- the elevator traction machine having the foregoing configuration is primarily mounted on a mount within the shaft.
- the main cable 12 is inserted into the main cable pathways 14 and is wound around the sheave 20.
- the sheave 20 is rotated by means of the electric motor comprising the stator winding 18 and the armature 21.
- the main cable 12 is actuated by means of a frictional force, and the car and the counterweight are vertically moved in opposite directions.
- the sheave 20 is integrally formed with the circularly-recessed member 19 on which the armature 21 is provided as a rotor. Further, the brakes 22 is provided for pressing the brake pieces 26 against the brake surface 191 formed along the interior circumferential surface of the opening edge of the circularly-recessed member 19.
- the circularly-recessed member 19, constituting the drive sheave 20 and the rotor of the electric motor, and the brake 22 are disposed within the space defined by the base member 2 and the support plate 15. As a result, the outer dimension of the elevator traction machine can be diminished, and the elevator traction machine can be made compact.
- Inspection and maintenance on the brakes 22 can be performed by way of the space communicating with the inspection holes 34 formed in the circularly-recessed member 19. Consequently, the space required for installing the traction machine and the space required for performing maintenance and inspection can be reduced, so that the elevator traction machine can be readily installed in a narrow space. Accordingly, there can be eliminated a problem of a limitation imposed on installation of the elevator traction machine and a difficulty in installing the elevator traction machine.

- the electric motor can be readily inspected by removal of the support plate 15, thus improving the efficiency of maintenance.
- the brakes 22 are attached to the support plate 15, and hence the brakes 22 can be easily removed from the base member 2 in conjunction with the support plate 15, thus enabling easy inspection of the brakes 22 and an improvement in the efficiency of maintenance.
- the encoder 31 is disposed at the portion of the end of the main shaft 17 close to the support plate 14. Therefore, the space between the support plate 15 and the base member 2 can be effectively utilized, thus preventing the encoder 31 from projecting from the traction machine.
- the traction machine can be made compact by reducing the outer dimension. Consequently, the space required for installing a traction machine and a space required for performing maintenance and inspection on the traction machine can be reduced, thus facilitating installation of the elevator traction machine.
- the condition of the main cable 12 wound around the sheave 20 can be inspected by way of the inspection holes 34. Further, the main cable latches 35 attached to each of inspection holes 34 can prevent occurrence of a problem of the main cable 12 loosening and coming off the cable grooves formed in the sheave 20.
- the traction machine can be mounted within the shaft by means of a simple configuration. Further, the traction machine can be mounted such that vibrations of the traction machine are isolated by means of a simple configuration; for example, by means of attaching rubber isolators to the legs 13.
- the main cable 12 is inserted into the main cable pathways 14 formed in the legs 13 of the base member 2 and is wound around the sheave 20.
- the main cable 12 can be protected without the need for providing protectors to the entrance and exit of the base member 2, respectively. By means of such a simple configuration, there can be prevented damage to the main cable 12, which would otherwise be caused when a foreign article comes into contact with the main cable 12 at either the entrance or exit of the base member 2.
- the electromagnet mechanism 30 of the brake 22 is energized, and the brake pieces 26 are retained in their receded positions against the pressing force of the brake spring 25, thereby releasing the circularly-recessed member 19; i.e., the sheave 20, from a braked state.
- the electromagnet mechanism 30 of the brake 22 is de-energized, so that the brake spring 5 presses the brake pieces 26 against the brake surface 191 formed along the interior circumferential surface of the opening edge of the circularly-recessed member 19, thus braking the sheave 20.
- the brake springs 25 can be made compact. Accordingly, the brake 22 can be efficiently housed within the circularly-recessed member 19.

- The present invention relates to an elevator traction machine comprising a frame having an electric motor and a sheave integrally provided therein.
- FIGS. 10 and 11 show a conventional elevator traction machine described in, for example, Japanese Patent Publication No. toku-hyo-hei 8-511758. FIG. 10 is a front view showing the traction machine when attached to an elevator guide rail, and FIG. 11 is a cross-sectional view taken along line A-A shown in FIG. 10. In the drawings, reference numeral 1 designates an elevator guide rail constructed in an upright position; 2 designates a ring-shaped recessed base member whose one side is open; 3 designates an opening edge by which the
base member 2 is fixed to the guide rail 1; 4 designates a concave bottom of thebase member 2 from which amain shaft 5 originates at right angles; and 6 designates a stator winding provided on the interior-side surface of thebottom 4 of thebase member 2. -
Reference numeral 7 designates a rotor rotatively supported on themain shaft 5. Anarmature 8 is provided on the surface of therotor 7 facing the interior surface of thebottom 4 of thebase member 2, with the stator winding 6 interposed between thearmature 8 and the interior surface of thebottom 4 of thebase member 2, thus constituting a disk-type electric motor. The outer peripheral edge of therotor 7 facing the interior surface of thebottom 4 is formed into abrake disk 9. The portion of therotor 7 on the side of theopening edge 3 of thebase member 2 is formed into asheave 10 whose diameter is smaller than that of thebrake disk 9.Reference numeral 11 designates an electromagnetic brake which is disposed outside the outer peripheral edge of thebase member 2 and which applies pressing force against thebrake disk 9, to thereby brake therotor 7.Reference numeral 12 designates a main cable wound around thesheave 10. Although not shown in the drawings, one end of themain cable 12 is connected to a car, and the other end of the same is connected to a counterweight. - The conventional elevator traction machine is constructed in the manner as mentioned above and is attached to the back of the guide rail 1 at a position close to the upper end of a shaft (not shown).

Although not shown in the drawing, one end of themain cable 12 is connected to a car, and the other end of themain cable 12 is connected to a counterweight.Reference numeral 31 designates an encoder disposed in the vicinity of the end of themain shaft 17. Theencoder 31 comprisesdetectors 32 attached to thesupport plate 15 and anactuation plate 33 which is connected to the circularly-recessedmember 19 and rotates together with the circularly-recessedmember 19. -
Reference numeral 34 designates inspection holes formed so as to pass through thebase member 2. The inspection holes 34 oppose the rim surface of thesheave 20 and are spaced apart from each other in the circumferential direction of thesheave 20.Reference numeral 35 designates main cable latches fitted to the respective inspection holes 34. Afastening section 36 is formed at on one side of themain cable latch 35, and themain cable latch 35 is fastened to the edge of theinspection hole 34 by means of mount screws 37. Further, an opposingsurface 38 is formed in themain cable latch 35 and is disposed opposite themain cable 12 wound around thesheave 20, with a narrow clearance formed therebetween. (The inspection holes 34 should appear in Fig. 2 but not shown for brevity.) - The elevator traction machine having the foregoing configuration is primarily mounted on a mount within the shaft. The
main cable 12 is inserted into themain cable pathways 14 and is wound around thesheave 20. Thesheave 20 is rotated by means of the electric motor comprising the stator winding 18 and thearmature 21. Themain cable 12 is actuated by means of a frictional force, and the car and the counterweight are vertically moved in opposite directions. - In the configuration shown in FIGS. 1 through 6, the
sheave 20 is integrally formed with the circularly-recessedmember 19 on which thearmature 21 is provided as a rotor. Further, thebrakes 22 is provided for pressing thebrake pieces 26 against thebrake surface 191 formed along the interior circumferential surface of the opening edge of the circularly-recessedmember 19. - The circularly-recessed
member 19, constituting thedrive sheave 20 and the rotor of the electric motor, and thebrake 22 are disposed within the space defined by thebase member 2 and thesupport plate 15. As a result, the outer dimension of the elevator traction machine can be diminished, and the elevator traction machine can be made compact. - Inspection and maintenance on the
brakes 22 can be performed by way of the space communicating with the inspection holes 34 formed in the circularly-recessedmember 19. Consequently, the space required for installing the traction machine and the space required for performing maintenance and inspection can be reduced, so that the elevator traction machine can be readily installed in a narrow space. Accordingly, there can be eliminated a problem of a limitation imposed on installation of the elevator traction machine and a difficulty in installing the elevator traction machine. - The stator winding 18 and the
armature 21 are disposed along the openingedge 3 of thebase member 2 . By virtue of such a configuration, the electric motor can be readily inspected by removal of thesupport plate 15, thus improving the efficiency of maintenance. - Further, the
brakes 22 are attached to thesupport plate 15, and hence thebrakes 22 can be easily removed from thebase member 2 in conjunction with thesupport plate 15, thus enabling easy inspection of thebrakes 22 and an improvement in the efficiency of maintenance. - The
encoder 31 is disposed at the portion of the end of themain shaft 17 close to thesupport plate 14. Therefore, the space between thesupport plate 15 and thebase member 2 can be effectively utilized, thus preventing theencoder 31 from projecting from the traction machine. The traction machine can be made compact by reducing the outer dimension. Consequently, the space required for installing a traction machine and a space required for performing maintenance and inspection on the traction machine can be reduced, thus facilitating installation of the elevator traction machine. - The condition of the
main cable 12 wound around thesheave 20 can be inspected by way of the inspection holes 34. Further, the main cable latches 35 attached to each of inspection holes 34 can prevent occurrence of a problem of themain cable 12 loosening and coming off the cable grooves formed in thesheave 20. - Since the
base member 12 has thelegs 13, the traction machine can be mounted within the shaft by means of a simple configuration. Further, the traction machine can be mounted such that vibrations of the traction machine are isolated by means of a simple configuration; for example, by means of attaching rubber isolators to thelegs 13. Themain cable 12 is inserted into themain cable pathways 14 formed in thelegs 13 of thebase member 2 and is wound around thesheave 20. Themain cable 12 can be protected without the need for providing protectors to the entrance and exit of thebase member 2, respectively. By means of such a simple configuration, there can be prevented damage to themain cable 12, which would otherwise be caused when a foreign article comes into contact with themain cable 12 at either the entrance or exit of thebase member 2. - At the time of vertical travel of the car, the
electromagnet mechanism 30 of thebrake 22 is energized, and thebrake pieces 26 are retained in their receded positions against the pressing force of thebrake spring 25, thereby releasing the circularly-recessedmember 19; i.e., thesheave 20, from a braked state. In contrast, at the time of stopping of the car, theelectromagnet mechanism 30 of thebrake 22 is de-energized, so that thebrake spring 5 presses thebrake pieces 26 against thebrake surface 191 formed along the interior circumferential surface of the opening edge of the circularly-recessedmember 19, thus braking thesheave 20. - As shown in FIG. 4, provided that the pressing force of the
brake spring 25 is taken as C and the pressing force of thebrake pieces 26 is D, the moment centered on thesupport pin 23 is expressed by CxL1=DxL2. Further, D>C can be induced from the relationship L1>L2. - Since the pressing force C of the
brake spring 25 can be made smaller than the pressing force D of thebrake pieces 26, the brake springs 25 can be made compact. Accordingly, thebrake 22 can be efficiently housed within the circularly-recessedmember 19. - FIGS. 7 and 8 show an elevator traction machine according to a second embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 7 is a front view showing an elevator traction machine of the second embodiment, and FIG. 8 is a left-side view of the traction machine shown in FIG. 7, showing the support plate when pivotally moved about a hinge. The remaining portions of the elevator traction machine of the present embodiment other than those illustrated in FIGS. 7 and 8 are constructed in the same manner as shown in FIGS. 1 through 6. In the drawings, those reference numerals which are the same as those provided in FIGS. 1 through 6 designate corresponding elements.
-
Reference numeral 15 designates a support plate, which is comprised of apivotal plate 151, astationary plate 152 and ahinge 153. Thepivotal plate 151 is connected to thehinge 153 and is removably fastened to the upper portion of the openingedge 3 of thebase member 2. Thepivotal plate 151 has thebrake 22 mounted thereon. Thestationary plate 152 is attached to the lower portion of the openingedge 3 of thebase member 2. Thehinge 153 is provided at a position where a portion of thepivotal plate 151 opposes a portion of thestationary plate 152 and connects them together in a pivotable manner. - In the elevator traction machine of the foregoing configuration, the
sheave 20 is integrally formed with the circularly-recessedmember 19 having thearmature 21 provided thereon. Further, there is provided thebrake 22 for pressing thebrake pieces 26 against thebrake surface 191 formed along the interior circumferential surface of the opening edge of the circularly-recessedmember 19. Although not described in detail, the elevator traction machine of the second embodiment shown in FIGS. 7 and 8 yields the same working-effect as that yielded in the first embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 through 6. - In the embodiment shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the
pivotal plate 151 which has thebrake 22 mounted thereon and constitutes an upper portion of thesupport plate 15 is pivotally attached to thestationary plate 152 by means of thehinge 153. As shown in FIG. 8, thepivotal plate 151 released from thebase member 2 is pivotally moved about thehinge 153, thus bringing thebrake 22 into an exposed state. In this state, the maintenance and inspection on thebrake 22 is performed. Thus, maintenance can be readily performed on thebrake 22 or a like component, thus contributing to the efficiency of maintenance operation. - FIG. 9 shows an elevator traction machine according to a third embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 9 is similar to FIG. 1, showing the traction machine while the
support plate 15,brake 22 and the circularly-recessedmember 19 are removed. The remaining portions of the elevator traction machine of the present embodiment other than those illustrated in FIG. 9 are constructed in the same manner as shown in FIGS. 1 through 6. In the drawings, those reference numerals which are the same as those provided in FIGS. 1 through 6 designate corresponding elements. -
Reference numeral 39 designates main cable guides. The main cable guides 39 are provided along the interior surface of thebase member 2 so as to oppose the rim surface of thesheave 20. The main cable guides 39 are spaced a given distance apart from the outer periphery of thesheave 20 in its radial direction and are interposed between the inspection holes 34. - In the elevator traction machine of the foregoing configuration, the
sheave 20 is integrally formed with the circularly-recessedmember 19 having thearmature 21 provided thereon. Further, there is provided thebrake 22 for pressing thebrake pieces 26 against thebrake surface 191 formed along the interior circumferential surface of the opening edge of the circularly-recessedmember 19. Although not described in detail, the elevator traction machine of the third embodiment shown in FIG. 9 yields the same working-effect as that yielded in the first embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 through 6. - In the embodiment shown in FIG. 9, the main cable guides 39 are provided along the interior surface of the
base member 2 so as to oppose the rim surface of thesheave 20. At the time of themain cable 12 being wound around thesheave 20, themain cable 12 is inserted into themain cable pathway 14 of oneleg 13 of thebase member 2, and the leading end of themain cable 12 is guided along the surface of themain cable guide 39 by way of theinspection hole 34. When pushed in this state, themain cable 12 further proceeds deep into thebase member 2 while being guided by themain cable guide 39. - Thereafter, the
main cable 12 is guided by the nextmain cable guide 39 by way of thenext inspection hole 34. Through repetition of these operations, the leading end of themain cable 12 can be pulled out from themain cable pathway 14 of theother leg 13 of thebase member 2. Thus, themain cable 12 can be wound around the cable grooves formed in thesheave 20 without difficulty, thereby improving the efficiency of installation and maintenance of the elevator traction machine. - The features and the effects of the present invention as described above will be summarized as follows.
- In one aspect of the present invention, in an elevator traction machine, a main shaft is originated from a circularly-recessed base member whose one side is open. A circularly-recessed rotating member is provided within the base member in a fitting manner such that the bottom surface of the circularly-recessed rotating member opposes the bottom surface of the base member, and rotatively supported on the main shaft. A sheave is formed on the exterior circumferential surface of the circularly-recessed rotating member facing the bottom portion of the base member. A brake surface is formed on the interior circumferential surface of the edge of the circularly-recessed rotating member. A stator winding is provided on the interior circumferential surface of the base member in the vicinity of the opening edge. An armature is disposed on the outer circumferential surface of the circularly-recessed rotating member in the vicinity of the opening edge. A brake which opposes the brake surface and has brake pieces for applying brake force is disposed in an inner space of the circularly-recessed rotating member.
- As a result, the sheave is integrally formed with the circularly-recessed member having the armature provided thereon. Further, there is provided the brake for pressing the brake pieces against the brake surface formed along the interior circumferential surface of the opening edge of the circularly-recessed member. As a result, the outer dimension of the traction machine can be reduced, and the brake or a like component can be subjected to inspection and maintenance by way of a space communicating with openings formed in the circularly-recessed member. Consequently, the space required for installing the traction machine and the space required for performing maintenance and inspection can be reduced, so that the elevator traction machine can be readily installed in a narrow space. Accordingly, there can be eliminated a problem of a limitation imposed on installation of the elevator traction machine and a difficulty in installing the elevator traction machine.
- In another aspect of the present invention, in an elevator traction machine, a support plate is attached to the opening edge of the base member, to thereby constitute a space between the base member and the support plate, and the main shaft is supported by the bottom of the base member and the support plate.
- Therefore, the sheave, the circularly-recessed member constituting a rotor of the electric motor, and the brake are provided in the space formed between the base member and the support plate. Accordingly, the present invention yields an advantage of reducing the outer dimension of the traction machine; i . e . , an advantage of rendering the traction machine compact.
- In another aspect of the present invention, in an elevator traction machine, an encoder is disposed on the end of the main shaft close to the support plate and detects the rotation of the sheave.
- Therefore, the space between the support plate and the base member can be effectively utilized, thus preventing projection of the encoder from the traction machine. The outer dimension of the traction machine can be reduced, and the traction machine can be made compact. Consequently, the space required for installing a traction machine and a space required for performing maintenance and inspection on the traction machine can be reduced, thus installation of the elevator traction machine is facilitated.
- In another aspect of the present invention, in an elevator traction machine, inspection holes are formed in the base member so as to oppose a rim surface of the sheave and to be spaced apart from each other in the circumferential direction of the rim surface, and the inspection holes are provided with respective main cable latches such that one side of the main cable latch is fastened to the edge of the inspection hole and the other side of the main cable is spaced a narrow clearance apart from the main cable wound around the sheave.
- Therefore, the main cable latch can prevent occurrence of a problem of the main cable loosening and coming off the cable grooves formed in the sheave, thereby the reliability of operation of the traction machine is improved and handling of the traction machine at the time of maintenance is facilitated.
- In another aspect of the present invention, in an elevator traction machine, the legs are integrally formed with the base member, and main cable pathways are formed in the respective legs so as to permit insertion of the main cable.
- Therefore, the main cable is inserted into the main cable pathways formed in the legs of the base member and is wound around the sheave. The main cable can be protected without the need for providing the entrance and exit of the base member with respective protectors. By means of such a simple configuration, there can be prevented damage to the main cable, which would otherwise be caused when a foreign article comes into contact with the main cable at either the entrance or exit of the base member.
- In another aspect of the present invention, in an elevator traction machine, the main cable guide is provided on the interior surface of the base member so as to oppose the rim surface of the sheave and is spaced a given distance apart from the outer periphery of the sheave in the radial direction thereof.
- Therefore, at the time of the main cable being wound around the sheave, the main cable is inserted into a space between the main cable guide and the sheave at one end, and the leading end of the main cable proceeds deep into the base member while being guided along the surface of the main cable guide. The main cable can be withdrawn by way of the space at the other end. As a result, the main cable can be wound around the cable grooves formed in the sheave without involvement of difficulty, thus yielding an advantage of improving the efficiency of installation and maintenance of the elevator traction machine.
- In another aspect of the present invention, in an elevator traction machine, the sheave is disposed on the surface of the circularly-recessed member facing the bottom surface of the base member, and an armature is disposed on the portion of the circularly-recessed member facing the opening edge of the base member.
- Therefore, the stator winding and the armature are disposed on the opening edge of the base member. By virtue of such a configuration, the electric motor can be readily inspected by removal of the support plate, thus the efficiency of maintenance operation is improved.
- In another aspect of the present invention, in an elevator traction machine, the brake is attached to the support plate and is disposed in a space between the support plate and the base member.
- Therefore, the brake can be easily removed from the base member in conjunction with the support plate, thus easy inspection of the brake and an improvement in the efficiency of maintenance operation is enabled.
- In another aspect of the present invention, in an elevator traction machine, the support plate comprises a pivotal plate which has the brake mounted thereon and is removably fastened to the base member; a stationary plate attached to the opening edge of the base member; and a hinge for connecting the pivotal plate and the stationary plate in a pivotable manner.
- Therefore, the pivotal plate released from the base member is pivotally moved around the hinge, thus bringing the brake into an exposed state. In this state, maintenance and inspection on the brake is performed. Thus, maintenance can be readily performed on the brake or a like component, and the efficiency of maintenance operation is improved.
- Obviously many modifications and variations of the' present invention are possible in the light of the above teachings. It is therefore to be understood that within the scope of the appended claims the invention may by practiced otherwise than as specifically described.
