[0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 58-87763 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] However, in the conventional elevator disclosed in Patent Document 1, the U-shaped mounting bracket is a single member. This limits the options for the position of the rail bracket to be fixed to the mounting bracket. This may make it difficult to adjust the position of the rail bracket according to the layout of the car, making it difficult to reduce the space in the elevator shaft.

[0005] The present disclosure is devised to solve the above-mentioned problems, and aims to provide an elevator rail mounting device and an elevator rail mounting method that can save space in a hoistway. [Means for solving the problem]

FIG. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0009] The embodiments for carrying out the subject of the present disclosure will be described with reference to the attached drawings. In each drawing, the same or corresponding parts are given the same reference numerals, and duplicated descriptions are appropriately simplified or omitted. Note that the subject of the present disclosure is not limited to the following embodiments, and any component of the embodiment may be modified or omitted within the scope of the gist of the present disclosure.

[0010] Embodiment 1 Fig. 1 is a top view showing an elevator rail mounting device according to embodiment 1. Fig. 2 is a cross-sectional view taken along line II-II in Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a cross-sectional view taken along line III-III in Fig. 1. Fig. 4 is a perspective view showing the elevator rail mounting device of Fig. 1. The walls of the hoistway 1 are formed with a front wall surface (not shown), a rear wall surface 11, a left wall surface 12, and a right wall surface (not shown). When viewed from above, the hoistway 1 is surrounded by the front wall surface, the rear wall surface 11, the left wall surface 12, and the right wall surface.

[0011] The left wall surface 12 and the right wall surface face each other in the width direction of the hoistway 1. The width direction of the hoistway 1 coincides with the left-right direction when the hoistway 1 is viewed from the landing of each floor. The front wall surface and the rear wall surface 11 face each other in the depth direction of the hoistway 1. The depth direction of the hoistway 1 coincides with the horizontal direction perpendicular to the width direction of the hoistway 1.

[0012] At the landing of each floor, a landing entrance (not shown) penetrating the front wall surface is formed in the wall of the elevator shaft 1. At each floor, the elevator shaft 1 is opened to the landing through the landing entrance. Each landing entrance can be opened and closed by a landing door (not shown). In this embodiment, when the landing entrance is viewed from the landing of each floor, the wall surface located to the left of the landing entrance is the left wall surface 12, and the wall surface located to the right of the landing entrance is the right wall surface. Also, in this embodiment, when the landing entrance is viewed from the landing of each floor, the rear wall surface is located further back than the front wall surface.

[0013] The plane including the left wall surface 12 intersects with each of the two planes including the front wall surface and the rear wall surface 11 individually. The plane including the right wall surface also intersects with each of the two planes including the front wall surface and the rear wall surface 11 individually. In this embodiment, when the elevator shaft 1 is viewed from above, the left wall surface 12 and the right wall surface are each perpendicular to the front wall surface and the rear wall surface 11, respectively. As a result, in this embodiment, the shape of the elevator shaft 1 when viewed from above is rectangular with corners formed at each of the four corners.

[0014] 1, a car 13 and a counterweight 14 are provided in the hoistway 1 as a lifting body capable of moving up and down. In this embodiment, when the hoistway 1 is viewed from above, the counterweight 14 is located next to the car 13 in the width direction of the hoistway 1. The counterweight 14 is located closer to the left wall surface 12 than the car 13.

[0015] In the hoistway 1, a pair of car guide rails and a pair of counterweight guide rails 2 (not shown) are respectively arranged along the vertical direction. Each car guide rail is a guide rail that guides a car 13. Each counterweight guide rail 2 is a guide rail that guides a counterweight 14. In this embodiment, the pair of car guide rails face each other in the width direction of the hoistway 1 via the car 13, and the pair of counterweight guide rails 2 face each other in the depth direction of the hoistway 1 via the counterweight 14. The configuration of the car guide rails is similar to that of the counterweight guide rails 2.

[0016] Of the pair of counterweight guide rails 2 , one counterweight guide rail 2 located near the rear wall surface 11 is attached to the wall of the hoistway 1 via a rail attachment device 3 .

[0017] The counterweight guide rail 2 has a flange portion 21 and a guide portion 22. The flange portion 21 is a plate-shaped portion arranged along the up-down direction. The guide portion 22 is provided on the flange portion 21 along the longitudinal direction of the flange portion 21. When the counterweight guide rail 2 is viewed along the longitudinal direction of the counterweight guide rail 2, the guide portion 22 protrudes from the middle portion of the flange portion 21. This results in a T-shaped cross section of the counterweight guide rail 2. One of the counterweight guide rails 2 attached to the wall of the hoistway 1 by the rail attachment device 3 is arranged with the back surface of the flange portion 21 facing the rear wall surface 11.

[0018] The rail mounting device 3 is disposed at a corner formed between a rear wall surface 11 and a left wall surface 12 in the hoistway 1. A horizontal external force acting on the counterweight guide rail 2 is supported by the rear wall surface 11 and the left wall surface 12 via the rail mounting device 3.

[0019] The rail mounting device 3 has a main body bracket 4, a main body fastener 5, a support bracket 6, a support fastener 7, and a rail bracket 8. In this embodiment, a first wall surface to which the main body bracket 4 is fixed is a rear wall surface 11, and a second wall surface to which the support bracket 6 is fixed is a left wall surface 12. The main body bracket 4, the support bracket 6, and the rail bracket 8 are separate members.

[0020] Here, Fig. 5 is a perspective view showing the main body bracket 4 of Fig. 4. The main body bracket 4 has a main body base portion 41 and a main body protruding portion .

[0021] The main body base portion 41 is a plate-like portion disposed along the longitudinal direction of the main body bracket 4. The main body base portion 41 is provided with a main body fixing hole 43. The main body fixing hole 43 penetrates the main body base portion 41. In this embodiment, the main body bracket 4 has one main body fixing hole 43, which is a circular hole.

[0022] The main body protrusion 42 is a plate-like portion provided on the edge of the main body base portion 41. The main body protrusion 42 is arranged along the longitudinal direction of the main body bracket 4. When the main body bracket 4 is viewed along the longitudinal direction of the main body bracket 4, the main body protrusion 42 protrudes from the edge of the main body base portion 41 in a direction intersecting with the main body base portion 41. As a result, when the main body bracket 4 is viewed along the longitudinal direction of the main body bracket 4, the main body bracket 4 has an L-shape formed by the main body base portion 41 and the main body protrusion 42.

[0023] As shown in Fig. 1, the main body bracket 4 is disposed in the space between the back surface of the counterweight guide rail 2 and the rear wall surface 11. As shown in Figs. 2 and 3, the main body bracket 4 is disposed with the main body base portion 41 overlapping the rear wall surface 11. The main body bracket 4 is also disposed with the main body protruding portion 42 protruding from the upper portion of the main body base portion 41 toward the opposite side to the rear wall surface 11.

[0024] The main body bracket 4 is disposed so that the longitudinal direction of the main body bracket 4 coincides with the horizontal direction along the rear wall surface 11. Therefore, in this embodiment, the longitudinal direction of the main body bracket 4 coincides with the width direction of the elevator shaft 1. Also, in this embodiment, the main body protrusion 42 is disposed horizontally.

[0025] The body fixing device 5 fixes the body bracket 4 to the rear wall surface 11. In this embodiment, the number of body fixing devices 5 that fix the body bracket 4 to the rear wall surface 11 is one. The body fixing device 5 has a body anchor bolt 51 and a body fixing nut 52.

[0026] The main body anchor bolt 51 is fixed to the rear wall surface 11 by being driven into a pilot hole (not shown) provided in the wall on which the rear wall surface 11 is formed. The main body anchor bolt 51 is passed through a main body fixing hole 43 provided in the main body base portion 41. The main body fixing device 5 fixes the main body bracket 4 to the rear wall surface 11 with the main body anchor bolt 51 passed through the main body fixing hole 43.

[0027] The main body fixing nut 52 is screwed into the main body anchor bolt 51. A part of the main body base portion 41 is sandwiched between the rear wall surface 11 and the main body fixing nut 52. The main body fixing device 5 fixes the main body bracket 4 to the rear wall surface 11 by tightening the main body fixing nut 52 to press the main body base portion 41 against the rear wall surface 11.

[0028] Fig. 6 is a perspective view showing the support bracket 6 of Fig. 4. The support bracket 6 has a support base portion 61 and a support protrusion portion 62.

[0029] The support base portion 61 is a plate-like portion disposed along the longitudinal direction of the support bracket 6. The support base portion 61 is provided with a support fixing hole 63. The support fixing hole 63 penetrates the support base portion 61. In this embodiment, the support bracket 6 has one support fixing hole 63, which is a circular hole.

[0030] The support overhang 62 is a plate-like portion provided on the edge of the support base portion 61. The support overhang 62 is disposed along the longitudinal direction of the support bracket 6. When the support bracket 6 is viewed along the longitudinal direction of the support bracket 6, the support overhang 62 protrudes from the edge of the support base portion 61 in a direction intersecting the support base portion 61. As a result, when the support bracket 6 is viewed along the longitudinal direction of the support bracket 6, the support base portion 61 and the support overhang 62 form an L-shape.

[0031] As shown in Fig. 1, the support bracket 6 is disposed in the space between the counterweight guide rail 2 and the left wall surface 12. As shown in Fig. 2 and Fig. 3, the support bracket 6 is disposed with the support base portion 61 overlapping the left wall surface 12. The support bracket 6 is also disposed with the support overhang portion 62 protruding from an upper portion of the support base portion 61 toward the opposite side to the left wall surface 12.

[0032] The support bracket 6 is disposed so that the longitudinal direction of the support bracket 6 coincides with the horizontal direction along the left wall surface 12. Therefore, in this embodiment, the longitudinal direction of the support bracket 6 coincides with the depth direction of the elevator shaft 1. Also, in this embodiment, the support overhang 62 is disposed horizontally.

[0033] The support fixture 7 fixes the support bracket 6 to the left wall surface 12. In this embodiment, the number of support fixtures 7 that fix the support bracket 6 to the left wall surface 12 is one. The support fixture 7 has a support anchor bolt 71 and a support fixing nut 72.

[0034] The support anchor bolt 71 is fixed to the left wall surface 12 by being driven into a pilot hole (not shown) provided in the wall on which the left wall surface 12 is formed. The support anchor bolt 71 is passed through a support fixing hole 63 provided in the support base portion 61. The support fixture 7 fixes the support bracket 6 to the left wall surface 12 with the support anchor bolt 71 passed through the support fixing hole 63.

[0035] The support fixing nut 72 is screwed into the support anchor bolt 71. A part of the support base portion 61 is sandwiched between the left wall surface 12 and the support fixing nut 72. The support fixture 7 fixes the support bracket 6 to the left wall surface 12 by tightening the support fixing nut 72 to press the support base portion 61 against the left wall surface 12.

[0036] A portion of the support overhang portion 62 overlaps with the main body overhang portion 42. In this embodiment, a portion of the support overhang portion 62 overlaps with the underside of the main body overhang portion 42. The support overhang portion 62 is fixed to the main body overhang portion 42 at the portion where it overlaps with the main body overhang portion 42. In this embodiment, the support overhang portion 62 is fixed to the main body overhang portion 42 by welding. In this way, the support bracket 6 is fixed to the main body bracket 4.

[0037] The rail bracket 8 is fixed to the main body bracket 4. The rail bracket 8 is attached to the counterweight guide rail 2 by a holder 10.

[0038] Fig. 7 is a perspective view showing the rail bracket 8 of Fig. 4. The rail bracket 8 has a fixed base portion 81 and a rail mounting portion 82. The fixed base portion 81 is a plate-shaped portion disposed along the longitudinal direction of the rail bracket 8.

[0039] The rail mounting portion 82 is a plate-like portion provided on an edge of the fixed base portion 81. The rail mounting portion 82 is disposed along the longitudinal direction of the rail bracket 8. When the rail bracket 8 is viewed along the longitudinal direction of the rail bracket 8, the rail mounting portion 82 protrudes from the edge of the fixed base portion 81 in a direction intersecting with the fixed base portion 81. As a result, when the rail bracket 8 is viewed along the longitudinal direction of the rail bracket 8, the shape of the rail bracket 8 is L-shaped due to the fixed base portion 81 and the rail mounting portion 82.

[0040] The rail mounting portion 82 is provided with a pair of rail mounting holes 83. Each rail mounting hole 83 penetrates the rail mounting portion 82. The pair of rail mounting holes 83 are spaced apart from each other in the longitudinal direction of the rail bracket 8. In this embodiment, the center position between the pair of rail mounting holes 83 in the longitudinal direction of the rail bracket 8 coincides with the center position between both ends of the rail bracket 8 in the longitudinal direction of the rail bracket 8. Each rail mounting hole 83 is an elongated hole. The longitudinal direction of each rail mounting hole 83 coincides with the longitudinal direction of the rail bracket 8.

[0041] 3 and 4, the rail bracket 8 is disposed with a portion of the fixed base portion 81 overlapping the main body protruding portion 42. As a result, the fixed base portion 81 is disposed horizontally. In this embodiment, a portion of the fixed base portion 81 overlaps the upper surface of the main body protruding portion 42.

[0042] The rail bracket 8 is disposed with the rail mounting portion 82 positioned closer to the counterweight guide rail 2 than the fixed base portion 81. The rail bracket 8 is disposed with the rail mounting portion 82 protruding upward from the edge of the fixed base portion 81. The rail bracket 8 is disposed with the rail mounting portion 82 overlapping the back surface of the counterweight guide rail 2.

[0043] The fixed base portion 81 is fixed to the main body protruding portion 42. In the present embodiment, the fixed base portion 81 is fixed to the main body protruding portion 42 by welding. In this way, the rail bracket 8 is fixed to the main body bracket 4.

[0044] The retainer 10 has a pair of rail clips 101 and a pair of fasteners 102. Each rail clip 101 is individually attached to the rail mounting portion 82 by each fastener 102. Each fastener 102 has a bolt passed through the rail mounting hole 83 and a nut screwed into the bolt. The position of each fastener 102 relative to the rail mounting portion 82 is adjustable in the longitudinal direction of the rail bracket 8.

[0045] The flange portion 21 of the counterweight guide rail 2 is sandwiched between each rail clip 101 and the rail mounting portion 82. Each rail clip 101 presses the flange portion 21 of the counterweight guide rail 2 against the rail mounting portion 82 by the tightening force of each fastener 102. In this way, the holder 10 attaches the rail bracket 8 to the counterweight guide rail 2.

[0046] Next, a rail mounting method for mounting the counterweight guide rail 2 to the wall of the hoistway 1 by the rail mounting device 3 will be described. Fig. 8 is a flow chart showing the rail mounting method for an elevator by the rail mounting device 3 of Fig. 1. The rail mounting method includes a main body bracket fixing step S1, a support bracket fixing step S2, an inter-bracket fixing step S3, a rail mounting step S4, and a rail bracket fixing step S5. When mounting the counterweight guide rail 2 to the wall of the hoistway 1, first, the counterweight guide rail 2 is placed at a predetermined position in the hoistway 1. Thereafter, each step is carried out in the order of the main body bracket fixing step S1, the support bracket fixing step S2, the inter-bracket fixing step S3, the rail mounting step S4, and the rail bracket fixing step S5.

[0047] <Main body bracket fixing process S1> In the main body bracket fixing step S1, the main body bracket 4 is fixed to the rear wall surface 11 by the main body fixing tool 5.

[0048] In the main body bracket fixing process S1, the horizontal position of the main body bracket 4 relative to the counterweight guide rail 2 is adjusted based on the position of the counterweight guide rail 2. At this time, the position of the main body bracket 4 relative to the counterweight guide rail 2 is adjusted along the rear wall surface 11. As a result, the position of the main body fixing hole 43 is adjusted to a position offset in the width direction of the hoistway 1 from the position of the counterweight guide rail 2, as shown in FIG.

[0049] In the main body bracket fixing step S1, the position of the main body bracket 4 relative to the counterweight guide rail 2 is adjusted, and then the main body bracket 4 is fixed to the rear wall surface 11 by the main body fixing tool 5.

[0050] When fixing the main body bracket 4 to the rear wall surface 11 by the main body fixing device 5, a pilot hole is drilled in the wall on which the rear wall surface 11 is formed by a drill tool. The position of the pilot hole drilled in the rear wall surface 11 is made to coincide with the position where the main body fixing hole 43 overlaps. Thereafter, the main body anchor bolt 51 is driven into the pilot hole in the rear wall surface 11 to fix the main body anchor bolt 51 to the rear wall surface 11. Thereafter, the main body anchor bolt 51 is inserted into the main body fixing hole 43 to overlap the main body base part 41 of the main body bracket 4 with the rear wall surface 11. Thereafter, the main body fixing nut 52 is screwed into the main body anchor bolt 51 and the main body fixing nut 52 is tightened to fix the main body bracket 4 to the rear wall surface 11.

[0051] <Support bracket fixing process S2> After the main body bracket fixing step S1, a support bracket fixing step S2 is performed. In the support bracket fixing step S2, the support bracket 6 is fixed to the left wall surface 12 by the support fixture 7.

[0052] In the support bracket fixing process S2, the position of the support bracket 6 relative to the main body bracket 4 is adjusted based on the position of the main body bracket 4. The adjustment of the position of the support bracket 6 relative to the main body bracket 4 is performed along the left wall surface 12 so that the support overhang portion 62 overlaps the main body overhang portion 42.

[0053] In the support bracket fixing step S2, after the position of the support bracket 6 relative to the main body bracket 4 is adjusted, the support bracket 6 is fixed to the left wall surface 12 by the support fixture 7.

[0054] When the support bracket 6 is fixed to the left wall surface 12 by the support fastener 7, a pilot hole is drilled in the wall on which the left wall surface 12 is formed using a drill tool. The position of the pilot hole drilled in the left wall surface 12 is made to coincide with the position where the support fastening hole 63 overlaps. Thereafter, the support anchor bolt 71 is driven into the pilot hole in the left wall surface 12 to fix the support anchor bolt 71 to the left wall surface 12. Thereafter, the support anchor bolt 71 is inserted into the support fastening hole 63 to overlap the support base portion 61 of the support bracket 6 with the left wall surface 12. Thereafter, the support fastening nut 72 is screwed into the support anchor bolt 71 and then tightened to fix the support bracket 6 to the left wall surface 12.

[0055] <Inter-bracket fixing process S3> After the main body bracket fixing step S1 and the support bracket fixing step S2, an inter-bracket fixing step S3 is performed. In the inter-bracket fixing step S3, the support bracket 6 is fixed to the main body bracket 4.

[0056] In the inter-bracket fixing process S3, the support overhang portion 62 is fixed to the main body overhang portion 42 in a state in which the support overhang portion 62 overlaps the main body overhang portion 42. In this embodiment, the support overhang portion 62 is fixed to the main body overhang portion 42 by welding. As a result, the support bracket 6 is integrated with the main body bracket 4.

[0057] <Rail installation process S4> After the inter-bracket fixing step S3, a rail mounting step S4 is performed. In the rail mounting step S4, the rail bracket 8 is mounted on the counterweight guide rail 2.

[0058] In the rail mounting process S4, the rail mounting portion 82 is attached to the counterweight guide rail 2 by the holder 10 with the rail mounting portion 82 overlapping the back surface of the counterweight guide rail 2. In this embodiment, the rail bracket 8 is attached to the counterweight guide rail 2 in a state where the rail bracket 8 is not fixed to the main body bracket 4.

[0059] <Rail bracket fixing process S5> After the rail mounting step S4, a rail bracket fixing step S5 is performed. In the rail bracket fixing step S5, the rail bracket 8 is fixed to the main body bracket 4.

[0060] In the rail bracket fixing process S5, the fixed base portion 81 of the rail bracket 8 is fixed by welding to the main body protruding portion 42 of the main body bracket 4. In this manner, the counterweight guide rail 2 is attached to the wall of the hoistway 1 by the rail mounting device 3.

[0061] In such a rail mounting device 3, the main body bracket 4 and the support bracket 6 are separate members. The first wall surface to which the main body fixing device 5 fixes the main body bracket 4 is the rear wall surface 11. The second wall surface to which the support fixing device 7 fixes the support bracket 6 is the left wall surface 12. The plane including the rear wall surface 11 and the plane including the left wall surface 12 intersect with each other. Therefore, the positional relationship between the main body bracket 4 and the support bracket 6 can be adjusted according to the layout of the car 13 and the counterweight 14, and the degree of freedom to adjust the positions of at least one of the main body bracket 4 and the support bracket 6 relative to the rear wall surface 11 and the left wall surface 12 can be increased. As a result, for example, the position of the support bracket 6 can be adjusted to a position that does not interfere with the counterweight 14, and the dimension of the counterweight 14 can be expanded in a direction approaching the left wall surface 12. Therefore, the space of the elevator 1 can be saved.

[0062] In addition, the support bracket 6 is fixed to the main body bracket 4. Therefore, the horizontal external force received by the counterweight guide rail 2 can be more reliably transmitted to each of the rear wall surface 11 and the left wall surface 12. This allows the rail mounting device 3 to stably support the counterweight guide rail 2.

[0063] Furthermore, in such a rail mounting method, after the main body bracket fixing step S1 and the support bracket fixing step S2, an inter-bracket fixing step S3 is performed in which the support bracket 6 is fixed to the main body bracket 4. This eliminates the need to handle the main body bracket 4 and the support bracket 6 as a single unit, and the positional relationship between the main body bracket 4 and the support bracket 6 can be adjusted according to the layout of the car 13 and the counterweight 14. This allows, for example, the position of the support bracket 6 to be adjusted to a position where it does not interfere with the counterweight 14. This allows the space in the hoistway 1 to be saved.

[0064] Embodiment 2 Fig. 9 is a top view showing an elevator rail mounting device according to embodiment 2. Fig. 10 is a cross-sectional view taken along line XX in Fig. 9. Fig. 11 is a cross-sectional view taken along line XI-XI in Fig. 9. Fig. 12 is a perspective view showing the elevator rail mounting device of Fig. 9. The rail mounting device 3 has a coupling device 9 in addition to a main body bracket 4, a main body fixing device 5, a support bracket 6, a support fixing device 7 and a rail bracket 8.

[0065] Fig. 13 is a perspective view showing the main body bracket 4 of Fig. 12. The main body fixing hole 43 provided in the main body base portion 41 is an elongated hole. The longitudinal direction of the main body fixing hole 43 coincides with the longitudinal direction of the main body bracket 4.

[0066] A main body connecting hole 44 is provided in the main body protruding portion 42 of the main body bracket 4. The main body connecting hole 44 penetrates the main body protruding portion 42. In this embodiment, the main body connecting hole 44 is an elongated hole. The longitudinal direction of the main body connecting hole 44 coincides with a direction intersecting the longitudinal direction of the main body fixing hole 43. In this embodiment, the longitudinal direction of the main body connecting hole 44 coincides with a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the main body fixing hole 43.

[0067] As shown in Figs. 9 and 10, the main body bracket 4 is arranged with the longitudinal direction of the main body fixing hole 43 coinciding with the horizontal direction along the rear wall surface 11. Therefore, when the main body bracket 4 is arranged with the main body base portion 41 overlapping the rear wall surface 11, the longitudinal direction of the main body fixing hole 43 coincides with the width direction of the hoistway 1. As a result, the longitudinal direction of the main body connecting hole 44 coincides with the horizontal direction intersecting the rear wall surface 11. In this embodiment, the longitudinal direction of the main body connecting hole 44 coincides with the depth direction of the hoistway 1, as shown in Fig. 9. Other configurations of the main body bracket 4 are the same as those in the first embodiment.

[0068] The main body fixing device 5 fixes the main body bracket 4 to the rear wall surface 11 with the main body anchor bolt 51 passing through the main body fixing hole 43. The horizontal position of the main body bracket 4 relative to the main body anchor bolt 51 is adjustable along the rear wall surface 11 within the longitudinal dimensional range of the main body fixing hole 43. Therefore, the position of the main body bracket 4 is adjustable relative to the support bracket 6 in the longitudinal direction of the main body fixing hole 43, i.e., in the width direction of the hoistway 1.

[0069] Fig. 14 is a perspective view showing the support bracket 6 of Fig. 12. The support fixing hole 63 provided in the support base portion 61 is an elongated hole. The longitudinal direction of the support fixing hole 63 coincides with a direction intersecting the longitudinal direction of the support bracket 6. In this embodiment, the longitudinal direction of the support fixing hole 63 coincides with a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the support bracket 6.

[0070] A support connection hole 64 is provided in the support overhang 62 of the support bracket 6. The support connection hole 64 penetrates the support overhang 62. The support connection hole 64 is a circular hole.

[0071] 11, the support bracket 6 is arranged with the longitudinal direction of the support fixing holes 63 aligned with the vertical direction. Therefore, when the support bracket 6 is arranged with the support base portion 61 overlapping the left wall surface 12, the longitudinal direction of the support fixing holes 63 aligned with the vertical direction. Other configurations of the support bracket 6 are the same as those in the first embodiment.

[0072] The support fixture 7 fixes the support bracket 6 to the left wall surface 12 with the support anchor bolt 71 passing through the support fixing hole 63. The vertical position of the support bracket 6 relative to the support anchor bolt 71 is adjustable within the dimensional range of the longitudinal direction of the support fixing hole 63. Therefore, the position of the support bracket 6 is adjustable relative to the main bracket 4 in the longitudinal direction of the support fixing hole 63, i.e., in the vertical direction.

[0073] The support fixture 7 prevents the support bracket 6 from moving in the depth direction of the hoistway 1 by engaging the support anchor bolt 71 with the support base portion 61. That is, the support fixture 7 supports the force in the depth direction of the hoistway 1 received from the support bracket 6 by a pressure bearing joint.

[0074] In the rail mounting device 3, the position of the support bracket 6 is adjusted in the up-down direction relative to the main body bracket 4, so that a part of the support overhang 62 overlaps with the main body overhang 42, as shown in Figs. 10 and 11. In addition, in the rail mounting device 3, the position of the main body bracket 4 is adjusted in the width direction of the hoistway 1 relative to the support bracket 6, so that the position of the main body connecting hole 44 overlaps with the support connecting hole 64. In this embodiment, the main body connecting hole 44 is an elongated hole along the depth direction of the hoistway 1, so that the positional deviation of the support connecting hole 64 relative to the main body connecting hole 44 is absorbed in the depth direction of the hoistway 1. In other words, the main body connecting hole 44 absorbs the positional deviation of the support connecting hole 64 relative to the main body connecting hole 44.

[0075] The connector 9 fixes the support bracket 6 to the main body bracket 4 while being passed through the main body connecting hole 44 and the support connecting hole 64. The connector 9 has a connecting bolt 91 and a connecting nut 92.

[0076] The connecting bolt 91 is passed through the main body connecting hole 44 and the support connecting hole 64. The connecting nut 92 is screwed into the connecting bolt 91. The main body protrusion 42 and the support protrusion 62 are sandwiched between the head of the connecting bolt 91 and the connecting nut 92. With the main body protrusion 42 and the support protrusion 62 sandwiched between the head of the connecting bolt 91 and the connecting nut 92, the connecting nut 92 is tightened, whereby the support protrusion 62 is fixed to the main body protrusion 42.

[0077] The connector 9 prevents movement of the main body bracket 4 in the width direction of the hoistway 1 relative to the support bracket 6 by engaging the main body overhanging portion 42 and the support overhanging portion 62 with the connecting bolt 91. This allows the connector 9 to transmit the force in the width direction of the hoistway 1 between the main body bracket 4 and the support bracket 6 by pressure bearing connection. Other configurations in the second embodiment are similar to those in the first embodiment.

[0078] When the counterweight guide rail 2 is subjected to an external force in the horizontal direction, the external force received by the counterweight guide rail 2 is supported by the wall of the hoistway 1 via the rail mounting device 3. It is possible that the counterweight guide rail 2 may be subjected to external forces in each of the directions: along the width direction of the hoistway 1 toward the left wall surface 12; along the width direction of the hoistway 1 away from the left wall surface 12; and along the depth direction of the hoistway 1 toward the rear wall surface 11.

[0079] Next, a force supporting a load acting on the wall of the hoistway 1 when the counterweight guide rail 2 receives an external force in the direction toward the left wall surface 12 along the width direction of the hoistway 1 will be described. FIG. 15 is a top view showing a force supporting a load acting on the wall of the hoistway 1 when the counterweight guide rail 2 receives an external force in the direction toward the left wall surface 12 along the width direction of the hoistway 1 in FIG. 9. When the counterweight guide rail 2 receives an external force F1 in the direction toward the left wall surface 12, the external force F1 is transmitted from the counterweight guide rail 2 to the rail bracket 8, the main body bracket 4, the connector 9, and the support bracket 6 in this order, and reaches the left wall surface 12. As a result, a pressing load is applied from the support bracket 6 to the left wall surface 12. Therefore, the external force F1 in the direction toward the left wall surface 12 is supported by a reaction force F2 of the left wall surface 12 that opposes the pressing load of the support bracket 6.

[0080] FIG. 16 is a top view showing a force supporting a moment acting on the wall of the hoistway 1 when the counterweight guide rail 2 receives an external force F1 in a direction toward the left wall surface 12 along the width direction of the hoistway 1 in FIG. 9. When the counterweight guide rail 2 receives an external force F1 in a direction toward the left wall surface 12, a moment of force acts from the support bracket 6 to the left wall surface 12. When the moment of force acts from the support bracket 6 to the left wall surface 12, the end of the support bracket 6 farther from the rear wall surface 11 is pressed against the left wall surface 12, and the end of the support bracket 6 closer to the rear wall surface 11 tries to move away from the left wall surface 12. In this case, the moment of force acting on the left wall surface 12 is supported by a reaction force F3 of the left wall surface 12 that opposes the pressing load of the support bracket 6 and a holding force F4 of the left wall surface 12 that holds the support fixture 7.

[0081] Next, a force supporting a load acting on the wall of the hoistway 1 when the counterweight guide rail 2 receives an external force in a direction away from the left wall surface 12 along the width direction of the hoistway 1 will be described. FIG. 17 is a top view showing a force supporting a load acting on the wall of the hoistway 1 when the counterweight guide rail 2 receives an external force in a direction away from the left wall surface 12 along the width direction of the hoistway 1 in FIG. 9. When the counterweight guide rail 2 receives an external force F1 in a direction away from the left wall surface 12, the external force F1 is transmitted from the counterweight guide rail 2 to the rail bracket 8, the main bracket 4, the connector 9, the support bracket 6, and the support fixture 7 in this order, and reaches the left wall surface 12. As a result, a load acts on the left wall surface 12 in a direction to pull out the support fixture 7. Therefore, an external force F1 in a direction away from the left wall surface 12 is supported by a retaining force F2 of the left wall surface 12 that retains a load in a direction in which the supporting fixture 7 is pulled out.

[0082] FIG. 18 is a top view showing a force supporting a moment acting on the wall of the hoistway 1 when the counterweight guide rail 2 receives an external force F1 in a direction away from the left wall surface 12 along the width direction of the hoistway 1 in FIG. 9. When the counterweight guide rail 2 receives an external force F1 in a direction away from the left wall surface 12, a moment of force acts from the support bracket 6 to the left wall surface 12. When the moment of force acts from the support bracket 6 to the left wall surface 12, the end of the support bracket 6 closer to the rear wall surface 11 is pressed against the left wall surface 12, and the end of the support bracket 6 farther from the rear wall surface 11 tries to move away from the left wall surface 12. In this case, the moment of force acting on the left wall surface 12 is supported by a reaction force F3 of the left wall surface 12 that opposes the pressing load of the support bracket 6 and a holding force F4 of the left wall surface 12 that holds the support fixture 7.

[0083] Next, a force supporting a load acting on the wall of the hoistway 1 when the counterweight guide rail 2 receives an external force in the direction toward the rear wall surface 11 along the depth direction of the hoistway 1 will be described. FIG. 19 is a top view showing a force supporting a load acting on the wall of the hoistway 1 when the counterweight guide rail 2 receives an external force in the direction toward the rear wall surface 11 along the depth direction of the hoistway 1 in FIG. 9. When the counterweight guide rail 2 receives an external force F1 in the direction toward the rear wall surface 11, the external force F1 is transmitted from the counterweight guide rail 2 to the rail bracket 8 and the main body bracket 4 in that order, and reaches the rear wall surface 11. As a result, a pressing load is applied from the main body bracket 4 to the rear wall surface 11. Therefore, the external force F1 in the direction toward the rear wall surface 11 is supported by a reaction force F2 of the rear wall surface 11 that opposes the pressing load of the main body bracket 4.

[0084] Next, a rail mounting method will be described in which the counterweight guide rail 2 is mounted on the wall of the hoistway 1 by the rail mounting device 3. In the rail mounting method, after the counterweight guide rail 2 is placed in the hoistway 1, the steps of fixing the main body bracket S1, fixing the support bracket S2, fixing the brackets S3, mounting the rail S4, and fixing the rail bracket S5 are carried out in this order, as in the first embodiment.

[0085] In this embodiment, in the support bracket fixing step S2, if the support overhang 62 is vertically separated from the main body overhang 42, the position of the support bracket 6 relative to the main body bracket 4 is adjusted in the vertical direction. At this time, the position of the support bracket 6 relative to the support fixture 7 is adjusted along the longitudinal direction of the support fixing hole 63. Thereafter, the support bracket 6 is fixed to the left wall surface 12 by the support fixture 7.

[0086] Furthermore, in this embodiment, in the inter-bracket fixing step S3, if the position of the main body connecting hole 44 deviates in the width direction of the hoistway 1 from the position overlapping with the support connecting hole 64, the position of the main body bracket 4 relative to the support bracket 6 is adjusted in the width direction of the hoistway 1. When adjusting the position of the main body bracket 4 relative to the support bracket 6, the main body fixing nut 52 of the main body fastener 5 is loosened. In this manner, the position of the main body connecting hole 44 is adjusted to a position overlapping with the support connecting hole 64.

[0087] In the inter-bracket fixing process S3, the positions of the main body connection holes 44 are adjusted to overlap with the support connection holes 64, and then the support protrusion 62 of the support bracket 6 is fixed to the main body protrusion 42 of the main body bracket 4 by the connector 9. The other steps in the rail mounting method are the same as those in the first embodiment.

[0088] In such a rail mounting device 3, the main body fixing hole 43 provided in the main body bracket 4 is an elongated hole. The main body bracket 4 is arranged with the longitudinal direction of the main body fixing hole 43 aligned with the width direction of the elevator shaft 1, i.e., the horizontal direction along the rear wall surface 11. The main body fixing device 5 fixes the main body bracket 4 to the rear wall surface 11 with the main body anchor bolt 51 passing through the main body fixing hole 43. Therefore, the position of the main body bracket 4 relative to the main body fixing device 5 can be adjusted along the main body fixing hole 43. As a result, even if the position of the main body bracket 4 relative to the support bracket 6 is misaligned in the horizontal direction along the rear wall surface 11, the position of the main body bracket 4 relative to the support bracket 6 can be adjusted. Therefore, the support bracket 6 can be easily fixed to the main body bracket 4.

[0089] Furthermore, the support fixing hole 63 provided in the support bracket 6 is an elongated hole. The support bracket 6 is arranged with the longitudinal direction of the support fixing hole 63 aligned with the vertical direction. The support fixture 7 fixes the support bracket 6 to the left wall surface 12 with the support anchor bolt 71 passing through the support fixing hole 63. Therefore, even if the support bracket 6 is separated from the main bracket 4 in the vertical direction, the position of the support bracket 6 relative to the main bracket 4 can be adjusted in the vertical direction. This makes it possible to easily fix the support bracket 6 to the main bracket 4.

[0090] Further, the main body bracket 4 is provided with a main body connecting hole 44. The support bracket 6 is provided with a support connecting hole 64. The main body connecting hole 44 is an elongated hole. The longitudinal direction of the main body connecting hole 44 coincides with the horizontal direction intersecting the rear wall surface 11. The connector 9 is passed through the main body connecting hole 44 and the support connecting hole 64 to fix the support bracket 6 to the main body bracket 4. Therefore, the main body connecting hole 44 can be overlapped with the support connecting hole 64 within the dimensional range in the longitudinal direction of the main body connecting hole 44. This makes it possible to absorb the positional deviation of the support connecting hole 64 relative to the main body connecting hole 44, and the main body connecting hole 44 can be overlapped with the support connecting hole 64 more reliably. Therefore, the connector 9 can be passed through the main body connecting hole 44 and the support connecting hole 64 more reliably, and the support bracket 6 can be fixed to the main body bracket 4 more reliably.

[0091] In the above-mentioned second embodiment, the main body connecting hole 44 is an elongated hole. However, the support connecting hole 64 may be an elongated hole, and the main body connecting hole 44 may be a round hole. In this case, the longitudinal direction of the support connecting hole 64 coincides with the horizontal direction intersecting the rear wall surface 11. Even in this case, the support connecting hole 64 can absorb the positional deviation of the support connecting hole 64 relative to the main body connecting hole 44, and the main body connecting hole 44 can be overlapped with the support connecting hole 64 more reliably. That is, by making one of the connecting holes of the main body connecting hole 44 and the support connecting hole 64 an elongated hole and aligning the longitudinal direction of the one connecting hole with the horizontal direction intersecting the rear wall surface 11, the main body connecting hole 44 can be overlapped with the support connecting hole 64 more reliably.

[0092] Embodiment 3 FIG. 20 is a top view showing an elevator rail mounting device according to embodiment 3. FIG. 21 is a cross-sectional view taken along line XXI-XXI in FIG. 20. FIG. 22 is a cross-sectional view taken along line XXII-XXII in FIG. 20. FIG. 23 is a perspective view showing the elevator rail mounting device of FIG. 20. The rail mounting device 3 has a main body bracket 4, a main body fixing device 5, a support bracket 6, a support fixing device 7, a rail bracket 8, and a coupling device 9, as in embodiment 2. In this embodiment, the first wall surface to which the main body bracket 4 is fixed is the left wall surface 12, and the second wall surface to which the support bracket 6 is fixed is the rear wall surface 11.

[0093] 24 is a perspective view showing the main body bracket 4 of FIG. 23. The main body fixing hole 43 provided in the main body base portion 41 is an elongated hole. The main body connecting hole 44 provided in the main body protruding portion 42 is an elongated hole. The longitudinal direction of the main body fixing hole 43 coincides with the longitudinal direction of the main body bracket 4, and the longitudinal direction of the main body connecting hole 44 coincides with a direction intersecting the longitudinal direction of the main body fixing hole 43. In this embodiment, the longitudinal direction of the main body connecting hole 44 coincides with a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the main body fixing hole 43.

[0094] As shown in Fig. 20, the main body bracket 4 is disposed in the space between the counterweight guide rail 2 and the left wall surface 12. As shown in Fig. 21 and Fig. 22, the main body bracket 4 is disposed with the main body base portion 41 overlapping the left wall surface 12. The main body bracket 4 is also disposed with the main body protruding portion 42 protruding from the upper portion of the main body base portion 41 toward the opposite side to the left wall surface 12.

[0095] As shown in Figs. 21 and 22, the main body bracket 4 is arranged with the longitudinal direction of the main body fixing hole 43 coinciding with the horizontal direction along the left wall surface 12. Therefore, when the main body bracket 4 is arranged with the main body base portion 41 overlapping the left wall surface 12, the longitudinal direction of the main body fixing hole 43 coincides with the depth direction of the hoistway 1. As a result, the longitudinal direction of the main body connecting hole 44 coincides with the horizontal direction intersecting with the left wall surface 12. In this embodiment, the longitudinal direction of the main body connecting hole 44 coincides with the width direction of the hoistway 1, as shown in Fig. 20. Other configurations of the main body bracket 4 are the same as those in the second embodiment.

[0096] The main body fixing device 5 fixes the main body bracket 4 to the left wall surface 12 with the main body anchor bolt 51 passing through the main body fixing hole 43. The horizontal position of the main body bracket 4 relative to the main body anchor bolt 51 is adjustable along the left wall surface 12 within the longitudinal dimensional range of the main body fixing hole 43. Therefore, the position of the main body bracket 4 is adjustable relative to the support bracket 6 in the longitudinal direction of the main body fixing hole 43, i.e., in the depth direction of the elevator shaft 1.

[0097] Fig. 25 is a perspective view showing the support bracket 6 of Fig. 23. The support fixing hole 63 provided in the support base portion 61 is an elongated hole. The longitudinal direction of the support fixing hole 63 coincides with a direction intersecting the longitudinal direction of the support bracket 6. In this embodiment, the longitudinal direction of the support fixing hole 63 coincides with a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the support bracket 6. The support connection hole 64 provided in the support overhang portion 62 is a round hole.

[0098] As shown in Fig. 20, the support bracket 6 is disposed in the space between the back surface of the counterweight guide rail 2 and the rear wall surface 11. As shown in Figs. 21 and 22, the support bracket 6 is disposed with the support base portion 61 overlapping the rear wall surface 11. The support bracket 6 is disposed with the support protrusion portion 62 protruding from the upper portion of the support base portion 61 toward the opposite side to the rear wall surface 11. The support bracket 6 is disposed with the longitudinal direction of the support fixing hole 63 aligned with the up-down direction. Other configurations of the support bracket 6 are the same as those in the second embodiment.

[0099] The support fixture 7 fixes the support bracket 6 to the rear wall surface 11 with the support anchor bolt 71 passing through the support fixing hole 63. The vertical position of the support bracket 6 relative to the support anchor bolt 71 is adjustable within the dimensional range of the longitudinal direction of the support fixing hole 63. Therefore, the position of the support bracket 6 is adjustable relative to the main bracket 4 in the longitudinal direction of the support fixing hole 63, i.e., in the vertical direction.

[0100] The support fixture 7 prevents the support bracket 6 from moving in the width direction of the hoistway 1 by engaging the support anchor bolt 71 with the support base portion 61. That is, the support fixture 7 supports the force of the hoistway 1 in the width direction received from the support bracket 6 by a pressure bearing joint.

[0101] In the rail mounting device 3, the position of the support bracket 6 is adjusted in the up-down direction relative to the main body bracket 4, so that a part of the support overhang 62 overlaps with the main body overhang 42, as shown in Figs. 21 and 22. In addition, in the rail mounting device 3, the position of the main body bracket 4 is adjusted in the depth direction of the hoistway 1 relative to the support bracket 6, so that the position of the main body connecting hole 44 overlaps with the support connecting hole 64. In this embodiment, the main body connecting hole 44 is an elongated hole along the width direction of the hoistway 1, so that the positional deviation of the support connecting hole 64 relative to the main body connecting hole 44 is absorbed in the width direction of the hoistway 1. In other words, the main body connecting hole 44 absorbs the positional deviation of the support connecting hole 64 relative to the main body connecting hole 44.

[0102] The connector 9 prevents the movement of the main body bracket 4 in the depth direction of the hoistway 1 relative to the support bracket 6 by engaging the main body overhanging portion 42 and the support overhanging portion 62 with the connecting bolt 91. This allows the connector 9 to transmit the force in the depth direction of the hoistway 1 between the main body bracket 4 and the support bracket 6 by pressure bearing connection.

[0103] Fig. 26 is a perspective view showing the rail bracket 8 of Fig. 23. The center position between a pair of rail mounting holes 83 in the longitudinal direction of the rail bracket 8 is shifted from the center position between both ends of the rail bracket 8 in the longitudinal direction of the rail bracket 8.

[0104] As shown in Figs. 20 to 23, the rail bracket 8 is arranged with its longitudinal direction coinciding with the width direction of the elevator shaft 1. Of both ends of the rail bracket 8, the end farther from the pair of rail mounting holes 83 is fixed to the main body protrusion 42 of the main body bracket 4. In this embodiment, the fixed base portion 81 of the rail bracket 8 is fixed to the main body protrusion 42 by welding. The other configurations in the third embodiment are similar to those in the second embodiment.

[0105] Next, a force supporting a load acting on the wall of the hoistway 1 when the counterweight guide rail 2 receives an external force in the direction toward the left wall surface 12 along the width direction of the hoistway 1 will be described. FIG. 27 is a top view showing a force supporting a load acting on the wall of the hoistway 1 when the counterweight guide rail 2 receives an external force in the direction toward the left wall surface 12 along the width direction of the hoistway 1 in FIG. 20. When the counterweight guide rail 2 receives an external force F1 in the direction toward the left wall surface 12, the external force F1 is transmitted in this order to the rail bracket 8 and the main body bracket 4, and reaches the left wall surface 12. As a result, a pressing load is applied from the main body bracket 4 to the left wall surface 12. Therefore, the external force F1 in the direction toward the left wall surface 12 is supported by a reaction force F2 of the left wall surface 12 that opposes the pressing load of the main body bracket 4.

[0106] FIG. 28 is a top view showing a force supporting a moment acting on the wall of the hoistway 1 when the counterweight guide rail 2 receives an external force F1 in a direction toward the left wall surface 12 along the width direction of the hoistway 1 in FIG. 20. When the counterweight guide rail 2 receives an external force F1 in a direction toward the left wall surface 12, a moment of force acts from the main body bracket 4 to the left wall surface 12. When the moment of force acts from the main body bracket 4 to the left wall surface 12, the end of the main body bracket 4 farther from the rear wall surface 11 is pressed against the left wall surface 12, and the end of the main body bracket 4 closer to the rear wall surface 11 tries to move away from the left wall surface 12. In this case, the moment of force acting on the left wall surface 12 is supported by a reaction force F3 of the left wall surface 12 that opposes the pressing load of the main body bracket 4 and a holding force F4 of the left wall surface 12 that holds the main body fixing device 5.

[0107] Next, a force supporting a load acting on the wall of the hoistway 1 when the counterweight guide rail 2 receives an external force in a direction away from the left wall surface 12 along the width direction of the hoistway 1 will be described. FIG. 29 is a top view showing a force supporting a load acting on the wall of the hoistway 1 when the counterweight guide rail 2 receives an external force in a direction away from the left wall surface 12 along the width direction of the hoistway 1 in FIG. 20. When the counterweight guide rail 2 receives an external force F1 in a direction away from the left wall surface 12, the external force F1 is transmitted from the counterweight guide rail 2 to the rail bracket 8, the main body bracket 4, and the main body fixing device 5 in this order, and reaches the left wall surface 12. As a result, a load in a direction to pull out the main body fixing device 5 acts on the left wall surface 12. Therefore, the external force F1 in a direction away from the left wall surface 12 is supported by a holding force F2 of the left wall surface 12 that holds the load in a direction to pull out the main body fixing device 5.

[0108] FIG. 30 is a top view showing the force supporting the moment acting on the wall of the hoistway 1 when the counterweight guide rail 2 receives an external force F1 in the direction away from the left wall surface 12 along the width direction of the hoistway 1 in FIG. 20. When the counterweight guide rail 2 receives the external force F1 in the direction away from the left wall surface 12, a moment of force acts from the main body bracket 4 to the left wall surface 12. When the moment of force acts from the main body bracket 4 to the left wall surface 12, the end of the main body bracket 4 close to the rear wall surface 11 is pressed against the left wall surface 12, and the end of the main body bracket 4 far from the rear wall surface 11 tries to move away from the left wall surface 12. In this case, the moment of force acting on the left wall surface 12 is supported by the reaction force F3 of the left wall surface 12 that opposes the pressing load of the main body bracket 4 and the holding force F4 of the left wall surface 12 that holds the main body fixing device 5.

[0109] Next, a force supporting a load acting on the wall of the hoistway 1 when the counterweight guide rail 2 receives an external force in the direction toward the rear wall surface 11 along the depth direction of the hoistway 1 will be described. FIG. 31 is a top view showing a force supporting a load acting on the wall of the hoistway 1 when the counterweight guide rail 2 receives an external force in the direction toward the rear wall surface 11 along the depth direction of the hoistway 1 in FIG. 20. When the counterweight guide rail 2 receives an external force F1 in the direction toward the rear wall surface 11, the external force F1 is transmitted from the counterweight guide rail 2 to the rail bracket 8, the main body bracket 4, the connector 9, and the support bracket 6 in this order, and reaches the rear wall surface 11. As a result, a pressing load is applied from the support bracket 6 to the rear wall surface 11. Therefore, the external force F1 in the direction toward the rear wall surface 11 is supported by a reaction force F2 of the rear wall surface 11 that opposes the pressing load of the support bracket 6.

[0110] FIG. 32 is a top view showing the force supporting the moment acting on the wall of the hoistway 1 when the counterweight guide rail 2 receives an external force F1 in the direction toward the rear wall surface 11 along the depth direction of the hoistway 1 in FIG. 20. When the counterweight guide rail 2 receives the external force F1 in the direction toward the rear wall surface 11, a moment of force acts from the main body bracket 4 to the left wall surface 12. When the moment of force acts from the main body bracket 4 to the left wall surface 12, the end of the main body bracket 4 closer to the rear wall surface 11 is pressed against the left wall surface 12, and the end of the main body bracket 4 farther from the rear wall surface 11 tries to move away from the left wall surface 12. In this case, the moment of force acting on the left wall surface 12 is supported by a reaction force F3 of the left wall surface 12 that opposes the pressing load of the main body bracket 4 and a holding force F4 of the left wall surface 12 that holds the main body fixing device 5.

[0111] Next, a rail mounting method will be described in which the counterweight guide rail 2 is mounted on the wall of the hoistway 1 by the rail mounting device 3. In the rail mounting method, after the counterweight guide rail 2 is placed in the hoistway 1, the steps of fixing the main body bracket S1, fixing the support bracket S2, fixing the brackets S3, mounting the rail S4, and fixing the rail bracket S5 are carried out in this order, as in the second embodiment.

[0112] In this embodiment, the main body bracket 4 is fixed to the left wall surface 12 by the main body fastener 5 in the main body bracket fixing step S1.

[0113] In the present embodiment, in support bracket fixing step S2, the support bracket 6 is fixed to the rear wall surface 11 by the support fastener 7. If the support overhang 62 is vertically separated from the main body overhang 42 in the support bracket fixing step S2, the position of the support bracket 6 relative to the main body bracket 4 is adjusted in the vertical direction in the same manner as in the second embodiment.

[0114] In this embodiment, in the inter-bracket fixing step S3, if the position of the main body connection hole 44 deviates in the depth direction of the hoistway 1 from the position overlapping with the support connection hole 64, the position of the main body bracket 4 relative to the support bracket 6 is adjusted in the depth direction of the hoistway 1. When adjusting the position of the main body bracket 4 relative to the support bracket 6, the main body fixing nut 52 of the main body fastener 5 is loosened. In this way, the position of the main body connection hole 44 is adjusted to a position overlapping with the support connection hole 64. The other steps in the rail mounting method are similar to those in the second embodiment.

[0115] In this way, even if the first wall surface to which the main body bracket 4 is fixed is the left wall surface 12 and the second wall surface to which the support bracket 6 is fixed is the rear wall surface 11, the positional relationship between the main body bracket 4 and the support bracket 6 can be adjusted according to the layout of the car 13 and the counterweight 14, and the degree of freedom in adjusting the positions of at least one of the main body bracket 4 and the support bracket 6 relative to the rear wall surface 11 and the left wall surface 12 can be increased. This allows, for example, the position of the support bracket 6 to be adjusted to a position that does not interfere with the car 13, and the dimensions of the car 13 can be expanded in the direction approaching the rear wall surface 11. Therefore, the space of the elevator shaft 1 can be saved.

[0116] In the above-mentioned third embodiment, the main body connecting hole 44 is an elongated hole. However, the support connecting hole 64 may be an elongated hole, and the main body connecting hole 44 may be a round hole. In this case, the longitudinal direction of the support connecting hole 64 coincides with the horizontal direction intersecting the left wall surface 12. Even in this case, the support connecting hole 64 can absorb the positional deviation of the support connecting hole 64 relative to the main body connecting hole 44, and the main body connecting hole 44 can be overlapped with the support connecting hole 64 more reliably. That is, by making one of the connecting holes of the main body connecting hole 44 and the support connecting hole 64 an elongated hole and aligning the longitudinal direction of the one connecting hole with the horizontal direction intersecting the left wall surface 12, the main body connecting hole 44 can be overlapped with the support connecting hole 64 more reliably.

[0117] In the above-mentioned second and third embodiments, the main body connecting hole 44 is an elongated hole. However, the main body connecting hole 44 and the support connecting hole 64 may each be a round hole. Even in this case, the support bracket 6 can be fixed to the main body bracket 4 by aligning the main body connecting hole 44 with the support connecting hole 64 and passing the connector 9 through the main body connecting hole 44 and the support connecting hole 64.

[0118] In addition, in each of the above-described embodiments, the number of body fasteners 5 for the body bracket 4 is one. However, the number of body fasteners 5 for the body bracket 4 may be multiple. In this case, the number of body fastening holes 43 in the body bracket 4 is the same as the number of body fasteners 5.

[0119] In addition, in each of the above-described embodiments, the number of support fixtures 7 for the support bracket 6 is one. However, the number of support fixtures 7 for the support bracket 6 may be multiple. In this case, the number of support fixing holes 63 in the support bracket 6 is the same as the number of support fixtures 7.

[0120] In each of the above-described embodiments, the rail mounting device 3 is disposed in a corner formed between the rear wall surface 11 and the left wall surface 12 in the hoistway 1. However, the position of the rail mounting device 3 is not limited to this. The rail mounting device 3 may be disposed in any of a corner formed between the front wall surface and the left wall surface 12, a corner formed between the rear wall surface 11 and the right wall surface, and a corner formed between the front wall surface and the right wall surface. In this case, the layouts of the car 13, counterweight 14, car guide rail, and counterweight guide rail 2 are adjusted.

[0121] In each of the above-described embodiments, the support bracket fixing step S2 is performed after the main body bracket fixing step S1 and before the inter-bracket fixing step S3. However, the main body bracket fixing step S1 may be performed after the support bracket fixing step S2 and before the inter-bracket fixing step S3.

[0122] In each of the above-described embodiments, the rail mounting step S4 is performed after the inter-bracket fixing step S3 and before the rail bracket fixing step S5. However, the rail mounting step S4 may be performed before any of the main body bracket fixing step S1, the support bracket fixing step S2, and the inter-bracket fixing step S3, or the rail mounting step S4 may be performed after the rail bracket fixing step S5.

[0123] In each of the above-described embodiments, the rail bracket fixing step S5 is performed after the rail mounting step S4. However, the rail bracket fixing step S5 may be performed before any of the main body bracket fixing step S1, the support bracket fixing step S2, the inter-bracket fixing step S3, and the rail mounting step S4.
