[0002] With the acceleration of urbanization, elevators are becoming increasingly widely used as vertical transportation tools. The safety performance of elevators plays a crucial role in protecting the lives and property of passengers. The safety brake is one of the key safety components of an elevator; it locks the car firmly to the guide rails in the event of a malfunction, preventing the car from falling. Therefore, the inspection of elevator safety brakes is essential for elevator maintenance and repair. However, traditional safety brake inspection methods mainly rely on regular manual checks. This method is not only inefficient but also susceptible to human factors, failing to guarantee accuracy and timeliness, and easily leading to undetected safety malfunctions. Therefore, how to achieve automatic, rapid, and accurate inspection of elevator safety brakes has become an urgent problem to be solved. Utility Model Content

Obviously, the described embodiments are some embodiments of this utility model, but 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.
[0022] like Figures 1-6 As shown, this utility model embodiment provides a self-testing device for a progressive elevator safety clamp, including: a drive motor 2, a crank-slider mechanism 12, a transmission rod 7, a controller, an infrared sensor 11, and a light-absorbing block 13; one end of the transmission rod 7 is located directly below the wedge connecting rod 1, and the other end passes through the safety clamp base plate, and is connected to the drive motor 2 via the crank-slider mechanism 12; the drive motor 2 is used to drive the crank-slider mechanism 12 to move, thereby driving the transmission rod 7 and the wedge connecting rod 1 to reciprocate along the axial direction; the infrared sensor 11 is fixedly mounted on the side plate of the safety clamp and aligned with the light-absorbing block 13 on the wedge connecting rod 1, the output end of the infrared sensor 11 is connected to the controller, and the output end of the controller is connected to the drive motor 2.
[0023] like Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the crank-slider mechanism 12 includes an L-shaped crank 14 and a slider 15. The slider 15 is provided with a sliding groove. One end of the L-shaped crank 14 is fixedly connected to the shaft of the drive motor 2, and the other end is disposed in the sliding groove. The slider 15 is fixedly connected to the transmission rod 7.
[0024] like Figures 1-3As shown, the self-testing device of a progressive elevator safety clamp in this embodiment also includes a first fixing plate 4, a control box 3, and a storage battery 6. The first fixing plate 4 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the safety clamp base plate. The control box 3, the drive motor 2, and the storage battery 6 are fixedly installed on the first fixing plate 4. The controller is installed in the control box 3.
[0025] like Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the first fixing plate 4 is U-shaped, with a first U-shaped bayonet at each end. The first U-shaped bayonet is fixed on the upper and lower sides of the safety clamp base plate and is fixed by bolts. The control box 3, drive motor 2 and battery 6 are fixed on the first fixing plate 4 by bolts.
[0026] Specifically, the first fixing plate 4 and the second fixing plate 10 are made of 2mm thick galvanized steel plate. The first fixing plate 4 is processed into a finished product that fits the drive motor, battery and control box.
[0027] Specifically, in this embodiment, the drive motor 2 is a 12V four-phase five-wire stepper motor 35BYJ46 with a reduction ratio of 1:85.25. The controller can be a microcontroller, which can control the forward and reverse rotation, rotation angle, speed, and start-up time of the drive motor 2. The microcontroller controls the drive motor to rotate 85.25 revolutions in one cycle. After passing through the reduction device, the motor shaft rotates exactly 360 degrees, and the transmission rod 7 completes one reciprocating motion.
[0028] Furthermore, the self-testing device for a progressive elevator safety clamp in this embodiment also includes a second fixing plate 10, and the infrared sensor 11 is fixed to the side plate of the safety clamp via the second fixing plate. Specifically, as shown... Figure 5 As shown, one end of the second fixing plate 10 is provided with a second U-shaped bayonet, which is locked on the inner and outer sides of the safety clamp side plate and fixed by bolts 5. The other end of the second fixing plate 10 is provided with a U-shaped protrusion, and the infrared sensor 11 is fixed on the second fixing plate 10 by bolts at the bottom of the U-shaped protrusion.
[0029] Furthermore, the self-testing device for a progressive elevator safety clamp in this embodiment also includes an alarm, which is connected to the output terminal of the controller. The alarm uses a high-power honeycomb siren to ensure that the alarm sound can be heard inside the elevator car. In addition, the battery 6 provides power to the self-testing device, enabling it to complete the self-testing process even in the event of a power outage, while ensuring that the battery power will not be lost for 30 days when the device is not in operation; when the battery is fully charged, it can provide the power required for no less than 12 self-tests of the device.
[0030] Furthermore, in this embodiment of a self-testing device for a progressive elevator safety clamp, a tray 8 is also provided on the top of the transmission rod 7, and the transmission rod 7 pushes the wedge connecting rod 1 upward through the tray 8.
[0031] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the safety clamp base plate is provided with a through hole for the transmission rod 7 to pass through. The position of the through hole is such that the center of the transmission rod 7 and the wedge connecting rod 1 are aligned. In the non-self-test state, a 1mm gap is left between the transmission rod 7 and the wedge connecting rod 1 to prevent the device from affecting the normal use of the safety clamp.
[0032] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: After the self-test begins, the controller controls the drive motor 2 to rotate. The drive motor 2 converts the rotational motion of the motor shaft into the reciprocating motion of the transmission rod 7 through the crank-slider structure 12. When the sensing rod 7 moves upward, it drives the wedge connecting rod 1 to move upward. The light-absorbing block 13 moves upward with the wedge connecting rod 1. At this time, the reflection data received by the infrared sensor changes, and the alarm starts the self-test alarm. As the self-test process ends, the drive motor 2 drives the transmission rod 7 to move downward. The light-absorbing block 13 moves downward with the wedge connecting rod 1 and returns to its original position. The data received by the infrared sensor 11 returns to its original value, and the alarm stops the self-test alarm. If the data received by the infrared sensor 11 does not change or fluctuate after the self-test begins, or if the data received by the infrared sensor 11 does not recover to its pre-self-test value at the end of the self-test, it indicates a safety clamp malfunction, and the alarm starts the malfunction alarm.
[0033] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
