Description

  The present invention relates to an elevator braking device in which braking torque is inspected and brake linings are rubbed according to the result.

  Elevator brake devices are regularly inspected for safety reasons. In a conventional elevator brake device, a brake is actuated on a hoist that drives a car to move up and down, and a braking torque is calculated from the deceleration to determine pass / fail (for example, Patent Document 1). . As a result, the work load is reduced compared to the method of estimating the braking torque in the use state by repeatedly measuring the driving force of the hoisting machine while loosening the braking spring.

JP-A-6-263353 (paragraph numbers 15 to 17, FIGS. 2 to 5)

By the way, the braking torque of the elevator hoisting machine changes due to the influence of rust, dust and the like due to long-term use. Although such a change in braking torque can be detected quickly according to Patent Document 1, if it is determined that the braking torque is ineligible, it is necessary to remove rust and dust and to replace the brake lining. is there. Furthermore, it is necessary to adjust the brake lining so as to obtain a stable braking torque by rubbing with the brake wheel.
However, if the hoisting machine is rotated while the braking torque is being used in normal operation, an excessive load is applied to the electric motor, and the protective device cannot be operated and rubbed.

It is also conceivable that the hoisting machine is driven and rubbed in a state where the braking torque is reduced by loosening the braking spring, but the margin of braking torque against the unbalanced torque of the car and the counterweight is reduced. It is also assumed that the car will run away.
Conventionally, as disclosed in the above-mentioned Patent Document 1, the brake is operated after the hoisting machine is rotated, and the inertial force at that time and the balance of the car and the counterweight are unbalanced. The brake lining and brake wheel were rubbed together by torque.
However, the amount of work on the sliding surface is insignificant, and it takes a long time for the braking torque to stabilize. For this reason, there has been a problem that the work load is increased and the elevator user is also inconvenienced.

  The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems, and provides an elevator brake device capable of rubbing a brake lining and a brake wheel of a hoist installed in a building in a short time. Objective.

  An elevator brake device according to the present invention includes a brake spring that individually presses a plurality of brake linings distributed on a rotating body against the rotating body to generate a braking force, and resists the pressing force of the brake spring. An electromagnet that separates the brake lining from the rotating body and releases the braking force is provided, and in normal operation for transporting passengers, all the electromagnets are energized at once to fully open the rotating body and rotate the hoist. In the rubbing operation in which the brake lining and the rotating body are rubbed together, some electromagnets are energized, and the hoisting machine is rotated and rubbed with the rotating body partially opened. is there.

Since this invention is comprised as mentioned above, there exist the following effects.
The brake device for an elevator according to the present invention includes, for each of a plurality of brake linings distributed on the rotating body, a brake spring that individually presses the brake lining against the rotating body to generate a braking force, and the brake spring An electromagnet that separates the brake lining from the rotating body against the pressing force and releases the braking force is provided, and in normal operation to transport passengers, all the electromagnets are energized at once to fully open the rotating body. In the rubbing operation in which the hoisting machine is rotated and the brake lining and the rotating body are rubbed together, a part of the electromagnet is energized, and the hoisting machine is rotated with the rotating body partially opened. It is made to rub with the driving force of.
For this reason, in the rubbing operation, the brake lining can be rubbed by the electric motor in a state in which the braking force of the brake is reduced without changing the setting of the brake spring, compared to the case of rubbing by the inertia force of the hoisting machine. There is an effect that the rubbing can be completed in a short time.

  Further, if the electromagnet on the side to be rubbed is energized with an exciting current that does not open, the pressing force of the brake lining can be reduced by the brake spring even if the brake spring remains in normal operation. The value can be set to a value smaller than the pressure, and there is an effect that the rubbing operation can be performed with an appropriate pressing force while avoiding overheating of the brake lining.

Embodiment 1 FIG.
1 to 6 show Embodiment 1 of the present invention.
FIG. 1 is a vertical cross-sectional view of a hoistway showing an enlarged main part. A hoisting machine 1 is installed in a machine room 2, and an electric motor 3 and a brake that is a rotating body are provided on a rotating shaft 4 of the hoisting machine 1. A wheel 5 is attached. A left brake mechanism 6L is mounted on the left side of the brake wheel 5, and a right brake mechanism 6R is mounted on the right side.

  The left brake mechanism 6L is pivotally supported by a pin 9aL on a brake lining 7L that slides against the brake wheel 5 to generate a braking force, a brake shoe 8L that holds the brake lining 7L, and the main body of the hoisting machine 1. A brake lever 9L that swings and advances and retracts the brake shoe 8L, a bracket 10L that is erected from the main body of the hoist 1 and faces the brake lever 9L, and is interposed between the bracket 10L and the brake lever 9L. The brake spring 11L that presses the brake lining 7L against the brake wheel 5 via the brake lever 9L and the brake shoe 8L to generate a braking force, and the electromagnetic coil 12bL attached to the bracket 10L and energized by the iron core 12aL The movable iron piece 13L fixed to the brake lever 9L is sucked. Then, the brake lining 7L is detached from the brake wheel 5 against the pressing force of the brake spring 11L, and the temperature of the brake lining 7L is detected by being attached to the outer surface of the electromagnet 12L for releasing the braking force and the brake shoe 8L. It consists of a thermometer 14L.

The right brake mechanism 6R is configured in the same manner as the left brake mechanism 6L, and a description thereof will be omitted.
Note that the right brake mechanism 6R and the left brake mechanism 6L individually perform braking and releasing operations. In FIG. 1, the left brake mechanism 6L disengages the brake lining 7L from the brake wheel 5 to release the braking force, and the right brake mechanism 6R presses the brake lining 7R against the brake wheel 5 to generate the braking force. Indicates.
Hereinafter, when generically referring to the left and right brake mechanisms 6L and 6R, the brake mechanism 6 is used, and in the case of generically referring to the component parts, the reference numerals from which L and R are deleted are also used.

  A sheave 15 is attached to the rotating shaft 4. A main rope 16 is wound around the sheave 15, a car 17 is suspended on one side, and a counterweight 20 is suspended on the other side via a deflector 19. A scale device 18 is attached to the car 17, and a torque corresponding to the unbalanced load between the car 17 and the counterweight 20 is generated in the sheave 15 and controlled so as to start smoothly. And also used to detect that the car 17 has become unloaded. The car 17 moves up and down each floor between the lowermost floor 21 and the uppermost floor 22 by turning the sheave 15.

FIG. 2 shows a speed curve 17c when the braking torque Tb of the brake is measured, and FIG. 3 shows an arithmetic expression of the braking torque Tb.
That is, in the set state of the brake spring 11 in the normal driving state for transporting passengers, the left and right brake mechanisms 6 are collectively released and the motor 3 is energized at time t0. The hoisting machine 1 is driven by the electric motor 3 to accelerate, and rises at the rated speed Vr. At time t1, the electric motor 3 is de-energized to continue raising and lowering by inertia, and the left and right brake mechanisms 6 hold the brake wheel 5 to brake the hoisting machine 1. The hoist 1 stops at time t2. In the speed curve 17c, the braking torque Tb is calculated between time t1 and time t2, and the calculation result is evaluated.

That is, referring to FIG. 3, Tb is the braking torque, Tm is the motor torque, fc is the car side tension of the main rope 16, fw is the weight side tension, and Ts is the difference between the car side tension fc and the weight side tension fw. The unbalance torque, Ds is the sheave diameter, ω is the angular velocity of the rotating shaft 4, and J is the moment of inertia related to the rotating shaft 4. The unbalanced torque Ts is expressed by equation (1) in FIG.
From time t0 to t1, since it is driven by the electric motor 3, equation (2) in FIG. 3 is obtained. From time t1 to t2, Tm = 0 and the vehicle is decelerated by the braking torque Tb. Therefore, the equation (3) in FIG. 3 is established, and the braking torque Tb can be obtained from (4).
The operation shown in FIG. 2 is performed in a state where the car 17 is unloaded, so that the unbalanced torque Ts and the moment of inertia J are known in advance. Therefore, the braking torque Tb can be obtained by measuring the angular deceleration (dω / dt) of the rotating shaft 4.

FIG. 4 is an explanatory diagram showing the concept of the rubbing operation of the brake lining 7.
4A shows a speed curve 17cs of the rubbing operation, and FIGS. 4B and 4C show the operating state of the brake mechanism 6. FIG.
That is, the left-and-right brake mechanism 6 is braked and the car 17 stopped at the lowest floor 21 is opened at the time t10, the right-side brake mechanism 6R is released, the left-side brake mechanism 6L is set in the braking state, and is started up. Rub. When arriving at the top floor 22 at time t12, the left and right brake mechanisms 6 are put into a braking state, and the car 17 is stopped.
The rubbing speed Vcs is set to a predetermined value equal to or lower than the rated speed Vr in order to reduce the output of the electric motor 3.

Next, at time t13, the left brake mechanism 6L is released, and the right brake mechanism 6R is brought into a braking state to be lowered and rubbed together. When arriving at the lowest floor 21 at time t15, the left and right brake mechanisms 6 are put into a braking state, and the car 17 is stopped.
That is, in the rubbing operation, the left and right electromagnets 12L and 12R are sequentially switched and energized to rotate the hoisting machine 1 with the motor 3 with the brake wheel 5 partially opened, and the brake linings 7L and 7R are alternated. It is intended to rub against each other.
Each time the friction between the left and right brake linings 7L and 7R is completed, the braking torque Tb is measured according to FIGS. As a result, when the braking torque Tb does not reach the specified value, the rubbing operation is performed again. When the braking torque Tb reaches the specified value, the normal operation is restored.

FIG. 4C shows the rubbing operation when the left and right thermometers 14 detect that the brake lining 7 has been overheated.
That is, when the left car lining 7L is rubbed with the car 17 ascending and the left thermometer 14L detects overheating of the left brake lining 7L at time t11, the left brake mechanism 6L is immediately opened. The rubbing is stopped and the car 17 is raised to the top floor 22.

The same applies to the case where the right thermometer 14R detects overheating of the right brake lining 7R at the time t14 when the car 17 is operated to descend and the right brake lining 7R is rubbed. The mechanism 6R is opened to stop rubbing, and the car 17 is lowered to the lowest floor 21.
Similarly in the case of FIG. 4C, the braking torque Tb is measured every time the rubbing is completed, and the rubbing operation is performed again based on the result.

FIG. 5 is a block diagram of an electric circuit for measuring the braking torque Tb and performing a rubbing operation. In the figure, the same reference numerals as those in FIG. 1 denote the same parts.
That is, a speedometer 25 made of an encoder is attached to the rotary shaft 4 and outputs an angular velocity ω. The electric motor 3 is energized by a power source 26 and is controlled to rotate by the electric motor control circuit 27 to drive the hoisting machine 1.
The brake maintenance operation switch 30 is always connected to the contact a and the normal operation circuit 28 is operating. The normal operation circuit 28 sends a signal to the motor control circuit 27 to control the motor 3 in an operation mode in which passengers are transported. In an emergency, the main contact 28 is opened to deactivate the motor 3, and the car 17 Emergency stop.
In order to rub the brake lining 7, the brake maintenance operation switch 30 is connected to the contact b. The normal operation circuit 28 stops operating, and the brake maintenance operation circuit 40 operates. Also, a brake maintenance operation command from the monitoring center 46 that collectively monitors the elevators at various locations is received via the telephone network 47 and the communication terminal 48, and the normal operation circuit 28 is also stopped by this command signal. The brake maintenance operation circuit 40 can be activated.

The brake maintenance operation circuit 40 receives signals from the CPU 41, the ROM 42 in which both the brake inspection program in FIG. 6 and the rubbing operation program in FIG. 7 are recorded, the RAM 43 in which data is recorded, and signals from external devices. It comprises an input circuit 44 and an output circuit 45 that outputs a signal to an external device.
The input circuit 44 includes an operation signal of the brake maintenance operation switch 30, an angular velocity ω of the rotating shaft 4 that is an output signal of the speedometer 25, temperature signals θ 1 and θ 2 from the left and right thermometers 14, and the car 17. A scale signal of the scale device 18 for detecting the loaded load and a brake maintenance operation command signal from the communication terminal 48 are input.
Further, the output circuit 45 is connected to the motor control circuit 27 in order to perform the measurement operation and the rubbing operation of the braking torque Tb. It is also connected to the circuit of the main contact 28 for measuring the braking torque Tb. In order to individually operate the left and right brake mechanisms 6L and 6R, the electromagnetic coils 12bL and 12bR are also individually connected. Further, a communication terminal 48 is also connected to transmit the result of the maintenance operation of the brake to the monitoring center 46.

FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing the operation of the measurement operation of the braking torque Tb. The operation will be described with reference to FIG. 2, FIG. 3 and FIG.
The brake maintenance operation switch 30 is connected to the normal contact point a and is in a normal operation mode for transporting passengers.
When the brake maintenance operation switch 30 is connected to the contact b by human operation or when a brake maintenance operation command is input from the monitoring center 46 to the input circuit 44 and the normal operation circuit 29 via the communication terminal 48, the normal operation is performed. To brake maintenance operation.
In step S1, after confirming that the car 17 has no load, the scale device 18 performs the ascending operation from the lowest floor 21 to the uppermost floor 22 in the normal operation mode (from time t0 to time t1 in FIG. 2). ). In step S2, it is detected from the angular velocity ω by the speedometer 25 that the car 17 has reached the rated speed Vr. In step S3, the main contact 28 is opened and the motor 3 is de-energized (time t1 in FIG. 2). . The brake spring 11 is set in a normal operation state, and in this setting state, the electromagnets 12 of the left and right brake mechanisms are collectively de-energized to brake the hoist 1 and stop the car 17 (see FIG. 2 from t1 to t2). From the deceleration in this section, the braking torque Tb is calculated by equation (4).

  In step S5, it is checked whether the braking torque Tb has reached the specified value To. If not, the process proceeds to step S6 and the rubbing operation shown in FIG. 7 is performed. If the rubbing operation is completed, the process returns to step S1, and the braking torque Tb is calculated again by steps S1 to S4. When the braking torque Tb reaches the specified value To in step S5, the process proceeds to step S7, and after the car 17 is temporarily stopped to the nearest floor, it is switched to normal operation in step S8. This switching is performed by returning the brake maintenance operation switch 30 when the brake maintenance operation switch 30 is operated. In the case of a command from the monitoring center 46, the operation is automatically switched to the normal operation, and the brake maintenance operation ends.

FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing the operation of the rubbing operation in step S6 of FIG. The operation will be described with reference to FIGS.
Steps S11 to S16 are rubbing of the left brake lining 7L. That is, in step S11, the car 17 is called to the lowest floor 21 which is one terminal floor (initial state in FIG. 4). In step S12, an activation command is issued toward the top floor 22, and the motor control circuit 27 energizes and controls the motor 3 according to the speed pattern of the rubbing operation. The hoist 1 opens the right brake mechanism 6R, puts the left brake mechanism 6L in a braking state, rubs and rotates the left brake lining 7L, and raises the car 17 (time t10 in FIG. 4). In step S13, the temperature θ1 of the left thermometer 14L on which the rubbing is performed is read. When the temperature θ1 is equal to or lower than the predetermined value θo, the process proceeds to step S14 to check whether the car 17 has arrived at the top floor 22.

  Through steps S13 and S14, the temperature θ1 is monitored until the car 17 arrives at the top floor 22 (from time t10 to time t12 in FIG. 4). If the temperature θ1 exceeds the predetermined value θo on the way, the process moves from step S13 to step S15, the rubbing is temporarily stopped, the left and right brake mechanisms 6 are both released, and the ascending operation is continued (time t11 in FIG. 4). ). When arriving at the top floor 22, the process proceeds from step S14 to step S16, the motor 3 is de-energized, and both the left and right brake mechanisms 6 are put into a braking state (time t12 in FIG. 4).

Steps S17 to S21 are the rubbing of the right brake lining 7R, and are the same as steps S12 to S16.
That is, in step S17, a start command is issued from the top floor 22 to the bottom floor 21, and the motor control circuit 27 energizes the motor 3 according to the speed pattern of the rubbing operation. The mechanism 6L is opened, and the right brake mechanism 6R is put into a braking state and rubbed to lower the car 17 (time t13 in FIG. 4). In step S18, the rubbing is continued when the temperature θ2 of the right brake lining 7R on which rubbing is performed is equal to or less than a predetermined value θo. In step S19, it is checked whether the car 17 has arrived at the lowest floor 21.

Through steps S18 and S19, the temperature θ2 is monitored until the car 17 arrives at the lowest floor 21. If the temperature θ2 exceeds the predetermined value θo on the way, the process proceeds from step S18 to step S20, the rubbing is temporarily stopped, and both the left and right brake mechanisms 6 are released (time t14 in FIG. 4). When the car 17 arrives at the lowest floor 21, the process proceeds from step S19 to step S21, the motor 3 is de-energized, and the left and right brake mechanisms 6 are both braked.
When one round of rubbing is completed from step S11 to step S21, the process returns to step S1 in FIG. 6 and the braking torque Tb after rubbing is measured. The processing of the measurement result is as described with reference to FIG. 6, and the measurement of the braking torque Tb according to FIG. 6 and the rubbing operation according to FIG. 7 are repeated. When the brake lining 7 and the brake wheel 5 become familiar, the braking torque Tb reaches the specified value To.

  According to the first embodiment, the brake spring 11 and the electromagnet 12 are individually provided for each of the plurality of brake linings 7 distributed on the outer periphery of the brake wheel 5. All brakes are energized at once to fully open the brake wheel 5 and all the brakes are de-energized and braked at the same time. In the rubbing operation, some electromagnets 12 are energized to partially release the brake wheel 5. In this state, the hoisting machine 1 is rotated by the electric motor 3 and the remaining brake lining 7 is rubbed together, so that the normal operation is performed under the braking torque Tb as in the conventional case. In the rubbing operation, the braking torque Tb is reduced by partial opening, and the brake lining 7 is rubbed by the driving force of the electric motor 3, so that an excessively large load is not applied to the electric motor 3 and the winding is performed. Compared with the case where they are rubbed by the inertial force of the upper machine 1, the rubs can be rubbed in a short time.

In addition, since the brake spring 11 remains in the set state in the normal operation, when an emergency occurs during the rubbing operation, the brake spring 5 is pressed by the brake linings 7 and braked so that the brake spring 11 can be ridden. The car 17 can be urgently stopped. In particular, in the case of a command from the monitoring center 46, the matching can be performed in an unattended state.
Further, since the rubbing operation can be performed by operating the brake maintenance operation switch 30 provided as a part of the operation circuit of the elevator and by the remote operation from the monitoring center 46, the brake lining 7 can be easily installed. Can be rubbed together.
Furthermore, since the braking torque Tb is measured prior to the rubbing operation and prior to the re-rubbing operation after the rubbing operation, the brake lining 7 is worn by unnecessary rubbing operation. I will not let you.
Furthermore, during the rubbing operation, the thermometer 14 detects the temperatures θ1 and θ2 of the brake lining 7 and stops the rubbing operation when the temperature exceeds a predetermined value θ0. Will not overheat.

Embodiment 2. FIG.
In the second embodiment, the brake spring 11 is left stationary in the normal operation setting state, and the braking torque Tb is reduced in the rubbing operation. 8 and 9 show the second embodiment.
FIG. 8 is a front view of the hoist 1 showing the force acting on the left brake lever 9L. In FIG. 8, the same reference numerals as those in FIG. The pressing force reducing means 50 is for exciting the brake lining 7 with a predetermined current value at which the brake lining 7 is not detached from the brake wheel 5 to reduce the pressing force by the brake spring 11.
The attractive force of the electromagnet 12L is fg, the exciting current is i, the gap between the iron core 12La and the movable iron piece 13L is g, and the proportionality constant is α. Assuming that there is no magnetic saturation, the attractive force fg is expressed by the equation (5) in FIG. The same applies to the right brake lever 9R.
Further, if the spring reaction force by the brake spring 11L is fs, the spring reaction wave force at the time of release (compression) is γ, the deflection (gap) is g, and the proportionality constant is β, the spring reaction force fs is (6) in FIG. Represented by an expression. The same applies to the right brake lever 9R.

FIG. 9 shows the relationship between the gap g, the suction force fg, and the spring reaction force fs based on the equations (5) and (6). That is, during braking, the gap gc is formed, and the brake lining 7 is pressed by the spring reaction force fsc. The spring reaction force fs does not change between the normal operation and the rubbing operation.
When the hoisting machine 1 is opened in normal operation, the electromagnet 12 is energized with an exciting current i indicating the characteristics of the attraction force fg1, and is attracted with an attraction force fg1c exceeding the spring reaction force fsc at the time of braking gc. 7 is released. It is switched by a brake switch (not shown) on the way, and the open go state is maintained with the suction force fg1o. When braking the hoist 1, the electromagnet 12 is deenergized, and the brake lining 7 is pressed against the brake wheel 5 by the spring reaction force fsc to be braked.

In the rubbing operation, the opening side energizes the electromagnet 12 with the exciting current i indicating the characteristic of the attractive force fg1 and opens it, as in the normal operation.
The rubbing side urges the electromagnet 12 with the exciting current i indicating the characteristic of the attractive force fg2, that is, the current value limited by the pressing force reducing means 50. Accordingly, since the suction force fg2c during braking gc is smaller than the spring reaction force fsc, the brake lining 7 does not open, but the brake lining 7 has a pressing force (= fsc−fg2c) smaller than the spring reaction force fsc. 5 is pressed. In this pressed state, the hoist 1 is rotated to rub the brake lining 7 together. When arriving at the final floor, the electromagnet 12 is de-energized and the hoisting machine 1 is stopped by pressing the brake lining 7 against the brake wheel 5 with the spring reaction force fsc, as in normal operation.

According to the second embodiment, in the rubbing operation, since the electromagnet 12 is urged by the exciting current i that does not open in the rubbing side, the brake spring 11 remains in the normal operation. However, the pressing force of the brake lining 7 can be set to a value smaller than the spring reaction force fsc.
For this reason, it is possible to perform the rubbing operation with an appropriate pressing force without overheating the brake lining 7.
