Abstract
A velocity detection apparatus for elevators wherein the time interval between movement magnitude pulses produced at a frequency-representing velocity of the cage of an elevator is detected, and the fixed frequency of sampling pulses is modulated using a modulation coefficient determined by the ratio of the fixed frequency of the sampling pulses to the frequency of the movement magnitude pulses so as to obtain a modulated pulse signal during the interval between the movement magnitude pulses from which the velocity of the elevator cage is obtained. Provision is made to include two memory units for storing the latest two count values on the basis of a sampling pulse signal to determine the difference therebetween corresponding to the velocity of the elevator cage. In an alternate embodiment, a pair of counters is provided for counting both the modulated pulses and the movement magnitude pulses of the elevator to produce count values representing the velocity of the elevator.
