Description

modular elevator

[0001] The present invention relates to elevator installation technology, and more particularly to modular elevators.

[0002] The conventional elevator construction method involved assembling and installing each component that forms the elevator on site after the steel frame of the building was installed.

[0003] Accordingly, elevator installation on-site takes a significant amount of time, extending the installation period. Furthermore, the risk of safety accidents due to working at heights during elevator installation increases, leading to increased on-site operating costs and a longer installation period.

[0004] In addition, due to the special nature of elevator installation, elevator installation work on site is mainly carried out vertically, and since vertical work cannot be carried out simultaneously in the up and down directions, the construction schedule may be delayed.

[0005] Modular elevators are being developed to solve this problem, but when multiple elevator modules are combined, there is a problem of a gap in the rails, i.e., a gap in the rails, occurring between each elevator module.

[0006] In addition, once the rail is fixed, there is a problem in that it is difficult to adjust the alignment of the rail even if the alignment error of the rail is confirmed due to the joining tolerance that occurs when multiple elevator modules are joined.

[0007] The present invention provides a modular elevator capable of adjusting the step of a rail when a plurality of elevator modules are coupled by selectively adjusting the coupling force of the rail using a rail fixing structure.

[0008] The present invention is to improve the bonding force of a rail coupled to an elevator module by increasing the contact surface of the rail using a rail fixing structure.

[0041]

[0042] FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram illustrating a modular elevator according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0043] As shown, the modular elevator (1000) includes a plurality of elevator modules (1000a, 1000b, 1000c).

[0044] The plurality of elevator modules (1000a, 1000b, 1000c) may include a top-floor elevator module (1000a), a middle-floor elevator module (1000b), and a bottom-floor elevator module (1000c).

[0045] A machine room (1000a1) in which a traction machine, control panel, inverter, etc. are placed can be constructed in the top floor elevator module (1000a). The lower floor elevator module (1000c) is a pit module and can be constructed to be inserted into the ground.

[0046] The lower floor elevator module (1000c) can have a buffer and pit screen (1000c1) placed on it.

[0047] The middle floor elevator module (1000b) is located between the top floor elevator module (1000a) and the bottom floor elevator module (1000c).

[0048] The intermediate elevator module (1000b) may include a plurality of intermediate elevator modules (1100).

[0049] A plurality of intermediate floor elevator modules (1100) can be connected to a building module (2000) corresponding to each floor.

[0050] And a plurality of intermediate elevator modules (1100) and building modules (2000) can be combined in a combined state in the stacking direction (V).

[0051] A plurality of intermediate elevator modules (1100) may include a rail section (1110) that guides the operation of the elevator car.

[0052] The rail section (1110) can be coupled to the top elevator module (1000a) and the middle elevator module (1000b) via the rail fixing structure (1200).

[0053] The rail section (1110) may include a plurality of unit rail sections (1110a, see FIG. 2), and the unit rail sections (1110a) may be respectively coupled to the top floor elevator module (1000a) and the middle floor elevator module (1000b).

[0054] That is, the unit rail section (1110a) can be respectively connected to the frame structure (1120) of a plurality of intermediate elevator modules (1100).

[0055]

[0056] *The rail fixing structure (1200) can perform the function of fixing the rail portion (1110) and the function of adjusting the step of the rail portion (1110).

[0057] That is, when a rail section (1110) is fixed to each of a plurality of intermediate elevator modules (1100) using a rail fixing structure (1200) and the plurality of intermediate elevator modules (1100) are combined in a stacking direction, the unit rail sections (1110a) of adjacent elevator modules do not come into contact and a gap in the step may be formed.

[0058] In this case, the rail fixing structure (1200) adjusts the bonding force of the rail portion (1110) coupled to the elevator module to move the rail portion (1110) in the stacking direction (V) so that the rail portion (1110) of the adjacent elevator module comes into contact, and then fixes the rail portion (1110) to the elevator module again to adjust the step.

[0059] Additionally, the plurality of intermediate elevator modules (1100) may include a rail adjustment structure (1300) coupled to the boundary of adjacent elevator modules with respect to the stacking direction (V).

[0060] The rail adjustment structure (1300) can be respectively coupled to the rail sections (1110) of a plurality of adjacent intermediate elevator modules (1100).

[0061] The rail adjustment structure (1300) can adjust the alignment of the rail portion (1110) by being pressurized and coupled to the rail portion (1110) located at the boundary of a plurality of intermediate elevator modules (1100).

[0062] When the alignment of the rail part (1110) is adjusted by the rail adjustment structure (1300), the coupling force of the rail part (1110) coupled to the elevator module through the rail fixing structure (1200) can be adjusted, and the alignment of the rail part (1110) can be adjusted while the movement displacement is possible.

[0063]

[0064] Hereinafter, the technical configuration, detailed shape, and organic joint structure of the rail fixing structure will be described in more detail with reference to FIGS. 2 to 5.

[0065]

[0066] FIG. 2 is a first schematic diagram illustrating a rail fixing structure in the modular elevator illustrated in FIG. 1, and FIG. 3 is a second schematic diagram illustrating a rail fixing structure in the modular elevator illustrated in FIG. 1.

[0067] More specifically, FIG. 2 is a schematic front perspective view, and FIG. 3 is a schematic rear perspective view. As illustrated, each of the plurality of intermediate elevator modules (1100) includes a unit rail section (1110a).

[0068] That is, the rail section (1110) may include a plurality of unit rail sections (1110a).

[0069] The unit rail section (1110a) may include a rail (1111a) protruding forward and a rail plate (1112a) coupled to the back surface of the rail.

[0070] The rail (1111a) and the rail plate (1112a) can be formed integrally.

[0071] The cross-section of the unit rail portion (1110a) may be formed as a whole in a shape in which "one end is horizontally wide and narrows from the center to the other end." Alternatively, the unit rail portion (1110a) may have a structure in which "one end is horizontally wide and gradually narrows from the center to the other end." Alternatively, a shape in which "one part is wide like a horizontal line and narrows from the center to the other end" may be applied to the unit rail portion (1110a).

[0072] For example, the cross-section of the rail (1111a) and the rail plate (1112a) may be formed as a whole in the shape of “ㅗ”.

[0073] The unit rail section (1110a) can be fixed to be spaced apart in one direction with respect to the frame structure (1120) of the modular elevator (1000).

[0074] For this purpose, the rail fixing structure (1200) includes a rail clip portion (1210) and a support bracket (1220).

[0075] The support bracket (1220) is for fixing and supporting the unit rail portion (1110a) to the frame structure (1120). One side of the support bracket (1220) is coupled to the frame structure (1120), and the unit rail portion (1110a) is coupled to the other side of the support bracket (1220).

[0076] The support bracket (1220) includes a rail support portion (1221), a frame joint portion (1222), and a connecting bracket (1223).

[0077] The rail support member (1221) can be formed in a plate shape to support the rear of the unit rail member (1110a).

[0078] The frame joint (1222) is for joining to the frame structure (1120) of the modular elevator (1000). The frame joint (1222) may be formed in a plate shape.

[0079] The frame joint (1222) can be mounted on the frame structure (1120) to stably support the unit rail (1110a).

[0080] The connecting bracket (1223) connects the rail support (1221) and the frame joint (1222).

[0081] The connecting bracket (1223) and the rail support (1221) can be formed integrally.

[0082] A first clip coupling hole (1221a in FIG. 4) and a second clip coupling hole (1221b in FIG. 4) for coupling a rail clip portion (1210) may be formed in the rail support portion (1221). More specific details regarding the coupling of the rail support portion (1221) and the rail clip portion (1210) will be described later.

[0083] Meanwhile, in order to more stably support the load of the unit rail section (1110a), the width (D1) of the rail support section (1221) to which the connection bracket (1223) is connected may be formed narrower than the width (D2) of the frame connection section (1222).

[0084] The connecting bracket (1223) can be arranged to be inclined to connect the rail support (1221) and the frame joint (1222) which are joined with different widths.

[0085] The rail clip (1210) is for fixing the rail (1110) to the support bracket (1220). The rail clip (1210) is fixed to the support bracket (1220) while supporting the rail plate (1112a) under pressure.

[0086] The rail clip section (1210) includes a first rail clip section (1210') and a second rail clip section (1210") that support the front sides of the unit rail section (1110a), respectively.

[0087] The shapes of the first rail clip portion (1210') and the second rail clip portion (1210”) may be symmetrical to each other.

[0088] The rail clip portion (1210) of the rail fixing structure (1200) according to one embodiment of the present invention is positioned on both sides of the unit rail portion (1110a) to support the front portion of the unit rail portion (1110a) and the side portion of the unit rail portion (1110a), and the rail support bracket (1220) is positioned on the rear surface of the unit rail portion (1110a) to support the rear portion of the rail portion.

[0089]

[0090] Fig. 4 is a schematic exploded diagram of the rail fixing structure in the modular elevator illustrated in Fig. 2.

[0091] As described above, the rail clip portions (1210) have mutually symmetrical shapes, and FIG. 4 describes in detail the structural shape and organic joint structure for one rail clip portion.

[0092] As shown in FIGS. 2 to 4, the rail clip portion (1210) includes a rail clip (1211), an auxiliary rail clip (1212), and a fixing member (1213a, 1213b).

[0093] The fixing member (1213a, 1213b) is for fixing the rail clip part (1210) to the support bracket (1220), and may include a first fixing member (1213a) and a second fixing member (1213b).

[0094] One side of the rail clip (1211) presses the rail plate (1112a, see FIG. 5), and the other side of the rail clip (1211) is fixed to the support bracket (1220).

[0095] At this time, the rail clip (1211) can pressurize and support the front part of the rail part (1110).

[0096] For this purpose, the rail clip (1211) includes an elastic support portion (1211a) and a connecting portion (1211c).

[0097] The elastic support member (1211a) is for elastically pressing and supporting the rail plate (1112a).

[0098]

[0099] *The connecting portion (1211c) is for connecting to the support bracket (1220).

[0100] The connecting portion (1211c) can be connected to the support bracket (1220) via an auxiliary rail clip (1212).

[0101] A connecting portion (1211b) connecting an elastic support portion (1211a) and a connecting portion (1211c) can be formed in the rail clip (1211).

[0102] The connecting portion (1211b) is intended to increase the elastic pressing force of the elastic support portion (1211a), and can be designed so that the direction in which the elastic support portion (1211a) is connected to the connecting portion (1211c) faces the rail plate (1112a).

[0103] That is, the elastic support member (1211a) can be arranged to slope downward toward the rail plate (1112a) by the connecting member (1211b). The cross-section of the connecting member (1211b) can have a round shape.

[0104] Through the above-described joint structure, the pressing force of the elastic support member (1211a) against the rail plate (1112a) can be increased.

[0105] Additionally, the pressing force of the elastic support member (1211a) against the rail plate (1112a) can be adjusted by changing the shape and design of the connecting member (1211b).

[0106] A joining hole (1211c1) may be formed in the joining portion (1211c) so that a first fixing member (1213a) can be inserted therein.

[0107] The auxiliary rail clip (1212) is intended to improve the bonding force and support force of the rail clip (1211) that fixes and supports the unit rail section (1110a).

[0108] The auxiliary rail clip (1212) is located between the rail clip (1211) and the rail support portion (1221) of the support bracket (1220).

[0109] A rail clip (1211) can be mounted and connected to the auxiliary rail clip (1212).

[0110] The auxiliary rail clip (1212) is fixed to the rail support portion (1221) of the support bracket (1220) and can support the side surface (1112a', see FIG. 5) of the rail plate (1112a).

[0111] That is, the auxiliary rail clip (1212) can contact the side surface (1112a') of the rail plate (1112a) and serve as a side support and guide for the rail portion (1110).

[0112] The auxiliary rail clip (1212) includes a rail bracket joint (1212a) and a rail side support (1212b).

[0113] The rail bracket joint (1212a) is joined to the rail support (1221). A rail clip (1211) can be joined to the rail bracket joint (1212a).

[0114] At this time, the rail bracket joint (1212a) may be formed with an inclined surface facing the rail clip (1211) so that the rail clip (1211) is secured.

[0115] That is, in order to support the joint portion (1211c) of the rail clip (1211), a cross-section that is inclined downward toward the rail-side support portion (1212b) can be formed in the rail bracket joint portion (1212a).

[0116] The rail side support (1212b) is connected to the end of the downwardly inclined rail bracket joint (1212a), and the rail side support (1212b) is positioned to contact the side surface (1112a') of the rail plate (1112a).

[0117] The support surface (1212b') of the rail-side support portion (1212b) facing the side surface (1112a') of the rail plate (1112a) can be formed to correspond to the side surface (1112a') of the rail plate (1112a). Accordingly, the contact support force of the auxiliary rail clip (1212) with respect to the rail plate (1112a) can be improved.

[0118] A first bracket joining hole (1212a1) and a second bracket joining hole (1212a2) may be formed in the rail bracket joining portion (1212a). A rail clip (1211) may be fixed to the rail support portion (1221) of the support bracket (1220).

[0119] The second bracket joining hole (1212a2) can be formed on both sides with the first bracket joining hole (1212a1) as the center.

[0120] The first bracket connecting hole (1212a1) is formed on the same axis as the connecting hole (1211c1) of the rail clip (1211) and the first clip connecting hole (1221a) of the rail support (1221).

[0121] The second bracket connecting hole (1212a2) is formed on the same axis as the second clip connecting hole (1221b) of the rail support member (1221).

[0122] The first fixing member (1213a) is connected through the connecting hole (1211c1) of the rail clip (1211), the first bracket connecting hole (1212a1) and the first clip connecting hole (1221a) of the rail support member (1221), so that the rail clip (1211) and the auxiliary rail clip (1212) can be fixed to the rail support member (1221) of the support bracket (1220).

[0123] The second fixing member (1213b) is connected through the second bracket connecting hole (1212a2) and the second clip connecting hole (1221b) of the rail support member (1221), so that the auxiliary rail clip (1212) can be fixed to the rail support member (1221) of the support bracket (1220).

[0124] That is, the rail part (1110) and the auxiliary rail clip (1212) can be positioned on the rail support part (1221), and the auxiliary rail clip (1212) can be fixed to the rail support part (1221) of the support bracket (1220) using the second fixing member (1213b).

[0125] Next, the rail clip (1211), the auxiliary rail clip (1212), and the rail support member (1221) can be fixed with the first fixing member (1213a) while the rail clip (1211) is positioned in front of the auxiliary rail clip (1212) to press the rail plate (1112a).

[0126]

[0127] Figure 5 is a schematic diagram of the rail fixing structure in the modular elevator illustrated in Figure 2.

[0128] As shown, the unit rail section (1110a) is respectively connected to a plurality of intermediate elevator modules (1100, see FIG. 1) by a rail fixing structure (1200).

[0129] More specifically, the rail plate (1112a) of the unit rail section (1110a) is supported by pressure on the rail fixing structure (1200).

[0130] That is, the front surface of the rail plate (1112a) of the unit rail section (1110a) is pressed (illustrated as P) by the rail clip (1211), the side surface (1112a') of the rail plate (1112a) is guided and supported by the support surface (1212b') of the auxiliary rail clip (1212), and the back surface of the rail plate (1112a) is supported by the rail support portion (1221) of the support bracket (1220).

[0131] As described above, in a modular elevator according to one embodiment of the present invention, a unit rail section (1110a) is stably fixed to a plurality of intermediate elevator modules (1100, see FIG. 1) by a rail fixing structure (1200).

[0132] In addition, when a rail step occurs between unit rail parts (1110a) coupled to adjacent intermediate elevator modules when stacking and combining multiple intermediate elevator modules, the first fixing member (1213a) that fixes the rail clip (1211) can be released to adjust the coupling force, and the unit rail parts (1110a) can be moved in the stacking direction (V, see FIG. 1).

[0133] At this time, the unit rail section (1110a) can be prevented from being misaligned as it is maintained in a state of being supported by the second fixing member (1213b) and the auxiliary rail clip (1212).
