Description

TECHNISCHES GEBIETTECHNICAL AREA

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Vertikalaufzug mit einer Kabine, die über mindestens ein Zugmittel, das über eine Umlenkeinrichtung läuft, mit einem Gegengewicht verbunden ist, und der einen Antrieb aufweist, der an einer ortsfesten, vertikalen Ablaufbahn aufwärts und abwärts verfahrbar ist.The invention relates to a vertical elevator with a cabin, via at least one traction device, via a deflection device running, connected to a counterweight and that has a drive that is attached to a stationary, vertical trajectory can be moved up and down is.

STAND DER TECHNIKSTATE OF THE ART

Bei bekannten Vertikalaufzügen dieser Art ist der Antrieb mit der Kabine verbunden. Dabei ist es sowohl bekannt, den Antrieb oberhalb der Kabine anzuordnen als auch unter der Kabine. Bei derartigen bekannten Vertikalaufzügen dient das Gegengewicht ausschließlich zur Kompensation des Gewichts von Kabine mit Antrieb. Der Beladungszustand der Kabine kann zwei Extremwerte annehmen: Im ersten Extremfall fährt die Kabine leer, also ohne Nutzlast, im zweiten Extremfall fährt sie mit der maximal zulässigen Nutzlast. Da diese Extremwerte die Verhältnisse sowohl bei Aufwärtsfahrt als auch bei Abwärtsfahrt berücksichtigen mussen, legt man den Vertikalaufzug beispielsweise in der Weise aus, daß das Gegengewicht so schwer ist, wie die leere Kabine mit Antriebsgewicht + 50% Nutzlast, und daß das Gewicht der vollbelasteten Kabine mit Antrieb um 50 % der Nutzlast größer ist als das Gegengewicht. In einem solchen Fall muß der Antriebsmotor nur halb so stark sein wie bei einem 100-%igen Gewichtsausgleich, der dann vorliegt, wenn die leere Kabine so schwer ist wie das Gegengewicht. Bei dieser Betrachtung sind Reibungsverluste und Massenbeschleunigungskräfte nicht berücksichtigt.In known vertical elevators of this type, the drive is connected to the cabin. It is both known that Drive to be arranged above the cabin as well as under the Cabin. In such known vertical elevators, this is used Counterweight only to compensate for the weight from cabin with drive. The loading condition of the cabin can assume two extreme values: In the first extreme case it drives the cabin is empty, i.e. without a payload, in the second extreme case it drives with the maximum permissible payload. Because these extreme values the conditions both when driving upwards must also take into account when driving downhill Vertical lift, for example, in such a way that the counterweight is as heavy as the empty cabin with drive weight + 50% payload, and that the weight of the fully loaded Cabin with drive increased by 50% of the payload is as the counterweight. In such a case, the drive motor be only half as strong as a 100% Weight balance, which is present when the cabin is empty is as heavy as the counterweight. Looking at it are not friction losses and mass acceleration forces considered.

Ein Vertikalaufzug gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1 ist aus der WO 99/43592 bekannt.A vertical elevator according to the preamble of claim 1 is known from the WO 99/43592 known.

DIE ERFINDUNGTHE INVENTION

Ausgehend von dem bekannten Stand der Technik liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Vertikalaufzug der als bekannt vorausgesetzten Art so auszulegen, daß er unter günstigeren Gewichtsbedingungen betrieben werden kann als die üblichen Vertikalaufzüge. Es soll möglich sein, die Leistung der Antriebsmotoren bei gleicher Leistung zu reduzieren.The invention is based on the known prior art the task of a vertical elevator as to interpret the known presupposed type so that it is under more favorable weight conditions can be operated than the usual vertical lifts. It should be possible to To reduce the power of the drive motors with the same power.

Die Lösung dieser Aufgabe erfolgt mit den Merkmalen des Patentanspruchs 1.This object is achieved with the features of the patent claim 1.

Die Ausbildung des Antriebs mindestens als Teil eines Gegengewichts hat den Vorteil, daß nicht mehr derjenige Gewichtsanteil im Gegengewicht kompensiert werden muß, der bisher durch den an der Kabine angebrachten Antrieb gebildet wurde.The formation of the drive at least as part of a counterweight has the advantage that it is no longer the part by weight must be compensated for in the counterweight previously formed by the drive attached to the cabin has been.

BESTER WEG ZUR AUSFÜHRUNG DER ERFINDUNGBEST WAY OF CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

Bei den unterschiedlichen Ausführungsformen sind gleiche oder einander entsprechende Teile jeweils mit gleichen Bezugszeichen versehen. Sie unterscheiden sich im Bedarfsfall lediglich durch Hochstriche voneinander.The different embodiments are the same or corresponding parts with the same reference numerals Mistake. They differ when needed only by hyphens from each other.

Zunächst zur Ausführungsform gemäß Figuren 1 bis 5:First of all to the embodiment according to FIGS. 1 to 5:

Eine Kabine 1 wird über nicht dargestellte Führungseinrichtungen geführt und ist an einem Zugmittel 2a, vorzugsweise einem Seil, aufgehängt. Das Zugmittel 2a läuft über eine Umlenkeinrichtung 2, beispielsweise eine Seilscheibe. Auf der der Kabine 1 gegenüberliegenden Seite ist das Zugmittel mit dem insgesamt mit 3 bezeichneten Antrieb verbunden.A cabin 1 is above guide devices, not shown guided and is on a traction means 2a, preferably a rope, hung up. The traction means 2a runs over a Deflection device 2, for example a pulley. On the side opposite the cabin 1 is the traction means connected to the drive designated overall by 3.

Der Antrieb 3 wirkt mit einer Ablaufbahn zusammen, die durch zwei zueinander parallel und vertikal angeordnete Profilschienen 4 und 5 gebildet wird.The drive 3 interacts with a runway that by two parallel and vertically arranged Profile rails 4 and 5 is formed.

Der Antrieb erfolgt bei der ersten Ausführungsform mittels eines elektrischen Antriebsmotors 6, dem auf zwei Abtriebsseiten jeweils ein Getriebe 7 und 8 nachgeschaltet ist. Das Getriebe 7 treibt eine Antriebswelle 9 an, mit deren Enden die Antriebsräder 12a und 12b drehfest verbunden sind. Das Getriebe 8 treibt eine Antriebswelle 10 an, an deren Enden die Antriebsräder 14a und 14b drehfest angeordnet sind. Die angetriebenen Wellen 9 und 10 sind in zwei seitlich beabstandeten Rahmenelementen 18 gelagert. Das Rahmenelement 18 ist über Parallelogrammlenker 17a und 18a mit jeweils einem weiteren Rahmenelement 17 verbunden. In den beidseitig angeordneten Rahmenelementen 17 sind Wellen 15 und 16 frei drehbar und nicht angetrieben gelagert, die an ihren Enden Gegenräder 11a und 11b bzw. 13a und 13b tragen.In the first embodiment, the drive takes place by means of of an electric drive motor 6, which on two output sides a transmission 7 and 8 connected downstream is. The gear 7 drives a drive shaft 9, with the Ends of the drive wheels 12a and 12b rotatably connected are. The transmission 8 drives a drive shaft 10 the ends of which drive wheels 14a and 14b are arranged in a rotationally fixed manner are. The driven shafts 9 and 10 are in two laterally spaced frame members 18 stored. The Frame element 18 is via parallelogram links 17a and 18a each connected to a further frame element 17. In the frame elements 17 arranged on both sides are waves 15 and 16 freely rotatable and not driven, the wear mating wheels 11a and 11b or 13a and 13b at their ends.

Das Zugmittel 2a greift an den beiden Rahmenelementen 17 an. Unter dem Gewicht des Antriebs 3 führt dieser Angriff in Verbindung mit den Parallelogrammlenkern 17a und 18a zu einer Verspreizung von Antriebsrädern und Gegenrädern in den beiden Profilschienen 4 und 5, so daß ein rutschfester Antrieb gewährleistet ist. Die Rahmenelemente 18, die die Antriebswellen 10 und 9 lagern, sind über Querholme 19a und 19b zu einem Rahmen verbunden, der Gegengewichte 19 trägt.The traction means 2 a engages the two frame elements 17 on. Under the weight of the drive 3, this attack leads in connection with the parallelogram links 17a and 18a a spreading of drive wheels and counter wheels in the two rails 4 and 5, so that a non-slip Drive is guaranteed. The frame elements 18, the Bearing drive shafts 10 and 9 are via cross bars 19a and 19b connected to a frame which carries counterweights 19.

Die Ausführungsform gemäß Figur 6 unterscheidet sich von der ersten Ausführungsform durch die Anordnung eines jeweils getrennten Antriebsmotors 6a mit Getriebe 7a für die Antriebswelle 9 und des Antriebsmotors 6b mit Getriebe 8a für die Antriebswelle 10.The embodiment according to FIG. 6 differs from the first embodiment by the arrangement of each separate drive motor 6a with gear 7a for Drive shaft 9 and the drive motor 6b with gear 8a for the drive shaft 10.

In der dritten Ausführungsform sind ebenfalls zwei getrennte Antriebsmotoren 6a' und 6b' mit zugehörigen, nachgeschalteten Getrieben 7a' bzw. 8a' vorgesehen, welche die Antriebswellen 9 und 10 drehen. Bei dieser Ausführungsform ist eine Spannfeder 20 vorgesehen, mit der ein Spielausgleich vorgenommen wird. In the third embodiment, there are also two separate ones Drive motors 6a 'and 6b' with associated, downstream Gear 7a 'and 8a' provided, which the Turn drive shafts 9 and 10. In this embodiment a tension spring 20 is provided with which a play compensation is made.

Die beiden angetriebenen Wellen 9 und 10 sind bei dieser Ausführungsform in Rahmenelementen 18' gelagert, welche sich von den Rahmenelementen der beiden anderen Ausführungsformen dadurch unterscheiden, daß die Abstände der angetriebenen Wellen 9 und 10 hier nicht fest sind. Bei dieser Ausführungsform ist die Welle 9 ortsfest gelagert, während die Welle 10 über entsprechende längsverschiebliche Lagerbereiche des Rahmenelements 18' ortsbeweglich in Längsrichtung der Profilschienen 4 und 5 geführt ist.The two driven shafts 9 and 10 are in this Embodiment stored in frame elements 18 ', which different from the frame elements of the two other embodiments differ in that the distances of the driven Waves 9 and 10 are not fixed here. At this Embodiment, the shaft 9 is mounted stationary while the shaft 10 via corresponding longitudinally displaceable Storage areas of the frame member 18 'movable in Longitudinal direction of the rails 4 and 5 is guided.

Die nicht angetriebenen Wellen 15 und 16 sind in beidseits angeordneten Rahmenelementen 17' gelagert. Der Abstand der nicht angetriebenen Wellen 16 und 15 ist unveränderlich.The undriven shafts 15 and 16 are on both sides arranged frame elements 17 'mounted. The distance of the undriven shafts 16 and 15 cannot be changed.

Die nicht angetriebene Welle 15 ist mit der angetriebenen Welle 9 über zwei Lenker 23 verbunden. Die beiden Rahmenelemente 17' und 18' werden über Federn 21 und 22, die als Tellerfederpackete ausgebildet sind, auseinandergepreßt. Die Federkraft kann leicht so gewählt werden, daß die Anpreßkraft der Rader an die Laufflächen der Profilschienen für einen einwandfreien kraftschlüssigen Antrieb ausreicht.The non-driven shaft 15 is driven Shaft 9 connected via two link 23. The two frame elements 17 'and 18' are via springs 21 and 22, which as Disc spring packs are formed, pressed apart. The spring force can easily be chosen so that the contact pressure the wheel to the tread of the profile rails sufficient for a perfect non-positive drive.

Das Zugelement ist bei dieser Ausführungsform am Querholm 19a' des Rahmens befestigt, der die Gegengewichte 19' trägt.The tension element is in this embodiment on the cross member 19a 'of the frame attached to the counterweights 19' wearing.

Zur Drehmomentabstützung sind die Antriebseinheiten über einen Stützanker 24 miteinander verbunden. Der Stützanker 24 ist fest mit dem Getriebe 7a' verbunden und erstreckt sich in einen Bereich, der mit dem Getriebegehäuse des Getriebes 8a' verbunden ist. In diesem Bereich ist der Stützanker 24 in Längsrichtung verschieblich geführt. The drive units are over for torque support a support anchor 24 connected to each other. The support anchor 24 is fixedly connected to the transmission 7a 'and extends in an area that is connected to the gearbox of the gearbox 8a 'is connected. The support anchor is in this area 24 slidably guided in the longitudinal direction.

Eine als Feder ausgebildete Spannvorrichtung liegt einerseits an einem Querholm 19c des die Gegengewichte 19' tragenden Rahmens an und andererseits an einem Bereich des längsverschieblich geführten Getriebes 8a'. Die Feder 20 verspannt das Getriebe 8a' gegenüber dem die Gegengewichte 19' tragenden Rahmen und dies fuhrt zu einem Spielausgleich der Antriebe.A tensioning device designed as a spring lies on the one hand on a cross member 19c of the counterweights 19 ' Frame on the other hand in an area of the longitudinally displaceable gear 8a '. The spring 20 braced the gear 8a 'against the counterweights 19 'supporting frame and this leads to a game compensation of the drives.
