Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of villa elevator technology, specifically relating to a compact villa elevator. Background Technology
[0002] A villa elevator, also known as a home elevator, is an elevator installed in a private residence for the exclusive use of a single family member. Since private residences typically have a smaller overall floor area compared to commercial buildings or other public housing, and fewer people use the elevator, compact villa elevators are necessary.
[0003] As shown in the patent document with patent authorization announcement number CN221565445U, a compact villa elevator structure is disclosed. This elevator structure utilizes two extended connecting parts of the main connecting plate to connect with the chassis, allowing the extended connecting parts to support the front and rear sides of the corresponding columns of the chassis, thereby improving the structural stability of the two ends of the chassis and reducing the probability of bending deformation. Then, inclined connecting plates are provided at both the front and rear ends of the columns. The two inclined connecting plates are arranged in a figure-eight shape with each other at an inclination. The upper end of the inclined connecting plate is provided with a column connecting part connected to the side of the column, and the lower end is provided with a chassis connecting part connected to the chassis. The two inclined connecting plates respectively hold the ends of the chassis, further improving the structural stability of the chassis and reducing the probability of deformation of the front and rear ends of the chassis due to force.
[0004] The aforementioned elevator structure improves the stability of the elevator chassis by modifying its connection structure, thereby reducing the likelihood of chassis deformation under stress and ensuring the elevator's service life. Currently, with increasing demand for villa elevators, people are paying more attention to the size of the elevator car's interior space. They generally expect the villa elevator's car space to be as large as possible within the same shaft space, thus providing users with more elevator usable space. Therefore, further improvement schemes have been developed for compact villa elevators. Utility Model Content
[0005] To overcome at least some of the shortcomings of the prior art, this utility model provides a compact villa elevator.
[0006] The technical solution provided by this utility model is as follows:
[0007] A compact villa elevator includes a car body, a car frame, car guide shoes, car guide rails, and a hoist. The hoist is erected and fixed on the ground.

A call device is installed on the rear interior side of the car body.
[0008] In this invention, the car body has doors on the front, left, and / or right sides.
[0009] This utility model also includes a traction rope, a traction machine, a counterweight body, counterweight guide shoes, counterweight guide rails, and a counterweight bracket. The counterweight bracket is fixed to the rear side inside the derrick and extends in the vertical direction. The interior of the counterweight bracket has a space for the counterweight to move up and down. There are two counterweight guide rails, which are installed opposite each other on the left and right sides inside the counterweight bracket. Counterweight guide shoes are installed on the left and right sides of the exterior of the counterweight body. The counterweight guide shoes slide in cooperation with the counterweight guide rails.

[0029] like Figures 1 to 8As shown, this embodiment discloses a compact villa elevator, including a car body 1, a car frame 2, car guide shoes 3, car guide rails 4, and a hoist 5. The hoist 5 is vertically fixed on the ground, and the car body 1 is located inside the hoist 5. The rear of the car body 1 is provided with an inwardly recessed mounting part 11. Car guide shoes 3 are installed on both the left and right sides of the car frame 2. The car guide rails 4 are slidably engaged with the car guide shoes 3. The car guide rails 4 are fixedly installed on the left and right sides inside the hoist 5. The car guide rails 4 extend in the vertical direction, and the outer distance S1 between the car guide rails 4 is less than or equal to the outer dimensions S2 of the left and right sides of the car body 1. A call device 6 is installed on the rear side of the interior of the car body 1. In this embodiment, the car frame 2 is connected to the rear of the car body 1, and an inwardly recessed mounting part 11 is provided at the rear of the car body 1. This allows the left and right sides of the car frame 2 to be embedded within the mounting part 11. The car frame 2 is installed by moving backward and retracting inward, preventing it from protruding and occupying space on the left and right sides of the hoist frame 5. This allows the space in front of the mounting part 11 to be close to the inner wall of the hoist frame 5, thus increasing the internal space of the car body 1. Furthermore, since the car frame 2 is connected to the rear of the car body 1, there are no obstructing mechanical parts on the front and left and right sides of the car body 1. Therefore, the elevator can choose to have three doors: front, left, and right. The direction of door opening can be selected... Furthermore, the elevator is more flexible in its installation, making it suitable for a wider range of applications. Additionally, the rearward and inward-retracted installation of the car frame 2 increases the lateral space at the front of the car body 1. Although the lateral space at the rear is reduced, the larger space available for users entering from the front when the elevator doors open from the front satisfies most space requirements. Therefore, the reduced lateral space at the rear has a minimal impact on elevator operation. This embodiment also installs the call device 6 inside the car at the rear, allowing passengers to naturally move to the rear of the car to select their desired floor. This shifts the elevator's center of gravity backward, aligning with the rearward installation of the car frame 2, reducing the torque on the elevator car and resulting in more stable operation.
[0030] In this embodiment, the compact villa elevator also includes a traction rope 7, a traction machine 8, a counterweight body 9, counterweight guide shoes 10, counterweight guide rails 20, and a counterweight bracket 30. The counterweight bracket 30 is fixed to the rear side inside the hoist frame 5 and extends in the vertical direction. The interior of the counterweight bracket 30 has a space for the counterweight to move up and down. There are two counterweight guide rails 20, which are installed opposite each other on the left and right sides inside the counterweight bracket 30. Counterweight guide shoes 10 are installed on both the left and right sides of the exterior of the counterweight body 9. The counterweight guide shoes 10 slide in cooperation with the counterweight guide rails 20. The counterweight body 9, the traction machine 8, and the car frame 2 are connected by the traction rope 7. The traction machine 8 is fixedly installed on the top of the hoist frame 5. By setting the counterweight body 9, counterweight guide shoe 10, counterweight guide rail 20, and counterweight bracket 30 all inside the hoist frame 5 at the rear, making them compatible with the rearward arrangement of the car frame 2, the overall structure of the elevator is more compact and occupies less space. When the elevator is running, the traction machine 8 drives the traction rope 7 to move, so that the counterweight body 9 slides up and down under the cooperation of the counterweight guide shoe 10 and the counterweight guide rail 20; the car body 1 and the car frame 2 slide up and down under the cooperation of the car guide shoe 3 and the car guide rail 4.
[0031] In this embodiment, a separation section 40 is provided between the counterweight body 9 and the car body 1. A baffle 50 is installed within the separation section 40. The left and right sides of the baffle 50 are fixed to the left and right sides inside the hoist frame 5, respectively. The baffle 50 is arranged from bottom to top, concealing the installation structure of the counterweight body 9 on the rear side of the car body 1, thus improving the aesthetics of the elevator. Furthermore, both the left and right sides of the baffle 50 can be fixed inside the hoist frame 5 from top to bottom, resulting in higher installation stability and preventing swaying caused by airflow during elevator operation. In this embodiment, the car frame 2 is connected to the rear of the car body 1, and the car guide rails 4 are arranged on the left and right sides of the car frame 2. The car frame 2 does not need to extend rearward. Therefore, installing the baffle 50 within the separation section 40 can fix the baffle 50 to the left and right sides inside the hoist frame 5, ensuring the stability of the baffle 50 installation without affecting the normal operation of the elevator.
[0032] Furthermore, the baffle 50 can be assembled from several unit plates from bottom to top. The unit plates can be disassembled individually. When counterweight maintenance is required, several unit plates can be disassembled for the maintenance, which makes the counterweight maintenance work easier.
[0033] In this embodiment, the derrick 5 includes a front frame 51, a rear frame 52, and a reinforcing frame 53. The front frame 51 and the rear frame 52 are joined together by splicing profiles 54, which extend from bottom to top. The reinforcing frame 53 is installed on the inner wall of the rear frame 52 to enhance the structural strength of the rear frame 52. The car guide rail 4 and the counterweight bracket 30 are both fixed to the inner wall of the reinforcing frame 53, thereby strengthening the load-bearing structure in the derrick 5. The portion of the car body located in front of the installation part 11 is correspondingly arranged in the front frame 51, and the installation part 11 of the car body and its rear structural components are correspondingly arranged in the reinforcing frame 53. Therefore, in the structure of the derrick 5, the parts that need to bear load are reinforced by the reinforcing frame 53, while the parts that do not need to bear load are surrounded by the front frame 51. This not only ensures the structural strength but also effectively saves material costs and increases the space of the car body 1.
[0034] In this embodiment, the front frame 51 includes front side plates 511 arranged opposite to each other on the left and right sides, the rear frame 52 includes rear side plates 521 arranged opposite to each other on the left and right sides, and the splicing profile 54 includes a first connecting groove 541 into which the edge of the front side plate 511 can be inserted and fixed, a second connecting groove 542 into which the edge of the rear side plate 521 can be inserted and fixed, and a limiting protrusion 543 for limiting the installation of the front side of the reinforcing frame 53. The first connecting groove 541 is located on the front side of the splicing profile 54, the second connecting groove 542 is located on the rear side of the splicing profile 54, and the limiting protrusion 543 is located on the inner side of the splicing profile 54. The rear side of the limiting protrusion 543 abuts against the front side of the reinforcing frame 53, thereby limiting the installation of the front side of the reinforcing frame 53. The outer wall of the reinforcing frame 53 is separated from the rear side plate 521, thereby preventing the reinforcing frame 53 from expanding outward and squeezing the rear side plate 521 under pressure, which would cause the rear side plate 521 to deform. The reinforcing frame 53 is supported by profiles, which makes it more stable.
[0035] In this embodiment, the rear side of the rear frame 52 is provided with two opposing rear connecting profiles 522 and a rear sealing plate 523 connected between the two rear connecting profiles 522. The rear connecting profiles 522 extend from bottom to top and are right-angle corner structures. A third connecting groove 524 is provided on one corner side of the rear connecting profile 522 for the other edge of the rear side plate 521 to be inserted and fixed. A fourth connecting groove 525 is provided on the other corner side of the rear connecting profile 522 for the edge of the rear sealing plate 523 to be inserted and fixed. The inner side of the rear connecting profile 522 abuts against the rear side of the reinforcing frame 53, thereby enabling the rear side of the reinforcing frame 53 to also be installed and limited. The rear side of the reinforcing frame 53 is separated from the rear sealing plate 523, thereby preventing the rear sealing plate 523 from being deformed by the reinforcing frame 53. Meanwhile, the left and right sides of the reinforcing frame 53 are respectively abutted by the splicing profile 54 and the inner side of the rear connecting profile 522 located on the left and right sides of the rear frame 52 to achieve installation limit on the left and right sides.
[0036] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. Any technical solution that achieves the purpose of the present utility model by essentially the same means shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
