  • Patent number: 11325810
    Abstract: A method includes a first brake block of a first brake rubber, a second brake block mounted with a second brake rubber and a mounting base for mounting the first and second brake blocks. The second brake rubber is movable along a direction slanted with respect to an axis of rotation of the traction sheave. A brake block actuation member is triggered by the brake blocks to enable the first and the second brake rubbers to hold the traction sheave. A switching member is also triggered by the action of the second brake rubber, cutting off a safety circuit of the elevator. The external power is cut off, and the brake block actuation member enables contact between the second brake rubber and the traction sheave. The traction sheave further drives the second brake rubber triggering the brake block members to generate frictional braking force to stop the traction sheave.

  • Publication number: 20190047820
    Abstract: A traction sheave safety device and elevator car emergency stop method includes a first brake block of a first brake rubber, a second brake block mounted with a second brake rubber and a mounting base for mounting the first and second brake blocks. It uses a first and the second brake rubbers disposed on the two sides of the traction sheave. The second brake rubber is movable along a direction slanted with respect to an axis of rotation of the traction sheave. A brake block actuation member is triggered by the brake blocks to enable the first and the second brake rubbers to hold the traction sheave. A switching member is also triggered by the action of the second brake rubber, for cutting off a safety circuit of the elevator when the elevator car is in abnormal operation.

  • Patent number: 10146238
    Abstract: A resistorless CMOS low power voltage reference circuit is provided. The start-up circuit is used to prevent the circuit to stay in the zero state and stop working when the circuit gets out of the zero state. The self-biased VPTAT generating circuit generate the voltage VPTAT which has positive temperature coefficient. The square-law current generating circuit generates a square-law current which is proportional to ?T2 through the VPTAT. Finally, the reference voltage VREF is obtained by introducing the square-law current into the reference voltage output circuit. The reference voltage VREF of this application can realize approximative zero temperature coefficient in the temperature range of ?40° C.˜100° C. This application improves temperature characteristic which may be poorer due to temperature nonlinearity of carrier mobility based on the traditional subthreshold reference. This application can reduce the power consumption from ?W level to nW level and realize low power consumption.
