Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of elevator equipment technology, specifically to a button housing, an elevator button, and an elevator operating device. Background Technology

[0002] In modern architectural design, to maximize space utilization efficiency, reduce material consumption, and promote environmental protection, elevator design trends increasingly favor simplicity, compactness, and space conservation. The elevator control panel and call system are typically cleverly integrated into the building interface of the elevator car and waiting area, becoming a crucial bridge connecting passengers and elevator service. This design not only concerns aesthetics and practicality but also has a profound impact on the overall structural layout, sizing, and energy management of the elevator.

[0003] Elevator buttons, as a key component of human-computer interaction, are complex in structure and diverse in function, typically consisting of a button housing, precision electronic and electrical components, and an intuitive and easy-to-use button panel. The button housing plays a crucial role; it not only houses these complex components but also acts as an isolation barrier between the elevator button and the external environment, ensuring that the internal components are protected from damage.

[0004] However, traditional button installation methods often rely on the button body being directly embedded into the control panel. With the increase of usage time, even slight deformation of the panel may cause the button to respond slowly or even fail. Excessive force may directly damage the button structure. Some buttons have a mounting bracket in the middle of the shell thickness direction for installation. The protruding structures on both sides of the mounting bracket not only occupy the installation space but also limit the flexibility of operation, causing unnecessary trouble for installation and maintenance. Utility Model Content

[0005] Therefore, in order to solve the problems of traditional button installation methods occupying installation space, limiting operational flexibility, and causing unnecessary trouble for installation and maintenance, one of the objectives of this utility model is to provide a button housing, the specific technical solution of which is as follows:

[0006] A button housing includes a mounting bracket and a receiving step, the receiving step being fixedly connected to one side of the mounting bracket, the receiving step including a process step and a mating step, one end of the process step being fixedly connected to the mounting bracket, and the mating step being fixedly connected to the end of the process step away from the mounting bracket.

[0007] Furthermore, the height of the process step is greater than the height of the mating step.

[0008] Furthermore, the radius of the process step is larger than the radius of the mating step.

[0009] Furthermore, the mounting bracket is provided with a plurality of mounting holes for fixing the position of the mounting bracket.

[0010] Furthermore, the mounting bracket is provided with four mounting holes, which are respectively located at the four top corners of the mounting bracket.

[0011] Furthermore, the mounting bracket and the receiving step are integrally formed structures.

[0012] Another objective of this utility model is to provide an elevator button, including a control component, a button panel, and a button housing as described above. The control component and the button panel are disposed within the receiving step. The control component is fixedly connected to the mounting bracket, and the button panel is connected to the control component.

[0013] Another objective of this utility model is to provide an elevator operating device, including an operating panel, a mounting bracket, and the aforementioned elevator buttons. The operating panel is provided with button receiving holes, the elevator buttons are fixedly connected to the mounting bracket, and the mating step enters the button receiving holes and abuts against the operating panel.

[0014] Furthermore, the button panel and the operation panel are positioned on the same horizontal plane.

[0015] Furthermore, the mounting bracket, the operation panel, and the process steps together enclose a process space.

[0016] Compared to existing technologies, the advantages of this invention are as follows: By placing the mounting bracket at the bottom of the button housing and providing a receiving step only on one side of the mounting bracket, the installation space is greatly saved, avoiding the limitations on operational flexibility imposed by the protruding structures on both sides of the mounting bracket in traditional designs. The process step is used for the process operation of fixing the button housing, improving the convenience of button housing installation; the mating step is used to achieve a tight fit with the elevator operating device, ensuring the stability of the button under force. By setting two layers of steps, both the fit with the elevator operating device is guaranteed, and the process operation of fixing the button to the elevator operating device is facilitated, improving the convenience of button housing installation. The button housing of this invention, by optimizing the connection method between the mounting bracket and the receiving step, effectively reduces the installation space occupied, makes the entire button housing bear force evenly, ensures reliable installation, saves materials, helps reduce manufacturing costs, and enhances technical value.

[0027] In this utility model, "first" and "second" do not represent a specific quantity or order, but are merely used to distinguish names.

[0028] like Figures 1-2As shown, a button housing in one embodiment of this utility model includes a mounting bracket 1 and a receiving step 2. The receiving step 2 is fixedly connected to one side of the mounting bracket 1. The receiving step 2 includes a process step 21 and a mating step 22. One end of the process step 21 is fixedly connected to the mounting bracket 1, and the mating step 22 is fixedly connected to the end of the process step 21 away from the mounting bracket 1. By setting the mounting bracket 1 at the bottom of the button housing and only providing the receiving step 2 on one side of the mounting bracket 1, installation space is greatly saved, and the limitation on operational flexibility caused by the protruding structures on both sides of the mounting bracket 1 in traditional designs is avoided. The process step 21 is used for the process operation when fixing the button housing, improving the convenience of button housing installation; the mating step 22 is used to achieve a tight fit with the elevator operating device, ensuring the stability of the button under force. By setting two steps, both the fit with the elevator operating device and the process operation when fixing the button to the elevator operating device are guaranteed, improving the convenience of button housing installation.

[0029] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, it may also have the following additional technical features: the height of the process step 21 is greater than the height of the mating step 22. The higher process step 21 provides a larger contact area and stronger support for the connection between the button housing and the elevator operating device. This helps reduce loosening or damage caused by vibration or external forces, thereby improving the reliability and durability of the button. During installation, the higher process step 21 makes it easier for workers to access the fasteners (such as bolts, nuts, etc.) for installation and tightening operations. Similarly, when disassembly or maintenance is required, the higher process step 21 also provides more operating space, facilitating disassembly work.

[0030] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, it may also have the following additional technical features: the radius of the process step 21 is larger than the radius of the mating step 22. A larger radius of the process step 21 provides better mechanical support, enhances the strength of the connection between the button housing and the elevator operating device, helps reduce damage caused by concentrated stress, and improves the overall durability and reliability of the button housing.

[0031] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, it may also have the following additional technical features: the mounting bracket 1 is provided with a plurality of mounting holes 11 for fixing the position of the mounting bracket 1. In this embodiment, the mounting bracket 1 is fixed by passing mounting bolts through each mounting hole 11.

[0032] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, it may also have the following additional technical features: the mounting bracket 1 is provided with four mounting holes 11, which are respectively located at the four apex corners of the mounting bracket 1. This forms a stable quadrilateral structure, which can provide stronger support and ensure that the button housing will not deform or shift due to uneven force during installation, thereby improving the stability of the overall structure.

[0033] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, it may also have the following additional technical features: the mounting bracket 1 and the receiving step 2 are integrally molded structures. This makes the entire button housing more robust and durable, able to withstand greater external forces and pressures, improves the overall structural strength and stability, reduces assembly steps and the number of required parts, helps to reduce production costs, improve production efficiency, and reduce quality problems caused by improper assembly.

[0034] Please see Figure 3 This embodiment also provides an elevator button, including a control component (not shown in the figure), a button panel 3, and a button housing as described above. The control component and the button panel 3 are disposed within the receiving step 2. The control component is fixedly connected to the mounting bracket 1, and the button panel 3 is connected to the control component. This reduces the size of the elevator button embedded in the elevator operating device, which helps save building area. At the same time, the force on the elevator button is entirely applied to the mounting bracket 1, ensuring flexible and reliable response during button operation.

[0035] Please see Figure 4 This embodiment also provides an elevator operating device, including an operating panel 4, a mounting bracket 5, and the aforementioned elevator buttons. The operating panel 4 is provided with button receiving holes, and the elevator buttons are fixedly connected to the mounting bracket 5. A step 22 is inserted into the button receiving hole and abuts against the operating panel 4. The two steps on the mounting bracket 1 ensure both proper fit with the operating panel 4 and facilitate the process of fixing the buttons to the mounting bracket 5, improving the ease of button housing installation. In this embodiment, the mounting bracket 1 and the mounting bracket 5 are fixed together by mounting bolts. The elevator operating device includes, but is not limited to, an elevator operating panel; it is not limited to this form but is also applicable to other similar or related elevator operating devices or components.

[0036] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, it may also have the following additional technical features: the button panel 3 and the operation panel 4 are arranged on the same horizontal plane. This makes the overall design of the elevator operation device more compact, reduces the space occupied by the device, improves space utilization, and enhances the overall aesthetics of the device.

[0037] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, it may also have the following additional technical features: the mounting bracket 5, the operation panel 4 and the process step 21 enclose a process space, which facilitates the installation personnel to perform operations such as fixing buttons and wiring in this space.

[0038] The button housing in this embodiment has a reasonable structural design and is easy to use. This structure can also be used for other devices with similar usage requirements. In this embodiment, the button housing effectively reduces the space occupied by optimizing the connection between the mounting bracket 1 and the accommodating step 2, making the entire button housing evenly stressed, reliable in installation, saving materials, reducing manufacturing costs, and enhancing technical value.

[0039] In the description of the above embodiments, greater than, less than, and more than are understood to exclude the number itself, several and more mean one or more, and above, below, and within are understood to include the number itself.
