of an elevator system to bring the car to a gradual stop at predetermined points in the travel of the car.
A further object of my invention is the provision of means for stalling the car if the sto'o-motion apparatus becomes deranged.
Other objects will appear hereinafter, the novel combinations of elements being set forth in the claims.
Referring to the drawings, Figures 1 to 3 rep resent the relative position of parts when the car is at its lower limit of travel at the middle of its oath of travel and at its upper limit of travel, respectively. Fig. 4 is a sectional view of the stop-motion valve in ele vation, taken from the opposite side to that shown in Fig. 2. Fig. 5 is an end view of said stop-motion valve and the pilot-valve connected thereto, and Fig. 6 is a sectional elevationo'f the main-valve mechanism as well as the stop-motion-valve mechanism,
and shows how the car can be started after.
having been stopped by the automatic operation of the stop-motion valve.
In Figs. 1, 2, and 3, 1 designates the elevator-car, which is supported by the plunger 2. This plunger moves vertically in the plunger casing or cylinder 3 and is controlled in its movements by the valve mechanisms illustrated in detail in Fig. 6.
In Figs 1, 2, and 3 I have shown in eleva tion a stop-motion valve 4 and a pilot-valve 6 for controlling the same. These valves are illustrated in detail in Figs. 4 and 6. 7 designates the supply-port, and 8 the exhaustport, while 5 is the pipe connecting the stop motion valve 4 from its central portion to the upper end of the plunger-casing 3. Pivoted to the outer end of the valve-stem 9 is a lever 12, pivotally connected at one end to link 10 and at its other end to the standing rope or cable 13. The link 10 is pivotally connected to the outer end of the pilot-valve stem 14 (see Fig. 4) and is guided in its to-and-fro movements by the slotted guide-plate 15, which is shown bolted to the head 16 of the valvechest 17 of the stop-motion valve 4. Arranged in the elevator-well so as to be continuously deflected during the movement of the car is the endless rope 13. This rope is for the purpose of operating the pilot-valve 6, and thereby control the operation of the stop-valve 4, to stop the car at the upper and lower limits of its travel. In order to accomplish this purpose, the rope is passed over sheaves, both stationary and movable, and connected at the point 18 to the operatinglever 12 and at the ring 19 to the adjustable weight 20 at the top of the hatchway or elevator-well. At the extreme top and at the extremebottom are journaled the sheaves 25 and 26 on the fixed standards 23 and 24, re-
spectively. Intermediate these sheaves 25 I and 26 are the guide- pulleys 21 and 22, journaled in fixed bearings. The pulley 22 and sheave 24 are arranged in the same plane with all the other pulleys and in such position that the portion of the rope 13 between the pulley 22 and sheave 26 shall always be substantially vertical and at right angles to the lever 12 when the stop-motion valve is in its central position. The pulley 21 is mounted a short distance to the left of a vertical line drawn through the axis of the sheave 25. Rotatably mounted at the upper left-hand and lower right-hand portions of the car are the deflection- pulleys 27 and 28, which as the car moves constantly tend to change the position of said rope relatively to the stop-motion-valve mechanism. It will be seen that since the ends of the rope 13 are connected to the weight 20 it is practically an endless rope and that as the car approaches the lower limit of its travel the lower portion of said rope is moved in an anticlockwise direction. This can be seen upon an inspection of Figs. 1 and 2, for on the movement of the car from its position in Fig. 2 to its position in Fig. 1 the pulley 27 gradually decreases the angular deflection of the left-hand portion of the rope 13 and increases the angular deflection of the right-hand portion thereof. The length of the rope on the left-hand side between the 1 time for the fluid to be forced from above the ring 19 and the sheave 26 is shortened and the length on the right-handside correspondingly increased. The weight 20 is shown a little lower in Fig. 2 than in Fig. 1, since the rope considered as double is lengthened out when the car is in an intermediate position. The weight 20 not only keeps the rope taut at all times, thus acting as a take-up device, but also coacts with the deflection-pulleys to cause the actuation of the lever 12, the weight 20 being sufficiently heavy to overcome the resistance to movement of said lever when the rope is deflected by movement of the car. In other words, the weight is substantially a variable fixed point from which a ull or stress is exerted along the rope by t e deflection-pulleys on the car to reciprocate the lower portion of the rope, and consequently cause the actuation of the pilot-valve, which controls the stop-motion valve to stop the car or to allow it to be red started.
Referring now to Fig. 4 in particular, I will describe the operation of the pilot-valve and stop-1notion valve in connection with the positions shown in Figs. 1, 2, and 3. Assuming the car in its middle position, as shown in Fig 2, the stop-motion valve and pilot-valve will be in their central positions. The passage 33 from the upper portion of the valve-chest 17 is closed from the supply-port 7 by means of the valve 29, and the valve closes the communication between the exhaust-port 8 and the passage 34, leading from the lower portion of the valve-chest 17 to the pilot-valve 6. To the pilot-valve stem 14 are connected the balancing- pistons 38 and 42 and the valves 39, 40, and 41. The heads 16 and 31 are shown provided with holes 46. If the car is allowed to descend, the deflection- pulleys 27 and 28 will cause the operating-lever 12 to be gradually moved upwardly about the pivot 44 upon the approach of the car to its lower limit of travel. The pilot-valve stem 14 will therefore be moved downwardly to open communication between the supply-port and the chamber below the valve 30, through the pilot-valve cylinder between the valves 41 and 40, through the series of circular holes in said lining, and thence through the passageway 34in the valve-chest 17. Furthermore, communication between the chamber above the valve 29 and. the pilot exhaust-port 36 is established through the cylinder 45 between the valves 39 and 40, through the circular series of holes in the lining, and thence through the passage-way 33. It will therefore be seen that when the pilot-valve stem is moved downwardly, as shown in Fig. 1, pressure is exerted by the fluid below the valve 30 to move the same upwardly, and this is permitted by the exhaust having been opened to the space above the valve 29. Since the exhaust-port is a small one, it will take some valve 29, and therefore the valve 30 can move only slowly to close the exhaust-port 8. The automatic stopping of the car will bea gradual stopping, since the valve 30 must move slowly and will therefore gradually close communication between the exhaustport 8 and the -plunger-cylinder 3 throughthe pipe 5.
It will be noticed that the supply-port 7 is left open to the pipe 5, so that the operator in the car can start the car again by the operation of the main-valve mechanism. Upon the car starting upwardly the lever 12 is again moved by the rope 13, but this time to move the pilot-valves in the opposite direction and past their central positions. This causes the valves 29 and 30 to come back to normal position, and in doing so the pilotvalves are automatically moved to central position by the valve-stem 9 acting on the lever 12 with the connection 18 as a fulcrum. The car may now be stopped and started to cause the same to move up or down from intermediate points.
Upon the car approaching the upper limit of its travel the operation of the stop-motion valve mechanism will be reversed, the relation of the parts being such that the car will be gradually and automatically stopped, said parts being so arranged that the operator may start the car downwardly again and control its intermediate travel the same as before,
In the event of a rope breaking the car would in nearly all cases be stalled at one of the limits of its travel. For instance, if the rope to the right in Fig. 1 should break the weight 20 would pull on the portion of the rope left intact and move the lever 12 downwardly. This would cause the stop-motion valve to cut off the supply and the elevator could not be started up again. If the rope at the left is broken, the car can be moved to its upper limit; but it would be stalled at that point. If the ropes break at all, the breakage would probably occur at the upper or lower limit of travel of the car, because at these points the ropes are under the greatest stress. Only in case both the ropes break, leaving the stop-motion valve in central position, would the stopping of the car depend entirely on the main-valve operating mechanism. This would probably never occur, as the car would then be in an intermediate position when the stresson the rope is at a minimum. It is therefore seen that my arrangement of operating the stop motion mechanism is also a safety device in that it insures its proper operation and is always under automatic test. Furthermore, upon the operating-ropes becoming deranged notice is given by the stalling of the car, thus preventing the car from being operated when the stop-motion mechanism is not in operative condition.
Referring now to Fig. 6, it will be explained how the car can be controlled when a mainvalve mechanism is used in connection with stop motion valve mechanism. 69 designates in general the main-valve-controlling mechanism, which comprises a pilot-valve 70 and a throttling-valve 68, substantially the same as that disclosed in the patent to Cole, No. 700,740,May27, 1902, forhydraulicvalve mechanism. 47 designates the operatingrope, which is arranged to be actuated from the car 1 by means of the usual operatinglever 46. This rope is directed by the pulleys 50 and 51 at the bottom of the elevatorwell, so as to maintain the portion connected at 67 to the lever 66 in vertical position. The lever 66 is pivoted at to the bracket 62, which is mounted rigidly on the valve-chest 52. 48 is the supply-inlet, and 49 the discharge-outlet. The supply-inlet 7 of the stop-motion valve communicates with the opening 7 in the main-valve chest 52 through the pipe 71. The pipe 72 similarly connects the discharge or exhaust openin s 8 and 8. Comparatively small pipes 73 an 74 connect the supply and exhaust openings of the stopmotion pilot-valve with the main valve at points opposite the main supply-pipe 48 and main exhaustpipe 49, respectively. Rigidly, connected with each other and arranged to move in the valve-casing 52 are the motorpiston 53, balancing-pistons 54 and 64, and controlling-valves 55 and 56. The motorpiston is of larger diameter than the valves, so that the former may always be made to move the valves to proper position.
In the position shown in Fig. 6 the car is atits lower limit of travel, the lever 46 having been moved to allow the car to descend. The rope 13 has been deflected to effect the closin of the exhaustport of the stop-motion va ve. The exhaust-port of the main valve, however, is open. Upon moving the operat ing-lever to the right the pilot-valve is operated to cause the motor-piston 53 to move downward until the valve 56 closes the exhaust-pipe 49 and the communication between the supply- pipes 48 and 7 is entirely open. The elevator-car will thereupon be moved upwardly. In a similar manner when the car is at its upper limit of travel and the valves of the stop-motion mechanism are in their lower position the main'valves may be reversed to allow the car to come down again.
Although I have herein shown my invention applied to a hydraulic-elevator system, I desire it to be understood that it is applicable to other systems and to moving bodies other than an elevator-car. In such case the stop mechanism or stop-controlling device, herein shown as a stop-motion valve, would be changed in any suitable manner by those skilled in the art, such change involving merely mechanical skill. For example, the
Having thus described the best mode of applying the invention which I have at present devised as an illustration of such invention, I wish it to be understood that I do not desire to be limited to the exact details of con struction shown and described, for obvious modifications will occur to a person skilled in the art.
