Definitions

  • the invention relates to a release unit for actuating an elevator brake device according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Elevators are normally equipped with an elevator braking device that brakes or catches the elevator car in the event of an impermissibly high travel speed. Possible reasons for an impermissibly high acceleration of the car are, for example, a malfunction of the control of a drive or its brake or a broken cable.
  • the elevator brake device can be triggered in various ways.
  • the braking device is often activated by a speed limiter installed in the shaft.
  • a self-contained governor rope is attached in the elevator shaft, which is deflected by the speed governor and a tensioning pulley.
  • the governor rope is connected at one point to the braking device of the elevator car or to the braking element of the braking device and is accordingly carried along by the elevator car when it moves.
  • An impermissibly high driving speed then leads to the
  • Speed limiter brakes the governor rope. Since the governor rope thus moves more slowly in the elevator shaft than the elevator car and the brake element attached to it, the governor rope exerts a tensile force on the brake element. This activates the braking device.
  • Such purely mechanical release units have various disadvantages, such as, for example, their susceptibility to failure when the speed governor is soiled or the relatively high effort involved in assembly. Due to the disadvantages of mechanical release units, an increasing trend towards electromagnetic releases can be observed. Such triggers are, however, usually developed individually for each elevator braking device, so that a separate safety certification must take place for each combination of triggering unit and braking device.
  • the shaft is usually equipped with sensors arranged at regular intervals or even with a complete shaft copying, which detect overspeed. In the event of overspeed, a signal is then sent to the mostly electromagnetically based release unit.
  • These trigger units are usually designed in such a way that they automatically trigger the braking process in the event of a power failure.
  • a typical elevator brake device which is equipped with an electromagnetic release unit is described, for example, in WO2006 / 077243A1.
  • the retaining element is an electromagnet that attracts the braking element, which is designed as a brake roller, and thus prevents contact with the guide rail of the elevator.
  • the electromagnet is switched off and the braking element is pressed by a compression spring in the direction of the guide rail.
  • the brake roller rolls off the guide rail and runs into a wedge gap between the guide rail and a pressure body, which is also Is part of the braking device.
  • the brake roller equipped with a friction surface brakes the elevator car.
  • the electromagnet is activated in order to bring the braking element out of its braking position back into the inactive position.
  • the braking element is brought back into a position in which there is no longer any contact with the guide rail.
  • the elevator car is usually set back a little.
  • this braking device requires a relatively strong electromagnet, since there is a relatively large air gap between the magnet and the braking element due to the pivoting kinematics.
  • a similar elevator brake device with an electromagnetic release unit is known from the European patent EP1902993B1.
  • the braking element is not linked directly to the release unit, which also consists of an electromagnet and a compression spring. Instead, the electromagnet and the compression spring act on a guide element which guides the braking element. Since the air gap between the guide element and the electromagnet is smaller than in the braking device from WO2006 / 077243A1, a significantly less powerful electromagnet can be used.
  • Elevator brake devices and release units are usually completely new units that have to be developed and certified for each load and speed range.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a universally usable release unit with which elevator brake devices that were previously mechanically operated or triggered by means of a speed governor rope can be electrically triggered.
  • a release unit for actuating an elevator brake device, with a basic release body that can be mounted on the car, a release, a contact element for generating actuating forces through frictional contact with the guide rail, and a coupling element.
  • the contact member can be connected to an elevator brake device via the coupling member, preferably in the manner described in more detail below.
  • the trigger unit is designed in such a way that its trigger keeps the contact element at a distance from the guide rail in the non-triggered state and brings it into frictional contact with the rail in the triggered state.
  • the contact element which is in frictional engagement with the rail moves along a gap between the basic release body and the guide rail.
  • the contact member takes the coupling member with it and, through the movement of the coupling member, causes the elevator brake device to respond automatically.
  • the trigger unit is characterized in that the trigger unit can be mounted on the elevator car separately or even at a distance from the elevator brake device is and is in connection with the elevator brake device only via the coupling element.
  • the trigger unit is mounted on the elevator car in such a way that the basic trigger body and the trigger are near the guide rails.
  • the distance to the guide rail is chosen so that the trigger prevents contact between the contact element and the guide rail in its untriggered state.
  • the contact element moves simultaneously with the elevator car through the elevator shaft.
  • the speed and direction of movement of the car and the contact element are therefore the same.
  • the contact element As soon as the contact element is in contact with the guide rail and the trigger at the same time, it moves more slowly than the car through the elevator shaft due to the friction. During a downward movement of the car, the contact element consequently moves upwards relative to the car.
  • the coupling member which is connected at one end to the contact member, and the brake wedge of the elevator brake device connected to it at the other end of the coupling member, move then also upwards relative to the car.
  • the brake wedge since the elevator brake device mounted on the elevator car continues to move downwards in the elevator shaft simultaneously with the elevator car, the brake wedge also moves upwards relative to the elevator brake device.
  • the brake wedge is consequently brought into the braking position with the aid of the displacement of the contact element, which is transmitted to the elevator brake device via the coupling element, from which the elevator brake device responds automatically and finally brakes the car.
  • the contact element unlike the brake wedge, the contact element as such does not develop any braking effect on the rail, which brakes the car or more than just insignificantly decelerates.
  • the contact element only provides the powerful servo effect that is necessary to start the elevator brake device. This function of generating braking forces that reduce the speed of the car is rather confirmed by the coupling member elevator braking device with its at least Subject to a brake key, braking roller or brake eccentric V.
  • a separate assembly is understood to mean a fastening in which the release unit can be attached to and removed from the elevator car completely independently of the elevator brake device.
  • a spaced assembly is understood to mean an assembly in which there is direct contact between the release unit and the elevator brake device solely via a coupling element, preferably in the form of a pull rod that is usually pivoted on both sides, and their separate housings have no direct physical contact with one another. Because the release unit can be mounted on the elevator car separately or at a distance from the elevator brake device, a specific release unit can be used for different elevator brake devices. The distance between the elevator brake device and the release unit is determined by the length of the coupling link.
  • connection between the release unit and the elevator brake device via the coupling element is preferably releasable so that individual components of the release unit or the entire release unit or individual components of the elevator brake device or the entire elevator brake device can be exchanged.
  • the connection or the means enabling the connection on the release unit are preferably designed in such a way that different elevator brake devices can be connected to the release unit for the purpose of their release without having to make any structural changes to the release unit. In any case, no structural changes are required, each of which would require recertification. In all of this, preferably no changes or at least no changes requiring recertification have to be made to the elevator brake device either.
  • guide rail preferably denotes the guide rail of the elevator car running in the elevator shaft.
  • untriggered state denotes the position of the trigger in which contact between the contact element and the guide rail is not possible.
  • triggered state denotes the position of the trigger in which it was moved in the direction of the guide rail so that the contact element rests against the guide rail.
  • brake wedge of the elevator brake device typically refers to the movable element of an elevator brake device, which triggers the braking process by inserting it into a wedge gap between the
  • Elevator brake device and the guide rail is retracted. It is also conceivable that the "wedge” is a role that develops a wedge effect in the gap into which it is drawn or an eccentric which, when rotated, causes an increase in the normal force.
  • braking position describes the position of the brake wedge from which it is automatically driven deeper and deeper into the wedge gap between the elevator brake device and the guide rail by the movement of the car until the car comes to a standstill.
  • the trigger unit in such a way that the contact element moves along into the gap between the trigger base body and the guide rail when the car is reset from the catch and thereby applies sufficient forces that it engages a brake wedge of the elevator brake device by means of the Coupling link in its fully ventilated
  • the state when the brake wedge has been clamped in the gap between the guide rail and the base body of the elevator brake device and the car has been brought to a complete standstill is referred to as a catch.
  • the contact member is connected to the coupling member in such a way that the contact member can move a certain amount without taking the coupling member.
  • This refinement is particularly advantageous if the trip unit according to the invention is de-energized to reduce the power consumption in standby and then changes in position or small changes in position occur over the possibly longer period of standby operation.
  • Examples include temperature fluctuations, which are relevant not least for elevators in high-rise buildings. To be mentioned purely as an example is the case that the building has 25 floors and then the car is in its standby position on the ground floor on a more than 50 m long suspension cable. The corresponding change in length is already considerable with a temperature fluctuation of 10 ° .
  • the brake wedge of the elevator brake device can be drawn in at least a little way into the wedge gap assigned to it, if no special precautions are taken. This hinders the trouble-free onward journey.
  • the fact that the contact element can move translationally by a certain amount without taking the coupling element with it means that the elevator brake device does not immediately go into its self-locking catch position. Car vibrations or other negligible car movements then do no harm. A reset movement of the car is therefore not necessary after such harmless movements, but it is sufficient to put the trigger back in its move untriggered position.
  • the "translational" movement of the contact member by a certain amount means the movement relative to the coupling member.
  • the coupling member has an elongated hole via which it is connected to the contact element, preferably with the aid of a bolt.
  • the coupling member is only taken along by the contact member when the bolt connecting the contact member and the coupling member has reached the upper end of the elongated hole.
  • the contact element is provided with a bolt which is guided along an elongated hole in the coupling member.
  • the contact element, the bolt and the elongated hole must be positioned in relation to one another in such a way that the bolt is in the lower area of the elongated hole when the trigger is not triggered.
  • the bolt After the bolt has been moved upwards by a certain amount by the contact element, it rests against the upper end of the elongated hole. A further upward movement of the contact member and the bolt relative to the coupling member then leads to the coupling member being pulled upwards by the bolt.
  • the bolt ideally has a diameter at the end that points away from the contact element which is greater than the diameter of the elongated hole. If the bolt with the end at which it has a smaller diameter is first passed through the elongated hole and then through the contact element and then secured with a locking ring to prevent it from slipping axially relative to the contact element, the contact element is also protected against inadmissible displacement in relation to the coupling element secured in the axial direction.
  • Trigger base body which the contact element runs along when it is in contact with the guide rail, and which is attached to the Adjacent trigger, pressed towards the guide rail with the aid of preloaded springs.
  • the contact element When the contact element is located in the corresponding section of the gap between the basic release body and the guide rail, the running surface thus exerts a force on the contact element.
  • the friction between the contact element depends on the one hand on the coefficient of friction and on the other hand on the normal force with which the contact element is pressed onto the guide rail, it makes sense to increase the normal force. This can be achieved in that the area of the base body of the release unit adjoining the release is pressed in the direction of the guide rail with the aid of one or more pretensioned springs. If the contact element now passes the running surface of the area pressed by springs in the direction of the guide rail, the contact element is also pressed in the direction of the guide rail. The friction between the contact element and the guide rail is thus increased.
  • running surface denotes the surface of the area supported by springs which faces the guide rail and which the contact element runs along.
  • runs along can denote both rolling, if the contact element is designed as a roller, as well as sliding along, if the contact element is designed as a brake lining.
  • the trigger is a rocker arm that is set in a rotational movement in order to change from the triggered to the non-triggered state and vice versa.
  • the trigger also has a holder which, in the triggered state, prevents all translational movements of the contact element, except upwards, parallel to the guide rail.
  • the trigger In the untripped state of the trigger, it must prevent contact between the contact element and the guide rail. For this it is advisable to equip the trigger with a holder on which the contact element rests in the untripped state.
  • the holder is ideally a bowl-like or channel-like component section that prevents the roller from wobbling back and forth and possibly coming into contact with the guide rail.
  • the trigger designed as a rocker arm, is rotatably mounted around a bolt that serves as a fulcrum. If a force is now exerted on the rocker arm that does not act on the pivot point, the rocker arm is set in a rotational movement around the pivot point. A rotational movement of the rocker arm in the direction of the guide rail then leads to at least part of the trigger moving in the direction of the guide rail. If the holder with the contact element is in the area of the part of the trigger rotating in the direction of the guide rail, the contact element can be brought into contact with the guide rail. This offers the advantage that no complex linear guide is required to move the To move the trigger from its untriggered position to its triggered position.

  • a spring acts on the release in such a way that it swivels into its released position as soon as the electromagnet is no longer energized.
  • the release is actively held in its untripped position by an electromagnet while another force tries to move it into its released position, a power failure and the associated failure of the electromagnet while the car is moving automatically triggers the release unit and then triggers the Triggering the elevator braking device. It is also possible to actively keep the electromagnet in its untriggered position by means of a pneumatic, hydraulic or a unit that no longer exerts any force on the trigger in the event of a power failure.
  • the electromagnet and the spring element both attack at the same point or at the same height, it must be ensured that the spring force is less than the magnetic force, otherwise the trigger will be held permanently in its triggered position. If the trigger is designed as a rocker arm that rotates around a certain pivot point in order to get into the triggered or untriggered state, it is advisable to let the electromagnet attack at a greater distance from the pivot point than the spring, in order to achieve a force with the same force generate higher torque.
  • the armature of the electromagnet is preferably connected to a plunger which presses the trigger into its untripped position and holds it there when the armature is attracted by the coil of the electromagnet.

  • the trigger In the triggered state, that is, when the trigger has been moved so far in the direction of the guide rail that the brake lining is in contact with the guide rail, there is friction between the brake lining and the guide rail. So that there is no unnecessary wear on the brake lining before it is in the gap between the running surface pressed by springs in the direction of the guide rail and the guide rail, the trigger is equipped with a linear bearing against which the brake bellows rests on one side.
  • the brake lining Due to the sliding friction between the guide rail and the brake lining, the brake lining is moved upwards relative to the trigger until it reaches the gap between the running surface, which is pressed with springs in the direction of the guide rail, and the guide rail.

The brake wedge 11 is consequently also moved downwards relative to the rest of the elevator brake device 2.
  • the contact member 6 After the contact member 6 has passed the gap between the running surface 12 and the guide rail 9, it falls back into its starting position due to gravity and remains on the holder 14 of the trigger 5. However, this only applies if the holding magnet had already been energized again beforehand and has therefore already brought the trigger 5 back into its untripped position or at least held it there. Otherwise, on the way back, the contact element 6 hits the preferably correspondingly beveled corner of the trigger 5. It then pushes it back in the direction of its untriggered position so that the air gap on the holding magnet is sufficiently small to allow the holding magnet to be energized again to hold the trigger in its untripped position against the spring force.
  • the electromagnet 16 is shown in the sectional view.
  • the plunger 20 is connected to the armature 19 of the electromagnet, usually by pressing. It protrudes in the axial direction through the coil 21 and the housing 17 surrounding the coil 21 as well as the housing 18 surrounding the electromagnet 16 in order to be able to act on the trigger 5.
  • the housing 18 On the left side, the housing 18 has a through-hole through which the plunger 20 protrudes when the electromagnet 16 is not energized.
  • the construction according to the invention is typically operated in a power-saving manner. If the car remains in the standby position for a long time, the energization of the holding magnets is stopped so that the contact elements come to rest on the guide rail.
  • release using the Trip units 1 according to the invention have the advantage that no synchronization is required. Rather, it is structurally ensured that a simultaneous electrical actuation of the release units results in a synchronous response even without special synchronization.
  • the omission of the synchronization means that a considerable amount of installation space can be saved, mostly in the area below the car. This noticeably meets the need for smaller shaft pits or shaft heads.
