In an execution example, the elevator cage is moved from the main elevator car frame to the landing hall through an auxiliary elevator, and thereafter, it is moved to the upper part (or the lower part) of the main elevator by the auxiliary elevator.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to elevator shuttles, and more particularly, to three or more elevator cars, each having a double-deck car frame or a 4-deck car frame that can move between corresponding hoistway ends. The present invention relates to an elevator shuttle composed of overlapping and continuous elevator shafts.

Elevator cars are transported between heavy car frames to move one cab or two cabs up or down in each hoistway, and 1
2- at the terminal level along one or two cab stops
Use a deck or 4-deck auxiliary elevator to move cabs in one direction between upper decks and in the other direction between lower decks, with only one landing for cabs at each terminal level Transfer the cab.

[0003]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Because all passengers heading to the upper floor of a building must travel through the lower floor of the building, very high buildings take up available elevator space (herein referred to as the core of the building). Use is required. Bitta
r), filed on July 25, 1996, by U.S. Pat. At 08 / 686,992, all elevator cabs moving in one direction move on the lower deck of the double deck car frame, all elevators moving in the opposite direction move on the upper deck of the double deck,
Each hoistway has a double-deck car frame, passing from one car frame in one hoistway to a car frame in the other hoistway. To reverse direction, an auxiliary elevator is provided at the terminal level to transfer the cab from the upper deck to the lower deck.

[0004]

However, in the embodiment of FIGS. 1 to 10 of the application, the main elevator car frame must wait on its hoistway, and the cab rises from the upper deck to the lower deck. It is lowered and passengers change. In the embodiment of FIGS. 5 and 6, off-shaft loading and unloading use a waiting period, but require a pair of landings on each side of the auxiliary elevator and each main elevator shaft. Elevator exits are in one lobby on each side, and elevator entrances are in a different lobby on each side. Obviously, this requires a significant building core at the two levels of the building. Further, if passengers had to walk from such a shuttle to a local elevator, such as a sky lobby, for example, some passengers would have to walk all the way along the shuttle stringers forming the bank.

[0005] In very tall buildings, it is well known to use double-deck elevators to increase passenger throughput with minimal impact on the building core. In particular, applying the auxiliary elevator of the aforementioned application in the embodiment of FIGS. 5 and 6 comprises two double-deck auxiliary elevators on each side of the main shaft,
It requires eight passenger lobbies, one on each side of the main elevator shaft on each of the first four floors of the building. Operating such a complex array of lobbies would illegally use additional cores, such as on escalators, to direct passengers to the various landing lobbies of such systems.

[0006] It is an object of the invention to provide a single auxiliary elevator at each terminal level and a single landing for the cab, with three levels on a multi-deck car frame with all of the single sides of the main elevator shaft at that level. Including providing an elevator shuttle having an elevator cab passing through each other cab between one or more cabs.

[0007]

According to the present invention, in an elevator shuttle system, all elevator cabs moving in one direction are connected in a continuous elevator.
All elevator cabs that move in the lower deck of the multi-deck car frame and move in the opposite direction move in the upper deck of the elevator car frame. Auxiliary elevators at each terminal level are to be received in the cab on either the upper or lower deck, to unload and reload the cab and to supply the cab to the opposite (lower or upper) deck for movement. Has the same number of elevator car frames as the main elevator.

According to an embodiment of the invention, the elevator cab is transferred from the main elevator shaft to the same deck of the auxiliary elevator, and then the elevator cab is transferred directly to the corresponding landing for unloading and reloading. The cab is then moved vertically from the original (top or bottom) deck to the opposite (bottom or top) deck for reloading the main elevator car frame. In another embodiment of the invention, the elevator cab is transferred to a similar deck (upper or lower) of the auxiliary elevator to the deck of the main elevator car frame, and the auxiliary elevator is transferred to the opposite deck (lower or upper) deck. Moved to the position of the adjacent cab, then transferred to an adjacent landing for unloading and reloading passengers, then to the same deck (lower or upper) of the auxiliary elevator and to the main elevator car frame To the same deck. The invention is disclosed as an embodiment of a double deck in which the cab always moves on each hoistway, and discloses an embodiment of a square deck in which two cabs always move on the hoistway.

Moving the cab directly from the landing via the auxiliary elevator to the main car frame (as in FIGS. 3A-3G), moving the cab upwards in the upper deck and lower deck It can also be performed by moving upwards at.

Also, as in the case of FIG.
The same is true for landings that are in line with the upper deck.
Similarly, the method of FIGS. 2 (A)-(G) (directly from the main car frame to the landing via the auxiliary elevator) involves a cab ascending in the lower deck and a cab descending in the upper deck. The same applies to landings that are executed and are in line with the upper deck, as in FIG. 2 (H).

Whether the elevator moves upward in the upper deck or the lower deck as shown in FIGS. 2A to 2G, and whether the auxiliary elevator is moved as shown in FIGS. 3A to 3G. The choice of whether to be transferred directly from the main elevator shaft to the landing via the mains is a function of the choice according to all circumstances in which the invention should be used.

FIGS. 4 (A) to 4 (E), 5 (A) to 5
(E) and 6 (A) -6 (E) show the movement of the cab in the square frame of the present invention (same as FIG. 1). 4 (A), 4 (E), 5 (C), 6 (A) and 6
In (D), the elevator car frames 35-37 are not visible because the car frames are moving in each hoistway section where the car frame is broken in these figures. The present invention is based on the order of 40-80 floors in length and FIGS.
(E) can be performed by a hoistway which is only 10% of the system shown. FIG. 5A is the same as FIG. FIGS. 4A-4E show how the cabs G, H approach the upper level of the high car frame 37,
In FIG. 4D, cabs G and H are auxiliary elevators 49.
And to the landing in FIG. 4 (E). 5 (B) to 5 (E) show how the cabs G, H are transferred to the lower deck of the higher car frame 37, and FIGS. 6 (A), 6 (B) and 6 ( E) shows the way to the lower level 41.

In the embodiment of FIGS. 4A to 6E,
The invention is shown as transferring the cab to the landing via the lower level and upper level auxiliary elevators in the manner of FIGS. 2A-2G. However, the upper and lower levels can be transferred from the landing to the main elevator car frame via the auxiliary elevator in the manner of FIGS. 3 (A) -3 (G). That is, one level is one method and another level is another method. This is illustrated in FIG.
(C) to the upper level in FIG. 5 (D). These are simply shown in FIGS. In other words, the operation at the upper level is shown in FIGS.
According to (G), when the high elevator car frame 37 arrives at the upper level 48, the elevator car frame is
Going to the high position shown in (A), the cab is replaced as shown in FIG. 7 (B), which occurs exactly in FIG. 4 (D). The cab is then lowered to the landing, unloaded and reloaded, and the door is closed in FIGS. 7 (C) -7 (F). When the higher car frame 37 returns to the upper level in FIG. 7 (G) again, cabs G and H are connected to cabs A and B in exactly the same manner as shown in FIG. 5 (G). Be exchanged. Thus, the only difference is that the higher main elevator car frame moves two more floors in the embodiment of FIGS. 7A-7G. The important point here is that the operation is not performed according to the embodiment of FIGS. 3A to 3G, but that the upper and lower levels are operated in different ways.

FIGS. 4A to 6E show three hoistways 32.
4 shows a shuttle system having -34. The system works equally well with four hoistways, five hoistways, etc., since the cab moving up is always on the upper deck and the cab moving down is always on the lower deck.

All that is required is a square deck elevator car frame in each hoistway and a pair of cabs for each hoistway. In the embodiment shown in FIGS. 4A to 6E, the upper lobbies 52 and 53 are different from the lower lobbies 45 and 4 respectively.
6 is shown on the same side of the elevator shuttle. However, they need not be on the same elevator shuttle side, and either of the lobby sets may be on the opposite side of the other set. Of course, both lobbies may be on the opposite side from what is shown.

Since the shuttle in the embodiment of FIGS. 4 (A) -6 (E) uses off-shaft unloading and reloading of passengers, the individual car frames 35-37 operate generally synchronously. Each elevator arrives on the transfer floor at the same time as the other elevators arrive, and passengers getting on and off (especially closing doors at the landing) are timed for the arrival of the next elevator to the corresponding level. Can be. The timing can be adjusted in any suitable manner desired. All of this is
It is irrelevant to use the invention and can be selected as needed.
