An elevator position detecting apparatus comprising: a first detected body that is disposed at a first position that is either inside a hoistway or on a car that is moved through the hoistway; a second detected body that is disposed at the first position, and that is disposed so as to be spaced apart from the first detected body in a direction of movement of the car; a first detector that has a magnetic sensor (18,19) on which is disposed a first detecting region (25,26) through which each of the first and second detected bodies (13,14) can pass due to movement of the car, that is disposed at a second position that is either inside the hoistway or on the car, and in which the first detected body is inserted into the first detecting region (25,26) when the car is within a predetermined door opening and closing enabled zone; and a second detector that has an optical sensor (20,21) on which is disposed a second detecting region (27,28) through which each of the first and second detected bodies (13,14) can pass due to the movement of the car, that is disposed at the second position, and in which the second detected body is inserted into the second detecting region (27,28) when the car is within a predetermined car floor alignment zone that is set within the door opening and closing enabled zone, the elevator position detecting apparatus being characterized in that: the magnetic sensor (18,19) can detect only presence or absence of insertion of the first detected body into the first detecting region (25,26) among the first and second detected bodies (13,14); and the optical sensor (20,21) can detect presence or absence of insertion of either of the first and second detected bodies (13,14) into the second detecting region (27,28). a first detected body that is disposed at a first position that is either inside a hoistway or on a car that is moved through the hoistway; a second detected body that is disposed at the first position, and that is disposed so as to be spaced apart from the first detected body in a direction of movement of the car; a first detector that has a magnetic sensor (18,19) on which is disposed a first detecting region (25,26) through which each of the first and second detected bodies (13,14) can pass due to movement of the car, that is disposed at a second position that is either inside the hoistway or on the car, and in which the first detected body is inserted into the first detecting region (25,26) when the car is within a predetermined door opening and closing enabled zone; and a second detector that has an optical sensor (20,21) on which is disposed a second detecting region (27,28) through which each of the first and second detected bodies (13,14) can pass due to the movement of the car, that is disposed at the second position, and in which the second detected body is inserted into the second detecting region (27,28) when the car is within a predetermined car floor alignment zone that is set within the door opening and closing enabled zone, the elevator position detecting apparatus being characterized in that: the magnetic sensor (18,19) can detect only presence or absence of insertion of the first detected body into the first detecting region (25,26) among the first and second detected bodies (13,14); and the optical sensor (20,21) can detect presence or absence of insertion of either of the first and second detected bodies (13,14) into the second detecting region (27,28). the magnetic sensor (18,19) can detect only presence or absence of insertion of the first detected body into the first detecting region (25,26) among the first and second detected bodies (13,14); and the optical sensor (20,21) can detect presence or absence of insertion of either of the first and second detected bodies (13,14) into the second detecting region (27,28).
