Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for maintaining the position of guides already aligned during the assembly step, in particular guides for lifts, elevators and the like.
  • the standard guides have male-female couplings of mating shape at their ends and at the runway.
  • the installator once the first guide has been mounted, aligns the second guide with the first one causing the male-shaped end portion to be received in the corresponding end portion of the subsequent female-shaped guide.
  • EP 381852 discloses an assembling system in which the end portions of guides in succession are fastened by suitable screws to a connecting plate disposed below and on either side of the guides themselves.
  • a further metal shell is also present that is disposed below the connecting plate and has a C-shaped section embracing the connecting plate on three sides thereof and also containing the guide bottom by means of the two end arms of the C-shaped configuration.
  • This alignment system at all events uses common guides with a male-female fitting.
  • the last-mentioned typology of alignment systems during the assembly step utilises two plates that are opposite to the central core of the guide and disposed on either side of the end portions of two guides in succession.
  • these plates are tightened by appropriate screws fastened by a nut directly to the guide bottom so that a wing emerging at the central core abuts against said core and exerts a high pressure thereon.
  • the assembly system using the two plates placed on either side of the central core of the guide could not be able to maintain alignment of the guides in a reliable manner after installation of the latter.
  • the tightening forces ensured by the screws are not always sufficient to control misalignment actions on the guides.
  • the invention aims at preventing formation of a cusp at the junction regions between different guides, by promoting a guide arrangement in the form of arcs of a circumference tending to a straight configuration as much as possible.
  • the invention further aims at making available a device particularly adapted in all applications for lifts/elevators intended for regions with seismic risks.
  • a still further aim of the invention is to maintain the geometries of the junction region after assembling, which assembling takes place following substantially standard procedures of a type hitherto known and common in the lift-manufacture industry.
  • Another aim of the invention is to enable use of standard guides made in accordance with the UNI regulations 7465:1997 (E) and subsequent ones, so as to enable application of same to already existing structures which however need an improvement in the running performance.
  • auxiliary aims of the invention there is offering a greater resistance to bending and enabling micrometric adjustment of the positioning of the different components.
  • a device for maintaining the position of guides in particular guides for lifts, elevators and the like has been generally identified by reference numeral 1.
  • the device first of all comprises two guides 2 of the standard type in accordance with the UNI regulations 7465:1997 (E) and subsequent ones, each guide having a base 3 and a portion 4 emerging from said base.
  • the section in a plane normal to the extension axis of the guides has a substantially inverted-T shape where the emerging portion 4 consists of the guide neck 4a (a generally unworked coarse surface) directly supporting the runway 4b of the guide itself.
  • these male-female fitting elements perform the function of enabling alignment of the guides during the assembly steps thereof.
  • the device further comprises a connecting plate 5 engaged at the lower part of base 3 of said guides 2.
  • the connecting plate 5 is longitudinally interposed between two guides in succession (to be joined together) and has such a width that it laterally projects on both sides from the overall dimensions of the guide base 3.
  • the connecting plate 5 has at least one, and preferably two, grooves 10 having an extension substantially parallel to the guide axis when guide 2 is in engagement with plate 5. These grooves 10 are symmetrically opposite to the emerging portion 4 of the guides and are also external to the overall dimensions of base 3.
  • two position-maintaining elements 6 defined by a plate-like central body 7 interposed between two end portions 8, 9.
  • the two position-maintaining elements 6 are positioned on either side of the two guides symmetrically disposed in mirror image relationship with respect to the longitudinal axis of the guides themselves.
  • Said elements are suitably shaped and sized so that the first of the end portions 8, during the assembly step, faces the runway of the guide without substantially exerting any pressure thereon.
  • the second end portion 9 of each position-maintaining element 6 is on the contrary in engagement with the connecting plate 5 to generate, as better specified in the following and as a result of displacements of the guides, at least one elastic reaction tending to bring guide 2 back to the original position.
  • the second end portion 9 is defined by a wing with a major extension transverse to the extension of the central body 7.
  • this wing is designed to be directly engaged in the respective groove 10 present in the connecting plate 5 (Figs. 1 and 4).
  • an abutment surface 9a of the wing abuts and rests against a side wall 10a of groove 10 still for generating said counter-reaction to a possible displacement of guides 2 from the original position.
  • the present device can be provided with adjusting means 16 to precisely define the faced position of the first end portion 8 with respect to the emerging portion 4 of guide 2.
  • this adjusting means will comprise micrometric screws 17 engaged in threaded seats present in the first end portion 8. This lateral micrometric-adjustment system will allow checking and adjustment of the horizontal guide alignment.
  • further adjusting means 18 interposed between the guides 2 and connecting plate 5 to establish position thereof relative to a vertical alignment.
  • This further adjusting means 18 are generally defined by appropriate micrometric screws.
  • engagement means 11 between the central body 7 and the connecting plate 5 to be preferably defined by a stud bolt 12.
  • the stud bolt 12 is provided with a first portion 12a designed to rigidly pack the base 3 of guide 2 together with the connecting plate 5 by means of tightening nuts as shown.
  • the second portion 12b (opposite to the first portion 12a of the stud bolt 12) will pass through a through seat 13 present in the central body 7 of the position-maintaining element 6.
  • This through seat 13 will generally have greater radial sizes than the second portion 12b of the stud bolt 12 and will be devoid of any threading because its function is substantially to constitute a passage point for engagement of the position-maintaining elements 6 with the connecting plate 5.
  • a vibration-damping bush 14 made of synthetic material can be also directly inserted between the second portion 12b of the stud bolt 12 and the position-maintaining element 6.
  • the bush will be for example at least partly inserted in the through seat 13 so as to reduce spreading of vibrations between the position-maintaining elements 6 and connecting plate 5.
  • the presence of a given number of stiffening ribs 15 directly interposed between the first end portion 8 and central body 7 may be also provided.
  • the two grooves 10 present in the plate of particular manufacture are able to hold wings 9 that in turn exert a holding action on the runway 4 restraining the guides from mutual rotation.
  • the presence of the two opposite elements is capable of avoiding arrangement of successive guides in such a manner as to form a broken line of segments, in favour of an arrangement forming arcs of a circumference.
  • the actions transmitted to the elevator car following passage at the junction regions of the guide appear to be greatly reduced, thereby increasing the elevator performance and passenger comfort.
  • the invention achieves important advantages.
  • the device of the invention enables use of standard guides in accordance with the previously quoted ISO regulations that do not require either additional working operations on the guides or removal of the male-female fitting elements, therefore enabling application of the present device also to already existing structures for which improved performance is needed.
  • the device enables the conditions generated during the assembly step to be maintained even after repeated cycles of use of the elevators.
  • the device offers a greater resistance to bending because the additional wings help in increasing the bending moment of inertia of the whole junction.
  • lateral adjusting screws and rear adjusting dowels enables gaps at the junction region to be greatly reduced.
  • these lateral adjusting screws allow the device in accordance with the invention to be also applied to unrefined surfaces such as the guide neck, for example.
