The invention discloses a novel elevator. The novel elevator comprises a traction table; a main rod is arranged in the center of the bottom of the traction table, the main rod is provided with a mainguide rail in a sleeve mode, a main traction block is arranged at the tail end of the main guide rail, and the main traction block is connected to a main motor arranged on the traction table through amain traction rope; and a lifting plate is arranged on the main guide rail, six lift cars which are combined into a hexagon are arranged between the lifting plate and the traction table by taking themain rod as a central shaft, and the tops of the lift cars are connected to the traction motor arranged on the traction table through lift car traction ropes. Compared with the prior art, the novel elevator has the advantages of being novel in structure, innovative and unique and capable of being controlled intelligently, multi-stage combined and separated state of the elevator is realized, the hexagonal combined lift cars can greatly distribute passengers in an elevator taking peak time, and the time for a client to wait for an elevator can be greatly shortened; and a dual protection deviceis provided when the elevator breaks down, the elevator has the function of real-time language broadcasting about the floor to reach, so that the situation that passengers over taking can be effectively avoided.
