Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a home elevator installed in a two-story, three-story, etc. house.

[Conventional technology]

In recent years, due to the housing shortage, it has been recommended that two or three generations of families live in the same house, and there is an increasing trend in two- and three-story private houses where multiple generations live together. In this private residence, it is inconvenient for the elderly to go up and down the stairs, and
Until now, living rooms for the elderly were often located on the first floor due to the risk of falling.

However, due to reasons such as poor sunlight and poor visibility on the first floor, living rooms for the elderly may be provided on the second or third floors. In such a case, in consideration of the problems associated with going up and down stairs, for example, as shown in Japanese Utility Model Application No. 62-26370,
Home elevators installed in multi-story and three-story houses have been proposed, and some have been put into practical use.

In addition, such home elevators are equipped with a tail cord that supplies power to the lighting lights inside the car and the driving panel.As with ordinary elevators, one end of this tail cord is located at the mid-height of the hoistway. The other end is attached to the lower part of the car, and the intermediate part hangs down inside the hoistway.

[The problem that the idea attempts to solve]

By the way, in the conventional home elevator as described above, the junction box is fixedly installed at a mid-height position of the hoistway so as to protrude into the hoistway, so the cross-sectional area of the hoistway increases. Moreover, intermediate beams are required to support the junction box, and installation costs are high, particularly in the case of ordinary wooden houses, where the installation costs increase significantly.

The present invention was made in view of the actual situation in the prior art, and its purpose is to connect the tail cord to the hoistway without requiring a fixed junction box at the intermediate height of the hoistway. An object of the present invention is to provide a home elevator that can be installed between cars.

[Means to solve the problem]

To achieve this objective, the present invention provides a home elevator for a house having a plurality of floors, which is equipped with a hoistway and a car that moves up and down in the hoistway. It has a structure in which a retractable tail cord is provided between the baskets.

[Effect]

Since the present invention is constructed as described above, the tail cord is provided between the lower part of the hoistway and the car,
It expands and contracts as the car moves up and down, supplying power to the lighting lights and driving panel inside the car. Thereby, the tail cord can be disposed between the hoistway and the car without requiring a junction box to be fixedly installed at an intermediate height of the hoistway.

〔Example〕

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

1 and 2 are vertical sectional views showing the overall configuration of an embodiment of the home elevator of the present invention.
The figure shows the car on the first floor, Figure 2 shows the car on the second floor, and Figure 3 shows the car on the first floor.
FIG. 3 is a perspective view of a house equipped with the home elevator shown in FIGS.

In this Figure 3, 1 is a house, for example a two-story house, 2 is the entrance of house 1, and 3 is the entrance 2 of house 1.
Home elevator installed nearby, 4 is house 1
5 is a car that moves up and down within the hoistway 4.

Further, in FIGS. 1 and 2 showing the overall configuration of the home elevator 3, 5a is a lighting lamp that illuminates the inside of the car 5, 5b is a driving panel for operating the car 5, and 6 is a lower end of the hoistway 4. At the lower part, extendable plungers 7 and 8 whose upper ends are respectively fixed to the lower part of the car 5 and which drive the car 5 are attached to the lower part of the car 5 and the lower part of the hoistway 4, for example, the bottom surface 4a. Both ends of the junction box 9 are attached to the junction boxes 7 and 8, and the middle part is stretched between the junction boxes 7 and 8, and the junction box 9 is attached to the junction boxes 7 and 8. A retractable tail cord that supplies power to 5b, 11 is the first floor of house 1,
12 is the second floor of the house 1.

In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, when the car 5 is stopped on the first floor 11, the tail cord 9 is in a contracted state between the junction boxes 7 and 8. This prevents the tail cord 9 from getting caught at the lower part of the hoistway 4 or from interfering with the ascent and descent of the car 5. As shown in FIG. 2, when the car 5 rises to the second floor 12, the tail cord 9 stretches as the junction box 7 fixed at the bottom of the car 5 rises. do. In this way, as the car 5 moves up and down, the tail cord 9 expands and contracts between the lower part of the car 5 and the lower part of the hoistway 4.

In the embodiment configured in this way, the tail cord 9 is arranged between the hoistway 4 and the car 5 without the need to fix a junction box at an intermediate height position of the hoistway 4. be able to.

In this embodiment, a junction box 8 is provided on the bottom surface 4a of the hoistway 4, but instead of the bottom surface 4a, a junction box 8 is provided on the lower side wall 4b of the hoistway 4 so as not to hinder the elevator car 5 from moving up and down. A bracket (not shown) may be fixed and a junction box may be provided on this bracket.

[Effect of idea]

Since the home elevator of the present invention is constructed as described above, the tail cord can be placed between the hoistway and the car without the need to install a junction box at an intermediate height of the hoistway. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the cross-sectional area of the hoistway, and there is no need to provide an intermediate beam for supporting the junction box, resulting in an effect that installation costs can be reduced.
