Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to elevator landing operation devices, and more particularly to a lower operation panel that does not require opening new wiring holes in the landing wall, but instead sets up a lower operation panel below the indicator and the upper operation panel, thereby suppressing the increase in the number of components and preventing damage to the wiring, and simplifying the construction operation. Background Technology

[0002] In elevators, renovation work, known as refurbishment, is typically carried out as needed to address aging or improve functionality. In this renovation work, as described in Patent Document 1, the existing floor indicator is sometimes replaced with a new one, for example, from analog to digital. An operating panel is integrally mounted below the indicator, and this operating panel has buttons for calling the elevator car.

[0003] Figure 11 The area near the existing floor station operation device 100 is shown. Figure 12 yes Figure 11 AA sectional view. For example... Figure 11 , Figure 12 As shown, electrical components such as lamp 104 protrude significantly from the back of the indicator device 101, which includes the existing analog indicator 102 and control panel 103. Wiring or circuit board 105 and other electrical components are connected to these electrical components. A landing box 15 is embedded and fixed in the landing wall 10. The landing box 15 is located at the landing side end of the landing wall 10. Figure 12 The floor box 15 is a rectangular box with an opening at its left end. It protects the electrical components it houses from external contaminants such as water or dust. Furthermore, when replacing existing indicators with new digital indicators or control panels using LCD displays or LEDs, the floor box also protects wiring, connectors, and other electrical components from external contaminants.

[0004] In the case of replacing the indicator in the above-mentioned modification work, it is difficult to remove the existing landing box 15 that is embedded and fixed to the landing wall 10. Therefore, the landing box 15 is generally used.

[0005] Patent Document 2 describes a structure as follows: A metal plate mounting plate is fixed to a storage box (stall box) fixed to the wall of a landing station, covering its opening. A general indicator and a wheelchair indicator are mounted on the surface of the mounting plate via magnets or the like. An upper control panel is integrally provided with the general indicator. A lower control panel is provided with the wheelchair indicator. In this structure, an upper opening is formed on the upper side of the mounting plate for the operation wiring of the upper control panel to pass through. A lower opening is formed on the lower side of the mounting plate for the operation wiring of the lower control panel to pass through. The operation wiring of the lower control panel is guided to the storage box by a guide member fitted into the lower opening.

[0009] Patent Document 2: Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2018-100154 Summary of the Invention

[0010] The problem that the invention aims to solve

[0011] When replacing the indicators on the landing control unit, there is a strong desire to add a control panel for wheelchair users below. In this case, a lower control panel with dedicated buttons for wheelchair users needs to be installed below the indicator and the standard upper control panel. However, typically, the existing landing box in the building's landing wall lacks a hole for wiring to connect to the lower control panel. Therefore, a new wiring hole needs to be drilled in the landing wall to open into the elevator landing and shaft, but this drilling is difficult and requires considerable effort. Furthermore, the noise during construction can sometimes be a problem for residents.

[0012] In the structure described in Patent Document 2 above, it is possible to install a lower operating panel below the upper indicator and the upper operating panel without opening new wiring holes in the station wall. However, the lower opening and the upper opening are separate on the mounting plate. Furthermore, a magnet and a snap-fit ​​part for positioning the indicator relative to the mounting plate are provided between the upper and lower openings. As a result, the vertical length of the lower opening is reduced. Therefore, the portion of the operating cable leading from the lower opening of the mounting plate near the exit point needs to be sharply bent near the upper end of the lower opening. Consequently, the operating cable may come into contact with the edge of the metal mounting plate and be damaged.

[0013] In the structure described in Patent Document 2, to prevent damage to the aforementioned operational wiring, a guide member that fits into the lower opening is also considered for guiding the operational wiring. However, this could increase the number of components, making the installation process more complicated. Furthermore, it could significantly restrict the flexibility of wiring handling. Therefore, the installation process could also become cumbersome.

[0014] The purpose of this invention is to provide an elevator landing operation device that allows a lower operation panel to be installed below the indicator and the upper operation panel without opening new wiring holes in the landing wall, and can suppress the increase in the number of components and prevent damage to the wiring, and can facilitate construction operations.

[0015] Methods for solving problems

[0016] The elevator landing operation device of the present invention is characterized by comprising: a landing wall having a through opening between the elevator landing and the shaft; a landing box disposed within the through opening to protect the electrical components therein from external foreign objects; a mounting plate covering the landing side opening of the through opening and fixed to the landing wall; and an upper indicator, a middle upper control panel, and a lower lower control panel, which are fixed to the mounting plate from the landing side. The mounting plate has a lead-out opening that extends vertically from a position corresponding to the landing box and higher than the uppermost end of the upper control panel to a position corresponding to the lower control panel. At least the operating wiring of the lower control panel passes through the lead-out opening and is led out to the landing box.

[0017] According to the elevator landing operation device of the present invention, a lead-out opening is provided on the mounting plate, extending vertically from a position corresponding to the landing box and higher than the upper end of the upper operation panel to a position corresponding to the lower operation panel. At least the operation wiring of the lower operation panel is led out to the landing box through the lead-out opening. Therefore, a lower operation panel for wheelchair users can be installed below the indicator and the upper operation panel without the need to open new wiring holes in the landing wall. Furthermore, the vertical length of the portion of the lead-out opening opposite the landing box can be easily increased, thus eliminating the need for the lower operation panel's operation wiring to bend sharply near the upper end of the lead-out opening on the mounting plate. Additionally, it is unnecessary to fit a guide member for guiding the lower operation panel's operation wiring into the lead-out opening. This suppresses the increase in the number of components and prevents wiring damage, while also simplifying the installation process. Furthermore, the freedom of handling the operation wiring is increased, thereby also simplifying the installation process.

[0018] In the elevator landing operation device of the present invention, it can also be configured such that two locking plates protruding toward the back are provided at two separate positions on the back of the mounting plate in the vertical or horizontal direction, and the locking plates are locked to the inner surface of the landing box. According to this structure, compared with a structure that fixes the mounting plate to the landing box by threaded connection, it is easier to fix the mounting plate to the landing wall.

[0019] In the elevator landing operation device of the present invention, the indicator and the upper operation panel may also be disposed on the upper housing, the lower operation panel is disposed on the lower housing, the upper housing and the lower housing are separately mounted on the surface of the mounting plate in the vertical direction, and the surface of the upper housing and the lower housing are covered by a cover component on the surface of the mounting plate.

[0020] According to this structure, even when the height of the upper housing, which includes the indicator and upper control panel, varies depending on the floor, and the vertical distance between the upper housing and the lower housing, which includes the lower control panel, also varies depending on the floor, aesthetic degradation can be suppressed, and the lower control panel can be easily installed on the floor operating device. In this case, only the vertical length of the mounting plate needs to be changed, and a cover component with a vertical length corresponding to the floor can be used. Therefore, the lower control panel can be installed at different distances from the upper control panel depending on the floor's configuration. Furthermore, it is not necessary to change the size of the upper and lower housings depending on the floor.

[0021] In the elevator landing operation device of the present invention, it can also be configured such that the indicator and the upper operation panel are disposed on the upper housing, the lower operation panel is disposed on the lower housing, the upper housing is mounted on the surface of the mounting plate, and on the surface of the mounting plate, there are a plurality of lower housing mounting positions at different distances from the upper housing at positions lower than the upper housing, the lower housing is mounted on a portion of the plurality of lower housing mounting positions, and on the surface of the mounting plate, one or both of the portion between the surface ends of the upper housing and the lower housing and the portion protruding downward from the lower end of the lower housing are covered by a cover component.

[0022] This structure prevents aesthetic degradation and allows for easy installation of the lower control panel at different distances from the upper control panel depending on the floor level. In this case, there is no need to change the size of the upper and lower housings or the mounting plate.

[0023] Invention Effects

[0024] According to the elevator landing operation device of the present invention, a lower operation panel can be set below the indicator and the upper operation panel without opening new wiring holes in the landing wall, and the increase in the number of components can be suppressed and the damage to the wiring can be prevented, and the construction operation can be simplified.

[0037] Figure 12 yes Figure 11 AA sectional view. Detailed Implementation

[0038] Hereinafter, an elevator landing operation device according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described using the accompanying drawings. The shapes, materials, quantities, and positional relationships described below are illustrative examples and can be appropriately changed depending on the elevator specifications. Hereinafter, the same reference numerals will be used to denote the same elements in all the accompanying drawings.

[0039] Figure 1 This indicates the area near the elevator where the landing operation device 20 is installed. Figure 2 yes Figure 1 Enlarged view of part B. Figure 3A yes Figure 2 CC section view. Figure 3B It will be from Figure 3A The removed indicator device 21 and lower operating device 40 are separated from the mounting plate 50 in the thickness direction, and the thickness of each device 21 and 40 is exaggerated in a partially enlarged cross-sectional view. Figure 4 From Figure 2 The indicator device 21 and the lower operating device 40 are shown after removal.

[0040] The elevator car moves up and down within a shaft 110 located in the building. The movement of the car is controlled by a control device. A landing door 114 is provided at each elevator landing, which is configured to open and close to provide access to a passenger / landing opening 112 located on the landing wall 10 of the building. A landing operation device 20 is located near the passenger / landing opening 112.

[0041] The landing operation device 20 is used by users to register a call by pressing buttons on the control panel, thereby moving the car to their current floor. When a user presses the up or down button on the control panel, a call registration signal is output from the control panel via the operation wiring to a control device in the machine room or similar above the hoistway 110. One end of the operation wiring is connected to the control panel, and the other end is connected to the control device via the hoistway 110. Based on the signal received from the control panel, the control device registers the car's call and controls the car to move to the user's floor. The landing operation device 20 is also equipped with indicators displaying the car's position, expected direction of movement, etc.

[0042] In the floor station operation device 20 of this example, a lower operation panel 41 for wheelchair users is provided below the upper operation panel 22 used by general users. As a result, a wide range of users can use the floor station operation device 20.

[0043] like Figure 3A As shown, a through opening 11 is provided in the landing wall 10 near the boarding / alighting opening 112, opening into the elevator landing 115 and the hoistway 110. The landing operation device 20 is configured to include the landing wall 10, a landing box 15 disposed within the through opening 11, a mounting plate 50 covering the landing side opening of the through opening 11 and fixed to the landing wall 10, and an indicator device 21 and a lower operation device 40 fixed to the mounting plate 50. The indicator device 21 has an indicator 24 and an upper operation panel 22 for general users to register calls. The lower operation device 40 is disposed below the indicator device 21 and has a lower operation panel 41 for wheelchair users to register calls.

[0044] like Figure 3A , Figure 4 As shown, the landing box 15 has an opening at the landing side and is fixed to the through opening 11 at the landing side. Figure 3AThe floor box 15 is a rectangular box-shaped structure (located at its left end). As described above, the floor box 15 protects the electrical components, such as wiring and connectors, it from external contaminants. The floor box 15 is made of metal, such as iron or stainless steel. An opening 17 is provided in the middle of the vertical direction of the inner wall 16 of the floor box 15 for guiding the wiring, such as the operation wiring described later, out of the floor box 15. Figure 3A As shown, a gasket 18 may also be provided at the box opening 17. The gasket 18 is used to prevent water and other foreign objects from entering the floor box 15 while allowing wiring to pass through.

[0045] like Figure 4 As shown, in the landing wall 10, near the opening end of the landing box 15, there are a plurality of threaded holes 13 for threading the indicator device 21 and the mounting plate 50 to the landing wall 10. Alternatively, existing threaded holes for fixing the indicator device, which are installed before the indicator device 21 in the landing wall 10, can also be used as threaded holes 13. In this case, it is not necessary to form new threaded holes in the landing wall 10.

[0046] Figure 5 From Figure 3A Figure (a) shows the mounting plate 50 removed and viewed from the front side, and Figure (b) shows it viewed from the side. The mounting plate 50 covers the landing-side opening of the through opening 11 and is fixed to the landing wall 10. The mounting plate 50 is a roughly rectangular flat plate made of resin such as acrylic resin, with a plate thickness of about 5 mm. For example, the plate thickness of the mounting plate 50 can be set to 4.5 to 5.5 mm. In addition, an indicator device 21 including an upper indicator 24 (described later) and an upper operating panel 22 (described later) and a lower operating panel 41 including a lower operating panel 41 are fixed to the mounting plate 50 from the landing side. In the following description, the elevator landing 115 side is referred to as the front side, and the hoistway 110 side is referred to as the back side. In addition, the horizontal direction when viewing the indicator 24 and each operating panel 22, 41 from the front side is referred to as the left-right direction.

[0047] The mounting plate 50 is provided with a through-hole 51 extending along the thickness direction. The through-hole 51 is an opening for the indicator wiring of the indicator, the upper operation wiring of the upper operation panel, and the lower operation wiring of the lower operation panel to pass through.

[0048] The outlet 51 extends relatively long in the vertical direction from the middle of the mounting plate 50 to its lower part. Specifically, the outlet 51 extends from the uppermost P of the upper operating panel 22, corresponding to the floor box 15. Figure 3A , Figure 3BThe lower control panel 41 extends vertically to a position corresponding to the lower control panel 41. Therefore, as will be described later, the lower control panel 41 can be positioned below the indicator 24 and the upper control panel 22 without requiring a new wiring hole in the station wall 10 for the lower control wiring 42 of the lower control panel 41 to pass through. Furthermore, this reduces the need for an increase in the number of components, prevents damage to the wiring, and simplifies the construction process.

[0049] As described above, the mounting plate 50 is fixed to the landing wall 10. An indicator device 21 and a lower operating device 40 are fixed to the mounting plate 50 from the landing side. Therefore, at multiple locations near the outer periphery of the mounting plate 50, nail posts 54, screw through holes 55, and threaded holes 56 are formed to protrude towards the landing side. Figure 5 In (a) and (b), the blackened circles or rectangles represent nail posts 54. Additionally, in... Figure 5 (a) The hollow solid line circle within the range of arrow L1 represents the screw through hole 55 as a cylindrical hole, and the hollow solid line circle within the range of arrow L2 represents the threaded hole 56 with internal thread.

[0050] The pin 54 is provided for positioning by passing through pin insertion holes (not shown) formed in the upper housing 25 of the indicator device 21 and the lower housing 44 of the lower operating device 40, as described later. The screw through hole 55 is provided for threading the mounting plate 50 and the upper housing 25 together to the station wall 10. The threaded hole 56 is provided for threading the lower housing 44 to the mounting plate 50.

[0051] Furthermore, the mounting plate 50 has a wide section 52 on its upper side and a narrow section 53 on its lower side, which is narrower in the left-right direction than the wide section 52. The lower operating device 40 is positioned opposite the lower end of the narrow section 53. By providing the wide section 52 in the outlet opening 51, it is easy to lead multiple cables out from the wide section 52 to the floor box 15 side.

[0052] In the mounting plate 50, a generally rectangular upper opening 58 is provided above the lead-out opening 51, extending through the thickness direction of the mounting plate 50. This allows for further weight reduction of the mounting plate 50.

[0053] The indicator device 21 has an indicator 24 and an upper control panel 22 mounted on a generally rectangular, thin upper housing 25. For example... Figure 3BAs shown, the upper housing 25 is configured to include: a base component 26, which is flat and box-shaped with an opening at its front end; and a flat and box-shaped cover 27, which is fitted and fixed to the outer peripheral surface of the base component 26 and covers the opening end of the base component 26. A housing hole 28 is provided in the base plate 26a of the base component 26 for the passage of wiring 29, 30 for the indicator 24 and the upper operation panel 22 (described later). The housing hole 28 is located at the upper end of the lead-out opening 51 (described later) and is positioned opposite the box opening 17 of the landing box 15 in the front-back direction. Although not shown in the figure, the base plate 26a also has a stud insertion hole and a screw through hole. A portion of a stud 54 of the mounting plate 50 is inserted into the stud insertion hole of the base plate 26a. The screw through hole of the base plate 26a is provided for threading the indicator device 21 to the landing wall 10.

[0054] On the side of the indicator device 21, the display surface of the indicator 24 protrudes from the upper part of the cover 27 of the upper housing 25. On the side of the indicator device 21, the upper and lower buttons of the upper operation dial 22 protrude from the lower part of the cover 27.

[0055] The indicator device 21 is fixed in the mounting plate 50 within the upper mounting range from the top end to the middle in the vertical direction. Figure 5 (a) The area indicated by arrow L1. Specifically, the nail post 54 located in the upper mounting area of ​​the mounting plate 50 is inserted into the nail post insertion hole of the base component 26 in an engaged state. Thus, the base component 26 is positioned on the mounting plate 50. In this state, a screw passing through the screw through-hole 55 located in the upper mounting areas of both the base component 26 and the mounting plate 50 is threaded into the threaded hole 13 of the landing wall 10. In this state, the cover 27 is fixed to the base component 26. Thus, the indicator device 21 is fixed to the landing wall 10 via the mounting plate 50.

[0056] Additionally, the indicator cable 29 connected to the indicator 24 and the upper operation cable 30 connected to the base plate of the upper operation panel 22 pass through the housing hole 28 of the base component 26 and the upper end of the exit opening 51 of the mounting plate 50 opposite the housing hole 28, and are led out to the landing box 15. The indicator cable 29 and the upper operation cable 30 leading out to the landing box 15, as described later, together with the lower operation cable 42 of the lower operation panel 41, pass through the box opening 17 at the inner end of the landing box 15 and are led out to the wellbore 110 side of the through opening 11.

[0057] The lower operating device 40 has a lower operating plate 41 mounted on a generally rectangular, thin lower housing 44. The lower housing 44, like the upper housing 25, is configured to include: a base member 45, which is flat and box-shaped with an opening at one end; and a cover 46, which fits and is fixed to the outer peripheral surface of the base member 45 and covers the opening end of the base member 45. A housing hole 48 is provided in the base plate 45a of the base member 45 for the lower operating wiring 42 of the lower operating plate 41 to pass through. Although not shown in the figure, the base plate 45a also has a stud insertion hole and a screw through hole for fixing the lower housing 44 to the mounting plate 50. A stud 54 of the lower part of the mounting plate 50 is inserted into the stud insertion hole of the base plate 45a. The screw through hole of the base plate 45a is provided for threading the lower operating device 40 to the mounting plate 50.

[0058] On the side of the lower operating device 40, the upper and lower buttons of the lower operating panel 41 are exposed from the cover 46 of the lower housing 44.

[0059] The lower operating device 40 is fixed in the mounting plate 50 to the lower mounting range, which is lower than the upper mounting range. Figure 5 (a) The area indicated by arrow L2. Specifically, the stud located in the lower mounting area of ​​the mounting plate 50 is inserted into the stud insertion hole of the base component 45 in an engaged state. Thus, the base component is positioned on the mounting plate 50. In this state, a screw passing through the screw through hole of the base component 45 is threaded into the threaded hole 56 located in the lower mounting area of ​​the mounting plate 50. Additionally, the cover 46 is fixed to the base component 45.

[0060] As described above, the upper mounting area of ​​the mounting plate 50 is fixed to the floor wall 10. Thus, the lower operating device 40 is fixed to the floor wall 10 via the mounting plate 50. In this state, the upper housing 25 and the lower housing 44 are mounted on the mounting plate 50 in a close and adjacent manner in the vertical direction. In this structure, it is not necessary to form additional threaded holes in the floor wall 10 to fix the lower operating device 40 to the floor wall 10.

[0061] Additionally, the lower operation cable 42, which connects to the base plates of the upper and lower buttons on the lower operation panel 41, is led out from the housing hole 48 of the lower housing 44 to the lower end of the lead-out opening 51 of the mounting plate 50. The lower end of the lead-out opening 51 faces the surface of the floor station wall 10. The lower operation cable 42 passes through the space between the lower housing 44 and the surface of the floor station wall 10 and the space of the opening to the floor station box 15 on its upper side in the lead-out opening 51, and is led out from the upper part of the lead-out opening 51 to the floor station box 15.

[0062] The lower operation cable 42, leading to the landing box 15, together with the indicator cable 29 and the upper operation cable 30, passes through the box opening 17 located at the inner end of the landing box 15 and is led out to the hoistway 110 side of the through opening 11. This lower operation cable 42 passes through the hoistway 110 and connects to control devices such as those in the machine room. At this time, the lower operation cable 42 can be used as follows... Figure 3A As shown by the solid line in Figure 3, the cables 29, 30, and 42 can be led out to the landing box 15 at approximately the same position as the indicator cable 29 and the upper operation cable 30. Alternatively, as shown by the dashed line in Figure 3, they can be led out to the landing box 15 at a position slightly lower than the leading positions of the indicator cable 29 and the upper operation cable 30. In this case, the cables 29, 30, and 42 can be bundled near the mounting plate 50 using bundling devices and led out to a position opposite the box opening 17 of the landing box 15. In this case, it is easy to guide the cables together in a relatively long, straight line to the box opening 17 within the landing box 15. This facilitates efficient use of the space within the landing box 15.

[0063] According to the aforementioned floor station operating device 20, a lead-out opening 51 is provided on the mounting plate 50, extending vertically from a position corresponding to the floor station box 15 and higher than the uppermost end of the upper operating panel 22 to a position corresponding to the lower operating panel 41. Furthermore, the lower operating cable 42 of the lower operating panel 41 passes through the lead-out opening 51 and is led out to the floor station box 15. Therefore, without needing to open new wiring holes in the floor station wall 10, a lower operating panel 41 for wheelchair users can be installed below the indicator 24 and the upper operating panel 22.

[0064] Furthermore, by increasing the vertical length of the portion of the outlet opening 51 opposite the floor box 15, it is not necessary to cause the lower operation wiring 42 of the lower operation panel 41 to bend sharply near the upper end of the outlet opening 51 of the mounting plate 50. Additionally, it is not necessary to fit a guide member for guiding the lower operation wiring 42 of the lower operation panel 41 into the outlet opening 51. This reduces the need for an increase in the number of components and prevents damage to the wiring, while also simplifying the installation process. Furthermore, it increases the freedom of movement in handling the lower operation wiring 42, thereby also simplifying the installation process.

[0065] Furthermore, the lead-out opening 51 is formed to be elongated in the vertical direction, including the portion opposite to the housing hole 28 of the upper housing 25. Therefore, the indicator wiring 29, the upper operation wiring 30, and the lower operation wiring 42 that pass through the housing hole 28 can be easily bundled near the mounting plate 50 using bundling components or the like, while preventing damage to the wiring, and led out to a position opposite to the box opening 17 of the floor box 15.

[0066] Furthermore, the mounting plate 50 is made of resin and has a thickness of approximately 5 mm. This allows for a lightweight design of the mounting plate 50. Additionally, the thickness of the mounting plate 50 can be larger than the outer diameter of conventional wiring. Therefore, it is easier and smoother to perform operations such as providing a lead-out opening 51 on the mounting plate 50 and passing the lower operating wiring 42 upwards from the lower inner portion of the lead-out opening 51, and then leading the lower operating wiring 42 out through the lead-out opening 51. Furthermore, it prevents the mounting plate 50 from becoming excessively thick, thus reducing the overall thickness of the device, including the mounting plate 50, the indicator device 21, and the lower operating device 40, thereby improving the aesthetics of the design.

[0067] Figure 6 This refers to the comparative example of the floor station operating device 20a. Figure 3A The corresponding diagram. The floor station operating device 20a does not have a mounting plate 50 ( Figure 3A , Figure 3B , Figure 5 The indicator device 21 and the lower operating device 40 are directly fixed to the landing wall 10. In this comparative example, since there is no mounting plate with a lead-out opening for the lower operating cable 42 to pass through, a new wiring hole 116 needs to be opened in the landing wall 10 to guide the lower operating cable 42 to the hoistway. Therefore, opening the wiring hole 116 in the landing wall 10 is difficult and requires a lot of work, and the noise during construction may be a problem for residents. Figures 1-5 The implementation shown can prevent such adverse conditions.

[0068] Figure 7 This is another example of the implementation of the floor station operation device 20b. Figure 2 The corresponding diagram. Figure 8 This indicates the state of the station operating device 20b before the cover component 60 is installed. Figure 7 The diagram corresponding to the DD section. Figure 9 Observing from the surface Figure 8 Figure (a) shows the state with the mounting plate 50a removed and the functional expansion component 62 installed, and Figure (b) shows the state viewed from the side.

[0069] In this example structure, the vertical length La of the mounting plate 50a ( Figure 9 )Compare Figures 1-5 The illustrated embodiment is larger in this case. That is, the vertical length La of the mounting plate 50 is larger than the combined vertical length Lb of the upper housing 25 and the vertical length Lc of the lower housing 44 (Lb+Lc) (La>Lb+Lc). Furthermore, the upper housing 25 and the lower housing 44 are separately mounted to the surface of the mounting plate 50 in the vertical direction. Figure 7 , Figure 9 (a) the anterior side, Figure 8 , Figure 9 (b) to the left).

[0070] Furthermore, when directly observing the floor station operating device 20b from the surface, the mounting plate 50a and the lower operating wiring 42 are visible between the upper housing 25 and the lower housing 44. Therefore, in this example, a cover member 60 is embedded between the surface ends of the upper housing 25 and the lower housing 44 on the surface of the mounting plate 50a, thereby covering the space between the two housings 25 and 44. The cover member 60 is formed, for example, from resin or the like, into a cuboid or rectangular plate shape. Alternatively, the cover member 60 may also be a cuboid box shape formed from resin or the like, with an opening at the back end and a closed surface end. The cover member 60 may also be fixed to the mounting plate 50 by adhesive or the like.

[0071] Therefore, even when the height of the upper housing 25 varies depending on the floor level, corresponding to the height of the floor station box 15, and thus the vertical distance between the upper housing 25 and the lower housing 44 varies depending on the floor level, aesthetic deterioration can be suppressed, and the lower operation panel 41 can be easily installed on the floor station operation device 20b. In this case, only the vertical length of the mounting plate 50a needs to be changed, and a cover member 60 with a vertical length corresponding to the floor level can be used. Thus, the lower operation panel 41 can be installed at a position different from the upper operation panel 22 depending on the floor level. Furthermore, it is not necessary to change the size of the upper housing 25 and the lower housing 44 depending on the floor level.

[0072] And, as Figure 8 , Figure 9 As shown in (b), in this example, locking plates protruding toward the back are provided at two locations on the back of the mounting plate 50a, separated in the vertical direction. Specifically, fittings 64 with an approximately L-shaped cross-section are fixed at two locations on the back of the mounting plate 50a, separated in the vertical direction. Fittings 64 have: a fixing plate portion 65, which is fixed along the mounting plate 50a; and a locking plate portion 66, which is bent at approximately a right angle from one end of the fixing plate portion 65 in the vertical direction and extends toward the back.

[0073] The fitting 64 is fixed to the mounting plate 50a by threading the fixing plate portion 65 onto two vertically separated positions on the back of the mounting plate 50a. In this state, the locking plate portions 66 of the two fittings 64 protrude backward from opposite ends separated in the vertical direction. Furthermore, the vertical length between the upper end of the upper fitting 64 and the lower end of the lower fitting 64 is approximately the same as the vertical length of the opening of the landing box 15. The back of the mounting plate 50 is pressed against the landing wall 10, and the two fittings 64 are inserted into the upper and lower positions on the inner surface of the opening end of the landing box 15, thereby locking the locking plate portions 66 onto the inner surface of the landing box 15. Thus, the mounting plate 50a is fixed to the landing box 15.

[0074] For example, before the mounting plate 50a is inserted into the floor station box 15, the locking plate portions 66 of the two fittings 64 fixed to the mounting plate 50a can be bent in a way that widens towards their ends at a distance from each other. In this state, while elastically reducing the distance between the back ends of the locking plate portions 66 of the two fittings 64, the two locking plate portions 66 are pressed into the inner surface of the open end of the floor station box 15, thereby fixing the mounting plate 50a to the floor station box 15 by the elastic force of the fittings 64.

[0075] Therefore, compared to a structure where the mounting plate is fixed to the landing box 15 via a threaded connection, it is easier to fix the mounting plate 50a to the landing wall 10. Furthermore, the locking plate portion can also be a resin-made plate portion integrally formed with the mounting plate and protruding towards the back. Additionally, although not shown in the figure, it can also be configured such that two locking plate portions protruding towards the back are provided at two separate locations in the left-right direction on the back side of the mounting plate 50, each locking plate portion locking into both ends in the left-right direction of the inner surface of the opening end of the landing box 15.

[0076] And, as Figure 9 As shown, a functional expansion component 62 is mounted on the back side of the mounting plate 50a via a threaded connection or the like. Figure 8The illustration of the functional expansion component is omitted. The functional expansion component 62 is, for example, a speaker, connected via wiring to a control device located in the machine room, etc. The speaker outputs sound or voice messages to users near the landing station to notify them of the car's arrival or to detect abnormalities, according to output command signals from the control device. The functional expansion component 62 can be any component used to expand the functionality of the landing station operating device 20; it is not limited to a speaker, but can also be a speaker and a base plate, or just a base plate. The functional expansion component 62 is disposed within the landing station box 15. Thus, by installing the functional expansion component 62 on the back side of the mounting plate 50, the functionality of the landing station operating device 20b can be expanded without installing the functional expansion component on the inner surface of the upper housing 25 fixed to the landing station wall 10 or the landing station box 15. This prevents the thickness of the upper housing 25 from increasing and eliminates the need for difficult component installation on the landing station box 15. In this example, other structures and functions are similar to... Figures 1-5 The structures are the same.

[0077] Figure 10 This indicates three states in the floor station operating device 20c of another embodiment where the mounting position of the lower operating device 40a relative to the mounting plate 50b is different. In this example, compared with... Figures 7-9 Similarly, the vertical length of the mounting plate 50b is greater than the combined vertical length (La+Lb) of the upper housing 25 and the lower housing 44a.

[0078] Furthermore, on the surface of the mounting plate 50b, there are multiple lower housing mounting positions at different distances from the upper housing 25, located below the upper housing 25. The lower housing 44a is mounted at a portion of these mounting positions. Specifically, screw through holes are provided at both ends of the base component of the lower housing 44a in the left-right direction. The base component is mounted to the mounting plate 50b by threading screws through the screw through holes into the threaded holes of the mounting plate 50b. At this time, in the mounting plate 50b, there are more threaded holes 56 at both ends in the left-right direction below the mounting surface of the upper housing 25 than the number of screw through holes 68 in the base component of the lower housing 44a.

[0079] exist Figure 10 In the diagram, the dashed circle represents the threaded hole 56 on the mounting plate 50b side. Additionally, the solid circle with an "X" marked on the inside represents the screw through hole 68 of the base component of the lower housing 44a. Since the screw through hole 68 is located on the base component, it is not actually visible from the surface of the lower housing 44a. Therefore, the lower housing 44a is mounted at a portion of several mounting positions on the surface of the mounting plate 50b, at locations lower than and at different distances from the upper housing 25. Figure 10In (a), the lower housing 44a is installed at the lowest end of the mounting plate 50b. Figure 10 In (b), the lower housing 44a is mounted on the mounting plate 50b, close to the lower end of the upper housing 25. Figure 10 In (c), on mounting plate 50b, in Figure 10 The lower housing 44a is installed at the middle position between (a) and (b).

[0080] Additionally, on the surface side of the mounting plate 50b, one or both of the portions between the surface ends of the upper housing 25 and the lower housing 44a, and the portions protruding downwards from the lower end of the lower housing 44a, are covered by a cover component. For example, in Figure 10 In (a), on the surface side of the mounting plate 50, the area between the surface ends of the upper housing 25 and the lower housing 44 is covered by a cover component. The structure of the cover component and its installation relative to the mounting plate 50... Figure 7 , Figure 8 The structures shown are the same.

[0081] exist Figure 10 In (b), on the surface of the mounting plate 50b, one or both of the portions protruding downwards from the lower end of the lower housing 44 are covered by cover components 60, 60a, 60b. Figure 10 In (c), on the surface of the mounting plate 50b, both the area between the surface ends of the upper housing 25 and the lower housing 44a, and the portion protruding downwards from the lower end of the lower housing 44a, are covered by two cover components 60a and 60b. The structure of the two cover components 60a and 60b is similar to that in... Figure 10 The cover component 60 used in (a) and (b) has the same structure except for the difference in length in the vertical direction.

[0082] According to the structure of this example, the deterioration of aesthetics can be suppressed, and the lower operating panel 41 can be easily set at different distances from the upper operating panel 22 depending on the floor level. In this case, it is not necessary to change the size of the upper housing 25, the lower housing 44a, and the mounting plate 50b. Furthermore, it is also possible to configure the mounting plate 50b to have only Figure 10 The lower housing 44a is installed at one of the two lower housing mounting locations selected from only the two lower housing mounting locations, as shown in (a) and (b). In this example, other structural and functional aspects are similar to... Figures 1-5 structure or Figures 7-9 The structures are the same.

[0083] Furthermore, in the above-described embodiment, the lower operation wiring, upper operation wiring, and indicator wiring are described as passing through the lead-out openings 51 provided on the mounting plates 50, 50a, and 50b to reach the landing box 15. Alternatively, the mounting plate may have a second lead-out opening for the upper operation wiring and indicator wiring, separate from the first lead-out opening for the lower operation wiring. In this case, by setting the first lead-out opening to extend lengthwise in the vertical direction from a position corresponding to the landing box 15 and higher than the uppermost end of the upper operation panel to a position corresponding to the lower operation panel, it is possible to suppress the increase in the number of components, prevent damage to the wiring, and facilitate construction operations.
