Description

  The present invention relates to a vertical vibration suppressing device for an elevator car that suppresses vertical vibration generated in a car.

  In general, an elevator frictionally drives a main rope via a hoisting machine sheave by the power of a hoisting machine motor, and raises and lowers a car and a counterweight suspended from the main rope. Therefore, if there is eccentricity or unbalance in the hoisting sheave or the turning pulley around which the main rope is wound, vibration with a frequency synchronized with the rotational motion is generated as a disturbance. On the other hand, since the main rope of the elevator is an elastic body, a vibration system having a specific natural frequency is formed when a heavy object such as a car is suspended on the elevator rope. When these two frequencies become close to each other, they resonate and longitudinal vibrations are generated in the car, causing the ride quality of the elevator to be remarkably deteriorated.

  Conventional techniques to prevent this problem include methods that increase the sheave machining accuracy and mounting accuracy, and a dynamic vibration absorber that is tuned to the resonance frequency of the vibration system. There is a technique.

In addition, the elevator car is lifted and lowered by a plurality of hoisting machines, thereby reducing the vibration of the motor and further reducing the tension of the main rope to one of the hoisting machines. A method of adjusting by controlling the motor of the machine has been proposed (see, for example, Patent Document 1).
JP-A-10-77171

  In order to prevent the problem of vertical vibration of the elevator car mentioned above, if the conventional technique of improving the sheave processing accuracy and mounting accuracy is taken, it will cause a heavy burden on the production or installation work. This could lead to cost increases.

  In addition, if a dynamic vibration absorber tuned to the resonance frequency of the vibration system is attached to the car and the method of canceling the vertical vibration of the car is used, it may lead to an increase in the car weight and associated cost. was there.

  Furthermore, in the case of using the method of Patent Document 1, not only is there a disadvantage in terms of power when the loaded load increases, but also when the sheave has eccentricity or imbalance, the vibration is canceled out. If an attempt was made to increase the accuracy in order to generate an appropriate tension by controlling the motor of the hoisting machine, the control system could be complicated and cost increased.

  An object of the present invention is to provide a longitudinal vibration suppressing device for an elevator car that does not complicate the installation work, suppresses an increase in cost, and has low vibration and good riding comfort.

  In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention provides an elevator in which a main rope is frictionally driven by a power of a hoisting machine motor via a hoisting machine sheave, and a car and a counterweight suspended from the main rope are lifted and lowered. In the longitudinal vibration suppression device for a car, an auxiliary sheave that frictionally drives the main rope by an auxiliary motor is provided in the vicinity of the hoisting machine sheave.

  In the present invention configured as described above, the auxiliary sheave is attached in the vicinity of the hoisting machine sheave, and the auxiliary sheave is forcibly driven by the driving force from which the frequency component of the disturbance is removed, so that the ride car and the main rope The conduction of the disturbance to the vibration system having a specific natural frequency formed from the above can be cut off.

  According to the present invention, the auxiliary sheave is attached in the vicinity of the hoisting machine sheave, and the auxiliary sheave is forcibly driven by the driving force from which the frequency component of the disturbance is removed, thereby forming the car sheave and the main rope. Therefore, it is possible to block the conduction of the disturbance to the vibration system having a specific natural frequency, and to provide an elevator with less vibration and good ride comfort.

  Hereinafter, an embodiment of an elevator car longitudinal vibration suppressing device according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 1 is an overall configuration diagram of an elevator car longitudinal vibration suppressing device according to an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a block diagram for explaining a speed control system of an auxiliary sheave according to the present invention, and FIG. FIG. 4 is an enlarged view showing an example in which the auxiliary sheave is provided only on the car side, and FIG. 5 shows an example in which the auxiliary sheave is provided inside the main rope. FIG. 6 is an enlarged view showing an attached state of the auxiliary sheave when the hoisting machine sheave is provided above, and FIG. 7 is an enlarged view showing an example in which the auxiliary sheave is provided in the vicinity of the turning pulley.

In FIG. 1, a car 1 frictionally drives a main rope 3 via a hoisting machine sheave 5 by the power of a hoisting machine motor 4, and is lifted and lowered. On the other hand, the counterweight 2 is suspended from the main rope 3 and lifts and lowers on the opposite side of the car 1 with the hoisting machine sheave 5 as a reference. Here, in the vicinity of the hoisting machine sheave 5, an auxiliary sheave 10 fastened to the shaft of the auxiliary motor 9 is provided so as to press against the car 1 side and the counterweight 2 side of the main rope. Moreover, a generally known speed detector (not shown) is attached to the auxiliary motor 9 so that the rotational speed ω of the auxiliary sheave 10 can be detected. Reference numeral 12 denotes a speed controller. In this speed controller 12, for example, the block diagram of FIG. 2 shows the difference from the speed command signal ω _r to the hoisting motor 4 in the microcomputer in the elevator control panel. The feedback control is performed by multiplying the proportional gain Κ _P , integral gain _{Ｉ I} , and differential gain _D as shown in FIG. 6, the signal is amplified by the auxiliary motor driving amplifier 13, and the auxiliary motor is driven by the driving force u. 9 is driven. Reference numeral 6 denotes a turning pulley, 7 denotes a car mounting pulley, and 8 denotes a suspension weight mounting pulley.

Reference numeral 11 denotes a notch filter. The notch filter 11 is provided for the following reason. That is, if there is an unintentional eccentricity or imbalance in the hoist sheave 5, the rotational speed signal detected by the speed detector includes a frequency component synchronized with the sheave rotational speed ω. End up. For this reason, if feedback control is performed using this as it is, vibration of the car 1 may be further promoted. Therefore, the input and output ends of the speed controller 12 (as long resulting effect may be on only one side), by sharply lowering the gain at the frequency component f ₀ synchronized with the rotation speed of the hoisting sheave 5, the frequency component Is provided with a notch filter 11 that gives a large attenuation. The notch filter 11 has a frequency characteristic as shown in FIG. The notch filter 11 may be configured by hardware or software.

That is, by inserting such a notch filter 11 into the speed control system of the auxiliary sheave, a speed control system of the auxiliary sheave 10 that is not affected by the disturbance of the specific frequency caused by the rotation of the hoisting machine sheave 5 is obtained. The auxiliary sheave 10 is forcibly driven to block the disturbance caused by the hoisting machine sheave 5 from being transmitted from the hoisting machine sheave 5 to the car 1 and main rope 3 system. Here, in order to ensure a greater vibration suppressing effect and higher accuracy and sufficient stability of the speed control system of the auxiliary sheave 10, the above-described closed loop system including the transfer characteristic of the notch filter is stabilized. the control gain Κ _P, Κ _I, may be determined the kappa _D. By doing so, it is possible to prevent the influence of the phase shift due to the insertion of the notch filter 11.

  Further, in the case of the structure in which the auxiliary sheave 10 is pressed against the main rope 3 from the outside as in these examples, as a secondary effect, the traction capability in the hoisting machine sheave 5 can be improved by increasing the winding angle. it can.

  Moreover, as shown in FIG. 5, even if the auxiliary sheave 10 is provided from the inside, the effect of suppressing the conduction of disturbance to the car / main rope system can be provided.
