The car is the part of the elevator that directly carries passengers or goods, serving as the "passenger cabin" of the elevator. Its core components include the car frame, car base, car top, and car doors, each of which plays an important role.
- Car frame: As the supporting structure of the car, the car frame bears the entire weight of the car (including the weight of passengers and goods), and transmits this weight to the traction system. It is a key component ensuring the stable operation of the car. The structural strength and stability of the car frame directly affect the safety performance of the elevator. It is usually made of high-strength steel, and some high-end elevators will also reduce weight and enhance strength through optimized structural design.
- Carriage Bottom: Located at the bottom of the elevator car, its main function is to carry passengers and goods. It also has a buffer device (such as a buffer) installed on it. In the event of an accidental fall of the elevator, it can absorb the impact energy and reduce the risk of injury. For example, the "Composite Carriage Bottom Based on Press-Fitting Connection" developed by Zhejiang Jutuo Technology enhances the surface levelness and structural stability of the carriage bottom through innovative press-fitting connection technology and strengthened rib design, further improving the safety performance and riding comfort of the elevator car.
- Car roof: An important component of the elevator car, it is commonly used to install lighting equipment, ventilation devices, and control panels for maintenance purposes. It also serves as the working platform for elevator maintenance personnel. The structural design of the car roof must take into account both functionality and safety. For instance, the "press-fitted car roof structure" developed by Jutuo Technology reduces welding operations, thereby improving the accuracy and stability of the car roof, and also provides more convenient conditions for the installation of lighting and ventilation equipment.
- Elevator Door: The door used for entering and exiting the elevator car, divided into manual doors and automatic doors (currently the mainstream is automatic doors). Its core function is to ensure passenger safety and prevent passengers from falling into the shaft during elevator operation. The elevator door is equipped with a door lock device (elevator door lock), and the elevator can only start running after the door is fully closed and locked; at the same time, the elevator door also has a barrier prevention device (such as infrared sensing, safety touch plates), which will automatically open the door if an obstacle is detected during the closing process to avoid injuring passengers or items.
-Carriage door track: The guide rail that enables the carriage doors to open and close. It ensures that the carriage doors operate smoothly and without any jerking or deviation during the opening and closing process, and is an important auxiliary component for ensuring the normal operation of the carriage doors.
