Description
- The present invention relates to a guide rail for an elevator that guides a vertical moving member of the elevator, and to a rail surface processing apparatus for an elevator that processes a surface of the guide rail.
- In a conventional elevator, rust preventive oil is sometimes coated on surfaces of guide rails installed in a hoistway. In the past, there has been proposed a rust preventive oil removal apparatus that causes a rust preventive oil removal member, which is lower in hardness than guide rails, to move along each guide rail while making the rust preventive oil removal member into sliding contact therewith so as to remove the rust preventive oil from the surfaces of the guide rails. The surfaces of the guide rails are formed by cutting processing such as, for example, planing, milling, or the like (see a first patent document).
- [First Patent Document] Japanese Patent No.
3243104 - The surface processing of the guide rails is carried out by cutting processing such as, for example, planing, milling, or the like, so in the case of planing processing, a tool receives a load only in a specific direction, whereby a plurality of minute and sharp convex portions like the scales of a fish are formed on the surfaces of the guide rails, whereas in the case of milling processing, too, cutting is carried out by a rotating tool, whereby a plurality of minute and sharp convex portions due to processing marks of the tool are formed on the surfaces of the guide rails.
- Accordingly, when slide members attached to a car are caused to move while being placed in sliding contact with guide rails, for example, the slide members become liable to be worn, or the sliding resistance and sliding sound between the slide members and the guide rails are increased, by sharp convex portions formed on the surfaces of the guide rails. In addition, the vibration of the car is also increased by the sliding resistance between the slide members and the guide rails.
- In addition, although it is possible to polish the surfaces of the guide rails to provide mirror finished surfaces, not only the production cost is increased by the time and effort required for the polishing processing, but also a squeaking sound might be generated between the guide rails and the slide members due to the mirror finishing of the surfaces of the guide rails.
- The present invention is intended to obviate the problem as referred to above, and has for its object to obtain a guide rail for an elevator and a rail surface processing apparatus for an elevator in which the occurrence of trouble due to the surface configuration of the guide rail can be prevented, and in which the guide rail can be produced with ease.
- A guide rail for an elevator according to the present invention includes a guide portion that guides a vertical moving member while being in contact with a contact member mounted on the vertical moving member, wherein a minute concave portion and a minute convex portion are formed on a contact surface of the guide portion facing the contact member, and the convex portion is provided with a pressed surface which is made smooth by placing a pressing member into pressed abutment with the contact surface thereby to plastically deform a material of the guide portion.

Fig. 2 is a side elevational view that shows the rail surface processing apparatus when surface finishing processing of a car guide rail ofFig. 1 is performed.Fig. 3 is a cross sectional view along line III - III inFig. 2 . In these figures, a railsurface processing apparatus 21 includes a table 22 on which a work piece is put on, asurface finishing member 23 that is arranged at a location above the table 22 for processing a surface of the work piece, and a shiftingdevice 24 that moves thesurface finishing member 23 along the table 22. The table 22 is provided with a plurality of fixation hooks or claws for fixing the work piece to the table 22. Hereinafter, reference will be made to the case where acar guide rail 8 is taken as a work piece. - The
car guide rail 8 is fixedly mounted on the table 22 along the direction of movement of thesurface finishing member 23. Thecar guide rail 8 is arranged with itsguide portion 11 being directed toward the surface finishing member 23 (upwardly). - The
surface finishing member 23 includes a finishing roller (pressing member) 26 made of steel, apressing device 27 that serves to press or push theguide portion 11 of thecar guide rail 8 against thefinishing roller 26, and aposition adjustment device 28 that has thepressing device 27 mounted thereon, and serves to adjust the position of thefinishing roller 26 in a direction perpendicular to the movement of thesurface finishing member 23 and in a direction parallel to the table 22 (in a processing width direction). Thesurface finishing member 23 performs the surface finishing processing of thecontact surface 11a by pressing or pushing thefinishing roller 26 against thecontact surface 11a of theguide portion 11. - The
finishing roller 26 is formed on its outer periphery with asmooth abutment surface 26a that is adapted to be pressed or held against thecontact surface 11a of theguide portion 11. Theabutment surface 26a is arranged along a circumferential direction of thefinishing roller 26. The width of theabutment surface 26a is made to be smaller than the width of theguide portion 11. In addition, in this example, the cross sectional shape of theabutment surface 26a in a plane perpendicular to the circumferential direction of thefinishing roller 26 is made to be semicircular. Thefinishing roller 26 is caused to roll along theguide portion 11 in accordance with the movement of thesurface finishing member 23 due to the shiftingdevice 24 while being pressed to thecontact surface 11a of theguide portion 11. As the material of the finishingroller 26, there may be used any material that is not easily deformed due to the surface configuration of theguide rail 8. Steel and, in addition thereto, ceramics for instance may be used. - A adjustment spring (not shown) for adjusting the pressing force of the finishing
roller 26 to theguide portion 11 is built into thepressing device 27. - The
position adjustment device 28 includes afeed screw 29 that is disposed along the processing width direction, and amotor 30 that serves to turn thefeed screw 29. The finishingroller 26 is caused to displace in the processing width direction with respect to the table 22 by thefeed screw 29 being driven to turn by themotor 30. -
Fig. 4 is a enlarged cross sectional view that shows the cross sectional configuration of thecontact surface 11 a after the finishingroller 26 ofFig. 3 is pressed against it. Here, inFig. 4 , the cross sectional shape of thecontact surface 11a before the finishingroller 26 is pressed against it is shown by a broken line. In this figure, on thecontact surface 11a before the finishingroller 26 is pressed against it, there are formed a plurality of sharppointed portions 31 by means of cutting processing. - In contrast to this, on the
contact surface 11a or the finished surface against which the finishingroller 26 is pressed, there are formed a plurality ofconvex portions 32 with a part (top) of each their pointedportion 31 being pressed or crushed into a shape conforming to theabutment surface 26a, and a plurality ofconcave portions 33 arranged in between adjacent ones of the individualconvex portions 32. That is, on the individualconvex portions 32, there are formed rolled or pressed faces 34, respectively, which are smoothed due to the plastic deformation of the material of the sharp portions (parts) of the pointedportions 31 by bringing theabutment surface 26a of the finishingroller 26 into pressed abutment with thecontact surface 11 a. - The pressing force of the finishing
roller 26 to theguide portion 11 is adjusted by the adjustment of the adjustment spring of thepressing device 27 to such a force that can plastically deform only a part of each pointedportion 31. As a result, the individual pointedportions 31 are plastically deformed to form individualconvex portions 32, and spaces between adjacent ones of the individualconvex portions 32 can be left as concave portions. - The slide members are in contact with the rolled or pressed
surfaces 34 of the individualconvex portions 32 during the operation of the elevator. In addition, lubricating oil for enabling the slide members to move smoothly with respect to theguide portion 11 is held in the individualconcave portions 33. - In this example, the material of the
car guide rail 8 is made to be SS400 (steel having a tensile strength of 400 N/mm2). Also, in this example, the surface roughness of thecar guide rail 8 before surface finishing processing is performed by the railsurface processing apparatus 21 is made to be 20 - 30 µ m by means of planing processing. Further, in this example, it is set such that the outside diameter of the finishingroller 26 is 25 mm, the radius of the cross section of theabutment surface 26a is 4 mm, the pressing force of thepressing device 27 is about 50 kg, and the moving speed of thesurface finishing member 23 is 100 m/min. As a result of the surface finishing processing of theguide portion 11 having been actually performed by the railsurface processing apparatus 21 under such a condition, it was verified that the surface roughness of theguide portion 11 can be reduced by half, and the ratio of the surface areas of theconvex portion 32 and theconcave portion 33 can be made substantially equal to each other. - With respect to the
guide portion 13 of each counterweight guide rail 9, the surface finishing processing thereof is performed by the railsurface processing apparatus 21, as in theguide portion 11 of eachcar guide rail 8. - Now, reference will be made to a procedure when the surface finishing processing of each
car guide rail 8 is performed. First of all, acar guide rail 8 formed by cutting processing such as planing, etc., is fixed mounted on the table 22, and theabutment surface 26a of the finishingroller 26 is pressed to theguide portion 11. After this, thesurface finishing member 23 is driven to move by means of the shiftingdevice 24, whereby the finishingroller 26 is caused to roll along theguide portion 11 up to an end of thecar guide rail 8 while the finishingroller 26 being pressed against theguide portion 11. At this time, a part of the material of each pointedportion 31 formed on thecontact surface 11a is plastically deformed to serve as a smooth rolled or pressedsurface 34. As a result, each pointedportion 31 is formed into aconvex portion 32. - After this, by turning the
feed screw 29, the position of the finishingroller 26 is moved in the processing width direction, and thesurface finishing member 23 is again driven to move, whereby the finishingroller 26 is caused to roll while being pressed against theguide portion 11. - The above-mentioned procedure is repeatedly carried out so that the finishing
roller 26 is caused to roll over theentire contact surface 11a of theguide portion 11 while being pressed against it. As a result, a part of every pointedportion 31 formed on thecontact surface 11a is plastically deformed to form aconvex portion 32 that is provided with a rolled or pressedsurface 34. In this manner, the surface finishing processing of theguide portion 11 is carried out. Here, note that with respect to each counterweight guide rail 9, the surface finishing processing thereof is carried out, as in eachcar guide rail 8. - In such a
car guide rail 8, the minuteconcave portions 33 and the minuteconvex portions 32 are formed on thecontact surface 11a of theguide portion 11, and the pressed surfaces 34, which are smoothed due to the plastic deformation of the material of theguide portion 11 by pressing the finishingroller 26 against it, are formed on theconvex portions 32. Accordingly, it is possible to suppress the wear of the slide members due to theconvex portions 32. In addition, it is also possible to prevent increases in the sliding resistance and sliding sound between the slide members and theguide portion 11 as well as an increase in the vibration of thecar 2. Further, it is possible to make smaller the contact areas between the slide members and theguide portion 11 as compared with the case where thecontact surface 26a is a mirror finished surface, so it is also possible to prevent the generation of a squeaking sound between the slide members and theguide portion 11. That is, the occurrence of trouble resulting from the surface configuration of theguide portion 11 can be prevented. Furthermore, the lubricating oil can be held in theconcave portions 33, so the slide members can be caused to slide smoothly with respect to theguide portion 11. Moreover, surface finishing processing on theguide portion 11 can be performed only by pressing the finishingroller 26 against theguide portion 11. Thus, the production of thecar guide rails 8 can be facilitated. Here, note that similar advantageous effects can be achieved for the counterweight guide rails 9. - In addition, in such a rail
surface processing apparatus 21 for an elevator, the surface of eachguide portion 11 is processed by thesurface finishing member 23 which includes the finishingroller 26 having thesmooth abutment surface 26a formed thereon and thepressing device 27 for pressing theabutment surface 26a of the finishingroller 26 to thecontact surface 11a of theguide portion 11. Accordingly, the smooth rolled or pressedsurfaces 34 can be formed on thecontact surface 11 a only by pressing the finishingroller 26 against theguide portion 11, and hence surface finishing processing on theguide portion 11 can be carried out with ease. Here, note that the surface finishing processing on theguide portion 13 of each counterweight guide rail 9 can also be carried out with ease. - In addition, since the finishing
roller 26 is pressed to theguide portions roller 26 in a rolling manner, so the surface finishing processing of theguide portions - Each of the
concave portions 33 may also be a groove that is disposed along the direction of movement of the slide members. In this case, the individual grooves are formed on the surfaces of theguide portions guide portions guide portions - Although in the above example, the width of the
abutment surface 26a is made smaller than the width of each of theguide portions abutment surface 26a and theguide portions - Specifically,
Fig. 5 is an essential part cross sectional view that shows a rail surface processing apparatus for an elevator according to a second embodiment of the present invention. In this figure, the width of anabutment surface 26a of a finishingroller 26 is made equal to the width of each of aguide portion 11. Theabutment surface 26a is a flat surface that is arranged along a circumferential direction of the finishingroller 26. In this regard, note that the width of theabutment surface 26a of the finishingroller 26 is also made equal to the width of aguide portion 13 of a counterweight guide rail 9. The construction of this embodiment other than the above is similar to that of the first embodiment. - Thus, since the width of the
abutment surface 26a of the finishingroller 26 is made equal to the width of each of theguide portions roller 26 to roll over theguide portions roller 26 in a processing width direction, and hence the surface finishing processing of theguide portions -
Fig. 6 is an essential part cross sectional view that shows a rail surface processing apparatus for an elevator according to a third embodiment of the present invention. In this figure, on anabutment surface 26a of a finishingroller 26, there are formed a plurality of protrudingportions 41 that extend along a circumferential direction of the finishingroller 26. The individual protrudingportions 41 are arranged at intervals in a thickness direction of the finishingroller 26. In addition, the individual protrudingportions 41 protrude from an outer peripheral portion of the finishingroller 26 to a diametrically outer side of the finishingroller 26. The respective surfaces of the individual protrudingportions 41 and theabutment surface 26a are made smooth. In this example, the cross-sectional shape of each of the protrudingportions 41 in a plane perpendicular to the circumferential direction of the finishingroller 26 is made semicircular. - The pressing force of the finishing
roller 26 to aguide portion 11 is adjusted by the adjustment of an adjustment spring of apressing device 27 to such a force that can plastically deform the material of theguide portion 11 along the shape of theabutment surface 26a. Surface finishing processing is performed on acontact surface 11a of theguide portion 11 by pressing theabutment surface 26a against thecontact surface 11 a. - On the
contact surface 11a of theguide portion 11 after the surface finishing processing is performed, there are formed a plurality of minute grooves (concave portions) 42 andconvex portions 43, respectively, by pressing the finishingroller 26 against the guide portion 11thereby to plastically deform the material of theguide portion 11. Accordingly, theindividual grooves 42 are made to take their inner surface shapes conforming to the individual protrudingportions 41, respectively, and the individualconvex portions 43 are made to take surface shapes conforming to the portions of theabutment surface 26a between adjacent ones of the individual protrudingportions 41. In addition, the inner surfaces of theindividual grooves 42 and the surfaces of the individualconvex portions 43 are made smooth. Here, note that theguide portion 13 of a counterweight guide rail 9 is subjected to the same surface finishing processing as that performed on theguide portion 11. The construction of this embodiment other than the above is similar to that of the second embodiment. - In such a
car guide rail 8, theminute grooves 42 andconvex portions 43 formed by pressing the finishingroller 26 against theguide portion 11 thereby to plastically deform the material of theguide portion 11 are provided on thecontact surface 11a of theguide portion 11. As a result, the surfaces of theconvex portions 43 are made smooth, and for example, the wear of the slide members and the like can be suppressed, thereby making it possible to prevent the occurrence of trouble resulting from the surface configuration of theguide portion 11. In addition, lubricating oil can be held in thegrooves 42, so the slide members can be caused to slide smoothly with respect to theguide portion 11. Thus, the production of thecar guide rail 8 can be facilitated. Here, note that similar advantageous effects can be achieved for the counterweight guide rail 9. - In addition, since the
grooves 42 disposed along the direction of movement of the slide members are formed on thecontact surface 11a of theguide portion 11, the lubricating oil can be supplied to between the slide members and theguide portion 11 in a further reliable manner, so smooth movements of the slide members with respect to theguide portion 11 can be achieved more reliably. - Moreover, in such a rail surface processing apparatus for an elevator, the surface of each
guide portion 11 is processed by thesurface finishing member 23 which includes the finishingroller 26 having theabutment surface 26a with the protrudingportions 41 formed thereon, and thepressing device 27 for pressing theabutment surface 26a to thecontact surface 11a of theguide portion 11. Accordingly, even in case where there is no groove formed on thecontact surface 11 a before the surface finishing processing thereof, the material of theguide portion 11 can be plastically deformed by the protrudingportions 41, so thegrooves 42 and theconvex portions 43 can be formed in a more reliable manner. In addition, thegrooves 42 and theconvex portions 43 can be formed on thecontact surface 11a only by pressing the finishingroller 26 against theguide portion 11, so the surface finishing processing on theguide portion 11 can be carried out with ease. Here, note that similar advantageous effects can be achieved for the surface finishing processing on theguide portion 13 of each counterweight guide rail 9. -
Fig. 7 is a side elevational view that shows a rail surface processing apparatus for an elevator according to a fourth embodiment of the present invention. In this figure, a railsurface processing apparatus 51 has aprocessing unit 52 installed on acar 2. Theprocessing unit 52 is mounted on thecar 2 in such a manner that it is arranged in opposition to car guide rails 8. In addition, theprocessing unit 52 is caused to move together with thecar 2 while performing surface finishing processing on the car guide rails 8. The railsurface processing apparatus 51 performs surface finishing processing on thecar guide rails 8 that have already been installed in a hoistway 1. - The
car 2 has acar room 53 and acar frame 54 that encloses and supports thecar room 53. Theslide members 55 facing in opposition to the individualcar guide rails 8, respectively, are arranged at an upper portion and at a lower portion, respectively, of thecar frame 54. Theprocessing unit 52 is mounted on the upper portion of thecar frame 54. -
Fig. 8 is a cross sectional view along line VIII - VIII inFig. 7 . In this figure, theprocessing unit 52 has asupport frame 56 that is fixedly secured to thecar frame 54, and a plurality of (three in this example)surface finishing members 57 that are mounted on thesupport frame 56 for performing the surface finishing processing on aguide portion 11 of each of the car guide rails 8. - The
guide portion 11 is formed at its opposite sides and at its top withcontact surfaces 11a, respectively, with which theslide members 55 are in contact. Thesupport frame 56 surrounds theguide portion 11 in such a manner as to face in opposition to theindividual contact surfaces 11a, respectively. - The individual
surface finishing members 57 are arranged between thesupport frame 56 and theguide portion 11. With such an arrangement, the individualsurface finishing members 57 are disposed in a manner as to surround theguide portion 11 in a horizontal direction. In addition, each of thesurface finishing members 57 has a finishing roller (pressing member) 26 made of steel, apressing device 27 for pressing the finishingroller 26 to theguide portion 11 of acar guide rail 8, and aposition adjustment device 28 for adjusting the horizontal position of the finishingroller 26 with respect to theguide portion 11. The construction of each of thesurface finishing members 57 is similar to the construction of thesurface finishing member 23 of the first embodiment. - Feed screws 29 of the individual
position adjustment devices 28 are disposed horizontally along theindividual contact surfaces 11a, respectively. Theindividual finishing rollers 26 are caused to displace along the feed screws 29, respectively, by the feed screws 29 being driven to turn by themotors 30, respectively. As a result, the positions of theindividual finishing rollers 26 with respect to theguide portion 11 can be adjusted. - The finishing
rollers 26 of the individualsurface finishing members 57 are individually pressed against theindividual contact surfaces 11a, respectively, that are arranged at the respective opposite sides and the top of theguide portion 11. In addition, theindividual finishing rollers 26 are caused to roll in the direction of movement of thecar 2 while being pressed against (being in contact with) theindividual contact surfaces 11a, respectively, in accordance with the movement of thecar 2. That is, the individualsurface finishing members 57 perform surface finishing processing on theindividual contact surfaces 11a of theguide portion 11, respectively. The construction of this embodiment other than the above is similar to that of the first embodiment. - Now, reference will be made to a procedure when the surface finishing processing of each
car guide rail 8 is performed. First of all, theprocessing unit 52 is mounted on thecar 2. At this time, theindividual finishing rollers 26 are pressed to theindividual contact surfaces 11a of theguide portion 11. After this, thecar 2 is driven to move from one of an upper end portion and a lower end portion of the hoistway 1 to the other thereof while causing theindividual finishing rollers 26 to roll on theguide portion 11. - Thereafter, by turning the feed screws 29, the positions of the
individual finishing rollers 26 are displaced in the horizontal direction, after which thecar 2 is again driven to move from one of the upper end portion and the lower end portion of the hoistway 1 to the other thereof. - The above-mentioned procedure is repeatedly carried out so that the
individual finishing rollers 26 are caused to roll over the entire contact surfaces 11a of theguide portion 11 while being pressed against them. In this manner, the surface finishing processing of theguide portion 11 is carried out. - Here, note that in case where the surface finishing processing of a
guide portion 13 of a counterweight guide rail 9 is performed, theprocessing unit 52 is mounted on acounterweight 3, and the surface finishing processing of theguide portion 13 is carried out by moving thecounterweight 3. - In such a rail
surface processing apparatus 51 for an elevator, the individualsurface finishing members 57 are mounted on thecar 2, and the finishingrollers 26 of the individualsurface finishing members 57 are caused to roll while being in contact with the contact surfaces 11 a of eachguide portion 11 in accordance with the movement of thecar 2. Accordingly, even when thecar guide rails 8 have already been installed in the hoistway 1, the surface finishing processing of theguide portions 11 can be carried out with ease only by moving thecar 2. - For example, when the mirror finishing of the contact surfaces 11a of the
guide portions 11 occurs due to the polishing action of theslide members 55 and lubricating oil to generate a squeaking sound between theslide members 55 and theguide portions 11, the surface finishing processing of theguide portions 11 can be performed with thecar guide rails 8 remaining installed in the hoistway 1, and the trouble of generating a squeaking sound can be easily eliminated without exchanging the car guide rails 8. Here, note that similar advantageous effects as with theguide rails 8 can be achieved for the counterweight guide rail 9. - In addition, the plurality of
surface finishing members 57 are arranged in such a manner as to surround eachguide portion 11, and the finishingrollers 26 of the individualsurface finishing members 57 are pressed against the contact surfaces 11a of eachguide portion 11, respectively. Accordingly, surface finishing processing can be performed at the same time with respect to the plurality ofcontact surfaces 11a formed on eachguide portion 11. As a result, it is possible to shorten the time of surface finishing processing.
