The car body 1 is provided on a circular guide rail 41 having a full circular shape, and the middle thereof is connected to the bottom of the car body 1 by an arc-shaped slider 42. The annular guide rail 41 is arranged on a lower supporting plate 53 of the backpack bracket 5, a car top shaft which is upwards connected with a car top bearing is arranged at the central point of the top of the car body 1 and passes through the bearing, a tooth-shaped belt 32 wheel is arranged at the upper part of the car top shaft and is connected to the tooth-shaped belt 32 wheel on the driving shaft of the opposite motor 2 through the tooth-shaped belt 32, and further, the elevator control cabinet gives instructions to a car rotation control system. The car body 1 can be rotated in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction by a set angle. When the elevator is in a flat floor position, the car door hole 11 faces the direction of the elevator hall door of the floor (if three or less hall doors exist in a certain floor, the car door hole rotates to the hall door facing the calling according to the calling signals, and the hall door of the floor is opened after rotating in place) when people call through the outer calling box, the electric hall door of the elevator is opened, after the people enter the elevator car and the hall door is closed in place, the car body 1 starts to rotate, and the elevator body stops after rotating until the car door hole 11 faces the knapsack frame 6. At the moment, personnel can select floors through an elevator control box fixed on the backpack frame 6, when the elevator runs to the floor leveling position selected, the elevator control cabinet automatically rotates the elevator car to the position right facing the hoistway door through the parameters set by the elevator control cabinet and the control box of the rotating elevator car, and after receiving the elevator car rotation in-place signal, the elevator control cabinet opens the hoistway door. If the light curtain 8 on the two sides of the elevator car door opening 11 is shielded, the elevator car cannot rotate, and the hall door cannot be normally closed. The rotating car control box has a torque detection function, and can avoid clamping people or objects under the condition that the light curtain 8 fails.
When a person calls a call through an outer call box, when the elevator reaches the floor, the car door is over against the floor door and the elevator stops after leveling, the elevator floor door is opened, the person enters the car and further receives a signal that the floor door is closed in place, the control system drives the motor to rotate the car body 1 until the car door opening 11 is over against the elevator operating panel arranged on the knapsack frame 6 to stop, at the moment, the knapsack frame 6 just blocks the elevator car door opening 11, the person can select a floor through a floor button 16 arranged on the elevator operating panel on the knapsack frame 6 (see figure 5), after the floor is selected, the car body 1 and the knapsack frame 6 for fixing the car are lifted or descended together, when the elevator reaches the selected floor, after the floor leveling signal is received, the car can rotate the car body 1 through the control system until the car door opening 11 is over against the floor door to stop, the floor door is opened, and the person can go in and out. Through the simple, safe and reliable mode, the left-right through and right-angle through of the elevator car can be easily realized, and the production cost and the failure rate of the elevator are reduced to a great extent.
