conveyor belt
Conveyor belts are used widely in industry to transport materials. They consist of an under layer called the carcass for strength and an over layer called the cover. Belts are made of materials like rubber, plastic, or cotton. The type of belt used depends on the size, weight, and shape of items being moved. Benefits of belt conveyors include their ability to handle high capacities over long distances economically. They are suitable for abrasive, wet, dry, or dirty materials. However, belts may require higher tension and are susceptible to issues with sticky materials.
Elevator
The document discusses elevators and their control systems. Elevators use either hydraulic or cable systems to move between floors of buildings. Hydraulic elevators use a hydraulic ram and piston to lift an elevator car, while cable systems use steel ropes connected to a sheave and counterweight. Elevator control systems are real-time, distributed, and embedded to safely move passengers based on button inputs and current floor. Safety systems like brakes and shock absorbers prevent elevator accidents in case of cable or power failures.
Elevators & Escalators
An escalator consists of a motor-driven chain of individual, linked steps that move up or down on tracks, allowing the steps to remain horizontal. Escalators are used to efficiently move large numbers of people between floors in places where elevators would be impractical, such as in department stores and airports. The main components of an escalator include the landing platforms that house the drive gears and motors, a truss that bridges the platforms, and tracks that guide the endless chain of steps in their continuous loop. Escalators are designed to have a step width of 600mm, 800mm, or 1000mm and a standard transportation speed between 0.5 to 0.65m/s.
Lift Design
This document discusses factors to consider when designing lifts, including population, handling capacity, and quality of service. It provides guidelines for calculating population based on building occupancy type and floor area. Handling capacity is calculated using a formula considering average passengers carried per trip, waiting interval, and total peak population. Quality of service is measured by passenger waiting time, with intervals classified as excellent, good, or fair. Round trip time is also calculated, considering time for passenger entry/exit, door operation, acceleration/deceleration, and travel speeds. Recommended lift speeds are provided for different building types.
Lifts
This document provides information on lifts, escalators, and the differences between the two. It defines a lift as a type of vertical transport equipment that moves people or goods between floors of a building. Basic lift components and terminology are explained. The main types of lifts are described as passenger, goods, vehicle, dumbwaiter, and scissor lifts. Escalators are defined as moving staircases that transport people between floors. Escalator components and operating mechanisms are outlined. Applications of lifts and escalators in buildings are listed. The key differences between lifts and escalators are vertical versus horizontal movement, enclosed spaces versus open steps, and relative speeds.
