Roller–rail parameters on the transverse vibration characteristics of super-high-speed elevators

Abstract

Interaction and wear between wheel and rail become increasingly serious with the increase in elevator speed and load. Uneven roller surface, eccentricity of rollers, and the looseness of rail brackets result in serious vibration problems of high-speed and super-high-speed elevators. Therefore, the forced vibration differential equation representing elevator guide rails is established based on Bernoulli–Euler theory, and the vibration equation of the elevator guide shoes and the car is constructed using the Darren Bell principle. Then, the coupled vibration model of guide rail, guide shoes, and car can be obtained using the relationship of force and relative displacement among these components. The roller–rail parameters are introduced into the established coupled vibration model using the model equivalent method. Then, the influence of roller–rail parameters on the horizontal vibration of super-high-speed elevator cars is investigated. Roller eccentricity and the vibration acceleration of the car present a linear correlation, with the amplitude of the car vibration acceleration increasing with the eccentricity of the roller. A nonlinear relationship exists between the surface roughness of the roller and the vibration acceleration of the car. Increased continuous loosening of the guide rail results in severe vibration of the car at the loose position of the support.

Experiment Research on Emergency Stop Vibrations of Key Components in the Friction Vertical Lifting System

“…e generator absorbs the mechanical energy and converts it into electrical energy. e electrical energy is consumed through the closed loop formed by the star-sealing wire or the resistor [24][25][26]. When the mechanical torque is balanced with the electromagnetic torque of the motor, the traction machine can run at a uniform speed.…”

Analysis of Vibration Monitoring Data of Flexible Suspension Lifting Structure Based on Time-Varying Theory

“…Under external excitations, the movement of the system inevitably produces vibrations. These external excitations include the traction force provided by the traction machine, the braking force produced by the brake, the impact force caused by the irregularity of the guide rail, and the air resistance force generated during the operation [ 13 , 14 , 15 ]. When the elevator structure is considered as a unified dynamic system, its physical characteristics mainly include mass, stiffness, and damping.…”

Forced Vibration of Time-Varying Elevator Traction System

“…Zhang et al [18] analysed the sensitivity of random parameters of transverse and horizontal vibration of high-speed elevator lifting systems based on the random perturbation method and analysed the influence of parameters, such as guide length, weight per unit length and bending stiffness, on the dynamic characteristics of a guide. Cao et al [19] established a trackway-car coupled vibration model via numerical analysis to explore the influence of guide parameters on the lateral vibration of the elevator. The results show that the structural parameters of the guide have a significant influence on the vibration of the elevator system.…”
