Description

  An embodiment of the present invention relates to an elevator apparatus having a structure for closing a gap formed between a landing side and a sill on a car side provided at an entrance to a car.

  In an elevator system in which a car installed in the hoistway of a building moves up and down between floors to carry people and luggage, there is a constant distance between the landings on each floor and the car in order to raise and lower the car. The gap is provided. For this reason, when the car stops landing at the landing and the door of the entrance is opened, a gap (also referred to as running clearance) is generated between the landing side sill and the car side sill. The gap between the sills is dangerous because it causes a person to stumble or a wheel such as a wheelchair or a bogie falls. In addition, small articles such as keys and cards may fall into the pit from the sill gap, making recovery difficult.

  In view of this, there has conventionally been proposed a member that is provided with a closing member for closing the gap between the sills and is operated so as to close the sill gap when the door is opened (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

JP 2009-286504 A

  In such a mechanism for closing the running clearance when the door is opened, the closing member may be pushed by an object having a width equal to or less than the running clearance width, for example, the heel of a high heel or the tip of an umbrella. For this reason, it is necessary to endure the load to some extent, and it is necessary to make it with a hard material with high strength. On the other hand, in order to narrow the gap, it is necessary to press the closing member against the sill (hole sill) side on the landing side. In this case, if the closing member is made of a hard material having high strength, a contact sound that hits hard objects is generated at the time of pressing, which is not preferable.

  The present invention has a sufficient strength and hardness to withstand the load even when the plugging member that closes the gap between the car side and the landing side sill is pushed by the heel of a high heel or the tip of an umbrella, etc. An object of the present invention is to provide an elevator apparatus that is configured so as not to generate a contact sound that hits hard objects when pressed against a sill side.

  The elevator apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a car-side sill that guides a car door provided at an entrance of a car along its opening and closing direction, and each floor on which the car can land, A plane that can block a gap formed between a sill on the landing side that guides a landing door provided at the entrance to the cradle along the opening and closing direction and a sill on the car side and the sill on the landing side. A closing member having a shape and configured to be movable between a closing position where the gap is closed and a retreat position at the lower part of the sill on the car side, and the opening operation of the car door connected to the closing member And a drive mechanism for moving the closing member from the closing position to the retracting position in accordance with the closing operation of the car door, and the closing member includes the gap. Hard material on the main body Using, characterized by using a soft material on the side face abutting against the tip of the landing side of the sill.

  According to the above-described configuration, the closing member that closes the gap formed between the sill on the landing side and the sill on the car side when the door is opened is made of a hard material for the main body portion that closes the gap, and the side surface of the sill on the landing side is in contact with the side wall. Since soft material is used for the tip part that comes into contact, even if it is pushed with the heel of a high heel or the tip of an umbrella, it has enough strength and hardness to withstand that load, and it is hard even if it is pushed against the sill side on the landing side There is no contact sound that hits objects.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

  First, the overall configuration of the elevator apparatus will be described with reference to FIG. As shown in FIG. 1, the elevator apparatus 1 includes a passenger car 4 and a counterweight 5 disposed in a hoistway 3. Above the hoistway 3 is provided a machine room 6 in which a hoisting machine 7 for driving a main rope 9 and a control device 8 are installed. The control device 8 controls the entire elevator device 1 and controls the hoisting machine 7 in accordance with a landing call or a car call so that the car 4 is landed on the floor where the call was made.

  A so-called machine room-less elevator device in which the hoisting machine 7 and the control device 8 are downsized and provided in the upper part in the hoistway 3 without providing the machine room 6 may be used.

  In this elevator apparatus 1, an entrance 12 that leads to a car 4 in the hoistway 3 is provided at a landing 11 provided on each floor of the building, and a landing door 2 is provided at the entrance 12. The landing door 2 is engaged with the side of the car door 25 provided at the entrance / exit 24 of the car 4 via an interlock mechanism (not shown) when the car 4 is landed, and interlocks with the opening and closing of the car door 25. Opens and closes.

  FIG. 2 is a front view of the car door 25 provided at the entrance of the car 4 as seen from the landing 11 side. The car door 25 is a so-called double-opening method in which two door panels 25a and 25b (only the door contact portions are shown, and the other portions are not shown) are opened to the left and right in the drawing different from each other. These two door panels 25a, 25b are connected to door opening / closing mechanisms 27 formed on both sides of the entrance / exit 24 of the car 4, and are driven in the left-right direction in the figure by the door opening / closing mechanism 27 to open / close.

  The door opening / closing mechanism 27 is a well-known one and is not directly related to the invention of the present application, so the description of the structure is omitted. It is driven in the left-right direction along the guide rail to open and close.

  A car-side sill 31 is provided at the entrance / exit part of the car 4, and the two door panels 25a and 25b constituting the car door 25 described above are slidably guided along the opening and closing direction thereof. . This car-side sill 31 is provided at the lower side of the car doorway 24, and the guide grooves formed on the upper surface thereof engage with the lower ends of the two door panels 25a and 25b, respectively. Guide in the opening and closing direction.

  As shown in FIGS. 8 to 10, a sill 32 is provided on the platform 11 side with respect to the sill 31 on the car side. The platform-side sill 32 is disposed to face one side surface (the left side surface in FIGS. 8 to 10) of the car-side sill 31 with a predetermined distance. A guide groove is also formed on the upper surface of the threshold 32 on the landing side, and guides the landing door 2 shown in FIG. 1 so as to be slidable along the opening and closing direction.

  The landing-side door 2 is also of a double-opening type having two door panels (not shown). As described above, when the car 4 reaches the landing 11, it engages with the car door 25 and the car door. 25 opens and closes together. That is, the landing door 2 has two door panels locked in a closed state by an interlock mechanism (not shown) when the car 4 is not landing, and when the car 4 is landing, the car 4 The locking state described above is released by engaging with an engaging member (not shown) on the side, and the door is opened and closed together with the car door 25.

  When the car 4 reaches the predetermined floor, the gap (running clearance) shown in FIGS. 6 to 8 is generated between the car-side sill 31 and the landing-side sill 32 as described above. In the embodiment of the present invention, a closing member 35 is provided to close this gap.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the closing member 35 is divided into left and right. This divided part is a part where the car-side sill 31 passes over an interlock mechanism (specifically, a roller part engaged with the car side) provided on the landing side when the car 4 is raised and lowered, In order to allow passage of the interlock mechanism, it is divided with a space left and right. That is, even if the car goes up and down with the closing member extended to the closing position, the landing-side interlock mechanism passes through the space formed in the divided portion of the extended closing member 35. The extended closing member does not collide with the interlock mechanism.

  In the sill 32 on the landing side, a block that protrudes and freely fits into the divided space portion is provided in a state of facing the sill 31 on the car side. This block is provided integrally with the sill 32 on the landing side facing the car-side sill 31 and facing the divided space portion of the closing member 35. Therefore, when the car 4 is landed and the landing side sill 32 and the car side sill 31 face each other, the blocks provided on the landing side sill 32 protrude and loosely fit into the divided space portion. It becomes a state. For this reason, when the door is open, the space generated in the divided portion is substantially blocked by the block that is loosely fitted therein, and the fall of small items from the space of the divided portion can be prevented.

  The upper surface of the closing member 35 is located below the upper surfaces of the car-side sill 31 and the landing-side sill 32 as shown in FIGS. Moreover, the planar shape is formed in the shape dimension which can block | close the clearance gap between the thresholds 31 and 32 as shown in FIG. That is, it has a planar shape consisting of a length that is slightly larger than the entrance of the car-side doorway 24 shown in FIG. 2 and a width that is slightly larger than the gap between the sills 31 and 32 shown in FIGS.

  Moreover, the cross section is made into a vertically long shape, and the recessed part 35a is formed in the opposing part with the illustration right side surface of the threshold 32 on the landing side. The recess 35a is provided to avoid the head of a screw 36a provided on the right side of the sill 32 on the landing side. The screw 36a is for attaching the plate 36 that partitions the space between the lower floors. Further, a chamfer 35 b is applied to the upper corner portion of the closing member 35.

  The closing member 35 is slidable between a closing position where the gap between the sills 31 and 32 shown in FIG. 6 is closed and a retreat position where the sill 31 is retracted to the lower part of the car-side sill 31 shown in FIGS. (FIG. 8 is a view in which some parts are removed from FIG. 7 to make it easier to see the state of the closing member 35 in the retracted position). The drive mechanism 41, which will be described later, slides between the closing position and the retracted position as the car door 25 is opened and closed.

  Here, the closing member 35 may be pushed by an object having a running clearance width of the gap or less at the closing position. For example, the heel of the high heel of the passenger passing through the sills 31 and 32, the tip of the umbrella, etc. may reach the closing member 35 located below the clearance member through the gap and press the upper surface thereof. For this reason, the closing member 35 needs to endure the load to some extent against this pressing. On the other hand, in order to narrow the gap at the closing position, it is necessary to press the closing member 35 against the side surface of the threshold 32 on the landing side.

  Therefore, in this embodiment, the closing member 35 is configured by using a hard material for the main body portion that closes the gap and using a soft material for the tip portion that contacts the side surface of the sill 32 on the landing side.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 9, it is composed of a main body portion 35A and a tip portion 35B. The main body portion 35A further includes an upper main body portion 35Aa and a lower main body portion 35Ab, and a rubber material to be the tip portion 35B is sandwiched between the upper main body portion 35Aa and the lower main body portion 35Ab, and is integrally configured.

  As described above, the main body portion 35A is made of a material having sufficient strength and hardness that does not chip or deform even when the heel of a high heel, the tip of an umbrella, or the like is pressed through a gap. For example, the upper main body portion 35Aa and the lower main body portion 35Ab of the main body portion 35A are formed of an aluminum extruded material. A stainless steel block may be used instead of aluminum. Of course, other metal materials may be used.

  Further, not limited to metal materials, for example, as shown in FIG. 10, a hard resin material is used for the main body portion 35A and a soft resin material is used for the distal end portion 35B, and these are integrally extruded and molded as shown. May be.

  By configuring the closing member 35 as described above, even if it is pushed by the heel of a high heel or the tip of an umbrella, it has sufficient strength and hardness to withstand the load, so that deformation or breakage does not occur. Moreover, even if it is pressed against the sill 32 on the landing side, a contact sound that hits hard objects is not generated, and the passenger does not feel uncomfortable.

  The closing member 35 is attached to a bracket 51 provided on the drive mechanism 41 side via a leaf spring-like elastic member (hereinafter referred to as a leaf spring) 52. Therefore, the closing member 35 is supported by the leaf spring 52 so as to be swingable in the interval direction between the car-side sill 31 and the landing-side sill 32 (which is also the front-rear direction with respect to the sliding movement direction). The bracket 51 and the leaf spring 52 are also divided at the same portion as the closing member 35, and support the divided corresponding portions of the closing member 35.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the drive mechanism 41 is configured to be able to engage with the operation member 42 on the car door 25 side as the car door 25 opens and closes. Then, the force received from the operating member 42 by the engagement with the operating member 42 is converted into the sliding movement direction of the closing member 35, and the closing member 35 is driven in the sliding movement direction.

  In this embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the drive mechanism 41 is rotatable through four links 46, 47, 48, 49 and one end of each of these links and a connecting shaft 50. And a bracket 51 connected thereto. The four links 46, 47, 48, and 49 are rotatably supported via a pivot shaft 45 on a support member 44 provided on the car 4 side.

  Out of these four links, the inner links 47 and 48 are for connection driving, and the other end thereof is connected to a connection rod 55 via a connection shaft 54. The inner links 47 and 48 and the connecting rod 55 interlock the closing member 35 with the left and right parts of the bracket 51 and the leaf spring 52 associated therewith. To do. A tension spring 56 is stretched between the right end of the connecting rod 55 in the figure and the support member 44, and applies a force in a direction to translate the bracket 51 toward the support member 44 to the drive mechanism 41.

  A base end portion of a lever 58 is integrally attached to the pivot shaft 45 of the link 46 constituting the drive mechanism 41. An operating pin 59 is erected at the tip of the lever 58. As shown in FIG. 3, the upper side surface of the operation pin 59 is disposed so as to be engageable with an operation member 42 provided integrally on the door panel 25 a side of the car door 25. That is, the operating pin 59 abuts and engages with the operating member 42 by opening the car door 25 to a predetermined open position, and the lever 58 and the pivot shaft 45 integral therewith are rotated counterclockwise in the drawing. Let

  Due to this rotation, the link 46 integral with the pivot shaft 45 and the other links 47, 48, 49 connected via the bracket 51 also rotate counterclockwise in the figure against the tension of the tension spring 56. Move. By the operation of the drive mechanism 41, the closing member 35 supported on the bracket 51 and the upper portion thereof via the leaf spring 52 is moved from the retracted position shown in FIGS. 4, 7, and 8 to the closing member shown in FIGS. It is drawn out to the position.

Here, the tension spring 56 described above is finally connected to the closing member 35 via the drive mechanism 41, the bracket 51, and the like. The tension spring 56 applies a force in a direction to return the closing member 35 to the retracted position shown in FIGS. 4, 7, and 8 via the drive mechanism 41. Accordingly, the tension spring 56 functions as a return spring that returns the closing member 35 to the retracted position (hereinafter referred to as the return spring 56).
In this way, the drive mechanism 41 opens the car door 25 to a predetermined open position, so that the operating pin 59 is engaged with the operating member 42 on the car door 25 side as shown in FIG. In response to the movement force in the opening direction of 25, the closing member 35 in the retracted position is slid to the closing position against the spring force of the return spring 56.

  For the above-described sliding movement of the closing member 35, a stopper 61 for stopping the closing member 35 at the closing position and the retracted position is provided on the support member 44 as shown in FIGS. FIG. 11 shows the stopper 61 taken out. The stopper 61 has a U-shaped member fixedly installed on the support member 44, and is provided with a cushioning material 62 such as rubber on both inner side surfaces thereof, and is extended from the bracket 51 on the closing member 35 side therebetween. A contact member 63 having an L-shaped cross section is disposed.

  With this configuration, the abutting member 63 extended from the bracket 51 abuts on both inner side surfaces of the U-shaped member of the stopper 61, so that the sliding movement of the closing member 35 is correctly stopped at the closing position and the retracted position. be able to. The cushioning material 62 such as rubber may be provided on one or both of the stopper 61 and the contact member 63.

  Of the pivot shaft 45 that constitutes the drive mechanism 41, the one disposed at the right end in FIGS. 2 and 3 is integral with the lever 58, and the operating pin 59 erected on the lever 58 is provided on the side of the car door 25. This is a rotating shaft that rotates by abutting engagement with the operating member 42. As shown in FIGS. 6 to 8, a torsion spring 65 is provided on the rotation shaft, and a rotational force is provided against the rotation direction due to the engagement with the operation member 42.

  With this configuration, the operating pin can always be returned to the correct position when the operating pin 59 is not engaged with the operating member 42.

  In the above configuration, when the car door 25 is in the closed state, the operation member 42 on the car door 25 side shown in FIG. 3 is not in contact with and engaged with the operation pin 59 on the drive mechanism 41 side. 41 does not receive the acting force from the car door 25 side. Therefore, the closing member 35 and the bracket 51 supporting the closing member 35 are pulled back to the support member 44 side by the tension of the return spring 56 shown in FIG. 4, and the closing member 35 is moved to the car side sill as shown in FIGS. It is in the retracted position below 31.

  When the car 4 reaches the landing and the car door 25 opens and moves to a predetermined open position, the actuating member 42 provided on the door panel 25a side becomes an actuating pin 59 constituting the drive mechanism 41. The lever 58, which is in contact and engaged and provided with the operating pin 59 by the opening operation force of the door panel 25a, is rotated about the pivot shaft 45 counterclockwise in the figure.

  By this operation, the drive mechanism 41 rotates in the same direction against the tension of the return spring 56, and the bracket 51 and the closing member 35 supported by the bracket 51 are extended from the state of FIG. 4 to the state of FIG. Accordingly, the closing member 35 slides to the left in the drawing from the retracted position below the car-side sill 31 shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, and reaches the closing position shown in FIG. The front end portion (the left end portion in the drawing) of the closing member 35 is in contact with the right side surface in the drawing of the sill 32 on the landing side to close the gap between the sills 31 and 32.

  Here, the gap interval between the sills 31 and 32, that is, the clearance dimension is not a constant value as described above, but differs depending on the installation error of each floor. Also, the dimensions fluctuate due to the back and forth play of the car guide device and the car vertical displacement when getting on and off.

  In the embodiment of the present invention, the closing member 35 is attached to the bracket 51 via the leaf spring 52 so as to be swingable back and forth in the slide movement direction. That is, the closing member 35 can swing back and forth at the protruding position (closing position). Moreover, it is urged | biased by the board | plate spring 52 (illustration left), and when it pushes in a cage | basket | car direction (illustration right), it will retract, and when the pushing force is removed, it will return to the original closing position. .

  With this structure, when the running clearance is narrower than usual, it can be pushed back to the car side (right side in the figure), and when it is wide, it can protrude to the closing position, so it is possible to obtain a closed state with a higher degree of sealing. Become.

  Thus, when the closing member 35 is in the closing position, it closes the gap between the sills 31 and 32, so that small items do not fall into the pit from this gap and can be easily collected. Moreover, since the upper surface of the closing member 35 is located below the upper surfaces of the sills 31 and 32, the load of the object located on the sills 31 and 32 is not directly applied to the closing member 35, and the load is applied. It is possible to prevent the support portion of the closing member 35 from being damaged.

  Further, in the closing position, the closing member 35 is pressed by an object having a running clearance width or less of the gap, for example, a heel of a passenger's high heel passing through the sills 31 and 32, a tip of an umbrella, etc. Since a hard material is used for the portion 35A, the main body portion 35A is not deformed or damaged by a load caused by a heel of a high heel or a tip of an umbrella. In addition, since the tip portion 35B that contacts the side surface of the sill 32 on the landing side is made of a soft material, even if it is pressed against the sill 32 on the landing side during sliding movement to the closing position, hard objects hit each other. No contact sound is generated, and passengers do not feel uncomfortable.

  When the load on the car 4 changes greatly in the state where the gap is closed by the closing member 35, the car 4 may temporarily rise slightly. Even if such a temporary raising of the car 4 occurs, the chamfer 35b is applied to the upper corner portion of the closing member 35 and the closing member 35 is supported by the leaf spring 52. Does not occur.

  For example, when a passenger who has been in a full state in the car 4 goes down at a time, the car 4 slightly rises temporarily. At this time, the closing member 35 located at the closing position shown in FIG. 6 is also lifted and brought into contact with the lower side portion of the sill 32 on the landing side. However, since the chamfer 35b is applied to the upper corner portion of the closing member 35 facing the lower side portion of the sill 32 on the landing side, the contact force of this portion is weakened, and damage due to contact can be prevented. In addition, since the closing member 35 is supported by the leaf spring 52, the leaf spring 52 is also bent in the vertical direction at the time of contact as described above. Can prevent damage due to contact.

  On the other hand, when the car door 25 is closed and moved to a predetermined door closing position, the operating member 42 provided on the door panel 25 a side is separated from the operating pin 59 constituting the drive mechanism 41. Therefore, the force applied to the drive mechanism 41 via the operating pin 59 is released, and the drive mechanism 41 causes the pivot shaft 45 to rotate in the clockwise direction in the figure by the tension of the return spring 56, so that the bracket 51 and this The closing member 35 supported on the back is pulled back from the state of FIG. 5 to the state of FIG. Accordingly, the closing member 35 slides to the right in the drawing from the closing position shown in FIG. 6 to the retracted position below the car-side sill 31 shown in FIGS.

  In this way, the closing member 35 slides from the retracted position to the closing position by the link mechanism that operates in response to the moving force in the opening direction of the car door, and the spring force of the return spring during the closing operation of the car door To slide from the closing position to the retracted position. In this sliding movement, the stopper 61 can correctly stop the closing member 35 at both the closing position and the retracted position. For this reason, it is possible to reliably prevent the blocking member from overrunning without stopping at the normal position and colliding with other parts to be damaged. Even if an overrun occurs, the closing member 35 is supported by the leaf spring 52, so that an impact caused by a collision with another component can be buffered by the bending of the leaf spring 52, and damage to the component can be prevented. .

  In addition, when the leaf | plate spring 52 bends, a clearance gap may arise in the junction part with the bracket 51, and if dust etc. are pinched | interposed into this clearance gap, it will be considered that it cannot return to an original shape. Therefore, it is advisable to provide guards such as caulking and gabber installation in advance for the portion where this gap may occur.

  Further, the leaf spring 52 has a function of bending in the vertical direction as described above. For this reason, in order to generate the vertical deflection more effectively, at least one bent portion in the horizontal direction is formed in the vertical intermediate portion of the leaf spring 52 to generate a vertical spring force. Also good. As this bending part, as shown in FIG. 12, the leaf | plate spring 52 may be bend | folded in a cross-sectional square shape, or you may curve in a semicircle as shown in FIG. Furthermore, a plurality of square-shaped bends may be made continuous in the vertical direction, or a plurality of semicircles may be made continuous in the vertical direction to form an S-shaped curve.

  If formed in this way, the leaf spring 52 can be effectively deflected also in the longitudinal direction parallel to the plate surface.

  In the above-described embodiment, the drive mechanism 41 is configured to always pull the bracket 51 back to the support member 44 side by the tension of the return spring (tension spring) 56 as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5. Instead of the return spring 56, an operating spring 66 that generates a repulsive force may be provided between the support member 44 and the right end of the link 47 so that a force for feeding the bracket 51 in the direction of FIG. Good. That is, the bracket 51 and the closing member 35 supported on the bracket 51 via the leaf spring 52 are connected to the operating spring 66 via the drive mechanism 41, and the moving force to the closing position shown in FIGS. Will always be received.

  In this case, when the car mechanism 25 is in the door closed end position shown in FIG. 14 where the car door 25 is completely closed, as shown in FIG. 15, the operating pin 59 is an operating member provided on the door panel 25a side. 72 is engaged. For this reason, the drive mechanism 41 is held in the state of FIG. 4 in which the repulsive force of the operating spring 66 is stored. That is, the closing member 35 is held at the retracted position shown in FIGS.

  On the other hand, when the car door 25 is opened and the door panel 25a starts the door opening operation from the door closing end of FIG. 14, the operation member 72 on the car door 25 side is moved to the right side of the figure from the state of FIG. Therefore, the engaging force with the operating member 72 is released. For this reason, each link 46, 47, 48, 49 constituting the drive mechanism 41 is rotated counterclockwise in the figure around the pivot shaft 45 by the repulsive force of the operating spring 66. By the operation of the drive mechanism 41, the bracket 51 and the closing member 35 supported on the bracket 51 via the leaf spring 52 are extended from the state of FIG. 4 to the state of FIG. That is, the closing member 35 slides from the retracted position shown in FIGS. 7 and 8 to the closing position shown in FIG.

  On the other hand, when the car door 25 is closed from the fully open state, the door panel 25a closes to the vicinity of the door closing end, whereby the operation member 72 engages with the operation pin 59 on the drive mechanism 41 side as shown in FIG. For this reason, the lever 58 having the operating pin 59 is driven in the clockwise direction in the drawing by the force in the closing direction of the door panel 25a. That is, the driving mechanism 41 returns the bracket 51 and the closing member 35 supported on the bracket 51 via the leaf spring 52 from the state of FIG. 5 to the state of FIG. 4 by the force in the closing direction of the door panel 25a. That is, the closing member 35 slides from the closing position shown in FIG. 6 to the retracted position shown in FIGS.

  Thus, the drive mechanism 41 is disengaged from the actuating member 72 when the door opening operation starts from the door closing end of the car door 25. Allow sliding movement. Further, as the car door 25 moves to the door closing end, it engages with the actuating member 72 on the car door 25 side, receives the moving force of the car door 25, and slides the closing member 35 at the closing position to the retracted position. Let

  That is, when the car door 25 starts to open, the closing member 35 immediately moves to the closing position. When the car door 25 is closed, the closing member 35 moves from the closing position to the retracted position immediately before the car door 25 is fully closed. For this reason, even if a passenger or cargo enters and exits while the car door 25 is open or closed, the closing member 35 is in a state of closing the gap between the sills 31 and 32, so that small items may fall from the gap. Can be reliably prevented.

  Note that the engagement portions of the driving mechanism 41 with the operation members 42 and 72 on the car door 25 side, that is, the positions where the operation pins 59 are installed, are the front and rear openings 24 of the car 4 that is opened and closed by the car door 25. Outside.

  In the above-described embodiment, each of the drive mechanisms 41 is configured to mechanically drive the door opening / closing force by converting the door opening / closing force into the moving force of the member 35. It is not limited to such a mechanical drive mechanism. For example, a drive mechanism that electrically detects that the door has reached a predetermined open or closed position, operates an actuator such as a motor, and moves the closing member may be used.

  In the above embodiment, the drive mechanism 41 slides the closing member 35 from the retracted position to the closing position. However, the present invention has sufficient strength and hardness to withstand the load even when the closing member that closes the gap between the sill on the car side and the landing side is pushed by the heel of a high heel or the tip of an umbrella, etc. When pressing against the side sill side, it is an object to prevent contact sound that hard objects hit each other, and this is, for example, laterally while raising the closing member from the lower retreat position Also, it can be applied to a moving and closing operation. Therefore, the drive mechanism may be configured to move not only by sliding the closing member but also in combination with vertical movement and horizontal movement.

  Although several embodiments of the present invention have been described, these embodiments have been presented by way of example and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention. These novel embodiments can be implemented in various other forms, and various omissions, replacements, and changes can be made without departing from the scope of the invention. These embodiments and modifications thereof are included in the scope and gist of the invention, and are included in the invention described in the claims and the equivalents thereof.

  An embodiment of the present invention relates to an elevator apparatus having a structure for closing a gap formed between a landing side and a sill on a car side provided at an entrance to a car.

  In an elevator system in which a car installed in the hoistway of a building moves up and down between floors to carry people and luggage, there is a constant distance between the landings on each floor and the car in order to raise and lower the car. The gap is provided. For this reason, when the car stops landing at the landing and the door of the entrance is opened, a gap (also referred to as running clearance) is generated between the landing side sill and the car side sill. The gap between the sills is dangerous because it causes a person to stumble or a wheel such as a wheelchair or a bogie falls. In addition, small articles such as keys and cards may fall into the pit from the sill gap, making recovery difficult.

  In view of this, there has conventionally been proposed a member that is provided with a closing member for closing the gap between the sills and is operated so as to close the sill gap when the door is opened (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

  In such a mechanism for closing the running clearance when the door is opened, the closing member may be pushed by an object having a width equal to or less than the running clearance width, for example, the heel of a high heel or the tip of an umbrella. For this reason, it is necessary to endure the load to some extent, and it is necessary to make it with a hard material with high strength. On the other hand, in order to narrow the gap, it is necessary to press the closing member against the sill (hole sill) side on the landing side. In this case, if the closing member is made of a hard material having high strength, a contact sound that hits hard objects is generated at the time of pressing, which is not preferable.

  The present invention has a sufficient strength and hardness to withstand the load even when the plugging member that closes the gap between the car side and the landing side sill is pushed by the heel of a high heel or the tip of an umbrella, etc. An object of the present invention is to provide an elevator apparatus that is configured so as not to generate a contact sound that hits hard objects when pressed against a sill side.

The elevator apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a car-side sill that guides a car door provided at an entrance of a car along its opening and closing direction, and each floor on which the car can land, the landing door provided the entrance to the car, closing the sill ride Ri field side guides along the opening and closing direction, the gap formed between the threshold of the threshold and ride Ri field side of the cage-side it has a shape that can, and closing member configured to be movable between the avoidance position retreat the closing position closes the gap, is coupled to the closing member, with the opening operation of the car door, the A driving mechanism that moves the closing member from the retracted position to the closing position and moves the closing member from the closing position to the retracted position in accordance with the closing operation of the car door, and the closing member closes the gap. upper body portion and a lower present but by a hard material It consists of a part, and integrally formed with tip portion by side abutting soft material of the landing side of the sill are sandwiched between the upper main body and the lower body portion.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

  First, the overall configuration of the elevator apparatus will be described with reference to FIG. As shown in FIG. 1, the elevator apparatus 1 includes a passenger car 4 and a counterweight 5 disposed in a hoistway 3. Above the hoistway 3 is provided a machine room 6 in which a hoisting machine 7 for driving a main rope 9 and a control device 8 are installed. The control device 8 controls the entire elevator device 1 and controls the hoisting machine 7 in accordance with a landing call or a car call so that the car 4 is landed on the floor where the call was made.

  A so-called machine room-less elevator device in which the hoisting machine 7 and the control device 8 are downsized and provided in the upper part in the hoistway 3 without providing the machine room 6 may be used.

  In this elevator apparatus 1, an entrance 12 that leads to a car 4 in the hoistway 3 is provided at a landing 11 provided on each floor of the building, and a landing door 2 is provided at the entrance 12. The landing door 2 is engaged with the side of the car door 25 provided at the entrance / exit 24 of the car 4 via an interlock mechanism (not shown) when the car 4 is landed, and interlocks with the opening and closing of the car door 25. Opens and closes.

FIG. 2 is a front view of the car door 25 provided at the entrance of the car 4 as seen from the landing 11 side. The car door 25 is a so-called double-opening method in which two door panels 25a and 25b (only the door contact portions are shown, and the other portions are not shown) are opened to the left and right in the drawing different from each other. These two doors panels 25a, 25b are connected to the door opening and closing Organization constructed on both sides of the doorway 24 of the car 4, more driven in the drawing the left-right direction in the door opening and closing Organization, and is opened and closed .

Incidentally, the door opening and closing Organization are well known and does not relate directly to the present invention is the structure description is omitted, the power of the motor (not shown), two doors panels 25a, 25b and in conjunction with each other, It is driven in the left-right direction along the guide rail to open and close.

  A car-side sill 31 is provided at the entrance / exit part of the car 4, and the two door panels 25a and 25b constituting the car door 25 described above are slidably guided along the opening and closing direction thereof. . This car-side sill 31 is provided at the lower side of the car doorway 24, and the guide grooves formed on the upper surface thereof engage with the lower ends of the two door panels 25a and 25b, respectively. Guide in the opening and closing direction.

  As shown in FIGS. 8 to 10, a sill 32 is provided on the platform 11 side with respect to the sill 31 on the car side. The platform-side sill 32 is disposed to face one side surface (the left side surface in FIGS. 8 to 10) of the car-side sill 31 with a predetermined distance. A guide groove is also formed on the upper surface of the threshold 32 on the landing side, and guides the landing door 2 shown in FIG. 1 so as to be slidable along the opening and closing direction.

The ride Batobira 2 also intended casement system with door panels but the two not shown, as described above, when the car 4 is implanted in landing 11, it engages with the car door 25, the car door 25 opens and closes. That is, the landing door 2 has two door panels locked in a closed state by an interlock mechanism (not shown) when the car 4 is not landing, and when the car 4 is landing, the car 4 The locking state described above is released by engaging with an engaging member (not shown) on the side, and the door is opened and closed together with the car door 25.

When the car 4 is landed to a predetermined floor, as described above, between the field side of the threshold 32 Ri-ride the sill 31 of the car side, a gap (running clearance) shown in FIGS. 6 to 8 occurs. In the embodiment of the present invention, a closing member 35 is provided to close this gap.

As shown in FIG. 2, the closing member 35 is divided into left and right. This divided part is a part where the car-side sill 31 passes over an interlock mechanism (specifically, a roller part engaged with the car side) provided on the landing side when the car 4 is raised and lowered, In order to allow passage of the interlock mechanism, it is divided with a space left and right. In other words, event, even if the lift is car while being fed to a position closing the closing member, the interlocking mechanism of the ride Ri field side, passes through the formed divided portion of the closing member 35 fed out space since the fed-out closing member and the interlock mechanism does not collide.

The ride Ri field side of the threshold 32, at the opposite state of the threshold 31 of the car side, blocks loosely fitted is provided to protrude to the divided space portions. This block, multiplication Ri field side of the sill 32, opposed to the sill 31 of the car side and is integrally provided at the portion facing the divided spatial portion of the blocking member 35. Therefore, the car 4 is landed, ride Ri when the threshold 32 and the car side of the sill 31 of the field side faces protrudes ride Ri field side of the sill 32 in a space portion provided block is divided into Will be loosely fitted. For this reason, when the door is open, the space generated in the divided portion is substantially blocked by the block that is loosely fitted therein, and the fall of small items from the space of the divided portion can be prevented.

The upper surface of the closing member 35, as shown in FIGS. 6 to 8, positioned below the upper surface of the car side of the sill 31 and ride Ri field side of the threshold 32. Moreover, the planar shape is formed in the shape dimension which can block | close the clearance gap between the thresholds 31 and 32 as shown in FIG. That is, a somewhat greater length than the frontage of the car side of the doorway 24 as shown in FIG. 2, ing and a slightly larger width than the gap between the sill 31 and 32 shown in FIGS. 6 to 8.

  Moreover, the cross section is made into a vertically long shape, and the recessed part 35a is formed in the opposing part with the illustration right side surface of the threshold 32 on the landing side. The recess 35a is provided to avoid the head of a screw 36a provided on the right side of the sill 32 on the landing side. The screw 36a is for attaching the plate 36 that partitions the space between the lower floors. Further, a chamfer 35 b is applied to the upper corner portion of the closing member 35.

  The closing member 35 is slidable between a closing position where the gap between the sills 31 and 32 shown in FIG. 6 is closed and a retreat position where the sill 31 is retracted to the lower part of the car-side sill 31 shown in FIGS. (FIG. 8 is a view in which some parts are removed from FIG. 7 to make it easier to see the state of the closing member 35 in the retracted position). The drive mechanism 41, which will be described later, slides between the closing position and the retracted position as the car door 25 is opened and closed.

Here, the closing member 35, in the closing position, it may be pushed below the ones run-training clearance width. For example, the heel of a high heel of a passenger passing through the sills 31 and 32, the tip of an umbrella, etc. may pass through the gap part and reach the closing member 35 located at the lower part thereof and press the upper surface thereof. For this reason, the closing member 35 needs to endure the load to some extent against this pressing. On the other hand, in order to narrow the gap at the closing position, it is necessary to press the closing member 35 against the side surface of the threshold 32 on the landing side.

  Therefore, in this embodiment, the closing member 35 is configured by using a hard material for the main body portion that closes the gap and using a soft material for the tip portion that contacts the side surface of the sill 32 on the landing side.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 9, it is composed of a main body portion 35A and a tip portion 35B. The main body portion 35A further includes an upper main body portion 35Aa and a lower main body portion 35Ab, and a rubber material to be the tip portion 35B is sandwiched between the upper main body portion 35Aa and the lower main body portion 35Ab, and is integrally configured.

  As described above, the main body portion 35A is made of a material having sufficient strength and hardness that does not chip or deform even when the heel of a high heel, the tip of an umbrella, or the like is pressed through a gap. For example, the upper main body portion 35Aa and the lower main body portion 35Ab of the main body portion 35A are formed of an aluminum extruded material. A stainless steel block may be used instead of aluminum. Of course, other metal materials may be used.

  Further, not limited to metal materials, for example, as shown in FIG. 10, a hard resin material is used for the main body portion 35A and a soft resin material is used for the distal end portion 35B, and these are integrally extruded and molded as shown. May be.

  By configuring the closing member 35 as described above, even if it is pushed by the heel of a high heel or the tip of an umbrella, it has sufficient strength and hardness to withstand the load, so that deformation or breakage does not occur. Moreover, even if it is pressed against the sill 32 on the landing side, a contact sound that hits hard objects is not generated, and the passenger does not feel uncomfortable.

The closing member 35 is attached to a bracket 51 provided on the drive mechanism 41 side via a leaf spring-like elastic member (hereinafter referred to as a leaf spring) 52. Therefore closing member 35, the leaf spring 52, is pivotal supported to be able to (also in the longitudinal direction with respect to the slide moving direction) spacing direction of the car side of the sill 31 and ride Ri field side of the threshold 32. The bracket 51 and the leaf spring 52 are also divided at the same portion as the closing member 35, and support the divided corresponding portions of the closing member 35.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the drive mechanism 41 is configured to be able to engage with the operation member 42 on the car door 25 side as the car door 25 opens and closes. Then, the force received from the operating member 42 by the engagement with the operating member 42 is converted into the sliding movement direction of the closing member 35, and the closing member 35 is driven in the sliding movement direction.

  In this embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the drive mechanism 41 is rotatable through four links 46, 47, 48, 49 and one end of each of these links and a connecting shaft 50. And a bracket 51 connected thereto. The four links 46, 47, 48, and 49 are rotatably supported via a pivot shaft 45 on a support member 44 provided on the car 4 side.

  Out of these four links, the inner links 47 and 48 are for connection driving, and the other end thereof is connected to a connection rod 55 via a connection shaft 54. The inner links 47 and 48 and the connecting rod 55 interlock the closing member 35 with the left and right parts of the bracket 51 and the leaf spring 52 associated therewith, and these divided parts operate integrally. . A tension spring 56 is stretched between the right end of the connecting rod 55 in the figure and the support member 44, and applies a force in a direction to translate the bracket 51 toward the support member 44 to the drive mechanism 41.

  A base end portion of a lever 58 is integrally attached to the pivot shaft 45 of the link 46 constituting the drive mechanism 41. An operating pin 59 is erected at the tip of the lever 58. As shown in FIG. 3, the upper side surface of the operation pin 59 is disposed so as to be engageable with an operation member 42 provided integrally on the door panel 25 a side of the car door 25. That is, the operating pin 59 abuts and engages with the operating member 42 by opening the car door 25 to a predetermined open position, and the lever 58 and the pivot shaft 45 integral therewith are rotated counterclockwise in the drawing. Let

  Due to this rotation, the link 46 integral with the pivot shaft 45 and the other links 47, 48, 49 connected via the bracket 51 also rotate counterclockwise in the figure against the tension of the tension spring 56. Move. By the operation of the drive mechanism 41, the closing member 35 supported on the bracket 51 and the upper portion thereof via the leaf spring 52 is moved from the retracted position shown in FIGS. 4, 7, and 8 to the closing member shown in FIGS. It is drawn out to the position.

Here, the tension spring 56 described above is finally connected to the closing member 35 via the drive mechanism 41, the bracket 51, and the like. The tension spring 56 applies a force in a direction to return the closing member 35 to the retracted position shown in FIGS. 4, 7, and 8 via the drive mechanism 41. Accordingly, the tension spring 56 functions as a return spring that returns the closing member 35 to the retracted position (hereinafter referred to as return spring 56).
In this way, the drive mechanism 41 opens the car door 25 to a predetermined open position, so that the operating pin 59 is engaged with the operating member 42 on the car door 25 side as shown in FIG. In response to the movement force in the opening direction of 25, the closing member 35 in the retracted position is slid to the closing position against the spring force of the return spring 56.

  For the above-described sliding movement of the closing member 35, a stopper 61 for stopping the closing member 35 at the closing position and the retracted position is provided on the support member 44 as shown in FIGS. FIG. 11 shows the stopper 61 taken out. The stopper 61 has a U-shaped member fixedly installed on the support member 44, and is provided with a cushioning material 62 such as rubber on both inner side surfaces thereof, and is extended from the bracket 51 on the closing member 35 side therebetween. A contact member 63 having an L-shaped cross section is disposed.

  With this configuration, the abutting member 63 extended from the bracket 51 abuts on both inner side surfaces of the U-shaped member of the stopper 61, so that the sliding movement of the closing member 35 is correctly stopped at the closing position and the retracted position. be able to. The cushioning material 62 such as rubber may be provided on one or both of the stopper 61 and the contact member 63.

  Of the pivot shaft 45 that constitutes the drive mechanism 41, the one disposed at the right end in FIGS. 2 and 3 is integral with the lever 58, and the operating pin 59 erected on the lever 58 is provided on the side of the car door 25. This is a rotating shaft that rotates by abutting engagement with the operating member 42. As shown in FIGS. 6 to 8, a torsion spring 65 is provided on the rotation shaft, and a rotational force is provided against the rotation direction due to the engagement with the operation member 42.

  With this configuration, the operating pin can always be returned to the correct position when the operating pin 59 is not engaged with the operating member 42.

  In the above configuration, when the car door 25 is in the closed state, the operation member 42 on the car door 25 side shown in FIG. 3 is not in contact with and engaged with the operation pin 59 on the drive mechanism 41 side. 41 does not receive the acting force from the car door 25 side. Therefore, the closing member 35 and the bracket 51 supporting the closing member 35 are pulled back to the support member 44 side by the tension of the return spring 56 shown in FIG. 4, and the closing member 35 is moved to the car side sill as shown in FIGS. It is in the retracted position below 31.

  When the car 4 reaches the landing and the car door 25 opens and moves to a predetermined open position, the actuating member 42 provided on the door panel 25a side becomes an actuating pin 59 constituting the drive mechanism 41. The lever 58, which is in contact and engaged and provided with the operating pin 59 by the opening operation force of the door panel 25a, is rotated about the pivot shaft 45 counterclockwise in the figure.

By this operation, the drive mechanism 41 rotates in the same direction against the tension of the return spring 56, and the bracket 51 and the closing member 35 supported by the bracket 51 are extended from the state of FIG. 4 to the state of FIG. Accordingly, the closing member 35 slides to the left in the drawing from the retracted position below the car-side sill 31 shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, and reaches the closing position shown in FIG. Then, the front end (shown left end) of the closing member 35 is in contact with the right side surface of the sill 32 of squared Ri field side, close the gap between the sill 31.

  Here, the gap interval between the sills 31 and 32, that is, the clearance dimension is not a constant value as described above, but differs depending on the installation error of each floor. Also, the dimensions fluctuate due to the back and forth play of the car guide device and the car vertical displacement when getting on and off.

  In the embodiment of the present invention, the closing member 35 is attached to the bracket 51 via the leaf spring 52 so as to be swingable back and forth in the slide movement direction. That is, the closing member 35 can swing back and forth at the protruding position (closing position). Moreover, it is urged | biased by the board | plate spring 52 (illustration left), and when it pushes in a cage | basket | car direction (illustration right), it will retract, and when the pushing force is removed, it will return to the original closing position. .

  With this structure, when the running clearance is narrower than usual, it can be pushed back to the car side (right side in the figure), and when it is wide, it can protrude to the closing position, so it is possible to obtain a closed state with a higher degree of sealing. Become.

  Thus, when the closing member 35 is in the closing position, it closes the gap between the sills 31 and 32, so that small items do not fall into the pit from this gap and can be easily collected. Moreover, since the upper surface of the closing member 35 is located below the upper surfaces of the sills 31 and 32, the load of the object located on the sills 31 and 32 is not directly applied to the closing member 35, and the load is applied. It is possible to prevent the support portion of the closing member 35 from being damaged.

Further, in the closing position, closing member 35, the following ones run-training clearance width, for example, but it is pressed by the passenger's high heel heels or umbrella tip like that passes through the threshold 31 and 32 parts, the body portion for closing the gap Since a hard material is used for 35A, the main body portion 35A is not deformed or damaged by a load caused by a heel of a high heel or a tip of an umbrella. In addition, since the tip portion 35B that contacts the side surface of the sill 32 on the landing side is made of a soft material, even if it is pressed against the sill 32 on the landing side during sliding movement to the closing position, hard objects hit each other. No contact sound is generated, and passengers do not feel uncomfortable.

  When the load on the car 4 changes greatly in the state where the gap is closed by the closing member 35, the car 4 may temporarily rise slightly. Even if such a temporary raising of the car 4 occurs, the chamfer 35b is applied to the upper corner portion of the closing member 35 and the closing member 35 is supported by the leaf spring 52. Does not occur.

For example, when a passenger who has been in a full state in the car 4 goes down at a time, the car 4 slightly rises temporarily. At this time, the closing member 35 located at the closing position shown in FIG. 6 is also lifted and brought into contact with the lower side portion of the sill 32 on the landing side. However, since the chamfer 35b is applied to the upper corner portion of the closing member 35 facing the lower side portion of the sill 32 on the landing side, the contact force of this portion is weakened, and damage due to contact can be prevented. Also, plugging since the member 35 is supported by the leaf spring 52, upon contact described above, the leaf spring 52 is wrinkle vertically no. Shock weakened by abutment by the buffer action of its can also prevent damage from contact from this.

  On the other hand, when the car door 25 is closed and moved to a predetermined door closing position, the operating member 42 provided on the door panel 25 a side is separated from the operating pin 59 constituting the drive mechanism 41. Therefore, the force applied to the drive mechanism 41 via the operating pin 59 is released, and the drive mechanism 41 causes the pivot shaft 45 to rotate in the clockwise direction in the figure by the tension of the return spring 56, so that the bracket 51 and this The closing member 35 supported on the back is pulled back from the state of FIG. 5 to the state of FIG. Accordingly, the closing member 35 slides to the right in the drawing from the closing position shown in FIG. 6 to the retracted position below the car-side sill 31 shown in FIGS.

In this way, the closing member 35 is slid from the retracted position to the closing position by the drive mechanism 41 that operates by receiving the moving force in the opening direction of the car door, and when the car door is closed, the spring of the return spring is moved. It slides from the closing position to the retracted position by force. In this sliding movement, the stopper 61 can correctly stop the closing member 35 at both the closing position and the retracted position. For this reason, it is possible to reliably prevent the blocking member from overrunning without stopping at the normal position and colliding with other parts to be damaged. Even if an overrun occurs, the closing member 35 is supported by the leaf spring 52, so that an impact caused by a collision with another component can be buffered by the bending of the leaf spring 52, and damage to the component can be prevented. .

  In addition, when the leaf | plate spring 52 bends, a clearance gap may arise in the junction part with the bracket 51, and if dust etc. are pinched | interposed into this clearance gap, it will be considered that it cannot return to an original shape. Therefore, it is advisable to provide guards such as caulking and gabber installation in advance for the portion where this gap may occur.

  Further, the leaf spring 52 has a function of bending in the vertical direction as described above. For this reason, in order to generate the vertical deflection more effectively, at least one bent portion in the horizontal direction is formed in the vertical intermediate portion of the leaf spring 52 to generate a vertical spring force. Also good. As this bending part, as shown in FIG. 12, the leaf | plate spring 52 may be bend | folded in a cross-sectional square shape, or you may curve in a semicircle as shown in FIG. Furthermore, a plurality of square-shaped bends may be made continuous in the vertical direction, or a plurality of semicircles may be made continuous in the vertical direction to form an S-shaped curve.

  If formed in this way, the leaf spring 52 can be effectively deflected also in the longitudinal direction parallel to the plate surface.

  In the above-described embodiment, the drive mechanism 41 is configured to always pull the bracket 51 back to the support member 44 side by the tension of the return spring (tension spring) 56 as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5. Instead of the return spring 56, an operating spring 66 that generates a repulsive force may be provided between the support member 44 and the right end of the link 47 so that a force for feeding the bracket 51 in the direction of FIG. Good. That is, the bracket 51 and the closing member 35 supported on the bracket 51 via the leaf spring 52 are connected to the operating spring 66 via the drive mechanism 41, and the moving force to the closing position shown in FIGS. Will always be received.

  In this case, when the car mechanism 25 is in the door closed end position shown in FIG. 14 where the car door 25 is completely closed, as shown in FIG. 15, the operating pin 59 is an operating member provided on the door panel 25a side. 72 is engaged. For this reason, the drive mechanism 41 is held in the state of FIG. 4 in which the repulsive force of the operating spring 66 is stored. That is, the closing member 35 is held at the retracted position shown in FIGS.

  On the other hand, when the car door 25 is opened and the door panel 25a starts the door opening operation from the door closing end of FIG. 14, the operation member 72 on the car door 25 side is moved to the right side of the figure from the state of FIG. Therefore, the engaging force with the operating member 72 is released. For this reason, each link 46, 47, 48, 49 constituting the drive mechanism 41 is rotated counterclockwise in the figure around the pivot shaft 45 by the repulsive force of the operating spring 66. By the operation of the drive mechanism 41, the bracket 51 and the closing member 35 supported on the bracket 51 via the leaf spring 52 are extended from the state of FIG. 4 to the state of FIG. That is, the closing member 35 slides from the retracted position shown in FIGS. 7 and 8 to the closing position shown in FIG.

On the other hand, when the car door 25 is closed from the fully open state, the door panel 25a closes to the vicinity of the door closing end, whereby the operation member 72 engages with the operation pin 59 on the drive mechanism 41 side as shown in FIG. For this reason, the lever 58 having the operating pin 59 is driven in the clockwise direction in the drawing by the force in the closing direction of the door panel 25a . The closing force of the drive rotation mechanism 41 is a door panel 25a, the closing member 35 which is supported through a leaf spring 52 on a bracket 51 and the bracket 51, and returns from the state of FIG. 5 to the state of FIG. That is, the closing member 35 slides from the closing position shown in FIG. 6 to the retracted position shown in FIGS.

  Thus, the drive mechanism 41 is disengaged from the actuating member 72 when the door opening operation starts from the door closing end of the car door 25. Allow sliding movement. Further, as the car door 25 moves to the door closing end, it engages with the actuating member 72 on the car door 25 side, receives the moving force of the car door 25, and slides the closing member 35 at the closing position to the retracted position. Let

  That is, when the car door 25 starts to open, the closing member 35 immediately moves to the closing position. When the car door 25 is closed, the closing member 35 moves from the closing position to the retracted position immediately before the car door 25 is fully closed. For this reason, even if a passenger or cargo enters and exits while the car door 25 is open or closed, the closing member 35 is in a state of closing the gap between the sills 31 and 32, so that small items may fall from the gap. Can be reliably prevented.

  Note that the engagement portions of the driving mechanism 41 with the operation members 42 and 72 on the car door 25 side, that is, the positions where the operation pins 59 are installed, are the front and rear openings 24 of the car 4 that is opened and closed by the car door 25. Outside.

  In the above-described embodiment, each of the drive mechanisms 41 is configured to mechanically drive by converting the opening / closing force of the door to the moving force of the closing member, but the drive mechanism of the present invention is like this. It is not limited to a mechanical drive mechanism. For example, a drive mechanism that electrically detects that the door has reached a predetermined open or closed position, operates an actuator such as a motor, and moves the closing member may be used.

  In the above embodiment, the drive mechanism 41 slides the closing member 35 from the retracted position to the closing position. However, the present invention has sufficient strength and hardness to withstand the load even when the closing member that closes the gap between the sill on the car side and the landing side is pushed by the heel of a high heel or the tip of an umbrella, etc. When pressing against the side sill side, it is an object to prevent contact sound that hard objects hit each other, and this is, for example, laterally while raising the closing member from the lower retreat position Also, it can be applied to a moving and closing operation. Therefore, the drive mechanism may be configured to move not only by sliding the closing member but also in combination with vertical movement and horizontal movement.
