[0013] In each drawing, the dimensions of components may be enlarged or reduced from their actual dimensions for the sake of clarity, and the dimensional ratios between drawings may not be consistent. Furthermore, in each drawing, some components may be omitted for the sake of clarity.

[0014] Terms including ordinal numbers such as "1st," "2nd," etc., are used to describe various components, but these terms are used solely for the purpose of distinguishing one component from others, and the components are not particularly limited by these terms. Furthermore, the number of components including ordinal numbers is not particularly limited; for example, there may be only one. Also, the ordinal numbers used in the following specification and drawings may differ from the ordinal numbers described in the claims.

[0015] The following description will explain one embodiment of an elevator and elevator electrical panel with reference to Figures 1 to 8. Note that the following embodiment is provided as an example to aid in understanding the configuration of the elevator and elevator electrical panel, and does not limit the configuration of the elevator and elevator electrical panel.

[0016] As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the elevator 1 may include, for example, a car 2 for people (passengers) to ride in, a car drive unit 3 for moving the car 2, a car rail 1a for guiding the car 2, and a processing unit 1b for controlling each part of the elevator 1. The processing unit 1b includes an elevator electrical panel (hereinafter also simply referred to as "electrical panel") 4 located inside the hoistway X1.

[0017] The drive method of the car drive unit 3 is not particularly limited. For example, as in this embodiment, the elevator 1 may be configured to include a counterweight 1c, a car rope 1d connected to the car 2 and the counterweight 1c, and a counterweight rail 1e that guides the counterweight 1c, while the car drive unit 3 may be configured to include a sheave 3a around which the car rope 1d is wound, and a drive source 3b (for example, a motor) that rotates the sheave 3a.

[0018] That is, the car drive unit 3 may be a hoisting machine, and the elevator 1 may be a rope-type drive system. However, the configuration is not limited to this, and for example, the car drive unit 3 may be a hydraulic device, and the elevator 1 may be a hydraulic drive system, or for example, the car drive unit 3 may be a linear motor, and the elevator 1 may be a linear motor drive system.

[0019] Furthermore, in this embodiment, both ends of the cage rope 1d are fixed to the upper or lower part of the hoistway X1, and the cage rope 1d is wrapped around the sheave 2a of the cage 2 and the sheave 1f of the counterweight 1c, respectively, thereby connecting the cage rope 1d to the cage 2 and the counterweight 1c, respectively. However, the embodiment is not limited to this configuration. For example, the first end of the cage rope 1d may be connected to the cage 2, and the second end of the cage rope 1d may be connected to the counterweight 1c.

[0020] Furthermore, while the elevator 1 according to this embodiment has a configuration in which the hoisting machine, which is the car drive unit 3, is located inside the hoistway X1, it is not limited to this configuration. For example, a machine room may be provided above the hoistway X1, and the elevator 1 may have a configuration in which the hoisting machine is located inside the machine room.

[0021] As shown in Figures 2 to 4, the electrical panel 4 comprises a panel body 11 fixed inside the elevator shaft X1, cover bodies 21 and 22 covering the panel body 11, connecting parts 31 and 32 connecting the panel body 11 and the cover bodies 21 and 22, and a guide part 41 that guides the cover bodies 21 and 22. In addition, the electrical panel 4 may also include fixing means 51 for fixing the guide part 41 to the panel body 11, for example, as in this embodiment.

[0022] The number of cover bodies 21 and 22 is not particularly limited; for example, there may be two, as in this embodiment, or there may be one or three or more. Similarly, the number of connecting parts 31 and 32 is not particularly limited; for example, there may be two, as in this embodiment, or there may be one or three or more.

[0023] The control panel 11 may be fixed to the elevator shaft X1 by, for example, a bracket (not shown) connecting it to the side wall X2 of the elevator shaft X1 or to the rails 1a, 1e. Alternatively, the control panel 11 may be positioned between the elevator car 2 and the side wall X2 of the elevator shaft X1 in the front-rear direction D1 when viewed in the vertical direction D3, as in this embodiment. This ensures that when the elevator car 2 is in a predetermined position (for example, the landing on the top floor), the control panel 11 faces the elevator car 2 in the front-rear direction D1.

[0024] In each figure, the first direction D1 of the electrical panel 4 is the front-to-back direction D1, the second direction D2 of the electrical panel 4 is the left-to-right direction D2 which is perpendicular to the front-to-back direction D1, and the third direction D3 of the electrical panel 4 is the up-and-down direction D3 which is perpendicular to both the front-to-back direction D1 and the left-to-right direction D2. Note that a direction perpendicular to a specific direction refers to a direction parallel to a virtual plane perpendicular to that specific direction. Furthermore, in the front-to-back direction D1 of the electrical panel 4, the direction of the arrow in the figure is the front direction of the electrical panel 4, and the direction opposite to the direction of the arrow in the figure is the rear direction of the electrical panel 4.

[0025] The electrical panel 4 may, for example, have electrical components (not shown) inside the panel body 11. While not particularly limited, the electrical components may be, for example, control components that control the movement of the cage 2 (e.g., inverter, CPU, etc.), or they may be, for example, accessories for the electrical panel 4 (e.g., a fan for supplying and exhausting air to the panel body 11, lighting for illuminating the inside of the panel body 11, etc.).

[0026] As shown in Figures 3 to 6, the panel body 11 has a body opening 12a at the front that opens to the inside. For example, as in this embodiment, the panel body 11 may be a housing having a front part 12, a rear part (not shown), a left part (not shown), a right part (not shown), a top part 13, and a bottom part (not shown), and the front part 12 has a body opening 12a that opens to the inside of the panel body 11 in the front-to-back direction D1.

[0027] The cover bodies 21 and 22 each include a cover portion 23 that covers the main body opening 12a from the front, and an overlapping portion 24 that is positioned above the main body 11 and overlaps with the upper part of the main body 11 (specifically, the top surface portion 13) when viewed in the vertical direction D3. The cover bodies 21 and 22 may also include a handle 25 that can be grasped when operated, for example, as in this embodiment.

[0028] Furthermore, the cover bodies 21 and 22 are positioned only on a portion of the circumferential direction of the main body 11. Specifically, the cover portion 23 may be formed in an arc shape when viewed in the vertical direction D3, for example, as in this embodiment. As a result, the cover portion 23 is positioned only on a portion of the circumferential direction of the main body 11, and therefore the cover bodies 21 and 22 are positioned only on a portion of the circumferential direction of the main body 11.

[0029] The connecting parts 31 and 32 rotatably connect the upper part of the panel body 11 and the overlapping part 24 of the cover bodies 21 and 22 around the axis D3 in the vertical direction. This allows the cover bodies 21 and 22 to move between the closed position shown in Figures 3 and 4 and the open position shown in Figures 5 and 6. The connecting parts 31 and 32 may be, for example, bearings, or they may be, for example, sleeves (bushings).

[0030] Furthermore, with the cover bodies 21 and 22 in the closed position, the cover portion 23 covers the main body opening 12a in a view in the front-to-back direction D1 (specifically, from the front). This allows for, for example, protection of the electrical components inside the panel body 11, and also prevents, for example, contact with the electrical components inside the panel body 11. Additionally, for example, the cover portion 23 can prevent dust and water droplets from entering the inside of the electrical panel 4 through the main body opening 12a.

[0031] Furthermore, with the cover bodies 21 and 22 in the open position, the cover portion 23 is separated from the main body opening 12a in a view in the front-rear direction D1. This allows the interior of the panel body 11 to be opened through the main body opening 12a. Therefore, for example, maintenance work on the electrical components inside the panel body 11 can be easily performed. In this way, with the cover bodies 21 and 22 attached to the panel body 11, the interior of the panel body 11 can be opened through the main body opening 12a.

[0032] Furthermore, the foremost position of the cover bodies 21 and 22 in the open position is further back than the foremost position of the cover bodies 21 and 22 in the closed position. This allows the cover bodies 21 and 22 to move backward when they move from the closed position to the open position. Therefore, for example, when the cover bodies 21 and 22 are in the open position, it is possible to prevent the cage 2 (see Figure 2) from hitting the cover bodies 21 and 22.

[0033] The guide portion 41 extends along the direction of movement of the cover bodies 21 and 22. The guide portion 41 is positioned below the cover bodies 21 and 22. As a result, the cover bodies 21 and 22 are guided from below by the guide portion 41 when they move between the open and closed positions in the direction of movement. Therefore, the cover bodies 21 and 22 can move smoothly.

[0034] As shown in Figures 6 and 7, the cover bodies 21 and 22 each include a guided portion 26 that is guided by the guide portion 41, and an elastic portion 27 that is elastically deformable in the vertical direction D3 and connects the guided portion 26 and the cover portion 23. In addition, the cover bodies 21 and 22 may also include, for example, a clamping portion 28 that is fixed to the cover portion 23 and sandwiches the elastic portion 27 between itself and the guided portion 26, as in this embodiment.

[0035] Then, as the elastic portion 27 elastically deforms in the vertical direction D3, the guided portion 26 moves in the vertical direction D3 relative to the cover portion 23. As a result, even if there are irregularities caused by foreign matter on the guide portion 41, for example, the guided portion 26 is smoothly guided to the guide portion 41.

[0036] Furthermore, when the elastic portion 27 is undergoing compressive elastic deformation in the vertical direction D3, the guided portion 26 receives a downward elastic restoring force from the elastic portion 27. Although not particularly limited, the elastic portion 27 may be, for example, a coil spring as in this embodiment, or it may be, for example, a leaf spring.

[0037] Furthermore, the cover bodies 21 and 22 may, for example, be equipped with guide means 29 fixed to the cover portion 23 and guiding the guided portion 26 in the vertical direction D3, as in this embodiment. The guided portion 26 may, for example, be equipped with rolling elements 26a that roll on the guide portion 41 and a guided body 26b that holds the rolling elements 26a, as in this embodiment.

[0038] The rolling element 26a may be a ball, as in this embodiment, or it may be a roller. Although not shown, the guide portion 41 may also have a guide groove for positioning the lower part of the guided portion 26 (rolling element 26a) inside. In Figure 6 (and similarly in Figure 4), of the guided portion 26, elastic portion 27, clamping portion 28, and guide means 29, only the rolling element 26a is shown with a dashed line.

[0039] Furthermore, the guide section 41 includes an open-holding section 42 that holds the cover bodies 21 and 22 in the open position. The open-holding section 42 protrudes upward to stop the guided portion 26 of the cover bodies 21 and 22 in the direction of movement when they are in the open position. As a result, the cover bodies 21 and 22 are held in the open position by the open-holding section 42.

[0040] Furthermore, when the cover bodies 21 and 22 are in the open position, the elastic part 27 may be elastically deformed by compression, for example, as in this embodiment. This allows the elastic part 27 to apply a downward elastic restoring force to the guided part 26, thereby reliably preventing the guided part 26 from moving toward the closed position. Therefore, the cover bodies 21 and 22 can be reliably held in the open position. However, the configuration is not limited to this, and when the cover bodies 21 and 22 are in the open position, the elastic part 27 may, for example, be restored (not elastically deformed).

[0041] When the cover bodies 21 and 22 move from the open position to the closed position, an external force greater than the elastic restoring force of the elastic part 27 is applied to the cover bodies 21 and 22. As a result, as shown in Figure 8, the elastic part 27 undergoes compressive elastic deformation, and the guided part 26 moves upward. Subsequently, as the cover bodies 21 and 22 move in the direction of movement, the guided part 26 moves over the open-holding part 42.

[0042] In this way, when a force toward the closed position is applied to the cover bodies 21 and 22 which are in the open position, the elastic part 27 elastically deforms in the vertical direction D3. As a result, the guided part 26 moves in the vertical direction D3 relative to the cover part 23, and the locking mechanism of the guided part 26 by the open holding part 42 is released.

[0043] Conversely, when the cover bodies 21 and 22 move from the closed position to the open position, the guided portion 26 moves from a position away from the open-holding portion 42 to a position in contact with the open-holding portion 42. Then, when an external force greater than the elastic restoring force of the elastic portion 27 is applied to the cover bodies 21 and 22, the elastic portion 27 undergoes compressive elastic deformation as shown in Figure 8, and the guided portion 26 moves upward.

[0044] Subsequently, as the cover bodies 21 and 22 move in the direction of movement, the elastic portion 27 returns to its extended state as shown in Figure 7, and the guided portion 26 moves downward and overcomes the open-holding portion 42. As a result, the open-holding portion 42 stops the guided portion 26 in the direction of movement, and the cover bodies 21 and 22 are held in the open position by the open-holding portion 42.

[0045] Returning to Figures 3 and 4, the electrical panel 4 may include, for example, closed-holding parts 43 and 52 that hold the cover bodies 21 and 22 in the closed position. The closed-holding parts 43 and 52 may include, for example, a first closed-holding part 43 provided on the guide part 41 and a second closed-holding part 52 fixed to the cover bodies 21 and 22, as in this embodiment. Note that the closed-holding parts 43 and 52 may be of two types, as in this embodiment, or they may be of one type or three types, or they may not be provided at all.

[0046] The first closed-holding portion 43 may protrude upward, like the open-holding portion 42, in order to stop the guided portion 26 of the cover bodies 21 and 22 in the direction of movement when they are in the closed position. As a result, the cover bodies 21 and 22 are held in the closed position by the first closed-holding portion 43. On the other hand, when a force toward the open position is applied to the cover bodies 21 and 22 when they are in the closed position, the elastic portion 27 (see Figures 7 and 8) undergoes elastic deformation, which releases the hold on the guided portion 26 by the first closed-holding portion 43.

[0047] The second closing and holding part 52 may, for example, as in this embodiment, include a first magnet 52a attached to the first cover body 21 and a second magnet 52b attached to the second cover body 22, which is attracted to the first magnet 52a when the first cover body 21 and the second cover body 22 are in the closed position. As a result, when the first cover body 21 and the second cover body 22 are in the closed position, the first magnet 52a and the second magnet 52b are attracted to each other, and the covers 21 and 22 are held in the closed position.

[0048] However, the configuration is not limited to this, and the second holding part 52 may, for example, include a first locking member attached to the first cover body 21 and a second locking member attached to the second cover body 22, which can be automatically or manually locked with the first locking member when the first cover body 21 and the second cover body 22 are in the closed position. As a result, when the first cover body 21 and the second cover body 22 are in the closed position, the first locking member and the second locking member lock, and the covers 21 and 22 are held in the closed position.

[0049] Based on the above, the elevator electrical panel 4 is as in this embodiment. The control panel body 11 is fixed inside the elevator shaft X1, Cover bodies 21, 22 that cover the main body 11 of the aforementioned panel, The panel body 11 and the cover bodies 21 and 22 are connected by connecting parts 31 and 32, The panel body 11 is provided with a body opening 12a at the front that opens the interior, The aforementioned cover bodies 21 and 22 are A cover portion 23 that covers the main body opening 12a from the front, It is provided with an overlapping portion 24 that is positioned above the main panel body 11 and overlaps with the upper part of the main panel body 11 when viewed in the vertical direction D3, The connecting parts 31 and 32 are configured to connect the upper part of the panel body 11 and the overlapping part 24 so as to be rotatable about the vertical direction D3, such that the cover bodies 21 and 22 can move between a closed position in which the cover part 23 covers the main body opening 12a from the front and an open position in which the inside of the panel body 11 is exposed through the main body opening 12a. This configuration is preferable.

[0050] With this configuration, the connecting parts 31 and 32 are rotatably connected to the upper part of the panel body 11 and the overlapping part 24 of the cover bodies 21 and 22 around the vertical axis D3. As a result, the cover bodies 21 and 22 can move between a closed position where the cover part 23 covers the main body opening 12a from the front, and an open position where the inside of the panel body 11 is opened through the main body opening 12a. This allows the inside of the panel body 11 to be opened through the main body opening 12a while the cover bodies 21 and 22 are attached to the panel body 11.

[0051] Furthermore, in the elevator electrical panel 4, as in this embodiment, The cover bodies 21 and 22 are arranged only on a portion of the circumferential direction of the main body 11 of the panel. The foremost position of the cover bodies 21 and 22 in the open position is further back than the foremost position of the cover bodies 21 and 22 in the closed position. This configuration is preferable.

[0052] With this configuration, the foremost position of the cover bodies 21 and 22 in the open position is further back than the foremost position of the cover bodies 21 and 22 in the closed position. Therefore, when the cover bodies 21 and 22 move from the closed position to the open position, the cover bodies 21 and 22 can be moved backward.

[0053] Furthermore, the elevator electrical panel 4, as in this embodiment, To guide the cover bodies 21 and 22 from below, a guide portion 41 is provided that extends along the direction of movement of the cover bodies 21 and 22. This configuration is preferable.

[0054] With this configuration, the guide portion 41 extends along the direction of movement of the cover bodies 21 and 22, and the cover bodies 21 and 22 are guided from below by the guide portion 41 when they move in that direction. As a result, the cover bodies 21 and 22 can move smoothly.

[0055] Furthermore, in the elevator electrical panel 4, as in this embodiment, The aforementioned cover bodies 21 and 22 are The guided portion 26 is guided by the guide portion 41, The system includes an elastic portion 27 that is elastically deformable in the vertical direction D3 and connects the guided portion 26 and the cover portion 23. This configuration is preferable.

[0056] With this configuration, the guided portion 26 of the cover bodies 21 and 22 is guided by the guide portion 41, and the elastic portion 27 connects the guided portion 26 and the cover portion 23. As a result, the elastic portion 27 elastically deforms in the vertical direction D3, causing the guided portion 26 to move in the vertical direction D3 relative to the cover portion 23. This allows the guided portion 26 to be smoothly guided by the guide portion 41.

[0057] Furthermore, in the elevator electrical panel 4, as in this embodiment, The guide portion 41 includes an open-holding portion 42 that holds the cover bodies 21 and 22 in the open position. The open-holding portion 42 protrudes upward in order to stop the guided portion 26 of the cover body 21, 22, which is in the open position, in the direction of movement. The elastic portion 27 is elastically deformed when a force toward the closed position is applied to the cover bodies 21 and 22, which are in the open position, in order to release the locking of the guided portion 26 by the open holding portion 42. This configuration is preferable.

[0058] With this configuration, the open-holding portion 42 protrudes upward, stopping the guided portion 26 of the cover bodies 21 and 22 in the direction of movement when they are in the open position. This allows the cover bodies 21 and 22 to be held in the open position. On the other hand, when a force toward the closed position is applied to the cover bodies 21 and 22 when they are in the open position, the elastic portion 27 undergoes elastic deformation, which releases the hold on the guided portion 26 by the open-holding portion 42.

[0059] Furthermore, elevator 1, as in this embodiment, The elevator electrical panel 4 is provided as described above. This configuration is preferable.

[0060] With this configuration, the inside of the panel body 11 can be opened through the opening 12a while the cover bodies 21 and 22 are attached to the panel body 11.

[0061] It should be noted that the elevator 1 and elevator electrical panel 4 are not limited to the configuration of the embodiment described above, nor are they limited to the effects described above. Furthermore, it goes without saying that the elevator 1 and elevator electrical panel 4 can be modified in various ways without departing from the spirit of the present invention. For example, one or more of the configurations and methods described below may be arbitrarily selected and adopted in the configurations and methods of the embodiment described above.

[0062] (A) In the elevator electrical panel 4 according to the above embodiment, the foremost position of the cover bodies 21 and 22 in the open position is located further back than the foremost position of the cover bodies 21 and 22 in the closed position. However, the elevator electrical panel 4 is not limited to this configuration.

[0063] For example, the frontmost position of the cover bodies 21 and 22 in the open position may be further forward than the frontmost position of the cover bodies 21 and 22 in the closed position. Alternatively, for example, the frontmost position of the cover bodies 21 and 22 in the open position may be the same as the frontmost position of the cover bodies 21 and 22 in the closed position. While not particularly limited, one example of such a configuration is shown in Figures 9 to 11.

[0064] (B) In addition, in the elevator electrical panel 4 according to the above embodiment, the cover bodies 21 and 22 are arranged only on a part of the circumferential direction of the panel body 11. However, the elevator electrical panel 4 is not limited to this configuration.

[0065] For example, the cover bodies 21 and 22 may be arranged along the entire circumferential length of the main body 11. While not particularly limited, one example of such a configuration is shown in Figures 9 to 11.

[0066] (B-1) The configuration of the elevator electrical panel 4 shown in Figures 9 to 11 will be described below. Note that in Figure 11, a portion of the electrical panel 4 is shown in cross-section.

[0067] As shown in Figures 9 to 11, the cover body 21 comprises a cylindrical portion 21a that extends along the entire circumferential length of the panel body 11, and an overlapping portion 24 that is positioned above the panel body 11 and overlaps with the upper part of the panel body 11 when viewed in the vertical direction D3. As a result, the panel body 11 is positioned inside the cylindrical portion 21a.

[0068] The cylindrical portion 21a includes a cover portion 23 that covers the main body opening 12a from the front, and a cylindrical opening 21b that, when the cover portion 21 is in the open position, opens the inside of the panel body 11 through the main body opening 12a. The number of cylindrical openings 21b is not particularly limited; for example, as shown in Figures 9 to 11, there may be one, or there may be two or more.

[0069] As shown in Figure 9, when the cover body 21 is in the closed position, the cylindrical opening 21b (not shown in Figure 9) is located at the rear of the cylindrical portion 21a. As a result, the cover portion 23 covers the main body opening 12a when viewed in the front-to-back direction D1 (specifically, from the front).

[0070] On the other hand, as shown in Figures 10 and 11, when the cover body 21 is in the open position, the cylindrical opening 21b is located at the front of the cylindrical portion 21a. As a result, the cylindrical opening 21b is connected to the main body opening 12a of the panel body 11 in the front-to-back direction D1, and the inside of the panel body 11 is opened through the cylindrical opening 21b and the main body opening 12a.

[0071] Thus, in the elevator electrical panel 4, as shown in Figures 9 to 11, The cover body 21 includes a cylindrical portion 21a that is arranged along the entire circumferential length of the main body 11 of the panel, The cylindrical portion 21a is The cover portion 23 and, The cover body 21 is provided with a cylindrical opening 21b that, when in the open position, communicates with the main body opening 12a in the front-rear direction D1, thereby opening the inside of the panel body 11. This configuration is also acceptable.

[0072] With this configuration, when the cover body 21 is in the closed position, the cover portion 23 of the cylindrical portion 21a covers the main body opening 12a from the front. On the other hand, when the cover body 21 is in the open position, the inside of the panel body 11 is open through the cylindrical opening 21b and the main body opening 12a.

[0073] (C) In addition, in the elevator electrical panel 4 according to the above embodiment, the guide portion 41 is configured to extend along the direction of movement of the cover bodies 21 and 22 in order to guide the lower part of the cover bodies 21 and 22 (specifically, the guided portion 26 connected to the lower part of the cover portion 23) from below. However, the elevator electrical panel 4 is not limited to this configuration.

[0074] For example, the guide portion 41 may be configured to guide the intermediate portion of the cover bodies 21 and 22 in the vertical direction D3 from below. In such a configuration, for example, the guided portion 26 may be connected to the intermediate portion of the cover portion 23 in the vertical direction D3. Alternatively, for example, the elevator electrical panel 4 may not have a guide portion 41 that guides the cover bodies 21 and 22 from below.

[0075] (D) In ​​addition, in the elevator electrical panel 4 according to the above embodiment, the cover bodies 21 and 22 are elastically deformable in the vertical direction D3 and are equipped with an elastic part 27 that connects the guided part 26 and the cover part 23. However, the elevator electrical panel 4 is not limited to this configuration. For example, the cover bodies 21 and 22 may not be equipped with an elastic part 27, and the guided part 26 may be fixed immovably to the cover part 23.

[0076] (E) In addition, in the elevator electrical panel 4 according to the above embodiment, the open holding portion 42 is configured to protrude upward in order to stop the guided portion 26 of the cover bodies 21 and 22, which are in the open position, in the direction of movement. However, the elevator electrical panel 4 is not limited to this configuration.

[0077] (E-1) For example, the open-holding part 42 may be configured to hold the cover bodies 21 and 22 in the open position by magnetic force. Although not particularly limited, for example, the open-holding part 42 may be configured to include a first magnet attached to the main body 11 and a second magnet attached to the cover bodies 21 and 22, which is attracted to the first magnet 52a when the cover bodies 21 and 22 are in the open position.

[0078] (E-2) Alternatively, for example, the open-holding section 42 may be configured to hold the cover bodies 21 and 22 in the open position by a locking mechanism. Although not particularly limited, for example, the open-holding section 42 may be configured to include a first locking member attached to the panel body 11 and a second locking member attached to the cover bodies 21 and 22, which can be locked to the first locking member manually or automatically when the cover bodies 21 and 22 are in the open position.

[0079] (F) Alternatively, for example, the elevator electrical panel 4 may be configured to include a closed position detection unit that detects when the cover bodies 21 and 22 are in the closed position. The closed position detection unit is not particularly limited, but may be various sensors (e.g., photoelectric sensors, contact sensors, proximity sensors, etc.).

[0080] Furthermore, the processing unit 1b may be configured such that it permits the movement of the car 2 when the closed position detection unit detects the cover bodies 21 and 22, and does not permit the movement of the car 2 when the closed position detection unit does not detect the cover bodies 21 and 22. With such a configuration, the cover bodies 21 and 22 can be reliably positioned in the closed position when starting normal operation of the car 2.

[0081] (G) For example, the execution order of each step, such as the operation, procedure, step, and stage, in the method and apparatus shown in the claims, specification, and drawings can be carried out in any order, as long as the result of the previous step is not used in the later step. For example, even if "first," "next," etc. are used for convenience in the explanation, it does not mean that it is necessary to perform them in that order. [Explanation of Symbols]
