下文將參考附圖來詳細描述本發明之較佳實施例。 Hereinafter, the preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

首先,下文將描述之實施例係適合於理解本發明之一升降裝置及改造一升降機之一方法之技術特徵的實施例。然而,本發明之技術特徵不受限於應用或詳細描述本發明之實施例,且可在本發明之技術範疇內進行各種修改。 First of all, the embodiments to be described below are embodiments suitable for understanding the technical features of a lifting device of the present invention and a method of modifying an elevator. However, the technical features of the present invention are not limited to the application or detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention, and various modifications can be made within the technical scope of the present invention.

本發明之一目的係將既有升降裝置改造成在一繩比類型及一牽引機21種類方面不同於既有升降裝置之一升降裝置。例如,可將應用圖1之一1:1繩比類型帶齒輪牽引機11的一升降系統改造成應用圖2之一2:1 繩比類型牽引機21的一升降系統。 One purpose of the present invention is to transform the existing lifting device into a lifting device that is different from the existing lifting device in terms of a rope ratio type and a type of tractor 21. For example, a lifting system using the 1:1 rope ratio type geared tractor 11 in Figure 1 can be transformed into the application of Figure 2: 2:1 A lifting system of the rope ratio type tractor 21.

帶齒輪牽引機11可為其上附接一減速器之一牽引機,且牽引機21可為其中一主滑輪22直接耦合至一馬達之一旋轉軸且不使用減速器之一牽引機。 The geared tractor 11 may be a tractor with a reducer attached thereto, and the tractor 21 may be a tractor in which one of the main pulleys 22 is directly coupled to a rotating shaft of a motor and does not use a reducer.

然而,為將圖1之牽引機改造成圖2之牽引機,需要移動及安裝一平衡重導軌5之一程序。 However, in order to transform the tractor of FIG. 1 into the tractor of FIG. 2, a procedure of moving and installing a counterweight guide rail 5 is required.

特定言之,參考圖1,使用帶齒輪牽引機11之一1:1繩比類型升降裝置可不使用一機廂懸吊滑輪23及一平衡重懸吊滑輪25,因此,一機廂2之一中心C1及一平衡重4之一中心C2可安置於相同線中。可進一步設置帶齒輪牽引機11之一驅動滑輪12及一掛繩副滑輪13。 Specifically, referring to Figure 1, the use of a 1:1 rope ratio type lifting device with a geared tractor 11 can eliminate the use of a carriage suspension pulley 23 and a counterweight suspension pulley 25. Therefore, one carriage 2 is one The center C1 and the center C2 of a counterweight 4 can be placed in the same line. A driving pulley 12 and a lanyard auxiliary pulley 13 of the geared tractor 11 can be further provided.

在此,一井道1內之一機廂導軌3可成對垂直設置於井道1內。當使垂直安置於井道1內之機廂導軌對3彼此連接的一虛擬表面指稱一參考面RP且沿垂直於參考面RP之一方向自機廂2之中心C1延伸之一表面指稱一中心面CP時,平衡重4之中心C2可安置於中心面CP上。 Here, one carriage guide rail 3 in a hoistway 1 can be vertically arranged in a pair in the hoistway 1. When a virtual surface that connects the pair of carriage guide rails 3 vertically arranged in the hoistway 1 to each other is referred to as a reference plane RP, and a surface extending from the center C1 of the carriage 2 in a direction perpendicular to the reference plane RP is referred to as a center plane In CP, the center C2 of the counterweight 4 can be placed on the center plane CP.

另一方面,參考圖2,一2:1繩比類型升降裝置可使用機廂懸吊滑輪23及平衡重懸吊滑輪25,因此,機廂2之中心C1及平衡重4之中心C2可不安置於相同線中。即,平衡重4之中心C2可不安置於中心面CP上。 On the other hand, referring to Figure 2, a 2:1 rope ratio type lifting device can use the carriage suspension pulley 23 and the counterweight suspension pulley 25, therefore, the center C1 of the carriage 2 and the center C2 of the counterweight 4 may not be installed In the same line. That is, the center C2 of the balance weight 4 may not be placed on the center plane CP.

因此,為將根據相關技術之圖1之1:1繩比類型升降裝置改造成根據相關技術之圖2之2:1繩比類型升降裝置,需要移動及重新安裝引導平衡重4之平衡重導軌5的一程序。因此,當執行改造工作時,工作週期及成本增加。 Therefore, in order to transform the 1:1 rope ratio type lifting device according to the related technology to the 2:1 rope ratio type lifting device according to the related technology, it is necessary to move and reinstall the counterweight guide rail that guides the counterweight 4 A program of 5. Therefore, when the renovation work is performed, the work cycle and cost increase.

因此,為解決上述問題,本發明提供一升降裝置及改造一 升降機之一方法,在升降裝置中,能夠在無需移動平衡重導軌5之位置的情況下將1:1繩比類型升降裝置轉換成2:1繩比類型升降裝置。 Therefore, in order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides a lifting device and a modification One method of the elevator is to convert the 1:1 rope ratio type lifting device into the 2:1 rope ratio type lifting device without moving the position of the counterweight guide rail 5 in the lifting device.

下文將參考圖3及圖4來描述一升降裝置及改造一升降機之一方法。為便於描述,改造工作之前的牽引機11指稱一既有牽引機,且改造工作之後的牽引機21指稱一新安裝牽引機或一牽引機。 Hereinafter, with reference to FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, a lifting device and a method of transforming an elevator will be described. For ease of description, the tractor 11 before the renovation work refers to an existing tractor, and the tractor 21 after the renovation work refers to a newly installed tractor or a tractor.

首先,參考圖3,根據本發明之一升降裝置包含:一機廂2,其在一井道1內沿一機廂導軌3升降;一機廂懸吊滑輪23,其耦合至機廂2之一上部分;一平衡重4,其在井道1內沿一平衡重導軌5升降;及一平衡重懸吊滑輪25,其耦合至平衡重4之一上部分。在此,機廂導軌3及平衡重導軌5之各者可垂直設置於井道1內且彼此間隔開地成對設置。 First, referring to FIG. 3, a lifting device according to the present invention includes: a carriage 2 which is lifted and lowered along a carriage guide rail 3 in a hoistway 1; and a carriage suspension pulley 23 coupled to one of the carriages 2 The upper part; a counterweight 4, which is raised and lowered along a counterweight guide rail 5 in the hoistway 1; and a counterweight suspension pulley 25, which is coupled to an upper part of the counterweight 4. Here, each of the cabin guide rail 3 and the counterweight guide rail 5 can be arranged vertically in the hoistway 1 and spaced apart from each other in pairs.

為便於描述,使機廂導軌對3彼此連接的一虛擬表面指稱一參考面RP,且沿垂直於參考面RP之一方向自機廂2之中心C1延伸的一表面指稱一中心面CP。 For ease of description, a virtual surface connecting the pair of car guide rails 3 to each other is referred to as a reference plane RP, and a surface extending from the center C1 of the car 2 in a direction perpendicular to the reference plane RP is referred to as a center plane CP.

此外,升降裝置進一步包含一牽引機21。牽引機21旋轉機廂懸吊滑輪23及平衡重懸吊滑輪25以提供升降機廂2及平衡重4之驅動力。此外,牽引機21進一步包含一主滑輪22,且主滑輪22透過一主繩索來連接至機廂懸吊滑輪23及平衡重懸吊滑輪25。在根據本發明之牽引機21中,一馬達之一驅動軸及主滑輪22之一旋轉軸線R1可彼此匹配。因此,當依安裝角調整牽引機21時,可依安裝角調整主滑輪22。 In addition, the lifting device further includes a tractor 21. The tractor 21 rotates the cabin suspension pulley 23 and the balance weight suspension pulley 25 to provide the driving force of the elevator cabin 2 and the balance weight 4. In addition, the tractor 21 further includes a main pulley 22, and the main pulley 22 is connected to the cabin suspension pulley 23 and the counterweight suspension pulley 25 through a main rope. In the tractor 21 according to the present invention, a drive shaft of a motor and a rotation axis R1 of the main pulley 22 can be matched with each other. Therefore, when the tractor 21 is adjusted according to the installation angle, the main pulley 22 can be adjusted according to the installation angle.

在此,根據本發明,牽引機21及機廂懸吊滑輪23經安置使得一第一方向(其係設置於牽引機21上之主滑輪22之旋轉軸線R1之一方向)及一第二方向(其係機廂懸吊滑輪23之一旋轉軸線R2之一方向)相對於彼此傾斜。 Here, according to the present invention, the tractor 21 and the carriage suspension pulley 23 are arranged in a first direction (which is one direction of the rotation axis R1 of the main pulley 22 provided on the tractor 21) and a second direction (It is one direction of the rotation axis R2 of the cabin suspension pulley 23) is inclined with respect to each other.

如上文所描述,在根據本發明之升降裝置中,可依安裝角調整牽引機21或機廂懸吊滑輪23以依一適當角度定位主滑輪22、平衡重懸吊滑輪25及機廂懸吊滑輪23之各者以匹配平衡重懸吊滑輪25及機廂懸吊滑輪23之各者之一掛繩位置。 As described above, in the lifting device according to the present invention, the tractor 21 or the cabin suspension pulley 23 can be adjusted according to the installation angle to position the main pulley 22, the counterweight suspension pulley 25, and the cabin suspension at an appropriate angle. Each of the pulleys 23 has a rope position that matches one of the balance weight suspension pulley 25 and the cabin suspension pulley 23.

特定言之,若使用根據本發明之升降裝置,則當將既有升降裝置改造成根據本發明之升降裝置(其在一繩比類型及一牽引機種類方面不同於既有升降裝置)時,可在不涉及移動平衡重導軌5之一位置以重新安裝平衡重導軌5之一程序的情況下執行改造工作。 In particular, if the lifting device according to the present invention is used, when the existing lifting device is transformed into the lifting device according to the present invention (which is different from the existing lifting device in terms of a rope ratio type and a type of tractor), The transformation work can be performed without involving a procedure of moving one of the positions of the counterweight guide rail 5 to reinstall one of the counterweight guide rails 5.

因此,根據本發明,當執行升降機改造工作時,可易於轉換繩比類型及牽引機21之種類,且可減少替換導軌之一工作週期及成本。 Therefore, according to the present invention, when performing the elevator renovation work, the rope ratio type and the type of the tractor 21 can be easily changed, and the work cycle and cost of replacing the guide rail can be reduced.

特定言之,根據本發明,當安裝牽引機21或機廂懸吊滑輪23時,主滑輪22及機廂懸吊滑輪23可經安置使得第一方向或第二方向之至少一方向相對於參考面RP傾斜。在此,可根據機廂2及平衡重4之位置來適當調整第一方向及第二方向之一傾斜度。 In particular, according to the present invention, when the tractor 21 or the cabin suspension pulley 23 is installed, the main pulley 22 and the cabin suspension pulley 23 can be arranged such that at least one of the first direction or the second direction is relative to the reference The surface RP is inclined. Here, one of the inclination of the first direction and the second direction can be appropriately adjusted according to the positions of the machine car 2 and the counterweight 4.

更特定言之,參考圖3之一第一實施例,機廂懸吊滑輪23可經安置而延伸,使得第二方向沿平行於參考面RP之一方向延伸。此外,牽引機21可經安置使得主滑輪22之第一方向沿相對於參考面RP傾斜之方向延伸。 More specifically, referring to the first embodiment of FIG. 3, the cabin suspension pulley 23 can be arranged to extend so that the second direction extends in a direction parallel to the reference plane RP. In addition, the tractor 21 may be arranged such that the first direction of the main pulley 22 extends in a direction inclined with respect to the reference plane RP.

如上文所描述,因為傾斜安裝牽引機21,所以平衡重4之中心C2及平衡重懸吊滑輪25之中心可安置於中心面CP上。即,如同改造之前的使用1:1繩比類型帶齒輪牽引機11之升降機,根據本發明,平衡重4之中心C2可安置於中心面CP上,且平衡重導軌5亦可安置於相同位置處。 As described above, because the tractor 21 is installed obliquely, the center C2 of the counterweight 4 and the center of the counterweight suspension pulley 25 can be placed on the center plane CP. That is, just like the elevator using the 1:1 rope ratio type geared tractor 11 before the transformation, according to the present invention, the center C2 of the counterweight 4 can be placed on the center plane CP, and the counterweight guide rail 5 can also be placed at the same position Place.

參考圖4之一第二實施例,一牽引機21可經安置使得一主滑輪22之一第一方向沿平行於一參考面RP之一方向延伸。此外,一機廂懸吊滑輪23可經安置使得一第二方向沿相對於參考面RP傾斜之一方向延伸。 Referring to the second embodiment of FIG. 4, a tractor 21 can be arranged such that a first direction of a main pulley 22 extends in a direction parallel to a reference plane RP. In addition, a cabin suspension pulley 23 may be arranged such that a second direction extends in a direction inclined with respect to the reference plane RP.

特定言之,當機廂懸吊滑輪23安裝於機廂2之一上端表面上時,第二方向可經安裝以鑑於主滑輪22及平衡重導軌5之各者之一掛繩位置而傾斜。如上文所描述,因為傾斜安裝機廂懸吊滑輪23,所以平衡重4之中心C2及平衡重懸吊滑輪25之中心可安置於中心面CP上。 In particular, when the cabin suspension pulley 23 is installed on an upper surface of the cabin 2, the second direction can be installed to tilt in view of the lanyard position of each of the main pulley 22 and the counterweight guide 5. As described above, because the cabin suspension pulley 23 is installed obliquely, the center C2 of the balance weight 4 and the center of the balance weight suspension pulley 25 can be placed on the center plane CP.

如同圖3及圖4之實施例,因為第一方向及第二方向經安置以相對於彼此傾斜,所以平衡重4之中心C2及平衡重懸吊滑輪25之中心可安置於中心面CP上。 As in the embodiment of FIGS. 3 and 4, because the first direction and the second direction are arranged to be inclined relative to each other, the center C2 of the balance weight 4 and the center of the balance weight suspension pulley 25 can be placed on the center plane CP.

然而,第一方向及第二方向安置成傾斜之方式不受限於圖3及圖4之實施例。因此,只要平衡重4之中心C2及平衡重懸吊滑輪25之中心安置於中心面CP上,則可依各種方式修改實施例。例如,所有第一方向及第二方向可經安置以沿相對於參考面RP傾斜之方向延伸。 However, the manner in which the first direction and the second direction are arranged to be inclined is not limited to the embodiment of FIG. 3 and FIG. 4. Therefore, as long as the center C2 of the balance weight 4 and the center of the balance weight suspension pulley 25 are placed on the center plane CP, the embodiment can be modified in various ways. For example, all the first direction and the second direction may be arranged to extend in a direction inclined with respect to the reference plane RP.

如同上述實施例,主滑輪22之旋轉軸線R1及平衡重懸吊滑輪25之一旋轉軸線R3可設置為彼此垂直。因此,平衡重4之一懸吊之一角度可根據牽引機21之一安裝角來變動。然而,主滑輪22之旋轉軸線R1與平衡重懸吊滑輪25之旋轉軸線R3之間的角度不受限於此。 As in the above embodiment, the rotation axis R1 of the main pulley 22 and the rotation axis R3 of the counterweight suspension pulley 25 can be set to be perpendicular to each other. Therefore, one of the suspension angles of the balance weight 4 can be changed according to one of the installation angles of the tractor 21. However, the angle between the rotation axis R1 of the main pulley 22 and the rotation axis R3 of the counterweight suspension pulley 25 is not limited to this.

According to this The method of retrofitting an elevator is related to a method of transforming an existing elevator device into the elevator device according to the present invention. The description overlapping with the above description will be omitted below.

根據本發明之改造一升降機之一方法係基於將一既有升降機改造成具有一不同繩比類型及一不同牽引機之一升降裝置。例如,在根據本發明之改造升降機之方法中,既有升降裝置可設置為一1:1繩比類型且包含一帶齒輪牽引機11(參閱圖1)。經改造以被新安裝之升降裝置可設置為一2:1繩比類型且包含一牽引機21(參閱圖3或圖4)。 One method of modifying an elevator according to the present invention is based on modifying an existing elevator into a lifting device with a different rope ratio type and a different tractor. For example, in the method for upgrading an elevator according to the present invention, the existing elevator device can be set to a 1:1 rope ratio type and include a geared tractor 11 (see FIG. 1). The lifting device modified to be newly installed can be set to a 2:1 rope ratio type and includes a tractor 21 (see Fig. 3 or Fig. 4).

根據本發明之改造升降機之方法可包含一第一步驟、一第二步驟及一第三步驟。 The method for upgrading an elevator according to the present invention may include a first step, a second step, and a third step.

第一步驟係安裝一機器樑6且藉由拆除既有牽引機11來安裝在形成於一機房內之一空間中新安裝於機器樑6上之一牽引機21的一步驟。 The first step is a step of installing a machine beam 6 and installing a tractor 21 newly installed on the machine beam 6 in a space formed in a machine room by removing the existing tractor 11.

在第一步驟中,可拆卸既有牽引機11、一主繩索、一機廂2及一平衡重4,且可自機房移除既有牽引機11。可將一機器基座7及機器樑6安裝於既有牽引機11自其移除之空間中,且可放置固定至機器樑6之牽引機21。 In the first step, the existing tractor 11, a main rope, a carriage 2 and a counterweight 4 can be disassembled, and the existing tractor 11 can be removed from the machine room. A machine base 7 and a machine beam 6 can be installed in the space from which the existing tractor 11 is removed, and the tractor 21 fixed to the machine beam 6 can be placed.

第二步驟係將一機廂懸吊滑輪23安裝於機廂2上、將一平衡重懸吊滑輪25安裝於一平衡重4上及將機廂2及平衡重4安置於一井道1內的一步驟。 The second step is to install a cabin suspension pulley 23 on the cabin 2, install a counterweight suspension pulley 25 on a counterweight 4, and place the cabin 2 and the counterweight 4 in a hoistway 1. One step.

第三步驟係圍繞機廂懸吊滑輪23、設置於牽引機21上之主滑輪22及平衡重懸吊滑輪25捲繞主繩索以將主繩索之兩端固定至機器樑6的一步驟。 The third step is a step of winding the main rope around the cabin suspension pulley 23, the main pulley 22 provided on the tractor 21, and the balance weight suspension pulley 25 to fix the two ends of the main rope to the machine beam 6.

特定言之,在第三步驟中,可經由牽引機21之主滑輪22來 使主繩索自機廂懸吊滑輪23捲繞平衡重懸吊滑輪25且懸掛於平衡重懸吊滑輪25上,且可將主繩索之兩端固定至機器樑6之一繫扣部分。因此,當旋轉牽引機21之主滑輪22時,可旋轉機廂懸吊滑輪23及平衡重懸吊滑輪25,同時移動主繩索。在此,機廂2及平衡重4可分別沿一機廂導軌3及一平衡重導軌5垂直移動,且機廂2及平衡重4可運行而彼此垂直穿越。 In particular, in the third step, the main pulley 22 of the tractor 21 can be used to The main rope is wound from the cabin suspension pulley 23 to the balance weight suspension pulley 25 and hung on the balance weight suspension pulley 25, and both ends of the main rope can be fixed to a fastening part of the machine beam 6. Therefore, when the main pulley 22 of the tractor 21 is rotated, the cabin suspension pulley 23 and the counterweight suspension pulley 25 can be rotated, and the main ropes can be moved at the same time. Here, the carriage 2 and the counterweight 4 can move vertically along a carriage rail 3 and a counterweight guide rail 5, respectively, and the carriage 2 and the counterweight 4 can move vertically through each other.

在第一步驟或第二步驟中,牽引機21及機廂懸吊滑輪23經安置使得一第一方向(其係主滑輪22之一旋轉軸線R1之一方向)及一第二方向(其係機廂懸吊滑輪23之一旋轉軸線R2之一方向)相對於彼此傾斜。 In the first step or the second step, the tractor 21 and the carriage suspension pulley 23 are arranged such that a first direction (which is a direction of a rotation axis R1 of the main pulley 22) and a second direction (which is a direction of the rotation axis R1 of the main pulley 22) One direction of the rotation axis R2 of the cabin suspension pulley 23 is inclined with respect to each other.

特定言之,主滑輪22及機廂懸吊滑輪23可經安置使得第一方向或第二方向之至少一方向相對於一參考面RP傾斜(參閱圖3及圖4)。 In particular, the main pulley 22 and the cabin suspension pulley 23 may be arranged such that at least one of the first direction or the second direction is inclined with respect to a reference plane RP (refer to FIGS. 3 and 4).

如上文所描述,因為第一方向及第二方向經安置以相對於彼此傾斜,所以在其中平衡重4經安置以由既有平衡重導軌5引導之一狀態中,平衡重4之一中心C2及平衡重懸吊滑輪25之一中心安置於一中心面CP上。因此,當執行改造工作時,無需移動既有平衡重導軌5。 As described above, because the first direction and the second direction are arranged to be inclined with respect to each other, in a state in which the balance weight 4 is arranged to be guided by the existing balance weight guide rail 5, a center C2 of the balance weight 4 And a center of the balance weight suspension pulley 25 is arranged on a center plane CP. Therefore, there is no need to move the existing counterweight guide rail 5 when performing the renovation work.

在根據本發明之升降裝置中,可依安裝角調整牽引機或機廂懸吊滑輪以依一適當角度定位主滑輪、平衡重懸吊滑輪及機廂懸吊滑輪之各者以匹配平衡重懸吊滑輪及機廂懸吊滑輪之各者之掛繩位置。 In the lifting device according to the present invention, the tractor or the carriage suspension pulley can be adjusted according to the installation angle to position the main pulley, the counterweight suspension pulley and the carriage suspension pulley at an appropriate angle to match the balance weight suspension The position of the lanyard for each of the hanging pulley and the cabin hanging pulley.

特定言之,若使用根據本發明之升降裝置,則當將既有升降裝置改造成根據本發明之升降裝置(其在繩比類型及牽引機種類方面不同於既有升降裝置)時,可在不涉及移動平衡重導軌之位置以重新安裝平衡重導軌之程序的情況下執行改造工作。 In particular, if the lifting device according to the present invention is used, when the existing lifting device is transformed into the lifting device according to the present invention (which is different from the existing lifting device in terms of rope ratio and type of tractor), it can be used in Perform the transformation work without involving the procedure of moving the position of the counterweight guide to reinstall the counterweight guide.

因此,根據本發明,當執行升降機改造工作時,可易於轉換繩比類型及牽引機種類,且可減少替換導軌之工作週期及成本。 Therefore, according to the present invention, when performing the elevator renovation work, the rope ratio type and the tractor type can be easily changed, and the work cycle and cost of replacing the guide rail can be reduced.
