- an automatic low stop device comprising two position sensors arranged in the lower part of the drive unit, actuated by two separate cams, of different lengths and sliding in the chassis of the drive unit. These cams are actuated by a low stop fixed to the mast, at a predefined safety distance from the lower end of the mast.
- the first “stop down” position sensor is actuated and the cabin is automatically stopped.
- the cabin continues its travel until the second cam actuates the second "stop out of low travel” position sensor, the cabin is then automatically stopped. It should be noted that this automatic low stop device is only activated in the presence of said low stop on the mast;
- + shock-absorbing stops 140 able to come into contact with the low mechanical stop placed at a predefined safety distance from the lower end of the mast, make it possible to cushion and prevent the cabin from descending too low, and prevent the cabin has an exit downward from the mast and thus prevents the cabin from falling;
- a fall arrest device 3 placed on a lower part of the power unit and being configured to adopt an engaged configuration when a member of the fall arrest device leaves the lower end of the mast.
- an organ engages with the rack and stops the cabin.
- a sensor detects the triggering of the fall arrest device and transmits a stop signal, resulting, for example, in stopping the drive motor and triggering a brake.
- the anti-fall device acts as the ultimate safety device to limit the downward travel of the cabin and its exit from the mast, in particular when the lower stopper is missing. For example, during reverse assembly operations of the mast requiring the absence of said bottom stop to put in place an additional mast section.
- the anti-fall device is therefore a safety element for the reverse mounting method of the mast, this anti-fall device making it possible to prevent the riser from falling when the bottom stop is not present on the mast and : o the operator makes a movement control awkwardness (does not stop before exiting the mast), o the device for detecting the absence of a lower mast is faulty, o the brake (s) engines are faulty and the cabin slips down o the descent speed does not reach overspeed and therefore does not trigger the parachute device o the operator is clumsy during a manual emergency descent.
- the cabin is stopped by the operator, so as to position the cabin floor of the cabin below the mast, at a sufficient distance (H + 100mm) to increase a mast section.
- the mast section to be assembled is positioned on the movable plate 120 making it possible to place said section plumb with the mast already in place (See Figure 1).
- the movable platform has at least two positions, a retracted position in the cabin and the extended position towards the rear of the cabin. The travel of the plate relative to the cage is limited by at least one stop.
- the tray 120 is a sliding tray and the cabin cage has a pair of rails 130, 130 'extending horizontally from the inside out to guide the tray.

- the tray In a retracted position of the tray 120 (as illustrated in Fig. 3), the tray is housed in the floor of the cage, with an upper surface of the tray substantially level with the surface of said floor.
- the tray also comprises a guillotine casing 122 determining a rear wall of the tray, said wall being complementary to a rear opening of the cage in which said casing is positioned when the tray is in the retracted position.
- the housing 122 slides vertically along the guardrail. In the “in-service” use configuration, the tray is locked in the retracted position and the casing is locked in the extended up position, thus blocking any opening in the wall of the cage.
- the housing In configuration of use "in assembly” the housing is unlocked and slid in the retracted position (in front of the guardrail of the platform) allowing the operator to access the lock of the platform and gain access to the mast.
- the housing therefore moves with the plate.
- the plate and the casing are also provided with at least one locking means and at least one position sensor making it possible to condition its use according to their position.
- the cabin floor In order to position the mast section below the existing mast, the cabin floor is brought down to a height below the mast slightly greater than a height of the mast section to be assembled. The cabin is therefore driven electrically upward at micro-speed until contact with the mast sections, so that an operator can splint said sections.
- each mast section has a height H of 1508 mm and the cabin is configured so that the floor of the cage goes down to - (H + 100mm) or around -1608mm below the mast.
- the platform is provided with one or more centralizers making it possible to perfectly position the mast section on the platform, facilitating contacting and splicing with the mast.
- the plate 120 may also include an overload detection device produced for example with one or more stress judges transmitting a stop signal, in order to avoid damaging the movable plate, particularly when the section is brought into contact. of mast with the masts. Indeed, without such a device, stopping is controlled by the operator. In case of clumsiness the tray can be damaged.
- a preliminary step is carried out, consisting in fixing (or suspending) to the structure the sub-assembly composed of the suspension ramp 2000 equipped with the cabin 10, using external means such as a crane or nacelle.

For example, a distance of at least H + 50 mm, and preferably about H + 100 mm;
- the guiding and centering of the mast is improved by installing at least two bolts, without nuts, diagonally on the last mast of the suspended mast.
- the jointing is carried out using four TH M20 x 180 screws, eight M20 flat washers and four M20 locknuts.
- the elevator assembly At the end of the second stage the elevator assembly is ready for its normal use, that is to say to allow the transport of personnel and materials.
- the elevator assembly may be put into service with a provisional mast height, and on unstable ground and for which the excavation work will continue subsequently.

- the object detector is positioned below a lower face of the cabin, for example on said plunger. As illustrated in the embodiment shown on the left in FIG.
- the anti-collision system transmits an emergency stop signal when an object is detected by a detection beam following a horizontal plane of the body.
- object detector the detection beam is positioned at a predefined distance XI from the underside of the cage, and corresponding substantially to the distance X2 traveled by the car to obtain its total stop following an emergency stop command at a speed programmed docking.
- the detection beam is positioned 370 mm from an underside of the cabin for a docking speed of 10 m / min.
- the object detector 45 is a laser scanner allowing the detection of objects below the elevator but also in a predefined ratio, such as in a ratio of 8 m around the elevator.
- the anti-collision system is also provided with a camera for viewing images of the docking area of the elevator.
- the plunger 40 has a telescopic tubular body positioned vertically outside a front face of the cage 12 of the cabin 10, and is connected to said cage 12 of the cabin by means of an arm. 46 fixing.
- Said plunger incorporates at least a first position switch 47 “down stop”, preferably reinforced by a second position switch 48 “out of low travel”.
- the first position switch 47 is activated when the diver is placed in contact with the ground and his body sinks slightly actuating said first position switch 47.
- the position switch 47 transmits a signal to an electrical cabinet of the cabin triggering an immediate stop control of the stroke, if the cabin does not stop, the body of the diver activates the second position switch 48 when it continues to sink to command the ultimate stop of the stroke.
- the plunger has a height Y between the underside of the cabin and its foot to the ground of approximately 550 mm actuating the first switch, and a minimum height Ymin of approximately 420 mm actuating the second switch. position and to prevent the crushing of a person lying below the cabin when a failure of the first switch and the object detector does not stop the front cabin.
- the anti-collision system 4 also makes it possible to condition the speed of descent of the cabin when it approaches the ground of the excavation, this speed being able to be programmed according to the distance between the ground and the cabin detected by means of the sensor of distance 42.
- Cab 10 is also equipped with a folding access ramp, with non-slip floor, optionally servo-controlled, lockable and manoeuvrable from inside and outside the cab when the lift is stopped.
- a closed position of this ramp is controlled by a position sensor configured to allow or prevent movement of the car according to the position of the ramp.
- Access to the cabin is from a lateral side of the cabin by means of this access ramp.
- the elevator assembly will be routinely used by personnel working at the bottom of the excavation.
- the flow of personnel around the berthing perimeter is quite significant and can therefore frequently trigger the anti-collision and stop the cabin during its berthing.
- the invention proposes to install a fence around the lift assembly with protective panels of approximately 2 m in height, and allowing access to the cabin only from a secure door.
- This fence (not shown) is for example placed on the ground or is integral with the mast and not resting on the ground.
- the docking area of the cabin is thus secured and the anti-collision device can be reconfigured so as to no longer command the stopping of the cabin when the object detector detects personnel or objects in the docking perimeter.
- a descent speed can also be reprogrammed and the anti-collision system plunger removed.
- a suspended lifting assembly such as the lifting assembly of the invention
- the dismantling of a suspended lifting assembly is normally done from the bottom up and independently by means of the cabin with the exception of the first part of the mast and the cabin being dismantled by means of a crane or other lifting means.
- this self-contained bottom-up disassembly process is substantially equivalent to the reverse steps of the reverse assembly process.
- the invention provides a load transfer system with which the weight of the assembly is transferred to the ground to allow disassembly from the top to the bottom of the mast. Following the transfer of load from the lift assembly to the ground, rapid top-to-bottom disassembly is achieved using a crane or other lifting device, as well as the cabin.
- the cabin is used to allow one or more operators to position themselves at a desired height of the mast to hook the parts of the mast to the crane from a roof of the cage, as well as to disassemble the fishplates and the fish. anchoring the mast from inside the cage.
- the elevator assembly comprises a load transfer system comprising at least one height-adjustable foot, assembled at the lower end of the mast.
- the transfer system comprises two adjustable feet 80, 80 "in height and assembled to an underside of the mast by means of a fixing plate 82.
- the at least one leg is assembled directly to the lower end of the mast and without the intermediary of a mounting plate.
- the adjustable feet 80 in height make it possible to configure the feet with a first height allowing the mast to rest on the ground, to then raise said mast during its configuration to a second height allowing the primary anchoring part to be unloaded. and transfer the weight of the mast to the ground.
- the plate 82 is splinted in a horizontal position with the angle posts 210 of the mast, at least partially closing a lower face of the mast.
- the adjustable feet form vertical jacks, resting on the ground and extending upwards through the plate, so that its upper end is housed in the mast.
- the height of the adjustable feet is changed by means of a manual screw-nut jack system.
- the load transfer system is integrated with the base fence.
- the present invention thus makes it possible to reduce the number of operators and of the means required for the assembly and disassembly of the elevator assembly, as well as to improve the speed of these operations.
- the lift assembly also helps secure sensitive operations, such as the reverse assembly step using the Safe Stop System or docking using the Collision Avoidance System.
