[0017] A rope gripping device 50 is attached to the second end 14b. The detailed configuration of the rope gripping device 50 will be described later.

[0018] FIG. 2 is a front view showing the second wire stopper device 23 of FIG. 1. FIG. 3 is a side view showing the second wire stopper device 23 of FIG. 2. Note that FIGS. 2 and 3 show the second wire stopper device 23 in a state where the rope gripping device 50 is not attached. The rope gripping device 50 is attached at the position shown by the two-dot chain line in FIG. 3.

[0019] The second wire stopper device 23 has a plurality of wire stopper bodies 24. The number of the plurality of wire stopper bodies 24 is the same as the number of the main ropes 15. In the examples of FIGS. 2 and 3, eight main ropes 15 are used.

[0020] At the lower end of each wire stopper body 24, the corresponding main rope 15 is connected. Each main rope 15 is connected to the second wire stopper beam 21 via the corresponding wire stopper body 24.

[0021] Each wire stopper body 24 has a shackle rod 25, a plurality of nuts 26, a shackle spring 27, a rope shackle 28, and a wedge member 29.

[0022] The shackle rod 25 penetrates the second wire stopper beam 21 in the vertical direction. The plurality of nuts 26 are screwed onto the upper end of the shackle rod 25.

[0023] The shackle spring 27 is provided between the plurality of nuts 26 and the upper surface of the second wire stopper beam 21. A coil spring is used as the shackle spring 27. The shackle rod 25 penetrates the shackle spring 27.

[0024] The rope shackle 28 is connected to the lower end of the shackle rod 25. The wedge member 29 is accommodated in the rope shackle 28.

[0025] The end of each main rope 15 is folded back along the wedge member 29, pulled out from the rope shackle 28, and fixed to the main rope 15 itself. Note that the configuration of the first wire stopper device 22 is the same as that of the second wire stopper device 23.

[0026] FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view taken along line IV-IV of FIG. 1, showing the rope gripping device 50 as seen from directly above. FIG. 5 is a front view showing the rope gripping device 50 of FIG. 4, which is a view of the rope gripping device 50 as seen along arrow V in FIG. 4. FIG. 6 is a side view showing the rope gripping device 50 of FIG. 4, which is a view of the rope gripping device 50 as seen along arrow VI in FIG. 4.

[0027] The rope gripping device 50 has a gripping body 51 and a plurality of spacing members 52. The gripping body 51 is attached to the second end portion 14b by gripping a plurality of main ropes 15. Further, the gripping body 51 has a pair of first gripping members 53, a second gripping member 54, and a plurality of fasteners 55.

[0028] Each first gripping member 53 has a facing portion 53a and a pair of protruding portions 53b. The facing portion 53a faces the second gripping member 54. The pair of protruding portions 53b protrude from both ends of the facing portion 53a toward the second gripping member 54 at a right angle to the facing portion 53a.

[0029] Each first gripping member 53 is formed by bending a flat metal plate into a U shape. That is, each first gripping member 53 is a U-shaped plate member.

[0030] Inside each first gripping member 53, a rope insertion groove 53c is formed. In the rope insertion groove 53c of each first gripping member 53, the portions of the corresponding four main ropes 15 leading to the rope shackle 28 and the portions pulled out from the rope shackle 28 are inserted.

[0031] The second gripping member 54 is formed by bending a flat metal plate into a Z shape. That is, the second gripping member 54 is a Z-shaped plate member. The second gripping member 54 has a flat first attachment portion 54a, a flat second attachment portion 54b, and a flat connecting portion 54c.

[0032] The first attachment portion 54a and the second attachment portion 54b are parallel to each other. The connecting portion 54c connects the lower end of the first attachment portion 54a and the upper end of the second attachment portion 54b. Further, the connecting portion 54c is perpendicular to the first attachment portion 54a and the second attachment portion 54b.

[0033] A corresponding first gripping member 53 is coupled to each of the first attachment portion 54a and the second attachment portion 54b. Also, each of the first attachment portion 54a and the second attachment portion 54b closes the opening of the corresponding rope insertion groove 53c. Thereby, the second gripping member 54 sandwiches eight main ropes 15 between the pair of first gripping members 53.

[0034] A plurality of fasteners 55 fasten the pair of first gripping members 53 to the second gripping member 54. As each fastener 55, a bolt is used. By tightening the plurality of fasteners 55, the plurality of main ropes 15 are sandwiched between the pair of first gripping members 53 and the second gripping member 54. Thereby, the gripping body 51 is attached to the plurality of main ropes 15.

[0035] Each spacing holding member 52 is attached to the gripping body 51 by a corresponding fastener 55. Each fastener 55 passes through the corresponding spacing holding member 52. Also, each spacing holding member 52 is disposed between adjacent main ropes 15 among the plurality of main ropes 15 within the rope insertion groove 53c. Thereby, each spacing holding member 52 holds the spacing between adjacent main ropes 15.

[0036] FIG. 7 is a front view showing the first gripping member 53 of FIG. 4. The opposing portion 53a is provided with a plurality of first through holes 53d and a plurality of positioning holes 53e as a plurality of first positioning portions. A corresponding fastener 55 is passed through each first through hole 53d.

[0037] The plurality of positioning holes 53e are holes for positioning the plurality of spacing holding members 52 with respect to the first gripping member 53.

[0038] In this example, two positioning holes 53e are provided on a straight line that obliquely crosses the center of each first through hole 53d. Each first through hole 53d is provided between the two positioning holes 53e. The positional relationship between the first through hole 53d and the two positioning holes 53e is the same for any first through hole 53d.

[0039] FIG. 8 is a front view showing the spacing member 52 of FIG. 4. FIG. 9 is a plan view showing the spacing member 52 of FIG. 8. FIG. 10 is a side view showing the spacing member 52 of FIG. 8. Each spacing member 52 is made of resin. The front shape of each spacing member 52 is a rectangle with different side lengths of adjacent sides.

[0040] Each spacing member 52 has a holding member body 52a and a pair of claw portions 52b as a second positioning portion. The outer shape of the holding member body 52a is a rectangular parallelepiped. A second through hole 52c is provided in the holding member body 52a. A corresponding fastener 55 is passed through the second through hole 52c.

[0041] The pair of claw portions 52b protrude from the same surface of the holding member body 52a in the same direction. Also, the shape of the pair of claw portions 52b is a snap fit shape.

[0042] When attaching each spacing member 52 to the first gripping member 53, the pair of claw portions 52b are aligned with the corresponding two positioning holes 53e. Then, each spacing member 52 is attached to the first gripping member 53 by inserting the pair of claw portions 52b into the two positioning holes 53e.

[0043] FIG. 11 is a front view showing the second gripping member 54 of FIG. 4. A plurality of screw holes 54d are provided in each of the first attachment portion 54a and the second attachment portion 54b. A corresponding fastener 55 is screwed into each screw hole 54d.

[0044] FIG. 12 is a front view showing an assembly of the first gripping member 53 and the plurality of spacing members 52. FIG. 13 is a plan view showing the assembly of FIG. 12. Such an assembly can be pre-assembled at a factory. As shown in FIG. 13, in the assembly, four accommodation spaces for accommodating the four main ropes 15 are formed by the first gripping member 53 and the three spacing members 52, respectively.

[0045] In this example, each spacing member 52 is attached to the first gripping member 53 in a direction such that a pair of short sides of each spacing member 52 are parallel to the longitudinal direction of the first gripping member 53 when viewed from the front.

[0046] For example, when attaching the rope gripping device 50 to the second end portion 14b during the installation work of an elevator, the four main ropes 15 are sandwiched between the pre-assembled assembly and the first attachment portion 54a. Then, each fastener 55 is inserted into the first through-hole 53d and the second through-hole 52c, and screwed into the corresponding screw hole 54d to attach the assembly to the first attachment portion 54a.

[0047] Also, the remaining four main ropes 15 are sandwiched between another assembly and the second attachment portion 54b. Then, in the same manner as above, the assembly is attached to the second attachment portion 54b.

[0048] FIG. 14 is a plan view showing a rope gripping device 50 used in an elevator of a different specification from that of FIG. 6. FIG. 15 is a front view showing the first gripping member 53 of FIG. 14. FIG. 16 is a front view showing an assembly of the first gripping member 53 and the plurality of spacing members 52 of FIG. 14. FIG. 17 is a plan view showing the assembly of FIG. 16.

[0049] In this elevator, the car 16 and the counterweight 17 are suspended by six main ropes 15. The six main ropes 15 are aligned in two rows of three each. For this reason, in FIG. 14, two spacing members 52 are arranged on one side of the second gripping member 54, and two spacing members 52 are arranged on the other side of the second gripping member 54. The diameter of each main rope 15 is larger than the diameter of the main rope 15 shown in FIG. 4.

[0050] Since the number of main ropes 15 is small, the sizes of the first gripping member 53 and the second gripping member 54 are smaller than the sizes of the first gripping member 53 in FIG. 7 and the second gripping member 54 in FIG. 11, respectively. As each interval holding member 52, the same interval holding member 52 as the interval holding member 52 shown in FIGS. 8 to 10 is used.

[0051] However, as shown in FIG. 16, each interval holding member 52 is attached to the first gripping member 53 in a direction in which a pair of long sides of each interval holding member 52 are parallel to the longitudinal direction of the first gripping member 53 when viewed from the front. That is, each interval holding member 52 is attached to the first gripping member 53 in a direction rotated by 90° as compared with FIG. 12.

[0052] Also, in order to correspond to the diameter of each main rope 15, a spacer 56 is sandwiched between each interval holding member 52 and the second gripping member 54. As each spacer 56, for example, a washer can be used.

[0053] In the assembly of FIG. 16, three accommodation spaces for accommodating the three main ropes 15 are formed by the first gripping member 53 and the two interval holding members 52. The width dimension of each accommodation space is larger than the width dimension of the accommodation space in FIG. 12. Also, the interval between adjacent accommodation spaces is larger than the interval in FIG. 12.

[0054] In such a rope gripping device 50 of Embodiment 1, an interval holding member 52 is interposed between adjacent main ropes 15 among the plurality of main ropes 15. For this reason, the interval between adjacent main ropes 15 is held at a specified interval. Thereby, the inclination of the shackle rod 25 accompanying the elevation of the cage 16 and the rotation of the rope shackle 28 due to the elongation of each main rope 15 can be suppressed, and the generation of noise due to the contact between the rope shackles 28 can be suppressed.

[0055] In addition, a plurality of spacing members 52 are formed as separate members from the gripping body 51. The first gripping member 53 is provided with a plurality of positioning holes 53e. Each spacing member 52 is provided with a pair of claw portions 52b.

[0056] Therefore, for elevators with different numbers of main ropes 15, it is possible to easily respond by changing the size of the gripping body 51, the number of spacing members 52, etc. That is, it is possible to easily respond to differences in rope spacing and rope diameter for each elevator. Thereby, the productivity in the manufacture of multi-variety, small-quantity elevators can be improved.

[0057] In addition, by using resin-molded products as the respective spacing members 52, it is possible to reduce the cost required for the mold as compared with the case where the gripping body 51 and the plurality of spacing members 52 are integrally formed. Also, the production volume of the rope gripping device 50 required for the amortization of the mold can be reduced. Thereby, even in the rope gripping device 50 with a small production volume, it is possible to proceed with the switch from machined parts to resin-molded products, and cost reduction can be achieved.

[0058] Each first gripping member 53 is a U-shaped member. Therefore, sufficient strength can be ensured by each first gripping member 53, and the overall size can be reduced.

[0059] Each first gripping member 53 is formed by bending a flat metal plate into a U-shape. Therefore, the strength of the gripping body 51 can be further improved. Also, even in the case of multi-variety, small-quantity production, each first gripping member 53 can be easily manufactured, and cost reduction can be achieved.

[0060] Each spacing member 52 is attached to the first gripping member 53 by inserting a pair of claw portions 52b into the positioning holes 53e respectively. Therefore, the positioning of each spacing member 52 with respect to the first gripping member 53 can be facilitated. Also, at the installation site, each spacing member 52 does not fall off from the first gripping member 53, and the installation workability can be improved.

[0061] In addition, the front shape of each spacing member 52 is rectangular. Therefore, by changing the orientation of attaching the spacing member 52 to the first gripping member 53, it is possible to use the same spacing member 52 to accommodate differences in the rope spacing and rope diameter.

[0062] Also, as shown in FIGS. 7 and 15, by changing the arrangement of the positioning holes 53e according to the specifications of the elevator, the mounting angle of each spacing member 52 with respect to the first gripping member 53 can be ensured to be correct.

[0063] In addition, since the specifications of the rope gripping device 50 that can be manufactured by one resin molding die increase, the amortization period of the die can be shortened.

[0064] Also, a spacer 56 is sandwiched between each spacing member 52 and the second gripping member 54. Therefore, using the same spacing member 52, the distance between the first gripping member 53 and the second gripping member 54 can be changed, and it is possible to easily accommodate a plurality of main ropes 15 having different diameters.

[0065] In addition, metal is used as the material for each of the first gripping member 53 and the second gripping member 54, and resin is used as the material for each spacing member 52. Therefore, while ensuring sufficient strength with each of the first gripping member 53 and the second gripping member 54 to grip a plurality of main ropes 15, the degree of freedom in manufacturing each spacing member 52 can be improved. Accordingly, as a whole rope gripping device 50, it is possible to facilitate manufacturing while suppressing a decrease in durability.

[0066] Also, the second gripping member 54 is a Z-shaped plate member. Therefore, one first gripping member 53 and the other first gripping member 53 can be arranged at different positions in the height direction.

[0067] Note that, as shown in FIG. 18, the second gripping member 54 may be a U-shaped plate member. In this case, one first gripping member 53 and the other first gripping member 53 can be arranged at the same position in the height direction.

[0068] Further, the spacer 56 may be sandwiched between each spacing holding member 52 and the first gripping member 53, or may be sandwiched between each spacing holding member 52 and both the first gripping member 53 and the second gripping member 54, respectively.

[0069] Further, the front shape of the spacing holding member 52 is not limited to a rectangle, and may be a convex polygon having six or more vertices. For example, the front shape of the spacing holding member 52 may be a hexagon as shown in FIG. 19. In the shape of FIG. 19, the two pairs of opposite sides facing each other are all parallel to each other. Also, the distances between the two pairs of opposite sides facing each other are all different. Thereby, it is possible to correspond to three or more types of main ropes 15 having different diameters.

[0070] Further, the second positioning portion is not limited to the claw portion 52b, and may be, for example, a recess 52d as shown in FIG. 20. In this case, by aligning the recess 52d with the positioning hole 53e, applying the tip of the fixture 57 to the recess through the positioning hole 53e, and screwing the fixture 57 into the spacing holding member 52, each spacing holding member 52 can be attached to the first gripping member 53. As the fixture 57, for example, a drill screw can be used. Also with such a configuration, the installation workability can be improved.

[0071] Further, the shape of the first gripping member 53 is not limited to a U-shape, and may be, for example, a flat plate as shown in FIG. 21. Thereby, the manufacture of the first gripping member 53 can be facilitated.

[0072] Also, the second gripping member 54 in Embodiment 1 may be used as the first gripping member, and the first gripping member 53 may be used as the second gripping member. That is, a configuration may be adopted in which a plurality of spacing holding members 52 are attached to the second gripping member 54 in Embodiment 1 in advance.

[0073] In addition, in the first embodiment, the case where the number of main ropes 15 is eight or six has been shown. However, the number of main ropes 15 is not particularly limited, and any number may be used as long as it is three or more. Even when the number of main ropes 15 is other than eight or six, it can be easily dealt with by changing the number of holes through which the fastener 55 passes, the number of the interval holding members 52, and the like.

[0074] In addition, in the first embodiment, a pair of first gripping members 53 are used. However, the number of the first gripping members 53 may be only one. That is, in FIG. 3, eight main ropes 15 are aligned in two rows. However, three or more main ropes 15 may be aligned in one row.

[0075] In addition, in the first embodiment, the rope gripping device 50 may be installed at the first end portion 14a of the suspension body 14 or may be installed at both the first end portion 14a and the second end portion 14b.

[0076] In addition, the layout of the entire elevator is not limited to the layout of FIG. 1. For example, the roping method may be a 1:1 roping method.

[0077] In addition, the elevator may be an elevator having a machine room, a machine-roomless elevator, a double-deck elevator, a one-shaft multi-car type elevator, or the like. The one-shaft multi-car type is a method in which an upper car and a lower car arranged directly below the upper car move up and down in a common hoistway independently.

[0078] As described above, the preferred embodiments and the like have been described in detail. However, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments and the like, and various modifications and substitutions can be made to the above-described embodiments and the like without departing from the scope described in the claims.
