Description

  The present invention relates to an elevator apparatus, and more particularly to an elevator apparatus including a speed governor.

  The elevator apparatus includes a speed governor (governor), and when the raising / lowering speed of the car reaches a set value larger than the rated speed, the car stop switch of the speed governor is actuated to stop the car. For example, the car stop switch has a switch lever, and when the elevator lifting / lowering speed reaches a set value, the switch lever is operated to rotate from a stationary position (position in the rotation direction when the elevator apparatus is operated). Then, the power source of the driving device that drives the car is shut off to stop the car.

  Patent Document 1 discloses a front stop having a switch that stops an elevator driving device when operated, an operating device (operating lever) disposed on a pendulum lever, and a support device (return spring) disposed on the pendulum lever. An apparatus is described. In this pre-stop device, the operation lever rotates to switch the switch to stop the elevator driving device, and the support device automatically returns the rotated operation lever to the stationary position.

JP-A-62-51584

  After the car stop switch is activated, after inspection and recovery measures are taken by a professional engineer, the car stop switch is returned to the rest position (position in the rotational direction when the elevator apparatus is operated) by the lever return device. The elevator system must be allowed to restart. Therefore, the car stop switch must not automatically return to the rest position.

  In the conventional technology, when the car stop switch is rotated from the stationary position, the car stop switch and the switch lever collide with surrounding parts such as a lever return device, and the car stop switch is stopped by the repulsion of the collision. In order to avoid returning to the position, it is necessary to make a large space around the car stop switch and switch lever so that the car stop switch and switch lever can rotate without colliding with surrounding parts. . For this reason, in the conventional elevator apparatus, since a large space is required around the car stop switch and the switch lever, there is a problem that the speed governor is enlarged and the installation space for the speed governor is increased.

  An object of the present invention is to provide an elevator apparatus including a small speed governor in which a car stop switch does not automatically return to a stationary position (a position in a rotation direction when the elevator apparatus is in operation).

  In order to achieve the above object, an elevator apparatus according to the present invention has the following characteristics.

  A car that raises and lowers the inside of a hoistway provided in a building, a governor rope connected to the car, a sheave on which the governor rope is provided and wound on the building, A governor weight provided at a side of the sheave and having one end projecting outward in the radial direction of the sheave by centrifugal force when the sheave rotates, and is pivotally provided on a base.

Switch Camst Further comprising path and, a lever rebound preventing member fixed to the base. In the car stop switch, the switch lever is pushed by the one end portion of the governor weight protruding outward in the radial direction of the sheave when the raising / lowering speed of the car reaches a predetermined set value. It is provided at the position. The lever bounce prevention body is a position that covers at least a part of the lever bounce prevention body between the position of the switch for stopping the car and the position of the switch cam stopper when the power is supplied. Is provided. When the one end of the governor weight pushes the switch lever, the car stop switch rotates and contacts the switch cam stopper. The lever bounce preventing body fixes the car stop switch, which has stopped rotating by contacting the switch cam stopper, between the lever bounce preventing body and the base.

  The elevator apparatus according to the present invention can include a small speed governor in which the car stop switch does not automatically return to the stationary position.

It is the figure which looked at the switch for a car stop, a switch cam stopper, and a lever rebound prevention body from the upper direction, and is sectional drawing of the governor seen along the arrows A and A of FIG.

  Hereinafter, an elevator apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.

  FIG. 1 is a schematic view of an elevator apparatus according to this embodiment. The elevator apparatus includes a hoistway 2, a car 3, a main rope 5, a traction sheave 6, a guide rail 7, an emergency stop device 8, an operating lever 9, a governor rope 10, and a governor 12.

  The hoistway 2 is provided in the building 1. The car 3 moves up and down in the hoistway 2. The main rope 5 is connected to the car 3 at one end and the counterweight 4 to the other end, and suspends the car 3 and the counterweight 4. The traction sheave 6 is provided at the top of the hoistway 2, the main rope 5 is wound around, and is driven by a driving device (not shown) provided with a braking device. The car 3 is driven via the main rope 5 by driving the traction sheave 6 and moves up and down in the hoistway 2. The guide rail 7 is provided inside the hoistway 2 and guides the raising and lowering of the car 3. The emergency stop device 8 is provided on the car 3, and holds the guide rail 7 to stop the raising and lowering of the car 3 at an emergency stop. At the time of this emergency stop, it can be determined that the raising / lowering speed of the car 3 has reached a predetermined set value, for example, 1.4 times the rated speed. The operating lever 9 is provided in the car 3 and drives the emergency stop device 8. The governor rope 10 is endless, is connected to the operating lever 9, and is stretched over the entire lifting stroke of the car 3 in the hoistway 2. The governor 12 is provided at the top of the hoistway 2 and includes a sheave 11 around which the governor rope 10 is wound. The sheave 11 rotates with the elevator rope 10 by the governor rope 10.

  FIG. 2 is a front view of the governor 12. The governor 12 has a base 13 fixed to the top of the guide rail 7. The base 13 has a U-shape when viewed from the side, a vertical portion 13V parallel to the raising / lowering direction of the car 3, a horizontal upper portion vertically connected to the vertical portion 13V above the vertical portion 13V, The lower portion of the vertical portion 13V has three surfaces, ie, a horizontal lower portion connected perpendicularly to the vertical portion 13V. A support shaft 14 that rotatably supports the sheave 11 is fixed to the vertical portion 13 </ b> V of the base 13.

  A pair of governor weights 15A and 15B are attached to the side portion of the sheave 11 so as to be rotatable about the support pins 16A and 16B, respectively. The support pins 16A and 16B are attached to the governor weights 15A and 15B at positions close to one end, not the center of the governor weights 15A and 15B, respectively. The governor weights 15A and 15B are connected to each other by a connecting rod 17. In the governor weight 15A, a connecting rod 17 is connected to an end portion closer to the support pin 16A, and a claw portion 18A is formed to an end portion far from the support pin 16A. One end of a spring 19 is coupled to the governor weight 15B at an end portion closer to the support pin 16B, and a claw portion 18B is formed at an end portion far from the support pin 16B. The other end of the spring 19 is fixed to the boss portion of the sheave 11. The governor weights 15 </ b> A and 15 </ b> B are held in place by the elastic force of the spring 19.

  When the sheave 11 rotates as the car 3 moves up and down, the governor weights 15A and 15B rotate about the support pins 16A and 16B, respectively, and the claw portions 18A and 18B move outward in the radial direction of the sheave 11 by centrifugal force. Displace. At this time, since the governor weights 15A and 15B are connected to each other by the connecting rod 17 and the movement is restricted, the claw portions 18A and 18B are displaced outward in the radial direction of the sheave 11 by the same distance. By this displacement, the claw portions 18 </ b> A and 18 </ b> B project from the sheave 11 on the outer side in the radial direction of the sheave 11.

  A car stop switch 20 is provided above the sheave 11 in the vertical portion 13V of the base 13. The car stop switch 20 is an L-shaped plate-like member having a surface parallel to the vertical portion 13V and a surface perpendicular to the vertical portion 13V. The central portion of the surface parallel to the vertical portion 13V is supported by the rotary shaft 24, and the vertical portion It can be rotated along 13V. The rotating shaft 24 is fixed to the vertical portion 13V. The car stop switch 20 has a switch lever 20L at a lower portion of a surface parallel to the vertical portion 13V. The switch lever 20L protrudes downward toward the sheave 11 as shown in FIG. 2 during operation of the elevator apparatus. The state of the car stop switch 20 when the switch lever 20L protrudes downward toward the sheave 11 is referred to as “stationary state”, and the position of the car stop switch 20 in the stationary state (the car) The direction of the stop switch 20) is referred to as a “still position”. In the stationary state, power is supplied to a driving device (not shown) that drives the car 3. In FIG. 2, the car stop switch 20 is in a stationary state.

  Further, a switch contact 20 </ b> S for intermittently supplying power to a driving device (not shown) for driving the car 3 is provided on the vertical portion 13 </ b> V of the base 13 above the car stop switch 20. The switch contact 20S is in contact with the car stop switch 20 when the car stop switch 20 is in the stationary position, that is, when the elevator apparatus is in operation (when the car 3 is raised or lowered). Power can be supplied to the driving device to be driven. When the switch contact 20S does not come into contact with the car stop switch 20, the power supply to the drive device that drives the car 3 is cut off.

  Further, two switch cam stoppers 21 and a lever rebound preventing body 22 are provided on the vertical portion 13V of the base 13 on the side of the car stop switch 20.

  3 is a view of the car stop switch 20, the switch cam stopper 21, and the lever rebound preventing body 22 as viewed from below, and is a cross-sectional view of the governor 12 as viewed along arrows A and A in FIG. Equivalent to. 3, the same reference numerals as those in FIG. 2 denote the same elements as those in FIG. 2, and the description of these elements is omitted. In FIG. 3, as in FIG. 2, the car stop switch 20 is stationary.

  As described above, the car stop switch 20 is an L-shaped plate member having a surface parallel to the vertical portion 13V and a surface perpendicular to the vertical portion 13V, and the central portion of the surface parallel to the vertical portion 13V is connected to the rotating shaft 24. Supported.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the two switch cam stoppers 21 are protrusions provided on the vertical portion 13V. As shown in FIG. 2, one switch cam stopper 21 is disposed at a position above the rotation shaft 24, and the other switch cam stopper 21 is disposed at a position below the rotation shaft 24. The two switch cam stoppers 21 are preferably installed so that the vertical distance from the rotating shaft 24 is equal.

  The lever bounce prevention body 22 is configured by a leaf spring, and at least a part of the lever bounce prevention body 22 covers the space between the position of the car stop switch 20 and the position of the two switch cam stoppers 21 in the stationary state. 25 is fixed to the vertical portion 13V.

  The two switch cam stoppers 21 are for stopping the rotation of the car stop switch 20 and are arranged at positions where the rotated car stop switch 20 can come into contact. When the car stop switch 20 rotates about the rotation shaft 24 along the vertical portion 13V, the car stop switch 20 comes into contact with the switch cam stopper 21 and stops rotating. The switch cam stopper 21 is positioned above and below the rotary shaft 24 so that the rotation can be stopped with a small rotation angle regardless of whether the car stop switch 20 rotates clockwise or counterclockwise. Deploy.

  The installation position of the switch cam stopper 21 (the distance in the horizontal direction from the car stop switch 20 and the distance in the vertical direction from the rotation shaft 24) can be determined by the allowable rotation angle of the car stop switch 20. The allowable rotation angle of the car stop switch 20 includes the car stop switch 20 and the switch lever 20L, and parts arranged around the car stop switch 20 and the switch lever 20L (however, the switch cam stopper 21 and the lever bounce back). It can be determined by the distance to the prevention body 22). That is, when the car stop switch 20 rotates, the car stop switch 20 and the switch lever 20L do not come into contact with surrounding parts, and the car stop switch 20 can come into contact with the switch cam stopper 21. A switch cam stopper 21 is disposed.

  The lever bounce prevention body 22 formed of a leaf spring fixes the car stop switch 20 that has stopped rotating by contacting the switch cam stopper 21 between the lever bounce prevention body 22 and the vertical portion 13V. . That is, when the car stop switch 20 rotates and comes into contact with the switch cam stopper 21, the position in the rotational direction is fixed by the lever bounce prevention body 22 while being in contact with the switch cam stopper 21. Therefore, the car stop switch 20 does not automatically return to the stationary position (position in the rotational direction when the elevator apparatus is in operation).

  As shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, the lever bounce prevention body 22 can fix the car stop switch 20 in contact with the switch cam stopper 21 by sandwiching it between the lever bounce prevention body 22 and the vertical portion 13V. The position between the position of the car stop switch 20 and the position of the two switch cam stoppers 21 in a stationary state is arranged so as to be covered with at least a part of the lever rebound prevention body 22.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 3, the lever bounce prevention body 22 between the car stop switch 20 and the switch cam stopper 21 in a stationary state is provided so that the lever bounce prevention body 22 can fix the car stop switch 20. And the vertical portion 13V is made smaller than the thickness of the car stop switch 20 (part of the lever bounce prevention body 22 between the car stop switch 20 and the switch cam stopper 21 in a stationary state). May be in contact with the vertical portion 13V). Further, as shown in FIG. 3, the car stop switch 20 and the switch cam stopper 21 in a stationary state are arranged so that the car stop switch 20 can enter between the lever bounce prevention body 22 and the vertical portion 13V. It is assumed that there is a gap between the lever bounce prevention body 22 and the vertical portion 13V. The maximum distance between the lever bounce prevention body 22 and the vertical portion 13 </ b> V in this gap is made larger than the thickness of the car stop switch 20.

  As shown in FIG. 2, a lever return device 23 is provided on the vertical portion 13 </ b> V of the base 13 on the side opposite to the lever rebound prevention body 22 on the side of the car stop switch 20. The lever return device 23 is a component disposed around the car stop switch 20 and the switch lever 20L, and the car stop switch 20 fixed between the lever bounce prevention body 22 and the vertical portion 13V is fixed. It is a device for returning to a stationary position.

  The lever return device 23 may include, for example, a solenoid coil and a protruding portion that protrudes toward the car stop switch 20 when a voltage is applied to the solenoid coil. By pushing the surface perpendicular to the vertical portion 13V of the car stop switch 20 with the protruding portion protruding, the car stop switch 20 sandwiched between the lever bounce prevention body 22 and the vertical portion 13V is brought into the stationary position. Can return.

  The lever bounce prevention body 22 may not be configured by a leaf spring, and may be, for example, a plate-like member provided with an adhesive substance on the surface facing the vertical portion 13V. In this case, the lever bounce prevention body 22 can be fixed by sandwiching the car stop switch 20 that has stopped rotating by contacting the switch cam stopper 21 due to the adhesive force of the adhesive substance. The car stop switch 20 fixed by the adhesive substance can also be returned to the stationary position by the lever return device 23 as described above.

  Due to some factor, the lifting speed of the car 3 is set at a predetermined value (a value smaller than the setting value when the safety device 8 grips the guide rail 7 as described above), for example, 1.3 times the rated speed. The governor weights 15A and 15B are rotated about the support pins 16A and 16B by the centrifugal force of the sheave 11 respectively, and the claw portions 18A and 18B are opposed to the elastic force of the spring 19, The support pins 16 </ b> A and 16 </ b> B are displaced toward the outside in the radial direction of the sheave 11 with the support pins 16 </ b> A and 16 </ b> B as fulcrums, and project from the sheave 11. The claw portions 18A and 18B protruding from the sheave 11 push the switch lever 20L to rotate the car stop switch 20. When the car stop switch 20 rotates, the car contact switch 20S moves away from the switch contact 20S, cuts off the switch contact 20S, shuts off the power supply to the driving device (not shown) that drives the car 3, and operates the braking device. The raising and lowering of the car 3 is electrically stopped.

  The rotated car stop switch 20 comes into contact with the switch cam stopper 21 and stops rotating. At this time, the lever bounce prevention body 22 fixes the car stop switch 20 that has stopped rotating by contacting the switch cam stopper 21 between the lever bounce prevention body 22 and the vertical portion 13V, and stops the car. This prevents the switch 20 from automatically returning to the rest position.

  FIG. 4 is a front view of the speed governor, and shows a state in which the lever bounce prevention body 22 is fixed by sandwiching the car stop switch 20 between the lever bounce prevention body 22 and the vertical portion 13V. It is. 4, the same reference numerals as those in FIG. 2 denote the same elements as those in FIG. In addition, in FIG. 4, the raising / lowering of the passenger car 3 has stopped, and the state which the rotation of the sheave 11 has stopped is shown. Accordingly, centrifugal force is not applied to the governor weights 15A and 15B, and the claw portions 18A and 18B do not protrude outward in the radial direction of the sheave 11.

  Since the car stop switch 20 is sandwiched and fixed between the lever bounce prevention body 22 and the vertical portion 13V, the switch 20S is not automatically returned to the stationary position, and the switch contact 20S is maintained in a disconnected state. Can do.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the car stop switch 20 sandwiched and fixed between the lever bounce prevention body 22 and the vertical portion 13 </ b> V has the protrusion of the lever return device 23 protruding to stop the car as described above. By pressing a surface perpendicular to the vertical portion 13V of the switch 20 for operation, it is possible to return to the stationary position.

  FIG. 5 is a view of the car stop switch 20, the switch cam stopper 21, and the lever rebound preventing body 22 as seen from below, as in FIG. 3, and the speed control seen along arrows A and A in FIG. This corresponds to a sectional view of the machine 12. 5, the same reference numerals as those in FIG. 3 indicate the same elements as those in FIG. The lever bounce prevention body 22 is fixed by sandwiching the car bounce stop switch 20 that has stopped rotating by contacting the switch cam stopper 21 between the lever bounce prevention body 22 and the vertical portion 13V.

  As described above, in the elevator apparatus according to the present embodiment, the car stop switch 20 that cuts off the power supply and electrically stops the raising / lowering of the car 3 does not automatically return to the stationary position. . Further, it is possible to prevent the car stop switch 20 and the switch lever 20L from colliding with surrounding parts such as the lever return device 23 and the car stop switch 20 to return to the stationary position. For this reason, it is not necessary to make a large space around the car stop switch 20 and the switch lever 20L, the speed governor can be reduced in size, and space can be saved.

  In addition, this invention is not limited to said Example, Various modifications are included. For example, the above-described embodiments are described in detail for easy understanding of the present invention, and the present invention is not necessarily limited to an aspect including all the configurations described.

  Further, in each drawing, control lines and information lines are described as necessary for explanation, and not all control lines and information lines necessary as products are necessarily described. In an actual product, it may be considered that almost all components are connected to each other.
