Abstract

A mounting system for performing an installation operation in an elevator shaft of an elevator system has a mounting apparatus that includes a carrier component with a mechatronic installation component, a displacement component, a suspension cable and a deflection roller deflecting the suspension cable between the displacement component and the carrier component. The carrier component is supported against a supporting wall of the elevator shaft by an upper support roller, at least during displacement in the elevator shaft. The suspension cable has, between the deflection roller and the carrier component, a diagonal pull relative to the vertical in the direction of the supporting wall and is guided via the deflection roller such that the diagonal pull can be varied by displacing the deflection roller. The deflection roller is arranged via a holding apparatus on a surface of the supporting wall such that the deflection roller protrudes into the elevator shaft.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A mounting system for performing an installation operation in an elevator shaft of an elevator system, the mounting system comprising:
a mounting apparatus having a carrier component and a mechatronic installation component mounted on the carrier component;
a displacement component arranged above the mounting apparatus in the elevator shaft;
a suspension means fixed at least indirectly to the carrier component and connecting the carrier component to the displacement component;
a deflection roller fixed in the elevator shaft and deflecting the suspension means between the displacement component and the carrier component;
wherein the displacement component displaces the carrier component in a vertical direction in the elevator shaft using the suspension means;
wherein the carrier component is supported on a supporting wall of the elevator shaft by an upper support roller at least during a displacement of the carrier component in the elevator shaft;
wherein the suspension means exerts, between the deflection roller and the carrier component, a diagonal pull with respect to the vertical direction toward the supporting wall;
wherein the suspension means is guided by the deflection roller such that the diagonal pull can be varied by displacing the deflection roller relative to the supporting wall; and
wherein the deflection roller is arranged by a holding apparatus on a boundary surface of the elevator shaft and protrudes into the elevator shaft.

2. The mounting system according to claim 1 wherein the boundary surface is the supporting wall and the deflection roller is fixed to the supporting wall by the holding apparatus.

3. The mounting system according to claim 1 wherein at least a part of the holding apparatus is arranged on the boundary surface of the elevator shaft and is pivotable about a pivot axis, and wherein the pivot axis runs in a horizontal direction and parallel to the boundary surface.

4. The mounting system according to claim 3 wherein the holding apparatus has a fixing part and a pivot arm, the fixing part is fixed to the boundary surface, the deflection roller is arranged on the pivot arm and the pivot arm is pivotable relative to the fixing part.

5. The mounting system according to claim 1 wherein the displacement component is suspended from a shaft ceiling of the elevator shaft.

6. The mounting system according to claim 1 wherein a suspension point at which the suspension means is fixed on the carrier component is arranged vertically above a center of gravity of the mounting apparatus.

7. The mounting system according to claim 1 including a compensating element arranged in the elevator shaft to counteract a tilting of the carrier component about the upper support roller toward the supporting wall during the displacement of the carrier component in the elevator shaft.

8. The mounting system according to claim 7 wherein the compensating element is adapted to counteract an increase in the diagonal pull of the suspension means when there is a decrease in a distance between the deflection roller and the carrier component as the carrier component is displaced in the elevator shaft.

9. The mounting system according to claim 7 wherein the compensating element is arranged on the holding apparatus.

10. The mounting system according to claim 7 wherein in response to a decrease in a distance between the deflection roller and the carrier component the compensating element increases a distance of the deflection roller from the supporting wall.

11. The mounting system according to claim 7 wherein the compensating element includes a spring arranged to apply a force to the deflection roller in a direction of the supporting wall.

12. The mounting system according to claim 7 wherein the compensating element is arranged on the carrier component and, in response to a decrease in a distance between the deflection roller and the carrier component, decreases a distance of a suspension element on the carrier component from the supporting wall, the suspension element connecting the carrier component to the suspension means.

13. The mounting system according to claim 7 wherein the compensating element, in response to a decrease in a distance between the deflection roller and the carrier component, increases a distance of a center of gravity of the mounting apparatus from the supporting wall.

14. The mounting system according to claim 7 wherein the compensating element includes a force transmission point at which a holding force is introduced into the carrier component, and the force transmission point is arranged at a same height as or below the upper support roller.
