    摘要: An elevator car vertically guided along a hoistway rail has horizontal motions controlled by means of an actuator wherein horizontal acceleration of the elevator car and relative horizontal displacement between the car and the rail is sensed for controlling such horizontal motions by means of the actuator. Guiding means can be provided in the form of roller clusters at the corners of the car for engaging hoistway rails on opposite sides of the car wherein, for each roller cluster, plural actuators are included with accompanying springs wherein the roller cluster actuators are responsive to the controller for actuating the elevator car horizontally with respect to the hoistway rail. The roller cluster actuators can be electromagnets. Each wheel of the roller cluster can have stop means assocaiated therewith that is operable to limit the extent of movement of the guide wheel in a direction away from the guide rail.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for actively counteracting a disturbing force acting on a platform moving vertically in a hoistway is disclosed. A manifestation of the disturbing force such as rotational acceleration or translational accelerations indicative thereof is sensed and counteracted, for example, by effectively adding mass to the platform in proportion to the sensed acceleration. The rotations of the platform may be about a vertical axis, one or more horizontal axes or equivalents thereof. Counteraction may but need not be accomplished using an electromagnet actuator for actuating the platform in response to a control signal from a control means which is in turn responsive to the sensed signal. Whatever type of actuator is used, it may be used as well to bring the platform to rest with respect to a hoistway sill prior to transferring passengers. The control means may be analog or digital or a combination of both. A preferred analog-digital approach is disclosed in which the digital part is responsive to accelerometer signals, the analog part is responsive to a force command signal from the digital part and provides a position feedback signal in return. In a preferred embodiment, four electromagnet actuators are situated near the bottom of the platform. Each actuator may act along a line which intersects the walls of the car at a forty-five degree angle. A single axis embodiment is also disclosed.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for counteracting a disturbing force acting on an elevator platform in a hoistway comprises sensing the acceleration and position of the platform and applying a force between the platform and the hoistway in proportion to the magnitude of the acceleration signal, in proportion to the integral of the acceleration signal and in proportion to the position signal. The second position signal may be obtained from an electromagnet actuator wherein the sensed current may be divided by a sensed flux density signal multiplied by a transformation signal to obtain position. A force feedback signal may be obtained by squaring the flux density.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for actively counteracting a disturbing force acting on a suspended elevator cab moving vertically in a hoistway is disclosed. A manifestation of the disturbing force such as acceleration is sensed and counteracted, for example, by effectively exerting counterforces against the cab. The magnitude and phase of the counterforce is selected according to the magnitude and phase of the system response to a disturbing force. The invention may be carried out using an electromagnet actuator for actuating the suspended cab in response to a control signal from a control means which is in turn responsive to the sensed signal. The control means may be analog or digital or a combination of both. A preferred analog-digital approach is disclosed in which the digital part is responsive to accelerometer signals, the analog part is responsive to a force command signal from the digital part and provides a force feedback signal for comparison to the force command signal. In a pendulum car embodiment, three pairs of electromagnets form three actuators situated between the floor of the frame and the bottom of the suspended cab.

    摘要: A semi-active secondary suspension comprises a relatively large actuator for handling low-frequency forces such as those caused by uneven passenger distribution, etc., by means, for example, of a position control loop. A pair of such suspensions on opposite sides of the car or rail can be made to act in concert, for example, by actuating only one at a time. An inner loop can be added to the position control for each secondary suspension to restore its actuator to a selected preload position when not being used as an actuator. The semi-active secondary suspension is made fully active by adding a relatively small actuator for handling higher frequency dynamic forces. A roller guide embodiment has rollers pivotally mounted on links which are spring-biased toward the rail blades. The relatively large actuators are connected to the link springs to slowly increase or decrease the preload force on the spring acting on the links to counter low frequency disturbances. The relatively small actuators also act on the links to ensure that high frequency disturbances are quickly countered thereby ensuring a substantially vibration-free ride. Suspensions comprising slide guides, electromagnets, etc. are shown.

    摘要: An elevator cab assembly is provided with a rail guidance system which provides a substantially vibration-free ride despite uneven passenger loading. The guidance system includes side-to-side and front-to-back rail guide rollers which are adjustably mounted on the cab frame. The rail guide rollers are pivotally mounted on links which are spring-biased toward the guide rail blades. Stops are provided on the links to limit the extent of permissible pivotal movement of the rollers away from the guide rail blades. Actuators are connected to the link springs to selectively increase the spring pressure acting on the links when the pivot stops are engaged as a result of uneven passenger loading in the cab. The actuators ensure that the roller links do not ride against the stops, thereby ensuring a continuous spring biased engagement between the guide rollers and the guide rail blades, and a substantially vibration-free ride.

    摘要: A method of installing roller guides in an elevator system so as to be centered on their respective T-rails. In the case of an elevator using either and active or semi-active roller guide system, the method uses the position transducers that are part of the roller guide to indicate how to reposition the roller guide after it is loosely bolted and approximately positioned on the elevator car. For an elevator not using an active roller guide or semi-active roller guide, the present invention temporarily attaches position transducers to the roller guide before bolting the roller guide to the elevator car. These position transducers are removed after centering the roller guide on the T-rail.

    摘要: A contactless slide guide or magnetic bearing for guiding an elevator vertically along a hoistway rail has one or more electromagnet actuators spring-mounted within a yoke attached to the elevator car at a corner thereof. The positioning of the electromagnets within the yoke is such that they are positioned extremely close to the surface of the rail so as to form a magnetic bearing having a gap of just a few millimeters, and which is controlled in a position feedback control loop to keep the gap constant. The contactless slide guide may be used for low-rise buildings with a rigid connection between the yoke and the elevator, or may be used in conjunction with an active suspension system more typically used in mid- to high-rise buildings. The active suspension system may be used, for example, in conjunction with a pendulum car suspended within the elevator frame to which contactless slide guides are attached at the top and bottom. The active suspension is controlled with a feedback control system that is completely separate from the position control loops used to control the individual contactless slide guides.
