Abstract

The reaction part formed as a magnet strip is fixed to the shaft wall of the lift. The linear motor is formed as a synchronous motor and the lift cage (3) is eccentrically fixed to the support rope (4). The magnet strip (15) formed from permanent magnets is fixed to the cross binders (8) of a guide device (6). The guide device is formed as a closed support frame (7,8,10,16), fixed to the shaft wall (2). The support frame together with the guide rails (7), the cross binders (8), the magnet strip (15) and the counterweight (5) forms a unified and closed structural component.

Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung hat einen mit einem Fahrkorb ausgestatteten Aufzug zum Gegenstand, bei dem der Fahrkorb über einen Tragseilzug mit einem Gegengewicht verbunden ist, an dem der Kurzstator eines als Synchronmotor ausgebildeten Linearmotors angeordnet ist, dessen als Magnetleiste ausgebildeter Reaktionsteil an der Schachtwand des Aufzuges befestigt ist. Ein solches Aufzugsystem ist bereits aus der DE-A-34 22 374 bekannt.The present invention has a car equipped Elevator to the object in which the car has a Carrier cable is connected to a counterweight on which the Short stator arranged as a synchronous motor linear motor is, the reaction part designed as a magnetic strip is attached to the shaft wall of the elevator. Such an elevator system is already known from DE-A-34 22 374.

Um den Aufbau eines solchen Aufzugsystems zu vereinfachen und vor allem umfangreiche Umlenkrollenvorrichtungen im Schachtkopf zu vermeiden, ist erfindungsgemäß der an einer Führungsvorrichtung angeordnete Fahrkorb exzentrisch an dem Tragseil und die aus Permanentmagneten gebildete Magnetleiste an den Querverbindern der Führungsvorrichtung befestigt.To simplify the construction of such an elevator system and before extensive deflection roller devices in the shaft head To avoid, is according to the invention on a guide device arranged car eccentrically on the suspension cable and out Permanent magnet formed magnetic strip on the cross connectors attached to the guide device.

Die exzentrische Befestigung des Tragseilstranges an dem Fahrkorb, die auch als sogenannte Rucksackführung bezeichnet wird, erlaubt vor allem eine einfache Führung der Aufzugsseile, die vom Seilfestpunkt des Gegengewichtes über eine Seilumlenkrolle am oberen Aufhängeträger im Schachtkopf zum Seilfestpunkt am Fahrkorb verlaufen und sich nahezu in einer einzigen Ebene befinden. Dieser Seilverlauf ermöglicht dabei für die Seilumlenkrolle sowie die Führung des Fahrkorbes und Gegengewichts eine Tragkonstruktion, die sich durch eine besonders einfache und damit auch eine genaue Montage auszeichnet.The eccentric attachment of the suspension cable to the car, which is also known as the so-called backpack guide, Above all, allows easy guidance of the elevator ropes by the Rope fixed point of the counterweight on a rope pulley on upper suspension bracket in the shaft head to the fixed rope point on the car run and are almost in one level. This rope course allows for the rope pulley as well the guidance of the car and counterweight a supporting structure, which is characterized by a particularly simple and therefore also a exact assembly distinguishes.

In diesem Zusammenhang ist es von Vorteil, wenn die Führungsvorrichtung dabei als ein in sich geschlossener an der Schachtwand befestigter Tragrahmen ausgebildet ist, welcher alle beim Betrieb des Aufzuges auftretende Kräfte aufnimmt und an die Schachtwand und Schachtgrube weitergibt. In this context, it is advantageous if the guide device thereby as a self-contained on the shaft wall attached support frame is formed, which all during operation absorbing forces occurring in the elevator and to the shaft wall and passes the pit.

Ferner ist es noch zweckmäßig, wenn der Tragrahmen zusammen mit den Führungsschienen, den Querverbindern, der an diesem befestigten Magnetleiste und dem Gegengewicht dann ein einheitliches und in sich geschlossenes Bauelement bildet. Durch die erfindungsgemäß verschlagene Anordnung der Elemente wird eine sehr kompakte, platzsparende und leicht zu montierende Antriebs- und Führungseinheit für einen Aufzug geschaffen.It is also useful if the support frame together with the guide rails, the cross connectors that are attached to it Magnetic bar and the counterweight then a uniform and forms a self-contained component. By the invention cunning arrangement of the elements becomes a very compact, space-saving and easy to assemble drive and guide unit created for an elevator.

Weitere Einzelheiten zu der vorliegenden Erfindung ergeben sich aus der nach folgender Beschreibung einer beispielsweisen Ausführungsform sowie den nachgestellten Ansprüchen. Es zeigen:

Fig. 1
eine schaubildliche und schematische Darstellung des Aufzuges und
Fig. 2
einen Querschnitt des Aufzugsschachtes.
Further details on the present invention will become apparent from the description of an exemplary embodiment which follows and the claims which follow. Show it:
Fig. 1
a diagrammatic and schematic representation of the elevator and
Fig. 2
a cross section of the elevator shaft.

Der in der Fig. 1 schaubildlich dargestellte Aufzug 1 ist in einem mit 2 bezeichneten Aufzugsschacht untergebracht und weist einen Fahrkorb 3 auf, der über einen Tragseilzug 4 mit einem Gegengewicht 5 verbunden ist. Der Führung des Fahrkorbes 3 dient eine mit 6 bezeichnete Führungsvorrichtung, die aus zwei vertikalen Führungsschienen 7 und mehreren, diese miteinander verbindenden Querverbindern 8 besteht. Am Kopf 9 dieser Führungsvorrichtung 6 befindet sich ein mit 10 bezeichneter Aufhängeträger, der der Lagerung einer Seilumlenkrolle 11 des Tragseilzuges 4 dient.The elevator 1 shown diagrammatically in FIG. 1 is in one housed with 2 designated elevator shaft and has one Car 3, which has a cable 4 with a counterweight 5 is connected. The management of the car 3 is used designated 6, consisting of two vertical Guide rails 7 and more, connecting them together Cross connectors 8 exists. On the head 9 of this guide device 6 there is a suspension bracket designated 10, the storage a pulley 11 of the suspension cable 4 is used.

Angetrieben wird der Aufzug 1 mittels eines als Synchronmotor ausgebildeten Linearmotors, dessen Kurzstator 12 in der in der Fig. 2 gezeigten Weise an der Rückseite 13 des zuvor schon erwähnten Gegengewichtes 5 in einer Nische 14 angeordnet ist. Diesem Kurzstator 12 ist als Reaktionsteil eine im Querschnitt U-förmige Magnetleiste 15 zugeordnet, in die der Kurzstator 12 hineinragt und die, wie aus den Fign. 1 und 2 ersichtlich ist, an den die Führungsschiene 7 miteinander verbindenden Querverbindern 8 befestigt ist.The elevator 1 is driven by means of a synchronous motor trained linear motor, the short stator 12 in the in Fig. 2 shown manner on the back 13 of the previously mentioned Counterweight 5 is arranged in a niche 14. This Short stator 12 is a reaction part in cross section U-shaped magnetic strip 15 assigned to the short stator 12th protrudes and, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2 can be seen the cross connectors connecting the guide rail 7 8 is attached.

Wie insbesondere aus der Fig. 2 ersichtlich ist, so bilden die Führungsschienen 7, die Querbinder 8 zusammen mit dem oberen Aufhängeträger 10 und einem Bodenträger 16 einen in sich geschlossenen Rahmen, der sowohl der Rucksackführung des Fahrkorbes 3 als auch der Führung des Gegengewichtes 5 dient. Die an dem Fahrkorb 3 und dem Gegengewicht 5 befindlichen Seilfestpunkte 17 und 18 sind dabei so angeordnet, daß der Tragseilzug 4 etwa in der gleichen Ebene wie auch die Umlenkrolle 11 liegt.As can be seen in particular from FIG. 2, the Guide rails 7, the bow tie 8 together with the upper suspension bracket 10 and a floor support 16 a self-contained Frame that both the backpack guide of the car 3 as also serves to guide the counterweight 5. The on the car 3 and the counterweight 5 located fixed rope points 17 and 18 are arranged so that the cable 4 is about the same Level as well as the guide roller 11 is.
