Abstract: An electrically driven actuator for opening and closing a valve comprises: an electric motor (1); a movable plate (8), to which a valve body is connected; a conversion mechanism (3) configured to convert a rotational motion of the electric motor (1) to a linear motion; a first biasing member (11) configured to bias the movable plate (8) toward a first direction; and a second biasing member (12) configured to bias the conversion mechanism (3) toward a second direction. The valve body is to be opened when a part of the conversion mechanism (3) linearly moves to move the movable plate (8) toward the second direction, and is to be closed when the first biasing member (11) biases the movable plate (8) toward the first direction. The conversion mechanism (3) is configured to be displaced relative to the movable plate (8) in a state in which the valve body is closed.

Abstract: An elevator system capable of an efficient evacuation using an elevator in case of a fire, and capable of confirming an evacuee remaining status in a case that an evacuation operation using the elevator is discontinued. An evacuation-call response-order setting section sets a priority order of a response to an evacuation special call registered in an evacuation special call registration section, based on fire occurrence information received by a fire situation reception section. A responding floor is selected based on the priority order. The evacuation operation running section controls an operation of the elevator so as to direct a car to the responding floor selected in this manner. In a case that the evacuation operation availability determination section determines that the evacuation operation is not available, the evacuation operation terminating section causes an evacuation special call remaining floor display section to display a remaining evacuation special call registration floor.

Abstract: A control operation system for an elevator includes a flood detector for detecting a flood amount in a hoistway in an elevator, a flood speed computer for computing flood speed based on the detected flood amount, and a flood control operation command for flood control operation of the elevator based on the flood speed, making it possible to provide a flood control operation best suited to a flood speed.
