Elevator Door System

The elevator door system is a critical subsystem of the elevator, responsible for ensuring passenger entry and exit safety and shaft isolation. It uses a linkage mechanism between the car door and landing door to seal the entrance and exit during elevator operation, preventing people or objects from falling into the shaft or being sheared. Its main functions include:


Safety Protection: When the landing door and car door are closed, they form a closed space, ensuring that the elevator only starts when the doors are fully locked.


Smooth Passage: The automatic door opening and closing mechanism provides efficient entry and exit.


Anti-Pinch Protection: Integrated devices such as light curtains and safety touch panels automatically open the door leaf when encountering an obstruction.

Core Components
Elevator Door Operator
01.

Car Door

Installed at the car entrance, it moves with the car and is driven by the door operator system (such as a permanent magnet synchronous motor or variable frequency drive).

Includes a door blade mechanism to open the landing door.

02.

Landing Door (Hall Door)

Fixed at the shaft entrance of each floor, it has no independent power supply and relies on the car door blade mechanism to open. After closing, the elevator automatically resets via a weight or spring to prevent accidental opening when the elevator is not level.

Supporting Mechanisms

Door Operator System: Controls the door opening and closing speed. Common types include connecting rod drive or synchronous toothed belt drive.

Door Locking System: A mechanical lock hook combined with an electrical safety contact verifies that the door leaf engagement depth is ≥7mm before allowing the elevator to operate.

01

Anti-Pinch Device

Safety Touch Plate: Mechanically senses the door edge and triggers door opening when pressure is applied.

Light Curtain: Infrared light forms a barrier that stops the door from closing when blocked.

02

Operating Principle and Safety Mechanism

Door Opening and Closing Process: When the elevator car stops at a landing, the car door blade engages the landing door lock wheel, driving the landing door to open synchronously. When closing the door, the door operator decelerates and closes, and the elevator starts after the door lock is verified.

03

Rigidity Requirements

Door leaf clearance ≤6mm (passenger elevator) to prevent foreign objects from becoming trapped.

The emergency unlocking device is for professional use only. Fault Protection: If the door lock fails or the electrical switch is short-circuited, the elevator stops immediately, preventing the risk of the elevator running with the door open.

04

Types and Maintenance Key Points

Common Types: Horizontal sliding doors (such as center-opening doors and side-opening doors) are predominant, while vertical sliding doors are often used in freight elevators.

Regular Maintenance: Clean the tracks for dust and check the door lock function every 15 days; annually inspect the clearance and anti-pinch device sensitivity.
