Definitions

  • the invention consists of flotation means for the correct wedging of a safety device for lifts specially designed to be situated between the guide and the cabin making best use of space requirements.
  • the flotation means consist mainly of the use of a set of horizontal grooves which enable the correct positioning of the friction wedge laterally displacing the main body of the safety device.
  • the safety device which uses these flotation means comprises a body which is able to absorb completely the forces deriving from the wedging at the moment of detention.
  • This wedging also has seating means specially designed to ensure that the wedge is correctly supported at all times.
  • Safety devices for lifts act in the event of emergency when the lift cabin exceeds the upward or downward pre-established speed.
  • an emergency braking mechanism acts to stop the lift cabin.
  • the invention which is described herein resolves the aforementioned disadvantages associated with floatability of the body of the safety device, without increasing the dimension and the weight thereof due to the need to include the rivet and the supports joined to said rivet, and in this way it is possible to place it at the cabin level thus freeing up space beneath the cabin.
  • the present invention refers to flotation means for the correct wedging of a safety device for lifts specially designed to situate the safety device between the guide and the cabin, making the most of space requirements.
  • the safety device presents a traction element which is blocked when over-acceleration occurs, both in an upward direction and a downward direction of the lift cabin.
  • This lateral displacement produces a compression in one or various elastic elements situated on the opposite side of the guide and a displacement of one or various friction blocks interlocked to the body of the safety device situated on that side against the guide, producing as a result contact of the friction blocks with the guide and therefore the lift cabin is halted.
  • the floatability of the body of the safety device is achieved initially with the presence of horizontal grooves situated in the fastenings of a support plate interlocked to the resistant structure of the cabin to which the body of the safety device is anchored by means of bolts which are designed to absorb the forces of the vertical braking.
  • the main body of the safety device consists of a "C" whose cavity passes through the guide on which the wedging is to be applied.
  • this main body in "C” form there are friction blocks linked through the elastic means and on the other side the friction wedge is located joined to a traction element such as a cable, a rod or similar.
  • the friction wedge moves along an obliquely supported seating and is guided by a grooving which is also oblique according to the seating which has sliding pins.
  • the oblique grooving has two widths so that it is possible to vary the type of seating of the pins interlocked to the wedge depending on the position in which those follower pins are fixed, in the first section narrow, or in the second wide.
  • the narrow section does not allow any play of the pin in the direction transversal to the oblique grooving whereas the wide section does.
  • the means of seating of the friction wedge is modified as the movement in the direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the oblique grooving is not restricted. That is, the friction wedge is not restricted by the oblique grooving ensuring that the support contact with its seating is correct and is not conditioned by the restraints which would be imposed by the pins.
  • the force of the braking with which the wedge acts is regulated by a bolt which sets the distance in the horizontal between the friction wedge and the lift guide.
  • the invention refers to flotation means for the correct wedging of a safety device
  • the safety device has a main body in the form of a "C" the cavity of which passes through the lift guide, with a friction wedge on one side of the guide, and on the other side one or various friction blocks linked by elastic means to the main safety device body designed to absorb the forces of reaction by the support of the friction wedge with the guide for retention by wedging
  • the flotation means are characterised in that they consist of horizontal grooves present in a support plate interlocked to the resistant structure of the cabin to which the main body of the safety device is attached by means of bolts which are designed to absorb the forces of the vertical braking.
  • Figure 1 shows a perspective view of the back of the first example of an embodiment of the invention of the flotation means for a safety device situated on its back wall. The same view shows the axis indicating the direction along which the guide extends.
  • Figure 2 shows a perspective view of the upper front part of the same embodiment of the invention for flotation means for a safety device situated on its back wall where only part of the lift guide is seen in order to note the wedge and the friction blocks.
  • Figure 3 shows a view of the elevation of the same example of an embodiment of the invention of the safety device flotation means where the safety device wedging is shown.
  • the present invention refers to flotation means for the correct wedging of a safety device for lifts
  • the safety device which makes use of said flotation means comprises a body (1) with a traction element (2) joined to a friction wedge (3).
  • the friction wedge is joined to the traction element (2) through attachment to the upper body (1) of the safety device.
  • one or various friction blocks (5) situated in the body of the safety device (1) on the opposite side of the lift guide (4) are displaced towards said guide (4), thus stopping the lift cabin by retention.
  • the friction blocks (5) are linked to elastic means (6) which work under compression which in this preferred example of the embodiment are Belleville washers, so that the safety device body (1) is crushed during the wedging.
  • the guide (4) fits to some extent with the wedge (3) and the friction blocks (5) so that the safety device body (1) does not interfere with said guide (4).
  • Flotation of the safety device body is implemented by means of horizontal grooves (7.1) on the support plate(7) interlocked to the resistant structure of the lift cabin where the safety device body (1) is attached by means of bolts (8) designed to absorb the forces of the vertical braking.
  • the support plate (7) is situated between the wall (1.1) of the safety device body (1) opposed to the guide (4) which hereinafter shall be termed back wall, and the bolts (8) fixed on that wall (1.1) to the safety device body (1.
  • the plate (7) support comprises four bolts (8) located in the respective horizontal grooves (7.1) arranged in twos on top of each other so that with this arrangement the bolts (8) are able to support the forces of the torsion generated during braking.
  • An oblique grooving (1.2) is interlocked to the safety device body (1) with at least one narrow section (1.2.1) and a wide section (1.2.2), through which run two follower pins (3.1) interlocked to the friction wedge (3).
  • the force of the braking associated with the degree of vertical advance of the friction wedge (3) is regulated by means of a lower bolt (3.2) and a safety nut (3.3) which blocks the connection in order to control the permitted advance of the friction wedge (3) when the traction element (2) is blocked.
  • the friction wedge is jointed to the traction element (2) through an attachment in the lower part of the safety device body (1)
  • the friction wedge (3) wedged towards the lower part of the safety device is placed in the body of the safety device (1) in an arrangement symmetrical to the arrangement of the friction wedge (3) in the first example of the preferred embodiment with respect to a horizontal plane, that is, with an oblique plane so that when the lift cabin over-accelerates in an upward direction the traction element (2) is blocked so that the body of the safety device (1) continues to move obliging the friction wedge (3) to displace relatively with respect to the element sliding on the seating comprising a linear needle bearing (9) in an oblique arrangement in order to wedge against the lift cabin guide (4).
  • the friction wedge is joined to the traction element (2) through two attachments situated respectively in the lower and upper parts of the safety device body (1).
  • the friction wedge (3) wedged towards the upper and lower part of the safety device presents two inclined planes antagonistic to two bases comprising two linear needle bearings (9) also arranged obliquely in order to wedge the lift cabin guide (4) when the lift cabin over-accelerates either in an upwards or downwards direction.
