Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for sealing a gap between the car door and cabin wall of an elevator car according to the definition of the claims.
  • the patent EP 0418510 relates to a device for a door seal against sound in elevator cars with automatic doors. These doors normally have small gaps between door jambs and door leaves, fighters and door leaves, inner door leaves and outer doors of telescopic doors, and between the lower door sill and door sill to avoid contact with door movements between moving and fixed parts. To seal and cover this column, the doors are in the closed state of the door vertical, a gap closing post seals, on the top of the door sliding fender seals, in the threshold door seals and vertical edge seals on the front edges of the door wings available. These seals close all gaps around with the door closed and thus largely prevent the penetration of outside the cabin mechanically generated noise.
  • a disadvantage of this known device is the great mechanical complexity and the associated high production costs. Another disadvantage is the high cost of adjustment and maintenance work.
  • JP 2001294388 discloses an expansible spherical body and JP 10077186 discloses rotatable steel plates which insulate the elevator car.
  • the present invention is based on the object to provide a device which does not have the disadvantages mentioned and largely eliminates gaps between the door and the cabin.
  • a sealing device with a simple structure is to be created, which operates independently of the door movement.
  • a device for sealing a gap between the car door and the car wall of an elevator car during the car journey comprises a sealing strip which has at least two walls, which walls can be reversibly tensioned in front of the gap.
  • the advantages achieved by the invention are essentially to be seen in the fact that by clamping the wall, the various gaps are no longer present when the car door is closed or no longer have a disadvantageous effect and that a corresponding device may at most be retrofitted.
  • the sealing strip is activated only while driving and the wall stretched in front of the gap.
  • the sealing strip is an elastic hollow body, which hollow body can be acted upon by compressed air and / or vacuum.
  • the advantages achieved by this design are that the seal is actively sealed only in the closed state, that it is non-contact during the door movement, that it is only engaged while driving (if necessary only at a certain speed) and thus has no influence on the door movement, closing or locking the door.
  • the sealing strip advantageously has iron strips and at least one electromagnet, which is electrically activated.
  • the invention solves a long-standing prejudice of the art, according to which no additional component to be arranged on the elevator car in order to save weight and cost.
  • hollow bodies or electromagnets are arranged around the cabin opening of an elevator car.
  • compressed air or vacuum lines are required. It has now surprisingly been found that these components are lightweight and inexpensive, allow a substantial improvement in ride comfort and a remarkable simplification of the mechanical structures for sound insulation in elevator cars.
  • Fig. 1 the second variant is shown.
  • the air compressed by the pressure source 7 reaches the pressure vessel 6.
  • the Indian Fig. 2 shown hollow body 8 is dimensioned in a depressurized state such that a necessary for the free opening and closing of the car doors distance from the cabin wall 2 is ensured.
  • incoming compressed air 5 expands the elastic hollow body 8 according to Fig. 2 balloon-like, so that it is pressed against the car door 3 and thereby seals the gap 11 between the car door 3 and the cabin wall 2 pressure and soundproof.
  • the elevator control system transfers directional valves electromagnetically from a first position acting on the sealing strip 4 with the feed pressure into a second position venting the sealing strip 4.
  • the elevator control releases the door opening and closing of the elevator car 1 at the stop only when all the pressure switches report the completion of the ventilation.
  • the sealing strip 4 can be evacuated. In this case, connect the outlet opening of the directional control valves to the suction line of a vacuum source. The vacuum causes a faster Abfahrrschaft the sealing strip. 4
  • FIG. 3 A further advantageous embodiment of the invention is disclosed in Fig. 3 explained, wherein the sealing strip 4 is not operated pneumatically by compressed air, but electromagnetically by an electromagnet 9.
  • the flexible sealing strip 4 is not arranged on the cabin wall 2, but on the car door 3.
  • iron strips 10 are additionally embedded, which are in interaction with the arranged in the car door frame rod-shaped electromagnet 9 when the car doors 3 are closed.
  • Fig. 4b shows the sealing strip 4 in the activated position when a voltage is applied to the solenoid 9, the car door 3 are closed and the elevator car moves.
  • Fig. 4a shows the sealing strip 4 in the deactivated position when no voltage is applied to the solenoid 9 and the car doors 3 are closed or opened while the elevator car is at the floor stop.
  • the rod-shaped electromagnet 9 can be replaced by a plurality of punctiform electromagnets.
  • the sealing strip 4 is stiff enough to lie tightly over the entire length.
  • the solenoid 9 can also sit in the doors and the sealing strip in the cabin wall. The control of the electromagnet is advantageously carried out via the door control.
