An elevator shaft element, an elevator arrangement and a method of a construction time use elevator. The elevator shaft element comprises a frame module arranged for receiving an elevator car therein. The frame module is constructed from a transport and/or storage unit, comprising side walls, a bottom wall and a roof wall. The unit is arrangeable vertically such that said side walls, bottom wall and upper wall of the unit define an inner space of the elevator shaft. The side wall, the bottom wall or the upper wall of the transport and/or storage unit is opened at a length more than a floor height of a building for providing an opening for one or more landing doors, the opening having a first side-edge and a second side-edge parallel to longitudinal direction of the transport and/or storage unit. The elevator shaft element further comprises at least one stiffening beam arranged to be fixed to the opening and extending from the first side-edge to the second side-edge.

The present invention is a kind of bulk lifting transportation system applied in buildings, which relates to the elevator technology field and the construction field. It includes a lift shaft, and the lift shaft is provided with a driving mechanism, a reversing mechanism, and its transportation belt. The driving mechanism and the reversing mechanism are respectively arranged at the two ends of the lift shaft, and the conveyor belt bypasses the reversing mechanism and is connected with the driving mechanism; The conveyor belt is provided with loading devices for placing stuff at intervals. The number of loading devices is the same as the number of floors of the building, and the distance between adjacent loading devices is equal to the distance between adjacent pick-up openings; The process of connecting and separating greatly saves the time required for single lifting transportation and can significantly improve transportation efficiency.

The invention relates to a construction arrangement of an elevator, comprising a hoistway in a building, the hoistway comprising a hoistway opening, the opening delimited by lower and upper edge structures; a load in the hoistway lower than said opening; a hoisting arrangement for hoisting said load, said hoisting arrangement comprising a support structure higher than said load; a hoisting device; and flexible tension member connected to said load; the flexible tension member being movable with said hoisting device to hoist the load by a hoisting force. Said support structure comprises an anchoring beam structure comprising a lower end engaging the lower edge structure, and an upper end engaging the upper edge structure; and a support beam structure connected to the anchoring beam structure, protruding from the anchoring beam structure into the hoistway; said flexible tension member hanging in the hoistway supported by the support beam structure.

A hydraulic elevating platform having no guide rails and an elevating method. A hydraulic power pack drives three parallel hydraulic cylinders to work synchronously, thereby implementing the rising and falling of an elevating platform; when the elevating platform reaches a predetermined floor, an upper electric pushrod pushes a pedal assembly out, and then the pedal assembly drives a pedal to rise by means of a pedal elevating system until the pedal is flush with the surface of a loading table of the elevating platform; outward-swinging doors between the elevating platform and a floor open to form pedal guardrails; then sliding doors open and a man can step onto a stair via the pedal assembly. An eccentric loading adjusting means eliminates eccentric loading to achieve balance about the center of gravity, thereby eliminating the eccentric loading of the platform. The elevating platform is simple in structure, safe, reliable, and easy to maintain. The elevating platform, placed within a spiral stair, is convenient for movement of crowds and cargo delivery at certain scenarios and is widely applicable. The elevating method is simple to implement and effectively solves the eccentric loading problem caused by reasons such as outstretching of a pedal of a hydraulic elevating platform and uneven distribution of people on the elevating platform, so that the hydraulic elevating platform is more stable and reliable during operation.
