Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for decommissioning an elevator system consisting of one that Speed one with a carrying rope Monitor counterweight connected elevator car Speed limiter, the movement of the Elevator car or the counterweight by means of a Limiter rope on the speed limiter is transferred, the shutdown of the elevator system Triggers overspeed.
  • a Speed limiter has become known which the Driving speed of an elevator car monitored.
  • the Elevator car drives a pulley over a wire rope with integrated locking ring.
  • a cam wheel offset a pendulum lever with a pendulum nose in pendulum movements.
  • An operating lever can be rotated on the pendulum lever stored, opposite by means of a restraint the pendulum lever is held at rest.
  • the top end the actuating lever is designed as an actuating bracket, at the lower end sits opposite a pendulum nose protruding release nose. Both noses are always there between two spear teeth when the pendulum roller on a cam stands.
  • both lugs are off the path of the Ratchet teeth raised. This moves them Ratchet teeth without effect past the noses.
  • the pendulum roller lifts off the cam wheel at excessive speed.
  • the release lug remains immersed in the blocking ring track.
  • a ratchet tooth engages and guides the release lug the operating lever. This switches the Actuator bracket switches off the drive.
  • At further increase in cabin speed plunges the Pendulum nose in the ropeway and blocked over the Ratchet teeth the pulley. Due to the friction in the Rope groove becomes the force to trigger a Safety gear installed.
  • a disadvantage of the known device is that monitoring and decommissioning of the elevator car only in in the downward direction.
  • the invention seeks to remedy this.
  • the invention as characterized in claim 1, solves the problem to avoid the disadvantages of the known device and to create a facility that the elevator car in the Monitored upward and downward direction and stops in an emergency.
  • the advantages achieved by the invention are in essential to see that the release forces after a Stopping in the upward direction is very low.
  • the Release from the catch is with the existing driving ability the traction sheave possible, which is particularly the case with machine room-less elevator systems is important.
  • none of the devices according to the invention creates additional load on the drive and excessive Delays excluded. With the inventive Facility can use elevator systems without changes to the Lift cabs can be easily retrofitted.
  • 1 is not one in one shown elevator shaft movable elevator car referred to, which by means of a traction sheave 2 guided carrying rope 3 connected to a counterweight 4 is.
  • a traction sheave 2 guided carrying rope 3 connected to a counterweight 4 is.
  • the movement of the elevator car 1 and the Counterweight 4 by means of a governor rope 6 on the Speed limiter 5 is transmitted.
  • the Limiter rope 6 extends over the entire shaft height and is at the bottom of the shaft by means of a pulley 7 deflected and tensioned as well as at the top of the shaft a pulley of the speed limiter 5 out.
  • the ends of the limiter rope 6 are rotatable on one the first release lever 8 mounted on the elevator car 1 moored in an emergency in the elevator car 1 arranged safety gear 9 actuated. After loosening the An elevator car 1 from the catch sets a return spring 10 the first release lever 8 and the safety device 9 back.
  • a boom 11 is arranged through which the governor rope 6 is guided. Near boom 11 carries a firmly connected to the governor rope 6 Spring base 12 a compensating spring 13, with its Presses spring force against the boom 11.
  • Outrigger 11, Spring base 12 and compensating spring 13 form one elastic rope coupling, the different rope expansions can accommodate between suspension cable 3 and 6 limiter rope.
  • a trigger mechanism 14 of the speed limiter 5 operated at over speed of the elevator car 1 in Upward direction a rope brake 15.
  • the speed limiter 5 does not become upward as blocked at overspeed in the downward direction, but the rope brake 15 by means of the trigger mechanism 14 operated.
  • the rope brake 15 must be at least compensate for unbalanced forces on the traction sheave 2, to further accelerate the ascending To prevent elevator car 1. With a higher one The system will brake accordingly System moment of inertia delayed.
  • the from the rope brake 15 braking force to be applied must be at least as large like the maximum rope force difference on the traction sheave 2.
  • FIG. 2 shows details of the speed limiter 5, the trigger mechanism 14 and the rope brake 15.
  • Das Limiter rope 6 is connected to a first axis 16 rotatably mounted pulley 17 with a rope groove guided.
  • the first axis 16 is from a housing 18 carried.
  • On the sheave 17 is a locking ring 19 with Locking ring teeth 20 and a cam wheel 21 with cams 22 arranged.
  • the housing 18 carries a second axis 23 of a pendulum lever 24 rotatable with a pendulum roller 25 is stored. This follows at normal speed Pendulum roller 25 formed by the cams 22 Cam track of the cam wheel 21. At overspeed the pendulum roller 25 due to the inertia of Pendulum lever 24 of the cam track no longer to follow.
  • a first nose 26 is arranged, which at Normal speed of the elevator car 1 between two Ratchet teeth 20 immersed when the pendulum roller 25 on a cam 22 stands and which from the path of Ratchet teeth 20 is raised when the pendulum roller 25 stands between two cams 22. If the speed is too high The elevator car 1 in the downward direction remains the first nose 26 stand between two ratchet teeth 20, the right one Flank of the subsequent ratchet tooth 20 on the first Nose 26 is pending and the locking ring 19 and thus the Pulley 17 blocked. Due to the relative movement of the Elevator car 1 opposite the blocked governor rope 6 is the safety device by means of the first release lever 8 9 indented and the elevator car 1 to the Guide rails fixed.
  • Pendulum lever 24 At the opposite end of the pendulum roller 25 Pendulum lever 24 is an operating lever 27 on one third axis 28 of the pendulum lever 24 rotatably arranged.
  • the operating lever 27 is by means of a Restraint device, for example by means of a Schnäppers relative to the pendulum lever 24 in a rest position held.
  • a second nose 29 of the actuating lever 27 dives at normal speed of elevator car 1 between two ratchet teeth 20 when the pendulum roller 25 stands on a cam 22 and becomes the web of Ratchet teeth 20 is raised when the pendulum roller 25 stands between two cams 22.
  • the Brake shoe 34 moves down and is by means of Compression spring 33 against at least one on the housing 18 arranged counter jaw 35 pressed, the between the Baking 34, 35 running limiter rope 6 is braked.
  • the braking force exerted on the governor rope 6 brakes the Elevator car 1 and the counterweight 4 gently off and is depending on the spring force of the compression spring 33, the Surface of the jaws 34, 35 and from the surface of the Limiter rope 6. Braking takes place via the limiter rope 6, spring base 12, compensating spring 13 and boom 11 the counterweight 4.
  • 3 and 4 show a device for stopping the Elevator car 1 at overspeed in the upward direction by means of a rope brake 15 acting on the supporting rope 3.
  • the movement of the second release lever 31, 32 is by means of a Bowden cable 36 on the second release lever 31.1, 32.1 the rope brake 15 with the same functionality the rope brake 15 transmitted.
  • the Speed limiter 5 used as a rope brake become.
  • This variant is used at overspeed the elevator car 1 in the upward direction of the locking ring 19 by means of a further nose arranged on the pendulum lever 24 blocked. Due to the friction of the governor rope 6 in the specially designed rope groove of the blocked Pulley 17 creates a sufficiently large braking force if the governor rope 6 is very high pretensioned.
  • the one for monitoring overspeeds of the Elevator car 1 used in the downward direction Speed limiter 5 with the pendulum lever 24 and the first nose 26 can easily be used to monitor Elevator car overspeed 1 in Upward direction to be retrofitted.
  • the cultivation of the Actuating lever 27 and the rope brake 15 is easy makeable.
