Abstract: Disclosed herein is a branch connecting structure for a hoistway cable. The structure includes a hoistway cable having a plurality of communication wires in a sheath. A branch cable connects each communication wire to a hall button or an indicator. A terminal block covers a first surface of the hoistway cable, and includes wire terminal members integrally having an input terminal and an output terminal. A branch block covers a first surface of the branch cable, and includes branch terminal members integrally having an input terminal and an output terminal. A first support block covers a second surface of the hoistway cable, and is compressed against the terminal block to be coupled thereto. A second support block covers a second surface of the branch cable, and is compressed against the branch block to be coupled thereto. A cover covers outer circumferences of the terminal block and the branch block.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a connection structure of a hoistway cable and a door interlock switch. The connection structure includes a hoistway cable, a connection wire, a terminal block, and a support block. The hoistway cable includes core wires in a sheath having a shape of a flat band. The core wires include a positive wire having a positive polarity, a negative wire having a negative polarity, and a ground wire for grounding. The connection wire connects any one of the core wires having polarities to both ends of the door interlock switch. The terminal block covers one surface of the hoistway cable, and includes two terminal members each having input and output terminal parts which are integrated with each other, and a cutting member cutting and insulating the core wire. The support block covers the other surface of the hoistway cable and is coupled to the terminal block.
