Description

エレベーター装置Elevator equipment
　本発明はエレベーター昇降路の一端部に巻上機を備え、該巻上機により巻き上げられるワイヤーにより、人を運ぶケージとカウンターウェイトとを釣り合い状態で連結するトラクション式エレベーター装置に関する。 The present invention relates to a traction type elevator apparatus that includes a hoisting machine at one end of an elevator hoistway, and connects a cage carrying a person and a counterweight in a balanced state by a wire wound up by the hoisting machine.
　従来のトラクション式エレベーター装置にあっては、基本的には、エレベーター昇降路の一端部（上端部又は下端部）に巻上機を固定配設し、該巻上機により巻き上げるワイヤーの両端にそれぞれカウンターウェイトとケージを連結し、該カウンターウェイトにより上記巻上機の負担を軽減する構成となっている。 In the conventional traction type elevator device, basically, a hoisting machine is fixedly arranged at one end (upper end or lower end) of the elevator hoistway, and the wire is wound up by the hoisting machine. A counterweight and a cage are connected to each other, and the counterweight reduces the burden on the hoisting machine.
　又下記特許文献１乃至４に示すように、上記巻上機をエレベーター昇降路の一端部に複数台配置し、該複数台の巻上機によりケージを昇降動させて個々の巻上機のモータ容量を低減するエレベーター装置が種々開発されている。 Also, as shown in the following Patent Documents 1 to 4, a plurality of the hoisting machines are arranged at one end of the elevator hoistway, and the cages are moved up and down by the hoisting machines, and the motors of the individual hoisting machines are arranged. Various elevator devices for reducing the capacity have been developed.

　上記した従来のトラクション式エレベーター装置にあっては、エレベーター昇降路の一端部に固定して配設する巻上機により巻上負荷及び巻上速度を担わなければならず、巻上機自体や巻上機の制御を改良しなければ有効に省電力を図れない構造となっている。 In the conventional traction type elevator apparatus described above, the hoisting load and the hoisting speed must be borne by the hoisting machine fixed and arranged at one end of the elevator hoistway, and the hoisting machine itself and the hoisting machine It has a structure that cannot save power effectively without improving the control of the upper machine.
　特にケージの昇降動速度を高速化する場合やケージを大型化する場合には、巻上機に使用するモータの出力を増大せねばならず、省電力化に逆行する状況となっている。 Especially when the speed of raising and lowering the cage is increased or when the cage is enlarged, the output of the motor used in the hoisting machine must be increased, which is a situation that goes against power saving.
　上記各特許文献のように、巻上機を複数台にしたとしても、結局は装置全体が負担する巻上負荷を各巻上機のモータが分担しているだけで、巻上速度による負担は変わらないため、装置全体の省電力は図れていない。 Even if a plurality of hoisting machines are used as in each of the above patent documents, the hoisting load that the entire apparatus bears is only shared by the motor of each hoisting machine, and the burden due to the hoisting speed changes. Therefore, power saving of the entire apparatus cannot be achieved.
　又上記従来のトラクション式エレベーター装置にあっては、単なる釣瓶の如くケージとカウンターウェイトとが釣り合っている状態であり、基本的にはケージとカウンターウェイトとは同一距離を同一速度で相対昇降動することとなる。 In the conventional traction type elevator apparatus, the cage and the counterweight are in a balanced state like a simple fishing bottle. Basically, the cage and the counterweight are moved up and down at the same speed and at the same speed. It will be.
　従ってエレベーター昇降路内にはケージが最下位から最上位まで昇降動するスペースと、これと同一の長さのカウンターウェイトが昇降動するスペースを確保せねばならず、ビル内におけるエレベーター昇降路のスリム化の観点から問題点を有している。 Therefore, it is necessary to secure a space for the cage to move up and down from the lowest position to the highest position in the elevator hoistway and a space for the counterweight of the same length to move up and down. It has a problem from the viewpoint of making it easier.
　又ケージと同一速度でカウンターウェイトが相対昇降動するため、ケージの昇降動速度を上げれば上げるほど、その二倍の相対速度でケージとカウンターウェイトとが行き交うこととなり安全面に関する問題点をも有している。 Since the counterweight moves up and down at the same speed as the cage, the higher the cage is moved up and down, the more the cage and counterweight crosses at twice the relative speed. is doing.
　本発明は従来のトラクション式エレベーター装置の構造を抜本的に改良して有効に省電力化を図り、更にはエレベーター昇降路内のスペースを徒に増大することなくカウンターウェイトの昇降動距離及び昇降動速度を制限することができるエレベーター装置を提供する。 The present invention drastically improves the structure of a conventional traction type elevator device to effectively save power, and further increases and decreases the lifting and lowering distance of the counterweight without increasing the space in the elevator hoistway. An elevator apparatus capable of limiting the speed is provided.
　要述すると、本発明に係るエレベーター装置はワイヤーによりケージとカウンターウェイトとを釣り合い状態をもって連結し当該ワイヤーを巻き上げる巻上機の負担を軽減するトラクション式エレベーター装置であって、エレベーター昇降路の一端部に配設される一対又は複数対の第一巻上機を備え、更に上記ケージの外部上端又は外部下端の少なくとも一方に配設され同ケージと共に昇降動する第二巻上機を少なくとも上記第一巻上機と同数備え、上記ワイヤーの一端を上記カウンターウェイトの上端に連結し、同ワイヤーの中途部を上記第一巻上機のドラムに巻きつけると共に上記第二巻上機のドラムに巻きつけ、同ワイヤーの他端を上記カウンターウェイトの下端に連結して全体として環状のワイヤーラインを形成する構成を有し、上記各第二巻上機が上記ワイヤー上を自走しつつ上記各第一巻上機を補完することにより省電力化を図る。即ちケージ昇降動時の巻上負荷のみならず巻上速度をも上記第一・第二巻上機に振り分けることができ、各巻上機のモータの使用電力を低減し省電力化を有効に達成する。又第二巻上機によりカウンターウェイトの昇降動距離及び昇降動速度を制限し、エレベーター昇降路内のスペースを有効活用しつつカウンターウェイトを安全に昇降動することができる。 In short, the elevator apparatus according to the present invention is a traction type elevator apparatus that reduces the burden on a hoisting machine that connects a cage and a counterweight with a wire in a balanced state and winds the wire, and is one end of an elevator hoistway. A pair or a plurality of pairs of first hoisting machines, and at least a second hoisting machine disposed at least one of the upper and lower outer ends of the cage and moving up and down with the cage. Provide the same number as the hoisting machine, connect one end of the wire to the upper end of the counterweight, wind the middle part of the wire around the drum of the first hoisting machine and wind it around the drum of the second hoisting machine The other end of the wire is connected to the lower end of the counterweight to form an annular wire line as a whole, Serial Each second hoisting machine power saving by complementing each first hoisting machine while the self-propelled on said wire. That is, not only the hoisting load at the time of raising and lowering the cage but also the hoisting speed can be distributed to the first and second hoisting machines, and the power consumption of the motors of each hoisting machine can be reduced and power saving can be effectively achieved. To do. Further, the lifting and lowering speed of the counterweight is limited by the second hoisting machine, and the counterweight can be lifted and lowered safely while effectively utilizing the space in the elevator hoistway.
　好ましくは上記ワイヤーは上記第一・第二巻上機の双方により巻き上げられる第一ワイヤーと、上記第二巻上機のみにより巻き上げられる第二ワイヤーとから成る構造とし、上記第一・第二巻上機のそれぞれに掛かる負担をバランスよく軽減する。 Preferably, the wire has a structure composed of a first wire wound up by both the first and second hoisting machines and a second wire wound only by the second hoisting machine, and the first and second windings. Reduce the burden on each machine with a good balance.
　又上記第一ワイヤーに連結するカウンターウェイトと上記第二ワイヤーに連結するカウンターウェイトとを別個独立のものとし、それぞれのカウンターウェイトを別々に昇降動、例えば上下に直列に昇降動させることができる。 Also, the counterweight connected to the first wire and the counterweight connected to the second wire can be made independent, and each counterweight can be moved up and down separately, for example, vertically moved up and down in series.
　他方上記第一ワイヤーに連結するカウンターウェイトと上記第二ワイヤーに連結するカウンターウェイトとを共通のものとし、単数のカウンターウェイトを上記第一ワイヤーと上記第二ワイヤーの協働により安全に昇降動させることができる。 On the other hand, the counterweight connected to the first wire and the counterweight connected to the second wire are made common, and a single counterweight is moved up and down safely by the cooperation of the first wire and the second wire. be able to.
　本発明にあっては、エレベーター昇降路内に固定配設した第一巻上機をケージと共に昇降動する第二巻上機が補完し、ケージ昇降動時の巻上負荷及び巻上速度を適切に第一巻上機と第二巻上機に振り分けることができるため、各巻上機のモータ出力を抑えることができ、もって省電力化に貢献できる。 In the present invention, the first hoisting machine fixedly disposed in the elevator hoistway is supplemented by the second hoisting machine that moves up and down together with the cage, so that the hoisting load and hoisting speed at the time of raising and lowering the cage are appropriate. Moreover, since it can distribute to a 1st hoisting machine and a 2nd hoisting machine, the motor output of each hoisting machine can be suppressed and it can contribute to power saving.
　又ケージと共に昇降動しワイヤー上を自走する第二巻上機によりカウンターウェイトの昇降動距離及び昇降動速度を制限し、安全なるカウンターウェイトの昇降動とエレベーター昇降路内スペースの有効利用を図ることができる。 In addition, the second hoist that moves up and down with the cage and runs on the wire limits the lifting distance and speed of the counterweight, so that the safe lifting of the counterweight and the effective use of the space in the elevator hoistway can be achieved. be able to.

The power source of the second hoisting machines 4A and 4B is not particularly limited, but a power source in the building or a battery can be used via a power cable hanging from the upper end of the elevator hoistway.
≪釣り合い構造≫
　本実施例においては、ワイヤー５Ａの一端にカウンターウェイト２Ａの上端を連結し、同ワイヤー５Ａの中途部を上記第一巻上機３Ａのドラムに巻きつけると共に上記第二巻上機４Ａのドラムに巻きつけ、同様にワイヤー５Ｂの一端にカウンターウェイト２Ｂの上端を連結し、同ワイヤー５Ｂの中途部を上記第一巻上機３Ｂのドラムに巻きつけると共に上記第二巻上機４Ｂのドラムに巻き付け、これらワイヤー５Ａ・５Ｂにより二個のカウンターウェイト２Ａ・２Ｂとケージ１とを釣り合い状態に支持する構造となっている。 ≪Balance structure≫
In this embodiment, the upper end of the counterweight 2A is connected to one end of the wire 5A, and a midway portion of the wire 5A is wound around the drum of the first hoisting machine 3A and the drum of the second hoisting machine 4A. Similarly, the upper end of the counterweight 2B is connected to one end of the wire 5B, and the middle portion of the wire 5B is wound around the drum of the first hoisting machine 3B and wound around the drum of the second hoisting machine 4B. These two wires 5A and 5B support the two counterweights 2A and 2B and the cage 1 in a balanced state.
　換言すると、本実施例に係るエレベーター装置にあっては、ワイヤー５Ａとカウンターウェイト２Ａの上端を直接連結すると共に同ワイヤー５Ａとケージ１の上端とを第二巻上機４Ａを介して連結し、同様にワイヤー５Ｂとカウンターウェイト２Ｂの上端を直接連結すると共に同ワイヤー５Ｂとケージ１の上端とを第二巻上機４Ｂを介して連結し、上記釣り合い構造を形成している。 In other words, in the elevator apparatus according to the present embodiment, the wire 5A and the upper end of the counterweight 2A are directly connected and the wire 5A and the upper end of the cage 1 are connected via the second hoisting machine 4A. Similarly, the wire 5B and the upper end of the counterweight 2B are directly connected, and the wire 5B and the upper end of the cage 1 are connected via the second hoisting machine 4B to form the balance structure.
≪ワイヤー５Ａによるワイヤーライン≫
　図１に示すように、本実施例においては、ワイヤー５Ａは、その一端をカウンターウェイト２Ａの上端に連結し、第一・第二巻上機３Ａ・４Ａのドラム及び滑車６Ａを介して、その他端をカウンターウェイト２Ａの下端に連結し、全体として環状のワイヤーラインを形成している。 ≪Wire line with wire 5A≫
As shown in FIG. 1, in this embodiment, the wire 5A has one end connected to the upper end of the counterweight 2A, and the other via the drum and pulley 6A of the first and second hoisting machines 3A and 4A. The end is connected to the lower end of the counterweight 2A to form an annular wire line as a whole.
　上記のように、ワイヤー５Ａが環状のワイヤーラインを形成しているのは、該ワイヤー５Ａの一端から第二巻上機４Ａのドラムに巻き付けられた箇所までの部分５Ａａ（以下、メインワイヤー部分という。）のワイヤー重量に対して、同ワイヤー５Ａの他端から第二巻上機４Ａのドラムに巻き付けられた箇所までの部分５Ａｂ（以下、コンベンワイヤー部分という。）のワイヤー重量によりバランスを保つためである。 As described above, the wire 5A forms an annular wire line because the portion 5Aa (hereinafter referred to as a main wire portion) from one end of the wire 5A to a portion wound around the drum of the second hoisting machine 4A. In order to maintain balance with the wire weight of the portion 5Ab (hereinafter referred to as the “convex wire portion”) from the other end of the wire 5A to the portion wound around the drum of the second hoisting machine 4A. It is.
≪ワイヤー５Ｂによるワイヤーライン≫
　又同様に、図１において、ワイヤー５Ｂは、その一端をカウンターウェイト２Ｂの上端に連結し、第一・第二巻上機３Ｂ・４Ｂのドラム及び滑車６Ｂを介して、その他端をカウンターウェイト２Ｂの下端に連結し、全体として環状のワイヤーラインを形成しており、該ワイヤー５Ｂの一端から第二巻上機４Ｂのドラムに巻き付けられた箇所までの部分５Ｂａ（メインワイヤー部分）のワイヤー重量に対して、同ワイヤー５Ｂの他端から第二巻上機４Ｂのドラムに巻き付けられた箇所までの部分５Ｂｂ（コンベンワイヤー部分）のワイヤー重量でバランスを保っている。 ≪Wire line with wire 5B≫
Similarly, in FIG. 1, the wire 5B has one end connected to the upper end of the counterweight 2B, and the other end connected to the counterweight 2B via the drum and pulley 6B of the first and second hoisting machines 3B and 4B. Is connected to the lower end of the wire to form an annular wire line as a whole, and the wire weight of the portion 5Ba (main wire portion) from one end of the wire 5B to the portion wound around the drum of the second hoisting machine 4B On the other hand, the balance is maintained by the wire weight of the portion 5Bb (conventional wire portion) from the other end of the wire 5B to the portion wound around the drum of the second hoisting machine 4B.
≪ケージ及びカウンターウェイトの昇降動≫
　上記の構造の本実施例に係るエレベーター装置において、第二巻上機４Ａは第一巻上機３Ａがワイヤー５Ａを巻き上げる際に該第一巻上機３Ａを補完し同第一巻上機３Ａと協働してワイヤー５Ａを巻き上げる。同様に第二巻上機４Ｂは第一巻上機３Ｂがワイヤー５Ｂを巻き上げる際に該第一巻上機３Ｂを補完し同第一巻上機３Ｂと協働してワイヤー５Ｂを巻き上げる。 ≪Raising and lowering of cage and counterweight≫
In the elevator apparatus according to this embodiment having the above-described structure, the second hoisting machine 4A complements the first hoisting machine 3A when the first hoisting machine 3A winds the wire 5A. The wire 5A is wound up in cooperation with. Similarly, when the first hoisting machine 3B winds the wire 5B, the second hoisting machine 4B complements the first hoisting machine 3B and winds the wire 5B in cooperation with the first hoisting machine 3B.
　そのため、従来装置のように、エレベーター昇降路７に固定配設された巻上機のみでワイヤーを巻き上げていた場合に比して、本発明の第一巻上機３Ａ・３Ｂ及び第二巻上機４Ａ・４Ｂに用いる各モータの出力を低減することができる。 Therefore, as compared with the case where the wire is wound only by the hoisting machine fixedly arranged in the elevator hoistway 7 as in the conventional device, the first hoisting machines 3A and 3B and the second hoisting of the present invention The output of each motor used in the machines 4A and 4B can be reduced.
　ここで、トラクション式エレベーター装置の作動原理について説明する。通常、トラクション式エレベーター装置にあっては、「カウンターウェイト重量」は「ケージ重量」と「定員時の乗員の総体重の半分」の和の重量に設定されており、この「カウンターウェイト重量」と「ケージ重量と乗員の総体重（乗員ゼロのときを含む）の和」の釣り合いバランスにより巻上機のモータ作動又はブレーキ解除を行う。 Here, the operating principle of the traction type elevator device will be described. Normally, in a traction type elevator device, the “counter weight” is set to the sum of “cage weight” and “half the total weight of the passengers when seating”. The motor of the hoisting machine is operated or the brake is released according to the balance of “the sum of the cage weight and the total weight of the occupant (including when the occupant is zero)”.
　即ちケージが昇動する際においては、「ケージ重量と乗員の総体重の和」＞「カウンターウェイト重量」のときに巻上機のモータが作動する。
　逆に「ケージ重量と乗員の総体重の和」＜「カウンターウェイト重量」のときには巻上機のブレーキを解除すればケージは昇動する。
　そして、ケージが昇動する際における巻上機のモータの最大出力（以下、ケージ昇動時最大出力という。）は、ケージに定員の乗員が乗っているときの出力である。 That is, when the cage moves up, the motor of the hoisting machine operates when “the sum of the cage weight and the total weight of the occupant”> “counterweight weight”.
Conversely, when “the sum of the cage weight and the total weight of the occupant” <“counterweight weight”, the cage moves up by releasing the brake of the hoist.
The maximum output of the motor of the hoisting machine when the cage is lifted (hereinafter referred to as the maximum output when the cage is lifted) is an output when a passenger is seated in the cage.
　又ケージが降動する際、即ちカウンターウェイトが昇動する際においては、「カウンターウェイト重量」＞「ケージ重量と乗員の総体重の和」のときに巻上機のモータが作動する。
　逆に「カウンターウェイト重量」＜「ケージ重量と乗員の総体重の和」のときには巻上機のブレーキを解除すればケージは降動する。
　そして、ケージが降動する際における巻上機のモータの最大出力（以下、ケージ降動時最大出力という。）は、ケージに乗員がゼロのときの出力である。 When the cage descends, that is, when the counterweight moves up, the motor of the hoisting machine operates when “counterweight weight”> “sum of cage weight and total body weight of passenger”.
Conversely, when “counterweight weight” <“sum of cage weight and total passenger weight”, the cage descends if the brake of the hoisting machine is released.
The maximum output of the hoisting motor when the cage descends (hereinafter referred to as the maximum output when the cage descends) is an output when the number of passengers in the cage is zero.
　次いで本実施例におけるケージ１の昇動時及び降動時の第一巻上機３Ａ・３Ｂ，第二巻上機４Ａ・４Ｂのモータが作動する場合について説明する。 Next, the case where the motors of the first hoisting machines 3A and 3B and the second hoisting machines 4A and 4B are operated when the cage 1 is raised and lowered in the present embodiment will be described.
　ケージ１が昇動する際には、第一巻上機３Ａによりワイヤー５Ａが図中Ｆ１方向に巻き上げられ、同時に該ワイヤー５Ａにより第二巻上機４Ａはケージ１と共に昇動する。該第二巻上機４Ａは昇動しつつ上記ワイヤー５Ａを第一巻上機３Ａによる巻き上げと同方向に巻き上げて、同ワイヤー５Ａ上を自走する。 When the cage 1 moves up, the wire 5A is wound up in the direction F1 in the figure by the first hoisting machine 3A, and at the same time, the second hoisting machine 4A moves up together with the cage 1 by the wire 5A. The second hoisting machine 4A winds up the wire 5A in the same direction as the hoisting by the first hoisting machine 3A while moving upward, and runs on the wire 5A.
　逆にケージ１が降動する際には、第一巻上機３Ａによりワイヤー５Ａが図中Ｆ２方向に巻き上げられ、同時に該ワイヤー５Ａにより第二巻上機４Ａはケージ１と共に降動する。該第二巻上機４Ａは降動しつつ上記ワイヤー５Ａを第一巻上機３Ａによる巻き上げと同方向に巻き上げて、同ワイヤー５Ａ上を自走する。 Conversely, when the cage 1 descends, the wire 5A is wound up in the direction F2 in the figure by the first hoisting machine 3A, and at the same time, the second hoisting machine 4A descends together with the cage 1 by the wire 5A. The second hoisting machine 4A winds down the wire 5A in the same direction as the hoisting by the first hoisting machine 3A while descending, and runs on the wire 5A.
　よって、ケージ１は第一巻上機３Ａにより巻き上げられるワイヤー５Ａの長さＬ１に第二巻上機４Ａにより巻き上げられる長さＬ２を足した長さを昇降動することとなり、他方、カウンターウェイト２Ａは第一巻上機３Ａにより巻き上げられるワイヤー５Ａの長さＬ１と同じ長さを昇降動することとなる。そのため、「ケージ１の昇降動距離」＞「カウンターウェイト２Ａの昇降動距離」となり、第二巻上機４Ａによりカウンターウェイト２Ａの昇降動距離を制限することができる。 Therefore, the cage 1 moves up and down by adding the length L1 of the wire 5A wound up by the first hoisting machine 3A to the length L2 wound up by the second hoisting machine 4A, while the counterweight 2A. Moves up and down the same length as the length L1 of the wire 5A wound up by the first hoisting machine 3A. For this reason, “the lifting / lowering distance of the cage 1”> “the lifting / lowering distance of the counterweight 2A”, and the lifting / lowering distance of the counterweight 2A can be limited by the second hoisting machine 4A.
　又ケージ１は第一巻上機３Ａによりワイヤー５Ａが巻き上げられる速度に第二巻上機４Ａによりワイヤー５Ａが巻き上げられる速度を足した速度で昇降動するのに対し、カウンターウェイト２Ａは第一巻上機３Ａによりワイヤー５Ａが巻き上げられる速度にて昇降動することとなる。そのため、「ケージ１の昇降動速度」＞「カウンターウェイト２Ａの昇降動速度」となり、第二巻上機４Ａによりカウンターウェイト２Ａの昇降動速度を制限することができる。 The cage 1 moves up and down at a speed obtained by adding the speed at which the wire 5A is wound up by the second winding machine 4A to the speed at which the wire 5A is wound up by the first winding machine 3A, whereas the counterweight 2A The upper machine 3A moves up and down at a speed at which the wire 5A is wound up. Therefore, “the lifting / lowering speed of the cage 1”> “the lifting / lowering speed of the counterweight 2A”, and the lifting / lowering speed of the counterweight 2A can be limited by the second hoisting machine 4A.
　上記のように、本発明にあっては、第二巻上機４Ａが第一巻上機３Ａを補完し、同第二巻上機４Ａによりカウンターウェイト２Ａの昇降動距離と昇降動速度を制限することができる。例えば第一巻上機３Ａと第二巻上機４Ａに同性能のモータを用いた場合、カウンターウェイト２Ａの昇降動距離はケージ１の昇降動距離の半分となり、カウンターウェイト２Ａの昇降動速度はケージ１の昇降動速度の半分となる。又第二巻上機４Ａのモータにより上記制限する昇降動距離及び昇降動速度を自在に調整できる。 As described above, in the present invention, the second hoisting machine 4A supplements the first hoisting machine 3A, and the second hoisting machine 4A limits the lifting distance and the lifting speed of the counterweight 2A. can do. For example, when a motor having the same performance is used for the first hoisting machine 3A and the second hoisting machine 4A, the lifting / lowering distance of the counterweight 2A is half the lifting / lowering distance of the cage 1, and the lifting / lowering speed of the counterweight 2A is It becomes half of the moving speed of the cage 1. Further, the lifting distance and the lifting speed can be freely adjusted by the motor of the second hoisting machine 4A.
　本実施例にあっては、既述のように、カウンターウェイト２Ａ・２Ｂの昇降動距離及び昇降動速度を制限し該カウンターウェイト２Ａ・２Ｂを安全に昇降動することができると共にエレベーター昇降路７内のスペースを有効活用できる。 In this embodiment, as described above, the lifting and lowering speed and the lifting speed of the counterweights 2A and 2B can be limited, and the counterweights 2A and 2B can be lifted and lowered safely, and the elevator hoistway 7 The space inside can be used effectively.
　又第一巻上機３Ａと第二巻上機４Ａの個々は割り振られた巻上負荷と巻上速度を発揮できる出力を備えたモータを使用すれば良く、従来に比して小容量のモータを使用できると共に後記するように使用電力を低減することができる。 Further, each of the first hoisting machine 3A and the second hoisting machine 4A may use a motor having an output capable of exhibiting the allocated hoisting load and hoisting speed, and a motor having a smaller capacity than the conventional motor. Can be used and power consumption can be reduced as will be described later.
　尚第二巻上機４Ｂによるカウンターウェイト２Ｂの昇降動距離及び昇降動速度の制限については、上記説明した第二巻上機４Ａによるカウンターウェイト２Ａの昇降動距離及び昇降動速度の制限と同様であるので、上記説明を援用する。 The limitation on the lifting distance and the lifting speed of the counterweight 2B by the second hoisting machine 4B is the same as the limitation on the lifting distance and the lifting speed of the counterweight 2A by the second hoisting machine 4A described above. Since there is, the above description is used.

(1) Cage weight: 150kg

(3) Second hoisting machine weight of this embodiment: 4 kg (using a motor with an output of 1 kW) × 2 = 8 kg

(9) Output Calculation Formula 1: Output = (“winding load” × “winding speed”) ÷ (“1 kW work per minute” × “energy efficiency”)
≪従来エレベーター装置に要する出力≫
　従来エレベーター装置におけるケージ昇動時最大出力を算出するにあたり、「巻上負荷」は次の式により算出できる。

　式２：巻上負荷＝上記（１）「ケージ重量」＋上記（２）「定員時の乗員総体重」－上記（４）「カウンターウェイト重量」

　よって「巻上負荷」は３２５ｋｇ（１５０ｋｇ＋６５０ｋｇ－４７５ｋｇ）となる。あとは上記（６）の「巻上速度」、上記（７）の「１ｋｗの毎分仕事量」及び上記（８）の「エネルギー効率」を上記式１に入力すれば、出力の計算式は次のとおりとなる。

　式３：出力＝（３２５ｋｇ×５０ｍ／分）÷（６１２０ｋｇ・ｍ／分×０．８）

　上記式３により従来のケージ昇動時最大出力は約３．３２ｋｗとなる。 ≪Output required for conventional elevator equipment≫
In calculating the maximum output during cage ascending in the conventional elevator apparatus, the “winding load” can be calculated by the following equation.

Formula 2: Hoisting load = (1) “Cage weight” + (2) “Total passenger weight when seating” − (4) “Counterweight weight”

Therefore, the “winding load” is 325 kg (150 kg + 650 kg-475 kg). After that, if the “winding speed” in (6) above, “1 kW work per minute” in (7) above, and “energy efficiency” in (8) above are input to Equation 1 above, the calculation formula for output is It becomes as follows.

Formula 3: Output = (325 kg × 50 m / min) ÷ (6120 kg · m / min × 0.8)

According to the above formula 3, the maximum output during conventional cage ascent is about 3.32 kw.
　又従来エレベーター装置におけるケージ降動時最大出力を算出するにあたり、「巻上負荷」は次の式により算出できる。

　式４：巻上負荷＝上記（４）「カウンターウェイト重量」－上記（１）「ケージ重量」

　よって巻上負荷は３２５ｋｇ（４７５ｋｇ－１５０ｋｇ）となる。あとは上記（６）の「巻上速度」、上記（７）の「１ｋｗの毎分仕事量」及び上記（８）の「エネルギー効率」を上記式１に入力すれば出力を算出できるが、この場合、上記式３と同一の計算式となりケージ降動時最大出力は約３．３２ｋｗとなる。 Further, in calculating the maximum output when the cage descends in the conventional elevator apparatus, the “winding load” can be calculated by the following equation.

Formula 4: Hoisting load = (4) “Counterweight weight” − (1) “Cage weight” above

Therefore, the hoisting load is 325 kg (475 kg-150 kg). After that, the output can be calculated by inputting the “winding speed” in (6), “1 kW work per minute” in (7), and “energy efficiency” in (8) into Equation 1 above. In this case, the calculation formula is the same as the above formula 3, and the maximum output when the cage descends is about 3.32 kw.
　従って従来のエレベーター装置に要する出力は最大で約３．３２ｋｗであり、エレベーター昇降路の一端部に配設した巻上機がこれを担う。そのため、巻上機１台のときには約３．３２ｋｗの出力を一台で担い、複数台の場合には各巻上機は約３．３２ｋｗを台数で割った分の出力を担うこととなる。 Therefore, the output required for the conventional elevator apparatus is about 3.32 kw at the maximum, and the hoisting machine disposed at one end of the elevator hoistway takes charge of this. Therefore, when there is one hoisting machine, the output of about 3.32 kw is carried by one unit, and when there are a plurality of hoisting machines, each hoisting machine takes the output of about 3.32 kw divided by the number of units.
≪本実施例のエレベーター装置に要する出力≫
　本実施例のエレベーター装置におけるケージ昇動時最大出力を算出するにあたり、「巻上負荷」は次の式により算出できる。

　式５：巻上負荷＝上記（１）「ケージ重量」＋上記（２）「定員時の乗員総体重」＋上記（３）「本実施例の第二巻上機重量」－上記（４´）「カウンターウェイト重量」

　よって「巻上負荷」は３２５ｋｇ（１５０ｋｇ＋６５０ｋｇ＋８ｋｇ－４８３ｋｇ）となる。あとは上記（６´）の「巻上速度」、上記（７）の「１ｋｗの毎分仕事量」及び上記（８）の「エネルギー効率」を上記式１に入力すれば、出力の計算式は次のとおりとなる。

　式６：出力＝（３２５ｋｇ×２５ｍ／分）÷（６１２０ｋｇ・ｍ／分×０．８）

　上記式６により本実施例におけるケージ昇動時最大出力は約１．６６ｋｗとなる。 ≪Output required for elevator device of this embodiment≫
In calculating the maximum output during cage ascending in the elevator apparatus of the present embodiment, the “winding load” can be calculated by the following equation.

Formula 5: Hoisting load = above (1) “cage weight” + above (2) “occupant total body weight at capacity” + above (3) “second hoisting machine weight of this embodiment” −above (4 ′ ) "Counterweight weight"

Therefore, the “winding load” is 325 kg (150 kg + 650 kg + 8 kg−483 kg). After that, if the “winding speed” in (6 ′), “1 kW work per minute” in (7), and “energy efficiency” in (8) are input to Equation 1, the calculation formula for output Is as follows.

Formula 6: Output = (325 kg × 25 m / min) ÷ (6120 kg · m / min × 0.8)

According to the above equation 6, the maximum output during cage ascending in this embodiment is about 1.66 kw.
　又本実施例のエレベーター装置におけるケージ降動時最大出力を算出するにあたり、「巻上負荷」は次の式により算出できる。

　式７：巻上負荷＝上記（４´）「カウンターウェイト重量」－上記（１）「ケージ重量」－上記（３）「本実施例の第二巻上機重量」

　よって巻上負荷は３２５ｋｇ（４８３ｋｇ－１５０ｋｇ－８ｋｇ）となる。あとは上記（６´）の「巻上速度」、上記（７）の「１ｋｗの毎分仕事量」及び上記（８）の「エネルギー効率」を上記式１に入力すれば、出力を算出できるが、この場合、上記式６と同一の計算式となりケージ降動時最大出力は約１．６６ｋｗとなる。 Further, in calculating the maximum output when the cage descends in the elevator apparatus of this embodiment, the “winding load” can be calculated by the following equation.

Formula 7: Hoisting load = the above (4 ′) “counter weight” —the above (1) “cage weight” —the above (3) “the second hoisting machine weight of this embodiment”

Therefore, the hoisting load is 325 kg (483 kg-150 kg-8 kg). The output can be calculated by inputting the “winding speed” in (6 ′) above, “the work per minute of 1 kW” in (7) above, and “energy efficiency” in (8) above into Equation 1 above. However, in this case, the calculation formula is the same as the above formula 6, and the maximum output when the cage descends is about 1.66 kw.
　従って本実施例にあっては、従来のエレベーター装置における出力の半分の出力で済み、巻上機に使用するモータの省電力化に大いに貢献する。更には、この低出力を４台のモータ、即ち第一巻上機３Ａ・３Ｂ及び第二巻上機４Ａ・４Ｂの各モータに割り振ることができるので、各モータの出力は約０．４２ｋｗ程度となる。 Therefore, in this embodiment, half the output of the conventional elevator device is sufficient, which greatly contributes to power saving of the motor used in the hoisting machine. Furthermore, since this low output can be allocated to four motors, that is, the motors of the first hoisting machines 3A and 3B and the second hoisting machines 4A and 4B, the output of each motor is about 0.42 kW. It becomes.
≪実施例１のまとめ≫
　上記の通り、本実施例に係るエレベーター装置にあっては、エレベーター昇降路７の一端部に固定して配設する第一巻上機３Ａ・３Ｂを第二巻上機４Ａ・４Ｂが補完する。そのため、従来に比して小出力のモータを使用して第一・第二巻上機３Ａ・３Ｂ・４Ａ・４Ｂを構成できるのは勿論のこと、各モータの使用電力を低減することができる。 << Summary of Example 1 >>

≪ケージ及びカウンターウェイトの昇降動≫
　本実施例においても、「ケージ重量と乗員の総体重の和」と「カウンターウェイト重量」（本実施例の場合、カウンターウェイト２Ａ・２Ｂ・２０Ａ・２０Ｂの総重量）とのバランスにより第一巻上機３Ａ・３Ｂと第二巻上機４Ａ・４Ｂのモータの作動又はブレーキ解除を行うことに関しては、前記実施例１・２と同様である。 ≪Raising and lowering of cage and counterweight≫
Also in this embodiment, the first volume is determined based on the balance between “the sum of the cage weight and the total body weight of the occupant” and the “counter weight” (the total weight of the counter weights 2A, 2B, 20A, and 20B in this embodiment). The operation of the motors of the upper machines 3A and 3B and the second hoisting machines 4A and 4B or the release of the brake are the same as in the first and second embodiments.

Further, the limitation on the lifting distance and the lifting speed of the counterweights 20A and 20B by the second hoisting machines 4A and 4B follows this.

If they are the same, the sum of these up-and-down movement distances, that is, the up-and-down movement distance of the cage 1 is twice the up-and-down movement distance of each counterweight.
　換言すると、カウンターウェイト２Ａ・２Ｂは、第一巻上機３Ａ・３Ｂにより第一ワイヤー５Ａ・５Ｂが巻き上げられる長さＬ１分だけ昇降動し、カウンターウェイト２０Ａ・２０Ｂは第二巻上機４Ａ・４Ｂにより第二ワイヤー８Ａ・８Ｂが巻き上げられる長さＬ２分だけ昇降動することとなるが、これらＬ１とＬ２を同長にすれば、これらＬ１とＬ２の和であるケージ１の昇降動距離はＬ１（Ｌ２）の二倍となる。 In other words, the counterweights 2A and 2B are moved up and down by the length L1 by which the first wires 5A and 5B are wound up by the first hoisting machines 3A and 3B, and the counterweights 20A and 20B are moved up and down by the second hoisting machines 4A and 4B. 4B will move up and down by the length L2 by which the second wires 8A and 8B are wound up, but if these L1 and L2 are made the same length, the raising and lowering distance of the cage 1 which is the sum of these L1 and L2 is It becomes twice L1 (L2).
　従って、本実施例においても、前記実施例２と同様に、第一巻上機３Ａ・３Ｂのモータと第二巻上機４Ａ・４Ｂのモータとは同一性能にする。 Therefore, in this embodiment, as in the second embodiment, the motors of the first hoisting machines 3A and 3B and the motors of the second hoisting machines 4A and 4B have the same performance.

If used as a replacement device, it can contribute to power saving and energy saving.
　又装置全体の出力を低減し更には低減した出力を複数台（最低四台）の巻上機で分担するため、巻上機のモータとして新たに大出力のモータを開発することなく規格品のモータを使用でき、頗る経済的である。 In addition, since the output of the entire device is reduced and the reduced output is shared by multiple hoisting machines (minimum of 4 hoisting machines), standard products can be used without developing a new high-power motor as the hoisting machine motor. A motor can be used and it is economical.
　又カウンターウェイトの昇降動距離を制御し、エレベーター昇降路内のスペースを有効活用することができ、ビル内におけるエレベーター昇降路の省スペース化にも貢献できる。 In addition, the lifting / lowering distance of the counterweight can be controlled to effectively use the space in the elevator hoistway and contribute to space saving of the elevator hoistway in the building.
