Embodiment 1 FIG.
1 is a plan view showing a schematic layout of an elevator apparatus (machine room-less elevator) according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. In the figure, first and second car guide rails 1 and 2 and first and second counterweight guide rails 3 and 4 are installed in the hoistway. The car 5 is raised and lowered in the hoistway by being guided by the car guide rails 1 and 2. The counterweight 6 is moved up and down in the hoistway by being guided by the counterweight guide rails 3 and 4.

  The car 5 has a front surface 5a having a car doorway, a back surface 5b facing the front surface 5a, and first and second side surfaces 5c and 5d facing each other. The first car guide rail 1 faces the first side surface 5c. The second car guide rail 2 faces the second side surface 5d. Further, the first and second car guide rails 1 and 2 are arranged to face each other at the same position in the depth direction of the car 5.

  The counterweight 6 is arranged behind the car 5 so as to face the back surface 5b of the car 5 when positioned at the same height as the car 5 (back fall type). The counterweight guide rails 3 and 4 are disposed on both sides of the counterweight 6 in the width direction so as to face each other.

  A pair of car suspension wheels 7 and 8 are mounted on the lower part of the car 5. On the upper part of the counterweight 6, a counterweight suspension vehicle 9 is mounted. The suspension wheels 7 to 9 are arranged so that their rotation axes are parallel to the depth direction of the car 5.

  A hoisting machine 10 that raises and lowers the car 5 and the counterweight 6 is installed in the lower part of the hoistway. The hoisting machine 10 includes a hoisting machine main body 11 having a motor and a brake, and a drive sheave 12 rotated by the hoisting machine main body 11. As the hoisting machine 10, a thin hoisting machine in which the dimension in the axial direction of the drive sheave 12 is smaller than the dimension in the direction perpendicular to the axial direction is used.

  A plurality of main ropes 13 (only one is shown in FIG. 1) for suspending the car 5 and the counterweight 6 are wound around the drive sheave 12. The hoisting machine 10 raises and lowers the car 5 and the counterweight 6 through the main rope 13.

  The hoisting machine 10 is arranged side by side on the side of the counterweight 6 so as to face the back surface 5b between the car 5 and the hoistway wall in the vertical projection plane. The drive sheave 12 is arranged so that its rotational axis is parallel to the depth direction of the car 5.

  Support pillars (auxiliary rails) 14 are erected vertically in the hoistway. The support column 14 is disposed in the vicinity of the corner between the second side surface 5d and the back surface 5b of the car 5. For example, the same support rail 14 as the guide rails 1 to 4 can be used, and the installation structure in the hoistway is the same as that of the guide rails 1 to 4 (structure using brackets and rail clips). it can. The upper part of the second car guide rail 2, the first and second counterweight guide rails 3, 4 and the support column 14 is substantially L for supporting the load of the elevator equipment including the car 5 and the counterweight 6. A letter-shaped support beam 15 is supported.

  The second car guide rail 2 supports the first end 15 a of the support beam 15. The first counterweight guide rail 3 supports the second end 15 b of the support beam 15. The second counterweight guide rail 4 supports an intermediate portion between the second end portion 15b of the support beam 15 and the bent portion. The support column 14 supports the bent portion of the support beam 15.

  The support beam 15 supports the first and second car return wheels 16 and 17 and the counterweight return wheel 18. The car return wheels 16 and 17 are arranged so that their rotation axes are parallel to the width direction of the car 5. The counterweight return wheel 18 is arranged so that its rotation axis is inclined with respect to the depth direction of the car 5.

  The main rope 13 is connected to a first end portion 13a connected to a first rope stop provided on the upper portion of the first car guide rail 1 and a second rope stop provided on the support beam 15. And a second end 13b connected thereto. Further, the main rope 13 is wound around the car suspension wheels 7 and 8, the car return wheels 16 and 17, the drive sheave 12, the counterweight return wheel 18, and the counterweight lifter 9 in order from the first end 13 a side. It is hung. That is, the car 5 and the counterweight 6 are suspended by the main rope 13 by a 2: 1 roping method. Accordingly, a part of the load of the car 5 is supported by the first car guide rail 1.

  2 is an enlarged plan view showing a main part of the elevator apparatus of FIG. 1, and FIG. 3 is a front view showing the vicinity of the hoisting machine 10 of FIG. The second counterweight guide rail 4 and the support column 14 are provided with a steady rest 19 for restricting the swing of the portion rising from the drive sheave 12 of the main rope 13 (the portion between the drive sheave 12 and the return wheels 17 and 18). Is fixed (FIG. 2).

  The steady rest 19 is disposed so as to surround the main rope 13 between the hoistway wall at the intermediate portion in the vertical direction of the hoistway. The steady rest 19 is attached to a steel attachment arm fixed to the second counterweight guide rail 4 and the support column 14. Furthermore, as the steady rest 19, for example, a steel member covered with a resin part is used.

  A support base (machine base) 20 is installed at the bottom of the hoistway. The first and second counterweight guide rails 3 and 4 are installed on the support base 20. A hoisting machine support frame 21 is fixed on the support base 20. The hoisting machine 10 is supported inside the hoisting machine support frame 21 via a plurality of vibration isolation members 22. The support column 14 is erected on the hoisting machine support frame 21. That is, the support column 14 is erected on a support base 20 common to the counterweight guide rails 3 and 4 via the hoisting machine support frame 21.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 3, the first counterweight guide rail 3 and the support pillars 14 are disposed on both ends of the support base 20, and the second counterweight guide rail 4 is provided on the support base 20. It is arranged on the middle part.

  In such an elevator apparatus, at least a part of the load of elevator equipment such as the car 5, the counterweight 6, the main rope 13, the support beam 15, and the return wheels 16 to 18 is only the guide rails 2, 3, and 4. Since it is also supported by the support pillar 14, the magnitude of the load acting on the guide rails 2, 3, 4 can be reduced, and the magnitude of the load acting on the guide rails 2, 3, 4 can vary. With a simple configuration, the strength of the guide rails 1 to 4 can be reduced and the cost can be reduced.

Further, since the counterweight guide rails 3 and 4 and the support column 14 are supported on the support base 20, the upward force acting on the hoisting machine 10 is applied to the counterweight guide rails 3 and 4 and the support column 14.
Can be offset in a balanced manner by the downward force acting on the structure, and the structure of the support base 20 can be simplified.

  Furthermore, since the steady rest 19 is fixed to the support column 14, the structure of the steady rest 19 can be simplified. That is, in the case where there is no support column 14, it is difficult to attach the steady rest of the main rope 13 between the drive sheave 12 and the car return wheel 17, and the structure of the steady rest is complicated. If the stopper 19 is fixed, the structure of the steady rest 19 is simple. Thereby, it can prevent that the main rope 13 shakes at the time of an earthquake etc., and is caught by a hoistway apparatus.

Here, FIG. 4 is an explanatory view for explaining the load acting on the support beam 15 from the car return wheels 16 and 17 of FIG. The support beam 15 is supported at point A by the second car guide rail 2 and supported at point B by the support column 14. And the load P (B) of B point is as following Formula.
P (B) = T1 × (L1 + L2) / L3.

FIG. 5 is an explanatory view for explaining a load acting on the support beam 15 from the counterweight wheel 18 of FIG. The support beam 15 is supported at the point C by the second counterweight guide rail 4 and is supported at the point D by the first counterweight guide rail 3. The load P (C) at point C and the load P (D) at point D are as follows.
P (C) = T2 × (L4 + 2 × L5) / L6
P (D) = 3 × T2-P (C)

On the other hand, when there is no support pillar 14, the load of C point and D point is as follows.
P (C) = P (B) × (L6 + L7) / L6 + T2 × (L4 + 2 × L5) / L6
P (D) = P (B) + 3 × T2-P (C)

  Thus, by adding the support column 14, the support beam 15 is not a cantilever beam, and the load P (C) at the point C can be reduced. Further, no upward load is generated at point D.

  Note that the number of steady rests is not particularly limited, and when the up and down stroke is long, a plurality of steady rests may be arranged at intervals in the vertical direction.

Embodiment 2. FIG.
Next, FIG. 6 is a plan view showing a schematic layout of the elevator apparatus according to Embodiment 2 of the present invention, FIG. 7 is a cross-sectional view taken along line VII-VII in FIG. 6, and FIG. It is a side view which expands and shows a support part. In this example, the support column 14 is disposed immediately above the hoisting machine 10. That is, the support column 14 is erected on the hoisting machine support frame 21 directly above the center in the width direction of the hoisting machine 10 and is supported on the hoisting machine 10.

  On the upper part of the hoisting machine support frame 21, a support column connecting part 21a protruding upward is provided. The lower end portion of the support column 14 is held by the support column connection portion 21a by a rail clip 23 that is a holder. Further, a spacer 24 as a height adjusting mechanism for adjusting the vertical position of the support column 14 is interposed between the lower end surface of the support column 14 and the upper surface of the hoisting machine support frame 21. The spacer 24 is configured by stacking a plurality of flat plates.

  The support beam 15 includes a counterweight side beam 25 supported by the support column 14 and the counterweight guide rails 3 and 4, and a car rope retaining beam 26 supported by the counterweight side beam 25 and the car guide rail 1. And a counterweight side beam 25 and a cage return beam 27 supported by the cage guide rail 2.

  The counterweight side beam 25 is arranged in parallel and horizontally in the width direction of the car 5. On the counterweight side beam 25, a counterweight return wheel 18 is supported. The counterweight side beam 25 supports a second rope stop 29.

  The cage rope retaining beam 26 and the cage return beam 27 are disposed at right angles and horizontally to the counterweight side beam 25. A first rope stopper 28 is supported on the cage rope anchoring beam 26. The car return wheels 16 and 17 are supported below the car return wheel beam 27. Other configurations are the same as those in the first embodiment.

  In such an elevator apparatus, since at least a part of the load of the elevator equipment is supported not only by the guide rails 2, 3, 4 but also by the support pillar 14, the load acting on the guide rails 2, 3, 4 is large. In addition to reducing the load, it is possible to suppress variations in the magnitude and direction of the load acting on the guide rails 2, 3, and 4. With a simple configuration, the strength of the guide rails 1 to 4 can be reduced and the cost can be reduced. Can be reduced.

  Here, when the motor diameter and the motor width of the hoisting machine 10 increase as the capacity of the elevator increases, the distance between the counterweight guide rails 3 and 4 is reduced. As a result, the fulcrum of the counterweight return wheel 18 moves away from the hoisting machine 10, and the downward force applied to the counterweight return wheel 18 increases, and the counterweight side beam 25, the counterweight guide rails 3, 4, and The support base 20 needs to be increased in size. However, since the support pillar 14 is provided between the hoisting machine 10 and the counterweight side beam 25, the upward force applied to the hoisting machine 10 and the downward force applied to the counterweight return wheel 18 cancel each other. Thus, it is not necessary to increase the size of the counterweight side beam 25, the counterweight guide rails 3 and 4, and the support base 20.

  Further, since the spacer 24 is interposed between the hoisting machine support frame 21 and the support column 14, the vertical position of the support column 14 can be easily adjusted by adjusting the thickness of the spacer 24. It is possible to easily adjust the level of the counterweight side beam 25 by absorbing the installation error of the device.

Next, FIG. 9 is a plan view showing a schematic layout of an elevator apparatus according to Embodiment 3 of the present invention, FIG. 10 is a cross-sectional view taken along line XX of FIG. 9, and FIG. It is a side view which expands and shows a support part. Although not shown in the second embodiment, each of the guide rails 1 to 4 is provided with a plurality of rail clips 23 (FIG. 11) on a plurality of rail brackets 31 fixed in the hoistway at intervals in the vertical direction. Is held by. Similarly, the support column 14 is also held by a plurality of rail clips 23 on a plurality of rail brackets 31.

  A structure 32 with a height adjusting function is interposed between the lower end surface of the support column 14 and the upper surface of the hoisting machine support frame 21. The structure 32 with a height adjustment function includes a base frame 33, a movable frame 34, a plurality of fastening bolts 35, and a plurality of jack-up bolts 36, and the height dimension of the structure itself is variable (adjustable). It has become.

  The base frame 33 is installed on the upper part of the hoisting machine support frame 21. The movable frame 34 is combined with the base frame 33 so as to be movable up and down. A plurality of elongated holes 33 a that allow the fastening bolts 35 to be displaced in the vertical direction are provided on the side surface of the base frame 33. Each fastening bolt 35 is screwed to the movable frame 34 through the long hole 33a. By tightening the fastening bolt 35, the vertical movement of the movable frame 34 with respect to the base frame 33 is restricted. Further, by loosening the fastening bolt 35, the movable frame 34 can be moved up and down.

  Each jackup bolt 36 is screwed to the upper surface portion of the movable frame 34. Further, the tip end portion (lower end portion) of each jackup bolt 36 is in contact with the upper surface of the hoisting machine support frame 21. By rotating the jack-up bolt 36 with the tightening bolt 35 loosened, the movable frame 34 is moved up and down.

  A spacer 37 for gap adjustment (for hoistway error adjustment) is interposed between the upper surface of the movable frame 34 and the lower end surface of the support column 14. The support column connecting portion 21 a is provided upright on the movable frame 34.

FIG. 15 is a side view showing the structure 32 with a height adjusting function shown in FIG. 14.

  In the elevator apparatus according to the third embodiment, when the hoisting machine 10 is replaced, the movable frame 34 is moved downward to create a gap between the spacer 37 and the support column 14. In order to generate such a gap, first, the rail clip 23 holding the support column 14 on the support column connection portion 21a is removed from the support column connection portion 21a. Next, the tightening bolt 35 is loosened and the jackup bolt 36 is rotated to move the movable frame 34 downward. Accordingly, the spacer 37 is also moved down together with the movable frame 34, and a gap is generated between the upper surface of the spacer 37 and the lower end surface of the support column 14 (FIGS. 14 and 15).

  In such an elevator apparatus, since the structure 32 with a height adjusting function is interposed between the support column 14 and the hoisting machine support frame 21, the support column 14 is held when the hoisting machine 10 is replaced. It is not necessary to pull up the counterweight side beam 25 and the support column 14 after all the rail clips 23 are loosened, and easily create a gap between the support column 14 and the hoisting machine support frame 21. Therefore, the replacement work of the hoisting machine 10 can be simplified.

  When the support column 14 is replaced, first, a gap is generated between the spacer 37 and the support column 14 as described above. And while removing the eyeplate part (not shown) which connects between the support pillars 14 adjacent to the up-down direction, the rail clip 23 holding the support pillar 14 in the rail bracket 31 is removed, and the part which needs to be replaced is removed. The support pillar 14 is replaced with a new support pillar 14, and the rail clip 23 is attached. Therefore, it is not necessary to remove all the rail clips 23 to jack up the entire support pillar 14 in order to remove the spacer 37, and the replacement work of the support pillar 14 can be simplified.
