Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Purpose of the invention] (Industrial application field) The present invention relates to an observation elevator.

(Prior Art) In recent years, in buildings with many customers such as department stores, shopping centers, and hotels, passengers are
1151, and the observation elevator has the meaning of being a moving accessory for the building, such as by displaying the elevator car in an attractive manner and showing passersby outside the building how it goes up and down. It has become widely installed.

Here, a conventional observation elevator will be explained with reference to FIGS. 4 and 5. First, as shown in FIG. 4, an elevator hoistway 2 is constructed at a position adjacent to the outer wall of a building 1, and The transparent wall portion 3 is constructed by fitting a transparent body such as glass to the side facing the outside of the building 1.

Inside the hoistway 2, there are a pair of car guide rails 4 on both sides.
A heel 5 is installed vertically movably through the car 5, and a surface of the car 5 facing the transparent wall 3 of the hoistway 2 is made of glass or the like so that passengers can view the exterior of the building from inside the car 5. A transparent window 6 made of a transparent material is provided.

In addition, the area around the outside of the transparent window 6 is designed to be aesthetically pleasing so that the car 5 can be seen from the outside of the building through the transparent wall 3. An exterior panel 7 is attached for this purpose.

An entrance/exit 8 is provided on the opposite side of the transparent window 6 of the car 5, and faces the entrance/exit 9 on the landing side of each floor of the building 1.

Further, a counterweight 10 is arranged on one side of the car 5 in the hoistway 2. The counterweight 10 is guided and held by a pair of weight guide rails 11 and is movable up and down.

As shown in FIG. 5, the hanging loaf 15, which is wound around the main sheave 13 and the deflection sheave 14 of the hoist installed in the upper machine room 12 of the hoistway 2, is attached to the end of the hanging loaf 15.
A counterweight 10 is suspended, and the car 5 and the counterweight 10 are driven up and down in opposite directions while being balanced via a hanging row 115. Note that reference numeral 16 indicates a tail cord whose one end is suspended from the bottom of the car 5 and whose other end is fixed to the inner wall of the hoistway 2.

(Problem to be solved by the invention) By the way, in the above-mentioned conventional observation elevator, the car 5
The main objective is for passengers to view the outside scenery, and the transparent windows 6
The idea was to eliminate anything on the side that would obstruct the view.
A counterweight 10 was provided on one side hidden from view from the outside.

Therefore, in the above-mentioned observation elevator, it is necessary to place the counterweight 10 far away from the car guide rail 4, and each shaft hoistway interior device (not shown) must be placed far away from the car guide rail 4.
0 and 9 spaces on the opposite side, and therefore the area of the hoistway 2 must be larger than that of a general elevator, which increases construction costs and makes use of the limited space inside the building. There was a problem that they occupied so many people that it was unprofitable.

Furthermore, in the above-mentioned conventional observation elevator, only the movement of the elevator car 5 to which the exterior panel 7 is attached can be seen from the outside of the building, making it unsatisfactory as a moving accessory for the building.

Therefore, the present invention enables the area of the hoistway to be narrowed and makes effective use of the limited space inside the building.In addition, it is possible for passengers to not only see the outside of the building, but also to make the building look very interesting and enjoyable from the outside. The objective is to provide a layer-effective viewing elevator - as a moving accessory.

[Structure of the Invention] (Means for Solving Problem a!!!) The observation elevator of the present invention that solves the above-mentioned problem has an outer wall of an elevator hoistway made of a transparent material, and an elevator that can go up and down in the hoistway. A transparent window is provided on the surface facing the outer wall of the car so that the outside scenery can be seen from inside the car, and the operation of the car can be viewed from the outside. In the observation elevator, a counterweight to be balanced with the car is disposed in a space formed between the car and the outer wall, and the outer surface of the car and the inner and outer surfaces of the counterweight are arranged. The present invention is characterized in that an exterior panel is provided to provide an aesthetic appearance, and the exterior panel of the car and the exterior panel on the outside of the counterweight are provided with illumination lamps that can be observed from the outside.

(Function) With the above configuration, the installation interval between the car and the counterweight can be narrowed without being obstructed by the guide rail, and all the space on both sides of the hoistway other than the transparent wall side and the entrance/exit can be used for other hoistway separates. The internal area of the four descending paths can be made considerably smaller than that of the conventional one.

In addition, not only can the outside scenery of the building be viewed through the transparent wall of the hoistway, but it also increases the enjoyment of being able to observe with a sense of thrill the balance of the moving objects that rub against each other on the way up and down. Furthermore, from the outside of the building, you can see both the basket and the counterweight, which are equipped with exterior panels equipped with illumination lamps, and it is very interesting to see how the exterior panels move in opposite directions, adding to the effect of illumination.

(Example) An example of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3. Components in the drawings that are the same as those shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 will be described with the same reference numerals.

First, an elevator hoistway 2A with a smaller area than before is constructed in a position adjacent to the outer wall of the building 1, and a transparent material such as glass is fitted on the side facing the outside of the building 1 among the peripheral side walls of the four hoistways 2A. The transparent wall portion 3 is constituted by this.

A car 5 consisting of a car body and a car frame (details omitted) is installed vertically via a pair of car guide rails 4 on both sides of the hoistway 2A, and passengers can move from inside the car 5 to the outside of the building. In order to view the scenery, the car 5 is also provided with a transparent window 6 formed by fitting a transparent body such as glass into the surface facing the transparent wall 3 of the hoistway 2Δ. An aesthetically pleasing exterior panel 7A is attached around the outside of the transparent window 6 so that it can be seen from outside the building.

On the entire surface of the exterior panel 7A, ball lamps 17 for illumination are arranged in several stages above and below so that they can be blinked sequentially in each row.

In the space between the transparent wall portion 3 and the car 5, a counterweight 10 is installed which is guided and held by a pair of weight guide rails 11 on both sides and is movable up and down.

The counterweight 10 is provided with a weight exterior panel 7B on the front side facing the transparent wall portion 3 to give it an aesthetic appearance, similar to the cage 5.

Also, on the entire surface of this weight exterior panel 7B, a ball lamp 17 for illumination is provided, similar to the exterior panel 7A.
The lights are arranged in several rows above and below so that they can be blinked sequentially in each row.

Furthermore, a good-looking weight exterior panel 7C is attached to the back surface of the counterweight 10.

A pair of left and right seats 718, 19 and 20.21 are rotatably supported on the lower part of the car frame of the car 5 and the lower part of the weight frame of the counterweight 10 via brackets (not shown). Seats 118 on the left and right at the bottom of car 5,
19 is arranged on an inclined straight line passing through the center of the car at a position avoiding the car guide rail 4. Furthermore, the left and right seams 120.21 at the bottom of the counterweight 10 are also arranged on a straight line passing through the center of the weight at positions avoiding the weight guide rail 11.

Each sheave 18, 19 and 20.21 is the exterior panel 7A of the car 5 and the exterior panel 7B for the weight of the counterweight 10.
It is hidden behind the bottom hem of the building and is not visible from the outside of the building.

On the other hand, in the upper machine room 12, as shown in FIG. 1, a main sheave 13 and a deflection sheave are arranged, and each sheave 18, The hook is turned to the hanging row 115A via 19.13° 14.21.20.

As a result, the basket 5 and the counterweight 10 are connected to the hanging rope 1.
5A in a mutually balanced state, and are relatively raised and lowered while being guided along each guide rail 4.11 by the forward and reverse rotational drive of the main sheave 13 of the hoisting machine. . Here, hanging rope 15A
The hanging part of the basket 5 is removed from the transparent wall part 3.
The lower portion of the counterweight 10 is on the back side of the exterior panel 7A and weight exterior panels 7B and 7C, both of which are hidden from view from the outside of the building.

The tail cord 16.16A for illumination of the car 5 and the counter cage 10 is suspended from a support arm that projects laterally from the side of the cage 5 and the counter cage 10, and is isolated from the outside of the building. It is placed in a position where it cannot be seen.

In the observation elevator of this example having the above configuration, the car 5 and the counterweight 10 move up and down relative to each other via the hanging rope 15A by rotationally driving the hoist sheave 13.

At this time, since the counterweight 10 is located in the space formed between the transparent wall 3 and the car 5 and moves up and down, it is visible from the outside of the building that the counterweight 10 and the car 5 provided with the panels 7A and 7B are visible from the outside of the building. Both of them appear to be placed on the same plane, and it is very interesting to watch them move up and down as they move in opposition to each other at the same time, making it a moving accessory for buildings.
It is very effective as

Moreover, the exterior panel 7△ of the cage 5 and the counterweight 10,
In 7B, the ball lamps 17 for illumination are moved up and down, for example, sequentially blinking in each row in the direction of mutual movement, thereby further improving the design effect.

On the other hand, passengers in car 5 can view the exterior of the building through the transparent wall 3 from the transparent window 6 of car 5, and momentarily observe with a sense of thrill the friction between the counterweight and the cage 10 on the way up and down. There is something fun to do.

Furthermore, the basket 5, the counterweight 10, the supporting hanging rows 1158, and each of the cable cords 16 and 168 are hidden from view from the outside, giving a good appearance. 10 respective exterior panels 7A
, only 7B is visible, making the movement interesting and allowing you to express a smart feeling.

In addition, the car 5 and the counterweight 10 in the hoistway 2A
In addition to making the installation interval narrower without being obstructed by the guide rail 11 as in the past, the spaces on both sides of the hoistway 2A other than the transparent wall 3 side and the entrance/exit 8 side can be used for arranging other various hoistway separates. As a result, the hoistway 2A, which was conventionally too large for an observation elevator, can be reduced in area to the same narrow area as a general elevator.

Furthermore, by rearranging the deceleration rate, blinking pattern, etc. of the illumination ball lamps 17 of the exterior panels 7A and 7B, it is possible to further improve the design effect.

The present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, but can be implemented in other embodiments by making appropriate design changes.

[Consequences of the invention] As described above, since the present invention is an observation elevator as described in the claims, the area of the hoistway can be narrowed and the limited space inside the building can be effectively utilized. At the same time, it not only allows passengers to view the external scenery of the building, but also looks very interesting and fun from the outside, and is very effective as a moving accessory for the building.
