Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

Embodiment 1

FIG. 1 is a configuration diagram schematically showing an elevator apparatus according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. In the figure, a pair of car guide rails 2 are installed in a hoistway 1. The car 3 is guided up and down the hoistway 1 by the car guide rails 2. At the upper end of the hoistway 1, a hoist (not shown) for raising and lowering the car 3 and the counterweight (not shown) is arranged. 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. On the car 3, a pair of safety devices 5, which are braking means, are mounted so as to face each car guide rail 2. Each safety device 5 is arranged at the lower part of the car 3. The car 3 is braked by the operation of each safety device 5.

At the upper end of the hoistway 1, a speed governor 6 serving as a car speed detecting means for detecting the hoisting speed of the car 3 is arranged. The governor 6 has a governor body 7 and a governor sheep 8 rotatable with respect to the governor body 7. At the lower end of the hoistway 1, a rotatable pulley 9 is arranged. A governor rope 10 connected to the car 3 is wound between the governor sheave 8 and the tensioner 9. Governor rope 10 The connection part with the car 3 is reciprocated with the car 3 in the vertical direction. As a result, the governor sheave 8 and the stretcher 9 are rotated at a speed corresponding to the elevator speed of the car 3. The governor 6 operates the brake device of the hoist when the elevator speed of the car 3 reaches a preset first overspeed. Also, the governor 6 has an output unit that outputs an operation signal to the safety gear 5 when the descending speed of the car 3 becomes a second overspeed (set overspeed) higher than the first overspeed. There is a switch 1.1. The switch part 11 has a contact part 16 that is mechanically opened and closed by an overspeed lever that is displaced according to the centrifugal force of the rotating governor sheep 8. The contact section 16 is electrically connected to the battery 12 as an uninterruptible power supply that can supply power even during a power failure, and to the control panel 13 that controls the operation of the elevator via a power cable 14 and a connection cable 15, respectively. Have been.

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 and signal lines. The power from the battery 12 is passed through the power cable 14, the switch 11, the connection cable 15, the power supply circuit in the control panel 13, and the emergency stop wiring 17 by closing the contacts 16. Supplied to each safety gear 5. The transmission means 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, a support member 18 is fixed to the lower part of the car 3. The emergency stop device 5 is supported by a support member 18. Further, each safety device 5 has a pair of braking members wedges 19 which can be brought into contact with and separated from the car guide rail 2, and a pair of wedges 19 connected to the wedges 19 to displace the wedges 19 with respect to the car 3. And a pair of guide portions 21 fixed to the support member 18 and guiding the wedge 19 displaced by the actuator portion 20 in a direction in contact with the car guide rail 2. . The pair of wedges 19, the pair of actuator sections 20 and the pair of guide sections 21 are respectively symmetrically arranged on both sides of the car guide rail 2.

The guide portion 21 has an inclined surface 22 that is inclined with respect to the car guide rail 2 so that the distance from the car guide rail 2 decreases upward. Wedge 1 9 is slope 2 Displaced along 2 The actuator section 20 is provided with a spring 23, which is an urging section for urging the wedge 19 to the upper guide section 21 side, and a guide section 21 against the urging of the spring 23 by an electromagnetic force generated by energization. And an electromagnetic magnet 24 for displacing the wedge 19 downward so as to separate.

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. A permanent magnet 25 facing the electromagnetic magnet 24 is fixed to the wedge 19. Electromagnet 24 is energized by battery 12 (see Fig. 1) by closing contact point 16 (see Fig. 1). The emergency stop device 5 is actuated by shutting off the power to the electromagnetic magnet 24 by opening the contact portion 16 (see Fig. 1). That is, the pair of wedges 19 is 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. During normal operation, the contact 16 is closed. As a result, power is supplied to the electromagnetic magnet 24 from the battery 12. The wedge 19 is attracted to and held by the electromagnetic magnet 24 by the electromagnetic force generated by energization, and is separated from the car guide rail 2 (FIG. 2).

For example, when the speed of the car 3 is increased to the first overspeed due to the cutting of the main rope 4 or the like, the brake device of the hoist operates. When the speed of the car 3 further increases and reaches the second overspeed even after the operation of the brake device of the hoisting machine, the contact portion 16 is opened. As a result, the power supply to the electromagnetic magnet 24 of each safety device 5 is cut off, and the wedge 19 is displaced upward with respect to the car 3 by the bias of the spring 23. At this time, the wedge 19 is displaced along the inclined surface 22 while contacting the inclined surface 22 of the plan interior 21. Due to this displacement, the wedge 1.9 comes into contact with the car guide rail 2 and is pressed. The wedge 19 is further displaced upward by the contact with the power guide rail 2 and is inserted between the car guide rail 2 and the guide portion 21. As a result, a large frictional force is generated between the car guide rail 2 and the wedge 19, and the car 3 is braked (FIG. 3).

When releasing the braking of car 3, the electromagnetic magnet 2

Raise car 3 while power is applied to 4. As a result, the wedge 19 is displaced downward and is separated from the car guide rail 2. In such an elevator system, since the switch section 11 connected to the battery 12 and each safety device 5 are electrically connected, the speed abnormality of the car 3 detected by the governor 6 is checked. An electric operation signal can be transmitted from the switch section 11 to each safety device 5, and the car 3 can be braked in a short time after the abnormal speed of the car 3 is detected. As a result, the braking distance of the car 3 can be reduced. In addition, the safety devices 5 can be easily operated synchronously, and the car 3 can be stopped stably. Further, since the emergency stop device 5 is operated by an electric operation signal, it is possible to prevent a malfunction due to a swing of the car 3 or the like. In addition, the safety device 5 includes an actuator portion 20 for displacing the wedges 19 to the upper guide portion 21 side and an inclination for guiding the wedges 19 to be displaced upward in a direction in contact with the car guide rail 2. Since the guide portion 21 including the surface 22 is provided, the pressing force of the wedge 19 against the car guide rail 2 can be reliably increased when the car 3 is descending.

Also, the actuator section 20 has a spring 23 for urging the wedge 19 upward and an electromagnetic magnet 24 for displacing the wedge 19 downward against the urging of the spring 23. However, the wedge 19 can be displaced with a simple configuration. Embodiment 2

FIG. 4 is a configuration diagram schematically showing an elevator apparatus according to Embodiment 2 of the present invention. In the figure, the car 3 has a car main body 27 provided with a car doorway 26 and a car door 28 for opening and closing the car doorway 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. An output unit 32 electrically connected to the car speed sensor 31 is mounted in the control panel 13. A battery 12 is connected to the output section 32 via a power cable 14. From the output unit 32, electric power for detecting the speed of the car 3 is supplied to the car speed sensor 31. The output unit 32 receives the speed detection signal from the car speed sensor 31.

At the lower part of the car 3, a pair of emergency stop devices 33 serving as braking means for braking the car 3 is mounted. The output section 3 2 and each safety gear 3 3 are connected to the wiring for safety gear 1 7 Are electrically connected to each other. The output unit 32 outputs an operation signal, which is electric power for operation, to the safety gear 33 when the speed of the car 3 is the second overspeed. The emergency stop device 33 is activated by input of an activation signal.

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 serving as a braking member that can be brought into contact with and separated from the car guide rail 2, an actuator portion 35 connected to a lower portion of the wedge 34, and an upper portion of the wedge 34. And a guide part 36 fixed to the car 3. The wedge 34 and the actuator section 35 are provided so as to be able to move up and down with respect to the guide section 36. The wedge 34 is displaced upward with respect to the guide portion 36, that is, is displaced toward the guide portion 36, and is guided by the guide portion 36 in the direction in which it contacts the car guide rail 2.

The actuator section 35 includes a cylindrical contact section 37 that can be moved toward and away from the car guide rail 2, an operation mechanism 38 that displaces the contact section 37 in a direction that is moved toward and away from the car guide rail 2, And a support portion 39 for supporting the contact portion 37 and the operating mechanism 38. The contact portion 37 is lighter than the wedge 34 so that it can be easily displaced by the actuation mechanism 3.8. The operating mechanism 38 is movable so that it can reciprocate between a contact position where the contact portion 37 is in contact with the car guide rail 2 and an open position where the contact portion 37 is separated from the car guide rail 2. It has a unit 40 and a drive unit 41 for displacing the movable unit 40.

The support portion 39 and the movable portion 40 are provided with a support guide hole 42 and a 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 mounted in the support guide hole 42 and the movable guide hole 43. The contact portion 37 slides in the movable guide hole 43 with the reciprocal displacement of the movable portion 40, and is displaced along the longitudinal direction of the support guide hole 42. As a result, the contact portion 37 is moved toward and away from the car guide rail 2 at an appropriate angle. When the contact portion 37 comes into contact with 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.

A horizontal guide hole 47 extending in the horizontal direction is provided at an upper portion of the support portion 39. The wedge 34 is slidably mounted in the horizontal guide hole 47. That is, the wedges 3 4 Reciprocating displacement is possible in the horizontal direction with respect to the part 39.

The guide portion 36 has an inclined surface 44 and a contact surface 45 arranged so as to sandwich the car guide drain 2. The inclined surface 44 is inclined with respect to the car guide rail 2 so that the distance from the car guide rail 2 becomes smaller upward. The contact surface 45 can be moved toward and away from the car guide rail 2. Wedge 34 and actuator

The wedge 34 is displaced along the inclined surface 44 with the upward displacement of the guide 35 relative to the guide portion 36. As a result, the wedge 34 and the contact surface 45 are displaced so as to approach each other, and the car guide rail 2 is sandwiched between the wedge 34 and the contact surface 45.

FIG. 7 is a front view showing the driving section 41 of FIG. In the figure, the driving section 41 has a disc spring 46 as an urging section attached to the movable section 40, and an electromagnetic magnet 48 for displacing the movable section 40 by an electromagnetic force caused by energization. ing.

The movable portion 40 is fixed to a central portion of the disc spring 46. The disc spring 46 is deformed by the reciprocating displacement of the movable part 40. The biasing direction of the disc spring 46 is reversed between the contact position (solid line) and the separation position (two-dot broken line) of the movable part 40 due to the deformation caused by the displacement of the movable part 40. ing. The movable portion 40 is held at the contact position and the separation position by the bias of the disc spring 46. That is, the contact state and the separated state of the contact portion 37 with the car guide rail 2 are held by the urging of the disc spring 46. The electromagnetic magnet 48 has a first electromagnetic unit 49 fixed to the movable unit 40, and a second electromagnetic unit 50 arranged to face the first electromagnetic unit 49. The movable section 40 is displaceable with respect to the second electromagnetic section 50. The emergency stop wiring 17 is connected to the electromagnetic magnet 48. The first electromagnetic unit 49 and the second electromagnetic unit 50 generate an electromagnetic force by the input of the operation signal to the electromagnetic magnet 48, and are repelled by each other. The first electromagnetic unit 49 is moved by the input of an operation signal to the electromagnetic magnet 48.

With 40, it is displaced away from the second electromagnetic unit 50.

The output unit 32 outputs a return signal for return after the operation of the emergency stop mechanism 5 at the time of return. The first electromagnetic unit 49 and the second electromagnetic unit 50 are attracted to each other by the input of the return signal to the electromagnetic magnet 48. Other configurations are the same as in Embodiment 1.

Next, the operation will be described. During normal operation, the movable part 40 is in the open position The contact portion 37 is separated from the car guide rail 2 by the urging of the disc spring 46. In a state in which the contact portion 37 is separated from the car guide rail 2, the wedge 34 is separated from the car guide rail 2 by keeping a distance from the guide portion 36. When the speed detected by the car speed sensor 31 becomes the first overspeed, the brake device of the hoist operates. Thereafter, when the speed of the car 3 increases and the speed detected by the car speed sensor 31 becomes the second overspeed, an operation signal is output from the output section 32 to each of the emergency stop devices 33. Due to the input of the operation signal to the electromagnetic magnet 48, the first electromagnetic unit 49 and the second electromagnetic unit 50 repel each other. The movable portion 40 is displaced to the contact position by the electromagnetic repulsion. Along with this, the contact portion 37 is displaced in a direction in which it comes into contact with the car guide rail 2. By the time the movable portion 40 reaches the contact position, the biasing direction of the disc spring 46 reverses to the direction in which the movable portion 40 is held at the contact position. As a result, the contact portion 37 comes into contact with and is pressed against the car guide rail 2, and the wedge 34 and the actuator portion 35 are braked.

Since the car 3 and the guide portion 36 descend without being braked, the guide portion 36 is displaced to the lower side of the wedge 34 and the actuator portion 35. Due to this displacement, the wedge 34 is guided along the inclined surface 44, and the car guide rail 2 is sandwiched between the wedge 34 and the contact surface 45. The wedges 34 are displaced further upward by the contact with the car guide rails 2 and are inserted between the car guide rails 2 and the inclined surfaces 44. As a result, a large frictional force is generated between the car guide drain 2 and the wedge 34 and between the car guide rail 2 and the contact surface 45, and the car 3 is braked.

Upon return, a return signal is transmitted from the output unit 32 to the electromagnetic magnet 48. Thereby, the first electromagnetic unit 49 and the second electromagnetic unit 50 are attracted to each other, and the movable unit 40 is displaced to the separated position. Accordingly, the contact portion 37 is displaced in a direction in which the contact portion 37 is separated from the car guide rail 2. By the time the movable portion 40 reaches the separation position, the biasing direction of the disc spring 46 is reversed, and the movable portion 40 is held at the separation position. In this state, the car 3 is raised, and the pressing of the wedges 3 4 and the contact surface 45 against the car guide rail 2 is released.

In such an elevator apparatus, the same effect as that of the first embodiment is obtained, and a car speed sensor 31 is provided in the hoistway 1 to detect the speed of the car 3. Therefore, there is no need to use a governor and a governor rope, and the installation space of the entire elevator apparatus can be reduced.

Further, the actuator section 35 has a contact section 37 that can be brought into contact with and separated from the car guide rail 2 and an operating mechanism 38 that displaces the contact section 37 in a direction that comes into contact with and separates from the car guide rail 2. Therefore, by making the weight of the contact portion 37 lighter than that of the wedge 34, the driving force of the operating mechanism 38 on the contact portion 37 can be reduced, and the operating mechanism 38 can be downsized. it can. Furthermore, the weight of the contact portion 37 can be reduced, the displacement speed of the contact portion 37 can be increased, and the time required for generation of the braking force can be reduced.

In addition, since the drive unit 41 has a disc spring 46 that holds the movable unit 40 at the contact position and the separation position, and an electromagnetic magnet 48 that displaces the movable unit 40 when energized, The energization of the electromagnetic magnet 48 only when the movable part 40 is displaced allows the movable part 40 to be reliably held at the contact position or the separation position. Embodiment 3.

Further, a car speed sensor 31 is electrically connected to the output section 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 unit 59, the speed of the car 3 and the open / closed state of the car entrance 26 are grasped by the input of the speed detection signal and the opening / closing detection signal. The output section 59 is connected to an emergency stop device 33 via an emergency stop wiring 17. The output unit 59 outputs an operation signal when the car 3 moves up and down with the car entrance 26 open with the speed detection signal from the car speed sensor 31 and the open / close detection signal from the door opening / closing sensor 58. Output. The operation signal is transmitted to the safety device 33 through the safety wire 17. Other configurations are the same as those of the second embodiment. In such an elevator device, a car speed sensor 31 for detecting the speed of the car 3 and a door open / close sensor 58 for detecting the open / closed state of the car door 28 are electrically connected to the output unit 59, The operation signal is output from the output unit 59 to the safety device 33 when the car 3 descends with the car entrance 26 open, so that the car entrance 26 is open. Of the car 3 can be prevented from lowering.

The emergency stop device 33 may be mounted upside down on the car 3. In this way, it is possible to prevent the car 3 from rising when the car entrance 26 is open. Embodiment 4.

FIG. 9 is a configuration diagram schematically showing an elevator apparatus according to Embodiment 4 of the present invention. In the figure, the main rope 4 has a cutting detection lead 61 inserted therein, which is a rope break detecting means for detecting a break in the main rope 4. A weak current is flowing through the disconnection detection conductor 61. Whether or not the main rope 4 has been cut is detected by whether or not a weak current is applied. The output section 62 mounted on the control panel 13 is electrically connected to the disconnection detection lead 61. When the disconnection detection conductor 61 is disconnected, a rope disconnection signal, which is a disconnection signal for energizing the disconnection detection conductor 61, is input to the output unit 62. The car speed sensor 31 is electrically connected to the output unit 62.

The output unit 62 is connected to an emergency stop device 33 via an emergency stop wiring 17. The output section 62 outputs an operation signal when the main rope 4 is cut, based on a speed detection signal from the car speed sensor 31 and a rope cutting signal from the cutting detection lead 61. The operation signal is transmitted to the safety device 33 through the safety wire 17. Other configurations are the same as those of the second embodiment.

In this example, the car speed abnormality judgment criterion, which is the abnormality judgment criterion for the speed of the car 3, and the car acceleration abnormality judgment criterion, which is the abnormality judgment criterion for the acceleration of the car 3, are stored in the storage unit 113. .

FIG. 19 · is a graph showing the car speed abnormality determination criteria stored in the storage unit 113 of FIG. In the figure, the elevator section of the car 3 in the hoistway 1 (the section between one terminal floor and the other terminal floor) includes a car 3 where the car 3 is accelerated or decelerated near the other terminal floor. A deceleration section and a constant speed section in which the car 3 moves at a constant speed between the acceleration / deceleration sections are provided.

In the car speed abnormality judgment criteria, three levels of detection patterns are set corresponding to the position of car 3. In other words, the car speed abnormality judgment criterion includes the normal speed detection pattern (normal level) 1 15 which is the speed of car 3 during normal operation, and the first speed which is larger than the normal speed detection pattern 1 15. The abnormal speed detection pattern (first abnormal level) 1 16 and the second abnormal speed detection pattern (second abnormal level) 1 17 that is larger than the first abnormal speed detection pattern 1 16 It is set corresponding to the position of car 3.

Each is set so as to be smaller as a whole. The difference between the 1st abnormal speed detection pattern 1 16 and the normal speed detection pattern 1 15 and the difference between the 2nd abnormal speed detection pattern 1 17 and the 1st abnormal speed detection pattern 1 16 Each is set to be almost constant at all locations in the area. FIG. 20 is a graph showing the car acceleration abnormality determination criteria stored in the storage unit 113 of FIG. In the figure, three levels of detection patterns are set corresponding to the position of the car 3 in the car acceleration abnormality determination criterion. In other words, the car acceleration abnormality determination criterion includes a normal acceleration detection pattern (normal level) 118, which is the acceleration of the car 3 during normal operation, and a value larger than the normal acceleration detection pattern 118. 1 Abnormal acceleration detection pattern (1st abnormal level) 1 19 and 2nd abnormal acceleration detection pattern (2nd abnormal level) 1 2 0 Each is set corresponding to the position of car 3.

The normal acceleration detection pattern 1 18, the first abnormal acceleration detection pattern 1 19 and the second abnormal acceleration detection pattern 1 220 have a positive value in one acceleration / deceleration section so that the value becomes zero in the constant speed section.

That is, the storage unit 113 stores the normal speed detection pattern 115, the first abnormal speed detection pattern 116 and the second abnormal speed detection pattern 117 as car speed abnormality determination criteria, The normal acceleration detection pattern 1 18, the first abnormal acceleration detection pattern 1 19, and the second abnormal acceleration detection pattern 1 20 are stored as car acceleration abnormality determination criteria.

The output section 114 has an emergency stop device 33, a control panel 102, a hoisting machine

106, the detecting means 112 and the storage part 113 are electrically connected to each other. The output section 114 receives a position detection signal from the car position sensor 109, a speed detection signal from the car speed sensor 110, and an acceleration detection signal from the car acceleration sensor 111. Each is continuously input over time. The output unit 114 calculates the position of the car 3 based on the input of the position detection signal, and the speed of the car 3 and the speed of the car 3 based on the input of the speed detection signal and the acceleration detection signal. Multiple types of acceleration

(Two types in this example) are calculated as the abnormality determination factors.

The output section 1 14 indicates that the speed of car 3 has exceeded the 1st abnormal speed detection pattern 1 16 Or when the acceleration of the car 3 exceeds the first abnormal acceleration detection pattern 1 19, an operation signal (trigger signal) is output to the hoisting machine brake device 104. The output unit 114 outputs a stop signal for stopping the drive of the hoisting machine 101 to the control panel 102 simultaneously with the output of the operation signal to the hoisting machine brake device 104. It is supposed to. Further, the output unit 114 outputs a signal when the speed of the car 3 exceeds the second abnormal speed detection pattern 1 17 or when the acceleration of the car 3 exceeds the second abnormal acceleration detection pattern 120. An operation signal is output to the upper machine brake device 104 and the emergency stop device 33. That is, the output unit 114 determines the braking means that outputs the operation signal according to the degree of abnormality in the speed and acceleration of the car 3.

Other configurations are the same as those 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 caro speed detection signal from the car acceleration sensor 111 are input to the output unit 114 The output unit 114 calculates the position, speed, and acceleration of the car 3 based on the input of each detection signal. After that, the output unit 114 outputs the car speed abnormality judgment criterion and the car acceleration abnormality judgment criterion respectively obtained from the storage unit 113, and the speed and the speed of the car 3 calculated based on the input of each detection signal. The acceleration and the acceleration are compared to detect whether or not each of the speed and the acceleration of the car 3 is abnormal.

During normal operation, the speed of car 3 has almost the same value as the normal speed detection pattern, and the acceleration of car 3 has almost the same value as the normal acceleration detection pattern. It is detected that there is no abnormality in the speed and acceleration of the car 3, and normal operation of the elevator is continued.

For example, if for some reason the speed of car 3 rises abnormally and exceeds the first abnormal speed detection pattern 1 16, the output section 1 14 detects that there is an abnormality in the speed of car 3. The operation signal is output from the output unit 114 to the hoisting machine brake device 106, and the stop signal is output to the control panel 102, respectively. As a result, the hoist 101 is stopped, the hoist braking device 106 is operated, and the rotation of the drive sheave 104 is braked. Also, when the acceleration of the car 3 abnormally increases and exceeds the first abnormal acceleration set value 1 19, the operation signal and the stop signal are transmitted to the hoisting machine brake device 106 and the control panel 102. The output is output from the output sections 114, respectively, and the rotation of the drive sheave 104 is braked. When the speed of the car 3 further increases after the operation of the hoist brake device 106 and exceeds the second abnormal speed set value 1 17, the operation signal to the hoist brake device 106 is provided. An output signal is output from the output section 114 to the safety device 33 while maintaining the output of. 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.

Also, when the acceleration of the car 3 further increases after the operation of the hoisting machine brake device 106 and exceeds the second abnormal acceleration set value 120, the braking of the hoisting machine brake device 106 is also performed. While maintaining the output of the operation signal, the operation signal is output from the output section 1 14 to the safety device 33, and the safety device 33 is operated.

In such an elevator apparatus, the monitoring device 108 acquires the speed of the car 3 and the acceleration of the car 3 based on the information from the detecting means 112 for detecting the state of the elevator, and acquires the acquired speed of the car 3 When any of the accelerations of the car 3 is judged to be abnormal, an operation signal is output to at least one of the brake device 106 for the hoisting machine and the emergency stop device 33, so that monitoring is performed. The detection of an elevator abnormality by the device 108 can be performed earlier and more reliably, and the time required from the occurrence of the elevator abnormality to the generation of the braking force on the car 3 can be shortened. it can. In other words, the presence or absence of abnormality in a plurality of types of abnormality determination elements such as the speed of the car 3 and the acceleration of the car 3 is separately determined by the monitoring device 108, so that the detection of the elevator abnormality by the monitoring device 108 can be improved. As a result, the time required from the occurrence of an abnormality in the elevator to the generation of the braking force on the car 3 can be shortened.

The monitoring device 108 also stores a car speed abnormality judgment criterion for judging the presence or absence of an abnormality in the speed of the car 3 and a car acceleration abnormality judgment criterion for judging the presence of an abnormality in the acceleration of the car 3. Since the storage unit 1 13 is used, it is possible to easily change the criteria for determining whether or not each of the speed and acceleration of the car 3 is abnormal, and to easily change the design of the elevator. Can respond. Also, the car speed abnormality determination criteria include a normal speed detection pattern 1 15, a first abnormal speed detection pattern 1 16 set to a value larger than the normal speed detection pattern 1 15, and a first abnormal speed detection pattern. The second abnormal speed detection pattern 1 17 which is set to a value larger than 1 16 is set, and the monitoring device 10 0 when the speed of the car 3 exceeds the first abnormal speed detection pattern 1 16 An operation signal is output from 8 to the brake device 106 for the hoisting machine, and when the speed of the car 3 reaches the second abnormal speed detection pattern 1 17 the monitoring device 10 8 Since an operation signal is output to 106 and the safety gear 33, the car 3 can be braked stepwise according to the magnitude of the speed abnormality of the car 3. Therefore, the frequency of applying a large impact to the car 3 can be reduced, and the car 3 can be stopped more reliably.

In addition, the car acceleration abnormality determination criterion includes a normal acceleration detection pattern 1 18 and a first abnormal acceleration detection pattern having a value larger than the normal acceleration detection pattern 1 18.

1 1 9 and the 2nd abnormal acceleration detection pattern 1 20 which is set to a value larger than the 1st abnormal acceleration detection pattern 1 19 are set, and the acceleration of car 3 is set to the 1st abnormal acceleration detection pattern 1 Monitoring device when the load exceeds 1 9 Brake device for the winding machine from 108

An operation signal is output to 106, and the acceleration of car 3 is changed to the second abnormal speed detection pattern 1 2

When 0 is exceeded, the operation signal is output from the monitoring device 108 to the hoisting machine brake device 106 and the emergency stop device 33, so the magnitude of the abnormal acceleration of the car 3 The car 3 can be braked gradually according to Usually, the acceleration of the car 3 occurs before the speed of the car 3 becomes abnormal, so that the frequency of applying a large impact to the car 3 can be further reduced, and the car 3 can be stopped more reliably. Can be done.

Also, the normal speed detection pattern 1 15, the 1st abnormal speed detection pattern 1 16

(2) Since the abnormal speed detection pattern 1 17 is set corresponding to the position of the car 3, the first abnormal speed detection pattern 1 16 and the second abnormal speed detection pattern 1 17 Can be set to correspond to the normal speed detection pattern 1 15 at all positions in the vertical section. Therefore, especially in the acceleration / deceleration section, the normal speed detection pattern 1

Since the value of 15 is small, the 1st abnormal speed detection pattern 1 16 and the 2nd abnormal speed detection Each of the patterns 1 17 can be set to a relatively small value, and the impact on the car 3 due to braking can be reduced.

In the above example, the car speed sensor 110 is used by the monitoring device 108 to obtain the speed of the car 3, but the car position sensor is used without using the car speed sensor 110. The speed of the car 3 may be derived from the position of the car 3 detected by the sensor 109. That is, the speed of the car 3 may be obtained by differentiating the position of the car 3 calculated based on the position detection signal from the car position sensor 109.

Also, in the above example, the car acceleration sensor 111 is used by the monitoring device 108 to acquire the acceleration of the car 3, but the car position sensor 1 11 is used without using the car acceleration sensor 111. The acceleration of the car 3 may be derived from the position of the car 3 detected by 09. That is, 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.

Further, in the above example, the output unit 114 determines the braking means that outputs the operation signal in accordance with the degree of abnormality in the speed and acceleration of the car 3 which is each abnormality determination element. However, the braking means for outputting the operation signal may be determined in advance for each abnormality determining element. Embodiment 1 2.

The state of the car door 28 is compared with the speed of the car 3 and the presence or absence of an abnormality in the state of the car 3 and the state of the car entrance 26 is detected.

During normal operation, the speed of car 3 has almost the same value as the normal speed detection pattern, and car entrance 26 when car 3 is moving up and down is closed. It is detected that there is no abnormality in each of the speed of the car 3 and the state of the car entrance 26, and the normal operation of the elevator is continued.

For example, if for some reason the speed of car 3 rises abnormally and exceeds the first abnormal speed detection pattern 1 16 (Fig. 19), the output section will indicate that the speed of car 3 is abnormal. Detected by 114, the operation signal is output from the output unit 114 to the hoisting machine brake device 106, and the stop signal is output to the control panel 102. As a result, the hoisting machine 101 is stopped, the hoisting machine brake device 106 is operated, and the rotation of the drive sheave 104 is braked.

In addition, even when the car entrance 26 is not closed when the car 3 is raised and lowered, the abnormality of the car entrance 26 is detected by the output section 114, and the operation signal and A stop signal is output from the output unit 114 to the hoisting machine brake device 106 and the control panel 102, respectively, and the rotation of the drive sheave 104 is braked.

If the speed of the car 3 further increases after the operation of the hoisting machine brake device 106 and exceeds the second abnormal speed set value 1 17 (Fig. 19), the hoisting machine brake device 10 To 6 While the output of the operation signal is maintained, the operation signal is output from the output section 114 to the safety device 33. As a result, the emergency stop device 33 is actuated, and the car 3 is braked by the same operation as in the second embodiment.

In such an elevator device, the monitoring device 108 acquires the speed of the car 3 and the condition of the car entrance 26 based on the information from the detecting means 112 detecting the condition of the elevator, and the acquired car 3 When it is determined that any of the speed of the car and the state of the car entrance 26 is abnormal, an operation signal is output to at least one of the brake device 106 for the hoisting machine and the emergency stop device 33. , The number of objects to be detected for elevator abnormalities increases, and it is possible to detect not only abnormalities in the speed of car 3 but also abnormalities in the status of car entrance 26 and elevator abnormalities by monitoring device 108. Can be detected earlier and more reliably. Therefore, it is possible to further reduce the time required from the occurrence of an elevator abnormality to the generation of the braking force on the car 3.

In the above example, only the state of the car doorway 26 is detected by the door sensor 140, but the respective states of the car doorway 26 and the landing doorway 141 are detected by the door sensor 140. You may make it detect. In this case, the displacement of each landing door 142 to the door closed position is detected by the door sensor 140 together with the displacement of each car door 28 to the door closed position. In this way, an abnormality in the elevator is detected even when, for example, the car door 28 is displaced due to a failure of an engagement device for engaging the car door 28 and the landing door 142 with each other. can do. Embodiment 16

FIG. 29 is a configuration diagram schematically showing an elevator apparatus according to Embodiment 16 of the present invention. FIG. 30 is a configuration diagram showing an upper portion of the hoistway 1 of FIG. In the figure, a power supply cable 150 is electrically connected to the hoist 101. Drive power is supplied to the hoisting machine 101 through the power supply cable 150 under the control of the control panel 102.

The power supply cable 150 includes a current sensor 1 serving as a driving device detecting unit that detects a state of the hoisting machine 101 by measuring a current flowing through the power supply cable 150. 5 1 is installed. The current sensor 151 outputs a current detection signal (drive device state detection signal) corresponding to the current value of the power supply cable 150 to the output unit 114. Note that the current sensor 15 1 is arranged above the hoistway 1. Further, as the current sensor 151, a current transformer (CT) for measuring an induced current generated according to the magnitude of the current flowing through the power supply cable 150, or the like can be given.

A car position sensor 1109, a car speed sensor 1.10, and a current sensor 151 are electrically connected to the output section 114. The detecting means 112 has a car position sensor 109, a car speed sensor 110 and a current sensor 151.

The storage unit 113 stores the same car speed abnormality determination criterion as in the embodiment 11 as shown in FIG. 19 and a drive criterion for determining whether there is an abnormality in the state of the hoisting machine 101. The moving device abnormal judgment criterion is stored.

The drive device abnormality determination criterion has three stages of detection patterns. That is, the drive device abnormality determination criteria include a normal level which is a current value flowing through the power supply cable 150 during normal operation, a first abnormal level which is larger than the normal level, and a first abnormal level which is larger than the first abnormal level. The second abnormal level is set to a large value. The output unit 114 calculates the position of the car 3 based on the input of the position detection signal, and the speed of the car 3 and the winding machine 10 based on the respective input of the speed detection signal and the current detection signal. The state of 1 is calculated as each of multiple (two in this example) abnormality judgment factors.

The output unit 114 determines whether the drive unit is abnormal when the speed of the car 3 exceeds the first abnormal speed detection pattern 1 16 (Fig. 19) or the magnitude of the current flowing through the power supply cable 150. When the value exceeds the value of the first abnormal level in the reference, an operation signal (trigger signal) is output to the brake device 104 for the hoisting machine. In addition, the output unit 114 detects when the speed of the car 3 exceeds the second abnormal speed detection pattern 1 17 (FIG. 19) or when the magnitude of the current flowing through the power supply cable 150 is When the value of the second abnormal level in the criterion is exceeded, a brake device 1

0 4 and emergency stop device 3 The operation signal is output to 3. That is, the output unit 114 responds to the degree of abnormality of the speed of the car 3 and the state of the hoist 101, respectively. Then, the braking means for outputting the operation signal is determined.

Other configurations are the same as those 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 section 114, the output In the unit 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. After that, the output unit 114 outputs the speed of the car 3 calculated based on the input of the detection signal and the car speed abnormality judgment criterion and the drive device abnormality judgment criterion respectively obtained from the storage unit 113. The magnitude of the current in the power supply cable 150 is compared with the magnitude of the current in the power supply cable 150, and the presence or absence of abnormality in each of the speed of the car 3 and the state of the winder 101 is detected.

During normal operation, the speed of the car 3 is almost the same as the normal speed detection pattern 1 15 (Fig. 19), and the current flowing through the power supply cable 150 is at the normal level. The output unit 114 detects that there is no abnormality in the speed of the car 3 and the state of the winding machine 101, respectively, and normal operation of the elevator is continued. For example, if for some reason the speed of car 3 rises abnormally and exceeds the first abnormal speed detection pattern 1 16 (Fig. 19), the output section will indicate that the speed of car 3 is abnormal. Detected by 114, the operation signal is output from the output unit 114 to the hoisting machine brake device 106, and the stop signal is output to the control panel 102. As a result, the hoist 101 is stopped, the brake device 106 for the hoist is operated, and the rotation of the drive sheave 104 is braked.

Also, when the magnitude of the current flowing through the power supply cable 150 exceeds the first abnormal level in the drive device state abnormality determination criterion, the operation signal and the stop signal are transmitted to the hoisting machine brake device 106 and the control unit. The output is output from the output unit 114 to the panel 102, and the rotation of the drive sheave 104 is braked.

If the speed of the car 3 further increases after the operation of the hoisting machine brake device 106 and exceeds the second abnormal speed set value 1 17 (Fig. 19), the hoisting machine brake device 10 While maintaining the output of the operation signal to 6, the operation signal is output to the safety gear 33 from the output section 114. As a result, the emergency stop device 33 is operated, and the second embodiment differs from the second embodiment. Car 3 is braked by the same operation.

Also, if the magnitude of the current flowing through the power supply cable 150 after the operation of the hoisting machine brake device 106 exceeds the second abnormal level in the drive device abnormality abnormality criterion, the hoisting operation is also performed. While maintaining the output of the operation signal to the machine brake device 106, the operation signal is output from the output unit 114 to the safety device 33, and the safety device 33 is activated.

In such an elevator apparatus, the monitoring device 108 acquires the speed of the car 3 and the state of the winding machine 101 based on information from the detecting means 112 for detecting the state of the elevator, and acquires the acquired information. When it is determined that there is an abnormality in any of the speed of the car 3 and the state of the hoist 101, at least one of the brake device 106 for the hoist and the emergency stop device 33 is required. Since an operation signal is output, the number of elevator abnormality detection targets increases, and the time required from the occurrence of an elevator abnormality to the generation of braking force on car 3 can be shortened. it can.

Note that, in the above example, the current hoist is configured to detect the state of the hoisting machine 101 by using the current sensor 151 that measures the magnitude of the current flowing through the power supply cable 150. The state of the hoist 101 may be detected using a temperature sensor that measures the temperature of the machine 101.

In Embodiments 11 to 16 described above, the output unit 114 outputs the operation signal to the hoisting machine brake device 106 before outputting the operation signal to the emergency stop device 33. Although it is undulating, it is mounted separately from the safety device 3 on the car 3, a car brake that brakes the car 3 by sandwiching the car guide rail 2, mounted on the counterweight 107, and a counterweight A counterweight that guides 107 A counterweight brake that sandwiches the guide rail, or a counterweight brake that brakes 107, or a main rope that is provided in the hoistway 1 and restrains the main rope 4 An output signal may be output to the output unit 1 14 to the rope brake that brakes 4.

In Embodiments 1 to 16, the electric cable is used as the transmission means for supplying power from the output unit to the safety gear. However, the transmitter provided in the output unit and the safety gear mechanism are provided. Alternatively, a wireless communication device having a receiver provided in the device may be used. Further, an optical fiber cable for transmitting an optical signal may be used. In Embodiments 1 to 16 described above, the emergency stop device brakes against excessive speed (movement) of the car in the downward direction. However, the emergency stop device is turned upside down. It is also possible to attach a car to the car and brake it against overspeed (movement) in the upward direction. Embodiment 1 7.

Next, FIG. 31 is a configuration diagram showing an elevator apparatus according to Embodiment 17 of the present invention. In the figure, a pair of car suspension wheels 202 a and 202 b are provided below the car 201. Above the counterweight 203, a counterweight suspension wheel 204 is provided. The car 201 is guided up and down the hoistway by a car guide rail (not shown). The counterweight 203 is guided by a counterweight guide rail (not shown) and is moved up and down in the hoistway.

In the lower part of the hoistway, a drive device for raising and lowering the basket 201 and the counterweight 203

(Winding machine) 205 is installed. The driving device 205 includes a driving sheave 206 and a driving device main body 207 for rotating the driving sheep 206. The driving device main body 2007 includes a motor and a brake device.

The car 201 and the counterweight 203 are suspended in the hoistway in a 2: 1 roving manner by a plurality of main ropes 208 (only one is shown in the figure). At the upper part of the hoistway, rope end supports 219 a and 219 b are fixed. The main rope 208 is the car-side end connected to the rope end supports 219a and 219b.

(Catch side hitchend) 208a and counterweight side end (counterweight hitchend) 208b.

At the upper part in the hoistway, a car-side turnover wheel 2009 and a counterweight-side turnover wheel 210 are provided.

In addition, the main ropes 208 are, in order from the car side end 208 a side, a car suspension car 202 b, a car back car 200, a drive sheep 206, a balancing It is wound around the weight return wheel 210 and the counterweight suspension wheel 204 and reaches the counterweight side end 208b.

A governor 2 1 1 is installed above the hoistway. Governor 2 1 1 is the car 2 It has a governor sheep 2 12 rotated at a speed corresponding to the traveling speed of 01. A governor rope 2 13 is wound around the governor sheave 2 12. Both ends of the governor rope 2 13 are connected to the car 201. At the lower end of the governor rope 2 13, a governor rope tensioning wheel 2 14 for applying tension to the governor rope 2 13 is provided.

The speed governor 2 i 1 is provided with a speed sensor 2 15 for generating a signal for detecting the traveling speed of the car 201. As the speed sensor 215, for example, an encoder is used.

The operation of the driving device 205 is controlled by the elevator controller 216. The elevator controller 216 determines the position and speed of the car 201 based on the signal from the speed sensor 215, creates a traveling pattern of the car 201, and controls the driving device 205 Control.

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

Examples of the emergency stop device include the emergency stop devices (linear emergency stop) 5, 33, 77, and 78 described in Embodiments 1 to 16.

Further, a mechanical emergency stop device conventionally used may be used as the emergency stop device. In this case, an actuator unit that grips the governor rope 2 13 by inputting an operation signal from the elevator control unit 2 16 may be provided at or near the governor 2 11.

At an upper part in the hoistway, a car vibration detector 217 that generates a signal for detecting vibration of the car side end portion 208 a is provided. The car vibration detector 2 17 receives a vibration and generates a voltage signal corresponding to the vibration. Car vibration detector 2 1

The signal from 7 is input to a mischief detection unit (mischief determination processing unit) 218. The tamper detection unit 218 detects the sway of the car due to the tamper based on the signal from the car vibration detector 217 and sends a tamper detection signal to the elevator control unit 216. In addition, the mischief detection section 218 stores a reference value and a judgment program for judging whether or not the car shake is caused by mischief, and executes a calculation processing of the judgment program. Processing unit (CPU), RAM, input / output unit, etc.

When the mischief detection signal is input, the elevator control unit ₂ ₁₆ moves the car 201 to the nearest floor and stops it.

FIG. 32 is an enlarged front view showing the vicinity of the car vibration detector 2 17 of FIG. 31. FIG. 33 is a side view showing the vicinity of the car vibration detector 2 17 of FIG. In the figure, a shackle opening 2 221 is connected to each car side end 208 a. Each shackle rod '221 passes through the rope end support 219a.

An upper spring receiver 222 is attached to the upper end of each shirtcle rod 222. A spring (flexible body) 223 is interposed between each upper spring receiver 222 and the rope end support 219a.

In addition, an attachment member 224 is attached to the upper end of each shackle socket 221. At an upper end of one of the mounting members 224, a car vibration detector 217 is mounted.

Next, the operation will be described. When the car 201 shakes due to mischief by a passenger or the like, the car shake is transmitted to the car vibration detector 2 17 via the main rope 2 13. The car vibration detector 2 17 generates a voltage signal according to the vertical vibration. The voltage signal generated by the car vibration detector 217 is sent to the tamper detector 218.

The tamper detection unit 218 compares the input voltage signal with a preset reference value, and determines whether the degree of car swing is at a level that affects the overspeed detection by the elevator control unit 216. Is determined.

If the degree of car shake is negligible, the car 201 is driven as it is. If the degree of car shake has reached a preset level, a tampering detection signal is input from the tampering detection section 218 to the elevator control section 216. The car 201 is moved to the nearest floor and stopped. At this time, it is also possible to issue an alarm or announcement in the car 201.

Further, when the mischief detection signal is input, an alarm or an announcement is issued in the car 201, and the car 201 may be stopped at the nearest floor only when the car continues to shake. That is, the control when the mischief detection signal is output can be variously changed.

In such an elevator system, the vibration generated in the car 201 is measured by the car vibration detector 217 through the main rope 208 corresponding to the position of the car 201 for a length. . In addition, the vibration of the car 201 is transmitted to the governor 211 via the governor rope 21 for a length corresponding to the position of the car 201. Therefore, the vibration detected by the car vibration detector 2 17 is substantially equal to the vibration affecting the speed sensor 2 15 provided in the governor 2 11.

In this manner, the vibration of the car-side end 208a of the main rope 208 is detected by the car vibration detector 217, and the degree of car sway is determined by the detector 218 based on the detection signal. This makes it possible to more reliably prevent an overspeed from being erroneously detected due to a car shake caused by mischief. In addition, it is possible to prevent erroneous detection of car shaking due to mischief.

In Embodiment 17, the elevator apparatus that detects the overspeed based on the signal from the speed sensor 215 and brakes the car 201 was described. However, a conventional mechanical governor and a mechanical governor were used. The present invention can be applied to a combination of an emergency stop device and an elevator device, and can accurately detect a car shake caused by mischief. Embodiment 18

Next, FIG. 34 is a front view showing a main part of an elevator apparatus according to Embodiment 18 of the present invention. In this example, a weighing device 225 for detecting the accumulated weight of the car 201 is provided with a car vibration detector for detecting a sway due to mischief. The weighing device 2 25 includes a detection pulley 2 26 rotatably supported above the hoistway, a detection wire 2 27 wound around the detection pulley 2 26, and a detection pulley 2 2 6. An angle sensor 228 for generating a signal for detecting a rotation angle. The angle sensor 228 also serves as a car vibration detector that generates a signal for detecting a car shake.

A first end of the detection wire 227 is connected to an upper end of one of the mounting members 224. The second end of the detection wire 227 is connected to the rope end support portion 219a via a spring 229. The spring 225 applies a tension to the detection wire 227. The angle sensor 228 is mounted on the detection pulley 226. Other configurations are the same as in Embodiment 17.

Next, the operation will be described. The springs 222 expand and contract according to the load weight in the car 201. The attachment member 224 is vertically displaced in accordance with the expansion and contraction of the spring 223. Since the first end of the detection wire 222 is connected to the mounting member 222, when the mounting member 222 is displaced, the detection pulley 222 rotates by an angle corresponding to the amount of displacement. Is done. That is, the rotation angle of the detection pulleys 226 corresponds to the load weight in the car 201. Therefore, by processing the output signal from the angle sensor 228, the loaded weight in the car 201 can be measured.

Originally, the weight change of the car 201 is a static change, and therefore, a circuit with 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 car shake caused by mischief is about 1 to 5 Hz, and a processing circuit with a short sampling cycle is required to detect such shake. Therefore, in the eighteenth embodiment, a processing circuit for detecting a car swing is provided separately from the processing circuit for measuring the loaded weight.

Based on the detection result of the car shake detection processing circuit, the mischief detecting section 218 determines whether the car shake is caused by mischief. Therefore, it is possible to more reliably prevent an overspeed from being erroneously detected due to a car shake caused by mischief, and prevent a car shake caused by mischief from being erroneously detected.

In addition, since the existing angle sensor 228 can be used as a vibration detector for detecting a car shake, an increase in cost can be suppressed. Embodiment 19 Next, FIG. 35 is a configuration diagram showing an elevator apparatus according to Embodiment 19 of the present invention. In the figure, the elevator control unit controls the operation of the driving device 205 and the like, and the driving device 205 and the emergency stop device stop the car 201 when the elevator is abnormal. It has a safety monitoring section 2 32.

The tampering detection signal from the tampering detection section 2 18 is input to a safety monitoring section 2 32 independent of the operation control section 2 31. When the tampering detection signal is input to the safety monitoring section 232, the safety switch 232a of the safety monitoring section 232 is turned off, and the power supply to the driving device 205 is cut off. As a result, the driving of the motor of the driving device 205 is stopped, the driving sheave 206 is braked by the brake device, and the car 201 is emergency stopped. Other configurations are the same as those of the seventeenth embodiment.

According to such a configuration, even when the operation control unit 231 runs out of control, it is possible to more reliably prevent an overspeed from being erroneously detected due to a sway of the car due to mischief. This can prevent erroneous detection of car shaking due to

In Embodiment 19, the mischief detection unit 2 18 can be a part of the safety monitoring unit 2 32. Embodiment 20.

Next, FIG. 36 is a configuration diagram showing an elevator apparatus according to Embodiment 20 of the present invention. In the figure, the tampering detection signal from the tampering detection unit 218 is selectively input to one of the operation control unit 231 and the safety monitoring unit 232 according to the detected level of the car swing. You.

For example, if the car swing level is lower than a preset level, a mischief detection signal is input to the operation control section 231, and the car 201 is moved to the nearest floor and stopped. If the level of the car sway is equal to or higher than the preset level, a tamper detection signal is input to the safety monitoring section 232, and the car 201 is emergency stopped. As described above, it is also possible to execute different control after the detection of the car sway according to the level of the car sway. Embodiment 21.

Next, FIG. 37 is a configuration diagram showing an elevator apparatus according to Embodiment 21 of the present invention. In the figure, a drive device 205 and a deflector wheel 233 are arranged above the hoistway. A main rope 208 is wound around the drive sheave 206 and the deflector wheel 2 33.

The car side end 208 of the main rope 208 is connected to the upper part of the car 201, the counterweight side end 208b of the main rope 208 is the counterweight 2 0 Connected to the top of 3. That is, the car 201 and the counterweight 203 are suspended in a 1: 1 roving 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 2 11 1 is equipped with a governor vibration detector 2 35 that generates a signal for detecting the vibration of the governor 2 11. Signals from the car vibration detector 234 and the governor vibration detector 235 are input to the tamper detector 218. Other configurations are the same as those of the seventeenth embodiment.

FIG. 38 is a flowchart showing the operation of the mischief detection unit 218 of FIG. During normal operation of the elevator, the tamper detector 2 18 monitors whether or not the governor 211 has vibrated based on the signal from the governor vibration detector 235 (Step S). 1). If the vibration of the governor 2 1 1 is not detected, the 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 more than the first reference value (step S2). The first reference value is set lower than the vibration level at which overspeed is erroneously detected.

If the vibration of the governor 2 11 is equal to or greater than the first reference value, a tampering detection signal is output to the elevator control unit 2 16 (step S 3).

If the vibration of the governor 211 is less than the first reference value, then it is checked whether the degree of vibration of the governor 211 is greater than or equal to the second reference value (step S4). The second reference value is, of course, set lower than the first reference value. If the degree of vibration is less than the second reference value, normal operation is continued.

If the vibration of the governor 2 1 1 is greater than or equal to the second reference value and less than the first reference value, Based on the signal from the output device 234, it is confirmed whether the car 201 has vibrated (step S5). If the torsion of the car 201 is not detected, the normal operation is continued.

When the vibration of the car 201 is detected, it is determined that the vibration is likely to be caused by the mischief of the passenger, and a mischief detection signal is output (step S3). As a method of controlling the elevator after the mischief detection signal is output, for example, any one of the embodiments 17, 19, and 20 can be implemented. Specifically, for example, when a mischief detection signal is output, a control method of stopping the car 201 at the nearest floor can be applied. If 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. If the value is equal to or more than the value and the vibration of the basket 201 is detected, a control method for stopping the basket 201 to the nearest floor can be applied.

In such an elevator device, 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. The vibration of the governor 211 can be detected earlier, and it can be more accurately determined whether or not the vibration of the governor 211 is caused by the swing of the car 201. Therefore, it is possible to more reliably prevent an overspeed from being erroneously detected due to a car due to mischief, and to prevent a car shake due to mischief from being erroneously detected.

The car vibration detector can be placed anywhere as long as it can detect the swing of the car. For example, as shown in Embodiments 17 to 20, in the case of a 2: 1 roving type elevator apparatus, the vibration of the car is indirectly detected by detecting the vibration at the car side end of the main rope. May be detected.

When the car vibration detector is mounted on the car, the car vibration detector may be provided in either the car frame or the car room. However, by providing the car vibration detector directly in the car room, the car vibration detector can be used for mischief of passengers in the car room. Can be detected more reliably. In addition, when a car vibration detector is installed in a car room, it is possible to increase the detection sensitivity of the car shake by installing the car vibration detector at the top of the car room rather than at the bottom of the car room fixed to the car frame. it can. Embodiment 22.

Next, FIG. 39 is a configuration diagram showing an elevator apparatus according to Embodiment 22 of the present invention. In this example, the governor rope 2 13 is connected to the car 201 via the damping device 2 36. FIG. 40 is an enlarged side view of the vibration damping device 236 of FIG.

The signal from the car vibration detector 217 is input to the tampering detection unit 218 via the DZA converter 237 and the filter 238. The filter 238 detects car vibration due to the difference between the vibration transmission characteristics from the car 201 to the governor 211 and the vibration transmission characteristics from the car 201 to the car vibration detector 217. Correct the detection error of the detector 2 17.

That is, the vibration detected by the car vibration detector 217 by passing through the filter 238 is approximated to the vibration of the governor 211. In the filter 238, the weight of the cab is Ml, the weight of the car frame supporting the cab M2, the rigidity of the vibration isolating rubber provided between the cab and the car frame K1, and the main rope 20 The detection signal is corrected using parameters such as the stiffness Kr of 8, the spring stiffness Kc of the vibration damping device 236, and the stiffness Kg of the governor rope 2 13.

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

As a result, it is possible to more reliably prevent an overspeed from being erroneously detected due to a car shake caused by mischief, and prevent a car shake caused by mischief from being erroneously detected.

The correction by the filter 238 can also be applied to an elevator device that does not use the vibration damping device 236.

Also, in the mischief determination algorithm of Embodiment 21, the determination accuracy is improved by applying a correction by a filter 238 to a signal from the governor vibration detector 235 and the cage vibration detector 234. Can be improved.

In addition, it is possible to apply multiple filters to one detection signal. Noh. FIG. 42 is an explanatory diagram showing an example in which two types of correction 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 judging the fluctuation of the governor. Further, by applying a correction based on the transfer characteristic B from the detection position to the car, the corrected signal can be used for determining the swing of the car. Therefore, the swing of the car and the swing of the governor can be detected by using one vibration detector, and the control method as described in Embodiment 21 can be implemented.

Furthermore, in order to apply the filter for the transfer characteristics to various types of elevators, a driving operation for identifying the transfer characteristics may be performed immediately after the elevator is installed.

Further, the parameters used for the filter are not limited to the above example, and may include, for example, a rising stroke and a capacity.
