Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Dust entering the elevator brake through the elevator shaft increases power consumption due to reduced heat dissipation performance of electronic components.
Innovation Solution

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Power
If the elevator brake is installed in the elevator shaft, then it can achieve smooth stop and fast start, but dust from the elevator shaft wall enters the brake and increases power consumption
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the harmful dust particles from the environment around the brake components by introducing a vacuum cleaning system. The vacuum pipe extends into the brake assembly to suction dust away from electronic components, thereby removing the source of heat dissipation degradation and excessive power consumption
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a vacuum cleaning system as an intermediary mechanism between the dust-laden environment and the brake components. The vacuum system acts as a mediator that prevents dust from directly contacting and accumulating on electronic components, thus maintaining their thermal performance
2Temperature
If dust accumulates on electronic components, then heat dissipation performance decreases, but cleaning and maintenance become more difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a self-service cleaning mechanism where the vacuum cleaning system automatically and continuously removes dust from electronic components during brake operation. This eliminates the need for manual disassembly and cleaning, allowing the brake to maintain its own heat dissipation performance without requiring complex maintenance interventions
Solution Approach 2:
The vacuum cleaning system operates continuously or periodically to maintain clean electronic components, ensuring uninterrupted heat dissipation performance. This continuous action prevents dust accumulation from degrading thermal management, eliminating the need for periodic shutdowns for maintenance
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
Effectively prevents dust from entering the brake mechanism, maintaining heat dissipation performance and reducing power consumption by regularly collecting and reminding operators to clean the dust.
Implementation Method 1
by starting the pumping pump regularly, makes the dust attached to the body and the dust around the body sucked into the collection tank through the vacuum pipe
Implementation Method 2
then intercepts the dust by the filter
Implementation Method 3
The air outlet pipe is provided with an exhaust fan
