Definitions

  • the invention relates to hoisting machines, and hoisting machine safety. Particularly, the invention relates to a safety controller for a hoisting machine.
  • Modern elevators are equipped with safety circuits.
  • the safety circuits supervise elevator car and hoistway safety through a plurality of sensors installed in the elevator car and the hoistway.
  • the sensors supervise, for example, elevator doors and a stop button.
  • the sensors supervise, for example, doors leading to the hoistway in each floor.
  • Sensors also supervise elevator car movement in the hoistway.
  • There may be limit detector sensors which detect when an elevator car has moved beyond a lower or a higher limit set for the normal movement of the elevator car. The limits may be exceeded, for example, in case of elevator car overloading. In the case of brake failure an elevator car may fall downwards with rapid acceleration, if the elevator car has a load, which together with the weight of the elevator car, exceeds the weight of the counterweight.
  • an overspeed governor which consists of an overspeed governor wheel and at least one governor rope hung over the governor wheel and connected to the elevator car on one end and to the counterweight on the other end.
  • the centrifugal force causes a mechanical device to stop the governor wheel rotation which causes a pull of the governor rope thereby engaging elevator car brakes.
  • the stopping of the governor wheel may also cause a braking of the traction sheave or traction means of the elevator car.
  • the overspeed governor may also be equipped with electronic or electrical sensors connected to the safety circuit.
  • hydraulic elevators where the elevator car is hoisted using a hydraulic cylinder mounted below the elevator car in the hoistway.
  • the hydraulic elevators may be used in cases where there is not enough room above the highest floor in the hoistway for an elevator engine room wherein a traction sheave and a traction motor are placed.
  • a hydraulic cylinder may also be used to raise a traction sheave connected to an elevator car.
  • the hydraulic elevators differ from traction lift elevators in the sense that the use of the hydraulic cylinder renders it impossible for the elevator car to move above a height in the hoistway.
  • the hydraulic cylinder cannot extend its maximum length.
  • Hydraulic elevators are equipped with pawl devices which prevent the elevator car from falling down in case hydraulic pressure is lost in the hydraulic cylinder. The pawl devices do not prevent the moving of the elevator car upwards.
  • the pawl devices may be installed on every floor.
  • the current safety circuits are designed to stop the elevator in error situations involving a fault indication from many different sensors such as the limit detectors or the overspeed governor. Depending on the severity of the fault indicator, for example, from the limit detectors or the overspeed governor it would be possible to recover from the error situation by moving the elevator car to a nearest floor.
