    摘要: An elevator assembly with a rack-and-pinion drive including a tower and an elevator. The elevator assembly is designed to allow the autonomous inverse assembly of the tower on a shaft and/or a gallery during excavation processes. The elevator assembly descends along a suspended tower as far as a bottom end of the tower to convey mast sections to be assembled under the tower. The mast sections to be assembled are positioned for fishplating thereof, one by one, by means of a movable deck of the elevator assembly. A inverse assembly method, a docking method, and a method for dismantling the elevator assembly are also provided.

    摘要: An illustrative example embodiment of an elevator includes an elevator car and a drive mechanism connected with the elevator car. The drive mechanism moves with the elevator car in a vertical direction. The drive mechanism includes drive members that are configured to engage surfaces associated with walls near opposite sides of the elevator car, climb along the surfaces to selectively cause movement of the elevator car, and selectively prevent movement of the elevator car when the drive members remain in a selected position relative to the wall.

    摘要: An intelligent normal force release supervisor including: a processor; and a memory including computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations, the operations including: receiving a signal from a dispatching controller that an elevator car and a propulsion system are going to park for a selected period of time; requesting a confirmation from a brake controller to confirm that a brake system of the elevator car and the propulsion system are deployed; receiving the confirmation from the brake controller to confirm that the brake system of the elevator car and the propulsion system are deployed; and transmitting a command to a normal force controller to reduce normal force on wheels of the propulsion system, wherein the normal force controller is configured to actuate a normal force generator to reduce the normal force on the wheels of the propulsion system in response to the command.

    摘要: An illustrative example embodiment of an elevator includes an elevator car and a drive mechanism connected with the elevator car. The drive mechanism moves with the elevator car in a vertical direction. The drive mechanism includes at least one drive member that is configured to engage a vertical structure near the elevator car, selectively climb along the vertical structure to cause movement of the elevator car, and selectively prevent movement of the elevator car when the drive member remains in a selected position relative to the vertical structure. A biasing mechanism urges the drive member in a direction to engage the vertical structure. The biasing mechanism applies a biasing force based upon a condition of the elevator car. The biasing force changes based upon a change in the condition.

    摘要: A ropeless elevator system 10 includes a lane 13, 15, 17. One or more cars 20 are arranged in the lane. At least one linear motor 38, 40 is arranged along one of the lane and the one or more cars, and a magnet 50, 60 is arranged along the other of the lane and the one or more cars. The at least one magnet is responsive to the at least one linear motor. A linear motor controller 70 is operatively connected to the at least one linear motor, and a lane controller 80 is operatively connected to the linear motor controller. A back electro-motive force (EMF) module 84 is operatively connected to at least one of the linear motor controller and the lane controller. The lane controller being configured and disposed to control stopping one of the one or more cars based on a back EMF signal from the at least one linear motor determined by the EMF module.
