Elevator equipment

Technical field

The present invention relates to a 3: 1 rowing-type traction elevator system in which an elevator car and a counterweight are suspended by a main rope.

Background art

[0002] In recent years, in order to use a building as efficiently as possible, an elevator device has a vertical projection area of a machine room installed above a hoistway approximately equal to a vertical projection area of a hoistway. The equipment installed in the room is placed in the hoistway to eliminate the need for the machine room, thereby saving space. However, the space saving of the elevator system places great restrictions on the layout and installation position of the equipment used, so it is not possible to increase the driving torque by installing a large hoisting machine. It has been difficult to increase the capacity of a personal computer.

[0003] On the other hand, in order to cope with an increase in the capacity of an elevator device, in addition to a method of increasing the driving torque of a hoist, a roping method of a main rope for suspending an elevator car and a counterweight is used. What can be realized is also conceivable. For example, a traction sheave elevator disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2000-153975 discloses a traction-type elevator device in which a force and a counterweight are suspended by a 4: 1 roving method. When suspending the force ^ and the counterweight by the 4: 1 roping method, the driving torque required for the hoisting machine is, for example, 1/4 for the 1: 1 roving method, and 2: 1 for the roving method. Since it can be reduced to 1Z2, it is possible to realize a large-capacity elevator system without installing a large hoist. However, in the 4: 1 roving method, the moving distance of the main rope becomes much longer than the moving distance of the power and the car, and the number of hanging and returning vehicles that fold the main rope increases. There has been a problem that the arrangement becomes very complicated.

[0004] It is an object of the present invention to provide a traction-type elevator apparatus capable of coping with a large-capacity elevator in a space-saving elevator apparatus by reducing the size of the winding machine and simplifying the configuration. To provide. Patent Document 1: Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2000-153975
