Description

  The present invention relates to an elevator hall lantern installed on a wall surface of an elevator hall and incorporating a sounding body such as a speaker.

  Usually, in an elevator, a hall lantern is installed at the hall in order to inform waiting passengers at the hall of the arrival of the elevator and to inform the elevator that responds to the hall call. In conjunction with the installation of this hall lantern, an electronic sound chime or the like is installed in order to inform the hall waiting person with the electronic sound of the elevator that responds to the arrival of the elevator or registration of the hall call. In recent years, for the reasons of universal design, voice guidance devices are installed at halls to notify floor announcements and door operation status by voice. When these devices are installed, the problem is how to install the sounding body such as a speaker. As a place where the sound can be heard clearly and it is easy to determine which elevator is ringing, install a speaker in a box with a horn hole near the hall lantern of each elevator or near the top of the hall entrance That is. In this case, if the speaker is installed in any place, it is necessary to make a horn hole in that place. However, in this case, if the horn hole is made, the design will be lost.Therefore, in many cases, speakers are actually installed on the upper part of the landing hanger case on the hoistway side, or the horn hole is not made enough. However, it was difficult to hear the sound and it was difficult to determine which elevator was used.

  Conventionally, incandescent bulbs have been mainly used as hole lantern light emitters, but in recent years, LED elements have been used as light emitters, and the wall-embedded boxes for storing the light emitters that were required in the past have been abolished. A hole lantern having a structure of being directly attached to a wall has been proposed (for example, see Patent Document 1). In addition, a hall lantern having such a structure with a built-in speaker has been proposed (see, for example, Patent Document 2).

  In a conventional hall lantern, the horn hole of the speaker for producing sound is assumed to be on the face plate side of the instrument, so the problem of design is still an unavoidable problem.

  The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems, and in a hall lantern of an elevator incorporating a speaker or other sounding body, a horn hole for emitting sound waves from the sounding body such as the speaker to the outside Is provided on the back side of the hall lantern body, and a hall lantern for an elevator is provided which forms a space where sound waves can be emitted to the outside between the wall surface to which the hall lantern is attached.

  In the hall lantern of the elevator according to the present invention, the back surface is opened and a light-transmitting illuminator formed in a box shape, and a light-emitting body that is provided in the illuminating body and is turned on in response to an external lighting signal A back plate provided to close the back opening of the illuminator, a sounding body attached to the back plate and disposed in a space formed between the light emitter and the back plate, and the back plate Provided with a horn hole for emitting sound waves emitted from the sounding body to the outside, and attachment means for attaching the back plate at a certain distance from the attachment wall.

  Further, in the hall lantern of the elevator according to the present invention, the back surface is opened, and a light-transmitting illuminating body formed in a box shape, and provided in the illuminating body, are turned on in response to a lighting signal from the outside. A light emitter, a back plate provided so as to close the back opening of the light emitter, and inclined to enter the box-shaped light body as it goes downward; and a light emitter attached to the back plate, A sounding body disposed in a space formed between the inclined surface of the back plate, a horn hole provided at a mounting position of the sounding body of the back plate and emitting sound waves emitted from the sounding body to the outside, and the back It is provided with attachment means for attaching the plate away from the attachment wall as it goes downward.

  According to the present invention, since a space is formed between the back surface of the hall lantern and the hall lantern mounting wall, sound waves emitted from a sounding body such as a speaker through a horn hole formed in the back plate are emitted to the space. In addition, since the horn hole is not visible to the elevator user, the appearance design is not impaired. In addition, if the back plate is arranged so as to move away from the mounting wall as it goes downward, even if water falls from the top of the hole lantern, water will enter the horn hole, It is possible to eliminate the problem that the sounding body such as a speaker gets wet.

Embodiment 1 FIG.
Embodiment 1 of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.
1 is a front view showing a hall lantern of an elevator according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a sectional view taken along line AA in FIG. 1, and FIG. 3 is a sectional view taken along line BB in FIG. FIG.

  In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes an illuminating body formed in a box shape having a back surface opened with a translucent acrylic resin or the like, and a mounting step portion is formed at a peripheral edge portion inside the back surface opening portion. Reference numeral 2 denotes a flat light emitter configured by attaching a large number of LED elements to a substrate, which is inserted into the light emitter 1 from the rear opening side of the light emitter 1, and its peripheral portion is on the mounting step portion of the light emitter 1. Is attached. The light emitter 2 is turned on in response to an external lighting signal. Reference numeral 3 denotes a lid-like back plate provided so as to close the rear opening of the illuminator 1, and the light emitter 2 is fixed to the mounting step of the illuminator 1. A sounding body 4 including a speaker or the like attached to the center of the back plate 3 is arranged in a space formed between the light emitter 2 and the back plate 3. The sounding body 4 generates sound in response to an external audio signal. Reference numeral 5 denotes a horn hole formed in the back plate 3 to emit sound waves emitted from the sounding body 4 attached to the back plate 3 to the outside of the hole lantern, and 6 denotes a plurality of holes between the back plate 3 and the hole lantern mounting wall 7. With the provided hollow cylindrical spacer, the rear surface of the hole lantern can be attached at a certain distance from the attachment wall 7. Reference numeral 8 denotes a mounting screw that is passed through the hollow cylindrical spacer 6 and attaches and fixes the hole lantern to the mounting wall 7. A cable for transmitting an audio signal is inserted through the wiring hole 10 formed in the mounting wall 7 and the hollow portion of the hollow cylindrical spacer 6 to the light emitting body 2 inside the hole lantern and the sounding body 4 such as a speaker. Connected.

  By adopting the structure as described above, a space is created between the back plate 3 on the back side of the hall lantern and the hall lantern mounting wall 7, so that the horn hole formed in the back plate 3 from the sounding body 4 such as a speaker. The sound wave emitted through 5 can be emitted to the space, and the horn hole 5 is not visible to the elevator user, so the appearance design is not impaired. At this time, a hollow cylindrical spacer is used as a structure for installing the hole lantern at a fixed distance from the mounting wall 7, but a bolt or nut is used, or a sheet metal or a structure is used. Needless to say, it may be provided such as between the hall lantern and the mounting wall.

Example 2
