Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION (Industrial Field of Application) The present invention relates to an elevator mainly for viewing, which is provided with a lighting device such as an illumination on the exterior panel of the car.

(Prior Art) Generally, the purpose of adopting an observation elevator is to allow passengers in the car to enjoy the scenery outside the car from the observation window, but it is also useful for those who view it from outside. One of the important purposes is to serve as an accessory and enhance the overall image of the building. For this reason, great importance was placed on the design of the outer part of the car that can be seen from the outside of the building, and the front part of the car, excluding the observation window facing the outside of the building, was not only covered with a good-looking exterior panel, but also covered with a good-looking exterior panel. Many are equipped with lighting devices such as illuminations.

5 and 6 show a conventional observation elevator equipped with a lighting device. An observation window 3 in which a window glass or the like is fitted is provided on the peripheral side wall of the car compartment 2 of the passenger car 1 at a portion facing the outside of the building, and the front part except for the observation window 3 is covered with a good-looking exterior panel 4. ing.

At the top and bottom of this exterior panel 4 with the observation window 3 in between,
A lighting device 5 such as an illumination is provided to make the elevator look more spectacular especially at night and to further enhance the design.

As shown in the figure, this illumination device 5 has an opening 6 of an arbitrary shape in a part of the exterior panel 4, a light-transmitting plate 7 made of acrylic resin or the like is attached to the opening 6, and the back side of the light-transmitting plate 7 is A lighting box 8 is provided facing each of the elevators, and lighting fixtures 9 are installed in a large number of rows within the lighting box 8. By sequentially blinking these lighting fixtures 9, the transparent plate 7 is illuminated, and the elevator is illuminated. Dynamic expressions that match the movement of ascending and descending are becoming more common.

(Problem to be Solved by the Invention) By the way, in the above-mentioned conventional observation elevator, since the lighting device 5 is provided with a large number of lighting fixtures 9 and the lamps 9a are blinked, The number of parts is large, which increases the equipment cost, and it is difficult to assemble it because it is troublesome to fit it into the narrow lighting box 8. Moreover, since the lamps 9a of each lighting fixture 9 repeatedly flash and flash, their lifespan is short and they must be frequently replaced with new lamps, which is uneconomical.In addition, the replacement work and maintenance/inspection work of each individual lamp 9a is troublesome. , poor workability (may result in damage to the lamp 9a, etc.)
There was also a risk of injury to workers.

In addition, in particular, in order to widen the illumination range, if the light-transmitting plate 7 is extended to the vicinity of the observation window 2 and the lighting equipment 9- is placed deep inside, the light-transmitting plate 7 will be out of reach of maintenance and inspection personnel. It was troublesome to take measures such as making the plate 7 removable and providing a separate opening for inspection. On the other hand, in order to give priority to maintenance and inspection, the opening 6 of the light-transmitting plate 7 would have to be reduced, which would impose restrictions on the design and other problems.

The present invention has been developed in view of the above circumstances, and solves the conventional problems, makes assembly, maintenance and inspection work very easy, has a long life, greatly simplifies replacement work, and improves economy and work safety. It is an object of the present invention to provide an elevator for viewing, etc., equipped with an excellent illumination device and with fewer restrictions in terms of design.

(Means for Solving the Problems) In order to achieve the above object, the elevator of the present invention is an elevator in which a lighting device is provided on the exterior panel of the car so that the ascending and descending state of the wave car can be seen from outside the building. , the illumination device includes a light emitting body disposed on the back side of a transparent plate made of acrylic resin or the like that constitutes a part of the exterior panel, and a hole or slit etc. arranged around the outer periphery of the light emitting body so as to be rotatable. The present invention is characterized in that it is constructed using a light projector including a light-shielding body having a light-transmitting portion and projecting light onto the light-transmitting plate through which light from the light-emitting body passes.

(Function) In the elevator having the above configuration, when the light emitter of the floodlight of the illumination device is turned on and the light shield is rotated in this state, the light from the light emitter is transmitted through the hole or slit around the rotating light shield. A beautiful dynamic expression of light that emerges from a transparent part such as a mirror and moves one after another onto a transparent plate attached to an exterior panel, resembling an illumination similar to that of a large number of lighting fixtures blinking one after another. You will be able to do this.

Furthermore, since the illumination device is constructed using a light projector consisting of a light emitting body and a light blocking body having a transparent part such as a hole or slit that can be rotated around the outer circumference of the light emitting body, the number of parts is small. Not only can equipment costs be significantly reduced, there is also more space available, making assembly easier. Moreover, since the issuer does not blink, it has a long life and does not require replacement, making it economical, and maintenance and inspection work is extremely easy, eliminating damage to parts and injury to workers.

Furthermore, the illumination range can be freely expanded without being burdened with maintenance and inspection work, and there are no restrictions on the design.

(Example) An example of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2. The overall configuration of car 1 of the observation elevator is the 5th car.
Since it is substantially the same as that shown in the figure, illustration is omitted. 1st
The figure is a sectional view corresponding to FIG. 6, and FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the projector.

Here, a lighting device 15 such as an illumination device is provided at a suitable portion of the exterior panel 4 that covers the front surface of the car room 2. This illumination device 15 has an opening 6 of an arbitrary shape in a part of the exterior panel 4, a light-transmitting plate 7 made of acrylic resin or the like is attached to the opening 6, and the back side of the light-transmitting plate 7 is opposed to the light-transmitting plate 7. A lighting box 18 is provided, and the center recess 1 of this lighting box 18 is
One floodlight is installed inside 8a. The floodlight 19 includes a light emitting body 20 such as a fluorescent lamp, and is rotatably arranged around the outer periphery of the light emitting body 20 so as to house the light emitting body 20, and has a transparent part 21a such as a hole or a slit around the light emitting body. and a cylindrical light shielding body 21 that allows light to pass through and be projected onto the transparent plate 7. Note that 22 is a rotating machine such as a motor that rotates the light shielding body 21 .

Therefore, in the elevator configured as described above, the lighting bag gl15
If the light emitter 20 of the floodlight 19 is turned on and the cylindrical light shield 21 is rotated in this state, the light from the light emitter 20 will pass through holes or slits around the rotating light shield 21. The transparent plate 7 that comes out from the section 21a and is assembled to the exterior panel 4
The image appears to be moving one after another. Although this is a relatively simple configuration, it is possible to create a beautiful dynamic expression using moving light, similar to illumination when a large number of lighting fixtures are turned on and off in sequence, and will entertain people who view it from outside the building.

Further, the illumination device 5 includes a light emitter 20 and a light shielding body 21 rotatably arranged around the outer circumference of the light emitter 20.
Since it is constructed using two parts, the number of parts is small and equipment costs can be significantly reduced, and there is also ample space and assembly is easy. Moreover, since the issuer 20 does not need to be blinked and can be left on at all times, it has a long life and almost does not require replacement, making it economical, and maintenance and inspection work centered on lamp replacement is extremely easy.
Eliminates damage to parts and injuries to workers. Furthermore, since there is no need to provide a large number of lighting fixtures arranged over the entire area of the translucent plate 7, the illumination range can be freely expanded without being burdened with maintenance and inspection work, and the design is improved. You will no longer be subject to restrictions.

Next, another embodiment of the present invention will be described.

First, in FIG. 3, a similar cylindrical color filter 23 is removably incorporated into the inner circumferential surface of the rotating light shielding body 21 of the light projector 19 of the illumination device 15. The light can illuminate the floodlight plate 7 to further enhance the presentation effect, and the color of the light can be selected by replacing the color filter 23 with one of any color depending on the season.

In the case of FIG. 4, the light from the light projector 19 is not directed to the light projecting plate 7, but a reflecting mirror 2 is placed on the back side of the light projecting plate 7.
4 is disposed, and the light from the light projector 19 is reflected by a reflecting mirror 24 to indirectly illuminate the light projecting plate 7. In this case, by forming reflection #1!24 into a curved surface, waveform, or uneven shape, an accent is created in the movement of the light, and even more interesting expressions can be achieved.
