    摘要: A break detection device includes an extraction unit (22), an extraction unit (23), a detection unit (24), and a determination unit (26). The extraction unit (22) extracts, from an output signal from a sensor, a vibration component in a specific frequency band. The extraction unit (23) attenuates, from the vibration component extracted by the extraction unit (22), a steady vibration component and a progressively increasing vibration component to extract a determination signal. The detection unit (24) detects, on the basis of the determination signal, occurrence of an abnormal variation in the output signal from the sensor. The determination unit (26) determines whether or not a rope has a broken portion.

    摘要: A governor assembly for an elevator system. The governor assembly includes: a sheave configured to rotate about a central axis (X-X) thereof at a speed related to the speed of movement of an elevator car; a plurality of masses mounted to the sheave for rotation therewith about the central axis (X-X) and configured to move from a first radial position to a second radial position, radially outward of the first radial position, when a speed of rotation of the sheave meets or exceeds a set speed; a sensor configured to detect that the plurality of masses have reached the second radial position; and a brake moveable from a non-braking position in which the sheave is free to rotate to a braking position in which the brake contacts the sheave so as to slow or stop rotation of the sheave.

    摘要: The invention discloses a wear monitoring system for a brake device of a motor. The brake device includes a brake disc and a brake magnet movable relative to the brake disc. The wear monitoring system includes a first arm portion including a first free end and arranged to be moved with the brake magnet so that the first free end always contacts the bottom of the brake magnet, a second arm portion arranged to be moved with the first arm portion and including a second free end; and a trigger device including a trigger button that is triggered by the second free end of the second arm portion when the wear amount of the brake magnet reaches a first threshold or a multiple of the first threshold and when the brake magnet and the brake disc are in an attracted state. A motor and an elevator are also disclosed.

    摘要: An elevator includes an elevator shaft defined by surrounding walls and top and bottom end terminals; an elevator car vertically movable in the elevator shaft; elevator hoisting ropes coupled to the elevator car; an elevator hoisting machine including a traction sheave engaged with the elevator hoisting ropes; a traction monitor configured to determine traction of the hoisting machine; an electromechanical brake; a measuring apparatus adapted to provide speed data and position data of the elevator car; and a safety processor associated with the traction monitor and the measuring apparatus. The safety processor includes an ETLS threshold configured to decrease towards the top and/or bottom end terminal in accordance with the position of the elevator car. The ETSL threshold is adjusted on the basis of the traction of the hoisting machine. The safety processor is configured to determine an elevator car slowdown failure if the speed data meets or exceeds the ETSL threshold.

    摘要: A method for controlling movement of an elevator car includes driving the car vertically to a landing; activating a park brake; and holding the car immovable with the park brake. The holding includes compressing a guide rail by compression members with a first compression force; opening a door for allowing loading and/or unloading the car; maintaining the door open for allowing loading and/or unloading the car while the car is held immovable; and starting closing movement of the door. After the starting closing movement of the door, relieving the brake for allowing the elevator car to start to move vertically. The relieving includes reducing the compression force of the brake, to be smaller than the first compression force, such that the compression members start sliding vertically against the guide rail; maintaining compression with a smaller compression force than the first compression force, allowing the compression members to continue to slide vertically against the guide rail; and thereafter removing the compression.
