Abstract
A method in the installation of an elevator includes arranging a movable platform structure in the bottom end of the elevator hoistway with a temporary hoisting appliance in the elevator hoistway. The movable platform structure is lifted in the elevator hoistway with the temporary hoisting appliance. The final hoisting machine of the final elevator is installed from the platform structure and the final hoisting roping of the elevator is installed. The movable platform structure can be the final elevator car or at least a part of the final elevator car.
Claims29
A method of installing an elevator, said method comprising the steps of:
- arranging a movable platform structure in a bottom end of an elevator hoistway with a temporary hoisting appliance in the elevator hoistway;
- lifting the movable platform structure in the elevator hoistway with the temporary hoisting appliance;
- installing final components of the elevator from the movable platform structure;
- installing a final hoisting machine;
- and
- installing final hoisting ropes of the elevator,
- wherein the movable platform structure is a final elevator car or at least a part of a final elevator car;
- wherein said step of installing the final hoisting machine comprises:
- moving the final hoisting machine to lower level of the movable platform structure;
- moving the movable platform structure upwards in the elevator hoistway such that the lower level of the movable platform structure is level with a floor of a floor landing;
- moving the final hoisting machine to the floor landing;
- moving the movable platform structure downwards in the elevator hoistway such that an upper level of the movable platform structure is level with the floor landing where the final hoisting machine is located;
- moving the final hoisting machine to the upper level of the platform structure;
- and
- installing the final hoisting machine into position in the elevator hoistway from the movable platform structure.
A method of installing an elevator, said method comprising the steps of:
- arranging a movable platform structure in a bottom end of an elevator hoistway with a temporary hoisting appliance in the elevator hoistway;
- lifting the movable platform structure in the elevator hoistway with the temporary hoisting appliance;
- installing final components of the elevator from the movable platform structure;
- installing the final hoisting machine;
- installing final hoisting ropes of the elevator;
- when installing the final components of the elevator, lifting the final components of the elevator with the temporary hoisting appliance and supporting the final components with the temporary hoisting appliance with a first suspension ratio;
- and
- after said step of supporting with a first suspension ratio, suspending the movable platform structure on a hoisting rope of the temporary hoisting appliance supported from a top end of the elevator hoistway such that the hoisting appliance supports the movable platform structure with a second suspension ratio, the second suspension ratio being greater than the first suspension ratio,
- wherein said step of installing the final hoisting machine comprises:
- moving the final hoisting machine to lower level of the movable platform structure:
- moving the movable platform structure upwards in the elevator hoistway such that the lower level of the movable platform structure is level with a floor of a floor landing;
- moving the final hoisting machine to the floor landing;
- moving the movable platform structure downwards in the elevator hoistway such that an upper level of the movable platform structure is level with the floor landing where the final hoisting machine is located;
- moving the final hoisting machine to the upper level of the platform structure;
- and
- installing the final hoisting machine into position in the elevator hoistway from the movable platform structure.
