Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of elevator accessories technology, and relates to a reverse rope pulley device for a machine room-less elevator car. More specifically, it designs a reverse rope pulley device for a machine room-less elevator car with anti-shaft breakage protection. Background Technology

[0002] The top-floor anti-reverse sheave is a type of fixed pulley used in elevators, typically located on the top-floor anti-reverse sheave beam. As needed, the traction rope passes around the top-floor anti-reverse sheave, and in conjunction with the top-floor anti-reverse sheave, a large traction ratio can be achieved. Its function is to reduce the output power and torque of the traction machine.

[0003] The current national standard for elevators, GB / T 7588.1-2020, specifies in section 5.5.8, regarding traction sheaves, pulleys, and sprockets within the hoistway, that traction sheaves, pulleys, and sprockets may be fixed within the hoistway at a position higher than the ground floor leveling point if the following conditions are met:

[0004] a) It should have a retaining device to prevent the pulley and sprocket from falling in the event of mechanical failure. This device should be able to support the pulley or sprocket and the suspended load; therefore, the latest elevator standards require a shaft breakage protection device.

[0005] Existing anti-cord sheave devices typically include two vertical clamping plates, a sheave shaft rotatably connected to the clamping plates, and an anti-cord sheave mounted on the sheave shaft, all fixed to the anti-cord sheave beam via the bottom of the clamping plates. During elevator operation, if the tension in the wire rope suddenly increases beyond the sheave shaft's capacity, the sheave shaft may break, causing the anti-cord sheave and wire rope to detach. However, the elevator control system may not stop the elevator due to the anti-cord sheave device malfunction, potentially leading to a fall of the elevator car and counterweight.

[0006] To address this issue, a reverse rope sheave device for machine-room-less elevator cars is designed to overcome the aforementioned problems. Utility Model Content

[0007] The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and provide a simple, reasonable, stable, safe and reliable anti-rope wheel device for machine room-less elevator cars.

[0008] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: a reverse rope sheave device for a machine room-less elevator car, comprising a reverse rope sheave device body, the reverse rope sheave device body consisting of two identical mounting plates, a car reverse rope sheave shaft, and mounting beams. The two mounting plates are arranged front to back with a gap between them, and corresponding mounting holes are opened on the two mounting plates respectively. The car reverse rope sheave shaft passes through the mounting holes of the two mounting plates in sequence and is partially exposed on the two mounting plates. A limit mechanism is provided on the exposed part of the car reverse rope sheave shaft to prevent the car reverse rope sheave shaft from rotating. A car reverse rope sheave is sleeved on the car reverse rope sheave shaft between the two mounting plates, and a steel wire rope is suspended on the car reverse rope sheave. Mounting beams are fixed directly above the car reverse rope sheave, between the two mounting plates, near the top. The two mounting plates are inserted into the long strip-shaped reverse rope sheave beam and suspended on the reverse rope sheave beam through the mounting beam. A protective mechanism is provided directly below the car reverse rope sheave on the two mounting plates.

[0009] Preferably, the protection mechanism is a breakage protection shaft, which consists of two shafts located directly below the car's anti-breakage sheave. These shafts are at the same height and arranged side-by-side, with the distance between them being less than the diameter of the car's anti-breakage sheave. The two mounting plates each have corresponding shaft holes for the breakage protection shafts. Both ends of each shaft are installed within the shaft holes of the two mounting plates. With these two shafts, the car's anti-breakage sheave can be supported and prevented from falling when it falls onto the shafts, thus preventing accidents caused by shaft breakage.

[0010] Preferably, the car deflector is provided with a concave groove for winding a steel wire rope, and an anti-jump rod is provided on each of the left and right adjacent positions of the car deflector. Each anti-jump rod passes through the through holes opened on the two mounting plates and is fixed between the two mounting plates. The two anti-jump rods are used to prevent the steel wire rope from detaching from the car deflector when the elevator encounters an unexpected working condition.

[0011] Preferably, the limiting mechanism is a clamping plate installed on the outer side of two mounting plates respectively. The lower part of the clamping plate is provided with an arc-shaped limiting groove. The two clamping plates are fixed to the mounting plates by bolts respectively, and the arc-shaped limiting groove on each clamping plate after fixing is in close contact with the exposed part of the car anti-rope wheel axle.

[0012] Preferably, a mounting bracket is fixed between the two mounting plates near the bottom. This mounting bracket is positioned directly below the anti-breakage protection shaft. A deformation detection device is installed inside the mounting bracket to provide an early warning when the car anti-corrosion sheave shaft is excessively deformed.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0014] The anti-reverse rope sheave device for machine-room-less elevator cars designed in this utility model features a breakage-prevention protective shaft. This shaft prevents the anti-reverse rope sheave from falling even if the shaft breaks, thus preventing accidents caused by shaft breakage. Even after the anti-reverse rope sheave shaft falls onto the breakage-prevention protective shaft, the shaft can still rotate freely, improving safety. The deformation detection device in this utility model serves as an early warning when the anti-reverse rope sheave is significantly deformed, enabling predictive maintenance.

The two mounting plates 1 are respectively provided with shaft holes 15 corresponding to the breakage prevention shafts 8. Both ends of each shaft are installed in the shaft holes 15 of the two mounting plates 1. With the two shafts 8, the car's anti-breakage sheave 5 can be supported and prevented from falling when it falls onto the shafts, thus preventing accidents caused by shaft breakage. It can also prevent jamming.

[0021] The car deflector 5 is provided with a concave groove for winding the steel wire rope 6. An anti-jump rod 9 is provided on each of the left and right adjacent positions of the car deflector 5. Each anti-jump rod 9 passes through the through holes 10 opened on the two mounting plates 1 and is fixed between the two mounting plates 1.

[0022] The limiting mechanism consists of a clamping plate 11 installed on the outer side of two mounting plates 1. The lower part of the clamping plate 11 is provided with an arc-shaped limiting groove 12. The two clamping plates 11 are fixed to the mounting plates 1 by bolts, and the arc-shaped limiting groove 12 on each clamping plate 11 after fixing is in close contact with the exposed part of the car anti-rope wheel axle 2.

[0023] A mounting bracket 13 is fixed between the two mounting plates 1 near the bottom. This mounting bracket 13 is positioned directly below the anti-breakage protection shaft 8. A deformation detection device 14 is installed inside the mounting bracket 13 to provide an early warning when the car anti-corrosion sheave shaft 2 is excessively deformed. The deformation detection device of this utility model is a conventional deformation detection switch or a conventional device that can achieve the above functions, so it will not be explained in detail.

[0024] The anti-reverse rope sheave device for machine-room-less elevator cars designed in this utility model features a breakage-prevention protective shaft.
