Due to the large amount of time it takes to reach, the skyscraper has a hoistway for express and a hoistway for each floor separately provided for efficient operation. In a skyscraper, when moving from one building to another, when moving from one high floor to another high floor, once descend to the ground and go to the other high floor of the other building There must be.

On the other hand, as a self-propelled elevator equipped with a linear motor in a skyscraper, it has already been proposed that the car itself operates while riding on the hoistway and the traverse road. Not only is the structure of the linear motor provided in the hoistway complicated, but the weight of the car itself also increases, causing problems such as high-speed traveling.

On the other hand, in an elevator equipped with a linear motor in a skyscraper, a traverse path is provided in communication between the hoistways of the building, and a vertical carriage is provided in each hoistway so that the car can move up and down. Although a self-propelled elevator that can drive passengers in each of the above cars to each other while traveling in a transverse car that runs independently on the road has also been proposed, the safety of transferring the passengers in each of the above cars to each other Is not enough.

According to the present invention, in order to solve the above-mentioned problems, a shaft door is provided at an intersection of a hoistway so as to be opened and closed when each car stops, and a detector of the shaft door is used to detect each car. It is an object of the present invention to provide a self-propelled elevator having safety when opening and closing each car door and transferring passengers in each car to each other.
