Features and Structure of Escalator

Escalators are one of the largest, most expensive machines people use on a regular basis, but they're also one of the simplest. At its most basic level, an escalator is just a simple variation on the conveyer belt. A pair of rotating chain loops pull a series of stairs in a cons­tant cycle, moving a lot of people a short distance at a good speed. With the development of modern urbanization process, elevator manufacturers in China have a broad market prospect.
 
In this article, we'll look inside an escalator to find out exactly how elevators work. Modern elevators are the crucial element that makes it practical to live and work dozens of stories above ground. High-rise cities like New York absolutely depend on elevators. Even in smaller multi-story buildings, elevators are essential for making offices and apartments accessible to handicapped people.
 
The structure of an elevator is incredibly simple -- it's just a compartment attached to a lifting system. Tie a piece of rope to a box, and you've got a basic elevator. Of course, modern passenger and freight elevators are a lot more elaborate than this. They need advanced mechanical systems to handle the substantial weight of the elevator car and its cargo. Additionally, they need control mechanisms so passengers can operate the elevator, and they need safety devices to keep everything running smoothly.
 
The most popular elevator design is the roped elevator. In roped elevators, the car is raised and lowered by traction steel ropes rather than pushed from below.The ropes are attached to the elevator car, and looped around a sheave. A sheave is just a pulley with a grooves around the circumference. The sheave grips the hoist ropes, so when you rotate the sheave, the ropes move too.
 
Conveyor escalator is one of common escalators used today. Conveyor elevator systems lift a car using a hydraulic ram, a fluid-driven piston mounted inside a cylinder.The cylinder is connected to a fluid-pumping system. The hydraulic system has three parts: a tank, a pump and a valve. The pump forces fluid from the tank into a pipe leading to the cylinder. When the valve is opened, the pressurized fluid will take the path of least resistance and return to the fluid reservoir. But when the valve is closed, the pressurized fluid has nowhere to go except into the cylinder. As the fluid collects in the cylinder, it pushes the piston up, lifting the elevator car.
 
In a short, it can be seen that escalator plays an important role in people's life in accordance with its advantages and application. When you want to buy it, you should know what function you need, and then choose the ideal escalator.
