[0002] Observation elevators, a beautiful feature of modern architecture, are characterized by their electric motor-driven vertical lift and unique transparent design. These elevators feature a box-shaped pod with at least one side of the hoistway and cabin walls constructed of transparent material, allowing passengers to fully appreciate the surrounding scenery while ascending and descending, greatly enriching the riding experience. With the acceleration of urbanization and the improvement of people's quality of life, observation elevators are gradually spreading from high-end venues such as hotels, shopping malls, and high-rise office buildings to more public spaces, becoming a vital element connecting the interior and exterior of buildings and showcasing the city's landscape.
[0003] However, while observation elevators have contributed significantly to enhancing a city's image and user experience, their shortcomings in emergency safety are becoming increasingly apparent. Faced with emergencies such as sudden breakdowns and power outages, traditional observation elevators are unable to evacuate and rescue passengers. Because most observation elevators are not designed with adequate emergency rescue routes or staircases in mind, passengers are often left waiting in a passive state when an elevator becomes stuck or malfunctions, while rescue efforts rely on complex and time-consuming external operations, such as manual rescue through narrow elevator shafts or external demolition with heavy equipment. These methods are not only inefficient, but can also exacerbate passenger panic and pose significant safety risks.
[0004] Therefore, we propose an outdoor sightseeing elevator safety escape passage to solve the above technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0022] The following will be combined with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0023] Example 1:
[0024] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 The present embodiment provides an outdoor sightseeing elevator safety escape passage, comprising an outdoor elevator shaft 1, an outdoor elevator car 2 and an external escape ladder assembly, wherein the outdoor elevator car 2 is located in the outdoor elevator shaft 1, and the external escape ladder assembly is connected to the side outside the outdoor elevator shaft 1. The outdoor parts of the outdoor elevator shaft 1 and the outdoor elevator car 2 are both made of glass, and the external escape ladder assembly comprises an outdoor double-tread staircase and a supporting column 3. The platform on the side of the outdoor double-tread staircase close to the outdoor elevator shaft 1 is fixedly connected to the outdoor elevator shaft 1, and the platform on the side away from the outdoor elevator shaft 1 is connected to the supporting column 3, and the supporting column 3 stands vertically above the ground.
[0025] The above-described outdoor sightseeing elevator safety escape passage is designed by directly attaching an external escape ladder assembly to the outside of the outdoor elevator shaft 1. During daily use, passengers enter the outdoor elevator car 2 as usual and, using the motor-driven vertical lift function, ascend and descend as the outdoor elevator car 2 rises and falls, enjoying the sightseeing experience. In the event of an emergency such as a jam, malfunction, or power outage in the outdoor elevator car 2, passengers inside the elevator car can quickly and effectively break the glass between the outdoor elevator car 2 and the outdoor elevator shaft 1 using the equipped emergency hammer to gain access. Through the opening formed between the elevator car and the outdoor elevator shaft 1, passengers inside can escape to the platform where the outdoor double-tread staircase connects to the outdoor elevator shaft 1, descending the outdoor double-tread staircase to a safe area on the ground level, completing their evacuation. Compared to traditional rescue methods, this outdoor sightseeing elevator safety escape passage significantly shortens passenger evacuation time in emergencies by directly attaching the external escape ladder assembly to the outside of the outdoor elevator shaft 1. At the same time, passengers can save themselves by breaking the glass on their own, effectively avoiding the time-consuming waiting and complicated external operations that may exist in traditional rescue, thereby significantly improving the efficiency and safety of emergency response.
[0026] In this embodiment, the outdoor double-tread staircase and the supporting columns 3 are both made of alloy steel.
[0027] The outdoor double-tread staircase and support column 3 made of alloy steel have high strength and hardness, and can withstand large loads and impacts, ensuring that the outdoor double-tread staircase and support column 3 can maintain structural stability and integrity during long-term use. This allows the escape route to maintain its functionality in severe weather, human damage or other unexpected situations, providing passengers with a reliable escape route. In addition, it is more convenient during daily maintenance and care. Although the initial manufacturing cost of alloy steel may be high, its excellent durability and recyclability make this material advantageous in terms of environmental protection and sustainability. Through reasonable use and maintenance, the waste of resources and environmental pollution can be reduced.
[0028] In this embodiment, see Figure 1 The outdoor double-tread staircase includes a connecting platform 4, an intermediate platform 5 and an escalator 6. The connecting platform 4 is arranged at intervals on the outside of the outdoor elevator shaft 1, and the intermediate platform 5 is fixedly mounted and arranged at intervals on the supporting column 3. The connecting platform 4 and the intermediate platform 5 are staggered from bottom to top and are connected in sequence by the escalator 6.
[0029] The connecting platforms 4 and the intermediate platforms 5 are arranged in a staggered pattern from bottom to top and are securely connected by escalators 6. This design allows passengers to move more smoothly during the escape process. In an emergency, passengers can evacuate quickly along this path. Furthermore, the connecting platforms 4 and the intermediate platforms 5 provide passengers with multiple emergency shelters. In the event of an emergency or physical discomfort, passengers can quickly move to the nearest platform to await rescue or take a short rest. This effectively alleviates the physical exhaustion and psychological stress that can result from continuous movement, and reduces the safety risks associated with prolonged movement.
[0030] In this embodiment, see Figure 1 The outer edges of the overlapping platform 4, the intermediate platform 5 and the escalator 6 are all equipped with handrails 7.
[0031] The design of Handrail 7 is undoubtedly crucial. It not only provides passengers with practical physical support but also builds a psychological barrier of safety, giving them a sense of stability and peace of mind. This dual protection is particularly important during emergency escapes, effectively helping passengers maintain their balance, reducing the risk of accidents caused by panic, and ensuring an efficient and orderly evacuation. Therefore, the presence of Handrail 7 significantly enhances the overall safety of the escape route, providing indispensable support and assurance for passengers' safe evacuation.
[0032] In this embodiment, see Figure 1 The outdoor elevator shaft 1 is provided with a canopy 12 above one side of the external escape ladder assembly.
[0033] The canopy 12 can effectively block rain, snow and other natural precipitation, reducing the impact of bad weather on the escape route. This ensures that passengers can use the escape route smoothly even on rainy or snowy days without worrying about the slippery problem caused by weather conditions, thereby improving escape safety.
[0034] Example 2:
[0035] This embodiment is obtained by further optimizing the embodiment 1. Figure 1 and Figure 2 In this embodiment, ladders 8 are connected between adjacent overlapping platforms 4.
[0036] By providing ladders 8, even if the specific location of a fault in the outdoor elevator car 2 does not directly correspond to a landing platform 4, in an emergency, after breaking the glass, passengers inside can still use these stable ladders 8 as an escape route, safely and orderly descending to the nearest landing platform 4, and then evacuating to a safe area via escalators 6. This design fully considers the diversity and unpredictability of emergency situations, providing passengers with flexible and reliable escape options, thereby greatly enhancing the overall safety and practicality of the escape route.
[0037] In this embodiment, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 A guard cage 9 is provided on the outside of the ladder 8 , and a plurality of entrances 10 are spaced apart on the side of the guard cage 9 facing the outdoor elevator shaft 1 .
[0038] By providing the guard cage 9, during emergency escape, passengers may lose their balance due to tension or panic. The presence of the guard cage 9 provides passengers with an additional safety barrier and psychological guarantee, ensuring their safety during the climbing process and effectively reducing the risk of passengers accidentally falling while climbing the ladder 8.
[0039] In this embodiment, see Figure 2 A platform plate 11 is provided between the entrance 10 and the outside of the outdoor elevator shaft 1 .
[0040] The platform board 11 provides a stable standing area for passengers before they enter the cage 9 from the entrance 10 and climb the ladder 8, which helps passengers maintain balance in an emergency and avoids accidental slips or falls caused by directly stepping onto the ladder 8, thereby enhancing the safety of the escape route.
