Definitions
- the present invention relates to an elevator hoisting machine braking apparatus for braking raising and lowering of a car and a counterweight.
- Figure 6 is a partial cross section that shows a conventional elevator hoisting machine braking apparatus.
- a brake shoe 102 that can contact with and separate from an inner circumferential surface of the brake drum 101; a movable core 103 that is disposed away from the brake shoe 102; coupling members 104 that link the brake shoe 102 and the movable core 103 to each other; a spring 105 that forces the movable core 103 in a direction in which the brake shoe 102 comes into contact with the inner circumferential surface of the brake drum 101; and an electromagnet 106 that displaces the movable core 103 in a direction in which the brake shoe 102 separates from the inner circumferential surface of the brake drum 101 in opposition to the force from the spring 105.
- Figure 7 is a cross section that shows the brake shoe 102, the movable core 103, and a coupling member 104 from Figure 6 .
- a threaded aperture 107 is disposed on the movable core 103.
- An internal screw thread portion 107a is formed on an inner circumferential portion of the threaded aperture 107.
- An external screw thread portion 104a that can be screwed together with the internal screw thread portion 107a is formed on an outer circumferential portion of the coupling member 104.
- the coupling member 104 is mounted to the movable core 103 by the external screw thread portion 104a being screwed together with the internal screw thread portion 107a.
- a locknut 108 for fixing the coupling member 104 to the movable core 103 is screwed together with the external screw thread portion 104a.
- the locknut 108 fastens the coupling member 104 to the movable core 103 when placed in contact with the movable core 103.
- the external screw thread portion 104a is prevented from rotating relative to the internal screw thread portion 107a by the locknut 108 fastening the coupling member 104 to the movable core 103.
- the movable core 103 is displaced away from the brake drum 101 by supplying electric power to the electromagnet 106, and is displaced toward the brake drum 101 by stopping the supply of electric power to the electromagnet 106.
- the stroke ⁇ g of the movable core 103 is adjusted by adjusting the amount of thread engagement of the external screw thread portion 104a with the internal screw thread portion 107a.
- Adjustment of the stroke ⁇ g of the movable core 103 is performed by the following procedure. First, the locknut 108 is loosened with the brake shoe 102 pressed against the brake drum 101 by the force from the spring 105. The coupling member 104 is then temporarily positioned relative to the movable core 103 by adjusting the amount of thread engagement of the external screw thread portion 104a in the internal screw thread portion 107a by turning the coupling member 104.
- Figure 8 is an enlarged cross section that shows a state in which the locknut 108 from Figure 7 is loose.
- the coupling member 104 is positioned temporarily relative to the movable core 103, the movable core 103 is being pushed toward the brake shoe 102 (to the right in Figure 8 ) by the force from the spring 105. Consequently, the ridge of the internal screw thread portion 107a is pushed toward the brake shoe 102 against the ridge of the external screw thread portion 104a.
- the coupling member 104 After the coupling member 104 is positioned temporarily relative to the movable core 103, the coupling member 104 is fastened to the movable core 103 by turning the locknut 108. The coupling member 104 is thereby restrained by the movable core 103.
- Figure 9 is an enlarged cross section that shows a state in which the locknut 108 from Figure 8 is placed against the movable core 103 and fastened.
- the coupling member 104 is pushed toward the brake shoe 102 (to the right in Figure 9 ) relative to the movable core 103 by the fastening force from the locknut 108.
- the ridge of the external screw thread portion 104a separates from the ridge of the internal screw thread portion 107a, moves by a minute distance ⁇ d to the right in Figure 9 , and contacts a different ridge of the internal screw thread portion 107a. Consequently, the coupling member 104 moves relative to the movable core 103 during fastening of the locknut 108, and is restrained at a position that has drifted from the temporary position.
- Adjustment precision of the stroke ⁇ g can also be improved by adjusting the restrained position of the coupling member 104 relative to the movable core 103 by measuring the stroke ⁇ g of the movable core 103 using a measuring instrument such as a dial gauge, etc., while turning the coupling member 104 and the locknut 108, respectively, but because the adjustment work becomes a complicated operation that involves constantly checking the measuring instrument, adjustment work on the stroke ⁇ g becomes very time consuming.
- the coupling member 104 can also be prevented from moving relative to the movable core 103 during fastening of the locknut by disposing a penetrating threaded aperture on the brake shoe 102, making a coupling member 104 that is screwed into the penetrating threaded aperture project into a space between the brake shoe 102 and the brake drum 101, and fastening the locknut by screwing it together with a projecting portion of the coupling member 104, but because it is necessary to ensure space between the brake shoe 102 and the brake drum 101 for inserting tools to turn the locknut, for example, the elevator hoisting machine braking apparatus is enlarged.
- the present invention aims to solve the above problems and an object of the present invention is to provide an elevator hoisting machine braking apparatus that enables movable core stroke adjustment to be performed more accurately, and also enables stroke adjustment work to be facilitated.

- FIG 3 is an enlarged cross section that shows a state in which the locknut 6 from Figure 2 is loose.
- the movable core 4 is pushed toward the brake shoe (to the right in Figure 3 ) by the force from the forcing spring 7. Consequently, a ridge of the first holding internal screw thread portion 18 is pushed toward the brake shoe 3 against a ridge of the adjusting external screw thread portion 22.
- the adjusting external screw thread portion 22 can be turned around relative to the first holding internal screw thread portion 18 by a predetermined actuating force.

- the locknut 6 when the locknut 6 is turned, respective ridges of the fixing internal screw thread portion 23 and the fixing external screw thread portion 24 are moved in opposite directions to each other. Consequently, by turning the locknut 6 in a predetermined fastening direction, the ridge of the fixing external screw thread portion 24 is moved out of the nut insertion recess aperture 16 (direction A in Figure 4 ), and the ridge of the fixing internal screw thread portion 23 is moved into the bolt insertion aperture 17 (direction B in Figure 4 ).
- the adjusting external screw thread portion 22 is pressed against the first holding internal screw thread portion 18 in a direction in which the brake shoe 3 and the movable core 4 approach each other, and the position of the adjusting external screw thread portion 22 is fixed relative to the first holding internal screw thread portion 18.

- the locknut 6 is turned a little at a time while the position of the fixing internal screw thread portion 23 is adjusted such that the respective ridges of the fixing internal screw thread portion 23 and the first holding internal screw thread portion 18 are disposed on an identical helix.
- the amount of thread engagement of the adjusting external screw thread portion 22 in the first holding internal screw thread portion 18 is subsequently adjusted to temporarily position the adjusting external screw thread portion 22 relative to the first holding internal screw thread portion 18.

- the locknut 6 is subsequently turned in the predetermined fastening direction using a spanner, etc., for example.

- Fastening force from the locknut 6 is thereby applied to the movable core 4 and the adjusting bolt 5 in a direction in which the force with which the respective ridges of the adjusting external screw thread portion 22 and the first holding internal screw thread portion 18 are pushed against each other is increased.
- the adjusting bolt 5 is held at the temporary position relative to the movable core 4 without the respective ridges of the adjusting external screw thread portion 22 and the first holding internal screw thread portion 18 separating from each other. Moreover, because the locknut 6 is moved within a range of a pitch of the respective ridges of the fixing internal screw thread portion 23 and the fixing external screw thread portion 24 at this time, the amount that the locknut 6 is turned is minute.
- an adjusting external screw thread portion 22 is pressed against a first holding internal screw thread portion 18 in a direction in which a brake shoe 3 and a movable core 4 approach each other by a fastening force from a locknut 6, the locknut 6 can be fastened without moving the temporary position of an adjusting bolt 5 relative to the movable core 4 when the adjusting bolt 5 is fixed to the movable core 4. Consequently, adjustment of a stroke ⁇ g of the movable core 4 can be made more accurately. Because it is no longer necessary to use a measuring instrument such as a dial gauge, etc., during adjustment work on the stroke ⁇ g of the movable core 4, adjustment work on the stroke ⁇ g can be facilitated. Consequently, reductions in work time for adjustment of the stroke ⁇ g can be achieved. In addition, because it is no longer necessary to dispose the locknut 6 between the brake shoe 3 and the brake drum 2, size reductions in the elevator hoisting machine braking apparatus can be achieved.
- a second holding internal screw thread portion 19 and an adjusting external screw thread portion 22 are disposed on a movable core 4 and an adjusting bolt 5, respectively, and a fixing internal screw thread portion 23 that can be screwed together with the adjusting external screw thread portion 22 and a fixing external screw thread portion 24 that can be screwed together with the second holding internal screw thread portion 19 are disposed on a locknut 6, and directions of the helices of the respective ridges of the fixing internal screw thread portion 23 and the fixing external screw thread portion 24 are in reverse directions to each other, the configuration for fixing the adjusting bolt 5 to the movable core 4 can be simplified.

The externalscrew thread portion 104a is prevented from rotating relative to the internalscrew thread portion 107a by thelocknut 108 fastening thecoupling member 104 to themovable core 103. - The
movable core 103 is displaced away from thebrake drum 101 by supplying electric power to theelectromagnet 106, and is displaced toward thebrake drum 101 by stopping the supply of electric power to theelectromagnet 106. The stroke Δg of themovable core 103 is adjusted by adjusting the amount of thread engagement of the externalscrew thread portion 104a with the internalscrew thread portion 107a. - Adjustment of the stroke Δg of the
movable core 103 is performed by the following procedure. First, thelocknut 108 is loosened with thebrake shoe 102 pressed against thebrake drum 101 by the force from thespring 105. Thecoupling member 104 is then temporarily positioned relative to themovable core 103 by adjusting the amount of thread engagement of the externalscrew thread portion 104a in the internalscrew thread portion 107a by turning thecoupling member 104. - Now,
Figure 8 is an enlarged cross section that shows a state in which thelocknut 108 fromFigure 7 is loose. As shown inFigure 8 , when thecoupling member 104 is positioned temporarily relative to themovable core 103, themovable core 103 is being pushed toward the brake shoe 102 (to the right inFigure 8 ) by the force from thespring 105. Consequently, the ridge of the internalscrew thread portion 107a is pushed toward thebrake shoe 102 against the ridge of the externalscrew thread portion 104a. - After the
coupling member 104 is positioned temporarily relative to themovable core 103, thecoupling member 104 is fastened to themovable core 103 by turning thelocknut 108. Thecoupling member 104 is thereby restrained by themovable core 103. -
Figure 9 is an enlarged cross section that shows a state in which thelocknut 108 fromFigure 8 is placed against themovable core 103 and fastened. When thelocknut 108 that has been placed in contact with themovable core 103 is turned and fastened, thecoupling member 104 is pushed toward the brake shoe 102 (to the right inFigure 9 ) relative to themovable core 103 by the fastening force from thelocknut 108. Thus, the ridge of the externalscrew thread portion 104a separates from the ridge of the internalscrew thread portion 107a, moves by a minute distance Δd to the right inFigure 9 , and contacts a different ridge of the internalscrew thread portion 107a. Consequently, thecoupling member 104 moves relative to themovable core 103 during fastening of thelocknut 108, and is restrained at a position that has drifted from the temporary position. -
Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2002-242961 WO 2004/036080 - In conventional elevator hoisting machine braking apparatuses of this kind, because the position at which the
coupling member 104 is restrained by themovable core 103 drifts from the temporary position, it is impossible to adjust the stroke of themovable core 103 accurately. - Adjustment precision of the stroke Δg can also be improved by adjusting the restrained position of the
coupling member 104 relative to themovable core 103 by measuring the stroke Δg of themovable core 103 using a measuring instrument such as a dial gauge, etc., while turning thecoupling member 104 and thelocknut 108, respectively, but because the adjustment work becomes a complicated operation that involves constantly checking the measuring instrument, adjustment work on the stroke Δg becomes very time consuming. - In addition, the
coupling member 104 can also be prevented from moving relative to themovable core 103 during fastening of the locknut by disposing a penetrating threaded aperture on thebrake shoe 102, making acoupling member 104 that is screwed into the penetrating threaded aperture project into a space between thebrake shoe 102 and thebrake drum 101, and fastening the locknut by screwing it together with a projecting portion of thecoupling member 104, but because it is necessary to ensure space between thebrake shoe 102 and thebrake drum 101 for inserting tools to turn the locknut, for example, the elevator hoisting machine braking apparatus is enlarged. - The present invention aims to solve the above problems and an object of the present invention is to provide an elevator hoisting machine braking apparatus that enables movable core stroke adjustment to be performed more accurately, and also enables stroke adjustment work to be facilitated.
- In order to achieve the above object, according to the present invention, there is provided an elevator hoisting machine braking apparatus comprising the features of claim 1.

-
Figure 1 is a partial cross section that shows an elevator hoisting machine braking apparatus according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. In the figure, a motor (not shown), a driving sheave (not shown) that is rotated by a driving force from the motor, and a braking apparatus (an elevator hoisting machine braking apparatus) 1 that can brake rotation of the driving sheave are mounted to an elevator hoisting machine. A plurality of main ropes (not shown) that suspend a car and a counterweight are wound around the driving sheave. The car and the counterweight are raised and lowered inside a hoistway by the rotation of the driving sheave. - The braking apparatus 1 has: a brake drum (a rotating body) 2 that is rotated together with a rotating shaft of the motor; a brake shoe 3 that can be displaced in a such a direction as to contact with or separate from the brake drum 2; a
movable core 4 that is disposed away from the brake shoe 3; an adjusting bolt (a coupling member) 5 that links the brake shoe 3 and themovable core 4 to each other, and that can adjust the spacing between the brake shoe 3 and themovable core 4; a locknut (a fixing means) 6 that fixes the spacing between the brake shoe 3 and themovable core 4 that has been adjusted by the adjustingbolt 5; a forcing spring (a forcing body) 7 that forces themovable core 4 in a direction in which the brake shoe 3 contacts the brake drum 2; and anelectromagnet 8 that displaces themovable core 4 in a direction in which the brake shoe 3 separates from the brake drum 2 in opposition to the force from the forcingspring 7. - The brake drum 2 has an annular portion 9 that is disposed coaxially with the rotating shaft of the motor. The brake shoe 3, the
movable core 4, the adjustingbolt 5, thelocknut 6, the forcingspring 7, and theelectromagnet 8 are disposed inside the annular portion 9. Theelectromagnet 8 is mounted to amounting member 10 that supports the rotating shaft of the motor. - The brake shoe 3 has: a plurality of
linings 11 that contact with and separate from an inner circumferential surface of the annular portion 9; and alining holding member 12 that holds thelinings 11. Rotation of the brake drum 2 is braked by thelinings 11 contacting the inner circumferential surface of the annular portion 9. Braking of the rotation of the brake drum 2 is released by thelinings 11 separating from the inner circumferential surface of the annular portion 9. - The
movable core 4 is disposed at a position that is further away from the annular portion 9 than the brake shoe 3 in the direction in which the brake shoe 3 is displaced. The adjustingbolt 5 and thelocknut 6 are disposed between the brake shoe 3 and themovable core 4. The brake shoe 3, themovable core 4, the adjustingbolt 5, and thelocknut 6 are displaced together. - The
electromagnet 8 is disposed at a position that is further away from the annular portion 9 than themovable core 4 in the direction in which the brake shoe 3 is displaced. In other words, themovable core 4 is disposed between the brake shoe 3 and theelectromagnet 8. Consequently, the brake shoe 3 is displaced toward the annular portion 9 by themovable core 4 being displaced away from theelectromagnet 8, and is displaced away from the annular portion 9 by themovable core 4 being displaced toward theelectromagnet 8. - The forcing
spring 7 is compressed between themovable core 4 and theelectromagnet 8 so as to generate elastic repulsive force. Themovable core 4 is forced away from theelectromagnet 8 by the elastic repulsive force from the forcingspring 7. - The
electromagnet 8 has: a fixedcore 13; and anelectromagnetic coil 14 that is disposed on the fixedcore 13, and that generates electromagnetic attraction that attracts themovable core 4 on receiving a supply of electric power. Themovable core 4 is displaced toward theelectromagnet 8 in opposition to the elastic repulsive force from the forcingspring 7 by supplying electric power to theelectromagnetic coil 14, and is displaced away from theelectromagnet 8 in accordance with the elastic repulsive force of the forcingspring 7 by stopping the supply of electric power to theelectromagnetic coil 14. -
Figure 2 is a cross section that shows the brake shoe 3, themovable core 4, the adjustingbolt 5, and thelocknut 6 fromFigure 1 . In the figure, aspherical seat 15 that faces themovable core 4 is disposed on thelining holding member 12. A bearingportion 15a that is formed so as to have a curved surface is disposed on thespherical seat 15. - A nut
insertion recess aperture 16 that faces thespherical seat 15, and abolt insertion aperture 17 that extends from a bottom portion of the nutinsertion recess aperture 16 toward the electromagnet 8 (away from the brake shoe 3) are disposed on themovable core 4. The nutinsertion recess aperture 16 has a predetermined depth in a thickness direction of the movable core 4 (the direction in which themovable core 4 is displaced). An inside diameter of the nutinsertion recess aperture 16 is greater than an inside diameter of thebolt insertion aperture 17. Thebolt insertion aperture 17 passes through themovable core 4. The nutinsertion recess aperture 16 and thebolt insertion aperture 17 are disposed coaxially in the thickness direction of themovable core 4. - A first holding internal screw thread portion (a holding helical portion) 18 is disposed on an inner circumferential portion of the
bolt insertion aperture 17. A second holding internalscrew thread portion 19 is disposed on an inner circumferential portion of the nutinsertion recess aperture 16. Consequently, the first and second holding internalscrew thread portions movable core 4. In other words, the respective ridges of the first and second holding internalscrew thread portions movable core 4. A diameter of the second holding internalscrew thread portion 19 is larger than a diameter of the first holding internalscrew thread portion 18. In addition, directions of the helices of the respective ridges of the first and second holding internalscrew thread portions screw thread portion 18 is greater than a pitch of the ridge of the second holding internalscrew thread portion 19. - The adjusting
bolt 5 has: abolt portion 20 that can be inserted into thebolt insertion aperture 17; and ahead portion 21 that is disposed on an end portion of thebolt portion 20, and that can be mounted onto thespherical seat 15. An outside diameter of thehead portion 21 is larger than an outside diameter of thebolt portion 20. - A leaf spring (a holder) 30 that presses the
head portion 21 against the bearingportion 15a is disposed on thelining holding member 12. Thehead portion 21 is mounted to thespherical seat 15 by being pressed against the bearingportion 15a. A portion of thehead portion 21 that contacts the bearingportion 15a is formed into a curved surface so as to match the shape of the bearingportion 15a. Consequently, the brake shoe 3 can pivot relative to the adjustingbolt 5. - An adjusting external screw thread portion (an adjusting helical portion) 22 that can be screwed into the first holding internal
screw thread portion 18 is disposed on an outer circumferential portion of thebolt portion 20. Spacing between the brake shoe 3 and themovable core 4 can be adjusted by adjusting the amount of thread engagement of the adjusting externalscrew thread portion 22 in the first holding internalscrew thread portion 18. The stroke Δg of themovable core 4 is determined by the spacing between the brake shoe 3 and themovable core 4. - The
locknut 6 is inserted into the nutinsertion recess aperture 16. Thebolt portion 20 is passed through thelocknut 6. In addition, thelocknut 6 is constituted by a nut member on which are disposed: a fixing internalscrew thread portion 23 that can be screwed together with the adjusting externalscrew thread portion 22; a fixing externalscrew thread portion 24 that can be screwed together with the second holding internalscrew thread portion 19; and an engagingportion 25 with which a tool for turning the locknut 6 (a spanner, etc., for example) can engage. - The fixing internal
screw thread portion 23 and the fixing externalscrew thread portion 24 are disposed coaxially. Directions of the helices of the respective ridges of the fixing internalscrew thread portion 23 and the fixing externalscrew thread portion 24 are in reverse directions to each other. A diameter of the fixing internalscrew thread portion 23 is identical to a diameter of the first holding internalscrew thread portion 18. A pitch of a ridge of the fixing internalscrew thread portion 23 is identical to a pitch of a ridge of the first holding internalscrew thread portion 18. A diameter of the fixing externalscrew thread portion 24 is larger than a diameter of the fixing internalscrew thread portion 23. - The adjusting
bolt 5 is restrained by themovable core 4 by being fastened in the direction in which thelocknut 6 is inserted into the nutinsertion recess aperture 16 at an engaging portion between the fixing externalscrew thread portion 24 and the second holding internalscrew thread portion 19. -
Figure 3 is an enlarged cross section that shows a state in which thelocknut 6 fromFigure 2 is loose. In the figure, when thelocknut 6 is loose, themovable core 4 is pushed toward the brake shoe (to the right inFigure 3 ) by the force from the forcingspring 7. Consequently, a ridge of the first holding internalscrew thread portion 18 is pushed toward the brake shoe 3 against a ridge of the adjusting externalscrew thread portion 22. In this state, the adjusting externalscrew thread portion 22 can be turned around relative to the first holding internalscrew thread portion 18 by a predetermined actuating force. -
Figure 4 is an enlarged cross section that shows a state in which thelocknut 6 fromFigure 3 is fastened. In the figure, when thelocknut 6 is turned, respective ridges of the fixing internalscrew thread portion 23 and the fixing externalscrew thread portion 24 are moved in opposite directions to each other. Consequently, by turning thelocknut 6 in a predetermined fastening direction, the ridge of the fixing externalscrew thread portion 24 is moved out of the nut insertion recess aperture 16 (direction A inFigure 4 ), and the ridge of the fixing internalscrew thread portion 23 is moved into the bolt insertion aperture 17 (direction B inFigure 4 ). - Consequently, when the
locknut 6 is turned in the predetermined fastening direction, themovable core 4 is pushed toward the brake shoe 3 (to the right inFigure 4 ), and the adjustingbolt 5 is pushed in a direction in which the brake shoe 3 approaches the movable core 4 (to the left inFigure 4 ). Thus, the force with which the ridge of the first holding internalscrew thread portion 18 is pressed against the ridge of the adjusting externalscrew thread portion 22 increases, and the adjusting externalscrew thread portion 22 is held so as not to turn relative to the first holding internalscrew thread portion 18. In other words, by thelocknut 6 being turned in the predetermined fastening direction, the adjusting externalscrew thread portion 22 is pressed against the first holding internalscrew thread portion 18 in a direction in which the brake shoe 3 and themovable core 4 approach each other, and the position of the adjusting externalscrew thread portion 22 is fixed relative to the first holding internalscrew thread portion 18. - Next, a procedure for mounting the adjusting
bolt 5 and thelocknut 6 to themovable core 4 will be explained. First, thelocknut 6 is inserted into the nutinsertion recess aperture 16 while screwing the fixing externalscrew thread portion 24 together with the second holding internalscrew thread portion 19. - The adjusting external
screw thread portion 22 is subsequently screwed together sequentially with the fixing internalscrew thread portion 23 and the first holding internalscrew thread portion 18 while turning the adjustingbolt 5, and thebolt portion 20 is passed through thelocknut 6 and thebolt insertion aperture 17. Here, because the first holding internalscrew thread portion 18 cannot be screwed together with the adjusting externalscrew thread portion 22 if the position of the fixing internalscrew thread portion 23 drifts, thelocknut 6 is turned a little at a time while the position of the fixing internalscrew thread portion 23 is adjusted such that the respective ridges of the fixing internalscrew thread portion 23 and the first holding internalscrew thread portion 18 are disposed on an identical helix. - The amount of thread engagement of the adjusting external
screw thread portion 22 in the first holding internalscrew thread portion 18 is subsequently adjusted to temporarily position the adjusting externalscrew thread portion 22 relative to the first holding internalscrew thread portion 18. At this point, themovable core 4 is being forced toward the brake shoe 3 by the forcingspring 7. Consequently, the ridge of the first holding internalscrew thread portion 18 is being pushed toward the brake shoe 3 onto the ridge of the adjusting externalscrew thread portion 22. - The
locknut 6 is subsequently turned in the predetermined fastening direction using a spanner, etc., for example. The ridge of the fixing externalscrew thread portion 24 is thereby moved out of the nut insertion recess aperture 16 (direction A inFigure 4 ), and the fixing internalscrew thread portion 23 is moved into the bolt insertion aperture 17 (direction B inFigure 4 ). Fastening force from thelocknut 6 is thereby applied to themovable core 4 and the adjustingbolt 5 in a direction in which the force with which the respective ridges of the adjusting externalscrew thread portion 22 and the first holding internalscrew thread portion 18 are pushed against each other is increased. Consequently, when thelocknut 6 is fastened, the adjustingbolt 5 is held at the temporary position relative to themovable core 4 without the respective ridges of the adjusting externalscrew thread portion 22 and the first holding internalscrew thread portion 18 separating from each other. Moreover, because thelocknut 6 is moved within a range of a pitch of the respective ridges of the fixing internalscrew thread portion 23 and the fixing externalscrew thread portion 24 at this time, the amount that thelocknut 6 is turned is minute. - In an elevator hoisting machine braking apparatus of this kind, because an adjusting external
screw thread portion 22 is pressed against a first holding internalscrew thread portion 18 in a direction in which a brake shoe 3 and amovable core 4 approach each other by a fastening force from alocknut 6, thelocknut 6 can be fastened without moving the temporary position of an adjustingbolt 5 relative to themovable core 4 when the adjustingbolt 5 is fixed to themovable core 4. Consequently, adjustment of a stroke Δg of themovable core 4 can be made more accurately. Because it is no longer necessary to use a measuring instrument such as a dial gauge, etc., during adjustment work on the stroke Δg of themovable core 4, adjustment work on the stroke Δg can be facilitated. Consequently, reductions in work time for adjustment of the stroke Δg can be achieved. In addition, because it is no longer necessary to dispose thelocknut 6 between the brake shoe 3 and the brake drum 2, size reductions in the elevator hoisting machine braking apparatus can be achieved. - Because a second holding internal
screw thread portion 19 and an adjusting externalscrew thread portion 22 are disposed on amovable core 4 and an adjustingbolt 5, respectively, and a fixing internalscrew thread portion 23 that can be screwed together with the adjusting externalscrew thread portion 22 and a fixing externalscrew thread portion 24 that can be screwed together with the second holding internalscrew thread portion 19 are disposed on alocknut 6, and directions of the helices of the respective ridges of the fixing internalscrew thread portion 23 and the fixing externalscrew thread portion 24 are in reverse directions to each other, the configuration for fixing the adjustingbolt 5 to themovable core 4 can be simplified. - Moreover, in the above example, the first holding internal
screw thread portion 18 and the second holding internalscrew thread portion 19 are disposed on a commonmovable core 4, but themovable core 4 may also be configured such that the first and second holding internalscrew thread portions screw thread portion 19 is disposed is fixed to the core member on which disposed the first holding internalscrew thread portion 18 is disposed. - In the above example, a
locknut 6 that screws together with both amovable core 4 and an adjustingbolt 5 is used as a fixing means, but is not limited to this, provided that the adjustingbolt 5 is pressed against themovable core 4 in a direction in which a brake shoe 3 and themovable core 4 approach each other. For example, a projecting portion may also be disposed on a side surface of the adjustingbolt 5, and a leaf spring that presses the projecting portion toward themovable core 4 used a fixing means. - In the above example, an adjusting
bolt 5 is inserted into abolt insertion aperture 17 that is disposed on amovable core 4, but a rod-shaped bolt shank may also be disposed on themovable core 4, and an insertion aperture into which the bolt shank is inserted disposed on the adjustingbolt 5. In that case, a first holding external screw thread portion can be disposed as a holding helical portion on the bolt shank, and an adjusting internal screw thread portion that can be screwed together with the first holding external screw thread portion can be disposed in the insertion aperture as an adjusting helical portion. In this manner, thelocknut 6 can also be fastened without moving the temporary position of the adjustingbolt 5 relative to themovable core 4, enabling adjustment of the stroke Δg of themovable core 4 to be made more accurately. -
Figure 5 is a partial cross section that shows an elevator hoisting machine braking apparatus according to Embodiment 2 of the present invention. In the figure, aspherical seat 15 that faces a brake shoe 3 is disposed on amovable core 4. A nutinsertion recess aperture 16 that faces thespherical seat 15, and abolt insertion aperture 17 that extends from a bottom portion of the nutinsertion recess aperture 16 toward an annular portion 9 (away from the movable core 4) are disposed on alining holding member 12. The nutinsertion recess aperture 16 and thebolt insertion aperture 17 are disposed coaxially in the thickness direction of thelining holding member 12. - A first holding internal
screw thread portion 18 is disposed on an inner circumferential portion of thebolt insertion aperture 17. A second holding internalscrew thread portion 19 is disposed on an inner circumferential portion of the nutinsertion recess aperture 16. - A
leaf spring 30 that presses ahead portion 21 of an adjustingbolt 5 against a bearingportion 15a of thespherical seat 15 is disposed on themovable core 4. Thehead portion 21 is mounted to thespherical seat 15 by being pressed against the bearingportion 15a. - An adjusting external
screw thread portion 22 that can be screwed into the first holding internalscrew thread portion 18 is disposed on abolt portion 20 of the adjustingbolt 5. Spacing between the brake shoe 3 and themovable core 4 can be adjusted by adjusting the amount of thread engagement of the adjusting externalscrew thread portion 22 in the first holding internalscrew thread portion 18. The stroke Δg of themovable core 4 is determined by the spacing between the brake shoe 3 and themovable core 4. - Disposed on a
locknut 6 are: a fixing internalscrew thread portion 23 that can be screwed together with the adjusting externalscrew thread portion 22; a fixing externalscrew thread portion 24 that can be screwed together with the second holding internalscrew thread portion 19; and an engagingportion 25 with which a tool for turning the locknut 6 (a spanner, etc., for example) can engage. - Respective configurations of the first and second holding internal
screw thread portions screw thread portion 22, the fixing internalscrew thread portion 23, and the fixing externalscrew thread portion 24 are similar to those of Embodiment 1. The rest of the configuration and operation are also similar to Embodiment 1. - Even if the first and second holding internal
screw thread portions lining holding member 12, and thespherical seat 15 is disposed on themovable core 4 in this manner, thelocknut 6 can be fastened without moving the temporary position of an adjustingbolt 5 relative to themovable core 4 when the adjustingbolt 5 is fixed to themovable core 4, enabling similar effects to those in Embodiment 1 to be achieved. - Moreover, in the above example, the first holding internal
screw thread portion 18 and the second holding internalscrew thread portion 19 are disposed on a commonlining holding member 12, but thelining holding member 12 may also be configured such that the first and second holding internalscrew thread portions screw thread portion 19 is disposed is fixed to the holding member on which disposed the first holding internalscrew thread portion 18 is disposed. - In the above example, a
locknut 6 that screws together with both alining holding member 12 and an adjustingbolt 5 is used as a fixing means, but is not limited to this, provided that the adjustingbolt 5 is pressed against thelining holding member 12 in a direction in which a brake shoe 3 and amovable core 4 approach each other. For example, a projecting portion may also be disposed on a side surface of the adjustingbolt 5, and a leaf spring that presses the projecting portion toward thelining holding member 12 used a fixing means. - In the above example, an adjusting
bolt 5 is inserted into abolt insertion aperture 17 that is disposed on alining holding member 12, but a rod-shaped bolt shank may also be disposed on thelining holding member 12, and an insertion aperture into which the bolt shank is inserted disposed on the adjustingbolt 5. In that case, a first holding external screw thread portion can be disposed as a first holding helical portion on the bolt shank, and an adjusting internal screw thread portion that can be screwed together with the first holding external screw thread portion can be disposed in the insertion aperture as an adjusting helical portion. In this manner, thelocknut 6 can also be fastened without moving the temporary position of the adjustingbolt 5 relative to thelining holding member 12, enabling adjustment of the stroke Δg of themovable core 4 to be made more accurately. - In each of the above embodiments, a pitch of a ridge of a first holding internal
screw thread portion 18 is greater than a pitch of a ridge of a second holding internalscrew thread portion 19, but the pitches of the respective ridges of the first and second holding internalscrew thread portions screw thread portion 18 may also be made less than the pitch of the ridge of the second holding internalscrew thread portion 19.
