Description

  Embodiments of the present invention relate to a viewing elevator capable of viewing an outside scenery from a car window.

  There is an elevator for observation in which an elevator car is provided with a window for observation and the wall surface of the hoistway is made transparent with glass or the like so that the outside scenery can be observed from the window of the elevator car.

  In this type of observation elevator, in order to improve the design, there are some elevators in which the car window can be partially switched to ground glass or switched to a reflective surface so that it can be handled as a mirror. In addition, there is an extension of the car exterior to the frame position in order to hide external structures such as a car frame.

  In the above-described observation elevator, the larger the observation window of the car, the wider the field of view, and the aesthetic appearance for the observation can be ensured. However, when the observation window is enlarged, the window glass spreads to the vicinity of the car floor surface, so that there is a high risk that the window glass will be damaged by accidental kicking by a passenger or collision of a cart or wheelchair.

  In recent years, so-called “machine room-less elevators” in which the machine room of the elevator is eliminated and the control device is installed in the hoistway have become widespread. When such a machine roomless elevator is used for the view, the control device installed in the hoistway is visible from the car, which causes a problem of deteriorating aesthetics.

  Accordingly, there is a need for a viewing elevator that does not impair the beauty of the view when the control device is installed in the hoistway in a machine roomless type.

According to the embodiment, in a machine roomless type observation elevator having a viewing window in a car, and a thin control device for controlling the operation of the car is installed in a pit of a hoistway, The observation window is provided at a position higher than a portion where the control device protrudes upward from the floor level of the lowest floor, and the observation window is prevented from entering the eyes of the user in the car. An elevator for observation in which the height from the floor of the car is set is provided.

In addition, according to another embodiment, for a machine room-less type observation machine having an observation window in a car, and a thin control device for controlling the operation of the car is installed in a pit of a hoistway In the elevator, the observation window is provided up to the position of the car floor, and the control device is higher than the portion of the control floor protruding upward from the floor level of the lowest floor from the car floor inside the observation window. An opaque side plate is provided at a position so as to hide the protruding portion of the control device, and the height of the side plate from the car floor is set so that the control device does not enter the user's eyes in the car. A prospective elevator is provided.

FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view schematically showing a configuration of a viewing elevator according to the sixth embodiment.

  Hereinafter, embodiments will be described with reference to the drawings.

(First embodiment)
FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view schematically showing the configuration of the observation elevator according to the first embodiment, showing the state of the configuration of the lowest floor in the hoistway and the configuration of the car as viewed from the side. .

  The observation elevator has a hoistway 10 surrounded by a transparent body on the outer surface of the building or a hoistway 10 provided in an atrium in the building. A car 11 is provided in the hoistway 10 so that it can be raised and lowered. In FIG. 1, mechanical parts such as a rope and a hoisting machine for raising and lowering the car 11 are omitted.

  A car door 12 is attached to a front door of the car 11 so as to be freely opened and closed. When the car 11 reaches the landing 21 on each floor, the car door 12 engages with a landing door 22 provided on the landing 21 and opens and closes.

  In addition, a viewing window 14 made of transparent glass or the like is provided on at least the side plate 13 on the back side of the three sides (left and right side surfaces and the back side) excluding the front side of the car 11. . The user A who gets in the car 11 can view the outside scenery through the observation window 14. The prospect elevator is also a machine roomless type, and a control device 20 for controlling the operation of the car 11 is installed in the hoistway 10.

  Here, in the case of a prospecting elevator, an aesthetic countermeasure is required to enhance the design from the inside of the car 11 or the outside of the hoistway 10. In particular, in a building where the hoistway 10 is not enclosed and each floor is an atrium floor, there is little space for installing the control device 20, so of course the control device 20 is physically housed. It is necessary to consider an arrangement that does not impair the aesthetics for the user.

  In this case, if the control device 20 is installed on the uppermost part of the hoistway 10, the control device 20 can be seen from the inside of the car 11 and from the outside of the hoistway 10, so that the aesthetics are significantly impaired and the overhead control device. 20 makes me feel anxious.

  Therefore, as shown in FIG. 1, in the pit 10 a that is the bottom of the hoistway 10, a thin control device 20 is installed vertically in the gap between the surface opposite to the landing 21 and the car 11. . Note that “vertical installation” refers to installation with the plane of the apparatus main body oriented vertically (in the up-and-down direction).

  The depth h of the pit 10a of the hoistway 10 is regulated by the rated speed of the elevator. The depth h is the length from the bottom surface of the car 11 stopped on the lowest floor to the floor surface of the pit 10a.

  When installing the control device 20 in the pit 10a of the hoistway 10, it is preferable to install the control device 20 as close to the floor surface of the pit 10a as possible in order to keep a space from the car 11. However, when the length W1 in the height direction (lifting direction) of the vertically arranged control device 20 is longer than the depth h of the pit 10a, one of the control devices 20 is higher than the floor level of the lowest floor. The part will protrude.

  On the other hand, the observation window 14 provided in the car 11 can be structurally extended from the ceiling surface of the car room to the vicinity of the floor surface. If you want an aesthetic view, it is better to take a wide observation window 14. However, as described above, when a part of the control device 20 installed in the pit 10a of the hoistway 10 protrudes above the floor level of the lowest floor, the car 11 stops at the lowest floor. The control device 20 can be seen from the user A, and the aesthetic appearance for the view is impaired.

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, the observation window 14 is provided at a position higher than the length W2 of the portion where the control device 20 protrudes upward from the floor level with reference to the floor level of the lowest floor. The lower part of the observation window 14 is a side plate 13 of the cab, and is formed of an opaque member, so that the protruding portion of the control device 20 can be masked.

  Further, considering the average height of the user A, as shown by the arrow in the figure, the cage of the observation window 14 is arranged so that the control device 20 does not enter the line of sight of the user A standing near the observation window 14. It is preferable to set the height from the floor surface.

  As described above, according to the first embodiment, in the observation elevator, when the control device is installed in the pit of the hoistway, the car is determined from the relationship between the pit depth and the height of the control device in the height direction. If the observation window is provided at such a height that the control device cannot be seen when the vehicle stops on the lowest floor, the aesthetics for the observation can be maintained.

  Further, since the observation window is located at a position higher than the protruding portion of the control device from the floor of the car, it is possible to prevent breakage of the window glass due to kicking by a user, collision of a carriage or a wheelchair, and the like. It is also possible to easily install a handrail on the side plate under the viewing window. Furthermore, since the underside of the observation window is masked by the side plate, it is also a measure for preventing the user's feet in the car from being looked into from outside the hoistway.

(Second Embodiment)
Next, a second embodiment will be described.

  FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view schematically showing the configuration of the observation elevator according to the second embodiment, showing the state of the configuration of the lowest floor in the hoistway and the configuration of the car as viewed from the side. . In addition, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected to the same part as the structure of FIG. 1 in the said 1st Embodiment, and the description shall be abbreviate | omitted.

  In the second embodiment, in addition to the configuration of the first embodiment, an aesthetic appearance from the outside of the hoistway 10 is also taken into consideration. In other words, the passage 31 outside the hoistway 10 on the lowest floor of the building needs to be provided with a strong wall 32 for preventing the fall according to the law. However, if all of the fall-preventing walls 32 are made of a transparent member, the control device 20 can be seen by the passer-by B who passes through the passage 31, and the aesthetic appearance for viewing is impaired.

  Therefore, as shown in FIG. 2, the length of the portion of the control device 20 installed in the pit 10 a of the hoistway 10 protruding upward from the passage surface is defined with reference to the outer passage surface of the hoistway 10. Let W3. A protective glass 33, which is a transparent member, is disposed at a position higher than the length W3 of the protruding portion, and a wall 32 formed of an opaque member is provided in the lower portion in order to hide the control device 20.

  Further, considering the average height of the passer-by B, the height position P from the passage surface of the wall 32 is set so that the control device 20 does not enter the eyes of the passer-by B as shown by the arrow in the figure. It is preferable to set and to form up to the height position P with an opaque member.

  As described above, according to the second embodiment, in addition to the effect of the first embodiment, the passage on the outside of the hoistway is hidden so as to hide the protruding portion of the control device installed in the pit of the hoistway. By providing an opaque portion on the fall-preventing wall provided in the control device, it is possible to make the control device difficult to see from outside the hoistway, and to maintain the beauty of the view.

  In addition, it is possible to prevent a passerby from leaning on the glass portion of the fall prevention wall or kicking it, and to prevent breakage of the glass due to a collision with a carriage or the like.

  In the third embodiment, the height of the observation window 14 from the car floor is changed according to the depth h of the pit 10a of the hoistway 10. That is, the depth h of the pit 10a of the hoistway 10 is determined by the rated speed, building conditions, and the like, and varies depending on the property (building). Therefore, for each property, the height of the observation window 14 from the floor of the car is appropriately set based on the relationship between the depth h of the pit 10a and the length W1 of the control device 20 in the height direction. A window 14 is provided.

In the example of FIG. 3, the depth h of the pit 10a of the hoistway 10 is deeper than the configurations of FIGS. 1 and 2 in the first and second embodiments. Therefore, when the control device 20 is installed in the pit 10a, the portion of the control device 20 that protrudes upward from the floor level of the lowest floor is reduced, so that the height of the observation window 14 from the car floor is reduced accordingly. Can be set short .

  Similarly, with respect to the fall-preventing wall 32 provided in the passage 31 outside the hoistway 10 on the lowest floor of the building, the portion where the control device 20 protrudes upward from the passage surface is reduced. The height of the protective glass 33 from the passage surface can be set short.

  Thus, according to the third embodiment, in addition to the effects of the first and second embodiments, the height of the observation window from the car floor is changed according to the pit depth of the hoistway. As a result, it is possible to secure the aesthetics for the prospect while appropriately hiding the control device for each property.

  In addition, by changing the height from the passage surface of the opaque part of the fall prevention wall provided outside the hoistway according to the pit depth of the hoistway, while appropriately hiding the control device for each property, from the outside Designability when viewed can be improved.
