Abstract

The elevator without counterweight, is a system of lifting weights that can boost itself, overcoming the force of gravity. Two gears located in the ceiling and under the floor of the elevator car, formed by toothed trees of progressively decreasing size, ends in two cogwheels that run along the toothed guides (9) through which they will circulate in their movement. Electric motors (2, 15) will transmit their force to the first wheel of the first toothed shaft, a force that multiplies as it reaches the wheel that is in contact with the guides. Two different braking systems are added to this elevator and the possibility of applying this gear in mechanical traction vehicles is contemplated.

Description

Lift without counterweight.

Object of the invention

The main objective of the present invention is to ensure that an elevator car can be raised and lowered by jagged guides (9), without using the typical counterweight that saves the engine effort to lift it. In this case two groups of jagged tree forests are installed that greatly multiply the force of the engines, to the point that the simple effort of a cyclist's pedaling would be able to raise the cabin, -as added the drawing of a bicycle in figure nº 1-. The other objectives of the invention are to achieve an infallible brake against the possibility of a possible fall. And, on the other hand, with regard to the application of the system to the vehicles of mechanical traction, it is also tried to obtain that the system of the forest of toothed trees can save effort to the gasoline engines or to the electric motors that drive them forward, while the multiplication of the force that allows the gear of toothed trees, is of such caliber, that only a small impulse will be needed so that the vehicle is sufficiently accelerated.

Background of the invention

The elevator without counterweight , in its generic sense, is not something new. It is, in this case, the system that allows to achieve the objective of raising and lowering an elevator car with weight, as I have described in the previous sections, in reference to the gear system of the forest of progressively sized toothed trees descending, which allow the same number of turns as the first cogwheel to be transmitted to the last toothed shaft, while transmitting a force much greater than the one started by the movement. In this sense, there is no history of the invention, unless it is considered the forest of jagged trees that I have already used in another previous Patent, No. P200502542, entitled Autonomous safety brake for elevators . In that invention, it was about increasing the force that the user could apply to the first wheel of the forest , which resulted in a much greater force when the last toothed tree pressed a piece of rubber against the cogwheels that ran through the elevator guides . The other background refers to the Generator (2 x 1) that I have presented on many other occasions, such as in Patent No. P200401838, entitled: Electric magnet hammer generator .

Description of the invention

The Lift without counterweight , is a gear system formed by two groups of jagged tree forests that are located on the roof of the cabin (1) and under the floor of the cabin. These toothed trees, (3-7), have a progressively descending size, that is, that each toothed tree has, on the two wheels that form it, a perimeter that is half just that of the previous toothed tree. This allows the first wheel of the first toothed shaft (3) to transmit its rotation, that is, the same number of turns it gives, to the last wheel of the last toothed shaft (6). On one of the sides towards which the forest of toothed trees extends , a cogwheel (7) of the same perimeter as the large wheel of the # 6 tree must be added so that the system is consistent with the movement of all the cogwheels involved. throughout the system and they are in contact. Just look at figure 1. Inside it, inside the cabin (1), a bicycle (10-14) has been added that could, in some cases, be able to replace electric motors (2 , 15), which push the first wheel of the first toothed shaft (3). In this way, with its simple pedaling, -and, given the great force in which the original effort is multiplied when it is transmitted from tree to tree-, a cyclist could raise the cabin (1) by the serrated guides (9 ). In figures 3 and 7, we find two applications of the gear of the toothed tree forest to all the vehicles of mechanical traction. The installation in a car of the forest of toothed trees , allows that the engine (2, 15), can use a minimum effort to push to the vehicle. In the case of a gasoline engine, instead of an electric motor, the forest will also allow considerable fuel savings. In figure 7 it is an application of the forest of jagged trees to a bicycle, or a motorcycle, depending on whether the thrust is produced by the pedals (11) of a cyclist, or by an electric motor (2, 15), or one of gasoline. We have to review the braking system of this elevator that has the mission of making the fall impossible. For this purpose a double braking system is installed. The first is based on the simple addition of rubber or carbon circles (36) on the back of the large wheels of all toothed trees. Behind them, other circles (36), also of rubber or carbon, may come into contact with those of the jagged trees at the moment in which it tries to stop the fall. Figure 4 describes the complex system that allows the mechanism to be activated from inside the cabin. This is a crank (27) that will be placed on the side of the cabin (1) shown sideways, as well as the forest of jagged trees with their brake pads (36). When the user activates the crank (27), the brake pads (36) will be joined together and the friction will determine the braking. Thus, the cabin will be stopped because the forest of jagged trees that we will install, - also inside the cabin, (although only two trees (30, 31) have been drawn on it, above and below the large main wheel (29)) - will greatly increase the force that the user can apply to the rubber or carbon pad system. Once achieved, thus, that the cabin is stopped, the first cogwheel of the engine or the two main engines will be blocked (2, 15). We see in figure 5 the mechanism that allows this blockage. It is a metal bar (38) that has, in the lower part, a toothed hemisphere (37) that will be put in contact with the gearwheel of the engine (2) because this wheel is the one that dominates the whole system of toothed trees . Thus, when the cabin has stopped, the bar (38) will be lowered, and the motor wheel (2) will be locked. Then there is only to move horizontally the metal shaft (41) so that it is fixed in the hollow (40) of the metal bar (38), thus being fixed and immovable the entire mechanism. Finally, the second braking system must be described, as can be seen in figure 6. This system will be used to slowly lower the cabin to the ground floor, in the case that it is desired to do so because they cannot be Open the elevator doors, or for any other reason. As seen in figure 6, another forest of jagged trees has been installed at the base of the elevator car, in which all trees have the same perimeter. Date of the invention: (11.05.08).

A representation of what could be a way to ascend the cabin with the sole impulse of a cyclist who activates with his pedals, (11), the gear of the " jagged tree forest ", (3-7) is added ), instead of using the electric motors (2.15) that are also shown in this figure.

Figure 3: Plan view of a car chassis (23) in which a forest of toothed trees is installed that multiplies the force transmitted to the wheels (25), the electric motor (2, 15). Also shown in this figure is an Electric Generator (20, 21, 22), with the system (2 x 1), which powers the battery (24) of the engine.

Figure 4: Side view of the elevator car system that activates the brake of the toothed forest , formed by rubber, or carbon wheels, (36), which come into contact with the area, also of rubber or carbon, which has each jagged tree on its back. In the figure the whole system of the part of the roof of the cabin is not drawn, it is only outlined, although it is supposed to duplicate in it everything that the figure shows in the lower part.

Figure 5: Front view of the mechanism that block the gearwheel (2) of the electric motor so that the Lift can't move.

Figure 6: Front view of the brake mechanism formed by a forest of inverted toothed shafts , which shows the existence of a different wheel (49) on the right side, which does not connect the same as the previous ones to ensure the consistency of rotation of all the sprockets in the figure.

Figure 7: Plan view of a forest of jagged trees (3, 4, 16, 17), located on a bicycle to multiply the force transmitted by the cyclist's pedaling, using a much smaller effort than usual. An electric motor (2, 15) is added to the figure, to contemplate the possibility that, instead of a bicycle, the system of the jagged forest is installed on a motorcycle, which, in the case of a gasoline engine-, would save a large amount of fuel since the forest of toothed trees allows to reduce the amount of thrust that the engine must transmit to the gear, and increase, despite that, the thrust force that reaches the wheels.

Description of a preferred embodiment

The Lift without counterweight , is characterized by an autonomous system of lifting weights in elevator car (1), which has a pushing and braking system. As for the thrust, a forest of jagged trees , (3-6), formed by two groups of trees that extend on each side from a central tree (1) must be installed on the roof and under the cabin floor (1). 3). The forest ends in a wheel on each side, (6 and 7), which contacts metal guides (9). On each side there is a different number of wheels for reasons of turn logic, since all the wheels of the system are in contact. You can also put a double forest , one on each side, and independent of the previous one. In this case the number of trees and wheels would be the same on each side. Each group would have one motor, or two electric motors (2, 15), that would push the main wheel of the first axle (3). This would make it possible to ensure that, in case of breakage of one of the engines, the other would still have enough thrust for its lifting mission. The toothed trees have a descending size, that is, that each tree has, on its two wheels, a perimeter that is half that of the previous one. This also ensures that the last wheels of the forest transmit the same number of turns as the first wheel of the first toothed shaft (3). And, at the same time, the thrust force that receives the first cogwheel, (3), has been multiplied from tree to tree until it becomes much larger in the last wheel of the last tree (6). This makes electric motors need to have very little power. Simply increase the number of toothed trees sufficiently. Note, in figure 1, that a bicycle (10-14) that could lift the elevator with the simple force of the cyclist's legs has been added inside the elevator car. Instead of an electric motor, a cogwheel (10) with pedals (11), a handlebar (12) and a saddle (13) are placed, articulated all these parts by metal tubes (14). We will now describe the braking system that is activated, manually, also from inside the elevator car (1). A brake pad (36), of rubber or carbon, will be placed on the back of each large wheel of each toothed shaft, attached to it. A little further behind it, we will place another rubber tablet (36), -or carbon-, which has a hole in its center to be able to move along the axis that joins it to its corresponding tree. It is about making the two brake pads come together at the time of a possible fall. To achieve this, we have installed on a side of the cabin, a large cogwheel (29) that has an axle (28) and a crank (27). Above and below this large wheel (29), we have located two jagged tree forests , (30, 31), which will multiply the force that the user applies to the crank (27). On the last wheel of the last axle (31) we will place a toothed metal bar (32) horizontally, which will move to the right and left as the wheel (31) that is in contact with it rotates. This bar (32) is firmly attached to the brake pads (36) by metal rods (8) so that, when the crank (27) is activated, the brake pads will be joined together (36) and the system of jagged trees will stop spinning, thus slowing down the fall. What will have to be done next is to block the sprocket system so that the elevator does not fall when the user stops applying its force on the crank. In this case, the mechanism of figure 5 is added, which will block the first wheel of the entire gear, thus preventing all of it from moving. It is a metal shaft (38) that has, in the lower part, a gear shaft (37) that is placed on the gearwheel (2) of the electric motor (15). The bar (38) has a crank (39) at the top and two projections (40) on one of its sides. These projections will serve to place in them a horizontal blocking bar (41), which has a small crank (42) in its center, to be able to be directed to the right or to the left, until it is located inside the projections ( 40). Finally, the second braking system must be described, as can be seen in figure 6. This system will be used to slowly lower the cabin to the ground floor, in the case that it is desired to do so because they cannot be Open the elevator doors, or for any other reason. As seen in figure 6, another forest of jagged trees has been installed at the base of the elevator car, in which all trees have the same perimeter. This means that, when the elevator falls, the user, from inside the cabin, can turn the crank (45) that makes the mechanism rise (45, 46, 47, 48). This will bring the large wheels (48) into contact with the small wheel wheels (49) and (53) of the two ends of the toothed axle system. In this case you have to add a wheel to one of the sides to give consistency of rotation to the system. In this way, when the wheels (48) that are in contact with the guides (9) turn, the turn will be transmitted to the small wheels of the trees (49) and (53), whose large wheel will be transmitted to the Immediate small wheels with which they are in contact ... and so on, until they reach the central wheel (52), which is attached to the base of the cabin (1). The rotation of the first wheel (48) will have been reduced by half, from tree to tree, until the wheel (52) has to turn very slowly, which will slow the descent of the elevator, as much as the system has trees . This mechanism can be duplicated in two independent parts, instead of all the trees in contact, as shown in this figure. In this way, there would be two wheels like the wheel (52), and two forests on each side with the same number of wheels. Cab braking is here a concept that derives from the obligation to reduce the number of turns of the wheels, from tree to tree. Like the first wheel (48), which is in contact with the guides on one side, and with the gear on the other, it cannot transmit all its rotation to the wheels with which it is in contact, this leaves to translate into the fact that the elevator slows its descent. It must also be said that the wheels (48) are always in contact with the guides (9), but not always with the immediate trees. Only in the event that the user activates the crank (45) of the wheel (46) inside the cabin (1), the wheels (48) will contact the system and function as a fall retarder. In figures 3 and 7, we find two applications of the gear of the forest of toothed trees to the vehicles of mechanical traction. In figure 3 it is a car. The installation in it of the forest , allows the engine (2, 15), can apply a minimum effort to push the vehicle. This translates into the fact that a very low power engine can operate at a good speed, such as a tourist. In the case of a gasoline engine, instead of an electric motor, the forest will also allow considerable fuel savings because its minimum thrust will multiply from tree to tree until it reaches the wheel (18 ) of the axle (19) of the rear wheels (25) of the car. In the case of an electric motor (2, 15), one of my Generators (2 x 1) and a battery are added to the system, as shown in Figure 3-. The Generator (2 x 1) is made up of magnets (22) of size (2 x ) in the axis of rotation, facing magnets or cores of laminated sweet iron (21), of size ( x ), and in pairs with solenoid . A battery (24) is also added. Note that the cogwheel of the Generator shaft (20) contacts the large cogwheel (17) of the last inverted tree in the forest to take advantage of the rotation of this wheel. In figure 7 it is an application of the forest of jagged trees to a bicycle, or a motorcycle, depending on whether the thrust is produced by the pedals (11) of a cyclist, or by an electric motor (2, 15), or one of gasoline. Simply put two or three of these trees (3, 4, 16-17) on the back of the pedal wheel. The last tree (16-17) will be reversed and that will subtract some of the force that has reached it. Now, we have to think that the wheel (17) will work as if it were the wheel (10) of the pedals of a normal bicycle. And, we have to think that the force that will reach the wheel (16) will have been multiplied by four, -or more according to the number of trees put on it. In a normal bicycle, the thrust of the legs on the pedals, indirectly, reaches a small wheel that is in the rear wheel of the bicycle. If we think that now it is the same situation, we will see that, now, with the forest of toothed trees , the force that is transmitted to the small wheel of the rear wheel of the bicycle is much greater than in the normal bicycle, which necessarily means that the thrust will be much greater as well. The small wheel of a bicycle is an inverted tree that moves the large wheel, the rear wheel of the bicycle. Now it is the same, but, with the difference that the small wheel of that inverted tree gets much more strength than in a normal bicycle.
