Passenger elevator: an elevator designed for transporting passengers, which has a wide range of uses.

Cargo elevator: an elevator that can carry people, mainly designed for transporting goods, and used in factories and warehouses.

Passenger and freight elevator: an elevator that mainly transports passengers, but can also transport goods.

Bed elevator: an elevator designed to transport beds (including patients) and medical equipment, used in hospitals and medical centers.

Residential elevator: designed to facilitate the transportation of passengers, furniture, sofas, stretchers, etc. , and used in residential buildings.

Miscellaneous brand elevator: the car space is limited, and personnel are not allowed to enter. Mainly used to transport a small amount of food, books and documents.

Car elevator: an elevator designed for transporting vehicles and used for three-dimensional parking equipment.

Special elevators: elevators used in some occasions with special requirements, including explosion-proof elevator, anti-corrosion elevators and marine elevators.

Sightseeing elevator: At least one side of the shaft and car wall is a transparent elevator, where passengers can watch the scenery outside the car, mainly to transport passengers.

Marine elevator: refers to the elevator used on the ship. Usually used for large ships.

Escalator: it is an inclined transportation equipment installed between two floors to transport passengers by moving steps. The inclination angle shall not exceed 35 degrees. It is divided into ordinary type and public transportation type.

Automatic sidewalk: it is a horizontal passenger transport equipment installed on the ground, with an inclination of no more than 12 degrees.

2, according to the speed:

Low-speed elevator, usually refers to the elevator whose speed is lower than1.00 m/s.

Medium-speed ladder, usually refers to the elevator with the speed of 1.00 ~ 2.00 m/s.

High-speed elevator, usually refers to the elevator with a speed greater than 2.00 m/s.

Ultra-high-speed elevator with speed exceeding 5.00 m/s

3, according to the control mode:

Handle switch control: the elevator driver controls the handle switch of the steering wheel in the car to realize the start, rise, fall, leveling and stop of the elevator.

Button control elevator: It is a simple automatic control elevator with automatic leveling function. There are two control modes: outside button control and inside button control.

Signal-controlled elevator: It is an elevator with a driver and has a high degree of automatic control. In addition to the functions of automatic floor leveling and automatic door opening, it also has the functions of car instruction registration, landing call registration, automatic floor parking, forward parking and automatic reversing.

Centralized control elevator: it is a fully automatic elevator developed on the basis of signal control. The main difference from signal control is that it can be operated without a driver.

Parallel control elevator: the control lines of 2 ~ 3 elevators are connected in parallel for logic control, and the call button outside the landing is used. The elevator itself has a centralized selection function.

Elevator group control: microcomputer parallel control and unified dispatch of multiple elevators. Group control has two forms: program control and echelon intelligent control.

4, according to the elevator driver points:

Elevator with driver: the operation mode of the elevator is controlled by a full-time driver.

Unmanned elevator: passengers enter the elevator car, press the floor button on the control panel, and the elevator will automatically run to the destination floor. This kind of elevator generally has the function of centralized selection.

An elevator with/without a driver, which can change the control circuit, is generally controlled by passengers and is controlled by the driver when the passenger flow is large or necessary.

5. Dedicated elevator:

Inclined elevator: the car runs along the inclined guide rail in the inclined shaft, which is a conveying equipment integrating sightseeing and transportation. Especially due to the lack of land, the diagonal elevator developed rapidly after the residence moved to the mountainous area.

Three-dimensional parking lot elevator: different types of elevators can be selected according to different parking lots.

Building construction elevator: it is a kind of machine that uses the meshing of gear and rack (including pin gear transmission and chain transmission, or wire rope hoisting) to make the hanging cage move vertically or obliquely to transport people or materials, and is mainly used for building construction and maintenance. It can also be used as a long-term vertical transportation machine for warehouses, docks, docks, towers and chimneys.
