Description

[Detailed description of the invention] Integrated elevator interior equipment Technical field The present invention relates to an elevator system, and particularly to control buttons, control panels, and display devices. Such as elevator room equipment panels and their arrangement in the elevator room.

Conventional technology.

As is well known, a typical conventional elevator indoor system has a basic 1c a control panel, which is a flat array of control buttons fixed to the wall of the elevator room; Usually used to indicate the location of the elevator and possibly its direction of travel, i.e. up/down. is located on the walls of the elevator room that are visible to most passengers, and in many cases is located on the control panel. placed on or above the elevator room door, but may also be placed above the elevator room door. It is equipped with a display device of the following types.

The main criterion for determining where to place these fittings in the elevator room is the control panel. The ease of operation of the buttons and the visibility of the display device. In particular, the control buttons must be within easy reach, and the display must be visible to other passengers. (It must be placed high enough so that it is easily visible to all passengers.) Must be.

However, this typical device is typically used for normal passengers, that is, of average height. are arranged for standing passengers, children and disabled passengers, especially those in wheelchairs. There are some passengers who have limited reach and whose line of sight is easily cut off by passengers. These devices are often very difficult for passengers to operate. Like this, this Typical equipment and its location in elevator rooms may also use elevators It would be very inconvenient for certain passengers who would There are calls for making it more convenient for such passengers. But what kind of solution However, no passenger should be inconvenienced, and these devices should not be used by children. A normal standing person of average height and reach should be It must be equally convenient for those who use it.

In order to unify the requirements to alleviate some of these problems, National Elevato r　Industry　As5organization. most The proposed basic equipment dimensions for Control buttons must be at a height of no more than 35' (g 7.3 crn) above the floor. The top row of keys must be thrown below 54' (/35C:TL) above the floor. It is. The dimensions of the bottom of the device are satisfactory for a disabled person in a wheelchair. however, it is actually too low for normal standing passengers, especially in crowded elevator cars. It becomes difficult to see or touch the lower button when the button is pressed. table Although no rejection has been proposed for display devices, this naturally also solves the problem in the above section. should be directed towards.

The object of the invention is to create an elevator that is easy to use for both disabled and normal standing passengers. The purpose of the present invention is to provide indoor equipment such as control panels and display devices.

According to the first feature of the present invention, there is a main control for selecting landing and controlling door operation. Gohitan is convenient for passengers who are lower than the set height range that normally consists of standing passengers. placed in a position on the floor where it can be reached by hand. In this low position Some rows of buttons inside the Rohotan: ・Well, this is what a normal crying passenger can see. The plan is based on the distance of the buttons from the floor so that they can be touched by passengers. directed upward at an angle.

According to another feature of the invention, the display device is located above the floor and above the button for communication. Not only is it easy to see for regular standing passengers (lower than average height passengers, i.e. wheelchairs) The display device is placed in a place where it can be easily seen by passengers riding on the train. Directed downward at an angle based on the expected height relative to the customer and the location of the display on the floor. Ru.

Therefore, the present invention is not only convenient for a particular passenger, but is useful for all kinds of passengers. passengers can see and operate the control buttons, as well as control the car's location and operation. A composite device, i.e. an integrated device, that ensures that the display device is easily visible to all passengers. Provide equipment.

Other objects and features of the invention can be found in the following description of embodiments of the invention with reference to the accompanying drawings. It will become clear.

Brief description of the drawing Figure 1 is a partially cutaway side view of an elevator room containing a conventional control panel. a diagram showing the viewing angles of a typical adult passenger and a child passenger inside; Figure Ω is a diagram similar to Figure 7, but showing the field of view of a typical passenger in a wheelchair. figure, Figure 3 shows an elevator room equipped with an elevator indoor device according to the present invention, viewed from the side. FIG. Figure 1 is a side view similar to Figure 1, but shows the first corner of the passenger in a wheelchair. and FIG. 5 is a trunk view of the control panel according to the present invention.

Figure 1 shows a child 10 and an adult 2 standing in an elevator room (partially shown). and looking at a conventional generally flat control panel 14 mounted on the wall 15 of the room. It shows where you are. The control panel 14 has a plurality of panels arranged along its length. It should also include a display device on the upper part of the control panel 14A. However, , these buttons and display devices are not shown because they are well known.Dotted lines A and B , C and O are each passenger's line of sight with respect to both ends 14A and 14B of the control panel 14.

This control panel is designed for adults only (which is most likely the case). It is located lower than the control panel, which means it is convenient for both adults and children (easy to see and reach). (easy). Therefore, along the adult's line of sight A, The distance along line B is not the same as the distance along line B; J6 has become narrower, making it difficult for adults to see and reach the lower end. In the case of the device 10, on the contrary, the viewing angle 17 with respect to the upper end 14A of the control panel is narrow. On the other hand, the viewing angle with respect to the lower end 14B of the control panel becomes deeper, and therefore the lower part of the control panel is It's easy to do, but the top of the control panel is difficult to see.

Figure 2 shows the lines of sight E and F of a passenger 20 sitting in a wheelchair. The same problem occurs with children: the top edge of the control panel is difficult to see, but the bottom edge of the control panel is difficult to see. The edges are easy to see and reach (Figs. 1 and 2 simply show the existing control panel in a lower position. This shows that simply changing the position of the control panel is not a satisfactory solution. Even if it is low, it will create as many new problems as it solves, It's like all the passengers are at a little disadvantage.

Figures 3 and 3 show an integrated elevator room system 3 according to/embodiments of the present invention. 0, ie, the control panel and display device combination. It is shown in the oblique prayer diagram in Figure 5. As such, the elevator room system 30 preferably includes buttons 32 arranged in a row configuration. a lower surface 30A for control buttons, including the location of the car and possibly the direction of travel of the car; or a display device 34 for instructing other information, such as a top surface 3 including a digital display device; 0B (・ru. To make the display device easier to read, the surface 30B is located in the elevator room. is at an angle 33 to the vertical wall 15, and provides easy visibility of the control buttons as well as this To facilitate manipulation, the lower surface 30A is at an elongation of 36 with respect to the wall 15; Naturally, it is perpendicular to the floor 18 of the elevator room. The lower surface 30A is the main elevator control buttons 32A, these buttons are the most frequently used and This relates to the operation and Kerr's pre-emergency β. Less important than this: Ama The 5 buttons that are not used are placed on the central flat part 30C of the control panel; 30G is parallel to wall X, i.e. is not inclined to this wall and therefore substantially perpendicular to the floor of the elevator room.

FIG. 3 shows single passengers 10 and 12 as in FIG. 1, and FIG. A passenger 20 is shown similarly to FIG. However, unlike the cases in Figures 1 and 3, By tilting surface 30A upward, viewing angle 16A relative to the bottom of the device is increased. (shown for visual angle @G) is considerably larger than the visual angle 16 in the case of FIG. The buttons at the bottom are easy for passenger 12 to see (and also touch). It does not adversely affect the viewing angle and button operability (・The viewing angle with respect to the top surface 30B 17A (shown relative to the line of sight H) is also considerably larger than the viewing angle 17 shown in FIG. In addition, the display device is easily visible to passengers 10 and 20 as well. Also, the display device The angle 33 makes it easy for passengers 12 to see.

The lowest button must be at least 35' (g7.!, cm, ) above the floor. taking up the suggested requirement that elevator use be expected. Each dimension has been designed so that the majority of passengers 10, 12 and 20 can operate it conveniently. determined by experiment. In other words, the lower edge 30D of the control panel 300 at position W'tDl is above the floor. It has to be thrown at about 34' (g!;, Ocm), and The button 32B should be approximately 35cm to 36' (&7.5 to 90.0cm) above the floor. 5 and the angle 36 is approximately /4' (and must be swung at 15°) . For these conditions, the total length of the control panel is 30 at the upper end of the control panel at position D3. E must be 84' (,210 cm) above the floor, and angle 33 must be equal to angle 36. Similarly, it should be about 1/4” to 75°. The width must be such that the main button can fit on the bottom surface 30A of the control panel. However , as described above, the button may be placed in the central portion 30G.

Although preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described above, it may depart from the true spirit and scope of the invention. It will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes and modifications may be made without further modification.
