Composition of sightseeing elevator

The sightseeing elevator, like most modern elevators, is mainly composed of a traction machine (winch), guide rails, counterweight device, safety devices (such as speed limiters, safety clamps, buffers, etc.), signal control systems, car doors and hall doors, etc. These components are installed in the shaft and machine room of the building respectively. Wire rope friction transmission is usually adopted. The wire rope passes around the traction wheel, and the two ends of the wire rope are connected to the car and counterweight respectively. The motor drives the traction wheel to lift the car. The elevator requires safety and reliability, high transportation efficiency, accurate floors, and comfortable ride. The basic parameters of the elevator mainly include rated load, number of passengers, rated speed, car section size and shaft type.

The traction system includes traction machine, traction sheave, reducer, brake, traction machine base, turning handwheel, etc. The traction sheave is generally installed on the load-bearing beam. The elevator traction machine is the driving mechanism for the operation of the elevator. It uses the load-bearing beam to bear all the loads (dynamic load and static load) of all reciprocating components through the traction sheave. The load-bearing beam is mostly an I-beam structure.

The suspension compensation system consists of all structural components such as traction rope, car and counterweight, compensation rope, tension pulley, etc. The elevator car and counterweight are the main components of the vertical operation of the elevator. The elevator car is a box-type container carrying passengers and goods.

The guide system includes guide rails and guide shoes, which are used to guide the vertical movement of the car and counterweight.

The electrical system is the control system of the elevator, including various contactors, relays, controllers and displays, etc.

Safety devices include speed limiters, safety clamps, buffers, various door safety devices, etc.

There are also screw-type sightseeing elevators on the market, which do not require digging pits and have their own shafts. The design is simple and beautiful. This type of elevator has no special requirements in civil engineering and has almost no restrictions on the height of the top floor. It can be installed in duplex apartments in duplex buildings and high-rise buildings, and the installation time is short.
