电梯发展史（Elevator history） The first world elevator industry development brief history Long ago, people used primitive lifting tools to transport people and goods. Around 1100 BC, the ancient Chinese invented the pulley, which used the rotary motion of the reel to complete the lifting movement, thus increasing the height of the objects. In 236 b. c., Greek mathematician Archimedes designed a lifting device consisting of winches and a pulley block. The driving force of these lifting tools is usually human or animal power. In the early 19th century, in Europe and the United States, the steam engine was used as the driving force for lifting tools. In 1845, William? Thomson developed a hydraulic lift, whose hydraulic drive is water. Despite the lifting tool by many rich innovative engineers to continue to improve, but are recognised by the industry of elevator still does not appear, until 1852, when the world first safety elevator was born. In 1889, the lift began to use electric power, and the elevator actually appeared. Elevator in drive control technology to the development of dc motor drive control, ac single speed motor drive control, ac double-speed motor drive control, dc drive control gear, gearless speed, ac regulating speed drive control, ac variable voltage variable frequency adjustable speed drive control, ac permanent magnet synchronous motor drive control with frequency conversion speed and so on stage. At the end of the 19th century, the operation performance of the elevator was significantly improved by the presence of the dc elevator controlled by the ward - Leonard system. Began in the early 20th century, ac induction motor drive elevator, then slot wheel (i.e., traction type) driving the elevator instead of the drum mandrel driven elevator, for long stroke and highly security of modern elevator laid a solid foundation. In the first half of the 20th century, the dc speed regulation system had a large proportion in medium and high speed elevators. In 1967,
