Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to an elevating mechanism and an elevating method for an elevator system. More particularly, it relates to an elevating mechanism and an elevating method which are used when an elevator car is moved up and down.
- Figure 5 is a schematic view of a conventional elevating mechanism 210 for an
elevator system 200. - As shown in Figure 5, the
elevator system 200 is provided with the elevating mechanism 210. Each end of awire rope 30 of the elevating mechanism 210 is fixed to arope fixing portion 54 provided on the backside of amachine house floor 4 above anelevator shaft 2. Thewire rope 30 fixed to thefixing portion 54 is wound around abalance weight pulley 16 provided on abalance weight 10 so that thebalance weight 10 is hung. The wire rope 30 wound around thebalance weight pulley 16 is next wound around a hoistingmachine 50 provided in amachine house 6, and hangs down again to a lower part below themachine house floor 4. The hangingwire rope 30 is wound aroundpulleys 14 provided at the lower part of acar 8 so that thecar 8 is hung. The end of the wire rope 30 wound around thepulleys 14 of thecar 8 is fixed to thefixing portion 54. - Also, the hoisting
machine 50 is provided with acontrol panel 52. By using thiscontrol panel 52, the speed of the hoisting machine can be set, or the rotation of the hoistingmachine 50 can be stopped. - In the
elevator system 200 constructed as described above, when the hoistingmachine 50 rotates in the direction of arrow (1) in Figure 5, thewire rope 30 moves accordingly, and the length of thewire rope 30 between thebalance weight pulley 16 and the 'hoistingmachine 50 is decreased, by which thebalance weight 10 is pulled up in the direction of arrow (2). On the other hand, the length of the wire rope 30 between the hoistingmachine 50 and thecar pulley 14 is increased, by which thecar 8 is lowered in the direction of arrow (3). When the hoistingmachine 50 is rotated in the direction opposite to arrow (1) in Figure 5, thebalance weight 10 is lowered, and thecar 8 is pulled up. Thus, by the elevating mechanism 210, thecar 8 and thebalance weight 8 are moved up and down in theelevator shaft 2. - In the elevating mechanism 210, it is sometimes necessary to make safety check, periodic check, or the like in the state in which the hoisting
machine 50 or thecontrol panel 52 is stopped and the rotation of thehoistingmachine 50 is temporarily stopped. In such a case, thecar 8 cannot be moved up and down, so that the elevator itself must be stopped during the work. Also, in the case where the rotation of the hoisting machine must inevitably be stopped due to failure etc., similarly, the elevator itself is stopped. If the elevator itself is stopped by check, failure, or the like in this manner, inconvenience is given to the elevator users. - Also, in the
elevator system 200, in order to secure necessary transportation capability, the speed and capacity of the elevator is set depending on the environment of a building in which the elevator system is provided and other factors. and the rotation of the hoistingmachine 50 is controlled so as to have a setting speed by thecontrol panel 52 in accordance with the set speed and capacity of the elevator. However, the transportation capability of the elevator is usually set in accordance with the time when waiting user gather, i.e., the time when the load is highest in the up/down motion of thecar 8, so that the transportation capability is sometimes excessive in some time zone, and hence energy is consumed wastefully. - Accordingly, the present invention proposes an improved elevating mechanism for an elevator system, in which the elevator can be operated even when the rotation of a hoisting machine is stopped by an inspection such as safety check or a failure. Also, the present invention proposes an improved elevating mechanism for an elevator system, in which the transportation capability can be adjusted in accordance with the load of elevator system in up/down motion.
- In the present invention, an elevating mechanism for an elevator system comprises two sets of hoisting machines for moving an elevator car and a balance weight up and down; a control unit for independently controlling the rotation of each of the two sets of hoisting machines; and a loop-shaped rope wound around the two sets of hoisting machines. Of opposed two places held between the two sets of hoisting machines, at one place, the rope is wound around a pulley for the car so that the car is hung, and at the other place, the rope is wound around a pulley for the balance weight so that the balance weight is hung.
- According to this elevating mechanism, even in a state in which the rotation of one hoisting machine is stopped, the up-and-down movement of the car can be continued by driving the other hoisting machine, and hence the elevator service can be improved. Also, according to this elevating mechanism, the elevating capability of the elevator can be adjusted by selectively rotating or stopping one hoisting machine, so that the elevator can be operated while wasteful energy consumption is reduced.
- Also, in the present invention, an elevating method for an elevator system, characterized in that in an elevating mechanism for an elevator system having two sets of hoisting machines provided in an elevator shaft of the elevator system, and a loop-shaped rope wound around the hoisting machines to move an elevator car up and down. Of opposed two places held between the two sets of hoisting machines, at one place, the rope is wound around a pulley for the car so that the car is hung, and at the other place, the rope is wound around a pulley for the balance weight so that the balance weight is hung, and the two sets of hoisting machines are rotated or stopped selectively, whereby the car and the balance weight are moved up and down.
- According to this method, the elevating capability of the elevator can be adjusted by selectively rotating or stopping each of the hoisting machines, so that the elevator can be operated while wasteful energy consumption is reduced.

- An embodiment of the present invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the figures, the same reference numerals are applied to the same or corresponding elements, and the explanation thereof is simplified or omitted.
- Figure 1 is a perspective view of an
elevator system 100 in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 is a schematic view of hoistingpulleys elevating mechanism 110 for theelevator system 100. - As shown in Figure 1, the
elevator system 100 is provided with anelevator shaft 2. The upper part of theelevator shaft 2 is partitioned by amachine house floor 4, and amachine house 6 is provided. - In the
elevator shaft 2, acar 8 and abalance weight 10 are hung. Thecar 8 is provided with acar frame 12, and acar pulley 14 is provided above thecar frame 12. Also, abalance weight pulley 16 is provided above abalance weight 10. - The
machine house floor 4 is formed with two wire rope throughholes - The
machine house 6 is provided with theelevating mechanism 110. - The
elevating mechanism 110 includes a main hoistingmachine 22 and anauxiliary hoisting machine 24. Also, amain control panel 26 is provided so as to correspond to themain hoisting machine 22, and anauxiliary control panel 28 is provided so as to correspond to theauxiliary hoisting machine 24. - As shown in Figure 2, the
main hoisting machine 22 is constructed by rotatably installing alarge pulley 32 and asmall pulley 34 onafixingmember 36. Similarly, theauxiliary hoisting machine 24 is constructed by rotatably installing alarge pulley 38 and asmall pulley 40 on a rotatingmember 42. - Referring to Figures 1 and 2, a
wire rope 30 is formed into a loop shape, and, of the opposed two places, one place is wound around the large andsmall pulleys machine 22, and the other place is wound around the large andsmall pulleys auxiliary hoisting machine 24. Thewire rope 30 has a sufficiently high strength. - In the
wire rope 30 connected in a loop shape, of two places held between the main hoistingmachine 22 and theauxiliary hoisting machine 24, one place hangs down in theelevator shaft 2 through the wire rope throughhole 18 in themachine house floor 4, and the other place hangs down in theelevator shaft 2 through the wire rope throughhole 20. - A portion of the
wire rope 30 hanging down in theelevator shaft 2 through the wire rope throughhole 18 is wound around thecar pulley 14 so that thecar 8 is hung and supported. On the other hand, a portion hanging down through the wire rope throughhole 20 is wound around thebalance weight pulley 16 so that thebalance weight 10 is hung and supported. - Figure 3 is a schematic view for illustrating the arranging relationship of the
wire rope 30, the hoistingpulleys pulleys - As shown in Figure 2, the
wire rope 30, which is formed into 'a loop shape, is wound around thesmall pulley 34 and thelarge pulley 32 of the main hoistingmachine 22, thecar pulley 14, thelarge pulley 38 and thesmall pulley 40 of theauxiliary hoisting machine 24, and thebalance weight pulley 16 in that order, and returns to thesmall pulley 34 of themain hoisting machine 22. - Thus, for the
wire rope 30 of theelevating mechanism 110, the ends thereof are not fixed unlike the conventional elevating mechanism for the elevator system, and thewire rope 30 is configured so as to be formed into a loop shape and wound around the hoisting machines and pulleys. - As described above, the
elevating mechanism 110 of this embodiment is configured so as to include themain hoisting machine 22, theauxiliary hoisting machine 24, themain control panel 26, theauxiliary control panel 28, and thewire rope 30. - Figure 4 is a schematic view for illustrating a case where the
car 8 is moved up and down by the elevatingmechanism 110. - For example, it is assumed that when the large and
small pulleys main hoisting machine 22 are rotated at a predetermined speed in the direction ofarrow 1 ○ in Figure 4, thewire rope 30 between thelarge pulley 32 and thecar pulley 14 is lowered through a distance α in the direction ofarrow 2 ○ in a unit length of time, and thewire rope 30 between thesmall pulley 34 and thebalance weight pulley 16 is raised through a distance α in the direction ofarrow 3 ○ in a unit length of time. On the other hand, it is assumed that when the pulleys of theauxiliary hoisting machine 24 are rotated at a predetermined speed in the direction ofarrow 4 ○ in Figure 4, thewire rope 30 between thelarge pulley 38 and thecar pulley 14 is lowered through a distance β in the direction ofarrow 5 ○ in a unit length of time, and thewire rope 30 between thesmall pulley 40 and thebalance weight pulley 16 is raised through a distance β in the direction ofarrow 6 ○ in a unit length of time. - In this case, the
car 8 is pulled down through a distance α+β in total in the direction of arrow 7 ○ in a unit length of time, and thebalance weight 10 is pulled up through a distance α+β in total in the direction ofarrow 8 ○. - Also, when the
car 8 is pulled up, by rotating thepulleys car 8 can be pulled up through a distance α+β in a unit length of time. - In this embodiment, the predetermined rotational speed of the
main hoisting machine 22 is set so as to be high by thecontrol panel 26, and the predetermined rotational speed of theauxiliary hoisting machine 24 is set so as to be low by thecontrol panel 28. Therefore, the travel distance α in a unit length of time is set so as to be large to some degree, and the travel distance β is set so as to be small to some degree. - Therefore, at the time of elevator operation, when waiting user gather especially, the
main hoisting machine 22 and theauxiliary hoisting machine 24 are driven at the same time. Thereby, the elevator can be operated at a speed such that thecar 8 moves through a distance α+β in a unit length of time. - At the normal time, the rotation of the
auxiliary hoisting machine 24 is stopped, and only themain hoisting machine 22 is driven. In this case, β is equal to 0, and thecar 8 can be moved up or down through a distance α in a unit length of time by the rotation of themain hoisting machine 22 only. In this case, there is established a state in which the elevator is operated by one set of the hoistingmachine 22 and thecontrol panel 26 as if thewire rope 30 is fixed to theauxiliary hoisting machine 24. - On the other hand, when the number of waiting user is especially small, only the
auxiliary hoisting machine 24 is driven, and themain hoisting machine 22 is stopped. In this case, α is equal to 0, and thecar 8 can be moved up or down through a distance β in a unit length of time by the rotation of theauxiliary hoisting machine 24 only. - By doing this, the elevating capability of the elevator can be set in accordance with the crowded condition of the elevator, so that wasteful energy consumption can be reduced.
- Also, at the time of inspection including safety check, check is made in a state in which only the rotation of the hoisting machine to be checked is stopped and the other hoisting machine is rotated. Thereby, even at the time of check, the operation of the elevator can be secured at least at a speed such that the
car 8 moves through a distance α or β in a unit length of time, so that inconvenience to elevator users can be mitigated. - Also, even when one hoisting
machine car 8 moves through a distance α or β in a unit length of time by the rotation of the other hoisting machine, so that inconvenience to elevator users can be mitigated. - In this embodiment, the main hoisting machine and the auxiliary hoisting machine, which have a different rated speed, are provided. However, the configuration is not limited to this, and two hoisting machines having the same speed may be provided. In this case, even in the case where one hoisting machine is stopped by check or failure, an operating speed that is one-half of the highest operating speed can be secured.
- Also, in this embodiment, the case where the
hoisting machines control panels machine house 6 has been described. However, the arrangement position is not limited to this. The hoisting machines may be located at another place; for example, thehoisting machines control panels elevator shaft 2. - Further, in the present invention, the control panels are provided so as to correspond to the two hoisting machines. However, one control panel may be used to control the two hoisting machines if the control panel can control the hoisting machines independently.
- The arrangement positions and constructions of the car, car pulley, balance weight, and balance weight pulley are not limited to those described in this embodiment.
- In the present invention, two sets of hoisting machines correspond, for example, to the
main hoisting machine 22 and theauxiliary hoisting machine 24 in this embodiment, and a loop-shaped rope corresponds, for example, to thewire rope 30. Also, in the present invention, a control unit corresponds, for example, to thecontrol panels car pulley 14 and thebalance weight pulley 16. - As described above, according to the present invention, the elevating mechanism for the elevator system has two sets of hoisting machine and control units, and these can be operated independently.
- Therefore, even in a state in which one hoisting machine is stopped at the time of checking work or by a failure, the up-and-down movement of the car can be continued, and hence the elevator service can be improved.
- Also, according to the present invention, two hoisting machines can be operated or stopped selectively. Therefore, the elevating speed can be adjusted in accordance with the crowded condition of the elevator, so that excessive energy consumption can be reduced, and economical elevator operation can be achieved.
- Further, according to the present invention, since two sets of hoisting machines are provided independently, intricate and highly accurate control, such as agreement of drive start/stop time and driving speed between the hoisting machines, is unnecessary. Therefore, a convenient elevator can be provided more easily.
