Description

  The present invention relates to a rope breakage detecting device that detects breakage of an elevator hoisting rope, that is, breakage of a rope strand.

  FIG. 8 is a side view showing a schematic configuration of a conventional elevator, FIG. 9 is a perspective view showing a hoist installed in a machine room of a conventional elevator, and FIG. 10 shows a broken state of an elevator hoisting rope in the conventional elevator. It is a side view explaining.

  In the conventional elevator, as shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, the machine room 2 is installed in the upper part of the hoistway 1, and the elevator control panel 3 and the hoisting machine 4 are installed in the machine room 2. A hoisting rope 7 (hereinafter referred to as a rope 7) is hung on a sheave 5 of the hoisting machine 4, one end of which is suspended in the hoistway 1 and the other end is placed in the hoistway 1 via the deflecting wheel 6. Drooped. A car 8 is connected to one end of the rope 7, and a counterweight 9 is connected to the other end of the rope 7.

  In the conventional elevator configured as described above, the sheave 5 is rotationally driven by the hoisting machine 4, and the car 8 and the counterweight 9 are guided by a guide rail (not shown) to move up and down in the hoistway 1. At this time, since the rope 7 is hung in the sheave groove of the sheave 5, the sheave 5 is rotated and stopped by the frictional force generated between the rope 7 and the sheave groove. Then, the car 8 and the counterweight 9 are moved up and down.

  The rope 7 is formed by twisting a plurality of strands 7a that are stranded wires of a wire. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 10, the rope 7 is worn over time due to the frictional force generated between the rope 7 and the sheave groove, and finally the strand 7a is broken. When the car 8 is moved up and down while the strand 7a is broken, the break of the strand 7a of the rope 7 proceeds, causing a failure caused by damaging other equipment or a passenger confinement failure caused by an emergency stop of the car 8. There was a fear.

  In the conventional elevator, management of the rope 7 and maintenance of safety depended only on periodic inspections by maintenance workers. In the periodic inspection by the maintenance worker, it is possible to prevent the strand 7a of the rope 7 from being broken due to aged wear. However, if the break of the strand 7a occurs suddenly until the next periodic inspection, this cannot be detected, and the breakage of the strand 7a of the rope 7 proceeds to break down other equipment. In addition, a passenger confinement failure due to an emergency stop of the car 8 occurs. Thus, in the conventional elevator, the function which can detect automatically the fracture | rupture of the strand 7a of the rope 7 was not provided.

  In view of such a situation, the operation member is disposed close to the hoisting machine, and the operation member is configured to be moved from the initial position by the strand that has floated from the outer peripheral surface of the rope when the strand breakage of the rope occurs. Conventional rope breakage detection devices that detect the occurrence of strand breakage by moving the operating member have been proposed (see, for example, Patent Documents 1 and 2).

JP 2002-003119 A Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 08-333066

  The conventional rope breakage detection device according to Patent Document 1 is configured such that the operating member is moved from the initial position by the strand that has lifted from the outer peripheral surface of the rope only when traveling in one direction of the rope. When traveling in the direction, the occurrence of strand breakage cannot be detected. Therefore, it has not been possible to reliably prevent the occurrence of failure due to breakage of other equipment due to occurrence of strand breakage or the occurrence of passenger confinement failure due to the emergency stop of the car.

  Further, in the conventional rope breakage detecting device according to Patent Document 2, the operation member is arranged so as to cross one side of the rope row in which a plurality of ropes are arranged in one row in the rope arrangement direction. Since one end portion is configured to be rotatable around an axis orthogonal to both the rope length direction and the rope arrangement direction, the occurrence of strand breakage can be detected when the rope travels in both directions. . However, since the distance from the rotation center of the operation member to the rope is different for each rope, the operating force for moving the operation member from the initial position is different for each rope due to the strand that has floated from the outer peripheral surface of the rope. Thereby, the detection sensitivity of the breakage of the strand differs for each rope, and there is a problem that the occurrence of the strand breakage cannot be detected with a uniform detection sensitivity for a plurality of ropes.

  The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems, and can detect the occurrence of strand breakage during bi-directional travel of the rope, and can also detect strand breakage with a uniform detection sensitivity for a plurality of ropes. An object of the present invention is to obtain a rope breakage detection device capable of detecting occurrence.

  The rope breakage detecting device according to the present invention is a rope breakage detecting device for detecting breakage of a plurality of ropes connected at one end to an elevator car, and is configured to be rotatable around a first shaft, Has a first movable member formed at the rear end, and a first operating member fixed to the tip of the first movable member with the length direction parallel to the axial direction of the first shaft, The first operation member is directed to the rope row in which the ropes are arranged in one row, the axial direction of the first axis is made to coincide with the rope arrangement direction of the rope row, and the first operation member is attached to the rope row. A main detector disposed so as to cross one side in the rope arrangement direction; an actuator having a base attached to the switch case so as to be rotatable about a rotation axis; and a roller attached to a tip. The roller is engaged with the first cam; Te, and a and a limit switch arranged so as to be positioned on the same plane in which the axis of the axis and the first axis is parallel to each other and perpendicular to the rope of said rotary shaft. The main detection unit is configured to rotate the first movable member around the first axis by causing the strand floating from the outer peripheral surface of the rope to press the first operation member when the rope breaks. It is configured to detect the occurrence of rope breakage. The limit switch is configured such that when the first movable member is rotated about the first axis, the roller is guided and moved by the first cam, so that the actuator is rotated about the rotation axis. The rope breakage detection signal is output.

  According to this invention, the first movement member is fixed to the tip of the first movable member with the length direction parallel to the axial direction of the first axis, and the axial direction of the first axis coincides with the rope arrangement direction of the rope row. The first operating member is arranged so as to cross one side of the rope row in the rope arrangement direction.

  Therefore, regardless of the direction of travel of the rope, the strand that has lifted from the outer peripheral surface of the rope presses the first operating member when passing through the first operating member. Thereby, the first movable member rotates around the first axis, and the occurrence of breakage of the strand can be detected.

  Moreover, the distance between a 1st action | operation member and a rope is equal in each rope, and the axial center of a 1st axis | shaft and the length direction of a 1st action | operation member are parallel. Therefore, the operating force that causes the first operating member to rotate around the first axis by the strand floating from the outer peripheral surface of the rope is equal for each rope. Thereby, the occurrence of strand breakage can be detected with a uniform detection sensitivity for a plurality of ropes.

An operating member 15 and a limit switch 16 that receives the rotation of the first movable member 12 around the first shaft 14 and detects the breakage of the rope 7, that is, the breakage of the strand 7a, are provided. In addition, the 1st movable member 12 and the 1st action | operation member 15 comprise a main detection part.

  The limit switch 16 includes a switch case 17 in which a built-in switch (not shown) is housed, and an actuator 18 that projects from the switch case 17 and transmits external force and movement to the built-in switch. The actuator 18 is provided with a roller 18a at the protruding end, and is attached to the switch case 17 so that the root side can be rotated around a rotation shaft 18b parallel to the axis of the roller 18a.

  The limit switch 16 engages the roller 18a with the first cam 13, and the shaft center of the first shaft 14, the shaft center of the first operation member 15, the shaft center of the roller 18a, and the shaft center of the rotation shaft 18b. The switch case 17 is fixedly attached to one surface of the first housing 11 so as to be positioned on the same plane. At this time, the first operating member 15 is located outside the side of the first housing 11.

  The first housing 11 to which the first movable member 12 and the limit switch 16 are attached has a first operation on one side of the rope row in which the three ropes 7 are arranged in a row near the sheave 5. The lower end of the member 15 is fixed to the machine base 30 so that the member 15 faces the rope row and the axial direction of the first operation member 15 is parallel to the arrangement direction of the rope row. The axis of the first shaft 14, the axis of the first operating member 15, the axis of the roller 18 a, and the axis of the rotating shaft 18 b are located on the same plane perpendicular to the length direction of the rope 7. . Here, the broken end portion of the strand 7 a is normally lifted by about 10 cm from the outer peripheral surface of the rope 7. Therefore, the first operating member 15 is disposed so as to face the rope row with a gap d1 of about 2 cm to 3 cm, for example, so that the strand 7a is reliably caught and does not malfunction. Moreover, the 1st operation | movement member 15 has the length exceeding the width | variety of the arrangement direction of a rope row, and is arrange | positioned so that it may protrude on the both sides of the arrangement direction of a rope row.

  A first cover 19 is attached to the upper end of the first housing 11 so as to cover the first movable member 12 and the limit switch 16. Further, the first foreign matter removing shoe 20 is made of, for example, a rectangular flat plate made of polyethylene resin or the like, and is attached to the lower ends of the first cover 19 and the first housing 11 so as to face the rope row with a clearance d2 secured. Is arranged. Here, the gap d2 is equal to or smaller than the gap d1.

  The rope breakage detecting device 10 is further formed in a columnar shape with a second movable member 22 attached to one surface of a rectangular flat plate-like second housing 21 so as to be rotatable around a second shaft 23, and the second movable member. A second operating member 24 fixed to one end of the second shaft 23 in parallel with the axial direction of the second shaft 23, and a second cam 26 formed on one end surface, respectively, are fixed to both ends of the second operating member 24. And a pair of torque transmission members 25 projecting in the opposite direction to the second movable member 22 in parallel with the length direction of the second movable member 22. The second movable member 22, the second operation member 24, and the torque transmission member 25 constitute an auxiliary detection unit.

  The second housing 21 to which the second movable member 22 is attached has the second operating member 24 facing the rope row on the other side of the rope row near the sheave 5 where the three ropes 7 are arranged in a row. The lower end of the second operating member 24 is fixed to the machine base 30 so that the axial direction of the second operating member 24 is parallel to the arrangement direction of the rope rows. Here, the axis of the second shaft 23 and the axis of the second operating member 24 are positioned on the same plane as the axis of the first shaft 14, the axis of the first operating member 15, and the axis of the roller 18a. doing. And the 2nd operation member 24 is arrange | positioned so that the clearance gap d1 may be ensured and it may oppose a rope row | line | column. Further, the pair of torque transmission members 25 protrudes to one side of the rope row through both sides in the arrangement direction of the rope row, and the second cams 26 are engaged with both end sides of the first operation member 15.

  A second cover 27 is attached to the upper end of the second housing 21 so as to cover the second movable member 22. Further, the second foreign matter removing shoe 28 is made of, for example, a rectangular flat plate made of polyethylene resin or the like, and is attached to the lower ends of the second cover 27 and the second housing 21 so as to ensure a gap d2 and face the rope row. Is arranged.

  Here, the first movable member 12 and the first motion member 15 are formed so that the center of gravity of the integrated body of the first movable member 12 and the first motion member 15 is located on the axis of the first shaft 14. Yes. Therefore, normally, the first movable member 12 does not generate a rotational force due to a weight imbalance around the first shaft 14. Further, the second movable member 22 and the second operating member 24 are formed so that the center of gravity of the integrated body of the second movable member 22 and the second operating member 24 is located on the axis of the second shaft 23. . Therefore, normally, the second movable member 22 does not generate a rotational force due to a weight imbalance around the second shaft 23.

  In the normal state of the rope breakage detecting device 10 configured as described above, the axis of the first shaft 14, the axis of the first operating member 15, the axis of the roller 18a, the axis of the rotating shaft 18b, and the second axis 23 and the axis of the second operating member 24 are located on the same plane orthogonal to the length direction of the rope 7, the roller 18 a is engaged with the first cam 13, and the second cam 26 is the first The operating member 15 is engaged. The actuator 18 does not press the built-in switch, and the built-in switch is OFF. Therefore, the rope break detection signal output from the limit switch 16 to the elevator control panel 3 via the rope break operation detection cable (not shown) is OFF.

  Here, when the strand 7a is broken in a part of the rope 7, the broken strand 7a is lifted from the outer periphery of the rope 7 as shown in FIG. The strand 7a that has lifted from the outer periphery of the rope 7 presses the first operating member 15 and the second operating member 24 when the rope 7 travels and passes through the rope breakage detecting device 10.

  For example, in FIG. 1, when the rope 7 travels upward and the strand 7 a presses the first operating member 15, the first movable member 12 rotates counterclockwise around the first shaft 14. Therefore, the actuator 18 moves while the roller 18a is guided by the first cam 13, and rotates clockwise around the rotation shaft 18b on the root side. As the actuator 18 rotates, the internal switch of the limit switch 16 is pressed and turned ON. Then, when the first movable member 12 rotates beyond the set angle, the engagement between the roller 18a and the first cam 13 is released. At the same time, the engagement between the first operating member 15 and the second cam 26 is released.

  In FIG. 1, when the rope 7 travels upward and the strand 7 a presses the second operating member 24, the second movable member 22 rotates around the second shaft 23 in the clockwise direction. Thereby, the torque transmission member 25 rotates around the second shaft 23 in the clockwise direction. Therefore, the first movable member 12 moves while the first operating member 15 is guided by the second cam 26 and rotates counterclockwise around the first shaft 14. Furthermore, the actuator 18 moves with the roller 18a guided by the first cam 13, and rotates clockwise around the rotation shaft 18b on the root side. As the actuator 18 rotates, the internal switch of the limit switch 16 is pressed and turned ON. When the torque transmission member 25 rotates beyond the set angle, the engagement between the first operating member 15 and the second cam 26 is released. When the first movable member 12 rotates beyond the set angle, the engagement between the roller 18a and the first cam 13 is released.

  When the rope 7 travels downward, the rotation direction of the first movable member 12 around the first axis 14 is reversed, and the rotation direction of the second movable member 22 around the second axis 23 is reversed. Except for this point, the operation is the same, so the description of the detection operation is omitted.

  The rope break detection signal output from the limit switch 16 to the elevator control panel 3 via a detection signal output cable (not shown) is turned ON. Therefore, for example, the elevator control panel 3 stops the car 8 at the nearest floor, stops the restart, and notifies the monitoring center of the occurrence of breakage of the strand 7a. Then, the maintenance worker rushes to the site, performs the replacement work of the rope 7, returns the first movable member 12, the second movable member 22 and the like to the initial positions, and returns the first cam 13 and the roller 18a to the engaged state. Then, the second cam 26 and the first operating member 15 are returned to the engaged state.

  According to the first embodiment, the main detection unit is configured to be rotatable around the first shaft 14, and the first movable member 12 having the first cam 13 formed at the rear end thereof has the first length direction. A first motion member 15 fixed to the tip of the first movable member 12 in parallel with the axial direction of the first shaft 14, and the first motion member in a rope row in which three ropes 7 are arranged in one row. The first operating member 15 is arranged so as to cross one side of the rope row in the rope arrangement direction, with the axial direction of the first shaft 14 aligned with the rope arrangement direction of the rope row. Further, the limit switch 16 has an actuator 18 which is attached to the switch case 17 so that the root side thereof is rotatable around the rotation shaft 18 b, and a roller 18 a is attached to the tip, and the roller 18 a is engaged with the first cam 13. As a combined state, the shaft center of the rotation shaft 18 b and the shaft center of the first shaft 14 are arranged in parallel to each other and located on the same plane orthogonal to the rope 7.

  Therefore, when the strand 7 a that has lifted from the outer peripheral surface of the rope 7 passes through the first operating member 15 regardless of the traveling direction of the rope 7, the first operating member 15 is pressed. Thereby, the 1st movable member 12 rotates around the 1st axis | shaft 14, and generation | occurrence | production of the fracture | rupture of the strand 7a is detectable.

  Moreover, the distance between the 1st action | operation member 15 and the rope 7 is equal in each rope 7, and the shaft center of the 1st axis | shaft 14 and the axis center of the 1st action | operation member 15 are parallel. Therefore, the operating force for rotating the first operating member 15 around the first shaft 14 by the strands 7 a floating from the outer peripheral surface of the rope 7 is equal for each rope 7. Thereby, the occurrence of breakage of the strand 7a can be detected with a uniform detection sensitivity for the three ropes 7.

  Here, when the rope 7 travels in a state in which the strand 7 a that has floated from the outer periphery of the rope 7 is entangled with the first operating member 15 or the second operating member 24, the first operating member 15 or the second operating member 24. May be pulled by the strand 7a and the rope breakage detecting device 10 may be damaged.

  In the first embodiment, after the rope break detection signal is output, when the first movable member 12 rotates around the first shaft 14 beyond the set angle, the roller 18a and the first cam 13 The engagement is released. Therefore, when the engagement between the roller 18a and the first cam 13 is released, the first movable member 12 rotates around the first shaft 14 due to inertia, and the first operation member 15 draws the strand drawn by the travel of the rope 7. It deviates from the locus of 7a. As a result, it is avoided that the rope 7 travels in a state where the strand 7 a is detached from the first operating member 15 and the strand 7 a is entangled with the first operating member 15. Accordingly, the occurrence of a situation in which the rope breakage detecting device 10 is damaged by the rope 7 traveling and being pulled by the strand 7a in which the first operating member 15 is entangled is suppressed.

  When the second movable member 22 rotates around the second shaft 23 beyond the set angle after the rope break detection signal is output, the first operating member 15 and the second cam 26 are engaged. Is released. Therefore, when the engagement between the first operating member 15 and the second cam 26 is released, the second movable member 22 rotates around the second shaft 23 due to inertia, and the second operating member 24 travels on the rope 7. To deviate from the locus of the strand 7a drawn. As a result, it is avoided that the rope 7 travels in a state where the strand 7 a is detached from the second operation member 24 and the strand 7 a is entangled with the second operation member 24. Accordingly, the occurrence of a situation in which the rope breakage detection device 10 is damaged due to the second movement member 24 being pulled by the tangled strand 7a by the travel of the rope 7 is suppressed.

  The first foreign material removal shoe 20 and the second foreign material removal shoe 28 are disposed on both sides of the first operation member 15 and the second operation member 24 in the length direction of the rope 7. Further, the gap d2 is equal to or smaller than the gap d1. Accordingly, the dust and solidified oil adhering to the rope 7 are scraped off by the first foreign matter removing shoe 20 and the second foreign matter removing shoe 28, so that the dust and solidified oil adhering to the rope 7 are removed from the first operating member 15 and the second operation. It is reliably avoided that the member 24 is pressed to turn on the limit switch 16.

  Since the first cover 19 is mounted on the housing 11 so as to cover the limit switch 16, the solidified oil adhering to the rope 7 scatters to the limit switch 16 when the rope 7 travels, and the limit switch 16 Occurrence of a situation that causes a malfunction is suppressed.

  In addition, a main detection unit including the first movable member 12 and the first operation member 15 is disposed on one side of the rope row, and an auxiliary detection unit including the second movable member 22, the second operation member 24, and the torque transmission member 25 is provided. Located on the other side of the rope train. Therefore, since the strands 7a floating from the outer periphery of the rope 7 can be detected on both sides of the rope row, the detection accuracy of occurrence of breakage of the strands 7a can be increased. Further, since the rotational torque obtained by the auxiliary detection unit is transmitted to the main detection unit via the torque transmission member 25, the limit switch 16 may be disposed only on the main detection unit side. Cost reduction is achieved.

  In the first embodiment, the first foreign matter removing shoe 20 and the second foreign matter removing shoe 28 are disposed on both sides of the first operating member 15 and the second operating member 24 in the length direction of the rope 7. The first foreign matter removing shoe 20 and the second foreign matter removing shoe 28 may be disposed on at least one side in the length direction of the rope 7 of the first operating member 15 and the second operating member 24.

Can be applied to the first operating member 15 and the second operating member 24. However, when the traveling speed of the rope 7 is low, the strand 7a that is lifted from the outer periphery of the rope 7 is elastically deformed when it hits the columnar first operating member 15 and the second operating member 24, and the limit switch 16 There is a possibility that the turning force that can turn on the internal switch cannot be applied to the first operating member 15 and the second operating member 24.

  In the second embodiment, the side of the first operating member 15A and the second operating member 24A facing the rope row is an uneven surface, so that even if the traveling speed of the rope 7 is low, it floats from the outer periphery of the rope 7 The strand 7a is caught in the groove 29, and the breakage of the strand 7a can be detected reliably.

  Here, from the viewpoint of facilitating the strand 7a floating from the outer periphery of the rope 7 to be caught in the groove 29, the groove width of the groove 29 is preferably made wider than the diameter of the strand 7a.

  In the first and second embodiments, the first and second operating members are formed in a cylindrical body, but the shape of the first and second operating members is not limited to the cylindrical body, and the rope row is arranged in a rope array. It only needs to have a length that crosses the direction.

  Note that the rope breakage detecting device according to the third embodiment uses the first operating member 15B instead of the first operating member 15, and the second housing 21, the second movable member 22, the second operating member 24, and the torque transmission member. The configuration is the same as that of the first embodiment except that the auxiliary detection unit consisting of 25 is omitted.

  In the third embodiment, the first housing 11 to which the first movable member 12 and the limit switch 16 are attached is placed on one side of the rope train in the vicinity of the sheave 5 where the three ropes 7 are arranged in one row. The first operation member 15B is directed to the rope row, and the lower end portion thereof is temporarily fixed to the machine base 30 so that the axial direction of the first operation member 15 is parallel to the arrangement direction of the rope row. Then, the bolt 153 is loosened, the first operating portion 152 is slid until the bolt 153 contacts one end of the slide hole 154, the bolt 153 is fastened, and the first operating portion 152 is positioned at the first position.

  Next, as shown in FIGS. 5A and 6A, the position of the first housing 11 is adjusted so that the guide surface 156 between the detection surfaces 155 of the first operation unit 152 is in contact with the rope 7. The first housing 11 is fixed to the machine base 30 by adjusting. Next, the bolt 153 is loosened, and the first operating portion 152 is slid until the bolt 153 comes into contact with the other end of the slide hole 154 as shown in FIG. 5B and FIG. And the first operating part 152 is positioned at the second position. At this time, the slide movement amount of the first operation unit 152 is p / 2. As a result, as shown in FIG. 7, the detection surface 155 is arranged such that the center of curvature of the arc surface coincides with the axis O of the rope 7, and the distance between the detection surface 155 and the rope 7 is d1. . Further, the center angle θ of the arc surface is the detection range of the strand 7a.

  According to the third embodiment, the first operating member 15B includes the first fixed portion 151 fixed to the tip of the first movable member 12 with the length direction parallel to the axial direction of the first shaft 14, and the first The first fixed portion 151 is mounted on the first fixed portion 151 so as to be able to reciprocate between the position and the second position shifted from the first position to one side in the length direction of the first fixed portion 151 by half the arrangement pitch p of the rope 7. A first operating unit 152. The guide surface 156 that contacts the rope 7 and the second position only when the surface that protrudes from the first fixed portion 151 of the first operation unit 152 to the rope row side and is opposed to the rope row is located at the first position. Only when it is positioned, it is composed of a rope 7 and a detection surface 155 that is separated by a distance d1.

  Therefore, after the first housing 11 is temporarily fixed to the machine base 30, the first operation unit 152 is positioned at the first position, and then the position of the first housing 11 is adjusted so that the guide surface 156 contacts the rope 7. And fixed to the machine base 30. Thereafter, the distance between the detection surface 155 and the rope 7 is adjusted to d1 by positioning the first operation unit 152 at the second position. Therefore, the troublesome work of adjusting the position of the first housing 11 while measuring the distance between the detection surface 155 and the rope 7 becomes unnecessary, and the rope breakage detecting device can be easily installed.

  Since the detection surface 155 is an arc surface, the detection range is increased as compared with the case where the detection surface is a flat surface. Therefore, the detection accuracy of the strand 7a is increased. The reliability of detecting the rope breakage is improved.

  Here, the detection range of the strand 7a can be appropriately set by changing the central angle θ of the detection surface 155. For example, if the central angle θ of the detection surface 155 is 180 °, the detection range of the strand 7a becomes 180 °. .

In the third embodiment, the detection surface of the first operation unit is an arc surface, but the detection surface is a flat surface formed by a bottom surface of a recess formed by recessing the guide surface by a depth d1. It may be a surface.
In the third embodiment, only the main detection unit is provided, but an auxiliary detection unit may be provided. In this case, the second operation unit of the auxiliary detection unit may be configured in the same manner as the first operation unit of the main detection unit.
Moreover, although each said embodiment demonstrated the case where three ropes were arranged in 1 row, the number of ropes is not limited to three, Two or four or more may be sufficient.
