DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a decorative cover mounted on a surface of an operation panel provided in a car of an elevator, and to a case where the surface of an existing elevator operation panel becomes dirty or damaged. The present invention relates to a decorative cover for an elevator operation panel mounted so as to cover the surface thereof, and a method of mounting the decorative cover.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Elevator operation panels provided with push buttons for passengers to register destination floors, opening and closing doors, and intercoms for emergency calls are provided in elevator cars. Is provided. FIG. 11 is a perspective view of a car provided with such an elevator operation panel, in which a part of a peripheral wall is cut away and the inside door direction is viewed.

The car 1 is formed in a substantially square shape by a floor 2 and a ceiling 3 and a side plate 4 which is vertically erected and fixed to the floor 2 and the ceiling 3 and is opened and closed toward the landing side. 5 are provided. 6 is a baseboard. Then, the elevator operation panel 7 is attached to the side plate 4a on the side where the door 5 is provided.
Is provided.

[0004] As shown in Fig. 12, the elevator operation panel 7 is entirely covered by a face plate 8 as a surface plate, and a destination floor push button 9 (see FIG. Ten push buttons from the first floor to the tenth floor are shown), and the normal door 5 is automatically opened and closed.
A door opening / closing push button 10 for closing and operating the open door 5 is provided. Also, a direction light 11 indicating the operation direction of the elevator by lighting an arrow portion, an emergency call button 12 for calling a maintenance person or a management center in an emergency, an interphone 13 for talking with a maintenance person or a management center, etc. And so on.

The destination floor push button 9, the door open / close push button 10, and the emergency call push button 12 are provided so that their surfaces protrude from through holes formed in the face plate 8. Lights up. That is, the push buttons 9, 10, 12, and the like are pushed by the fingertips of the passengers, and the switches provided inside operate in conjunction with the push buttons 9, 10, and 12 to transmit signals to an elevator control device (not shown). After that, by releasing the fingertip from the push button, the push button is returned by the return force of the spring provided inside and the rubber-like flexible elastic silicon rubber etc. Has become. Therefore, a gap for stroke is formed between the push buttons 9, 10, 12 and the face plate 8 so that the push buttons 9, 10, 12 do not contact the face plate 8.

[0006] The elevator operation panel 7 is provided with an operation switch box 14 used at the time of maintenance and inspection.
By locking the key 5 with the key 16, the passenger can not be touched. However, in FIG.
5 shows a state in which the operation switch box 14 has appeared by sliding downward. The surface of the door plate 15 is formed so as to be at the same height as the surface of the face plate 8.

Further, on the surface of the face plate 8,
A nameplate 17 indicating the name of the manufacturer of the elevator, a rating nameplate 18 indicating the use and capacity of the elevator, a load weight, a cautionary note 19 for the emergency call button 12, and the like are displayed. The door plate 15 of the operation box switch 14 also handles the elevator. Is displayed. These nameplates and notices are usually displayed by silk printing. Instead of silk printing, as shown in FIG. 13, a name plate and a precautionary note are formed by individual members 21 respectively, stud bolts 22 are fixed thereto, and the stud bolts 22 are attached to the face plate 8 with nuts 23. Alternatively, there is also one that is fixed with a caulking tool 24.

Since such an elevator operation panel 7 is operated by an unspecified number of people, it is constantly maintained and inspected so that it is cleaned and functions normally. However, as the years of use have become longer, the face plate 8 of the elevator operation panel 7 has been damaged, the push buttons 9, 10, 12 have failed, and the numbers of the destination floors displayed on the push buttons 9, 10, 12 When the face is faded and cannot be seen, the face plate 8 and the push buttons 9, 10, and 12 are replaced with new ones or repaired to restore the appearance of the design, and perform a normal function. And so on. Further, when the degree of damage is large and cannot be repaired only by cleaning or replacing parts, the elevator operation panel 7 itself may be replaced and repaired.

[0009] However, recently, regardless of the wear due to long-term use, the serious situation that the elevator operation panel 7 is damaged by mischief by an inexperienced person has increased rapidly. The situation will be described.

[0010] Since the interior of the elevator car 1 may be a closed room space, an inexperienced person may damage the elevator operation panel 7 with coins or keys, or doodle with a felt-tip pen or paint to display characters. At present, there are many malicious acts such as obstructing the view, pushing the destination floor push button 9 with the tip of an umbrella and breaking it, or burning it with a lighter or the like to deform or disable the push buttons 9, 10, 12 etc. It is.
Usually, the elevator operation panel 7 is made of a resin material such as acrylic which is excellent in mass productivity. However, resin such as acrylic is generally weak to heat and easily deformed even by a lighter flame. Once mischievous, the appearance deteriorates, which may cause a malfunction or a failure, which may hinder the operation of the elevator itself.

Therefore, recently, resins such as nylon and polycarbonate have properties that are difficult to burn in resins.
So-called flame-retardant materials have been increasingly used. As the flame-retardant material, a material certified by the UL94 test of the US UL standard is used.
The above nylon and polycarbonate are the highest standards V
It has been certified as one. This means that if you move away from the lighter that is the heat source, it will not burn out anymore, nor will it burn out even at high temperatures around 120 ° C,
It does not melt.

The elevator operation panel 7 is also provided with a countermeasure against mischief not only in the material but also in the structure. FIGS. 14 and 15 show examples of the countermeasure structure.

That is, the one shown in FIG. 14 uses a thick metal plate 25 as a face plate. The metal plate 25 as a face plate has through holes 26 formed at positions corresponding to the destination floor push button 9 and the door opening / closing push button 10, respectively. Is fixed to the screw portion 27 with a bolt 28. Therefore, the passenger pushes the destination floor push button 9 and the door open / close push button 10 from the through hole 26. Thus, the destination floor push button 9
And the door opening / closing push button 10 have a structure buried inside the elevator operation panel 7 by the thickness of the metal plate 25, so that even if the lighter flame is approached to the push buttons 9 and 10, The thickness of the plate 25 and the through holes 26 prevent the flame from reaching the surfaces of the push buttons 9 and 10.

FIG. 15 shows a cylinder adapted to the shape of these push buttons 9 and 10 so as to surround the destination floor push button 9 and the door open / close push button 10 of the face plate 8 of the elevator operation panel 7. The projection 28 is fixed.
Therefore, the passenger pushes the destination floor push button 9 and the door open / close push button 10 from the hole of the projection 28. This protrusion 2
8 has the same height as that of FIG. 14 and therefore has the same effect as that shown in FIG. If the push buttons 9 and 10 are circular, the protrusions 28 are formed in a ring shape and are screwed around the protrusions, and are formed into thread grooves formed around the push buttons 9 and 10 of the face plate 8. And may be fixed by screwing it.

[0015]

However, FIG.
4. Even the structure shown in FIG. 15 was not sufficient as a countermeasure against mischief.

First, in order to prevent mischief due to an ignited substance such as a lighter, even if the resin of the material is changed to a resin having excellent heat resistance, the flame of the lighter reaches a temperature of about 1200 ° C. It does not have the heat resistance to withstand heat, and if it is burned at a temperature exceeding the limit, it may melt or burn, and even if it is a resin that is strong against heat, it will continue to be exposed to a heat source for a long time Since it melted and deformed, it was not an effective measure. The structure shown in FIG. 14 and FIG. 15 does not reach the surface of the push buttons 9 and 10 if the flame of a normal lighter is used, and is difficult to be tampered with. Since it is operated by touching with the fingertips of passengers, it cannot be installed too far behind, and there are lighters that can extend beyond the hand and ignite, so this is also a sufficient measure as a countermeasure It was not something.

On the other hand, measures against scratches and mischief of graffiti have been taken by changing the resin material to a metal material. However, although it is more durable than the resin material, it is easily damaged with a coin or a key. The problem of being removed and the difficulty of removing graffiti was still an unsolvable problem. Also,
Since emphasis is placed on countermeasures against mischief, there has been a problem that it is difficult to use for ordinary users and the design is inferior. Furthermore, no measures have been taken on the push button itself.

The present invention has been made to solve such a problem.
