Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an elevator car door apparatus for elevators in which car sound insulation is sought such as very high-speed elevators that are installed in high-rise buildings, for example.
  • one method is to smooth air flow by making a shape of the cage a shape that has fewer irregularities, or by installing streamlined covers above and below the cage, for example.
  • adhesive members are disposed above and below a car doorway and above and below a door panel such that gaps around a car door are sealed by the adhesive members adhering to each other when the door panel is closed (see Patent Literature 1, for example).
  • a blocking apparatus that displaces vertically is disposed on a car door such that a gap between the car door and a car doorsill is sealed by the blocking apparatus when the car door is fully closed (see Patent Literature 2, for example).
  • a door rail that suspends the car door and a driving apparatus that opens and closes the car door are mounted to an upper portion of a car frame, and because the cage is supported on a lower portion of the car frame by means of a rubber vibration isolator, the cage may sink relative to the car frame by approximately 2 to 3 mm when a large number of passengers board the cage.
  • the gap between the car door and the car doorsill is thereby widened, and there is a risk that the sealing member that is disposed on the lower portion of the car door will not contact the car doorsill.
  • a blocking apparatus such as that shown in Patent Literature 2 is one solution, but the configuration is complicated, and increased weight of the car door is of concern. Furthermore, if the passengers happen to be trapped inside the cage by a power outage, etc., greater resistance occurs when opening the car door manually because a pressing force is generated toward the car doorsill by the blocking apparatus.
  • the present invention aims to solve the above problems and an object of the present invention is to provide an elevator car door apparatus that maintains high sound insulating performance against vertical displacement of a cage relative to a car frame and displacement of a car door panel in a depth direction using a simple construction, that can suppress increases in load on a door motor, and that can ensure that greater resistance does not occur when opening the car door manually.
  • an elevator car door apparatus including: a car door panel that opens and closes a car doorway; a car doorsill that is disposed on a lower portion of the car doorway, and that includes first and second doorsill grooves that are disposed parallel to an opening and closing direction of the car door panel; a door foot that is disposed on a lower portion of the car door panel, and that is inserted into the first doorsill groove; a first sealing member that is made of an elastic body that is disposed on a lower portion of the car door panel so as to contact a side surface of the first doorsill groove, and that is slid along the side surface of the first doorsill groove during opening and closing operations of the car door panel; and a second sealing member that is made of an elastic body that is disposed on a lower portion of the car door panel so as to contact a side surface of the second doorsill groove, and that is slid along the side surface of the second doorsill groove during the opening and closing operations of the car door panel
  • the second doorsill groove is disposed on the car doorsill in addition to the first doorsill groove into which the door foot is inserted, and the first sealing member that contacts the side surface of the first doorsill groove and the second sealing member that contacts the side surface of the second doorsill groove are disposed on the lower portion of the car door panel, vertical displacement of the cage relative to the car frame can be absorbed by vertical sliding movement of the first and second sealing members and displacement of the car door panel in a depth direction absorbed by elastic deformation of the first and second sealing members using a simple configuration, thereby enabling high sound insulating performance to be maintained.
  • first and second sealing members are slid along the side surfaces of the first and second doorsill grooves during the opening and closing operations of the car door panel, greater door closing force is not necessary, enabling increases in load on the door motor to be suppressed, and also preventing greater resistance from being generated when opening the car doors manually.
  • FIG. 1 is a front elevation that shows an elevator car door apparatus according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention.
  • a car doorway 1 a is disposed on a front surface of a car 1 (indicated by double-dotted chain lines).
  • the car doorway 1 a is opened and closed by a pair of car doors 2.
  • Each of the car doors 2 has: a car door panel 3; and a door hanger 4 that is connected to an upper portion of the car door panel 3.
  • a pair of hanger rollers 5 is disposed on each of the door hangers 4.
  • a door rail 6 is fixed to an upper portion of the car doorway 1a of the car 1.
  • the door panels 3 are suspended from the door rail 6 by means of the door hangers 4.
  • the hanger rollers 5 are rolled along the door rail 6.
  • a door motor 7 that opens and closes the car doors 2 is mounted onto an upper portion of the car 1.
  • a driving force from the door motor 7 is transmitted to the car door panels 3 by means of a speed reducing mechanism 8 and a linking mechanism 9.
  • the left and right car doors 2 are operated by the linking mechanism 9 so as to open and close interdependently simultaneously in opposite directions.
  • Landing doors (not shown) are also operated so as to open and close together with the car doors 2 by engaging with the car doors 2.
  • a car doorsill 10 that guides movement of lower end portions of the car door panels 3 during the opening and closing operations of the car doors 2 is fixed to a lower portion (a floor portion) of the car doorway 1 a.
  • Figure 2 is a cross section that is taken along line II - II in Figure 1 , and shows a longitudinal cross section of a lower end portion of a car door panel 3.
  • the right side of the car door panel 3 is a cage side
  • the left side is a landing side.
  • First and second doorsill grooves 11 and 12 that are disposed parallel to the opening and closing direction of the car door panel 3 are disposed on the car doorsill 10 so as to be spaced apart from each other.
  • the second doorsill groove 12 is disposed on the landing side of the first doorsill groove 11.
  • the first doorsill groove 11 has a first cage-side side surface 11 a, a first landing-side side surface 11 b, and a first bottom surface 11 c.
  • the second doorsill groove 12 has a second cage-side side surface 12a, a second landing-side side surface 12b, and a second bottom surface 12c.
  • a depth of the second doorsill groove 12 is similar or identical to a depth of the first doorsill groove 11.
  • the first and second doorsill grooves 11 and 12 are disposed directly below the car door panel 3 within a thickness region of the car door panel 3.
  • a plurality of sound absorbing members 13a through 13d are fixed inside the car door panel 3.
  • a lower portion reinforcing member 14 is fixed to a lower portion of the car door panel 3.
  • the lower portion reinforcing member 14 is disposed over an entire width (a lateral direction in Figure 1 ) of the car door panel 3.
  • the lower portion reinforcing member 14 has: a joining portion 14a that is glued or welded onto a rear surface of the car door panel 3; and a foot mount portion 14b that faces the rear surface of the lower end portion of the car door panel 3.
  • the joining portion 14a and the foot mount portion 14b are formed by bending a flat plate.
  • a plurality of door feet 15 are held on the foot mount portion 14b by screws so as to be spaced apart from each other in a width direction of the car door panel 3.
