Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a curtain device, and more particularly to an automatic curtain device used on a sightseeing elevator. Background Technology

[0002] Existing outdoor sightseeing elevators typically feature glass windows on the side and rear car walls, as well as the front car wall. These windows are completely exposed to sunlight without any obstructions. When the outside light is strong, this can be glaring and potentially cause eye strain. Furthermore, in hot summer conditions, the interior temperature of the elevator becomes very high, and even with air conditioning and fans, it is difficult to effectively reduce the temperature inside the car. Additionally, prolonged high-power operation of the air conditioning or fans leads to excessive energy consumption.

[0003] To address the aforementioned issues, some existing sightseeing elevators have incorporated curtains inside the elevator to cover the viewing glass. For example, CN204198189U discloses a sightseeing elevator with curtains, which states that "replaceable curtains are provided on the inner sides of the pair of side walls and the rear wall." However, the curtains in this document cannot be easily stored and are directly exposed, affecting not only aesthetics but also shortening their lifespan due to prolonged exposure to sunlight and external environmental factors. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an automatic curtain device for use on sightseeing elevators. This invention features the ability to conceal and store curtains.

[0005] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows: An automatic curtain device used on a sightseeing elevator includes a track installed along the edge of the car top, on which an automatic curtain for covering the sightseeing glass of the car is provided; the interior of the front wall of the car is provided with a hidden space for storing the automatic curtain, and the inner side of the front wall is provided with an opening for the track and the automatic curtain to pass through, the opening communicating with the hidden space, and one end of the track extending into the hidden space.

[0006] In the aforementioned automatic curtain device used on a sightseeing elevator, the track is U-shaped and corresponds to the side walls and rear wall of the elevator car, respectively.

[0007] In the aforementioned automatic curtain device used on a sightseeing elevator, the automatic curtain includes a controller and a transmission box installed at one end of the track and located above a hidden space. The transmission box is equipped with a drive motor located in the hidden space. The drive motor is electrically connected to the controller. An annular conveyor belt connected to the transmission box is installed in the hollow cavity of the track. A trolley is fixedly installed on the annular conveyor belt. A pulley is slidably connected to the track's groove. Curtains are suspended on the trolley and the pulley.

[0008] In the aforementioned automatic curtain device used on a sightseeing elevator, the curtain is an integrated curtain.

[0009] The aforementioned automatic curtain device used on a sightseeing elevator also includes a light sensor installed on the lintel, which is electrically connected to the automatic curtain.

[0010] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0011] This invention features a track on the elevator car roof with an automatic curtain installed on it. The curtain can be moved to any position on the track as needed to block the viewing glass of the elevator car, thus providing shade and cooling. When the automatic curtain is used in conjunction with a fan or air conditioner, it can better reduce the temperature inside the car and reduce the long-term full-load operation of the fan or air conditioner, ensuring passenger comfort and reducing energy consumption. Furthermore, the automatic curtain device occupies little space, and when not in use, the curtain can be stored in a hidden space on the front wall to prevent it from being exposed, thus not affecting the passenger's visual experience and riding comfort, while also extending the service life of the automatic curtain.

[0012] Therefore, this utility model has the feature of being able to conceal and store curtains. Attached Figure Description

[0016] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments, but this should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0017] In the description of this utility model, it should also be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "set," "install," "connect," and "link" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, a hinged connection, a rotating connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, or a connection within two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.

[0018] Example:

[0019] like Figures 1-2 As shown, an automatic curtain device used on a sightseeing elevator includes a track 2 installed along the edge of the car top 1, and an automatic curtain for covering the sightseeing glass of the car is provided on the track 2; a hidden space 31 for storing the automatic curtain is provided inside the front wall 3 of the car, and an opening 32 for the track 2 and the automatic curtain to pass through is provided on the inner side of the front wall 3. The opening 32 is connected to the hidden space 31, and one end of the track 2 extends into the hidden space 31.

[0020] This utility model features a track 2 installed on the car top 1, with an automatic curtain mounted on the track 2. The curtain can be moved to any position on the track 2 according to actual needs, blocking the viewing glass of the car and providing sunshade and cooling for the elevator. When the automatic curtain is used in conjunction with a fan or air conditioner, it can better reduce the temperature inside the car and reduce the long-term full-load operation of the fan or air conditioner, ensuring passenger comfort and reducing energy consumption. Furthermore, the automatic curtain device occupies little space, and when not in use, the curtain can be stored in the hidden space 31 on the front wall 3 to prevent it from being exposed, thus not affecting the passenger's visual experience and riding comfort, while also extending the service life of the automatic curtain.

[0021] The track 2 is U-shaped and corresponds to the side walls and rear wall of the car. The U-shaped track 2, in conjunction with automatic curtains, can cover the viewing windows on three sides of the car at once, offering convenient operation and a large coverage area. The corners of the U-shaped track 2 are curved.

[0022] The automatic curtain includes a controller and a transmission box 21 installed at one end of a track 2 and located above a hidden space 31. The transmission box 21 has a drive motor 22 located within the hidden space 31, which is electrically connected to the controller. A circular conveyor belt 23, which is connected to the transmission box 21, is located within the hollow cavity of the track 2. A trolley 24 is fixedly installed on the circular conveyor belt 23. A pulley 25 is slidably connected to the track 2 between the trolley 24 and the transmission box 21. Curtains are suspended from the trolley 24 and pulley 25. When the automatic curtain is in operation, the drive motor 22 starts the transmission box 21, which in turn drives the circular conveyor belt 23, thereby moving the curtain along the track 2 via the trolley 24 and pulley 25, thus opening and closing the curtain. According to existing technology, the automatic curtain can be controlled by various means, such as remote control or mobile app control. The curtain is an integrated unit.

[0023] When the automatic curtains of this invention are retracted, driven by the drive motor 22, the curtains move along the slide rail from the opening 32 into the hidden space 31. At this time, the overall car wall is basically the same as that of a regular car. When the automatic curtains are needed to cover the car, driven by the drive motor 22, the curtains move along the slide rail from the opening 32 out of the hidden space 31 to the designated position, achieving the effect of sunshade.

[0024] This utility model also includes a light sensor 41 installed on the lintel 4, which is electrically connected to the automatic curtain. The light sensor 41 is used to sense the intensity of light and send the sensed information to the controller. The controller compares the detected light intensity value with a preset light intensity value. If the detected value is higher than the preset value, the controller controls the drive motor 22 to open the curtain; if the detected value is lower than the preset value, the controller controls the drive motor 22 to close the curtain, thereby realizing the automatic adjustment of the curtain opening and closing.

[0025] The parts of this utility model not described in detail are existing technologies and therefore will not be specifically described here.
