  • the braking-segment leaf springs 16 are mounted to the brake arm 3 by the plurality of bolts 17.
  • the armature 10 When the electromagnet 13 is excited, the armature 10 is attracted toward the electromagnet 13 counter to the braking springs 14 and displaces, separating the braking segment 5 from the braking surface 1a. Thus, braking of the brake drum 1 is released, and the brake drum 1 is rotated together with the drive sheave by the driving force from the motor.
  • an operating stroke of the braking segment 5 is adjusted by loosening the locknut 9 and adjusting the amount of fastening of the stroke adjusting screw 7 inside the screw-threaded aperture 3b. More specifically, by tightening the stroke adjusting screw 7 to displace it toward the braking segment 5, a gap between the armature 10 and the electromagnet 13 during braking is increased, thereby also increasing the operating stroke of the braking segment 5. Conversely, by loosening the stroke adjusting screw 7 to displace it toward the electromagnet 13, the gap between the armature 10 and the electromagnet 13 during braking is reduced, thereby also reducing the operating stroke of the braking segment 5.
  • a stable attracting operation can be achieved without having to adjust the mounted angle of the armature 10, even when the precision of the attracting surface of the armature 10 relative to the brake arm 3 is low.
  • the first spherical seat 6 is disposed, relative to the second spherical seat 8, in a direction that the pressing and attracting means 15 presses the second spherical seat 8, there is no bending moment acting on the brake arm 3, enabling the strength of the brake arm 3 to be reduced, thereby enabling the brake arm 3 to be made thinner.
  • the second spherical seat 8 and the strike plate 11 do not separate from the armature 10 during the release operation, enabling the release operation to be stabilized. Furthermore, the brake arm 3 can be drawn closer during the release operation.
  • the braking segment 5 is mounted to the brake arm 3 by being pressed against the first spherical seat 6 by braking-segment leaf springs 16, removal and replacement of the braking segment 5 can be performed easily, simply by removing the braking-segment leaf springs 16. Consequently,maintainabilitycan be improved even in a braking apparatus mounted in a limited space inside the brake drum 1.
  • the braking segment 5 is pressed toward a central direction of the first spherical seat 6 by the braking-segment leaf springs 16, the braking segment 5 is displaced and placed in contact with the braking surface 1a while constantly maintaining its attitude relative to the braking surface 1a. Consequently, the braking segment 5 can be stably pressed against the brake drum 1.
  • Figure 4 is a partially-sectioned front elevation showing an elevator hoisting machine braking apparatus according to Embodiment 2 of the present invention
  • Figure 5 is a right side elevation showing a mounting construction of a braking segment in Figure 4 .

  • a spring bearing portion 21a is disposed on a tip portion of the fixed rod 21.
  • a first backlash preventing spring (a coil spring) 22 for forcing the brake arm 3 toward the pressing and attracting means 15 is disposed between the spring bearing portion 21a and the tip portion of the brake arm 3.

  • These backlash preventing springs 23 are disposed so as to be distributed uniformly in an axial direction of the pin 4 relative to an axial center of the pin 4, and are also disposed within a range of an axial length of the pin 4.
  • the spherical-seat leaf springs 12 shown in Embodiment 1 can be omitted.
  • second backlash preventing springs 23 for forcing the brake arm 3 in such a direction as to be separated from the pressing and attracting means 15 are disposed between the brake arm 3 and the armature 10 in a vicinity of the pin 4, even if disturbances by twisting forces such as that represented by the arrow A in Figure 5 act on the brake arm 3, backlash is prevented from arising in the operation of the brake arm 3, enabling the operation of the brake arm 3 to be stabilized.
  • the first backlash preventing spring 22 is disposed between the armature 10 and the brake arm 3, but it may also be disposed between the electromagnet 13 and the brake arm 3.
  • the second backlash preventing springs 23 are disposed between the armature 10 and the brake arm 3, but they may also be disposed between the electromagnet 13 and the brake arm 3.
