Description

METHOD FOR MOUNTING AN ELEVATOR BY A COLUMN

  MODULAR CARRIER TECHNIQUE AND ELEVATOR OBTAINED.

  The invention relates to a mounting method

of elevator and the elevator obtained.

  It is known that mounting an elevator within a building generally requires equipping the elevator shaft with its various elements, cabin guide rails and counterweights in particular, which are fixed and adjusted integrally to the structural elements of the building Such an assembly requires adjustment time

on important site.

  The invention aims to remedy this drawback and proposes a new method for mounting an elevator, characterized in that it involves a technical support column, which consists of unitary column elements connected to one another vertically, successively from the lower element planted in position, said unit elements comprising the elements of equipment of the elevator, such as cabin guides, counterweight guides, end of travel safety elements, these elements of equipment being prepositioned on each of said unit elements and fitting properly when mounting the unit elements one on the other to form a pre-equipped functional unit, the elevator car being slidably mounted on its guides by one of the faces of the

column formed.

  Thanks to this process using a supporting column, the equipment elements are self-adjusting by simply fitting one unitary column element to the other during their assembly. The assembly of the elevator is thus obtained easily and quickly independently of the

  structure or building that it must serve.

  Furthermore, due to the lateral location of the cabin on the column, the latter may have several service openings, arranged indifferently

on the available sides.

  This method advantageously applies to mounting from the outside to produce a panoramic elevator adjoining the building, whether or not in connection with a pylon capable of supporting other elements such as a fire escape. The invention also relates to the elevator obtained

using the above process.

  The unitary column elements are preferably identical to each other and their length is equal to the

  height between two storey landings.

  Each of these unitary column elements is advantageously constituted by a straight U-shaped section, the equipment elements being fixed inside the profile and the cabin being mounted on the

opening face.

  The cabin can also be fixed on a sliding plate mounted on the cabin rails so that this intermediate element allows interchangeability

  easy from cab as needed.

  The invention is illustrated below with the aid of exemplary embodiments and with reference to the appended drawings in which: FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the assembled support column (without the cabin), FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a column element, FIG. 3 is a cross-section view of a column element, FIGS. 4 to 7 show in cross-sections various suspension systems suitable for the elevator according to the invention, Figures 8 and 9 are cross-sectional views showing a cabin with several service faces, and Figure 10 is a cross-sectional view

showing the addition of a pylon.

  As shown in Figures 1 to 3, the elevator

  according to the invention is obtained from a self-contained column

  carrier 1 located in the elevator hopper or outside in the case of a panoramic elevator adjoining the building, and along which is carried the passenger transport cabin This column results from the assembly of unitary elements identical to column 3 (Figures 2 and 3) The first element is installed vertically integral with the ground or the support bottom surface and the other elements are successively fitted one on the other until the

  desired height corresponding to the stroke of the cabin.

  They are fixed to each other in a conventional manner, for example by bolting, to form a rigid assembly and

vertical carrier of the cabin.

  Each of the column elements is formed from a rigid profile, for example metallic, rectilinear and of U-shaped section. The elements of equipment or cabin guides 5, counterweight guides 7 and end elements of

  safety stroke 9 are fixed inside.

  These elements are pre-positioned in the factory and come in continuity with each other without further adjustment to the mounting of the column elements. The formed column therefore includes the equipment elements correctly positioned for the operation of the elevator, without having to build on any support

  auxiliary, such as the elevator shaft.

  The geometric positioning of these elements, specified below, is judiciously organized inside the profile. The two cabin guides 5 are arranged symmetrically relative to the median longitudinal plane of the column on each of the opposite parallel faces 11 of the U. guides cooperate with a

  movable vertical plate 13 provided with guide slides.

  This tray is arranged parallel to the bottom face 15 of the U and virtually closes the opening face of the U along its length. The passenger cabin is fixed to this tray which may possibly constitute the rear wall of the latter. race 9

  are fixed near the guides 5 at the height of each bearing.

  The other pieces of equipment are arranged in the space between the travel plane of the plate and the rear rear face of the column. There is thus to the left of the median plane the counterweight 17 of essentially flat shape with its opposite lateral guides 7 , in the center the suspension system with its cables 19 and on the right the flexible connection cables 21 The elevator according to the invention can operate either according to the configuration chosen with a traction traction system in direct traction or 1/1 with machine at the top (figure 4) or 1/2 with reeving at the top and machine at the bottom (Figure 5) In the latter case, the return cables

  19 are arranged in the right part of the median plane.

  A lifting system with a hydraulic cylinder 19 'can also be used, either in a direct version for small heights (Figure 6) or in a 2/1 mouflé press with cylinder

on the side (figure 7).

  Due to the lateral adaptation of the cabin to the column and the small overall dimensions of the latter, this elevator mounting concept is advantageously suitable for installation in a panoramic elevator adjoining the building to be served. The cabin 23 may have an opening. 25 service either indifferently in front or on the side (not shown) or several service openings and for example two arranged at right angles (Figure 8) or opposite to each other (Figure 9) to facilitate in particular the release of people We can also mount the elevator with a pylon and for example a pylon around 27 (figure 10) This pylon can include a supporting upright, for example for an emergency staircase and can be dressed for decorative purposes. various decorative products, such as glass, wood, sheet metal

  fixing etc in harmony with the cabin.

  The invention thus provides, by the concept of modular pre-equipped support column, easy and rapid assembly of the elevators with advantageous possibilities for

  make panoramic cameras.
