The present invention relates to an elevator landing sill device for fixing a landing sill to a hoistway wall. More specifically, the present invention relates to an elevator landing sill device configured to seal the gap between the hoistway wall and the landing sill to prevent inflow of mortar used for finishing the landing floor from the gap to the inside of the hoistway, and relates to an elevator device equipped with the elevator landing sill device.
The generally employed elevator landing sill device has been disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2009-84029 (PTL 1).
PTL 1 discloses the elevator landing sill device as described in claim 1 to be cited below. The elevator landing sill device includes a landing sill provided along a lower edge of a landing opening for guiding opening and closing operations of a landing door, a fixture that is fixed to a hoistway wall at the landing opening side using a first fastener including bolts, to which the landing sill is fixed using a second fastener including bolts, and a partition member that is held between the fixture and the landing sill, and fastened to the fixture jointly with the landing sill using the second fastener. The partition member seals a gap between the hoistway wall and the landing sill to prevent inflow of mortar used for finishing the landing floor to the inside of the hoistway from the gap. The fixture includes a wall-side member that is fixed to the hoistway wall using the first fastener, and a sill-side member to which the landing sill is fixed using the second fastener. The wall-side member and the sill-side member are joined to allow positional adjustment of the sill-side member in a height direction and a depth direction of the hoistway. The partition member includes a first held plate to be held between the hoistway wall and the wall-side member, and a second held plate to be held between the sill-side member and the landing sill. The first held plate has a first relief part formed to accommodate insertion of the bolt as the first fastener, and to allow change in the position of the first held plate to the bolt in the height direction. The second held plate has a second relief part formed to accommodate insertion of the bolt as the second fastener, and to allow change in the position of the bolt to the second held plate in the depth direction of the hoistway.
However, the landing sill device as disclosed in PTL 1 has the first held plate and the second held plate fixedly combined to constitute the partition member, and the first held plate is fixed to the vertical surface of the hoistway wall using the fastener. This may cause difficulty in provision of the partition member in the presence of a large dimension error of the building. There may be the case where the second held plate constituting the partition member protrudes from the side surface of the landing sill toward the hoistway, resulting in the problem of contact with the car.
An object of the present invention is to provide the elevator landing sill device, and the elevator device equipped with the same. Specifically, the elevator landing sill device can easily seal the gap between the landing sill and the hoistway wall without causing protrusion of the partition member toward the hoistway side even in the presence of the large dimension error of the building in the height direction and the depth direction of the hoistway so that outflow of the mortar to the inside of the hoistway can be prevented.
In order to attain the above-described object, the present invention provides an elevator landing sill device having a hoistway provided in a building for moving a car up and down, a landing opening formed at a hoistway side of the building, a landing sill disposed along a lower edge of the landing opening for guiding opening and closing operations of a landing door, and a fixture that is fixed to a hoistway wall of the building, having an upper part to which the landing sill is attached. The elevator landing sill device includes a partition member for sealing a gap between the landing sill and the hoistway wall. The partition member includes a center plate, a building-side mount part attached to one end of the center plate, a sill-side mount part attached to the other end of the center plate, a building-side rotating part for rotatably fixing the center plate and the building-side mount part, and a sill-side rotating part for rotatably fixing the center plate and the sill-side mount part. The device further includes a building-side fastener for fixing the building-side mount part to the building, and a sill-side fastener for fixing the sill-side mount part to the landing sill.
The present invention also provides an elevator device including a car which moves up and down in a hoistway of a building, a hoist for moving the car up and down, and an elevator landing sill device which is provided along a lower edge of a landing opening at a hoistway side of the building for guiding opening and closing operations of a landing door. The elevator landing sill device is the elevator landing sill device as described above.
The present invention provides the elevator landing sill device, and the elevator device equipped with the same. The elevator landing sill device is effective for easily sealing the gap between the landing sill and the hoistway wall without causing protrusion of the partition member toward the hoistway side even in the presence of the large dimension error of the building in the height direction and the depth direction of the hoistway so that outflow of the mortar to the inside of the hoistway can be prevented.
Specific examples of the elevator landing sill device according to the present invention will be described referring to the drawings. In the drawings, the same or similar parts are designated with the same codes.
Referring to the schematic sectional view of
A landing door 10 to be operated in association with opening and closing operations of a car door of the car 4 is provided on a landing 9 of each floor at a side of the hoistway 3. A lower end of the landing door 10 is slidably supported by a landing sill device A to be described later.
The following explanation will be made by defining the depth direction of the hoistway 3 as x-direction, the opening/closing direction of the landing door 10 as y-direction, and the lifting/lowering direction of the car 4 as z-direction.

Each of the fixtures 13A, 13B, 13C has the same structure. A detailed explanation will be made with respect to the structure referring to
The wall-side member 13a includes a plate-like fixing margin 13aa which is fixed to the hoistway wall 3a using the first fastener 14 while extending along the hoistway wall 3a, and a plate-like joining margin 13ab which is joined with the sill-side member 13b using the third fastener 16 while extending from the fixing margin 13aa parallel to the depth direction (left-right direction as shown in
The sill-side member 13b includes a plate-like joining margin 13bb which is joined using the third fastener 16 with the joining margin 13ab of the wall-side member 13a while being overlaid therewith, and a plate-like mounting margin 13ba which extends from the joining margin 13bb parallel to the left-right direction and the depth direction of the hoistway 3, to which the landing sill 12 is fastened using the second fastener 15.
The fixing margin 13aa of the wall-side member 13a has a bolt insertion part 13ac through which the anchor bolt 14a of the first fastener 14 is inserted. As
The joining margin 13ab of the wall-side member 13a has a bolt insertion part 13ad through which the bolt 16a of the third fastener 16 is inserted. The bolt insertion part 13ad is formed into a long hole which is long in the depth direction (x-direction) of the hoistway 3. This allows change in the relative position between the bolt 16a and the wall-side member 13a in the depth direction of the hoistway 3.
The joining margin 13bb of the sill-side member 13b has a bolt insertion part 13bc through which the bolt 16a of the third fastener 16 is inserted. The bolt insertion part 13bc is formed into a long hole which is long in the height direction (z-direction). This allows change in the relative position between the bolt 16a and the sill-side member 13b in the height direction. In other words, the wall-side member 13a and the sill-side member 13b are joined by means of the bolt insertion parts 13ad, 13bc so that the position of the sill-side member 13b can be adjusted in the height direction and the depth direction (x-direction; left-right direction of
As
Although not shown in the drawing, a floor surface finishing member such as carpet, tile, flooring for forming the floor surface is laid on the upper surface of the mortar 30. Since the heavy load such as a cart other than humans may pass through the landing opening, the thickness or strength of the partition member 20 is determined so that its deformation is kept within an allowable value despite passage of the maximum permissible heavy load conveyable by the elevator.
Referring to
The specific structure of the partition member 20 will be described referring to
The sill-side mount part 23 is fixed to a predetermined position of the lower surface of the landing sill 12 using the bolt 25. Preferably, the sill-side mount part 23 is structured to be in contact with the landing sill over an entire range in contact with the landing sill 12 in the left-right direction (y-direction) so as not to generate the gap. Preferably, the building-side mount part 22 is structured to be in contact with the hoistway wall 3a over an entire range in contact with the hoistway wall 3a in the left-right direction (y-direction) so as not to generate the gap. If the gap is unavoidably generated between the sill-side mount part 23 and the landing sill 12, or between the building-side mount part 22 and the hoistway wall 3a, it is preferable to provide the gap sealing member, for example, plastic sheet.
A positional relationship between the landing sill 12 and the building 2 is not constant. Dimension error of the building 2 makes the dimension between the hoistway wall 3a and the landing sill 12 variable. Even in the state where the sill-side mount part 23 is fixed to the landing sill 12, the partition member 20 of the example allows the position of the building-side mount part 22 to be freely changed by means of the two shafts 26, 27 in accordance with the dimension between the hoistway wall 3a and the landing sill 12. Accordingly, the anchor bolt 24 is driven into the hoistway wall 3a at a position corresponding to the building-side mount part 22 so that the building-side mount part 22 is vertically moved to be brought into tight contact with the hoistway wall 3a, and the anchor bolt 24 ensures to fix the building-side mount part 22 to the hoistway wall 3a, irrespective of the dimension between the hoistway wall 3a and the landing sill 12.
After fixing the partition member 20 to the hoistway wall 3a and the landing sill 12, as illustrated in
An explanation will be made with respect to a structure of the partition member 20 referring to
As
Multiple bolt holes 22b, 23b (three for each mount part in the example) are formed along the longitudinal direction of the partition member 20 (longitudinal direction of the landing sill 12; y-direction). The bolt hole 22b accommodates penetration of the anchor bolt 24 as illustrated in
The center plate 21, the building-side mount part 22, and the sill-side mount part 23 are combined as illustrated in
Referring to
The partition member 20 of the example allows the position of the building-side mount part 22 to be freely changed by means of the two shafts 26, 27 in accordance with the dimension between the hoistway wall 3a and the landing sill 12. The anchor bolt 24 is driven into the building 2 by positioning the building-side mount part 22 to be in tight contact with the hoistway wall 3a so that the partition member 20 can be constantly fixed in tight contact with the hoistway wall 3a and the landing sill 12 irrespective of the dimension therebetween. The example ensures to seal the gap between the hoistway wall 3a and the landing sill 12 easily and securely.
In the foregoing example, the shaft 26 for connecting the center plate 21 with the building-side mount part 22 of the partition member 20, and the shaft 27 for connecting the center plate 21 with the sill-side mount part 23 are separately formed as individual members. The partition member may be configured as illustrated in
The partition member 20 as illustrated in
The above-described structure allows the building-side mount part 22 and the sill-side mount part 23 to be rotatably attached to the center plate 21 by inserting the shaft parts 22c, 23c into the tubes 21a of the center plate 21, respectively.
Between the opposite side to the shaft part 22c of the tube 22a of the building-side mount part 22 to be inserted between the tubes 21a of the center plate 21 and the tubes 21a of the center plate 21, it is necessary to form an axial gap having the length equal to or longer than the length of the shaft part 22c protruding from the tube 22a so that the shaft part 22c can be inserted in the tube 21a. In this example, the length of the shaft part of the tube 22a or the tube 21a is shorter than that illustrated in
Similarly, between the opposite side to the shaft part 23c of the tube 23a of the sill-side mount part 23 inserted between the tubes 21a of the center plate 21 and the tubes 21a of the center plate 21, it is necessary to form an axial gap having the length equal to or longer than the length of the shaft part 23c protruding from the tube 23a so that the shaft part 23c can be inserted in the tube 21a.
In the case of potential leakage of the mortar 30 to the inside of the hoistway 3 from the gap in the pouring process even in the presence of the partition member 20 between the building 2 and the landing sill 12, the partition member 20 may be provided with the gap sealing member.
In the foregoing example, the bolt holes 22b, 23b formed in the building-side mount part 22 and the sill-side mount part 23 of the partition member 20 are formed into circular shapes. It is possible to form those bolt holes into long holes which are long in the short-length direction (direction perpendicular to the shafts 26, 27) of the building-side mount part 22 and the sill-side mount part 23 as illustrated in
As
The example as illustrated in
In the foregoing example, it is possible to easily bring the building-side mount part 22 of the partition member 20 into tight contact with the hoistway wall 3a, and the sill-side mount part 23 into tight contact with the lower surface of the landing sill 12 in spite of variation in the dimension between the hoistway wall 3a and the landing sill 12. The partition member 20 ensures to seal the gap between the hoistway wall 3a and the landing sill 12. It is therefore possible to prevent inflow of the mortar 30 to be poured into the landing floor side of the landing sill 12 for finishing the landing floor to the inside of the hoistway 3 from the gap between the hoistway wall 3a and the landing sill 12.
In the example, it is possible to seal the gap between the hoistway wall 3a and the landing sill 12 by easily making the partition member 20 adaptable to the relatively large dimension error of the building in the height direction (z-direction) and the depth direction of the hoistway 3 (x-direction). This may solve the conventional problem of protrusion of the partition member toward the hoistway 3 from the side surface of the landing sill.
The present invention includes various modifications without being limited to the foregoing example.
In the example, the partition member 20 is composed of three members, that is, the center plate 21, the building-side mount part 22, and the sill-side mount part 23. The partition member 20 may be composed of four or more members in total including multiple center plates 21. It is possible to use the corrugated plate as the center plate 21 instead of the flat plate. The building-side mount part 22 and the sill-side mount part 23 may be structured to have only mount parts while leaving peripheries of the bolt holes 22b, 23b with no limitation to rectangular plates.
In the example, as
The example has been described in detail for easy understanding of the present invention. Therefore, it is not necessarily limited to be configured to have all the components as described above.
