Technical Field

The present disclosure pertains to the field of Elevator (Elevator) technology, and relates to a stabilizing device for an Elevator car and an Elevator system using the same.

Background

An elevator car of an elevator system is hoisted or suspended by a hoisting medium such as a wire rope or a steel belt, and particularly, when the elevator car is stopped at a certain floor position to load/unload passengers or articles, the elevator car is hoisted by the wire rope or the steel belt to be relatively stopped in a hoistway to facilitate the loading or unloading.

However, the hoisting medium, such as steel ropes or belts, is more or less elastic, which, if the weight of the elevator car changes considerably during loading or unloading, can easily lead to a vibration of the elevator car in the up-down direction or a considerable amount of sinking/floating, especially in the case of long steel ropes or belts. Vibrations or sinking/floating like this result in unstable stops of the elevator car relative to a certain floor position and poor passenger experience.

A stabilizing device 100 for an elevator car and an elevator system 10 using the stabilizing device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to fig. 1 to 5.

As shown in fig. 5, in the elevator system 10 of an embodiment, the elevator car 13 is dragged by a dragging medium (e.g., the steel belt 14), and if the elevator car 13 is loaded/unloaded (e.g., passengers enter or exit), the change in the weight of the elevator car 13 that has stopped or stopped will cause a certain amount of elastic deformation of the steel belt 14, and since the elastic deformation of the steel belt 14 is relatively large, a relatively significant movement (movement) in the z direction will be generated, which may be embodied as vibration, may also be embodied as sinking, and may be embodied as floating.

The stabilizing device 100 is directly or indirectly fixedly mounted relative to the elevator car 13 of the elevator system 10, so that the vibration motion of the elevator car 13 in the z-direction will be transmitted to the stabilizing device 100, and the stabilizing device 100 mainly serves to reduce the movement (e.g., vibration, sinking, or floating) of the elevator car 13 in the up-down direction, for example, to prevent the up-down movement of the elevator car 13 in the z-direction when the elevator car 13 is stopped at a landing on a floor (e.g., when landing doors on the landing are open), thereby improving the experience of passengers in the elevator car 13. As shown in particular in fig. 5, the stabilizing device 100 may be mounted on one or more guide shoes 12 of the elevator car 13, either on the upper guide shoe or the lower guide shoe, or both the upper guide shoe and the lower guide shoe may be mounted with the stabilizing device 100; it will be appreciated that the mounting may be chosen in particular according to principles that do not affect the normal operation of the elevator car 13 in the hoistway, for example, even on other parts of the elevator car 13 than the guide shoe 12.

As shown in fig. 1 and 2, the stabilizing device 100 includes a first frame 110 and a second frame 120, and the first frame 110 and the second frame 120 may be made of a high-strength plate material (e.g., a steel plate), and the shape and size of the first frame 110 and the second frame 120 are not limited, and alternatively, both the first frame 110 and the second frame 120 may be configured as a square frame structure, such as a substantially rectangular parallelepiped cavity structure that is open toward the y-direction, so that the structure is simple and easy to manufacture, and particularly, the stabilizing device 100 is easily arranged in a left-right symmetrical manner with respect to the center plane 109 in the yz plane direction. The first frame 110 is fixedly attached to the elevator car 13 so as to be movable with the elevator car 13, but the stabilizing device 100 may transmit a force to the elevator car 13 through the first frame 110 to reduce or alleviate the movement of the stopped elevator car 13 in the z direction during operation. The second frame body 120 is smaller than the first frame body 110, the second frame body 120 can be positioned inside the first frame body 110, and the first frame body 110 and the second frame body 120 can move up and down relative to each other, and the up and down movement between the first frame body 110 and the second frame body 120 during operation will be specifically exemplified below.

In one embodiment, the second frame 120 is horizontally and limitedly installed inside the first frame 110, so that the second frame 120 is substantially immovable in the x direction and the y direction with respect to the first frame 110, and even if the first frame 110 and the second frame 120 move up and down with respect to each other, the distance between the second frame 120 and the inner side surface of the first frame 110 in the x direction and the y direction is substantially maintained, which plays a very important role in improving the reliability, effectiveness, and the like of the operation of the stabilizing device 100. Specifically, the second frame 120 is horizontally and limitedly mounted inside the first frame 110 by one or more horizontal fixing members 111, and the horizontal fixing member 111 may specifically be one or more anti-skid bolts located between a lower bottom surface of the second frame 120 and a lower bottom surface of the first frame 110; when the stopped elevator car 13 moves in the vertical direction, the second housing 120 can move up and down relative to the first housing 110 using the horizontal fixing member 111 as a guide member.

As shown in fig. 1 and 2, the stabilizing device 100 may include left and right electromagnetic blocks 130a and 130b, left and right dampers 150a and 150b for absorbing energy in the up-down direction, and left and right horizontal actuating members 140a and 140b corresponding to the left and right electromagnetic blocks 130a and 130b, respectively.

The left and right electromagnet blocks 130a and 130b are movable in the left-right direction (i.e., x direction) and constitute an electromagnet block pair for clamping the guide rail 11, and when the left and right electromagnet blocks 130a and 130b are energized under the control of a control unit (not shown) of the stabilizer 100, they generate a large force of attracting the guide rail 11, thereby clamping the guide rail 11. The left and right magnet blocks 130a and 130b are installed in the second housing 120 in a vertically restricted manner, and are configured to clamp the guide rail 11 and generate a frictional force for preventing the second housing 120 from moving up and down with respect to the clamped guide rail 11, and the frictional force keeps the second housing 120 substantially stationary with respect to the clamped guide rail 11. The left and right electromagnetic blocks 130a and 130b may be symmetrically arranged in the second frame 120 along the central plane 109 of the stabilizing device 100, and since the left and right electromagnetic blocks 130a and 130b are installed in a vertically limited manner, they are substantially immovable in the vertical direction, thereby facilitating the effective transmission of the force of the electromagnetic block pair 130 in the z direction with respect to the second frame 120 and the entire stabilizing device 100; for example, the left and right electromagnetic blocks 130a, 130b and the second frame 120 are sized such that the upper and lower ends of the left and right electromagnetic blocks 130a, 130b are respectively abutted against the upper and lower inner surfaces of the second frame 120, and thus the left and right electromagnetic blocks 130a, 130b are vertically and limitedly mounted. In other embodiments, the left and right electromagnetic blocks 130a and 130b may be restricted from moving forward and backward in the y direction by, for example, a guide rail (not shown) on the second frame 120.

In one embodiment, the left and right magnet blocks 130a and 130b can slide left and right along a guide rail (not shown) disposed on the inner side surface of the second frame 120, for example, the guide rail can be disposed on the upper inner side surface, the lower inner side surface, and/or the rear inner side surface of the second frame 120, so that the left and right movement of the left and right magnet blocks 130a and 130b in the second frame 120 can be easily, conveniently and reliably realized, and the working surfaces of the left and right magnet blocks 130a and 130b can be easily ensured to be substantially parallel to the clamping surface of the guide rail 11.

Continuing with fig. 1 and 2, the left horizontal actuating member 140a may urge the left electromagnet block 130a to move toward the guide rail 11 until the working surface of the left electromagnet block 130a contacts the clamping surface of the guide rail 11, and likewise, the right horizontal actuating member 140b may urge the right electromagnet block 130b to move toward the guide rail 11 until the working surface of the right electromagnet block 130b contacts the clamping surface of the guide rail 11. Alternatively, the left and right horizontal actuating members 140a, 140b may also be arranged in a left-right symmetry along the central plane 109 of the stabilizing device 100; the left and right horizontal actuating members 140a and 140b are implemented by selecting the same type of actuating means, and may be synchronously controlled by the control part to drive the left and right electromagnet blocks 130a and 130b to act synchronously. In one embodiment, the left horizontal actuating member 140a is disposed between the left solenoid block 130a and the left inner side surface of the second frame body 120, and the left end of the left horizontal actuating member 140a may be fixed on the left inner side surface of the second frame body 120; the right horizontal actuating member 140b is disposed between the right electromagnet block 130b and the right inner side surface of the second frame 120, and the right end of the right horizontal actuating member 140b may be fixed on the right inner side surface of the second frame 120.

In one embodiment, a left horizontal reset unit 149a and a right horizontal reset unit 149b may be further provided corresponding to the left horizontal actuating member 140a and the right horizontal actuating member 140b, respectively, the left horizontal reset unit 149a may reset the left electromagnetic block 130a of the clamping rail 11 away from the clamping rail 11, and the right horizontal reset unit 149b may reset the right electromagnetic block 130b of the clamping rail 11 away from the clamping rail 11, so that the left electromagnetic block 130a and the right electromagnetic block 130b may be automatically reset to the initial positions in the x direction, the left electromagnetic block 130a and the right electromagnetic block 130b may maintain a predetermined distance in the x direction from the clamping surface of the clamping rail 11, and the normal travel of the elevator car 13 may not be affected when the stabilizing apparatus 100 is not in operation.

Specifically, the left horizontal actuating member 140a or the right horizontal actuating member 140b may include a horizontally disposed lead screw and a motor for driving the lead screw; the two ends of the lead screw are respectively connected to the inner side surface of the second frame 120 and the left/right electromagnetic block 130 a/130 b, and the lead screw can be driven by, for example, a micro motor, so as to push the left electromagnetic block 130a or the right electromagnetic block 130b to move toward the guide rail 11. Specifically, the left horizontal return 149a or the right horizontal return 149b may also be a spring that is sleeved on the lead screw. In other alternative embodiments, left or right horizontal actuating member 140a or 140b may also be implemented by, for example, a small sized push-across solenoid or the like.

As shown in fig. 1 and 2, the left damper 150a and the right damper 150b arranged along the z direction are mainly used for absorbing the vibration energy of the elevator car 13, and each of them has a fixed end 151 and a movable end 152, the fixed end 151 is installed in the second frame 120 in a limited manner in the up-down direction, the movable end 152 is connected to the first frame 110, for example, connected to the first frame 110 through a connecting block 1521, the vibration of the first frame 110 in the z direction (the vibration is caused by the passenger entering and exiting the elevator car 13 at the stop) can be transmitted to the second frame 120 through the movable end 152 and the fixed end 151 in turn, and the pair of electromagnetic blocks 130 holding the guide rail 11 will prevent the second frame 120 from generating the vibration; since the energy of the vibration of the first frame 110 can be absorbed by the left damper 150a and the right damper 150b, the vibration of the first frame 110 relative to the second frame 120 in the z direction is relatively reduced, and the vibration of the elevator car 13 is also reduced or suppressed.

In one embodiment, the stabilizing device 100 further includes a left vertical returning part 159a and a right vertical returning part 159b, for example, when the pair of electromagnet blocks 130 release the guide rail 11, the left vertical returning part 159a and the right vertical returning part 159b can push the fixed end 151 of the damper to return downward, so as to return the second frame 120 in the vertical direction with respect to the first frame 110, and the second frame 120 is substantially maintained at the initial distance in the z direction with respect to the upper and lower inner side surfaces of the first frame 110 inside the first frame 110. The left and right vertical returning members 159a and 159b may be elastic members such as springs.

Illustratively, the left damper 150a and the right damper 150b are hydraulic buffers, the cylinders of which correspond to the fixed end 151 (e.g., the fixed end 151 may be the cylinder 151), and the piston rods of which correspond to the movable end 152 (e.g., the movable end 152 may be the piston rod 152). Correspondingly, the left/right vertical return members 159a, 159b may be resilient members such as springs fitted over the piston rods. It will be understood that the oil cylinder 151 may be fixedly installed vertically inside the second frame 120 as a whole, and may be detachably replaced.

The left damper 150a and the right damper 150b are symmetrically disposed along the center plane 109 of the stabilizer 100, which is not only beneficial to ensuring that the first frame 110 and the second frame 120 can move up and down in parallel, but also beneficial to reducing the volume of the left damper 150a and the right damper 150b (for example, the volume requirement of each cylinder 151 can be greatly reduced when a single damper is used), and reducing the cost of the left damper 150a and the right damper 150 b. Likewise, the left and right electromagnet blocks 130a and 130b arranged in bilateral symmetry can also greatly reduce the volume of a single electromagnet block (compared with the case where only a single electromagnet block is arranged to attract and fix the guide rail 11), and can generate a large clamping force and generate a large friction force with the guide rail 11 during operation. Therefore, the volume of the second frame 120 can be designed to be smaller, the overall structure is simple and compact, the volume of the stabilizing device 100 is greatly reduced, and the cost of the stabilizing device 100 is reduced.

It should be noted that the left damper 150a and the right damper 150b are not limited to being implemented by the hydraulic shock absorber illustrated above, and may be implemented by using other components that can absorb energy in the z direction. In other alternative embodiments, the left damper 150a and the right damper 150b may have a bidirectional damping function, for example, both upper and lower ends of the same cylinder 151 have an upper piston rod and a lower piston rod connected to the upper end and the lower end of the first frame 110, respectively.

Specifically, as shown in fig. 1, one or more vertical returning parts 112 may be further disposed in the stabilizing device 100, the vertical returning part 112 may also cause the second frame body 120 to return in the vertical direction with respect to the first frame body 110, and the vertical returning part 112 may be a spring, which may be sleeved on the horizontal fixing member 111.

The working principle of the stabilization device 100 of the embodiment of the present invention is illustrated below with reference to fig. 3 and 4.

As shown in fig. 3, when the elevator system 10 controls the elevator car 13 to stop at a landing, before the car door is not opened, the control portion of the stabilizing device 100 first controls the left and right horizontal actuating members 140a and 140b (e.g., micro motors that control the left and right horizontal actuating members 140a and 140 b) to respectively push the left and right electromagnetic blocks 130a and 130b to approach the guide rail 11 until, for example, the working surfaces of the left and right electromagnetic blocks 130a and 130b contact the working surface of the guide rail 11; the control portion of the stabilizing device 100 then controls the left and right electromagnetic blocks 130a and 130b to be energized or energized again to clamp the guide rail 11, so that the stabilizing device 100 enters a rail-clamped state (at which the elevator car 13 has not yet been vibrated, sunk, or floated by the entrance and exit of passengers). The control process is realized in steps, the adsorption electromagnet 340 is firstly pushed to be close to and contact with the guide rail 11 and then is electrified to generate clamping force, so that large impact caused by direct electrification of the left electromagnetic block 130a and the right electromagnetic block 130b to be adsorbed on the guide rail 11 is avoided, and the impact and impact sound generated by the electromagnetic blocks 130 on the guide rail 11 are small; not only is it advantageous to extend the service life of the electromagnet block pair 130, but also to protect the passengers from the impact sound.

Further, as shown in fig. 4, if the elevator car 13 is loaded/unloaded (e.g., passengers get in and out, etc.) after the car door of the elevator car 13 is opened, the change in the weight of the elevator car 13 causes a certain amount of elastic deformation of the steel belt 14, and in view of the relatively large elastic deformation of the steel belt 14, a relatively significant vibration in the up-down direction is generated. Taking the elevator car 13 moving downward during the vibration process as an example (for example, passengers enter the car 13), the first frame 110 will also move downward with the elevator car 13, the pair of electromagnetic blocks 130 will be fixed relative to the guide rail 11 due to the static friction force generated by the pair of electromagnetic blocks 130 and the guide rail 11, and the second frame 120 will also be fixed relative to the guide rail 11; at this time, the first frame body 110 moves downward relative to the second frame body 120, and the left and right dampers 150a and 150b absorb energy to reduce or slow down the downward movement of the first frame body 110 relative to the second frame body 120, thereby reducing the moving distance and effectively suppressing the amplitude of vibration/sinking/floating. Similarly, when the elevator car 13 is displaced upward (for example, when a passenger leaves the car 13), the occurrence of vibration, sinking, floating, and the like in the z direction can be effectively suppressed or reduced.

After the loading/unloading of the elevator car 13 is completed, for example, after the car door is closed again, the control portion of the stabilizing device 100 may control the left and right electromagnetic blocks 130a and 130b to be powered off, the left and right horizontal returning members 149a and 149b may respectively and automatically pull the left and right electromagnetic blocks 130a and 130b back to the initial positions in the x direction, and the left, right and vertical returning members 159a, 159b and 112 may automatically return the second frame 120 to the initial positions in the z direction in the first frame 110, thereby automatically completing the returning operation and preparing the stabilizing device 100 for the next operation.

It should be understood that the electromagnetic mass pair 130, the damper and other main components of the stabilizing device 100 of the above embodiment are positioned and mounted in the second frame 120 in a left-right symmetrical manner, and the whole internal structure is simple, compact, small, and can be implemented at low cost.

In the vibration operation of the stopped elevator car, there is a possibility that the operation of the elevator car sinking or floating in the vertical direction is accompanied. The movement of the elevator car to be prevented or overcome by the stabilizing device 100 may be due to various reasons, not limited to elastic deformation of the traction medium.

In the above, the "steel belt" is used at least for a part of the hoisting elevator car whose width value in the first direction in its cross section perpendicular to the length direction is larger than the thickness value in the second direction, which is substantially perpendicular to the first direction.

The above examples mainly illustrate various stabilizing devices of the present invention, and elevator systems using the same.
