[0140] The lower ends of the first link bar (1210a) and the second link bar (1210b) can be connected to one side link support member (1220a) inserted into the first link support insertion portion (1331a) of the first link guide member (1230a).

[0141] In addition, the upper portions of the first link bar (1210a) and the second link bar (1210b) can be connected to the other side link support portions (1220b) inserted into the second link support portion insertion portions (1331b) of the second link guide portions (1230b) arranged on both sides of the first link guide portion (1230a), respectively.

[0142] That is, the other side link support member (1220b) is inserted into the second link guide member (1230b) arranged on both sides of the first link guide member (1230a), and the guide is moved so that the first cover plate (1110a) and the second cover plate (1110b) slide in both directions.

[0143] In addition, the link guide member (1230) includes a third link guide member (not shown) identical to the first link guide member (1230a) and a fourth link guide member (not shown) identical to the second link guide member (1230b), and the first link guide member (1230a) and the third link guide member (not shown) are arranged adjacent to each other, and the second link guide member (1230b) and the fourth link guide member can be arranged to extend to both sides with the first link guide member (1230a) and the third link guide member (not shown) as the center, respectively.

[0144] The link body (1240) is raised and lowered in the ascending direction of the elevator car and moves the link bar (1210).

[0145] The link body (1240) is supported by an elevator car (illustrated as 3310 in FIG. 5) and can move the link bar (1210) while being raised and lowered.

[0146] To this end, the link body (1240) may be placed on the upper part of the elevator structure in a state lowered by the length of the link bar (1210) and may be placed adjacent to the elevator shaft through which the elevator car moves.

[0147] Additionally, a car support member (not shown) may be formed on the link body (1240) to support the elevator.

[0148] The elevator cover system according to the present invention can be applied to elevators of mobility including urban air mobility as well as air mobility.

[0149]

[0150] Figure 3 is a schematic diagram of the elevator cover system shown in Figure 1 in use.

[0151] As shown, the elevator cover system (1000) is illustrated with the link body (1240) raised to the rooftop (R).

[0152] More specifically, when an elevator rises to the rooftop to transport urban air mobility to the rooftop, which is a landing pad, the link body (1240) can be supported by the elevator car and raised to the rooftop.

[0153] At this time, in conjunction with the rise of the link body (1240), the lower portions of the first link bar (1210a) and the second link bar (1210b) rise, and the upper portions of the first link bar (1210a) and the second link bar (1210b) move horizontally to both sides.

[0154] In addition, one-side link support (1220a) connected to each of the first link bar (1210a) and the second link bar (1210b) can be guided upward by the first link support insertion portion (1231a) of the first link guide member (1230a), as shown in FIG. 2.

[0155] Accordingly, the other side link support member (1220b) to which the upper portions of the first link bar (1210a) and the second link bar (1210b) are respectively connected is guided by the second link support member insertion member (1231b) of the second link guide member (1230b) and slides to both sides.

[0156] In addition, the first cover plate (1110a) and the second cover plate (1110b), to which the upper portions of the first link bar (1210a) and the second link bar (1210b) are respectively connected, slide horizontally to open the opening (O) of the elevator shaft.

[0157] Meanwhile, when the link body (1240) is not supported by the elevator car as the elevator car descends, the link body (1240) may be lowered by its own weight or a separate weight structure, thereby closing the opening (O) of the hoistway.

[0158]

[0159] FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram illustrating an elevator cover system according to a second embodiment of the present invention.

[0160] The elevator cover system (2000) is different from the elevator cover system (1000) illustrated in FIG. 1 only in the shape of the cover structure.

[0161] As shown, the elevator cover system (2000) includes a cover structure (2100) and a link structure (2200).

[0162] More specifically, the link structure (2200) is identical to the link structure (1200) of the elevator cover system (1000), and a detailed description thereof is omitted as described above.

[0163] The cover structure (2100) includes a cover plate (2110) and a cover support (2120).

[0164] The cover plate (2110) includes a first cover plate (2110a) and a second cover plate (2110b), and the first cover plate (2110a) and the second cover plate (2110b) may be formed as a pair that is symmetrical to each other.

[0165] Plate joints corresponding to each other can be formed on the opposing surfaces of the first cover plate (2110a) and the second cover plate (2110b).

[0166] As an example of this, a joining groove (2111a) may be formed in the first cover plate (2110a), and a joining protrusion (2111b) corresponding to the joining groove (2111a) may be formed in the second cover plate (2110b).

[0167] And when the first cover plate (2110a) and the second cover plate (2110b) move toward the center of the opening to close the opening of the elevator structure, the joining projection (2111b) of the second cover plate (2110b) is inserted into the joining groove (2111a) of the first cover plate (2110a).

[0168] The cover support (2120) is intended to support the horizontal movement of the cover plate (2110) and is embedded in the roof (R).

[0169] When the cover plate (2110) is horizontally moved to the upper part of the cover support member (2120), the cover plate (2110) can be placed on the same plane as the rooftop (R).

[0170] Additionally, the cover support (2120) may be placed on the same plane as the roof (R).

[0171] The cover support (2120) includes a first cover support (2120a) and a second cover support (2120b), and the first cover support (2120a) and the second cover support (2120b) are arranged on both sides of the opening.

[0172] A first slide groove (2121a) may be formed in the first cover support (2120a), and a second slide groove (2121b) may be formed in the second cover support (2120b).

[0173] A first insertion protrusion (2112a) corresponding to a first slide groove (2121a) may be formed on the first cover plate (2110a), and a second insertion protrusion (2112b) corresponding to a second slide groove (2121b) may be formed on the second cover plate (2110b).

[0174] The first insertion protrusion (2112a) of the first cover plate (2110a) is inserted into the first slide groove (2121a) of the first cover support (2120a), and the second insertion protrusion (2112b) of the second cover plate (2110b) is inserted into the second slide groove (2121b) of the second cover support (2120b) to slide.

[0175] Accordingly, the cover structure (2100) can be implemented with a more robust structure.

[0176] Ultimately, the elevator cover system (2000) according to the second embodiment of the present invention can cover the opening of the elevator shaft more reliably through the joint structure of the cover plate (2110), and the inflow of foreign substances such as rainwater is more reliably blocked.

[0177]

[0178] FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram of an elevator cover system according to a third embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 6 is a schematic diagram of the elevator cover system shown in FIG. 5 in use.

[0179] The elevator cover system (3000) opens and closes the opening of the hoistway when the link body is supported by the elevator car and raised, and when the elevator is lowered, the link body is lowered by its own weight or a separate weight structure.

[0180] More specifically, FIG. 5 illustrates a state in which the elevator car (3310) is raised from a lowered state and comes into contact with the link body (3240), and FIG. 6 is a state diagram in which the elevator car (3310) is raised to the rooftop.

[0181] The elevator cover system (3000) further includes an elevator module in addition to the elevator cover system (1000) illustrated in FIG. 1.

[0182] As illustrated, the elevator cover system (3000) includes a cover structure (3100), a link structure (3200), and an elevator module (3300).

[0183] The cover structure (3100) and the link structure (3200) are the same as the cover structure (1100) and the link structure (1200) illustrated in FIG. 1, and a detailed description thereof will be omitted as described above.

[0184] The elevator module (3300) includes an elevator car (3310) and an elevator drive unit (3320).

[0185] The elevator drive unit (3320) is for raising and lowering the elevator car (3310).

[0186] The elevator drive unit (3320) includes a drive motor (3321), a drive sheave (3322), a weight (3323), a rope (3324), a cashew (3325), and a rope end (3326).

[0187] The drive motor (3321) is installed at the top of the elevator shaft and provides driving force to elevate the elevator car (3310).

[0188] The drive motor (3321) rotates the drive sheave (3220) supported by the rope (3324) to raise and lower the elevator car (3310).

[0189] A drive sheave (3322) is coupled to the drive motor (3321).

[0190] The cab (3325) is connected to the elevator car (3310) and supports the rope (3324) that elevates the elevator car (3310).

[0191] The rope (3324) is supported by the drive sheave (3322) and the cassette (3325). One end of the rope (3324) supports the weight (3323), and the other end of the rope (3324) can be connected to the rope end (3326).

[0192] The elevator drive unit (3320) may further include a weight end (not shown) positioned adjacent to the drive motor (3321).

[0193] In this case, a weight sheave (not shown) is coupled to the weight, a rope is supported on the weight sheave, and the other end of the rope (3324) can be coupled to the weight end.

[0194] A link body support member (3311) for supporting a link body (3240) may be formed in the elevator car (3310).

[0195] The link body support (3311) can be formed to protrude toward the link body (3240) so that the link body (3240) is supported.

[0196] Additionally, the link body support (3311) can be formed as a link body mounting portion on which the link body (3240) is mounted.

[0197] The drive motor (3321) and rope end (3326) can be installed at the upper part of the elevator shaft, which is the lower part of the roof.

[0198] The elevator cover system (3000) according to the third embodiment of the present invention is configured as described above, and when the elevator car (3310) of the elevator module (3300) is raised by the elevator driving unit (3320), the link body (3240) is supported by the elevator car (3310) and is raised.

[0199] In conjunction with the rise of the link body (3240), the cover plate (3110) of the cover structure (3100) slides horizontally to open the opening (O) of the elevator shaft.

[0200] In addition, when the elevator car (3310) descends, the link body (3240) descends by its own weight, and in conjunction with this, the cover plate (3110) closes the opening (O) of the elevator structure.

[0201] Meanwhile, in order to more efficiently implement the lowering of the cover plate (3110) and the closing of the opening of the cover plate, a separate weight (not shown) may be connected to the link body (3240) by a rope (not shown).

[0202] In addition, the elevator cover system according to the third embodiment of the present invention can combine an elevator module with the elevator cover system (2000) illustrated in FIG. 4.

[0203]

[0204] Figure 7 is a schematic diagram illustrating an elevator cover system according to a fourth embodiment of the present invention.

[0205] The elevator cover system (4000) has a link bar directly connected to the elevator car, and a cover plate that slides in direct connection with the ascent and descent of the elevator car to open and close the opening of the elevator structure.

[0206] For this purpose, the elevator cover system (4000) is different from the elevator cover system (3000) illustrated in FIG. 5 only in the link bar and link body.

[0207] As illustrated, the elevator cover system (4000) includes a cover structure (4100), a link structure (4200), and an elevator module (4300).

[0208] More specifically, the cover structure (4100) is identical to the cover structure (3100), and a detailed description thereof is omitted as described above.

[0209] The link structure (4200) includes a link bar (4210), a link support member (4220), and a link guide member (not shown). The link support member (4220) and the link guide member (not shown) are identical to the link support member (1220) and the link guide member (1230), and a detailed description thereof is omitted as described above.

[0210] The link bar (4210) may include a first link bar (4210a) and a second link bar (4210b).

[0211] One end of the first link bar (4210a) and the second link bar (4210b) may be rotatably connected to the elevator car (4310) by a link support member (4220), and the other end of the first link bar (4210a) and the second link bar (4210b) may be rotatably connected to the first cover plate (4110a) and the second cover plate (4110b), respectively, by the link support member (4220).

[0212] The first link bar (4210a) and the second link bar (4210b) may each be implemented as foldable link bars that can be folded and unfolded. To this end, the first link bar (4210a) and the second link bar may include a plurality of link connecting bars.

[0213] FIG. 7 is an example of this, wherein the first link bar (4210a) includes a first link connection bar (4211a), a second link connection bar (4212a), a third link connection bar (4213a), and a fourth link connection bar (4214a), and the second link bar (4210b) includes a first link connection bar (4211b), a second link connection bar (4212b), a third link connection bar (4213b), and a fourth link connection bar (4214b).

[0214] The elevator cover system (4000) is configured as described above, and when the elevator car (4310) rises, the first link bar (4210a) and the second link bar (4210b) are folded in such a manner that a link connecting bar is inserted, and when fully folded, the first link bar (4210a) and the second link bar (4210b) are guided to move horizontally, causing the first cover plate (4110a) and the second cover plate (4110b) to slide horizontally, and the opening of the hoistway is opened.

[0215] Next, when the elevator car (4310) descends, the first cover plate (4110a) and the second cover plate (4110b) slide horizontally, so that the opening of the elevator structure is closed.

[0216] And when the elevator car (4310) continues to descend toward the lower floor of the hangar or the lower floor of the elevator structure, the link bodies of the first link bar (4210a) and the second link bar (4210b) are sequentially unfolded.

[0217] Accordingly, the elevator cover system (4000) can be implemented with a simpler structure.

[0218]

[0219] Figure 8 is a schematic diagram illustrating an embodiment in which an elevator cover system according to the present invention is applied to a vertiport.

[0220] As shown, more specifically, the vertiport charging system can be applied to a vertiport, a vertical takeoff and landing airfield, which is a takeoff and landing pad for urban air mobility.

[0221] A vertiport may include a takeoff area, a landing area, and a hangar.

[0222] A vertiport (10) can be constructed on the roof of a building.

[0223] In addition, the hangar (13) of the buttiport (10) is made of two floors, and the takeoff area (11) and the landing area (12) can be selectively located on the roof of the building or the roof of the hangar, respectively.

[0224] The urban air mobility (100) can be moved to and from the landing pad (12), hangar (13) and takeoff pad (11) by an elevator module (1300), and can be parked in the hangar (P).

[0225] When the elevator car of the elevator module (1300) is not positioned above the vertiport (10), the cover plate (1110) closes the opening of the elevator shaft.

[0226] When the elevator car moves to the rooftop (R) of the vertiport, which is the upper part of the vertiport (10), the cover plate (1110) slides horizontally to open the opening of the hoistway, as shown in Fig. 6.

[0227]

[0228] Figure 9 is a schematic diagram illustrating an elevator cover system according to a fifth embodiment of the present invention.

[0229] The elevator of the present invention is intended to transport urban air mobility to the rooftop of a building. That is, it is intended to vertically transport urban air mobility to and from a takeoff or landing pad located on the rooftop of a building and a hangar located inside the building.

[0230] In the present invention, the elevator may be called an urban air mobility elevator.

[0231] Elevators are designed to elevate urban air mobility vehicles. For example, if the takeoff, landing, and hangar of an urban air mobility system are located on different levels, an urban air mobility elevator would vertically elevate the urban air mobility system for operation.

[0232] Meanwhile, the elevator structure in which the elevator is installed has a shaft formed where the elevator car runs, and the upper part of the shaft is formed as an open part to transport urban air mobility to the rooftop.

[0233] The elevator cover system (5000) is for selectively opening and closing the opening of the elevator shaft in conjunction with the movement of an elevator equipped with urban air mobility.

[0234] That is, when an elevator is raised to the rooftop for transporting urban air mobility, the elevator cover system (5000) opens the opening of the elevator shaft in conjunction with the movement of the elevator.

[0235] Additionally, when the elevator descends, the elevator cover system (5000) closes the opening of the hoistway.

[0236] The elevator cover system (5000) includes a cover structure (5100) and a linkage structure (5200).

[0237] More specifically, the cover structure (5100) is linked to the movement of the linkage structure (5200) to open and close the opening of the elevator shaft (illustrated as “O” in FIG. 10).

[0238] The cover structure (5100) includes a cover plate (5110) and a cover case (5120).

[0239] The cover plate (5110) is connected to the linkage structure (5200) and is linked to the movement of the linkage structure (5200).

[0240] The cover plate (5110) may be positioned to correspond to the opening and may be formed to a size capable of covering the opening.

[0241] The cover plate (5110) can be supported on the cover case (5120) so as to slide in a direction orthogonal to the ascending and descending direction of the elevator.

[0242] The cover plate (5110) includes a first cover plate (5110a) and a second cover plate (5110b), and the first cover plate (5110a) and the second cover plate (5110b) may be a pair that are symmetrical to each other.

[0243] The first cover plate (5110a) and the second cover plate (5110b) are each coupled with rack gears (5111a, 5111b) for linking with the linkage structure (1200).

[0244] The first cover plate (5110a) and the second cover plate (5110b) are arranged on the same side and can be arranged on both sides with respect to the center of the opening. That is, the first cover plate (5110a) and the second cover plate (5110b) can be supported on the cover case (5120) so as to be able to slide in opposite directions with respect to the center of the opening.

[0245] The first cover plate (5110a) and the second cover plate (5110b) can open the opening by sliding in opposite directions, and the first cover plate (5110a) and the second cover plate (5110b) can close the opening of the elevator structure by moving toward the center of the opening.

[0246] The cover case (5120) is for guiding and supporting the cover plate (5110) to enable sliding movement of the cover plate (5110).

[0247] The cover case (5120) includes a first cover case (5120a) and a second cover case (5120b), and the first cover case (5120a) and the second cover case (5120b) can be placed on both sides of the opening.

[0248] The first cover case (5120a) and the second cover case (5120b) may each be formed with a cover plate receiving portion (5121a, 5121b) into which the first cover plate (5110a) and the second cover plate (5110b) are inserted or withdrawn.

[0249] Additionally, the first cover case (5120a) and the second cover case (5120b) can be each embedded in the rooftop (R) and arranged on the same plane as the rooftop.

[0250] Accordingly, the elevator cover system does not protrude from the roof surface, ensuring safety when urban air mobility takes off or lands.

[0251] The linkage structure (5200) includes a linkage body (5210), a first rotating part (5220), a belt (5230), and a second rotating part (5240).

[0252] The linkage body (5210) is raised and lowered in the direction of movement of the elevator car and rotates the first rotating part (5220).

[0253] To this end, the linkage body (5210) is placed on the upper part of the elevator shaft in a state where it is lowered by the length that the cover plate (5110) moves by the rotation of the second rotating part (5230), and can be placed adjacent to the elevator shaft.

[0254] A rack gear (5211) that is engaged with a first rotating part (5220) is coupled to the linkage body (5210).

[0255] The rack gear (5211) can be coupled to both sides of the linkage body (5210).

[0256] A first pinion (5221) and a first belt coupling (5222) are formed in the first rotary part (5220).

[0257] The first pinion (5221) is engaged with the rack gear (5211) of the linkage body (5210), and a belt (5230) is supported on the belt coupling portion (5222).

[0258] The second rotating part (5240) is for moving the cover plate (5110) in conjunction with the lifting and lowering of the linkage body (5210).

[0259] A second pinion (5241) and a second belt coupling (5242) are formed in the second rotating part (5240).

[0260] The second pinion (5241) is engaged with the rack gears (5111a, 5111b) of the first cover plate (5110a) and the second cover plate (5110b), respectively, and a belt (5230) is supported by the second belt coupling portion (5222).

[0261] The belt (5230) is intended to transmit the rotational force of the first rotating part (5220) to the second rotating part (5240). To this end, one side of the belt (5230) is supported by the first belt coupling part (5222) of the first rotating part (5220), and the other side is supported by the second belt coupling part (5242) of the second rotating part (5240).

[0262] In order to move the cover plate (5110) accurately, the belt (5230) may be made of a time belt, and the first belt coupling portion (5222) and the second belt coupling portion (5242) may be made of a time belt pulley.

[0263] As described above, the elevator cover system (5000) is configured such that the first pinion (5221) of the first rotating part (5220) is engaged with the rack gears (5211) on both sides of the linkage body (5210), one side of the belt (5230) is supported on the first rotating part (5220), the other side of the belt (5230) is supported on the second rotating part (5240), and the rack gears (5111a, 5111b) of the first cover plate (5110a) and the second cover plate (5110b) are engaged with the second pinion (5241) of the second rotating part (5240), respectively.

[0264] The elevator cover system according to the present invention can be applied to elevators of mobility including urban air mobility as well as air mobility.

[0265]

[0266] Figure 10 is a schematic diagram of the elevator cover system shown in Figure 5 in use.

[0267] As shown, the elevator cover system (5000) is shown in a state where the opening is opened while the linkage body (5210) rises.

[0268] When the linkage body (5210) rises, the first rotating part (5220) engaged with the rack gear (5211) of the linkage body (5210) rotates.

[0269] The belt (5230) is linked to the rotation of the first rotating part (5220), and the second rotating part (5240) is linked to the movement of the belt (5230).

[0270] In conjunction with the rotation of the second rotating part (5240), the first cover plate (1110a) and the second cover plate (5110b) slide horizontally to open the opening (O) of the elevator shaft.

[0271]

[0272] Fig. 11 is a schematic diagram illustrating an elevator cover system according to a sixth embodiment of the present invention.

[0273] The elevator cover system (6000) is different from the elevator cover system (5000) illustrated in FIG. 9 only in the shape of the cover structure.

[0274] As shown, the elevator cover system (6000) includes a cover structure (6100) and an interlocking structure (6200).

[0275] More specifically, the linkage structure (6200) is identical to the linkage structure (5200) of the elevator cover system (5000), and a detailed description thereof is omitted.

[0276] The cover structure (6100) includes a cover plate (6110) and a cover support (6120).

[0277] The cover plate (6110) includes a first cover plate (6110a) and a second cover plate (6110b), and the first cover plate (6110a) and the second cover plate (6110b) may be formed as a pair that is symmetrical to each other.

[0278] The first cover plate (6110a) and the second cover plate (6110b) have corresponding plate joints formed on opposite surfaces.

[0279] As an example of this, a joining groove (6112a) may be formed in the first cover plate (6110a), and a joining protrusion (6112b) corresponding to the joining groove (6111a) may be formed in the second cover plate (6110b).

[0280] And when the first cover plate (6110a) and the second cover plate (6110b) move toward the center of the opening to close the opening of the elevator shaft, the engaging projection (6112b) of the second cover plate (6110b) is inserted into the engaging groove (6112a) of the first cover plate (6110a).

[0281] Rack gears (6111a, 6111b) are coupled to the first cover plate (6210a) and the second cover plate (6210b).

[0282] The cover support (6120) is intended to support the horizontal movement of the cover plate (6110) and is embedded in the roof (R).

[0283] When the cover plate (6110) is horizontally moved to the upper part of the cover support member (6120), the cover plate (6110) can be placed on the same plane as the rooftop (R).

[0284] Additionally, the cover support (6120) may be placed on the same plane as the roof (R).

[0285] The cover support (6120) includes a first cover support (6120a) and a second cover support (6120b), and the first cover support (6120a) and the second cover support (6120b) are arranged on both sides of the opening.

[0286] A first slide groove (6121a) may be formed in the first cover support (6120a), and a second slide groove (6121b) may be formed in the second cover support (6120b).

[0287] A first insertion protrusion (6113a) corresponding to the first slide groove (6121a) may be formed on the first cover plate (6210a), and a second insertion protrusion (6113b) corresponding to the second slide groove (6121b) may be formed on the second cover plate (6210b).

[0288] The first insertion protrusion (6113a) of the first cover plate (6210a) is inserted into the first slide groove (6121a) of the first cover support (6120a), and the second insertion protrusion (6113b) of the second cover plate (6210b) is inserted into the second slide groove (6121b) of the second cover support (6120b) to slide.

[0289] Accordingly, the cover structure (6100) can be implemented with a more robust structure.

[0290] Ultimately, the elevator cover system (6000) according to the sixth embodiment of the present invention can cover the opening of the elevator shaft more reliably through the joint structure of the cover plate (6110), and the inflow of foreign substances such as rainwater is more reliably blocked.

[0291]

[0292] Fig. 12 is a schematic diagram of an elevator cover system according to a seventh embodiment of the present invention, and Fig. 13 is a schematic diagram of the elevator cover system shown in Fig. 12 in use.

[0293] The elevator cover system can open and close the opening of the elevator structure as the link body is supported by the elevator and raised, and the link body is lowered by its own weight or weight.

[0294] To this end, the elevator cover system (7000) further includes an elevator module in the elevator cover system (5000) illustrated in FIG. 9.

[0295] As illustrated, the elevator cover system (7000) includes a cover structure (7100), an interlocking structure (7200), and an elevator module (7300).

[0296] The cover structure (7100) and the linkage structure (7200) are the same as the cover structure (5100) and the linkage structure (5200) illustrated in FIG. 9, and a detailed description thereof will be omitted as described above.

[0297] The elevator module (7300) includes an elevator car (7310) and an elevator drive unit (7320).

[0298] The elevator drive unit (7320) includes a drive motor (7321), a drive sheave (7322), a weight (7323), a rope (7324), a cashew (7325), and a rope end (7326).

[0299] The drive motor (7321) is installed at the top of the elevator shaft and provides driving force to elevate the elevator car (7310).

[0300] The drive motor (7321) rotates the drive sheave (7322) supported by the rope (7324) to raise and lower the elevator car (7310).

[0301] A drive sheave (7322) is coupled to the drive motor (7321).

[0302] The cab (7325) is connected to the elevator car (7310) and supports the rope (7324) that elevates the elevator car (7310).

[0303] The rope (7324) is supported by the drive sheave (7322) and the cassette (7325). One end of the rope (7324) supports the weight (7323), and the other end of the rope (7324) can be connected to the rope end (7326).

[0304] The elevator drive unit (7320) may further include a weight end (not shown) positioned adjacent to the drive motor (7321).

[0305] In this case, a weight sheave (not shown) is coupled to the weight, a rope is supported on the weight sheave, and the other end of the rope (3324) can be coupled to the weight end.

[0306] A link body support member (3311) for supporting a link body (7210) may be formed in the elevator car (7310).

[0307] The link body support (7311) can be formed to protrude toward the link body (7210) so that the link body (7210) is supported.

[0308] Additionally, the link body support (7111) can be formed as a link body mounting portion on which the link body is mounted.

[0309] The drive motor (7321) and rope end (7326) can be installed at the upper part of the elevator shaft, which is the lower part of the roof.

[0310] The elevator cover system (7000) according to the seventh embodiment of the present invention is configured as described above, and when the elevator car (7310) of the elevator module (7300) is raised by the elevator driving unit (7320), the linkage body (7210) is raised by the elevator car (7310).

[0311] Linked to the rise of the linkage body (7210), the cover plate (7110) of the cover structure (7100) opens the opening (O) of the elevator shaft.

[0312] In addition, when the elevator car (7310) descends, the linkage body (7210) descends by its own weight, and in conjunction with this, the cover plate (3110) closes the opening (O) of the elevator structure.

[0313] Meanwhile, in order to more efficiently implement the lowering of the cover plate (7110) and the closing of the opening of the cover plate, a separate weight (not shown) may be connected to the linkage body (7210) by a rope (not shown).

[0314] Additionally, the elevator cover system can be combined with an elevator module in the urban elevator cover system (6000) illustrated in FIG. 11.

[0315]

[0316] Fig. 14 is a schematic diagram illustrating an elevator cover system according to the eighth embodiment of the present invention.

[0317] The elevator cover system has a rack gear directly mounted on the elevator car and is directly linked to the elevation of the elevator car, so that the cover plate can slide and open / close the opening of the elevator structure.

[0318] To this end, the elevator cover system (8000) is different from the elevator cover system (6000) illustrated in FIG. 11 only in the technical configuration of the linkage body.

[0319] As illustrated, the elevator cover system (8000) includes a cover structure (8100), an interlocking structure (8200), and an elevator module (8300).

[0320] More specifically, the cover structure (8100) is identical to the cover structure (7100), and a detailed description thereof is omitted as described above.

[0321] The linkage structure (8200) is identical to the linkage structure (7200), except that it does not include a linkage body.

[0322] The elevator module (8300) includes an elevator car (8310) and an elevator drive unit (8320).

[0323] The elevator drive unit (8320) includes a drive motor (8321), a drive sheave (8322), a weight (8323), a rope (8324), a casheve (8325), and a rope end (8326).

[0324] The elevator drive unit (8320) is identical to the elevator drive unit (7320), and a detailed description thereof is omitted as described above.

[0325] A rack gear (8311) can be combined with the elevator car (8310).

[0326] The rack gear (8311) can be optionally meshed with the first pinion (8221) of the first pivot (8220).

[0327] The elevator cover system (8000) is configured as described above, and when the elevator car (8310) rises, the elevator car (8310) engages with the rack gear (4811) to rotate the first rotating part (8220) in the forward direction.

[0328] In conjunction with the rotation of the first rotating part (8220), the first cover plate (8110a) and the second cover plate (8110b) slide horizontally, and the opening part is opened.

[0329] Next, when the elevator car (8310) descends, the first rotating part (8220) rotates in the reverse direction, and the first cover plate (8110a) and the second cover plate (8110b) slide and move, so that the opening is closed.

[0330] Accordingly, the elevator cover system (8000) can be implemented with a simpler structure.

[0331]

[0332] Figure 15 is a schematic diagram illustrating an embodiment in which an elevator cover system according to the present invention is applied to a vertiport.

[0333] As shown, the vertiport charging system can be applied to a vertiport, a vertical takeoff and landing airfield that serves as a takeoff and landing pad for urban air mobility.

[0334] A vertiport (10) may include a takeoff area, a landing area, and a hangar.

[0335] A vertiport (10) can be constructed on the roof of a building.

[0336] In addition, the hangar (13) of the buttiport (10) is made of two floors, and the takeoff area (11) and the landing area (12) can be selectively located on the roof of the building or the roof of the hangar, respectively.

[0337] The urban air mobility (100) can be moved to and from the landing pad (12), hangar (13) and takeoff pad (11) by the elevator module (5300), and can be parked in the hangar (P).

[0338] When the elevator car of the elevator module (1300) is not positioned above the vertiport (10), the cover plate (5110) closes the opening of the elevator shaft.

[0339] When the elevator car moves to the rooftop (R) of the vertiport, which is the upper part of the vertiport (10), the cover plate (5110) slides horizontally to open the opening of the hoistway, as shown in Fig. 13.

[0340]

[0341] Fig. 16 is a schematic diagram illustrating the technical concept of the elevator cover system of the present invention.

[0342] The elevator of the present invention is designed to elevate an aircraft. For example, when the takeoff, landing, and hangar of an aircraft are located on different floors, the elevator vertically elevates the aircraft for operation.

[0343] In the present invention, the elevator may be called an urban air mobility elevator.

[0344] Meanwhile, an elevator shaft is formed in the elevator structure where the elevator is installed, through which an elevator car carrying an air mobility operates, and the upper part of the elevator shaft is formed as an open part to transport the air mobility to the rooftop.

[0345] The elevator cover system (100') is for selectively opening and closing the opening of the elevator shaft in conjunction with the movement of an elevator equipped with air mobility.

[0346] The elevator cover system (100') is intended to forcibly open and close the opening of the elevator shaft regardless of the movement of the elevator equipped with air mobility.

[0347] As shown, the elevator cover system (100') includes a cover structure (110'), a cover driving unit (120'), and a control unit (130').

[0348] More specifically, the cover structure (110') is for opening and closing the opening of the elevator shaft (illustrated as "O" in FIG. 18).

[0349] To this end, the cover structure (110') includes a cover plate and can be implemented as a cover structure of a slide opening / closing type in which the cover plate moves horizontally.

[0350] Additionally, the cover plate can open and close the opening as it rises in the direction of movement of the elevator car.

[0351] The cover driving unit (120') is connected to the cover plate and is intended to provide power to move the cover plate of the cover structure (110').

[0352] The control unit (130') is for controlling the operation of the cover structure (110') and the cover driving unit (120').

[0353] The control unit (130') includes an elevator movement confirmation unit (131'), a forced operation unit (132'), a cover structure operation confirmation unit (133'), and an elevator operation control unit (134').

[0354] The elevator movement confirmation unit (131') confirms whether the elevator car moves to the upper part of the elevator shaft. To this end, the elevator movement confirmation unit (131') may include a position detection sensor that confirms the position of the elevator car.

[0355] The position detection sensor is located at the top of the hoistway, and the position detection sensor can determine whether the elevator car passes through the top of the hoistway and moves to the upper part of the hoistway where an opening is formed.

[0356] In addition, the elevator movement confirmation unit (131') can confirm the operation information of the elevator car through the elevator operation control unit (134'). That is, the elevator movement confirmation unit (131') can confirm through the elevator operation control unit (134) whether the elevator car is moving to the upper part where the opening is formed.

[0357] The forced operation unit (132') is for operating the cover driving unit (120') to open and close the cover structure (110').

[0358] The cover structure operation confirmation unit (133') is for confirming the open / closed state of the cover structure. That is, when the elevator moves toward the upper part of the hoistway, it confirms whether the cover structure is in the open state.

[0359] That is, the cover structure operation confirmation unit (133') is intended to confirm the real-time operation status of the cover structure, as the air mobility may be damaged if the elevator rises while the cover structure is closed.

[0360] The elevator operation control unit (134') checks the operation status of the elevator in real time and uses this to control the operation of the cover structure (110'). In addition, the cover structure operation confirmation unit (133') stops the upward movement of the elevator when the elevator car rises to the roof of the hoistway while the cover structure is not opened.

[0361] The elevator cover system (100') according to the present invention is configured as described above, and confirms whether the elevator car moves to the rooftop, and operates the cover structure to open the opening of the elevator structure.

[0362] Additionally, when the elevator descends, the cover structure is operated to close the opening of the elevator structure.

[0363] Meanwhile, the elevator cover system (100') can forcibly operate the cover structure to open the opening of the hoistway for maintenance of the cover structure and the hoistway, regardless of the movement of the elevator car.

[0364] The elevator cover system according to the present invention can be applied to elevators of mobility including urban air mobility as well as air mobility.

[0365]

[0366] Figure 17 is a schematic diagram illustrating an elevator cover system according to the ninth embodiment of the present invention.

[0367] The elevator cover system (1000') includes a cover structure (1100'), a cover driving unit (1200'), and a control unit.

[0368] More specifically, the cover structure (1100') is operated by the cover driving unit (1200') to open and close the opening of the elevator shaft (illustrated as “O” in FIG. 18).

[0369] The cover structure (1100') includes a cover plate (1110') and a cover case (1120').

[0370] The cover plate (1110') is connected to the cover driving unit (1200') and slides horizontally in response to the operation of the cover driving unit (1200').

[0371] The cover plate (1110') is positioned to correspond to the opening and can be formed to a size that can cover the opening.

[0372] The cover plate (1110') can be supported on the cover case (1120') so as to slide in a direction orthogonal to the ascending direction of the elevator.

[0373] The cover plate (1110') includes a first cover plate (1110a') and a second cover plate (1110b'), and the first cover plate (1110a') and the second cover plate (1110b') may be a pair that are symmetrical to each other.

[0374] The first cover plate (1110a') and the second cover plate (1110b') are each coupled with rack gears (1111a', 1111b') for linking with the cover drive unit (1200').

[0375] The first cover plate (1110a') and the second cover plate (1110b') are arranged on the same surface and can be arranged on both sides with respect to the center of the opening. That is, the first cover plate (1110a') and the second cover plate (1110b') can be supported on the cover case (1120') so as to be able to slide in opposite directions with respect to the center of the opening.

[0376] The first cover plate (1110a') and the second cover plate (1110b') can slide in opposite directions to open the opening, and the first cover plate (1110a') and the second cover plate (1110b') can close the opening of the elevator structure by moving toward the center of the opening.

[0377] The cover case (1120') is for guiding and supporting the cover plate (1110') to enable sliding movement of the cover plate (1110').

[0378] The cover case (1120') includes a first cover case (1120a') and a second cover case (1120b'), and the first cover case (1120a') and the second cover case (1120b') can be placed on both sides of the opening.

[0379] The first cover case (1120a') and the second cover case (1120b') may each be formed with a cover plate receiving portion (1121a', 1121b') into which the first cover plate (1110a') and the second cover plate (1110b') are inserted or withdrawn.

[0380] Additionally, the first cover case (1120a') and the second cover case (1120b') can be each embedded in the rooftop (R) and arranged on the same plane as the rooftop.

[0381] Accordingly, safety can be ensured because the elevator cover system does not protrude from the roof surface.

[0382] The cover driving unit (1200') is for moving the cover plate (1110') to open and close the opening.

[0383] The cover driving unit (1200') includes a driving motor (1210') and a gear unit (1220'). The driving motor (1210') is for providing driving force for horizontal sliding movement of the cover plate (1110').

[0384] The gear motor (1210') is coupled to a gear unit (1220'). The gear unit (1220') is engaged with the rack gears (1111a', 1111b') of the first cover plate (1110a') and the second cover plate (1110b'), respectively.

[0385] The control unit includes a position detection sensor (1310') for checking the movement of the elevator car upward in the hoistway.

[0386] When the elevator car is confirmed to be moving upward toward the rooftop through the position detection sensor (1310'), the cover driving unit (1200') can slide the cover plate (1110') horizontally to open the opening.

[0387]

[0388] Figure 18 is a schematic diagram of the elevator cover system shown in Figure 17.

[0389] As shown, the elevator cover system (1000') shows the elevator raised to the rooftop (R).

[0390] More specifically, the gear unit (1220') is rotated by the operation of the spherical motor (1210') of the cover driving unit (1200'), and the first cover plate (1110a') and the second cover plate (1110b) are slid horizontally by the interlocking of the rack gears (1111a', 1111b') each meshed with the gear unit (1220').

[0391] Accordingly, the opening (O) of the elevator shaft is opened.

[0392]

[0393] FIG. 19 is a schematic diagram illustrating an elevator cover system according to the tenth embodiment of the present invention.

[0394] The elevator cover system (2000') is different from the elevator cover system (1000') illustrated in Fig. 1 only in the shape of the cover structure.

[0395] As shown, the elevator cover system (2000') includes a cover structure (2100') and a cover drive unit (2200').

[0396] More specifically, the cover driving unit (2200') is identical to the cover driving unit (1200') of the elevator cover system (1000'), and a detailed description thereof is omitted as described above.

[0397] The cover structure (2100') includes a cover plate (2110') and a cover support (2120').

[0398] The cover plate (2110') includes a first cover plate (2210a') and a second cover plate (2210b'), and the first cover plate (2210a') and the second cover plate (2210b') may be formed as a pair that is symmetrical to each other.

[0399] The first cover plate (2210a') and the second cover plate (2210b') have corresponding plate joints formed on opposite surfaces.

[0400] As an example of this, a joining groove (2112a') may be formed in the first cover plate (2210a'), and a joining protrusion (2112b') corresponding to the joining groove (2112a') may be formed in the second cover plate (2210b').

[0401] And when the first cover plate (2210a') and the second cover plate (2210b') move toward the center of the opening to close the opening of the elevator structure, the engaging projection (2112b') of the second cover plate (2210b') is inserted into the engaging groove (2112a') of the first cover plate (2210a').

[0402] Rack gears (2111a', 2111b') are coupled to the first cover plate (2210a') and the second cover plate (2210b').

[0403] The cover support (2120') is intended to support the horizontal movement of the cover plate (2110') and is embedded in the roof (R).

[0404] When the cover plate (2110') is horizontally moved to the upper part of the cover support member (2120'), the cover plate (2110') can be placed on the same plane as the rooftop (R).

[0405] Additionally, the cover support (2120') may be placed on the same plane as the roof (R).

[0406] The cover support (2120') includes a first cover support (2120a') and a second cover support (2120b'), and the first cover support (2120a') and the second cover support (2120b') are arranged on both sides of the opening.

[0407] A first slide groove (2121a') may be formed in the first cover support (2120a'), and a second slide groove (2121b') may be formed in the second cover support (2120b').

[0408] A first insertion protrusion (21130a') corresponding to a first slide groove (2121a') may be formed on the first cover plate (2210a'), and a second insertion protrusion (2113b') corresponding to a second slide groove (2121b') may be formed on the second cover plate (2210b').

[0409] The first insertion protrusion (2113a') of the first cover plate (2210a') is inserted into the first slide groove (2121a') of the first cover support (2120a'), and the second insertion protrusion (2113b') of the second cover plate (2210b') is inserted into the second slide groove (2121b') of the second cover support (2120b') to slide.

[0410] Accordingly, the cover structure (2100') can be implemented with a more robust structure.

[0411] Ultimately, the elevator cover system (2000') according to the second embodiment of the present invention can cover the opening of the elevator shaft more reliably through the joint structure of the cover plate (2110'), and the inflow of foreign substances such as rainwater is more reliably blocked.

[0412]

[0413] FIG. 20 is a schematic diagram illustrating an elevator cover system according to the 11th embodiment of the present invention.

[0414] The elevator cover system (3000') includes a cover structure (3100'), a cover driving unit (3200'), and a control unit.

[0415] The cover structure (3100') includes a cover plate (3110') and a support body (3120').

[0416] The cover plate (3110'') is positioned to correspond to the opening, and a support body (3120') is coupled to the lower portion of the cover plate (3110').

[0417] The support body (3120') extends in the ascending direction of the elevator car and is coupled with rack gears (3121') on both sides.

[0418] The cover drive unit (3200') includes a drive motor (3210') and a gear unit (3220').

[0419] The gear unit (3220') is engaged with the rack gear (3121').

[0420] The driving motor (3210') provides driving force to move the cover plate (3110') in the ascending direction of the elevator car.

[0421] The control unit may include a position detection sensor (3310') for checking the movement of the elevator car upward in the hoistway.

[0422] The elevator cover system (3000') according to the third embodiment is configured as described above, and when the elevator car is confirmed to be moving upward toward the rooftop through the position detection sensor (3310'), the cover driving unit (3200') can raise the support body (3120') to open the opening.

[0423]

[0425] The elevator cover system (4000') further includes an elevator module in addition to the elevator cover system (1000') illustrated in FIG. 17.

[0426] As illustrated, the elevator cover system (4000') includes a cover structure (4100'), a cover drive unit (4200'), and an elevator module (4300').

[0427] The cover structure (4100') and the cover driving unit (4200') are the same as the cover structure (1100') and the cover driving unit (1200') illustrated in FIG. 1, and a detailed description thereof will be omitted as described above.

[0428] The elevator module (4300') includes an elevator car (4310') and an elevator drive unit (4320').

[0429] The elevator drive unit (4320') includes a drive motor (4321'), a drive sheave (4322'), a weight (4323'), a rope (4324'), a cashew (4325'), and a rope end (4326').

[0430] The drive motor (4321') is installed at the top of the elevator shaft and provides driving force to elevate the elevator car (4310').

[0431] The drive motor (4321') rotates the drive sheave (432'2) supported by the rope (4324') to raise and lower the elevator car (4310').

[0432] A drive sheave (4322') is coupled to the drive motor (4321').

[0433] The cab (4325') is connected to the elevator car (4310') and supports the rope (4324') that elevates the elevator car (4310').

[0434] The rope (4324') is supported by the drive sheave (4322') and the cassette (4325'). One end of the rope (4324') supports the weight (4323'), and the other end of the rope (4324') can be connected to the rope end (4326').

[0435] The elevator drive unit (4320') may further include a weight end (not shown) positioned adjacent to the drive motor (4321').

[0436] In this case, a weight sheave (not shown) is coupled to the weight, a rope is supported on the weight sheave, and the other end of the rope (4324') can be coupled to the weight end.

[0437] The drive motor (4321') and rope end (4326') can be installed at the upper part of the hoistway, which is below the roof.

[0438] An elevator cover system (4000') according to the 12th embodiment of the present invention is configured as described above, and when an elevator car (4310') of an elevator module (4300') is raised by an elevator driving unit (4320'), when the upward movement of the elevator car toward the roof is confirmed through a position detection sensor (illustrated as 1310' in FIG. 17), the cover driving unit (4200') slides a cover plate (4110') horizontally to open an opening.

[0439] Additionally, when the elevator car (4310') descends, the cover driving unit (4200') closes the opening (O) of the hoistway by the cover plate (3110').
