[0001] This invention relates to a latchable slide unit for sliding by supporting elevator
doors in an elevator shaft, that occupies a smaller room than the conventional ones,
on the wall placed above the bay; it refers too to a door transport carriage that,
assembled into that set, can be adapted to doors of different measures, makes easier
its assembling and mounting and permits to carry out the adjustments and regulations
with great facility.
[0002] The building lifts have a cabin which shifts upwards and downwards through the lift
shaft which in each floor has a wall opening fitted with floor doors.
[0003] These doors are mounted on transport carriages which shift on guide bars that bear
a rail in the middle and are usually placed facing the vertical hole, on the small
piece of wall that is between the top of the opening and the level of the upper floor.
[0004] A latchable slide unit for elevator doors according to the preamble of claim 1 is
described in FR 2,719,573, such a device comprising a guide rail having an elongate
guide track which is intended to be mounted in use on an inner wall of an elevator
shaft. In order to allow the blocking and unblocking mechanism, a blocking device
consists of a striker capable of selectively interlocking with a mechanical latch,
which is carried by a transport carriage of the sliding mechanism. In such a document
the mechanical latch is positioned outside the guide rail. Due to the fact that the
room between the top of the wall opening and the level of the upper floor is limited,
positioning of the latch outside the guide rail compels the guide rail to be constructed
with a small height and then less resistant.
[0005] So, the conventional devices known at present need a special place for the blocking
assembly (the hook, that slides together with the doors) and besides an additional
room to mount other parts, e.g. the safety electrical contacts. Due to this, the total
height of the device is too much with respect to the room that exists above the wall
opening. This makes necessary to reduce the height of the rail or of the guide bar
where the carriages that carry the doors run. The result is that the rail turns to
be a structurally weaker element. To solve this problem, specially when the mechanism
works on heavy or big doors, an additional profile is installed which is a complement
of the existing rail, with the corresponding addition of costs and time wasting.
[0006] As regards the conventional transporting carriages, they consist of a fixed assemblage
on which the wheels are mounted. In this way, the manufacturer must have carriages
to cover different measures, according to the measure of the door they are going to
be applied.
[0007] Besides, the existing carriages have their door mounting side facing the wall opening,
which originates that the assembling operations must be done within the tiny room
delimited by the wall beside the said opening with the additional complication that
certain assembling pieces must be mounted from the opposite side, that is, behind
the carriage. Another common difficulty is that the accuracy in assembling previous
to the doors mounting, must be corrected by means of regulations the said mounting,
which means a waste of time.
[0008] An additional restriction of the conventional systems is that, in the case of fire,
to avoid the fall of the doors and the consequent propagation of the fire through
the wall opening, they require an additional hooking means, which must be added to
the doors transport carriage structure.
[0009] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a set for the assembling of lift
doors that, on the wall placed above the wall opening, occupies a smaller room than
that of the conventional sets due to the fact that it bears a guiding means open lengthwise
for the running of the latching device. The present invention refers too to a lift
doors transporting carriage with an extensible assemblage which can be adapted to
doors of different sizes, and with rolling frames which make unlevelled supports,
what constitutes a facility for the assembling and mounting and permits to make adjustments
and regulations.
[0010] Therefore the present invention relates to a latchable slide unit for slidingly supporting
elevator doors in a elevator shaft, said slide unit comprising:
- a longitudinally extending guide rail having two parallel elongate guide members spaced
apart such that the inner lateral faces thereof constitute side walls of a central
open channel opening outwardly at the front of the guide rail;
- at least one transport carriage for use engaged with said guide rail in order to slindingly
support an elevator door panel suspendable therefrom, each of said at least one transport
carriages comprising at least one rolling assembly adapted to engage guide tracks
constituted by the outer lateral face of the respective elongate member, such that
the transport carriage is retained upon the guide rail for sliding displacement longitudinally
therealong, whereby a latching device is mounted on said at least one transport carriage
for sliding displacement together therewith and so as to pivot relative thereto about
an axis substantially perpendicular to the direction of longitudinal displacement;
and at least one electrical switch means;
characterized in
that the at least one electrical switch means is mounted inside the central channel
of said guide rail, and that the latching device of said at least one transport carriage
is received within said central channel for longitudinal displacement therein, the
latching and unlatching operations between the latching device and the electrical
switch means thus being accomplished within the confines of said central channel.
[0011] The latchable slide unit of the present invention consists of an open profile or
rail, inside which are placed the electrical switch means and the opening permits
the shifting of the hook of the latching device inside the open channel of the guide
rail.
[0012] Due to the fact that the latching mechanism is implemented within such a channel
the advantage is that given the same size of wall opening for the doors, it is possible
to increase the height of the guide rail and hence render it more resistant.
[0013] Other advantages are the reduction of the assembling, adjustment and repairing time
and the diminishing of costs, due to the fact that it is not necessary to add reinforcing
profiles, particularly in the case of very big and heavy doors.
[0014] As these latchable slide units are apt to the cabin, employing similar means for
the cabin and floors doors (in the case the cabin bears a latching unit) it permits
the production of a sole system and the reduction in the manufacturing costs.
[0015] As regards the transport carriage, an advantage is that its assemblage is extensible,
formed by rolling frames fixed through a joining means supplied with position regulation
means. This permits to extend or contract the assemblage to adapt it to different
width doors. The use of the same pieces for carriages of different measures contributes
to reduce the production costs.
[0016] A fundamental advantage is given by the angled support bracket placed in the lower
part of the principal vertical wall of each rolling frame. This makes easier the assembly
not only in the workshop but in the building itself because the doors can be mounted
simply by leaning the connecting auxiliary piece on the said angled support bracket.
[0017] Besides, the conecting and regulation means are placed on the side of the lift shaft
from where, if necessary, it is possible to work much more comfortably than in conventional
systems where the mentioned means are placed on the other side, that is, on the side
of the wall above the wall opening where the room is very reduced. In addition, the
existence of an auxiliary connecting piece between the angled support bracket and
the door, gives the possibility to mount the door panels with no need of regulation
using the fixed connecting means, in case the elements employed in this process have
been manufactured and mounted correctly. If, by any case, there had been a mistake
during these processes, it can be corrected using the adjustable connecting means.
[0018] The principal advantage of this system is the saving of time employed in regulation
when the job has been done correctly.
[0019] Finally there must be pointed out that the transport carriage mentioned is apt to
bear fire safety devices, as, for example, a hooking piece with the carriage mounting
guide.
[0020] This hook (flange or fold) is formed by the interconnection means between the rolling
frames and it keeps unhooked from the guide by the presence of the carriage plastic
wheels which, on burning, melt, producing the hooking that avoids the fall of the
doors panels.
[0021] To clarify and for a better understanding of the invention objet, it is illustrated
by various drawings which represent it only to exemplify, not to restrain or condition.
[0022] Drawing 1 is a perspective view that permits to observe the form of the latchable
slide unit for elevator doors as well as the blocking and electrical safety devices
inside it.
[0023] Drawing 2 is a perspective view in which can be seen the present latchable slide
unit and the small room it occupies on the wall between the wall opening for the doors
and the upper floor level. Also the transport carriage can be seen in this drawing.
[0024] Drawing 3 is a perspective view that corresponds to the transport carriage different
pieces.
[0025] Drawing 4 is a rear elevation view of the transport carriage in which can be seen
the regulation means of the interconnection piece between the two rolling frames.
At the bottom of the second rolling frame the auxiliary piece of connection with the
door can be seen.
[0026] In the different drawings, the same reference numbers indicate the same or corresponding
parts and the joints of various elements have been pointed out with letters. In drawings
1 and 2 can be observed the present latchable slide unit for sliding by supporting
elevator doors which guide rail (a) is destined to the mounting and putting on the
track of the transport carriages (b) of the doors (d). This guide rail (a) is fixed
to the wall (8) adjacent to the upper part of a wall opening corresponding to a landing
door, although it is apt too to be applied to the cabin wall opening. In a preferred
way of execution, the guide rail (a) of mounting and putting on the track of the carriages
(b) consists of a lengthwise profile (1) which back wall (2) is closed and its front
part is open.
[0027] The closed back wall (2) of the profile (1) is externally linked to the mounting
means which connect the profile (1) to the building wall (8) placed between the top
of the wall opening (9) and the upper floor level (10). The front part of the above
mentioned lengthwise profile (1) is open due to the fact that it forms an opening
or longitudinal passage (3).
[0028] Between the back wall (2) and the front part with the central open channel (3) are
the upper and lower edges of the profile which constitute elongate guide tracks (4)
on which run the wheels (20) of the transport carriages (b) of the doors (d).
[0029] On its side, the electrical switch means (5) consists of an electrical switch placed
within the limits of the profile (1), more precisely, fixed to the interior surface
of the back wall (2).
[0030] The present way of execution does not exclude other ways. For example: one in which
the guide rail (a) of mounting and putting on the track is formed by two profiles
close one from the other and parallel mounted. These, are separated in a measure at
least equivalent to the diameter of the axis (7) of the latching device (6) provided
by the carriage (b), and delimit an open cavity in which interior is the electrical
switch means (5).
[0031] In any case the condition always is the presence of an opening or longitudinal passage
(3) of motion of the blocking device (6) and that the electrical switch means (5)
is placed within the limits of the guide rail (a) of mounting and putting on the track.
[0032] In drawing 2 can be seen the guide rail (a) which bears mounted a transporting carriage
(b) includes a rolling combination (c) that, in the present way of performance, consists
of a train of two rolling frames (e), (f). Each one of these rolling frames - first
(e) and second (f) rolling frames - has a principal vertical body(11) in which is
mounted a wheels set (20) which sliding track is constituted by the guide rail (a)
of mounting and shifting. In drawings 3 and 4 is detailed the carriage (b) constitution,
which rolling combination (c), in this case, is an extensible train since both rolling
frames (e) (f) are joined, in their upper part, by an interconnecting means (13) which
has position regulation devices (14).
[0033] In its lower part, the rolling frame (e), (f) presents a lower folding (15) which
affects its principal body (11) in a way that results angled (12) respect to the principal
body (11). This angled support bracket (12) constitutes a support destined to the
respective door (d) mounting.
[0034] The lower folding (15) is projected in a way that slants the guide rail (a) beneath
it. So, the angled support bracket (12) is placed in an intermediate position between
the transport carriage (b) combination (c) and the wall opening (9) for installation.
More precisely, the angled support bracket (12) includes a vertical wall placed between
the plane of the principal vertical wall (11) of the respective rolling basis (e)
(f) and the plane that contains the wall opening (9) and the adjacent wall (8).
[0035] In the angled support bracket (12) there are a pair of pins [bolts] or mounting means
(16) for the door panel (d) mounting. In this way the mounting is performed by means
of the connection of an auxiliary mounting piece (17). This piece forms a second angled
configuration (17') and of the same sense as that of the support (12).
[0036] The lower end (22) of the mounting auxiliary piece (17) is linked to a connecting
profile (23) which projects from the upper part of the door panel (d).
[0037] The opening or longitudinal passage or central open channel (3) of the guide rail
(a) permits the sliding of the latching device (6) which shifts together with the
transport carriage (b) on which it is mounted.
[0038] The disposition of the electrical switch means (5) within the limits of the profile
(1) permits all the set to occupy a reduced place on the wall (8) situated between
the wall opening (9) and the level of the upper floor (10).
[0039] The extensible rolling combination (c) is formed by a train with two rolling frames
(e), (f) linked through a connecting means (13) provided with regulating means (14).
[0040] Due to these (14) the length of the combination (c) can be extended or contracted
withdrawing or approaching the rolling frame (e), (f) one with the other. This allows
to adapt the carriage to different doors (d) widths.
[0041] Besides, the angled support bracket (12) for the door, slants the guide rail or mounting
guide (a), projecting itself beneath it and remaining in an intermediate position
between the combination (c) and the wall opening for installation. On this side, the
auxiliary piece (17) of door (d) mounting projects itself beneath the angled support
bracket (12) for the door and is placed in an intermediate position between the said
bracket (12) and the above mentioned wall opening (9). Consequently the doors (d)
are mounted in an adjacent position as regards the opening (9) and the wall (8) around
it.
[0042] Nevertheless, as the mounting (16), connection and regulating (18) (19) means project
themselves and remain exposed in a position opposite to the wall (8) and the wall
opening (9) - that is, facing the shaft by which the cabin shifts - the regulation
and adjustment operations can be comfortably done from that side.
[0043] Besides, the presence of the angled support bracket (12) facilitates the door (d)
mounting too, by the simple leaning against the transport carriage (b), when the mounting
of the assembly is done before the mounting in the wall opening (9).
[0044] Finally, it has been foreseen an execution form in which the combination (c) of the
mentioned transporting carriage bears fire safety means. On the same side where the
wheels (20), manufactured in plastic, are mounted, the combination (c) has a fixing
means - a folding or fringe formed by the connection means (13). When the fire melts
the wheels (20) and consequently, the combination (c) descends, it remains fixed to
the guide rail (a). In this way the combination (c) stays attached to the guide rail
(a) and keeps the doors (d) panels in front of the wall opening (9).

can be introduced within the ambit of the following claims.
