Definitions

  • the invention relates to elevators and, in particular, to elevators wherein the elevator cage is mounted on one or more ropes or belts by means of a pulley arrangement.
  • Pulley arrangements are commonly used in the elevator industry to mount and drive an elevator cage along ropes arranged within a hoistway in a building.
  • a pulley box containing two pulleys is mounted on the cage so that as the rope is driven, whether by hydraulic ram or traction sheave, it travels down along one side of the hoistway, engages with one of the pulleys deflecting it through 90°, traverses across the car, engages with the other pulley which deflects it back into the vertical plane, and travels upwards along the opposite side of the hoistway.
  • the pulley box can be mounted to the cage at a point above the passenger car or it can be mounted below the passenger car in which case it is called an underslung arrangement. Such an arrangement is illustrated and described in EP-A2-0983957 .
  • the ratio of the diameter of the pulleys to the nominal diameter of the suspension ropes should be at least 40.
  • the diameter of each pulley is significantly larger than its width and consequently the height of the pulley box is greater that its width.
  • an upper surface 18 of the pulley box 8 is mounted to the cage either directly to a base of the passenger car or, if the car is contained within a frame, to a lower yoke of the car frame.
  • the majority of the vertical forces F are transferred through the lowermost portions A of the pulleys 9. Accordingly, if the pulley box 8 tilts by an angle ⁇ , a relatively large bending moment is exerted about the mounting point of the pulley box.
  • both the pulley box 8 itself and the conventional means for mounting the pulley box 8 to the cage must be capable of withstanding substantial bending moments, otherwise as the cage and the pulley box tilt, the unrestrained bending moment and the tilt angle of the pulley box would progressively increase until eventually the pulley box is permanently deformed or torn from its mounting.
  • the objective of the present invention is to reduce the bending moments about the point at which the pulley box is mounted to the cage.
  • This objective is achieved by providing an elevator cage comprising a car, a support member connected to the car, and a pulley box housing a pair of pulleys mounted to the pulley box by pulley axles, CHARACTERISED IN THAT the pulley box is mounted to the support member through one or more points located below a first line bisecting the pulley axles and above a second line defining a lowest common tangent between the pulleys.
  • the mounting points of the invention are located closer to the lowermost portions of the pulleys through which the majority of the vertical forces are transferred and hence the bending moments about the mounting points are significantly reduced.
  • the pulley box is mounted on one or more mounting axles extending from the support member.
  • This arrangement greatly simplifies the assembly of the elevator cage on site and makes horizontal adjustment of the pulley box much easier since the mounting axles are relatively accessible after installation in comparison to the bolts used in the prior art to mount an upper surface of the pulley box to a car floor or to the yoke.
  • the transmission for any vibration from the pulley box to the car can be significantly reduced by providing resilient material between the pulley box and each mounting axle.
  • the invention permits an arrangement wherein the support member is a yoke which is fixed directly to a floor of the car. If this configuration is used, it is beneficial to provide a closing plate which is secured to the floor of the car and engages with each mounting axle at an end remote from the yoke such that the pulley box is disposed between the closing plate and the yoke. Accordingly, vertical forces are transmitted not only through the yoke but also through the closing plate. As the force transmitted through the yoke is reduced, it can have a light weight structure in comparison to the prior art.
  • the yoke and the closing plate are both formed from sheet metal.
  • the support member may form a part of a frame in which the car is suspended.
  • the car is resiliently suspended within the frame so that vibrations from the frame are dampened before they reach the car.
  • Fig. 2 shows an elevator cage 1 supported by a pulley box 8 on ropes 11 within an elevator hoistway (not shown).
  • the cage 1 comprises a conventional car 2 having a plurality of side walls 3, a roof 4 and a floor 5 defining a transport space for passengers and/or goods.
  • a support yoke 6 is mounted directly beneath the floor 5 of the car 2.
  • the yoke 6 has two parallel mounting axles 7 extending horizontally outwards into corresponding holes 22 in the pulley box 8.
  • a diverting pulley 9 is mounted on a pulley axle 10 at either end of pulley box 8 to engage with the suspension ropes 11.
  • the mounting axles 7 and the corresponding holes 22 are located between a first line P bisecting the pulley axles 10 and a second line Q defining a lowest common tangent between the pulleys 9.
  • the lowest common tangent Q corresponds to a line between the lowermost sections A of the pulleys 9.
  • Fig. 3 is a partial side view of arrangement of Fig. 2 which further illustrates the yoke 6 and pulley box 8.
  • the yoke 6 is a solid I-beam with upper flanges 12 that are firmly secured to the bottom of the car floor 5 by a series of bolts or rivets 13.
  • Each mounting axle 7 is inserted into a through-hole 14 in the I-beam 6 and secured in position at weld points 15.
  • Further elevator components (not shown) such as guide shoes or safety gear can be mounted to a bottom surface 16 of the yoke 6.
  • the pulley box 8 is of an inverted U-shape construction having opposing side sections 17 interconnected by an intermediate section 18.
  • the pulley box 8 is fabricated from sheet metal.
  • Bolts 19 are used to fasten the free edges of the opposing side sections 17 together and thereby improve the overall structural rigidity of the pulley box 8.
  • Each diverting pulley 9 is rotatably mounted on a pulley axle 10 via a bearing 20.
  • the pulley axles 10 are secured to the opposing side sections 17 of the pulley box 8 in any conventional manner.
  • Outer circumferential grooves 21 are provided on the diverting pulley 9 to engage and retain the suspension ropes 11.
  • the mounting axles 7 are inserted through the mounting holes 22 in the opposing side sections 17 of the pulley box 8. In use, as the pulleys 9 rotate due to their interaction with the ropes 11, vibrations can be generated in the pulley box 8.
  • a resilient ring insert 23 is provided between each of the mounting holes 22 and the respective mounting axles 7 to absorb this vibration.
  • Fig. 4 shows an alternative embodiment of the invention wherein the relatively heavy I-beam used as the support yoke 6 in the previous embodiment is replaced by a light weight structure.
  • the yoke 6 in this instance comprises a pair of vertically aligned sheet metal plates 24 interconnected by rigid web members 25.
  • upper flanges 26 on the sheet metal plates 24 are firmly secured to the bottom of the car floor 5 by a series of bolts or rivets 13 and the mounting axles 7 are secured in position at weld points 15.
  • a closing plate 27 is provided at opposing ends of the mounting axles 7 such that the pulley box 8 is positioned intermediate the yoke 6 and the closing plate 27.
  • the closing plate 27 is formed from a sheet metal plate which is bent over to give a double wall structure. An upper flange 29 of the closing plate 27 is secured to the car floor 5 by a series of bolts or rivets 13 and holes 28 are punched through the closing plate 27 to accommodate the mounting axles 7.
  • the closing plate 27 is not fixed to the mounting axles 7 and therefore it cannot transmit any horizontal forces between the pulley box 8 and the car 2. However, any vertical forces between the pulley box 8 and the car 2 are shared between the closing plate 27 and the support yoke 6.
  • FIG. 5 An alternative to the previously described underslung arrangements is shown in Fig. 5 .
  • the car 2 is supported through anti-vibrational pads 33 to a frame 30.
  • the frame 30 comprises an upper crosshead 31, a lower yoke 6 and a pair of uprights 32.
  • the pulley box 8 in this instance is supported on mounting axles 7 extending from the crosshead 31.
  • pulley box 8 and the pulleys 9 can easily be modified to engage with a belt or belts instead of the ropes 11 previously described.
