Diseño y simulación de un elevador vertical semicabinado de dos pisos para una persona con movilidad reducida mediante software especializado

Abstract

A two-story semi-cabined vertical elevator for a person with reduced mobility was designed and simulated using specialized software, to improve the transportation processes of people with reduced mobility between levels of a house and the danger scenarios that these actions entail. The elevator is designed under the accessibility standards in Ecuador "NTE INEN 3139: Accessibility of people to the physical environment, vertical circulations, elevators" and the "ISO 8100-30 Standard: Elevators for people and goods". The elevator was designed for a maximum load of 175 [Kg]. Based on this data, it was determined that the area of the cabin is 1.54 [m2], complying with the established standards. In addition, the cabin is lifted to a height of 2.40 [m] at a speed of 5 [m/min] by using an electric hoist. This hoist operates with a voltage of 120 [V] and is designed to support a maximum load capacity of 500 [kg]. In addition, the hoist has a power rating of 1000 [W]. The local market was searched to obtain the most competitive costs for the structure. After a thorough analysis, the total construction and installation cost was estimated to be approximately $3381.
