An economical
elevator additionally arranged outside a building comprises an old building, an old stair, an
elevator shaft, a shaft door, a car, a
car door, an
elevator door platform, a newly-built walkway, a newly-built stair, an elevator
machine room, a
harmonic speed reduction traction
machine, a traction wheel, a traction guide wheel, a steel
wire rope, a car guide wheel, a car guide rail, counterweight iron plates, counterweight guide wheels, counterweight guide rails, Hall sensors, strip-shaped permanent magnets, an intelligent controller and operating buttons; the
harmonic speed reduction traction
machine is a hub type traction machine integrating a
harmonic speed
reducer, a two-pole outer rotor brushless
permanent magnet direct current motor and the traction wheel; when the two-pole outer rotor brushless
permanent magnet direct current motor is
shut down, large magnetic resistance exists between a rotor and a
stator, a
speed reduction ratio of the harmonic speed
reducer is large; when the harmonic speed reduction traction machine is
shut down, the harmonic speed reduction traction machine has a strong self-locking function which is equivalent to a braking state, a
braking system of the traction machine is omitted, the harmonic speed reduction traction machine is simple and cheap, and the safety and the reliability meet the standard requirements.
