Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of building renovation technology, and in particular to a method for installing elevators in existing residential buildings. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, many buildings in my country were constructed in the 1980s and 90s. Due to the economic limitations of that time, these buildings had simple functions and most did not have elevators. Therefore, getting up and down stairs has become a pressing issue for residents of these older communities. With the accelerating aging of the population, my country is gradually entering an aging society. Installing elevators in older residential buildings has become a pressing issue affecting people's livelihoods. In recent years, the government has provided strong support, and many localities have issued corresponding regulations on adding elevators to existing residential buildings. There is an urgent need for an elevator design for older buildings that minimizes the use of public space in front of the building and reduces the impact on the lighting of first-floor and lower-floor residents, alleviating concerns for first-floor residents and increasing the rate of elevator installation in older buildings.

[0003] Existing technologies, such as CN115924685A, describe a method for retrofitting elevators in old residential communities. The method is characterized by: an external elevator installed on the wall of a half-floor unit. The elevator includes a hoist frame installed on a foundation pit and a machine room installed on the hoist frame. A safety chamber is fixedly connected to the hoist frame, and the elevator car is slidably fitted into the safety chamber. Several sliding parts are provided between the safety chamber and the car.

[0004] The existing technology involves setting up an entrance halfway up the stairs, which does not completely solve the problem of inconvenience for elderly residents, especially those with mobility issues, leading to certain limitations and inconveniences in its use. Therefore, improvements are needed. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problem of limited space in old buildings that prevents the installation of elevators, and to completely solve the problem of inconvenience for elderly residents, especially those with mobility difficulties, in accessing and exiting the buildings. This invention proposes a method for adding elevators to existing residential buildings.

[0006] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a method for retrofitting elevators in existing residential buildings is provided. The method includes: constructing a connecting corridor outside the north wall of the apartment; installing an external elevator in the middle of the north side of the corridor; and constructing north-facing viewing balconies on the east and west sides of the corridor, respectively; and converting the north-facing windows of the existing residential building into entrance doors. By constructing a connecting corridor, multiple units can be equipped with only one elevator, greatly reducing the cost of installing an external elevator; by constructing an external elevator, it facilitates access for residents, especially elderly and residents with mobility difficulties; and by constructing viewing balconies, it increases the usable area for residents on the east and west sides. It is economical, convenient, and practical.

[0007] This invention is achieved in the following ways: By setting up connecting corridors, multiple units can be equipped with only one elevator, which greatly reduces the cost of installing external elevators; residents can enter their homes on the same floor, completely solving the problem of inconvenience for elderly residents, especially those with mobility difficulties.

[0008] By installing an external elevator, located in the middle of the north side of the connecting corridor, with the elevator entrance on the storage room floor and directly opposite the original residential unit door, the valuable public space between buildings is minimized, and fire lanes and parking spaces are avoided.

[0009] By adding viewing balconies, the usable area of ​​residents in the East and West Hills areas has been increased. The two ends of the newly added connecting corridor are designed as north-facing viewing balconies for residents in the East and West Hills areas, and the entrance doors for residents in the East and West Hills areas are located at both ends of the connecting corridor. The north-facing windows of the original residences have been converted into entrance doors, and the north-facing windows of the residents in the East and West Hills areas have been converted into archways, which are connected to the viewing balconies. Attached Figure Description Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the present invention. In the diagram: 1 represents a connecting corridor; 2 is an external elevator; 3 is a viewing balcony; 4 is the entrance door.
