Embodiment 1

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS It is a block diagram which shows typically the elevator apparatus by Embodiment 1 of this invention. In the figure, a pair of car guide rails 2 are provided in the hoistway 1. The car 3 is guided to the car guide rail 2 to elevate the inside of the hoistway 1. At the upper end of the hoistway 1, a hoist (not shown) for lifting and lowering the car 3 and the counterweight (not shown) is disposed. The main rope 4 is wound around the drive sheave of the hoisting machine. The car 3 and the counterweight are suspended in the hoistway 1 by the main rope 4. The car 3 is mounted with a pair of emergency stop devices 5 as braking means facing each car guide rail 2. Each emergency stop device 5 is arranged in the lower part of the car 3. The car 3 is braked by the operation of each emergency stop device 5.

Moreover, the governor 6 which is a car speed detection means which detects the lifting speed of the car 3 is arrange | positioned at the upper end part of the hoistway 1. The governor 6 has a governor main body 7 and a governor sheave 8 rotatable with respect to the governor main body 7. At the lower end of the hoistway 1, a rotatable tension pulley 9 is arranged. Between the governor sheave 8 and the tension pulley 9, the Gavarner rope 10 connected to the car 3 is wound. The connection part of the gavanner rope 10 with the car 3 is reciprocated up and down with the car 3. For this reason, the governor sheave 8 and the tension pulley 9 are rotated at a speed corresponding to the lifting speed of the car 3.

The governor 6 operates the brake device of the hoisting machine when the lifting speed of the car 3 becomes the first overspeed set in advance. Moreover, the governor 6 is an output part which outputs an operation signal to the emergency stop device 5, when the falling speed of the cage | basket | car 3 becomes the 2nd overspeed (setting overspeed) which is faster than a 1st overspeed. The switch section 11 is provided. The switch portion 11 has a contact portion 16 which is mechanically opened and closed by a speed lever that is displaced according to the centrifugal force of the rotating governor sheave 8. The contact portion 16 is connected to the battery 12, which is an uninterruptible power supply that can be supplied even during a power failure, and the control panel 13 that controls the operation of the elevator, respectively, to the power cable 14 and the connection cable 15. Is electrically connected.

A control cable (moving cable) is connected between the car 3 and the control panel 13. The control cable includes an emergency stop wiring 17 electrically connected between the control panel 13 and each emergency stop device 5 together with a plurality of power lines or signal lines. The electric power from the battery 12 is supplied to the power supply circuit 14, the switch 11, the connection cable 15, the power supply circuit in the control panel 13 and the emergency by the closed electrode of the contact portion 16. It is supplied to each emergency stop device 5 via the stop wire 17. The transmission means also has a connection cable 15, a power supply circuit in the control panel 13, and an emergency stop wiring 17.

FIG. 2 is a front view showing the emergency stop device 5 of FIG. 1, and FIG. 3 is a front view showing the emergency stop device 5 at the time of operation of FIG. In the figure, the support member 18 is fixed to the lower part of the car 3. The emergency stop device 5 is supported by the support member 18. Moreover, each emergency stop device 5 is connected to the wedge 19 and the wedge 19 which are a pair of braking members which can contact and remove with respect to the car guide rail 2, , A pair of actuators 20 for displacing the wedges 19 with respect to the car 3, and a wedge 19 fixed to the support member 18 and displaced by the actuator part 20. It has a pair of guide parts 21 which guide | induce to the direction which contact | connects the car guide rail 2. As shown in FIG. The pair of wedges 19, the pair of actuator portions 20, and the pair of guide portions 21 are disposed symmetrically on both sides of the car guide rail 2, respectively.

The guide part 21 has the inclined surface 22 inclined with respect to the car guide rail 2 so that the space | interval with the car guide rail 2 may become small from the upper side. The wedge 19 is displaced along the inclined surface 22. The actuator part 20 pressurizes the spring 23 by the spring 23 which is a press part which presses the wedge 19 to the upper guide part 21 side, and the electromagnetic force by electricity supply. It has the electromagnetic magnet 24 which displaces the wedge 19 downward so that it may move away from the guide part 21 in resistance.

The spring 23 is connected between the support member 18 and the wedge 19. The electromagnetic magnet 24 is fixed to the support member 18. The emergency stop wiring 17 is connected to the electromagnetic magnet 24. The permanent magnet 25 opposite the electromagnetic magnet 24 is fixed to the wedge 19. The energization of the electromagnetic magnet 24 is made up of the battery 12 (see FIG. 1) by the closed electrode of the contact portion 16 (see FIG. 1). The electric power supply to the electromagnetic magnet 24 is interrupted by the opening of the contact part 16 (refer FIG. 1), and the emergency stop device 5 is operated. That is, the pair of wedges 19 are displaced upward with respect to the car 3 by the elastic restoring force of the spring 23 and pressed against the car guide rail 2.

Next, the operation will be described. In normal operation, the contact portion 16 is closed. For this reason, the electric magnet 24 is supplied with electric power from the battery 12. The wedge 19 is attracted and held by the electromagnetic magnet 24 by the electromagnetic force by electricity supply, and is opened from the car guide rail 2 (FIG. 2).

For example, when the speed of the cage | basket | car 3 rises by the cutting of the main rope 4, etc. and it becomes 1st overspeed, the brake device of a hoisting machine will operate | move. Even after the brake device of the hoisting machine is operated, the contact portion 16 is opened when the speed of the car 3 further increases to become the second overspeed. For this reason, the electricity supply to the electromagnetic magnet 24 of each emergency stop device 5 is interrupted | blocked, and the wedge 19 is displaced upward with respect to the cage | basket | car 3 by the pressurization of the spring 23. As shown in FIG. At this time, the wedge 19 is displaced along the quality inclined surface 22 while contacting the inclined surface 22 of the guide portion 21. By this displacement, the wedge 19 is pressed against the car guide rail 2. The wedge 19 is displaced further upward by the contact with the car guide rail 2 and enters between the car guide rail 2 and the guide part 21. For this reason, a large friction force is generated between the car guide rail 2 and the wedge 19, and the car 3 is braked (FIG. 3).

When the braking of the car 3 is released, the car 3 is lifted in a state in which the electromagnetic magnet 24 is energized by the closed electrode of the contact portion 16. For this reason, the wedge 19 is displaced downward and is opened from the car guide rail 2.

In such an elevator device, since the switch section 11 connected to the battery 12 and each emergency stop device 5 are electrically connected, the abnormality of the speed of the car 3 detected by the governor 6 is transmitted. It is possible to transmit from the switch section 11 to each emergency stop device 5 as an ordinary operation signal, and the car 3 can be braked in a short time after the abnormality of the speed of the car 3 is detected. For this reason, the braking distance of the cage | basket | car 3 can be made small. Moreover, each emergency stop device 5 can be synchronously operated easily, and the car 3 can be stably stopped. In addition, since the emergency stop device 5 is operated by an electric operation signal, it is possible to prevent malfunction due to shaking of the car 3 or the like.

Moreover, the emergency stop device 5 has the actuator part 20 which displaces the wedge 19 to the upper guide part 21 side, and the direction where the wedge 19 displaced upwards is in contact with the car guide rail 2. Since it has the guide part 21 containing the inclined surface 22 which guides to the surface, when the cage | basket | car 3 is descending, the pressing force with respect to the cage | basket | car guide rail 2 of the wedge 19 can be reliably increased. Can be.

Moreover, since the actuator part 20 has the spring 23 which presses the wedge 19 upward, and the electromagnetic magnet 24 which displaces the wedge 19 downward against the pressurization of the spring 23, The wedge 19 can be displaced with a simple configuration.

Embodiment 2

It is a block diagram which shows typically the elevator apparatus by Embodiment 2 of this invention. In the figure, the car 3 has a car body 27 provided with a car door 26 and a car door 28 for opening and closing the car door 26. The hoistway 1 is provided with a car speed sensor 31 which is a car speed detecting means for detecting the speed of the car 3. In the control panel 13, the output part 32 electrically connected to the car speed sensor 31 is mounted. The battery 12 is connected to the output unit 32 via a power cable 14. Electric power for detecting the speed of the car 3 is supplied from the output part 32 to the car speed sensor 31. The speed detection signal from the car speed sensor 31 is input to the output part 32.

The lower part of the car 3 is equipped with a pair of emergency stop devices 33 as braking means for braking the car 3. The output part 32 and each emergency stop device 33 are electrically connected to each other by the emergency stop wiring 17. From the output part 32, the operation signal which is an electric power for operation is output to the emergency stop device 33 when the speed | rate of the cage | basket | car 3 is 2nd overspeed. The emergency stop device 33 is activated by the input of an operation signal.

FIG. 5 is a front view showing the emergency stop device 33 of FIG. 4, and FIG. 6 is a front view showing the emergency stop device 33 at the time of operation of FIG. In the figure, the emergency stop device 33 includes a wedge 34 which is a braking member that can be contacted and detached with respect to the car guide rail 2, an actuator part 35 connected to the lower part of the wedge 34, and a wedge ( It is arrange | positioned above 34 and has the guide part 36 fixed to the car 3. The wedge 34 and the actuator part 35 are provided so that the guide part 36 can move up and down. The wedge 34 is guided in the direction of contact with the car guide rail 2 by the guide portion 36 with upward displacement relative to the guide portion 36, that is, displacement toward the guide portion 36 side. .

The actuator part 35 displaces the contact part 37 in a cylindrical contact part 37 which can contact and detach with respect to the car guide rail 2, and the contact part 37 in a direction of contacting and separating from the car guide rail 2. It has an actuation mechanism 38, the contact part 37, and the support part 39 which supports the actuation mechanism 38. The contact portion 37 is lighter than the wedge 34 so that it can be easily displaced by the operating mechanism 38. The actuating mechanism 38 is capable of reciprocating displacement between the contact position where the contact portion 37 is in contact with the car guide rail 2 and the contact portion 37 with the opening position that is opened from the car guide rail 2. The movable part 40 and the drive part 41 which displaces the movable part 40 are provided.

The support part 39 and the movable part 40 are provided with the support guide hole 42 and the movable guide hole 43, respectively. The inclination angles of the support guide hole 42 and the movable guide hole 43 with respect to the car guide rail 2 are different from each other. The contact portion 37 is slidably attached to the support guide hole 42 and the movable guide hole 43. As for the contact part 37, the movable guide hole 43 slides with the reciprocation displacement of the movable part 40, and is displaced along the longitudinal direction of the support guide hole 42. As shown in FIG. For this reason, the contact part 37 contacts and isolates with the car guide rail 2 at an appropriate angle. When the contact portion 37 contacts the car guide rail 2 when the car 3 descends, the wedge 34 and the actuator portion 35 are braked and displaced toward the guide portion 36 side.

The upper part of the support part 39 is provided with the horizontal guide hole 47 extended in the horizontal direction. The wedge 34 is slidably attached to the horizontal guide hole 47. That is, the wedge 34 is capable of reciprocating displacement in the horizontal direction with respect to the support part 39.

The guide part 36 has the inclined surface 44 and the contact surface 45 arrange | positioned so that the car guide rail 2 may be interposed. The inclined surface 44 is inclined with respect to the car guide rail 2 so that the space | interval with the car guide rail 2 may become small from the upper side. The contact surface 45 is able to contact and detach with respect to the car guide rail 2. With the upward displacement of the wedge 34 and the guide portion 36 of the actuator portion 35, the wedge 34 is displaced along the inclined surface 44. For this reason, the wedge 34 and the contact surface 45 are displaced so that they may approach each other, and the car guide rail 2 is fitted by the wedge 34 and the contact surface 45, and is attached.

FIG. 7 is a front view illustrating the driving unit 41 of FIG. 6. In the figure, the drive part 41 has the disk spring 46 which is a press part attached to the movable part 40, and the electromagnetic magnet 48 which displaces the movable part 40 by the electromagnetic force by electricity supply.

The movable portion 40 is fixed to the center portion of the disc spring 46. The disc spring 46 is deformed by the reciprocating displacement of the movable portion 40. The direction of pressurization of the disk spring 46 is reversed between the contact position (solid line) and the open position (two dashed line) of the movable part 40 by the deformation | transformation by the displacement of the movable part 40. FIG. The movable part 40 is hold | maintained in the contact position and the open position, respectively, by the press of the disk spring 46. FIG. That is, the contact state and the open state of the contact portion 37 with respect to the car guide rail 2 are maintained by the pressure of the disc spring 46.

The electron magnet 48 has the 1st electronic part 49 fixed to the movable part 40, and the 2nd electronic part 50 arrange | positioned facing the 1st electronic part 49. As shown in FIG. The movable part 40 is displaceable with respect to the 2nd electronic part 50. As shown in FIG. The emergency stop wiring 17 is connected to the electromagnetic magnet 48. The first electronic part 49 and the second electronic part 50 generate an electromagnetic force by the input of an operation signal to the electromagnetic magnet 48 and repel each other. That is, the first electronic part 49 is displaced in the direction away from the second electronic part 50 together with the movable part 40 by the input of the operation signal to the electromagnetic magnet 48.

Moreover, the output part 32 outputs the return signal for the return after the operation | movement of the emergency stop mechanism 5 at the time of return. The first electronic part 49 and the second electronic part 50 are attracted to each other by input of a return signal to the electromagnetic magnet 48. The other configuration is the same as that in the first embodiment.

Next, the operation will be described. In the normal operation, the movable portion 40 is located at the open position, and the contact portion 37 is opened from the car guide rail 2 by the pressure of the disc spring 46. In the state where the contact portion 37 is opened from the car guide rail 2, the wedge 34 is kept from the car guide rail 2 and is separated from the car guide rail 2.

When the car speed sensor 31 and the detected speed become the first overspeed, the brake device of the hoisting machine operates. After this, when the speed of the car 3 rises and the speed detected by the car speed sensor 31 becomes the 2nd overspeed, an operation signal is output from the output part 32 to each emergency stop apparatus 33. As shown in FIG. By the input of the operation signal to the electromagnetic magnet 48, the first electronic part 49 and the second electronic part 50 are repulsed with each other. By this electromagnetic repulsive force, the movable part 40 is displaced to the contact position. In connection with this, the contact part 37 is displaced in the direction which contacts the car guide rail 2. The direction of pressurization of the disk spring 46 is reversed in the direction of holding the movable part 40 in the contact position until the movable part 40 reaches the contact position. For this reason, the contact part 37 is pressed against the cage guide rail 2, and the wedge 34 and the actuator part 35 are braked.

Since the car 3 and the guide part 36 are lowered without braking, the guide part 36 is displaced toward the lower wedge 34 and the actuator part 35 side. By this displacement, the wedge 34 is guided along the inclined surface 44, and the car guide rail 2 is fitted by the wedge 34 and the contact surface 45. The wedge 34 is displaced further upward by the contact with the car guide rail 2 and enters between the car guide rail 2 and the inclined surface 44. As a result, a large friction force is generated between the car guide rail 2 and the wedge 34 and between the car guide rail 2 and the contact surface 45 to brake the car 3.

At the time of return, the return signal is transmitted from the output part 32 to the electromagnetic magnet 48. For this reason, the 1st electronic part 49 and the 2nd electronic part 50 are mutually attracted, and the movable part 40 is displaced to an opening position. In connection with this, the contact part 37 is displaced in the direction to open with respect to the car guide rail 2. The direction of pressurization of the disk spring 46 is reversed until the movable part 40 reaches the opening position, and the movable part 40 is maintained at the opening position. In this state, the car 3 is raised and the pressurization of the wedge 34 and the contact surface 45 to the car guide rail 2 is released.

In such an elevator apparatus, the car speed sensor 31 is provided in the hoistway 1 to detect the speed of the car 3 while exhibiting the same effects as those of the first embodiment. It is not necessary to use a rope, and the installation space of the whole elevator apparatus can be made small.

Moreover, the actuator part 35 actuates 38 which displaces the contact part 37 in the direction which contacts and isolate | separates the contact part 37 which can contact and isolate | separate the car guide rail 2, and the car guide rail 2. As shown in FIG. Since the weight of the contact part 37 is lighter than the wedge 34, the driving force with respect to the contact part 37 of the actuation mechanism 38 can be made small, and the actuation mechanism 38 can be miniaturized. In addition, by making the contact portion 37 lightweight, the displacement speed of the contact portion 37 can be increased, and the time required before generating the braking force can be shortened.

Moreover, since the drive part 41 has the disk spring 46 which keeps the movable part 40 in a contact position and an open position, and the electromagnetic magnet 48 which displaces the movable part 40 by energization, the movable part 40 is carried out. Only at the time of displacement, the moving part 40 can be reliably held in a contact position or an opening position by the energization of the electromagnetic magnet 48.

Embodiment 3

It is a block diagram which shows typically the elevator apparatus by Embodiment 3 of this invention. In the figure, the car doorway 26 is provided with the door open / close sensor 58 which is a door open / close detection means which detects the open / close state of the car door 28. As shown in FIG. The output part 59 mounted in the control panel 13 is connected to the door opening / closing sensor 58 via a control cable. The car speed sensor 31 is electrically connected to the output unit 59. The speed detection signal from the car speed sensor 31 and the open / close detection signal from the door open / close sensor 58 are input to the output unit 59. In the output part 59, the speed of the cage | basket | car 3 and the opening / closing state of the cage | basket | car doorway 26 are grasped | ascertained by input of a speed detection signal and an opening / closing detection signal.

The output part 59 is connected to the emergency stop device 33 via the emergency stop wiring 17. The output unit 59 receives the speed detection signal from the car speed sensor 31 and the opening / closing detection signal from the door opening / closing sensor 58 so that the car 3 is opened in the state where the car door 26 is open. When it is raised and lowered, an operation signal is output. The operation signal is transmitted to the emergency stop device 33 through the emergency stop wiring 17. The other configuration is the same as that of the second embodiment.

In such an elevator apparatus, a car speed sensor 31 for detecting the speed of the car 3 and a door opening / closing sensor 58 for detecting the open / close state of the car door 28 are electrically connected to the output unit 59. And the operation signal is output from the output unit 59 to the emergency stop device 33 when the car 3 descends while the car door 26 is open, the car door 26 ) Can prevent the car 3 from falling in the open state.

Moreover, you may attach to the cage | basket | car 3 again which made the emergency stop device 33 reverse up and down. In this way, the rise of the car 3 in the state in which the car entrance 26 is open can also be prevented.

Embodiment 4

It is a block diagram which shows typically the elevator apparatus by Embodiment 4 of this invention. In the drawing, the cutting detection conductor 61, which is a rope piece detecting means for detecting the cutting of the main rope 4, is inserted into the main rope 4. A weak current flows through the cutoff detection lead 61. The presence or absence of the cutting of the main rope 4 is detected by the presence or absence of energization of the weak current. The output part 62 mounted in the control panel 13 is electrically connected to the disconnection detection lead 61. When the cut detection lead 61 is cut off, a rope cut signal that is a cutoff signal of energization of the cut detection lead 61 is input to the output unit 62. The car speed sensor 31 is electrically connected to the output part 62.

The output part 62 is connected to the emergency stop apparatus 33 via the emergency stop wiring 17. The output part 62 outputs an operation signal at the time of the cutting of the main rope 4 by the speed detection signal from the car speed sensor 31 and the rope cutting signal from the cut detection lead 61. . The operation signal is transmitted to the emergency stop device 33 through the emergency stop wiring 17. The other configuration is the same as that of the second embodiment.

In such an elevator apparatus, the car speed sensor 31 which detects the speed of the car 3 and the cut detection lead 61 which detects the cutting of the main rope 4 are electrically connected to the output part 62. Since the operation signal is output from the output part 62 to the emergency stop device 33 at the time of cutting off the main rope 4, the detection of the speed of the car 3 and the cutting of the main rope 4 are performed. By detecting, the car 3 which descends at an abnormal speed can be reliably braked.

Further, in the above example, a method of detecting the presence or absence of energization of the cut detection lead 61 inserted into the main rope 4 is used as the rope fragment detection means. For example, the tension of the main rope 4 is used. You can also use the method of measuring the change of).

It has a linear encoder for detecting the position of the car 3, or a light emitter and a light receiver installed in the hoistway 1, and a reflector plate provided in the car 3, and the light from the light emitter to the light receiver of the light receiver. The optical displacement measuring device etc. which detect the position of the cage | basket | car 3 by measuring the time taken are mentioned.

The monitoring device 108 detects a storage unit (memory unit) 113 in which a plurality of kinds of abnormality determination criteria (setting data) serving as criteria for determining the presence or absence of an abnormality of an elevator (two types in this example) are stored in advance. It has an output part (operation part) 114 which detects the presence or absence of an abnormality of an elevator by each information of the means 112 and the memory | storage part 113. As shown in FIG. In this example, the storage unit 113 stores the vehicle speed abnormality determination standard, which is an abnormality determination standard for the speed of the car 3, and the car acceleration abnormality determination standard, which is the abnormality determination standard for the acceleration of the car 3, in the storage unit 113. It is.

19 is a graph showing a criterion for determining an abnormality of the car speed stored in the storage unit 113 of FIG. In the figure, the lifting section (the section between one longitudinal stage and the other longitudinal stage) of the car 3 in the hoistway 1 is located near one longitudinal stage and the other. An acceleration / deceleration section in which the car 3 is accelerated and decelerated, and a constant speed section in which the car 3 moves at a constant speed are set between each acceleration / deceleration section.

In the car speed abnormality determination criterion, a three-step detection pattern is set corresponding to the position of the car 3. That is, the standard speed detection pattern (normal level) 115 which is the speed of the car 3 at the time of normal operation, and the 1st abnormal speed which became a value larger than the normal speed detection pattern 115 are included in the car speed abnormality determination criterion. The detection pattern (first abnormal level) 116 and the second abnormal speed detection pattern (second abnormal level) 117 having a value larger than the first abnormal speed detection pattern 116 are respectively used for the car 3. It is set corresponding to the position.

The normal speed detection pattern 115, the first abnormal speed detection pattern 116, and the second abnormal speed detection pattern 117 are set to be constant values in the constant speed section, and to continuously decrease toward the vertical stage in the acceleration / deceleration section. It is. In addition, the difference between the first abnormal speed detection pattern 116 and the normal speed detection pattern 115 and the difference between the second abnormal speed detection pattern 117 and the first abnormal speed detection pattern 116 are all in the lifting section. Each is set to be substantially constant at the position.

FIG. 20 is a graph showing a criterion for determining an abnormality of car acceleration abnormality stored in the storage unit 113 of FIG. 18. In the figure, the three-step detection pattern is set corresponding to the position of the car 3 in the car acceleration abnormality determination criterion. That is, the vehicle acceleration abnormality determination criterion includes a normal acceleration detection pattern (normal level) 118 which is an acceleration of the car 3 during normal operation, and a first abnormal acceleration that is larger than the normal acceleration detection pattern 118. The detection pattern (first abnormal level) 119 and the second abnormal acceleration detection pattern (second abnormal level) 120 having a value larger than the first abnormal acceleration detection pattern 119 are respectively used for the car 3. It is set corresponding to the position.

The normal acceleration detection pattern 118, the first abnormal acceleration detection pattern 119, and the second abnormal acceleration detection pattern 120 are set to zero values in the constant speed section, and are positive in one acceleration / deceleration section. In the other acceleration / deceleration section, it is set so as to be a negative value. In addition, the difference between the first abnormal acceleration detection pattern 119 and the normal acceleration detection pattern 118 and the difference between the second abnormal acceleration detection pattern 120 and the first abnormal acceleration detection pattern 119 are all in the lifting section. Each is set so as to be substantially constant at the position.

That is, the normal speed detection pattern 115, the 1st abnormal speed detection pattern 116, and the 2nd abnormal speed detection pattern 117 are memorize | stored in the memory | storage 113 as a car speed abnormality determination criterion, and a normal acceleration detection pattern 118, the 1st abnormal acceleration detection pattern 119, and the 2nd abnormal acceleration detection pattern 120 are memorize | stored as a car acceleration abnormality determination criterion.

The emergency stop device 33, the control panel 102, the brake device 106 for the hoisting machine, the detection unit 112, and the storage unit 113 are electrically connected to the output unit 114, respectively. Moreover, the output part 114 has the position detection signal from the car position sensor 109, and the speed detection signal from the car speed sensor 110, and the acceleration detection signal from the car acceleration sensor 111, respectively. Continue to enter. In the output unit 114, the position of the car 3 is calculated based on the input of the position detection signal, and the speed and the car of the car 3 based on the respective inputs of the speed detection signal and the acceleration detection signal. The acceleration of (3) is computed as an abnormality judgment element of multiple types (two types in this example), respectively.

When the speed of the car 3 exceeds the 1st abnormal speed detection pattern 116, or the acceleration of the car 3 exceeded the 1st abnormal acceleration detection pattern 119, the output part 114 And an operation signal (trigger signal) is output to the hoisting brake device 104. Moreover, the output part 114 outputs the stop signal for stopping the drive of the hoist 101 to the control panel 102 simultaneously with the output of the operation signal to the hoist brake device 104. In addition, the output unit 114, when the speed of the car 3 exceeds the second abnormal speed detection pattern 117, or the acceleration of the car 3 exceeds the second abnormal acceleration detection pattern 120 When doing so, an operation signal is output to the brake device 104 and the emergency stop device 33 for the hoisting machine. That is, the output part 114 determines the braking means which outputs an operation signal according to the abnormality of the speed and acceleration of the car 3.

The other configuration is the same as that of the second embodiment.

Next, the operation will be described. When the position detection signal from the car position sensor 109, the speed detection signal from the car speed sensor 110, and the acceleration detection signal from the car acceleration sensor 111 are input to the output unit 114, the output is output. The unit 114 calculates the position, speed, and acceleration of the car 3 based on the input of each detection signal. Thereafter, the output unit 114 determines the speed of the car 3 calculated based on the input of the car speed abnormality determination criterion and the car acceleration abnormality determination criterion respectively obtained from the storage unit 113 and the input of each detection signal. And acceleration are compared, and the presence or absence of respective abnormalities of the speed and acceleration of the car 3 are detected.

During normal operation, the speed of the car 3 becomes approximately the same value as the normal speed detection pattern, and the acceleration of the car 3 becomes approximately the same value as the normal acceleration detection pattern. It is detected that there is no abnormality in each of the speed and acceleration in (3), and the normal operation of the elevator is continued.

For example, when the speed of the car 3 abnormally rises for some reason and exceeds the 1st abnormal speed detection pattern 116, it is the output part 114 that the speed of the car 3 is abnormal. Are detected and the stop signal is output to the control panel 102 from the output unit 114, respectively. As a result, the hoisting machine 101 is stopped and the hoisting brake device 106 is operated to brake the rotation of the drive sheave 104.

In addition, even when the acceleration of the car 3 abnormally rises and exceeds the first abnormal acceleration setting value 119, the operation signal and the stop signal are output to the hoisting brake device 106 and the control panel 102. Outputted from 114 respectively, the rotation of the drive sheave 104 is braked.

After the hoisting brake device 106 is operated, when the speed of the car 3 further increases and exceeds the second abnormal speed set value 117, the output of the operation signal to the hoisting brake device 106 is maintained. In addition, the operation signal is output from the output part 114 to the emergency stop device 33. As a result, the emergency stop device 33 is operated, and the car 3 is braked by the same operation as in the second embodiment.

Moreover, even after the operation of the hoisting brake device 106, the acceleration of the car 3 further rises and exceeds the second or more acceleration setting value 120, the operation signal to the hoisting brake device 106 is also applied. While maintaining the output, the operation signal is output from the output section 114 to the emergency stop device 33 to operate the emergency stop device 33.

In such an elevator apparatus, the monitoring apparatus 108 acquires the speed of the car 3 and the acceleration of the car 3 based on the information from the detection means 112 which detects the state of an elevator, and acquired the car. When the abnormality of any one of the speed of (3) and the acceleration of the car 3 is judged, since an operation signal is output to at least one of the hoist brake device 106 and the emergency stop device 33, monitoring is performed. The abnormality detection of the elevator by the apparatus 108 can be made earlier and more reliably, and the time taken until the braking force to the cage | basket | car 3 generate | occur | produces after an abnormality of an elevator arises can be made shorter. That is, the presence or absence of abnormality of a plurality of types of abnormality determination elements such as the speed of the car 3 and the acceleration of the car 3 is judged separately by the monitoring device 108, and therefore, the elevator by the monitoring device 108. The abnormality detection can be made earlier and more reliably, and the time taken for the braking force to the car 3 to occur after the occurrence of the abnormality in the elevator can be shortened.

In addition, the monitoring device 108 determines a car speed abnormality determination criterion for determining whether or not the speed of the car 3 is abnormal, and a car acceleration abnormality criterion for determining whether or not the acceleration of the car 3 is abnormal. Since it has the memory | storage part 113 memorize | stored, the criterion of the abnormality of each of the speed | rate and acceleration of the car 3 can be changed easily, and it can also respond easily to a design change etc. of an elevator.

In addition, the car speed abnormality determination criteria includes a normal speed detection pattern 115, a first abnormal speed detection pattern 116 having a value larger than the normal speed detection pattern 115, and a first abnormal speed detection pattern 116. When the second abnormal speed detection pattern 117 is set to a larger value and the speed of the car 3 exceeds the first abnormal speed detection pattern 116, the brake device for the hoist from the monitoring device 108 The operation signal is output to the 106 and the brake device 106 and the emergency stop device 33 for the hoist from the monitoring device 108 when the speed of the car 3 exceeds the second abnormal speed detection pattern 117. Since the operation signal is output to), the car 3 can be braked in stages according to the magnitude | size of the abnormality of the speed of the car 3. Therefore, the frequency of giving a big impact to the car 3 can be reduced, and the car 3 can be stopped more reliably.

In addition, the car acceleration abnormality determination criteria includes a normal acceleration detection pattern 118, a first abnormal acceleration detection pattern 119 having a value larger than the normal acceleration detection pattern 118, and a first abnormal acceleration detection pattern 119. When the second abnormal acceleration detection pattern 120 is set to a larger value, and the acceleration of the car 3 exceeds the first abnormal acceleration detection pattern 119, the brake device for the hoist from the monitoring device 108 An operation signal is output to the 106, and the brake device 106 and the emergency stop device 33 for the hoist from the monitoring device 108 when the acceleration of the car 3 exceeds the second abnormal speed detection pattern 120. Since the operation signal is output to), the car 3 can be braked in stages according to the abnormal magnitude of the acceleration of the car 3. Usually, since an abnormality occurs in the acceleration of the car 3 before the abnormality occurs in the speed of the car 3, the frequency of giving a big shock to the car 3 can be further reduced, and the car (3) can be stopped more reliably.

Moreover, since the normal speed detection pattern 115, the 1st abnormal speed detection pattern 116, and the 2nd abnormal speed detection pattern 117 are set corresponding to the position of the car 3, the 1st abnormal speed detection pattern Each of 116 and the second abnormal speed detection pattern 117 can be set in correspondence with the normal speed detection pattern 115 at all positions of the elevating section of the car 3. Therefore, especially in the acceleration / deceleration section, since the value of the normal speed detection pattern 115 is small, each of the first abnormal speed detection pattern 116 and the second abnormal speed detection pattern 117 can be set to a relatively small value. The impact on the car 3 by braking can be reduced.

Also, in the above example, the car speed sensor 110 is used to allow the monitoring device 108 to acquire the speed of the car 3, but without using the car speed sensor 110, the car position is used. The speed of the car 3 may be derived from the position of the car 3 detected by the sensor 109. In other words, the speed of the car 3 may be determined by differentiating the position of the car 3 calculated by the position detection signal from the car position sensor 109.

In the above example, the car acceleration sensor 111 is used to allow the monitoring device 108 to acquire the acceleration of the car 3, but the car position is not used without the car acceleration sensor 111 being used. The acceleration of the car 3 may be derived from the position of the car 3 detected by the sensor 109. In other words, the acceleration of the car 3 may be obtained by differentiating the position of the car 3 calculated by the position detection signal from the car position sensor 109 twice.

Moreover, in the above example, although the output part 114 determines the braking means which outputs an operation signal according to the abnormality of the speed and acceleration of the car 3 which are each abnormality determination elements, it outputs an operation signal. The braking means may be determined in advance for each abnormality determination element.

Embodiment 12

It is a block diagram which shows typically the elevator apparatus which concerns on Embodiment 12 of this invention. In the figure, a plurality of platform call buttons 125 are provided in the platform of each floor. In addition, a plurality of destination floor buttons 126 are provided in the car 3. In addition, the monitoring device 127 has an output unit 114. The abnormality criterion generation | generation apparatus 128 which produces | generates a cage | basket | car speed abnormality determination criterion and a car acceleration abnormality determination criterion is electrically connected to the output part 114. FIG. The abnormality determination reference generation device 128 is electrically connected to each of the boarding point call buttons 125 and each of the destination floor buttons 126. The position determination signal is input to the abnormality determination reference generation device 128 from the car position sensor 109 through the output unit 114.

The abnormality determination standard generating device 128 stores a plurality of car speed abnormality determination criteria and a plurality of car acceleration abnormality determination criteria, which are abnormality determination criteria for all cases in which the car 3 moves up and down between floors. The storage unit (memory unit) 129, the car speed abnormality determination criteria, and the car acceleration abnormality determination criteria are selected one by one from the storage unit 129, and the selected car speed abnormality determination criteria and the car acceleration abnormality determination criteria are selected. It has the generation part 130 which outputs to the output part 114. FIG.

In each car speed abnormality determination criterion, the three-step detection pattern similar to the car speed abnormality determination criterion shown in FIG. 19 of Embodiment 11 is set corresponding to the position of the car 3. Moreover, in each car acceleration abnormality determination criterion, the detection pattern of three steps similar to the car acceleration abnormality determination criteria shown in FIG. 20 of Embodiment 11 is set corresponding to the position of the car 3.

The generation unit 130 calculates the detected position of the car 3 based on the information from the car position sensor 109, and from at least one of the platform call button 125 and the destination floor button 126. Based on the information, the target floor of the car 3 is calculated. In addition, the generation unit 130 selects a car speed abnormality determination criterion and a car acceleration abnormality determination criterion, each of which has the calculated detection position and the target floor as the end stages of one and the other.

The other configuration is the same as that of the eleventh embodiment.

Next, the operation will be described. The position detection signal is always input into the generation unit 130 from the car position sensor 109 through the output unit 114. When either the boarding point call button 125 or the destination floor button 126 is selected by a passenger etc., for example, and a call signal is input into the generation | generation part 130 from the selected button, the generation part 130 will position. The detection position and the target floor of the car 3 are calculated based on the input of the detection signal and the call signal, and the car speed abnormality determination criteria and the car acceleration abnormality determination criteria are selected one by one. Thereafter, the generation unit 130 outputs the selected car speed abnormality determination criterion and the car acceleration abnormality determination criterion to the output unit 114.

In the output part 114, the presence or absence of each abnormality of the speed and acceleration of the car 3 is detected similarly to Embodiment 11. As shown in FIG. The subsequent operation is the same as that of the ninth embodiment.

In such an elevator apparatus, the abnormality criterion generating device generates the car speed abnormality criterion and the car acceleration judgment criterion based on information from at least one of the platform call button 125 and the destination floor button 126. Therefore, it is possible to generate a car speed abnormality determination criterion and a car acceleration abnormality determination criterion corresponding to the target floor, and even if another target floor is selected, it is possible to shorten the time taken from the occurrence of the elevator failure to the occurrence of the braking force. Can be.

In the above example, the generation unit 130 determines the car speed abnormality determination standard and the car acceleration abnormality from the plurality of car speed abnormality determination criteria and the plurality of car acceleration abnormality determination criteria stored in the storage unit 129. Although the reference is selected one by one, the abnormal speed detection pattern and the abnormal acceleration detection pattern may be directly generated based on the normal speed pattern and the normal acceleration pattern of the car 3 generated by the control panel 102, respectively.

Embodiment 13

It is a block diagram which shows typically the elevator apparatus which concerns on Embodiment 13 of this invention. In this example, each main rope 4 is connected to the upper portion of the car 3 by the rope fixing device 131. The monitoring device 108 is mounted on the upper part of the car 3. The output section 114 is provided with a car position sensor 109, a car speed sensor 110, and a rope fixing device 131, and rope cutting detection for detecting the presence or absence of breakage of each main rope 4, respectively. A plurality of denier rope sensors 132 are electrically connected to each other. In addition, the detection means 112 has a car position sensor 109, a car speed sensor 110, and a rope sensor 132.

Each rope sensor 132 outputs a break detection signal to the output unit 114 when the main rope 4 breaks. In addition, the memory | storage part 113 memorize | stores the car abnormality determination criteria similar to the eleventh embodiment shown in FIG. 19, and the rope abnormality determination criterion which is a criterion which judges the presence or absence of the abnormality with respect to the main loaf 4.

In the rope abnormality determination criterion, the first abnormal level in which the at least one main rope 4 is broken and the second abnormal level in which all the main ropes 4 are broken are set, respectively.

In the output unit 114, the position of the car 3 is calculated based on the input of the position detection signal, and the speed and the main rope of the car 3 are based on the respective inputs of the speed detection signal and the breaking signal. The state of 4) is computed as an abnormality judgment element of multiple types (two types in this example), respectively.

The output unit 114 is a brake device for a hoist when the speed of the car 3 exceeds the first abnormal speed detection pattern 116 (FIG. 19) or when at least one main shaft 4 breaks. An operation signal (trigger signal) is outputted to 104. Moreover, the output part 114 is a brake device for hoisting machines when the speed | rate of the cage | basket | car 3 exceeded the 2nd abnormal speed detection pattern 117 (FIG. 19), or when all the main ropes 4 broke. An operation signal is output to the 104 and the emergency stop device 33. That is, the output part 114 determines the braking means which outputs an operation signal according to the speed | rate of the cage | basket | car 3 and the abnormality of each state of the main drive 4, respectively.

FIG. 23 is a configuration diagram showing the rope fixing device 131 and each rope sensor 132 of FIG. 22. 24 is a block diagram which shows the state in which the one main 4 of FIG. 23 was broken. In the figure, the rope fixing device 131 has a plurality of rope connecting portions 134 that connect each main rope 4 to the car 3. Each rope connection part 134 has an elastic spring 133 interposed between the main rope 4 and the car 3. The position of each car 4 of the car 3 is displaceable by expansion and contraction of each elastic spring 133.

The rope sensor 132 is provided at each rope connection part 134. Each rope sensor 132 is a displacement measuring device for measuring the amount of extension of the elastic spring 133. Each rope sensor 132 always outputs the measurement signal corresponding to the amount of extension of the elastic spring 133 to the output unit 14. The measurement signal at the time when the amount of elongation by restoration of the elastic spring 133 reaches a predetermined amount is input to the output part 114 as a break detection signal. Moreover, you may install the scale apparatus which directly measures the tension of each main pipe 4 in each rope connection part 134 as a rope sensor.

The other configuration is the same as that of the eleventh embodiment.

Next, the operation will be described. When the position detection signal from the car position sensor 109, the speed detection signal from the car speed sensor 110, and the break detection signal from each rope sensor 131 are input to the output unit 114, the output unit is output. In 114, the position of the car 3, the speed of the car 3, and the number of breaks of the main rope 4 are calculated based on the input of each detection signal. Thereafter, the output unit 114 determines the speed and the height of the car 3 calculated based on the input of the car speed abnormality determination criterion and the rope abnormality determination criterion respectively obtained from the storage unit 113 and the respective detection signals. The number of breaks of the rope 4 is compared, and the presence or absence of abnormality in each of the speeds of the car 3 and the state of the main rope 4 is detected.

In normal operation, the speed of the car 3 is approximately the same value as the normal speed detection pattern, and since the number of breaks of the main rope 4 is zero, the speed and the main speed of the car 3 in the output unit 114. It is detected that there is no abnormality in each state of the rope 4, and the normal operation of the elevator is continued.

For example, when the speed of the car 3 rises abnormally for some reason and exceeds the 1st abnormal speed detection pattern 116 (FIG. 19), it is output that the speed of the car 3 is abnormal. The operation signal is detected by the unit 114, and the stop signal is output from the output unit 114 to the control panel 102, respectively. As a result, the hoisting machine 101 is stopped and the hoisting brake device 106 is operated to brake the rotation of the drive sheave 104.

In addition, even when the at least one main rope 4 breaks, an operation signal and a stop signal are respectively output from the output unit 114 to the hoisting brake device 106 and the control panel 102, and the driving sheave 104 is provided. Rotation is braked.

After the hoisting brake device 106 is operated, the operation signal to the hoisting brake device 106 when the speed of the car 3 further rises and exceeds the second abnormal speed set value 117 (FIG. 19). The operation signal is output from the output unit 114 to the emergency stop device 33 while maintaining the output of the. As a result, the emergency stop device 33 is operated, and the car 3 is braked by the same operation as in the second embodiment.

In addition, even when all the main ropes 4 are broken after the hoisting brake device 106 is operated, the emergency stop from the output unit 114 is maintained while the output of the operation signal to the hoisting brake device 106 is maintained. An operation signal is output to the device 33 to activate the emergency stop device 33.

In such an elevator apparatus, the monitoring apparatus 108 acquires the speed of the car 3 and the state of the main rope 4 based on the information from the detection means 112 which detects the state of the elevator, and acquired the car. When it is determined that any one of the speed of (3) and the state of the main rope 4 is abnormal, an operation signal is output to at least one of the hoisting brake device 106 and the emergency stop device 33. The number of abnormality detection targets increases, and not only an abnormality of the speed of the car 3 but also an abnormality of the state of the main rope 4 can be detected, and the abnormality detection of the elevator by the monitoring device 108 can be detected earlier. I can be sure. Therefore, the time taken until the braking force to the cage | basket | car 3 generate | occur | produces after abnormality of an elevator generate | occur | produces can be shortened.

In addition, although the rope sensor 132 is provided in the rope fixing device 131 provided in the car 3 in the said example, you may provide the rope sensor 132 in the rope fixing device provided in the counterweight 107. As shown in FIG.

In the above example, one end and the other end of the main rope 4 are connected to the car 3 and the counterweight 107, respectively, and the car 3 and the counterweight 107 are suspended in the hoistway 1. Although the present invention is applied to an elevator device of the type, the main rope 4 having one end and the other end connected to the structure in the hoistway 1 is wound on a suspension sheave and a balance weight suspension sheave, respectively. You may apply this invention to the elevator apparatus of the type which hangs the cage | basket | car 3 and the counterweight 107 in the hoistway 1. As shown in FIG. In this case, the rope sensor is installed in the rope fixing device installed in the structure in the hoistway 1.

Embodiment 14

It is a block diagram which shows typically the elevator apparatus which concerns on Embodiment 14 of this invention. In this example, the rope sensor 135 as the rope break detection unit is a conductor wire embedded in each main rope 4. Each lead extends in the longitudinal direction of the main rope 4. One end and the other end of each lead are electrically connected to the output part 114, respectively. A weak current flows through each wire. The cutoff of the energization to each conducting wire is input to the output part 114 as a break detection signal.

Other configurations and operations are the same as those of the thirteenth embodiment.

In such an elevator apparatus, since the breakage of each main circuit 4 is detected by interruption of the conduction to the conducting wires embedded in the respective main bridges 4, the respective main streams 4 due to the acceleration and deceleration of the car 3 are detected. The presence or absence of breakage of each main rope 4 can be detected more reliably without being influenced by the tension change of).

Embodiment 15

It is a block diagram which shows typically the elevator apparatus by Embodiment 15 of this invention. In the figure, a door sensor 140, which is an door opening / closing detection unit for detecting the opening / closing state of the car position sensor 109, the car speed sensor 110, and the car doorway 26, is electrically connected to the output unit 114. Is connected. In addition, the detection means 112 has a car position sensor 109, a car speed sensor 110, and a door sensor 140.

The door sensor 140 outputs a door closing detection signal to the output unit 114 when the car doorway 26 is in the door closing state. Incidentally, the storage unit 113 includes a door speed abnormality determination criterion as in the eleventh embodiment as shown in FIG. 19 and a doorway state abnormality determination criterion which is a criterion for judging whether there is an abnormality in the open / closed state of the car doorway 26. I remember this. The door state abnormality determination criterion is an abnormality determination criterion in which the state in which the car 3 is lifted and the door is not closed is abnormal.

In the output section 114, the position of the car 3 is calculated based on the input of the position detection signal, and the speed and the elevator of the car 3 based on the respective inputs of the speed detection signal and the door closing detection signal. The state of the compartment doorway 26 is computed as an abnormality determination element of multiple types (two types in this example), respectively.

The output part 114 is a case where the car 3 is elevating in the state in which the doorway 26 is not closed, or the speed of the car 3 is the 1st abnormal speed detection pattern 116 (FIG. When it exceeds 19), an operation signal is output to the brake device 104 for hoisting machines. Moreover, the output part 114 operates to the hoist brake device 104 and the emergency stop device 33 when the speed of the car 3 exceeds the 2nd abnormal speed detection pattern 117 (FIG. 19). It is to output the signal.

FIG. 27 is a perspective view illustrating the car 3 and the door sensor 140 of FIG. 26. 28 is a perspective view showing a state in which the doorway 26 of the car of FIG. 27 is open. In the figure, the door sensor 140 is disposed above the car entrance 26 and in the center of the car entrance 26 with respect to the width direction of the car 3. The door sensor 140 detects the displacement of each of the pair of car doors 28 to the door closing position, and outputs a door closing detection signal to the output unit 114.

Examples of the door sensor 140 include a contact sensor that detects a door closed state by contacting a fixed part fixed to each car door 28, or a proximity sensor that detects a door closed state non-contact. Further, the landing doorway 141 is provided with a pair of landing doors 142 that open and close the landing doorway 141. Each landing door 142 is engaged to each of the car doors 28 by an engaging device (not shown) when the car 3 is landing on the lifting floor, together with each car door 28. Is displaced.

The other configuration is the same as that of the eleventh embodiment.

Next, the operation will be described. When the position detection signal from the car position sensor 109, the speed detection signal from the car speed sensor 110, and the door closing detection signal from the door sensor 140 are input to the output unit 114, the output unit is output. In 114, the position of the car 3, the speed of the car 3, and the state of the car doorway 26 are calculated based on the input of each detection signal. Thereafter, the output unit 114 determines the speed and angle of the car 3 calculated based on the input of the car speed abnormality determination criterion and the door abnormality determination criterion respectively obtained from the storage unit 113 and the input of each detection signal. The state of the car door 28 is compared, and the presence or absence of abnormality in each of the speed of the car 3 and the state of the car doorway 26 is detected.

During normal operation, the speed of the car 3 is approximately the same value as the normal speed detection pattern, and the car doorway 26 when the car 3 is moving up and down is closed, so the output unit 114 ), It is detected that there is no abnormality in each of the speed of the car 3 and the state of the car doorway 26, and the normal operation of the elevator continues.

For example, when the speed of the car 3 rises abnormally for some reason and exceeds the 1st abnormal speed detection pattern 116 (FIG. 19), it is output that the speed of the car 3 is abnormal. The unit 114 detects the operation signal, and outputs the stop signal to the hoisting brake device 106 from the output unit 114 to the control panel 102. As a result, the hoisting machine 101 is stopped and the hoisting brake device 106 is operated to brake the rotation of the drive sheave 104.

Moreover, even when the car doorway 26 is not closed when the car 3 is elevating, the abnormality of the car doorway 26 is detected by the output part 114, and an operation signal And a stop signal are respectively output from the output unit 114 to the hoisting brake device 106 and the control panel 102 to brake the rotation of the drive sheave 104.

After the hoisting brake device 106 is operated, the operation signal to the hoisting brake device 106 when the speed of the car 3 further rises and exceeds the second abnormal speed set value 117 (FIG. 19). The operation signal is output from the output unit 114 to the emergency stop device 33 while maintaining the output of the. As a result, the emergency stop device 33 is operated, and the car 3 is braked by the same operation as in the second embodiment.

In such an elevator apparatus, the monitoring device 108 acquires the speed of the car 3 and the state of the car doorway 26 based on the information from the detecting means 112 for detecting the state of the elevator, and obtains the elevator. When it is determined that there is an error in any of the speed of the car 3 and the state of the car doorway 26, an operation signal is output to at least one of the hoisting brake device 106 and the emergency stop device 33. Therefore, the number of detection targets of the abnormality of the elevator increases, and not only the abnormality of the speed of the car 3 but also the abnormality of the state of the car doorway 26 can be detected, and the abnormality detection of the elevator by the monitoring device 108 can be detected. Earlier and more certainly. Therefore, the time taken until the braking force to the cage | basket | car 3 generate | occur | produces after abnormality of an elevator generate | occur | produces can be shortened.

In addition, in the above example, only the state of the car doorway 26 is detected by the door sensor 140, but the state of each of the car doorway 26 and the landing doorway 141 is transmitted to the door sensor 140. You may make it detect. In this case, the displacement to the closed position of each landing door 142 is detected by the door sensor 140 together with the displacement to the closed position of each car door 28. In this way, for example, an abnormality in the elevator can be detected even when an engagement device that engages the elevator car 28 and the landing door 142 with each other fails, and only the car door 28 is displaced. .

Embodiment 16

It is a block diagram which shows typically the elevator apparatus which concerns on Embodiment 16 of this invention. 30 is a configuration diagram illustrating an upper portion of the hoistway 1 in FIG. 29. In the figure, the power supply cable 150 is electrically connected to the hoist 101. The hoisting machine 101 is supplied with driving power via the power supply cable 150 by the control of the control panel 102.

The power supply cable 150 is provided with a current sensor 151 which is a driving device detection unit that detects a state of the hoist 101 by measuring a current flowing through the power supply cable 150. The current sensor 151 outputs a current detection signal (driving device state detection signal) corresponding to the current value of the power supply cable 150 to the output unit 114. In addition, the current sensor 151 is disposed above the hoistway 1. Moreover, as the current sensor 151, the current transformer CT etc. which measure the induced current which arises according to the magnitude | size of the electric current which flows through the power supply cable 150 are mentioned.

The car position sensor 109, the car speed sensor 110, and the current sensor 151 are electrically connected to the output part 114, respectively. In addition, the detection means 112 includes a car position sensor 109, a car speed sensor 110, and a current sensor 151.

The memory | storage part 113 memorize | stores the car speed abnormality determination criteria similar to the eleventh embodiment shown in FIG. 19, and the drive apparatus abnormality determination criterion which is a criterion which judges the presence or absence of the abnormality with respect to the state of the hoist 101.

The detection pattern of three steps is set in the drive apparatus abnormality determination criteria. That is, the driving device abnormality determination criterion includes a normal level that is a current value flowing through the power supply cable 150 during normal operation, a first abnormal level that is greater than the normal level, and a value that is greater than the first abnormal level. Two or more levels are set.

In the output unit 114, the position of the car 3 is calculated based on the input of the position detection signal, and the speed and hoist of the car 3 is based on the respective inputs of the speed detection signal and the current detection signal. The state of 101 is calculated as a plurality of types of abnormality determination elements (two types in this example).

The output unit 114 is a criterion for determining the abnormality of the driving device when the speed of the car 3 exceeds the first abnormal speed detection pattern 116 (FIG. 19) or the magnitude of the current flowing through the power supply cable 150. When the value of the 1st abnormal level in is exceeded, an operation signal (trigger signal) is output to the hoisting brake device 104. Moreover, the output part 114 is a drive device when the speed | rate of the cage | basket | car 3 exceeded the 2nd abnormal speed detection pattern 117 (FIG. 19), or the magnitude | size of the electric current which flows through the power supply cable 150 is abnormal of a drive apparatus. When the value of the second abnormal level in the determination criteria is exceeded, an operation signal is output to the hoisting brake device 104 and the emergency stop device 33. That is, the output part 114 determines the braking means which outputs an operation signal corresponding to the each degree of abnormality of the speed of the car 3, and the state of the hoist 101.

The other configuration is the same as that of the eleventh embodiment.

Next, the operation will be described. When the position detection signal from the car position sensor 109, the speed detection signal from the car speed sensor 110, and the current detection signal from the current sensor 151 are input to the output unit 114, the output unit ( In 114, the position of the car 3, the speed of the car 3, and the magnitude of the current in the power supply cable 150 are calculated based on the input of each detection signal. Thereafter, the output unit 114 determines the speed of the car 3 calculated based on the input of the car speed abnormality determination criterion and the driving device state abnormality determination criterion respectively obtained from the storage unit 113 and the respective detection signals. And the magnitude of the current in the power supply cable 150 is compared, and the presence or absence of abnormality in each of the speed of the car 3 and the state of the hoist 101 is detected.

During normal operation, the speed of the car 3 is approximately the same value as the normal speed detection pattern 115 (FIG. 19), and the magnitude of the current flowing through the power supply cable 150 is a normal level. In 114, it is detected that there is no abnormality in each of the speed of the car 3 and the state of the hoist 101, and the normal operation of the elevator is continued.

For example, when the speed of the car 3 rises abnormally for some reason and exceeds the 1st abnormal speed detection pattern 116 (FIG. 19), it is output that the speed of the car 3 is abnormal. The unit 114 detects the operation signal, and outputs the stop signal to the hoisting brake device 106 from the output unit 114 to the control panel 102. Due to this, the hoisting machine 101 is stopped and at the same time, the hoisting brake device 106 is operated to brake the rotation of the drive sheave 104.

Moreover, even when the magnitude | size of the electric current which flows through the electric power supply cable 150 exceeds the 1st abnormal level in a drive apparatus state abnormality determination criterion, the operation signal and a stop signal are the hoisting brake device 106 and the control panel 102. ) Are respectively output from the output unit 114, and the rotation of the drive sheave 104 is braked.

After the hoisting brake device 106 is operated, the operation signal to the hoisting brake device 106 when the speed of the car 3 further rises and exceeds the second abnormal speed set value 117 (FIG. 19). The operation signal is output from the output unit 114 to the emergency stop device 33 while maintaining the output of the. As a result, the emergency stop device 33 is operated, and the car 3 is braked by the same operation as in the second embodiment.

Moreover, even when the magnitude | size of the electric current which flows through the electric power supply cable 150 after the operation of the hoisting brake device 106 exceeds the 2nd abnormal level in a drive apparatus state abnormality determination criterion, the hoisting brake device 106 The operation signal is output from the output unit 114 to the emergency stop device 33 while maintaining the output of the operation signal to), and the emergency stop device 33 is operated.

In such an elevator apparatus, the monitoring apparatus 108 acquires the speed of the car 3 and the state of the hoist 101 based on the information from the detection means 112 for detecting the state of the elevator. When it is determined that any one of the speed of 3) and the state of the hoisting machine 101 is abnormal, the operation signal is output to at least one of the hoisting brake device 106 and the emergency stop device 33, The number of objects to be detected in the abnormality of the elevator increases, and the time taken until the braking force to the car 3 is generated after the abnormality of the elevator occurs can be shortened.

In addition, in the above example, the state of the hoist 101 is detected using the current sensor 151 for measuring the magnitude of the current flowing through the power supply cable 150, but the temperature for measuring the temperature of the hoist 101 The sensor may be used to detect the state of the hoist 101.

In addition, in the eleventh to sixteenth embodiments, the output unit 114 outputs the operation signal to the hoisting brake device 106 before outputting the operation signal to the emergency stop device 33. Is mounted separately from the emergency stop device 33 and mounted on the car brake and counterweight 107 for braking the car 3 by sandwiching the car guide rail 2 therebetween to guide the counterweight 107. Output portion 114 to a counterweight brake for braking the counterweight 107 by sandwiching the counterweight guide rail, or a rope brake installed in the hoistway 1 and for braking the main rope 4 by restraining the main rope 4. May output an operation signal.

In addition, although the electric cable is used as a transmission means for supplying electric power from an output part to an emergency stop apparatus in the said Embodiment 1-16, even if it uses the radio communication apparatus which has a transmitter provided in the output part, and the receiver provided in the emergency stop mechanism. do. Moreover, you may use the optical fiber cable which transmits an optical signal.

In addition, in the above embodiments 1 to 16, the emergency stop device is braked against overspeed (movement) in the downward direction of the car. However, the emergency stop device is mounted on the car with the emergency stop device reversed up and down. The overspeed (movement) to the braking may be performed.

 Embodiment 17

 Next, FIG. 31 is a block diagram which shows the elevator apparatus by Embodiment 17 of this invention. In the figure, a pair of car suspension pulleys 202a and 202b are provided below the car 201. On the upper portion of the counterweight 203, a counterweight suspension pulley 204 is provided. The car 201 is guided by a car guide rail (not shown) to elevate the inside of the hoistway. The counterweight 203 is guided by a counterweight guide rail (not shown) to elevate the inside of the hoistway.

In the lower part of the hoistway, a driving device (winder) 205 for elevating the car 201 and the counterweight 203 is provided. The drive device 205 has a drive sheave 206 and a drive body 207 for rotating the drive sheave 206. The drive body 207 includes a motor and a brake device.

The car 201 and the counterweight 203 are suspended in the hoistway in a 2: 1 roping manner by the main lines 208 of a plurality of lines (only one in the drawing).

Rope end support parts 219a and 219b are fixed to the upper part of the hoistway. The main rope 208 has a car side end (elevator side hitch end) 208a and a counterweight side end (balance weight side hitch end) 208b connected to the rope end supports 219a and 219b. have.

The car side return pulley 209 and the balance estimation return pulley 210 are provided in the upper part of the hoistway.

In addition, the main rope 208 is the car suspension pulleys 202a and 202b, the car side return pulley 209, the drive sheave 206, the balance guess return pulley 210 from the car side end 208a side, and so on. It is wound around the counterweight suspension pulley 204 and reaches the counterweight side end portion 208b.

The governor 211 is provided at the top of the hoistway. The governor 211 has a governor sheave 212 rotated at a speed corresponding to the running speed of the car 201. The governor rope 213 is wound around the governor sheave 212. Both ends of the governor rope 213 are connected to the car 201. The lower end of the governor rope 213 is provided with a governor rope tension pulley 214 for tensioning the governor rope 213.

The governor 211 is provided with a speed sensor 215 for generating a signal for detecting the traveling speed of the car 201. As the speed sensor 215, for example, an encoder is used.

Operation of the drive device 205 is controlled by the elevator control unit 216. The elevator control unit 216 obtains the position and speed of the car 201 based on the signal from the speed sensor 215, and creates a running pattern of the car 201 to control the drive device 205.

In addition, the elevator control unit 216 compares the overspeed pattern with the car speed as shown in FIG. 19, and when the car speed reaches the set overspeed, the elevator car 201 is suddenly stopped. Specifically, when the car speed reaches the first set overspeed (first abnormal level), energization to the drive device 205 is cut off, and the drive sheave 206 is braked by the brake device of the drive device 205. . When the car speed reaches the second set overspeed (second or higher level), the car 201 is directly braked by an emergency stationary device (not shown) mounted on the car 201.

As an emergency stop device, the emergency stop device (direct acting emergency stop) 5, 33, 77, 78 shown in Embodiment 1-16 is mentioned, for example.

Moreover, you may use the mechanical emergency stop device conventionally used as an emergency stop device. In this case, the actuator part which grasps the governor rope 213 by inputting the operation signal from the elevator control part 216 to the governor 211 or its vicinity may be provided.

The car vibration detector 217 which generates the signal for detecting the vibration of the car side edge part 208a is provided in the upper part of a hoistway. The car vibration detector 217 receives a vibration, thereby generating a voltage signal corresponding to the vibration. The signal from the car vibration detector 217 is input to the failure detection unit (failure determination processing unit) 218.

The failure detection unit 218 detects a car shake due to a failure by a signal from the car vibration detector 217, and sends a failure detection signal to the elevator control unit 216. In addition, the failure detection unit 218 includes a storage unit (ROM) in which a reference value for determining whether the car shake is caused by a failure, a storage unit (ROM) in which a judgment program is stored, a processing unit (CPU) for executing arithmetic processing of the judgment program, and RAM And an input / output unit.

When the failure detection signal is input, the elevator control unit 216 moves the car 201 to the nearest floor and stops it.

32 is an enlarged front view showing the vicinity of the car vibration detector 217 of FIG. 31, and FIG. 33 is a side view showing the vicinity of the car vibration detector 217 of FIG. In the figure, a shackle rod 221 is connected to each car side end portion 208a. Each shackle rod 221 penetrates the rope end support part 219a.

An upper spring bearing 222 is mounted on the upper end of each shackle rod 221. A spring (elastic material) 223 is interposed between the upper spring bearing 222 and the rope end support 219a.

Moreover, the attachment member 224 is attached to the upper end part of each shackle rod 221. As shown in FIG. The car vibration detector 217 is mounted on the upper end of one of the attachment members 224.

Next, the operation will be described. When a shake occurs in the car 201 due to a failure by a passenger or the like, the car shake is transmitted to the car vibration detector 217 through the main rope 213. The car vibration detector 217 generates a voltage signal according to the vibration in the vertical direction. The voltage signal generated in the car vibration detector 217 is sent to the failure detection unit 218.

The failure detection unit 218 compares the input voltage signal with a preset reference value, and determines whether or not the degree of shaking of the car is a level that affects the overspeed detection by the elevator control unit 216.

And if the level of car shaking can be ignored, the car 201 will run as it is. When the degree of shaking of the car reaches a predetermined level, a failure detection signal is input from the failure detecting unit 218 to the elevator control unit 216, and the car 201 is moved to the nearest floor and stopped. At this time, it is also possible to issue an alarm or announce to the car 201.

In addition, when a failure detection signal is input, the car 201 may be stopped at the nearest floor only when an alarm or an announce is issued in the car 201 and the car shaking continues. That is, the control when the failure detection signal is output can be variously changed.

In such an elevator apparatus, vibration generated in the car 201 is measured by the car vibration detector 217 through the main rope 208 of the length corresponding to the position of the car 201. In addition, the vibration of the car 201 is transmitted to the governor 211 through the governor rope 213 of the length corresponding to the position of the car 201. Therefore, the vibration detected by the car vibration detector 217 becomes almost equivalent to the vibration affecting the speed sensor 215 provided in the governor 211.

In this way, the vibration of the car side end 208a of the main rope 208 is detected by the car vibration detector 217, and the detection unit 218 determines the degree of car shaking based on the detection signal. The overspeed detection can be prevented more erroneously due to the shaking of the car caused by the failure. In addition, erroneous detection of car shaking due to a failure can be prevented.

 In addition, in Embodiment 17, although the elevator apparatus which brakes the cage | basket | car 201 by detecting the overspeed by the signal from the speed sensor 215, the combination of the conventional mechanical governor and a mechanical emergency stop device is not shown. This invention can be applied also to the elevator apparatus to be used, and the shaking of a car by a failure can be detected with good precision.

Embodiment 18

Next, FIG. 34 is a front view which shows the principal part of the elevator apparatus by Embodiment 18 of this invention. In this example, a car vibration detector for detecting vehicle shake due to a failure is provided in a weighing device 225 for detecting a load weight of the car 201.

The weighing device 225 detects the detection pulley 226 rotatably supported on the upper part of the hoistway, the detection wire 227 wound around the detection pulley 226, and a signal for detecting the rotation angle of the detection pulley 226. It has the angle sensor 228 which generate | occur | produces. The angle sensor 228 also serves as a car vibration detector for generating a signal for detecting car shake.

The first end of the detection wire 227 is connected to the upper end of one of the attachment members 224. The second end of the detection wire 227 is connected to the rope end support 219a via a spring 229. Spring 225 tensions detection wire 227. The angle sensor 228 is mounted in the detection pulley 226. The other configuration is the same as that in the seventeenth embodiment.

Next, the operation will be described. The spring 223 is stretched in accordance with the load weight in the car 201. The attachment member 224 is displaced in the vertical direction according to the expansion and contraction of the spring 223. Since the first end of the detection wire 227 is connected to the attachment member 224, when the attachment member 224 is displaced, the detection pulley 226 having a large angle corresponding to the displacement amount is rotated. That is, the rotation angle of the detection pulley 226 corresponds to the load weight in the car 201. Therefore, by processing the output signal from the angle sensor 228, the loading weight in the cage | basket | car 201 can be measured.

Originally, since the change in weight of the car 201 is a static change, a long sampling cycle is used as a processing circuit for the output signal from the angle sensor 228. On the other hand, the frequency of the car shake due to a failure is about 1 to 5 Hz, and a processing circuit with a short sampling period is required to detect such a shake. Here, in the eighteenth embodiment, a processing circuit for detecting vehicle shake is provided separately from the processing circuit for measuring the weighing weight.

On the basis of the detection result in the processing circuit for detecting the car shake, the failure detecting unit 218 determines whether the car shake is due to a failure. Therefore, it is possible to more reliably prevent the overspeed detection due to the vehicle shake due to the failure, and to prevent the false detection of the vehicle shake due to the failure.

Moreover, since the existing angle sensor 228 can be used as a vibration detector for car shake detection, an increase in cost can be suppressed.

Embodiment 19

Next, FIG. 35 is a block diagram showing the elevator apparatus according to Embodiment 19 of the present invention. In the figure, the elevator control unit is a driving control unit 231 for controlling the operation of the drive unit 205 and the like, and a safety monitoring for stopping the car 201 by the drive unit 205 or the emergency stop device in case of an abnormality in the elevator. It has a portion 232.

The failure detection signal from the failure detection unit 218 is input to the safety monitoring unit 232 independent of the operation control unit 231. When the failure detection signal is input to the safety monitoring unit 232, the safety switch 232a of the safety monitoring unit 232 is turned off, and the energization of the driving device 205 is cut off. For this reason, the drive of the motor of the drive device 205 is stopped, the drive sheave 206 is braked by the brake device, and the car 201 is emergency stopped. The other configuration is the same as that in the seventeenth embodiment.

According to such a structure, even when the operation control part 231 is runaway, the overspeed detection by mistake can be prevented by the shake of the car by a failure, and the shake of the car by a failure can be prevented more reliably. Misdetection can be prevented.

In the nineteenth embodiment, the failure detection unit 218 may be part of the safety monitoring unit 232.

Embodiment 20

Next, FIG. 36: is a block diagram which shows the elevator apparatus by Embodiment 20 of this invention. In the figure, the failure detection signal from the failure detection unit 218 is selectively input to either the driving control unit 231 or the safety monitoring unit 232 according to the detected level of the car shake.

For example, when the level of the car shake is lower than the preset level, a failure detection signal is input to the driving control unit 231, and the car 201 is moved to the nearest floor and stopped. In addition, when the level of the car shaking is more than a predetermined level, a failure detection signal is input to the safety monitoring unit 232, and the car 201 is emergency stopped.

Thus, according to the level of the car shake, it is also possible to perform another control after the car shake detection.

Embodiment 21

Next, FIG. 37: is a block diagram which shows the elevator apparatus by Embodiment 21 of this invention. In the figure, a drive device 205 and a deflector pulley 233 are disposed above the hoistway. A main rope 208 is wound around the drive sheave 206 and the deflector pulley 233.

The car side end portion 208a of the main rope 208 is connected to the upper portion of the car 201. The counterweight side end 208b of the main rope 208 is connected to the upper portion of the counterweight 203. That is, the car 201 and the counterweight 203 are suspended in a 1: 1 roping manner by the main rope 208.

The car 201 is equipped with a car vibration detector 234 that generates a signal for detecting the vibration of the car 201. The governor 211 is equipped with a governor vibration detector 235 for generating a signal for detecting the vibration of the governor 211. Signals from the car vibration detector 234 and the governor vibration detector 235 are input to the failure detection unit 218. The other configuration is the same as that in the seventeenth embodiment.

38 is a flowchart showing the operation of the failure detection unit 218 of FIG. During normal operation of the elevator, the failure detection unit 218 monitors whether or not the governor 211 vibrates based on the signal from the governor vibration detector 235 (step S1). If the vibration of the governor 211 is not detected, normal operation is continued as it is.

When the vibration of the governor 211 is detected, it is checked whether the degree of the vibration is equal to or greater than the first reference value (step S2). The first reference value is set lower than the level of the overdetected vibration.

If the vibration of the governor 211 is equal to or greater than the first reference value, a failure detection signal is output to the elevator control unit 216 (step S3).

When the vibration of the governor 211 was less than the first reference value, it is checked whether or not the degree of vibration of the governor 211 is greater than or equal to the second reference value (step S4). It goes without saying that the second reference value is set lower than the first reference value. If the degree of vibration is less than the second reference value, normal operation is continued as it is.

If the vibration of the governor 211 is greater than or equal to the second reference value and less than the first reference value, it is confirmed whether or not the car 201 vibrates based on the signal from the car vibration detector 234 (step S5). If the vibration of the car 201 is not detected, normal operation is continued as it is.

When the vibration of the car 201 is detected, it is determined that the vibration is likely to be due to a passenger failure, and a failure detection signal is output (step S3).

As an elevator control method after a failure detection signal is output, any one of Embodiment 17, 19, 20 can be implemented, for example. Specifically, for example, when a failure detection signal is output, a control method of stopping the car 201 on the nearest floor can be applied. When the vibration of the governor 211 is equal to or greater than the first reference value, the car 201 is emergency stopped, and the vibration of the governor 211 is less than the first reference value and is equal to or greater than the second reference value. When a vibration is detected, the control method of stopping the car 201 to the nearest floor can be applied.

In such an elevator apparatus, the vibration of the governor 211 is detected by the governor vibration detector 235, and the vibration of the car 201 is detected by the car vibration detector 234, so that the vibration of the governor 211 can be detected. It is possible to detect at an early stage, and more accurately determine whether the vibration of the governor 211 is caused by shaking the car 201. Therefore, it is possible to reliably prevent the overspeed detection due to the vehicle shake due to the failure, and to prevent the false detection of the vehicle shake due to the failure.

The car vibration detector may be arranged wherever the shaking of the car can be detected. For example, as shown in Embodiments 17 to 20, in the case of an elevator device of the 2: 1 roping system, the vibration of the car may be indirectly detected by detecting the vibration of the car side end of the main rope.

In addition, when the car vibration detector is mounted on the car, the car vibration detector may be installed in either the car frame or the car compartment. However, the car vibration detector may be installed directly in the car compartment, thereby causing the elevator to be broken by passengers in the car compartment. Cell shake can be detected more reliably. Moreover, when providing a car vibration detector in a cage | basket | car, by providing a cage | basket | car vibration detector in the cage | basket | car upper part rather than the cage | basket | car compartment fixed to a cage | basket | car frame, the detection sensitivity of cage | basket | car shaking can be made higher.

Embodiment 22

Next, FIG. 39 is a block diagram showing the elevator apparatus according to Embodiment 22 of the present invention. In this example, the governor rope 213 is connected to the car 201 via the vibration isolator 236. 40 is an enlarged side view of the vibration suppression apparatus 236 of FIG. 39.

The signal from the car vibration detector 217 is input to the failure detection unit 218 through the D / A converter 237 and the filter 238. The filter 238 is a car vibration detector 217 due to a difference in transmission characteristics of vibrations from the car 201 to the governor 211 and transmission characteristics of vibrations from the car 201 to the car vibration detector 217. Correct the detection error at).

That is, by passing through the filter 238, the vibration detected by the car vibration detector 217 may approach the vibration of the governor 211. In the filter 238, the weight M1 of the car compartment, the weight M2 of the car frame supporting the car compartment, the rigidity K1 of the rubber cushion provided between the car compartment and the car frame, the rigidity of the main rope 208 The detection signal is corrected using parameters such as Kr, the spring stiffness Kc of the vibration suppression apparatus 236, the stiffness Kg of the governor rope 213, and the like.

FIG. 41 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of signal correction by the filter 238 of FIG. 39. For example, the signal shown in (b) can be obtained by applying correction considering the transfer characteristic to the detection signal shown in (a).

For this reason, it is possible to reliably prevent the overspeed detection due to the car shaking due to the failure and to prevent the false detection of the car shaking due to the failure.

In addition, the correction by the filter 238 can be applied also to the elevator apparatus which does not use the damping apparatus 236. FIG.

Moreover, also about the algorithm of the failure determination of Embodiment 21, the determination degree can be improved by correct | amending by the filter 238 to the signal from the governor vibration detector 235 and the car vibration detector 234.

It is also possible to apply correction by a plurality of filters to one detection signal. 42 is an explanatory diagram showing an example in which two kinds of corrections are applied to a detection signal from one vibration detector. As shown in the figure, by applying a correction based on the transmission characteristic A from the detection position to the governor, the signal after the correction can be used for the shake determination of the governor. In addition, by applying correction based on the transmission characteristic B from the detection position to the car, the signal after correction can be used for the shaking determination of the car. Therefore, the shaking of the car and the shaking of the governor can be detected using one vibration detector, and the control method as shown in the 21st embodiment can be implemented.

In addition, in order to apply a filter for transmission characteristics to elevators of various models, an operation operation for classifying the transmission characteristics may be performed immediately after installation of the elevator.

In addition, the parameter used for a filter is not limited to said example, For example, it may contain a raising or lowering stroke, a capacity | capacitance, etc.
