Normally, Mlo is blocked by the rescue opening 9, but in an emergency situation when it is necessary to rescue passengers inside the car, a rescue worker must climb onto the ceiling 7 of the car and rotate the lid 10 upward. The rescue exit 9 is opened and the passengers inside the car room 1 are rescued to the outside.

[Problem B to be solved by the invention] Since the conventional passenger rescue device in the elevator car is configured as described above, when an abnormality occurs in the elevator,
When evacuating passengers inside the car to the outside of the car, the rescue exit is located on the ceiling of the car, so it is taller than the passengers, and in order to rescue passengers from the exit, it is necessary to use a stepladder, robes, etc. There was a problem in that it was troublesome to have to prepare tools, and the rescue work was difficult and the rescue could not be carried out in a short time. But 1. In order to solve these problems, a bendable ladder is housed in a vertical long groove temporarily installed in the wall of the car to facilitate escape from the rescue exit, as reported in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 32-11843. It has been proposed as an emergency escape device for elevator cars.

However, the passenger rescue exits 9 in each of the above-mentioned conventional examples are all formed in the ceiling 7, and are provided at positions that take into account the safety of rescue work because they are subject to legal dimension restrictions in elevator safety standards. That is a must. Therefore, there is a problem in that the design of the ceiling is restricted.

This invention was made in order to solve the above-mentioned problems, and is a method for rescuing passengers from a car interior that does not require rescue tools and does not impose restrictions on the design of the ceiling. The purpose is to provide an elevator cab equipped with a device.

[Means for Solving the Problems] The elevator car according to the present invention has a rescue passage provided in a part of the wall of the car with a lifting means that communicates from the car to the back side of the ceiling. A door that can be opened and closed and also serves as the wall of the car room is provided in the communication area with the passenger compartment.

[Function 1] The rescue passage of the elevator car in this invention enables communication between the car interior and the rescue passage by opening an openable/closable door that also serves as a wall of the car, and the elevating means of the rescue passage allows the ceiling to be Escape to the back side is possible. Therefore, unlike in the past, there is no need to provide a rescue exit in the ceiling, which improves the design of the ceiling without placing any restrictions on it, and also allows special equipment such as stepladders or ropes to be used when rescuing passengers in emergency situations. Passenger rescue work can be carried out safely and quickly without the need for any rescue tools.

[Embodiment] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the elevator cab of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In the figure, FIG. 3 is a conventional example.

Components that are the same as those in FIG. 4 are given the same reference numerals, and their explanation will be omitted, and the explanation will focus on the different sections.

Reference numeral 11 denotes a rescue passageway formed by recessing a part of the front wall 12 of the car room 1 to form a chimney shape. Steps 13 which also serve as handrails are fixed to the inner wall surface of the rescue passageway 11 at regular intervals. Reference numeral 14 denotes a door that can be opened and closed and also serves as the front wall 12 of the car room 1. It is always closed during normal operation of the elevator, and is opened by unlocking from the rescue passageway 11 side only in the event of an abnormality. 1 can be contacted. Reference numeral 15 denotes a rescue palate that enables communication with the back side of the ceiling 7 provided above the rescue passageway 11. Reference numeral 16 denotes a lighting fixture provided at the top of the rescue passage 11, which is turned on to illuminate the inside of the rescue passage 11 when the rescue mouth cover 15 of the rescue passage 11 is opened.

According to the embodiment of the present invention configured as described above,
If an abnormal situation occurs due to an elevator malfunction, etc., and passengers are trapped inside the car room 1, rescuers must access the rescue opening 1 of the rescue passageway 11 from the back side of the ceiling 7 of the car room 1.
5, go down the rescue passage Il in step 13, unlock the door 14 that also serves as the front wall 12 from the back side, and open door 1.
4 is opened to enable communication between the inside of the car room 1 and the rescue passageway 11, passengers in the car room 1 can be led to the back side of the ceiling 7 via the rescue passageway 11, and further rescued from inside the hoistway to the passenger side. can. In addition, a lighting device 16 is installed at the top of the rescue passage 11, and it is designed to turn on during the rescue operation.
