Many people now have elevators in their homes, especially some villas or residential buildings with relatively high floors. Nowadays, many screw-type home elevators are used instead of traditional elevators. So screw-type home elevators have What are the advantages? What are the disadvantages of screw-type home elevators compared to ordinary elevators? Now the editor will introduce to you the advantages and disadvantages of screw-type home elevators to give you a reference when purchasing.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of screw-type home elevators?
Advantages of screw-type home elevators:
1. Saving building area. Imported screw-type drives should be the most popular ones in China at present. Home elevator products that save building area have no counterweight, no wire ropes, and no car walls, so the minimum installation space only requires 900X900 mm to install a screw-type home elevator.
2. Low civil construction requirements. The imported screw-type home elevator runs slowly, and because of its relatively safe mechanical structure, there is no need for buffers, speed limiters and other devices, so there is no need to dig the elevator foundation. The pit only needs the height of a decorative surface (50 mm), and there is no need to make special load-bearing ring beams. It can be installed as long as there is a wall, especially the height of the top floor, which can be as low as 2000 mm.
3. Flexible structure, stable and reliable. The imported screw-type home elevator can easily realize right-angle door opening, through-opening door, and 3-side door opening. It does not affect the stability of the elevator and does not increase the hoistway area. The screw-type home elevator has a simple structure. It is not prone to failure and has few wearing parts, saving customers the trouble of later maintenance and repairs.
4. The imported screw elevator has higher safety performance. The screw home elevator is said to never fall down. Judging from its main structure, it is indeed relatively safe and reliable. In fact, there is always something supporting the screw elevator below. Even if the power is lost and the body falls in free fall, the screw will drive the motor to do a large negative work, and the descent will be very slow. Therefore, you will not fall when riding this kind of elevator, and as long as the lock is locked Hold the screw to prevent free fall.
Disadvantages of screw-type home elevators:
1. There is a certain amount of mechanical noise. Since the motor follows the platform, the mechanical noise of the motor will inevitably reach the user's ears. , but many users can hear this sound. Users who are very particular about quietness and have obsessive-compulsive disorder may not be able to adapt to screw elevators.
2. The running speed is relatively slow. Due to the limitations of the mechanical structure, the screw type home elevator cannot run too fast. It can only reach 0.15-0.25 meters per second at most. Compared with the traction type, the running speed per second is relatively slow. The running speed is 0.4 seconds, which is half the difference. Users who care about efficiency may not like it too much.
3. Due to the limitation of the screw, the lifting height of the elevator is limited, so we rarely see screw elevators in places with high lifting height requirements; but for villas, residences, small commercial places, etc. Where the lifting height requirements are not high, screw elevators are definitely more suitable.
Above, the editor introduced the advantages of screw-type home elevators, which are mainly divided into four points, as well as three disadvantages of screw-type home elevators, all of which were conducted from an objective perspective. Evaluation, consumers can refer to these aspects before considering whether to buy and install a screw home elevator. The editor suggests that if you need to save space or make it more beautiful, you can consider using a screw-type home elevator. It’s a good choice for home decoration
