Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an elevator emergency stopping apparatus for emergency stopping a hoisted body (a car or a counterweight, for example).
  • an elevator emergency stopping apparatus is configured by mounting two small-mass emergency stopping apparatuses to a car so as to be linked vertically in order to achieve improvements in operational reliability.
  • Each of the small-mass emergency stopping apparatuses has: a pair of left and right supports that are disposed on two sides of a guide rail; and a pair of wedge members that are disposed between the respective supports and the guide rail.
  • a braking force is applied to the car by the respective wedge members wedging between the supports and the guide rail (see Patent Literature 1).
  • the present invention aims to solve the above problems and an object of the present invention is to provide an elevator emergency stopping apparatus that enables improvements in operational reliability.
  • an elevator emergency stopping apparatus that is disposed on a hoisted body that is guided by a guide rail, for applying a braking force to the hoisted body
  • the elevator emergency stopping apparatus including: a first emergency stopping mechanism portion that includes a first braking body that can contact with and separate from the guide rail, and that applies a braking force to the hoisted body by placing the first braking body in contact with the guide rail; and a second emergency stopping mechanism portion that includes a second braking body that can contact with and separate from the guide rail, that is disposed below the first emergency stopping mechanism portion, and that applies a braking force to the hoisted body by placing the second braking body in contact with the guide rail
  • the elevator emergency stopping apparatus being characterized in that a contacting position of the first braking body on the guide rail and a contacting position of the second braking body on the guide rail are offset from each other in a horizontal direction.
  • the first braking body on the guide rail and the contacting position of the second braking body on the guide rail are offset from each other in a horizontal direction, the first braking body can be slid on the guide rail so as to avoid the sliding surface of the second braking body on the guide rail.
  • the first braking body can thereby be prevented from sliding over a sliding surface in which temperature is high due to the sliding movement of the second braking body, enabling reductions in the coefficient of friction of the first braking body on the guide rail to be suppressed. Consequently, not only the braking force from the second emergency stopping mechanism portion but also the braking force from the first emergency stopping mechanism portion can be generated reliably. Because of this, improvements in operational reliability of the emergency stopping apparatus can be achieved.
  • FIG. 1 is a configuration diagram that shows an elevator car according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention.

  • An operating lever 6 is disposed on the emergency stopping apparatus 5.
  • the emergency stopping apparatus 5 grips the car guide rail 1 by operation of the operating lever 6. Falling of the car 2 is prevented by gripping of the car guide rail 1 by the emergency stopping apparatus 5.
  • a speed governor rope 7 is connected to the operating lever 6.
  • the speed governor rope 7 is wound around a speed governor sheave (not shown) of a speed governor that is installed in an upper portion of the hoistway.
  • a speed governor sheave (not shown) of a speed governor that is installed in an upper portion of the hoistway.
  • the speed governor grips the speed governor rope if rotational speed of the speed governor sheave becomes excessive.
  • the operating lever 6 is operated by the speed governor rope 7 being gripped by the speed governor, and the car 2 being displaced relative to the speed governor rope 7.
  • the emergency stopping apparatus 5 has: an upper emergency stopping mechanism portion (a first emergency stopping mechanism portion) 8; a lower emergency stopping mechanism portion (a second emergency stopping mechanism portion) 9 that is disposed below the upper emergency stopping mechanism portion 8; and an emergency stopper mounting frame 10 that is fixed to the car frame 4, and that supports the upper emergency stopping mechanism portion 8 and the lower emergency stopping mechanism portion 9.

  • the upper guiding portions 13 face each other so as to have the car guide rail 1 interposed. Distances between the upper guiding portions 13 and the car guide rail 1 are reduced continuously from lower portions of the upper guiding portions 13 toward the upper portions.
  • the upper wedges 12 are respectively disposed between each of the upper guiding portions 13 and the car guide rail 1.

  • the lower guiding portions 17 face each other so as to have the car guide rail 1 interposed. Distances between the lower guiding portions 17 and the car guide rail 1 are reduced continuously from lower portions of the lower guiding portions 17 toward the upper portions.
  • the lower wedges 16 are respectively disposed between each of the lower guiding portions 17 and the car guide rail 1.

  • the car guide rail 1 that is disposed between each of the upper guiding portions 13 and between each of the lower guiding portions 17 is a shared guide rail. Consequently, the respective upper wedges 12 and the respective lower wedges 16 are able to contact with and separate from the shared car guide rail 1.
  • the operating lever 6 is fixed to the upper pivoting shaft 11. Consequently, the upper pivoting shaft 11 is pivoted in response to the operation of the operating lever 6.
  • a linking apparatus 19 that interlocks the upper pivoting shaft 11 and the lower pivoting shaft 15 with each other is disposed between the upper pivoting shaft 11 and the lower pivoting shaft 15.
  • the lower pivoting shaft 15 is pivoted at an identical pivoting angle to the upper pivoting shaft 11 by being operated interdependently with the upper pivoting shaft 11 by the linking apparatus 19. Consequently, the upper wedges 12 and the lower wedges 16 are configured so as to contact the car guide rail 1 simultaneously.
  • the upper emergency stopping mechanism portion 8 and the lower emergency stopping mechanism portion 9 grip the shared car guide rail 1 simultaneously due to the operating lever 6 being operated, and apply braking forces to the car 2 simultaneously.

  • respective positions of the wedge main body 20 and the wedge main body 22 are identical in the horizontal direction.
  • Figure 4 is a front elevation that shows sliding trails that arise on the car guide rail 1 due to contact of the upper wedge 12 and the lower wedge 16 from Figure 3 on the car guide rail 1.
  • the upper wedges 12 and the lower wedges 16 contact to the car guide rail 1 when the car 2 is moving, the upper wedges 12 and the lower wedges 16 slide along the car guide rail 1 due to inertial force from the car 2.
  • An upper sliding trail 24 due to the sliding movement of the upper wedges 12 and a lower sliding trail 25 due to the sliding movement of the lower wedges 16 are thereby formed on the car guide rail 1.
  • the upper sliding trail 24 and the lower sliding trail 25 are formed at positions that are offset from each other on the car guide rail 1, and do not overlap with each other.

  • an elevator emergency stopping apparatus 5 of this kind because the contacting positions of the upper wedges 12 on the car guide rail 1 and the contacting positions of the lower wedges 16 on the car guide rail 1 are offset from each other in a horizontal direction, the upper wedges 12 can be slid on the car guide rail 1 so as to avoid the sliding surfaces of the lower wedges 16 on the car guide rail 1.
  • the upper wedges 12 can thereby be prevented from sliding over sliding surfaces in which temperature is high due to the sliding movement of the lower wedges 16, enabling reductions in the coefficient of friction of the upper wedges 12 on the car guide rail 1 to be suppressed.
  • the upper wedges 12 can be made more likely to wedge between the upper guiding portions 13 and the car guide rail 1, enabling not only the braking force from the lower emergency stopping mechanism portion 9 but also the braking force from the upper emergency stopping mechanism portion 8 to be generated reliably. Because of this, improvements in operational reliability of the emergency stopping apparatus 5 can be achieved. Because reductions in the coefficient of friction of not only the lower wedges 16 but also the upper wedges 12 on the car guide rail 1 can be suppressed, the pressing force when the upper wedges 12 and the lower wedges 16 are made to contact the car guide rail 1 can be reduced. Consequently, size reductions, weight reductions, and cost reductions for the emergency stopping apparatus 5 can also be achieved.
  • the upper wedges 12 and the lower wedges 16 have ceramic friction pads 21 and 23 that contact with and separate from the car guide rail 1, the occurrence of plastic deformation or fusion of, or damage to, the upper wedges 12 and the lower wedges 16 during sliding movement on the car guide rail 1 can be prevented.
  • improvements in operational reliability of the emergency stopping apparatus 5 are further enabled. Increases in elevator speed can also be achieved, further enabling size reductions in the emergency stopping apparatus 5.
  • the shape of the friction pads 21 and 23 is cylindrical, but is not limited thereto, and the shape of the friction pads 21 and 23 may also be parallelepipedal, or cubic, for example.
  • the upper wedges 12 have ceramic friction pads 21, but the friction pads 21 do not need to be ceramic.
  • the friction pads 21 may also be made of cast iron like the wedge main bodies 20, and the wedge main bodies 20 and the friction pads 21 may be formed integrally.
  • the lower wedges 16 have ceramic friction pads 23, but the friction pads 23 do not need to be ceramic.
  • the friction pads 23 may also be made of cast iron like the wedge main bodies 22, and the wedge main bodies 22 and the friction pads 23 may be formed integrally.
  • pluralities of friction pads 21 and 23 are disposed on the wedge main bodies 20 and 22, but the numbers of friction pads 21 and 23 that are disposed on the wedge main bodies 20 and 22 does not need to be plural. In that case, the sizes of the friction pads are adjusted to sizes at which contact area on the car guide rail 1 is ensured to be a predetermined value.
  • the wedge main bodies 20 of the upper wedges 12 and the wedge main bodies 22 of the lower wedges 16 are disposed at identical positions in a horizontal direction, but the wedge main bodies 20 and the wedge main bodies 22 may also be disposed so as to be offset from each other in the horizontal direction.
  • the friction pads 21 may also be disposed on an entire region of the rail-facing surface 20b of the wedge main bodies 20, and the friction pads 23 disposed on an entire region of the rail-facing surface 22b of the wedge main bodies 22.
  • the number of layers in the emergency stopping mechanism portion is two layers, i.e., the upper emergency stopping mechanism portion 8 and the lower emergency stopping mechanism portion 9, but the number of layers in the emergency stopping mechanism portion may also be greater than or equal to three layers.
  • the emergency stopping apparatus 5 is disposed on the car 2, but the emergency stopping apparatus 5 may also be disposed on the counterweight. In that case, a braking force is applied to the counterweight by the emergency stopping apparatus 5 gripping a counterweight guide rail.
