Description

Elevator equipment

  The present invention relates to an elevator apparatus. More specifically, since it is a device that can move in directions other than vertical, it should be an elevator-like device, but it can be said that it is an elevator device field from the viewpoint that the elevator car can also move in the vertical direction.

Elevator equipment is very useful for moving people and goods in environments with different elevations, and as the use of living space becomes multi-layered, it becomes an indispensable means of transport and transportation for daily life and economic activities. ing. In most of the conventional elevator apparatuses, an elevator car moves in the vertical direction and conveys people and things.

Since the direction in which movement or transportation is desired is not limited to the vertical direction, when the vehicle is to be moved in an oblique direction, a skewed elevator in which the moving path of the car is obliquely used is used. This skewed elevator is different from a normal elevator in that the moving path of the elevator car is provided obliquely, but basically there is no significant difference from a normal elevator, and the car is maintained while keeping the floor of the car almost horizontal. It can move with a substantially constant inclination in the vertical direction with a horizontal component. In the following text, the term elevator equipment is used to include elevator-like equipment unless there is a particular need for distinction.

However, there are many cases where the requirements cannot be satisfied simply by being easily transported in a vertical or oblique direction, such as moving passengers from one platform to another in a station. There is a demand for an elevator apparatus that can move in the lateral direction in addition to the direction. In order to satisfy such a requirement, there is proposed a connecting bridge elevator operating device described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2004-137057 in which an elevator moving in the vertical direction is combined with a horizontally moving car.

The above-mentioned elevator operation system for connecting bridges is a combination of a conventional elevator installed on each platform that can move in the vertical direction and a horizontally moving car, so it can move not only in the vertical direction but also in the horizontal direction on the car. It is groundbreaking in terms of what it can do. However, the elevator operating device for connecting bridges described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2004-137057 reaches the destination by one operation like a normal elevator when a passenger tries to move from one platform to another. It is not possible, and it is necessary to change the car at a point where the direction of movement changes, and it is inconvenient because it requires time adjustment and driving operation each time it changes, especially elderly people who need elevators for connecting bridges It was not always easy to use for those who were called the weak. And for those who declined the elderly and leg strength, wide roads and railway large number of railway crossing width comprising a plurality of lanes is very dangerous because it takes a long time required for crossing, at these locations It was necessary to ensure safe and smooth traffic for pedestrians. Other non-patent literature describing general elevator technology is Takio Nakai's “Technology for Architectural Electricity and Elevator” Gakugei Shuppansha 1993, but there is no description of a special elevator device.

The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned various problems, and an elevator apparatus that can move to a direction other than the vertical including the vertical direction by a simple driving operation and can reach the target point safely and quickly. It is intended to provide.

In order to achieve the above object, in an elevator apparatus in which a car can move in a direction other than the vertical direction in addition to the vertical direction, a part in which one car is placed in the movement path room and the car moves in a direction other than the vertical direction At least three guide rollers are mounted on each side of the car so that the shaft end faces the wall of the moving path chamber, while facing the wall of the moving path chamber that is vertical at The multiway guideway that fits and guides each of the rollers in the vertical direction when the car in the moving path room moves vertically, and the moving direction of the car in the part where the car in the moving path room moves in a direction other than vertical The elevator apparatus is characterized in that a notch portion is provided at a location where the guideways of the plurality of paths intersect with each other, and a power transmission point placed on the car is connected to a power transmission line provided in the moving path chamber.

In addition, the number of guide rollers provided on each side of the elevator car is three, and the guide roller is a combination of two of the three in one group and the remaining one, An elevator apparatus is provided with two guideways for one group of guideways and one guideway for guide rollers and a plurality of guideways consisting of one path on each inner wall of the moving path.

Alternatively, the number of guide rollers provided on each side of the car is four, and two of the four guide rollers are made into one group, and two groups are formed on each of the inner walls of the moving path. The elevator apparatus is provided with a plurality of guide roller guideways.

The present invention places at least three cars on each side of a car, placing one car in the car room and facing the wall of the car room that is vertical in the part where the car moves in a direction other than vertical. The guide roller is attached so that the shaft end faces the wall of the moving path chamber. On the other hand, on the inner wall of the moving path, a plurality of guide ways for fitting and guiding each of the guide rollers are arranged in the vertical direction in a portion where the car in the moving path room moves vertically, and the direction in which the car in the moving path room is not vertical. And an elevator apparatus characterized in that a notch portion having a gap slightly larger than the diameter of the guide roller is provided at a location where the guideway of the plurality of paths intersects at a portion where the guideway of the plurality of paths intersects in the moving direction of the car. As a result, it is possible to move in directions other than vertical including the vertical direction without changing, and it is possible to reach the target point quickly and safely because there is no need for complicated transfer and time to wait for a transfer car. . The elevator apparatus according to the present invention can reach the destination via a vertical or horizontal movement path when the user enters the car at the starting point and instructs the destination to operate a normal elevator. It is. It is possible to get on and off at an intermediate point by providing a stop point as appropriate between the starting point and the farthest point. In addition, by installing the elevator apparatus of the present invention on a wide road composed of a plurality of lanes or a railway crossing with a large number of rails, a pedestrian can pass safely and smoothly.

The best mode for carrying out the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a schematic explanatory view showing a main part of an elevator apparatus 1 according to the present invention. This figure is a side view of the car 2 in the moving path room, and the moving path room itself is not drawn . On both sides of the figure, there is a vertical movement path 3 in which the car 2 of the elevator apparatus 1 moves vertically, and in the center upper part of the figure is a horizontal movement path 4 in which the car 2 moves in the horizontal direction. The elevator apparatus 1 of the present invention installs a moving road room from a platform to another platform or a desired route such as a pedestrian bridge across a road, and moves a car 2 along a guideway 7 to be described later. It is to be transported.

In the elevator apparatus 1 of the present invention, one car 2 is provided for each moving path room . However, in the figure , a plurality of cars 2 are illustrated to explain the movement of the car 2. In addition, when explaining the movement of the elevator apparatus 1, unless otherwise specified in the following sentence, a description will be given on a route where the car 2 reaches the lower left position starting from the lower right position. There is no obstacle. Furthermore, the horizontal cross section of the car 2 may be a complicated shape such as a circle or a polygon, but here it will be described as a square.

As described above, a plurality of cars 2 are shown in the figure, but one car 2 is placed in the moving path chamber, and each of the opposing outer side surfaces 5 of the car 2 (the side that appears as the front in the figure and its side) On the opposite side, at least three guide rollers 6 are rotatably mounted so that each shaft is orthogonal to the outer surface 5 of the car 2. At this time, if the distance between the guide rollers 6 is made as large as possible, the stability of the car 2 moving in the moving path chamber increases. However, in the embodiment shown in FIG. One guide roller 6 is provided near the upper center. These guide rollers 6 are fitted into a guide way 7 to be described later, and move along the guide way 7.

On both sides of the figure, there is a vertical movement path 3 in which the car 2 of the elevator apparatus 1 moves vertically, and in the center of the figure is a horizontal movement path 4 in which the car 2 moves in the horizontal direction. A plurality of guideways 7 for guiding the guide rollers 6 in the movement path chamber are provided for the individual guide rollers 6. The guide ways 7 are attached in the vertical direction in the vertical movement portion and in the horizontal direction in the horizontal movement portion. Where the value changes, a roundness is provided to change it gently. Further, the guide way 7 for each guide roller 6 may be shared in a portion where the trajectory of the guide roller 6 overlaps like the guide way 7 provided in the horizontal movement path 4 in the figure.

In the elevator apparatus 1 of FIG. 1, when the guide way 7 for each guide roller 6 is mounted in the moving path room, two of the lower car guide rollers 6 are moved closer to the car 2 than the guide roller 6 near the upper center of the car 2. To prevent the guideways 7 from interfering with each other. FIG. 17 is a perspective view of the portion 12 where the guideway 7 of FIG. 1 intersects as viewed from the inside of the moving path opposite to FIG. The guide way 7 for the guide roller 6 at the lower part of the car is attached to the car on the inner wall of the moving path, and the guide way 7 for the guide roller 6 at the center of the upper part of the car is attached at a position away from the car 2 on the inner wall of the moving path. At a location 12 where the guide way 7 for the lower car guide roller 6 and the guide way 7 for the upper guide car 6 at the center of the car intersect each other, the guide roller 6 at the upper center of the car 2 moves as the car 2 moves. Since it will collide with the guide way 7 for the guide roller 6, the guide way 7 for the lower car guide roller 6 is cut out by a dimension slightly larger than the diameter of the guide roller 6 to provide a notch 13, and the guide roller at the center of the upper part of the car 6 guideway 7 is given priority.

Further, a power transmission point 8 is provided in the vicinity of the upper center of the side of the car 2 where the guide roller 6 is located, and a pulley 9 is attached to each of the lower part and the upper part of the vertical moving part of the inner wall of the moving path. Reference numeral 10 denotes a power transmission line, which is indicated by a broken line in the figure, but the power transmission line 10 is pulled by a motor 14, which will be described later, and the car 2 is moved along the guideway.
The power transmission line 10 is moved substantially parallel to the guide way 7 so that one point of the power transmission line 10 is coupled to the power transmission point 8. A large-diameter guide sheave 11 is provided at a location where the direction of the power transmission line 10 is gradually changed along the guide way 7. As shown in FIG. 1, when the curvatures of the guide sheave 11 and the guide way 7 are made the same, the movement when the car 2 changes the moving direction becomes smooth. The power transmission line 10 is capable of traveling forward and backward, and is connected to the drive wheels via a tensioning device.

Assuming that the car 2 of the elevator apparatus 1 is in the lower right position in the moving path room, the car 2 coupled to the power transmission line 10 at the power transmission point 8 is obtained when the driving wheel is rotated in the direction of the arrow. To rise. A guide roller 6 is attached to the car 2, and the guide roller 6 is guided to a guide way 7 on the inner wall of the moving path, so that the car 2 rises in the vertical moving path 3, but is near the top of the vertical moving path 3. As it is guided by the guideway 7 bent in step, it gradually changes to lateral movement. Since the power transmission line 10 also changes its direction gently by the guide sheave 11 and proceeds in the lateral direction, the car 2 supported by the guide roller 6 moves to the left in the horizontal movement path 4 of the movement path chamber.

The car 2 that has reached the left end of the horizontal movement path 4 in the movement path chamber is gradually moved downward by being guided by the guide way 7 that is gently bent downward at the left end of the horizontal movement path 4. Since the transmission cable 10 is also moved downward by the guide sheave 11 at the left end of the horizontal movement path 4, the car 2 guided on the guide way 7 by the guide roller 6 of the vertical movement path 3 is lowered. The car 2 is stopped after reaching a predetermined position. When the car 2 moves in the reverse direction, the traveling of the power transmission line 10 is reversed.

FIG. 2 is a horizontal sectional view taken along line AA in FIG . In the figure, the lower four guide rollers 6 of the car are attached closer to the car 2 than the guide roller 6 at the center of the upper part of the car, so that the guide way 7 for the guide roller 6 at the lower part of the car is the car on the inner wall of the moving path. The guideway 6 for the guide roller 6 at the center of the upper part of the car is located at a position away from the car 2 on the inner wall of the moving path, so that the guideways 7 can be prevented from interfering with each other. Further, a power transmission point 8 is provided near the center of the upper side of the car 2 where the guide roller 6 is located, and is connected to the power transmission line 10. Since the power transmission line 10 travels near the wall in the movement path room, it does not become an obstacle when the car 2 moves. In FIG. 2, the reason why a part of the wall of the moving path chamber shown by hatching is open is that the vicinity of the horizontal section in line AA hits the entrance / exit side of the car 2, and will be described later with reference to FIGS. The same applies to.

3 is a vertical sectional view taken along line BB in FIG. A car 2 supported by a guide roller 6 is placed on a guideway 7 in the approximate center of the moving path chamber indicated by hatching.
