Definitions

  • a member when carrying out maintenance and inspection on an elevator, a member a maintenance personnel steps onto the car and performs maintenance and inspection work on device(s) inside the hoistway or on car-top device(s).
  • a car-top handrail unit is generally provided on the car.
  • the structure is complicated and a large number of parts is required, with the result that costs are high.
  • the handrail needs to be assembled and folded away at the time of performing maintenance and inspection work, increasing the time required for performing the maintenance and inspection work, with the result that the operational efficiency of the elevator is degraded.
  • the present invention was made with a view to solving the above-mentioned problems, and the object of the invention is to create a car-top handrail unit for an elevator which can avoid interference with beams and device(s) positioned upward of the car, and which can decrease cost with a simple structure.
  • a car-top handrail unit for an elevator which is provided on a car and surrounds a working area for performing maintenance and inspection work on the car, comprising: a pair of fixed handrails provided uprightly on the upper portion of the car being spaced apart from each other in the width direction of the car, each having one end portion positioned in the vicinity of the front end portion of the car and the other end portion positioned in a middle portion in the depth direction of the car; and a pair of rotating handrails each being capable of rotating between a closed position, in which the rotating handrails extend along the width direction of the car from the other end portions of the pair of fixed handrails and close the gap between the other end portions, and an open position, in which the rotating handrails extend along the depth direction of the car from the other end portions of the pair of fixed handrails.
  • Fig. 1 is a side view showing a car-top handrail unit for an elevator according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention and Fig. 2 is a cross-sectional diagram obtained by taking along a line II-II of Fig. 1.
  • a pair of guide rails 12 is provided within a hoistway 11.
  • a car 13 ascends/descends within the hoistway 11 while being guided by the guide rails 12.
  • Doors 14 and 15 of the car are respectively provided in the front and the back of the car 13.
  • a beam 18 of the building used for lifting devices at the time of installation of the elevator, is installed upward of the car 13 within the hoistway 11.
  • the car-top handrail unit 20 has a pair of fixed handrails 21 and 22 and a pair of rotating handrails 23 and 24.
  • the fixed handrails 21 and 22 are provided uprightly on the upper portion of the car 13 being spaced apart from each other in the width direction of the car 13 (upper and lower direction in Fig. 2). Further, one end portion of each of the fixed handrails 21 and 22 is positioned in the vicinity of the front end portion of the car 13. The other end portions of the fixed handrails 21 and 22 are positioned in a middle portion in the depth direction (left and right direction in Fig. 2).
  • the rotating handrails 23 and 24 each are capable of rotating between a closed position, in which they extend along the width direction of the car 13 from the other end portions of the pair of fixed handrails 21 and 22 and close the gap between the other end portions, and an open position, in which they extend along the depth direction of the car 13 from the other end portions of the pair of fixed handrails 21 and 22 as shown in Fig. 3 and Fig. 4 (a double door type).
  • a member of maintenance personnel steps onto the car 13 from the landing on the front side of the car 13 (left side in Fig. 1 and Fig. 2).
  • the rotating handrails 23 and 24 are in the closed position, work is performed within the working area A.
  • maintenance personnel move to the working area B, as shown in Fig. 3 and Fig. 4, the rotating handrails 23 and 24 rotate to the open position, once the car 13 has descended to a position at which the rotating handrails 23 and 24 will not interfere with the beam 18.
  • a rear handrail 25 needs to be mounted on the rear end portion on the car 13.
  • the rear handrail 25 is fixed to a position where the rear handrail 25 will not interfere with a beam 18 or device(s) inside the hoistway at the time of normal operation, and the rotating handrails 23 and 24 are joined to the rear handrail 25 when the rotating handrails 23 and 24 rotate to the open position. Therefore, it becomes possible to avoid interference with the beam 18 or device(s) positioned upward of the car 13 and to decrease cost with a simple structure, as well as avoiding any undue increase in time to carry out maintenance work.
  • Fig. 7 is a plan view showing the main portions of a car-top handrail unit for an elevator according to Embodiment 3 of the present invention.
  • a rear handrail 25 provided on both end portions of a rear handrail 25 are stoppers 26 and 27, with which the ends of rotating handrails 23 and 24 are brought into contact, thus regulating the rotation of rotating handrails 23 and 24 in the opening direction.
  • the other structures are the same as those in Embodiment 2.
  • the rotation of the rotating handrails 23 and 24 can be regulated with a simple structure, whereby the rotating handrails 23 and 24 are prevented from interfering with car-top device(s) or the like.
  • Fig. 8 is a plan view showing the main portions of a car-top handrail unit for an elevator according to Embodiment 4 of the present invention.
  • rotating handrails 23 and 24 are held in a closed position with a set screw 28 serving as retaining means for connecting them with each other. Further, the direction of rotation of the rotating handrails 23 and 24 is constantly biased to the open position by twisted coil springs 29 and 30 respectively, serving as biasing means.
  • the rotating handrails 23 and 24 are held in the closed position by the set screw 28.
  • the rotating handrails 23 and 24 are prevented from rotating to the open position as a result of vibration or the like during normal operation, and interference of the rotating handrails 23 and 24 with beam 18 or device(s) positioned upward of car 13 can be prevented more securely.
  • a detection signal from the micro switch 31 is outputted to a control device (not shown) for controlling operation of the elevator.
  • a control device for controlling operation of the elevator.
  • the detecting means is not limited to the micro switch 31, and it is possible to use other mechanical switches, optical switches, proximity sensors or the like.
