(54) CLIP DEVICE FOR ELEVATOR AND SUPPORT DEVICE FOR ELEVATOR


(57) There is provided a clip device for an elevator that can be easily applied also to a location where the attachment state thereof cannot be checked visually as in the case where a lifting beam is installed in a top portion of a shaft, and can properly hold a held member by a simple procedure. For this purpose, in the clip device for an elevator, which is used for holding the held member to a shaft fixing member of the elevator, a convex part projecting from an opposed face opposed to a part of the held member is provided on the opposed face. When the clip device is fixed, the convex part is disposed in a concave part formed in the part of the held member.




Description

Technical Field



[0001] The present invention relates to a clip device for holding a lifting beam, a guide rail, and the like in an elevator shaft, and a support device for supporting equipment installed in the elevator shaft.

Background Art



[0002] A car and a counterweight moving up and down in the elevator shaft are guided in the moving direction by the guide rail erected in the shaft. This guide rail is held at a predetermined position in the shaft by fixing a bracket provided on the shaft wall side and a bracket provided on the guide rail side to each other by bolting or welding.

[0003] The bracket provided on the guide rail side is fixed to the guide rail by using a small-size fixture called a rail clip (for example, refer to Patent Documents 1 to 3).
This rail clip is generally bolted to the bracket at the side of the guide rail, and holds a flange portion of the guide rail between the rail clip and the bracket firmly, whereby the guide rail is held by the frictional force. That is, in the case where the guide rail is erected in the shaft by using the rail clip described in Patent Documents 1 to 3, a hole for fixing need not be formed in the flange portion of the guide rail.

[0004] In the case where the hole for fixing is formed in the flange portion of the guide rail to fix the guide rail, there arise some problems described below.
The position of the hole formed in the flange portion of the guide rail differs according to the installation site of elevator. Therefore, if the hole for fixing is formed in the flange portion, there arises a problem of remarkably decreased productivity of guide rail.

[0005] Further, depending on the elevator installation site, in some case, the site has not been constructed as per the building drawings. In such a case, it is necessary to cut the guide rail at the site so as to match the actual construction state. Alternatively it is necessary to make site investigation before the manufacture of guide rail, and to manufacture the guide rail based on the result of actual measurement at the site.

[0006] To cut the guide rail at the site, the worker for installing the elevator must bring a cutter for cutting the guide rail into the site. Therefore, there arises a problem that the worker's burden is heavy, and the installation workability decreases remarkably. On the other hand, in the case where the site investigation is made before the manufacture of guide rail, time for the site investigation must be secured, so that the elevator installation process delays significantly. Also, in the site investigation, the dimensions must be measured exactly by assembling a scaffold newly in the shaft. Therefore, all of the burden, time, and cost required for the site investigation increase significantly.

[0007]  In view of the above circumstances, the rail clip as described in Patent Documents 1 to 3 has been used widely. This rail clip has been convertedly used and actively used as fixing means for fixing a location where direct fastening using a bolt cannot be performed or a location where direct fastening is difficult to perform because the hole for fixing need not be formed in the held member (in the above-described example, the guide rail).
Hereunder, the specific example is explained.

[0008] Figure 6 is a front view showing an essential portion of a conventional support device for an elevator, and Figure 7 is a longitudinal sectional view of the support device for an elevator shown in Figure 6. These figures show a state in which a lifting beam 25 is provided in a top portion of a shaft 1 by using a clip device 24 having the same configuration as that of the above-described rail clip. Specifically, a bracket 26 is provided in the top portion of the shaft 1, and the lifting beam 25 is fixed to the bracket 26 by using the clip devices 24.

[0009] The lifting beam 25 is actively used as a lifting member at the time when various items of equipment arranged in the shaft 1 are lifted when the elevator is being installed, and as supporting means for supporting equipment arranged in the top portion of the shaft 1 when the elevator is being installed and has been installed. Therefore, when the elevator is being installed, the lifting beam 25 must be mounted at a proper position at the first stage of installation procedure. Also, since some equipment for the elevator must be arranged near a ceiling portion of the shaft 1, the lifting beam 25 is preferably mounted at the highest possible position in the shaft 1. That is, if the lifting beam 25 is mounted in the top portion of the shaft 1, even when equipment to be mounted at a high position is installed, the lifting beam 25 can be used for installation work. Therefore, a burden required for the installation work can be alleviated significantly.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention



[0011] Usually, the clip device 24 must be attached at a proper orientation, and if not being attached at the proper orientation, the clip device 24 cannot fully achieve the holding capability. Therefore, as shown in Figures 6 and 7, when the lifting beam 25 is fixed by using the clip device 24, it must be checked whether or not the clip device 24 has been attached properly by looking the clip device 24 from the upside after the clip device 24 has been attached.

[0012] Figure 8 is a sectional view showing a state in which the conventional clip device has been attached properly, and Figure 9 is a sectional view showing a state in which the conventional clip device has been attached wrongly. In Figures 8 and 9, the left-hand side shows a view taken along the line D-D of Figure 6, and the right-hand side shows a view taken along the line E-E of Figure 6.
The worker who installs the elevator visually checks, from the upside, that the clip device 24 has been attached properly toward the lifting beam 25 as shown in Figure 8. If the clip device 24 has been fixed slantwise with respect to the lifting beam 25 as shown in Figure 9, the worker must re-fix the clip device 24 properly.

[0013] Thus, in the case where the clip device 24 having the same configuration as that of the above-described rail clip is used, the application of the clip device 24 is limited to a location where the attachment state thereof can be checked visually. Therefore, depending on the arrangement of the lifting beam 25, the clip device 24 cannot be used because of the above-described limitation of application, so that in order to fix the lifting beam 25, any other method such as welding or bolting must be employed.

[0014] Figure 10 is a front view showing an essential portion of another example of the conventional support device for an elevator, and Figure 11 is a longitudinal sectional view of the support device for an elevator shown in Figure 10. Figures 10 and 11 show the case where the lifting beam 25 is fixed by welding.
The welding work can be performed by a qualified person only. Therefore, in the case where the lifting beam 25 is fixed to the bracket 26 by welding, there arises a problem that the worker is limited to a person qualified for the welding work. Also, in the case where the lifting beam 25 is fixed by welding, as in the case where the clip device 24 is used for fixing, the worked state (that is, a weld portion 27) after the work must be checked visually. Therefore, as in the case where the clip device 24 is used for fixing, there arises a problem that the fixing location is limited to a location where the worked state after welding can be checked visually.

[0015] In the case where the lifting beam 25 is fixed with bolts by forming holes for fixing in the lifting beam 25, the same problem as that in the case where the above-described guide rail is fixed occurs.

[0016] The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a clip device for an elevator, which can be easily applied also to a location where the attachment state thereof cannot be checked visually as in the case where a lifting beam is installed in a top portion of a shaft, and can properly hold a held member by a simple procedure, and a support device for an elevator using the clip device.

[0023] The present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. In each of the drawings, like numerals refer to like or similar parts and redundant descriptions of these parts are appropriately simplified or omitted.

First Embodiment



[0024] Figure 1 is a front view of a support device for an elevator in a first embodiment according to the present invention, Figure 2 is a longitudinal sectional view of the support device for an elevator shown in Figure 1, and Figure 3 is a transverse sectional view of the support device for an elevator shown in Figure 1. Figure 2 is a view taken along the line A-A of Figure 1. Also, the upper side of Figure 3 shows a view taken along the line B-B of Figure 1, and the lower side of Figure 3 shows a view taken along the line C-C of Figure 1. Figures 4 and 5 are sectional views for explaining the function of the clip device for an elevator in the first embodiment according to the present invention.

[0025] In Figures 1 to 5, reference numeral 1 denotes an elevator shaft formed in a building having a rigid building structure, 2 denotes a shaft wall on one side that partitions the shaft 1,3 denotes a shaft wall on the other side that is opposed to the shaft wall 2, and 4 denotes a ceiling of the shaft 1.

[0026] In a top portion of the shaft 1, a lifting beam 5 having a predetermined length is provided horizontally. The lifting beam 5 is actively used as a lifting member at the time when various items of equipment arranged in the shaft 1 are lifted when the elevator is being installed, and as supporting means for supporting equipment arranged in the top portion of the shaft 1 when the elevator is being installed and has been installed. The lifting beam 5 is formed of a steel material having an I-shaped transverse cross section or the like, and is supported on the shaft walls 2 and 3 in the top portion of the shaft 1. Also, the lifting beam 5 is longitudinally arranged in the direction such that the shaft walls 2 and 3 are opposed to each other, and the top surface thereof is arranged so as to be close to the ceiling 3.

[0027] Specifically, one end portion of the lifting beam 5 is supported on the shaft wall 2 via a bracket 6 and clip devices 7, and the other end portion thereof is supported on the shaft wall 3 via a bracket 8 and clip devices 9.
The bracket 6 is formed, for example, by bending a plate-shaped member into an L shape, and one side of the L shape is fixed to the shaft wall 2 in the top portion of the shaft 1, whereby the other side of the L shape is arranged so as to project horizontally from the shaft wall 2 into the shaft 1. Reference numeral 10 denotes an anchor bolt provided on the shaft wall 2 in the top portion of the shaft 1, and 11 denotes a nut. The one side of the bracket 6 is fixed firmly to the shaft wall 2 by using the anchor bolts 10 and the nuts 11.

[0028] One end portion of the lifting beam 5 is placed on the upper surface of the other side of the bracket 6, and is held to the bracket 6 by the clip devices 7.

[0029]  The clip device 7 for holding the lifting beam 5 includes a body part 12 and fixing means for fixing the body part 12 to the bracket 6.
The fixing means of this embodiment is configured by a set of bolt 13 and nut 14. The bolt 13 is inserted through a mount hole (through hole) 15 formed in the body part 12 and a through hole (not shown) formed on the other side of the bracket 6, and under the other side of the bracket 6, the nut 14 is installed on the threaded portion of the bolt 13. The bolt 13 is tightened in this state, whereby the body part 12 and the other side of the bracket 6 are held from the upside and downside by the head portion of the bolt 13 and the nut 14 to fix the body part 12 to the bracket 6.

[0030] The body part 12 of the clip device 7 is provided with pushing parts 16 and 17 and a guide part 18.
The pushing part 16 is a part that pushes the upper surface of the bracket 6 to the downside when the body part 12 is fixed to the bracket 6. That is, by tightening the bolt 13 to fix the body part 12 to the bracket 6, the pushing part 16 is pushed against the upper surface of the bracket 6. At this time, the lower end portion of the pushing part 16 cuts into the upper surface of the bracket 6, whereby the body part 12 is held firmly to the bracket 6.

[0031] The pushing part 17 is a part that pushes an edge portion of a portion placed on the bracket 6 of the lifting beam 5 to the downside (the upper surface side of the bracket 6) when the body part 12 is fixed to the bracket 6. That is, in the case where the lifting beam 5 is held to the bracket 6 by using the clip device 7, the pushing part 17 is put on the upper surface of the edge portion from the upside, whereby the edge portion of the lifting beam 5 is held between the pushing part 17 and the upper surface on the other side of the bracket 6. By tightening the bolt 13 in this state, the body part 12 is fixed to the bracket 6. Thereby, the edge portion of the lifting beam 5 is pushed against the upper surface of the bracket 6 by the pushing part 17, and is held firmly by friction.

[0032] The guide part 18 has a function of disposing the body part 12 at a proper attachment orientation when the lifting beam 5 is held to the bracket 6 by the clip device 7. The body part 12 must be disposed at the proper attachment orientation. Unless the body part 12 is disposed at the proper attachment orientation, the clip device 7 cannot fully achieve the holding capability. That is, by the function of this guide part 18, the pushing part 17 is disposed in the correct direction (hereinafter, referred to as the "regular direction") for pushing the edge portion of the lifting beam 5 with respect to the lifting beam 5.

[0033] Specifically, the guide part 18 is provided with an opposed face 19 that is opposed to the edge portion of the lifting beam 5. By bringing the opposed face 19 into face contact with the end face of the edge portion of the lifting beam 5, the body part 12 can be disposed in the correct direction with respect to the lifting beam 5, that is, the pushing part 17 can be disposed in the regular direction with respect to the lifting beam 5. The end face of the edge portion of the lifting beam 5, with which the opposed face 19 comes into contact, is set to, for example, a plane parallel with the longitudinal direction of the lifting beam 5 considering the workability and the like at the time when the lifting beam 5 is installed.

[0034]  On the opposed face 19 of the guide part 18, a convex part 20 projecting from the opposed face 19 is formed in the central portion thereof. This convex part 20 has both of a function of positioning the body part 12 (the clip device 7) with respect to the lifting beam 5 and a function of locking at the time when the body part 12 is fixed by the bolt 13. To realize the functions, the lifting beam 5 is formed with a concave part 21 fitting to the convex part 20 in the edge portion held by the clip device 7. When the body part 12 is fixed properly in such a manner that the opposed face 19 is in face contact with the end face of the edge portion of the lifting beam 5, the convex part 20 engages with the concave part 21 as shown in Figure 3, and is disposed in the concave part 21.

[0035] Figures 3 to 5 show the case where the convex part 20 takes a triangular shape projecting from the opposed face 19. In such a case, the concave part 21 is configured, for example, by a triangular notch corresponding to the shape of the convex part 20. The shapes of the convex part 20 and the concave part 21 are not limited to the above-described ones, and the convex part 20 and the concave part 21 can take any shape as far as the above-described functions can be realized. For example, the convex part 20 may be of a semispherical shape, a rectangular shape, or the like shape in addition to the above-described triangular shape. Also, the concave part 21 may be configured by a concavity (hole) formed in the predetermined face in addition to the above-described notch.

[0036] On the other hand, the bracket 8 and the clip device 9 for holding the other end portion side of the lifting beam 5 have the same configurations as those of the bracket 6 and the clip device 7. Reference numeral 22 denotes an anchor bolt projecting from the shaft wall 3 into the shaft 1, and 23 denotes a nut for fixing the bracket 8 to the shaft wall 3 in the top portion of the shaft 1 using the anchor bolt 22.

[0037] Next, there is explained a procedure for installing the lifting beam 5 to the top portion of the shaft 1 by using the clip devices 7 and 9 each having the above-described configuration.
The installation worker fixes the brackets 6 and 8 beforehand to the top portion of the shaft 1. One end portion of the lifting beam 5 is placed on the upper surface of the bracket 6, and the other end portion thereof is placed on the upper surface of the bracket 8, whereby the lifting beam 5 is set between the brackets 6 and 8.

[0038] Next, the body part 12 of the clip device 7 is temporarily fixed to the bracket 6 by using the bolt 13 and the nut 14. At this time, the clip device 7 is disposed on both sides of one end portion of the lifting beam 5 as shown in Figure 2, and the pushing part 17 of the body part 12 is placed on one end portion of the lifting beam 5.
Also, in the same way as described above, the clip device 9 is temporarily fixed to the bracket 8, and the clip device 9 is disposed on both sides of the other end portion of the lifting beam 5.

[0039] After the clip devices 7 and 9 have been temporarily fixed, the lifting beam 5 is slidingly moved in the longitudinal direction thereof while the clip devices 7 and 9 are arranged in the above-described state, and is disposed at a proper position. Specifically, the lifting beam 5 is slid while one of the clip devices 7 and 9 is pressed lightly against the lifting beam 5, and when the convex part 20 of the body part 12 engages with the concave part 21, the sliding of the lifting beam 5 is stopped. Since the clip devices 7 and 9 are temporarily fixed to both sides of the lifting beam 5, the lifting beam 5 can be moved easily in the longitudinal direction thereof. Also, whether or not the convex part 20 engages with the concave part 21 can be judged easily from the feeling. Therefore, even if a visual check is not made, the lifting beam 5 can be positioned exactly and easily.

[0040] After the lifting beam 5 has been moved to the proper position, the lifting beam 5 is held to the bracket 6 by performing work for fixing the clip devices 7 and 9. Specifically, the body part 12 is pushed against the lifting beam 5 side in the state in which the convex part 20 is engaged with the concave part 21, and the opposed face 19 is brought into face contact with a predetermined face of the lifting beam 5. Then, the bolt 13 is tightened while this state is maintained, and the body part 12 and the bracket 6 (or 8) are held from the upside and downside by the head portion of the bolt 13 and the nut 14.
To respond to the attachment positions of the clip devices 7 and 9 flexibly, a plurality of concave parts 21 may be formed at the same orientation in the end faces of the lifting beam 5 to which the opposed faces 19 are opposed.

[0041] In the work for fixing the clip devices 7 and 9, when the bolt 13 is tightened, a force of rotating the body part 12 in the tightening direction of the bolt 13 acts on the body part 12. However, since the convex part 20 engages with the concave part 21, if the body part 12 rotates in the tightening direction of the bolt 13 even very slightly, the convex part 20 comes into contact with the inner side face of the concave part 21 (including the edge portion of the concave part 21), whereby the rotating operation is inhibited. Therefore, after the clip devices 7 and 9 have been fixed, it is unnecessary to visually check whether or not the body part 12 has been attached properly, and it can be judged easily that the pushing part 17 has been arranged in the regular direction with respect to the lifting beam 5.

[0042] According to the first embodiment of the present invention, even in the case where the installation position of the lifting beam 5 is high, and the lifting beam 5 is located close to the ceiling 4, the lifting beam 5 can be held easily and properly to the brackets 6 and 8. That is, if the clip device 7 (and 9) having the above-described configuration is used, it can be judged properly, without the need for visual check, that the lifting beam 5 has been arranged at a proper position and that the body part 12 is positioned properly toward the lifting beam 5 after the bolt 13 has been tightened.

[0043] In this embodiment, as one example of the application of the clip device 7 (and 9) having the above-described configuration, explanation has been given of the case where the lifting beam 5 is installed in the top portion of the shaft 1, However, the application is not limited to the above-described one. The clip device can be applied to various held members that are held to a member fixed to the elevator shaft 1 (fixing member). Also, the application is not limited to a location where the attachment state cannot be checked visually. Therefore, a guide rail may be fixed by using the clip device 7 (and 9). However, the clip device 7 (and 9) can be especially effective means in a location where the fixing work itself can be performed and a visual check cannot be made.
