Abstract:
A method in the management of data relating to an elevator structure is provided, wherein data is collected about the structures of the elevator, and the collected data is recorded in memory. In the method, a database is formed about a plurality of known devices of elevators, said database including device-specific information, the structures of an elevator are scanned with scanning apparatus, which collects scanning data relating to the shape of the structures being scanned and/or the surface patterning of the structures, the scanning data is compared to the data of the aforementioned database, the type and/or mark of the device of an elevator are deduced if a correspondence to the scanning data is found from the aforementioned database, the type and/or mark of the aforementioned device is linked to form at least a part of the data that is in the database and is linked to the elevator-identification of the elevator in question, which database comprises a plurality of elevator-identifications and the data of an identified elevator connected to each elevator-identification
Abstract:
An elevator arrangement includes a plurality of elevators in a building, which plurality includes a plurality of zoned elevators moving in an elevator hoistway, which have different ranges of movement of the elevator car in the building to each other, and which zoned elevators each have a top limit and a bottom limit of the range of movement of the elevator car, to above the top limit and to below the bottom limit of which range of movement travel of the elevator car of the zoned elevator in question is prevented. The vertical location, in relation to the building, of the top limit and/or bottom limit of the range of movement of the elevator car of each aforementioned zoned elevator can be changed. The arrangement also comprises a lobby elevator, the range of movement of the elevator car of which differs from the ranges of movement of the elevator cars of the aforementioned zoned elevators, and the stopping floors of the lobby elevator comprise a plurality of lobby floors, each of which is a stopping floor of one or more zoned elevators belonging to the aforementioned zoned elevator plurality. A method is provided for re-adjusting the elevator arrangement, wherein the range of movement of the elevator car of the zoned elevator in question is changed to reach to a different height in the elevator hoistway by changing the vertical location in relation to the building of the top limit and/or the bottom limit of the range of movement of the elevator car of the zoned elevator in question.
Abstract:
The object of the invention is a method for replacing the elevator ropes in an elevator provided with at least a hoisting machine (3), a traction sheave (4) and a counterweight (6), wherein the elevator car (1) is supported with elevator ropes (2) and which elevator comprises compensating ropes (8). In connection with the first rope replacement the compensating ropes (8) are converted into the hoisting ropes of the elevator and at least a part of the hoisting ropes (2) are converted into the compensating ropes of the elevator.
Abstract:
A travelling cable of an elevator, more particularly of a passenger transport elevator and/or freight transport elevator, includes a protective envelope, conductors for transmitting electrical energy and data between the elevator car and the elevator hoistway, and one or more load-bearing bearer parts of essentially the length of the travelling cable for fixing the travelling cable at its first end to the elevator car and at its second end to the elevator hoistway, and which bearer part includes glass-fiber reinforcements and/or aramid-fiber reinforcements and/or carbon-fiber reinforcements and/or polybenzoxazole-fiber reinforcements and/or polyethylene-fiber reinforcements and/or nylon-fiber reinforcements in a polymer matrix material. An elevator includes the travelling cable.
Abstract:
Elevator, which includes at least an elevator car and a device for moving the elevator car, preferably along guide rails, and a counterweight, and one or more ropes, which rope connects the elevator car and the counterweight and is separate from the supporting function and passes around a diverting pulley mounted on the bottom end of the elevator hoistway. The rope comprises a power transmission part or a plurality of power transmission parts, for transmitting power in the longitudinal direction of the rope, which power transmission part is essentially fully of non-metallic material.
