Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to an elevator accessory, in particular to an elevator landing door lock device. The present invention further relates to an elevator landing door device.

Description of Related Art

[0002] With the increase of elevator accidents, people are paying increasingly more attention to elevator safety. Chinese standard regulations for the elevator industry are further improved after 2016. In the new Chinese national standard 5.10.1.2.2, it is clearly stipulated that "in the hoist well, machinery spaces, and pulley rooms, a protective enclosure (cover) shall be used to prevent direct contact with electrical equipment. The degree of protection provided by the used enclosure (cover) is at least IP2X". Additionally, in 5.3.9.1.3, it is stipulated that "The element of the electric safety device proving the locked condition of the door panel(s) shall be positively operated without any intermediate mechanism by the locking element". The locking of the landing door lock is confirmed by the electrical safety device in accordance with the national standard, that is, the electrical safety device on the landing door lock needs to satisfy the protection degree of IP2X.

[0003] According to the GB4208-2008 degree of protection provided by enclosures, the protection degree of IP2X needs to satisfy the following two points:

1. preventing access of fingers to a hazardous part, wherein an articulated test finger with the diameter of 12 mm and the length of 80 mm shall have a sufficient clearance with the hazardous part; and

2. preventing ingress of a solid foreign matter, wherein a spherical object probe with the diameter of 12.5 mm shall not be completely enterable into the enclosure.

[0004] For the size of the articulated test finger, reference may be made to "GB4208-2008 Degree of Protection Provided by Enclosures".

[0005] The linkage between the car door and landing door generally consists of a door vane on the car side and a door roller on the landing door side, thereby implementing the operation of opening and closing the elevator doors. Thus, the door operator vanes can be classified into two types, i.e., synchronous door vanes and asynchronous door vanes. Regarding the synchronous door vanes, the door vanes first implement the operation of clamping the landing door roller, and then the car door and the landing door are linked together; regarding the asynchronous door vanes, the door vanes and the car door move at the same time, and the car door generally moves for a certain distance before the car door and the landing door are linked together. When the door is closed to a certain position, the asynchronous door vanes may release the linkage with the landing door before the landing door is fully closed. In this case, it may happen that the landing door lock is first translated without being controlled by the car door vanes and then the rotating hook is rotated to the locking position.

[0006] Currently, the landing door device with the core of synchronous door vanes generally uses the pin-type in-position switch shown in FIG. 1 as an electrical safety device, wherein the pin 1-1 is mounted at the landing door lock hook, and the contact body 1-2 is fixed to the frame of landing door device fixing member. When the landing door lock is locked, the pin 1-1 is inserted into the contact body 1-2, and the switch is switched on. The enclosure of such the pin-type in-position switch satisfies the national standard requirement that the degree of protection is at least IP2X.

[0007] In the industry, the electrical safety device used in and the protective cover of the landing door device with the core of asynchronous door vanes are shown in FIG. 2a and FIG. 2b, wherein the structures are similar to that described above, with the stationary contact being exposed outside the housing of the electrical installation device. Therefore, a protective cover is required for implementing the IP2X protection. However, a motion space is required because of the relative motion between the stationary and movable contacts. Thus, it is still difficult to satisfy the national standard requirement that the degree of protection is at least IP2X even if a protective cover is configured.

[0008] In addition, because of the different operation modes of the synchronous door vane landing door device and the asynchronous door vane landing door device, the door lock of the synchronous door vane landing door device performs only a rotational motion, and the door lock of the asynchronous door vane landing door device sometimes needs to first perform a translational motion and then a rotational motion. Thus, the pin-type in-position switch is not applicable for mounting on the asynchronous door vane landing door device as an electrical safety device of the landing door lock for the reasons described above.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0023] FIG. 4 to FIG.10 show the first and second embodiments of an elevator landing door lock device of the present invention. The elevator landing door lock device of the present invention comprises a contact switch 5, a connector 6, a rotating hook 3, a fixed lock hook 4, and a contact switch 5, wherein the fixed lock hook 4 is mounted on a mounting plate 14, the mounting plate 14 is fixed on an frame body of landing door device 1; and the connector 6 is fixed on the rotating hook 3, the rotating hook 3 is fixed on a driving door hanging plate 2.

[0024] As shown in FIG. 8, an insulating housing 7 is arranged vertically, a central partition 7d is disposed in the insulating housing 7, the central partition 7d divides the insulating housing 7 into two parallel through grooves 7b and 7c extending in the vertical direction; an insulating sheath 25 is disposed outside the insulating housing 7, two wings and the central partition 7d of the insulating housing 7 are fixedly sleeved with the insulating sheath 25, thereby forming an open groove for rotation and translation of the connector 6; and the upper end width of the open groove is limited to be less than 12 mm, which is set to 11.5 mm in this embodiment, the shortest distance of this portion (an upper end of a groove body shown in FIG. 8 of the open groove from a live part is h.

[0025] A first protruding block 25a and a second protruding block 25b are formed on the insulating sheath 25, a middle portion G of the groove body is formed, a projection distance of the middle portion G in the z-direction is set to 11 mm, preventing ingress of a small ball with the diameter of 12.5 mm; and the first protruding block 25a and the second protruding block 25b can limit an ingress direction of an articulated test finger, the articulated test finger with the diameter of 12 mm cannot pass through the middle portion G to touch the live part.

[0026] Since a lower end of the open groove does not pass through the connector 6, the second protruding block 25b is configured to make the lower end widths b1 and b2 of the two open grooves smaller, which are set to 7.5 mm in this embodiment, and the shortest distance of this portion of the open groove from the live part is greater than 7 mm.

[0027] A rotating hook avoidance space 25c is formed at a lower end of the insulating housing 7 such that the rotating hook 3 can be rotated and translated into or out from the contact switch 5.

[0028] As shown in FIG. 4, a distance x of the bottom of the contact switch 5 from the fixed lock hook 4 is set to be less than 12 mm. Neither the articulated test finger with the diameter of 12 mm nor the small ball with the diameter of 12.5 mm can touch the live part.

[0029] As shown in FIG. 9 and FIG. 10, the connector 6 comprises a conductive block 13 and an insulating block 12, the conductive block 13 is U-shaped and extends in the vertical direction, the insulating block 12 completely covers an upper surface of the conductive block 13 and partially surrounds a side surface and a lower surface of the conductive block 13; and the conductive block 13 is made of a bent conductive metal material. A bending edge of the bending surface is parallel to the groove direction of the through groove. Since the volume of the conductive block is small and a bending inner cavity is thus also small, the conductive block of such the shape needs to be formed by stamping the conductive metal material with upper and lower correspondences with a die, and additionally, the vertical degree of the bending edge extending in the vertical direction needs to be ensured, so as to avoid rubbing and touching with the through groove. The conductive block of such the structure saves the material, thereby reducing costs.

[0030] FIG. 11 and FIG. 12 show conductive blocks in the third and fourth embodiments of the present invention. The conductive block 13 is made of a bent conductive metal material. The bending edge of the conductive block is perpendicular to the groove direction of the through groove, in which case the bending inner cavity is relatively large, so processing can be performed by means of an ordinary bending machine; and additionally, the bending edge extending in the vertical direction is not parallel to the groove direction of the through groove, so a small requirement is imposed on the vertical degree of the bending edge extending in the vertical direction. From the perspective of a material usage amount and a processing difficulty, this embodiment is more advantageous than embodiments 1 and 2.

[0031] The insulating block 12 consists of an upper insulating block 22 and a lower insulating block 23, the lower insulating block 23 fixes the conductive block 13 to the upper insulating block 22; and the lower insulating block 23 is fixed on the upper insulating block 22 by means of snap joint.

[0032] When a conductive surface of the conductive block 13 of the connector 6 is in contact with a conductive surface of the contact of the contact switch 5, the conductive block 13 enters into the groove of the insulating housing 7, and an opening at the end of the contact assembly 5 allows ingress and egress of a jaw of the connector 6. A clearance formed between the insulating block 12 of the connector 6 and the insulating housing 7 of the contact switch 5 and the insulating sheath 25 is limited to be less than 4 mm, which is set to 2 mm in this embodiment.

[0033] As shown in FIG. 4 to FIG. 8, when the connector 6 switches on the contact 9 of the contact switch 5, live bodies such as a leaf spring 8, the contact 9, a pressing plate 10, and a screw fastener 11 of the contact switch 5 and the conductive body of the connector 6 are located in a space formed by the insulating housing 7, the insulating sheath 25, the lower insulating block 23, and the rotating hook 3. The articulated test finger with the diameter of 12 mm cannot touch these live parts, and the ball with the diameter of 12.5 mm rolls outside the insulating housing 7 and the insulating block 12, without a contact with these parts.

[0034] When the landing door is closed, the protection degree of IP2X is achieved by means of the insulating housing 7, the insulating sheath 25, the rotating lock hook 3, and the insulating block 12. When the landing door is opened, the connector 6 leaves with the door hanging plate, the conductive block 13 of the connector 6 is no longer live, and the insulating housing 7, the insulating sheath 25, and the fixed lock hook 4 can also achieve IP2X protection.

[0035] As shown in FIG. 3, an elevator landing door device of the present invention comprises an frame body of landing door device 1, a driving door hanging plate 2, a driven door hanging plate 15, a wire rope pulley 16, a wire rope 17, a first wire rope mounting base 18, a second wire rope mounting base 19, and the landing door guide rail 20.

[0036] The landing door guide rail 20 is fixedly connected to the frame body of landing door device 1; the driving door hanging plate 2 and the driven door hanging plate 15 can move horizontally on the landing door guide rail 20; the driving door hanging plate 2 and the driven door hanging plate 15 are respectively connected to the wire rope 17 by means of the first wire rope mounting base 18 and the second wire rope mounting base 19; and the wire rope 17 passes around the two wire rope pulleys 16 to form a loop.

[0037] The contact switch 5 and the fixed lock hook 4 are fixed on the frame body of landing door device 1 by means of the mounting plate 14; and the connector 6 is fixed on the rotating hook 3, the rotating hook 3 is fixed on the driving door hanging plate 2.

[0038] When the landing door is closed, the driving door hanging plate 2 and the driven door hanging plate 15 synchronously get close to each other under the effect of the wire rope 17, the rotating hook 3 engages with the fixed lock hook 4, and a landing door lock is locked. In this case, the connector 6 enters into the through grooves 7b and 7c of the insulating housing 7, the conductive body 13 of the connector 6 applies a force to the contact 9, the leaf spring 8 serving as an elastic element thus is deformed under the effect of the force and accumulates elastic potential energy, then displacement of the contact 9 occurs therewith, the contact is switched on, and an electrical safety device issues a landing door lock locking signal. In this case, neither the articulated test finger with the diameter of 12 mm nor the small ball with the diameter of 12.5 mm can contact the live contact 9.

[0039] When the landing door is gradually opened, the driving door hanging plate 2 and the driven door hanging plate 15 are synchronously separated from each other under the effect of the wire rope 17, the rotating hook 3 leaves the fixed lock hook 4 after translation and rotation, and the landing door lock is opened. In this case, the connector 6 separates from the contact 9 after relative translation, the force applied to the contact 9 by the conductive body 13 of the connector 6 disappears, the leaf spring 8 releases the elastic potential energy and is restored to an initial state, and the contact 9 is also restored to an initial state. During this process, neither the articulated test finger with the diameter of 12 mm nor the small ball with the diameter of 12.5 mm can contact the contact 9.

[0040] The present invention can be applied not only to a synchronous door vane landing door device but also an asynchronous door vane landing door device.

[0041] The present invention is described in detail above by means of specific implementations and embodiments, which are not intended to limit the present invention. Those skilled in the art could further make many variations and improvements without departing from the principles of the present invention, which, however, also fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
