Description

Technisches UmfeldTechnical environment

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Notbremseinrichtung für eine Aufzugskabine nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to an emergency brake device for an elevator car according to the preamble of claim 1.

Aufzüge sind mit Brems- oder Fangeinrichtungen versehen, die dazu dienen, die Aufzugskabine im Falle einer unzulässig hohen Geschwindigkeit, wie sie z.B. bei Steuerungsfehlern oder im Falle eines Tragseilbruchs auftreten, abzubremsen.Lifts are provided with braking or catching devices which serve to lift the elevator car in the event of an excessively high speed, e.g. in the event of control errors or in the event of a break in the ropeway, decelerate.

Die Aktivierung der Fang- oder Bremseinrichtung erfolgt bei bekannten derartigen Einrichtungen von einem fix im Schacht oder Maschinenraum montierten Geschwindigkeitsbegrenzer, der bei einer Bewegung der Aufzugskabine in Rotation versetzt wird. Zu diesem Zweck ist ein in sich geschlossenes Begrenzerseil vorgesehen, das einerseits beim Geschwindigkeitsbegrenzer (normalerweise an der höchsten Stelle im Schacht) und anderseits bei einer Spannrolle (normalerweise an der tiefsten Stelle im Schacht) umgelenkt wird. Das Begrenzerseil ist an einer Stelle mit der Brems- bzw. Fangvorrichtung der Aufzugskabine verbunden, sodass es bei einer Bewegung der Aufzugskabine mitgenommen wird. Bei einer zu hohen Geschwindigkeit blockiert der Geschwindigkeitsbegrenzer das Begrenzerseil, wodurch die Brems- bzw. Fangvorrichtung auslöst, sodass die Aufzugskabine zum Stillstand gebracht wird.The activation of the catching or braking device takes place in known devices of this type by a speed limiter which is permanently mounted in the shaft or machine room and which is set into rotation during a movement of the elevator car. For this purpose, a self-contained limiter rope is provided, which is deflected on the one hand at the speed limiter (usually at the highest point in the shaft) and on the other hand at a tension roller (usually at the lowest point in the shaft). The governor rope is connected at one point to the brake device of the elevator car, so that it is entrained during a movement of the elevator car. If the speed is too high, the overspeed governor blocks the governor rope, causing the arrestor to trip, causing the elevator car to come to a standstill.

Dieser Aufbau hat den Vorteil, dass er rein mechanisch funktioniert und daher von Stromausfällen nicht beeinträchtigt werden kann.This structure has the advantage that it works purely mechanically and therefore can not be affected by power outages.

Er hat jedoch mehrere Nachteile. Einerseits ist er störungsanfällig, eben weil er rein mechanisch funktioniert. Wenn er stark verschmutzt ist, kann der Fliehkraftregler u.U. erst zu spät (d.h. erst bei sehr stark überhöhter Geschwindigkeit) auslösen.He has several disadvantages. On the one hand, it is prone to failure, precisely because it works purely mechanically. If it is heavily contaminated, the centrifugal governor may u.U. only too late (i.e., only at very high speed) trigger.

Ein weiterer Nachteil ist der relativ hohe Aufwand. Abgesehen von der eigentlichen Bremsvorrichtung ist ein über den gesamten Schacht umlaufendes Seil notwendig, das oben und unten geführt sein muss und auch gespannt werden muss.Another disadvantage is the relatively high cost. Apart from the actual braking device a circulating over the entire shaft rope is necessary, which must be performed up and down and also must be stretched.

Ein weiterer Nachteil besteht darin, dass diese mechanische Lösung ausschließlich bei Überschreiten einer vorgegebenen Geschwindigkeit reagiert. Dies ist bei heutigen Hochgeschwindigkeitsaufzügen oft nicht ausreichend. Derartige Aufzüge fahren mit Geschwindigkeiten von z.B. 10 m/s, und sie müssen daher rechtzeitig vor dem Erreichen des letzten Stockwerks (oben und unten) abgebremst werden. Wenn sich die Aufzugskabine im ersten Stock in Abwärtsfahrt befindet, so ist auch eine Geschwindigkeit von nur 5 m/s bereits zu hoch und sollte daher eine Notbremsung auslösen.Another disadvantage is that this mechanical solution reacts only when a predetermined speed is exceeded. This is often not enough with today's high-speed elevators. Such elevators travel at speeds of e.g. 10 m / s, and they must therefore be braked in good time before reaching the last floor (up and down). If the elevator car is on the first floor in downward travel, a speed of only 5 m / s is already too high and should therefore trigger emergency braking.

Um eine Notbremsung differenzierter auslösen zu können ist eine elektronische Lösung besser geeignet. Es sind auch schon entsprechende Vorschläge gemacht worden.
Durch die gattungsbildende US 5020640 A wurde eine Bremseinrichtung für einen Aufzung bekannt, bei der die Geschwindigkeit der Aufzugskabine mittels des Antriebsrades ermittelt wird, an dem das Tragteil abrollt.
In order to trigger an emergency braking differentiated an electronic solution is more suitable. There have already been made proposals.
By the generic US 5020640 A a braking device for a Aufzung was known in which the speed of the elevator car by means of of the drive wheel is determined, on which the support member rolls.

Bei dieser bekannten Einrichtung ergibt sich das Problem, dass im Falle eines Seilbruchs die Einrichtung versagt. Ein weiterer Nachteil besteht darin, dass (zumindest) eine zusätzliche Leitung von der Aufzugskabine zum Maschinenraum benötigt wird, um die Drehgeschwindigkeit des Antriebsrades zur Aufzugskabine zu übertragen.In this known device there is the problem that in the case of a cable break the device fails. Another disadvantage is that (at least) an additional line from the elevator car to the engine room is required to transmit the rotational speed of the drive wheel to the elevator car.

Durch die US 5366045 Awurde ein Regalbediengerät bekannt, bei dem ein Tragarm auf einem Mast heb- und senkbar gehalten ist und bei dem eine bei einer zu hohen Geschwindigkeit des Tragarms ansprechende Bremseinrichtung vorgesehen ist. Dabei ist ein mit einem Tacho verbundenes Rad vorgesehen, das an dem Mast anliegt. Dieser Tacho ist mit einer Einrichtung zur Erkennung einer zu hohen Geschwindigkeit verbunden, die eine Bremseinrichtung aktiviert.By the US 5366045 Aa storage and retrieval unit has been known in which a support arm is held on a mast raised and lowered and in which an appealing at a high speed of the support arm braking device is provided. In this case, a connected to a speedometer wheel is provided, which rests against the mast. This speedometer is connected to a high speed detection device which activates a braking device.

Diese Lösung ist für einen Aufzug nicht sicher genug. Es ist leicht möglich, dass auf das Rad Öl oder Fett kommt, sodass dieses am Mast rutscht und somit auch im Falle eines Seilbruchs der Tacho keine überhöhte Geschwindigkeit meldet.This solution is not safe enough for a lift. It is easily possible that oil or grease comes on the wheel, so that this slips on the mast and thus in the case of a rope break the speedometer reports no excessive speed.

Durch die US 6 161 653 ist ein Aufzug mit einer elektrisch auslösbaren Brems- bzw. Fangeinrichtung bekannt. Für die elektrische Auslösung soll ein beliebiger Geschwindigkeitsdetektör bekannter Bauart verwendet werden, der nicht näher beschrieben wird.By the US Pat. No. 6,161,653 is a lift with an electrically releasable braking or catching known. For the electrical release, any speed detector of known design should be used, which will not be described further.

Schließlich ist aus der JP-A-01317977 ein Aufzug bekannt, der sich eines Detektorsystems bedient, das aus zwei an unterschiedlichen, gegenüberliegenden Führungsschienen abrollenden Rädern besteht, die jeweils einen eigenen Detektor antreiben. Die Lösung kalkuliert ein, dass, bedingt durch Vibrationen, Toleranzen oder dergleichen zeitweilig eines der beiden Räder keinen ördentlichen Kontakt zur Führungsschiene hat und daher nicht mit einer Geschwindigkeit abrollt, die wirklich repräsentativ für die Geschwindigkeit der Aufzugskabine ist. Dieses Problem wird signalseitig korrigiert, indem die Signale durchgängig bewertet werden und nur das höhere, für eine größere Geschwindigkeit stehende Signal als repräsentative Größe herangezogen wird.Finally, out of the JP-A-01317977 a lift is known, which uses a detector system consisting of two rolling on different, opposite guide rails wheels, each driving its own detector. The solution calculates that, due to vibrations, tolerances or the like, temporarily one of the two wheels has no contact with the guide rail and therefore does not roll at a speed that is truly representative of the speed of the elevator car. This problem is corrected on the signal side by continuously evaluating the signals and using only the higher, higher speed signal as a representative quantity.

Darstellung der ErfindungPresentation of the invention Technische AufgabeTechnical task

Ziel der Erfindung ist es, diese Nachteile zu vermeiden, eine Notbremseinrichtung der eingangs erwähnten Art vorzuschlagen, bei der eine zuverlässige Erfassung der Geschwindigkeit der Aufzugskabine sichergestellt ist, bei der insbesondere Unzuverlässigkeiten im Bereich der das Geschwindigkeitssignal generierenden Räder möglichst weitgehend eliminiert werden sollen und bei der die gesamte Notbremseinrichtung im Bereich der Aufzugskabine untergebracht werden kann, so dass keine Verbindung etwa zum Maschinenraum notwendig ist.The aim of the invention is to avoid these disadvantages, to propose an emergency braking device of the type mentioned, in which a reliable detection of the speed of the elevator car is ensured, in particular unreliability in the area of the speed signal generating wheels should be eliminated as much as possible and in the the entire emergency brake device can be accommodated in the area of the elevator car so that no connection to the engine room, for example, is necessary.

Technische LösungTechnical solution

Erfindungsgemäß wird dies bei einer Notbremseinrichtung der eingangs erwähnten Art durch die kennzeichnenden Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 erreicht.According to the invention this is achieved in an emergency braking device of the type mentioned by the characterizing features of claim 1.

Durch die vorgeschlagenen Maßnahmen ist sichergestellt, dass einerseits auch im Falle eines Seilbruchs die Geschwindigkeit der Aufzugskabine erfasst werden kann, da deren Erfassung unabhängig vom Tragseil ist. Außerdem ergibt sich durch die Anordnung von zwei Rädern an zwei Seiten ein und derselben Führungsschiene nicht nur der Vorteil, dass die Geschwindigkeiten der beiden Räder miteinander verglichen werden können und so ein allfälliges Durchrutschen eines der Räder erkannt werden kann und eine Störung germeldet und der Aufzug nach Beendigung der Fahrt gesperrt werden kann. Vielmehr wird auf diese Art und Weise schon von vorneherein sehr weitgehend vermieden, dass eines der Räder schlechten Reibkontakt aufweist und damit ein unbrauchbares Signal liefert. Denn dadurch, dass beide Räder ein und dieselbe Führungsschiene abtasten, ist ausgeschlossen, dass zeitweilig eines der Räder, bedingt durch Toleranzen im Abstand der Führungsschienen voneinander, seinen sauberen Reibschluss verliert. Auch Vibrationen oder ähnliche Störungen seitens der Aufzugskabine können die Räder hier nur in sehr extremen Fällen beeinflussen, da die Räder sich auf unterschiedlichen Seiten ein und derselben Führungsschiene gegenüberliegen und damit sozusagen die Führungsschiene zwischen sich einklemmen. Angemerkt sei noch, dass eine Notbremse natürlich bereits dann ausgelöst wird, wenn nur ein Rad eine zu hohe Geschwindigkeit meldet.The proposed measures ensure that on the one hand, even in the case of a rope break, the speed of the elevator car can be detected, as their detection is independent of the supporting cable. In addition, results from the arrangement of two wheels on two sides of the same guide rail not only the advantage that the speeds of the two wheels can be compared with each other and thus any slippage of one of the wheels can be detected and reports a fault and the elevator after Termination of the trip can be blocked. Rather, it is very largely avoided in this way from the outset that one of the wheels has poor frictional contact and thus provides an unusable signal. Because the fact that both wheels scanned one and the same guide rail, it is impossible that temporarily one of the wheels, due to tolerances in the distance of the guide rails from each other, loses its clean frictional engagement. Also, vibrations or similar disturbances on the part of the elevator car can influence the wheels here only in very extreme cases, since the wheels face each other on different sides of the same guide rail and thus, so to speak, clamp the guide rail between them. It should be noted that an emergency brake is of course already triggered when only one wheel reports too high a speed.

Es ist zweckmäßig, wenn die Anordnung der beiden Räder gemäß Anspruch 2 erfolgt. Durch die Vorspannung der Wippe durch die Feder, die auch relativ schwach sein kann, wird eine relativ hohe Anpresskraft der beiden Räder erreicht. Bedingt ist dies durch den Umstand, dass der Abstand der beiden Rollen nur wenig größer als die Breite des Kopfes der Führungsschiene gewählt werden kann und die Feder in einem großen Abstand vom Drehpunkt der Wippe, der sich zweckmäßigerweise zwischen den beiden Rädern befindet, angreifen kann, wodurch sich auf Grund des Momentengleichgewichts eine entsprechend hohe Anpresskraft der Rollen an der Führungsschiene ergibtIt is useful if the arrangement of the two wheels takes place according to claim 2. Due to the bias of the rocker by the spring, which may also be relatively weak, a relatively high contact pressure of the two wheels is achieved. This is due to the fact that the distance between the two rollers can be selected only slightly larger than the width of the head of the guide rail and the spring can attack at a large distance from the pivot point of the rocker, which is conveniently located between the two wheels, resulting in a correspondingly high contact pressure of the rollers on the guide rail due to the moment equilibrium

Durch die Merkmale des Anspruchs 3 ergibt sich der Vorteil, dass ein Durchrutschen praktisch ausgeschlossen ist, da, wenn nur eines der über die Welle miteinander verbundenen Räder durchrutscht, das andere die Welle antreibt, wo die Reibung für ein Abrollen des Rades ausreicht. Dadurch bleibt ein allfälliges Durchrutschen eines dieser Räder ohne Einfluss auf die Erfassung der Geschwindigkeit der Aufzugskabine.Due to the features of claim 3, there is the advantage that slipping is practically impossible, since, if only one of the wheels interconnected via the shaft slips, the other drives the shaft, where the friction sufficient for a rolling of the wheel. As a result, any slippage of one of these wheels does not affect the detection of the speed of the elevator car.

Durch die Merkmale des Anspruchs 4 ergibt sich der Vorteil, dass die Welle, die zwei in verschiedenen Wippen gehaltene Räder verbindet, bei entsprechender Ansteuerung des Betätigungsorgans über das Rohr die Bremseinrichtung aktivieren kann. Dies ist also eine Art Servounterstützung, die die Energie aus den Rollen bezieht. Dabei kann das Betätigungsorgan durch ein Solenoid gebildet sein, das im Auslösefall der Bremseinrichtung, d.h. bei zu hoher Geschwindigkeit der Aufzugskabine, stromlos geschaltet wird, sodass die Feder das Reibrad in eine Stellung bewegt, in der es mit dem mit der Welle drehfest verbundenen Reibrad in Kontakt steht. Durch die exzentrische Lagerung des einen Reibrades kommt es zum Verklemmen der beiden Reibräder, wodurch das U-Profil mit der Welle gekoppelt ist und von dieser mitgenommen wird. Dadurch kommt es zur Verdrehung des Rohrs und zur Aktivierung der Bremseinrichtung.Due to the features of claim 4, there is the advantage that the shaft connecting two held in different rockers wheels can activate the brake device with appropriate control of the actuator via the pipe. So this is a kind of power assistance that gets the energy out of the roles. In this case, the actuator may be formed by a solenoid, which in the case of triggering the braking device, i. at too high speed of the elevator car, is de-energized, so that the spring moves the friction wheel in a position in which it is in contact with the rotatably connected to the shaft friction wheel. Due to the eccentric mounting of a friction wheel it comes to jamming of the two friction wheels, whereby the U-profile is coupled to the shaft and is taken away by this. This leads to the rotation of the tube and the activation of the braking device.

Nachteilig ist bei dieser Lösung allerdings, dass die Länge der Wellen und des Rohrs an die Breite der Aufzugskabine (bzw. den Abstand der Führungsschienen) angepasst sein muss.A disadvantage of this solution, however, that the length of the shafts and the tube to the width of the elevator car (or the distance between the guide rails) must be adjusted.

Will man diesen Nachteil vermeiden, kann man die Merkmale des Anspruchs 5 vorsehen. In diesem Falle können getrennte, auf je eine Führungsschiene einwirkende Bremsen vorgesehen sein, die von den Betätigungsorganen gesteuert sind, die ihrerseits gemeinsam angesteuert werden.If you want to avoid this disadvantage, you can provide the features of claim 5. In this case, separate, each acting on a guide rail brakes may be provided, which are controlled by the actuators, which in turn are controlled jointly.

Wie aus Fig. 1 zu ersehen ist, weisen die Führungsschienen 2 einen über einen Steg 6 mit einem Schienenfuß 7 verbundenen Schienenkopf 8 auf.How out Fig. 1 can be seen, the guide rails 2 a connected via a web 6 with a rail 7 rail head 8.

An beiden Seitenflächen des Schienenkopfes 8 liegen Räder 9 an, die in einer Wippe 10 (siehe auch Fig. 2) drehbar gehalten und drehfest mit einem Detektor 11 verbunden sind. Diese Detektoren 11 sind über Signalleitungen 12 mit einer Einrichtung 13 zur Erkennung einer zu hohen Geschwindigkeit verbunden.On both side surfaces of the rail head 8 are wheels 9, which in a rocker 10 (see also Fig. 2 ) and rotatably connected to a detector 11 are rotatably held. These detectors 11 are connected via signal lines 12 to a device 13 for detecting a too high speed.

Die Wippe 10 ist, wie aus Fig. 2 zu ersehen ist, zwischen den beiden Rädern 9 um eine Achse 14 schwenkbar gehalten und von einer Feder 15 beaufschlagt, die an einem nicht dargestellten Widerlager abgestützt ist und für eine Verdrehung der Wippe 10 und somit zu einer Anpressung der Räder 9 an den beiden Seitenflächen 16 des Schienenkopfes 8 sorgt. Da der lichte Abstand zwischen den beiden Rädern 9 nur wenig kleiner als die Breite des Schienenkopfes 8 ist und die Feder 15 in einem größeren Abstand von der Achse 14 der Wippe 10 an dieser angreift, ergibt sich eine entsprechende Hebelwirkung, und es kann auch mit relativ schwachen Federn 15 eine hohe Anpresskraft der Räder 9 erzielt werden.The rocker 10 is as out Fig. 2 can be seen, held pivotably about an axis 14 between the two wheels 9 and acted upon by a spring 15 which is supported on an abutment, not shown, and for a rotation of the rocker 10 and thus to a contact pressure of the wheels 9 on the two side surfaces sixteenth of the rail head 8 provides. Since the clear distance between the two wheels 9 is only slightly smaller than the width of the rail head 8 and the spring 15 acts at a greater distance from the axis 14 of the rocker 10 at this, there is a corresponding leverage, and it can also with relative weak springs 15 a high contact pressure of the wheels 9 can be achieved.

Bei der Ausführungsform nach der Fig. 3 liegen an jeder der beiden Führungsschienen 2 je zwei Räder 9 an, die in Wippen 10 gehalten sind. Dabei sind je zwei an verschiedenen Führungsschienen 2 anliegende Räder 9 über jeweils eine Welle 17, 17' miteinander drehfest verbunden, die jeweils von einem Detektor 11 umgeben ist. Dabei geben diese Detektoren 11 z.B. bei jeder Umdrehung der Welle 17 einen Impuls ab.In the embodiment of the Fig. 3 lie on each of the two guide rails 2 per two wheels 9, which are held in rockers 10. In each case, two adjacent to different guide rails 2 wheels 9 via a respective shaft 17, 17 'rotatably connected to each other, which is in each case surrounded by a detector 11. In this case, these detectors 11, for example, with each revolution of the shaft 17 from a pulse.

Die Welle 17' ist dabei von einem Rohr 18 umgeben, das in zwei Teilrohre 18', 18" unterteilt ist, wobei diese beiden Teilrohre 18', 18" über ein U-Profil 19 miteinander verbunden sind. Dabei sitzt ein Detektor 11 zwischen den beiden Schenkeln des U-Profils 19.The shaft 17 'is surrounded by a tube 18 which is subdivided into two sub-pipes 18', 18 ", these two sub-pipes 18 ', 18" being connected to one another via a U-profile 19. In this case, a detector 11 is seated between the two legs of the U-profile 19th

Wie aus der Fig. 4 im Detail zu ersehen ist, ist zwischen den Schenkeln des U-Profils 19 ein Reibrad 22 drehfest auf der Welle 17' angeordnet. Dieses wirkt mit einem weiteren Reibrad 20 zusammen, das in axialer Richtung unverschiebbar, jedoch drehbar auf einer Schubstange 21 gehalten ist. (Alternativ dazu kann natürlich auch die Schubstange 21 drehbar sein, dann kann das Reibrad 20 fest auf der Schubstange 21 angebracht sein.)Like from the Fig. 4 can be seen in detail, between the legs of the U-section 19, a friction wheel 22 rotatably mounted on the shaft 17 'is arranged. This cooperates with another friction wheel 20 which is immovable in the axial direction, however is rotatably supported on a push rod 21. (Alternatively, of course, the push rod 21 may be rotatable, then the friction wheel 20 may be fixedly mounted on the push rod 21.)

Diese Schubstange 21 durchsetzt die beiden Schenkel des U-Profils 19 und ist in einem Solenoid 23 gehalten, das über Steuerleitungen 24 mit der Einrichtung 13 (siehe Fig. 3) verbunden und von dieser gesteuert ist. Des weiteren wirkt auf die Schubstange 21 (siehe Fig. 4) eine Feder 25 (die als Druckfeder ausgebildet ist) ein, die an der Außenseite des einen Schenkels des U-Profils 19 und an einer Schulter 26 der Schubstange 21 abgestützt ist.This push rod 21 passes through the two legs of the U-profile 19 and is held in a solenoid 23, which via control lines 24 to the device 13 (see Fig. 3 ) and is controlled by this. Furthermore acts on the push rod 21 (see Fig. 4 ) a spring 25 (which is designed as a compression spring), which is supported on the outside of the one leg of the U-profile 19 and on a shoulder 26 of the push rod 21.

In der dargestellten, dem Normalbetrieb entsprechenden Stellung des Reibrades 20 ist das Solenoid 23 erregt und hält das Reibrad 20 gegen die Kraft der Feder 25 außer Eingriff mit dem Reibrad 22. Dadurch verbleibt das Rohr 18 in seiner Lage.In the illustrated, the normal operation corresponding position of the friction wheel 20, the solenoid 23 is energized and keeps the friction wheel 20 against the force of the spring 25 out of engagement with the friction wheel 22. This leaves the tube 18 in its position.

Wird jedoch das Solenoid 23 entregt, z.B. aufgrund der Erfassung einer zu hohen Geschwindigkeit der Aufzugskabine (oder auch im Falle eines Ausfalls der Stromversorgung und der Notstromversorgung), so bewirkt die Feder 25 eine Verschiebung der Schubstange 21 nach rechts, wodurch das Reibrad 20 in Kontakt mit dem Reibrad 22 kommt und von diesem in Drehung versetzt wird. Da das Reibrad 20 exzentrisch gehalten ist, kommt es zu einem Verklemmen des Reibrades 20, da der Abstand zwischen der Welle 17' und der Schubstange 21 auf den kleinsten Abstand zwischen der Mantelfläche des Reibrades 20 und dessen exzentrischer Drehachse ausgelegt ist. Dadurch wird das U-Profil 19 mitgenommen und daher das Rohr 18 verdreht.However, when the solenoid 23 is de-energized, e.g. due to the detection of excessive speed of the elevator car (or even in case of failure of the power supply and the emergency power supply), the spring 25 causes a displacement of the push rod 21 to the right, whereby the friction wheel 20 comes into contact with the friction wheel 22 and from this is set in rotation. Since the friction wheel 20 is held eccentrically, there is a jamming of the friction wheel 20, since the distance between the shaft 17 'and the push rod 21 is designed for the smallest distance between the lateral surface of the friction wheel 20 and its eccentric axis of rotation. As a result, the U-profile 19 is taken and therefore the tube 18 is rotated.

Da das Rohr 18 bzw. die Teilrohre 18' und 18" mit Hebeln 27 (siehe Fig. 3) fest verbunden sind, die ihrerseits mit Lenkern 28 verbunden sind, die auf eine nicht dargestellte Bremseinrichtung einwirken, die an den Führungsschienen 2 angreifen, wird in diesem Fall die Bremseinrichtung aktiviert und die Aufzugskabine abgebremst.Since the pipe 18 and the sub-pipes 18 'and 18 "with levers 27 (see Fig. 3 ), which in turn are connected to links 28, which act on a braking device, not shown, which engage the guide rails 2, in this case the braking device is activated and the elevator car braked.

In der Fig. 5 ist eine weitere Ausführungsform einer Auslöseeinrichtung für eine Bremseinrichtung schematisch dargestellt. Dabei ist eine Welle 30 vorgesehen, die mit einem Ansatz 31 starr verbunden ist, der mit einem Elektromagneten 23' zusammenwirkt und auf den eine Rückstellfeder 32 einwirkt. An den beiden Enden ist die Welle 30 mit Hebeln 27 verbunden, die mit Lenkern 28 verbunden sind, die auf die nicht dargestellte Bremseinrichtung einwirken.In the Fig. 5 a further embodiment of a triggering device for a braking device is shown schematically. In this case, a shaft 30 is provided, which is rigidly connected to a projection 31 which cooperates with an electromagnet 23 'and acts on the return spring 32. At the two ends of the shaft 30 is connected to levers 27 which are connected to links 28 which act on the brake device, not shown.

Solange der Elektromagnet erregt ist, verbleiben die Welle 30 und damit die Hebel 27 in einer Lage, in der die Bremseinrichtung nicht aktiviert wird und außer Funktion bleibt. Wird der Elektromagnet 23' entregt, so bewirkt die Rückstellfeder 32 ein Verdrehen der Welle 30 und damit auch der Hebel 27, wodurch in weiterer Folge die Bremseinrichtung aktiviert wird und die Aufzugskabine angehalten wird.As long as the solenoid is energized, the shaft 30 and thus the levers 27 remain in a position in which the braking device is not activated and remains inoperative. If the solenoid 23 'de-energized, the return spring 32 causes a rotation of the shaft 30 and thus also the lever 27, whereby subsequently the braking device is activated and the elevator car is stopped.

Bei der Ausführungsform nach der Fig. 6 sind an den einen Schenkel 40 eines um die Achsen 42 schwenkbaren Winkelhebels 41 ein Ansatz 31 befestigt, der mit einem Elektromagneten 23' zusammenwirkt und an welchem eine Rückstellfeder 32 angreift. Dabei wirken der Elektromagnet 23' und die Rückstellfeder 32 in einem Normalabstand von der Achse 42 des Winkelhebels 41 auf dessen Ansatz 31 ein. Dadurch kommt es zu einem entsprechenden Verdrehen des Winkelhebels, wenn der Elektromagnet 23' entregt wird, und der zweite Schenkel 43 des Winkelhebels 41 aktiviert die nicht dargestellte Bremseinrichtung. Dabei sind bei der Ausführungsform nach der Fig. 6 im Bereich einer jeden Führungsschiene 2 Winkelhebel 41 angeordnet, wobei die beiden Elektromagnete 23' gemeinsam angesteuert werden.In the embodiment of the Fig. 6 are attached to the one leg 40 of a pivotable about the axes 42 angle lever 41, a lug 31 which is connected to a Electromagnet 23 'cooperates and on which a return spring 32 engages. In this case, the electromagnet 23 'and the return spring 32 act at a standard distance from the axis 42 of the angle lever 41 on the projection 31 a. This results in a corresponding rotation of the angle lever when the solenoid 23 'is de-energized, and the second leg 43 of the angle lever 41 activates the brake device, not shown. In the embodiment according to the Fig. 6 Arranged in the region of each guide rail 2 angle lever 41, wherein the two electromagnets 23 'are driven together.
