Abstract: A speed control method of an elevator-purpose comprising previously calculating an elevating distance in such a case that the elevator passenger car is decelerated from a reference frequency up to a leveling frequency in a constant deceleration speed, when the induction motor is stopped. The elevator passenger car is driven in a constant speed at an intermediate frequency so that the previously calculated distance becomes equal to an elevating distance when the elevator passenger car is decelerated at the constant deceleration speed from an arbitrary frequency up to the leveling frequency so as to adjust the elevating distance. The elevator passenger car is automatically decelerated at the constant deceleration speed up to the leveling frequency.

Abstract: In order to improve comfortable conditions of an elevator passenger car which are deteriorated by changes in gravity and vibrations since the elevator passenger car is rapidly decelerated, a speed control method and a speed control apparatus are provided which are capable of increasing floor arriving precision even when a set value of an arbitrary frequency is changed.
