Many self-built villas have installed small household elevators. The safety of home elevators is a matter of great concern to everyone. So what should I pay attention to when decorating a home elevator?
1. Choose the type of elevator
Screw elevator: The screw elevator relies on the mutual movement between the nut and the screw to run the elevator car. Due to structural limitations, the running speed is usually slow. The secondary three-helix elevator has a car design, light weight, low noise, and is more suitable for installing duplex buildings and overlapping villas.
Hydraulic elevators: Due to many problems, hydraulic elevators have almost disappeared in China and have been widely used in factories and workshops. However, the traction elevator is hauled by the traction main engine, the car and the counterweight are balanced with each other, the operation is stable, the technology is mature, and the energy saving is efficient.
Traction elevator: there are higher requirements for civil engineering dimensions: pit depth, top floor height and well width and depth dimensions. Self-built houses are generally reserved for installation of elevators of sufficient size and depth, so traction elevators are most suitable for installation.
2. Construction of the elevator shaft
Generally speaking, according to the manufacturer's technical capabilities, the pit depth of the traction elevator is required to be between 150 mm and 450 mm, and the height of the top layer is required to be more than 2500 mm. It should be noted here that the pit should be well waterproof.
Since the depths of domestic elevators are all special-shaped, as long as the car area does not exceed 1.6 square meters, the width and depth of the hoistway can be arbitrarily matched according to needs.
Determine the position and size of the hoistway inner ring beam, door head beam, sill beam and main frame beam according to the guidance of the manufacturer's technical personnel. After the elevator shaft is completed, contact the manufacturer's technicians to check the size of the door, and then the production and installation of the elevator can be arranged.
Don't have raised things on the wall, because the small household elevator may slightly touch the wall during operation. If the wall is uneven or has a raised place, it will cause a certain potential friction hazard to people.
3. The installation of the elevator
After waiting for all the decorations in the home to be completed, the owner should contact the inspector of the elevator manufacturer before the formal move-in to check whether the elevator can operate normally on the spot. If it is checked that the home elevator can be used normally, then the owner can use the home elevator with peace of mind.
