ELECTRICAL RESCUE SYSTEM FOR RESCUING PASSENGERS FROM AN ELEVATOR CAR, A TOOL FOR THE SAME, AND A CORRESPONDING METHOD

摘要

An electrical rescue system for rescuing passengers from an elevator car (102) comprises an elevator car (102) movable in an elevator shaft (100) by imbalance between the elevator car (102) and a counterweight (104), a plurality of platform doors (4) providing access to the elevator car (102), and a plurality of normally-closed brakes (160, 162) openable by at least one electromagnet (9) and configured to prevent the movement of the elevator car (102) with respect to the elevator shaft (100) when the at least one electromagnet (9) is not energized and to allow the movement when the at least one electromagnet (9) is energized. The electrical rescue system further comprises an electrical connector (6) located at or in a platform door (4) or its frame structure (5), at or in a number of MAP panels, or at the platform (3), and connected to the at least one electromagnet (9) for supplying electrical current to the electromagnet (9) to energize the electromagnet (9).
