What should be paid attention to when installing a home villa elevator in a self-built house?

With the advancement of new rural construction and the improvement of living standards, more and more rural families are considering installing elevators in their own houses. Rural life, fresh air, and using home elevators to go up and down stairs are the life scenes that many people dream of, and are also the best choice for elderly care at home. So, what should we pay attention to when choosing domestic elevators for self-construction?

First of all, we must clearly choose the classification of domestic elevators. At present, there are three main options for domestic elevators: traction elevators, spiral elevators, and hydraulic elevators. The spiral elevator relies on the mutual movement between the nut and the screw to operate the elevator car. Due to structural limitations, the running speed is usually slow. The two-stage triple spiral elevator has a car design, light weight, low noise, and is more suitable for installing duplex buildings, LOFT apartments, and overlapping villas. Due to many problems, hydraulic elevators have almost disappeared in China and have been more widely used in factories and workshops. However, the traction elevator is pulled by the traction main engine, the car and the counterweight are balanced with each other, the operation is stable, the technology is mature, and the energy saving and efficiency are high. However, there are higher requirements for civil engineering dimensions: pit depth, top floor height, and well width and depth dimensions. Self-built houses generally reserve the installation of elevators of sufficient size and sufficient pit depth, so traction elevators are most suitable for installation.

After choosing the type of elevator to be installed, the owner can contact the technicians of the elevator manufacturer to design the elevator shaft at the beginning of the building, because the elevator shaft is built at the same time as the house. Generally speaking, according to the technical capabilities of the manufacturer, the pit depth of the traction elevator is required to be between 150 mm and 450 mm, and the height of the top floor is required to be above 2500 mm. It should be noted here that the pit should be well waterproof. Since the depth of domestic elevators is all special-shaped, as long as the area of the car does not exceed 1.6 square meters, the width and depth of the shaft can be arbitrarily matched as needed. At the same time, according to the guidance of the manufacturer's technicians, determine the position and size of the inner ring beam, door head beam, sill beam and main frame beam of the shaft. After the elevator shaft is completed, contact the manufacturer's technicians to check the size of the door, and then arrange the production and installation of the elevator.

After the shaft size is determined, the door opening method, counterweight method, interior decoration, etc. can be determined by the manufacturer. According to the principle of convenience of use, the door opening method of the home elevator is selected in the order of automatic sub-door, side door and hand sliding door. Generally speaking, it is most convenient for the elevator to open a door with a width of 700 mm or more. For doors with a width of 700 mm, the automatic separation door has the highest requirements for the width of the shaft. If it needs to reach 1550 or higher, the side door can be selected from 1300 to 1500. If the width of the elevator shaft is less than 1300, choose a manual sliding door design. Determine the car decoration, such as hairline stainless steel, mirror etched stainless steel, titanium, rose gold, solid wood, etc.

In the middle and late stages of decoration, the elevator can enter the site for installation. Generally, it will enter the site about a week after the installation is completed, and then the door stone, door cover and other decorations will be carried out at the elevator door. In order to avoid collisions with the elevator when carrying heavy objects during the decoration process after installation, the elevator manufacturer usually moves the car to the top floor first, then cuts off the power and locks the elevator. After the decoration is completed, when the owner moves in, he will contact the manufacturer to open the elevator and start using it.
