Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a braking device for a car of an elevator system, which can be moved up and down in a vertical shaft, with the car moving along one or more vertical guide rails, and with the braking device comprising two opposing brake blocks, which hold the guide rails between absorb and develop a frictional braking effect when engaging the guide rails.
  • Such a braking device is known from WO 2015/144686A1 .
  • the braking device is designed for use when traveling along a vertical elevator shaft. So that such a braking device ensures the highest possible degree of safety, the control of the elevator system is usually designed in such a way that braking is triggered in every dangerous situation in order to bring the car to a standstill as quickly as possible. This should also take place in particular in the event of a total failure of the energy supply to the elevator system, which is why the braking device is advantageously designed in such a way that it is actively kept in an open state during operation and if the energy supply fails, at least one brake block is automatically brought into engagement with the guide rail ( in particular by the compressive force of a preloaded spring).
  • the object of the present invention is therefore to further develop the braking device in such a way that it can also be used for braking sideways travel, in particular horizontal travel.
  • a braking device for an elevator car of an elevator system comprising a first brake block and a second brake block, which face one another and receive a guide rail between them and develop a braking effect by frictional engagement when they move the guide rails in take action.
  • the first brake pad is wedge-shaped and tapers in the direction of a wedge direction.
  • the front side of the first brake pad facing the guide rail is aligned parallel to the guide rail and the opposite rear side is inclined according to the wedge shape.
  • the braking device comprises a brake pad receptacle which has a contact surface with an inclination corresponding to the wedge-shaped brake pad, against which the rear side of the wedge-shaped brake pad rests in a sliding manner.
  • the braking device also has a locking device with a first position for vertical travel and a second position for travel between elevator shafts, with the braking effect being dependent on the direction of travel in the first position and the braking effect being independent of the direction of travel in the second position the locking device is set up to release a sliding movement of the wedge-shaped first brake pad against the direction of the wedge in the first position and when the braking device is open, and to block the sliding movement of the wedge-shaped first brake pad against the direction of the wedge for sideways travel in the second position and when the braking device is open
  • This configuration has the advantage that there are two settings for the braking device. When the braking device is set for the first time, the locking device assumes the first position.
  • the braking effect depends on the direction of travel.
  • the triggering occurs Braking device for active braking.
  • the locking device assumes the second position.
  • the braking effect is independent of the direction of travel. This setting can be used in particular for braking a journey between several vertically extending elevator shafts (sideways journey).
  • the described effect is achieved in that one of the brake pads is wedge-shaped, tapers in the direction of a wedge direction, and a sliding movement of the wedge-shaped brake pad counter to the wedge direction is released.
  • no or at most a small braking effect occurs due to the following effect:
  • braking is triggered, i.e. the opposite brake pads enter a closed state and engage the guide rail, the wedge-shaped first brake pad is pulled out of its first working position against the direction of the wedge by the frictional connection and slides away from the guide rails along the inclined contact surface of the brake pad receptacle, so that the frictional connection is canceled again.
  • the wedge-shaped first brake pad when driving in the opposite direction to the wedge direction (typically downward travel), the following effect occurs: when braking is triggered, the wedge-shaped first brake pad is pulled out of its first working position in the direction of the wedge by the frictional connection. If a sliding movement of the wedge-shaped brake block is possible in this direction, it slides along the inclined contact surface of the brake block holder towards the guide rail, so that the braking effect builds up and increases gradually. The full braking effect only occurs as soon as the wedge-shaped brake pad can no longer move in the direction of the wedge. The full braking effect is therefore delayed. If the sliding movement of the wedge-shaped first brake pad in this direction is blocked, the wedge-shaped brake pad immediately acts like an ordinary brake pad. So either a delayed or a normal braking effect occurs, but not a reduced braking effect as in the case of driving in the direction of the wedge direction.
  • the wedge shape of the first brake block has the additional advantage that the braking device can be ventilated in the first setting after the end of the braking process in a simple manner by moving the elevator car in the direction of the wedge, for example with the aid of the drive.
  • This movement of the elevator car in the direction of the wedge automatically causes the wedge-shaped first brake block, which is still in contact with the guide rail after the braking process has been completed, to move in the opposite direction to the wedge direction and thus automatically slide away from the guide rail.
  • the braking device is thus ventilated and the car is released.
  • one of the two brake pads is wedge-shaped and is combined with a corresponding brake pad receptacle.
  • the opposite, second brake pad is then, for example, cuboid in shape with front and rear sides that are parallel to one another.
  • the second brake pad does not necessarily have to be equipped with a friction surface in order to form a frictional connection with the guide rail. Only a counterforce has to be transmitted to the guide rail via the second brake pad, which counteracts the pressing force of the first brake pad. Consequently, the second brake pad can also be designed, for example, as a roller arrangement that rolls on the guide rail during the braking process.
  • the rear side of the wedge-shaped brake block can slide against the contact surface directly or slide against the contact surface indirectly via a roller bearing.
  • a roller bearing further reduces the friction in this area and the effect according to the invention still improved.
  • the two brake pads engage the guide rails, preferably in that one or both brake pads are pressed against the guide rails by means of a respective spring.
  • This corresponds to the usual mode of operation of the type of braking device mentioned at the outset.
  • cases are possible in which only one cuboid brake pad is pressed, only one wedge-shaped brake pad including the brake pad mount, or two wedge-shaped brake pads including the brake pad mounts.
  • a wedge-shaped brake pad is therefore always pressed indirectly via the corresponding brake pad mount.
  • the wedge-shaped brake pad and the recording thus form a unit that replaces a conventional brake pad.
  • At least one spring is preloaded by an active mechanism to adjust the brake pad when the brake device is in the open state, so that if the energy supply to the brake device is interrupted, the at least one spring is released and the brake pads engage the guide rails.
  • the two brake pads engage the guide rails when the braking device is in the closed state, in that one or both brake pads are pressed against the guide rails by means of an actuator in each case.
  • This pressing by the actuator can take place against the restoring force of a spring, which keeps the relevant brake pad at a distance from the guide rail when the braking device is in the open state.
  • the actuator may be a hydraulic device. With this design, however, it is not possible to trigger the brake if the power supply is interrupted.
  • the brake pads used within the scope of the invention can either be designed in one piece or each comprise a carrier and a brake lining.
  • the materials known from the prior art can be used for the one-piece brake pads or the brake linings; in particular, the brake pads or brake linings can be formed entirely or partially from a metallic material, a polymer material or a ceramic material. These materials preferably contain fillers to increase friction and/or wear resistance.
  • the first brake pad and the second are wedge-shaped in the manner described above and combined with a corresponding brake pad receptacle.
  • both brake pads are wedge-shaped and taper in the direction of a (common) wedge direction, with the front sides of the brake pads facing the guide rail being aligned parallel to the guide rail and the opposite rear sides being inclined in accordance with the wedge shape.
  • the braking device comprises two brake pad receptacles, which have a contact surface with an inclination corresponding to the respective wedge-shaped brake pad, against which the rear side of the respective wedge-shaped brake pad bears in a sliding manner.
  • the locking device is set up to release a sliding movement of the wedge-shaped brake pads against the wedge direction in the first position and to block the sliding movement of the two wedge-shaped brake pads against the wedge direction in the second position.
  • the braking deceleration can be increased even further when driving in the direction of the wedge, since the frictional connection is even further delayed by the sliding movement of both wedges.
  • the brake pad receptacle at its end lying in the wedge direction has a stop surface for the first brake pad, so that a sliding movement of the first brake pad along the contact surface of the brake pad receptacle in the wedge direction by the Stop surface is limited and wherein the first brake pad in a first working position, in which the locking device occupies the first position, having a distance from the stop surface.
  • the wedge-shaped first brake pad then slides along the inclined abutment surface of the brake pad receiver towards the guide rails until the first brake pad reaches the abutment surface and the braking effect has increased to its full strength.
  • the stop surface has the advantage that the wedge-shaped first brake pad cannot be drawn in as far as desired, so that the braking device is prevented from jamming.
  • the locking device is set up to lock the wedge-shaped first brake pad in the second position in a second working position, in which the wedge-shaped first brake pad rests against the stop surface.
  • the wedge-shaped brake pad acts like an ordinary brake pad without any retarding effect.
  • the braking effect of the brake pad locked in this way is independent of the direction of travel.
  • the locking device comprises a locking bolt which can be moved between a first position in the first position and a second position in the second position.
  • the locking bolt is set up in the second position to positively block the sliding movement of the wedge-shaped first brake pad against the direction of the wedge.
  • the locking bolt releases the sliding movement of the wedge-shaped first brake pad in the opposite direction to the wedge.
  • the desired adjustability of the braking device can thus be achieved by this simple mechanical measure.
  • the mobility of the locking bolt can be realized electromechanically, electromagnetically, hydraulically or pneumatically.
  • the wedge-shaped first brake pad is connected to a restoring device, in particular a spring, in order to move the first brake pad from the second working position into the first working position. This ensures that the first brake pad goes back into the starting position after the braking process by means of the spring force.
  • the spring is designed as a helical spring surrounding the locking bolt. In this way, a particularly space-saving design of the locking device can be achieved.
  • the locking device comprises a magnet which is set up such that its magnetic forces act on the wedge-shaped brake block in the second position in such a way that the sliding movement of the wedge-shaped first brake block counter to the wedge direction is blocked.
  • This embodiment can be further developed in such a way that the magnetic forces of the magnet acting on the wedge-shaped first brake pad are reduced in the first position, so that the sliding movement of the wedge-shaped first brake pad counter to the wedge direction is released.
  • This design of the locking device has the advantage that there does not have to be any mechanical contact between the locking device and the wedge-shaped first brake pad. As a result, the wear on the locking device can be reduced.
  • the magnet is an electromagnet which is currentless in the first position and is energized in the second position.
  • the invention also relates to a car for an elevator system with a prescribed braking device.
  • the elevator car has the advantages that were described above in relation to the braking device.
  • the braking device is typically arranged on the elevator car in such a way that the wedge direction is directed vertically upwards.

  • the cabin is rotatably mounted relative to the guide device about a horizontal axis of rotation.
  • a vertically extending guide rail is provided in each elevator shaft, along which the elevator car can be moved.
  • each guide rail is designed with a rotatable segment, with the rotatable segments being able to be aligned with one another in such a way that the elevator car can be moved along the segments between the elevator shafts.
  • a braking device as described above is arranged on the guiding device, so that the braking device is also rotated relative to the cabin when the guiding device is rotated.
  • the invention also relates to a method for operating an elevator system as explained above, wherein the locking device is in the first position during the movement of the car along the vertically extending guide rail and is in the second position during the movement between the elevator shafts.
  • the elevator system and the method have the advantage that the same braking device can be used both for travel along the vertically extending elevator shafts (while the locking device is in the first position) and for sideways travel between the elevator shafts ( while the locking device is in the second position).
  • the omission of an additional braking device for lateral movements enables a particularly light construction of the elevator car and thus an energy-saving elevator system.
  • FIG 1 shows a first embodiment of a braking device 14 according to the invention for a car of an elevator system in a schematic cross-sectional representation.
  • the braking device 14 comprises a first brake pad 16 and a second brake pad 18 which face one another and which receive a guide rail 110 between them.

  • the wedge-shaped first brake pad 16 opposite the second brake pad 18 is cuboid. This second brake pad 18 is movable towards the guide rail 110, while the brake pad holder 30 is fixed (with respect to the braking device 14).

This ensures that the segments 120a or 120b do not strike or become wedged against the other parts of the guide rails 110a or 110b during the course of the rotation.
  • the segments 120a and 120b are moved from a vertical orientation, as shown in FIG figure 4 shown rotated to a horizontal orientation as shown in FIG figure 5 is shown and explained in detail below.
  • a compensating rail element 125 is arranged in the region of the transfer plane 500 between the guide rails 110a and 110b.
  • This compensating rail element 125 serves to bridge a free space or gap between the segments 120a and 120b rotated into the horizontal orientation.
  • the compensating rail element 125 functions analogously to the guide rails 110a and 110b as the first element 310 of the linear drive 300 and has guide elements 410 in order to serve as a horizontal guide rail for the car 200 at the same time.
  • the compensating rail element 125 can also be curved at its ends in the shape of a circular arc, in particular curved in the opposite direction to the corresponding ends of the segments 120a and 120b.
  • the elevator car 200 is initially moved along the first guide rail 110a into the transfer plane 500 and thus onto the rotatable segment 120a.
  • FIG 4 it is shown that car 200 is already in this transfer level 500 .
  • the first segment 120a of the first guide rail 110a is rotated 90° about the first horizontal axis of rotation 121a. This is indicated by the arrow 104.
  • the second segment 120b of the second guide rail 110b is rotated through 90° about the second horizontal axis of rotation 121b.
  • the guide device 220 of the elevator car 200 is also rotated by 90°.
  • the two braking devices 14 are thus also rotated by 90°.
  • the orientation of the cabin 210 remains unchanged, which is realized by rotating the cabin 210 relative to the guide device 220 by -90°.
  • the elevator system 100 is analogous to figure 4 shown schematically with the first segment 120a and the second segment 120b each rotated 90° to the horizontal orientation.
  • the cabin 210 is in the second position relative to the guide device 220 .
  • the first segment 120a rotated into the horizontal orientation, the second segment 120b rotated into the horizontal orientation and the compensating rail element 125 now form a horizontal guide rail 115.
  • the horizontal guide rail 115 is an (essentially) closed guide rail and (essentially) without one freedom developed.
  • the control unit 600 controls the two locking devices and brings them into the second position, in which a sliding movement of the wedge-shaped brake pads counter to the wedge direction is blocked. With this setting, the braking effect is independent of the direction of travel of the elevator car 200.
  • the wedge shape of the wedge-shaped first brake pad 16 results in a decelerating braking effect.
  • the braking device according to the invention can thus be used for travel between the elevator shafts as an ordinary shoe brake. No additional braking device needs to be provided specifically for travel between the elevator shafts.
  • the elevator car 200 is now moved along the horizontal guide rail 115 .
  • the second element 320 of the linear drive 300 on the car 200 interacts with the first element 310 of the linear drive, i.e. here the horizontal guide rail 115.
  • the car 200 can now be moved from the first elevator shaft 101a to the second elevator shaft 101b and thus changes between the elevator shafts 101a and 101b.
