Definitions

  • the invention consists of an apparatus and a system for detecting overspeed of a car, and/or a counterweight, for elevators, for actuating the emergency braking mechanism.
  • Document ES 2 184 612 describes a speed limiting system for elevators, characterized in that it consists of a safety gear fixed to the elevator car and a moving part acting with the rail of the elevator; a crown wheel rotating with the rail of the elevator associated to a centrifugal speed governor; a link quadrangle in which the two opposite sides are joined to the moving part of the safety gear and to the crown wheel respectively; means tending to keep the safety gear in stand-by and means for keeping the crown wheel in contact with the rail of the elevator.
  • Document EP 475 114 describes a safety device and a centrifugal force speed governor for preventing overspeed conditions of an elevator car in both the downward direction and the upward direction.
  • a bracket arranged in the elevator car incorporates a shaft at right angle to a guide rail arranged on the side wall.
  • a telescopic compression spring extends over the shaft between the bracket and the frame to tense the shaft with an axial movement towards the side wall.
  • the running wheel is biased against the web of the guide rails.
  • Each side of the running wheel has a pair of release levers acting on a locking wheel in the event of danger.
  • the release lever rotatably arranged on the running wheel there circulates, in normal car travel, each side of the running wheel around the stopped locking wheel, which is fixedly joined to a two-arm actuating lever.
  • the movement of the actuating lever is transmitted on one hand to the release arm and on the other to the actuating bar, which is additionally in contact with the release arm that is opposite to the safety gear.
  • the release arm circulating parallel to the guide rails is introduced in the wedge box of the safety gear.
  • the elevator car is restarted after a safety stop in the opposite direction of travel.
  • Documents DE 101 47 629 and EP 1 516 842 describe a safety system which prevents overspeed conditions of an elevator car. Both documents disclose a pendulum speed limiter having an auxiliary wheel configured to run on a guide rail of the elevator car. The speed limiter generates a synchronized alternating movement which changes when a predetermined speed of the elevator car is exceeded. The speed limiter further comprises a polygonal-shaped cam, a ratchet wheel and a rocker arranged on a side of the auxiliary wheel.
  • the rocker has a first end provided with a follower for following the cam profile, and a second end provided with a ratchet for locking the ratchet wheel when the predetermined speed of the elevator car is exceeded, thus activating an actuating means for braking the elevator car.
  • the present invention proposes an apparatus and a system that is independent of the safety gear system, that allows different types of actuations, is adaptable both to the upper part and to the lower part of the car and of the counterweight and does not necessarily have to be arranged close to the counterweight.
  • the invention describes an apparatus for detecting the overspeed of elevator components selected from a car, a counterweight and combinations thereof, having:
  • the speed detecting means comprise a ratchet mechanism comprising:
  • This pressure setting of the auxiliary wheel on the rail determines the generated friction force and the coefficient of friction between them.
  • the apparatus can also comprise slip monitoring means formed by an encoder configured to control when the auxiliary wheel slips by comparing a rotation speed of the auxiliary wheel with a travel speed of the elevator component.
  • the apparatus may further comprise at least one roller configured to roll on a second surface of the rail opposite to the first surface of the rail for:
  • This roller can also be used for the operation of the apparatus with different rail thicknesses and for the operation with a rail having a different surface condition, such as a dry rail or a greased wheel.
  • the apparatus further comprises remote actuating means to voluntarily engage the ratchet mechanism.
  • the invention describes a system for detecting overspeed of elevator components selected from a car, a counterweight and combinations thereof, characterized in that it comprises at least one apparatus such as the one described above and transmission means joined to the actuating means for transmitting an actuating movement to the braking mechanism of the elevator component.
  • the system can incorporate the apparatus in an upper or lower part of the car or counterweight, the transmission means comprising in a first case an actuating assembly and first pinion and a second pinion, and the transmission means comprising in a second case a plurality of levers.
  • the invention relates to an apparatus for detecting overspeed of elevator components selected from a car, a counterweight and combinations thereof, having:
  • the speed detecting means are configured to not generate the synchronized alternating movement when a predetermined speed of the elevator component is exceeded and to thus activate the actuating (300) means;
  • the speed detecting means comprise a ratchet mechanism comprising:
  • the apparatus further comprises:
  • the apparatus further comprises slip monitoring means formed by an encoder (500) configured to control when the auxiliary wheel (100) slips by comparing a rotation speed of the auxiliary wheel (100) with a travel speed of the elevator component.
  • slip monitoring means formed by an encoder (500) configured to control when the auxiliary wheel (100) slips by comparing a rotation speed of the auxiliary wheel (100) with a travel speed of the elevator component.
  • the apparatus further comprises at least one roller (600) configured to roll on a second surface (220) of the rail (200) opposite to the first surface (210) of the rail (200) for:
  • the apparatus further comprises a remote actuating means or coil (800) for voluntarily engaging the ratchet (150).
  • Another embodiment of the invention relates to a system for detecting overspeed of an elevator component characterized in that it comprises at least one apparatus such as the one described above and transmission means joined to the actuating means (300) for transmitting an actuating movement to the braking mechanism of the elevator component.
