Next, an example of operations of the operation buttons 13 and the operation panel in embodiment 1 will be described with reference to fig. 5. In this example, the operation of the destination floor button 19 of the car operating panel 12 as the operation button 13 by the user is described.
First, a case where the operation button 13 receives a touch operation by a user will be described. In this case, the touch button unit 25 is attached to the push button unit 24.
The user gets on the stopped car 7 from the landing 3. The user operates the destination floor button 19 corresponding to the destination floor. The user touches with a finger from the front surface the contact surface S1 of the destination floor button 19 as the operation button 13. Here, the contact surface S1 is the surface of the touch electrode 31.
The touch button cover 29 contacted by the user's finger is pressed in the backward direction. At this time, the restricting portion 40, the rear end of which contacts the mounting plate, hinders the displacement of the touch button cover 29 in the rear direction. Here, the second connection portion 39 of the touch button cover 29 is connected to the first connection portion 35 of the displacement portion 33. The displacement portion 33 is displaced in the front-rear direction in conjunction with the touch button cover 29. Therefore, the restricting portion 40 also blocks the displacement of the displacement portion 33 in the backward direction in conjunction with the touch button cover 29. The displacement portion 33 is not displaced in the rearward direction, and therefore the pressing operation by the user is not detected by the pressing detection portion 26.
On the other hand, when the finger of the user comes into contact with the surface of the touch electrode 31 as the contact surface S1, the capacitance C between the contact surface S1 and the reference potential point changes due to the dielectric constant of the human body of the user. The touch detection unit 30 detects the change in the capacitance C, thereby detecting a touch operation by the user. The destination floor button 19 outputs a signal for detecting the operation of the user from the connection terminal 28 to the button control unit 18 via a signal line.
The button control unit 18 transmits information of the detected user operation to the control panel 10. In this example, the button control portion 18 transmits information of a car call to a destination floor selected by the user to the control panel 10. The button control section 18 supplies power from the output board and the power supply line to each of the plurality of light emitting elements 27 of the operation buttons 13, which detect the operation of the user, through the connection terminals 28. The plurality of light emitting elements 27 emit visible light, respectively. The visible light emitted from the plurality of light emitting elements 27 passes through the touch button cover 29. Thereby, the operation button 13, which detects the operation by the user, is turned on.
The user confirms that the operation is accepted by lighting the operation button 13.
Next, the operation when the method of the user's operation accepted by the operation button 13 is switched to the pressing operation will be described.
The panel 14 is removed by a serviceman of the elevator 1, for example. The maintenance worker detaches the second connection portion 39 of the touch button unit 25 from the first connection portion 35 of the push button unit 24 in a state where the base 32 of the push button unit 24 is kept attached to the attachment plate. Since the claw 38 of the second connecting portion 39 is formed of an elastic material, the maintenance worker can detach the touch button unit 25 from the push button unit 24 by, for example, pulling the touch button unit 25 forward. Then, the maintenance person mounts the push button cover 37 to the first connection portion 35 of the push button unit 24. Since the claws 38 are formed of an elastic material, the maintenance worker can attach the push button cover 37 to the push button unit 24 by pressing the push button cover 37 from the front, for example. The maintenance personnel then install the panel 14.
Next, a case where the operation button 13 receives a pressing operation by the user will be described.
The user presses the pressing surface S2 of the push button cover 37 attached to the operation button 13 from the front surface.
The push button cover 37 pushed down by the push surface S2 is displaced in the backward direction against the elastic force of the spring together with the displacement portion 33 of the operation button 13. The displacement portion 33 presses the pressing detection portion 26 with the rear surface by being displaced in the rearward direction. The pressing detection portion 26 is pressed by the displacement portion 33 displaced in the backward direction, thereby detecting the operation of the user. The destination floor button 19 outputs a signal indicating that the operation by the user is detected to the button control unit 18.
As described above, the operation panel of embodiment 1 includes the operation buttons 13. The operation button 13 includes a push button unit 24, a touch button cover 29, and a touch detection unit 30. The push button unit 24 includes a displacement portion 33 and a push detection portion 26. The displacement portion 33 is held so as to be displaceable in the front-rear direction. The pressing detection unit 26 detects a pressing operation from the front by the user by displacement of the displacement unit 33. The touch button cover 29 is detachably attached to the front of the push button unit 24. The touch button cover 29 has a contact surface S1 on the front surface. The touch detection unit 30 detects a touch operation by the user with the contact surface S1. The touch detection unit 30 is provided in the touch button cover 29.
The touch detection unit 30 is provided in the touch button unit 25. Therefore, the method of the user's operation accepted by the operation button 13 is switched by attaching and detaching the touch button unit 25. In this case, the base 32 may be kept attached to the attachment plate. This facilitates switching of the method of the user's operation received by the operation button 13. Therefore, even after the elevator 1 is installed, the interface for the user can be flexibly selected according to, for example, a change of the entrant or the user of the building.
Even when the touch button unit 25 is broken down or the like, the operation button 13 can be easily used as a button for receiving a pressing operation by detaching the touch button unit 25.
The push button unit 24 having the displacement portion 33 as the movable portion is shared. The replacement component is shared when the movable part fails. This improves the maintainability of the operation panel.
The touch button cover 29 has a regulating portion 40 that blocks the displacement of the displacement portion 33 in the front-rear direction.
The displacement portion 33 is not displaced by the touch operation of the user. Therefore, the position of the contact surface S1 is stabilized. Thus, the touch operation of the user is more stably detected.
The touch button cover 29 is attached to the displacement portion 33. The restricting portion 40 stands rearward from the outer periphery of the front surface of the touch button cover 29 at a position outside the outer periphery of the push button unit 24. Also, the touch button cover 29 covers the outer periphery of the push button unit 24.
When the touch button cover 29 is attached to the displacement portion 33, the restricting portion 40 blocks the displacement of the touch button cover 29 in the front-rear direction. The displacement portion 33 is displaced in the front-rear direction in conjunction with the touch button cover 29. Therefore, the restricting portion 40 also blocks the displacement of the displacement portion 33 in the front-rear direction in conjunction with the touch button cover 29. This makes it possible to easily restrict the displacement of the displacement portion 33.
The push button unit 24 includes a light emitting element 27 that is provided on the front surface of the displacement portion 33 and emits visible light. At least a portion of the touch button cover 29 transmits visible light.
The operation button 13 is turned on by the light emission of the plurality of light emitting elements 27. Thus, the user can confirm that the operation is accepted by lighting the operation button 13. The touch button cover 29 may transmit visible light as a whole. The touch button cover 29 may have, for example, a concave-convex portion or the like indicating a character, a symbol, or the like on a part of the surface.
In addition, a part of the contact surface S1 of the touch button cover 29 does not transmit visible light. The touch detection unit 30 is provided behind the portion of the contact surface S1 through which visible light is not transmitted.
This prevents the brightness of the operation button 13 from being reduced by the shadow of the touch detection unit 30.
The touch detection unit 30 detects a touch operation by the user with the contact surface S1 based on a change in the capacitance C between the contact surface S1 and the reference potential point.
The operation button 13 may be provided with a stopper. The stopper blocks the displacement of the displacement portion 33 in the front-rear direction. The stopper is, for example, a member such as a pin detachably inserted below the displacement portion 33. In this case, the stopper may be inserted through a through hole provided in a side surface of the base 32 of the push button unit 24. Thus, the validity or invalidity of the detection function of the pressing operation is easily switched by the insertion and extraction of the stopper.
Further, wirings such as a signal line, a power supply line, and a common line may be connected from the button control unit 18 to the connection terminal 28 of any one selected from the push button unit 24 and the touch button unit 25. This makes it easy to switch the method of the user's operation accepted by the operation button 13 by inserting and removing the stopper and replacing the connection terminal 28. At this time, the touch button unit 25 of the operation button 13 with the stopper removed may operate as the push button cover 37.
Further, the first connection portion 35 and the second connection portion 39 may be connected by a thread cut on the side surface. The touch button unit 25 may be detachably attached to the base 32 of the push button unit 24.
Industrial applicability
The operation button and the operation panel of the present invention can be applied to an elevator.
