Description

  The present invention relates to a step integrated light emitting panel.

  Conventionally, in a station or the like for getting on and off a train as a boarding machine, there is a gap between the train at a position corresponding to the entrance of the train and the platform as a boarding platform, and the passenger's feet are in the gap. Since it may be inserted or the passenger may drop an object, it is desired to close the gap.

For example, Patent Document 1 proposes providing a platform so that it can appear and disappear on a train and closing the gap with the platform.
Japanese Patent Publication No. 6-78060

  By the way, since the structure of a train will be complicated if a platform is provided in a train like patent document 1, there exists a request to provide a platform on the platform side.

  In addition, at stations and the like, the operation status of trains is broadcasted in an announcement, but there is a demand for visually grasping the operation status.

  In view of such circumstances, an object of the present invention is to provide a step-integrated light-emitting panel in which a step is provided on the boarding side and the operating state of the boarding machine can be visually grasped.

  In order to achieve the above object, a step integrated light emitting panel according to the present invention includes a step for closing a gap between the boarding machine and the board at a position corresponding to a boarding / alighting port of the boarding machine, A moving means that moves between a storage position stored on the boarding platform and a use position that closes out the gap from the boarding platform, and an organic EL element or an inorganic EL element. And a control unit that sets the light-emitting panel to a predetermined lighting state in accordance with the operation status of the boarding machine.

  For example, the control unit sets the light-emitting panel in a first lighting state when the boarding / exit of the boarding machine is opened, and sets the light-emitting panel to the second before a predetermined time before the boarding / exit of the boarding machine is closed. It can be set as the thing which is set as the lighting state of.

  According to the present invention, since the step for closing the gap between the boarding machine and the boarding platform is moved between the storage position and the use position by the moving means, when the boarding machine approaches the boarding platform. The platform can be stored in the boarding platform, and the platform can be moved to the use position only when necessary. In addition, since the lighting panel is incorporated in the platform so as to constitute the upper surface of the platform, the lighting panel is set to a predetermined lighting state according to the operation status of the boarding machine by the control unit. By visually recognizing the lighting state of the light emitting panel, the operation status of the boarding machine can be visually grasped. Further, since the light-emitting panel is composed of an organic EL element or an inorganic EL element, light diffused to some extent is emitted from the light-emitting panel, and this light is reflected on the outer surface of the boarding machine. It becomes like this. For this reason, the passenger can visually recognize the lighting state of the light-emitting panel even from a place away from the boarding machine to some extent, and can make it easier for the passenger to grasp the operation status of the boarding machine.

  Hereinafter, the best mode for carrying out the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 1 shows a state in which a train 1 as a boarding machine arrives at a station having a platform (hereinafter simply referred to as “home”) 2 as a boarding platform, and a boarding gate 11 of the train 1 is opened by a door (not shown). Indicates. And the step integrated light emission panel 4 which concerns on one Embodiment of this invention is installed in the position corresponding to the boarding gate 11 of the home 2 (refer FIG. 2). The boarding machine of the present invention does not need to be a train, and may be, for example, a ship, an aircraft, a vehicle, or the like, and the boarding board of the present invention may be, for example, a deck or a lap.

  As shown in FIG. 2 (b), the step integrated light emitting panel 4 includes a step 5 for closing a gap 3 between the train 1 and the platform 2 at a position corresponding to the entrance 11 of the train 1, and the step 5 2 is provided with moving means 7 that moves between the use position shown in FIG. 2B and the storage position shown in FIG.

  The step platform 5 has a rectangular plate shape extending along the longitudinal direction of the gap 3 and has sufficient strength to allow a passenger to be placed on the upper surface 5a. The platform 2 is provided with a storage portion 21 for storing the platform 5. When the train 1 is not approaching the platform 2, the platform 5 has an upper surface 5 a as shown in FIG. It is stored in the storage unit 21 in a state of being rotated so as to face the arriving train 1. Then, when the step 5 is moved from the storage position to the use position while being rotated by the moving means 7, the step 5 comes to approach from the home 2 so as to close the gap 3.

  The moving means 7 is composed of an unillustrated motor, a link mechanism and the like. Then, when the train 1 approaches the platform 2 when the train 1 arrives at the station, the moving means 7 moves the step platform 5 from the storage position to the use position. As the moving means 7, in addition to the rotary type shown in FIG. 2, for example, as shown in FIG. 3, between the storage position shown in FIG. 3 (a) and the use position shown in FIG. 3 (b). It is also possible to adopt a slide type that moves the step 5 in the horizontal direction.

  Further, the light emitting panel 6 is incorporated in the step 5 so as to constitute the upper surface 5 a of the step 5. The light emitting panel 6 is made of an organic EL element and emits light from the upper surface thereof.

  Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the light-emitting panel 6 includes a substrate 61 constituting the upper surface of the light-emitting panel 6, a first electrode layer 62 laminated on the back surface of the substrate 61, and an organic light-emitting layer. 63 and a second electrode layer 64, and a first sealing member 65 and a second sealing member 66 for covering the organic EL layer.

  The substrate 61 is a flat member for supporting the organic EL layer, and is made of a material transparent to the wavelength of light emitted from the organic light emitting layer 63, such as glass.

  The first electrode layer 62 is a conductive thin film made of a material that is transparent to the wavelength of light emitted from the organic light emitting layer 63 and serves as an anode. The first electrode layer 62 is formed of, for example, ITO (Indium Tin Oxide) or the like because the organic light emitting layer 63 emits visible light. A portion of the first electrode layer 62 is drawn out so as to be exposed from the first sealing member 65 on one end side of the substrate 61 to form an anode terminal portion 621.

The organic light emitting layer 63 includes at least a light emitting layer made of an organic material of a fluorescent material or an organic material containing a fluorescent material, and if necessary, a hole injection layer, a hole transport layer, an electron transport layer, and an electron injection Provide layers. More specifically, when the first electrode layer 62 and the second electrode layer 64 are also described, for example, the layer structure is as follows.
(1) (first electrode layer 62; anode) / light emitting layer / (second electrode layer 64; cathode)
(2) (first electrode layer 62; anode) / hole transport layer / light emitting layer / (second electrode layer 64; cathode)
(3) (first electrode layer 62; anode) / light emitting layer / electron transport layer / (second electrode layer 64; cathode)
(4) (first electrode layer 62; anode) / hole transport layer / light emitting layer / electron transport layer / (second electrode layer 64; cathode)
(5) (first electrode layer 62; anode) / hole injection layer / hole transport layer / light emitting layer / electron transport layer / electron injection layer / (second electrode layer 64; cathode)

  The second electrode layer 64 is a conductive thin film made of a material that reflects light having a wavelength emitted from the organic light emitting layer 63 and serves as a cathode. In other words, the second electrode layer 64 is a reflective film disposed on the back side of the organic light emitting layer 63. The second electrode layer 64 is formed of, for example, a metal such as aluminum (Al), aluminum lithium (Al: Li), or magnesium silver (Mg: Ag), an alloy, or the like. A portion of the second electrode layer 64 is drawn out so as to be exposed from the first sealing member 65 on the other end side facing the one end side of the substrate 61 to form a cathode terminal portion 641.

  The first sealing member 65 and the second sealing member 66 have insulating properties for hermetically sealing the organic EL layer except for the anode terminal portion 621 and the cathode terminal portion 641 in cooperation with the substrate 61. It is a member. For example, a resin-made first sealing member 65 having adhesiveness is applied so as to cover the first electrode layer 62 excluding the anode terminal portion 621, the organic light emitting layer 63 and the second electrode layer 64 excluding the cathode terminal portion 641. The second sealing member 66 made of, for example, a glass plate member is placed on the second electrode layer 64 via the first sealing member 65 and pressure is applied thereto, whereby the second sealing member 66 is applied. Is bonded to the second electrode layer 64 by the first sealing member 65, and the peripheral edge portion of the second sealing member 66 is hermetically bonded and bonded to the substrate 61 by the first sealing member 65. As a result, the first sealing member 65 and the second sealing member 66 cooperate with the substrate 61 to hermetically seal the portion of the organic EL layer excluding the anode terminal portion 621 and the cathode terminal portion 641.

  The anode terminal portion 621 and the cathode terminal portion 641 are connected to the control unit 8 by a wiring material. This control part 8 makes the light emission panel 6 a predetermined lighting state according to the operation condition of the train 1.

  Specifically, when the entrance / exit 11 of the train 1 is opened, the control unit 8 puts the light-emitting panel 6 into the first lighting state and before a predetermined time (for example, 10 seconds before the entrance / exit 11 of the train 1 is closed). ), The light emitting panel 6 is set to the second lighting state.

  For example, the first lighting state is a state in which the light emitting panel 6 is constantly lit, and the second lighting state is a state in which the light emitting panel 6 is lit so as to blink. Alternatively, when a color panel is used as the light emitting panel 6, the light emitting panel 6 is lit so as to emit, for example, yellow light in the first lighting state, and the light emitting panel 6 is red, for example, in the second lighting state. The light emission color may be switched between the first lighting state and the second lighting state so that the light is emitted so as to emit light.

  Thus, in the step integrated light emitting panel 4 of this embodiment, the step 5 for closing the gap 3 between the train 1 and the platform 2 is moved between the storage position and the use position by the moving means 7. Therefore, when the train 1 approaches the platform 2, the platform 5 can be stored in the platform 2, and the platform 5 can be moved to the use position only when necessary.

  In addition, the light emitting panel 6 is incorporated in the step 5 so as to constitute the upper surface 5a of the step 5, and the light emitting panel 6 is set to a predetermined lighting state by the control unit 8 according to the operation status of the train 1. Therefore, the passenger can visually grasp the operation status of the train 1 by visually checking the lighting state of the light emitting panel 6.

  Furthermore, since the light-emitting panel 6 is made of an organic EL element, light diffused to some extent is emitted from the light-emitting panel 6 so that this light is reflected on the outer surface of the train 1. Become. For this reason, the passenger can visually recognize the lighting state of the light-emitting panel 6 even from a place away from the train 1 to some extent, and can make it easier for the passenger to grasp the operation status of the train 1.

  In the embodiment, the light emitting panel 6 is made of an organic EL element. However, the light emitting panel 6 may be made of an inorganic EL element. In this case, an inorganic light emitting layer (not shown) may be employed instead of the organic light emitting layer 63.

  Further, when a rotary type is adopted as the moving means 7, as shown in FIG. 6, the step 5 at the use position is inclined so as to smoothly connect the floor surface of the train 1 and the upper surface of the platform 2. A posture may be adopted. In this way, a person using a wheelchair can easily get on and off the train 1. Moreover, since the light emitting panel 6 is adopted, it is possible to display that the light emitting panel 6 is a wheelchair entrance / exit 11.

It is a perspective view of the boarding platform in which the step board integrated light emission panel which concerns on one Embodiment of this invention was installed, and the entrance / exit vicinity of a train. It is the II-II sectional view taken on the line of FIG. 1, (a) shows the state in which a step is in a stowed position, (b) shows the state in which a step is in a use position.
