The grating ruler is provided with holes of different sizes.
[0016] Furthermore, the upper end of the grating ruler is provided with a spring buckle, which is fixed to the shaft frame by the upper bracket, and the lower end of the grating ruler is provided with a spring, which is fixed to the shaft frame by the lower bracket.
[0017] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0018] The backpack frame of this utility model adds an upper beam structure. The upper beam is set above the car, which will not cause uneven load, making the operation more stable and the comfort better.
[0019] This utility model increases the number of elevator steel belts to four, which are evenly distributed on the upper beam through connection with the fifth guide wheel, the fourth guide wheel and the third guide wheel, making the car more evenly stressed and further improving the safety factor of the elevator.
[0020] Another structure of this utility model adds a first guide wheel and a second guide wheel so that the first rope head, the second rope head, the third rope head and the fourth rope head on the upper beam are arranged horizontally, which minimizes the requirements for the top floor, makes the product structure more compact, saves the space occupied at the top of the elevator shaft, and is suitable for more demanding top floor heights.
