In response to the special requirements of the hospital, a series of advanced technologies are adopted to provide patients with safer transportation conditions, while greatly facilitating the work of medical staff and assisting them in fulfilling the sacred mission of saving the dead. The safety of elevators is a comprehensive problem, and many aspects of elevator design, management, maintenance, and use will affect the safety of elevators.

However, a qualified elevator designer should choose a reasonable component configuration from the beginning of the elevator design to ensure the safe and reliable operation of the elevator and prevent potential safety hazards. The conventional methods are as follows:

1. The speed limiter and safety gear are used to protect the downward overspeed; the buffer is used to protect the top and bottom.

2. The use of variable-frequency variable-voltage speed-regulating door machine makes the elevator door opening and closing more stable, lighter, and safer, and provides more protection for patients and medical staff.

3. The light curtain is used as the door protection to avoid the impact of the elevator car door on passengers, luggage, carts, etc.

4. The traction drive elevator shall be equipped with a car upward overspeed protection device. This can be achieved in the following ways:

① Two-way safety gear installed on the car;

②Safety gear installed on the counterweight frame;

③Stopping or deceleration devices acting on the wire rope system (suspending rope or compensation rope), such as rope clamp;

④ Act on the traction wheel or the component closest to the traction wheel and coaxial with the traction wheel.

The use of the rope clamp does not need to change the original elevator structural system and is a more direct and effective method. Therefore, rope clamps are often used in the development and design of hospital bed elevators, which are installed in the traction frame between the traction sheave and the guide wheel.

The WEBSTAR bed elevator can control the running speed accurately and smoothly. Please contact us if you need it: hospital elevator.
