Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a manually operable Emergency rescue device for a lift in or on one Building with a cabin, by means of movable supporting organs is guided over a traction sheave, which traction sheave means an elevator drive with elevator motor, brake and with or without Transmission is driven, the emergency release device from a manually operated Drive element, a device for the production of an operative connection between this drive element and the elevator drive, mechanical transmission means and Operating elements for the remote operation of the operative connection consists of the elevator drive.
  • the present invention is intended for lifts that are not automatic Have Evacuierfahrt Surprise. In such cases occurs the evacuation, or the emergency release of the trapped Passengers by manually opening the brake and turning a Handwheel or the flywheel on the elevator motor. Such however, manual emergency exemption requires good accessibility ahead of the facilities to be operated.
  • EP-A-0244030 discloses a hand-operated release and release device Drive device for stairlifts and similar passenger transport devices.
  • this device can be a handwheel with coupling sleeve on a longitudinally displaceable Shaft be pushed, wherein against spring force two bevel pinions engaged and actuated an electrical contact become. Simultaneously with the pushing movement of the handwheel shaft the brake on the drive motor of the conveyor ventilated.
  • the present invention is based on the object, a improved, manually operated emergency release device to which works safely and easily too operate and cost executable.
  • the emergency relief device is characterized characterized in that for manually moving the elevator car via the elevator drive a simple, mechanical crank mechanism preferably with a flexible shaft and a switchable gearbox for the operative connection with the Elevator drive are available. Since the switchable gear this Gear along its axis, ie along the tooth flanks, remains displaceable without changing the depth of engagement remains the gear during the release operation safely engaged.
  • the elevator car can be a flexible shaft or a Crank linkage can be used.
  • crown gear as a switchable operative connection has the advantage that the axis of the on and off disengageable gear not necessarily parallel to the axis of the Elevator motor needs to lie, which is an unfavorable would require arrangement of the transmission means. It is also thus a reaction-free in the axial direction Torque transmission and the engagement and disengagement of Operative connection possible while maintaining the same depth of engagement.
  • crank mechanism and the controls are preferably combined in an actuating niche arranged, with the operating niche both somewhere in the Shaft wall or in the door front on a floor can be provided. With an arrangement in the door front is a partial prefabrication in the factory possible.
  • the controls are characterized by simple construction.
  • Purpose-matched controls are in the form of a first self-return handle on the crank device and a pull handle which remains in the pulled position educated.
  • the first pull handle on the crank mechanism can be designed as a bicycle brake handle and the second Pull handle has a toggle mechanism to the drawn To hold a position.
  • At least one control contact directly at the Emergency release device and further follow-up contacts on Elevator drive and in the elevator control secure one safe operation of the emergency release device, in particular even with unexpected reconnection of the mains voltage during a liberation act.
  • the elevator is after an emergency release provided again for normal operation, provided that that in the meantime the cause of the breakdown has been corrected.
  • FIG 1 is an elevator drive with the inventive Emergency release device shown.
  • the elevator drive is not directly accessible and arranged in the elevator shaft from an elevator motor 23, a brake 25 with a Bremslpropmagnet 21, a gear 26 and a traction sheave 27. Over these are Tragorgane 28 looped, which leads to a not shown elevator car and not to one lead shown counterweight.
  • On the elevator motor 23 is on the free end face a crown wheel 2 on the elevator motor shaft end attached. This crown wheel belongs to the with the Elevator drive directly in actively connected module of the Emergency release device on the elevator motor 23 of the Elevator drive laterally via serving as an adapter Mounting part 22 is attached.
  • the active elements of this Assembly are housed in a housing 8.
  • the Housing 8 leads a shaft 4, the housing outlet right in a bearing 5 is held and the housing outlet left in a Shaft coupling 9 ends.
  • On the right end of the shaft sits as Gear a cylindrical pinion 3.
  • On the otherwise free Shaft end of the elevator motor 23 is a crown gear, in the Episode crown gear 2 called, attached and forms together with the pinion 3 a crown gear 1, when the pinion. 3 in engagement with the crown wheel 2 is.
  • I'm partial cut housing shown 8 is an engagement fork 11th present, which is pivotally mounted at the bottom and above with a forked end rests against a pressure ring 6, the immediately to the right of the spring 7 longitudinally displaceable is available.
  • the longitudinal displacement of the shaft 4 is performed by a pull wire 12 of a Bowden cable 13.
  • Whose pull wire 12 is with the engagement fork 11 operatively connected and pulls when pressed the engagement fork 11 via the pressure ring 6 against the force of Spring 7, the shaft 4 and with this the pinion 3 to the left in the engagement with the crown wheel 2.
  • the Crown gear 1 ready for operation.
  • the shaft coupling 9 is the rigid shaft 4 with a flexible shaft 15 rotatably connected, one with the shaft 4 is shifting Shift sleeve 10 during the coupling process a safety switch 30 operated inevitably.
  • the operating parts of the emergency release device are in one accommodated from the outside accessible operating niche 24.
  • the Operating niche 24 can, in principle, be located somewhere in the home near the elevator.
  • the actuation niche 24 is advantageous with a flap, door or a slider locked and is accessible to instructed persons.
  • the Distance to the elevator drive is only practical through the executable lengths of flexible mechanical Transmission means limited. In the present application These are distances of, for example, two to three Meters.
  • a pull handle 14 and a hand crank 16 In the operating niche 24 are a pull handle 14 and a hand crank 16.
  • the folding of the pull handle 14 causes over the cable 13 with a pull wire 12, the coupling of the Crown gear 1. Thanks to the toggle mechanism of the handle 14 this remains in the pulled position.
  • a pull handle 18 At the winch 16 is on a grip sleeve 17, a pull handle 18 in the exemplary form of a bicycle brake handle available.
  • the pull handle 18 via a cable 19 a pull wire 29, the operation of a brake lever 20 at a brake magnet 21 and thus a release of the brake 25 of Elevator drive.
  • the hand crank 16 can now on the crown gear 1 of the elevator motor 23 and thus via the gear 26, the traction sheave 27 and the Support members 28 the elevator car in the desired direction to be moved.
  • a simple mechanical, Not shown floor display device informs the Person at the winch 16 about the cabin position. This can for example, in the form of markings on the supporting organs 28 be executed, what a visual link to these presupposes.
  • the crown gear 2 shows the crown gear in the plan view with the Tooth crown of the crown gear 2 and the cylindrical gear 3.
  • the teeth of the crown wheel 2 and the teeth of the pinion. 3 have a favorable for the mutual intervention form. It is those of the crown wheel 2 in the direction of Center and those of the pinion 3 in the opposite direction designed to taper slightly tapered for this purpose.
  • the likelihood of mechanical inhibition Clash of tooth cross-sectional areas during intervention of the pinion 3 in the tooth crown of the crown gear 2 extremely low.
  • the operating niche 24 in the shaft wall planned, must be in the appropriate place an opening with be provided lockable access door.
  • the operating niche 24 is next to the door front housed a landing door.
  • this placement type can a door front with a box on the back and be provided on the front side and already in the factory prefabricated.
  • a crown gear 1 can, with appropriate Adjustments, also a spur gear or an internally toothed Gear can be used.
  • a spur gear or an internally toothed Gear can be used.
  • This Designs are suitable for lifts in which in the axial direction the engine room is available, e.g. at shallow or flat lying engines.
