AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

In machine-room-less elevators, the installation of a counterweight speed controller at a position aligned with the counterweight when it is at the uppermost position necessitates widening the front dimension of the duct, which is inefficient in terms of space utilization.

Method used

The counterweight speed controller is positioned higher than the counterweight's position when it rises, with at least a portion of it arranged in the width direction of the counterweight, identical to the first counterweight guide rail, and perpendicular to the suspension body between the drive pulley and counterweight suspension pulley, optimizing space usage within the shaft.

Benefits of technology

This arrangement suppresses the expansion of the shaft's plan dimensions by efficiently utilizing the available space, allowing for the installation of the counterweight speed controller without requiring additional space next to the hoisting machine, and improves maintainability by reducing the height of the controller.

The cabin speed control 23 is connected to the cabin safety device by means of a cabin speed control cable (not shown). The cabin speed control 23 activates the cabin safety device when the cabin speed 2 has reached an overspeed.

[0034] A counterweight safety device 25 is located on a lower section of the counterweight 3 The counterweight safety device engages the first and second counterweight guide rails. 6 and 7 , in order to cause the counterweight 3 performs a safety stop.

[0035] The cabin speed control 23 is in a view from directly above between the cabin 2and arranged on a shaft wall. The cabin speed control 23 is in a view from directly above on the opposite side from the counterweight 3 the cabin 2 arranged. The cabin speed control 23 is in the depth direction of the cabin 2 positioned further forward than the first cabin guide rail 4 .

[0036] In Fig. 1 are counterweight positions 3 and the counterweight suspension disc 21 , when the cabin 2 with an estimated maximum speed to a bottom section of the shaft 1 descends and the counterweight 3 rising, represented by dash-dotted lines. The counterweight velocity control. 24 is higher than the position of the counterweight 3arranged when the counterweight rises. In particular, the counterweight velocity control. 24 positioned higher than the upper end of a frame body of the counterweight 3 , when the counterweight 3 rises.

[0037] At least one section of the counterweight velocity control 24 is arranged so that it is connected to the counterweight suspension disc 21 is aligned when the counterweight 3 rises.

[0038] At least one section of the counterweight velocity control 24 is in a view from directly above between the first counterweight guide rail 6 and the cabin 2 at an identical position with the first counterweight guide rail 6 in the lateral direction of the counterweight 3 , that is, in Fig. 2 arranged in a vertical direction.

[0040] The counterweight speed control 24 is lower than the lifting machine 12 arranged. The lifting machine 12 In a view from directly above, it partially overlaps with the counterweight velocity control. 24 In this example, one foot section overlaps. 16 the lifting machine 12 partially with counterweight velocity control 24 , as in Fig. 2 is shown.

[0041] The counterweight speed control 24features a counterweight speed control disc 24a and a rope trap (not shown). A counterweight speed control rope. 26 is around the counterweight speed control disc 24a guided.

[0042] The counterweight speed control rope 26 is equipped with the counterweight safety device 25 connected in such a way that it forms a loop inside the shaft 1 is installed. A tension disc 27 is in a lower section of the shaft 1 arranged. The counterweight speed control rope 26 is around the tension disc 27 guided.

[0043] If the counterweight 3 As it rises and descends, the counterweight speed control rope moves 26 in a circle. The counterweight speed control disc 24aIt therefore rotates at a speed that matches the speed of movement of the counterweight. 3 corresponds.

[0044] If a downward velocity of the counterweight 3 When an overspeed is reached, the counterweight speed control rope is activated. 26 gripped by the rope trap, causing a circular movement of the counterweight speed control rope. 26 is stopped. The counterweight safety device 25 This activates and the counterweight 3 performs an emergency stop.

[0045] In a machine-room-less elevator of this type, the counterweight speed control 24 higher than the position of the counterweight 3 arranged when the counterweight rises. At least one section of the counterweight velocity control. 24 is between the first counterweight guide rail 6 and the cabin2 in an identical position as the first counterweight guide rail 6 in the lateral direction of the counterweight 3 arranged and is in an identical position to a section of the suspension body when viewed from directly above. 18 between the drive pulley 13 and the counterweight suspension disc 21 in a direction perpendicular to the lateral direction of the counterweight 3 is arranged. Therefore, a widening of the flat dimensions of the shaft is possible. 1 by using space within the shaft more efficiently 1 suppressed to control the counterweight velocity 24 to order.

[0046] The lifting machine 12 In a view from directly above, it partially overlaps with the counterweight velocity control. 24Therefore, even if there is no installation space for the counterweight speed control 24 next to the lifting machine 12 There is an installation space that can be secured.

[0047] At least one section of the counterweight velocity control 24 is arranged so that it is connected to the counterweight suspension disc 21 is aligned when the counterweight rises. Therefore, the height of the counterweight speed control can be adjusted. 24 This reduces maintenance requirements.

[0048] Furthermore, the counterweight can 3 alternatively in the depth direction of the cabin 2 further forward than the second cabin guide rail 5 be arranged.

[0049] The first and second cabin suspension disc 19 and 20 can alternatively be located on an upper section of the cabin 2 be arranged.

[0050] Additionally, the first and second cabin suspension discs can be 19 and 20 alternatively, it can be arranged so that the suspension body 18 the floor or the upper part of the cabin 2 diagonally crosses.

[0051] Furthermore, the lifting zone of the counterweight can 3 in a view from the entry / exit, alternatively behind the lifting zone of the cabin 2 be.
