Elevator structure

Four major spaces in an elevator system include the machine room, the hoistway and pit, the car, and the landing area. These components work together to ensure safe and efficient vertical transportation.

The elevator consists of eight key systems: the traction system, guide system, car assembly, door system, counterweight balance system, electric drive system, electrical control system, and safety protection system. Each plays a vital role in the overall functionality and reliability of the elevator.

Additionally, there are eight advanced application technologies that are shaping the future of elevator design and operation:

1. All-digital passenger identification technology – this involves using biometric methods like facial recognition and fingerprint scanning to verify passengers before they enter the elevator, enhancing security and convenience.

2. Digital intelligent security control technology – this allows the elevator to reject unauthorized individuals through integrated ID systems, IC cards, and digital surveillance, ensuring only authorized users can access the elevator.

3. Fourth-generation machine room-less elevator technology – this design separates the motor from the elevator car and rail, eliminating resonance issues and allowing speeds up to 2.0 m/s or higher. It is ideal for high-rise buildings with over 30 floors.

4. Two-way safety protection technology – featuring dual safety clamps and speed limiters, this system is mandatory in Europe and is gaining popularity in China due to its enhanced safety features.

5. Rapid installation technology – this modern approach streamlines the traditional elevator installation process, enabling faster and more efficient setup without compromising quality.

6. Energy-saving technology – by incorporating energy-efficient motors and regenerative systems, elevators can significantly reduce power consumption and environmental impact.

7. Digital monitoring technology – utilizing computer-based systems, elevators can be monitored and controlled remotely, improving maintenance efficiency and user experience.

8. Wireless remote control and alarm system – in case of malfunction, the elevator can send fault alerts directly to a user’s mobile phone and even allow basic control via the same device, offering real-time assistance and peace of mind.
