Elevator display systems
Elevator cars are provided herein. The elevator cars include a wall panel defining part of a passenger space of the elevator car, two or more receiving rails arranged on an exterior of the wall panel, and an elevator display system having a viewing panel and an enclosure housing a display screen. The viewing panel is mounted to the wall panel on an interior of the wall panel and the enclosure is engageable with the receiving rails on the exterior of the wall panel such that the display screen is movably positioned relative to the viewing panel to be viewable from within the passenger space in an installed position.
EMBEDDED ENERGY STORAGE TO DRIVE CAR AND AUXILIARY SYSTEMS
An elevator system includes a primary power source configured to generate a first power. An elevator car includes an energy sub-system embedded therein. The energy sub-system is in electrical communication with the primary power source to buffer the first power and to generate a second power for powering a drive sub-system that drives the elevator car.
ULTRACAPACITOR POWERED CONSTRUCTION ELEVATOR
A construction elevator is provided. The construction elevator may include a car controller configured to direct the construction elevator to operate in a lifting operation or a descending operation. The construction elevator may further include a variable frequency drive coupled to a motor that are configured to operate the construction elevator in the lifting operation or the descending operation responsive to the direction of the car controller. Moreover, the construction elevator may include an onboard power source configured to provide power to the variable frequency drive and the motor to complete the lifting operation without needing to be recharged by an external power supply.
ELEVATOR DISPLAY SYSTEMS
Elevator cars are provided herein. The elevator cars include a wall panel defining part of a passenger space of the elevator car, two or more receiving rails arranged on an exterior of the wall panel, and an elevator display system having a viewing panel and an enclosure housing a display screen. The viewing panel is mounted to the wall panel on an interior of the wall panel and the enclosure is engageable with the receiving rails on the exterior of the wall panel such that the display screen is movably positioned relative to the viewing panel to be viewable from within the passenger space in an installed position.
Traveling cable sway prevention
An elevator system includes an elevator car movable along a hoistway, a traveling cable operably connected to the elevator car and movable along the hoistway with the elevator car, and a traveling cable support positioned in the hoistway and operably connected to the traveling cable to prevent sway of the traveling cable. A traveling cable and traveling cable support arrangement for an elevator system includes a traveling cable positioned in a hoistway and movable in the hoistway during elevator system operation, and a traveling cable support positioned in the hoistway and operably connected to the traveling cable to prevent sway of the traveling cable, the traveling cable support operably connected to the traveling cable via a plurality of guide frames.
TRAVELING CABLE SWAY PREVENTION
An elevator system includes an elevator car movable along a hoistway, a traveling cable operably connected to the elevator car and movable along the hoistway with the elevator car, and a traveling cable support positioned in the hoistway and operably connected to the traveling cable to prevent sway of the traveling cable. A traveling cable and traveling cable support arrangement for an elevator system includes a traveling cable positioned in a hoistway and movable in the hoistway during elevator system operation, and a traveling cable support positioned in the hoistway and operably connected to the traveling cable to prevent sway of the traveling cable, the traveling cable support operably connected to the traveling cable via a plurality of guide frames.
A SYSTEM AND A METHOD FOR DETECTING POSITION AND CONTROLLING SPEED OF AN ELEVATOR CABIN
A system (100) for detecting a position and controlling a speed of an elevator cabin (102) is disclosed. The system includes a plurality of light detection and ranging sensors (LiDAR) (104) and a shaft controller (110). The plurality of LiDAR is positioned at a ceiling (106) and at a floor (108) of the elevator (300), facing towards the elevating cabin. The plurality of LiDAR is configured to read and transmit, the distance of the elevator cabin from at least one of ground and a topmost position of the elevator and the speed of the elevator cabin by reading the distance travelled per unit of time. The shaft controller detects the position of the elevator cabin by receiving the distance from the plurality of LiDAR. The shaft controller also detects an overspeed condition when the speed of the elevator cabin received from the plurality of LiDAR is above safe threshold speed.
