Definitions

  • the present disclosure relates to methods for transferring the weight of an elevator cabin from a traction wire to a guide wire in an elevator system.
  • the present disclosure further relates to kits for transferring the weight of an elevator cabin from a traction wire to a guide wire.
  • Wind turbines are commonly used to supply electricity into the electrical grid.
  • Wind turbines generally comprise a rotor mounted on top of a wind turbine tower, the rotor having a rotor hub and a plurality of blades.
  • the rotor is set into rotation under the influence of the wind on the blades.
  • the operation of the generator produces the electricity to be supplied into the electrical grid.
  • hoists are often used in the form of elevator-like structures where a lift platform or a cabin for the transportation of people and/or equipment is hoisted up and/or down within the wind turbine tower.
  • Wind turbines are often provided with working platforms arranged at various heights along the height of the tower with the purpose of allowing workers to leave the cabin and inspect or repair equipment where intended.
  • These sorts of elevator systems are also known in other applications, such as e.g. factories, construction sites, and all sorts of towers.
  • Elevator systems in general, include an elevator cabin suspended within a hoistway or elevator path by wire ropes.
  • wire rope is herein used to denote a relatively thick cable. But in the art, the terms cables and wire ropes are often used interchangeably.
  • a counterweight may be provided depending on e.g. the available space. Other systems normally do not comprise a counterweight.
  • the service elevators may incorporate some form of traction device mounted on or attached to the elevator.
  • the traction device may comprise a housing including a traction mechanism, e.g. a motor driven traction sheave.
  • the motor may typically be an electrical motor, although in principle other motors could be used.
  • the traction device engages a traction wire for lifting and lowering the elevator cabin. The elevator cabins are therefore supported by the traction wire.
  • Elevators system may additionally comprise taut lines or cables, a rail, a ladder or any other rigid guiding element extending all the way from the top to the bottom of the elevator path. These elevator systems are sometimes referred as “ladder-guided” or “cable-guided”. Such rigid structures provide stabilization to the elevator cabin and avoid horizontal displacement of the elevator cabin in long elevator paths, as for example in elevator systems of wind turbines.
  • Examples of known stabilization devices involve e.g. a pair of taut lines or cables running laterally from the elevator cabin and extending all the way from the top to the bottom of the elevator path, e.g. inside of the wind turbine tower.
  • the taut lines or guiding wires are under tension thus defining relatively rigid guiding means for the cabin.
  • the elevator cabin may comprise some kind of guides that engage the guiding wires. In this way, the elevator cabin runs in a substantially controlled manner guided by the guide wires.
  • Examples of guides of the elevator cabin comprise a pair of rollers having the axis horizontally arranged and wherein the guide wire runs between the rollers. These rollers are generally made from plastic or metal and are mainly configured to withstand horizontal rather vertical forces.
  • Service elevators may further incorporate an electromagnetic brake.
  • a "secondary safety device” or “fall arrest device” can be mounted on or attached to the elevator cabin, directly or through supporting structures.
  • Such a fall arrest device serves as a back-up for the main electromagnetic brake for example in case of failure of the service elevator or breakdown of the traction wire rope.
  • the fall arrest device may typically incorporate some form of sensing mechanism to monitor the elevator's speed.
  • the secondary safety device or the fall arrest device may automatically block the elevator and inhibit any further downward movement if the sensing mechanism detects an overspeed of the elevator cabin, i.e. when the elevator cabin might be falling.
  • the speed detection mechanism in this sense acts as an overspeed detector.
  • Fall arrest devices when fitted to an appropriate wire rope, can be of the type that comprises internal rollers and a clamping mechanism (e.g. involving clamping jaws) which closes onto the safety wire rope.
  • a safety wire and a safety wire rope are herein used interchangeably. These devices may comprise a centrifugal overspeed detector.
  • Such an overspeed detector may be provided inside the housing of the fall arrest device and may comprise a driven roller coupled with movable parts that are forced outwardly as the roller rotates when it is driven by the safety wire rope passing along it.
  • a pressure roller ensures the contact between the safety wire rope and the driven roller of the centrifugal overspeed detector. If the safety wire passes through the safety device too rapidly, the brake trips and the jaws clamp onto the wire, thus blocking the safety device on the wire rope by the frictional pressure exerted by the clamping jaws onto the wire.
  • Blocking the safety device has to be fast enough for adequately stopping the elevator cabin when an overspeed is detected. Therefore, the fall arrest device needs to be precisely calibrated.
  • Fall arrest devices are therefore periodically inspected to detect operation failures. Before using the elevator system, checking the correct functioning of the fall arrest device may be required or at least recommended.
  • a fall arrest device may be checked by performing an acceleration test. In an acceleration test, a fall of the elevator cabin is simulated and the fall arrest device is thus forced to act. The safety wire is forced to pass through the safety device sufficiently fast for activating the jaws. The safety wire is clamped by the jaws and the fall arrest device thus blocks the safety wire.
  • fall arrest devices and traction devices are generally arranged on top of the elevator system. Therefore, for performing maintenance operations or tests involving the fall arrest device or the traction device, operators or users may have to access the top of the elevator cabin, e.g. for connecting and disconnecting the fall arrest device to perform the acceleration test or for fixing the traction device.
  • the elevator cabin is brought to the bottom platform and a scaffold or a ladder is required for the operators to reach the top of the cabin.
  • working on a ladder or on a scaffold may involve working in unsafe conditions.
  • some safety and health regulations do not allow operators to work on a ladder.
  • mounting a scaffold to perform maintenance operations may be inefficient since it requires a relatively long time.
  • components of the scaffold need to be transported to each wind turbine which may increase logistics costs, especially in offshore wind turbines.
  • the present disclosure provides examples of systems and methods that at least partially resolve some of the aforementioned disadvantages.
  • Service elevators and related safety devices such as fall arrest devices are not only used in wind turbine towers, but instead may be found in many different sites and structures.
  • a method for transferring the weight of an elevator cabin from a traction wire to a guide wire in an elevator system comprises an elevator cabin, a traction system having a traction wire for lifting and lowering the elevator cabin and a guide wire extending along the elevator path, wherein the elevator cabin comprises one or more guides to couple with the guide wire.
  • the method comprises connecting a stopper to the elevator cabin, the stopper having a channel configured to pass the guide wire to run through it, and clamping a wire clamp onto the guide wire in a vertical position below the stopper, the wire clamp being configured not to pass through the channel of the stopper.
  • the method comprises lowering the elevator cabin and blocking the downwards movement of the stopper by the wire clamp, in such a way that the weight of the elevator cabin is partially or completely supported by the wire clamp.
  • the method allows to block and to hold the elevator cabin independently from the traction wire and/or the safety wire.
  • the elevator cabin is stopped when the stopper reaches the wire clamp because the wire clamp cannot pass through the stopper of the cabin, the cabin is thus blocked. Therefore, the weight of the elevator is transferred to the guide wire through the stopper and the wire clamp. The stopper and the wire clamp are thus able to hold the weight of the elevator cabin.
  • the wire clamp may be mounted onto the guide wire at practically any position below the stopper of the elevator cabin, the elevator cabin may thus be blocked at a desired position.
  • the elevator cabin may therefore be blocked in a position where an operator can safely access.
  • Elevator systems may comprise two guide wires laterally arranged in relation to the elevator cabin and therefore stoppers and wire clamps are mounted for each guide wire. In this way, the stabilization of the elevator cabin is enhanced.
  • the elevator cabin can be suspended by the guide wire in an easy to access position and therefore it is no longer held by the traction wire or by the safety wire, traction systems and safety systems can be inspected or fixed while the elevator cabin is still suspended.
  • the traction system i.e. the traction wire and the traction device that engages the traction wire for lifting and lowering the elevator cabin
  • the safety system i.e. the safety wire and the fall arrest device that clamps onto the safety wire when an overspeed is detected
  • the elevator cabin may be blocked on a position that allows the operator access the top of the cabin from a platform arranged inside a tower. Therefore, the operators can perform maintenance operations, e.g. repairing or inspecting, on the traction systems and/or on the safety systems in a safe and efficient way.
  • a method for performing maintenance operations in a traction system and/or a safety system of an elevator system comprises an elevator cabin, a traction system having a traction wire for lifting and lowering the elevator cabin, a guide wire extending along the elevator path, wherein the elevator cabin comprises one or more guides to couple with guide wire and a safety system having a fall arrest device for blocking the elevator cabin when an overspeed is detected.
  • the method for performing maintenance operations in a traction system and/or in a safety system comprises positioning the elevator cabin in a position accessible from a platform arranged on a tower, transferring the weight of the elevator cabin from the traction wire to the guide wire according to any of the examples herein disclosed and performing maintenance operations in the traction system and/or in the safety system.
  • the method for transferring the weight of an elevator cabin from a traction wire to a guide wire allows to stretch the guide wire in an elevator system.
  • Guide wires may be generally tensioned by tensioning elements arranged under the bottom platform. One end of the guide wires are connected to these tensioning elements and the other end are connected to anchoring elements arranged on the top of the tower.
  • the weight of the elevator cabin stretches the guide wire. Therefore, as the guide wire is already initially stretched, the total tension provided by the tensioning elements to the guide wire can be higher.
  • mounting these tensioning elements and connecting them to the guide wire may require less effort to the operators as a part of the tension necessary to provide enough stability, i.e. tension, to the guide wires is in fact provided by the weight of the elevator cabin.
  • a method of tensioning a guide wire in an elevator system comprises an elevator cabin, a traction system having a traction wire for lifting and lowering the elevator cabin, a guide wire extending along the elevator path, wherein the elevator cabin comprises one or more guides to couple with the guide wire and at least one tensioning element configured to be connected to the guide wire for tensioning the guide wire.
  • the method of tensioning a guide wire comprises transferring the weight of the elevator cabin from the traction wire to the guide wire according to any of the examples herein disclosed and adjusting the tension provided by the at least one tensioning element to the guide wire.
  • one end of the tensioning element is fixed to the structure, e.g. a wind turbine tower, below the bottom platform, while the other end is connected to the guide wire.
  • Distance from one end to other one of the tensioning may be relatively adjusted by e.g. screwing the end connected to the guide wire towards the opposite end.
  • adjusting the tension provided by the at least one tensioning element to the guide wire comprises lengthening the guide wire, e.g. by screwing a nut or a stud so that the distance from the end connected to the guide wire to the fixed end of the tensioning element is reduced.
  • the method of tensioning a guide wire may be carried out after the elevator system has been put into service, i.e. may be periodically performed to ensure the guide wire has the required tension to provide stabilization to the elevator cabin along its path.
  • the method of tensioning a guide wire may be carried out at the installation phase.
  • the method may comprise anchoring the guide wire(s) on the top of the structure, e.g. wind turbine tower, lowering the guide wire(s) and inserting them through the guides of the elevator cabin.
  • the method of tensioning the guide wire(s) comprises transferring the weight of the elevator cabin from the traction wire to the guide wire(s) according to any of the examples herein described.
  • the guide wire(s) may therefore be tensioned, e.g. lengthened, by the effect of the weight of the cabin.
  • the guide wire(s) may then be connected to the tensioning element(s).
  • the tension provided by the tensioning element(s) is adjusted by e.g. lengthening the guide wire(s).
  • adjusting the tension provided by the tensioning elements requires less effort.
  • the distance between the upper end and the lower end, i.e. fixed to the bottom part of the tower structure, of the tensioning element to be reduced is less than when the guide wire has not been previously stretched. Installation of the elevator system may thus be quicker.
  • the tension of the guide wire may additionally be higher and consequently the stability of the elevator system might be increased.
  • the method for transferring the weight of an elevator cabin from a traction wire to a guide wire may also be used for testing a fall arrest device.
  • the control of the elevator cabin may be still commanded to continue moving down.
  • the traction device e.g. a motor
  • engages the traction wire the tension on the traction wire is released.
  • a slack on the traction wire may thus be created.
  • Such a slack may be used for example to simulate a controlled fall down of the elevator cabin.
  • the weight of the elevator cabin is thus not supported by the guide wire.
  • the fall arrest device generally comprises an overspeed detector and a blocking system for blocking the elevator cabin when an overspeed is detected by the overspeed detector.
  • a dedicated safety wire may run through the fall arrest device. The blocking system may thus clamp the fall arrest device onto the safety wire when the overspeed is detected.
  • the fall arrest device detects an overspeed and blocks the elevator cabin by clamping onto the safety wire. This falling down may be used for testing a proper functioning of the fall arrest.
  • a method for testing a fall arrest device using a method for transferring the weight of the elevator cabin from the traction wire to the guide wire according to any of the examples herein described is provided.
  • the method for testing a fall arrest device may be performed in an elevator system comprising an elevator cabin, a traction system having a traction wire for lifting and lowering the elevator cabin, a guide wire extending along the elevator path wherein the elevator cabin comprises one or more guides to couple with the guide wire and a safety system having a fall arrest device for blocking the elevator cabin when an overspeed is detected.
  • the method for testing a fall arrest device comprises positioning the elevator cabin above a bottom platform, transferring the weight of the elevator cabin from the traction wire to the guide wire according to any of the examples herein described.
  • the method further comprises commanding the elevator cabin to lower, so that the tension on the guide wire is released and unclamping the wire clamp and the elevator cabin is allow to fall down for activating the fall arrest device.
  • Such a method allows testing a fall arrest device of an elevator system, e.g. a drop test, in a quick and safe way. Compared to other methods for testing a fall arrest device, this method reproduces in a controlled manner the conditions of a real drop of an elevator cabin. Therefore, the result of the test is more realistic.
  • testing the fall arrest device may be carried out in a very short time and consequently the performance of operations involving the use of the elevator cabin inside a tower structure may be improved. Therefore, the costs of these operations can be reduced, e.g. maintenance or inspection operations.
  • the elevator system is mounted in a wind turbine tower, not only the cost of maintenance or inspection operations may be reduced, but the availability of the wind turbine may also be improved. Consequently, the energy generated by a wind turbine, and by extension a wind farm, may be increased.
  • the present disclosure provides a kit for transferring the weight of an elevator cabin from a traction wire to a guide wire according to any of the examples herein described.
  • the kit comprises a stopper configured to be connected to an elevator cabin, wherein the stopper has a channel configured to pass a guide wire to run through it and a wire clamp configured to clamp a guide wire and not to pass through the channel of the stopper.
  • the kit may be used in several wind turbines of a wind farm. Therefore, a single kit may be used in a wind farm, rather than a kit for each wind turbine, so that the installation cost can be reduced.
