Definitions

  • the invention relates to an elevator installation with a shaft, in which at least two cars are arranged one above the other and can be moved separately from one another in the vertical direction upwards and downwards, with each car being assigned a travel drive for moving the car.
  • a passenger outside the shaft of a control device of the elevator system can enter a destination call with which he indicates his destination.
  • the control device can then carry out an assignment evaluation for all cars and can assign the destination call to the car with the best assignment rating.
  • the cars usually have a considerable safety distance from one another, which ensures that when two cars are driven in series, the rear car in the direction of travel can also be braked reliably without the risk of collision if the car in the direction of travel brakes suddenly in the event of a fault.
  • Elevator systems are also known in which two cars arranged one above the other are permanently connected to one another and simultaneously move to two floors that are directly adjacent to one another.
  • the two cars are driven by a common travel drive and form a so-called double-decker elevator.
  • Double-decker elevators are particularly suitable for commuting between two immediately adjacent start floors and two fixed, directly adjacent destination floors. Double-decker elevators are only of limited suitability for journeys between individually selectable start and finish floors, since the compulsory stopping of both cars on floors immediately adjacent to one another limits the transport capacity.
  • document US 1 805 227 discloses an elevator system with two mutually coupled cars according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the object of the present invention is to develop an elevator installation of the type mentioned at the outset in such a way that the cars can be moved in large and small distances from one another in a structurally simple manner without risk of collision.
  • the elevator installation according to the invention has a first operating mode and a second operating mode.
  • the first operating mode at least two cars, which can be moved in a common shaft, can be moved separately from one another in the shaft, in this operating mode they can move to individually selectable start and destination floors and have a rather large distance from one another.
  • the second operating mode of the elevator system the at least two cars are coupled to one another via a variable-length detachable coupling device.
  • the coupling device ensures that when the cars are driven one behind the other, the rear car in the direction of travel has practically the same braking deceleration as the front car in the direction of travel.
  • the two cars can therefore be moved at a very short distance from one another without the risk of collision.
  • a length-adjustable coupling device is used in the elevator installation according to the invention, with the aid of which the distance between the cars coupled to one another can be changed.
  • the change in length does not require an additional drive unit, but the change in length can be achieved with the aid of at least one of the travel drives of the coupled cars.
  • the vertical distance between the cars can only be changed if the relative speed of the cars coupled to one another fulfills at least one predefined criterion.
  • the change in distance is therefore dependent on the relative speed of the two cars. This ensures that at low relative speeds, such as those which occur when the vertical distance is adapted to different floor distances, a change in distance can be carried out with the aid of at least one of the travel drives of the coupled cars, but in the case of a high relative speed between the coupled cars Cars, such as those that could be present in the event of a fault, in which the front car suddenly brakes in the direction of travel, a change in distance is blocked.
  • a collision of the mutually coupled cars can be reliably prevented even in the event of a fault.
  • the distance between the mutually coupled cars can be changed at relative speeds up to a predetermined or predeterminable maximum permissible relative speed.
  • a maximum permissible relative speed between the cars coupled to one another can thus be predetermined or predeterminable.
  • the vertical distance between the cars can be changed with the help of at least one of the travel drives of the coupled cars.
  • the coupling device can be blocked so that its length cannot be changed and consequently a change in distance is not possible.
  • the distance between two coupled cars can be changed with the help of at least one of the drives of the cars. It is advantageous if the distance between the cars that are coupled to one another can be changed using the travel drives of all the coupled cars as a function of the relative speed between the cars.
  • the front of the car in the direction of travel is moved away from the car in the direction of travel in the coupled state with the aid of its travel drive.
  • the car, which is at the rear in the direction of travel is moved in the coupled state with the aid of its travel drive in the direction of the car at the front in the direction of travel.
  • the coupling device comprises at least one motor coupling drive for establishing and releasing the coupling between the cars.
  • the motor coupling drive can be, for example, an electric motor with a comparatively low electrical output or, for example, also a hydraulic or pneumatic drive.
  • the elevator system advantageously comprises sensors which provide a signal corresponding to the relative speed of the cars.
  • decoders or speed sensors can be used as sensors or, for example, ultrasound sensors or position sensors, with the help of which the position of the cars in the shaft can be determined.
  • the speed of the cars and also the relative speed of the cars can be determined from the changing position data.
  • At least one sensor for determining the relative speed between the cars is advantageously arranged on at least one car.
  • the cars are advantageously driven via suspension means, via which the cars are connected to the drives.
  • suspension cables can be used as suspension elements.
  • the coupling device has at least one movable coupling element, to which an influencing element is assigned for influencing the movement of the coupling element as a function of the relative speed between the mutually coupled cars.
  • an influencing element is assigned for influencing the movement of the coupling element as a function of the relative speed between the mutually coupled cars.
  • two at least one coupling member can be moved relative to at least one of the cars in such an embodiment of the invention.
  • the movement of the coupling element takes place as a function of the relative speed between the two cars. This ensures that in the event of a malfunction in which there is a high relative speed, for example due to an emergency stop of the front car in the direction of travel, a collision of the cars can be reliably prevented.
  • the movement of the coupling member can be influenced, in particular braked or blocked, by the influencing member.
  • the speed which the coupling member has relative to at least one of the two cars can be limited by means of the influencing member. At higher relative speeds, a different speed can thus be provided for the coupling member than at lower relative speeds, which the cars are coupled to one another.
  • the coupling member can be locked by means of the influencing member. This makes it possible to prevent movement of the coupling member and thus also a change in the vertical spacing of the cars coupled to one another at relatively high relative speeds.
  • the at least one coupling member can advantageously transmit tensile and compressive forces between the mutually coupled cars.
  • the coupling device has a plurality of coupling elements of identical design.
  • the coupling members are advantageously arranged symmetrically to a central axis of the cars.

  • a flow connection between the annular space and the piston space can be achieved via a compensation device, the flow connection taking place as a function of the relative speed between the two cars, which are connected to one another via the piston-cylinder unit.
  • the hydraulic or pneumatic cylinder can be positioned on a first of the two cars and the piston rod can extend from the first car to the second car.
  • a medium for example compressed air or hydraulic oil
  • a medium for example compressed air or hydraulic oil
  • the flow connection is between the annular space and the piston space interrupted and media exchange is not possible, so that the piston in the cylinder can not change position. This in turn means that the vertical distance between the cars coupled together via the piston-cylinder unit cannot be changed.
  • the compensation device has at least one throttle or blocking element that can be controlled as a function of the relative speed between the two cars.
  • the compensation device has at least one electrically controllable throttle element.
  • the flow cross section of a connecting line between the annular space and the piston space can be changed as a function of the relative speed between the two cars.
  • the throttle element provides a relatively large flow cross section at lower relative speeds, in particular at relative speeds up to a predeterminable or predefined maximum permissible relative speed, whereas the flow cross section at large relative speeds, in particular when a predeterminable or predefined maximum permissible relative speed is exceeded is greatly reduced, in particular reduced to a value of 0, so that the flow connection between the annular space and the piston space is interrupted by means of the throttle element.
  • the compensating device has at least one hydraulically or pneumatically controllable blocking element, for example a pressure-dependent closing valve.
  • the controllable blocking element in particular the pressure-dependent closing valve, can be connected into the connecting line between the annular space and the piston space and the connecting line depending on the relative speed lock and unlock between the two cars.
  • the connecting line can be blocked if the pressure in the connecting line upstream of the closing valve exceeds a predetermined maximum permissible pressure value due to an excessive relative speed between the two cars.

However, such a change only takes place at relatively low relative speeds, in particular at relative speeds below a predetermined or predeterminable maximum permissible relative speed. If the actual relative speed is greater than the maximum permissible relative speed, the braking element brakes the threaded spindle so that it is completely locked or can only assume a relatively low speed.

  • the two brake elements 144, 146 block movement of the threaded spindles 136, 140, so that no change in distance can be carried out and the two cars 112, 114 are rigidly connected to one another.
  • a change in distance can only take place if the actual relative speed determined by means of sensors 152, 154 falls below the maximum permissible relative speed.
  • at least one speed sensor can also be used, which detects the speed of the threaded spindle 136 or 140. At an impermissibly high speed, which corresponds to an impermissibly high relative speed of the cars 112, 114, the movement of the threaded spindles 136, 140 is blocked, so that no change in distance can be carried out.
  • FIG 3 schematically shows a third advantageous embodiment of an elevator installation according to the invention, which is denoted overall by reference number 160.
  • the elevator installation 160 is largely identical to the one above with reference to that in FIG Figure 2 Elevator system 110 shown.

  • a first brake element 170 is assigned to the first gear 166 and a second brake element 172 is assigned to the second gear 168.
  • the two brake elements 170, 172 stand in a corresponding manner to that with reference to FIG Figure 2 explained brake elements 144, 146 with a control device, not shown in the drawing, of the elevator system 160 in electrical connection, which in turn is coupled to at least one sensor, with the aid of which the relative speed of the two cars 112, 114 can be determined.
  • motors are not shown which each form a coupling drive and which move the toothed racks 162, 164 into their coupling position.
  • the vertical spacing of the two cars 112, 114 can thus be changed in a simple manner by means of the travel drives 126, 130 in the coupled state.
  • the gears 166, 168 are locked, so that the two cars 112, 114 are rigidly coupled to one another via the racks 162, 164 and the locked gears 166, 168.
  • the speed of the gearwheels 166, 168 could also be detected in order to determine the relative speed of the cars 112, 114.
  • FIG. 4 A fourth advantageous embodiment of an elevator installation according to the invention is shown schematically, which is denoted overall by reference numeral 180.
  • the elevator system 180 is largely identical to that in reference to FIG Figure 2 Elevator system 110 shown.
  • Elevator system 110 Elevator system 110 shown.
  • Figure 4 uses the same reference numerals as in Figure 2 and with regard to these components, reference is made to the explanations above in order to avoid repetition.
  • the coupling between the upper car 112 and the lower car 114 takes place with the aid of a large number of mechanical coupling elements which form a support chain 182.
  • the support chain 182 is positioned on the lower car 114 and can be moved with the aid of an in Figure 4 to achieve a better overview of the coupling drive, not shown, are moved back and forth between a compact supply position and differently extended coupling positions.
  • the support chain 182 In the supply position, the support chain 182 is almost completely immersed in a support chain housing 188, the support chain links 190 being largely arranged horizontally next to one another and an upper support chain section being positioned above a lower support chain section.

  • the gear 184 arranged on the lower car 114 can be braked and locked by a controllable braking element 186.
  • a free end of the support chain 182 can be fixed on the upper car 112 with the aid of a connecting device 192 in order to couple the two cars 112, 114 to one another.

  • Such connecting elements and locking members are known per se to the person skilled in the art and therefore do not require any further explanation in the present case.
  • the vertical distance between the two cars 112, 114 can be changed in a simple manner with the aid of the two travel drives 126, 130, provided that the relative speed between the two cars 112, 114 does not exceed a maximum permissible relative speed. If there is such a low relative speed, the movement of the gear wheel 184 is not impaired by the braking element 186, so that their distance from one another can be changed by a relative movement of the two cars 112, 114. However, if the relative speed exceeds the maximum permissible relative speed, then the gear 184 is braked and locked by means of the braking element 186. There is then a rigid coupling between the upper car 112 and the lower car 114, wherein, in particular, compressive forces can be transmitted between the two cars 112, 114 via the support chain 182.

  • the two cars 112, 114 are to be at a short distance from one another, they can be coupled to one another in a second operating mode of the elevator system 180 by means of the support chain 182, the gearwheel 184 and the brake element 186, their relative distance at low relative speeds by means of the travel drives 126 , 130 can be changed in order to adapt the vertical distance between the cars 112, 114 to different floor distances.
  • the support chain 182 can be moved back and forth between its compact storage position and coupling layers of different dimensions.
  • the support chain 182 is locked so that its length cannot be changed, and consequently the cars 112, 114 cannot collide with one another.
