Abstract

W artykule przedstawiono nowatorskie rozwiązanie systemu wielokabinowej bezlinowej windy do transportu pionowego i poziomego oraz w dwóch kierunkach jednocześnie. W oparciu o dokonane autorskie zgłoszenia patentowe do Urzędu Patentowego Rzeczypospolitej Polskiej opisano budowę i zasadę działania bezlinowej windy. Wskazano zalety zastosowania proponowanego rozwiązania w nowoczesnych, wielkopowierzchniowych, wielokondygnacyjnych budynkach. W podsumowaniu wskazano kierunki dalszych badań nad prototypowym rozwiązaniem. 
 

This article presents a novel rope-free multi-cabin elevator system for vertical and horizontal transport and simultaneous integration of movement in two directions. Using the patent applications to the Patent Office of the Republic of Poland, the structure and the principle of operation of the rope-free elevator is presented. The advantages of using the mechatronic rope-free multi-cabin elevator in novel, multi-area high rise buildings are presented. The directions of further studies are outlined.
