Technical problem to be solved by the invention

Conventionally, in an elevator apparatus, it is sometimes required to secure an avoidance space in a pit of a hoistway. On the other hand, in order to reduce uneven load on the car, the compensating rope is suspended from the vicinity of the center of the car bottom, and the compensating rope may intrude into an escape space set in the pit of the hoistway.

However, the elevator apparatus having the interference prevention device described in patent document 1 has a structure in which the suspension position is horizontally moved when the car buffer is fully compressed, and therefore, there is a problem in that a space to be saved in the pit of the hoistway during maintenance work cannot be secured.

Accordingly, the present invention provides an elevator apparatus capable of preventing a compensating rope from entering an escape space in a pit of a hoistway.

Means for solving the problems

In order to solve the above problem, an elevator apparatus according to the present invention includes: a car that ascends and descends in a hoistway; a counterweight that moves up and down in the hoistway in a direction opposite to the car; a compensating rope having one end connected to a lower portion of the counterweight and the other end connected to a lower portion of the car and suspended therefrom; a compensating rope supporting member supporting the other end side of the compensating rope; and a compensation rope suspension position adjustment bracket that movably supports the compensation rope support member, wherein the compensation rope suspension position adjustment bracket includes a plurality of adjustment recesses that engage the compensation rope support member, and the adjustment recesses have rounded portions in a moving direction of the compensation rope support member.

Effects of the invention

According to the present invention, it is possible to provide an elevator apparatus capable of preventing a compensating rope from entering an escape space in a pit of a hoistway.

Detailed Description

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

Example 1

Fig. 1 is a schematic configuration diagram of an elevator apparatus according to embodiment 1 of the present invention. As shown in fig. 1, a main hoisting rope 1 is suspended on a sheave 2 and a deflector sheave 3 of a hoisting machine at the upper part of the elevator. The main rope 1 is connected to the upper part of the car 4 at one end and to the upper part of the counterweight 5 at the other end in the hoistway. The driving force of the hoisting machine raises and lowers the car 4 along the guide rails 6 in the hoistway, and simultaneously, the counterweight 5 is raised and lowered in the hoistway in the direction opposite to the car 4.

A part of the space inside the pit 100 of the hoistway is set as a relief space 7. The escape space 7 is a rectangular parallelepiped space that secures safety of the operator during maintenance and inspection work inside the pit 100.

The other end of a compensating rope 9 mounted on the lower part of the car 4 via a compensating rope suspension position adjusting mechanism 8 is connected to the lower part of the counterweight 5. The compensating rope 9 is suspended from the lower portions of the car 4 and the counterweight 5, and compensates for the influence of the difference in the weight ratio of the main rope 1 and the load applied to the car 4 due to the positional relationship between the car 4 and the counterweight 5. The compensating rope suspending position adjusting mechanism 8 is configured to be able to adjust the suspending position of the compensating rope 9 from the pit 100 in the hoistway, and the suspending position of the compensating rope 9 can be manually adjusted before maintenance inspection work, so that the compensating rope 9 can be prevented from entering the escape space 7 at an arbitrary car position.

Fig. 2 is a front view showing the structure of the compensating rope suspension position adjusting mechanism 8. As shown in fig. 2, a compensating rope suspension position adjusting bracket 11 bent in an L-shape is fixed to 2 fixing brackets 10 attached to the lower portion of the car 4. The compensating rope suspension position adjusting bracket 11 has: a plurality of adjustment recesses 12a, 12b, and 12c provided at regular intervals in a lower portion of the car 4 for adjusting a suspension position of the compensating rope 9; and a climbing prevention member 20 provided on the elastic body 15 fixing side in the adjustment concave portion 12a, the adjustment concave portion 12b, and the adjustment concave portion 12 c. The bottom surfaces of the adjustment concave portions 12a, 12b, and 12c on the opposite side to the fixing side of the elastic body 15 have R portions (rounded portions) and are configured like hooks.

Of the plurality of continuous adjustment recesses 12a, 12b, and 12c, the adjustment recess 12a closest to the center of the car 4 is a suspension position of the compensating rope 9 during normal operation of the elevator. During normal operation of the elevator, the compensating rope support member 13 engages with the adjustment recess 12 a. Since the compensating rope link 14 provided at the car-side end of the compensating rope 9 is fixed to the compensating rope support member 13, the compensating rope 9 is suspended with the compensating rope support member 13 as a fulcrum, and the other end of the compensating rope 9 is connected to the counterweight. When performing maintenance inspection work in the pit 100 of the hoistway, the worker can adjust the suspension position of the compensation rope 9 on the car side by pulling the compensation rope support member 13 in the horizontal direction via the compensation rope 9 and hooking it again to the adjustment concave portion 12b or the adjustment concave portion 12c of the compensation rope suspension position adjustment bracket 11.

The compensating rope supporting member 13 has one end of an elastic body 15 disposed near the center of the car 4, in other words, one end of an elastic body 15 disposed near the center of the car 4 is fixed to the compensating rope supporting member 13. Thus, by fixing the other end of the elastic body 15 to the lower portion of the car 4, the compensating rope support member 13 is always tensioned in the center direction of the car 4 by the elastic body 15. Since the compensation rope support member 13 is fixed by the anti-climbing member 20 of the compensation rope suspension position adjustment bracket 11 to restrict the operation, the tension generated by the elastic body 15 can suppress the vibration of the compensation rope support member 13 caused by the vibration of the elevator operation. Then, when the operator pulls the compensating rope 9 in the horizontal direction in the pit 100 of the hoistway, the compensating rope support member 13 can slide on the recessed surface round portion of the adjusting recessed portion 12 of the compensating rope suspending position adjusting bracket 11 due to the tension applied to the upper side of the adjusting recessed portion 12 by the elastic body 15. This facilitates the disengagement of the compensating rope supporting member 13 from the compensating rope suspending position adjusting bracket 11, and facilitates the manual suspending position restoring operation of the compensating rope 9. At this time, since the adjustment recesses 12 are arranged in parallel at the bottom of the car 4, the movement path length of the compensation rope support member 13 becomes shortest, and the tension of the elastic body 15 can be minimized.

Further, since the plurality of adjustment recesses 12a, 12b, and 12c provided at the same height of the compensation rope suspension position adjustment bracket 11 are provided, the fixed height of the compensation rope support member 13 is constant regardless of the suspension position, and therefore, the intrusion of the compensation rope 9 into the bottom surface of the pit 100 of the hoistway or the escape space 7 is prevented.

Fig. 3 is a plan view showing the structure of the compensating rope suspension position adjusting mechanism 8 shown in fig. 1. As shown in fig. 3, 2 compensating rope suspension position adjusting brackets 11 are attached to the left and right 2 fixing brackets 10 at narrow intervals in accordance with the size of the compensating rope 9. The compensating ropes 9 are suspended from between 2 compensating rope suspension position adjusting brackets 11, the other end of the compensating ropes 9 being connected to the counterweight 5.

Both ends of the compensating rope supporting member 13 are supported by 2 compensating rope suspension position adjusting brackets 11, and an elastic body 15 is connected between the 2 compensating rope suspension position adjusting brackets 11 in the center direction of the car 4 of the compensating rope supporting member 13, and tension is applied in the center direction of the car 4. The compensating rope supporting member 13 includes anti-slip portions 16 at both ends thereof to prevent the compensating rope from slipping off the compensating rope suspending position adjusting bracket 11. Further, the length of the compensating rope support member 13 is also shortened by the interval between the 2 compensating rope suspending position adjusting brackets 11, and the moment of the compensating rope support member 13 with respect to the pulling force applied to the compensating rope support member 13 by pulling the compensating rope 9 from the pit 100 of the hoistway is reduced, so that the movement of the compensating rope support member 13 can be easily performed from the pit 100 of the hoistway.

Fig. 4 is a front view showing a state in a normal operation of the elevator apparatus shown in fig. 1. As shown in fig. 4, during normal operation of the elevator apparatus, the compensating rope supporting member 13 is fixed near the center of the car 4 by the compensating rope suspension position adjusting bracket 11 attached to the car lower portion 17 via the fixing bracket 10. In this case, the car lower portion 17 refers to the entire bottom portion of the car 4 including the compensating rope suspension position adjusting mechanism 8. The compensating rope link portion 14 of the compensating rope 9 is fixed to the compensating rope supporting member 13, enters the escape space 7 with the compensating rope supporting member 13 as a fulcrum, and is suspended in the pit 100, and the other end of the compensating rope 9 is connected to the counterweight 5 along the guide rail 6. At this time, the suspension length of the compensating rope 9 can be adjusted by fixing the different compensating rope links 14 of the compensating rope 9 to the compensating rope support member 13.

A car-side compensating rope end fixing member 18 of the car lower portion 17 is provided near the center of the car 4 of the compensating rope suspending position adjusting bracket 11. The length of the compensating rope link 14 between the compensating rope supporting member 13 and the car-side compensating rope end fixing member 18 is set to a margin of a degree that does not cause the compensating rope 9 to be tightened even when the worker adjusts the suspension position of the compensating rope 9 from the pit 100 of the hoistway during maintenance inspection.

Fig. 5 is a front view showing a state during maintenance inspection work of the elevator apparatus shown in fig. 1. As shown in fig. 5, the compensating rope supporting member 13 is pulled by the operator in the pit 100 of the hoistway via the compensating rope link portion 14 of the compensating rope 9, and thereby, slidably moves on the concave surface of the compensating rope suspending position adjusting bracket 11 attached to the car lower portion 17, and then, comes out of the adjusting concave portion 12a closest to the center of the car 4, and gets on the upper end surface of the compensating rope suspending position adjusting bracket 11. From this state, the operator in the pit 100 of the hoistway further pulls the compensating rope support member 13 via the compensating rope 9, and the compensating rope support member 13 moves so as to slide on the upper end surface of the compensating rope suspension position adjusting bracket 11, and is hooked and fixed to the other adjusting recess 12c of the compensating rope suspension position adjusting bracket 11. At this time, since the position of the car-side compensating rope end fixing member 18 is not changed by changing the suspension position of the car-side compensating rope 9, the compensating rope 9 can be connected to the lower portion of the counterweight 5 along the guide rail 6 while preventing the lower end of the compensating rope 9 from further bending and allowing the compensating rope 9 to enter the escape space 7.

When the maintenance inspection work in the pit 100 of the hoistway is completed, the compensation rope support member 13 is pulled through the compensation rope 9, so that the engagement between the compensation rope support member 13 and the adjustment recess 12c is released, and the compensation rope support member 13 is raised on the upper surface of the compensation rope suspension position adjustment bracket 11. At this time, since the compensating rope supporting member 13 is applied with tension generated by the elastic body 15 in the center direction of the car 4, the elastic body 15 generates elastic force to restore the natural length by removing the tension of the compensating rope 9, and the compensating rope supporting member 13 naturally moves in the center direction of the car 4. Then, the operator in the pit 100 of the hoistway can bring the compensating rope supporting member 13 into engagement with the adjustment recess 12a by applying a tensile force to the compensating rope supporting member 13 via the compensating rope 9, and return to the state during normal operation shown in fig. 4.

In the present embodiment, the adjustment recess 12 of the compensation rope suspension position adjustment bracket 11 may be provided to be higher as being farther from the center of the car 4 in the horizontal direction in order to make the lower ends of the compensation ropes 9 uniform in height. In the present embodiment, the adjustment concave portions are provided at three positions of the adjustment concave portion 12a, the adjustment concave portion 12b, and the adjustment concave portion 12c, but the present invention is not limited thereto, and the number of the adjustment concave portions may be appropriately set.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, it is possible to provide an elevator apparatus capable of preventing intrusion of a compensating rope into an escape space in a pit of a hoistway.

Further, according to the present embodiment, the suspension position of the compensating rope can be manually adjusted from the pit of the hoistway at the time of maintenance inspection work in the pit of the hoistway.

Example 2

Fig. 6 is a front view showing the structure of a compensating rope suspension position adjusting mechanism according to embodiment 2 of another embodiment of the present invention. In the present embodiment, a suspension position change detection device 19a, a suspension position change detection device 19b, and a suspension position change detection device 19c are provided in the lower portions of the adjustment recess 12a, the adjustment recess 12b, and the adjustment recess 12c of the compensating rope suspension position adjustment bracket 11 attached by the fixing bracket 10, respectively, which is different from embodiment 1. The other structures are the same as those of embodiment 1, and the same components as those of embodiment 1 are denoted by the same reference numerals, and redundant description as that of embodiment 1 is omitted.

As shown in fig. 6, the suspension position change detecting device 19a, the suspension position change detecting device 19b, and the suspension position change detecting device 19c provided below the adjustment recess 12a, the adjustment recess 12b, and the adjustment recess 12c of the compensating rope suspension position adjusting bracket 11 have buttons. The suspension position change detection device 19a, the suspension position change detection device 19b, and the suspension position change detection device 19c are fixed to the position and height at which the push button can be pushed at the lower end of the compensation rope support member 13 engaged with the adjustment concave portion 12a, the adjustment concave portion 12b, and the adjustment concave portion 12 c. The suspension position change detecting device 19a, the suspension position change detecting device 19b, or the suspension position change detecting device 19c in the lower portion of the adjustment recess 12a, the adjustment recess 12b, or the adjustment recess 12c in the state where the compensation rope support member 13 is fixed is in a state where the button is always pressed by the tension of the elastic body 15, and the buttons of the other suspension position change detecting devices 19a, 19b, or 19c are not pressed. For example, when the button of the suspension position change detection device 19a located at the lower portion of the adjustment recess 12a closest to the center of the car 4 is pressed, the button of the suspension position change detection device 19a detects that the compensating rope link 14 is fixed so that the compensating rope 9 is in the normal suspension position, and the elevator apparatus can perform normal operation. On the other hand, when the button of the suspension position change detecting device 19b or the suspension position change detecting device 19c below the adjusting recess 12b or the adjusting recess 12c at the time of changing the suspension position of the compensating rope 9 is pressed, the button of the suspension position change detecting device 19b or the suspension position change detecting device 19c detects the change in the suspension position of the compensating rope 9, and the elevator apparatus cannot perform the normal operation. According to the above, it is possible to prevent the operator from forgetting to return to the suspended position of the compensating rope 9 when the maintenance inspection work is finished.

Here, the adjustment concave portions 12a, 12b, and 12c are provided at three places, but the present invention is not limited thereto, and the number of adjustment concave portions may be appropriately set. The same applies to the suspension position change detection device.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, in addition to the effect of embodiment 1, it is possible to prevent the occurrence of a situation where the operator forgets to restore the suspended position of the compensating rope 9.

Example 3

Fig. 7 is a front view showing the configuration of a compensating rope suspension position adjusting mechanism according to embodiment 3 of another embodiment of the present invention, and fig. 8 is a plan view showing the configuration of the compensating rope suspension position adjusting mechanism according to embodiment 3. In this embodiment, the compensating rope suspension position adjusting bracket 11 is a structure in which a hole is formed in a flat plate, and has an adjusting recess 12a and an adjusting recess 12b in the horizontal direction, which is different from embodiment 1. The other structures are the same as those of embodiment 1, and the same components as those of embodiment 1 are denoted by the same reference numerals, and redundant description as that of embodiment 1 is omitted.

As shown in fig. 7 and 8, the compensating rope supporting member 13 has a stopper portion 16 at the top portion, supports the compensating rope link portion 14 of the compensating rope 9, and engages with the compensating rope suspending position adjusting bracket 11 in the adjusting recess 12 a. The compensating rope support member 13 is connected to the elastic body 15 above the stopper portion 16, and is tensioned in the direction of sinking the adjustment concave portion 12 a. During maintenance inspection, the worker pulls the compensation rope support member 13 via the compensation rope 9, and the compensation rope support member 13 is disengaged from the adjustment recess 12 a. When the compensating rope supporting member 13 is further pulled from this state, the compensating rope supporting member 13 is fixed to the adjustment recess 12b, and the suspension position of the compensating rope 9 can be adjusted, so that the compensating rope 9 can be connected to the lower portion of the counterweight 5 along the guide rail 6 while avoiding intrusion into the escape space 7. At this time, the worker in the pit 100 of the hoistway needs to apply a pulling force that generates a translational motion against the rotational motion by the moment to the compensation rope 9. In addition, the contact area between the compensating rope support member 13 and the compensating rope suspending position adjusting bracket 11 increases, and the frictional force also increases. In addition, the suspension position adjustment of the compensation rope 9 can be performed with a smaller number of components than in the above embodiment 1.

Here, the adjustment concave portions are provided at two positions of the adjustment concave portion 12a and the adjustment concave portion 12b, but the number of the adjustment concave portions may be appropriately set.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, the suspension position of the compensating rope can be adjusted with a small number of components.

The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and includes various modifications. For example, the above embodiments have been described in detail to explain the present invention in an easily understandable manner, and are not limited to the embodiments including all the structures described. Further, a part of the structure of one embodiment may be replaced with the structure of another embodiment, and the structure of another embodiment may be added to the structure of one embodiment.
