ELEVATOR DEVICE

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve the precision in abnormality detection of a rope by detecting the vibration applied to the rope by an exciting means, and judging the abnormality of the rope on the basis of the detected vibration. SOLUTION: An abnormality inspection control device 25 outputs a drive signal 49 for vibrating a shaker 29 when it receives an inspection command signal 84. The drive signal 49 is a rectangular pulse signal, and a current is carried to a coil 54 for a short time, whereby a pulse-like impact is given to a rope. In a vibration detector 35, the distance between a magnetic sensor 66 and the rope is changed by the vibration of the rope, whereby the state of a magnetic circuit is changed to generate a signal current in a coil 63. This signal current is amplified by an amplifier 67 to form a vibration signal. The vibration signal is smoothened by an amplitude detector 69 to form an amplitude signal. A comparator 75 compares the threshold voltage based on a threshold signal 71 from the abnormality detection control device 25 with the amplitude signal. At this time, when a vibration of a prescribed threshold or more cannot be obtained continuously for a fixed time or more within a fixed period, the presence of abnormality is judged.
