Description

Technisches GebietTechnical area

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Vorrichtung zum Heben von Lasten mit einer entlang einer Vertikalführung verlagerbaren Liftkabine, welche über vier an jeweils einem Lastaufnahmepunkt der Liftkabine befestigte Zugmittel mit Gegengewichten verbunden ist, wobei die Zugmittel zum Verlagern der Liftkabine und der Gegengewichte über je eine Antriebsrolle mit einem Antrieb antriebsverbunden sind.The invention relates to a device for lifting loads with a lift cabin that can be displaced along a vertical guide and is connected to counterweights via four traction means, each attached to a load-bearing point of the lift cabin, wherein the traction means for displacing the lift cabin and the counterweights are each connected to a drive via a drive roller.

Stand der TechnikState of the art

Aus der WO2016109158A1 ist eine Vorrichtung zum Heben von Lasten bekannt. Die Vorrichtung weist eine Liftkabine auf, wobei vier Zugmittel an jeweils einem Lastaufnahmepunkt der Liftkabine ansetzen. Jedes der einerends mit der Liftkabine verbundenen Zugmittel ist über eine drehangetriebene Antriebsrolle geführt und anderends mit einem Gegengewicht verbunden. Mit Hilfe eines den Antriebsrollen zugeordnetes Antriebs kann die Liftkabine entlang einer Vertikalrichtung verlagert werden. Um ein gleichmäßiges Anheben und Absenken der Liftkabine während des Gebrauchs zu gewährleisten, ist ein Sensor vorgesehen, der die Kipplage der Liftkabine detektiert und die den Antriebsrollen zugeordneten Antriebe zum Lageausgleich ansteuert. Vor allem bei variierenden Lastverteilungen in der Liftkabine bedeutet dies einen hohen Regelaufwand, der darüber hinaus von der Funktionstüchtigkeit des Sensors abhängig ist, sodass eine regelmäßige Wartung der Sensorik unbedingt erforderlich ist. Hinzu kommt das Problem, dass vor allem bei ungleichmäßiger Lastverteilung von hohen Lasten innerhalb der Liftkabine die Antriebe stark unterschiedlichen Belastungen ausgesetzt sind und in Abhängigkeit deren Belastungsprofilen stark unterschiedliche Standzeiten aufweisen.From the WO2016109158A1 a device for lifting loads is known. The device has a lift cabin, with four traction devices each attached to a load-bearing point of the lift cabin. Each of the traction devices, which is connected to the lift cabin at one end, is guided via a rotary drive roller and connected to a counterweight at the other end. The lift cabin can be moved along a vertical direction using a drive assigned to the drive rollers. In order to ensure that the lift cabin is raised and lowered evenly during use, a sensor is provided that detects the tilting position of the lift cabin and controls the drives assigned to the drive rollers to compensate for the position. This means a high level of control effort, particularly with varying load distributions in the lift cabin, which also depends on the functionality of the sensor, so that regular maintenance of the sensors is absolutely necessary. In addition, there is the problem that the drives are exposed to very different loads, especially with uneven load distribution of high loads within the lift cabin. and, depending on their load profiles, have very different service lives.

Darstellung der ErfindungDescription of the invention

Der Erfindung liegt somit die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Vorrichtung zum Heben von Lasten der eingangs geschilderten Art vorzuschlagen, die auch bei hohen und ungleich in der Liftkabine verteilten Lasten einerseits einen für die Antriebe schonenden und andererseits einen wartungsarmen Betrieb ermöglicht.The invention is therefore based on the object of proposing a device for lifting loads of the type described at the outset, which, even with high loads that are unevenly distributed in the lift cabin, enables operation that is gentle on the drives and, on the other hand, low-maintenance.

Die Erfindung löst die gestellte Aufgabe dadurch, dass jeweils zwei der vier Antriebsrollen über eine gemeinsame, mit je einem Asynchronmotor als Antrieb antriebsverbundene, Synchronwelle drehfest miteinander verbunden sind und dass zwei Gegengewichte vorgesehen sind, von denen jedes mit zwei, gesonderten Synchronwellen zugeordneten, Zugmitteln verbunden ist.The invention solves the problem in that two of the four drive rollers are connected to one another in a rotationally fixed manner via a common synchronous shaft, each of which is connected to an asynchronous motor as a drive, and in that two counterweights are provided, each of which is connected to two traction means assigned to separate synchronous shafts.

Zufolge dieser Maßnahmen sind die beiden Asynchronmotoren sowohl über die Liftkabine als auch über die beiden Gegengewichte miteinander mechanisch gekoppelt. Eine darüber hinaus gehende mechanische Kopplung ist daher nicht zur Synchronisation notwendig. Der Erfindung liegt dabei die Überlegung zugrunde, dass es durch die Schlupfeigenschaft von Asynchronmotoren mit steigender Belastung zu einer Drehzahlverringerung der Nenndrehzahl und zu einer Erhöhung des Drehmoments der Asynchronmotoren kommt. Kommt es nun zu einer ungleichen Lastverteilung in der Liftkabine, so wirkt sich die Lasterhöhung nicht nur auf einen Asynchronmotor aus, sondern durch die mechanische Kopplung der Asynchronmotoren auf beide Asynchronmotoren. Durch die Schlupfeigenschaft der Asynchronmotoren und die erfindungsgemäße mechanische Kopplung erfolgt demnach eine Synchronisation der Asynchronmotoren, da sich deren Drehzahlen bzw. Drehmomente aneinander anpassen, wodurch einerseits eine gleichmäßige Lastverteilung an den beiden Antrieben und andererseits mit Zusammenwirken der Vertikalführung ein Gleichlauf der Liftkabine beim Verlagern der Liftkabine entlang der Vertikalführung ohne etwaige Lagesensoren zum Erfassen der Kipplage der Liftkabine ermöglicht wird.As a result of these measures, the two asynchronous motors are mechanically coupled to one another via the elevator car and the two counterweights. A further mechanical coupling is therefore not necessary for synchronization. The invention is based on the idea that the slip property of asynchronous motors leads to a reduction in the nominal speed and an increase in the torque of the asynchronous motors as the load increases. If there is an uneven load distribution in the elevator car, the increase in load not only affects one asynchronous motor, but also both asynchronous motors due to the mechanical coupling of the asynchronous motors. The slip property of the asynchronous motors and the mechanical coupling according to the invention therefore result in synchronization of the asynchronous motors, as their speeds and torques adapt to one another, which on the one hand ensures an even load distribution on the two drives and on the other hand, with the interaction of the vertical guide, a synchronization of the elevator car when the elevator car is moved. along the vertical guide without any position sensors to detect the tilt position of the lift cabin.

Um eine einfach zu bewerkstelligende mechanische Kopplung der Antriebe zu ermöglichen und den Antrieb dabei möglichst kompakt auszugestalten, wird vorgeschlagen, dass die Synchronwellen zueinander parallel verlaufen. Auf diese Weise können die beiden einem gemeinsamen Gegengewicht zugeordneten Antriebsrollen mit dem Gegengewicht und den diesen Antriebsrollen zugeordneten Zugmitteln in einer gemeinsamen Ebene liegen.In order to enable a simple mechanical coupling of the drives and to make the drive as compact as possible, it is proposed that the synchronous shafts run parallel to each other. In this way, the two drive rollers assigned to a common counterweight can lie in a common plane with the counterweight and the traction means assigned to these drive rollers.

Grundsätzlich ist es vorteilhaft, wenn die Liftkabine zwischen einer ersten Ebene, in welcher die beiden einem ersten gemeinsamen Gegengewicht zugeordneten Antriebsrollen mit dem ersten Gegengewicht und den diesen Antriebsrollen zugeordneten Zugmitteln verlaufen, und einer zweiten Ebene, in welcher die beiden einem zweiten gemeinsamen Gegengewicht zugeordneten Antriebsrollen mit dem zweiten Gegengewicht und den diesen Antriebsrollen zugeordneten Zugmitteln verlaufen, entlang der Vertikalrichtung verlagert werden kann, da dadurch die Dimension der gesamtes Vorrichtung im Wesentlichen durch die Dimensionierung der Liftkabine bestimmt wird. Hierzu können jene zwei, gesonderten Synchronwellen zugeordneten, Zugmittel mit dem kürzesten Abstand zueinander mit dem gleichen Gegengewicht verbunden sein.In principle, it is advantageous if the lift cabin can be displaced along the vertical direction between a first plane in which the two drive rollers assigned to a first common counterweight run with the first counterweight and the traction means assigned to these drive rollers, and a second plane in which the two drive rollers assigned to a second common counterweight run with the second counterweight and the traction means assigned to these drive rollers, since the dimensions of the entire device are thereby essentially determined by the dimensions of the lift cabin. For this purpose, the two traction means assigned to separate synchronous shafts can be connected to the same counterweight with the shortest distance to one another.

Damit eine Synchronisierung der Asynchronmotoren auch bei geringen Belastungsunterschieden ermöglicht wird, empfiehlt es sich in einer besonders vorteilhaften Ausgestaltungsform der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung, dass die beiden einem gemeinsamen Gegengewicht zugeordneten Zugmittel an jeweils gegenüberliegenden senkrechten Schenkeln des gemeinsamen Gegengewichts ansetzen. Auf diese Weise ergibt sich zwischen den senkrechten Schenkeln des Gegengewichts ein Lasthebel, der eine Feinjustierung der Synchronisierung begünstigt. Eine besonders effektive Synchronisierung der Asynchronmotoren ergibt sich dabei, wenn die Gegengewichte um eine zur Ebene normal stehende Schwenkachse verschwenkbar angeordnet sind.In order to enable synchronization of the asynchronous motors even with small load differences, it is recommended in a particularly advantageous embodiment of the device according to the invention that the two traction means assigned to a common counterweight are attached to opposite vertical legs of the common counterweight. In this way, a load lever is created between the vertical legs of the counterweight, which facilitates fine adjustment of the synchronization. A particularly effective synchronization of the asynchronous motors is achieved when the Counterweights are arranged so as to be pivotable about a pivot axis perpendicular to the plane.

Grundsätzlich kann die Vorrichtung in Innenräumen aber auch im Freien vorgesehen sein. Vor allem im Freien ist die Vorrichtung äußeren Einflüssen wie Wind und dergleichen ausgesetzt, der ein unerwünschtes Verlagern der Gegengewichte bedingen kann. Um daher einen Zusammenstoß zwischen Liftkabine und Gegengewichte zu verhindern, wird vorgeschlagen, dass die Gegengewichte gegen ein Verlagern entlang der Richtung der normal zur Ebene stehenden Schwenkachse gesichert sind.In principle, the device can be installed indoors or outdoors. Outdoors in particular, the device is exposed to external influences such as wind and the like, which can cause the counterweights to shift in an undesirable manner. In order to prevent a collision between the lift cabin and the counterweights, it is proposed that the counterweights be secured against shifting along the direction of the pivot axis perpendicular to the plane.

Um bei ungleichmäßiger Lastverteilung in der Liftkabine nicht nur die Belastung gleichmäßig auf die Antriebe zu verteilen, sondern gleichzeitig eine gewünschte Ausrichtung der Liftkabine zu ermöglichen, ohne dabei eine aufwändige Regelung zu bedingen, kann die Liftkabine in einer Zwangsvertikalführung geführt sein. Dies kann beispielsweise dadurch erreicht werden, dass einer Seitenwand der Liftkabine zwei in Vertikalrichtung voneinander beabstandete Führungsrollenpaare zugeordnet sind, wobei zum geführten Verlagern der Liftkabine eine vertikale Führungsschiene zwischen den Führungsrollen des jeweiligen Führungsrollenpaares angeordnet ist. Dadurch wird ein Verkippen der Liftkabine verhindert. Naturgemäß können auch mehr Seitenwände zwei in Vertikalrichtung voneinander beabstandete Führungsrollenpaare aufweisen.In order to not only distribute the load evenly across the drives in the event of uneven load distribution in the lift cabin, but also to enable the lift cabin to be aligned as desired without requiring complex control, the lift cabin can be guided in a forced vertical guide. This can be achieved, for example, by assigning two pairs of guide rollers spaced apart in the vertical direction to one side wall of the lift cabin, with a vertical guide rail being arranged between the guide rollers of the respective pair of guide rollers for guided movement of the lift cabin. This prevents the lift cabin from tipping over. Naturally, more side walls can also have two pairs of guide rollers spaced apart in the vertical direction.

Weg zur Ausführung der ErfindungWay to implement the invention

Eine Vorrichtung zum Heben von Lasten umfasst eine Liftkabine 9, welche über vier an jeweils einen Lastaufnahmepunkt 12 ansetzende Zugmittel 7,8 mit zwei Gegengewichten 5, 6 verbunden ist. Die Zugmittel 7,8, beispielsweise Stahlseile, sind zum Verlagern der Liftkabine 7 und der Gegengewichte 5, 6 entlang einer Vertikalrichtung 13 über Antriebsrollen 14a, 14b, 14c, 14d geführt. Die Antriebsrolle 14a ist über die Synchronwelle 3 drehfest mir der Antriebsrolle 14b verbunden. Die Antriebsrolle 14c ist über die Synchronwelle 4 drehfest mir der Antriebsrolle 14d verbunden. Die Synchronwelle 3 ist dabei mit einem ersten Asynchronmotor 1 als Antrieb antriebsverbunden und die Synchronwelle 4 mit einem zweiten Asynchronmotor 2. Die Antriebsrollen 14a, 14b, 14c, 14d können über die Synchronwellen 3, 4 und gegebenenfalls über weitere Getriebeeinheiten mit den Asynchronmotoren 1, 2 verbunden sein. Vorzugsweise sind die Asynchronmotoren 1, 2 elektrisch parallelgeschaltet und somit gemeinsam ansteuerbar.A device for lifting loads comprises a lift cabin 9, which is connected to two counterweights 5, 6 via four traction means 7, 8, each attached to a load-carrying point 12. The traction means 7, 8, for example Steel cables are guided over drive rollers 14a, 14b, 14c, 14d to move the lift cabin 7 and the counterweights 5, 6 along a vertical direction 13. The drive roller 14a is connected to the drive roller 14b in a rotationally fixed manner via the synchronous shaft 3. The drive roller 14c is connected to the drive roller 14d in a rotationally fixed manner via the synchronous shaft 4. The synchronous shaft 3 is connected to a first asynchronous motor 1 as a drive and the synchronous shaft 4 is connected to a second asynchronous motor 2. The drive rollers 14a, 14b, 14c, 14d can be connected to the asynchronous motors 1, 2 via the synchronous shafts 3, 4 and, if necessary, via further gear units. The asynchronous motors 1, 2 are preferably connected electrically in parallel and can thus be controlled together.

Erfindungsgemäß setzen jeweils zwei, gesonderten Synchronwellen 3, 4 - also Synchronwellen 3, 4, welche von dem jeweils anderen Asynchronmotor 1, 2 angetrieben werden - zugeordneten, Zugmittel 7, 8 an ein gemeinsames Gegengewicht 5, 6 an, wodurch die Asynchronmotoren 1, 2 sowohl über die Liftkabine 9, als auch über die Gegengewichte 5, 6 mithilfe der über die Antriebsrollen 14a, 14b, 14c, 14d geführten Zugmittel 7,8 miteinander mechanisch gekoppelt werden. Die mechanische Kopplung zwingt den Asynchronmotoren 1, 2 aufgrund deren Schlupfeigenschaft eine Synchronisation deren Drehzahlen bzw. Drehmomente auf, wodurch es zu einer gleichmäßigen Belastungsverteilung ohne komplexe zusätzliche Regelungstechnik zwischen den beiden Asynchronmotoren 1, 2 kommt, auch wenn die Liftkabine 9 ungleichmäßig belastet wird. Durch die Vertikalführung 10 kann zudem ein Gleichlauf der Liftkabine 9 beim Verlagern der Liftkabine 9 entlang der Vertikalrichtung 13 ohne etwaige Lagesensoren ermöglicht werden. Naturgemäß können auch mehrere Vertikalführungen 10, 11 vorgesehen sein, die an gegenüberliegenden Seiten der Liftkabine 9 angeordnet sind, um einen besonders ruhigen Gleichlauf der Liftkabine 9 zu ermöglichen.According to the invention, traction means 7, 8 assigned to two separate synchronous shafts 3, 4 - i.e. synchronous shafts 3, 4 which are driven by the other asynchronous motor 1, 2 - are attached to a common counterweight 5, 6, whereby the asynchronous motors 1, 2 are mechanically coupled to one another both via the lift cabin 9 and via the counterweights 5, 6 using the traction means 7, 8 guided via the drive rollers 14a, 14b, 14c, 14d. The mechanical coupling forces the asynchronous motors 1, 2 to synchronize their speeds or torques due to their slip properties, which results in an even load distribution between the two asynchronous motors 1, 2 without complex additional control technology, even if the lift cabin 9 is unevenly loaded. The vertical guide 10 also enables the lift cabin 9 to run synchronously when the lift cabin 9 is moved along the vertical direction 13 without any position sensors. Naturally, several vertical guides 10, 11 can also be provided, which are arranged on opposite sides of the lift cabin 9 in order to enable particularly smooth synchronous running of the lift cabin 9.

Konstruktiv einfache Bedingungen ergeben sich, wenn die Synchronwellen 3, 4 parallel zueinander verlaufen. Die Antriebsrollen 14a, 14b, 14c, 14d können jeweils endabschnittsseitig an den Synchronwellen 3, 4 drehfest angeordnet sein.Structurally simple conditions arise when the synchronous shafts 3, 4 run parallel to each other. The drive rollers 14a, 14b, 14c, 14d can be arranged in a rotationally fixed manner on the end section side of the synchronous shafts 3, 4.

Um die Vorrichtung möglichst kompakt ausgestalten zu können, können die dem Gegengewicht 5 zugeordneten Antriebsrollen 14a, 14c mit dem Gegengewicht 5 und den den Antriebsrollen 14a, 14c zugeordneten Zugmitteln 7 in einer gemeinsamen Ebene 15 liegen. Auch die dem Gegengewicht 6 zugeordneten Antriebsrollen 14b, 14d können mit dem Gegengewicht 6 und den den Antriebsrollen 14b, 14d zugeordneten Zugmitteln 8 in einer gemeinsamen nicht eingezeichneten Ebene liegen, welche parallel zur Ebene 15 verläuft.In order to be able to design the device as compactly as possible, the drive rollers 14a, 14c assigned to the counterweight 5 can lie in a common plane 15 with the counterweight 5 and the traction means 7 assigned to the drive rollers 14a, 14c. The drive rollers 14b, 14d assigned to the counterweight 6 can also lie in a common plane (not shown) with the counterweight 6 and the traction means 8 assigned to the drive rollers 14b, 14d, which runs parallel to the plane 15.

Wie der Figur zu entnehmen ist, können jene zwei, gesonderten Synchronwellen 3, 4 zugeordneten, Zugmittel 7,8 mit dem kürzesten Abstand zueinander mit dem gleichen Gegengewicht 5,6 verbunden sein. Demnach ist das der Synchronwelle 3 zugeordnete Zugmittel 7 über das Gegengewicht 5 mit dem der Synchronwelle 4 zugeordneten Zugmittel 7 verbunden und das der Synchronwelle 3 zugeordnete Zugmittel 8 über das Gegengewicht 6 mit dem der Synchronwelle 4 zugeordneten Zugmittel 8. Auf diese Weise kann die Liftkabine zwischen der Ebene 15 und der nicht dargestellten parallelen Ebene, in der das Gegengewicht 6 verläuft, entlang der Vertikalrichtung 13 verlagert werden.As can be seen from the figure, the two traction means 7, 8 assigned to separate synchronous shafts 3, 4 can be connected to the same counterweight 5, 6 with the shortest distance from one another. Accordingly, the traction means 7 assigned to the synchronous shaft 3 is connected via the counterweight 5 to the traction means 7 assigned to the synchronous shaft 4, and the traction means 8 assigned to the synchronous shaft 3 is connected via the counterweight 6 to the traction means 8 assigned to the synchronous shaft 4. In this way, the elevator car can be displaced along the vertical direction 13 between the plane 15 and the parallel plane (not shown) in which the counterweight 6 runs.

Eine besonders effektive mechanische Kopplung der Asynchronmotoren 1, 2 ergibt sich, wenn die einem Gegengewicht 5,6 zugeordneten Zugmittel 7, 8 an jeweils gegenüberliegenden senkrechten Schenkeln 16 des gemeinsamen Gegengewichts 5,6 ansetzen, da der sich zwischen den Schenkeln 16 ergebende Lastarm die Kraftübertragung zwischen den Zugmitteln 7, 8 begünstigt, sodass auch nur geringe Belastungsunterschiede zwischen den Asynchronmotoren 1, 2 zu einer Synchronisation führen können. Vorteilhafterweise sind die Gegengewichte hierzu um eine zur Ebene 15 normal stehende Schwenkachse verschwenkbar gelagert.A particularly effective mechanical coupling of the asynchronous motors 1, 2 is achieved when the traction means 7, 8 assigned to a counterweight 5, 6 are attached to opposite vertical legs 16 of the common counterweight 5, 6, since the load arm resulting between the legs 16 promotes the transmission of force between the traction means 7, 8, so that even small load differences between the asynchronous motors 1, 2 can lead to synchronization. For this purpose, the counterweights are advantageously mounted so that they can pivot about a pivot axis that is normal to the plane 15.

Um eine Kollision zwischen den Gegengewichten 5, 6 und der Liftkabine 9 zu vermeiden, können die Gegengewichte 5, 6 gegen ein Verlagern entlang der Richtung der normal zur Ebene 15 stehenden Schwenkachse gesichert sein. Eine derartige Sicherung kann beispielsweise an der Vertikalführung 10, 11 angreifen oder über gesonderte vertikal gespannte Sicherungsseile erfolgen.In order to avoid a collision between the counterweights 5, 6 and the lift cabin 9, the counterweights 5, 6 can be secured against displacement along the direction of the pivot axis perpendicular to the plane 15. Such a securing can, for example, act on the vertical guide 10, 11 or be carried out via separate vertically tensioned safety ropes.

Als Vertikalführungen 10, 11 können vertikale Führungsschienen 17, 18 vorgesehen sein, entlang derer jeweils zwei in Vertikalrichtung 13 voneinander beabstandete Führungsrollenpaare 19 unter Zwischenlage der Führungsschienen 17, 18 zwischen den Führungsrollen 20 der jeweiligen Führungsrollenpaare 19 verlaufen. Die Führungsrollenpaare 19 können an der Außenseite einer Seitenwand 21 der Liftkabine 9 angeordnet sein.Vertical guide rails 17, 18 can be provided as vertical guides 10, 11, along which two pairs of guide rollers 19, spaced apart from one another in the vertical direction 13, run with the guide rails 17, 18 interposed between the guide rollers 20 of the respective pairs of guide rollers 19. The pairs of guide rollers 19 can be arranged on the outside of a side wall 21 of the lift cabin 9.
