The present invention relates an elevating apparatus based on a hetero-oriented non-isometric, dual-spiral drive structure, comprising a first carrier and a second carrier, further comprising a first support and a second support that are telescoped together in a manner that they can rotate with respect to each other, the first support is provided with a first recessed portion and a first raised portion that shares the same spiral direction and spiral pitch, the second support is provided with a homo-oriented, isometric, dual-spiral second recessed portion that has a spiral direction different from that of the first recessed portion. The carrier of the present invention is provided in a simply-supported-beam, and the carrier force can be achieved without additional weight, and the operation is stable and reliable.

In one embodiment, there is a unique heavy lifting system capable of transporting vertically heavy loads from grade to any elevation required by the project.

An illustrative example embodiment of a method of making a rotary magnetic drive member includes establishing a plurality of magnet retainers on a rod using an additive manufacturing process. Magnets are inserted between the retainers with magnetic poles of axially adjacent ones of the magnets oriented with like poles facing toward a portion of one of the retainers between the adjacent ones of the magnets.

An illustrative example method of making a magnetic drive component includes inserting a plurality of metal teeth into a metal tube. The teeth respectively have a first portion received against an inner surface of the tube. The teeth respectively have a second portion and a third portion spaced apart and projecting toward a center of the tube. The method includes securing the plurality of teeth to the tube.

An elevator system includes an elevator car for travel in a hoistway; a stator positioned along the hoistway; and a magnetic screw assembly coupled to the car, the magnetic screw assembly coacting with the stator to impart motion to the elevator car; the stator including a service section having a plurality of poles to coact with the magnetic screw assembly; the stator including a transfer station section, the transfer station section of the stator including a plurality of stator permanent magnets.

An elevator system includes a first elevator car (28) constructed and arranged to move in a first lane (30, 32, 34) and a first propulsion system (40) constructed and arranged to propel the first elevator. An electronic processor of the elevator system is configured to selectively control power delivered to the first propulsion system (40). The electronic processor includes a software-based power estimator configured to receive a first weight signal and a nm trajectory signal for calculating a power estimate and comparing the power estimate to a maximum power allowance. The electronic processor is configured to output an automated command signal if the power estimate exceeds the maximum power allowance.

A lifting assembly, a jump elevator and a jumping method. Wherein the lifting assembly comprises: a supporting platform provided with a plurality of telescopic first pawls at the side face thereof; at least one screw mechanism comprising a screw and a sleeve, the screw and the sleeve each being provided with an external thread and an internal thread matching with each other; and a driving mechanism configured to drive one of the screw and the sleeve to rotate in relative to the other, such that the screw mechanism extends or retracts; wherein the screw mechanism is connected between the supporting platform and the operating platform, one of the screw and the sleeve is configured to be rotatably attached to one of the supporting platform or the operating platform.
