Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to elevators, and more particularly to elevators traction by motor drives. [Background technology]

[0002] In order to meet the traction force needs in the application scenario of lifting a large load and running at high speed, and to ensure that the traction rope has a sufficient service life, elevators generally use a traction rope with a large diameter. According to the requirement of 5.5.2 in the Chinese elevator standard GB / T 7588.1-2020, the ratio (D / d) between the pitch circle diameter D of the traction sheave of the hoisting wheel, pulley, reel, etc. and the diameter d of the traction rope (suspension wire rope) must be 40 or more. Therefore, after using a traction rope with a large diameter, it is necessary to use a traction sheave with a large pitch circle diameter correspondingly, so that the motor drive device must output a large torque.

[0003] In order to output a large torque, the motor drive device achieves this by increasing the size and volume of the motor. For example, Chinese Patent Publication CN100335400C discloses a motor drive device in which the rotor of the motor directly drives the sheave, and in order to output a large torque, the diameter of the rotor mounting part is made larger than that of the sheave, which increases the size and volume of the motor, and further increases the size and volume of the motor drive device.

[0004] As the size and volume of a motor drive device increases, it becomes more difficult to manufacture the components of the motor drive device. In addition, an enlarged motor drive device occupies a lot of space at the site where the elevator is used, which brings about many difficulties in transporting, installing, and maintaining the elevator at the site. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide an elevator to be pulled by a motor drive, which uses a miniaturized motor drive to output a large torque, and uses a large-diameter traction sheave and a large-diameter traction rope to improve the traction force of the traction rope, thereby meeting the needs of the application scenario of lifting a large load and running at a high speed. The use of a miniaturized motor drive not only reduces the occupied space and facilitates transportation, installation, and maintenance, but also brings great convenience to the manufacturing of components, saves raw materials, reduces the processing and assembly time, and reduces the manufacturing cost of components.
