Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an elevator rope pulley.
  • Elevator rope pulleys commonly have a central hub rotating about a rotation axis of the pulley, a pulley body surrounding the hub as well as a rim surrounding the pulley body containing rope grooves along its circumference.
  • This kind of elevator rope pulleys are used as a traction sheave or as diverting pulleys in elevators.
  • Several attempts have been made to increase the friction between the mostly metal elevator rope and the grooves, particularly in connection with traction sheaves, which resulted in a rim being made from a material having a lower hardness than the material of the pulley body.
  • the pulley body is made from metal, particularly cast-iron or cast-aluminum.
  • the metal pulley body is surrounded by a rim made from softer material as e. g. plastics or rubber, particularly polyurethane, which rim contains the grooves for the ropes along its circumference.
  • Each groove comprises a central groove bottom and bottom edges on both sides thereof for taking up the elevator ropes having commonly a circular cross section.
  • the outer surface of the pulley body forms the boundary surface between the pulley body and the rim.
  • the outer surface of the pulley body is corrugated along its circumference.
  • the corrugation comprises positive sections extending in a positive direction, i.e. radially away from the rotation center of the pulley and negative sections extending in a negative direction, i.e.
  • the outer surface or circumference of the pulley body has corrugations along its circumference.
  • the cross sectional profile of the corrugations in radial and axial direction has positive sections or elevations in the outer surface of the pulley and negative sections or recesses in the outer surface of the pulley body.
  • the positive sections, i.e. elevations are radially aligned with the groove bottom of the grooves. Via this measure the radial thickness of the rim material under the groove bottom is reduced compared to the material thickness of the rim in the area of the groove edges.
  • the thickness of the rim material in the pulley bottom is thinnest.
  • the material thickness between the groove bottom and the pulley body is still further decreased by the inventive mutual arrangement of the corrugations with respect to the rope grooves.
  • the material thickness of the rim in this area is reduced with respect to the groove edges, which keeps them softer due to the enlarged material thickness of the rim material between the groove edge and the outer surface of the pulley body.
  • the contact area of the ropes is softer at the groove edges, which keeps the operation of the pulley silent and reduces the noise when the elevator rope runs onto or from the rim.
  • the contact of the rope on both sides with the softer groove edges seals the harder contact area of the groove bottom with the rope and thus further reduces noise.
  • the inventive elevator rope pulley is a rope pulley which reduces noise essentially.
  • the invention keeps the resulting rim thickness from the outer surface of the pulley body to the outer most circumferential area of the rim minimal at the groove bottom. This is another possibility of characterizing the invention based on a rope pulley according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the groove bottom is aligned in radial direction with the center of the positive sections so that the transition from harder to softer rim area is symmetrical from the groove bottom in the direction of both groove edges.
  • the rim is made of plastics or rubber, particularly from polyurethane.
  • This material is well adapted to bear the load and stress applied by the ropes and is on the other hand soft enough to reduce the noise, particularly in combination with the mutual arrangement of the corrugations with respect to the rope grooves.
  • the corrugations may have an anticlinal, triangular , sinusoidal or square profile.
  • the positive sections of the profile are located below the groove bottom, which means the center of the groove.
  • there is a clear peak under the groove bottom which has the advantage that the change in the material thickness from the groove bottom to the edges takes place gradually.
  • the positive section below the groove bottom is flat.
  • the width of the positive sections should be preferably half of the groove width at the most, preferably between a quarter and a half of the groove width. In this case it is ensured that the outer groove edges are radially aligned with the negative sections of the corrugations, thus leaving a large material thickness of the rim material between the outer groove edge portion and the outer surface of the pulley body, which is essential for the noise reduction.
  • a square profile has the advantage of a good mutual adhesion of the rim material on the outer surface of the pulley body. Thus a displacement of the rim on the pulley body, particularly in axial direction of the pulley, is efficiently avoided.
  • the vertical flanks of the profile could be preferably slightly tilted, which facilitates the forming or working of the profile during manufacture.
  • the arc of the profile is preferably located exactly under the groove bottom whereas the edge regions of the anticlinal are in the area between the rope grooves.
  • the groove bottom is quite hard which reduces material wear and deformations on the groove bottom.
  • the anticlinal profile of the corrugations leads to an increase of the radial thickness of the elastic rim material in the area of the groove edges which leads to a higher elastic play when the elevator rope meets the groove edges. This however reduces the noise when the rope hits the groove.
  • the noise reduction ability of the invention has become important as nowadays elevator with a high suspension ratio of 3:1, 4:1, 5:1, 6:1 or more are uses wherein a lot of diverting pulleys have to be used. Accordingly, the noise generated by each rope pulley sums up to a level where the noise generated by the pulleys becomes essential. With the new inventive pulley it is possible to keep the total noise level generated by the elevator rope pulleys at an acceptable level.
  • the corrugated outer surface of the pulley body and correspondingly also the corrugated boundary and contact surface between the pulley body and the rim leads to a better connection of the rim material to the pulley body.
  • the inventive elevator pulley is preferably used as a traction sheave or as a diverting pulley in an elevator.
  • corrugation profile of the outer surface of the pulley body below the grooves is relevant for the invention.
  • the corrugation profile in the area between the grooves is not relevant.
  • the corrugation profile could be formed in these regions as to increase the connection between the pulley body and the rim material, e.g. a square or triangular profile.
  • the pulley body may consist of several layers in radial succession. In this case only the outer surface of the outermost layer which builds the boundary surface to the rim layer is relevant and to be regarded as outer surface of the pulley body.
  • the invention further relates to an elevator comprising at least one of the above mentioned inventive elevator rope pulleys.
  • the pulley body and/or the hub of the elevator pulley may be manufactured from other materials than metal, e.g. plastics, particularly hard-PU.
  • FIG. 1 shows an elevator rope pulley 10 comprising a hub 12 with a bearing 14 for mounting the pulley 10 to an axle of an elevator component or of a structure in the elevator shaft.
  • the bearing is not necessary when the pulley is mounted to the shaft of a drive machine as traction sheave.
  • the pulley has two end faces 20, 22 in axial direction. In radial direction the hub 12 is surrounded by a pulley body 15 which is again surrounded by the rim 16 having on its outer circumference the rope grooves 18.
  • the embodiment of the rim 16 surrounding the pullet body 15 can be seen in more detail in figure 2 .
  • the outer surface 24 of the pullet body 15 which builds the boundary surface between the pulley body 15 and the rim 16 is anticlinal ( Fig. 3 ) or sinusoidal ( Fig. 2 ).
  • the sinusoidal outer surface 24 comprises arcs 26 as positive sections extending radially away from the rotation axis of the pulley, which are located radially under the bottom 28 of the groove 18.
  • the connection areas 30 between two arcs 26 build negative sections or recesses which are located below the groove edges.
  • this inventive embodiment of the border surface has the effect that the thickness of the rim material 32 between the border surface 24 at the center of the groove bottom is less than if the border surface 24 would be plain or flat and on the other hand in the area of the groove edges 34 the thickness of the rim material 32 is increased compared with a flat outer border surface 24 between the pulley body 15 and the rim material 32.
  • the resulting elasticity from the thickness of the material is decreased in the center of the rope grooves but decreased in the edge area of the grooves which leads to a much better noise reduction than a rope pulley having a flat border surface between the pulley body and the rim 16.
  • Figure 3 shows clearly an anticlinal border surface 24 between the pulley body 15 and the rim 16.
  • the anticlinal profile of the border surface 24 is arranged such that the arcs 26, i. e. the positive sections or elevations of the corrugation profile are exactly below the groove bottom 28.
  • the arcs 26, i. e. the elevations in the outer surface or circumference of the pulley body 15 coincide radially with the groove bottom 28 of the grooves the material thickness between the outer surface 24 of the pulley body and the groove bottom 28 is reduced to a value d b .
  • the total thickness of the rim 16 at the groove bottom 28 adds up to the value d min from the reduced thickness d b of the rim material 32 in groove bottom and the groove depth dg.
  • This resulting rim thickness is minimal at the groove bottom.
  • the total thickness d mid results here from the thickness d e of the rim material 32 in an edge part 34 of the rope groove 18 as well as the corresponding groove depths d ge in said edge area.
  • This value of the resulting rim thickness d mid of the rim in the area of the groove edges is higher than the resulting rim thickness d min at the groove bottom.
  • this value is lower than the total rim thickness d max from the outer surface 24 to the outer most circumferential area 36 of the rim in the area between the grooves.
  • Figure 3 shows on the right side a possible alternative embodiment of the outer surface 24 whereby the connection area 38 between two arcs 26 of the border surface 24 is flat.
  • Figures 4 to 6 show in a very schematically way alternative embodiments of the profile of the corrugations in the outer surface 24 of the pulley body 15 building the boundary surface between the pulley body and the rim 16.
  • the corrugation profile is triangular 24a with the upper peaks 45 being radially aligned with the groove bottom 28.
  • the corrugation profile is sinusoidal 24b with the upper peaks 47 being radially aligned with the groove bottom 28.
  • figure 6 shows a kind of square profile 24c of the corrugations where the positive sections 40 of the square profile 24c are centered below the groove bottom 28. Also in this case the thickness of the rim is reduced in the groove bottom center by the shape of the outer circumference of the rope pulley body.
  • the width of the positive sections w s is preferably in the range of on quarter to one half of the groove width w g .
  • figure 7 shows an embodiment of a corrugation profile 24d consisting of an anticlinal part 48 comprising arcs centered below the groove bottom as well as square parts 51 located in the area between the grooves.
  • the anticlinal part 48 is provided for keeping the groove bottom hard with respect to the groove edges whereas the square part 51 is provided for a good, particularly axial contact between the material of the rim 16 and the pulley body.
