Composition of a sightseeing elevator

Modern elevators mainly consist of a traction machine (winch), guide rails, counterweight, safety devices (such as speed governors, safety brakes, and buffers), signal control system, car, and landing doors. These components are installed in the building's hoistway and machine room, respectively. They typically use friction drive with steel wire ropes. The steel wire ropes pass around the traction sheave, with each end connected to the car and counterweight, respectively. The motor drives the traction sheave to raise and lower the car. Elevators are required to be safe and reliable, have high transport efficiency, accurate leveling, and comfortable rides. The basic parameters of an elevator mainly include rated load capacity, passenger capacity, rated speed, car dimensions, and hoistway type.

 

The traction system includes the traction motor, traction sheave, reducer, brake, traction machine base, and handwheel. The traction sheave is mounted on the load-bearing beam. The elevator traction machine is the driving mechanism for elevator operation. Through the load-bearing beam and traction sheave, it bears the entire load (dynamic and static load) of all reciprocating lifting components. The load-bearing beam is often made of I-beam steel.

 

The suspension compensation system consists of the traction ropes, all structural components of the car and counterweight, compensating ropes, tension pulleys, etc. The car and counterweight are the main components for the elevator's vertical movement; the car is the container for carrying passengers and goods.

 

The guiding system includes guide rails and guide shoes, guiding the car and counterweight in their vertical lifting and lowering motion.

 

The electrical system is the elevator's control system, including various contactors, relays, controllers, and displays.

Safety devices include speed governors, safety brakes, buffers, and various door safety devices.

Working Principle


Sightseeing Elevator Glass Enclosure
1. Integrates with the building and its surrounding environment, becoming not only part of the building but also adding a beautiful moving landscape.

2. The glass and steel structure of the sightseeing elevator perfectly showcases compact space and overall aesthetics. It can also be easily and quickly customized according to different civil engineering designs, generally using circular, semi-circular, and square shapes.

3. A smooth and comfortable ride, and multiple angles of external views, bringing users enjoyment and novelty.

4. Widely used in various public and private buildings, such as shopping malls, hotels, office buildings, tourist attractions, and high-end residences. The development, design, and construction technology of sightseeing elevator supporting products, mainly including: elevator steel structure shafts, point-type sightseeing elevator glass curtain wall enclosures, escalator curtain wall enclosures, and related elevator-related decoration services. The industries involved include major hotels, shopping malls, office buildings, real estate development companies, banks, government administrative buildings, exhibition halls, subway entrances and exits, schools, private villas, and other industries.
