Landing lever assembly of a pneumatic vacuum elevator and method to operate the same
A landing lever assembly of a pneumatic vacuum elevator is disclosed. The assembly includes a landing lever plate coupled on a roof of an elevator cabin. The assembly also includes a locking plate coupled to the landing lever plate using a plurality of support plates. The assembly further includes a solenoid valve disposed on the landing lever plate and mechanically coupled to the locking plate using a guide pin, where the guide pin is configured to actuate the locking plate by sliding within the solenoid valve, in at least one operational mode, based on an activation signal received from a magnetic sensor.
Parking brake
A brake device for an elevator system generates a friction grip on an elevator rail and includes two legs with brake ends. The first leg is connected to a first articulation point of a transmission lever that has, located at a distance in a longitudinal direction from the first articulation point, a second articulation point that is connected to a first pivot of a pressure lever. The second leg is connected to a second pivot of the pressure lever. A third pivot of the pressure lever is connected to an articulation point of an actuating element (crank rod) whereby a longitudinal movement of the actuating element moves the brake device between a braking position with the brake ends spaced apart a minimum distance, and an opened position with the brake ends spaced apart a maximum distance. The actuating element longitudinal movement is predefined by first and second end points.
Elevator car dynamic sag damping system
A damping device for damping movement of a parked car in an elevator system includes a base plate and at least one damping assembly connected to the base plate. The damping assembly includes a flange extending from the base plate, a support member arranged at a distance from the flange, and at least one damping mechanism having a first end connected to the flange and a second end connected to the support member. The at least one damping assembly restricts movement of the support member toward the flange.

STABILIZING DEVICE OF ELEVATOR CAR AND AN ELEVATOR SYSTEM
A stabilizing device of an elevator car and an elevator system. The stabilizing device include a first frame body, a second frame body, a left electromagnetic block, a right electromagnetic block, a left damper and a right damper, wherein the left electromagnetic block and the right electromagnetic block are mounted within the second frame body in a limiting manner in an up-down direction and are moveable in a left-right direction, and the left damper and the right damper are arranged in the up-down direction. The fixed end of the left damper and the fixed end of the right damper are mounted within the second frame body in a limiting manner in the up-down direction, and the movable ends of the left damper and the right damper are connected to the first frame body and are moveable upwardly and downwardly together with the first frame body.
CALIPER BRAKE FOR AN ELEVATOR SYSTEM USED AS A HOLDING AND SAFETY BRAKE
An elevator system caliper brake includes first and second brake levers each with a brake pad wherein the brake levers move the brake pads relative to one another along an actuation axis. The first brake lever is rotatably mounted at a stationary first mounting point at a housing of the brake, and the second brake lever is rotatably mounted at a second mounting point on an intermediate lever that is rotatably mounted at the brake housing. A tension element can be moved approximately parallel to an actuation axis and is connected to the brake levers at mounting points between the respective brake pads and the brake lever mounting points. A closing spring moves the first and second brake levers to decrease the distance between the brake pads and a linear spindle drive connected to the intermediate lever selectively counteracts the closing spring to increase the distance between the brake pads.
