  • the present invention relates to a handrail and an elevator including the handrail.
  • Patent Literature 1 discloses a car handrail that is foldably disposed on an upper section of a car of an elevator.
  • the car handrail includes one side section and the other side section arranged along the car side section.
  • One side section is fixed to one arm section arranged along one car side section, and the other side section is fixed to the other arm section arranged along the other car side section.

  • Patent Literature 1 JP 2016-147727 A
  • an object of the present invention is to provide a handrail capable of easily performing assembly work at an upper section of an elevator car, and an elevator including the handrail.
  • a handrail of the present invention includes a plurality of support posts, a plurality of sliding posts, a rail section, a first switch section, and a second switch section.
  • the plurality of support posts is fixed to an upper section of an elevator car.
  • the plurality of sliding posts are slidably engaged with each of the plurality of support posts, and can protrude further upward than the upper sections of the plurality of supports.
  • the rail section is fixed to the plurality of sliding posts.
  • an elevator of the present invention includes an elevator car moving up and down in a hoist-way, and a handrail provided on an upper section of the elevator car.
  • Fig. 1 is a schematic configuration diagram illustrating a configuration example of an elevator of the present example.
  • the elevator 1 of the present example moves up and down in a hoist-way 110 formed in a building structure.
  • the elevator 1 includes an elevator car 120 on which people and luggage are loaded, a rope 130, a counterweight 140, and a hoisting machine 100.
  • the hoist-way 110 is formed in a building structure, and a machine room 160 is provided at a top section of the hoist-way.

  • the control board 170 When the normal switch 254 and the maintenance switch 256 are ON, the control board 170 disables the operation of the elevator 1. As illustrated in Figs. 5 to 8 , a situation in which the normal switch 254 and the maintenance switch 256 are turned on together cannot normally occur. Therefore, the control board 170 detects that an abnormality has occurred in the handrail 200 or the switch units 240A and 240B. Then, the control board 170 notifies that an abnormality has occurred. Examples of occurrence of abnormality include lighting of a lamp, output of a buzzer, and display by a video, an image, or the like.
  • the control board 170 When the normal switch 254 and the maintenance switch 256 are OFF, the control board 170 disables the operation of the elevator 1. As illustrated in Figs. 6B and 7A , during expansion or reduction of the handrail 200, the normal switch 254 and the maintenance switch 256 may be turned off together. The handrail 200 at this time is neither in the reduced state nor in the expanded state. Therefore, the control board 170 determines that the handrail 200 is expanding or reducing, and disables the operation of the elevator 1.
