Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to an elevator button switch, and more particularly to an elevator button switch suitable for a push button switch on an operation panel inside a car.

For example, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the operation panel inside the car has a cover 10 equipped with a large number of push button switches A for operating the destination and opening/closing the doors. This push button switch A has a fixed contact 7 at a lower position using a part of the button frame 1 as a guide.
By pressing the button 2 equipped with a movable contact 5 facing the button frame 1, an operation response display section 3 formed on the other part of the button frame 1 is illuminated. On the surface of the button 2, for example, there is a display nameplate 2a on which the characters ``open j'' are displayed.
is installed. - Also, the button frame 1 has a stepped portion 1a to prevent the button 2 from flying upward due to the reaction force of the spring 4, and a step portion 1a to separate the button 2 from the operation/response display portion 3. It has a partition wall 1b. Further, a printed board 6 is located below the forceps 2 and the operation response display section 3, supports the fixed contact 7, and has a light emitting element 8, a semiconductor element (not shown), etc. mounted thereon. These are covered with a protective cover 9.

On the operation panel configured as described above, the passenger selects the pushbutton switch A to perform the necessary operations. After a certain amount of time has elapsed, the lights inside the car are automatically turned off, the doors are closed, and the car is on standby.
is being carried out.

In an elevator that operates in this way, if a drunk passenger or child is left behind in the car, the inside of the car will be in darkness, so the position of the control panel and the push button to open the door will be changed. I couldn't find the position of switch A, so I had to wait for a call from the floor.

The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and its purpose is to provide an elevator button switch that can be operated by a passenger for a certain period of time after the lights are turned off.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a luminescent paint on the pressing portion of a button switch or its peripheral members.

An embodiment according to the present invention will be described below with reference to FIG.

A recess 13 is formed on the surface of the button 13, which is the pressing part of the push button switch.
a is formed, and a nameplate 11 made of a transparent insulator is adhered inside this recess 13a. The character "open" 12 is printed on the front or back side of the nameplate 11 with luminous paint.

The "open" character 12 on the nameplate 11 of the push button switch configured in this way accumulates light from the lighting inside the car and emits light when the lighting inside the car goes out, so it can be used in the dark. Even if the passenger is left behind, the user can find the position of the push button to open the door, and can guide the passenger from inside the dark car to the floor side.

As a result of an experiment, the "Open" character 12 printed with this luminous paint can be seen and recognized in the dark for 90 to 120 seconds.

By the way, in the above embodiment, the open letter 12 is printed with luminous paint, but since there is a risk of the printed name plate peeling off, it is preferable to use the name plate 14 as shown in FIG. 4. , the material of the name plate 14 may be the same as that of the above embodiment, but the name plate 14 may have the same groove 14 as the open j character on the front (or back).
A was carved and the luminous paint 15 was embedded in this groove 14A.

With this configuration, the luminous paint 15 will not wear out or peel off even if the surface of the nameplate 14 is repeatedly pressed, and damage during handling before assembly can be prevented.

Furthermore, in FIG. 4, the name plate 14 itself is formed of a luminous material, and the groove 14A is filled with ordinary paint.
The same effect can be obtained by emitting light around the open j character to inform the user of the position of the required pushbutton switch.

Further, the button frame 1 in FIGS. 1 and 2 may be formed of a luminescent material.

The above explanation is particularly about the push button switch inside the car, but it goes without saying that it can also be applied to the floor push button switch.

As explained above, according to the present invention, even if the lights are turned off, the position of the button switch and the type of button switch can be determined by the user within a certain period of time, so that the elevator is suitable for energy-saving operation. button switch can be provided.
