Problems solved by technology

[0004] However, in conventional elevators, since the temperature detector is used to measure the temperature of the motor, it is impossible to detect the overload operation of the elevator when the temperature detector fails, and it may not be possible to switch the operation mode.

no. 1 Embodiment approach

[0020] figure 1 It is a configuration diagram showing the elevator apparatus according to the first embodiment of the present invention. In the drawing, a car 2 and a counterweight 3 are provided in a hoistway 1 so as to be able to move up and down. A hoist (drive unit) 4 for raising and lowering the car 2 and the counterweight 3 and a deflector pulley (driven pulley) 5 disposed near the hoist 4 are provided on the upper portion of the hoistway 1 . The hoist 4 has a motor 6 and a drive pulley 7 rotated by the motor 6 . A plurality of main ropes 8 are wound around the drive pulley 7 and the deflector pulley 5 . The car 2 and the counterweight 3 move up and down in the hoistway 1 by driving the rotation of the pulley 7 . The deflector pulley 5 is rotated by lifting the car 2 and the counterweight 3 .

Abstract

The present invention provides an elevator apparatus which comprises: an elevator-constituting component operated when the elevator is in operation, a detector for measuring a variation in a physical quantity, different from temperature, of the elevator-constituting component, and a controller for controlling operation of the elevator based on information from the detector. The elevator-constituting component is, for example, a hoist for moving an elevator car. The hoist has a motor and a drive sheave rotated by the motor. The detector measures strain of a frame of the motor as a physical quantity different from temperature. The controller determines, based on the strain of the motor frame, whether the operation of the elevator has an abnormality and controls the operation of the elevator. By the construction, whether the elevator operation has an abnormality is easily and reliably determined without directly measuring the temperature of the motor (6).

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an elevator device in which a car is lifted and lowered in a hoistway. Background technique [0002] Conventionally, an elevator has been proposed in which, when the temperature of a motor for moving a car exceeds a set threshold value, the operation is switched to an operation in which the electric load of the elevator is reduced. The temperature of the motor is measured by a temperature detector. Thereby, even when the temperature of the electric motor rises due to overload operation, it is possible to prevent the temperature from exceeding the allowable limit temperature of the electric motor, and it is possible to prevent the stop of the operation of the elevator. Therefore, the improvement of the operation service of an elevator can be aimed at (refer patent document 1). [0003] Patent Document 1: Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2002-3091 [0004] However, in conventional elevators, since the temperature detector is used...
