Definitions
- the invention relates to a drive system, in particular for use in elevator systems, having at least one roller that is rotatably mounted in a first direction and in a second direction and at least one belt-shaped suspension element that partially wraps around the roller on a circumference, with power transmission between the roller and belt-shaped suspension element at least essentially non-positively.
- Traction drives are predominantly used as drive systems in elevator technology.
- ropes, composite ropes, but also belts can be used as suspension means, with both flat belts and V-belts or V-ribbed belts or toothed belts being able to be used as belts.
- DE 10 2019 203 727 A1 discloses a conventional elevator system with a profiled suspension belt.
- Elevator systems are known from the prior art, which comprise an elevator car and a counterweight, which can be moved in opposite directions in an elevator shaft.
- the counterweight is significantly heavier than the empty cabin, but correspondingly lighter than the full cabin.
- the elevator system has at least one drive, each with at least one drive roller or drive shaft, which carry the elevator car and the counterweight via one or more belts and/or can transfer the required drive forces to them.
- the required drive power is transmitted via friction from the drive roller to the suspension element.
- the elevator car and the counterweight can be coupled to the drive via separate belts in such a way that the counterweight rises when the elevator car is lowered and vice versa.
- the power transmission between the roller and the suspension element in the longitudinal direction of the suspension element or in the circumferential direction of the roller is constantly the same, regardless of the direction of movement.
- the empty car can be pulled into the end stop by the counterweight when the drive is at a standstill. This can lead to a malfunction in the elevator system or, in the worst case, to personal injury during a maintenance trip by a person on the car roof. If the coefficient of friction between the roller and the suspension element is too high, there is a risk that excessive braking forces may occur when driving downhill in the event of an emergency stop. An abrupt stop of the cabin can lead to an increased risk of injury to passengers. Furthermore, if the coefficient of friction is too high, the risk of noise development increases.
- the invention is therefore based on the object of providing a drive system, in particular for applications in elevator technology, in order to reduce the previously described disadvantageous effects of the coefficient of friction between the roller and the suspension element.
- Claim 10 discloses an elevator system with a drive system according to the invention.
- Claim 11 discloses a suspension means for use in a drive system according to the invention.
- Claim 12 discloses a roller for use in a drive system according to the invention.
- the drive system according to the invention disclosed in claim 1 is particularly suitable for use in elevator systems and has at least one roller rotatably mounted in a first direction and in a second direction and at least one belt-shaped suspension element that partially wraps around the roller on a circumference.
- a power transmission between the roller and the belt-shaped suspension element takes place at least essentially in a non-positive manner.
- the roller and/or the belt-shaped suspension element has a structured surface, so that the power transmission between the suspension element and the roller in the first direction is greater than the power transmission between the suspension element and the roller in the second direction, or vice versa.
- an essentially non-positive force transmission takes place.
- the first direction or the second direction can each correspond to an upward or downward movement of an elevator car.
- the roller for non-positive transmission can have a profile that essentially corresponds to the profile of the at least one surface of the belt.
- the roller therefore has a groove profile which essentially corresponds to the negative profiling of the ribbed V-belt, in which the ribbed V-belt is guided laterally.
- So-called back rollers which are in contact with the non-profiled surface of the suspension opposite the surface of the suspension that is provided with a profile, and are designed to deflect and guide it, can also be designed without a profile.
- the magnitude of the forces that can be transmitted in a non-positive manner is dependent on the coefficient of friction between the suspension element and the roller, which essentially depends on the materials selected for the suspension element and the roller, as well as the surface that is in contact with one another for force transmission.
- the roller can be made of a metallic material, while the belt-shaped suspension means can be made of a polyurethane with reinforcements embedded therein. By simply structuring the surface of the suspension element, the power transmission capability between the roller and the suspension element can be increased by increasing the force-transmitting surface.
- additional force can be transmitted through positive locking by structuring the surface of the roller or the roller and the belt-shaped suspension element, in that there is a form-locking toothing between the belt-shaped suspension element and the roller.
- the shape of the surface structure is preferably chosen in such a way that the force is transmitted essentially in a non-positive manner.
- Various drive belts which are designed for non-positive power transmission, can be understood as band-shaped suspension means.
- Examples include flat, V-belts or V-ribbed belts. These can have an elastic material, for example an elastomer or a polyurethane, with reinforcements embedded therein.
- the drive can be reversing, which means that the direction of the drive changes regularly between lifting and lowering movements.
- a direction-dependent, also known as anisotropic surface structuring means that the power transmission between the suspension element and the roller in the first direction can be greater than the power transmission between the suspension element and the roller in the second direction.
- the first direction can be the upward movement of the car.
- the second direction can represent the lowering movement of the car when the drive is at a standstill.
- at least 10%, preferably even more than 20% higher forces can be transmitted between the belt-shaped suspension element and the roller when the drive is stationary in the upward direction than in the downward direction. In this way it can be avoided in a particularly advantageous manner that an empty car is pushed up into the end stop by the counterweight can be pulled or the cab comes to an abrupt stop during an emergency stop.
- the surface has a lamellar structure aligned essentially transversely to a circumferential direction.
- An additional force can thus be transmitted in an advantageous manner without a lateral force component being able to cause the suspension element to run off the roller to the side.
- the direction of the gradient or the direction of the inclination of the slats can result in direction-dependent power transmission, so that the power transmission between suspension element and roller in the first direction is greater than the power transmission between suspension element and roller in the second direction.
- the flexible lamellae can be flattened in one direction and erected in another direction.
- Straightening the slats of the suspension element can, especially if the surface of the roller is structured at the same time, cause mechanical gripping between the suspension element and the roller and thus higher power transmission.
- the same working principle of a mechanical clawing of the lamellar structure in one running direction can take place with a profiled surface of the roller, in that the lamellae of the roller made of a harder material can press into the material of the suspension element with a lower hardness.
- the lamellar structure is arranged at an angle of between 45° and 90° transversely to the circumferential direction. As the angle decreases, the transverse forces acting on the band-shaped suspension element increase, while the acoustic properties can be improved. Depending on the size of the forces to be transmitted, a helix angle can be selected that offers the best compromise between a tolerable lateral force and optimization of the acoustic properties.
- the lamellar structure extends in an arc.
- the arched structure can extend over the entire width of the surface of the roller and/or the belt-shaped suspension element.
- the surface structure can also be arranged multiple times across the width as a scale-like structure. The scales can be round, semi-round or square.
- At least 20% of a width of the roller and the belt-shaped suspension element or the roller or the belt-shaped suspension element has the structure. At least 20% of the contact surface between the roller and the suspension element wrapped around it can preferably be structured.
- the structure on the surface in the contact area between the roller and the suspension element is repeated several times, preferably at least ten times, on an arc of wrap of 180° around the roller.
- the belt-shaped suspension element is designed as a traction belt made from polymeric material. All traction belts that essentially work in a non-positive manner, such as flat belts, V-belts or V-ribbed belts, can be used here. Depending on the requirements, an advantageous selection can be made from a large number of different traction belts.
- the suspension means is designed as a composite rope, in which parallel individual ropes with a first diameter are each sheathed with a layer of polymeric material of a predetermined thickness to form tension members, each with an overall diameter, and the tension members are sheathed by a polymeric connector layer on one side are connected to each other substantially over their entire length and the tension members engage in corresponding grooves of the surface of the roller, the polymeric connector layer being arranged on the side of the tension members which is remote from the side engaging in the grooves of the roller.
- the tension members are designed to engage the grooves of the traction sheave by at least 25% of their overall diameter. This design is found to be particularly advantageous for applications in elevator technology, since high forces can be transmitted while at the same time requiring little installation space.
- a further advantageous embodiment of the present invention consists in an elevator system with a drive system according to the invention. In this way, the previously explained advantages of the drive system can be transferred to an elevator system.
