Abstract
In an elevator main rope elongation detector apparatus,
electrical resistance of an electrically-conductive filament
integrated into a main rope is measured by an electrical resistance
measuring apparatus. A determining means determines whether a
measured value from the electrical resistance measuring apparatus
is within a preset normal range. When the measured value is
determined by the determining means to be outside the preset normal
range, a warning is issued by a warning means.
Description
The present invention relates to an elevator main rope
elongation detector apparatus disposed in an elevator in which a
car is suspended inside a hoistway by a main rope made of a synthetic
fiber rope, the elevator main rope elongation detector apparatus
detecting elongation of the main rope.
Generally, in a traction elevator, a car and a counterweight
are suspended inside a hoistway by a main rope. A car buffer and
a counterweight buffer are installed on a bottom portion of the
hoistway. Furthermore, a clearance dimension between the
counterweight and the counterweight buffer when the car is stopped
at an uppermost floor is required to be constantly maintained at
a specified value. However, the clearance dimension between the
counterweight and the counterweight buffer is reduced by elongation
of the main rope with the passage of time. In particular, when a
main rope made of a synthetic fiber rope is used, the amount of
elongation of the main rope is as much as twice that of a steel
rope.
For this kind of elongation of the main rope, the clearance
dimension between the counterweight and the counterweight buffer
is conventionally measured during routine inspection. At this time,
one maintenance worker drives the elevator, and another maintenance
worker enters a pit in the hoistway and performs the measurement.
Consequently, two maintenance workers are required, reducing work
efficiency.
In answer to this, a method is disclosed in Japanese Patent
Laid-Open No. HEI 6-56372, for example, in which the measurement
is performed by one maintenance worker. However, in this method,
since it is necessary for the maintenance worker to move the car
to the uppermost floor and then go to the pit and check the results
of the measurement, the operation is time-consuming, making work
efficiency low.
The present invention aims to solve the above problems and
an object of the present invention is to provide an elevator main
rope elongation detector apparatus enabling elongation of a main
rope made of a synthetic fiber rope to be detected simply and
efficiently.
According to one aspect of the present invention, there is
provided an elevator main rope elongation detector apparatus
disposed in an elevator in which a car is suspended inside a hoistway
by a main rope made of a synthetic fiber rope having a synthetic
fiber strand and an electrically-conductive filament, the elevator
main rope elongation detector apparatus detecting elongation of
the main rope, wherein the elevator main rope elongation detector
apparatus includes: an electrical resistance measuring apparatus
for measuring electrical resistance in the electrically-conductive
filament; a determining means for determining whether a measured
value from the electrical resistance measuring apparatus is within
a preset normal range; and a warning means for issuing a warning
when the measured value is determined by the determining means to
be outside the preset normal range.
Preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be
explained with reference to the drawings.
Figure 1 is a structural diagram showing an elevator main rope
elongation detector apparatus according to Embodiment 1 of the
present invention. In the figure, a car 1 and a counterweight 2
are suspended inside a hoistway by a main rope 3 made of a synthetic
fiber rope. The main rope 3 includes: a plurality of synthetic
fiber strands; and a plurality of carbon filaments functioning as
electrically-conductive filaments integrated into at least some
of these synthetic fiber strands over an entire length of each.
An intermediate portion of the main rope 3 is wound around
a drive sheave 5 of a driving machine 4 disposed in an upper portion
of the hoistway. The car 1 and the counterweight 2 are raised and
lowered by means of a driving force from the driving machine 4.
A pair of car suspension sheaves 6 around which the main rope 3
is wound are disposed on a lower portion of the car 1. A
counterweight suspension sheave 7 around which the main rope 3 is
wound is disposed on an upper portion of the counterweight 2. First
and second end portions of the main rope 3 are connected to
respective rope stops 8 and 9 in the upper portion of the hoistway.
An electrical resistance measuring apparatus 11 for measuring
electrical resistance in the carbon filaments integrated into the
main rope 3 is disposed in a control panel 10 for controlling
elevator operation. The electrical resistance measuring apparatus
11 is connected to first and second end portions of the carbon
filaments.
Furthermore, disposed in the control panel 10 are: a
determining means 12 for determining whether a measured value from
the electrical resistance measuring apparatus 11 is within a preset
normal range; and a warning means 13 for issuing a warning when
the measured value is determined by the determining means 12 to
be abnormal, i.e., outside the preset normal range. A main rope
elongation detector apparatus according to Embodiment 1 includes
the electrical resistance measuring apparatus 11, the determining
means 12, and the warning means 13.
In a main rope elongation detector apparatus of this kind,
the electrical resistance of the carbon filaments in the main rope
3 is measured by the electrical resistance measuring apparatus 11
when necessary. The carbon filaments are disposed over the entire
length of the main rope 3, stretching in a similar manner to the
main rope 3 when age-related elongation arises in the main rope
3. In other words, when elongation arises in the main rope 3, the
entire length of the carbon filaments elongates, reducing
cross-sectional area and increasing electrical resistance.
The measured value from the electrical resistance measuring
apparatus 11 is monitored by the determining means 12 to determine
whether there is any abnormality. If the measured value exceeds
the preset normal range, an abnormality detection signal is sent
to the warning means 13, whereby a warning is issued by the warning
means 13. Then, any required action such as run-by adjustments or
replacement of the main rope 3, etc., is undertaken by maintenance
workers who receive the warning.
Using a main rope elongation detector apparatus of this kind,
elongation of the main rope 3 can be detected simply and efficiently
when necessary regardless of the position of the car 1. Furthermore,
the elongation of the main rope 3 can be checked remotely and
automatically, enabling reductions in costs required for
maintenance inspections.
Figure 2 is a structural diagram showing part of an elevator
main rope elongation detector apparatus according to Embodiment
2 of the present invention. In the figure, the main rope 3 made
of a synthetic fiber rope includes: a plurality of synthetic fiber
strands 31 composed of an aramid resin or the like; and a plurality
of carbon filaments 32 functioning as electrically-conductive
filaments integrated into at least some of these synthetic fiber
strands 31 over an entire length of each.
The electrical resistance measuring apparatus 11 is connected
only to the first end portion of the main rope 3. At the second
end portion of the main rope 3, the synthetic fiber strands 31 are
bundled in pairs by means of end portion connectors 33. The carbon
filaments 32 are also electrically connected in series in pairs
by the end portion connectors 33.
A plurality of electrical component sets each including an
electric power supply 35 for applying a voltage to the carbon
filaments 32 through a resistor 34, a low-pass filter 36, and an
analog-to-digital (A/D) converter 37 are disposed in the electrical
resistance measuring apparatus 11. The rest of the construction
is similar to that of Embodiment 1.
In a main rope elongation detector apparatus of this kind,
because a plurality of pairs of the carbon filaments 32 are
electrically connected at the second end portion of the main rope
3, the electrical resistance measuring apparatus 11 needs to be
connected only at a single end portion of the main rope 3,
facilitating wiring. Hence, in an elevator having one-to-one
roping, for example, the electrical resistance measuring apparatus
11 needs to be connected only to a car end portion or to a
counterweight end portion of the main rope 3, enabling the
construction of the apparatus to be simplified.
Figure 3 is a structural diagram showing part of an elevator
main rope elongation detector apparatus according to Embodiment
3 of the present invention. In this example, all of the carbon
filaments 32 contained in one main rope 3 are electrically connected
in series by a plurality of the end portion connectors 33. The total
number of carbon filaments 32 is an even number (six in the figure),
the electrical resistance measuring apparatus 11 being connected
only at the first end portion of the main rope 3. The rest of the
construction is similar to that of Embodiment 1.
In a main rope elongation detector apparatus of this kind,
the electrical resistance measuring apparatus 11 needs to be
connected only at a single end portion of the main rope 3,
facilitating wiring. Hence, in an elevator having one-to-one
roping, for example, the electrical resistance measuring apparatus
11 needs to be connected only to a car end portion or to a
counterweight end portion of the main rope 3, enabling the
construction of the apparatus to be simplified. Furthermore, since
all of the carbon filaments 32 in one main rope 3 are electrically
connected in series, it is not necessary to measure the electrical
resistance for each of the carbon filaments 32 individually,
enabling the construction of the electrical resistance measuring
apparatus 11 to be simplified.
In Embodiment 3, the carbon filaments 32 in one main rope 3
were electrically connected in series, but when a plurality of main
ropes 3 are used, as shown in Figure 4 for example, the construction
of the electrical resistance measuring apparatus 11 can be further
simplified by electrically connecting the carbon filaments 32 in
series over the plurality of main ropes 3.
Figure 5 is a block diagram showing part of an elevator main
rope elongation detector apparatus according to Embodiment 5 of
the present invention. In the figure, signals from the electrical
resistance measuring apparatus 11, a temperature detector apparatus
21, and a humidity detector apparatus 22 are input into a central
processing unit (CPU) 14 of the determining means 12 through input
circuits 15 and 16. The temperature detector apparatus 21 detects
temperature inside the hoistway, outputting that information to
the determining means 12. The humidity detector apparatus 22
detects humidity inside the hoistway, outputting that information
to the determining means 12.
A memory 17 for storing data such as set values for comparison
with the measured value, correction factors for temperature and
humidity, etc., is disposed in the determining means 12. When the
measured value is determined by the CPU 14 to be abnormal, an
abnormality detection signal is output to the warning means 13
through an output circuit 18.
Hence, detecting precision for elongation of the main rope
3 can be improved by making a decision based not merely on a
comparison between set values and the measured value, but also
considering expansion and contraction of the main rope 3 due to
temperature and humidity inside the hoistway.
Furthermore, abnormality in the amount of elongation may also
be determined by storing an initial electrical resistance in the
memory 17 and comparing the measured value with this initial
electrical resistance, enabling the detecting precision to be
improved by eliminating the effects of initial irregularities in
the main rope 3 and the carbon filaments 32.
In addition, by storing the measured values of electrical
resistance in the memory 17, abnormality in the amount of elongation
may also be determined from a mean value for a plurality of measured
values, enabling the detecting precision to be improved by
eliminating the effects of measurement errors.
Moreover, in the above examples, the electrical resistance
in a plurality of carbon filaments 32 is measured in one main rope
3, but the elongation of the main rope 3 can be detected by measuring
the electrical resistance in just one or more of the carbon filaments
32. However, reliability can be improved by measuring the
electrical resistance in a plurality of the carbon filaments 32.
Furthermore, in the above examples, carbon filaments 32 are
shown as the electrically-conductive filaments, but the filaments
may also be composed of any other electrically-conductive material.
In addition, in the above examples, the main rope elongation
detector apparatus is disposed inside the control panel 10, but
the main rope elongation detector apparatus may also be disposed
on the car 1 or the counterweight 2 with the abnormality detection
signal being sent to the control panel 10.
Still furthermore, in the electrical resistance measuring
apparatus and the determining means, the electrical resistance may
also be sought as a numerical value and determined directly, or
may also be determined indirectly by measuring a voltage when a
predetermined electric current is applied and determining whether
that voltage is within a normal range.
