Abstract
Description
- The invention relates in particular to a safety device, destined to be mounted on the cabin of an elevator, able to brake the cabin both on an upwards and a downwards journey. The device fulfils its objective by means of two blocking wedges which intervene automatically in case of excessive cabin speed. One of the two wedges is effective on an upward journey while the other acts on the downward journey.
- A device of this type is taught in the prior art, in which the wedges are located vertically one above the other, one in the upper and one in the lower parts of a support which is solidly constrained to the cabin.
- Prior art devices of the above-cited type are particularly unwieldy, especially in a vertical direction. Generally speaking, it would be best if the braking device were as small as possible, given the limited space available in the elevator shaft.
- Another
safety braking device 17 also know for example from DE-U-296 14 516. - The main aim of the present invention is to provide a safety device which is constructionally simple and economical, and which is of a relatively contained mass.
- An advantage of the invention is that it provides a device with reduced masses both vertically and horizontally.
- A further advantage is that it provides a safety device having remarkable flexibility and reliability.
- These aims and advantages and more besides are attained by the present invention, as it is characterised in the claims that follow.
- Further characteristics and advantages of the present invention will better emerge from the detailed description which follows of a preferred but non-exclusive embodiment of the invention, illustrated in the form of a non-limiting example in the accompanying figures of the drawings, in which:
- figure 1 is a schematic side view in vertical elevation of the invention, in the configuration assumed during normal elevator operation:
- figure 2 is a partially-sectioned plan view from above of figure 1;
- figure 3 is the view of figure 1, with some parts removed better to evidence others;
- figure 4 is the view of figure 3 with some other parts removed better to evidence others;
- figure 5 shows the device of figure 3 in a configuration assumed when the elevator is moving at an excessive speed in an upwards direction;
- figure 6 shows the device in the view of figure 4, in a configuration assumed when the elevator is moving at an excessive speed in a downwards direction.
-
- With reference to the above-mentioned figures, 1 denotes in its entirety a safety braking device for elevators, for braking an elevator travelling both in an upwards and in a downwards direction.
- The
device 1 comprises asupport 2 destined to be solidly constrained to the cabin of the elevator. - A flexible organ, for example a cable 3, is predisposed in the elevator shaft and is commanded by means of a control device of known type to make the cabin go up and down during normal operation. A fixed metal element 4 is also present in the shaft, elongate in a vertical direction throughout more or less the whole length of the shaft.
- A
bracket 5 with two vertically-extendingslots 6 and 7 is arranged on a vertical section of the cable 3, with theslots 6 and 7 virtually parallel to the cable 3 and aligned one with another, with one arranged above the other in a vertical direction. Theslots 6 and 7 act as sliding guides for each for one of two cursors. Each cursor has hinged to it, about a pivot with a horizontal rotation axis perpendicular to the lengthwise extension of theslots 6 and 7, an end of a lever, respectively 8 and 9 in the figures, which lever has an opposite end pivoted to thesupport 2 about a pivot, respectively 10 and 11 in the figures, also having a horizontal rotation axis. Thelevers - The
device 1 comprises two blockingwedges wedges corresponding levers wedge 13 for upwards blocking has a lower end hinged to the lower lever 9 (figure 3), while the wedge for downwards blocking has an upper end which is hinged to the upper lever (8) (figure 4). The twowedges - Each
wedge guide support 2. The twoguides corresponding wedge same block 16 solidly constrained to thesupport 2. - Each
wedge wedge guide wedge - The two
levers bracket 5 and therelative wedges support 2 and thebracket 5 causes the displacement of the downwards-acting wedge 12 (or upwards-acting wedge 13) into the active position. - During normal elevator operation the two cursors coupled slidingly in the
slots 6 and 7 of the bracket are situated in proximity of an end-run limit position in the relative slot. The lower cursor is close to the upper limit of the lower slot 7 while the upper cursor is close to the lower limit of theupper slot 6. - A first activation lever (in the present example the lower lever 9) is hinged to the corresponding wedge (in the present example the upwards-acting wedge 13) by means of a
pivot 17 which is at least partially housed in anaperture 18 made in the body of the other wedge (in this case the downwards-acting wedge 12). Thepivot 17 can move internally of theaperture 18. The activatinglevers wedges wedge 12 is interposed between thelower lever 9 and the upwards-actingwedge 13, which is laterally more external than the downwards-actingwedge 12 and to which thelever 9 itself is connected. Theaperture 18 afforded on the downwards-actingwedge 12 enables thelower lever 9 to be connected to the upwards-actingwedge 13 by means of thepivot 17 which crosses theaperture 18. Furthermore, theaperture 18 is conformed so as to enable thewedges pivot 17 of the more external of the wedges, in this case the upwards-actingwedge 13, interfering with the laterally more internal of the wedges, in this case the downwards-actingwedge 12. - The
device 1 comprises acounter-wedge 19, constrained oscillatingly to thesupport 2, arranged to one side of the fixed vertical element 4 opposite to the side thewedges counter-wedge 19 can co-operate with bothwedges - In the illustrated example, the
counter-wedge 19 is rotatably coupled, about apivot 20 with a vertical rotation axis parallel to the fixed vertical element 4, to anarm 21 developing horizontally, which arm is in turn rotatably coupled, about apivot 22 having a vertical axis, to thesupport 2. Thearm 21 extends in a parallel direction to the axes of thepivots levers support 2. The longitudinal axis of thearm 21 is coplanar to thepivot - One or more elastic elements, constituted for example by Belleville washers, here generically referred-to as
springs 23, mounted on thesupport 2 and arranged by the side of thelevers counter-wedge 19, and precisely can act on the opposite side to where the fixed vertical element 4 is located, and on which thewedges counter-wedge 19 act. - During cabin braking the
springs 23 are predisposed to press thecounter-wedge 19 on to the fixed element 4 together with the action of thewedge counter-wedge 19 co-operates with the wedge to brake the cabin. Thesprings 23 act on thecounter-wedge 19 only when there is an excessive cabin speed, either upwards or downwards. During normal operation thecounter-wedge 19 is not pressed by thesprings 23 against the element 4. - When one of the two
wedges shafts counter-wedge 19, which act as brake shoes. - The device operation will now be briefly described.
- During normal operating conditions, with the cabin still or moving at a predetermined speed, the cable 3 and the
support 2 anchored to the cabin are not in relative motion. The twowedges counter-wedge 19, are therefore kept in the inactive position and do not brake the cabin. - When the cabin accelerates in a downwards direction above the accepted speed, the device automatically intervenes to brake it as follows. Owing to the effect of the downwards acceleration, the cabin and cable have relative motion, and the
support 2 anchored to the cabin displaces downwards with respect to thebracket 5 anchored to the cable. The lower cursor, to which thelower lever 9 is hinged, can slide along the lower slot 7 so that thelower lever 9 stays practically still with respect to thesupport 2, maintaining thewedge 13 in the inactive position. The upper cursor, on the other hand, interacts contactingly with the lower limit of theupper slot 6, so that theupper lever 8 is rotated upwards about thepivot 10 on the support 2 (compare figures 4 and 6). - Consequently the downwards-acting
wedge 12 is pushed upwards relatively to thesupport 2 and is guided by the relativeinclined plane 14 towards the element 4 which vertically lifts in the elevator shaft. - The contact between the
wedge 12 and the fixed element 4 automatically also activates the counter-wedge 19. Thearm 21 to which the counter-wedge 19 is constrained tends to rotate (in clockwise direction with reference to figure 2) about thepivot 22 connecting it to thesupport 2, opposingly to the action of thesprings 23. The springs are thus loaded, in a cabin-braking situation, by the relative motion of thecounter-wedge supporting arm 21 against thesupport 2. - The compression of the
springs 23 determines a locking force between thewedge 12, the counter-wedge 19 and the element 4, which force brakes the cabin and is adjustable by means of regulation of thesprings 23. The springs should be regulated so that the braking force is sufficient to block the cabin, but should not be so strong as to render difficult or impossible the unblocking of the cabin once the emergency situation has subsided. - Should the cabin exceed the permitted speed in an upwards direction, the cabin and the cable are relatively mobile, and the
support 2 displaces upwards with respect to thebracket 5. Owing to this relation motion, theupper lever 8 stays still with respect to thesupport 2, maintaining therelative wedge 12 in the inactive position, while thelower lever 9 is rotated downwards about thepivot 11 on the support 2 (compare figures 1 and 3), drawing thewedge 13 downwards to block descent. Thewedge 13 is guided by the relativeinclined plane 15 towards the fixed element 4. The contacting interaction between thewedge 13 and the fixed element 4 causes the counter-wedge 19 to intervene, in the same way as for the downwards braking described above, so that the fixed element 4 is compressed between thewedge 13 and the counter-wedge 19, and the cabin is braked.
