Abstract
A transportation system for a building with multiple floors includes a shaft in the building, a traction sheave drive type elevator and a lift. The elevator vertically conveys persons using an elevator car that is movable in the shaft together with at least two counterweights, the elevator car and the counterweights moving in opposite directions. The elevator car and the counterweights are driven by drive engines with traction sheaves. The lift vertically conveys objects and is designed as a self-propelled lift. The lift has a lift platform designed as a vehicle for supplying goods, which vehicle can be brought in and out the shaft and which lies, when located in the shaft, within a vertical projection of the elevator car.
Claims16
A transportation system for a building with multiple floors, the transportation system comprising:
- a shaft;
- a traction sheave drive elevator for vertically conveying persons, the elevator including an elevator car movable in the shaft, at least one counterweight movable together with the car in the shaft in a direction of movement opposite to a direction of movement of the elevator car, the elevator car and the counterweight being driven by a drive engine with a traction sheave;
- a self-propelled lift for vertically conveying objects, the lift having a lift platform movable in the shaft and at least one climbing drive unit for climbing the lift up and down in the shaft;
- and
- wherein the lift platform is a mobile lift platform adapted to be brought in and out of the shaft and wherein the lift platform has rolling wheels for moving the lift platform on the floors of the building.
A transportation system for a building with multiple floors, the transportation system comprising:
- a shaft;
- a traction sheave drive elevator for vertically conveying persons, the elevator including an elevator car movable in the shaft, at least one counterweight movable together with the car in the shaft in a direction of movement opposite to a direction of movement of the elevator car, the elevator car and the counterweight being driven by a drive engine with a traction sheave;
- a pair of opposing car guide means in the shaft guiding movement of the elevator car;
- a self-propelled lift for vertically conveying objects, the lift having a lift platform movable in the shaft and at least one climbing drive unit for climbing the lift up and down in the shaft;
- and
- at least two lift guiding units in the shaft separate from the car guide means and guiding the lift platform up and down.
A transportation system for a building with multiple floors, the transportation system comprising:
- a shaft;
- a traction sheave drive elevator for vertically conveying persons, the elevator including an elevator car movable in the shaft, at least one counterweight movable together with the car in the shaft in a direction of movement opposite to a direction of movement of the elevator car, the elevator car and the counterweight being driven by a drive engine with a traction sheave;
- a self-propelled lift for vertically conveying objects, the lift having a lift platform movable in the shaft and at least one climbing drive unit for climbing the lift up and down in the shaft;
- and
- wherein the shaft has a plurality of elevator shaft doors providing access for passengers into the elevator car, the elevator shaft doors being arranged at a front side of the shaft with each of the elevator shaft doors arranged at an associated floor in a first group of the floors, and including a plurality of lift shaft doors providing access for the lift platform or for objects, the lift shaft doors being arranged at a rear side of the shaft opposite to the front side with each of the lift shaft doors being arranged at an associated floor in a second group of the floors, each of the floors in the second group being arranged on a same level as a neighboring one of the floors in the first group.
