Description

Field of invention

The present invention relates to an elevator car for a passenger elevator. In particular, the cabin should be optimized for use by wheelchair users.

Background of the invention

The European patent EP 1 591 401 B1 reveals a typical elevator car. This is built as a cuboid on a rectangular base. Only a single door is provided at the front. The cabin is supported by a cabin frame that surrounds it on both side walls. This cabin frame in turn supports a transverse beam that runs across the cabin ceiling. Furthermore, rollers and an associated roller support beam are provided on the cabin ceiling. This cabin design is certainly practical for a typical elevator shaft, but requires a large shaft and, due to the roller drive, is usually dependent on a complex and heavy drive unit above the shaft. No elevator access can be provided in these areas using frame elements. The present invention would like to offer an elevator and a corresponding cabin, which are designed to be significantly more compact and can also offer access from several sides.

The European patent EP 2 516 314 B1 reveals another elevator car. A cuboid cabin is revealed on a rectangular base, which appears stable thanks to its rectangular floor frame and the corresponding roof frame. The cabin doors are guided in a door guide rail at the top and are supported by a door guide rail at the bottom Cabin door sill off. This construction appears to allow the doors to be guided reliably. It is also quite typical for many cabins. However, both the door guide rail and the cabin door sill protrude significantly beyond the cabin to the left and right (i.e. in the opening direction of the doors). Accordingly, a generously designed elevator shaft is required. Such a solution seems less suitable for retrofitting a disabled elevator. In any case, it requires a lot of space.

The Japanese patent application JP 2006151625 A2 discloses an elevator with a compact guide and drive unit. The elevator includes a cabin on a square base. The elevator shaft is also square. Guide elements are provided to the left and right of the cabin. Additional drive and guidance elements are provided behind the cabin. This also includes a counterweight that is guided on the rear wall of the elevator shaft. Overall, the construction appears to be space-saving. However, the required shaft dimensions are significantly larger than the cabin dimensions. Only the front area of the shaft, in which access doors are provided, is free of technical components for drive and guidance. At the rear, the shaft must be significantly larger than the cabin, and large open spaces must also be provided in the shaft on the sides of the cabin. The present invention not only aims to offer an elevator that is particularly suitable for wheelchair users, but also to offer an even more compact elevator. This is already taken into account in the cabin design.

Elevators and in particular passenger elevators such as those from the cited prior art serve in many places to increase comfort and thus typically to avoid climbing stairs. However, for people with disabilities and especially wheelchair users, it is not about comfort, but rather about making it possible to overcome heights. In this respect, wheelchair-accessible elevators come into play big role and the need for it is significant. To a large extent, meeting needs is also limited by the limited financial resources. There is therefore continued interest in finding particularly efficient and inexpensive elevator solutions that are highly suitable for wheelchair users.

In this context, it should be borne in mind that architecturally, rectangular or square elevator shafts are generally provided. However, a rectangular elevator shaft is not particularly advantageous for a wheelchair user. As a rule, the wheelchair user should be able to rotate around its longitudinal axis, for example to retract in one direction and to extend again in the opposite direction after turning 180 degrees. The greater length of a rectangular elevator car along one axis is of no advantage. How easy it is to rotate around one's own axis is only determined by the direction of the shorter extension, while the area provided in the other direction is useless, for example in view of the fact that two wheelchairs can be accommodated one behind the other Maneuverability would remain too limited.

This task is solved by an elevator car according to claim 1. Advantageous further developments are specified in the subclaims. The advantages are also achieved by a passenger elevator according to claim 12 and the associated subclaims.

More detailed description

An elevator car according to the present invention will have a floor, at least one wall element, an access opening and a car door which can close the access opening. (Other elements are usually included.)

The floor can consist of an upper floor, which supports a user and is usually walked on by the user, and additionally have supporting floor elements arranged underneath. In the context of this invention, the floor should encompass the entire area delimited by the outer surfaces of the side walls and the cabin doors. Describe accessible area.

The elevator car should be used in a rectangular shaft and accordingly have wall elements that are arranged along rectangular edges. The elevator car will have at least one access opening, which occupies part of such a rectangular side or the entire length of such a rectangular side. This access opening should be able to be closed by a cabin door.

The floor is bordered by a multitude of edges. The geometry of the floor is such that four of the delimiting edges are arranged along a rectangle and the remaining edges are arranged within the rectangle area, in such a way that the floor forms at least two obtuse corners in the area of the remaining edges, namely one first blunt corner and a second blunt corner. (If door thresholds are provided on the floor, these count as part of the floor and should therefore lie within the rectangle.)

A useful floor can therefore be delimited by six edges, four of which are arranged along the sides of a rectangle and two edges are arranged so that they bridge the corners of the rectangle and face each other.

It can also be useful if the floor is delimited by eight edges, with four edges being arranged along the sides of a rectangle, and the remaining edges each bridging the corners of the rectangle. It is useful if the four longest ones are among the Edges are those that are located on the sides of a rectangle. It is also useful if the opposite edges of the remaining edges are of the same length. It can be useful if one pair of edges is longer than the other. The longer pair of edges will then form the blunt corners, i.e. the first blunt corner and the second blunt corner.

The car door should move between an open position, in which access to the elevator car is possible, and a closed position. In the closed position, access to the elevator car is blocked. From the open position, the car door moves along a closing direction to close. As a rule, the cabin is closed by a lateral displacement in the closing direction. The cabin door should be designed as a sliding door with a first wing and a second wing. The first wing should be the “fast” wing. The first wing will thus move beyond the second wing in the closing direction. The first wing should have a front edge oriented in the closing direction and an opposite rear edge, the second wing should also have a front edge oriented in the closing direction and an opposite rear edge. The second wing should border the first blunt corner when the cabin door is closed.

According to the present invention, at least the rear edge of the first wing should not lie above the floor of the elevator car when the car is open. This means that the space outside the elevator car is also used for the movement of at least one of the car door wings.

It is also useful if the rear edge of the second wing does not lie above the floor of the elevator when the car door is open. Both the first wing of the car door and the second wing of the car door can move completely or partially, but at least with their rear edge, beyond the floor of the elevator car.

The first wing as well as the second wing have a front edge oriented in the closing direction and an opposite rear edge and a vertical central axis located centrally between the edges. It is definitely useful if not only the rear edge, but even the central axis of the wings do not lie above the floor of the elevator when the car door is open.

At the same time, the rear edge of the first wing when the cabin is open (and preferably also the rear edge of the second wing) should remain within the described rectangle determined by the cabin. This cabin design saves space and allows a compact shaft to be provided. Therefore, the corresponding elevator can be used and retrofitted in places where there is no space for a conventional elevator design, especially one with car doors.

Although the chosen shape of the elevator car with two blunt corners is very advantageous for the construction of a space-saving elevator for wheelchair users, this shape does have certain disadvantages for the arrangement of important elements, including: for the controls, but also the arrangement of the doors. Within the scope of the present invention, such disadvantages are overcome.

It is expedient if controls are arranged in the area of the first obtuse corner or in the area of the second obtuse corner. Such control elements are, in particular, the elements with which the desired floor for transport can be entered. It is particularly useful if controls with the same effect are provided one above the other, namely at a first height for standing people and at a second (lower) height for wheelchair users.

It is also expedient if the cabin door comprises three wings, the cabin door can open in two directions, so that the first wing and the second wing have a first opening direction and the third wing has an oppositely oriented opening direction. For example, the first wing and the second wing can open to the right and the right wing can open to the left.

It is particularly advantageous if the third wing is designed to be shorter than the first wing and the second wing. Since the third wing cannot open towards the blunt corner, it finds less space than the first wing and the second wing.

It is also expedient if the cabin door comprises four wings, the cabin door can open in two directions, so that the first wing and the second wing have a first opening direction and the third wing and the fourth wing have an oppositely oriented opening direction.

A practical elevator car can have two guide lugs with which it can be connected to guide rails in a suitable manner. More than two guide lugs and correspondingly more than two guide rails can also be used, but in the context of the present invention it is usually sufficient if the elevator car has two guide lugs. For this purpose, the first guide nose can be arranged in the first blunt corner and the second guide nose can be arranged in the second blunt corner. The advantage of using the blunt corners to arrange the guide lugs is that it results in a relatively short diagonal for better guidance. When we talk about a guide nose here, it can generally be a practical element for interacting with a guide rail, usually a mechanical element, but which can be designed as a female element or as a male element (the guide noses are also common simply referred to as “guides”). For example, the guide nose can be designed in the form of a groove, which forms a guide rail encompasses. It can also make sense to use four guide noses, especially at different heights in the cabin, such as two near the roof and two near the floor (i.e. in the upper or lower 10% of the cabin height).

It has proven to be expedient if at least the rear edge of the first wing is moved behind the first guide nose when the cabin door is open. More precisely, this means that when the sash is moved in the opening direction (i.e. opposite to the closing direction), the rear edge of the sash moves so far that the edge is moved beyond the projection of the guide nose onto the inside of the door. In this way, a kind of sandwich is produced, so the guide nose is enclosed between the car door and the elevator car, in particular the floor of the elevator car. The arrangement therefore enables the guide rails to be brought particularly close to the cabin and at the same time allows remaining space to be used for moving the cabin doors.

In this sense, it is also expedient if at least the first wing of the cabin door has an inside and an outside, the inside pointing towards the inside of the cabin in the closed position of the cabin door and the inside pointing towards the first guide nose in the open position. This can be provided in a similar way for the second wing. It is therefore also advantageous if, when the car door is in the open position, the first guide nose lies between the inside of the first wing and the floor of the elevator car.

This can be provided in an analogous manner for the second guide nose, which is arranged in the second obtuse corner.

The design of the elevator car is suitable for providing multiple access openings. For example, a first access opening and an opposite second access opening can be provided. It is also possible to have a first access opening and a second access opening to be provided at right angles to each other. The fundamentally geometric arrangement of the elevator car allows access openings and corresponding car doors to be provided in four directions. In conventional elevator cars it is usually necessary to provide significant parts of at least one side wall for controls and other devices. Since within the scope of the present invention such control elements can be provided in the first obtuse corner or alternatively or additionally in the second obtuse corner, all side walls of the elevator car are available for access openings and car doors.

It is also useful if the elevator car has two car doors, each with two leaves. It is useful if the cabin doors each have their slower wings adjacent to the blunt corners. In this way, the space provided in the blunt corners can be used for two cabin doors.

Within the scope of the present invention, it is also of interest to provide a passenger elevator with an elevator car. Preferably, the elevator car, individually or in combination, has the features already described.

This involves a passenger elevator with an elevator car, the passenger elevator having a shaft with a substantially rectangular base area, over which four shaft walls protrude, which form four shaft corners, and the elevator car has four side walls which extend essentially parallel to the four shaft walls, wherein the elevator car is spaced from the adjacent shaft corner in the area of a first corner and the elevator car has a car door, the car door being designed as a sliding door with a first wing and a second wing and the first wing having a front edge oriented in the closing direction and an opposite rear edge and one has a vertical central axis lying centrally between the edges and the second wing has a front edge oriented in the closing direction and an opposite rear edge and a vertical central axis lying centrally between the edges and the first wing moves beyond the second wing in the closing direction, the second wing at adjoins the first corner when the car door is closed, characterized in that the central axis of the first wing protrudes beyond the elevator car when the car door is open.

A passenger elevator is also useful in which a first guide rail is provided in one shaft corner and a second guide rail in the opposite shaft corner, with at least the rear edge of the first when the car door is opened. Wing is moved in the areas between the first guide rail and the adjacent shaft corner.

Further features, but also advantages of the invention, result from the drawings listed below and the associated description. Features of the invention are described in combination in the illustrations and in the associated descriptions. However, these features can also be included in other combinations by an object according to the invention. Each disclosed feature is therefore also to be viewed as being disclosed in technically meaningful combinations with other features. Some of the illustrations are slightly simplified and schematic.

Fig. 1 shows the cabin 10 in a sectional view. It is a horizontal section, the view goes from top to bottom to the floor 12 of the cabin 10, so that the whole thing can be referred to as a floor plan view.

The cabin floor supports the user and possibly also a load. Unlike typical simple elevators, especially retrofitted elevators, which offer options in a small area, especially for use by wheelchair users, this cabin is surrounded on all sides by side walls or cabin doors. This ensures increased safety and it is also possible to achieve higher transport speeds within the framework of common safety regulations.

The floor 12 extends within a square, but is not itself square because the corners of the square are not filled. The cabin 10 is limited by a first side wall 14 and a second side wall 16. The first access opening 18 is located opposite the side wall 14. The second access opening 20 is located opposite the second side wall 16.

The side walls 14 and 16 run towards each other at right angles, but do not touch each other. Rather, a first blunt corner is provided in the area where the extensions of the side walls would intersect. A second obtuse corner 24 is provided opposite in the area in which the directions of the access openings intersect. There is a first access opening between the side wall 16 and the first access opening 18 pointed corner 26 provided. A second acute corner 28 is provided between the first side wall 14 and the second access opening 20.

The control element 30 can be seen as an important element of the cabin. Typically, two controls are also provided, one adapted to the standing height of a user and one adapted to an appropriate operating height for a wheelchair user. A wall element 32 is provided between the first side wall and the second side wall 16. From the top view, there is a blunt corner between the side walls; from the inside view of the user, another wall element 32 or panel can easily be seen.

The blunt corners are also referred to as blunt corners because the wall elements in the corners that are visible to the user are significantly shorter than the adjacent side walls. For example, it is generally expedient within the scope of the present invention if a wall panel that bridges a cabin corner has a width that is 50% or less of the width of the shorter adjacent side wall, for example only 40% or 30% or less.

A corresponding wall element 34 is arranged in the second obtuse corner 24. This can expediently carry the control element 30. However, another holder, possibly independent of the wall element 34, can also be provided for the control element 30.

Wall elements are also provided in the pointed corners mentioned. In the first acute corner 26 this is the wall element 36. In the second acute corner 28 this is the wall element 38. It is expedient if the wall elements in the acute corners are even less wide than the wall elements in the blunt corners. For example, it is generally useful in the context of the present invention if the width of such a wall element of an acute corner is less than 80% or even is less than 50% or even less than 30% of the width of a wall element of a blunt corner.

The first access opening 18 is closed by a first cabin door 40. The first cabin door 40 consists of two wings, namely the first wing 42 and the second wing 44. The cabin door should open towards the second blunt corner 24. That is, when opened, the first wing 42 moves a further distance than the second wing 44. The first wing 42 is therefore commonly referred to as the "fast" wing.

The second access opening 20 is closed by the second cabin door 46. This cabin door is three-wing. The cabin door 46 includes the third wing 48 and the fourth wing 50. It also includes the fifth wing 52. The wings 48 and 50 should also open towards the second obtuse corner 24. Thus, the fourth wing 50 is the fast wing here. The fifth wing 52 opens in the opposite direction, i.e. towards the second acute corner 28. The fifth wing 52 is significantly shorter than the third wing 48 and the fourth wing 50.

It is generally expedient within the scope of the present invention to use a cabin door with three leaves, the third leaf of which is less than half as wide or less than a third as wide as the widest of the other two leaves.

Fig. 2 shows the elevator car 10 in one of the Figure 1 corresponding view, but installed in an elevator shaft. For the sake of clarity, only the essential elements of the cabin 10 are shown; they in turn include the floor 12 and also the first cabin door 40 and the second cabin door 46.

The cabin 10 is surrounded by the first shaft wall 54 and the second shaft wall 56. Opposite the first shaft wall 54 there is the third shaft wall 58 and the first shaft door 60. Opposite the second shaft wall 56 is the fourth shaft wall 62 and the adjacent second shaft door 64. The elevator car is suitable for shafts of various types; shown here is a shaft that was built with corner posts , corner posts 66A, 66B, 66C and 66D are shown. These corner posts are arranged in the corners of a square so that the shaft offers a square base. As explained, the floor 12 is not designed to be square, but is spaced apart from the corners of the shaft in the corner areas.

There is therefore space for additional devices in the shaft in the blunt corners of the cabin 10. A first guide post 70 is provided here, which is connected to the corner post 66D by a first connecting element 68. Opposite is the guide post 72, which is connected to the corner post 66B with the connecting element 74. The guide posts each offer (generally within the scope of this invention) at least one guide rail. They can consist solely of a guide rail (e.g. a flat iron) or include other elements, e.g. designed as a T-beam. Accordingly, the guide posts are more often just referred to as guide rails. However, it is advantageous if the guide posts are self-supporting elements, which at least do not require any support from a shaft wall and also if the guide posts are supported on the shaft floor.

Fig. 3 shows the cabin with an elevator shaft surrounding it from the in Fig. 2 chosen viewing direction. While the cabin is in Fig. 2 shown with the cabin doors closed are in Fig. 3 the open cabin doors are shown. To simplify the view, the shaft doors, which are usually also provided, have been omitted. The first access opening 18 was opened for access by moving the wings of the first cabin door, namely the first wing 42 and the second wing 44, towards the second obtuse corner 24. The first wing 42 covers the second wing 44. The first wing 42 lies outwards towards the shaft wall, while the second wing 44 is oriented inwards towards the cabin. As can be seen, in this open position or open position, the wings use the free space that results between the cabin and the shaft walls (here in particular the third shaft wall 58). The wings 42 and 44 are therefore moved to an area behind the wall element 34. They are also moved out of the area of the cabin floor 12. So the wings use an area that is outside the cabin but does not extend far into the shaft.

A corresponding solution arises in the area of the second access opening 20. Here the third wing 48 and the fourth wing 50 are moved into the area of the second obtuse corner 24 so that they release the second access opening 20. These wings also use the free space behind the wall element 34 and are moved so far that their insides point towards the guide post 70.

The free space in the second obtuse corner 24 is used both by elements of the cabin and by elements of the elevator system. The relevant elements of the car here are the leaves of the car doors and also the control element 30. The other elements that are required for the technical operation of the elevator are the guide post 70 and the corresponding connecting element 68.

Furthermore, this dual use occurs in a very efficient manner. The wings of the doors are moved into the free space described so far that the guide post 70 lies on the inside (that is, on the side facing the cabin) of the door wings.

The fifth wing 52 of this door is moved into the area of the second acute corner 28. It is now located behind the wall element 38. Even in the area of the sharp corners, the free space between the cabin and the shaft can be used for the door leaves so that they can be moved into the open position in a favorable manner and, if possible, completely expose the second access opening. It would also be conceivable that not only the cabin door leaves use the free space in the obtuse corners, but also additional cabin facilities (such as additional controls) or the shaft. In this regard, it could be considered that additional guide rods are also installed in the area of the sharp corners or, for example, a shaft copying system with which the cabin height can be determined.

Fig. 4 shows an enlarged section of the shaft structure in the area of the corner post 66D. Such a corner post can be designed as a profile post. This allows the shaft walls, such as the third shaft wall 58 and the fourth shaft wall 62, to be well connected to the corner posts 66D and to be supported by the corner posts. Corresponding wall sections can easily be made of metal, for example aluminum, plastic or even glass. They can be provided with suitable frames. Grooves can be provided for the corresponding connection. In the case of a shaft post with a substantially square profile, suitable connecting elements will come off at right angles.

Additional connecting elements can be provided between these connecting elements, for example at a 45 degree angle. These additional connecting elements can be used to connect technical components for the shaft. For example, a groove extending at a 45 degree angle is provided here (unspecified), which... Connecting element 68 receives. This connecting element 68 carries the guide post 70.

This enlarged view highlights how the arrangement of corner posts and guide posts creates an area in which door leaves can be moved into the open position. This area is shown hatched as area 76.

Overall, you can see how an elevator car and a corresponding passenger elevator can be constructed inexpensively and efficiently, which offers many advantages to wheelchair users.
