Definitions
- the present invention relates to an elevator apparatus having a weighing device for generating a signal corresponding to a live load within a car.
- an inspector fits an acceleration sensor on a car, and then gets into the car to cause oscillation thereof.
- an overload signal is output from the weighing device, the inspector checks an output of the acceleration sensor to determine whether or not there is an abnormality in the weighing device (see, e.g., Patent Document 1).
- Patent Document 1 JP 09-272669 A
- the present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problem, and it is therefore an obj ect of the present invention to obtain an elevator apparatus that makes it possible to enhance the efficiency in inspecting a weighing device.
- An elevator apparatus includes: a car; a weighing device for generating a signal corresponding to a live load within the car; and a weigher inspecting portion for issuing a command to perform a test operation of the car and detecting an abnormality in the weighing device based on a signal output from the weighing device through the test operation.
- Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram showing an elevator apparatus according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention.
- a pair of car guide rails (not shown) and a pair of counterweight guide rails (not shown) are installed within a hoistway 1.
- a car 3 is raised/lowered within the hoistway 1 while being guided by the car guide rails.
- a counterweight 4 is raised/lowered within the hoistway 1 while being guided by the counterweight guide rails.
- An emergency stop device 5 for engaging the car guide rails to stop the car 3 as an emergency measure is mounted on a lower portion of the car 3.
- the emergency stop device 5 has a pair of braking strips, which are actuated through a mechanical operation to be pressed against the car guide rails, respectively.
- a drive device (hoisting machine) 7 for raising/lowering the car 3 and the counterweight 4 via a main rope 6 is installed in a lower portion within the hoistway 1.
- the drive device 7 has a drive sheave 8, a motor portion 9 for rotating the drive sheave 8, a brake portion 10 for braking rotation of the drive sheave 8, and a motor encoder 11 for generating a detection signal corresponding to rotation of the drive sheave 8.
- the brake portion 10 is, for example, an electromagnetic brake device.
- a brake shoe is pressed against a braking surface due to a spring force of a brake spring, so rotation of the drive sheave 8 is braked. Also, the brake shoe is opened away from the braking surface through excitation of an electromagnet, so braking is released.
- a pair of car suspending pulleys 12a and 12b are provided on the lower portion of the car 3.
- a counterweight suspending pulley 13 is provided on an upper portion of the counterweight 4.
- Car-side return pulleys 14a and 14b and a counterweight-side return pulley 15 are disposed in an upper portion of the hoistway 1.
- a first cleat portion 16a and a second cleat portion 16b are fixed to the upper portion of the hoistway 1.
- the main rope 6 has a first end 6a and a second end 6b, which are connected to the cleat portions 16a and 16b, respectively.
- the main rope 6 is sequentially looped around the car suspending pulleys 12a and 12b, the car-side return pulleys 14a and 14b, the drive sheave 8, the counterweight-side return pulley 15, and the counterweight suspending pulley 13 from the first end 6a side. That is, in this example, the car 3 and the counterweight 4 are suspended within the hoistway 1 according to a 2:1 roping method.
- the first cleat portion 16a is provided with a weighing device 17 for generating a signal corresponding to a live load within the car 3.
- a shackle spring which is expanded/contracted as a result of a change in the live load within the car 3, is provided between the first end 6a and the cleat portion 16a.
- the weighing device 17 outputs a signal in accordance with expansion/contraction of the shackle spring or displacement of the first end 6a.
- a speed governor 18 is installed in the upper portion of the hoistway 1.
- the speed governor 18 is provided with a speed governor sheave, an overspeed detecting switch, a rope catch, and the like.
- a speed governor rope 19 is looped around the speed governor sheave.
- the speed governor rope 19 is connected at both ends thereof to an operating mechanism of the emergency stop device 5.
- the lower end of the speed governor rope 19 is looped around a tension pulley 20, which is disposed in the lower portion of the hoistway 1.
- the speed governor rope 19 When the car 3 is raised/lowered, the speed governor rope 19 is circulated, so the speed governor sheave is rotated at a rotational speed corresponding to a running speed of the car 3. In the speed governor 18, it is mechanically detected that the running speed of the car 3 has reached overspeeds. A first overspeed higher than a rated speed and a second overspeed higher than the first overspeed are set as the overspeeds to be detected.
- the overspeed detecting switch of the speed governor 18 When the running speed of the car 3 reaches the first overspeed, the overspeed detecting switch of the speed governor 18 is operated. When the overspeed detecting switch is operated, the power supplied to the motor portion 9 is shut off, and rotation of the drive sheave 8 is braked by the brake portion 10. As a result, the car 3 is stopped as an emergency measure.
- the speed governor rope. 19 is gripped by the rope catch of the speed governor 18. As a result, the speed governor rope 19 is stopped from being circulated.
- the emergency stop device 5 is operated to perform braking operation.
- a car shock absorber 21 and a counterweight shock absorber 22 are installed in the lower portion within the hoistway 1.
- the travel of the elevator apparatus is controlled by an elevator control device 23.
- the elevator control device 23 has an operation control portion 24 for controlling the operation of the drive device 7, and a weigher inspecting portion 25 for detecting an abnormality in the weighing device 17.
- the weigher inspecting portion 25 issues a command to perform a test operation of the car 3, and detects an abnormality in the weighing device 17 based on a signal output from the weighing device 17 through the test operation.
- Fig. 2 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the elevator control device 23 of Fig. 1 .
- the elevator control device 23 is constituted by a computer having a CPU (calculation processing portion) 26, a memory (ROM, RAM, and the like) 27, an input portion 28 to which external signals including a weighing device signal are input, and an output portion 29 from which a signal is output to the outside. That is, the functions of the operation control portion 24 and the weigher inspecting portion 25 are realized by the computer. Programs for realizing the functions of the operation control portion 24 and the weigher inspecting portion 25 are stored in the memory 27.
- the CPU 26 performs calculation processings regarding the functions of the operation control portion 24 and the weigher inspecting portion 25 based on the programs.
- a method of inspecting the weighing device 17 In initializing the elevator apparatus, a signal from the weighing device 17 at the time of a sudden stop of the car 3 is confirmed to inspect whether or not the weighing device 17 is normal. More specifically, after the brake portion 10 has been released with the weights of the car 3 and the counterweight 4 unbalanced with each other so as to accelerate the car 3, the brake portion 10 is caused to perform braking operation to make a sudden stop of the car 3. It is then checked whether or not a value of the weighing device signal during acceleration resulting from the unbalanced state and an oscillation frequency of the weighing device signal after the sudden stop are appropriate. In carrying out this check, an acceleration determined by the weight of an entire system and the amount of unbalance of the car 3, an oscillation frequency determined by a composition of a rope system and the weights of the car 3 and the counterweight 4, and the like are used.
- a command to perform the test operation of the car 3 is issued from the weigher inspecting portion 25 when there is no passenger within the car 3, for example, at night.
- the test operation performed in this case is similar to the operation performed during inspection at the time of initialization.
- the output waveform saved in the memory 27 or the characteristic quantity thereof is compared with an output waveform of a signal output from the weighing device 17 through the test operation or a characteristic quantity thereof.
- a difference between both the values is within a predetermined range, it is determined that the weighing device 17 is normal.
- the difference between both the values is outside the predetermined range, it is determined that the weighing device 17 is abnormal.
- an abnormality in the weighing device 17 is detected, an error signal is output from the weigher inspecting portion 25. Then, measures are taken to inform an elevator supervising room, stop the operation of the elevator apparatus, etc.
- Fig. 3 is a graph showing an example of changes in the position of the car and the speed of the car with time during the test operation performed by the weigher inspecting portion 25 of Fig. 1 .
- Fig. 4 is a graph showing an example of changes in the acceleration of the car with time during the test operation performed by the weigher inspecting portion 25 of Fig. 1 .
- the car 3 behaves as shown in Fig. 3 .
- a signal as shown in Fig. 4 is output from the weighing device 17. From this signal, the value of the weighing device signal during acceleration resulting from the unbalanced state and the weight of the car, which is estimated from the oscillation frequency of the weighing device signal after the sudden stop, are compared with the data at the time of initialization.
- the inspection of the weighing device 17 as described above is automatically conducted at preset timings or on a preset cycle. That is, the elevator control device 23 has control modes including an automatic inspection mode for automatically inspecting the weighing device 17. Alternatively, the inspection of the weighing device 17 may be started in response to reception of an inspection command signal from an external device, for example, a remote supervision board, or the like.
- the weigher inspecting portion 25 issues a command to perform a test operation of the car 3, and automatically detects an abnormality in the weighing device 17 based on a signal output from the weighing device 17 through the test operation. Therefore, the efficiency in inspecting the weighing device 17 can be enhanced.
- the weigher inspecting portion 25 performs the test operation with the aid of the unbalance acceleration of the car 3. Therefore, the test operation of the car 3 can be performed easily without the aid of manpower. Furthermore, the weigher inspecting portion 25 causes oscillations in the car 3 as the test operation of the car 3, and detects an abnormality in the weighing device 17 based on a weight of the car 3, which is estimated from a time-series waveform of a signal from the weighing device 17. Therefore, the presence or absence of an abnormality in the weighing device 17 can be confirmed by the simple test operation, so the weighing device 17 can be inspected in a short period of time.
- the weigher inspecting portion 25 compares the data acquired from the weighing device 17 through the test operation of the car 3 with the data saved at the time of initialization to detect an abnormality in the weighing device 17. Therefore, an operation of inputting data or the like with the aid of manpower is not required in inspecting the weighing device 17, so the inspection can be conducted with ease.
- test operation of the car 3 is not limited to the foregoing examples.
- the weighing device or an arithmetic circuit for processing a signal from the weighing device may be configured as a dual system.
- the present invention is applicable in this case as well.
- the data saved at the time of initialization, which serve as a comparison criterion may be updated through an inspection similar to the inspection during initialization when an operation such as periodic inspection using manpower is performed.
- the method of detecting the weighing device is not limited in particular as long as the output therefrom continuously changes in response to changes in the load within the car 3.
- the place where the weighing device is installed is not limited in particular either.
- the weighing device may be provided on the lower portion of the car, the drive device, the return pulley, or the like. If the elevator apparatus is designed such that the end of the main rope is connected to the car, the weighing device may be provided at that portion of the main rope which is connected to the car.
