Description

エレベータの操作ボタンElevator operation button
　本発明は、例えばかご内の壁面、または乗場の壁面に設けられる、エレベータの操作ボタンに関する。 The present invention relates to an operation button of an elevator provided, for example, on a wall in a car or a wall of a landing.
　従来、エレベータの操作パネルには、操作ボタンの外周とフェースプレートとの間に、光透過性の材料で形成された、ボタン枠としてのリング部材が配置されている。また、リング部材の裏側には、ＬＥＤなどの光源が配置されている。そして、光源を点灯及び消灯させることにより、操作ボタンの操作状態を利用者に報知している。 Conventionally, on an operation panel of an elevator, a ring member as a button frame formed of a light transmitting material is disposed between an outer periphery of an operation button and a face plate. Moreover, light sources, such as LED, are arrange | positioned at the back side of a ring member. Then, the user is notified of the operation state of the operation button by turning on and off the light source.
　このような操作ボタンでは、光源の消灯時に、リング部材自体の色及び質感が外観に表れてしまう。そこで、操作ボタンの意匠性を考慮して、光源の消灯時に、ボタンカバーの外周面の意匠が、リング部材の正面に表れるようにしたものがある（例えば特許文献１参照）。 With such an operation button, the color and texture of the ring member itself appear in the appearance when the light source is turned off. Therefore, in consideration of the design of the operation button, there is one in which the design of the outer peripheral surface of the button cover appears in front of the ring member when the light source is turned off (see, for example, Patent Document 1).
特許第５１３２８１６号公報Patent No. 5132816 gazette
　従来技術には、以下のような課題がある。
　特許文献１の操作ボタンは、ボタンカバーを、フェースプレートと同様の金属材料で形成している。また、特許文献１の操作ボタンは、リング部材にプリズム形状を設けている。そして、特許文献１の操作ボタンは、光源の消灯時に、隣接するボタンカバーの外周面を、プリズム形状の反射面で反射させている。 The prior art has the following problems.
In the operation button of Patent Document 1, the button cover is formed of the same metal material as the face plate. Moreover, the operation button of patent document 1 is providing the prism shape in the ring member. And when the light source is turned off, the operation button of patent document 1 is reflecting the outer peripheral surface of the adjacent button cover by the reflective surface of a prism shape.
　しかしながら、既存のエレベータには、ボタンカバーが透明な樹脂で形成されたものがある。このため、このような既存のエレベータに対して、特許文献１の技術を適用する場合には、リング部材の交換に加え、ボタンカバーの外周に、意匠性のある塗装、印刷などの加工を施すか、またはボタンカバーを金属製のものに交換する必要があり、改良に要するコストが課題となっていた。 However, there are existing elevators in which the button cover is formed of a transparent resin. Therefore, when applying the technology of Patent Document 1 to such an existing elevator, in addition to the replacement of the ring member, the outer periphery of the button cover is subjected to processing such as painting with good design and printing. It is necessary to replace the button cover with a metal one, and the cost for improvement has been a problem.
　また、特許文献１では、フェースプレート及び操作ボタンと、リング部材の表面に表れる意匠とを統一している。このため、フェースプレートと操作ボタンとの境界が認識しにくく、特に弱視者にとっては、操作ボタンの位置がわかり難くなっていた。 Moreover, in patent document 1, the face plate, the operation button, and the design which appears on the surface of a ring member are unified. For this reason, it is difficult to recognize the boundary between the face plate and the operation button, and it is difficult for the visually impaired person to understand the position of the operation button.
　本発明は、上記のような課題を解決するためになされたものであり、低コストで、弱視者、高齢者などが容易に認識することの可能な、エレベータの操作ボタンを得るものである。 The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems, and provides an elevator operation button that can be easily recognized by low-vision persons and elderly people at low cost.
　本発明に係るエレベータの操作ボタンは、押しボタン部と、押しボタン部を囲み、光透過性の材料で形成されるボタン枠と、押しボタン部の背面側に配置される光源とを有し、ボタン枠は、底部に、押しボタン部とは異なる色に着色された部位を有し、ボタン枠は、光源の点灯時には、光源の照射光を透過させ、ボタン枠は、光源の消灯時には、着色された部位の色を透過させる。 The operation button of the elevator according to the present invention has a push button portion, a button frame surrounding the push button portion, a button frame formed of a light transmitting material, and a light source disposed on the back side of the push button portion The button frame has, at the bottom, a portion colored in a color different from that of the push button portion, the button frame transmits illumination light of the light source when the light source is on, and the button frame is colored when the light source is off Transmits the color of the selected site.
　本発明のエレベータの操作ボタンは、押しボタン部の非発光時に、リング部材の表面に、押しボタン部と異なる色が見えるようにしている。これにより、弱視者、高齢者などが容易に認識可能な操作ボタンを得ることができる。 The operation button of the elevator of the present invention makes the surface of the ring member have a different color from the color of the push button when the light of the push button is not emitted. This makes it possible to obtain operation buttons that can be easily recognized by people with low vision and elderly people.

　以下、本発明のエレベータの操作ボタンの好適な実施の形態につき、図面を用いて説明する。 Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the elevator operation button of the present invention will be described using the drawings.
　実施の形態１．
　図１は、エレベータのかご室１００を示す概略斜視図である。図１に示すように、かご室１００の壁面１１０には、利用者が乗降するドア１２０が設けられている。ドア１２０が設けられた壁面１１０には、操作パネル１３０が取り付けられている。 Embodiment 1
FIG. 1 is a schematic perspective view showing a cab 100 of an elevator. As shown in FIG. 1, a wall 120 of the cab 100 is provided with a door 120 on which a user gets on and off. An operation panel 130 is attached to a wall surface 110 provided with the door 120.
　図２は、操作パネル１３０の一例を示す図である。操作パネル１３０は、ドア１２０の開閉を行う一対の操作ボタン２０と、行き先階を設定する複数の操作ボタン３０とを有している。また、操作パネル１３０は、通話ボタン４０と、スピーカ５０と、表示部６０とを有している。 FIG. 2 is a view showing an example of the operation panel 130. As shown in FIG. The operation panel 130 has a pair of operation buttons 20 for opening and closing the door 120 and a plurality of operation buttons 30 for setting a destination floor. Further, the operation panel 130 has a call button 40, a speaker 50, and a display unit 60.
　図３は、図２のＩＩＩ－ＩＩＩ線に沿う、ドア１２０の閉操作を行う操作ボタン２０の断面を示す図である。なお、ドア１２０の開操作を行う操作ボタン２０、及び複数の操作ボタン３０の構成は、ドア１２０の閉操作を行う操作ボタン２０と同様である。 FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view of the operation button 20 for closing the door 120, taken along the line III-III in FIG. The configuration of the operation button 20 for opening the door 120 and the configuration of the plurality of operation buttons 30 are the same as the operation button 20 for closing the door 120.
　フェースプレート１０は、例えばステンレス鋼板等の金属板で形成されている。操作ボタン２０は、フェースプレート１０の背面側に配置された支持体２３によって支持されている。操作ボタン２０は、支持体２３に対して変位可能な押しボタン部２１と、押しボタン部２１を囲むリング部材２２とによって形成されている。 The face plate 10 is formed of, for example, a metal plate such as a stainless steel plate. The operation button 20 is supported by a support 23 disposed on the back side of the face plate 10. The operation button 20 is formed of a push button portion 21 which can be displaced with respect to the support 23 and a ring member 22 surrounding the push button portion 21.
　押しボタン部２１の表面には、操作ボタン２０の機能を示す記号が形成された、ボタンカバー２１Ａが取り付けられている。押しボタン部２１は、半透明の材料で形成されている。また、ボタンカバー２１Ａは、記号以外の部分が透明な材料で形成されている。一方、リング部材２２は、無色透明な樹脂材料で形成されている。そして、ボタンカバー２１Ａの一部と、リング部材２２の一部は、フェースプレート１０に形成された孔から、かご室内に突出している。 On the surface of the push button portion 21, a button cover 21A having a symbol indicating the function of the operation button 20 is attached. The push button portion 21 is formed of a translucent material. Further, the button cover 21A is formed of a material in which portions other than the symbols are transparent. On the other hand, the ring member 22 is formed of a colorless and transparent resin material. And, a part of the button cover 21A and a part of the ring member 22 project from the hole formed in the face plate 10 into the car compartment.
　押しボタン部２１の背面側には、押しボタン部２１が操作されることによる変位によって開閉動作する、図示しないスイッチが設けられている。また、押しボタン部２１の背面側の支持体２３には、例えばＬＥＤなどの光源２４が配置されている。 On the back side of the push button portion 21, a switch (not shown) is provided which is opened and closed by displacement caused by the operation of the push button portion 21. In addition, a light source 24 such as an LED is disposed on the support 23 on the back side of the push button portion 21.
　図４Ａ及び図４Ｂは、図３のＡ部を拡大して示した図である。図４Ａは、操作ボタン２０の押しボタン部２１が押されていない状態を示している。一方、図４Ｂは、操作ボタン２０の押しボタン部２１が押された状態を示している。 FIG. 4A and FIG. 4B are the figure which expanded and showed the A section of FIG. FIG. 4A shows a state in which the push button portion 21 of the operation button 20 is not pressed. On the other hand, FIG. 4B shows a state in which the push button portion 21 of the operation button 20 is pressed.
　利用者が押しボタン部２１のボタンカバー２１Ａを指で押すと、押しボタン部２１は、図４Ａに矢印で示す方向に移動し、図４Ｂの状態となる。押しボタン部２１が移動すると、押しボタン部２１の背面側に配置された、図示しないスイッチが閉じる。 When the user presses the button cover 21A of the push button unit 21 with a finger, the push button unit 21 moves in the direction indicated by the arrow in FIG. 4A, and is in the state of FIG. 4B. When the push button portion 21 moves, a switch (not shown) disposed on the back side of the push button portion 21 is closed.
　図示しないエレベータの制御装置は、スイッチが閉じることで、光源２４を点灯させる指令とともに、ドア１２０を閉じる指令を出力する。この結果、光源２４が点灯し、ドア１２０が閉じる。 When the switch is closed, an elevator controller (not shown) outputs a command to turn on the light source 24 and a command to close the door 120. As a result, the light source 24 is turned on and the door 120 is closed.
　光源２４は、押しボタン部２１の裏面及び周方向に光２４Ａを照射する。押しボタン部２１の裏面の方向に照射された光２４Ａ１は、半透明の材料を透過して、ボタンカバー２１Ａの全体を光らせる。また、押しボタン部２１の周方向に照射された光２４Ａ２は、押しボタン部２１の下方に形成された透光部２１Ｂを介して、リング部材２２に照射される。透光部２１Ｂは、無色透明な材料、または切り欠きによって形成されている。 The light source 24 emits light 24 A in the back surface and circumferential direction of the push button portion 21. The light 24A1 emitted in the direction of the back surface of the push button portion 21 transmits the semitransparent material to light the entire button cover 21A. Further, the light 24A2 emitted in the circumferential direction of the push button portion 21 is emitted to the ring member 22 through the light transmitting portion 21B formed below the push button portion 21. The translucent portion 21B is formed of a colorless and transparent material or a notch.
　リング部材２２は、切り欠き部２２Ａと、切り欠き部２２Ａによって形成される傾斜部２２Ｂとを有している。リング部材２２に照射された光２４Ａ２は、図４Ｂに示す矢印のように、傾斜部２２Ｂによって屈折され、操作ボタン２０の表側に照射される。これにより、押しボタン部２１が押し下げられたときには、押しボタン部２１とボタンカバー２１Ａの全体が淡く光るとともに、リング部材２２が光２４Ａ２の色に光ることになる。この結果、利用者に対して、操作ボタン２０が操作されたことを報知することができる。 The ring member 22 has a notch 22A and an inclined portion 22B formed by the notch 22A. The light 24A2 irradiated to the ring member 22 is refracted by the inclined portion 22B as shown by the arrow in FIG. 4B and irradiated to the front side of the operation button 20. As a result, when the push button portion 21 is depressed, the whole of the push button portion 21 and the button cover 21A lightly shines, and the ring member 22 emits light 24A2. As a result, it is possible to notify the user that the operation button 20 has been operated.
　利用者が押しボタン部２１から指を離すと、押しボタン部２１は、図示しない付勢装置によって、図４Ａの位置に戻る。すると、図示しないスイッチが開き、光源２４が消灯する。このとき、リング部材２２には、リング部材２２に形成された傾斜部２２Ｂが見える。 When the user removes the finger from the push button portion 21, the push button portion 21 is returned to the position of FIG. 4A by a biasing device (not shown). Then, a switch (not shown) is opened and the light source 24 is turned off. At this time, the inclined portion 22B formed in the ring member 22 can be seen in the ring member 22.
　そこで、実施の形態１の操作ボタン２０では、図５に示すように、傾斜部２２Ｂを形成する切り欠き部２２Ａの内側に、塗装２５を施している。そして、光源２４の消灯時には、リング部材２２の色が、この塗装２５の色Ｃに見えるようにしている。よって、この塗装２５の色Ｃを、フェースプレート１０及び押しボタン部２１とは異なる色にすることにより、光源２４の消灯時に、リング部材２２を目立たせることができる。 Therefore, in the operation button 20 according to the first embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5, the paint 25 is applied to the inside of the notch 22A that forms the inclined portion 22B. Then, when the light source 24 is turned off, the color of the ring member 22 is made to be visible in the color C of the paint 25. Therefore, by setting the color C of the paint 25 to a color different from that of the face plate 10 and the push button portion 21, the ring member 22 can be made conspicuous when the light source 24 is turned off.
　このように、実施の形態１のエレベータの操作ボタン２０によれば、半透明な材料で形成された押しボタン部２１の裏面側に、光源２４を有している。また、押しボタン部２１の周囲に、無色透明な材料で形成されたリング部材２２を有している。そして、押しボタン部２１の押し下げ時に、光源２４の光２４Ａ２を、リング部材２２の切り欠き部２２Ａに形成された傾斜部２２Ｂで屈折させて、リング部材２２の表側に照射している。また、リング部材２２の切り欠き部２２Ａに塗装２５を施している。そして、押しボタン部２１を押し下げていないときに、リング部材２２の色が、塗装２５の色Ｃに見えるようにしている。 As described above, according to the operation button 20 of the elevator of the first embodiment, the light source 24 is provided on the back surface side of the push button portion 21 formed of a translucent material. In addition, a ring member 22 formed of a colorless and transparent material is provided around the push button portion 21. Then, when the push button portion 21 is depressed, the light 24A2 of the light source 24 is refracted by the inclined portion 22B formed in the notch 22A of the ring member 22 and is irradiated to the front side of the ring member 22. In addition, the paint 25 is applied to the notch 22A of the ring member 22. The color of the ring member 22 is made to be visible as the color C of the paint 25 when the push button portion 21 is not pressed down.
　これにより、押しボタン部２１が押し下げられていない状態において、リング部材２２を目立たせることができる。よって、弱視者でも、操作ボタン２０の位置を容易に認識することが可能となる。 Thereby, the ring member 22 can be made to stand out in the state where the push button part 21 is not pushed down. Therefore, even a low vision person can easily recognize the position of the operation button 20.
　なお、実施の形態１では、リング部材２２の切り欠き部２２Ａの内側のみに、塗装２５を施していたが、塗装２５を施す位置は、これに限るものではない。例えば、図５の塗装２５に加え、図６の第１変形例に示すように、リング部材２２の内周側と外周側に塗装２６を施してもよい。これにより、リング部材２２を正面以外の角度から見た場合であっても、リング部材２２の塗装２６の色Ｃが見える。よって、リング部材２２を目立たせることができ、弱視者でも、操作ボタン２０の位置を容易に認識することが可能となる。 In the first embodiment, the paint 25 is applied only to the inside of the notch 22A of the ring member 22, but the position to which the paint 25 is applied is not limited to this. For example, in addition to the coating 25 of FIG. 5, the coating 26 may be applied to the inner peripheral side and the outer peripheral side of the ring member 22 as shown in the first modified example of FIG. Thereby, even when the ring member 22 is viewed from an angle other than the front, the color C of the paint 26 of the ring member 22 can be seen. Therefore, the ring member 22 can be made conspicuous, and even a low vision person can easily recognize the position of the operation button 20.
　また、図７の第２変形例に示すように、切り欠き部２２Ａの内側に、塗装２５を施すことに代えて、切り欠き部２２Ａに、素材自体が色を有する着色材料２７を充填してもよい。この場合であっても、傾斜部２２Ｂによる、光２４Ａ２を屈折させる機能は維持される。そして、リング部材２２の色が着色材料２７の色Ｃに見えるようにすることができる。 Further, as shown in the second modified example of FIG. 7, instead of applying the paint 25 inside the notch 22A, the notch 22A is filled with the coloring material 27 whose material itself has a color. It is also good. Even in this case, the function of refracting the light 24A2 by the inclined portion 22B is maintained. Then, the color of the ring member 22 can be made to look like the color C of the coloring material 27.
　リング部材２２の材料としては、透過光量の減衰が少ない、無色透明なものが最も好ましい。逆に、塗装２５,２６及び着色材料２７の素材は、光を透過しにくく、濃い色のものが好ましい。 The material of the ring member 22 is most preferably colorless and transparent, with less attenuation of the amount of transmitted light. On the contrary, the materials of the coatings 25 and 26 and the coloring material 27 do not easily transmit light, and dark materials are preferable.
