Definitions

  • the present invention has an application in the industry of elevator apparatuses, and more specifically in the field of access systems for accessing cars of elevator apparatuses, allowing increasing the efficiency of the space occupied by the elevator apparatus, particularly allowing increasing the free surface of the floor of a car of the elevator apparatus, allowing the use of said free surface for the occupation and transport of the users and/or loads, likewise allowing improving the safety and ergonomics of the users of the elevator apparatus.
  • the access system for accessing a car of an elevator apparatus comprises at least one car door, each one being arranged for each access or entrance which said car has, and at least two floor doors, at least one floor door being arranged for each story, floor or landing of the building.
  • doors there are currently various types of doors, each of which has its own features.
  • Two types of doors can essentially be distinguished, which are car doors and floor, story or landing doors.
  • manual, semiautomatic and automatic doors are distinguished, semiautomatic door being understood as that in which the car door is automatic and the floor door is manual.
  • the door opening and closing operation system is located in the car door, such that said car door is what acts on the floor door by means of a coupling mechanism, when both the floor and car doors are leveled.
  • Said automatic operation system causing the automatic opening and closing of the doors, comprises mechanisms coupled to an electric motor which is connected to a maneuver control module of the elevator apparatus.
  • the maneuver control module operates the electric motor causing the opening of the car doors and the corresponding floor doors, likewise causing the closing thereof before the car resumes its movement.
  • the currently most used doors are automatic doors with horizontal sliding, also called sliding doors, which are usually formed as telescopic doors comprising a plurality of leaves, usually two leaves per door, which move in one and the same vertical plane, being opposed and stacked, at least partially overlapped, in parallel vertical planes when they are in the open position, as depicted in view B of Figure 1 , the closed position having been depicted in view A.
  • Figure 2 shows a currently existing telescopic door comprising leaves with a cylindrical configuration, the closed position having been depicted in view A and the open position in view B.
  • a second drawback is that the leaves of each door have one or several successive steps, which do not form a single plane, which is inconvenient for the users when occupying the inner space of the car, reduces the space available for the users, decreases the ergonomics thereof and affects the aesthetics of both the elevator and of the floors of the building.
  • the safety regulations in force for the construction and installation of elevators UNE-EN 81-1 establishes maximum operative clearances between said small gaps or grooves of the leaves of the doors.
  • EP-1449802-A1 describes an access system by means of telescopic doors, in which the number of leaves comprised in the car door is different from the number of leaves comprised by the floor door, all of this for the purpose of making flexible and optimizing the floor space of the elevator shaft occupied by the different components of the elevator, such as the car, the counterweight, the car door and the floor doors.
  • a first aspect of the present invention relates to a door for accesses of elevator apparatuses, which allows increasing the efficiency of the space occupied by the elevator apparatus, specifically allowing increasing the surface of the floor of a car of the elevator apparatus which is freed up for being occupied, housing and transporting users and/or loads, likewise allowing improving the ergonomics and the safety conditions of said users.
  • the door for accesses of elevator apparatuses proposed by the invention comprises at least two leaves which are configured to move between a closed position, in which said leaves close an access, either to a car or to a floor, of the elevator apparatus, and an open position, in which said access is at least partially open.
  • the leaves are opposed at their side edges, said side edges being leveled, i.e., flush with one another, such that their faces are extended according to a straight line or a line of constant curvature, being at the same height or level and without there being a step between both leaves.
  • said leaves are opposed and at least partially overlapped at their faces, without having to be in contact at said faces.
  • the invention allows a decrease in the risk of a user experiencing injuries, especially in his or her fingers, given that the door lacks a step between leaves when it is in the closed position and during part of the trajectory of the leaves during the opening and the closing thereof.
  • the door of the invention is extremely versatile, allowing its incorporation in any type of elevator apparatus, in addition to improving the aesthetics and ergonomics thereof due to the absence of a step between the leaves of the doors when they are in the closed position and during most of the movement of the leaves in the opening and closing operations, with the gain of space that this entails.
  • the leaves are substantially planar surfaces and that in the closed position said leaves are substantially located in one and the same plane, i.e., they are coplanar, whereas in the open position said leaves are located in different planes. It is likewise contemplated that in the open position the leaves are located in at least two parallel planes.
  • the leaves are substantially cylindrical surfaces and that in the closed position the leaves are substantially located in a cylindrical surface, whereas in the open position said leaves are located in different cylindrical surfaces, such that their horizontal edges are extended according to a line of constant curvature. It is likewise contemplated that in the open position said leaves are located in at least two substantially equidistant cylindrical surfaces.
  • the leaves are configured to move without relative movement and being laterally connected to one another during a first section of the path between the closed and open positions, said leaves being configured to move with relative movement and being laterally connected to one another during a second section of said path.
  • the leaves are configured to move without relative movement and being laterally connected to one another during an intermediate section located between the first and the second section of said path.
  • the door of the invention comprises guiding means configured to guide the movement of the leaves indistinctly between the closed position and the open position, said guiding means comprising at least one rail comprising a straight section and a non-straight section.
  • a second aspect of the invention relates to an elevator apparatus comprising at least one car comprising at least one car access, said at least one car being arranged to move through an elevator shaft comprising at least two floor accesses located at a different level, such that said elevator apparatus comprises at least one door such as the one described above.
  • a third aspect of the invention relates to a method for operating a door such as the one described above, between a closed position, in which at least two leaves close an access of the elevator apparatus, and an open position, in which said access is at least partially open.
  • the method comprises the following phases:
  • the door for accesses of elevator apparatuses proposed by the invention comprises a car door comprising two leaves (1, 1') configured to move between a closed position, depicted in Figures 3 and 7 , in which the leaves (1, 1') close a car access (2) of the elevator apparatus, and an open position, depicted in Figures 6 and 8 , in which said car access (2) is open.
  • the access of the elevator apparatus comprises a floor door comprising two leaves (1, 1') configured to move between a closed position, in which the leaves (1, 1') close a floor access (3) of the elevator apparatus, and an open position, in which said floor access (3) is open.
  • Figures 3 to 6 show an embodiment of the door of the invention, in which the leaves (1, 1') are planar surfaces which in the closed position are located in one and the same plane, whereas in the open position said leaves (1, 1') are located in two parallel planes.
  • Figures 7 and 8 show an embodiment variant of the door of the invention, in which the leaves (1, 1') are cylindrical surfaces which in the closed position are located in a cylindrical surface, whereas in the open position said leaves (1, 1') are located in two equidistant cylindrical surfaces, such that their horizontal edges are extended according to a line of constant curvature.
  • the leaves (1, 1') of the doors can adopt any other configuration with a shape different from those described above, i.e., planar and cylindrical, within the object of the invention.
  • the leaves (1, 1') of a door are configured to move without relative movement and being laterally connected to one another during a first section of the path between the close and open positions, said leaves (1, 1') being configured to move with relative movement and being laterally disconnected from one another during a second section of said path.
  • the leaves (1, 1') are configured to move without relative movement and being laterally connected to one another during an intermediate section located between the first and second section of said path.
  • the door comprises guiding means, not shown, configured to guide the movement of the leaves (1, 1') indistinctly between the closed position and the open position, said guiding means comprising at least one rail comprising a straight section and a non-straight section, such that the first section of the path of the leaves (1, 1') between the closed position and the open position is comprised in the straight section of the guiding means, whereas the intermediate section of said path corresponds to the non-linear section of said guiding means.
  • the guiding means comprise at least one rail comprising at least two sections with different curvature.
  • the guiding system comprises independent rails for each leaf of one and the same door, the trajectory of each leaf being determined by said rail. It is also contemplated that a part of a rail is common for at least two leaves.
  • each door comprises a driving leaf (1) and a driven leaf (1') configured to be moved by the driving leaf (1) when they are connected, such that the car door is operated jointly in collaboration with the corresponding floor door by means of conventional couplings for elevator doors, said driven leaf (1') being a slave of the driving leaf (1) and being guided in folded profiles of the guiding system, such that upon reaching the end of its path towards the open position, the driven leaf (1') moves away from the trajectory of the driving leaf (1) and both leaves (1, 1') are stacked at their faces (5).
  • connection between the leaves (1, 1') of a door is carried out by means of conventional attachment means available in the state of the art, not shown, configured to laterally connect said leaves (1, 1') to one another during said first section of the path and laterally disconnect said leaves (1, 1') from one another during the second section of the path.
  • a leaf (1, 1') is joined to the other leaf (1, 1') by means of a mechanical mechanism which can consist of a rotating part serving to be able to guide and at the same time attach the driven leaf (1') with respect to the driving leaf (1) in a position whereas once rotated by an operation which releases and disconnects the driven leaf (1') once the first section of the path has ended.
  • the attachment means can consist of electromechanical or electromagnetic elements, for example electromagnets which connect and disconnect the leaves (1, 1') controlled by a control unit.
  • a second aspect of the invention relates to an elevator apparatus comprising a car (6) comprising a car access (2), said car (6) being arranged to move through an elevator shaft (7) comprising at least two floor accesses (3) located at a different level, such that said elevator apparatus comprises a door such as the one described above which is located in said car access (2) and floor accesses (3).
