Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial application field] The present invention relates to an elevator system.

[Problems to be solved by conventional techniques and inventions] Conventionally,
An elevator device installed in a building or the like includes an elevator shaft provided along the vertical direction of the building, and a cage that accommodates users.

The cage is suspended in the elevator shaft by a wire cable, and is raised and lowered in the elevator shaft by winding and pulling out the wire cable, and moves to the floor where the user is called and transports the user. .

However, conventional elevator systems using wire cable winding and pulling cannot accommodate multiple cages in one elevator shaft. Also, the cage cannot change the elevator shaft. Therefore, in order to increase the amount of transportation per unit time of users and per unit area of the building, it is necessary to increase the moving speed of the car or increase the number of elevator shafts. However, there is a limit to the moving speed of the cage, and increasing the number of elevator shafts reduces the usable area of each floor of the building, resulting in the problem that the space within the building cannot be used effectively.

Therefore, the present applicant has already devised an elevator device that is equipped with an elevating passage and a traversing passage and in which a plurality of cages can ascend, descend, and traverse (see Japanese Patent Application No. 2-72852).
. According to this structure, it is possible to increase the amount of transportation per unit time of the user and per unit area of the building, and it is also possible to effectively utilize the space within the building. Furthermore, if necessary, it is also possible to overtake a preceding car.

However, with this structure, it is necessary to complicate the configuration of the linear motor in order to smoothly move the cage at the intersection where the lifting guide lane and the traversing guide lane intersect, and the cage has multiple guides. Since the elevator is lifted and lowered while being supported by lanes, the structure of the elevator system becomes complicated. Furthermore, since the car can only move at right angles, the problem arises that the time required to overtake the car in front becomes long to some extent.

The present invention has been made in consideration of the above-mentioned facts, and an object of the present invention is to obtain an elevator system that can be simplified in structure and that can easily overtake a preceding car.

[Effect]

According to the present invention as set forth in claim (1), the plurality of cages ascend and descend within the plurality of elevation passages along the elevation guide lane laid along the elevation passage. Movement of the individual cages is controlled by first control means.

Here, since the car is supported by a single guide lane for elevation and descent, the structure of the elevator device is simplified compared to an elevator device that is supported by multiple guide lanes to ascend and descend. be able to. Furthermore, since a plurality of cages are movable along the lifting guide lane, it is possible to increase the amount of passengers carried per unit time and to effectively utilize the space within the building.

In a state where the guide lane is located at the second position, the connecting guide lane is located at the fourth position. In the former state, a detour is formed by the branching guide lane and the connecting guide lane. Therefore, if a detour is formed on the same elevating guide lane, it becomes possible to overtake the preceding car on the same elevating guide lane, and if a detour is formed on mutually adjacent elevating guide lanes. The lane in which the cage moves will be changed and it will be possible to overtake the cage in front. On the other hand, in the latter state, no detour is formed in the guide lane for elevation.

As a result, it becomes easier and faster to overtake the preceding cage, and even if the preceding cage is stopped, the cage can reach the destination floor without stopping.From this point of view, the user's unit time and The amount of transportation per unit area increases.

According to the present invention as set forth in claim (3), in the former case described above, the first demounting lane and the second demounting lane are evacuated from the lifting guard lane, and in the latter case, the first demounting lane is Since the second attachment/detachment lane itself constitutes a part of the lifting guide lane, there is no need to make the connection between the lifting guide lane and the detour path superelevation. Therefore, it is no longer necessary to take complicated considerations into the configuration of the connecting portion and the control when the car passes through the connecting portion, and this can contribute to simplifying the elevator system.

According to the present invention as set forth in claim (4), since the moving lane is interposed between the branching guide lane and the connecting guide lane, even if the interval between adjacent lifting guide lanes is relatively large, A detour can be reliably formed.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, the elevator apparatus according to the present invention has the excellent effect of being able to simplify the structure and easily overtaking the preceding car.

〔Example〕

Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 5 shows a building 10 equipped with an elevator system according to the invention. Building 10 has
An elevator shaft 12 is provided for moving a cage 34 of the elevator system, which will be described later. The elevator shaft 12 includes four elevating passages 14 extending in the vertical direction of the building 10. In addition, lane changing sections 16 are provided in the upper and middle portions of the elevator shafts 12 in the mutually adjacent elevator passages 14 . As shown in FIG. 4, a rail-shaped lifting lane 18 is provided in each lifting passage 14 along the lifting passage 14. As shown in FIG. The elevating lane 18 is formed by linearly connecting a plurality of elongated and identically shaped small lanes.

As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, these lifting lanes 18 include a rectangular flat lower plate 18A that is in contact with the side wall of the lifting passage 14, and an upper plate 18 that has the same shape as the lower plate 1.8A.
It is equipped with B. The lower plate 18A and the upper plate 18B are connected by a leg portion 18C at an intermediate portion in the width direction.

A slit 20 is formed in the leg portion 18C, with the thickness direction of the upper plate 18B and the lower plate 18A being the groove depth direction.

Further, a cage 34 is arranged along these lifting lanes 18 so as to be able to rise and fall.

The cage 34 includes a truck 22 whose cut surface along the longitudinal direction of the lifting lane 18 is L-shaped, and a rectangular parallelepiped cage body 24 placed on the truck 22. Cage body 2
4 and the truck 22 are connected to the vertical wall 2 of the truck 22 at the top thereof.
They are connected to each other by a rotating shaft 26 erected from 2A. Therefore, the cage main body 24 can make a pendulum movement about the rotating shaft 26 due to its own weight.

Furthermore, the cage body 24 is provided with a damper device (not shown). As a result, even if a sudden rotational force is applied to the cage body 24 due to an earthquake with strong horizontal shaking, the cage body will not rotate about the rotating shaft 26. However, when a gentle rotational force is applied to the cage body 24, the cage body 24 can rotate around the rotation axis 26.

Further, a pair of brackets 30 are disposed on the vertical wall 22A of the truck 22 at the upper and lower portions thereof.

Each bracket 30 is arranged on both sides of the upper plate 18B of the lifting lane 18 in the width direction. In addition, each bracket 30
A pair of support pins 32 are provided erected in a direction proximate to the leg portion 18C, and a roller 36 is pivotally supported by each support pin 32, respectively. These rollers 36 sandwich the upper plate 18B of the lifting lane 18 in a removable manner, and the direction of the pinching is the thickness direction of the upper plate 18B.

Furthermore, support shafts 38 parallel to the axis of the rotating shaft 26 are erected at the upper and lower portions of the vertical wall 22A of the truck 22, respectively. A large-diameter roller 40 whose radial direction is orthogonal to the roller and has a large diameter is supported on each of these support shafts 38 . These large-diameter rollers 40 sandwich the upper plate of the lifting lane 18 in a transferable manner, and the pinching direction is the same as that of the upper plate 1.
8B width direction.

Furthermore, in the width direction middle part of the vertical wall 22A of the trolley 22,
A rectangular plate-shaped movable member 4 is arranged along the longitudinal direction of the vertical wall 22A.
2 are arranged. The mover 42 is made of a permanent magnet, and is inserted into the slit 20 of the lifting lane 18. Both side walls of the leg 18C of the lifting lane 18 are made of electromagnets, thereby forming a near motor 44 (see FIG. 6) with the both side walls of the leg 18C being the primary side and the mover 42 being the secondary side. , the leg 18C (7) operates as a double-sided linear motor by applying a voltage to the electromagnet.

Its operation is controlled by a control device 56, which will be described later. Note that the suction force acting between one side wall of the leg portion 18C and the movable element 42 and the suction force acting between the other side wall of the leg portion 18C and the movable element 42 are opposite in direction. and are of the same size. Therefore, both suction forces are canceled, and the movable element 42 is held in the middle part of the groove width of the slit 20 in the width direction.

By controlling the magnitude and frequency of the voltage applied to both side walls of the leg portion 18C by the control device 56, the cage 34 moves in the ascending and descending directions along the ascending and descending lane 18 within the ascending and descending passage 14, and Its movement is stopped. Note that when the cage 34 is lowered (and when it stops moving), regeneration control is performed in which the linear motor 44 acts as a generator to convert the kinetic energy of the cage 34 into electric power and return it to the power supply system.

Further, in the cage 34, infrared sensors 46 (only one is shown in FIG. 2) are embedded in both longitudinal end surfaces of the vertical wall 22A of the cart 22.
6, the distance to the leading car 34 and the distance to the trailing car 34 are measured. As shown in FIG. 4, a brake device (not shown) that protrudes from the cage 34 is attached to the cage 34. The brake device has the function of stopping the movement of the cage 34, and stops the cage 34 by sandwiching the elevator lane 18 with brake shoes (not shown).

Further, a power supply line (not shown) is arranged near the leg portion 18C along the lifting passage 14. A current collection brush (not shown) is attached to the cage 34 in correspondence with the power supply line and comes into contact with the power supply line.

Electric power is supplied to the cage 34 from a power supply line via a current collector brush, and the lighting inside the cage 34 and the door 67 (see FIG. 4)
It is used to operate a motor, etc. (not shown) for opening and closing.

Further, as shown in FIG. 2, an information cable 68 is disposed along the elevating passage 14 near the leg portion 18C. The information cable 68 is composed of a leaky coaxial cable, and radiates the signal being transmitted to the surroundings as a leakage current, and receives a signal from the cage 34, which will be described later. cage 3
4 has an information cable 6 corresponding to this information cable 68.
An antenna 70 is attached to receive the signal leaked from the cage 8 , thereby enabling communication between the inside and outside of the cage 34 and detecting the position of the cage 34 .

As shown in FIG. 6, the information cable 68 is connected to the control device 56. The position information of each cage 34 detected via an information cable 68 is manually input to the control device 56 . Further, inside the cage 34, there is an operation panel 72 operated by the occupant, an infrared sensor 74 that detects the presence or absence of an occupant inside the cage 34, and a transmitting device (not shown).
is installed. When the occupant designates a destination floor by operating the operation panel 72, this destination floor is transmitted as a signal from the above-mentioned transmitting device and input to the control device 56 via the information cable 68. Further, the output signal of the infrared sensor 74 is also transmitted from the transmitting device to the information cable 6.
8 to the control device 56.

A call button 76 is installed in the waiting space of each floor for users of the elevator system to call the car 34. Each call button 76 is connected to control device 56 . The control device 56 detects the call of the cage 34 by the user when the call button 76 is operated.

Now, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 4, the above-mentioned lane changing section 16 (see FIG. 5) has a branching lane 48, a turning lane 50, and a connecting lane in the upper, middle, and lower stages. 52 are arranged respectively. These branching lanes 48, rotation lanes 50, and connecting lanes 52 are all elongated, and their cross-sections at right angles to their lengths are all the same shape as the ascending and descending lanes 18.

A rotating shaft portion supported by a bearing (not shown) is attached to the longitudinally intermediate portion of the rotating lane 50.
0 is rotatable around this rotating shaft.

Limit switches (not shown) are disposed near the sides of the rotation lane 50 at the positions indicated by the two-dot chain line and the solid line in FIG. The rotational movement is stopped by interfering with the In addition, a rotation motor 54 is provided in the rotation lane.
A driving force (see FIG. 6) is applied. The rotation motor 54 is connected to a control device 56, and its driving is controlled.

The branching lane 48 slides on two branching slide lanes 66 laid along a direction perpendicular to the lifting lane 18. A rack (not shown) is formed in the branching slide lane 66, and a pinion that meshes with the rack is provided in the branching lane 48. The pinion rotates when the driving force of the branching motor 60 (see FIG. 6) is applied. As a result, the branching lane 48
is capable of sliding between the position shown by the two-dot chain line and the position shown by the solid line in FIG. Note that the branching motor 60 is connected to a control device 56, and its drive is controlled.

Further, on the branching slide lane 66, on the opposite side of the branching lane 48, a detachable/detachable rune 80 is slidably arranged. The sliding mechanism of the second rune 80 for desorption is the same as that for the branching lane 48, and the control device 56
It is made possible to slide between the position shown by the two-dot chain line and the position shown by the solid line in Fig. 1 by the driving force of a first motor 64 for detachment (see Fig. 6) connected to the .

The connecting lane 52 also slides on two connecting slide lanes 58 laid along the direction orthogonal to the lifting lane 18 by a sliding mechanism similar to that of the branching lane 48. This sliding movement of the connection lane 52 is performed by the driving force of a connection motor 78 (see FIG. 6) connected to the control device 56.

Further, on the connection slide lane 58, a second detachment lane 62 is slidably arranged on the opposite side of the connection lane 52. - The slide mechanism of the second lane 62 for desorption is the same as that of the branching lane 48, and the gf control
It slides between the position shown by the two-dot chain line and the position shown by the solid line in FIG. 1 by the driving force of the second motor 82 (see FIG. 6) connected to the J device 56 for removing and removing.

Note that the first rune 80 for doffing and doffing and the second lane 62 for doffing are normally located at the positions indicated by the two-dot chain lines in FIG. .
In addition, limit switches (not shown) are provided at both ends of the slide trajectory of each of the branching lane 48, the connecting lane 52, the first rune 80 for desorption and the second lane 62 for desorption. The slide sections of the lane 48, the connection lane 52, the second rune 80 for desorption/detachment, and the second lane 62 for desorption/detachment are set between the positions shown by the two-dot chain line and the solid line in FIG.

In addition, the lower end of the branching lane 48 and the connecting lane 52
An infrared sensor (not shown) connected to the control device 56 is disposed at the upper end of each. These infrared sensors emit infrared rays in the thickness direction of the upper plate 18B of the branching lane 48 and the connecting lane 52 and on the side where the cage 34 moves, and when passing through the cage 34, the infrared rays and the carriage of the cage 34 emit 22 are designed to interfere with each other. These infrared sensors detect whether the cage 34 has passed.

A state in which the above-mentioned branch lane 48, connection lane 52, and rotation lane 50 are slid or rotated to the positions shown by solid lines in FIG. 1 (hereinafter, the branch lane 48, connection lane 52, and rotation lane in this state 50 is referred to as a detour), these slits 20 form a transitional curve and each slit 7) 2 of the mutually adjacent lifting lanes 18.
The operation of this embodiment will be explained below.

When the user ascends from the first floor above the ground to a predetermined floor, the user calls the cage 34 using the call button 76, and then specifies the destination floor using the operation panel 72. As a result, the cage 34 ascends along the lift lane 18, stops at the designated destination floor, and lets the user off. On the other hand, when a user descends from a predetermined floor of a building to one floor above ground, the opposite operation is performed.

Here, the control when the car 34 descends to the destination floor along the elevator lane 18 will be explained with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 7.

In step 120, it is determined whether the lane in which the car 34 should move should be changed from the lift lane 18 to the adjacent lift lane 18. If it would be faster to reach the destination floor without overtaking the car 34 in front, for example, if the car 34 in the lead and stopped state has begun to move, and if it decelerates and descends it will reach the destination floor faster, The process moves to step 132 and the cage 34 reaches the destination floor. In this case, the distance from the preceding cage 34 is measured by an infrared sensor attached to the cage 34,
This interval is maintained at a predetermined distance or more.

On the other hand, if it is determined in step 120 that the vehicle will reach the destination floor faster by passing the preceding car 34, a detour is formed in step 122. That is, first the first motor 64 for desorption and the second motor 82 for desorption are driven, and the first motor 64 for desorption and desorption run 80 and the second lane 6 for desorption are driven.
2 slide from the position shown by the two-dot chain line to the position shown by the solid line in FIG. Next, the rotation motor 54
is driven, and the rotation lane 50 rotates about the rotation shaft (not shown) from the position shown by the two-dot chain line in FIG. 1 to the position shown by the solid line. Finally, the branch motor 60
and the connecting motor 78 are driven, and the branching lane 48 and the connecting lane 52 slide from the position shown by the two-dot chain line to the position shown by the solid line in FIG. 1, respectively.

This creates a detour.

Next, in step 124, the linear motor 44 is driven,
The cage 34 descends in a curved manner in the order of the branching lane 48, the turning lane 50, and the connecting lane 52. On this occasion,
An infrared sensor (not shown) provided in the branching lane 48 confirms that the cage 34 has passed through the branching lane 48. In addition, since the cage 34 is pin-jointed by the rotating shaft 26, when the cage 34 is moving on the change lane, the change lane pickpocket 7) will move according to the angle between the tangential direction of the pick 20 and the vertical direction. A pendulum movement is made around the rotating shaft 26. Therefore, the cage 34 always faces in the vertical direction.

Next, in step 126, it is determined whether the car 34 has passed through the change lane. This determination is made by both the infrared sensor installed in the branch lane 48 and the infrared sensor installed in the connection lane 52.
It is affirmed only if the passage of 4 is detected. If it is determined in step 126 that the cage 34 has not passed, this determination is repeated. Also, step 126
If it is determined in step 128 that the cage 34 has passed, the lane change is canceled in step 128. That is, first, the branching lane 48 and the connecting lane 52 slide and return to their original positions, then the rotating lane 50 similarly rotates and returns to its original position, and finally the detachment lane 80 The second lane 62 for removal and removal slides and returns to its original position.

Then, in step 130, the cage 34 descends to the destination floor to unload the user. Note that this control is performed by cage 3
The same thing is done when overtaking the preceding car 34 when the car 4 is ascending. However, in this case, branch lane 4
8 and the connection lane 52 are reversed.

Further, the cage 34 is circulated by lane changing sections 16 provided at three locations in the upper and middle stages of the elevator shaft 12.

In this way, in this embodiment, the branching lane 48, the rotation lane 50, the connecting lane 52, the first rune 80 for desorption and the second lane 62 for desorption are provided between the adjacent elevating lanes 18. , the car 34 can overtake the preceding car 34 and reach the destination floor. Therefore, the cage 34 can be moved reliably and quickly.

Furthermore, since the cages 34 are moved by the linear motor 44, a plurality of cages 34 can be arranged within a single elevating passage 14. Therefore, in combination with the above effects, it is possible to improve the amount of transportation carried by users per unit time and per unit area of the building, and it is also possible to effectively utilize the space within the building 10. In addition, the cage 34 can be moved at high speed and can effectively function as an elevator system for high-rise buildings and the like.

Furthermore, since a plurality of cages 34 are lifted and lowered while being supported by a single lifting lane 18, for example, the cages 34
Compared to a structure in which guide lanes are provided at the four corners of the building 10 and the elevator system is raised and lowered while being supported, the structure of the entire elevator system can be simplified, and from this point of view as well, the space within the building 10 can be used effectively.

Further, since the car 34 is not structured to move laterally as in the conventional case, a linear motor for traversing, a guide lane for traversing, etc. are not required, and this also contributes to the simplification of the structure of the entire elevator system. Furthermore, when the cage 34 is moved laterally, it is necessary to have a structure that ensures smooth movement of the cage 34 at the intersection of the lifting guide lane and the traversing guide lane. There is no need to take such measures.

Furthermore, since the suction force acting on the movable element 42 of the cage 34 is canceled by the double-sided glue near motor provided on the leg 18C of the lifting lane 18, the movable element 42 is moved to the middle part of the groove width direction within the slit 20. can be held. Therefore, the support strength required for the movable portion of the cage 34 is reduced, which contributes to simplifying the structure of the cage 34.

Furthermore, when the cage 34 is moving on a detour,
Since the longitudinal direction of the cage 34 can be held vertically by the rotating shaft 26, the user does not feel uncomfortable. In addition, it is no longer necessary to control the maximum value of acceleration during traversing so as not to cause discomfort to users when traversing, as was the case in the past, so from this point of view as well, the structure and system of elevator equipment should be simplified. can be achieved.

Furthermore, since the lifting lane 18 is held between the pair of rollers 36 and the large-diameter roller of the cage 34 in directions orthogonal to each other, stable movement of the cage 34 can be ensured.

Moreover, since the elevating lane 18 is provided with a first rune 80 for desorption and a second lane 62 for desorption, it becomes easy to form a detour within the same plane.

Therefore, in order to form a detour, there is no need to provide a superelevation or a three-dimensional intersection, and it is possible to simplify the structure at the connecting portion and the control when the cage passes through the connecting portion.

Furthermore, since the turning lane 50 is disposed between the branching lane 48 and the connecting lane 52, it is possible to reliably change lanes even if the distance between adjacent elevating lanes 18 is large.

In addition, in this embodiment, mutually adjacent lifting lanes 18
However, the configuration is not limited to this, but a detour is formed in the same lifting lane 18 by the branching lane 48, the turning lane 51, and the connecting lane 52, so that it is possible to overtake the preceding cage 34. You can.

In addition, in this embodiment, the turning lane 50 is used as a branching lane 48.
However, in cases where the distance between adjacent lifting lanes 18 is narrow, the turning lane 50 is omitted and the turning lane 50 is interposed between the branching lane 48 and the connecting lane 52. A detour may be created.

Furthermore, in this embodiment, the bundling run 8G for doffing and doffing and the second lane 62 for doffing and doffing are provided, but the invention is not limited to this, and the elevating lane 18 is provided with a bifurcated part, and one side is always connected to the elevating lane 18.
It is also possible to use one part of the system and the other part for changing lanes.

Further, in this embodiment, pinions and racks are used as slide mechanisms for the branching slide lane 66, the branching lane 48, the connecting slide lane 58, the connecting lane 52, etc.; The slide mechanism may be constructed by:

Furthermore, in this embodiment, a rotatable rotation lane 50 is provided between the branch lane 48 and the connection lane 52, but the invention is not limited thereto. A slideable lane or the like may be used, and any lane that can continuously connect the branching lane 48 and the connecting lane 52 is applicable.

Furthermore, in this embodiment, the cage 34 includes a pair of rollers 3.
6. Although the large-diameter roller 40 is attached, the present invention is not limited to this, and a non-directional ball bearing or the like may be used.

Moreover, the type of linear motor 44 of this embodiment is an induction type,
Either synchronous type may be used.
