Title: Lift car braking apparatus
IPC: B66B1/50
Filed: 1973-03-16
Abstract: 1466671 Automatic control of lifts DEWHURST & PARTNER Ltd and G E MINNS 13 March 1974 [16 March 1973] 12881/73 Heading G3N A lift is progressively braked in dependence upon a sensed rate of change of magnetic flux, that increases as the flux sensor approaches a desired stopping position. In the embodiment, the lift is brought to the desired position using a fixed ferromagnetic vane 10, and a pair of C-shaped sensors, as shown, mounted on the lift. Each sensor includes a permanent magnet 22 whose flux links with a flux responsive reed relay 24 and a search coil 26 which provides an output dependent on the rate of change of flux through the coil. The coils from each sensor are connected in opposition in a circuit, Fig. 5 (not shown) that controls the field excitation of the lift drive motor. As the desired stopping position of the lift is approached, the sensors each detect a change in flux due to the presence of vane 10 between magnet 22 and coil 26. The speed of the lift is thus reduced, as the desired position is approached, so as to tend to maintain the rate of change of flux through coil 26 at a desired level i.e. zero. At the desired position, reed relay 24 opens to operate a friction brake on the lift.
