  • The door vane mounting seat 1 is mounted on a driving side car door 30. A shaft 6 for the first swinging rod, a shaft 7 for the second swinging rod, a shaft 23 for the third swinging rod and a shaft 24 for the fourth swinging rod are riveted on the door vane mounting seat 1 in a high-speed spinning manner. A shaft center connecting line between the shaft 6 for the first swinging rod and the shaft 7 for the second swinging rod is vertical. The shaft 6 for the first swinging rod is directly above the shaft 7 for the second swinging rod. The shaft center connecting line between the shaft 23 for the third swinging rod and the shaft 24 for the fourth swinging rod is vertical. The shaft 23 for the third swinging rod is directly above the shaft 24 for the fourth swinging rod. The shaft 6 for the first swinging rod and the shaft 23 for the third swinging rod have a certain horizontal distance.
  • The first swinging rod 3 has a rotating center 36, and a bearing is riveted at the position of the rotating center 36. The end riveted bearing on one side of the rotating center 36 is hinged with the upper part of the first movable vane 2, and a hole is opened in the fitting position of the upper part of the first movable vane 2. A hexagonal bolt may be used as a shaft to fit with the bearing at the hinging point on one side of the rotating center 36 of the first swinging rod 3. A protruding part 13 is arranged on the first swinging rod 3, and preferably the protruding part is a roller. A shaft 14 for the roller is riveted on the first swinging rod 3 in a high-speed spinning manner, a bearing is riveted in the roller of the first swinging rod, and the roller is hinged onto the shaft 14 for the roller. A second end connecting point 39 is arranged on the second swinging rod 4, a bearing is riveted onto the connecting point 39, used as the rotating center of the second swinging rod 4 and is hinged with the shaft 7 for the second swinging rod of the door vane mounting seat 1, the other end of the second swinging rod 4 is riveted with a bearing which is hinged with the lower part of the first movable vane 2, a hole is opened in the hinging position of the lower part of the first movable vane 2, and a hexagonal bolt is used as a shaft. The first movable vane 2 uses a hexagonal bolt as a shaft, and the hexagonal bolt penetrates through the back surface of the first swinging rod, runs through the first swinging rod 3 and the bearing of the first swinging rod 43, and the first movable vane 2, and is fixed on the front surface of the first movable vane by using a nut.
  • As illustrated in FIG. 5, the blocking part 9 on the static part of the elevator door operator cross beam is a steel plate that has been bent for 90 degrees twice. The blocking part 9 has a blocking part mounting surface 51 which is mounting with the static part of the elevator door operator cross beam, a blocking part bending surface 48 which is perpendicular to the blocking part mounting surface 51, and a third surface which is perpendicular to the blocking part bending surface 48 and parallel to the blocking part mounting surface 51. The blocking part mounting surface 51 and the third surface are not on the same plane, but are parallel to each other. Preferably, the side surface of the third surface is the cam line 50 of the cam. When the car door is opened, when the first swinging rod 3 is rotating, the protruding part 13 is in contact with the cam line, and the rotation speed is controlled by the cam line. When the first swinging rod 3 stops rotating, the protruding part 13 is far away from the blocking part 9.
  • As illustrated in FIG. 4, the door vane mounting seat 1 is a plate which is bent for 90 degree, the front surface is parallel to the surface of a door plate, and a side surface perpendicular to the front surface is formed by bending on the door closing side. Circular holes with diameter of 9mm are respectively opened in the upper end and the lower end of the side surface, M8 welding nuts are aligned and welded in the centers of the circular holes, and the welding nuts are on the outer side of the door vane mounting seat. M8 bolts wrapped with rubber at the top ends are used, the length of the bolts is 25mm, the bolts are mounted on the M8 welding nuts, and the positions of the bolts are on the inner side of the door vane mounting seat. The bolts on the upper side and the lower side are a first limiting device 18. The first movable vane 2 has mutually perpendicular surfaces, after the front surface is hinged with the first swinging rod 3 and the second swinging rod 4, the first movable vane 2 is vertical, and when the door is fully closed, the first limiting device is adjusted such that, when the side surface of the first movable vane is in contact with the first limiting device 18, the horizontal gap between the first movable vane 2 and the outer circle of the upper unlocking roller of the landing door lock is set as C1, which may be generally 9mm.
  • As illustrated in FIG. 2-4, the first swinging rod 3, the second swinging rod 4 and the first movable vane 2 form a double swinging rod mechanism. The gravity of the mechanism enables the first movable vane 2 to swing towards the door opening direction. The pressing applied by the blocking part 9 to the protruding part 13 always causes the first swinging rod 3 to clockwise rotate with the rotating center 36 as a center, and at this time the first movable vane 2 swings towards the door closing direction. When the door is fully closed, the protruding part 13 is pressed against by the blocking part 9, the contact position is the starting end of the cam line 50 of the blocking part 9, and at this time the first movable vane 2 is limited by the first limiting device 18 and cannot continuously swing.
  • [As illustrated in FIG. 6, one M5 threaded hole is machined in the second swinging rod 4, and an elastic element pressing plate device 61 is mounted on the threaded hole. The elastic element pressing plate device 61 comprises an elastic element pressing plate mounting plate 62, a compression spring base 64, and a conical shaft 65. The elastic element pressing plate mounting plate 62 is a steel plate which is bent for 90 degrees and consists of a front surface and a side surface. One circular hole is machined in the front surface. Through the circular hole, the elastic element pressing plate mounting plate 62 is mounted on the M5 threaded hole in the second swinging rod 4. A circular hole with diameter of 5 is machined in the side surface of the elastic element pressing plate mounting plate 62, and the compression spring base 64 is riveted on the circular hole at high speed. The compression spring base 64 is a circular surface, and the circular surface is parallel to the side surface of the elastic element pressing plate mounting plate 62. The conical shaft 65 is arranged on the compression spring base 64. The center of the conical shaft is concentric with the circle center of the compression spring base 64. The length of the conical shaft is 5mm. An M5 threaded hole is machined in the side surface of the door vane mounting seat horizontally opposite to the elastic element pressing plate mounting plate 62, an M5 screw is mounted on the threaded hole in the side surface of the door vane mounting seat, and the length of the screw may be within 12mm to 16mm. When the door is fully closed, the angle between the side surface of the elastic element pressing plate mounting plate 62 and the side surface of the door vane mounting seat 1 may be set to 10 degrees. One end of the compression spring 63 sleeves the M5 screw, and the other end sleeves the conical shaft to ensure that the first movable vane 2 is not separated from the conical shaft 65 and the M5 screw 60 in the whole maximum swinging process. In the working travel of swinging of the first movable vane 2, the surface of the compression spring base 64 of the elastic element pressing plate is always in contact with the compression spring 63, such that the deformation of the compression spring 63 accumulates or releases energy. When the compression spring 63 releases energy, it pushes the first movable vane 2 to swing towards the door opening direction, and the first movable vane 2 swings towards the door closing direction to enable the compression spring 63 to accumulate energy.
  • The car door operator has a full closing holding force, which can be provided by a door motor or other mechanical device. When the door is fully closed, even if the first movable vane 2 is pushed towards the door opening direction by the compression spring 63 or the gravity of the mechanism, under the effect of the full closing holding force of the car door, the protruding part 13 of the first swinging rod is pressed against by the lower end of the blocking part 9, and the first movable vane 2 cannot swing towards the door opening direction.
  • As illustrated in FIG. 7-8, when the car door is normally opened in the unlocking area, there are a landing door unlocking roller 28 and a landing door lock linkage roller 29 between the first movable vane 2 and the second movable vane 27. Generally, the outer diameter of the landing door unlocking roller 28 and the outer diameter of the landing door lock linkage roller 29 are the same. Only after the landing door unlocking roller 28 swings for a certain distance of unlocking travel, the landing door unlocking roller cannot swing. At this time the centers of the landing door unlocking roller 28 and the landing door lock linkage roller 29 are on the same vertical line. When the car door is opened, as mentioned above, the first movable vane 2 swings towards the door opening direction. While the car door is opened, the first movable vane 2 swings for a horizontal distance K and then contacts the landing door unlocking roller 28 to continuously open the car door. The first movable vane 2 continuously swings such that the landing door unlocking roller 28 swings towards the landing door lock unlocking direction until the landing door unlocking roller cannot swing. At this time, the centers of the landing door unlocking roller 28 and the landing door lock linkage roller 29 are on the same vertical line. At this time, the acceleration force to push the landing door is far greater than the driving force of the first movable vane 2. The driving force of the first movable vane 2 is the gravity of the double swinging rod mechanism of the first movable vane 2, or the pushing force of the compression spring 63. When the car door is continuously opened, the first movable vane 2 will swing towards the door closing direction by overcoming the driving force under the acceleration reaction force that pushes the landing door. When the car door continuously moves, the first movable vane 2 swings and contacts the first limiting device 18 under the effect of the reverse pushing force of the landing door, and cannot continuously swing. At this time, it can be defined that the door opening travel of the car door is S. At this time, the acceleration force to push the landing door is provided by the first limiting device 18, and the car door and the landing door start to move together.
  • After the car door is opened, the second movable vane 27 starts to swing towards the door closing direction under the effect of the second movable vane action driving device 35. The second movable vane action driving device 35 enables the horizontal swinging displacement of the second movable vane 27 towards the door closing direction after the car door is opened to be S2: S2 = S1-D.
  • In the above formula, S1 is the distance between the working face of the first movable vane 2 and the working face of the second movable vane 27 when the door is fully closed, D is the horizontal outer width of the landing door unlocking roller 28 and the landing door lock linkage roller 29, and generally in the existing technology, D is the outer diameter of the landing door unlocking roller or the landing door lock linkage roller.
  • In the actual design, according to the above settings, when the car door is fully closed, the horizontal gap P between the working face of the first movable vane 2 and the outer circle of the upper roller of the landing door lock is 9mm. Through the design of the blocking part 9, the design of the first swinging rod 3, the position relationship between the first rotating center 36 and the first movable vane 2 on the first swinging rod 3, the position relationship between the protruding part 13 on the first swinging rod 3 and the rotating center 36 of the first swinging rod, and the position relationship between the blocking part 9 and the rotating center 36 of the first swinging rod, the unlocking linkage process of the car door and the landing door in the unlocking area is as follows:
  • When the car door travel is 4mm, the horizontal travel of the horizontal swinging of the first movable vane 2 is 5mm, and the working face of the first movable vane 2 just contacts the outer circle of the landing door unlocking roller 28.
  • When the car door travel is 7mm, the horizontal travel of the horizontal swinging of the first movable vane 2 is 9mm, and the first movable vane 2 enables the outer circle of the landing door unlocking roller 28 to rotate to a position at which the unlocking travel is the maximum. At this time, the centers of the landing door unlocking roller 28 and the landing door lock linkage roller 29 are on the same vertical line, and the upper roller of the landing door lock cannot continuously rotate. At this time, the reaction force of the acceleration force of the landing door is greater than the sum of the gravity of the first movable vane mechanism and the force in the horizontal direction of the pressing force of the compression spring 63. When the car door is continuously opened, the first movable vane 2 starts to swing towards the door closing direction.
  • When the car door travel is 16mm, the first movable vane 2 has rotated towards the door closing direction and has contacted the first limiting device 18, the horizontal displacement of the first movable vane 2 compared with the original one is also 16mm, and then the car door and the landing door are opened and closed in a linked manner. In the opening process of the car door, the second movable vane 27 continuously swings towards the door closing direction under the control of the second movable vane action control device 35, the final horizontal swinging travel is S1-D, and thus the upper and lower rollers of the landing door are clamped.
  • When the car is in the unlocking area and requires for emergency rescue, a triangular key is used to open the landing door. When the landing door is opened, the landing door lock linkage roller 29 firstly contacts the second movable vane 27, and the second movable vane 27 is subjected to the pushing force such that the car door is opened. When the car door is opened, the first swinging rod 3 anticlockwise rotates, and the first movable vane 2 swings towards the door opening direction. When the first movable vane 2 swings until it contacts the landing door lock linkage roller 29,
  • the horizontal travel of the swinging of the first movable vane 2 towards the door opening direction is S4: S4=S1-D.
  • In the above formula, S1 is the distance between the working face of the first movable vane 2 and the working face of the second movable vane 27 when the door is fully closed, S1 is 72mm here, and D is the horizontal outer width of the landing door unlocking roller and the landing door lock linkage roller.
  • When the car is in the unlocking area, the car door drives the landing door to move together. When the door is closed, the second movable vane 27 swings towards the door opening direction under the control of the second movable vane action driving device 35 to release the pushing force to the landing door lock linkage roller. In the existing technology, the second movable vane 27 generally releases the pushing force to the landing door lock linkage roller when the car door is at a position with a distance of about 90mm before the door is closed, and the landing door is closed under the effect of the forced door closing force and the initial kinetic energy. Two situations may occur when the door is closed later:
  • In the first situation, the door closing speed of the landing door is always greater than or equal to the door closing speed of the car door, and the landing door unlocking roller 28 will finally contact the first movable vane 2 and apply a pressing force to the first movable vane 2. When the first movable vane 2 is limited by the first limiting device 18, the speed of the landing door and the speed of the car door are the same, the unlocking roller is always in the unlocked state until the landing door is closed, the first movable vane 2 of the car door operator is far away from the unlocking roller 28, and the landing door unlocking roller rotates towards the locking direction under the effect of its own spring force and gravity, and finally locks the landing door.
  • In the second situation, the door closing speed of the landing door is smaller than the door closing speed of the car door. At this time, the landing door unlocking roller has a trend of being far away from the first movable vane 2. At this time, the first movable vane 2 rotates towards the door opening direction under the effect of the gravity of the double swinging rod mechanism or the compression spring 63. The horizontal pushing force produced by the compression spring 63 to the first movable vane 2 in the door opening direction should be greater than the horizontal force produced by the landing door unlocking roller 28 during rotation towards the locking direction. The landing door unlocking roller 28 cannot rotate towards the locking direction under the push of the first movable vane 2. Till the protruding part 13 of the first swinging rod 3 contacts the blocking part 9, the first swinging rod 3 enables the first movable vane 2 to rotate towards the door closing direction under the reverse pushing force of the blocking part 9. At this time, the landing door unlocking roller 28 starts to rotate towards the locking direction.
  • According to the above moment that the car door is opened and the landing door moves together, the travel of the car door S=P+S5=16mm.
  • P is the horizontal gap between the first movable vane 2 and the landing door unlocking roller when the car door is fully closed, which is 9mm.
  • S5 is the horizontal travel of the unlocking of the landing door unlocking roller, which is 7mm.
  • When the car door is closed and the protruding part 13 of the first swinging rod 3 contacts the blocking part 9, the rest of the car door travel from the car door to the fully closed position of the car door is smaller than or equal to S, which is obtained through the following design:
    1. (1) The shape of the cam line of the blocking part 9 and the position relationship between the blocking part 9 and the first swinging rod 3.
    2. (2) The leverage ratio of the first swinging rod 3 and the outer diameter of the protruding part 13. The leverage ratio is the ratio of the distance from the center of the protruding part 13 to the rotating center to the distance from the hinging point of the first movable vane 2 to the rotating center.
    3. (3) The relationship between the horizontal travel of swinging of the second movable vane 2 and the travel of the car door.
