Definitions

  • the present disclosure is generally related to braking and/or safety systems and, more specifically, an electromagnetic safety trigger.
  • Some machines such as an elevator system, include a safety system to stop the machine when it rotates or travels at excessive speeds in response to an inoperative component.
  • a traditional safety system includes a significant number of components that are required to effectively operate the system. These additional components increase installation time and costs. There is therefore a need for a safety system that reduces the number of components and is cost effective.
  • selectively operable braking device for an elevator system.
  • the selectively operable braking device includes a safety brake disposed on the car and adapted to be wedged against one of the guiderails when moved from a non-braking state into a braking state, a rod operably coupled to the safety brake, the rod configured to move the safety brake between the non-breaking state and braking state, a magnetic brake operably coupled to the rod and disposed adjacent to the guiderail, the magnetic brake configured to move between a rail-engaging position and a rail-non-engaging position, said magnetic brake, when in the rail-engaging position contemporaneously with motion of the car, moving the rod in a direction to thereby move the safety brake from the non-braking state into the braking state, and an electromagnetic component, the electromagnetic component configured to move the magnetic brake from the rail-engaging position to the rail-non-engaging position upon receipt of a resetting signal.
  • the electromagnetic component may comprise a retention apparatus configured to move the electromagnetic component in a direction parallel to an actuation axis.
  • the retention apparatus may further comprise a biasing member configured to apply a force to the electromagnetic component in the direction parallel to the actuation axis.

  • the biasing member may comprise at least one spring.
  • the biasing member may comprise at least one compression spring.
  • the biasing member may comprise at least one compression conical spring.
  • the biasing member may comprise at least one leaf spring.

  • a selectively operable magnetic braking system comprising: a safety brake disposed on a machine and adapted to arrest movement of the machine when moved from a non-braking state into a braking state; a magnetic brake disposed adjacent to the machine, the magnetic brake configured to move between an engaging position and a non-engaging position, said magnetic brake, when in the engaging position contemporaneously with motion of the machine, moving to thereby move the safety brake from the non-braking state into the braking state; an electromagnetic component configured to move the magnetic brake from the engaging position to the non-engaging position upon receipt of a resetting signal; and wherein the electromagnetic component further comprises a retention apparatus configured to move the electromagnetic component in a direction parallel to an actuation axis.
  • the retention apparatus may further comprise a biasing member configured to apply a force to the electromagnetic component in the direction parallel to the actuation axis.
  • the retention apparatus may further comprise a housing wall, wherein the biasing member is disposed between the housing wall and the electromagnetic component, wherein the biasing component is operative to apply the force to the electromagnetic component in the direction parallel to the actuation axis.
  • the biasing member may comprise at least one spring.
  • the biasing member may comprise at least one compression spring.
  • the biasing member may comprise at least one compression conical spring.
  • the biasing member may comprise at least one leaf spring.
  • the biasing member may comprise at least one tension spring.
  • the biasing member may comprise at least one compressible foam member.
  • the retention apparatus may further comprises: a motor; and a threaded shaft operably coupled to the motor for rotation thereof by the motor; wherein the threaded shaft is further threadingly coupled to the electromagnetic component such that rotation of the threaded shaft by the motor causes the electromagnetic component to move in the direction parallel to the actuation axis.
  • the selectively operable braking device further includes a safety controller in electrical communication with the electromagnetic component, the safety controller configured to send a trigger signal and the resetting signal, wherein the electromagnetic component is configured to move the magnetic brake to the rail-engaging position upon receipt of the trigger signal.
  • the electromagnetic component is configured to hold the magnetic brake in the rail-non-engaging position.
  • the electromagnetic component further includes a retention apparatus.
  • the retention apparatus comprises a housing wall, wherein in some embodiments, the retention apparatus further includes a biasing member configured to move the electromagnetic component in a direction parallel to an actuation axis.

In further embodiments, the retention apparatus further includes a motor and a threaded rod threadingly engaged with the electromagnetic component and configured to move the electromagnetic component in a direction parallel to an actuation axis. In another embodiment, the retention apparatus is configured to return the magnetic brake, the electromagnetic component, or both, to the rail-non-engaging position when the electromagnetic component and the magnetic brake are fully engaged.
  • FIG. 1 shows an elevator system, generally indicated at 10.
  • the elevator system 10 includes cables 12, a car frame 14, a car 16, roller guides 18, guide rails 20, a governor 22, safeties 24, linkages 26, levers 28, and lift rods 30.
  • Governor 22 includes a governor sheave 32, rope loop 34, and a tensioning sheave 36.
  • Cables 12 are connected to car frame 14 and a counterweight (not shown in FIG. 1 ) inside a hoistway.
  • Car 16, which is attached to car frame 14, moves up and down the hoistway by force transmitted through cables 12 to car frame 14 by an elevator drive (not shown) commonly located in a machine room at the top of the hoistway.
  • Roller guides 18 are attached to car frame 14 to guide the car 16 up and down the hoistway along guide rail 20.
  • governor sheave 32 is mounted at an upper end of the hoistway.
  • Rope loop 34 is wrapped partially around governor sheave 32 and partially around tensioning sheave 36 (located in this embodiment at a bottom end of the hoistway).
  • Rope loop 34 is also connected to elevator car 16 at lever 28, ensuring that the angular velocity of governor sheave 32 is directly related to the speed of elevator car 16
  • governor 22 an electromechanical brake (not shown) located in the machine room, and safeties 24 act to stop elevator car 16 if car 16 exceeds a set speed as it travels inside the hoistway. If car 16 reaches an over-speed condition, governor 22 is triggered initially to engage a switch, which in turn cuts power to the elevator drive and drops the brake to arrest movement of the drive sheave and thereby arrest movement of car 16. If, however, cables 12 break or car 16 otherwise experiences a free-fall condition unaffected by the brake, governor 22 may then act to trigger safeties 24 to arrest movement of car 16. In addition to engaging a switch to drop the brake, governor 22 also releases a clutching device that grips the governor rope 34.
  • governor rope 34 is connected to safeties 24 through mechanical linkages 26, levers 28, and lift rods 30. As car 16 continues its descent unaffected by the brake, governor rope 34, which is now prevented from moving by actuated governor 22, pulls on operating lever 28. Operating lever 28 "sets" safeties 24 by moving linkages 26 connected to lift rods 30, which lift rods 30 cause safeties 24 to engage guide rails 20 to bring car 16 to a stop.
  • FIG. 2 shows an embodiment of an electromagnetic safety trigger 40 for an elevator safety system in a normal operating state.
  • the electromagnetic safety trigger 40 includes an electromagnetic component 42 and a magnetic brake 44.

  • the electromagnetic component 42 further includes a retention apparatus 52.
  • the retention apparatus 52 includes a housing wall 54 and at least one resetting spring 56.
  • the at least one resetting spring 56 is configured to move the electromagnetic component 42 in a direction parallel to the axis A.
  • the housing wall 54 may be flexible and configured to move the electromagnetic component 42 in a direction parallel to the axis A. In such an embodiment, the at least one resetting spring 56 may not be required.
  • the magnetic brake 44 includes a holder 58 having a first end 60 and a brake portion 62 disposed on a second end 64.
  • a magnet 66 is disposed within the holder 58, and configured to magnetically couple the magnetic brake 44 to the electromagnetic component 42 in a non-engaging position and to a metal component of the system (e.g. the guide rails 20) in an engaging position.

  • the safety 24 is pushed in an upward direction by a small linkage bar 66 operably coupled to the safety 24 and the magnetic brake 44 when relative motion is created by the magnetic brake 44 sticking to the guide rail 20.
  • FIG. 5 shows the electromagnetic safety trigger 40 in a transition state from a braking state to a non-braking state.
