Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of elevators, and more particularly to a touch-sensitive elevator button with ultraviolet disinfection function and a disinfection method thereof. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, with the ever-accelerating pace of life, elevators are widely used in public places such as supermarkets, shopping malls, hospitals, and various entertainment venues to ensure the safe, rapid, convenient, and efficient movement of people within buildings. They are a convenient, fast, time-saving, and labor-saving mode of transportation. With the rapid development and expansion of the elevator manufacturing industry, the technology of elevator-related products is also constantly being updated and changed, with elevator buttons being one such example.

[0003] Elevator buttons are important components for controlling elevator operation and are also the parts that people come into contact with most often. After being pressed repeatedly, various bacteria can easily remain on elevator buttons. In addition, the suspended bacteria in the natural environment may also contaminate elevator buttons, making elevator buttons a potential source of bacterial contamination.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to disinfect elevator buttons regularly to reduce cross-infection among people.

[0005] However, current elevator buttons do not have automatic disinfection mechanisms. The common practice is for professional cleaners to manually disinfect them, which is cumbersome, inefficient, and costly. Summary of the Invention

[0006] Based on the above analysis, the present invention aims to provide a touch-sensitive elevator button with ultraviolet disinfection function and a disinfection method thereof, in order to solve the problem that existing elevator buttons are easily contaminated with various bacteria or viruses after repeated contact by passengers, resulting in cross-infection among personnel.

[0007] The objective of this invention is mainly achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0008] A touch-sensitive elevator button with ultraviolet disinfection function includes:

[0009] The touch button can trigger the elevator to start when pressed by passengers;

[0010] The casing has a button window on one side, so that passengers can access the touch button when it is directly opposite the button window.

[0011] Ultraviolet disinfection lamps can disinfect touch buttons with ultraviolet light;

[0012] The rotating mechanism has multiple touch buttons installed circumferentially; and when the rotating mechanism rotates, it can drive the touch buttons to switch positions between the button window and the ultraviolet disinfection lamp.

[0013] Furthermore, multiple touch buttons are evenly distributed circumferentially on the rotating mechanism.

[0014] Furthermore, the rotating mechanism is a rotating body structure.

[0015] Alternatively, the rotating mechanism can be a columnar structure with a regular polygonal cross-section.

[0016] Furthermore, the cross-section of the rotating mechanism is a regular hexagon.

[0017] Furthermore, it also includes an electric mechanism for driving the rotating mechanism to rotate.

[0018] Furthermore, it also includes: an integrated circuit board; the integrated circuit board is used to control the start and stop of the electric mechanism and the ultraviolet disinfection lamp.

[0019] Furthermore, it also includes a collector ring, through which the touch button and the integrated circuit board are electrically connected.

[0020] Furthermore, multiple touch-sensitive elevator button arrays are mounted on the elevator control panel; mounting lugs are provided on the exterior of the housing.

[0021] A disinfection method for touch-sensitive elevator buttons with ultraviolet disinfection function includes the following steps:

[0022] Step S1: Press the touch button, and the touch button sends a signal to the integrated circuit board 8;

[0023] Step S2: The integrated circuit board controls the output torque of the electric mechanism, which drives the rotating mechanism to rotate.

[0024] Step S3: The rotating mechanism rotates to move the adjacent touch buttons to the button window position for the next use; at the same time, the pressed touch buttons are rotated to one side of the button window.

[0025] Step S4: Repeat steps S1-S3 until the pressed touch button is moved to the position of the ultraviolet disinfection lamp to disinfect the used touch button.

[0026] The technical solution of this invention can achieve at least one of the following effects:

[0027] 1. The touch-sensitive elevator button of the present invention with ultraviolet disinfection function is equipped with a physical sterilization mechanism, namely an ultraviolet disinfection lamp, which can automatically sterilize and disinfect the elevator button to avoid cross-infection between elevator passengers.

[0028] 2. The touch-sensitive elevator button with ultraviolet disinfection function of the present invention has a simple structure, is efficient and convenient, has a high degree of automation, and greatly saves labor disinfection costs.

[0029] 3. The touch-sensitive elevator button with ultraviolet disinfection function of the present invention has multiple touch buttons evenly installed circumferentially on a rotating mechanism. The rotating mechanism drives the touch buttons to rotate, so that the touch buttons face the button window or the ultraviolet disinfection lamp. When the touch button faces the button window, passengers can use it normally. When the touch button faces the ultraviolet disinfection lamp, the touch button can be disinfected. The present invention, through the continuous switching of the touch button's position between the button window and the ultraviolet disinfection lamp, has a simple structure, is safe and stable, and can achieve automatic disinfection of the touch button with high disinfection efficiency.

[0030] 4. The touch-sensitive elevator button with ultraviolet disinfection function of the present invention is equipped with multiple usable ultraviolet disinfection lamps to ensure the duration of ultraviolet disinfection, and to ensure effective disinfection of the button even when the elevator is used frequently.

[0031] In this invention, the above-described technical solutions can be combined with each other to achieve more preferred combinations.

Detailed Implementation

[0042] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, which constitute a part of the present invention and are used together with the embodiments of the present invention to illustrate the principles of the present invention, but are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0043] Example 1

[0044] A specific embodiment of the present invention discloses a touch-sensitive elevator button with ultraviolet disinfection function, such as... Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, the device includes: a housing 1, multiple touch buttons 3, a rotating mechanism 5 that can rotate the multiple touch buttons 3, an ultraviolet disinfection lamp 9, and an electric mechanism 10; wherein, the rotating mechanism 5, the ultraviolet disinfection lamp 9, and the electric mechanism 10 are all disposed inside the housing 1, and a button window 2 is provided at the front end of the housing 1. Multiple touch buttons 3 are mounted on the rotating mechanism 5, which can rotate the touch buttons 3 between the button window 2 and the ultraviolet disinfection lamp 9. When any touch button 3 is directly opposite the button window 2, a passenger can press the touch button 3 through the button window 2. When any touch button 3 is directly opposite the ultraviolet disinfection lamp 9, the ultraviolet disinfection lamp 9 can disinfect the used touch button 3. Furthermore, the electric mechanism 10 can drive the rotating mechanism 5 to rotate. When the rotating mechanism 5 rotates, it can drive different touch buttons 3 to face the button window 2 in turn, so that passengers can use the disinfected touch buttons 3. After use, the touch buttons 3 are rotated to the ultraviolet disinfection lamp 9 for sterilization. Through repeated cycles, passengers are always in contact with the disinfected touch buttons 3, avoiding cross-infection.

[0045] In one specific embodiment of the present invention, a plurality of touch buttons 3 are disposed on the side of the rotating mechanism 5 and are evenly distributed along the circumference of the rotating mechanism 5.

[0046] Furthermore, the rotating mechanism 5 is a rotating body structure. Rotating body: Imagine two points at the two ends of an object, and a line connecting the two points passes through the object. The object uses this line as its rotation center. When rotating, each part of the object has the same shape when it reaches a fixed position. This is a standard rotating body.

[0047] Alternatively, the rotating mechanism 5 can be a prism with a regular polygonal cross-section.

[0048] Preferably, the cross-section of the rotating mechanism 5 is a regular pentagon or a regular hexagon. For example... Figure 2 The image shows an example where the cross-section of the rotating mechanism 5 is a regular hexagon.

[0049] like Figure 2 As shown, when the cross-section of the rotating mechanism 5 is a regular hexagon, a touch button 3 is installed on each of the six faces of the rotating mechanism 5. When one of the touch buttons 3 is located at the button window 2 (that is, when one of the touch buttons 3 is directly opposite the button window 2), the other touch button 3 on the other side is located at the position of the ultraviolet disinfection lamp 9. That is, the touch button 3 on the opposite side is under the irradiation of the ultraviolet disinfection lamp 9 and is sterilized and disinfected by the ultraviolet disinfection lamp 9.

[0050] Furthermore, the touch-sensitive elevator button with ultraviolet disinfection function of the present invention also includes an electric mechanism 10 that can drive the rotating mechanism 5 to rotate.

[0051] In one specific embodiment of the present invention, the electric mechanism 10 that can drive the rotating mechanism 5 to rotate is a stepper motor. A stepper motor is an electric motor that converts electrical pulse signals into corresponding angular displacement or linear displacement. Each time a pulse signal is input, the rotor rotates by an angle or moves forward one step.

[0052] Specifically, when the cross-section of the rotating mechanism 5 is a regular hexagon, the rotating mechanism 5 and the electric mechanism 10 are on the same axis. Six identical touch buttons 3 are installed on the six faces of the rotating mechanism 5. When the passenger presses the touch button 3, it can trigger the electric mechanism 10 to drive the rotating mechanism 5 to rotate. After the rotating mechanism 5 rotates 60 degrees clockwise (each time it rotates 60 degrees clockwise), the next adjacent touch button 3 is moved to face the button window 2. When the touch button 3 after use (after pressing) rotates to face the ultraviolet disinfection lamp 9, the ultraviolet disinfection lamp 9 begins to disinfect the touch button 3 facing it.

[0053] In one specific embodiment of the present invention, the ultraviolet disinfection lamp 9 is located at the rear end of the housing 1 and faces the button window 2 on the housing 1, and is plugged into and connected to the integrated circuit board 8.

[0054] Furthermore, the ultraviolet light emitted by the ultraviolet disinfection lamp 9 is ultraviolet light with a wavelength of 240-280nm.

[0055] Furthermore, considering that elevator buttons may be pressed multiple times in a short period of time when elevators are used frequently, in order to ensure the effectiveness of disinfection of elevator buttons, the ultraviolet disinfection lamps 9 of the present invention are configured in multiple ways.

[0056] In one specific embodiment of the present invention, the ultraviolet disinfection lamp 9 is arc-shaped and can disinfect multiple touch buttons 3 simultaneously.

[0057] For example, such as Figure 4 As shown, the ultraviolet disinfection lamp 9 is semi-circular and can simultaneously irradiate three touch buttons 3. The irradiation time for the same touch button is the sum of the intervals between three uses of that touch button. This effectively extends the disinfection time of the ultraviolet disinfection lamp 9 on the touch button 3, ensuring the reliability of disinfection and sterilization, avoiding insufficient disinfection caused by too short an irradiation time, and effectively ensuring the safety of elevator buttons.

[0058] In another specific embodiment of the present invention, multiple ultraviolet disinfection lamps 9 are provided. Multiple ultraviolet disinfection lamps 9 are installed on the inner wall of the housing 1, and each ultraviolet disinfection lamp 9 is directly opposite a touch button 3 on the rotating mechanism 5. This allows for simultaneous sterilization of multiple touch buttons 3, effectively extending the sterilization time and ensuring the effectiveness of sterilization.

[0059] For example, such as Figure 5 As shown, there are three ultraviolet disinfection lamps 9, which can simultaneously irradiate three touch buttons 3. The irradiation time for the same touch button is the sum of the intervals between three uses of that touch button, which can effectively extend the disinfection time of the ultraviolet disinfection lamps 9 on the touch buttons 3 and ensure the effectiveness of disinfection and sterilization.

[0060] In another specific embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 6 , Figure 7 As shown, the ultraviolet disinfection lamp 9 is a rotatable lamp column, and the lamp column is provided with multiple (preferably four) circumferentially arranged lamp beads, which disinfect the touch button 3 by emitting ultraviolet light. Furthermore, the lamp column body of the ultraviolet disinfection lamp 9 can be switched in position by a switching mechanism, so that different lamp beads are aligned with the touch button 3.

[0061] Specifically, the switching mechanism is a stepper motor. The LED beads include: first LED bead 91, second LED bead 92, third LED bead 93 and fourth LED bead 94. Multiple LED beads can be switched in position through the switching mechanism so that when one LED bead is damaged, a normal LED bead can be quickly switched to disinfect the touch button 3, preventing the inability to disinfect due to only having one LED bead and a malfunction.

[0062] Furthermore, the ultraviolet disinfection lamp 9 is connected to a power source via a conductive post 95, and the ultraviolet disinfection lamp 9 and the conductive post 95 are rotatably coupled. Specifically, a conductive contact is provided on one side of the conductive post 95, and an insulating layer is provided on the outer surface of the conductive post 95.

[0063] Correspondingly, the lamp post is provided with a first contact, a second contact, a third contact, and a fourth contact evenly distributed circumferentially. Each of the first, second, third, and fourth contacts can independently make contact with a conductive contact to achieve electrical connection. Further, the first LED 91 is electrically connected to the conductive post 95 via the first contact, the second LED 92 is electrically connected to the conductive post 95 via the second contact, the third LED 93 is electrically connected to the conductive post 95 via the third contact, and the fourth LED 94 is electrically connected to the conductive post 95 via the fourth contact.

[0064] Furthermore, a light sensor is provided. When the light sensor does not detect ultraviolet light, the integrated circuit board 8 controls the switching mechanism to rotate the lamp column, thereby switching the position of the ultraviolet disinfection lamp 9. When the switching mechanism rotates the lamp column, different contacts on the lamp column are electrically connected to the conductive column 95, thereby connecting different lamp beads into the circuit.

[0065] Furthermore, the conductive contacts face the direction of the touch button 3, that is, the LED beads connected to the circuit face the direction of the touch button 3. When a certain LED bead fails, the rotating lamp post switches to different LED beads connected to the circuit to ensure continuous disinfection of the touch button 3.

[0066] In one specific embodiment of the present invention, an integrated circuit board 8 is further provided inside the housing 1. The integrated circuit board 8 is used to transmit information and control the start and stop of the ultraviolet disinfection lamp 9 and the electric mechanism 10.

[0067] Furthermore, the electric mechanism 10 is connected to the integrated circuit board 8, and the electric mechanism 10 receives a signal from the integrated circuit board 8 to drive the rotating mechanism 5 to rotate.

[0068] Furthermore, the integrated circuit board 8 can send floor information to the elevator's main controller, thereby driving the elevator to operate.

[0069] Furthermore, after the touch button 3 is pressed, the integrated circuit board 8 transmits floor information and simultaneously transmits a drive signal to the electric mechanism 10. The electric mechanism 10 then drives the rotating mechanism 5 to rotate through a preset angle, so that the next touch button 3 is directly opposite the button window 2, and the pressed touch button 3 is moved to one side of the button window 2.

[0070] Furthermore, the touch-sensitive elevator button with ultraviolet disinfection function of the present invention is also provided with a collector ring 6.

[0071] In one specific embodiment of the present invention, the collector ring 6 is disposed inside the rotating mechanism 5 and is used to connect the touch control button 3 and the integrated circuit board 8.

[0072] Furthermore, the touch button 3 is connected to the integrated circuit board 8 via a collector ring 6. The collector ring 6 and the rotating mechanism 5 are located on the same axis, and the collector ring 6 is installed at one end of the rotating mechanism 5, such as... Figure 3 As shown, the central axis of the collector ring 6 coincides with the rotation axis of the rotating mechanism 5.

[0073] Furthermore, the outer ring of the collector ring 6 is electrically connected to the touch button 3, and the inner ring of the collector ring 6 is connected to the integrated circuit board 8.

[0074] Furthermore, the outer ring of the slip ring 6 is fixedly connected to the rotating mechanism 5, and the inner ring of the slip ring 6 is fixedly connected to the housing 1.

[0075] Furthermore, the multiple touch buttons 3 on the rotating mechanism 5 can be used to receive touch signals from passengers, and after receiving the signals, they can be transmitted to the integrated circuit board 8.

[0076] In use, the electric mechanism 10 drives the rotating mechanism 5 and the touch button 3 to rotate. The outer ring of the collector ring 6 rotates synchronously with the rotating mechanism 5, while the inner ring of the collector ring 6 remains stationary. The collector ring 6 enables electrical connection and signal transmission between the rotatable touch button 3 and the stationary integrated circuit board 8. In other words, the collector ring 6 can transmit power and signals from a fixed position to the integrated circuit board 8 while the rotating mechanism 5 rotates continuously.

[0077] In one specific embodiment of the present invention, the ultraviolet disinfection lamp 9 is plugged into and connected to the integrated circuit board 8. After receiving a start signal from the integrated circuit board 8, the ultraviolet disinfection lamp 9 starts to sterilize the touch button 3. The time relay on the integrated circuit board 8 can control the ultraviolet disinfection lamp 9 to stop working after the ultraviolet disinfection lamp 9 has fully sterilized the touch button 3, and then turn it on again for the next sterilization when ultraviolet disinfection is needed.

[0078] In one specific embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 1 As shown, the housing 1 has symmetrical mounting lugs 4 on both sides, and each mounting lug 4 has two threaded holes in which screws are installed; the housing 1 is mounted on the elevator control panel by screws. Furthermore, multiple touch-sensitive elevator buttons are installed on the elevator control panel, and each touch-sensitive elevator button corresponds to a different floor. Figure 1 This is the main view of the touch button when the floor number is 6.

[0079] In implementation, the output shaft of the electric mechanism 10 is fixedly connected to the rotating mechanism 5, enabling the rotating mechanism 5 to rotate. The electric mechanism 10 is plugged into the integrated circuit board 8, which controls the start and stop. The electric mechanism 10 is located inside the housing 1, and the rotating mechanism 5 with touch buttons 3 is located in the middle of the button housing. The electric mechanism 10 can drive the rotating mechanism 5 to rotate, allowing the touch buttons 3 on the rotating mechanism 5 to be sterilized sequentially by the ultraviolet disinfection lamp 9. Furthermore, the touch buttons 3 on the rotating mechanism 5 send signals to the integrated circuit board 8 through the slip ring 6. After receiving the signals from the touch buttons 3, the integrated circuit board 8 can not only control the operation of the elevator but also send start and stop signals to the ultraviolet disinfection lamp 9.

[0080] Example 2

[0081] A specific embodiment of the present invention provides a disinfection method for a contact elevator button with ultraviolet disinfection function as described in Embodiment 1, comprising the following steps:

[0082] Step S1: Press the touch button 3, and the touch button 3 sends a signal to the integrated circuit board 8;

[0083] Step S2: The integrated circuit board 8 controls the electric mechanism 10 to output torque, and the electric mechanism 10 drives the rotating mechanism 5 to rotate.

[0084] Step S3: Rotate the rotating mechanism 5 to rotate the adjacent touch button 3 to the position of the button window 2 for the next use; at the same time, rotate the pressed touch button 3 to one side of the button window 2.

[0085] Step S4: Repeat steps S1-S3 until the pressed touch button 3 is moved to the position of the ultraviolet disinfection lamp 9, and disinfect the used touch button 3.

[0086] Specifically:

[0087] In step S1, the touch button 3 and the integrated circuit board 8 are electrically connected through the collector ring 6, so that a signal can be transmitted after the touch button 3 is triggered.

[0088] In step S2, the torque output by the electric mechanism 10 (stepper motor) is fixed each time; n touch buttons 3 are evenly installed circumferentially on the rotating mechanism 5, so the fixed torque output by the electric mechanism 10 at one time is 360° / n, so that multiple touch buttons 3 can be aligned with the button window 2 one by one and put into use, and can be sterilized and disinfected one by one after use.

[0089] In step S3, after the elevator passenger presses the touch button 3, the touch button 3 sends a signal to the integrated circuit board 8, and the integrated circuit board 8 controls the rotating mechanism 5 to drive the touch button 3 to rotate 60 degrees clockwise.

[0090] In step S4, when one of the elevator's touch buttons 3 is pressed, the touch button 3 rotates three times until it is directly facing the ultraviolet disinfection lamp 9. The ultraviolet disinfection lamp 9 then begins to disinfect the touch button 3 facing the ultraviolet disinfection lamp 9. Furthermore, when the ultraviolet disinfection lamp 9 is an arc-shaped lamp or there are three ultraviolet disinfection lamps 9, such as... Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, after use, the touch button 3 rotates twice under the drive of the rotating mechanism 5 and then faces the ultraviolet disinfection lamp 9 for disinfection. Furthermore, the touch button 3 only leaves the irradiation range of the ultraviolet disinfection lamp 9 after the rotating mechanism 5 rotates three more times. This means that each touch button 3 can remain under the ultraviolet disinfection lamp 9 for the duration of the rotating mechanism 5's three rotations, extending the disinfection time and ensuring the effectiveness of disinfection.

[0091] In one specific embodiment of the present invention, further, to avoid potential contamination of elevator buttons by suspended bacteria present in the natural environment, the time relay on the integrated circuit board 8 is first set to a fixed time value. When the touch button 3 is not used for more than the preset time value, the automatic disinfection mode is activated. For example, the fixed time value is 1 hour, and the automatic disinfection mode is activated when the touch button 3 is not used for an interval of 1 hour.

[0092] Specifically, after the automatic disinfection mode is activated: the electric mechanism 10 outputs a preset angle once every preset disinfection time interval, and the preset disinfection time is not less than 5 minutes to ensure effective disinfection; until all touch buttons 3 have been disinfected, the ultraviolet disinfection lamp 9 is turned off.

[0093] Specifically, when n touch buttons 3 are installed on the rotating mechanism 5, the preset angle is 360° / n. After the electric mechanism 10 operates n times, it completes one disinfection cycle. After one disinfection cycle, if the touch buttons 3 are not activated, the ultraviolet disinfection lamp 9 is turned off.

[0094] Furthermore, the preset disinfection time can be set according to the needs of sterilization and disinfection. For example, if the death time of a certain bacterium or virus is m minutes under ultraviolet irradiation, and special epidemic prevention needs require the sterilization of this bacterium or virus, then the preset disinfection time is m minutes. m is an integer.

[0095] Preferably, when there are no special epidemic prevention needs, the preset disinfection time is 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 15 minutes or 20 minutes.

[0096] In automatic disinfection mode, the integrated circuit board 8 controls the electric mechanism 10 to output a fixed torque once every preset disinfection time interval, that is, the rotating mechanism 5 rotates once every preset disinfection time interval. After the rotating mechanism 5 rotates n times, all touch buttons 3 are disinfected.

[0097] Furthermore, after the elevator passenger presses the touch button 3 again, the elevator button will undergo a new round of ultraviolet disinfection, and steps S1-S4 will be repeated.

[0098] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution provided in this embodiment has at least one of the following beneficial effects:

[0099] 1. The touch-sensitive elevator button of the present invention with ultraviolet disinfection function is equipped with a physical sterilization mechanism, namely an ultraviolet disinfection lamp, which can automatically sterilize and disinfect the elevator button to avoid cross-infection between elevator passengers.

[0100] 2. The touch-sensitive elevator button with ultraviolet disinfection function of the present invention has multiple touch buttons 3 evenly installed circumferentially on a rotating mechanism 5. The rotating mechanism 5 drives the touch buttons 3 to rotate, so that the touch buttons 3 are directly facing the button window 2 or the ultraviolet disinfection lamp 9. The present invention enables the sequential use of the touch buttons 3 by continuously switching the positions of the touch buttons 3 in the button window 2 and the ultraviolet disinfection lamp 9, and also enables automatic disinfection of the touch buttons 3.

[0101] 3. The touch-sensitive elevator button with ultraviolet disinfection function of the present invention is equipped with multiple usable ultraviolet disinfection lamps 9 to ensure the duration of ultraviolet disinfection, and to ensure effective disinfection of the button even when the elevator is used frequently.

[0102] 4. During the use of the touch-sensitive elevator button with ultraviolet disinfection function of the present invention, there is an automatic disinfection mode, which can sterilize and disinfect multiple touch buttons 3 in sequence when the touch buttons 3 are not in use, thus avoiding contamination of the elevator buttons by bacteria or viruses suspended in the air.

[0103] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
