Abstract

In an elevator apparatus, a single car is raised and lowered by a plurality of hoisting machines. An elevator control device for controlling the hoisting machines generates speed commands separately for the hoisting machines. When a current value of one of the hoisting machines reaches a current set value, which is set in advance during acceleration of the car, the elevator control device applies the speed command for that one of the hoisting machines, whose current value has reached the current set value, to the other hoisting machine as well.

Claims (12)

1. An elevator apparatus, comprising:

a car;

a plurality of hoisting machines for raising and lowering the car; and

an elevator control device for controlling the hoisting machines,

wherein the elevator control device generates speed commands separately for the hoisting machines, and applies, when a current value of one of the hoisting machines reaches a current set value, which is set in advance during acceleration of the car, the speed command for that one of the hoisting machines, whose current value is at or above the current set value, to the other hoisting machine as well.

2. The elevator apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the elevator control device changes a jerk in each of the speed commands into 0 when the current value of a corresponding one of the hoisting machines reaches the current set value during acceleration of the car.

3. An elevator apparatus, comprising:

a car;

a plurality of hoisting machines for raising and lowering the car; and

an elevator control device for controlling the hoisting machines,

wherein the elevator control device generates speed commands separately for the hoisting machines, and applies, when a voltage value, which is applied to one of the hoisting machines, reaches a voltage set value, which is set in advance during acceleration of the car, the speed command for that one of the hoisting machines, whose voltage value is at or above the voltage set value, to the other hoisting machine as well.

4. The elevator apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein the elevator control device shifts a running state of the car to constant-speed running when the value of the voltage applied to one of the hoisting machines reaches the voltage set value during acceleration of the car.
