  • Patent number: 11465879
    Abstract: During a maintenance inspection, an optical rope diameter measuring device is provided at a predetermined position along a path of a wire rope, rope diameter is measured at multiple measuring points while the elevator is driven in test mode, and diameter reduction at each measuring point is determined and stored as a first diameter reduction (S2_S6). During a subsequent maintenance inspection, rope diameter is similarly measured at each measuring point to determine diameter reduction constituting a second diameter reduction (S7_S11). Based on these two diameter reductions, the time at which diameter reduction will reach a predetermined threshold value is predicted for each measuring point, and the earliest time is displayed as a rope replacement time (S12_S14).

  • Patent number: 10684120
    Abstract: A wired-rope measuring device, provided with two cameras 1, 2 that shoot one or no less than two wired ropes 8 from different directions and an analyzing device 5 that analyzes image data that is an image shot by the two cameras 1, 2, wherein the analyzing device 5 applies the principle of triangulation by a stereo method to the image data to seek a center coordinate P0 of the wired rope 8 relative to the cameras 1, 2 and volumetric anamorphosis is corrected when calculating a diameter D of the wired rope 8 based on the center coordinate P0 of the wired rope 8.
