Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to an elevator car with an auxiliary lighting device.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A conventional elevator car that draws a pattern by surface emission is known from Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 62-181581. In this case, no consideration was given to reducing the feeling of pressure in the car by making the car feel a space in the depth of the car.

Heretofore, in the case of producing an effect of giving a feeling of a depth space by lighting, a method of projecting a shadow on a screen in front of a light source has been used.

[0004]

In the conventional method of making a viewer feel the depth of space by illumination, the distance between the screen projecting the shadow and the light source must be large, and the depth space from the surface projecting the shadow is large. Therefore, it cannot be applied to an elevator, which has a small space between the car wall and the hoistway, such as an elevator.

An object of the present invention is to provide an elevator car equipped with an auxiliary lighting device that can be applied to an elevator car and can produce a feeling of a deep space in a small space.

[0006]

In order to achieve the above object, both sides of light from a light source installed on the end face of the surface light emitting plate are emitted through a surface light emitting plate arranged on the wall surface of the cab.
The pattern is reflected as a shadow on the front surface of the surface light emitting plate by reflecting it on the patterned reflection plate provided on the back surface of the surface light emitting plate.

A screen for projecting a shadow is arranged in front of the surface light emitting plate.

Further, a device for moving the pattern is attached.

[0009]

According to the present invention, the light source can be installed on the end face of the surface light emitting plate by using the surface light emitting plate that uniformly emits the light entering from the end face, and the surface light emitting plate can be installed. By emitting light from both sides, the pattern of the patterned reflector on the back of the surface emitting plate can be projected on the front as a shadow. Accordingly, since the depth dimension of the auxiliary lighting device is smaller than that in the conventional lighting method, the auxiliary lighting device can be installed in a small space between the elevator car wall and the hoistway, and a depth space can be produced.

[0010]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS.

As shown in FIG. 2, a ceiling 1, a wall surface 2 and a floor 3
In the elevator car configured as above, the auxiliary lighting device 4 is provided between the rail 5 and the floor 3 at the lower part of the wall surface 2 in front when viewed from the entrance.

FIG. 1 shows the details of the auxiliary lighting device 4. Reference numeral 6 is a screen with a light shoji that is embedded in the wall surface of a car, 7 is a surface light emitting plate that emits light from both end surfaces, and 8 is a pattern. Is a reflecting plate, 9 is a fluorescent lamp installed on the end face of the surface light-emitting plate 7, and 10 is a mounting plate for the fluorescent lamp.

The light emitted from the fluorescent lamp 9 enters from the end surface of the surface light emitting plate 7 and causes both the front surface and the rear surface of the surface light emitting plate 7 to emit light.
It is reflected by the reflecting plate 8 on which the pattern after the surface light emitting plate 7 is printed.
Then, the non-reflecting pattern portion of the reflecting plate 8 is projected as a shadow on the kari shoji-like screen 6 on the car wall surface 2.

As described above, by installing the fluorescent lamp 9 on the end surface of the surface light emitting plate 7 and using the surface light emitting plate 7 that emits light entering from both end surfaces, the space between the car wall surface 2 and the hoistway is reduced. Even if it is small, you can project a shadow and feel the depth of the car. In addition, since it is possible to give a feeling that external light is coming in from the shoji of the lower part of the wall surface 2 of the car, and to create a natural and soft atmosphere, it is possible to further reduce the feeling of closed room and pressure in the car. Further, the pattern corresponding to the season can be displayed only by exchanging the reflecting plate 8 on which the pattern is printed, and various effects such as seasonal changes can be inexpensively performed in a short time.

Next, a second embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. The upper part of the reflecting plate 8 on which the pattern was printed was hung on the fluorescent lamp mounting plate 10 by the spring 11, and the cam 13 was mounted between the lower part of the reflecting plate 8 and the motor 12 installed on the floor.

As the motor 12 rotates, the reflection plate 8 moves up and down, and the shadow projected on the screen 6 also moves up and down.

By attaching a device for moving the reflection plate 8 in this way, not only a still image but also a moving image can be displayed on the screen 6. If the pattern of the reflection plate 8 is made of leaves, the leaves move and the wind blows outside.

Next, a third embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. Either one of the left and right sides of the reflection plate 8 on which the pattern was printed was supported by the attachment plate 14 by the spring 11, and the cam 13 was attached between the other one of the reflection plate 8 and the motor 12 installed on the floor.

As the motor 12 rotates, the reflection plate 8 moves left and right, and the shadow projected on the screen 6 also moves left and right.

In this case, only the direction of movement is different from that of the second embodiment. Therefore, in combination with the second embodiment, the magnitude of vibration can be adjusted by making vertical and horizontal movements or changing the number of rotations of the motor 12. If you change the, various movements will appear in the shadow, and the effect of production will increase.

Next, a fourth embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

The pattern-printed reflector 8 after the surface light-emitting plate 7 is eliminated, and a special pattern-printed pattern is directly provided on the surface light-emitting plate 7 after the screen 6 embedded in the car wall surface 2.

In this case, a surface light-emitting plate 7 capable of partial light emission or partial light shielding is used, and the non-lighting portion is shaded as a screen 6.
Projected on.

As described above, since the reflector 8 is unnecessary, it can be installed in a place where the space is smaller.

Next, a fifth embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

The screen 6 embedded in the car wall surface 2 is eliminated, the surface light-emitting plate 7 is directly embedded in the car wall surface 2, and the pattern-printed reflection plate 8 is provided behind it.

The light emitted from the fluorescent lamp 9 enters from the end surface of the surface light emitting plate 7 and causes both the front surface and the rear surface of the surface light emitting plate 7 to emit light.
It is reflected by the reflecting plate 8 on which the pattern after the surface light emitting plate 7 is printed.
The non-reflecting pattern portion of the reflection plate 8 is projected as a shadow on the surface light emitting plate 7 embedded in the car wall surface 2.

In this case as well, like the fourth embodiment, it can be installed in a place with a smaller space.

[0029]

As described above, according to the present invention, an auxiliary lighting device capable of producing a feeling of a deep space in a small space can be installed in an elevator car.
