A safety exit assembly for an elevator car and an elevator system. The safety exit assembly includes: a door panel, which is configured to open and close a safety exit of the elevator car, and which has an upper surface and a lower surface; a moving assembly, which includes a guide block provided on a lower surface of the door panel, and a guide rail which guides the door panel to move downward and translate through a cooperation with the guide block; a drive assembly, which drives the door panel to reciprocate along the guide rail; and a locking assembly, which includes an unlocking element provided on an upper surface of the door panel; wherein the unlocking element is electrically connected to the drive assembly, and an unlocking action of the unlocking element triggers the drive assembly to drive the door panel to move until the safety exit is opened.

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 installation includes a shaft in which at least two elevator cars are arranged one above the other and are capable of travel upward and downward in a vertical direction separately from one another, wherein each elevator car is assigned a travel drive. The elevator cars are capable of travel with large and small spacings to one another without the risk of collision by coupling at least two elevator cars together by way of a variable-length, releasable coupling device, wherein the spacing between the coupled-together elevator cars can be varied, in a manner dependent on the relative speed between the two elevator cars, with the aid of at least one of the travel drives.

A method of controlling an elevator installation with several elevator cages per elevator shaft, wherein a destination call to a desired destination story is actuated on a call input story by at least one passenger and at least one most favorable call allocation for transport of the passenger by the elevator cage from a start story to a destination story, is determined for the destination call by at least one destination call control. If at least one disadvantage parameter is set, at least one disadvantage-free call allocation for transport of the passenger by the elevator cage from a start story to a destination story is determined by the destination call control, in which it is possible the start story and call input story or the destination story and desired destination correspond.

In an elevator system using multiple-deck elevator cars (130, 132), an elevator passenger (154) travels between a floor in a first zone (170) in a building (120) and a floor in a second zone (172) in the building (120). The passenger (154) travels first from one of the zones (170, 172) to a ground floor lobby (100, 101). Within a given amount of time after arriving at the lobby (100, 101), the identified passenger (154) is allowed to place an elevator call for an elevator traveling to the other zone (170, 172). Even if the call is for a destination floor not usually served from the particular ground floor lobby (100, 101), the passenger (154) is allowed to travel to the destination floor as requested.

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.

A safety exit assembly for an elevator car and an elevator system. The safety exit assembly includes: a door panel, which is configured to open and close a safety exit of the elevator car, and which has an upper surface and a lower surface; a moving assembly, which includes a guide block provided on a lower surface of the door panel, and a guide rail which guides the door panel to move downward and translate through a cooperation with the guide block; a drive assembly, which drives the door panel to reciprocate along the guide rail; and a locking assembly, which includes an unlocking element provided on an upper surface of the door panel; wherein the unlocking element is electrically connected to the drive assembly, and an unlocking action of the unlocking element triggers the drive assembly to drive the door panel to move until the safety exit is opened.

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 system may include upper and lower shuttle cars in a first shaft. The shuttle cars are at least at times fixedly coupled to one another and can move vertically upward and downward together. Upper and lower distribution cars in a second shaft may be movable vertically upward and downward separately. The upper shuttle and upper distribution cars may each comprise a stopping point at an upper shuttle level. The lower shuttle and lower distribution cars may each comprise a stopping point at a lower shuttle level. The second shaft may include a first stop element that can selectively limit a driving range of the upper distribution car to the upper shuttle level and a range vertically above it. A second stop element in the second shaft may selectively limit a driving range of the lower distribution car to the lower shuttle level and a range vertically below it.

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.
