  • the first emergency service operation portion 17 is provided with a brake release operation portion for remotely releasing the brake portion of the drive device 2, and an inspection window for confirming the interior of the hoistway 1.
  • An operating force applied to the brake release operation portion is transmitted to the brake portion either through an electric signal or mechanically via a wire or the like.
  • the brake portion is released, the car 5 is raised or lowered in accordance with a difference between weights of the car 5 and the counterweight 6 (however, when the weight of the car 5 is equal to the weight of the counterweight 6, the car 5 does not move).
  • the speed governor rope 13 or the main rope 7 is marked with a plurality of markings (not shown) for indicating that the car 5 has arrived at a stop floor in operating the brake release operation portion to raise/lower the car 5.
  • the markings can be visually recognized from the landing through the inspection window.
  • a second landing inspection device 18 is provided at a landing of the lowermost floor.
  • the second landing inspection device 18 is provided with a second maintenance service operation portion 19 for carrying out a maintenance service of the car 5.
  • the second maintenance service operation portion 19, which is connected to the control device 11 via a connection cable (not shown), has the same construction as the first maintenance service operation portion 16.
  • Each of the first landing inspection device 15 and the second landing inspection device 18 is accommodated within a landing button device (not shown) provided on a landing wall, and thus not exposed to a corresponding one of the landings during normal operation. However, when the operator removes a front panel of the landing button device, each of the first landing inspection device 15 and the second landing inspection device 18 is exposed to the corresponding one of the landings.
  • the control device 11 selects and validates only one of the operations.
  • the first landing inspection device 15 and the second landing inspection device 18 are defined as a primary landing inspection device and a secondary landing inspection device, respectively. Accordingly, when both the first maintenance service operation portion 16 and the second maintenance service operation portion 19 become operable (enter maintenance mode), the control device 11 validates the operation for the first maintenance service operation portion 16, and invalidates the operation for the second maintenance service operation portion 19. On the contrary, the operation for the second maintenance service operation portion 19 is validated when the first maintenance service operation portion 16 is in the automatic mode and the second maintenance service operation portion 19 is in the maintenance mode. This function of selecting the first maintenance service operation portion 16 by priority is realized based on a program stored in the computer constituting the control device 11.
  • the operator exposes the second landing inspection device 18 at the landing of the lowermost floor, and operates the second maintenance service operation portion 19 to hold the control device 11 in the maintenance mode.
  • the operator performs a maintenance that does not require a movement onto the car 5 simply at the lowermost floor.
  • the operator lowers the car 5 from a landing of a floor directly above the lowermost floor to a position allowing the operator to move onto the car 5.
  • the operator moves to the floor directly above the lowermost floor, opens a landing door at that floor, and moves onto the car 5.
  • the operator After having moved onto the car 5, the operator operates a service switch (not shown) on the car 5, thereby raising the car 5 in maintenance mode service (low-speed service). At this moment, the components in the hoistway 1 are sequentially inspected from below. The operator then stops the car 5 in the vicinity of the uppermost floor to perform operations of inspecting the drive device 2 and the control device 11.
  • the operator After having finished the inspection, the operator lowers the car 5 to the position where the operator got thereon, and gets off at the landing of the floor directly above the lowermost floor. The operator then moves to the lowermost floor, operates the second maintenance service operation portion 19 to make a changeover to the automatic mode in the control device 11, and replaces the front panel of the landing button device, thereby terminating the maintenance operation.
  • the maintenance operation as described hitherto can also be performed by the first maintenance service operation portion 16.
  • the operator exposes the first landing inspection device 15 at the landing of the uppermost floor, and operates the first maintenance service operation portion 16 to hold the control device 11 in the maintenance mode.
  • the operator intermittently operates the brake release operation portion to cause the brake portion to perform a release function and a braking function repeatedly and alternately.
  • the operator gradually raises or lowers the car 5 to move it to a nearest floor. The operator then opens the car door and the landing door at the nearest floor, and rescues the passengers within the car 5.
  • a restoration operation after the rescue of the passengers is performed as follows. That is, when the drive device 2 can be drivingly controlled, the operator operates the first maintenance service operation portion 16 to move the car 5 to a position allowing the operator to move onto the car 5 from the landing of the uppermost floor. After that, the operator gets onto the car 5 to inspect/repair the drive device 2 and the control device 11 in the same manner as in the case of maintenance. If necessary, the operator inspects/repairs the components within the hoistway as well.
  • the first landing inspection device 15 is provided at the landing of the uppermost floor
  • the second landing inspection device 18 is provided at the landing of the lowermost floor.
  • the second landing inspection device 18 is provided with the second maintenance service operation portion 19. Therefore, the maintenance operation can be performed without moving to the landing of the uppermost floor. As a result, the working efficiency in performing the maintenance operation can be enhanced, and a feeling of discomfort caused to building users due to the operation can be alleviated.
  • the drive device 2 is disposed within the hoistway 1, and the first landing inspection device 15, which is disposed closer to the drive device 2 than the second maintenance service operation portion 19, is provided with the emergency service operation portion 17. Therefore, the transmission path of an operating force from the emergency service operation portion 17 to the drive device 2 can be shortened, so the drive device 2 can be operated more reliably.
  • the drive device 2 is disposed in the top within the hoistway 1, and the first landing inspection device 15 is disposed at the uppermost floor. Therefore, the drive device 2 can be operated more reliably and also visually confirmed from the inspection window. Still further, only the first landing inspection device 15 is provided with the emergency service operation portion 17. Therefore, the overall construction can be simplified, and an improvement in reliability can be achieved. Yet further, when operations are input to the control device 11 from both the first maintenance service operation portion 16 and the second maintenance service operation portion 19, the control device 11 selects and validates only one of the operations. Therefore, an improvement in reliability can be achieved.
  • Fig. 2 is a lateral view showing an elevator apparatus according to Embodiment 2 of the present invention.
  • the second landing inspection device 18 is provided with the second maintenance service operation portion 19, and a second emergency service operation portion 20 for moving the car 5 in an emergency.
  • the second emergency service operation portion 20 is constructed in the same manner as the first emergency service operation portion 17.
  • Embodiment 2 of the present invention is identical to Embodiment 1 of the present invention in other constructional details.
  • the second landing inspection device 18 as well as the first landing inspection device 15 may be provided with the emergency service operation portion 20, so the operation of rescuing passengers within the car 5 can be performed from the lowermost floor without moving to the uppermost floor. As a result, the working efficiency can be enhanced.
  • the second landing inspection device 18 may not be provided with the second maintenance service operation portion 19 but only with the second emergency service operation portion 20.
  • the uppermost floor is designated as the first stop floor.
  • another stop floor may be designated as the first stop floor.
  • the second stop floor may not be the lowermost floor.
  • the first stop floor is set as a stop floor close to the drive device 2 as described above, the working efficiency in performing the operation of rescuing passengers and the like is further enhanced.
  • a hallway floor provided with an entrance to the building is designated as the second stop floor, the working efficiency in performing the maintenance operation and the like is further enhanced.
  • the first maintenance service operation portion 16 has priority over the secondmaintenance service operation portion 19.
  • the first operated one of the first maintenance service operation portion 16 and the second maintenance service operation portion 19 may have priority over the other.
  • each of the first maintenance service operation portion 16 and the second maintenance service operation portion 19 may be provided with an indicator for indicating whether or not the other is in use.
  • the drive device 2 and the control device 11 are disposed in the upper portion within the hoistway 1.
  • the drive device 2 and the control device 11 may be disposed at other positions, respectively.
  • the first landing inspection device 15 having the emergency service operation portion 17 is preferably disposed closer to the drive device 2 than the second landing inspection device 18.
  • the two landing inspection devices 15 and 18 are provided in the entire elevator apparatus.
  • the present invention is also applicable to an elevator apparatus having a drive device and a control device installed within a machine room.
