Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a home elevator installed in a two-story, three-story, or other residential building.

[Conventional technology]

In recent years, due to housing shortages, it has been recommended that two or three generations of families live in the same house, and there is an increasing trend in the number of two- and three-story private houses where multiple generations live together. And in this private residence, it is inconvenient for the old man to go up and down the stairs, and also.

Due to the risk of falling, the number of living rooms for the elderly has been reduced to one.
It was often located on the floor.

However, due to reasons such as the lack of sunlight and poor visibility on the first floor, living rooms for the elderly may be provided on the second and third floors. In such a case, considering the problems associated with going up and down the stairs mentioned above, for example, 1.
As shown in Publication No. 370, home elevators installed in two-story, three-story, etc. houses have been proposed, and some of them have been put into practical use.

In addition, with the home elevators used in private residences such as those mentioned above, there are requests such as wanting to see the outside scenery from inside the car, or wanting to stop the car in a sunny position and relaxing in the sun, and so on. In some cases, the hoistway is provided on the outer wall of the house, and transparent windows are provided for the hoistway and the car.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

By the way, in the conventional home elevator mentioned above, heating and cooling inside the car is not performed effectively.

There is a problem in that the temperature inside the car cannot be maintained at a comfortable level. In particular, cars that allow the outside to be viewed from inside the cage are easily affected by the outside temperature and sunlight conditions through the transparent window; on hot, sunny days, the inside of the cage becomes hot, whereas on cold, rainy days, there is no sunlight. Because the temperature is sometimes low,
Air conditioning and heating inside the car is necessary to maintain a comfortable temperature inside the car.

The present invention has been made in view of the actual situation in the prior art, and an object of the present invention is to provide a home elevator that can effectively cool and heat the inside of the car.

[Means to solve the problem]

In order to achieve this object, the present invention provides a home elevator for a home consisting of a plurality of floors having an air conditioner for heating and cooling, which is equipped with a hoistway and a car that moves up and down in the hoistway. A ventilation hole is provided between the hoistways to guide the air cooled and heated by the air conditioner into the hoistway, and an intake port is provided in the car to guide the cooled and heated air guided into the hoistway into the car. This is the composition.

[Effect]

Since the present invention is configured as described above, the cold air or warm air from the air conditioner is guided into the hoistway through the ventilation hole provided between the house and the hoistway, and the cold air or warm air in the hoistway is The air cools or warms the car and is sent into the car through an air intake provided in the car. This makes it possible to effectively cool and heat the inside of the car.

〔Example〕

Hereinafter, the home elevator of the present invention will be explained based on the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a vertical sectional view showing the overall configuration of an embodiment of the home elevator of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a house in which the home elevator shown in FIG. 1 is installed.

As shown in FIG. 2, a house, for example a three-story private house 1, has a hoistway 3 installed on the outer wall near the entrance 2, a car 4 that moves up and down in the hoistway 3, etc. A home elevator 5 is installed. And hoistway 3
A transparent window 6 is mounted on the side facing the outside of the car, and a transparent window 7 is mounted on the transparent window 6 on the opposite side of the car. Furthermore, a transparent window 23 is installed on the ceiling of the hoistway, and a transparent window 22 is installed on the car side opposite to this transparent window 22. It is designed to look out at the starry sky.

Further, as shown in FIG. 1, the car 4 includes an air intake port 8 for ventilation inside the car 4, and a fan 20. An air outlet 21 is attached to the car 4, and the car 4 is driven by a plunger 9, which has a lower end fixed to the lower part of the hoistway 3 and an upper end fixed to the lower part of the heel 4, and is movable up and down. This house 1
are 1st floor, floor 11, 2nd floor, floor 12, and 3rd floor, floor 13.
It is a 3WI building, and for example, there is a living room for the elderly (not shown) on floor 13 of the third floor. -And these floors 1
Ventilation holes 17 that guide cold or warm air from an air conditioner (not shown) into the hoistway 3 are installed in the ceilings 14, 15, and 16 of Nos. 1 to 13,
18.19 are installed.

In this embodiment, cold or warm air from the air conditioner is guided into the hoistway 3 through ventilation ports 17-19. The cold or warm air guided into the hoistway 3 cools or warms the heel 4 and is sent into the heel 4 from the air intake port 8 of the car 4 via the fan 20.

In the embodiment configured in this way, for example, if you want to view the outside scenery from inside the car 4 in the summer, you can bring a chair or the like into the car 4 and enjoy the view of the outside scenery and the starry sky in a relaxed manner. The interior is cooled by cold air sent into the hoistway 3 from the ventilation ports 17 to 19, and can be kept at a comfortable temperature similar to the living room. In addition, in winter, the interior of the car 4 can be heated by the warm air sent out from the ventilation openings 17 to 19 and kept at a comfortable temperature similar to a living room, giving the elderly and others who use this home elevator 5 a sense of satisfaction throughout the year. be able to.

In this embodiment, heating and cooling of the heel 4 is performed, but it is also possible to perform only either cooling or heating.

〔Effect of the invention〕

Since the home elevator of the present invention is configured as described above, the inside of the car can be effectively heated and cooled, and therefore the temperature inside the car can be maintained at a comfortable temperature similar to that of a living room.
