Description

Le domaine de l'invention est celui des ascenseurs. Plus précisément, l'invention concerne les équipements installés dans les gaines d'ascenseur pour assurer les déplacements de la cabine d'ascenseur.The field of the invention is that of lifts. More precisely, the invention relates to the equipment installed in the elevator shafts for ensure the movements of the elevator car.

On précise que l'on entend par ascenseurs non seulement les ascenseurs pour personnes mais également les monte-charges pour marchandises volumineuses.We specify that we mean by elevators not only lifts for people but also freight elevators large.

L'invention s'applique en particulier, mais non exclusivement, aux navires, notamment les navires pour passagers, les navires de charges, les navires militaires... Toutefois, la technique selon l'invention peut de façon similaire être appliquée aux bâtiments terrestres.The invention applies in particular, but not exclusively, to ships, including passenger ships, cargo ships, ships However, the technique according to the invention can similarly be applied to land buildings.

Un ascenseur est classiquement constitué par l'assemblage et le montage d'un certain nombre de parties constitutives dans la gaine de l'ascenseur. Les organes essentiels au fonctionnement de l'ascenseur sont :

  • la ou les cabines ;
  • les rails de guidage pour la ou les cabines ;
  • le ou les contrepoids ;
  • les rails de guidage pour le ou les contrepoids ;
  • la machinerie ;
  • les câbles de traction reliant la machinerie aux contrepoids et aux cabines ;
  • les goulottes de circulation de câbles électriques ;
  • ...
An elevator is conventionally constituted by the assembly and assembly of a number of constituent parts in the shaft of the elevator. The essential organs for the operation of the lift are:
  • the cabin or cabins;
  • guide rails for the one or more cabins;
  • the counterweight or counterweight;
  • guide rails for the counterweight or counterweights;
  • machinery;
  • traction cables connecting machinery to counterweights and cabins;
  • chutes for the circulation of electric cables;
  • ...

Généralement, les rails de guidage pour les cabines, les rails de guidage pour les contrepoids, les goulottes et les échelles sont regroupés sur l'ensemble des parois d'une gaine constituant l'enveloppe de l'ascenseur.Generally, the guide rails for the cabins, the guide rails for counterweights, chutes and ladders are grouped together walls of a sheath constituting the envelope of the elevator.

Actuellement, le montage des ascenseurs sur des navires est intégralement réalisé lors de la phase d'armement du navire : les différentes parties constitutives listées précédemment sont embarquées sous forme de pièces détachées et assemblées, le plus souvent par soudage, les unes aux autres et aux différents ponts du navire et parois de la gaine d'ascenseur.Currently, the assembly of lifts on ships is fully realized during the ship's cocking phase: the different component parts listed above are shipped as parts parts and assemblies, most often by welding, to each other and to different decks of the ship and walls of the elevator shaft.

Sachant que les navires équipés d'ascenseurs ou de montes-charges comportent généralement entre trois et quinze ponts, on comprend que les opérations de montage d'un ascenseur dans un navire s'avèrent longues et fastidieuses.Knowing that ships equipped with elevators or lifts generally comprise between three and fifteen bridges, it is understood that the Assembly of an elevator in a ship is long and tedious.

A titre indicatif, l'installation d'un ascenseur simple (une seule cabine) sur un navire comportant dix ponts représente un total d'environ 1 200 heures de main-d'oeuvre.As an indication, the installation of a simple elevator (one cabin) on a ship with ten bridges represents a total of approximately 1,200 hours of workforce.

En outre, une telle installation d'ascenseur implique un niveau de risques non négligeable du fait des conditions de travail dans la gaine d'ascenseur (travail en hauteur, espace restreint, projection de soudure, ...).In addition, such an elevator installation implies a level of risk not negligible because of the working conditions in the elevator shaft (work in height, restricted space, projection of welding, ...).

Or, la multiplication des opérations d'installation et la durée importante nécessaires à leur réalisation tend à confirmer, voire augmenter ce niveau de risques.However, the multiplication of the installation operations and the long duration necessary to achieve them tends to confirm or even increase this level of risks.

L'invention a notamment pour objectif de pallier les inconvénients de l'art antérieur.The purpose of the invention is in particular to overcome the disadvantages of the prior art.

Plus précisément, l'invention a pour objectif de proposer une nouvelle technique d'installation d'ascenseur qui permette de réduire notablement les temps d'installationMore specifically, the invention aims to propose a new elevator installation technique which significantly reduces the installation time

L'invention a également pour objectif de fournir une telle technique qui puisse s'intégrer aisément dans un navire. En ce sens, l'invention a aussi pour objectif de fournir une telle technique qui n'entraíne pas de surcharge ou de perte d'espace.The invention also aims to provide such a technique that can fit easily into a ship. In this sense, the invention also objective of providing such a technique that does not lead to overload or loss of space.

Un autre objectif de l'invention est de fournir une telle technique qui permette d'envisager des gains de coûts ou, à tout le moins, qui n'entraíne pas de surcoûts.Another object of the invention is to provide such a technique which to consider cost savings or, at the very least, that does not result in additional costs.

Un autre objectif de l'invention est de fournir une telle technique qui limite les risques encourus par le personnel qui installe l'ascenseur. Another object of the invention is to provide such a technique which limits the risks incurred by the staff installing the elevator.

Encore un autre objectif de l'invention est de fournir une telle technique qui puisse être utilisée quelle que soit la hauteur de la gaine d'ascenseur.Yet another object of the invention is to provide such a technique which can be used regardless of the height of the elevator shaft.

L'invention a encore pour objectif de fournir une telle technique qui soit simple de conception et facile à mettre en oeuvre.The invention also aims to provide such a technique that is simple in design and easy to implement.

Ces objectifs, ainsi que d'autres qui apparaítront par la suite, sont atteints grâce à l'invention qui a pour objet un élément destiné à équiper une gaine d'ascenseur, et comprenant :

  • au moins une armature porteuse ;
  • au moins un rail de guidage pour cabine ;
  • au moins un rail de guidage pour contrepoids ;
  • des moyens de maintien et/ou de fixation dudit élément à ladite gaine d'ascenseur,
ledit élément étant constitué sous forme d'un ensemble pré-assemblé prêt à être monté dans ladite gaine d'ascenseur caractérisé en ce que lesdits rails de guidage pour cabine et pour contrepoids sont doublés et montés sur ladite armature de telle sorte que ledit élément puisse être monté en position sensiblement centrale dans une gaine d'ascenseur prévue pour deux cabines, dit ascenseur duplex ou multiplex.These objectives, as well as others which will appear subsequently, are achieved by virtue of the invention, which relates to an element intended to equip an elevator shaft, and comprising:
  • at least one carrying frame;
  • at least one guide rail for a cabin;
  • at least one counterweight guide rail;
  • means for holding and / or fixing said element to said elevator shaft,
said element being constituted as a pre-assembled assembly ready to be mounted in said elevator shaft, characterized in that said cabin and counterweight guide rails are lined and mounted on said frame so that said element can be mounted in a substantially central position in an elevator shaft provided for two cabins, said elevator duplex or multiplex.

Grâce à l'invention, on peut réduire notablement les temps d'installation à bord des navires ou sur site par rapport aux solutions traditionnelles.Thanks to the invention, the installation times can be considerably reduced. on board ships or on-site compared to traditional solutions.

En effet, le nombre d'opérations réalisées pour l'installation à bord ou sur site de l'ascenseur est considérablement limité. Le temps de présence des ouvriers dans la gaine d'ascenseur est donc diminué en conséquence.Indeed, the number of operations carried out for the installation on board or on Elevator site is considerably limited. The time of presence of workers in the elevator shaft is therefore reduced accordingly.

De plus, le pré-assemblage de l'élément destiné à équiper la gaine est réalisé en usine, dans des conditions opératoires beaucoup plus confortables que dans une gaine d'ascenseur.In addition, the pre-assembly of the element intended to equip the sheath is performed in the factory, under much more comfortable operating conditions than in an elevator shaft.

On diminue ainsi les risques encourus par le personnel qui installe l'ascenseur, une grande partie des tâches d'assemblage étant déjà réalisées.This reduces the risks to staff who install the elevator, a large part of the assembly tasks already being carried out.

En outre, le pré-assemblage en usine permet d'envisager l'utilisation de techniques d'assemblage rapides, précises, et peu coûteuses, en ayant par exemple recours à des robots de soudage.In addition, pre-assembly at the factory makes it possible to envisage the use of fast, accurate, and inexpensive assembly techniques by having example use of welding robots.

Avantageusement, l'élément comprend également au moins une goulotte destinée à recevoir le câble d'alimentation électrique de ladite cabine d'ascenseur, l'élément comprenant avantageusement également au moins une échelle.Advantageously, the element also comprises at least one chute intended to receive the power supply cable of said cabin elevator, the element advantageously also comprising at least one ladder.

Ainsi constitué, l'élément contribue à réduire encore le temps nécessaire à l'installation globale de l'ascenseur, en diminuant le temps de présence des ouvriers dans la gaine d'ascenseur.Thus constituted, the element contributes to further reducing the necessary time to the overall installation of the lift, by reducing the time of presence of workers in the elevator shaft.

L'installation d'un ascenseur constitué d'éléments pré-assemblés selon l'invention sur un navire comportant dix ponts nécessite alors environ 600 heures, ce qui réduit de moitié le temps d'installation par rapport aux solutions traditionnelles.The installation of a lift consisting of pre-assembled elements according to the invention on a ship with ten decks then requires about 600 hours, reducing installation time by half compared to solutions traditional.

Selon une solution préférée, ladite armature porteuse comprend au moins un longeron destiné à s'étendre horizontalement, ledit rail de guidage pour cabine étant monté sur un côté dudit longeron, l'autre côté dudit longeron portant au moins deux supports solidaires chacun d'un rail de guidage pour contrepoids, de telle sorte que ledit longeron et lesdits supports délimitent ensemble un espace de circulation pour ledit contrepoids.According to a preferred solution, said carrier reinforcement comprises at least a spar for extending horizontally, said guide rail for cabin being mounted on one side of said spar, the other side of said spar bearing at least two supports each secured to a counterweight guide rail, such that said spar and said supports together delimit a space circulation for said counterweight.

Une telle armature s'avère peu encombrante et facilite ainsi son stockage, son transport et sa mise en place, ceci tout en présentant l'ensemble des fonctionnalités traditionnelles nécessaires au fonctionnement de l'ascenseur.Such a frame is space-saving and thus facilitates its storage, its transport and its implementation, while presenting all the traditional features necessary for the operation of the elevator.

Préférentiellement, ladite armature est solidaire d'au moins un barreau de consolidation destiné à s'étendre sensiblement verticalement.Preferably, said armature is integral with at least one bar of consolidation intended to extend substantially vertically.

Un tel barreau peut aisément être rapporté sur l'armature lors du pré-assemblage en usine. Ce barreau contribue à la rigidité de l'élément.Such a bar can easily be attached to the frame during the pre-assembly in factory. This bar contributes to the rigidity of the element.

Selon une variante envisageable, ce barreau peut être rapporté de manière temporaire sur l'armature pour la rigidité de l'élément pour le transport et l'embarquement à bord ou sur site et ensuite être enlevé une fois l'élément mis en place, la rigidité de l'élément étant alors simplement assurée par les rails de guidage pour cabine et contrepoids. According to one conceivable variant, this bar can be attached so temporary on the frame for the rigidity of the element for transport and boarding or on-site and then be removed once the item has been place, the rigidity of the element being then simply ensured by the rails of cab and counterweight guidance.

L'invention s'applique donc à tout type d'ascenseur, quels que soient la hauteur de la gaine et le nombre de cabines présentes dans celle-ci.The invention therefore applies to any type of elevator, whatever the height of the sheath and the number of cabins present in it.

Dans ce cas, l'élément comprend avantageusement au moins deux longerons destinés à s'étendre dans un même plan sensiblement horizontal et portant chacun au moins un rail de guidage pour cabine et au moins deux supports solidaires chacun d'un rail de guidage pour contrepoids, lesdits longerons étant préférentiellement reliés par au moins deux traverses de telle sorte que ladite armature porteuse forme un cadre.In this case, the element advantageously comprises at least two spars intended to extend in the same substantially horizontal plane and each carrying at least one guide rail for a cabin and at least two supports each secured to a counterweight guide rail, longitudinal members being preferably connected by at least two sleepers of such so that said carrier frame forms a frame.

Selon cet agencement, on obtient une armature de conception particulièrement simple et efficace, permettant de supporter l'ensemble des organes essentiels en présentant une grande capacité à supporter les contraintes mécaniques qui s'exercent sur elle.According to this arrangement, a design frame is obtained particularly simple and effective, allowing to support all essential organs by presenting a great capacity to withstand the constraints mechanics acting on it.

Selon une solution préférée, ledit cadre porte au moins un barreau, dit barreau central, s'étendant parallèlement aux dits longerons en occupant une position médiane entre ceux-ci, et portant à ses extrémités, ou au voisinage de celles-ci, lesdits moyens de maintien et/ou de fixation.According to a preferred solution, said frame carries at least one bar, said central bar, extending parallel to said longitudinal members occupying a middle position between them, and carrying at its ends, or in the vicinity of these, said holding means and / or fixing.

Un tel barreau permet d'être fixé sur chacun des ponts et/ou entreponts, que ce soit par boulonnage, par soudage ou goujonnage.Such a bar can be fixed on each bridge and / or between, whether by bolting, welding or dowelling.

Avantageusement, ladite ou lesdites goulottes sont portées par ledit ou lesdits longerons, ladite ou lesdites échelles étant avantageusement portées par ledit ou lesdits barreaux centraux.Advantageously, said channel or chutes are carried by said or said spars, said ladder or scales being advantageously borne by said central bar or bars.

On obtient ainsi un élément sur lequel sont répartis les différents organes de telle sorte que cet élément occupe un encombrement limité, que ce soit lors de son introduction dans la gaine d'ascenseur ou une fois installé dans celle-ci.We thus obtain an element on which are distributed the different organs so that this element occupies a limited space, whether during its introduction into the elevator shaft or once installed in it.

Selon une solution préférée, l'élément comprend au moins deux armatures porteuses sensiblement parallèles entre elles et reliées par ledit ou lesdits barreaux de consolidation.According to a preferred solution, the element comprises at least two carrying frames substantially parallel to each other and connected by said said consolidation bars.

Le nombre d'armatures constituant l'élément pourra varier autant que de besoin, notamment en fonction du nombre de ponts et/ou entreponts et/ou de la distance qui sépare ceux-ci. En tout état de cause, plus le nombre d'armatures est grand, plus on réduit le temps d'installation d'un ascenseur comprenant les éléments correspondants.The number of reinforcement constituting the element may vary as much as depending on the number of bridges and / or between-deck and / or distance that separates them. In any case, the more the number of frames is large, the more time it takes to install an elevator including corresponding elements.

On cherche donc à trouver un compromis entre le gain obtenu par le pré-assemblage des éléments et la difficulté engendrée par le transport et la mise en place d'un élément dont les dimensions sont augmentées.We therefore seek to find a compromise between the gain obtained by the pre-assembly elements and the difficulty caused by the transport and implementation of place an element whose dimensions are increased.

L'invention concerne aussi un ensemble destiné à équiper une gaine d'ascenseur, caractérisé en ce qu'il comprend :

  • au moins un élément comprenant au moins une armature porteuse, au moins un rail de guidage pour cabine, au moins un rail de guidage pour contrepoids, des moyens de maintien et/ou de fixation dudit élément à ladite gaine d'ascenseur, ledit élément étant constitué sous forme d'un ensemble pré-assemblé prêt à être monté dans ladite gaine d'ascenseur ;
  • au moins un module, dit module de fond de fosse, destiné à être rapporté à la base de ladite gaine d'ascenseur et comprenant au moins deux armatures porteuses, l'une présentant des moyens de réception desdits rails de guidage pour cabine, l'autre présentant des moyens de réception desdits rails de guidage pour contrepoids.
The invention also relates to an assembly intended to equip an elevator shaft, characterized in that it comprises:
  • at least one element comprising at least one carrying frame, at least one guide rail for a cabin, at least one counterweight guide rail, means for holding and / or fixing said element to said elevator shaft, said element being formed as a pre-assembled assembly ready to be mounted in said elevator shaft;
  • at least one module, called pit bottom module, intended to be attached to the base of said elevator shaft and comprising at least two load-bearing structures, one having means for receiving said cabin guide rails; another having means for receiving said counterweight guide rails.

On prévoit ainsi des moyens de coopération entre l'élément monté à la base de la gaine d'ascenseur et le module de fond de fosse. Ceci facilite donc le positionnement relatif ainsi que la fixation de l'élément de base sur le module de fond.This provides means of cooperation between the element mounted to the base of the elevator shaft and the bottom module of pit. This makes it easier relative positioning as well as the attachment of the base element to the module of background.

De plus, les armatures permettent de répartir les charges s'exerçant sur la tôle sur laquelle le module est posé. On évite ainsi de devoir renforcer au moins localement la tôle de fond, ce qui est nécessaire avec les techniques classiques pour que la tôle puisse supporter les contraintes qui s'exercent sur elle.In addition, the reinforcements make it possible to distribute the loads exerted on the sheet on which the module is placed. This avoids the need to reinforce at least locally the bottom plate, which is necessary with conventional techniques so that the sheet can withstand the stresses that are exerted on it.

Selon une solution avantageuse, ledit module de fond de fosse est constitué sous forme d'un ensemble pré-assemblé prêt à être monté.According to an advantageous solution, said bottom module is formed as a pre-assembled assembly ready to be mounted.

Ce module est donc pré-assemblé en usine, ce qui entraíne les mêmes avantages que ceux déjà énoncés précédemment concernant les éléments pré-assemblés.This module is therefore pre-assembled at the factory, which leads to the same advantages than those already stated above concerning the pre-assembled elements.

Préférentiellement, ledit module de fond de fosse porte l'un au moins des organes appartenant au groupe suivant :

  • limiteur de vitesse de la cabine ;
  • limiteur de vitesse du contrepoids ;
  • amortisseurs de la cabine ;
  • amortisseurs du contrepoids.
Preferably, said bottom module carries at least one of the following groups:
  • speed limiter of the cabin;
  • speed limiter of the counterweight;
  • booster dampers;
  • counterweight dampers.

On obtient ainsi un module complètement pré-équipé des organes classiques nécessaires au bon fonctionnement de l'ascenseur et/ou assurant les fonctions de sécurité dans celui-ci.This gives a completely pre-equipped module necessary for the proper functioning of the lift and / or ensuring the security functions in this one.

Selon une solution avantageuse, l'élément comprend également un plancher de machinerie, et formant un élément de fermeture de ladite gaine d'ascenseur à l'extrémité supérieure de celle-ci.According to an advantageous solution, the element also comprises a floor of machinery, and forming a closure element of said sheath elevator at the upper end thereof.

Selon une solution préférée, ledit plancher comprend au moins une armoire électrique, au moins un transformateur et au moins un moteur de fonctionnement d'ascenseur et est constitué sous forme d'un ensemble pré-assemblé prêt à être monté. On évite ainsi le montage sur site des différents éléments de machinerie qui habituellement sur fait directement sur site sur une tôle de pont et/ou entrepontAccording to a preferred solution, said floor comprises at least one electrical cabinet, at least one transformer and at least one motor elevator operation and is constituted as a pre-assembled assembly ready to be mounted. This avoids the on-site assembly of the different elements of machinery that usually on made directly on site on a deck plate and / or steer

L'invention concerne encore un procédé de montage d'un ensemble destiné à équiper une gaine d'ascenseur, caractérisé en ce qu'il comprend les étapes de :

  • réalisation d'au moins un module de fond de fosse sous forme d'un ensemble pré-assemblé prêt à être monté à la base de ladite gaine d'ascenseur ;
  • réalisation d'au moins un élément comprenant au moins une armature porteuse, au moins un rail de guidage pour cabine, au moins un rail de guidage pour contrepoids, des moyens de maintien et/ou de fixation dudit élément à ladite gaine d'ascenseur, ledit élément étant constitué sous forme d'un ensemble pré-assemblé prêt à être monté dans ladite gaine d'ascenseur;
  • mise en place et fixation dudit module de fond de fosse sur la base de ladite gaine d'ascenseur ;
  • mise en place et fixation d'au moins un élément sur ledit module de fond de fosse ;
  • accrochage des moyens de maintien et/ou de fixation dudit ou desdits éléments sur ladite gaine d'ascenseur.
The invention also relates to a method of mounting an assembly intended to equip an elevator shaft, characterized in that it comprises the steps of:
  • producing at least one pit bottom module in the form of a pre-assembled assembly ready to be mounted at the base of said elevator shaft;
  • embodiment of at least one element comprising at least one carrying frame, at least one guide rail for a cabin, at least one guide rail for a counterweight, means for holding and / or fixing said element to said elevator shaft, said element being constituted as a pre-assembled assembly ready to be mounted in said elevator shaft;
  • placing and fixing said pit bottom module on the base of said elevator shaft;
  • placing and fixing at least one element on said bottom module;
  • hooking means for holding and / or fixing said element or elements on said elevator shaft.

Il apparaít clairement à travers ce procédé de montage que l'installation d'un ascenseur selon l'invention, c'est-à-dire constitué d'éléments pré-assemblés, se réduit essentiellement à des opérations de fixation des éléments sur la gaine d'ascenseur et à quelques opérations de raccordement et/ou d'accouplement des éléments entre eux.It is clear through this mounting process that the installation of an elevator according to the invention, that is to say consisting of pre-assembled elements, is essentially reduced to operations of fixing elements on the elevator shaft and some connection and / or coupling the elements together.

Selon une solution avantageuse, le procédé comprend une étape de mise en place dudit plancher de machinerie par simple mise en appui et fixation dudit plancher sur des supports solidaires de ladite gaine d'ascenseur.According to an advantageous solution, the method comprises a step of setting in place of said floor machinery by simply placing in support and fixing said floor on supports integral with said elevator shaft.

Un tel plancher est installé de façon particulièrement simple dans la mesure où il suffit de le faire reposer sur ses supports et de le fixer par soudage, boulonnage ou goujonnage, des gains de temps pouvant donc à nouveau être obtenus de ce fait.Such a floor is installed in a particularly simple way in the measure where it is sufficient to rest it on its supports and fix it by welding, bolting or dowelling, so time savings can again be obtained from this fact.

La figure 1 illustre un ascenseur présentant deux cabines 1. On précise que, comme cela va apparaítre clairement par la suite, l'invention s'applique tant à des ascenseurs présentant une seule cabine qu'à des ascenseurs présentant deux cabines ou plus.FIG. 1 illustrates an elevator presenting two cabins 1. It is necessary to specify that, as will become clear later, the invention applies so much single-cabin elevators than elevators with two cabins or more.

En référence à la figure 1, un ascenseur comprend, à l'intérieur d'une gaine 10 formant l'enveloppe de l'ascenseur :

  • des rails de guidage 2a, 2b pour la ou les cabines 1 ;
  • des contrepoids 3 ;
  • des rails de guidage 31 pour le ou les contrepoids 3 ;
  • une machinerie 4;
  • des câbles de traction 41 reliant la machinerie 4 aux contrepoids 3 et aux cabines 1 ;
  • des goulottes 8 de circulation pour les câbles électrique 81 ;
  • des échelles (non représentées sur cette figure).
With reference to FIG. 1, an elevator comprises, inside a sheath 10 forming the envelope of the elevator:
  • guide rails 2a, 2b for the one or more cabins 1;
  • counterweights 3;
  • guide rails 31 for the counterweight (s) 3;
  • machinery 4;
  • traction cables 41 connecting the machinery 4 to the counterweight 3 and the cabins 1;
  • circulating chutes 8 for electrical cables 81;
  • scales (not shown in this figure).

Selon le mode de réalisation préférentiel de l'invention illustré par la figure 4, ces organes sont regroupés sous forme d'un élément pré-assemblé, prêt à être monté dans la gaine d'ascenseur, et comprenant :

  • une armature porteuse 5, solidaire de moyens de maintien et/ou de fixation 6 destinés à être solidarisés à des parties de pont et/ou entrepont 7 d'un navire ou à tout autre élément porté directement ou indirectement par la gaine d'ascenseur ;
  • un rail de guidage 2b pour une cabine 1 ;
  • des goulottes 8 ;
  • une échelle 9 ;
  • des rails de guidage (non illustrés sur cette figure et apparaissant avec la référence numérique 31 sur les figures 2 et 3).
According to the preferred embodiment of the invention illustrated in FIG. 4, these members are grouped together in the form of a pre-assembled element, ready to be mounted in the elevator shaft, and comprising:
  • a carrying frame 5, secured to holding and / or fixing means 6 intended to be secured to deck portions and / or steer 7 of a ship or any other element carried directly or indirectly by the elevator shaft;
  • a guide rail 2b for a cabin 1;
  • chutes 8;
  • a scale 9;
  • guide rails (not shown in this figure and appearing with the reference numeral 31 in Figures 2 and 3).

Selon le mode de réalisation de la figure 4, il apparaít clairement que l'élément préfabriqué est constitué d'une succession d'armatures porteuses 5 reliées entre elles d'une part par un rail de guidage 2b pour cabine, par des rails de guidage 31 pour contrepoids et par des barreaux de consolidation 51.According to the embodiment of FIG. 4, it is clear that the prefabricated element consists of a succession of load-bearing frameworks 5 interconnected on the one hand by a guide rail 2b for cabin, by rails guide 31 for counterweights and consolidation bars 51.

A titre indicatif, les armatures porteuses sont espacées les unes des autres en présentant un écartement d'environ 1,30 m entre elles et, pour des raisons de sécurité en cas d'ascenseur multiplex, une cloison s'étende verticalement entre les barreaux centraux 56, ladite cloison étant de préférence réalisée à partir d'une tôle légère ou d'un grillage.As an indication, the carrying frames are spaced from each other with a spacing of approximately 1.30 m between them and, for reasons of in the case of a multiplex elevator, a partition extends vertically between central bars 56, said partition being preferably made from a light sheet metal or wire mesh.

En référence à la figure 2 qui correspond à un mode de réalisation selon lequel l'ascenseur présente une cabine unique, l'armature porteuse est constituée par un longeron 52 portant sur l'un de ses côtés un rail de guidage 2b pour cabine et sur l'autre de ses côtés deux supports 53 portant les rails de guidage 31 pour le contrepoids 3.With reference to FIG. 2, which corresponds to an embodiment according to the elevator has a single cabin, the load-bearing frame is constituted by a spar 52 carrying on one of its sides a guide rail 2b for cabin and on the other of its sides two supports 53 carrying the guide rails 31 for the counterweight 3.

On note qu'ainsi constitué, le longeron 52 délimite avec les supports 53 un espace de circulation pour le contrepoids.It is noted that thus formed, the spar 52 delimits with the supports 53 a circulation space for the counterweight.

Selon ce mode de réalisation, le longeron 52 porte également une goulotte 8 et un des supports 53 porte une échelle 9 (celle-ci étant, pour des raisons de sécurité évidentes, montée entre le support 53 et la gaine 10 d'ascenseur).According to this embodiment, the spar 52 also carries a chute 8 and one of the supports 53 carries a scale 9 (the latter being, for obvious safety reasons, mounted between the support 53 and the sheath 10 elevator).

De plus, l'élément préfabriqué est maintenu fixement dans la gaine d'ascenseur à l'aide de moyens de fixation et/ou de maintien 6 portés d'une part par les supports 53 et d'autre part par un bras 54 fixé à une extrémité du longeron 52. In addition, the prefabricated element is held firmly in the sheath elevator with fastening means and / or holding 6 carried on the one hand by the supports 53 and on the other hand by an arm 54 fixed at one end of the spar 52.

En référence à la figure 3, qui correspond à un mode de réalisation selon lequel l'ascenseur présente deux cabines 1, l'armature porteuse est constituée par un cadre comprenant deux longerons 52 reliés à leur extrémité par des traverses 53, 55.With reference to FIG. 3, which corresponds to an embodiment according to the elevator has two cabins 1, the carrier is constituted by a frame comprising two longitudinal members 52 connected at their ends by sleepers 53, 55.

On note que l'une de ces traverses 53 constitue également un support des rails de guidage pour les contrepoids 3, un autre support 53 s'étendant à l'intérieur du cadre de l'armature porteuse.It is noted that one of these sleepers 53 also constitutes a support for guide rails for the counterweight 3, another support 53 extending to inside the frame of the carrying frame.

Tel qu'illustré, chacun des longerons 52 portent un rail de guidage pour cabine et des supports des rails de guidage pour contrepoids. Ainsi agencée, l'armature porteuse peut occuper une position centrale à l'intérieur d'une gaine d'ascenseur, en vue d'agir sur chacune des deux cabines montées de part et d'autre de l'armature.As illustrated, each of the longitudinal members 52 carry a guide rail for cab and supports guide rails for counterweight. Thus arranged, the load-bearing frame can occupy a central position inside a sheath elevator, in order to act on each of the two cabins mounted on the other of the frame.

Selon ce mode de réalisation, la fixation de l'élément pré-assemblé est réalisée à l'aide d'un barreau central 56 portant à ses extrémités des moyens de fixation 6 (ou dont les extrémités forment des moyens de fixations).According to this embodiment, the attachment of the pre-assembled element is made using a central bar 56 carrying at its ends means of fixation 6 (or whose ends form fastening means).

Ce barreau est désigné par le terme « central » dans la mesure où ce barreau occupe une position médiane entre les longerons 52, en s'étendant parallèlement à ceux-ci.This bar is designated by the term "central" insofar as this bar occupies a median position between the longitudinal members 52, extending parallel to these.

Tel que cela apparaít sur la figure 3, le barreau central porte des échelles 9 (les goulottes 8 étant, comme dans le cas de la cabine simple, portées par les longerons 52).As shown in FIG. 3, the central bar carries ladders 9 (the chutes 8 being, as in the case of the single cab, worn by the longitudinal members 52).

L'équipement d'une gaine d'ascenseur est donc réalisé par la mise en oeuvre :

  • d'un ou de plusieurs éléments pré-assemblés tels que l'un de ceux décrits précédemment ;
  • d'un module de fond de fosse, tel que celui illustré par la figure 5 ;
  • un plancher supportant la machinerie et formant l'élément de fermeture de la gaine d'ascenseur, du type du plancher illustré par la figure 6.
The equipment of an elevator shaft is thus produced by the implementation of:
  • one or more pre-assembled elements such as one of those described above;
  • a bottom module of the pit, such as that illustrated in FIG. 5;
  • a floor supporting the machinery and forming the closing element of the elevator shaft, of the type of the floor shown in FIG.

En référence à la figure 5, le module de fond de fosse 50 comprend deux armatures 501 et 502 constituées par des poutres présentant une section en forme de I, l'une des armatures 502 étant fixée à l'extrémité de l'autre armature 501 de telle sorte qu'elles forment un socle porteur en forme de T.With reference to FIG. 5, the pit bottom module 50 comprises two frames 501 and 502 constituted by beams having a shaped section of I, one of the armatures 502 being attached to the end of the other armature 501 of such that they form a T-shaped supporting base.

Tel que cela apparaít clairement, l'armature 501 porte des moyens de réception 5011 des rails de guidage pour cabine 2a, 2b et l'armature 502 porte des moyens de réception 5021 des rails de guidage 31 pour contrepoids.As it is clear, the frame 501 carries means of receiving 5011 of the guide rails for cab 2a, 2b and the frame 502 carries receiving means 5021 guide rails 31 for counterweight.

Selon une caractéristique du fond de fosse, celui-ci est constitué en un ensemble pré-assemblé, prêt à être monté au fond de la gaine d'ascenseur.According to a feature of the bottom of pit, it is constituted in a pre-assembled assembly, ready to be mounted at the bottom of the elevator shaft.

Un tel module de fond de fosse pré-assemblé est préférentiellement pré-équipé :

  • d'un limiteur de vitesse 506 de la cabine ;
  • d'un limiteur de vitesse 503 de contrepoids ;
  • d'un amortisseur 505 de la cabine ;
  • d'un amortisseur 504 du contrepoids.
Such a pre-assembled pit bottom module is preferably pre-equipped:
  • a speed limiter 506 of the car;
  • a speed limiter 503 counterweight;
  • a damper 505 of the cabin;
  • a damper 504 of the counterweight.

Tel qu'illustré par la figure 6, le plancher 60 de machinerie forme un moyen de fermeture pré-assemblé de la gaine d'ascenseur, en partie supérieure de celle-ci.As shown in Figure 6, the machine floor 60 forms a means of pre-assembled closure of the elevator shaft, in the upper part of it.

Ce plancher 62 de machinerie comporte, sur une tôle 61, deux armoires électriques 62, deux transformateurs 63 et deux moteurs 63 avec enrouleurs de câbles de traction 41.This floor 62 of machinery comprises, on a sheet 61, two cabinets 62, two transformers 63 and two motors 63 with winders traction cables 41.

Ce plancher 60 est installé simplement en le mettant en place sur des supports 101 solidaires de la gaine 10. Ces supports 101 soutiennent le plancher 60 et assurent son maintien par simple soudage, boulonnage ou goujonnage.This floor 60 is installed simply by putting it in place on supports 101 integral with the sheath 10. These supports 101 support the floor 60 and ensure its maintenance by simple welding, bolting or dowelling.

Le procédé de montage d'un ensemble d'équipements pour gaine d'ascenseur est réalisé de la manière suivante :

  • pré-assemblage d'un élément (ou de plusieurs éléments selon d'autres modes de réalisation) constitué d'une série d'armature porteuse, d'un rail de guidage pour cabine, de deux rails de guidage pour contrepoids et de moyens de maintien et/ou de fixation ladite gaine d'ascenseur,
  • pré-assemblage d'un module de fond de fosse tel que celui décrit précédemment,
  • pré-assemblage d'un plancher destiné à supporter la machinerie (moteur(s), transformateur(s), armoire(s) électrique(s)...), tel que celui décrit précédemment.
The assembly method of a set of equipment for elevator shaft is carried out as follows:
  • pre-assembly of an element (or several elements according to other embodiments) consisting of a series of carrier reinforcement, a guide rail for a cabin, two guide rails for counterweights and means for maintaining and / or fixing said elevator shaft,
  • pre-assembly of a pit bottom module such as that described above,
  • pre-assembly of a floor for supporting the machinery (motor (s), transformer (s), electrical cabinet (s) ...), as described above.

Préférentiellement, l'élément préfabriqué sera dimensionné de telle sorte qu'il soit nécessaire d'assembler deux (ou trois) éléments pour équiper toute la hauteur de la gaine d'ascenseur.Preferably, the prefabricated element will be dimensioned in such a way that it is necessary to assemble two (or three) elements to equip the whole height of the elevator shaft.

Par ailleurs, les éléments pré-fabriqués selon l'invention, ainsi que les modules de fond de fosse et le plancher de machinerie, sont réalisés en utilisant toute technique d'assemblage appropriée, par exemple par soudage ou boulonnage.Moreover, the pre-manufactured elements according to the invention, as well as the pit bottom modules and machinery floor, are made using any suitable joining technique, for example by welding or bolting.

Selon une phase initiale, le module de fond de fosse est présenté, positionné et fixé à la base de la gaine d'ascenseur.According to an initial phase, the bottom module of pit is presented, positioned and attached to the base of the elevator shaft.

Un rail de guidage pour la cabine est fixé dans la gaine d'ascenseur, sur une des parois de la gaine.A guide rail for the cab is fixed in the elevator shaft, on one of the walls of the sheath.

Le premier élément, enfilé dans la gaine est positionné par rapport aux moyens de réception du module de fond de fosse, ce premier élément coopérant avec le module de fond de fosse.The first element, slipped into the sheath, is positioned relative to the means for receiving the bottom module of the pit, this first cooperating element with the bottom module of pit.

Le ou les éléments préfabriqués sont enfilés dans la gaine d'ascenseur et fixés à celle-ci.The prefabricated element or elements are threaded into the elevator shaft and attached to it.

Dans le cas de plusieurs éléments, ceux-ci sont également solidarisés entre eux, par exemple à l'aide de platines boulonnées. Il faut de plus, dans ce cas, connectés électriquement les éléments entre eux.In the case of several elements, these are also joined together between them, for example using bolted plates. In addition, in this cases, electrically connected the elements together.

Cette connectique peut alors être obtenu en prévoyant sur chacun des éléments des tronçons d'une longueur correspondant à celle des éléments. Selon une variante, l'un des éléments (préférentiellement, l'élément monté en dernier en partie haute), porte la totalité de la longueur du câblage que l'on déroule à partir de l'élément correspondant jusqu'en bas da la gaine et en fixant ce câble aux autres éléments.This connection can then be obtained by planning on each of the elements of sections of a length corresponding to that of the elements. according to a variant, one of the elements (preferably, the element mounted last in the upper part), carries the entire length of the wiring that is unrolled. from the corresponding element down to the bottom of the sheath and fixing this cable to the other elements.

Les éléments préfabriqués sont conçus et montés de telle sorte que, en position finale, ils puissent être assemblés avec le bord libre que présentent les ponts et/ou entreponts à l'intérieur de la gaine d'ascenseur.The prefabricated elements are designed and assembled so that, in final position, they can be assembled with the free edge presented by the bridges and / or between spans inside the elevator shaft.

Cet assemblage est réalisé soit par soudage, soit par boulonnage (en particulier par la technique des goujons « auto-soudés » connus sous le nom de goujon Nelson).This assembly is carried out either by welding or by bolting (in particularly by the technique of "self-welded" studs known as stud Nelson).

Dans le cas d'un ascenseur à deux cabines, les éléments sont assemblés de façon à occuper une position centrale, formant une sorte d'arête centrale. Pour cela, le ou les éléments sont enfilés dans la gaine en étant tournés d'un quart de tour par rapport à leur position finale pour faciliter l'enfilement. Une fois présenté à la hauteur souhaité, l'élément est donc tourné d'environ 90° sur lui-même en vue d'être positionné sur les zones d'appui des ponts et/ou entreponts correspondants.In the case of a two-cabin elevator, the elements are assembled so as to occupy a central position, forming a sort of central ridge. For this, the element or elements are threaded into the sheath while being turned by a quarter of turn relative to their final position to facilitate the threading. Once presented at the desired height, the element is rotated about 90 ° on itself in order to be positioned on the support zones of the bridges and / or between correspondents.

Selon une phase finale, le plancher support de la machinerie est positionné sur des supports solidaires de la gaine.
Bien entendu, le montage complet comprend d'autres étapes classiques, concernant le câblage, l'éclairage...
According to a final phase, the support floor of the machinery is positioned on supports integral with the sheath.
Of course, the complete assembly includes other conventional steps, concerning wiring, lighting ...
