Definitions
- the present invention relates to a multi-drive elevator apparatus in which a single car is raised and lowered by first and second driving machines.
- Figure 9 is a perspective showing a conventional elevator apparatus such as that disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. HEI 7-117957 (Gazette), for example.
- a pair of car guide rails 2 and a pair of counterweight guide rails 3 are installed inside a hoistway 1.
- a car 4 is guided by the car guide rails 2 so as to be raised and lowered inside the hoistway 1.
- a counterweight 5 is guided by the counterweight guide rails 3 so as to be raised and lowered inside the hoistway 1.
- First and second driving machines (hoisting machines) 6 and 7 are disposed above the counterweight 5 inside the hoistway 1.
- the first driving machine 6 has: a shaft 8 fixed horizontally to an upper portion inside the hoistway 1; a stator (not shown) fixed to the shaft 8; a first drive sheave 9 rotated around the shaft 8; and a rotor (not shown) fixed inside the first drive sheave 9 so as to face the stator.
- the second driving machine 7 has: the shaft 8 shared with the first driving machine 6; a stator (not shown) fixed to the shaft 8; a second drive sheave 10 rotated around the shaft 8; and a rotor (not shown) fixed inside the second drive sheave 10 so as to face the stator.
- Rotatable first and second return sheaves 11 and 12 are disposed above the car 4 inside the hoistway 1.
- the first and second return sheaves 11 and 12 are rotated around rotating shafts extending horizontally.
- First main ropes 13 are wound around the first drive sheave 9 and the first return sheave 11 using a full winding method.
- Second main ropes 14 are wound around the second drive sheave 10 and the second return sheave 12 using a full winding method.
- the car 4 is connected to and suspended from first end portions of the first and second main ropes 13 and 14.
- the counterweight 5 is connected to and suspended from second end portions of the first and second main ropes 13 and 14. In other words, the car 4 and the counterweight 5 are suspended inside the hoistway 1 using a 1:1 roping method.
- an elevator apparatus of this kind the first and second main ropes 13 and 14 are moved simultaneously and the car 4 and the counterweight 5 are raised and lowered inside the hoistway 1 by simultaneously driving first and second driving machines 6 and 7. Furthermore, a driving method in which a single car 4 is raised and lowered by two driving machines 6 and 7 is called a “multi-drive method”. In addition, an elevator apparatus in which driving machines 6 and 7 are disposed inside a hoistway without providing a machine room is called a "machine-roomless" elevator.
- the driving machines 6 and 7 are disposed in an upper portion inside the hoistway 1 so as not to interfere with the car 4. In other words, the driving machines 6 and 7 are disposed so as not to overlap with the car 4 in a vertical plane of projection.
- the diameter of the drive sheaves 6 and 7 cannot be reduced further than a size defined by a ratio to the diameter of the main ropes 13 and 14, etc. Because of this, the diameter of the drive sheaves 6 and 7 is larger than a thickness dimension of the counterweight 5. In this regard, since the rotating shaft of the drive sheaves 6 and 7 is disposed so as to extend horizontally, in order to avoid interference between the car 4 and the drive sheaves 6 and 7, it is necessary to dispose the counterweight 5 away from the car 4 to account for the diameter of the drive sheaves 6 and 7, increasing the horizontal surface area of the hoistway 1.
- the rotating shafts of the drive sheaves 6 and 7 and the return sheaves 11 and 12 are disposed so as to extend horizontally, and sufficient traction capacity cannot be ensured if the main ropes 13 and 14 are wound using a half winding method, the main rope 13 and 14 are wound using a full winding method. Because of this, the axle load acting on the rotating shafts of the drive sheaves 6 and 7 and the return sheaves 11 and 12 is large, increasing the size and expense of the rotating shafts and their supporting members.
- the present invention aims to solve the above problems and an object of the present invention is to provide an elevator apparatus enabling space to be saved inside a hoistway and enabling simplification of a supporting construction of a driving machine and a return sheave.
