On base segment backplate 11,32 input terminal of shear shank is connect with the output end of driving assembly 31, and driving assembly 31 can pass through shear shank 32
Extensible protection board 12 is driven to slide with respect to base segment backplate 11.
Any bar of cutting of 32 input terminal of shear shank is hinged on base segment backplate 11, and the residue of 32 input terminal of shear shank cuts bar can
It is movably arranged on the output end of driving assembly 31,32 end of shear shank and extensible protection board 12 are hinged, and shear shank 32 can be through as a result,
Extensible protection board 12 is driven to slide with respect to base segment backplate 11 after 31 power transmission of driving assembly.
A kind of flexible toeguard, further includes sliding rail 2, and sliding rail 2 includes base segment sliding rail 21 and flexible sliding rail 22, base segment sliding rail 21
It is mounted on 11 two sides of base segment backplate, flexible sliding rail 22 is mounted on 12 two sides of extensible protection board, and one end is nested and slidably connects
It connects on base segment sliding rail 21, by increasing by 12 liang of wood side-guides of base segment backplate 11 and extensible protection board, it is possible to provide 12 phase of extensible protection board
To the track that base segment backplate 11 slides, the more efficient safe expansion of extensible protection board 12 is helped.
Wherein, driving assembly 31 includes driving motor 311, screw rod 312, fixing seat 313 and sliding component 314, driving electricity
Machine 311 is mounted on base segment backplate 11, and output end is connect with screw rod 312, and fixing seat 313 is mounted on base segment backplate 11, silk
Bar 312 may be rotatably mounted in fixing seat 313, and sliding component 314 includes sliding shoe a, feed screw nut b and bearing c, sliding shoe
There are bolt, nut, link block and gasket on a, bolt and bearing c cooperate, and 32 one end of shear shank is fixed on axis by nut
It holds on c, and it has the gasket for reinforcing its fixed function up and down, feed screw nut b is connected by link block with bolt one end, screw rod spiral shell
Female b is slidably mounted on screw rod 312, and when driving motor 311 works on power, interior motor rotation drives screw rod 312 to rotate, and is placed on
Feed screw nut's b stress on screw rod 312 starts the transverse shifting on screw rod 312, can drive the scissors being fixed on bolt
Frame 32 move, thus shear shank 32 acquisition drive extensible protection board 12 with respect to base segment backplate 11 via two wood side-guides, 2 telescopic moving most
Eventually at the power of unfolded state, this process finally makes this flexible toeguard complete stretching, extension working condition, with existing toeguard safety
The inadequate defect of length is compared, it has the extensible protection board 12 of sufficient length, i.e., either encounters staff and need to elevator
Maintenance or occupant face the case where falling elevator bottom hoistway problem, this toeguard can provide the safety of sufficient length away from
From greatly improving maintenance and multiply the safety of load.
On the basis of above-mentioned, backplate assembly 1 further includes unloading power slideway 13, unloads power slideway 13 and connects 11 liang of base segment backplate
End, and be fixedly mounted on base segment backplate 11, bearing c is contacted with 13 line of power slideway is unloaded, when 314 mass motion of sliding component,
Bearing c mounted thereto also slides on unloading power slideway 13, unloads power slideway 13 and just plays the longitudinal direction on sliding component 314
Tension is resisted, and ensure that the safety movement of sliding component 314, therefore the structure of shear shank 32 is also safely and effectively protected
Shield.
On the basis of above-mentioned, backplate assembly 1 further includes side plate, and side plate is slidably mounted on extensible protection board 12 by sliding rail 2
On, 12 top of extensible protection board is provided with retention bead, and the bottom end of side plate is provided with the bumping post with retention bead cooperation, bumping post and limit
Position male cooperation, which cooperates, to be installed, and is increased extensible protection board 12 and is being acted on the stability in telescopic process by shear shank 32,
It ensure that the function that shear shank 32 drives the expansion of this toeguard and shrinks.
