[knowledge] elevator safety knowledge, you do not have to master

After this accident, it has caused great public concern. Various elevator safety self-help knowledge has been released, but some may not be useful. Here, Xiao Bian talks with everyone about elevator knowledge.

Many people are worried about the sudden drop of the elevator during the operation, but in fact, although the “elevator fall” is a fault often encountered, the elevator is not really falling.

"Elevator falls" generally has two situations:

Emergency stop during elevator operation

In general, this is because the safety circuit or the door lock circuit is disconnected during operation, causing the elevator to stop. Passengers will feel the numbness of the leg, which is actually caused by the emergency stop of the elevator.

The “elevator fell down,” which has been misunderstood by most people , is similar to the probability of 5 million in a lottery ticket .

Some articles on the Internet explain that “the sudden drop of elevators under normal circumstances is caused by the breakage of the traction elevator's steel wire rope.” It also makes people feel that the wire rope is very easy to break off...

In fact, this wire rope is not as fragile as you think. Elevator cars are pulled by steel wire ropes, and the larger the load, the more steel wire ropes are. For an elevator in a typical residential building, at least three steel wire ropes are required. Each steel wire rope has approximately 10 small steel strands, and each steel strand has 10 steel wires. The entire strand is replaced as soon as one strand is broken. In theory, the load bearing capacity of a wire rope is enough, and there is no fear of breaking one of the two. Moreover, the probability of a complete disconnection of the wire rope is really scarce.

In addition to calling for help, do not want to open the door and save yourself. There have been many examples of casualties caused by self-rescue failures. Do not go to the next one.

We can often see this sentence - "If it is trapped in the elevator, first of all to calm down, because in the limited space of the elevator, the amount of oxygen is also limited, the body oxygen consumption in a calm, so try to keep Calmness can keep trapped people from suffocating due to lack of oxygen in a short time."

But in fact - the elevator car is not enclosed space and there is no danger of suffocation.

But you still have to keep calm.

If the elevator is running and the floor buttons are useful, it means that the elevator is not bad at all. If the elevator fails, it will automatically return to the base station to reset. At this time, pressing each floor once does not have much effect. Some elevators will approach the floor level and open the door. Most elevators will return to the base station to reset. At this time, the elevator is generally pressed. Can't floor.

If it is free fall, what posture is useless (see the next article); if it is only an abnormal decline, this can be buffered to avoid joint dislocation.

Escalators are more prone to accidents than lifts, so use escalators more carefully. After seeing the pedals, it's time to get up and down. Hold your hand and hold the handrail. Hold your attention to your long hair and skirt. Note your child's rubber foam shoes. Use the lift when you push the baby carriage. The elevator is not a playground. Take care of the children around you.

Finally, Xiao Bian also reminds everyone that these bad habits must be changed! Change it! Change it!
