Abstract
Description
Elevator side panel structure Technical Field
[0001] This work is related to elevators, specifically referring to a type of elevator side panel structure. Prior Technology
[0002] It is known that the side panels of existing elevator cars are mostly made of metal plates. These side panels form the inner wall of the elevator, thereby ensuring passenger safety. Generally speaking, these side panels are usually fixed to the columns or beams of the elevator car by screws or welding. First, welding is done by heating the metal material to a molten state and then fusing two adjacent metal surfaces together. Although the welding connection method is strong, the construction process of assembling the elevator side panels is difficult and time-consuming, and it is not easy to repair or replace the side panels.
[0003] Another common method for fixing side panels to the elevator car's columns or beams is screw fastening. Two adjacent planes are fixed together by screws and nuts, which must be fastened one by one, making the assembly process cumbersome and time-consuming. In addition, when maintenance or replacement of side panels is required, screws must be removed one by one, which can easily lead to problems such as lost screws or stripped threads. In summary, the existing elevator side panel structure still has room for improvement in terms of assembly efficiency and maintenance convenience. Summary of the Invention
[0004] In view of this, the purpose of this invention is to provide an elevator side panel structure that combines assembly efficiency and maintenance convenience.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this invention provides an elevator side panel structure comprising at least one support frame, at least one side frame, and at least one cover plate. The at least one support frame has at least one first hook hole with a bottom edge seal. The at least one side frame has at least one second hook hole with a bottom edge seal. The at least one cover plate has two long sides, and each long side has at least one hook, forming a narrow space between the at least one hook and one adjacent long side. The slit forms an inner edge at the point where it connects with the at least one hook, thereby connecting the at least one cover plate to the at least one support frame and the at least one side frame when the at least one hook on one long side passes through the at least one first hook hole of the at least one support frame and the at least one hook on the other long side passes through the at least one second hook hole, and when the inner edges of the hooks abut against the bottom edge of the first hook hole and the bottom edge of the second hook hole, respectively.
[0006] The effect of this invention is that, by means of at least one cover plate, at least one hook on one long side passes through at least one first hook hole of at least one support frame, and at least one hook on the other long side passes through at least one second hook hole of at least one side frame. When the inner edge of the hooks abuts against the bottom edge of the corresponding first hook hole and the bottom edge of the corresponding second hook hole, the at least one cover plate is connected between the at least one support frame and the at least one side frame. Furthermore, the corresponding hooks can be removed in reverse from the at least one first hook hole and the at least one second hook hole, thereby achieving the purpose of quick installation and convenient maintenance.

The top sides of the wall surfaces 32 are connected to the top plate 10, and the bottom sides of the wall surfaces 32 are connected to the bottom plate 20. The assembled top plate 10 and bottom plate 20 are located along the extension direction of an axis L, and an accommodating space S is formed inside the elevator car 100.
[0009] The three walls 32 of the elevator car 100 are respectively composed of at least one support frame 40, at least one side frame 50 and at least one cover plate 60. In this embodiment, the composition of one wall 32 includes two support frames 40, two side frames 50 and three cover plates 60 (see Figure 7). For ease of description, the connection relationship of one support frame 40, one side frame 50 and one cover plate 60 will be described below.
[0010] Please refer to Figure 2. The support frame 40 includes a main support plate 41 and two side support plates 42. The two side support plates 42 are vertically connected to both sides of the main support plate 41 (please refer to Figure 8). The main support plate 41 has at least one first hook hole 41a, which is arranged along the extension direction of the axis L. The at least one first hook hole 41a has a bottom sealing edge 41b. The two side support plates 42 include a plurality of screw holes 42a, which are arranged along the extension direction of the axis L.
[0011] The side frame 50 includes a first main side plate 51, a second main side plate 52, a first side plate 53, and a second side plate 54 (see Figure 9). One side of the first main side plate 51 is perpendicularly connected to one side of the second main side plate 52, the other side of the first main side plate 51 is perpendicularly connected to the first side plate 53, and the other side of the second main side plate 52 is perpendicularly connected to the second side plate 54. The first main side plate 51 and the second main side plate 52 each have at least one second hook. Hole 51a, the at least one second hook hole 51a is respectively disposed on the first main side plate 51 and the second main side plate 52 along the extension direction of the axis L, the at least one second hook hole 51a has a bottom end sealing edge 51b, the first side plate 53 and the second side plate 54 include a plurality of screw holes 53a and 54a, the plurality of screw holes 53a and 54a are respectively disposed on the first side plate 53 and the second side plate 54 along the extension direction of the axis L.
[0012] The cover 60 includes a main cover 61 and a two-fold plate 62. The two-fold plate 62 is vertically connected to both sides of the main cover 61. Each fold plate 62 has a long side 63 on one side edge away from the main cover 61, and each long side 63 has at least one hook 64. A slit 65 is formed between the at least one hook 64 and one of the adjacent long sides 63. The slit 65 forms an inner edge 66 at the part where it is connected to the at least one hook 64.
[0013] Referring to Figures 2 to 6, during assembly, the cover plate 60 uses at least one hook 64 on one long side 63 to pass through at least one first hook hole 41a on the main support plate 41 via the support frame 40, and at least one hook 64 on the other long side 63 to pass through at least one second hook hole 51a on the first main side plate 51 via the side frame 50. When the inner edges 66 of the hooks 64 respectively abut against the bottom sealing edge 41b of the at least one first hook hole 41a and the bottom sealing edge 51b of the at least one second hook hole 51a, the cover plate 60 is connected between the support frame 40 and the side frame 50, so that the cover plate 60... The folding plate 62 on one side is parallel to the adjacent side support plate 42. The folding plate 62 on the other side of the cover plate 60 is parallel to the first side plate 53. Each screw hole 42a of the side support plate 42 is provided with a screw 42b for locking. One side of the screw 42b abuts against the corresponding folding plate 62. Each screw hole 53a on the first side plate 53 is provided with a screw 53b for locking. One side of the screw 53b abuts against the corresponding folding plate 62 (see Figures 8 and 9). The above-mentioned technical means of connecting the support frame 40 and the cover plate 60 is also applicable to connecting one cover plate 60 between two support frames 40, which will not be described in detail here.
[0014] More specifically, referring to Figure 8, taking a support frame 40 as an example, the main support plate 41 is simultaneously connected to at least one cover plate 60. In this preferred embodiment, the main support plate 41 is simultaneously connected to two cover plates 60. At least one hook 64 of the folding plate 62 on the adjacent side of the two cover plates 60 is simultaneously hooked in the corresponding at least one first hook hole 41a. The folding plate 62 on one side of each cover plate 60 is parallel to the side support plate 42 on the adjacent side and is screwed into each screw hole 42a with a screw 42b. One side of the screw 42b abuts against the corresponding folding plate 62.
[0015] More specifically, referring to Figure 9, taking a side frame 50 as an example, the side frame 50 is used to connect two cover plates 60. The first main side plate 51 is used to connect one cover plate 60, and the second main side plate 52 is used to connect the other cover plate 60. At least one hook 64 of the folding plate 62 on the adjacent side of the two cover plates 60 is respectively hooked into the corresponding second hook hole 51a, so that the first side plate 53 is parallel to the folding plate 62 on one side of the adjacent cover plate 60, and the second side plate 54 is parallel to the folding plate 62 on one side of the adjacent cover plate 60. Each screw hole 53a is tightened with a screw 53b, one side of the screw 53b abutting against the corresponding folding plate 62.
