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.

An elevator car comprising a passenger cab and a robot cab, the robot cab is configured to accommodate at least one autonomous robot; wherein the robot cab includes: a robot cab controller configured to receive elevator call requests from the at least one autonomous robot and a coupling mechanism configured to couple the robot cab to the passenger cab.

An elevator car of an elevator system includes a car body and a car frame supportive of the car body. The car frame includes two opposing side frames, each side frame formed from a plurality of side frame segments, including two upright members and one or more upright braces connecting the two upright members, adjacent side frame segments secured to each other via a joint. A method of installation of an elevator car of an elevator system includes positioning a first side frame segment of a plurality of side frame segments adjacent to second side frame segment of the plurality of side frame segments, and securing the first side frame segment to the second side frame segment via a splice joint thereby constructing a car frame of the elevator car. One or more car bodies are installed into the car frame.

An elevator car of an elevator system includes a car body, and a car frame supportive of the car body. The car frame includes two or more opposing upright assemblies, a crosshead assembly located above the car body, and a plank assembly located below the car body. A plurality of seismic retainers are located at each of the upright assemblies. The plurality of seismic retainers are configured for a non-contact relationship with a guide rail of the elevator system during normal operation of the elevator system, and configured to react guide rail loads during a sway event via contact with the guide rail.

An adjacent safety configuration for an elevator includes a second pair of safeties displaced from a first pair of safeties by at least 0.1 seconds of travel time at a rated speed of the elevator. An adjacent safety configuration for an elevator including a second pair of safeties displaced from the first pair of safeties to provide a predetermined time period before the second pair of safeties pass over a point on a guide rail previously passed over by the first pair of safeties to permit the guide rail surface to decrease by a predetermined temperature. A method of spacing an adjacent safety configuration for an elevator system including de-rating a pair of trailing safeties with respect to a pair of leading safeties as a function of a rated speed of the elevator and a spacing between the pair of trailing safeties and the pair of leading safeties.

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.

An elevator interface, communication, and control system including: a first elevator car configured to move through a first elevator shaft, the first elevator car including elevator doors configured to open and close; a first controller in electronic communication with the first elevator car; a conversion module in electronic communication with the first controller; and a first wireless access point in electronic communication with the conversion module through a hardwired connection, the first wireless access point being configured to wirelessly receive a first command from a first mobile computing device via a wireless protocol, wherein the first wireless access point is configured to transmit the first command to the conversion module, the conversion module is configured to transmit the first command to the first controller, and the first controller is configured to transmit the first command to the first elevator car.

An elevator car includes a first floor for delimiting a transport space above it, and a second floor for delimiting a second transport space above it. One of the first and second floors is a displaceable floor, the elevator car being shiftable between a double-decker-state and a single decker-state by displacing the displaceable floor. A construction-time elevator arrangement and a method for elevator use during construction of a building, which implement the elevator car, are also disclosed.
