Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Gegengewicht für einen Vertikalaufzug, welches über ein über eine Umlenkeinrichtung laufendes Zugmittel mit einer Kabine verbunden ist. Das Gegengewicht weist einen ersten, an dem Zugmittel hängenden, in Vertikalrichtung sich erstreckenden Gestellrahmen und einen daran mittels Parallelogrammlenkern unter der Last seines Eigengewichts schwenkbar angehängten zweiten Gestellrahmen auf. Es ist ein Friktionsantrieb mit Antriebsmotoren vorhanden, der an jedem der beiden Gestellrahmen angetriebene, horizontale Wellen aufweist, die an beiden Seiten des jeweiligen Gestellrahmens zwei in Abstand übereinander vorstehende, freie Wellenenden bilden, auf denen ein Laufrad drehfest angeordnet ist. Diese Laufräder wälzen in der Funktionslage reibschlüssig auf Laufbahnen von Laufschienen ab, die beidseits des Gegengewichtes in Vertikalrichtung verlaufen.The invention relates to a counterweight for a vertical elevator, which is connected via a running over a deflection pulling means with a car. The counterweight has a first, hanging on the traction means, extending in the vertical direction frame frame and a pivotally attached thereto by means of parallelogram under the load of its own weight second frame frame. It is a friction drive with drive motors present, which has driven on each of the two frame frame, horizontal shafts, which form on both sides of the respective frame frame at a distance from one another projecting, free shaft ends on which an impeller is arranged rotationally fixed. These wheels roll in the functional position frictionally on raceways of rails, which extend on both sides of the counterweight in the vertical direction.

Ein Gegengewicht mit den vorgenannten Merkmalen ist aus dem Dokument DE 101 40 390 A1 bekannt. Dort sind die Antriebsmotoren für den Friktionsantrieb ausschließlich an dem ersten Gestellrahmen angeordnet, der an das Zugmittel angehängt ist. Jedem der Laufräder dieses ersten Gestellrahmens ist ein Antriebsmotor zugeordnet, der mit einer kurzen Antriebswelle mit dem zugehörigen Laufrad verbunden ist. Demgemäß haben die insgesamt vier am ersten Gestellrahmen vorhandenen Antriebswellen jeweils nur ein einziges aus dem Gestellrahmen herausgeführtes Wellenende, auf dem jeweils eines der Laufräder sitzt. In gleicher Weise sind auch bei dem zweiten Gestellrahmen, der als Schwingrahmen an dem ersten Gestellrahmen gelagert ist, vier Antriebswellen mit einem aus dem zweiten Gestellrahmen herausgeführten Wellenende vorhanden, auf dem jeweils ein Laufrad als Friktionsrad sitzt. Diese Antriebswellen sind mit den jeweils nächstliegenden Antriebswellen des ersten Gestellrahmens über Zahnradgetriebe verbunden, um von den an dem ersten Gestellrahmen angeordneten Antriebsmotoren angetrieben werden zu können.A counterweight with the aforementioned features is from the document DE 101 40 390 A1 known. There, the drive motors for the friction drive are arranged exclusively on the first frame frame, which is attached to the traction means. Each of the wheels of this first frame frame is associated with a drive motor which is connected to a short drive shaft with the associated impeller. Accordingly, the total of four drive shafts present on the first frame frame each have only one single shaft end guided out of the frame frame, on each of which one of the wheels sits. In the same way are also at the second frame frame, which is mounted as a swing frame on the first frame frame, four drive shafts with a led out of the second frame frame shaft end present, on each of which an impeller as a friction wheel sits. These drive shafts are connected to the respective nearest drive shafts of the first frame frame via gear transmission in order to be driven by the arranged on the first frame frame drive motors can.

Aus dem Dokument WO 01/70614 A1 ist ein mit einem Friktionsantrieb versehenes Gegengewicht für einen Aufzug bekannt, an welchem ebenfalls zwei Rahmenelemente vorhanden sind, von denen das eine nach Art einer schwingbaren Koppel an dem anderen Rahmenelement angehängt ist. Die Antriebsmotore sind bei dieser Ausführung ebenfalls nur an einem der beiden Rahmenelemente angeordnet und treiben ausschließlich die Laufräder an diesem Rahmenelement an. Demgemäß sind die Laufräder an dem zweiten Rahmenelement freilaufende Räder, die an antriebslosen Achsen angeordnet sind. Diese Achsen und auch die Antriebswellen des weiteren Rahmenelementes sind durchgehende Achsen bzw. Wellen mit seitlich aus dem betreffenden Rahmenelement herausgeführten Enden, auf denen die angetriebenen bzw. freilaufenden Laufräder sitzen.From the document WO 01/70614 A1 is provided with a friction drive counterweight for a lift, on which there are also two frame members, one of which is attached in the manner of a swingable coupling to the other frame member. The drive motors are also arranged in this embodiment only on one of the two frame members and drive exclusively the wheels on this frame member. Accordingly, the wheels on the second frame member are free-wheeling wheels disposed on non-driven axles. These axles and also the drive shafts of the further frame element are continuous axles or shafts with ends led out laterally out of the relevant frame element, on which the driven or freewheeling wheels are seated.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Gegengewicht der eingangs genannten Art zu schaffen, welches unter Beibehaltung des Friktionsantriebs für alle vorhandenen Laufräder am ersten Gestellrahmen sowie am zweiten Gestellrahmen einen einfacheren Aufbau aufweist.The invention has for its object to provide a counterweight of the type mentioned, which has a simpler structure while maintaining the friction drive for all existing wheels on the first frame and on the second frame.

Diese Aufgabe wird nach der Erfindung dadurch gelöst, daß sowohl am ersten Gestellrahmen als auch am zweiten Gestellrahmen zwei horizontale, durchgehende Antriebswellen in Abstand übereinander gelagert sind, welche jeweils mit ihren beiden Enden die an den Gestellrahmen seitlich vorstehenden, freien Wellenenden mit den darauf sitzenden Laufrädern bilden. Weiter sind sowohl am ersten Gestellrahmen als auch am zweiten Gestellrahmen zwei Antriebsmotore angeordnet, von denen jeder mit einer der beiden Antriebswellen des betreffenden Gestellrahmens gekuppelt ist.This object is achieved according to the invention in that both the first frame frame and the second frame frame two horizontal, continuous drive shafts are mounted one above the other at a distance, each with its two ends on the frame frame laterally projecting, free shaft ends with the wheels sitting thereon form. Next, two drive motors are arranged both on the first frame and on the second frame frame, each of which is coupled to one of the two drive shafts of the respective frame frame.

Für die Erfindung ist wesentlich, die beiden Gestellrahmen in gleicher Weise aufbauen zu können, indem sie je mit zwei Antriebsmotoren für den Friktionsantrieb bestückt sind, was insbesondere für den als Schwingrahmen ausgebildeten zweiten Gestellrahmen wegen der Gewichtsbelastung von Vorteil ist. Dadurch vergrößert sich die horizontale Gewichtskomponente, welche in die Reibkraft zwischen den Laufrädern und den Laufbahnen der Laufschienen eingeht. Ein Getriebe zur Übertragung des Drehantriebs von dem einen Gestellrahmen auf den zweiten Gestellrahmen ist nicht erforderlich, somit läuft das Gegengewicht auch leiser, weil insoweit Zahnradgeräusche entfallen.It is essential for the invention to be able to construct the two frame frames in the same way by each being equipped with two drive motors for the friction drive, which is advantageous in particular for the second frame frame designed as a swing frame because of the weight load. This increases the horizontal weight component, which enters into the frictional force between the wheels and the raceways of the rails. A transmission for transmitting the rotary drive from the one frame frame to the second frame frame is not required, thus running counterweight even quieter, because so far eliminates gear noise.

Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungsmerkmale der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den Unteransprüchen.Advantageous design features of the invention will become apparent from the dependent claims.

Im einzelnen zeigt Fig. 1 einen ersten Gestellrahmen 1.1 und einen zweiten Gestellrahmen 1.2, die eine rechteckige Grundform aufweisen und formatgleich sind. So setzt sich der Gestellrahmen 1.1 aus querverlaufenden Rahmenteilen 2.1 und längslaufenden Rahmenteilen 3.1 zusammen, dementsprechend weist das zweite Rahmenteil 1.2 querlaufende Rahmenteile 2.2 und längslaufende Rahmenteile 3.2 auf. Für die Verbindung des aus den Gestellrahmen 1.1 und 1.2 zusammenfügbaren Gegengewichtes mit dem Zugmittel, insbesondere einem Seil, an dessen anderen Ende die Aufzugkabine angeordnet ist, ist an dem ersten Rahmengestell 1.1 eine Aufnahmevorrichtung 4 vorgesehen.In detail, Fig. 1 shows a first frame 1.1 and a second frame frame 1.2, which have a rectangular basic shape and are the same format. Thus, the frame 1.1 is composed of transverse frame parts 2.1 and longitudinal frame parts 3.1 together, accordingly, the second frame part 1.2 has transverse frame sections 2.2 and longitudinally extending frame parts 3.2. For the connection of the frame frame 1.1 and 1.2 joinable counterweight with the traction means, in particular a rope at the other end of the elevator car is arranged, a receiving device 4 is provided on the first frame 1.1.

Zwischen den längslaufenden Rahmenteilen 3.1 des Gestellrahmens 1.1 erstreckt sich eine obere Antriebswelle 5.1 und in Abstand darunter eine untere Antriebswelle 6.1, die beide nach außen aus dem Gestellrahmen 1.1 herausgeführte, freie Wellenenden 7.1 und 8.1 aufweisen, auf denen Laufräder 9.1 drehfest angeordnet sind. In analoger Weise finden sich bei dem zweiten Gestellrahmen 1.2 eine obere Antriebswelle 5.2 und eine untere Antriebswelle 6.2 mit aus dem Gestellrahmen 1.2 seitlich herausgeführten, freien Wellenenden 7.2 und 8.2, auf denen drehfest Laufräder 9.2 sitzen.Between the longitudinal frame parts 3.1 of the frame frame 1.1 extends an upper drive shaft 5.1 and at a distance below a lower drive shaft 6.1, both have outwardly led out of the frame frame 1.1, free shaft ends 7.1 and 8.1, on which wheels 9.1 are arranged rotationally fixed. In an analogous manner can be found in the second frame 1.2 an upper drive shaft 5.2 and a lower drive shaft 6.2 with the frame frame 1.2 laterally led out, free shaft ends 7.2 and 8.2, on which non-rotatably runners 9.2 sit.

Für den Drehantrieb der beiden Antriebswellen 5.1 und 6.1 des ersten Gestellrahmens 1.1 sind Antriebsmotore 10.1 und 11.1 vorgesehen, bei denen es sich um Getriebemotore handelt. So weist der Antriebsmotor 10.1 einen Elektromotor 12.1 und ein daran angeflanschtes Getriebe 14.1 auf, dessen Abtriebswelle zugleich die Antriebswelle 5.1 für die angetriebenen Laufräder 9.1 ist. In gleicher Weise besteht auch der Antriebsmotor 11.1 für die zweite Antriebswelle 6.1 aus einem Elektromotor 13.1 und einem Getriebe 15.1. Dementsprechend werden auch die beiden Antriebswellen 5.2 und 6.2 des zweiten Gestellrahmens 1.2 von Antriebsmotoren 10.2 und 11.2 angetrieben, die jeweils aus einem Elektromotor 12.2 und 13.2 sowie einem Getriebe 14.2 und 15.2 bestehen. So handelt es sich auch bei den Laufrädern 9.2 des zweiten Gestellrahmens 1.2 um angetriebene Laufräder.For the rotary drive of the two drive shafts 5.1 and 6.1 of the first frame 1.1 drive motors 10.1 and 11.1 are provided, which are geared motors. Thus, the drive motor 10.1 has an electric motor 12.1 and a gear 14.1 flanged thereto, the output shaft of which is at the same time the drive shaft 5.1 for the driven wheels 9.1. In the same way, the drive motor 11.1 for the second drive shaft 6.1 consists of an electric motor 13.1 and a transmission 15.1. Accordingly, the two drive shafts 5.2 and 6.2 of the second frame 1.2 are driven by drive motors 10.2 and 11.2, each consisting of an electric motor 12.2 and 13.2 and a transmission 14.2 and 15.2. So it is also in the wheels 9.2 of the second frame 1.2 to driven wheels.

Die beiden Gestellrahmen 1.1 und 1.2 werden mittels Parallelogrammlenkern 16 miteinander gekoppelt. So stellt der an dem ersten Gestellrahmen 1.1 angehängte zweite Gestellrahmen 1.2 eine schwingende Koppel dar, wodurch der zweite Gestellrahmen 1.2 relativ zu dem ersten Gestellrahmen 1.1 geschwenkt werden kann und sich jeder Punkt des zweiten Gestellrahmens 1.2 auf einer Kreisbahn bewegt, deren Radius gleich der wirksamen Länge der Parallelogrammlenker 16 ist. Dies kann unter Ausnutzung des Eigengewichtes des zweiten Gestellrahmens 1.2 dazu genutzt werden, die Laufräder 9.1 des ersten Gestellrahmens 1.1 und die Laufräder 9.2 des zweiten Gestellrahmens 1.2, soweit sie einander nächstliegend angeordnet sind, voneinander wegzuspreizen oder aufeinander zuzubewegen bzw. in den entsprechenden Richtungen mit einer Druckkraft zu beaufschlagen.The two frame frames 1.1 and 1.2 are coupled together by means of parallelogram 16. Thus, attached to the first frame 1.1 frames second frame 1.2 is a swinging coupling, whereby the second frame frame 1.2 can be pivoted relative to the first frame frame 1.1 and each point of the second frame frame 1.2 moves on a circular path whose radius is equal to the effective length of the parallelogram 16. This can be used by taking advantage of the weight of the second frame frame 1.2, the wheels 9.1 of the first frame 1.1 and the wheels 9.2 of the second frame 1.2, as far as they are next to each other, wegzuspreizen or move towards each other or in the appropriate directions with a Pressurizing force.

Die Parallelogrammlenker 16 sind mit ihrem einen Ende 17 auf den in der montierten Lage des Gegengewichtes einander benachbarten Antriebswellen 5.1 und 5.2 sowie 6.1 und 6.2 der Gestellrahmen 1.1, 1.2 gelagert. In der Quermitte sind die Parallelogrammlenker 16 geteilt, und es weisen die beiden identischen Hälften der Parallelogrammlenker 16 hier miteinander verschraubbare Flanschplatten 18 auf.The parallelogram link 16 are mounted with their one end 17 on the adjacent in the mounted position of the counterweight drive shafts 5.1 and 5.2 and 6.1 and 6.2 of the frame 1.1, 1.2. In the transverse center of the parallelogram 16 are divided, and it has the two identical halves of the parallelogram 16 here screwed together flange plates 18.

Die Figuren 2 bis 4 veranschaulichen die zusammengefügte Anordnung der Gestellrahmen 1.1 und 1.2, die zusammen mit daran angebrachten Beschwerungsgewichten 21 das Gegengewicht bilden. In der funktionsgerechten Lage sind die beiden Gestellrahmen 1.1 und 1.2 aufrecht in der Vertikalrichtung angeordnet, und beidseits des Gegengewichtes verlaufen in Vertikalrichtung Laufschienen 19 mit Laufbahnen 20, an denen sich die Laufräder 9.1 und 9.2 der beiden Gestellrahmen 1.1 und 1.2 reibschlüssig abwälzen. Wie dazu Fig. 3 deutlich macht, sind in der Eingriffslage der Laufräder 9.1 und 9.2 die beiden Gestellrahmen 1.1 und 1.2 höhengleich angeordnet, dementsprechend haben die einander nächstliegenden Antriebswellen 5.1 und 5.2 sowie 6.1 und 6.2 eine voneinander differierende Höhenlage, wie sich insbesondere aus Fig. 2 ergibt.Figures 2 to 4 illustrate the assembled arrangement of the frame frames 1.1 and 1.2, which together with attached thereto weight weights 21 form the counterweight. In the functional position, the two frame frames 1.1 and 1.2 are arranged upright in the vertical direction, and run on both sides of the counterweight in the vertical direction rails 19 with raceways 20, where the wheels 9.1 and 9.2 of the two frame 1.1 and 1.2 roll frictionally. As shown in FIG. 3 makes clear, in the engaged position of the wheels 9.1 and 9.2, the two frame frames 1.1 and 1.2 arranged in the same height, accordingly, the closest to each other Drive shafts 5.1 and 5.2 and 6.1 and 6.2 a different altitude from each other, as is apparent in particular from FIG.

Die Antriebsmotore 10.1, 10.2 und 11.1, 11.2 sind mit ihren Elektromotoren 12.1, 12.2 und 13.1, 13.2 im wesentlichen senkrechtstehend zu den Antriebswellen 5.1, 5.2 und 6.1, 6.2 angeordnet, so daß sich die Motorenachse der Elektromotoren 12.1, 12.2; 13.1, 13.2 in einer Vertikalebene erstreckt. Zweckmäßig sind die Antriebsmotore 10.1, 10.2 und 11.1, 11.2 nach oben hin aufrechtstehend relativ zu den Antriebswellen 5.1, 5.2; 6.1, 6.2 angeordnet und von der vertikalen Längsmitte Rahmenteile 1.1, 1.2 seitlich nach außen voneinander weggerückt, womit sie sich nahe der längslaufenden Rahmenteile 3.1 bzw. 3.2 der Gestellrahmen 1.1, 1.2 befinden. Die Antriebsmotore 10.1, 10.2, 11.1, 11.2 sind jeweils mittels einer Drehmomentenstütze 22 an den längslaufenden Rahmenteilen 3.1, 3.2 abgestützt. Die Motorenachsen der Elektromotore 12.1, 13.1 der Antriebsmotore 10.1, 11.1 des Rahmengestells 1.1 fluchten in Vertikalrichtung miteinander, dem entspricht auch die Ausrichtung der Antriebsmotore 10.2, 11.2 am zweiten Rahmengestell 1.2. Damit läßt sich insgesamt eine optimale Gewichtsverteilung an dem gesamten Gegengewicht erreichen, außerdem belasten die an den Rahmengestellen 1.1, 1.2 lagegesicherten Antriebsmotore 10.1, 10.2; 11.1, 11.2 die Antriebswellen 5.1, 5.2; 6.1, 6.2 in einem möglichst geringen Umfange mit einem Biegemoment.The drive motors 10.1, 10.2 and 11.1, 11.2 are arranged with their electric motors 12.1, 12.2 and 13.1, 13.2 substantially perpendicular to the drive shafts 5.1, 5.2 and 6.1, 6.2, so that the motor axis of the electric motors 12.1, 12.2; 13.1, 13.2 extends in a vertical plane. Suitably, the drive motors 10.1, 10.2 and 11.1, 11.2 are upwardly upright relative to the drive shafts 5.1, 5.2; 6.1, 6.2 arranged and from the vertical longitudinal center frame parts 1.1, 1.2 laterally moved away from each other, so they are near the longitudinal frame parts 3.1 and 3.2 of the frame 1.1, 1.2. The drive motors 10.1, 10.2, 11.1, 11.2 are each supported by means of a torque support 22 on the longitudinal frame parts 3.1, 3.2. The motor axes of the electric motors 12.1, 13.1 of the drive motors 10.1, 11.1 of the frame 1.1 are aligned with each other in the vertical direction, which also corresponds to the orientation of the drive motors 10.2, 11.2 on the second frame 1.2. This can be achieved on the whole an optimal weight distribution to the entire counterweight, also burden on the frame racks 1.1, 1.2 position secured drive motors 10.1, 10.2; 11.1, 11.2 the drive shafts 5.1, 5.2; 6.1, 6.2 in the smallest possible extent with a bending moment.
