  • the overspeed Vs is usually set to about 130% of the rated speed V0.
  • the related-art elevator system is constructed in the manner mentioned above. Under normal circumstances, the hook receiving section 34 of the restraint mechanism 39 in the governor 12 engages with the hook 27 of the hooking hardware 26, whereby the rope suppressing member 33 is retained at an elevated position, as shown in Fig. 10 . In this state, the governor rope 13 is arranged between the rope receiver 30 and the rope suppressing member 33 without making contact therewith.
  • the main rope 7 is driven, whereupon the car 8 and the counterweight 9 are moved vertically in opposite directions.
  • the car and the counterweight are moved at the rated speed V0.
  • the car is driven to the first top elevator hall 201 or the first bottom elevator hall 301 in the predetermined end region A or C; that is, when the car is driven toward the terminals, deceleration of the car is controlled in accordance with the predetermined deceleration characteristic B or D.

  • the plumb shaft 17 is rotated, whereupon the weights 22 are rotated around the line of the plumb shaft.

  • the pivotal arms 21 stemming from upward displacement of the weights 22, the slidable sleeve 19 and the reactively-movable sleeve 191 are vertically displaced against the restoration force of the forcing member 24.
  • the operation arm 25 is pivoted in a clockwise direction in Fig. 10 by means of upward displacement of the reactively-movable sleeve 191 caused as a result of the lowering speed of the car 8 having reached the overspeed Vs; that is, upward displacement of the slidable sleeve 19 in excess of a predetermined position.

  • the brake shoe 103 of the emergency stopper 10 is engaged with the guide rail 100 by pivotal displacement of the lever 102, thus effecting braking action. As a result, lowering action of the car 8 at the overspeed Vs is braked and brought to a stop.
  • the car 8 When being lowered and operated toward the first bottom elevator hall 301 in the predetermined end region C, the car 8 is subjected to deceleration control in accordance with the predetermined deceleration characteristic line D. Therefore, under normal conditions the governor 12 is not actuated, and interruption of power to the control panel 5 and the hoisting machine 6 and braking action of the emergency stopper 10 do not arise. Therefore, the buffering distance SB of the buffer 11 can be shortened.
  • the buffer 11 has the previously-described buffering distance SB.
  • a free height of the buffer 11 exceeds 20 m. Therefore, a depth from the first bottom elevator hall 301 to the surface of the bottom 3 of the hoistway 1 exceeds 20 m.
  • the car 8 Under a situation where the car 8 has collided with the buffer 11 for reasons of a failure and the buffer 11 remains compressed, the car 8 will lower from the first bottom elevator hall 301 over a distance corresponding to the buffering distance SB in such a manner as shown in Fig. 14 . In this state, the counterweight 9 further ascends from an ascent position assumed in an normal condition, over a distance corresponding to the buffering distance SB in the manner as shown in Fig. 14 .
  • the buffer 11 having a longer height is required in association with an increase in the rated speed of the elevator.
  • a depth from the first bottom elevator hall 301 to the surface of the bottom 3 of the hoistway 1; that is, a pit depth of the hoistway 1 becomes considerably greater.
  • an ascending height allowance of the counterweight 9 at the top 2 in the hoistway 1 must be set large.
  • the invention has been conceived to solve the problem and is aimed at providing an elevator system which shortens a buffer ascending/descending distance of a car at ends of a hoistway of an elevator to be operated at high speed.
  • the invention provides a first governor which restricts circulatory movement of a governor rope suspended in a hoistway, to thereby cause an emergency stopper engaging a guide rail to perform braking operation, when the speed of a car which ascends or descends while being guided by a guide rail has reached a first overspeed in excess of a rated speed.
  • the invention also provides a second governor which causes an emergency stopper to perform braking operation when the speed of a car has exceeded the rated speed and reached a second overspeed lower than the first overspeed.
  • end region drive means is provided at an end region of the hoistway, and the second governor is activated when the car ascends or descends across the end region.
  • the emergency stopper when the ascent/descent speed of the car has exceeded the rated speed, the emergency stopper performs braking operation in the end regions of the hoistway at an overspeed lower than an emergency braking overspeed which would be achieved in an intermediate region of the hoistway.
  • a buffer ascending/descending distance at ends of the hoistway for the car can be shortened, thereby curtailing the cost of constructing a hoistway and the cost of manufacturing a buffer and diminishing restrictions on the design of a building where an elevator is to be installed.

  • the car is provided with a second governor. When the speed of the car has exceeded the rated speed and reached a second overspeed lower than the first overspeed, the circulatory movement of the governor rope is restrained, thereby causing the emergency stopper to perform braking operation.
  • end region drive means is provided in an end region of the hoistway, whereby the second governor is driven in the end region.
  • the emergency stopper performs braking operation in the end region of the hoistway at an overspeed lower than an emergency braking overspeed which would be achieved in an intermediate region of the hoistway. Therefore, a buffer ascending/descending distance of the car at the end of the hoistway can be shortened, thereby reducing the height of the hoistway.
  • the elevator is suitable for construction of an elevator system which yields an advantage of curtailing the cost for constructing a hoistway and the cost for manufacturing a buffer.
