A position adjusting device and method for elevator frame, an elevator frame, and an elevator. The position adjusting device includes: a connection portion configured to be suitable for being selectively attached to a side surface of a vertical connection member for elevator frame; a matching portion extending on a plane perpendicular to the connection portion, and including one or more threaded through holes; and one or more adjusting mechanisms including a head and a threaded rod, the rod being configured to match the threaded through hole, and a tip of the rod being configured to be suitable for matching with the surface of a horizontal connection member for elevator frame.

A method of assembling an elevator car within an elevator hoistway, including installing a car frame onto the elevator hoistway, attaching a car base to the car frame, the car base forming a floor of the elevator car, setting spacers on a top surface of the car base, placing a car roof onto the spacers, the car roof including a first bracket and a second bracket, each bracket including a safety latch assembly, lifting the car roof until to a top position where each safety latch assembly engages a respective top surface of the car frame to fix the car roof to the car frame, the installing wall panels to the car base and to the car roof. As the car roof is lifted, the safety latches travel along a car frame structural vertical member and are maintained in a tensioned state by springs.

A sheet metal base panel for use in elevators is disclosed wherein the said base panel is made from sheet metal of low thickness without compromising its structural integrity, by a specialised hemming process. The said base panel is constructed from a single sheet of metal and incorporates the top and bottom header to form a unitary component. The construction is such that the headers can be positioned either way and hence possesses rotational symmetry which enables in easier installation. This is achieved by a special bending of the base panel on all edges of both the top side and bottom side, four times—a first 90° bending (1a) followed by a second 90° bending (1b), a third 90° bending (1c) and a fourth 180° hemming (1d) of the open edge formed after the third 90° bending (1c).

An elevator system may include a car that is movable in an elevator shaft. The car may include a frame and a cabin. The elevator system may also comprise a first linear motor with a first primary part and a first secondary part. The first primary part of the first linear motor may be arranged on a first rail that is disposed in the elevator shaft. The frame may also include a first drive beam on which the first secondary part is disposed. The frame may further include a first lower beam for supporting the cabin and a first connecting segment that connects the first lower beam to the first drive beam.

Embodiments are directed to protecting an elevator. A plurality of knobs may be provided, each respective knob comprising a respective base having a vertical portion, a horizontal portion, a suspension portion, and a face that are coupled to each other. Each knob may also comprise a respective stem coupled to the face of the respective base. The knobs may be hung from an upper edge of a wall panel or suspended ceiling grid in an elevator. A cover may be provided, the cover having a plurality of openings in the cover disposed along the upper edge of the cover. The cover may be hung from the knobs with each knob having the distal end portion of the respective stem extending through a respective one of the openings in the cover.

An illustrative example elevator assembly includes a header beam and a first elevator cab supported by the header beam. A plurality of vertically oriented rods extend beneath the first elevator cab. A horizontally oriented mid-beam is coupled to a first one of the rods near a first end of the mid-beam and coupled to a second one of the rods near a second end of the mid-beam. A second elevator cab is situated beneath the first elevator cab and beneath the mid-beam. At least one linear actuator is supported at least partially on the mid-beam. The linear actuator selectively causes vertical movement of the second elevator cab relative to the rods.

A control system and method for elevator-waiting position of a robotic passenger. A control system for elevator-waiting position of a robotic passenger includes: a detection device configured to detect whether a first-choice elevator-waiting position has been occupied; and a position allocation unit configured to if the first-choice elevator-waiting position is not occupied, determine the first-choice elevator-waiting position as a target elevator-waiting position; and if the first-choice elevator-waiting position has been occupied, determine a candidate elevator-waiting position as the target elevator-waiting position or issue a prompt.

An elevator car defining an interior space for accommodating passengers includes an openable roof, horizontal roof guide rails arranged on a top side of the elevator car, a support structure pivotably mounted to the guide rails by a first joint, and a working platform pivotably and movably mounted to the support structure by a second joint arranged at a distance from the first joint. The working platform is pivotable between a retracted position, in which said working platform is oriented close to the guide rails in the top side of the elevator car, and a deployed position, in which the working platform is in the interior space, at a distance from the guide rails. The first joint is arranged movable along the guide rails.

An elevator car roof system is provided for monitoring safety of a service access located on an elevator car roof. The elevator car roof system may monitor a change in an opening state of the elevator car roof. Positions of a plurality of roof panels may indicate when the elevator car roof is partially open, fully open or fully closed. The positions of the roof panels may cause at least one sensor of the elevator car roof system to provide a signal to a control system of the elevator. Further, the elevator car roof system may detect if there is an object on the roof. Based on the detected object on the roof, the elevator car roof system may provide at least one signal to enable controlling operation of the elevator.

The present disclosure relates to a carriage lift assembly including a mast member, a top and bottom bearing assembly, one or more belt members, one or more belt tensioner assemblies, and one or more carriage assemblies. Each belt tensioner assembly defines a first clamping block and a second clamping block for securing a first and a second end, respectively, of a belt member to provide initial tension, and a pair of bolt members adjusted to move a slidable plate member upon which the second block is coupled to provide final tension. Each carriage assembly is removably attached to a corresponding belt tensioner assembly, and defines a center plate and two side plates. Each side plate defines at least a removable set of guiding wheels and a first set of guiding members.
