摘要:
A coupling for causing an elevator car door to engage an elevator hoistway door includes a pair of vanes, each end of each vane pivoted on a link connecting it with the other vane, the links being disposed for rotation between said two vanes on an elevator car door thereby forming a parallelogram. The vanes extend vertically between four rollers which rotate about horizontal axles disposed at the top of the hoistway door, and which provide rotationally stiff coupling. A solenoid actuator can move one vane up to cause the parallelogram to shrink, into an uncoupled position. When the actuator is disenergized, a spring causes the parallelogram to spread so that the vanes are wedged between the rollers and the two doors are coupled together.
摘要:
An elevator car door is moved by a variable voltage, variable frequency linear induction motor which is driven open current loop to achieve a desired velocity profile indicated by an incremental linear encoder, with washed out proportional and integral gain. A magnetizing current insufficient to overcome the weight of the door is added in quadrature with the linear force current, and frequency is determined open loop in a predetermined fashion. Pulse width modulation voltage control signals are utilized to apply fixed voltages of correct polarity through a low pass three phase filter to the windings of the motor for correct intervals of time so as to synthesize desired sinusoidal winding currents. A boost of current is provided following each zero crossing of the sinusoidal winding currents to overcome lags therein. A ramp down of voltage avoids dropping the door at the end of door opening and door closing.

A reciprocating elevator cab door is mounted on a guide track assembly which is fixed to the cab. The cab door is provided with guide rollers which travel along the upper surface of the guide track as the door opens and closes. The door is also provided with at least one upthrust roller which engages the lower surface of the guide track so as to stabilize the door against rocking motion as it moves back and forth over the guide track. The upthrust roller is preferably spring biased against the guide track. Use of the upthrust roller allows greater flexibility of door drive systems.

An elevator door evacuation deterrent device in combination with a moving vane elevator door coupler having a pair of coupler vanes pivotally connected by links to form a parallelogram movable between a compressed position, an expanded interlock position and a third expanded overtravel locking position when the elevator car is outside a landing zone. A top end from one of the vanes projects upwardly and abuts a locking plate on the elevator car to limit movement of the car door in the overtravel locking position when the car is outside of a landing zone.

An elevator hoistway door lock assembly comprises first and second lock subassemblies. Each lock subassembly has a rotatable latch mounted on a respective door hanger, a first and second catches are mounted on the hoistway for engagement with each respective latch, a first and second cam followers are fastened to the respective latches and movable between a first position in which each latch engages the respective catch in a locked position and a second position in which each latch is disengaged from the respective catch in an unlocked position so that the hoistway doors may be moved to an open position and each pair of electrical contacts for indicating a locked condition of the respective door when the contacts are electrically connected.

A horizontally stiff, but vertically yielding coupling between an elevator car door and an elevator hoistway door includes a brushless torque actuator which rotates a member (disposed on the elevator door) between a first, clearance position and a second, coupling position where it becomes wedged between the walls of a channel disposed on a hoistway door. The member may have rollers to make contact with the walls of the channel, or it may simply have sliding surfaces for contact with the channel.

A magnetic coupling device is disposed on an elevator car door in a position to engage a magnetic vane disposed on a hoistway door which is to be opened in unison with the car door. The magnetic coupling unit may comprise either an electromagnet or a permanent magnet and has spring loaded rollers disposed above and below it so as to control the initial force of engagement between the elevator car door and the hoistway door, for smoother door opening operation.

The method and apparatus for generating start of combustion signals associated with the combustion events in a diesel engine (10), and for using such signals to control the timing of fuel delivery to the engine. The combustion event is sensed, as by an electrostatic (230, 330) or optical (130, 430) sensor, and signal conditioning circuitry (32) provides a start-of-combustion (SOC) signal (34) which is directly and precisely indicative of the time of the onset of combustion. The sensors (130, 230) include self-cleaning capabilities (48, 248) for extended operating life on an engine. The sensors may be incorporated in the structure of a glow plug (330, 430). The SOC signal (34) is advantageously supplied to a timing control circuit (26) which delivers a timing control signal (28) to a fuel delivery device, such as the controller (16') associated with a fuel pump (16). The control circuit (26) stores (65) one or more start of combustion values (SOC*) which indicate the desired timing, relative to an engine cycle (24), for the start of the combustion event as a function of speed (25) and load (27). One or more adjustment signals (.DELTA.SOC) are stored (75) and applied (67, 68) as a function of speed and load to adjust the desired signal (SOC*) such that the control signal (28, SOC.sub.c) is corrected for delays. The actual SOC signal (34) is compared (71) with the desired signal (66) to generate an error signal (72) which may be used to finely adjust the stored (75) .DELTA.SOC signal for particular speed and load conditions.
