[0036] As shown in Fig.4, Fig.5 and Fig.5a, the vertical guiding rope mechanism 30 is formed with a pair of rope guiding pulleys 31 which are disposed at the two ends of the protruding supporting frame 23 of the main frame 21 and a pair of vertical guiding ropes 32 which are moveable on two rope guiding pulleys 31 : one end of each vertical guiding rope 32 is fixed to the guiding rope crab 33; pair of rope stretching weights 34 are fixed to the other ends of two vertical guiding ropes 32; and rope stretching weight locks 35 are disposed on pair of the rope stretching weights 34. According to the preferred embodiment, the rope stretching weight locks 35 are electromagnetic ones.

[0037] As shown in Fig.4, Fig.5 and Fig.5a, the cabin operating mechanism 40 is formed with a cabin rope crab 41 which is actuated by using a motor (not shown in the figures) (according to the preferred embodiment, the cabin rope crab 41 is independent on the guiding rope crab 33 of the vertical guiding rope mechanism 30), the first cabin operating pulley 42, the second cabin operating pulley 43 which is rotable and parallel to the first cabin operating pulley 42, and the first and second cabin operating ropes 44 and 45 which can move on the first and second cabin operating pulleys 42 and 43 to make the cabin 50 move up and down on the vertical guiding rope mechanism 30 (a detailed description will be mentioned below).

[0038] With reference to Fig.5 and Fig.5a, the distance between the first and second cabin operating pulleys 42 and 43 is determined based on the width of the cabin 50 so that the cabin 50 is always balanced. This distance is preferably in the middle of the cabin 50. The present invention is limited to specific distance.

[0039] According to the preferred embodiment, the first and second cabin operating pulleys 42 and 43 are similarly structured to perform similar functions; the first and second cabin operating ropes 44 and 45 are similarly disposed and have the same functions.

The rotation direction of upper pulleys 421 is perpendicular to the rotation direction of the lower pulley 422. That is, the rotation direction of upper pulleys 421 is different from the rotation direction of the lower pulley 422; the upper pulleys 421 are standing ones, that is they can only rotate around their axes and cannot move. On the other hand, the lower pulley 422 are movable ones, which means it can rotate around its axis and can move vertically together with the cabin 50 when the first cabin operating rope 44 is lifted or lowered by the rope rolling and releasing mechanism of the cabin rope crab 41 (a more detailed description will be mentioned below).

[0041] As illustrated in Fig.5a, the first cabin operating rope 44 forms a closed loop. Particularly, the first cabin operating rope 44 is around the upper pulleys 421 and supports the lower pulley 422; both the ends of the first cabin operating rope 44 are fixed to cabin rope crab 41 in one direction so that when the cabin rope crab 41 rotates to roll the cabin operating rope 44, the lower pulley 422 will rotate to move up through the guiding rotation of the upper pulleys 412. Conversely, when the cabin rope crab 41 rotates to release the cabin operating rope 44, the lower pulley 422 will rotate to move down through the guiding rotation of upper pulleys 421.

[0043] As also shown in Fig.4 and Fig.4a, each cabin guide component 61 formed with a base plate 611 which is fixed to the lateral surface of the cabin 50 and two pairs of guide pulleys 612 which are placed perpendicularly on base plate 611 to form two directions of fixing and guiding on pair of vertical guiding ropes 32. In particular, pair of vertical guiding ropes 32 of vertical guiding rope mechanism 30 is inserted between each pair of guide pulleys 612 so that two pairs of guide pulleys 612 of the hoist control mechanism 60 can rotate to move on pair of vertical guiding ropes 32 through the cabin operating mechanism 40.

[0044] As shown in Fig.6, the cabin locking and guiding mechanism 62 formed with the first mounting bracket pair 621, three guiding-braking fixed pulleys 622 which disposed rotable to form a line on the pair of the first mounting bracket 621 and be side one of the vertical guiding rope 32, the pair of the second mounting bracket 623 which is fixed to the pair the first mounting bracket 621, two guiding-braking movable pulleys 624 which are able to rotate to form a line on the second mounting bracket pair 623 disposed to the three guiding-braking fixed pulleys 622, a interlocking bar 625 which is placed horizontally and can rotate in a seesaw rotation on the pair of the second mounting bracket 623, a locking component 626 which consists of a locking thrust axis 626a which disposed at an inclined angle a=15° from the vertical direction and the upper end of which rests on an end one of the interlocking bar 625, and a locking spring 626b attached to a lower end of the locking thrust shaft 626a so that it is always in state of pushing the locking thrust shaft 626a upwards to move horizontally two guiding-braking movable pulleys 624 to press the vertical guiding rope 32 abuting on three guiding-braking pulleys 622; and a unlocking cylinder 627 is installed on the frame 51 of the cabin 50, the free end of which abuts on the other end of the interlocking bar 625 to adjust the balance of the locking spring 626b.

[0045] As shown in Fig.7, each one of the vertical guiding rope stretching and fixing assembly 70 placed on the ground and consists of a base plate 71, a guide hollow pillar 72 which has a guide hole 73 which formed at the center axis and a cone-shaped mouth 74 corresponding to the shape of the rope stretching weight

33 of the vertical guiding rope mechanism 30 so that the rope stretching weight

34 can be placed therein, a rope stretching hydraulic cylinder 75 disposed in the guide hole 73; when the rope stretching weight 34 is placed inside the the cone- shaped mouth 74, the rope lock set 34 of the vertical guiding rope mechanism 30 will be actuated to lock the rope stretching weight 33 to the rope stretching cylinder 75 to stretch the vertical guiding rope 32.

With the weight of the cabin 50, the lower pulleys 422 will be rotated to move down through the guiding rotation of two pairs of the upper pulleys 421. Conversely, when the cabin rope crab 41 rotates to roll (shortening the cable) the first and second cabin operating ropes 44 and 45, the lower pulleys 422 will be pulled and rotated to move up through the guiding rotation of pair of upper pulleys 421 to make the cabin 50 moved to any position by the hoist controlling mechanism 60.

[0066] The operating principles of the hoisting system according to the second embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with the main components as follow:

[The operation of the navigation mechanism 1]

[0067] The movable robot 4 is usually on the top of the rotation wheel 102 to be the position I in Fig.8, (however, the movable robot 4 is also on the top of one of pairs of the horizontal guiding rail 201), when the controlling system commands the movable robot 4 to move, for example, on the left side of the building B, the rotation wheel 102 will rotary and match the positing rail 104 with pairs of the guiding rails 201 of the horizontal guiding rail system 2 on the left side of the building 1 by the rotation wheel driving actuator 103.

[The operation of the horizontal running vehicle 401 of the movable robot 4] [0068] As shown in Fig.8, the wheel driving engine 4013 operates to drive the pairs of the wheels 4012 rotating so that the horizontal running vehicle 401 moves to the above comer of the left side and to be located in the position II in Fig.8 by the horizontal arrester 202 of the horizontal guiding rail system 2, that is, the pairs of the wheels 4012 rotary on the top of the horizontal guiding rail 201.

[The operation of the horizontal running vehicle 402]
