The present invention relates to a balancing apparatus and a balancing system including the same.
In general, elevators used in a building such as a residential building and a commercial building have a hoist way formed vertically inside the building, and an elevator car and a balancing weight travel up and down along the hoist way to move passengers or cargo.
Accordingly, a problem that a required area of the hoist way is occupied as much as a traveling distance of the elevator car and the balancing weight, and thus the exclusive area of the building is reduced, and the economic loss has been increased exponentially due to the enlargement of the building and the increase in construction costs, which has been a problem that poses a heavy burden on the building owner.
In order to solve these problems, the applicant's prior registered patents, Korean Patent No. 10-1817143 B1 and Korean Patent No. 10-1917222 B1, proposed an invention to shorten a traveling distance of a balancing weight by increasing a diameter of an elevator rope winding drum, and by reducing a diameter of a balancing weight rope winding drum, or by arranging a gear between the elevator rope winding drum and the balancing weight rope winding drum.
However, in this case, a problem that it is necessary to increase arises a load of the balancing weight arises.
Specifically, when a load of the elevator car is applied to the outside of the elevator rope winding drum with a large diameter and a load of the balancing weight is applied to the outside of the balancing weight rope winding drum balancing weight with a small diameter, a problem that the load of the balancing weight should be increased to offset this torque difference arises because a shaft to which the elevator rope winding drum is connected takes a greater torque than a shaft to which the balancing weight rope winding drum is connected.

In addition,
Referring to
The conventional balancing weight may be replaced by the balancing apparatus 10 of the embodiment, and a space in which the balancing weight moves may be eliminated, thereby realizing space saving.
For example, when the elevator winding drum 20 receives a force in a first direction due to a weight of the elevator car 30, the balancing apparatus 10 may apply with respect to the elevator winding drum 20 in an opposite direction to the first direction.
Specifically, the balancing apparatus 10 may include the elevator winding drum 20 connected to the elevator car 30; a pair of center gear part 100 connected to a first driving shaft L1 of the elevator winding drum 20 and rotating in contact with each other, and a pair of outer gear parts 200 each rotating in contact with the pair of center gear part 100.
In this case, when the elevator winding drum 20 receives the force in the first direction by the elevator car 30, the center gear part 100 may apply force with respect to the elevator winding drum 20 in the opposite direction to the first direction by the force applied from the outer gear part 200.
In the embodiment illustrated in
However, the spirit of the present invention is not limited thereto, and the direction of the first direction may change according to the relative positions of the elevator car 30 and the elevator winding drum 20.
The elevator car 30 may be disposed on a lower portion between two elevator winding drums 20, 20′. However, a position at which the elevator car 30 is disposed is not limited thereto.
The elevator winding drum 20 and the center gear part 100 may be connected through the first driving shaft L1. That is, the center gear part 100 and the elevator winding drum 20 are relatively fixed through the first driving shaft L1, and thus, when the center gear part 100 receives the force from the outer gear part 200, the same force may be applied to the elevator winding drum 20.
The pair of center gear part 100 may include a first center gear 110 connected to the first driving shaft L1, and a second center gear 120 engaged with the first center gear 110.
In addition, the pair of outer gear part 200 may include a first outer gear 210 engaged with the first center gear 110, and a second outer gear 220 engaged with the second center gear 120.
In addition, the first center gear 110 and the second center gear 120 may be fixed in the vertical direction, and the first outer gear 210 and the second outer gear 220 may be provided to be movable in the vertical direction.
The pair of outer gear parts 200 may act as a lever principle with respect to the pair of center gear part 100. For example, when a load is applied downward to the moving part 400, as the first outer gear 210 presses the center gear part 100 downward, the first outer gear 210 may rotate clockwise and the first center gear 110 may rotate counterclockwise.
In addition, the force applied to the center gear part 100 by the outer gear part 200 may vary according to relative positions of the outer gear part 200 and the center gear part 100.
The center gear part 100 and the outer gear part 200 may be formed of a material such as resin rubber, alloy, or the like. However, the spirit of the present invention is not limited thereto and may include the outer gear part 200 being formed of various materials.
Here, the vertical direction is the gravity direction and may be understood as a z-axis direction based on
The outer gear part 200 may apply a force in a downward direction (−z direction) with respect to the center gear part 100.
Specifically, the balancing apparatus 10 may further include a moving part 400 relatively movable with the center gear part 100 in a state being connected with the outer gear part 200 and a load control part 510 capable of applying a load to the moving part 400 (the moving part 400 is excluded in
The load control part 510 may be fixed at an upper side of a support part 700, and the moving part 400 may vertically move relative to the support part 700 through a roller 600.
Here, the load control part 510 is a piston cylinder and may use hydraulic pressure, air pressure, or spring tension. The load control part 510 may be applied with a force through the power part 520.
That is, when pressure is applied to the power part 520, the load control part 510 may press the balancing weight 410 and the moving part 400 connected thereto in the downward direction.
Accordingly, the outer gear part 200 connected to the moving part 400 may offset a force applied to the elevator winding drum 20 from the elevator car 30 by applying the force to the center gear part 100.
For example, as the elevator car 30 becomes heavier, the force applied to the elevator winding drum 20 may be offset by applying more pressure to the load control part 510 from the load control part 510 or by increasing a load of the balancing weight 410 itself.
The balancing apparatus 10 of the present embodiment may be used in various other devices as well as a device for balancing the elevator car 30.
A power control box 524 may be disposed at one side of the power part 520.
The power control box 524 may include a sensor capable of detecting a weight applied to the balancing weight 410 and may automatically offset a relative weight applied to the balancing weight 410 by using air pressure.
In addition, a control valve 526 may be disposed at one side of the power part 520, the control valve 526 may adjust hydraulic or air pressure applied from the power part 520 to the load control part 510, and the load applied to the balancing weight 410 may be automatically controlled by adjusting the hydraulic or air pressure applied to the load control part 510.
In addition, the balancing apparatus 10 may include an auxiliary gear 300 engaged with the center gear part 100.
The auxiliary gear 300 may be spaced apart from the outer gear part 200 and disposed to engage with the center gear part 100.
For example, the auxiliary gear 300 may include a first auxiliary gear 310 engaged with the first center gear 110 but spaced apart from the first outer gear 210 and a second auxiliary gear 320 engaged with the second center gear 120 but spaced apart from the second outer gear 220.
Here, a large diameter may be provided to be larger in the order of the center gear part 100, the outer gear part 200, and the auxiliary gear 300.
The first auxiliary gear 310 may be disposed at an upper side of the first outer gear 210, and the second auxiliary gear 320 may be disposed at an upper side of the second outer gear 220 (see
In addition, the balancing system 1 of the present embodiment may include a plurality of elevator winding drums 20.
For example, one elevator winding drum 20 may be disposed on the first driving shaft L1 connected to the first center gear 110, and the other elevator winding drum 20′ may be disposed on the second driving shaft L2 connected to the second center gear 120.
In the embodiment, the second driving shaft L2 may be rotated clockwise or counterclockwise as necessary.
In addition, the balancing system 1 of the present embodiment may include a deceleration motor 61 capable of decelerating the first driving shaft L1, a first break 62 capable of stopping the first driving shaft L1, and a second break 64 capable of stopping the second driving shaft L2.
The first break 62 and the second break 64 may operate automatically depending on the sensor. For example, the sensor may be disposed on at least one of the balancing apparatus 10, the elevator car 30, and the elevator winding drum 20, and when a situation (emergency situation) in which operation should be stopped is detected by the sensor, the first break 62 and the second break 64 may operate to stop the first driving shaft L1 and the second driving shaft L2.
In addition, the balancing system 1 may include a wire guiding device 40, and the wire guiding device 40 may be connected to a third driving shaft L3.

The connection between the first connection gear 52 and the second connection gear 54 may include connection by a chain belt, as well as gears.
A wire wound around the elevator winding drum 20 may be wound and unwound smoothly by the wire guiding device 40.
A rope guiding part 48 may be disposed at one side of the wire guiding device 40. In the present embodiment, the rope guiding part 48 is described being placed at an upper side of the wire guiding device 40 as an example, but a position at which the rope guiding part 48 is disposed is not limited thereto.
The rope guiding part 48 may move parallel (along the X-axis direction) with the third driving shaft L3.
By disposing the rope guiding part 48, as the elevator winding drum 20′ rotates, the wire wound around thereto may be smoothly wound and unwound.
Similarly, the first connection gear 52 may be disposed on a sixth driving shaft L6, the second connection gear 54 may be disposed on the first driving shaft L1, and the first connection gear 52 and the second connection gear 54 may be engaged with each other.
The wire guiding device 40 may be disposed on the sixth driving shaft L6, and the rope guiding part 48 may be disposed at one side of the wire guiding device 40. As such, by disposing the rope guiding part 48 at one side of the wire guiding device 40, as the elevator winding drum 20′ rotates, the wire wound around the elevator winding drum 20′ may be smoothly wound and unwound.
Here, the first driving shaft L1, the second driving shaft L2, the third driving shaft L3, and the sixth driving shaft L6 may be disposed parallel to each other.
On both sides of first driving shaft L1, second driving shaft L2, third driving shaft L3, fourth driving shaft L4, fifth driving shaft L5, and sixth driving shaft L6 described above, a support member is formed to rotatably support the corresponding driving shaft. Similarly, on both sides of the driving shaft to be described later, a support member is formed to rotatably support the corresponding driving shaft. Such a support member may be understood by known technologies.
Hereinafter, the force applied from the balancing apparatus 10 to the elevator winding drum 20 is describe in more detail.
When the moving part 400 is moved down by the load control part 510 connected to the balancing weight 410 or the power part 520, the outer gear part 200 and the auxiliary gear 300 may rotate the center gear part 100.
Specifically, the first center gear 110 may rotate counterclockwise, and the second center gear 120 may rotate clockwise (see
In addition, the outer gear part 200 and the auxiliary gear 300 may maintain the force applied from the elevator car 30 by pressing the center gear part 100 downward.
In addition, a first buffer device 910 may be disposed at a lower end of the moving part 400. The first buffer device 910 may prevent the moving part 400 from colliding with the ground.
The moving part 400 may be provided in metal to apply a load to the outer gear part 200 and the auxiliary gear 300.

In addition, the connection rope may be connected to the balancing bar 810 through a first roller 832 and a second roller 834 which are located at an upper side of the balancing bar 810.
In this case, a force applied from the balancing bar 810 to the power connection part 70 may vary according to the position of the moving weight 819.
As the first driving shaft L1 rotates, the connection rope may be wound or unwound, and accordingly, the balancing bar 810 may vertically move.
The first roller 832 and the second roller 834 may be fixed to the fixing part and may move the plurality of connection ropes by rotation.
Here, the fixing part may include an upper fixing part 822 in which a first roller 832 and a second roller 834 are disposed, a side fixing part 824 in which a guide is installed so that the balancing bar 810 may vertically, and a lower fixing part 826 in which a buffer device 920 is disposed.

In addition, the force applied from the auxiliary balancing device 80 to the elevator winding drum 20 may vary according to the position where the moving weight 819 is disposed on the balancing bar 810.
For example, the greater a distance between the first fixing part 812 and the moving weight 819 disposed on the balancing bar 810 becomes (the longer X1), the greater the force applied by the auxiliary balancing device 80 to the elevator winding drum 20 may become. Similarly, the closer the length of the first fixing part 812 and the moving weight 819 disposed on the balancing bar 810 becomes, the smaller the force applied by the auxiliary balancing device 80 to the elevator winding drum 20 may become.
In addition, the first fixing part 812 may be provided to move from the balancing bar 810, and in this case, the force applied to the elevator winding drum 20 may vary as a distance between the second fixing part 814 and the first fixing part 812 changes.

In addition, the moving weight 819 disposed on the balancing bar 810 may move in a horizontal direction (a y-axis direction).
In addition, the weight (e.g., the weight of the elevator car 30, a weight applied to the first connection rope R1, the second connection rope R2, the third connection rope R3, etc.) may be detected by the sensor and the moving weight 819 may automatically move left and right.
In addition, a fourth roller 854 may be disposed on the balancing bar 810 which is spaced apart from the moving weight 819 to one side.
The fourth roller 854 may be disposed on the balancing bar 810 spaced apart from the moving weight 819 to the other side, and a moving weight movement line 862 may connect the moving weight 819 and the fourth roller 854 disposed on both sides of the moving weight 819.
