Patent number: 11639285Abstract: An elevator car (100) defining an interior space (1) for accommodating passengers. The elevator car (100) comprises an openable roof (2), horizontal roof guide rails (13a, 13b) arranged on a top side of the elevator car (100), a support structure (4) pivotably mounted to the guide rails (13a, 13b) by a first joint (5a, 5b), and a working platform (6) pivotably and movably mounted to the support structure (4) by a second joint (7a, 7b) arranged at a distance from the first joint (5a, 5b). The working platform (6) is pivotable between a retracted position, in which said working platform is oriented close to the guide rails (13a, 13b) in the top side of the elevator car, and a deployed position, in which the working platform (6) is in the interior space (1), at a distance from the guide rails (13a, 13b). The first joint (5a, 5b) being arranged movable along the guide rails (13a, 13b).Type: GrantFiled: January 27, 2021Date of Patent: May 2, 2023Assignee: KONE CORPORATIONInventors: Tapio Siironen, Aleksi Immonen, Pekka Halonen, Ari Pitkänen, Tapani Talonen, Ville Myyryläinen

Patent number: 11535485Abstract: The method includes loading and/or unloading the car, determining whether the car doors are fully closed or not fully open, measuring a total actual axial mass F?act hanging from the traction sheave, determining a stalling limit total minimum axial mass F?min, checking reopening of the car doors, whereby if the car doors are reopened, then return to beginning, else, continue, permitting starting of elevator, comparing the total actual axial mass with the stalling limit total minimum axial mass, whereby if the total actual axial mass is equal to or greater than the stalling limit total minimum axial mass, then permit normal run of the elevator car to the next landing, else, stop the elevator.Type: GrantFiled: February 6, 2020Date of Patent: December 27, 2022Assignee: KONE CORPORATIONInventors: Tarvo Viita-aho, Tapani Talonen, Janne Mikkonen, Tapio Siironen, Ville Myyryläinen, Alessio Calcagno, Markku Jokinen

Patent number: 11518654Abstract: An element includes a vibration isolation pad with two opposite substantially planar surfaces, an elastic material layer being permanently attached to a first of the two substantially planar surfaces of the vibration isolation pad, a load sensor arrangement integrated into the combined elevator vibration isolation and load measurement element. A load acting on the combined elevator vibration isolation and load measurement element can be measured with the load sensor arrangement as a function of the compression of the elastic material layer.Type: GrantFiled: February 6, 2020Date of Patent: December 6, 2022Assignee: KONE CORPORATIONInventors: Tapani Talonen, Tapio Siironen, Henri Wenlin, Ville Myyryläinen

Publication number: 20210387832Abstract: The invention concerns a method, system and computer program for monitoring the run of a roping interconnecting a car and a counterweight of an elevator and for detecting an abnormal operation condition during the drive of a traction sheave intending therewith the car and the counterweight to be moved via said roping. Said roping is running on its way from the car to the traction sheave via at least one pulley and on its way from the counterweight to the traction sheave via at least one pulley, wherein the rotation of said at least two pulleys is monitored by sensing their rotation. These rotation data are then analysed in view of a mutual correlation indicating therewith a synchronized run of the roping on either side of the traction sheave, and detecting therewith an abnormal situation when detecting an absence of such correlation.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 3, 2021Publication date: December 16, 2021Applicant: KONE CorporationInventors: Mikko Viljanen, Tarvo Viita-aho, Tapani Talonen, Matti Räsänen, Juha-Matti Aitamurto, Tapio Siironen, Ville Myyryläinen, Henri Wenlin

The working platform is pivotable between a retracted position, in which said working platform is oriented close to the guide rails in the top side of the elevator car, and a deployed position, in which the working platform is in the interior space, at a distance from the guide rails. The first joint is arranged movable along the guide rails.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 27, 2021Publication date: September 2, 2021Applicant: KONE CorporationInventors: Tapio Siironen, Aleksi Immonen, Pekka Halonen, Ari Pitkänen, Tapani Talonen, Ville Myyryläinen

Publication number: 20210269279Abstract: An elevator car roof system is provided for monitoring safety of a service access located on an elevator car roof. The elevator car roof system may monitor a change in an opening state of the elevator car roof. Positions of a plurality of roof panels may indicate when the elevator car roof is partially open, fully open or fully closed. The positions of the roof panels may cause at least one sensor of the elevator car roof system to provide a signal to a control system of the elevator. Further, the elevator car roof system may detect if there is an object on the roof. Based on the detected object on the roof, the elevator car roof system may provide at least one signal to enable controlling operation of the elevator.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 26, 2021Publication date: September 2, 2021Applicant: KONE CorporationInventors: Tapani Talonen, Pekka Halonen, Jari Kantola, Tapio Siironen, Aleksi Immonen, Juha-Matti Aitamurto, Ari Jussila, Ville Myyryläinen
