JP-A-11-209018 (Summary, FIG. 2)

  In the conventional seismic isolation building elevator device, the guide rail for the car and the guide rail for the counterweight are fixedly fastened to the rail holding frame, respectively, and the car guide rail fastening portion and the lower rail of the upper rail holding frame A diagonal head is provided between the end of the holding frame on the side opposite to the guide rail for the car cage. As a result, a highly rigid frame structure is constituted by the upper and lower rail holding frames and the car guide rails.

  Therefore, at the time of an earthquake, the relative displacement in the horizontal direction between the base building and the base-isolated building caused by the earthquake and the inclination angle at the location corresponding to the base-isolating device such as the guide rail for the car are determined by the mutual distance between the upper and lower rail holding frames. . And at the time of an earthquake, a rail holding frame inclines with respect to a horizontal surface like a guide rail for cars, etc., and is displaced up and down.

  For this reason, it is necessary to make the movable boarding passage provided between the building-side landing and the hoistway-side landing device have a structure that can handle the vertical displacement of the rail holding frame, which complicates the structure and increases manufacturing costs. There was a problem. Further, since the rail holding frame is displaced up and down during an earthquake, an excessive load acts on the rail holding frame, the car guide rail and the like, and since a moment is generated, it is necessary to strengthen members such as the rail holding frame.

  The present invention has been made to solve such problems, and a rail holding frame holding a car guide rail or the like is arranged at a position corresponding to a building-side landing and held in a horizontal posture regardless of the presence or absence of an earthquake. The purpose is to obtain an elevator device for seismically isolated buildings.

  In the elevator apparatus for a base-isolated building according to the present invention, the base-isolated building body and the base building body, which are supported on the base building body via the base-isolating device and are relatively displaced in the horizontal direction with respect to the base building body during an earthquake. Elevator hoistways installed in each of the seismic isolation buildings and arranged in parallel with each other, and installed in parallel with the hoistway away from each other to guide the elevator car ascending and descending. The guide rails for the car that are elastically deformed and inclined at the device-corresponding location and the elevator shaft that is installed in parallel and away from the hoistway to guide the lift of the counterweight, and elastically deform at the seismic isolation device-corresponding location in the event of an earthquake The counterweight-inclined counterweight guide rail and a building that is in the shape of a square on the horizontal projection plane, is provided at the location corresponding to the seismic isolation device, and is provided on the hoistway at a position close to the seismic isolation device Rail holding frames that are respectively arranged at positions opposite to the floor and the ceiling of the landing and that are engaged inside, hold the guide rails for the counterweights and the counterweights at predetermined positions in the horizontal direction, and the rail holding frames Provided between both of the hoistway side landing device provided between each other and facing the building side landing, the guide rail body forming the guide rail for the car and the guide rail for the counterweight, and the rail holding frame. A first pivot axis that is perpendicular to the back surface of the guide rail body and horizontally disposed, and a second pivot axis that is perpendicular to the length of the guide rail body and horizontally disposed along the width direction of the back surface. A universal joint mechanism is provided, one side of which is attached to one of the two and the other side is attached to the other of the two.

  In the elevator apparatus for a seismic isolation building according to the present invention, the seismic isolation building swings with respect to the base building by the function of the seismic isolation device when an earthquake occurs, and is relatively displaced in the horizontal direction. At this time, the guide rail for the car and the guide rail for the counterweight are swung and elastically deformed and inclined, but the guide rail bodies such as the guide rail for the car are engaged with the rail holding frames via the universal joint mechanism. Has been. Thereby, the rail holding frame is displaced in the horizontal direction while maintaining the horizontal posture. Therefore, the rail holding frame does not incline with respect to the horizontal plane at the time of an earthquake, and is not displaced in the vertical direction.

  For this reason, it is not necessary for the movable boarding passage provided between the building side landing and the hoistway side landing device to have a structure corresponding to the vertical displacement of the rail holding frame, and the structure can be simplified and the manufacturing cost can be reduced. There is a reduction effect. In addition, since the rail holding frame does not move up and down during an earthquake, excessive loads and moments are not generated on the rail holding frame and the car guide rail. As a result, the rail holding frame or the like can be manufactured from a light and thin material, and the manufacturing cost can be reduced.
