- the transmitting link member 43 is pivotably mounted by a pin 46 to a support fitting 45 fixed to the weighing device mounting fitting 38.
- the pin 46 is provided at an intermediate portion of the transmitting link member 43.
- One end portion of the transmitting link member 43 is pivotably connected to the second adjusting link member 42 by a pin 47.
- a pressing plate 48 that presses the displacement detection device 40 is fixed to the other end portion of the transmitting link member 43.
- a pivot amount of the transmitting link member 43 is set at an amount corresponding to an average value of displacement amounts of the one-side opposed portions 33a of the respective scale fittings 33.
- the pin 47 is arranged at a position where a distance from the pin 44 is shorter than a distance from a point at which the second adjusting link member 42 is abutted against the guide bolt 36.
- the displacement amount of the pin 44 is determined by the amount obtained by averaging the displacement amounts of the two guide bolts 36, and accordingly, in order to increase an influence of the displacement amount of the pin 44 on the pivot amount of the transmitting link member 43, the pin 47 is arranged at the position closer to the pin 44 than to the point at which the second adjusting link member 42 is abutted against the guide bolt 36 in terms of the distance. In such a way, the average value of the displacement amounts of the three opposed portions 33a with respect to the horizontal portion 30b is accurately reflected on the pivot amount of the transmitting link member 43.
- the displacement detection device 40 is arranged below the pressing plate 48. Further, the displacement detection device 40 includes: a differential transformer 49 mounted to the weighing device mounting fitting 38; a detection bar 50, which is capable of being displaced in the up and down direction with respect to the differential transformer 49, and is pressed downward by the pressing plate 48; and a return spring 51 that urges the detection bar 50 in such a direction as to resist downward displacement of the detection bar 50.
- the detection bar 50 is pressed against the pressing plate 48, which is located above the detection bar 50, by urging force of the return spring 51. Hence, the detection bar 50 is displaced in the up and down direction with respect to the differential transformer 49 in response to the pivot of the transmitting link member 43.
- a spring receiving plate 52 is fixed to the detection bar 50.
- the return spring 51 As the return spring 51, a coil spring into which the detection bar 50 is inserted is used. Further, the return spring 51 is compressed between the differential transformer 49 and the spring receiving plate 52. In such a way, the return spring 51 generates urging force ta press the detection bar 50 against the pressing plate 48.
- the differential transformer 49 is held on the weighing device mounting fitting 38 by amounting band 53 and bolts 54. Further, the differential transformer 49 generates a signal in response to the displacement of the detection bar 50.
- the signal from the differential transformer 49 is sent to a control device (not shown) that controls the operation of the elevator.
- the control device receives the signal from the differential transformer 49 as a signal corresponding to an average value of loads received by the respective ropes 2, and controls the operation of the elevator based on the received signal from the differential transformer 49.
- the respective opposed portions 33a of the scale fittings 33 which receive the load of the car 1 are individually inserted below the respective receiving fittings 30, and each pair of the shackle springs 34 are arranged between the opposed portions 33a and the receiving fittings 30. Accordingly, the respective shackle springs 34 can share and receive the load received by each rope 2. Hence, the load received by each of the shackle springs 34 can be reduced, and miniaturization of each of the shackle springs 34 can be achieved. Further, the shackle 35 and the respective shackle springs 34 can be arrayed in the horizontal direction by each of the scale fittings 33. Accordingly, dimensional reduction of each of the cleat devices 4 in the height direction can be achieved, and dimensional reduction of the car 1 in the height direction can be achieved. Hence, reduction in the size of the hoistway can be achieved.
- the upper frame 17 surrounds the outer circumference of the car room ceiling portion 9, and hence a position of a lower surface of the upper frame 17 can be placed lower than a position of the upper surface of the car room ceiling portion 9. Hence, the dimensional reduction of the car 1 in the height direction can be further achieved.
- the car room ceiling portion 9 is made smaller than the car room body portion 8, and is arranged in the inside of the car room body portion 8. Accordingly, a dimension of the upper frame 17 in the horizontal direction can be reduced. In such a way, reduction of the dimension of the car 1 in the horizontal direction can be achieved.
- the car entrance 10 opened and closed by the car doors 12 is provided, and a part of the upper frame 17 is formed into the door case that supports the car doors 12. Accordingly, the upper frame 17 can also serve as the door case, and the number of components can be reduced. In such a way, overall weight reduction of the car 1 can be achieved.
- the weighing device 28 includes: the link mechanism body 39 that operates in response to the displacement of the scale fittings 33 with respect to the mount 3; and the displacement detection device 40 that generates the signal in response to the operation of the link mechanism body 39, and accordingly, can arrange the displacement detection device 40 at a position apart from the scale fittings 33 by the transmission of the displacement of the link mechanism body 39.
- the displacement detection device 40 can be arranged apart from the cleat devices 4 in the horizontal direction, and an installation space for the displacement detection device 40 can be easily ensured without increasing the dimension of the car 1 in the height direction.
- the link mechanism body 39 includes: the first and second adjusting link members 41 and 42 individually displaced in response to the displacement of the respective scale fittings 33 with respect to the receiving fitting 30 and the relative displacement among the respective scale fittings 33; and the transmitting link member 43 pivoted with respect to the mount 3 in response to the displacement of the first and second adjusting link members 41 and 42. Accordingly, through appropriately setting connection positions of the transmitting link member 43 to the first and second adjusting link members 41 and 42, the pivot amount of the transmitting linkmember 43 can be set at the amount corresponding to the average value of the displacement amounts of the respective scale fittings 33. In such a way, the average value of the displacement amounts of the respective scale fittings 33 with respect to the mount 3 can be easily detected.
- first and second adjusting link members 41 and 42 and the transmitting link member 43 are each formed into the plate-like member, and accordingly, the connection among the respective link members 41, 42, and 43 by the pins can be easily made.

InFIG. 4 to FIG. 6 , themount 3 includes: asupport plate 29 fixed horizontally to theinner frame 22; and a pair of receiving fittings (receiving portions) 30 arranged at an interval in the horizontal direction. - As illustrated in
FIG. 5 , thesupport plate 29 is fixed to the respective inner frametransverse beam portions 27 bybolts 31 under a state in which edge portions thereof are abutted against lower surfaces of the respective inner frametransverse beam portions 27. - The
respective receiving fittings 30 are arranged at an interval in a direction along the inner frametransverse beam portions 27. Further, each of the receivingfittings 30 includes: a pair ofleg portions 30a opposed to each other in the depth direction of the car 1; and ahorizontal portion 30b fixed between therespective leg portions 30a and arranged above thesupport plate 29. In each of thehorizontal portions 30b, throughholes 32 are provided in the same number (three in this example) as theropes 2. The receivingfittings 30 are fabricated by bending belt-like metal plates. - Each of the
cleat devices 4 includes: a scale fitting (hanger member) 33, which includes a pair ofopposed portions 33a individually inserted below the respectivehorizontal portions 30b, and is capable of being displaced in the up and down direction with respect to themount 3; a pair of shackle springs (urging bodies) 34 individually arranged between each of theopposed portions 33a and thehorizontal portion 30b; ashackle 35 arranged between therespective receiving fittings 30 and connected to the scale fitting 33; and guide bolts (guide shafts) 36 fixed to the respectiveopposed portions 33a and inserted through the shackle springs 34 and the through holes 32. - On a portion of the scale fitting 33, which is located between the respective
opposed portions 33a, a protrudingportion 33b for connecting the scale fitting 33 to theshackle 35 is provided. A lower end portion of theshackle 35 is connected to the protrudingportion 33b by apin 37. The scale fitting 33 is pivotable about thepin 37 in the up and down direction with respect to theshackle 35. An upper end portion of theshackle 35 is connected to the end portion of therope 2 through crimping. - The pair of shackle springs 34 are compressed between the
opposed portions 33a and thehorizontal portions 30b by the load of the car 1, which is received from thehorizontal portion 30b. In such a way, the respective shackle springs 34 generate elastic repulsion force. Specifically, the shackle springs 34 urge theopposed portions 33a and thehorizontal portions 30b in such a direction as to resist displacement of thehorizontal portions 30b and theopposed portions 33a in a mutually approaching direction thereof. - The
rope 2 receives the load of the car 1 through the respective shackle springs 34, the scale fitting 33, and theshackle 35. Specifically, therope 2 receives a total load of loads individually received by the pair of shackle springs 34. - The
opposed portions 33a are displaced in the up and down direction with respect to thehorizontal portions 30b by pivot of the scale fitting 33 with respect to theshackle 35 or by displacement of the scale fitting 33 with respect to themount 3. The displacement of theopposed portions 33a in the up and down direction with respect to thehorizontal portions 30b is guided by theguide bolts 36 being slid through the through holes 32. Displacement amount of theopposed portions 33a with respect to thehorizontal portions 30b depend on the loads received by the shackle springs 34. - The weighing
device 28 is fixed to the inner frametransverse beam portion 27 via a weighingdevice mounting fitting 38. Further, the weighingdevice 28 includes: alink mechanism body 39 that operates in response to the displacement of therespective scale fittings 33 with respect to themount 3; and adisplacement detection device 40 that generates a signal in response to the operation of thelink mechanism body 39. - For each of the
scale fittings 33, thelink mechanism body 39 operates in response to the displacement of only one of the pair ofopposed portions 33a. Specifically, only one of the pair ofopposed portions 33a of the scale fitting 33 is configured to interlock with thelink mechanism body 39. Further, thelink mechanism body 39 includes: first and secondadjusting link members respective scale fittings 33 with respect to thehorizontal portions 30b and relative displacement among therespective scale fittings 33; and a transmittinglink member 43 pivoted with respect to themount 3 in response to the displacement of the first and secondadjusting link members adjusting link members link member 43 are each formed into a plate-like member. - The first
adjusting link member 41 is abutted from above against upper end portions of twoguide bolts 36, which are individually arranged on one end side and a center, among the threeguide bolts 36 individually provided on the one-sideopposed portions 33a of therespective scale fittings 33. - The second
adjusting link member 42 is abutted from above against an upper end portion of one remainingguide bolt 36, which is arranged on the other end side, among the threeguide bolts 36, and in addition, is pivotably connected to the firstadjusting link member 41 by apin 44. As illustrated inFIG. 5 , thepin 44 is arranged at a position separated by an equal distance from each of two abutment points between the firstadjusting link member 41 and the twoguide bolts 36. Hence, a displacement amount of thepin 44 with respect to themount 3 is an average value of displacement amounts of the twoguide bolts 36 on the one end side and the center with respect to themount 3. - The transmitting
link member 43 is pivotably mounted by apin 46 to a support fitting 45 fixed to the weighingdevice mounting fitting 38. Thepin 46 is provided at an intermediate portion of the transmittinglink member 43. One end portion of the transmittinglink member 43 is pivotably connected to the secondadjusting link member 42 by apin 47. Apressing plate 48 that presses thedisplacement detection device 40 is fixed to the other end portion of the transmittinglink member 43. - A pivot amount of the transmitting
link member 43 is set at an amount corresponding to an average value of displacement amounts of the one-sideopposed portions 33a of therespective scale fittings 33. Hence, thepin 47 is arranged at a position where a distance from thepin 44 is shorter than a distance from a point at which the secondadjusting link member 42 is abutted against theguide bolt 36. Specifically, the displacement amount of thepin 44 is determined by the amount obtained by averaging the displacement amounts of the twoguide bolts 36, and accordingly, in order to increase an influence of the displacement amount of thepin 44 on the pivot amount of the transmittinglink member 43, thepin 47 is arranged at the position closer to thepin 44 than to the point at which the secondadjusting link member 42 is abutted against theguide bolt 36 in terms of the distance. In such a way, the average value of the displacement amounts of the threeopposed portions 33a with respect to thehorizontal portion 30b is accurately reflected on the pivot amount of the transmittinglink member 43. - The
displacement detection device 40 is arranged below thepressing plate 48. Further, thedisplacement detection device 40 includes: adifferential transformer 49 mounted to the weighingdevice mounting fitting 38; adetection bar 50, which is capable of being displaced in the up and down direction with respect to thedifferential transformer 49, and is pressed downward by thepressing plate 48; and areturn spring 51 that urges thedetection bar 50 in such a direction as to resist downward displacement of thedetection bar 50. - An upper end portion of the
detection bar 50 is pressed against thepressing plate 48, which is located above thedetection bar 50, by urging force of thereturn spring 51. Hence, thedetection bar 50 is displaced in the up and down direction with respect to thedifferential transformer 49 in response to the pivot of the transmittinglink member 43. Aspring receiving plate 52 is fixed to thedetection bar 50. - As the
return spring 51, a coil spring into which thedetection bar 50 is inserted is used. Further, thereturn spring 51 is compressed between thedifferential transformer 49 and thespring receiving plate 52. In such a way, thereturn spring 51 generates urging force ta press thedetection bar 50 against thepressing plate 48. - The
differential transformer 49 is held on the weighing device mounting fitting 38 by amountingband 53 andbolts 54. Further, thedifferential transformer 49 generates a signal in response to the displacement of thedetection bar 50. - The signal from the
differential transformer 49 is sent to a control device (not shown) that controls the operation of the elevator. The control device receives the signal from thedifferential transformer 49 as a signal corresponding to an average value of loads received by therespective ropes 2, and controls the operation of the elevator based on the received signal from thedifferential transformer 49. - In the elevator device as described above, the respective
opposed portions 33a of thescale fittings 33 which receive the load of the car 1 are individually inserted below therespective receiving fittings 30, and each pair of the shackle springs 34 are arranged between theopposed portions 33a and the receivingfittings 30. Accordingly, the respective shackle springs 34 can share and receive the load received by eachrope 2. Hence, the load received by each of the shackle springs 34 can be reduced, and miniaturization of each of the shackle springs 34 can be achieved. Further, theshackle 35 and the respective shackle springs 34 can be arrayed in the horizontal direction by each of thescale fittings 33. Accordingly, dimensional reduction of each of thecleat devices 4 in the height direction can be achieved, and dimensional reduction of the car 1 in the height direction can be achieved. Hence, reduction in the size of the hoistway can be achieved. - Further, the
upper frame 17 surrounds the outer circumference of the car room ceiling portion 9, and hence a position of a lower surface of theupper frame 17 can be placed lower than a position of the upper surface of the car room ceiling portion 9. Hence, the dimensional reduction of the car 1 in the height direction can be further achieved. - Further, when the
car room 5 is viewed along the up and down direction, the car room ceiling portion 9 is made smaller than the carroom body portion 8, and is arranged in the inside of the carroom body portion 8. Accordingly, a dimension of theupper frame 17 in the horizontal direction can be reduced. In such a way, reduction of the dimension of the car 1 in the horizontal direction can be achieved. - Further, on the car
room body portion 8, thecar entrance 10 opened and closed by thecar doors 12 is provided, and a part of theupper frame 17 is formed into the door case that supports thecar doors 12. Accordingly, theupper frame 17 can also serve as the door case, and the number of components can be reduced. In such a way, overall weight reduction of the car 1 can be achieved. - Further, the weighing
device 28 includes: thelink mechanism body 39 that operates in response to the displacement of thescale fittings 33 with respect to themount 3; and thedisplacement detection device 40 that generates the signal in response to the operation of thelink mechanism body 39, and accordingly, can arrange thedisplacement detection device 40 at a position apart from thescale fittings 33 by the transmission of the displacement of thelink mechanism body 39. Hence, thedisplacement detection device 40 can be arranged apart from thecleat devices 4 in the horizontal direction, and an installation space for thedisplacement detection device 40 can be easily ensured without increasing the dimension of the car 1 in the height direction. - Further, the
link mechanism body 39 includes: the first and secondadjusting link members respective scale fittings 33 with respect to the receiving fitting 30 and the relative displacement among therespective scale fittings 33; and the transmittinglink member 43 pivoted with respect to themount 3 in response to the displacement of the first and secondadjusting link members link member 43 to the first and secondadjusting link members linkmember 43 can be set at the amount corresponding to the average value of the displacement amounts of therespective scale fittings 33. In such a way, the average value of the displacement amounts of therespective scale fittings 33 with respect to themount 3 can be easily detected. - Further, the first and second
adjusting link members link member 43 are each formed into the plate-like member, and accordingly, the connection among therespective link members -
