[0001] The object of the invention is a guide shoe arrangement of an elevator as defined
in the preamble of claim 1.
[0002] Normally elevators comprise essentially vertical guide rails disposed in an elevator
hoistway, guided by which guide rails the elevator car is fitted to travel up and
down in the elevator hoistway. Guide shoes are fitted onto the top edges and bottom
edges of the elevator car or of the car sling, which guide shoes are arranged to guide
the passage of the elevator car on the guide rails. The most commonly used types of
guide shoes are a sliding guide shoe and a roller guide shoe. The current invention
relates more particularly to a sliding guide shoe arrangement of an elevator car.
[0003] The guide rails are not brought into the elevator hoistway as full-length in the
installation phase, but instead they are assembled in the elevator hoistway from guide
rail elements of a certain length, which elements are connected in the installation
phase end-on-end one after the other. Guide rails of essentially the height of the
elevator hoistway, are in practice, impossible to install in a fully straight line,
owing to which lateral forces from the guide rails are exerted on the sliding guide
shoes when the elevator car moves, which forces cause vibrations, from which noise
is also produced. If there is no sort of damping or insulation between a sliding guide
shoe and the elevator car, vibrations and noises are transmitted via the sliding guide
shoes to the elevator car, which disturbs the passengers.
[0004] Solutions according to prior art have used various damping solutions in order to
eliminate this problem. Rubber insulators, for example, are used between the sliding
guide shoe pad and the frame of the guide shoe as this is for example to be seen in
document FI 99 203 C from 1995 of the same applicant as for the present invention.
However, a problem in these solutions is that in order to get the rubber insulator
to stay in its place, it has had to be glued to e.g. the frame of the guide shoe.
This is an extra work phase and raises the price of a guide shoe unit. In contrast
to this, document
US 4,598,798 shows a possibility to click the single parts of elastomeric pad, guide retainer
and slide shoe components to one another without needing a gluing.
[0005] In addition, the rubber pieces of uniform thickness that are used yield elastically
only according to their material properties, which is relatively little, because the
rubber material is not able to move freely in the compression phase. When the flexibility
margin is relatively little, one problem is poor drive comfort and also the precision
required in installation in order for the sliding guide shoes to be brought into their
correct points as accurately as possible. Often it is necessary to use various washers
as an aid and to fit the guide shoes by means of them a little at a time into their
correct points with respect to the guide rails.
[0006] To this end, above mentioned document
US 4,598,798 aims to solve this problem by providing holes in the elastomeric pad, in which stiffener
pins can be inserted to change the damping characteristics of the pad.
[0007] In prior art, it has been further known according to document
DE 76 07 776 U1 of the year 1976 to form a U-shaped housing for the guide shoe in which an circular
elastic pad is accommodated which at its outer edges leaves a distance to the housing
rim, so that the pad can be deformed into these spaces for letting a polyamide-sliding
shoe turn a bit.
According to document
US 4,271,932 a guide shoe is elucidated being from 1981, having the sliding body provided with
protrusions which penetrate through apertures of an intermediate elastic pad.
The purpose of this invention is to eliminate the aforementioned drawbacks and to
achieve a guide shoe arrangement of an elevator that prevents the vibrations and noise
produced by a guide rail to a guide shoe from being transmitted to the elevator car.
Another aim is to achieve a guide shoe arrangement of an elevator, wherein the guide
shoes are structurally simple and also inexpensive, and their structure is such that
they are easy to install into position.
The solution of the present invention is defined by the features of claim 1. Preferred
embodiments are disclosed in the subordinate claims.
One advantage of the solution according to the invention is that by means of it the
transmission to the elevator car of vibrations and noise produced in the contact of
the guide shoes of the car and the guide rail can be reduced. Another advantage is
that the arrangement is simple and inexpensive to implement, because the parts are
inexpensive and assembly is easy and fast, and e.g. gluing does not slow down the
manufacturing. Yet another advantage is that the installation of sliding guide shoes
according to the invention is easy and quick, because washers are not needed in the
installation for determining the exact position of a sliding guide shoe in relation
to the front surface of a guide rail.
[0008] The invention is based on the concept that an elastic insulating part is used to
insulate the elevator car from the guide rail. One advantage is the simplicity, efficiency
and easy formability of the structure to produce advantageous behavior from the viewpoint
of vibration damping and insulation.
[0009] In one basic embodiment of the concept according to the invention in the guide shoe
arrangement of an elevator the elevator comprises at least an elevator car, which
is fitted to travel in an elevator hoistway essentially vertically guided by at least
one guide rail, and also at least one sliding guide shoe per guide rail, which sliding
guide shoe comprises at least a frame part and a sliding part disposed to be supported
by the frame part. For insulating the elevator car from the guide rail the frame part
is insulated from the guide rail with an elastic, i.e. of an elastic material, insulating
part in the sliding guide shoe. This can assist in ensuring that there is not a problematic
route for vibration to travel to the elevator car. Elasticity also enables movement
between the sliding part and the frame part. (The frame part is preferably arranged
to be fixed, preferably rigidly, to its mounting base, such as to the elevator car
or to the car sling).
[0010] In a more refined embodiment of the concept according to the invention between the
frame part of the sliding guide shoe and the sliding part the elastic insulating part
is fitted to be movable in relation to the frame part. Since the insulating part is
able to move slightly in relation to the frame part, the pivoting and other slight
movement of the sliding part of the insulating part supported inside it is facilitated.
[0011] In a more refined embodiment of the concept according to the invention the elastic
insulating part is of rubber. Rubber insulates parts from each other such that it
allows relative movement of the parts to be insulated. It is advantageous as a vibration-damping
material.
[0012] According to the invention the sliding guide shoe comprises a sliding part, the inner
surfaces of which function as sliding surfaces resting directly against the guide
rail, and that the sliding part is insulated from the frame part with an elastic insulating
part such that the sliding part and/or a support part supporting the sliding part
is supported on the frame part only via the aforementioned elastic insulating part.
Thus the insulation is comprehensive and effective. Thus ensuring that there is not
a route for vibration to travel to the elevator car can be assisted.
[0013] In a more refined embodiment of the concept according to the invention the elastic
insulating part is fitted into its position in the frame part by means of precompression
and shape-locking. Extensive clearances and the formation of transitory noise can
thus be prevented.
[0014] In a more refined embodiment of the concept according to the invention the external
cross-section of the elastic insulating part is greater than the cross-section of
its essentially trough-shaped location site in the frame part. Extensive clearances
and the formation of transitory noise can thus be prevented.
[0015] In a more refined embodiment of the concept according to the invention the sliding
part is disposed inside the support part (see mentioning above) that is essentially
trough-shaped in its cross-section, and that the combined cross-section of the sliding
part and the support part is greater than the essentially trough-shaped internal cross-section
of the elastic insulating part. Thus the insulating part precompresses the parts inside
it ensuring there is no clearance in a loading situation, because the precompression
is released, filling the spaces in which a clearance would otherwise form. It is advantageous
to prevent the transitory formation of extensive clearances because the extensive
free surfaces of the sliding part and/or of the support part would without insulating
support produce noise.
[0016] As said above, between the frame part and each side wall of the elastic insulating
part is an air pocket, at the point of which the insulating part is not in contact
with the frame part. The elastic insulating part is thus molded also in its shape
in addition to its material properties to produce advantageous elastically yielding
behavior. An air pocket guarantees a space into which the material of the elastic
insulating part can flow as a consequence of compression exerted on it. Thus the material
does not need to be selected to be very flexible.
[0017] According to the invention the side walls of the elastic insulating part comprise
a plurality of compression protrusions, which rest on the inner walls of the frame
part, and that between the aforementioned compression protrusions are recesses, and
that at the point of the aforementioned recesses is (when the sliding guide shoe is
in an unloaded static state) an air pocket between the frame part and the insulating
part, at the point of which air pocket the insulating part is not in contact with
the frame part. The elastic insulating part is thus molded also in its shape in addition
to its material properties to produce advantageous elastically yielding behavior.
By changing the size and shape of the air pocket it is easy to adjust the behavior
to be advantageous. An air pocket guarantees a space into which the material of the
elastic insulating part can flow as a consequence of compression exerted on it. Thus
the material does not need to be selected to be very flexible.
[0018] In a more refined embodiment of the concept according to the invention the elastic
insulating part rests on the inner walls of the frame part via the compression protrusions
that are in the center area in the longitudinal direction of the elastic insulating
part such that there is not an air pocket in the longitudinal direction in the center
of the insulating part, and that in the longitudinal direction there is an air pocket
between the insulating part and the frame part on both sides of the center area of
the insulating part, preferably symmetrically, at the point of which air pocket the
insulating part is not in contact with the frame part. The elastic insulating part
is thus molded also in its shape in addition to its material properties to produce
advantageous elastically yielding behavior. This support enables pivoting of the insulating
part around the central area, because the central area has more rigid support than
around it. Thus the sliding part can advantageously adapt to variations in the direction
of a guide rail.
[0019] In a more refined embodiment of the concept according to the invention the side walls
of the elastic insulating part each comprise an elasticity means, which rests on the
outer wall of the sliding part, and that the elasticity means preferably comprises
compression protrusions, between which are recesses, at the point of which recesses
is (when the sliding guide shoe is in an unloaded static state) an air pocket between
the sliding part and the insulating part, at the point of which air pocket the insulating
part is not in contact with the sliding part. The elastic insulating part is thus
molded also in its shape in addition to its material properties to produce advantageous
elastically yielding behavior in the sliding part. With the structure described the
insulating part is in direct contact with the sliding part and its support can comprise
an air pocket between the insulating part and the frame part and between the insulating
part and the sliding part.
[0020] In a more refined embodiment of the concept according to the invention between the
rear wall of the frame part and the rear wall of the insulating part is an air pocket,
at the point of which the insulating part is not in contact with the frame part. This
enables an advantageous pivoting movement of the insulating part in relation to the
frame part such that the bottom edge of the rear wall of the insulating part approaches
the rear wall of the frame part and the top edge recedes from it (and
vice versa). Thus the sliding part can advantageously adapt to variations in the direction of
a guide rail.
[0021] In a more refined embodiment of the concept according to the invention the side wall
of the elastic insulating part comprises a plurality of compression protrusions, at
the point of which the wall thickness of the side wall is greater than the other part
of the side wall, and that between the compression protrusions in the longitudinal
direction of the side wall are recesses, in which the wall thickness of the side wall
is smaller than, or as large as, the other part of the side wall. The elastic insulating
part is thus molded also in its shape in addition to its material properties to produce
advantageous elastically yielding behavior.
[0022] In a more refined embodiment of the concept according to the invention the internal
compression protrusions of the side wall of the elastic insulating part are fitted
through the apertures that are in the side walls of the support part into contact
with the outer surface of the side wall of the sliding part. Thus a large support
is achieved for the sliding part despite the presence of the support part. This, among
other things, decreases the susceptibility to the formation of clearances between
the sliding part and the support part, thus reducing noise problems.
[0023] In a more refined embodiment of the concept according to the invention the inner
surface of the side wall of the frame part comprises recesses essentially at the point
of the elasticity means of the outer surface of the side wall of the elastic insulating
part and the compression protrusions of it, and that the wall thickness of the side
wall of the elastic insulating part at the point of the compression protrusions is
greater than the distance between the base of the recesses on the inner surface of
the side wall of the frame part and the outer wall of the sliding part. The elastic
insulating part is thus molded also in its shape in addition to its material properties
to produce advantageous elastically yielding behavior.
[0024] In a more refined embodiment of the concept according to the invention the depth
of the compression protrusions of the outer surface of the side wall of the elastic
insulating part from their front edge to their rear edge is smaller than the depth
of the recesses in the same direction such that when the insulating part is in its
position inside the frame part the rear edges of the compression protrusions are detached
from the rear edge of the recesses. In this way an advantageous air pocket forms.
[0025] In a more refined embodiment of the concept according to the invention the rear surface
of the rear wall of the insulating part comprises essentially rectangular protrusions,
which are fitted to extend into the apertures in the rear wall of the frame part,
and that the front surface of the rear wall of the insulating part comprises essentially
rectangular protrusions, which are fitted to extend into the apertures in the rear
wall of the support part. In this way advantageous shape-locking forms.
[0026] Some inventive embodiments are also presented in the descriptive section and in the
drawings of the present application. The features of the various embodiments of the
invention can be applied within the framework of the basic inventive concept in conjunction
with other embodiments. Each embodiment can also singly and separately from the other
embodiments form a separate invention.
[0027] In the following, the invention will be described in detail by the aid of an example

[0028] Fig. 1 presents as an explosion drawing one sliding guide shoe unit 1 according to
the invention. The sliding guide shoe unit 1 comprises a frame part 2, an insulating
part 3, a support part 4 and a sliding part 5 that are detached from each other and
nested, the cross-sectional shape of all of which is an essentially trough-like U-shape
that opens towards the front.
[0029] The frame part 2 is e.g. bent from metal plate into such a shape that the rear edges
of the frame part 2 have fixing lugs 2a extending outwards to the sides, from the
fixing holes 2b in which lugs the frame part 2 is arranged to be fixed to its mounting
base, such as to the elevator car or to the car sling. Between the fixing lugs 2a
is a trough-shaped space that opens towards the front, which is formed by side walls
2c that in cross-section are at essentially right angles in relation to the fixing
lugs 2a as well as by a rear wall 2d that is between the side walls and is in essentially
the direction of the fixing lugs 2a.
[0030] The side walls 2c, which are bent from metal plate, of the frame part 2 are twice
the thickness of the plate material up to the rear wall 2d except for the recesses
2f on the inner surfaces of the side walls 2c, at the point of which recesses the
thickness of the side wall is the same as the thickness of the whole plate material.
The inner surface of both side walls 2c comprises in the longitudinal direction, i.e.
in the direction of movement of the elevator car, two consecutive flat-bottomed recesses
2f that are essentially rectangular in shape and open towards the front, which recesses
are at a vertical distance from each other separated by a neck 2g. The rear wall 2d
comprises in a line in the longitudinal direction at regular intervals a plurality
of essentially rectangular apertures 2e for the insulating part 3 to be fitted inside
the frame part 2.
[0031] In the assembled sliding guide shoe unit 1 the front-opening, trough-shaped insulating
part 3 is fitted inside the frame part 2, which insulating part is made of an elastic
material such as e.g. of rubber. The insulating part 3 comprises two side walls 3a
and a rear wall 3b that is between the side walls and is at a right angle with respect
to the side walls. The outer surfaces of the side walls 3a of the insulating part
3 comprise elasticity means 3e, which are fitted into the recesses 2f of the side
walls 2c of the frame part 2. In the longitudinal direction there are e.g. two consecutive
elasticity means 3e on both outer surfaces of the side wall 3a and they are disposed
at essentially the same distance from each other as the recesses 2f. The depth of
the elasticity means 3e from their front edge to their rear edge is smaller than the
depth of the recesses 2f in the same direction, so that when the insulating part 3
is in its position inside the frame part 2 the rear edges of the elasticity means
3e are detached from the rear edge of the recesses 2f. This structure allows a small
pivoting movement of the parts 3-5 that are inside the frame part 2 at least towards
the rear wall of the frame part 2 and back as a result of the forces produced by errors
in the straightness of the guide rails. The result is good following capability of
the guide shoe, which in the elevator car is experienced as good ride comfort.
[0032] The rear surface of the rear wall 3b of the insulating part 3 additionally comprises
essentially rectangular protrusions 3i, which are fitted to extend into the apertures
2e in the rear wall 2d of the frame part 2. The protrusions 3i are not visible in
Fig. 1 but they are visible in Figs. 3-5. The inner surface of the rear wall 3b comprises
corresponding protrusions 3f to those on the outer surface of the rear wall. In addition,
the end edges of the inner surface of both side walls 3a of the insulating part 3
comprise elasticity means 3d and in the center of the inner surface in the longitudinal
direction is an elasticity means 3c. The end edges, i.e. the top edges and the bottom
edges 3g, of the rear wall 3b of the insulating part 3 are bent backwards such that
they turn over the end edges, i.e. the top edges and the bottom edges, of the rear
wall 2d of the frame part 2 when the sliding guide shoe unit 1 is assembled. In addition,
the front edges 3h of the side walls 3a of the insulating part turn over the front
edges of the side walls 2c of the frame part 2.
[0033] The insulating part 3 is in cross-section suitably larger in its external dimensions
than the frame part 2 in its internal dimensions. Owing to this the insulating part
3 precompresses against the frame part 2 when it is fitted inside the frame part 2,
in which case the insulating part 3 remains firmly inside the frame part 2 without
glue. In addition, the protrusions 3f and 3i as well as the bends 3g are fitted to
improve the staying of the insulating part 3 in its position.
[0034] The protrusions 3f and 3i of the rear wall 3b of the insulating part 3 as well as
the elasticity means 3c, 3d and 3e of the side walls are described in more detail
in connection with the descriptions of Figs. 3-8.
[0035] In the assembled sliding guide shoe unit 1 a support part 4 is further fitted inside
the insulating part 3, which support part is e.g. a trough-shaped piece bent from
metal plate into a U-shaped cross-sectional profile and opening towards the front.
The support part 4 comprises side walls 4a that extend towards the front and a rear
wall 4d between these. The side walls 4a comprise apertures 4b for the elasticity
means 3c of the insulating part and apertures 4g for the elasticity means 3d of the
insulating part. The rear wall 4d of the support part 3 correspondingly comprises
apertures 4e for the protrusions 3f of the inner surface of the rear wall of the insulating
part 3. In addition, the end edges, i.e. the top edges and the bottom edges 4f, of
the rear wall 4d are bent backwards and also turn over the top edges and the bottom
edges of the rear wall 2d of the frame part 2 on top of the top edges and the bottom
edges 3g of the rear wall 3b of the insulating part 3 when the sliding guide shoe
unit 1 is assembled.
[0036] The support part 4 is in cross-section suitably larger in its external dimensions
than the insulating part 3 in its internal dimensions. In this case when the support
part 4 is fitted inside the insulating part 3, the support part 4 precompresses the
insulating part 3 against the frame part 2, in which case the frame part 2, the insulating
part 3 and also the support part 4 remain firmly together.
[0037] The sliding part 5 is fitted inside the support part 4. The sliding part 5 comprises
side walls 5a that extend towards the front and a rear wall 5b between these. The
inner surfaces of the sliding part 5 function as sliding surfaces that follow the
guide rail. The sliding part 5 is manufactured from some very slippery material, such
as from a plastic. The top edges and the bottom edges of the side walls 4a of the
support part 4 are bent inwards such that they turn over the ends of the side walls
5a of the sliding part, in which case the sliding part 5 stays inside the support
part 4 well.
[0038] The insulating part 3 presses, owing to the precompression, firmly around the support
part 4 and the sliding part 5, in which case not even large lateral forces are able
in any phase to detach the insulating part 3 from the inner surfaces of the side walls
2c of the frame part 2 nor from the outer surfaces of the support part 4 and of the
sliding part 5.
[0039] When the elevator car moves the sliding part 5 of the sliding guide shoe 1 hits the
guide rail, in which case forces of different directions are exerted on it owing to,
among other things, the points of connection of the guide rails and from the fact
that the guide rails are not generally exactly straight. One purpose of the insulating
part 3 is to insulate the sliding part 5 from the frame part 2 and thereby to damp
the transmission to the elevator car of vibrations produced by forces exerted on the
sliding guide shoe. The insulating part 3 damps the vibrations owing to its elastic
material and owing to its shaping being suitable for the purpose.
[0040] Fig. 2 presents a sliding guide shoe unit 1 according to the invention as seen from
the front, i.e. as viewed from the direction of the guide rail. For the sake of clarity
the elastic insulating part 3 is presented in the figure as black.
[0041] Figs. 3-5 present a sliding guide shoe unit 1 according to the invention as different
cross-sectional views, as viewed both from the front and from the side. Fig. 3 has
sectioned the sliding guide shoe 1 at the center in the longitudinal direction. In
this case the frame part 2 is sectioned at the point of the necks 2g, in which case
the elasticity elements 3e of the outer surfaces of the side walls of the insulating
part 3 are not visible in the figure. Instead the elasticity elements 3c of the inner
surfaces of the side walls of the insulating part 3 are visible in Fig. 3, sectioned
at their thinnest point and disposed in the holes 4b of the side walls 4a of the support
part 4. Fig. 3 also visibly presents the internal protrusions 3f of the rear wall
3b of the insulating part 3 when they are disposed in the apertures 4e in the rear
wall 4d of the support part 4 as well as the external protrusions 3i when they are
disposed in the apertures 2e in the rear wall 2d of the frame part 2.
[0042] In Fig. 3 and also in Figs. 4 and 5 it is clearly seen that there is a clearance
between the rear surface of the rear wall 3b of the insulating part 3 and the front
surface of the rear wall 2d of the frame part 2 when the sliding guide shoe unit 1
is assembled into its operating position. In the situation presented by Fig. 4 this
clearance is greater than in the situation presented by Fig. 5. In the situation of
Fig. 4 the sliding guide shoe unit 1 is free from the compression of the guide rails,
e.g. in the installation phase, and the protrusions 3i are only slightly sunk into
the apertures 2e. In the situation of Fig. 5, however, the protrusions 3i have pressed
deeper into the apertures 2e. In this case e.g. the guide rail presses the sliding
part 5 towards the elevator car.
[0043] In elevator installations the distance of the mounting base of the sliding guide
shoe and the sliding surface 5c of the sliding part 5 that is against the guide rail
is precisely defined. In a normal installation the aforementioned distance is marked
in Fig. 5 with the reference L2. Since long guide rails are not straight, this defined
distance L2 is extremely difficult to implement and in connection with installation
it is necessary to use different washers between the frame of the sliding guide shoe
and the mounting base in order to achieve the required accuracy. In the solution according
to the invention this problem has been eliminated as a result of the construction
and shape of the sliding guide shoe unit 1 and of its parts. The structure now permits
placement of the sliding surface 5c of the sliding guide shoe in connection with installation
suitably farther, i.e. to the distance L1 instead of the defined distance L2, which
distance L1 is presented in Fig. 4. The distance L1 is e.g. between 0-3 mm greater
than the distance L2, suitably e.g. approx. 2 mm greater. In this case in connection
with installation the sliding surface 5c of the sliding guide shoe can be left to
be greater to the extent of the aforementioned difference, in which case the distance
L1 settles by itself to be correct, owing to the precompression of the insulating
part 3 and the shape construction, when the elevator has been installed.
[0044] Figs. 6-8 present in more detail the shapes of the side walls 3a of the insulating
part 3 as cross-sectional views. Figs. 7 and 8 present the insulating part 3 as black
and for the sake of clarity in Fig. 8 the second side wall of the insulating part
3 is omitted. The shape of the side wall 3a of the insulating part 3 presented in
Fig. 6 at the sectioning point of the wall is precisely optimized with a special calculation
method to suit its task in exactly this environment. The outer surface of the side
wall 3a comprises two elasticity means 3e that are consecutive in the longitudinal
direction, between which means in the center of the side wall 3a in the longitudinal
direction is a groove 3m in the height direction of the side wall, which groove is
dimensioned such that it fits at its sides tightly on top of the neck 2g in the side
wall of the frame part 2.
[0045] In the longitudinal direction both ends of the elasticity means 3e comprise compression
protrusions 3k and 31 that extend outwards from the outer surface of the side wall
3a and between the compression protrusions is a recess 3j with a curved base. In the
height direction, i.e. in the depth direction, of the side wall 3a the compression
protrusions 3k and 31 do not extend to the rear edge of the side wall 3a, as stated
already earlier, and the depth of said protrusions is smaller than the depth in the
same direction of the recesses 2f in the inner surface of the side walls 2c of the
frame part 2.
[0046] Correspondingly the inner surface of the side wall 3a comprises three elasticity
means 3d and 3c that are consecutive in the longitudinal direction. Both ends of the
side wall 3a comprise one elasticity means 3d and in the center in the longitudinal
direction is an elasticity means 3c. The elasticity means 3d at the ends extend for
their whole distance essentially evenly outwards from the inner surface, whereas the
elasticity means 3c is reminiscent of the elasticity means 3e of the outer surface,
and it comprises in the longitudinal direction at both ends of the elasticity means
3c compression protrusions 3n and 3p that extend outwards from the inner surface of
the side wall 3a and between the compression protrusions a recess 3o with a curved
base. In the height direction, i.e. in the depth direction, of the side wall 3a, the
compression protrusions 3d, 3n, 3p are in the center of the side wall 3a, in which
case they are at a distance from both the front edge and the rear edge of the side
wall 3a.
[0047] The thickness L3 of the side wall 3a of the insulating part 3 is at its greatest
at the point of the compression protrusions and is at its thinnest between them such
that when the side wall 3a is compressed under the effect of lateral forces, material
flows from the compression protrusions 3k, 31, 3d, 3n and 3p into the thinnest points,
i.e., into the recesses 3j and 3o, of the elasticity means 3c and 3e. At these points
there is an air pocket P in the unloaded structure. Compression occurs when assembling
the sliding guide shoe unit 1 and during a run of the elevator owing to the lateral
forces produced by the guide rail. Compression causes, among other things, the wall
thickness L3 of the side wall 3a at the point of the compression protrusions to be
greater than the distance L4 between the base of the recesses 2f on the inner surface
of the side wall 2c of the frame part 2 and the outer wall of the sliding part 5 in
a finally assembled sliding guide shoe unit. In this case precompression is involved.
The distance L4 is easily visible in Fig. 8, in which the second side wall of the
insulating part 3 has been removed. In Figs. 7 and 8 it is seen how the side walls
3a of the insulating part 3 are compressed at the point of the compression protrusions
between the side walls of the frame part 2 and the sliding part 5.
[0048] The recesses 2f still contain space at the point of the recesses of the elasticity
means 3e and correspondingly the apertures 4b still contain space at the point of
the recesses of the elasticity means 3c for the compressive effect of additional lateral
forces. If this type of lateral force caused by the guide rail pushes the sliding
part 5 in the lateral direction, e.g. in Figs. 7 and 8 to the left, the side wall
3a on the left-hand side compresses even more and simultaneously the compression of
the side wall on the right-hand side decreases, but owing to the precompression the
compression protrusions do not detach from the inner wall of the frame part 2 nor
from the outer wall of the sliding part 5, but instead contract in the longitudinal
direction of the sliding guide shoe towards their free shape. In this case the thickness
of the inner wall at the point of the compression protrusions increases with the widened
dimension L4, but owing to the precompression always remains smaller than L3. Thus,
owing to the precompression, the insulating part 3 remains firmly compressed around
the support part 4 and the sliding part 5, in which case they do not produce excessive
noise.
[0049] In the guide shoe arrangement according to the invention the elevator car is preferably
insulated from the guide rails via an insulating part 3 that is in a sliding guide
shoe and fitted to be movable. For example, shape-locking (e.g. 3i, 2e) allows the
insulating part to move at least in the lateral direction in relation to the frame
part. Despite the movement the precompression keeps both sides of the insulating part
and the frame part in continuous contact with each other, thus preventing the "resonating"
of the structure. The compression behavior resulting from the shaping of the insulating
part resists the aforementioned movement according to a preferred progression curve.
The movement is also able to originate preferably by pivoting in the manner described.
[0050] It is obvious to the person skilled in the art that different embodiments of the
invention are not only limited to the examples described above, but that they may
be varied within the scope of the claims presented below. Thus, for example, the structure
of the sliding guide shoe unit can be different to what is presented above.
[0051] It is also obvious to the person skilled in the art that the number and shape of
the elasticity means and of the compression protrusions can be different to what is
presented above. It is also obvious that the support part is not necessary in the
invention. The elastic insulating part can be in some advantageous point between the
sliding part and the frame part, e.g. directly between the frame part and the sliding
part, because the sliding part can be made sufficiently rigid to rest directly on
the elastic insulating part without a support part.
