Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an elevator speed governor that has a speed governor sheave that is rotated together with movement of a car.
  • elevator speed governors have been proposed in which mechanical power transmission between two speed controlling mechanisms is connected and released by a clutching apparatus.
  • the set overspeed of a first speed controlling mechanism is higher than the set overspeed of a second speed controlling mechanism.
  • the second speed controlling mechanism is disconnected from the first speed controlling mechanism by the clutching apparatus, and only the first speed controlling mechanism that has the higher set overspeed functions.
  • the speed controlling mechanisms are connected to each other by means of the clutching apparatus, and both of the speed controlling mechanisms function.
  • the set overspeed of the speed governing apparatus is lower during descent of the car than during ascent (see Patent Literature 1).
  • Progressive safety apparatuses are also conventionally known in which a guiding bolt is moved by a spring force from a compression spring by removing a stopper from the guiding bolt by controlling power supply to an electromagnetic actuator to press a brake shoe against a guide rail to generate a braking force (see Patent Literature 2).
  • elevator speed governors are also conventionally known in which permanent magnets, a direct-current generator that generates electric power that corresponds to a direction of rotation of a sheave, and an electromagnet in which magnetic poles change in response to the electric power from the direct-current generator are disposed on the sheave, and a preset overspeed is made greater during ascent of a car than during descent by attracting the electromagnet to the permanent magnet during reverse rotation of the sheave to restrict pivoting of the flyweight, and repelling the electromagnet from the permanent magnet during forward rotation of the sheave to release the restriction on the pivoting of the flyweight (see Patent Literature 3).
  • the present invention aims to solve the above problems and an object of the present invention is to provide an elevator speed governor that can suppress enlargement, and that can operate more reliably.
  • an elevator speed governor including: a supporting body on which a main shaft is disposed; a speed governor sheave around which is wound a speed governor rope that is moved together with a car, the speed governor sheave being rotated around the main shaft in response to the movement of the car; a flyweight that is disposed on the speed governor sheave, and that is pivoted relative to the speed governor sheave in response to a centrifugal force that arises due to the rotation of the speed governor sheave; an activating segment that is disposed on the flyweight, and that is displaced relative to the speed governor sheave outward in a radial direction of the speed governor sheave by the pivoting of the flyweight in a direction in which a rotational speed of the speed governor sheave increases; an engaging pawl that is disposed on the flyweight, and that is displaced inward in the radial direction of the speed governor sheave by pivoting of the flyweight in the direction
  • an elevator speed governor because torque in a like direction to the speed governor sheave is applied to the rotating body by the torque transmitting apparatus, and the overspeed detecting switch operates interdependently with the rotating body through the first interlocking apparatus, and the ratchet is displaced by the second interlocking apparatus in the axial direction of the main shaft interdependently with the rotating body, it is not necessary to install a plurality of speed governors, enabling overall enlargement of the speed governor to be suppressed. Furthermore, different overspeeds can be detected when the direction of movement of the car is upward from when it is downward without having to use an electrical speed detecting sensor. In addition, the speed governor can be activated without having to supply electric power to the speed governor. Consequently, operation of the speed governor can be prevented from becoming impossible due to the power outages or wire breakages, for example, and the speed governor can thereby be operated more reliably.

  • a first end portion of the first flyweight 19 and a second end portion of the second flyweight 19 are linked to each other by means of a link 20, as shown in Figure 2 .
  • a balancing spring 21 that opposes the centrifugal force is disposed between the second end portion of the first flyweight 19 and a boss portion of the speed governor sheave 17.

  • the power supply to the hoisting machine 4 is stopped, activating the braking apparatus of the hoisting machine 4.
  • the engaging pawl 31 engages in the outer circumferential portion of the ratchet 32, as shown in Figure 10 .
  • the ratchet 32 is thereby rotated in a like direction to the speed governor sheave 17, disengaging the supporting lever 39 from the holding pin 40.
  • the brake shoe 37 is thereby displaced by deadweight from the open position that is shown in Figure 11 to the gripping position that is shown in Figure 12 .
  • the speed governor rope 13 is thereby gripped between the pressing plate 34 and the brake shoe 37, stopping the movement of the speed governor rope 13.
  • the switch mounting member 23 is pivoted around the pin 24 in a direction in which the overspeed detecting switch 25 is moved away from the main shaft 16 while being pushed by the first linking member 49, and contacts the second stopper 30.
  • the linking pin 47 thereby reaches the second boundary position, and the rotation of the rotating body 42 in the forward direction stops.
  • the overspeed detecting switch 25 also reaches the high overspeed setting position.
  • the position of the overspeed detecting switch 25 is set to the high overspeed setting position, and the position of the ratchet 32 is set to the unengageable position.
  • the operating lever 27 When the position of the overspeed detecting switch 25 is set to the high overspeed setting position, the operating lever 27 is operated by the activating segment 22 when it is moved in orbit B.
  • the activating segment 22 moves in orbit B when the speed of the car 2 reaches the second overspeed V2 that is higher than the first overspeed V1. Consequently, when the car 2 ascends, the operating lever 27 is operated by the activating segment 22 if the speed of the car 2 reaches the second overspeed V2.
  • the power supply to the hoisting machine 4 is stopped, activating the braking apparatus of the hoisting machine 4.
  • the speed governor 11 can be activated without having to supply electric power to the speed governor 11. Consequently, operation of the speed governor 11 can be prevented from becoming impossible due to the power outages or wire breakages, for example. The speed governor 11 can thereby be operated more reliably.
  • the torque transmitting apparatus 43 has: permanent magnets 45 that are rotated together with the speed governor sheave 17; and a metal body 46 that faces the permanent magnets 45 so as to have a predetermined clearance interposed, and that is rotated together with the rotating body 42, torque can be applied to the rotating body 42 in a like direction to the speed governor sheave 17 using a simple configuration. Size reductions can be thereby achieved in the speed governor 11.
  • the overspeed detecting switch 25 is displaced in a direction in which its distance from the main shaft 16 changes, but the overspeed detecting switch 25 may also be displaced in an axial direction of the main shaft 16.
  • Figure 16 is a top plan that shows a state in which an overspeed detecting switch of an elevator speed governor according to Embodiment 2 of the present invention is set to a low overspeed setting position (a first setting position).
  • Figure 17 is a top plan that shows a state in which the overspeed detecting switch of the elevator speed governor from Figure 16 is set to a high overspeed setting position (a second setting position).
  • a switch mounting member (not shown) onto which the overspeed detecting switch 25 is mounted is pivotable around a pin that has a shaft axis that is perpendicular to the shaft axis of the main shaft 16. Consequently, the overspeed detecting switch 25 is displaced in the axial direction of the main shaft 16 by the switch mounting member being pivoted relative to the housing 15.
  • the range over which the overspeed detecting switch 25 is displaced is limited to a range between a predetermined low overspeed setting position ( Figure 16 ) and a high overspeed setting position ( Figure 17 ) that is further away from the speed governor sheave 17 in the axial direction of the main shaft 16 than the low overspeed setting position by restricting pivoting of the switch mounting member using a restricting apparatus that is similar or identical to that of Embodiment 1.
  • the switch mounting member and the rotating body 42 are configured so as to operate interdependently by means of a first interlocking apparatus that includes a plurality of linking members.
  • the overspeed detecting switch 25 is thereby displaced between the low overspeed setting position and the high overspeed setting position in response to the direction of rotation of the rotating body 42. Specifically, the overspeed detecting switch 25 is displaced to the high overspeed setting position when the direction of rotation of the rotating body 42 is the forward direction (i.e., when the car 2 moves upward), and is displaced to the low overspeed setting position when the direction of rotation of the rotating body 42 is the reverse direction (i.e., when the car 2 moves downward).
  • the overspeed detecting switch 25 has: a switch main body 26 that is fixed to the switch mounting member; and an operating lever 27 that protrudes outward from the switch main body 26.
  • the operating lever 27 has: a lever main body 27a that is parallel to a side surface of the speed governor sheave 17; and a first protruding segment 27b and a second protruding segment 27c that each protrude outward from the lever main body 27a toward the speed governor sheave 17.
  • the first protruding segment 27b is disposed level with orbit A in the radial direction of the speed governor sheave 17.
  • the second protruding segment 27c is disposed in the radial direction of the speed governor sheave 17 level with orbit B. Consequently, the first protruding segment 27b is disposed in a position that is closer to the main shaft 16 than the second protruding segment 27c.
  • a length of the first protruding segment 27b (specifically, a dimension in the axial direction of the main shaft 16) is shorter than a length of the second protruding segment 27c.
  • the activating segment 22 passes through a predetermined plane (an activating segment displacement plane) that is perpendicular to the shaft axis of the main shaft 16 due to the pivoting of the flyweights 19.
  • a predetermined plane an activating segment displacement plane
  • the pathway through which the activating segment 22 is displaced relative to the speed governor sheave 17 is contained in the predetermined plane that is perpendicular to the shaft axis of the main shaft 16.
  • the overspeed detecting switch 25 When the overspeed detecting switch 25 is set to the low overspeed setting position, the first protruding segment 27b and the second protruding segment 27c both intersect the predetermined plane that contains the pathway of the activating segment 22, as shown in Figure 16 . Consequently, if the overspeed detecting switch 25 is set to the low overspeed setting position, when the speed of the car 2 is at the first overspeed V1 and the activating segment 22 reaches orbit A, the activating segment 22 contacts the first protruding segment 27b and the operating lever 27 is operated.
  • the overspeed detecting switch 25 When the overspeed detecting switch 25 is set to the high overspeed setting position, the first protruding segment 27b is outside the predetermined plane that contains the pathway of the activating segment 22, and only the second protruding segment 27c intersects the predetermined plane, as shown in Figure 13 . Consequently, if the overspeed detecting switch 25 is set to the high overspeed setting position, even if the speed of the car 2 is at the first overspeed V1 and the activating segment 22 reaches orbit A, the activating segment 22 will not contact the first protruding segment 27b and the operating lever 27 is not operated.
  • overspeed detecting switch 25 is set to the high overspeed setting position, when the speed of the car 2 is at the second overspeed V2 that is higher than the first overspeed V1 and the activating segment 22 reaches orbit B, the activating segment 22 contacts the second protruding segment 27c and the operating lever 27 is operated.
  • the rest of the configuration is similar or identical to that of Embodiment 1.
  • the speed of the car 2 when the overspeed detecting switch 25 is operated by the activating segment 22 can be switched in response to the direction of rotation of the speed governor sheave 17 between the first overspeed V1 and the second overspeed V2.
  • the permanent magnets 45 are fixed to a fixed portion 44 of the speed governor sheave 17, and the metal body 46 is fixed to the rotating body 42, but the metal body 46 may also be fixed to the fixed portion 44 of the speed governor sheave 17, the permanent magnets 45 fixed to the rotating body 42, the metal body 46 rotated together with the speed governor sheave 17, and the permanent magnets 45 rotated together with the rotating body 42.
  • the permanent magnets 45 and the metal body 46 face each other in the radial direction of the speed governor sheave 17 so as to have a predetermined clearance interposed, but the permanent magnets 45 and the metal body 46 may also face each other in the axial direction of the main shaft 16 so as to have a predetermined clearance interposed.
  • the permanent magnets 45 move relative to the metal body 46 due to the rotation of the speed governor sheave 17
  • eddy currents can also be generated on the surface of the metal body 46. Consequently, torque in a like direction to the speed governor sheave 17 can be applied to the rotating body 42 due to the principle of Arago's disk.
  • the torque transmitting apparatus 43 has permanent magnets 45 and a metal body 46, and applies torque to the rotating body 42 in a like direction to the speed governor sheave 17 using the principle of Arago's disk, but is not limited thereto provided that it is an apparatus that imparts torque to the rotating body 42 in a like direction to the speed governor sheave 17 while rotating separately from the speed governor sheave 17.
