Definitions

  • the object of the invention is a method as defined in the preamble of claim 1 and an apparatus as defined in the preamble of claim 12 for reducing the swinging of the ropes of an elevator, and also an elevator as defined in the preamble of claim 18.
  • elevators with large travel heights i.e. so-called high- rise elevators or mega-high-rise elevators
  • the hoisting ropes are very long and consequently weigh a lot.
  • compensating ropes must thus be used in high-rise elevators to compensate the weight of the hoisting ropes.
  • a problem in these types of elevators is that, owing to the large length of the ropes, the ropes swing rather a lot in the elevator hoistway when the wind sways the building.
  • Swinging of the ropes can be a safety risk, especially if the ropes fall into resonance with the building. While swinging, the ropes can hit or stick to other shaft structures and break these structures. If the swinging of the ropes cannot be prevented or reduced, it can be necessary to stop the elevator when the building is swaying so that the structures would not be damaged and the safety of the passengers would not be endangered. Stopping of the elevator causes nuisance to passengers, among other things.
  • the compensating ropes do not usually hang freely in the elevator hoistway, but instead, e.g. in an elevator suspended with a suspension ratio of 1:1, a diverting pulley is normally fitted in the bottom part of the elevator hoistway, below which diverting pulley the compensating ropes are guided to pass.
  • the diverting pulley of the compensating ropes which diverting pulley hereinafter is referred to as a compensator pulley, is generally fitted to the guide rails, guided by which it can move in the vertical direction. When the ropes are swinging, the compensator pulley moves back and forth in the vertical direction.
  • US5861084 presents a solution, in which the tension of the compensating ropes is increased by means of a hydraulic apparatus when the building sways.
  • a problem of this solution is, however, that it requires control of the amount of additional tension produced on the ropes in relation to the swaying of the building. For this reason the solution is complex and difficult to implement and therefore is not advantageous either.
  • Another drawback of this solution is that the tension of the ropes can only be increased to a certain limit. If the building sways a lot and the ropes swing a lot, it may not be possible to increase the tension sufficiently and the elevator may have to be stopped also in this solution.
  • the aim of this invention is to eliminate the aforementioned drawbacks and to achieve a simple and inexpensive method and apparatus for reducing the swinging of the ropes of an elevator, by means of which solution falling of the ropes of the elevator into permanent resonance with the building when the building sways can be prevented.
  • the method according to the invention is characterized by what is disclosed in the characterization part of claim 1.
  • the apparatus according to the invention is characterized by what is disclosed in the characterization part of claim 12.
  • the elevator according to the invention is characterized by what is disclosed in the characterization part of claim 18.
  • Other embodiments of the invention are characterized by what is disclosed in the other claims.
  • inventive content may also consist of several separate inventions, especially if the invention is considered in the light of expressions or implicit sub-tasks or from the point of view of advantages or categories of advantages achieved.
  • some of the attributes contained in the claims below may be superfluous from the point of view of separate inventive concepts.
  • the different details presented in connection with each embodiment of the invention can also be applied in other embodiments.
  • at least some of the subordinate claims can at least in suitable situations be deemed to be inventive in their own right .
  • An advantage of the solution according to the invention is that the swinging of the ropes in the elevator hoistway can be reduced sufficiently, in which case the ropes do not fall into permanent resonance with the building and the risk of the ropes hitting the shaft structures diminishes.
  • Another advantage is that there is no need to stop the elevator in all major swaying situations but instead the elevator can also be used during greater swaying of the building compared to the situation in which the solution according to the invention would not be in use.
  • a further advantage is that in normal drive, i.e. when the building does not sway, the tension of the compensating ropes can be kept normal, in which case there is no need for additional tensioning weight in case of a possible swaying situation.
  • a problem of the additional weight is, among other things, that it unnecessarily stresses the machinery, bearings and support structures, which for this reason must be made to withstand more stress, in which case the costs are increased again.
  • An additional advantage is that there is no need to actively control the tension of the ropes according to the amount of swaying. Active devices preventing the swinging of the ropes are complex, vulnerable to defects and expensive. A further advantage is that the solution is operationally reliable, simple and inexpensive to implement.
