Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of elevators, in particular to an environment-friendly sightseeing elevator. Background Technique

[0002] A sightseeing elevator refers to an elevator in which at least one side of the hoistway and the car wall is transparent, and passengers can view the scenery outside the car.

[0003] In order to improve the environmental protection effect of sightseeing elevators, many improvements have been made to sightseeing elevators in the prior art. For example, the patent with the patent publication number CN214591261U discloses an energy-saving and environmental protection sightseeing elevator, including a main body and a solar panel. Two sliding rings are symmetrically and fixedly installed on the main body. Both sliding rings are three-quarter circular ring blocks. The solar panel is movably clamped between the two sliding rings. A moving groove is opened on the upper wall surface of the main body corresponding to the position of the solar panel. In this utility model, when in use, the electric telescopic rod extends to push the moving column to slide inside the moving groove. The moving column drives the extrusion column to move, and the extrusion column drives the limiting block to slide inside the limiting groove. By the extrusion of the extrusion column, the solar panel is pushed to slide inside the two sliding grooves to change the inclination angle, so as to change the inclination direction of the solar panel with the passage of time periods, ensuring that the solar panel always maintains the best lighting position, greatly improving the power generation efficiency of the solar panel.

[0004] The above patent has obvious beneficial effects, but there are still the following deficiencies in actual operation:

However, in the prior art, the installation orientations of elevators are different, resulting in the fact that the solar panel may not be at the best irradiation angle when sliding on the sliding ring, reducing the absorption effect of sunlight, and further reducing the environmental protection effect of the sightseeing elevator. If the angle of the solar panel needs to be changed, the position of the sliding ring must be changed, and for each building, the corresponding sliding ring needs to be adjusted and installed according to the installation position and orientation of the sightseeing elevator, increasing the labor intensity of the installation personnel. Therefore, there is an urgent need in the field to improve the environment-friendly sightseeing elevator to solve the defects of the prior art. Content of the Utility Model
