Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Technical Field of the Invention] The present invention relates to an improvement in an observation elevator that allows a view of the outdoors from inside the car.

[Prior art]

Figure 4 shows the conventional observation elevator shown in, for example, Japanese Patent Publication No. 52-37657. In the figure, (1) is Hayamoto with an observation elevator installed, (2)
is the hoistway of the observation elevator, and the outer wall is made of glass windows. (3) is a car that goes up and down in the hoistway (2), (4) is a lighting device installed above and below the hoistway (2), and (5) is a reflector of the lighting device (4). , (6) is an illumination section by the illumination device (4).

In the above-mentioned conventional observation elevator, the visual effect is only due to the color and brightness of the lamps provided by the lighting device N (4), and patterns such as letters and figures cannot be displayed on the glass window of the hoistway (2). In addition, the lighting system consumes a lot of power to illuminate the entire hoistway (2), and the visual effect can only be obtained at night.Furthermore, the outer wall of the hoistway (2) is made of clear glass or plastic. Because it is made, it may be attacked from the outside (3)
It had drawbacks such as being able to peer inside and causing discomfort.

[Summary of the invention]

This invention was made with the aim of improving such drawbacks, and it enables information from an information generator to be displayed as characters, figures, etc. on a display device provided on a transparent wall so that it can be seen from outside the hoistway, and also to display it day and night. The present invention provides an observation elevator that can display images with low power consumption.

[Embodiments of the invention]

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

In the first clause, (1) is the building where the observation elevator is installed, (2) is the hoistway of the observation elevator, the outer wall is made of a transparent wall (2a) such as a glass window, and (3) is the hoistway. (2) is a car that goes up and down, and there is a window in (3) that corresponds to the transparent wall (2a). (7) is the transparent wall (
2a) is a transmissive type liquid crystal segment that becomes transparent when a voltage is applied, and the figure shows an example of 16 segments, but if the number of segments is increased, a complex pattern can be displayed.

Next, the operation of the present invention will be explained in detail, including the block diagram shown in FIG. (8) In the second information generator, information to be displayed, such as event information, news, product advertisements, or brand marks, is input into the display information input device (9). This displayed information is converted by a pattern generator (10) into a signal for activating a liquid crystal segment (7) provided in the transparent wall (2a) of the hoistway (2).

Note that one character or figure may be displayed using a segment for one floor, or may be divided as appropriate, or may span two floors. On the other hand, the pattern generator (10) f'i is detected by the position detector (11) (
3)'s current position is taken in as information, and the controller (
12), the car position and the display part are associated and displayed on the display (13).The display means of the display (13) is to display the floor corresponding to the car (3). Only the liquid crystal segment (7) of the car (3) can be made transparent, and information can be displayed on the liquid crystal segment (7) of the upper and lower floors of the car (3) or only the lower floor, or as the car (3) moves. It is also possible to move the information.This allows the characters and figures displayed on the transparent wall (2a) of the TI hoistway (2) to be viewed day and night from the outside without obstructing the view of passengers inside the car (3). You can see it without any difference.

FIG. 3 shows another embodiment of the display means, (14)
Ii projector installed in the hoistway (2), (15) is a pattern projected by the projector (14) onto the transparent wall of the hoistway (2), in this case, the transparent wall (2a) is is made of a one-way mirror that forms a mirror surface. In other words, during the day, the outside of the car is brighter than the inside of the hoistway (2), so the inside of the car cannot be seen through from the outside and can be seen as a mirror, and the projector (
14], when the pattern (15) is projected, only that part of the pattern becomes bright and the specular effect is lost. As a result, since the inside of the hoistway (2) is dark, an image is projected on the transparent wall (2a). On the other hand, since the mirror effect is lost at night, it goes without saying that an image is projected onto the transparent wall (2a) by the projector (14).

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, according to the present invention, the information from the information generator that generates information regarding the position of the car can be displayed on the display on the transparent wall so that it can be seen from outside the hoistway. Characters and figures can be displayed on the transparent wall from the outside regardless of day or night without obstructing the view of passengers. Suitable for advertising and news reporting. In addition, it consumes only a small amount of power, so it is economical and other effects.
