Abstract
A control device of an elevator door includes moving quantity detector which detects the moving quantity of a driving device of the door for opening and closing, and a driving force detector which detects a driving torque or driving force of the driving device. An equivalent stiffness calculator estimates the equivalent stiffness of an object in contact from an output signal of the moving quantity detector and an output signal of the driving force detector. The door is reversed or stopped by comparing the estimated equivalent stiffness of an object in contact as a contact determination parameter with a threshold value.
