In the outdoor observation elevator disclosed in Patent Document 1, rainwater is prevented from falling into and entering between the landing and the car and exposing passengers to rainwater. In Patent Document 1, rainwater enters and falls into the gap between the landing and the car by providing the landing-side scattering entry prevention member and the car-side scattering entry prevention member at an inclination on the landing side and the car side, respectively. To prevent that.

JP 2002-362869 A

  According to Patent Document 1, rainwater is prevented from falling into a gap between a landing and a car, and passengers are prevented from getting wet. However, the outdoor viewing elevator is also affected by the outdoor environment in other parts.

  For example, in an outdoor observation elevator car apparatus, during rain, rainwater may be transmitted from the car top surface exterior panel to the car side surface exterior panel, or from the roof exterior panel to the observation glass, thereby fouling the elevator car. In addition, since rainwater or the like eventually falls below the elevator car, there are problems such as giving an unpleasant feeling to passers-by. In addition, if rainwater or a lump of snow falls down the car side exterior panel, the viewing glass may become cloudy, and passengers may feel uncomfortable when looking at the outside scenery.

  The above-mentioned problems are caused in the elevator car. Among these, the counterweight has the same problem in that rainwater or the like falls downward and gives an unpleasant feeling to the passerby.

  In view of the above, an object of the present invention is to provide an outdoor viewing elevator that can solve various problems caused by a car or the like when it rains.

  In the present invention, it is composed of a car room for passengers and a car upper room which is provided in the upper part of the car room and stores mechanical parts. The car room door is located in front of the car room, and the back of the car room is used for observation. A viewing elevator car with glass and a vertical frame on the height side of the car room and the car upper room facing the guide rail, and an exterior plate that forms the upper part of the car upper room. It is characterized by guiding rain water in the direction of the vertical frame.

  ADVANTAGE OF THE INVENTION According to this invention, in an outdoor observation elevator, it is possible to prevent water accumulation (rust prevention) outdoors by preventing water from accumulating in the car.

The figure which shows the side view of the elevator car for observation which concerns on this invention. The figure which shows the structure of the raising / lowering system of a general prospect elevator car. The figure which shows the rear view of the elevator car for observation which concerns on this invention. The figure which shows the measure in the counterweight.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the examples shown in the drawings.

  As shown in FIG. 2, a general elevator car lifting system is configured as follows. First, a hoisting machine 1 is installed in an upper machine room 11 or the like, and a main rope 2 is stretched over the hoisting machine 1. An elevator car 3 is suspended from one end of the main rope 2 and a counterweight 4 is attached to the other end of the rope. The elevator car 3 ascends and descends along a car guide rail (not shown) disposed in the height direction in the vicinity of both side portions (the front side in the figure) of the elevator car 3. The counterweight 4 is also configured to move up and down along guide rails disposed in the vicinity of both sides of the counterweight. When the elevator is an observation elevator, the hoistway of the counterweight is arranged at a position that does not interfere with the view of the passenger in the observation elevator car 3 as much as possible.

  In FIG. 2, reference numeral 10 denotes a building in which the observation elevator car 3 is installed on the outer wall side, and a building-side elevator door 12 is provided on each floor of the building. The car door 5 of the observation elevator car 3 is positioned at a position facing the building-side elevator door 12 in a state of stopping on each floor.

  In the observation elevator car 3 of FIG. 2, when the surface on which the car door 5 is attached is the front, both sides (front side in the figure) and back (right side in the figure) of the observation elevator car 3 For securing, it is made of a transparent member such as glass. Furthermore, the upper surface and the lower surface of the elevator car 3 for observation may be made of a transparent member as far as possible.

  FIG. 1 shows a side view of a viewing elevator car according to the present invention. The elevator car 3 for viewing is composed of a car room 3A in which passengers ride, and a car upper room 3B that is formed in the upper part of the car room 3A and stores car upper parts such as a door opening / closing mechanism and an air conditioner. Yes.

  Of these, the cab 3A in which passengers ride is formed in a box shape mainly by the exterior panel 6, and the car door 5 and the observation glass 7 are arranged in a part thereof. The car room 3A is a car body in which a car door 5 is attached to the left side (front side) of FIG. 1 and a viewing glass 7 is arranged on the right side (rear side) of FIG. As described above, the car room 3A is formed by surrounding the car body except for the car door 5 and the observation glass 7 with the exterior panel 6, and the exterior panel 6 extends upward from the car room 3A. Is provided. A car upper chamber 3 </ b> B is formed by an exterior panel 6 provided to extend above the car chamber.

  Since FIG. 1 shows a side view of the elevator car for observation, the exterior panel 6 on the front side in the drawing represents the car side exterior panel 6. Standing frames 13 are respectively attached to the vertical direction of the substantially central portion of the car side exterior panel 6 corresponding to both side surfaces of the car room. The elevator is moved up and down by a standing frame 13 along a car guide rail (not shown) disposed in the height direction in the vicinity of both side portions (the front side in the figure) of the elevator car 3. Further, the elevator car 3 is suspended by the main rope 2 above the standing frame 13.

  Thus, the car constituted by the car room 3A and the car upper room 3B is a box body in which a substantial part of the four surfaces and the upper and lower surfaces are formed by the exterior panel 6. In particular, the side surface (the car door 5 is disposed on the front surface and the observation glass 7 is disposed on the rear surface) and the upper and lower surfaces are formed by the exterior panel 6.

  In the present invention, in the outdoor viewing elevator, the exterior panel 6 is arranged as follows in order to prevent water from collecting in the car. First, attention is paid to the upper car chamber 3B formed in the upper part of the car room 3A. The car upper chamber 3B covers a car upper part such as a door opening / closing mechanism and an air conditioner installed in the upper part of the car room with a car side surface outer panel and a car upper surface outer panel.

  In the present invention, the upper surface exterior panel 6BU that forms the upper surface of the car upper chamber 3B is disposed to be inclined in the direction of the upright frame 13 in the side view of FIG. The upper surface exterior panel 6BU that forms the upper surface of the car upper chamber 3B is disposed so as to be inclined so that the center position P2 is lower than the illustrated side surface position P1.

  FIG. 3 is a rear view of the observation elevator car according to the present invention. In the rear view of FIG. 3, since the standing frame 13 is located on the left and right, the upper surface exterior panel 6BU that forms the upper surface of the car upper chamber 3B is arranged such that the side position P2 is lower than the center position P1 in the figure. This means that the upper surface exterior panel 6BU that forms the upper surface of the upper chamber 3B is inclined.

  This allows rainwater to drop downward from the upper surface exterior panel 6BU in the direction of the guide roller formed by the standing frame 13, and prevents rainwater from being transmitted from the top surface exterior panel 6BU to the viewing glass 7 during rain. can do.

  Further, in the present invention, attention is paid to the upper ceiling board 8 at the top of the cab 3A. The upper ceiling board 8 in the upper part of the cab 3A is basically inclined by adopting the same concept as the upper exterior panel 6BU. Thus, rainwater is dropped downward from the upper ceiling plate 8 in the upper part of the cab 3A in the direction of the guide roller formed by the upright frame 13, and the rainwater falls on the upper ceiling plate in the upper part of the cab 3A. 8 can be prevented from being transmitted to the viewing glass 7.

  Further, in the present invention, attention is paid to the upper portion 7U of the observation glass 7. Although this portion is not the exterior panel 6, it is possible to prevent rainwater from collecting in the observation window when it rains by tilting the upper surface outward.

  Further, in the present invention, attention is paid to the lower exterior panel 6AL of the cab 3A. By inclining the lower exterior panel 6AL of the cab 3A, rainwater does not collect in the lower exterior panel 6AL of the cab 3A to prevent rust. The inclination direction in this case also induces rainwater in the direction of the standing frame 13. With these structures, it is possible to prevent water accumulation (rust prevention) outdoors by adopting a structure that does not collect water by actively draining with a cage.

  As described above, the countermeasures for rain in the elevator car have been described. However, it is better to take countermeasures for counterweights from the viewpoint that rainwater or the like falls downward and gives an unpleasant feeling to passers-by.

  FIG. 4 is a diagram showing a countermeasure in the counterweight. FIG. 4 is a view of the elevator car as viewed from above. In order to support the elevator car 3 so as to be movable up and down, two sets of left and right rail support beams 20A and 20B are provided from the building 10 side. Rail brackets 21A, 21B1, 21B2 are extended and fixed from the rail supporting beams 20A, 20B.

  Of these, 21A is a car rail bracket that supports the guide rail RA of the car 3. 13A is an upright frame 13 provided on the side surface of the elevator car 4, and the car 3 can be moved up and down by a guide roller (not shown) on the upright frame 13 side being in press contact with the car rail bracket 21A. Yes.

  21B2 is a rail bracket for the counterweight, and supports the guide rail RW2 of the counterweight 4. A side frame of the counterweight 4 is provided with a standing frame 13C, and a guide roller (not shown) on the side of the standing frame 13C presses and contacts the counterweight rail bracket 21B2 to allow the counterweight 4 to move up and down. Yes.

  21B1 is a car / counterweight combined rail bracket. A guide rail RB is supported on the cage side of the rail bracket 21B1, and a guide rail RW2 is supported on the counterweight 4 side. Reference numerals 13B and 13D are vertical frames of the car 3 and the counterweight 4, and their functions are the same as those of the other vertical frames, and thus the description thereof is omitted.

In the embodiment of the present invention, it is preferable to take countermeasures against rainfall for the counterweight 4 as well. In FIG. 4, the height position of the counterweight 4 center portion P <b> 1 is set higher than the height position of the counterweight 4 on the guide rail R side P <b> 2. As a result, the rain that falls on the counterweight 4 flows from the standing frame 13 to the guide rail R side, and it is possible to prevent an unpleasant feeling from being given to a passerby below due to scattering of raindrops.
Reference numeral 13A denotes an upright frame 13 provided on the side surface of the elevator car 4, and a guide roller (not shown) on the upright frame 13 side presses and comes into contact with the car rail bracket 21A to enable vertical movement.
