Definitions

  • the object of the present invention is an elevator driven by a cogged belt and pulley system imparting translational movement to the car and counterweight elements of the elevator.
  • the main feature of the system due to its working principle, is its traction capacity which does not allow the relative movement between the cogged belt and the cogged pulley, even with a very light car.
  • This entails several advantages, such as the possibility of increasing the useful load and reducing the size of the elements of the elevator.
  • Among other objectives of the elements and the distribution thereof is to particularly achieve a greater use of the elevator hoistway, both of its dimensions in length and width and of the heights of the upper and lower areas.
  • the present invention is characterized in the design and arrangement both of the drive and the elements and means forming part of the object of the invention, with the dual objective of achieving a reduction of noise levels generated and a uniform translation of the car and with a high comfort level.
  • the present invention is encompassed within the scope of elevators and particularly those which are moved by means of a cogged pulley and belt and among elevators with counterweight.
  • Patent documents disclosing different of types and means for the traction of the car of an elevator are known in the state of the art in which the following must be highlighted.
  • Patent ES 2272055 T3 discloses an elevator with counterweight with flat cables.
  • the use of flat cables allows reducing the size of the drive of the motor because the flexural rigidity is much less.
  • the motor is positioned between the wall and the car to allow making use of the entire elevator hoistway along its height, also fixed to the wall or ceiling.
  • the fact that the diameter of the pulley is less than 100 mm means that the number of revolutions is high which causes a higher noise level and a reduction of the comfort level.
  • an elevator with counterweight is to be designed in which the sliding between the pulley and the belt are prevented using a cogged pulley and cogged belt, and additionally reducing the noise level and improving the comfort levels by making sure that the pulley is greater than 100 mm in diameter.
  • Patent application PCT WO 99/43602 discloses an example of an elevator system with a belt type flat transmission means. According to this patent application, the elevator car moves by means of a drive installed in the mass balance weight and moves integrally with the latter. The sliding between the pulley and the belt are not prevented since it has a transmission system by means of flat belt.
  • patent application PCT WO 99/43592 discloses another elevator system with a belt type transmission means, where the drive is integrated in the counterweight, and a belt type transmission means fixed to the elevator car serves to transmit the driving force between the counterweight and the elevator car.
  • the objective of the present invention is to develop an elevator overcoming the drawbacks described, i.e.,:
  • the noise levels generated in the translation is to be reduced, and a well balanced and uniform translation of the car is to be achieved.
  • the object of the invention is an elevator with a cogged belt and pulley having a particular configuration and arrangement of the drive elements, i.e., of the traction machine of the cogged belt and of the associated means, such as the deflecting pulleys and fastenings for fastening the ends of the cogged belt.
  • the car object of the invention moves vertically through the hole of a building known as the elevator hoistway, where the car is intended for transporting people or goods.
  • the car is guided along the hoistway by a group of guides.
  • the car is suspended from a cogged belt system at one of its ends, a counterweight being suspended at the other end of the cogged belt system.
  • the assembly is driven by a machine located in the upper portion of the hoistway screwed to a base located in the upper portion of the hoistway.
  • the car guides and counterweight are vertically supported on the bottom of the hoistway and are fixed to the walls by intermediate supports.
  • the base together with the machine are inside the hoistway, they can be supported on one of the car guides, on the wall, at the ceiling, on the guides of the counterweight or on any combination of two or three of these four elements.
  • the load distribution will be different in each case. It is possible to transfer the weight of the entire system to the hoistway floor. Therefore, the walls of the building do not have to support the weight of the elevator assembly.
  • the cogs of the driving pulley are helical, whereas the cogs of the cogged belt are straight, which assures a uniform meshing with the cogged belt and not a discontinuous meshing, as has been occurring with the pulleys with non helical cogs, which further results in a prolongation of the service life of the cogged belt.
  • the cogged pulley was made of a single part, since until now pulleys were made by producing two halves attached to one another, therefore any minimum deviation in the coupling of the two portions of the cogged pulley results in a lack of precision in the meshing and therefore to a higher noise level.
  • deflecting pulley integrated with the machine further reduces the forces to those which the shaft of the driving pulley would be subjected in the case of not having the deflecting pulley proposed herein, and therefore, reduces the constructive requirements of the shaft.
  • the driving pulley anti slip wheels which are placed with their axes perpendicular to the tangent of the entry and exit points of the cogged belt with respect to the cogged pulley.
  • the car guides centrally arranged in relation to the centre of masses of the car assembly also collaborates in the well balanced translation of the car.
  • the machine is solely and exclusively located in the projection of the counterweight, enabling a greater use of the dimensions of the hoistway in the upper areas, in addition to preventing horizontal components and therefore preventing more uniform translation.
  • two technical effects are basically achieved, such as, on one hand, noise level reduction, and on the other hand, a well balanced and uniform translation of the car, the constructive variants described being necessary to achieve both purposes since the constructive features cooperate in the two purposes described, in addition to achieving additional derived technical effects.
  • the cogged belt (2) starting from a first fixing end (7) passes through the deflecting pulleys (3) of the car (1), which as has been said, can be arranged in the upper or lower portion of the car (1), followed by the deflecting pulley (5) and by the driving pulley or pinion (9) ( Figure 3 ) of the machine (4), going to the bottom of the hoistway (18) until reaching the suspension pulley (19) of the counterweight (6), continuing in its final section to the second fixing end (8) of the cogged belt.
  • the load is suspended from the cogged belts which are the traction elements replacing the conventional steel cable.
  • the lifting is achieved as a result of meshing the cogs of the belt and those of the pulley which as a result of the shape thereof can create the traction necessary for lifting the load. Therefore the dependency of the elevator operation on the friction forces between the cable and the driving pulley is eliminated.
  • the axes of the deflecting pulleys (3) which can be arranged above or below of the car (1) are perpendicular to the plane of the car guides. The location of the pulleys is moved with respect to the middle plane of the car.
  • Figure 2 shows the position of the cogged belt which is between the car guide (20) and the step (21), which assures a better operation of the elevator as it pulls the centre of masses of the car, compensating the door weight.
  • the guide (20) passes through the geometric centre of the car (1), which assures that the forces of the guide during emergency braking are the least possible.
  • the driving machine (4) responsible for the traction on the cogged belt (2) is observed in Figure 3 , the association of the machine (4) with a cogged pulley (9), and in turn the association of a cogged belt (2) with the latter, being shown.
  • the machine (4) has either a brake (11) assembled on a support (10), or a brake (13) mounted in the rear portion.
  • the pulleys are flanked by discs or flanges which do not allow the belt to come off from its operating position.
  • the cogged pulley (9) and the cogged belt (2) are protected by a casing (12) in their point of meshing.
  • the dimensions of the machine can be reduced, maintaining optimum dimensions between length, width and height.
  • the diameter of the cogged pulleys is greater than 100 mm, having a width greater than the width of the cogged belt, which can be, in a possible embodiment, 1 mm.
  • the cogged belt (2) has three elements attached to one another by means of extrusion which are a plastic portion, several steel cords embedded therein and a textile mesh.
  • the textile mesh improves the operation and the comfort level by increasing the coupling smoothness when moving and therefore the vibrations and noise.
  • the plastic portion has two faces, a flat face and another cogged face.
  • the cogged portion is formed by inclined cogs located in staggered formation and covered by the textile mesh.
  • the cogs form angle of 120°.
  • the passage between the cogs is comprised between 7 and 9 mm.
  • the width of the belt can be of different measurements depending on the power and the load to be transmitted.
  • the belt (2) has three elements which are the transparent polyurethane (2.2), steel reinforcement cables (2.1) embedded in the transparent polyurethane (2.2) and a textile mesh (2.3) arranged covering the cogged portion.
  • the function of the mesh is to reduce the vibrations and noise, whereas the transparent polyurethane allows a visual inspection of the steel reinforcement cables embedded in the polyurethane.
  • the thickness of the cogged belt with cogs is 4 to 6 mm, the non-cogged portion has a thickness less than 3 mm.
  • All the elements forming part of the elevator particularly the cogged belt and pulley, adopt a high safety coefficients preventing the breakage of the pulley or belt cogs. Driving in both directions in any direction is thus assured. Uncontrolled movement typical for a cable elevator caused by the unbalance between the tension of the two ropes or by the lack of adherence are prevented.
  • the machine (4) has at least two non-slip rollers (14) preventing the belt (2) from coming off and are assembled such that their centres of rotation are perpendicular to the tangent of the entry and exit points of the cogged belt with respect to the cogged pulley.
  • the distance between the non-slip rollers (14) and the pinions or cogged pulleys (9) is sufficient so that the belt passes freely in a well meshed manner, but also prevents the cogs of the belt from coming off the cogs of the pinion.
  • the machine (4) has a gearless motor, a support or base, a brake, the two non-slip rollers (14) and a deflecting pulley (5).
  • the deflecting pulley (5) forms the indivisible portion of the machine and prevents the inclination of the belt in the rope going to the car, i.e., the cogged belts connect in a vertical and non-inclined manner to the deflecting pulley and to the driving pulley, such that the horizontal component attempting to tip the car by creating a tug, discomfort and great wear in the friction clamps, as well as a lack of uniformity in the translation of the car is eliminated.
  • At least one cogged driving pulley (9) which is flanked by discs or flanges preventing the cogged belts (2) from being able to come off from its position will be arranged on the shaft of the machine.
  • the non-slip rollers (14) are assembled such that their centres of rotation are located in an angle which can very between 70° and 190°. Therefore, the angle between the axes of rotation of the roller assemblies will coincide with the angle of contact of the belt, contacting the tangent point thereof with the driving pulley (convergence between the belt and pinion).
  • the distance between the outer diameters of the non-slip pulleys and those of the driving pulleys is sufficient so that the thickness of the driving belt passes, assuring the traction in both directions and eliminating the risk of drive loss due to the cogs of the belt coming off from those of the pinion.
  • the machine (4) driving the drive system is mounted on a base .
  • the assembly formed by the machine and the base is fixed to the wall, to the guides of the counterweight, to the ceiling, or to one of the car guides, or in any combination of any of two or three of these four elements.
  • the base together with the machine is solely located in the projection of the counterweight such that it enables the car to pass by the side of the machine-base assembly.
  • the base can be fixed to a combination of the elements listed above.
  • the integration of the deflecting pulley to the support favors operating and constructing the machine by distributing the loads between two axes. Therefore the shaft of the driving pulley only receives a load component from the car rope which allows reducing the diameters of the shaft and bearing.
  • Figure 8 shows the features of the deflecting pulleys (3), which in a possible embodiment are manufactured from plastic, they are mounted on a shaft (15) at the ends of which there are arranged bearings (17), each of the pulleys has its own chanellings separated by a flange (16), the chanellings having a convexity or an outwardly dished shape for the purpose of keeping the belt centered in the chanelling without the need of bordering with the flanks of the chanelling, eliminating the wear of the sides of the belt.
  • the elevator in the cases of impact caused by an infinite traction situation, can be provided with shock absorbers at both ends of the path, electrical elements, such as limit switches interrupting the movement before the elevator collides with the shock absorbing pads.
