What are the most prominent types of electric elevators?
There are many types of elevators, according to the building in which they are located, and according to the purpose required for them, as the concerned companies are constantly developing them. In order to reach the highest level of efficiency and safety, the elevator cannot be chosen randomly.
Rather, based on several considerations, including; Weights, safety level, and number of people allowed.
Home elevators
One of the most used types, which its designers worked on developing, and increasing the degree of safety with it, and these elevators are very small.
It may not support more than 3 people, and a weight-bearing capacity of no more than 300 kg, and its area is approximately 0.84 square meters. The completed size is 600*830mm, and the reserved size is 980*1020mm.
This type of elevator is operated using spiral rails, as spiral elevators are often the safest for transporting individuals and daily use, and it also contains a built-in glass column, and is attached to it, and it can also be installed in the middle of the staircase, or next to it.
Passenger elevators
This type of elevator is the most widespread around the world, compared to other types. Skyscrapers, high-rise residential towers, and buildings with large vertical expansions have increased in recent years. Which individuals depend on to reach their homes on the upper floors, and it is the one that is chosen for buildings that frequently use the elevator during the day.
This elevator can carry a number of people ranging from 8 to 10 people, and weights up to 630 kg, and it can move between floors at a speed of 0.15 meters per second. Which facilitates their transportation in the least time.
This elevator requires the construction of a lifting column; To house the required mechanism, and a passenger-carrying cab, which is made of embossed stainless steel, and relies on the advanced traction system 2.1, which is the indirect suspension system from the weights to the cab.
This elevator is also provided with an electronic system that indicates overloading, with an audio signal, as well as a speed regulator. To protect the elevator in case of exceeding the permissible speed. An emergency light source is also placed in it, fitted to the roof of the cab, for illumination in the event of a power outage.
Elevators for People of Determination
This type is specially designed for individuals with disabilities, who are unable to use stairs normally. Because it is difficult for them to reach the upper floors, elevators are designed with special specifications to suit their capabilities.
There are two different forms of this type; The first is a device, or a robotic chair attached to the end of the ladder, its idea facilitates the process of ascending and descending in their daily movement inside their homes, as this form is usually used in villas, homes, and developed workplaces.
For the second figure; It is a platform, and it is manufactured according to the shape of the building, and accordingly the size and color are determined. This shape is characterized by the wide entrance, and the automatic doors are designed with specific standards. As for the floor buttons, they are protruding outside, and are placed at a lower level than normal, and in a wide horizontal manner to facilitate access to them.
The users of this type of elevators must request periodic follow-up by the care companies, in order to fully examine them, and ensure their safety and work with the required efficiency.
Hydraulic elevators
Usually, this type of elevator is preferred for facilities with limited users, such as villas, factories, small shopping places, or any building that does not have a special room for the engine. In this type, the room in which the elevator is installed includes; Elevator room, piston cylinder, elevator bearing, hanging wire, and balance weight storage.
In this type, the hydraulic pump unit is relied upon to move the elevator, but when going down, the elevator relies on its own weight.
As for the general planning for the installation project of this type; It depends on the placement of the engine room on the ground floor, as that room includes an oil storage, and is topped by a control panel for the hydraulic system, in addition to hoses, through which the hydraulic fluid passes.
As for the speed at which you work; They range from 0.125 to 1 metre, per second. And at a height starting from two floors, up to 6 floors, and it is suitable for carrying people, and transporting goods and various loads.
Single-cylinder elevators can carry weights ranging from 1,000 to 10,000 kg. As for the hydraulic type, which consists of two cylinders, it can carry weights ranging from 10,000 to 90,000 kg.
There are also several sub-types of the hydraulic elevator; They include tensioning hydraulic elevator, hollow hydraulic elevator, roomless hydraulic elevator and slotless hydraulic elevator.
And all of them are characterized by superior safety, by relying on the descent at the speed of the oils flowing from the cylinder, and are suitable for those with low budgets, and can bear very heavy weights, and more than any other type of elevator.
As for the most important technical notes for using this type; It is to determine the purpose of use, the walking distance, and the measurements of the place in which it will be placed, to maintain the safety of users.
Types of elevators for service projects
Hospital elevators
Hospitals are one of the service facilities, which are frequented by many visitors, patients in addition to workers and doctors, and they need an easy and comfortable means of transportation, to suit the patients' conditions.
It also requires elevators with certain characteristics, to bear the transportation of heavy medical devices and tools, and they can be used on a daily basis with all comfort. Because the nature of medical buildings is different from commercial or residential.
Hospital elevators are designed at low speeds, with an average elevator speed of 5 meters per second. In addition, it must be large in area, strong in structure, solid in its cabin, and in the quality of the operating system approved by it, due to the large number of users and their different situations.
