Description

The invention relates to an elevator system with a car according to the top priority of the Claim 1. Such an elevator installation is from EP-A-0686594 known.

Such an elevator system is known from practice, in which in an elevator shaft preferably an elevator scaffold that can be assembled in a modular manner is introduced from above. The elevator frame is essentially spaced apart by two pairs Guide rails formed as guides that are approximately perpendicular to each other in the elevator shaft be attached. A couple assigned to a wall of the elevator shaft are used to guide a counterweight. The other couple, centered and extend across the elevator shaft, serves to guide a car. counterweights and car are connected to each other by a cable pull, preferably of several cables connected. The cable is at an upper end of the guide rails for the counterweight and at an upper end of the guide rails for the car attached to a fixed point. There is a pulley above the counterweight and below the car there is also at least one deflection roller for deflection arranged of the cable. At the top of a pair of guide rails is also a traction sheave driven by a motor is arranged around which the cable pull is at least partially put around to drive it.

The elevator system previously known in practice has a relatively complex structure because, for example one or two pulleys for the cable are arranged on the car and a total of two fixed points must be formed on the elevator scaffold. Moreover are the guide rails on both sides of the counterweight and car arranged, making the installation of the elevator system more expensive and becomes more time consuming.

The subject of the registration is based on the elevator system described at the beginning based on the task, the installation and work required to build an elevator system with a simpler construction.

This object is achieved by the characterizing features of claim 1.

In another elevator system previously known from practice, a car without Counterweight used. The elevator scaffold is arranged on both sides of the elevator car vertical pylons or the like are formed. These can be modular up to one required height can be composed of subunits. On a bottom of the car, a drive device with a pair of friction wheels is arranged. In each case a friction wheel lies on one side of a pylon, with each being opposite presses another friction wheel on the opposite side of the respective pylons. The other friction wheels are also rotatably mounted on the underside of the car.

In this known elevator system it is disadvantageous that the driving ability and thus the load capacity of the elevator car compared to a cable-operated elevator system is less. Furthermore, there are complex emergency braking devices and control devices necessary to prevent the car from falling on the one hand and on the other an exact approach to floors is possible. Overall, one is Elevator system cannot be compared to a cable-operated elevator system.

In order to obtain a simple guide for the car, it can consist of two guide rails be formed, along which the car is guided on one side.

Such guide rails can preferably be made of a T-profile and facing one another T-bars should be formed. The car is guided along the T-bars, for example can press guide wheels on both sides of a T-bar. The T-bars are usually used for emergency braking of the car at the same time.

To fasten the guide rails directly to the elevator frame can, the guide rails are spaced apart in the vertical direction in the elevator frame arranged U-brackets releasably attached.

A simple and sufficiently stable construction of the elevator scaffold or an elevator scaffold module results from the fact that an elevator scaffold module at least has essentially vertical corner stands and cross struts connecting them. Corner stands and cross struts can be tubular with round or angular and in particular square cross section. Corner stands and cross struts are preferred made of steel or another similarly stable material. Such materials are also sufficiently resistant to corrosion, whereby they increase further corrosion resistance can also be surface treated.

To attach the corner stands at their lower and upper ends in a simple manner To be able to, the elevator scaffold has a lower floor element and / or an upper one Cover element on which the corner stands are releasably attached. For example by screwing or the like. Floor element and ceiling element also increase the inherent stability by fastening with the corner stands of the elevator scaffold.

As a rule, an elevator system is arranged so that its lower end is in a Pit located below the level of a bottom access to the elevator system is. Furthermore, the elevator system extends to above the highest access or top floor. To assemble the elevator scaffold from modules accordingly To be able to do this, as elevator scaffold modules, at least one pit module, have a floor module and a ceiling module. The pit module extends for example up to the entry level of the lowest access. Then follow one corresponding number of floor modules. A floor module can, for example have a height corresponding to two, three or more floors. Furthermore, each floor module can only be accessed from the entry level Extend the floor to the entry level of the floor above. Finally the ceiling module connects to the top floor module. As with installations of elevator systems the height of the entire system is generally known beforehand, the ceiling module can also be designed as a combination of floor and ceiling module be, for example, from the entry level of the top floor extends upwards.

In order to be able to easily attach a U-bracket to the elevator scaffold, is such a bracket arranged on a cross strut. This can be done by screwing Welding or the like take place.

A floor module can be used to further simplify the installation of the elevator system have a floor access door directly. This is movably supported in the elevator frame. In this context it should be noted that the entire elevator electronics continue can also be delivered pre-assembled with the elevator system can, so that, for example, only corresponding ones in the area of the floor access doors Connections between the elevator electronics and those located on each floor Control buttons must be made.

To further simplify the installation of the elevator system, buffers for counterweight and / or car and / or a drive motor with a traction sheave on the Floor element can be arranged so that it is already pre-assembled for installation can be transported.

In an analogous manner, pulleys for the cable can be attached to a cross member in the elevator scaffold and / or be rotatably mounted on the ceiling element. About these pulleys the cable pull becomes on the one hand from the drive motor to the fixed point on the car and on the other hand to the fixed point on the counterweight.

Just like the guide for the car, the guide for the counterweight can have two guide rails, in particular on an outside of a U-leg of the U-bracket are releasably attached. For example, one Outside of a U-leg two guide rails can be releasably attached with their Assign T-bars to each other.

In order to be able to fasten the car in a simple manner with the cable, the Fixed point as a fixed point beam projecting essentially vertically from a car wall be formed, on which a car end of the cable is releasably attached. The The length of the fixed point beam is usually determined so that the cable is essentially vertically between the corresponding deflection roller and the fastening point on the fixed point support runs.

In order to be able to easily attach the cable to the counterweight, too a mounting insert for detachable fastening on an upper side of the counterweight the counterweight end of the cable can be arranged. This can also be designed in this way be that the cable between the associated pulley and attachment point runs essentially vertically on the mounting insert. You can also the pulleys and the corresponding attachment points on the fixed point carrier or Assembly insert can be arranged in one plane, preferably vertically between one Car wall and one side of the elevator scaffold runs. At this level you can also preferably be arranged the traction sheave.

To the at the point of attachment between the cable and car or counterweight A spring element can dampen the effects of force at the cable ends be arranged. This can be done in such a way that the cable pull through a hole is passed through in the fixed point support or assembly insert and between the actual one Cable end and the fixed point carrier or the mounting insert between this and the respective ends of the cable supporting spring element arranged is.

Each guide rail can be attached to U-brackets to simplify the assembly of the elevator system and / or detachable on the base element and / or cover element by means of fastening angles be attached.

In order to be able to precisely determine the respective position of the car in a simple manner, often becomes a rotating one above and below in the elevator shaft over disks and regulator rope attached to the car. Such a regulator cable can be used for Subject of application can also be used in a simple manner, one Controller console for the rotatable mounting of a controller cable drum on the outside a U-leg of a U-bracket or on a T-beam of a guide rail in particular is releasably attached in the area of the ceiling module. Another regulator rope drum can be attached in an analogous manner in the pit module or on the floor element his.

A simple guidance of the car and counterweight can advantageously be realized if car and / or counterweight guide shoes with guide slots have, in each guide slot a T-web of a guide rail at least is partially inserted. In addition, the guide shoes can also be used as emergency braking devices be formed by a crash or the like Narrowing the guide slot frictional engagement with the T-bar for braking the car and / or the counterweight.

A corresponding emergency braking device can also be used elsewhere and in a similar manner Be constructed in such a way.

To a large extent on supporting the elevator scaffold in an elevator shaft To be able to do without, the elevator scaffolding and each corresponding module can be self-supporting be trained. An elevator installation in Elevator shafts or buildings are installed that are not otherwise suitable Loads are designed. The self-supporting elevator frame is only on the side attached in the elevator shaft, so that essentially only forces perpendicular to the direction of travel the elevator car exerted on the elevator shaft surrounding the elevator frame become.

The elevator installation according to the invention can also be used entirely without an elevator shaft their self-supporting elevator scaffold can be built, where appropriate only that Pit module in a corresponding pit below the lowest access level for the elevator system is arranged. In such a case, it is used to cover the elevator scaffold of advantage if on this bracket for releasable attachment of in particular see-through cladding arranged on cross struts and / or corner stands are. When using such transparent coverings as glass surfaces or the like, there is also an optically impressive elevator system, such as nowadays they are often found in shopping centers, department stores, restaurants or the like is used.

For reasons of vibration suppression, particularly in the area of the drive device it is also advantageous if a vibration plate for storing the Drive motor with gear can be arranged on the floor element. By any vibrations that occur are damped and only slightly transfer the elevator scaffold and possibly the car.

Shortening the time to install the elevator system and reducing the time Installation costs can still be achieved in that each module already has guide rails is pre-assembled. The pre-assembly can also be done by attaching the rollers, the floor access doors, the buffer for counterweights and car, the drive motor etc. include.

In the following an advantageous embodiment of the invention based on the in the Drawing accompanying figures explained and described.

The elevator scaffold 5 and thus the individual modules 19, 20, 21 are made of corner stands 15 and these connecting cross struts 16 are formed. The corner stand 15 extend from a bottom element 17 closing the pit module 19 down to one the ceiling module 21 closing the ceiling element 18.

The floor element 17 is constructed essentially like a platform, the corresponding ones Platform sides are formed from beams, which are upwards by an end plate Are completed.

The ceiling element 18 can be constructed in a similar manner, with the floor element 17 and ceiling element 18 are releasably connected to the ends of the corner stand 15. The The connection between corner stands and these elements is made, for example, via Brackets or the like, which are not shown for simplicity.

The corner stands 15 can be installed in an elevator shaft Elevator system each extend over the height of the individual modules. The ends of the Corner stands are then connected to one another in a corresponding manner. However, it is also possible, the corner stand already over the entire height of the elevator system pre-assembled and equipped with the cross struts at an installation point for the elevator system to transport and install there, as it is especially for outside so-called glass elevators arranged in a building or within a building is an advantage.

As a rule, only the pit module 19 is below a lowest boarding level Elevator system arranged in a pit. The pit module has a pit ladder 59 on. This is used, for example, for maintenance purposes to mount one on the base element 17 Drive motor 25 reachable. The drive motor 25 also has a not shown Gear on and drives a traction sheave 26, of which a cable 3 with sufficient Driving ability is driven. Buffers 23 are still in the pit module 19 and 24, see Fig. 5, arranged for a counterweight 4 and a car 2.

In the position of the counterweight shown in FIG. 1, this is except for the buffer 23 lowered.

On an upper side 36 of the counterweight 4 is a counterweight end 38 of the cable 3 attached. The cable extends essentially vertically from this end up to adjacent to the ceiling element 18. There is the cable 3 around a pulley 28 substantially semicircular and then runs vertically downwards in the direction of the traction sheave 26 essentially wrapped in a semicircle and then the cable 3 runs vertically up to a second pulley 27. This is together with the other Deflection roller 28 by means of a cross member 50 in the ceiling module 21 directly below of the ceiling element 18 rotatably mounted. The cable 3 wraps around the deflection roller 27 also essentially semicircular and from there is vertically down to Car 2 out where the cable 3 is releasably attached with its car end 8. The Fastening point between car end 8 and car forms a fixed point 9, see Fig. 3. An analog fixed point is achieved by attaching the counterweight end 38 formed on the top 36 of the counterweight 4.

U-brackets 14 are fastened to cross struts 16 on one side of the elevator frame 5, see also the following figures and in particular Fig. 7. By means of this U-bracket 14 guides 6, 7 are held for car 2 and counterweight 4. The guide 6 for the car 2 has two guide rails 10, 11 which extend from the floor element 17 extend to a cross strut 16 in the ceiling module 21. Stand over this cross strut the guide rails upwards in the direction of the ceiling element 18. Also on U-bracket is that of two guide rails 29, 30, see also the following figures, formed guide 7 attached to the counterweight 4. The guide rails 29, 30 extend parallel to and over the same height as the guide rails 10, 11. Mounting brackets 39, 40 are used to fasten the guide rails, see for example Fig. 7, by means of which the guide rails 10, 11 and 29, 30 on the different U-brackets 14 are releasably attached.
