From diverting pulley 219, the hoisting ropes go further to the traction sheave 211 driven by the drive machine 210.
- the ropes go again upwards to a diverting pulley 204 mounted below the car, and having wrapped around it the hoisting ropes run via a diverting pulley 220 mounted in the lower part of the elevator shaft back to a second diverting pulley 205 below the car, from where the ropes go further to an anchorage 209 in the lower part of the elevator shaft, where the other end of the hoisting ropes is fixed.
- a rope tensioning element 208 is also provided at the lower rope anchorage.
- the elevator presented in Fig. 2 is a traction sheave elevator with machine below, in which the suspension ratio both above and below the car is 4:1.
- a smaller shaft space is needed above or below the elevator car because the rope sheaves used as diverting pulleys have small diameters as compared with earlier solutions, depending on how the rope sheaves are mounted on the elevator car and/or the frame of the elevator car.
- Fig. 3 presents a diagrammatic illustration of the structure of an elevator according to the invention.
- the elevator is preferably an elevator without machine room, with a drive machine 310 placed in the elevator shaft.
- the elevator shown in Fig. 3 is a traction sheave elevator with machine above, in which the suspension ratio above and below the elevator car is 6:1.
- the passage of the hoisting ropes 303 of the elevator is as follows: One end of the ropes 303 is immovably fixed to an anchorage 316 in the upper part of the shaft, from where the ropes run downwards to a diverting pulley 315 mounted at the side of the elevator car, from where the ropes run further to the upper part of the elevator shaft, passing around a diverting pulley 320, from which the ropes 303 go further downwards to diverting pulley 314, from which they return downwards to diverting pulley 313. Via the rope grooves of diverting pulley 313, the hoisting ropes run further upwards to the traction sheave 311 of the drive machine 310, passing around the traction sheave along the rope grooves on the sheave.
- the ropes 303 run further downwards to diverting pulley 322, wrapping around it along the rope grooves of the diverting pulley and then returning back up to the traction sheave 311, over which the ropes run in the traction sheave rope grooves. From the traction sheave 311, the ropes 303 go further downwards via the rope grooves of diverting pulley 322 to a diverting pulley 307 placed in the lower part of the elevator shaft, from where they go further to the elevator car 301 moving along the car guide rails 302 of the elevator and to a diverting pulley 306 mounted at its lower edge.
- the ropes are passed between the diverting pulleys 318,319 in the lower part of the elevator shaft and the diverting pulleys 306,305,304 in the lower part of the elevator car as many times as necessary to achieve the same suspension ratio for the portion above the elevator car and the portion below the car. After this, the rope goes downwards to an anchorage element 308, e.g. a weight, which functions as a rope tensioning element hanging freely at the other end of the rope.
- an anchorage element 308 e.g. a weight, which functions as a rope tensioning element hanging freely at the other end of the rope.
- the hoisting machine and the diverting pulleys are preferably all placed on one and the same side of the elevator car.
- the elevator guide rails 302 may preferably be disposed e.g. in the frontmost part of the elevator car at the sides of the elevator car/elevator car frame.
- the roping arrangement between the traction sheave 311 and the diverting pulley 322 is referred to as Double Wrap roping, wherein the hoisting ropes are wrapped around the traction sheave two and/or more times. In this way, the contact angle can be increased in two and/or more stages.
- a contact angle of 180° + 180°, i.e. 360 ° between the traction sheave 311 and the hoisting ropes 303 is achieved.
- a preferable solution is to dispose the traction sheave 311 and the diverting pulley 322 in such a way that the diverting pulley 322 will also function as a guide of the hoisting ropes 303 and as a damping wheel.
- Another advantageous solution is to build a complete unit comprising both an elevator drive machine with a traction sheave and one or more diverting pulleys with bearings in a correct operating angle relative to the traction sheave to increase the contact angle.
- the operating angle is determined by the roping used between the traction sheave an the diverting pulley/diverting pulleys, which defines the way in which the mutual positions and angle between the traction sheave and diverting pulley/diverting pulleys relative to each other are fitted in the unit.
- This unit can be mounted in place as a unitary aggregate in the same way as a drive machine.
- the drive machine may be fixed to a wall of the elevator shaft, to the ceiling, to a guide rail or guide rails or to some other structure, such as a beam or frame.
- Double Wrap roping when the diverting pulley is of substantially equal size with the traction sheave, the diverting pulley can also function as a damping wheel.
- Fig. 4 presents a diagrammatic illustration of the structure of a fourth elevator according to the invention.
- the elevator is preferably an elevator without machine room, with a drive machine 410 placed in the elevator shaft.
- the elevator shown in Fig. 4 is a traction sheave elevator with machine above and having a suspension ratio of 7:1 above and below the elevator car, which is a very advantageous implementation of the invention in respect of suspension ratio.
- the passage of the hoisting ropes is mainly similar to that in Fig. 3, but in this figure the starting point of the hoisting ropes 403 is on the elevator car 401, to which the rope is substantially immovably secured. With this arrangement, an odd suspension ratio is achieved for the portion above the elevator car.
- X Wrap X Wrap
- DW Double Wrap
- SW Single Wrap
- ESW Extended Single Wrap
- X Wrap roping the hoisting ropes are caused to wrap around the traction sheave 411 with a large contact angle. For example, in the case presented in Fig. 4, a contact angle well over 180°, i.e. about 270 ° between the traction sheave 411 and the hoisting ropes is achieved.
- X Wrap roping presented in the figure can also be arranged in another way, e.g. by providing two diverting pulleys at appropriate positions near the drive machine.
- diverting pulley 422 has been fitted in place at an angle relative to the traction sheave 807 such that the ropes will run crosswise in a manner known in itself so that the ropes are not damaged.
- the passage of the hoisting ropes from diverting pulley 413 is so arranged that ropes run via the rope grooves of diverting pulley 422 to the traction sheave 411 of the drive machine 410, wrapping around it along the traction sheave rope grooves. From the traction sheave 411, the ropes 403 go further downwards, passing crosswise with the ropes going upwards and further downwards via the rope grooves of the diverting pulley to diverting pulley 407.
- Fig. 5 presents 1 a diagram illustrating the structure of an elevator according to the invention.
- the elevator is preferably an elevator without machine room, with a drive machine 510 placed in the elevator shaft.
- the elevator shown in the figure is a traction sheave elevator with machine above and with a 9:1 suspension ratio both above and below the elevator car.
- the passage of the hoisting ropes 503 of the elevator is as follows: One end of the ropes is substantially immovably fixed relative to the elevator car at a fixing point 530 so as to be movable with the elevator car, from where the ropes go upwards to a diverting pulley 525 in the upper part of the shaft, from which pulley they run further in the manner described above between diverting pulleys 525,513,524,514,520,515,521,526, and from which diverting pulleys the ropes 503 go further to the traction sheave 511 of the drive machine 510, passing around it along the rope grooves of the traction sheave.
- the hoisting ropes 303 go further downwards, passing crosswise with the ropes going upwards, to diverting pulley 522, passing around it along the rope grooves of the diverting pulley 522.
- the ropes 503 go further downwards to a diverting pulley 528 in the lower part of the elevator shaft.
- the ropes then run further from diverting pulley 528 upwards between the diverting pulleys 504,505,506,507 in the lower part of the elevator car and the diverting pulleys 528,527,526,519,518 in the lower part of the elevator shaft in the manner described in connection with the preceding figures. in Fig.
- an odd suspension ratio is achieved below the elevator car as well by having the hoisting rope fixed substantially immovably relative to the elevator car at a fixing point 531, to which fixing point is also fitted a mounting element.
- the roping arrangement used between the traction sheave 511 and diverting pulley 522 is called Extended Single Wrap roping.
- Extended Single Wrap roping the hoisting ropes is caused to wrap around the traction sheave with a larger contact angle by using a diverting pulley.
- the contact angle between the traction sheave 511 and the hoisting ropes 503 is well over 180°, i.e. about 270°.
- the diverting pulley 522 is fitted in place at an angle relative to the traction sheave 511 such that the ropes pass crosswise in a manner known in itself so that the ropes are not damaged.
- Fig. 6 presents a partially sectioned view of a rope sheave 600 applying the invention.
- the rope grooves 601 are under a coating 602 on the rim 606 of the rope sheave.
- a space 603 for a bearing used to mount the rope sheave.
- the rope sheave is also provided with holes 605 for bolts, allowing the rope sheave to be fastened by its side to an anchorage in the hoisting machine 10, e.g. to a rotating flange, to form a traction sheave 11, so that no bearing separate from the hoisting machine is needed.
- the coating material used on the traction sheave and the rope sheaves may consist of rubber, polyurethane or a corresponding elastic material that increases friction.
- the material of the traction sheave and/or rope sheaves may also be so chosen that, together with the hoisting rope used, it forms a material pair such that the hoisting rope will bite into the pulley after the coating on the pulley has been worn out. This ensures a sufficient grip between the rope sheave 600 and the hoisting rope 3 in an emergency where the coating 602 has been worn out from the rope sheave 600. This feature allows the elevator to maintain its functionality and operational reliability in the situation referred to.
- the traction sheave and/or the rope sheaves can also be manufactured in such manner that only the rim 606 of the rope sheave 600 is made of a material forming a grip increasing material pair with the hoisting rope 3.
- the use of strong hoisting ropes that are considerably thinner than normally allows the traction sheave and the rope sheaves to be designed to considerably smaller dimensions and sizes than when normal-sized ropes are used.
- This also makes it possible to use a motor of a smaller size with a lower torque as the drive motor of the elevator, which leads to a reduction in the acquisition costs of the motor.
- the traction sheave diameter is preferably 120-200 mm, but it may even be less than this.
- the traction sheave diameter depends on the thickness of the hoisting ropes used.
- the use of small traction sheaves e.g. in the case of elevators for a nominal load below 1000 kg, makes it possible to achieve a machine weight even as low as about one half of the weight of currently used machines, which means producing elevator machines weighing 100-150 kg or even less.
- the machine is understood as comprising at least the traction sheave, the motor, the machine housing structures and the brakes.
- this ratio can be reduced somewhat.
- the D/d ratio can be reduced if at the same time the number of ropes is increased, in which case the stress per rope will be smaller.
- reducing the D/d ratio considerably below 30 radically reduces the useful life of the rope, although this can be compensated by using ropes of special structure. Achieving a D/d ratio below 20 is in practice very difficult, but it might be accomplished by using a rope specially designed for this purpose, although such a rope would very probably be expensive.
- the weight of the elevator machine and its supporting elements used to hold the machine in place in the elevator shaft is at most about 1/5 of the nominal load. If the machine is exclusively or almost exclusively supported by one or more elevator guide rails, then the total weight of the machine and its supporting elements may be less than about 1/6 or even less than 1/8 of the nominal load.
- Nominal load of an elevator means a load defined for elevators of a given size.
- the supporting elements of the elevator machine may include e.g. a beam, carriage or suspension bracket used to support or suspend the machine on/from a wall structure or ceiling of the elevator shaft or on the elevator guide rails, or clamps used to secure the machine to the sides of the elevator guide rails.
- the machine deadweight without supporting elements is below 1/7 of the nominal load or even about 1/10 of the nominal load or still less.
- the combined weight of the machine and its supporting elements may be only 75 kg when the traction sheave diameter is 160 mm and hoisting ropes having a diameter of 4 mm are used, in other words, the total weight of the machine and its supporting elements is about 1/8 of the nominal load of the elevator.
- the total weight of the machine and its suspension elements is about 150 kg, so in this case the machine and its supporting elements have a total weight equaling about 1/6 of the nominal load.
- the total weight of the machine and its supporting elements will be about 300 kg, in other words, the total weight of the machine and its supporting elements equals about 1/7 of the nominal load.
- the hoisting rope suspension arrangements By varying the hoisting rope suspension arrangements, it is possible to reach a still lower total weight of the machine and its supporting elements. For example, when a 4:1 suspension ratio, a 160 mm traction sheave diameter and a 4 mm hoisting rope diameter are used in an elevator designed for a nominal load of 500 kg, a total weight of hoisting machine and its supporting elements of about 50 kg will be achieved. In this case, the total weight of the machine and its supporting elements is as small as only about 1/10 of the nominal load. When the size of the traction sheave is substantially reduced and a higher suspension ratio is used, the torque output required of the motor falls to a fraction as compared to the starting situation.
- Fig. 7 presents a solution in which the rope groove 701 is in the coating 702, which is thinner at the sides of the rope groove than at the bottom.
- the coating is placed in a basic groove 720 provided in the rope sheave 700 so that deformations produced in the coating by the pressure imposed on it by the rope will be small and mainly limited to the rope surface texture sinking into the coating.
- the rope sheave coating consists of rope groove-specific sub-coatings separate from each other, but considering manufacturing or other aspects it may be appropriate to design the rope sheave coating so that it extends continuously over a number of grooves.
- the coating By making the coating thinner at the sides of the groove than at its bottom, the stress imposed by the rope on the bottom of the rope groove while sinking into the groove is avoided or at least reduced. As the pressure cannot be discharged laterally but is directed by the combined effect of the shape of the basic groove 720 and the thickness variation of the coating 702 to support the rope in the rope groove 7301, lower maximum surface pressures acting on the rope and the coating are also achieved.
- One method of making a grooved coating 702 like this is to fill the round-bottomed basic groove 720 with coating material and then form a half-round rope groove 701 in this coating material in the basic groove.
- the shape of the rope grooves is well supported and the load-bearing surface layer under the rope provides a better resistance against lateral propagation of the compression stress produced by the ropes.
- the lateral spreading or rather adjustment of the coating caused by the pressure is promoted by thickness and elasticity of the coating and reduced by hardness and eventual reinforcements of the coating.
- the coating thickness on the bottom of the rope groove can be made large, even as large as half the rope thickness, in which case a hard and inelastic coating is needed.
- the coating material may be clearly softer.
- An elevator for eight persons could be implemented using a coating thickness at the bottom of the groove equal to about one fifth of the rope thickness if the ropes and the rope load are chosen appropriately.
- the coating thickness should equal at least 2-3 times the depth of the rope surface texture formed by the surface wires of the rope.
- Such a very thin coating having a thickness even less than the thickness of the surface wire of the hoisting rope, will not necessarily endure the strain imposed on it.
- the coating must have a thickness larger than this minimum thickness because the coating will also have to receive rope surface variations rougher than the surface texture. Such a rougher area is formed e.g. where the level differences between rope strands are larger than those between wires.
- a suitable minimum coating thickness is about 1-3 times the surface wire thickness.
- this thickness definition leads to a coating at least about 1 mm thick. Since a coating on the traction sheave, which causes more rope wear than the other rope sheaves of the elevator, will reduce rope wear and therefore also the need to provide the rope with thick surface wires, the rope can be made smoother. Rope smoothness can naturally be improved by coating the rope with a material suited for this purpose, such as e.g. polyurethane or equivalent.
- the use of thin wires allows the rope itself to be made thinner, because thin steel wires can be manufactured from a stronger material than thicker wires.
- the wires in the steel wire rope may preferably have a thickness between 0.15 mm and 0.5 mm, in which range there are readily available steel wires with good strength properties in which even an individual wire has a sufficient wear resistance and a sufficiently low susceptibility to damage.
- ropes made of round steel wires have been discussed. Applying the same principles, the ropes can be wholly or partly twisted from non-round profiled wires. In this case, the cross-sectional areas of the wires are preferably substantially the same as for round wires, i.e.
- a traction sheave coating well suited for such a rope is already clearly below 1 mm thick.
- the coating should be thick enough to ensure that it will not be very easily scratched away or pierced e.g. by an occasional sand grain or similar particle that may have got between the rope groove and the hoisting rope.
- a desirable minimum coating thickness, even when thin-wire hoisting ropes are used, would be about 0.5...1 mm.
- a coating having a thickness of the form A+Bcosa is well suited.
- a and B are constants so that A+B is the coating thickness at the bottom of the rope groove 701 and the angle a is the angular distance from the bottom of the rope groove as measured from the center of curvature of the rope groove cross-section. Constant A is larger than or equal to zero, and constant B is always larger than zero.
- the thickness of the coating growing thinner towards the edges can also be defined in other ways besides using the formula A+Bcosa so that the elasticity decreases towards the edges of the rope groove.
- the elasticity in the central part of the rope groove can also be increased by making an undercut rope groove and/or by adding to the coating on the bottom of the rope groove a portion of different material of special elasticity, where the elasticity has been increased, in addition to increasing the material thickness, by the use of a material that is softer than the rest of the coating.
- Figures 8a, 8b and 8c present cross-sections of steel wire ropes used in the invention.
- the ropes in these figures contain thin steel wires 803, a coating 802 on the steel wires and/or partly between the steel wires, and in Fig. 8a a coating 801 over the steel wires.
- the rope presented in Fig. 8b is an uncoated steel wire rope with a rubber-like filler added to its interior structure, and Fig. 8a presents a steel wire rope provided with a coating in addition to a filler added to the internal structure.
- the rope presented in Fig. 8c has a non-metallic core 804, which may be a solid or fibrous structure made of plastic, natural fiber or some other material suited for the purpose.
- a fibrous structure will be good if the rope is lubricated, in which case lubricant will accumulate in the fibrous core.
- the core thus acts as a kind of lubricant storage.
- the steel wire ropes of substantially round cross-section used in the elevator of the invention may be coated, uncoated and/or provided with a rubber-like filler, such as e.g. polyurethane or some other suitable filler, added to the interior structure of the rope and acting as a kind of lubricant lubricating the rope and also balancing the pressure between wires and strands.
- a filler makes it possible to achieve a rope that needs no lubrication, so its surface can be dry.
- the coating used in the steel wire ropes may be made of the same or nearly the same material as the filler or of a material that is better suited for use as a coating and has properties, such as friction and wear resistance properties, that are better suited to the purpose than a filler.
- the coating of the steel wire rope may also be so implemented that the coating material penetrates partially into the rope or through the entire thickness of the rope, giving the rope the same properties as the filler mentioned above.
- the use of thin and strong steel wire ropes according to the invention is possible because the steel wires used are wires of special strength, allowing the ropes to be made substantially thin as compared with steel wire ropes used before.
- the ropes presented in Fig. 8a and 8b are steel wire ropes having a diameter of about 4 mm.
- the thin and strong steel wire ropes of the invention preferably have a diameter of about 2.5 - 5 mm in elevators for a nominal load below 1000 kg, and preferably about 5 - 8 mm in elevators for a nominal load above 1000 kg.
- ropes thinner than those mentioned above can be used for corresponding loads, and at the same time a smaller and lighter elevator machine can be achieved.
- Figures 9a, 9b, 9c, 9d, 9e, 9f and 9g present some variations of the roping arrangements according to the invention that can be used between the traction sheave 907 and the diverting pulley 915 to increase the contact angle between the ropes 903 and the traction sheave 907, in which arrangements the ropes 903 go downwards from the drive machine 906 towards the elevator car and diverting pulleys.
- These roping arrangements make it possible to increase the contact angle between the hoisting rope 903 and the traction sheave 907.
- contact angle ⁇ refers to the length of the arc of contact between the traction sheave and the hoisting rope.
- the magnitude of the contact angle ⁇ may be expressed e.g.
- the contact angle ⁇ is presented in greater detail in Fig. 9a. In the other figures, the contact angle ⁇ is not expressly indicated, but it can be seen from the other figures as well without specific separate description.
- Fig. 9a, 9b, 9c represent some variations of the X Wrap roping described above.
- the ropes 903 come via diverting pulley 915, wrapping around it along rope grooves, to the traction sheave 907, over which the ropes pass along its rope grooves and then go further back to the diverting pulley 915, passing crosswise with respect to the rope portion coming from the diverting pulley, and continuing their passage further.
- Crosswise passage of the ropes 903 between the diverting pulley 915 and the traction sheave 907 can be implemented e.g.
- the shaded area represents the contact angle ⁇ between the ropes 903 and the traction sheave 907.
- the magnitude of the contact angle ⁇ in this figure is about 310°.
- the size of the diameter of the diverting pulley can be used as a means of determining the distance of suspension that is to be provided between the diverting pulley 915 and the traction sheave 907.
- the magnitude of the contact angle can be varied by varying the distance between the diverting pulley 915 and the traction sheave 907.
- the magnitude of the angle ⁇ can also be varied by varying the diameter of the diverting pulley and/or by varying the diameter of the traction sheave and also by varying the ratio between the diameters of the diverting pulley and the traction sheave.
- Fig. 9b and 9c present an example of implementing a corresponding XW roping arrangement using two diverting pulleys.
- roping arrangements presented in Fig. 9d and 9e are different variations of the above-mentioned Double Wrap roping.
- the ropes run via the rope grooves of a diverting pulley 915 to the traction sheave traction sheave 907 of the drive machine 906, passing over it along the rope grooves of the traction sheave.
- the ropes 903 go further downwards back to the diverting pulley 915, wrapping around it along the rope grooves of the diverting pulley and returning then back to the traction sheave 907, over which the ropes run in the rope grooves of the traction sheave.
- the ropes 903 run further downwards via the rope grooves of the diverting pulley.
- the hoisting ropes are caused to wrap around the traction sheave twice and/or more times.
- the contact angle can be increased in two and/or more stages. For example, in the case presented in Fig. 9d, a contact angle of 180° + 180° between the traction sheave 907 and the ropes 903 is achieved.
- Double Wrap roping when the diverting pulley 915 is substantially of equal size with the traction sheave 907, the diverting pulley 915 also functions as a damping wheel.
- the ropes going from the traction sheave 907 to the diverting pulleys and elevator car pass via the rope grooves of diverting pulley 915 and the rope deflection produced by the diverting pulley is very small. It could be said that the ropes coming from the traction sheave only touch the diverting pulley tangentially. Such tangential contact serves as a solution damping the vibrations of the outgoing ropes and it can be applied in other roping arrangements as well.
- the diverting pulley 915 also functions as a rope guide.
- the ratio of the diameters of the diverting pulley and traction sheave can be varied by varying the diameters of the diverting pulley and/or traction sheave.
- DW roping can also be implemented in other ways, such as e.g. the way illustrated in Fig. 9e, where the diverting pulley 915 is disposed on the side of the drive machine 906 and the traction sheave 907. In this roping arrangement, the ropes 903 are passed in a manner corresponding to Fig. 9d, but in this case a contact angle of 180° + 90°, i.e.
- Fig. 9f presents an embodiment of the invention applying Extended Single Wrap roping as mentioned above.
- the ropes 903 run to the traction sheave 907 of the drive machine 906, wrapping around it along the rope grooves of the traction sheave. From the traction sheave 907, the ropes 903 go further downwards, running crosswise relative to the upwards going ropes and further to a diverting pulley 915, passing over it along the rope grooves of the diverting pulley 915. From the diverting pulley 915, the ropes 903 run further on.
- Figures 9a,b,c,d,e,f and g present different variations of roping arrangements between the traction sheave and the diverting pulley/diverting pulleys, in which the ropes go downwards from the drive machine towards the counterweight and the elevator car.
- these roping arrangements can be inverted and implemented in a corresponding manner so that the ropes go upwards from the elevator drive machine towards the diverting pulleys and the elevator car.
- Fig. 10 presents yet another embodiment of the invention, wherein the elevator drive machine 1006 is fitted together with a diverting pulley 1015 on the same mounting base 1021 in a ready-made unit 1020, which can be fitted as such to form a part of an elevator according to the invention.
- the unit 1020 contains the elevator drive machine 1006, the traction sheave 1007 and diverting pulley 1015 ready-fitted on the mounting base 1021, the traction sheave and diverting pulley being ready fitted at a correct operating angle relative to each other, depending on the roping arrangement used between the traction sheave 1007 and the diverting pulley 1015.
- the unit 1020 may comprise more than only one diverting pulley 1015, or it may only comprise the drive machine 1006 fitted on the mounting base 1021.
- the unit can be mounted in an elevator according to the invention like a drive machine, the mounting arrangement being described in greater detail in connection with the previous figures. If necessary, the unit can be used together with any of the roping arrangements described above, such as e.g. embodiments using ESW, DW, SW or XW roping.
- Fig. 11 presents an embodiment of the invention wherein the diverting pulley 1113 of the elevator is fitted in a ready-made unit 1114, which unit may be placed in the upper part and/or in the lower part of the shaft and/or in the elevator car, and in which unit it is possible to fit several diverting pulleys.
- a ready-made unit 1114 which unit may be placed in the upper part and/or in the lower part of the shaft and/or in the elevator car, and in which unit it is possible to fit several diverting pulleys.
- the unit can be provided with an unlimited number of diverting pulleys, and these can be fitted in a desired angle in the unit.
- Fig. 12 shows how the rope sheave 1204 serving to suspend the elevator car and its structures and mounted on a horizontal beam 1230 comprised in the structure supporting the elevator car 1201 is disposed with respect to the beam 1230.
- the rope sheave 1204 shown in the figure may have a height equal to or smaller than that of the beam 1230 comprised in the structure.
- the beam 1230 supporting the elevator car 1201 may be placed either below or above the elevator car.
- the rope sheave 1204 may be placed completely or at least partially inside the beam 1230, as illustrated in the figure.
- the passage of the elevator hoisting ropes 1203 in this figure is as follows.
- the hoisting ropes 1203 come to the coated rope sheave 1204 mounted on the beam 1230 comprised in the structure supporting the elevator car 1201, from where the hoisting rope runs further along the rope grooves of the rope sheave, protected by the beam.
- the elevator car 1201 rests on the beam 1230 comprised in the structure, on vibration absorbers 1229 placed between them.
- the beam 1230 functions at the same time as a rope guard for the hoisting rope 1203.
- the beam 1230 may be a C-, U-, I-, Z-shaped beam or a hollow beam or equivalent.
- the beam 1230 may support several rope sheaves fitted on it and serving as diverting pulleys in different embodiments of the invention.
- Fig.13 presents a traction sheave elevator without counterweight according to the invention, wherein the elevator guide rails are arranged on one side of the elevator car.
- the elevator car is preferably an elevator without machine room, with the drive machine 1304 placed in the elevator shaft.
- the elevator presented in the figure is a traction sheave elevator without counterweight and with machine above, in which the elevator car 1301 moves along guide rails 1302.
- the hoisting rope compensator 1315 comprises two wheel-like bodies fitted to each other, which preferably are wheels, and which in the situation illustrated in Fig. 13 are attached to the elevator car 1301.
- the pulley connected to the hoisting rope portion below the elevator car has a larger diameter than the pulley connected to the hoisting rope portion above the elevator car.
- the diameter ratio between the diameters determines the magnitude of the tension force acting on the hoisting rope and therefore the compensating force of the hoisting rope elongations and the length of the rope elongation compensated by the rope compensator.
- the use of pulleys provides the advantage that such a structure will compensate even very large rope elongations.
- the compensating device 1315 is fitted in conjunction with the elevator car 1301, and in the case of even suspension ratios it is fitted in the elevator shaft or in some other appropriate place.
- the compensating device 1315 may be implemented using two pulleys as shown in Fig. 13, but the number of wheel-like bodies may vary; for example, it is possible to use only one pulley fitted with places for hoisting rope fixing points differing in diameter. It is also possible to use more than two tensioning pulleys if it is desirable e.g. to vary the diameter ratio between the pulleys by only varying the diameter of the tensioning pulleys.
- the compensating device 1315 used may consist of a different type of compensator, such as e.g. a lever, a different compensating sheave application or some other appropriate compensating sheave application.
- the passage of the hoisting ropes is as follows: One end of the hoisting ropes is fixed to the one of the pulleys of the compensating device 1315 which has a smaller diameter, this pulley being immovably fitted on the pulley having a larger diameter, to which pulley the other end of the hoisting ropes 1303 is secured.
- the compensating device 1315 is fitted in place on the elevator car. From the compensating device 1315, the hoisting ropes 1303 go upwards and meet a diverting pulley 1314 mounted in the upper part of the shaft above the elevator car, passing around it along the rope grooves 1314 of the diverting pulley.
- These rope grooves may coated or uncoated, and the coating used consists of e.g.
- the ropes From diverting pulley 1314, the ropes go downwards to a diverting pulley 1313 fitted in place on the elevator car, and having passed around this pulley the ropes to further upwards to a diverting pulley fitted in place in the upper part of the elevator shaft. Having passed around diverting pulley 1312, the ropes return downwards to a diverting pulley 1311 fitted in place on the elevator car, pass around it and go again upwards to a diverting pulley 1310 fitted in place in the upper part of the elevator shaft.
- a friction increasing material such as polyurethane or some other material suited to the purpose.
- the hoisting ropes 1303 go further downwards to a diverting pulley 1309 fitted in place on the elevator car, and having passed around it the ropes 1303 go further upwards, in tangential contact with a diverting pulley 1307, to the traction sheave 1305.
- Diverting pulley 1307 is preferably fitted near the hoisting machine 1304.
- the roping presented in the figure between the diverting pulley 1307 and the traction sheave 1305 of the hoisting machine 1304 is a DW (Double Wrap) roping arrangement, wherein the hoisting rope 1303 runs in tangential contact with the diverting pulley 1307 upwards to the traction sheave 1305 and, having passed around the traction sheave 1305, returns to the diverting pulley 1307, and having passed around this pulley the hoisting ropes return to the traction sheave 1305.
- DW Double Wrap
- the hoisting ropes 1303 go upwards again to a diverting pulley 1316 fitted in place on the elevator car, pass around it and continue downwards to a diverting pulley 1317 in the lower part of the elevator shaft, and having passed around it the ropes return to a diverting pulley 1318 fitted in place on the elevator car.
- the hoisting ropes 1303 go downwards to a diverting pulley 1319 fitted in place in the lower part of the elevator shaft, pass around it and go again upwards to a diverting pulley 1320 on the elevator car.
- the hoisting ropes 1303 continue downwards to a diverting pulley 1321 fitted in place in the lower part of the elevator shaft, pass around it and go upwards again to the compensating device 1315 fitted in place on the elevator car, the other end of the hoisting ropes being secured to the compensator pulley of larger diameter. Diverting pulleys 1308,1316,1317,1318,1319,1320, 1321 and the compensating device 1315 form the hoisting rope suspension below the elevator car.
- the hoisting machine 1304 and traction sheave 1305 of the elevator and/or the diverting pulleys 1307,1310,1312,1314 placed in the upper part of the shaft may be mounted in place on the frame structure formed by the guide rails 1302 or on beam structure located at the top end of the elevator shaft or they may be mounted separately in the elevator shaft or in some other appropriate mounting arrangement.
- the diverting pulleys in the lower part of the elevator shaft may be mounted in place on the frame structure formed by the guide rails 1302 or on a beam structure located in the lower part of the elevator shaft or they may be mounted separately in the lower part of the elevator shaft or in some other appropriate mounting arrangement.
- the diverting pulleys on the elevator car may be mounted in place on the frame structure on the elevator car 1301 or on a beam structure or beams structures comprised in the elevator car or they may be mounted separately on the elevator car or in some other appropriate mounting arrangement.
- a preferred embodiment of the elevator of the invention is an elevator with machine above without machine room, the drive machine of which comprises a coated traction sheave and which uses thin hoisting ropes of substantially round cross-section.
- the contact angle between the hoisting ropes of the elevator and the traction sheave is larger than 180°.
- the elevator comprises a unit comprising a mounting base with a drive machine, a traction sheave and a diverting pulley ready fitted on it, said diverting pulley being fitted at a correct angle relative to the traction sheave.
- the unit is secured to the elevator guide rails.
- the elevator is implemented without counterweight with a 9:1 suspension ratio so that the elevator ropes run in the space between one of the walls of the elevator car and the wall of the elevator shaft.
- Another preferred embodiment of the elevator of the invention is an elevator without counterweight with a suspension ratio of 10:1 above and below the elevator car.
- This embodiment is implemented using conventional hoisting ropes preferably of a diameter of 8 mm and a traction sheave made of cast iron at least in the area of the rope grooves.
- the traction sheave has undercut rope grooves and its angle of contact to the traction sheave has been fitted by means of a diverting pulley to be 180° or greater.
- the traction sheave diameter is preferably 340 mm.
- the diverting pulleys used are large rope sheaves which, in the case of conventional 8-mm hoisting ropes, have a diameter of 320, 330, 340 mm or even more.
- hoisting ropes need not necessarily be passed under the car.
- the skilled person can vary the embodiment of the invention, while the traction sheaves and rope sheaves, instead of being coated metal sheaves, may also be uncoated metal sheaves or uncoated sheaves made of some other material suited to the purpose.
- the metallic traction sheaves and rope sheaves used in the invention which are coated with a non-metallic material at least in the area of their grooves, may be implemented using a coating material consisting of e.g. rubber, polyurethane or some other material suited to the purpose.
- the elevator car and the machine unit may be laid out in the cross-section of the elevator shaft in a manner differing from the lay-out described in the examples.
- Such a different lay-out might be e.g. one in which the machine is located behind the car as seen from the shaft door and the ropes are passed under the car diagonally relative to the bottom of the car. Passing the ropes under the car in a diagonal or otherwise oblique direction relative to the form of the bottom provides an advantage when the suspension of the car on the ropes is to be made symmetrical relative to the center of gravity of the elevator in other types of suspension lay-out as well.
- the equipment required for the supply of power to the motor and the equipment needed for elevator control can be placed elsewhere than in connection with the machine unit, e.g. in a separate instrument panel. It is also possible to fit pieces of equipment needed for control into separate units which can then be disposed in different places in the elevator shaft and/or in other parts of the building. It is likewise obvious to the skilled person that an elevator applying the invention may be equipped differently from the examples described above. It is further obvious to the skilled person that the suspension solutions according to the invention can also be implemented using almost any type of flexible hoisting means as hoisting ropes, e.g. flexible rope of one or more strands, flat belt, cogged belt, trapezoidal belt or some other type of belt applicable to the purpose.
- hoisting ropes e.g. flexible rope of one or more strands, flat belt, cogged belt, trapezoidal belt or some other type of belt applicable to the purpose.
- the average of the wire thicknesses may be understood as referring to a statistical, geometrical or arithmetical mean value. To determine a statistical average, the standard deviation or Gauss distribution can be used. It is further obvious that the wire thicknesses in the rope may vary, e.g. even by a factor of 3 or more.
- the elevator of the invention can be implemented using different roping arrangements for increasing the contact angle ⁇ between the traction sheave and the diverting pulley/diverting pulleys than those described as examples.
- the elevator can also be provided with a counterweight, in which elevator for example the counterweight preferably has a weight below that of the car and is suspended with separate roping.
