Abstract

PURPOSE:To avoid a crash into humans or articles in the vicinity of cage doorways which cause injuries by providing article detecting devices for detecting presence of articles in the vicinity of the cage doorways of each floor and by installing an indicating body for indicating presence of an article when the article detecting devices are working. CONSTITUTION:When article detecting devices 10A to 10C provided in the vicinity of cage doorways detect an article, an indicating body 8 provided in a cage indicates that there is an article at the doorway. By this, passengers in the cage 5 can get off an elevator carefully, whereby prevents a crash into humans or articles to cause injuries and so on at the doorway.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a home elevator installed in a private residence of two or more stories.

[Conventional technology]

Recently, due to the housing shortage, it is recommended that two or three generations live in the same house, and the number of two- and three-story private homes is increasing. In private residences, it is inconvenient for elderly people to go up and down the stairs, and there is a risk of falling, so rooms for the elderly have often been provided on the first floor.

However, in some cases, INs provide living rooms for the elderly on the second or third floors due to poor sunlight or visibility, and in such cases, taking into consideration the problems associated with climbing up and down the stairs mentioned above, For example, as shown in Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 62-26370, home elevators installed in two-story, three-story, etc. houses have been proposed, and some of them have been put into practical use.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

In the above-mentioned proposed home elevators that have been put into practical use, safety considerations at entrances and exits have not always been good. That is, a home elevator is installed inside a house and cannot occupy a large area for the entrance and exit, and generally the entrance and exit becomes part of the living room. Therefore, it is possible that there may be infants such as babies or luggage in this entrance area, and if a passenger opens the elevator entrance door without knowing these facts and suddenly exits, a collision may occur. There was a risk of injury.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In view of the above, an object of the present invention is to provide a home elevator that prevents accidents caused by a passenger suddenly opening an entrance door and getting off the elevator.

[Means to solve the problem]

For the above purpose, by providing an object detection device for detecting the presence or absence of an object near the car entrance on the floor, and providing an indicator in the car to indicate that an object is present when the object detection device is activated. achieved.

[Effect]

When an object detection device provided near the car entrance/exit detects an object, a display provided inside the car displays that there is an object at the entrance/exit. As a result, passengers in the car can
You can disembark with care and avoid problems such as colliding with people or objects near the entrance and getting injured.

〔Example〕 Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described 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 an electric circuit diagram illustrating the notification means.

In Figure 1, ] is a residential building, for example, the first floor is 11.2.
It is a three-story private residence with 12 floors and 13 floors. 2 is a hoistway installed inside this house 1; 3
5 is a plunger that moves up and down in a cylinder 4 provided at the bottom of the hoistway 2, 5 is a car that is fixed to the 1 end of the plunger 3 and moves up and down in the hoistway 2, and 6 is fixed to the wall of the car 5. A driving panel for operating the car 5, 7 a car button installed on the driving board 6, 8 a display fixed to the upper part of the wall of the car 5, 9A to 9C landings 11a and 2 on the first floor 11; floor floor 1
The landing doors provided at the landing 12a of the 2nd floor and the landing 13a of the 3N floor 13, IOA-10C are the landing doors 9A-9C.
This is an object detection device installed above to detect objects such as people and luggage, and is designed to detect objects within the dotted line.

In FIG. 2, 16 is a contact that is closed when the home elevator is in operation, 17 is a relay for the button 7, and the relay for the car button 7 is
It is excited by operating the .

17a, 17a are normally open contacts that operate when the relay 17 is excited. The contact 18 is a contact that closes when an object is detected in the object detection bags [10A to IOC.

In this embodiment, 1. For example, a passenger opens the 5th landing door 9C from the 3rd floor landing 13a, gets into the car 5, and operates the car button 7 installed on the driving panel 6 to go to the 1st floor. Then, a circuit of (+)-7-16-17-(-) is formed and the relay 17 is excited. As a result, contact 17a
Yu, 17a, turns on. At this time, the object detection device 10
If there is an object 15 in the detection zone 14 due to A, the contact 18 is closed, so (+)-17a, -18-S
-C-) is configured, and the display 8 lights up. This allows one passenger to sense that there is something in the doorway.

Therefore, it is possible to prevent accidents caused by one passenger suddenly opening the landing door and getting off the train.

In this embodiment, the display body 8 is of a lighting type, but
A buzzer is also fine.

〔Effect of the invention〕

According to the present invention, the display provided inside the car allows passengers in the car to know that there is an object at the doorway, and because they get off the car carefully, they can avoid colliding with people or objects at the doorway. , no injury.
