挑战
Champion Elevators Inc. 是一家总部位于德克萨斯州的齿轮齿条驱动电梯设计和安装领域的领导者,该公司面临着重新设计符合严格的高层建筑和电气规范的经济高效且安全的电梯的挑战建造业。该公司必须确保他们的电梯符合两套不同的标准:建筑和电气法规,以及本质上是物理特性的安全标准。经过近三十年的行业经营,冠军电梯知道必须遵守建筑规范。考虑到明显的风险,Champion 的工程师通过分析来执行每项工作。确保安全性和遵守规范和法规属于两种截然不同类型的工程分析。电梯的安全保证——主要是测量最大应力并确保足够的安全裕度——由 ANSYS Inc. 的 ANSYS DesignSpace® 软件进行有限元建模和有限元分析 (FEM/FEA) 处理。
关于客户
Champion Elevators Inc. 是一家总部位于德克萨斯州的公司,专门从事齿轮齿条驱动电梯的设计和安装。该公司是该领域的领导者,其电梯应用于各种环境,包括高层建筑工地、海上石油和天然气钻井平台、炼油厂和发电厂、港口设施和造船厂以及船舶。该公司的基本设计包括由标准节段组装而成的塔、将其连接到结构外部的刚性拉杆、电动齿轮齿条驱动器、金属板电梯轿厢、自动制动以及塔底部的弹簧式缓冲器。塔楼。该公司以其定制设计独特产品的能力而自豪,每件产品均按照客户及其工程师确定的严格规格制造。公司拥有员工 150 名。
解决方案
Champion Elevators 使用 ANSYS DesignSpace 减轻电梯轿厢的重量和成本,同时符合安全法规。该公司于 2000 年开始重新设计其产品,以减轻重量和成本并简化制造。主要的重新设计工作集中在电梯轿厢的结构上,以减轻重量、简化制造工艺并降低成本。汽车重新设计用两个聚氨酯减震系统取代了四个弹簧。它们重量更轻,成本更低,并且简化了制造,因为只需要两个缓冲器连接点而不是四个弹簧盒。新的着陆门不是由配备计算机和有限元软件的工程师设计的,而是由一位长期员工手工计算的。重新设计使它们更小、更坚固。事实上,他们获得了更好的安全系数,因此可以使用更轻的钢材。他们使用 DesignSpace 来确保安全边际得到保护。
