[0031] An elevator car is a transportation device that moves along at least two rigid tracks perpendicular to the horizontal plane or at an angle of inclination less than 15° to the vertical. The elevator car carries passengers or goods and moves up and down between designated floors to transport passengers or goods to the target floor. Some elevator cars do not have handrails. Some cars have horizontally arranged rod-like structures installed as handrails, but these are of a simple design.

[0032] Figure 1 A perspective view of an elevator car according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown schematically. Figure 2 A perspective view of the control panel according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown schematically. Figure 3 A schematic side view of the control panel according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown.

[0033] The first aspect of this utility model proposes an elevator car, such as... Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the elevator car includes a car body 1 and an operating panel 2. The car body 1 is provided with a space 12 for carrying passengers or goods. The operating panel 2 includes an operation section 21 for inputting floor information and a display section 22 for displaying information. The operating panel 2 is disposed on the side wall of the car body 1 and protrudes into the space 12 of the car body 1, forming a protrusion protruding from the side wall of the car body 1 to serve as a handrail.

[0034] In detail, such as Figure 1 As shown, the car body 1 forms a box structure, and the interior of the car body 1 forms a receiving space 12 to accommodate and carry passengers or goods. The car body 1 moves up and down within the elevator shaft to achieve the function of vertical transportation. It is understood that the car body 1 is provided with entrances and exits for passengers or goods to enter and exit. The entrances and exits are provided with car doors to open or close the entrances and exits.

[0035] The control panel 2 is the main interface for passengers to interact with the elevator control system and is an important component of the elevator car. The control panel 2 includes an operation unit 21 for inputting floor information and a display unit 22 for displaying information.

[0036] It should be noted that, as Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the operation unit 21 represents the main component for passengers to interact with the elevator control system, and is used for passengers to select a target floor, control the opening or closing of the doors, issue alarms, etc. The operation unit 21 can be buttons labeled with numbers or letters for different floors, door opening buttons, door closing buttons, etc.

[0037] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the display unit 22 can display information such as the floor level, direction of travel, and projected video, depending on actual needs. The projected video can be a building introduction, advertising video, safety promotional video, etc., and is not limited here. The display unit 22 can be an LCD screen, a light-emitting diode screen, a touch screen, etc.

[0038] like Figure 1 As shown, the control panel 2 is disposed on the side wall of the compartment 1. The control panel 2 protrudes into the receiving space 12 of the compartment 1, forming a protrusion protruding from the side wall of the compartment 1, thus serving as a handrail. Specifically, the protrusion of the control panel 2 and the side wall of the compartment 1 form a stepped structure, allowing passengers to support the control panel 2 and providing upward support. The control panel 2 protruding into the receiving space 12 of the compartment 1 may also have a gap between it and the side wall of the compartment 1, so that when passengers place their hands on the control panel 2, the gap between the control panel 2 and the compartment 1 can accommodate the passengers' fingers, increasing the area for passengers to grip the control panel 2 and improving the firmness of the grip.

[0039] In this implementation, the protrusion can function as a handrail, allowing passengers to grip, support, or hold the control panel 2. Furthermore, after inputting floor information into the operation section 21 of the control panel 2, the user can directly hold the control panel 2, reducing passenger travel distance and improving the convenience of elevator use. The display section 22 of the control panel 2 can display information such as the operating floor, direction of travel, and projected video, allowing passengers to understand the elevator's operating status and learn more through video projection, thus diversifying the elevator car and enhancing the passenger experience.

[0040] Figure 4 A perspective view of an elevator car according to another embodiment of the present invention is shown schematically.

[0041] In one exemplary embodiment, such as Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the sidewalls extending vertically from the compartment 1 include a first sidewall and three second sidewalls 11. An entrance / exit is located on the first sidewall (not shown in the figure). The three second sidewalls 11, together with the first sidewall, form a receiving space 12. It is understood that the compartment 1 also includes a top wall and a bottom wall, which connect to the top and bottom of the sidewalls respectively to form the receiving space 12.

[0042] In one exemplary embodiment, the control panel 2 extends horizontally and is disposed on at least one second sidewall 11. Specifically, as shown... Figure 1 As shown, the control panel 2 is disposed on one of the second sidewalls 11, that is, on the second sidewall 11 opposite to the first sidewall. It can be understood that the control panel 2 may also be disposed on at least one of the two second sidewalls 11 connected to the first sidewall, with the control panels 2 on the second sidewalls 11 being independent of each other. In such a case, as... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the control panel 2 has a rectangular structure.

[0043] Figure 5 A perspective view of a control panel 2 according to another embodiment of the present invention is shown schematically.

[0044] In one exemplary embodiment, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the control panel 2 is mounted on the three second side walls 11, forming a U-shaped integrated structure. This design provides a visually appealing experience for passengers, enhancing the elevator car's visibility and improving its aesthetics and modern feel.

[0045] In this embodiment, the control panel 2 is disposed on three second side walls 11, thereby increasing the area occupied by the control panel 2 and distributing it in different areas within the compartment 1, so that passengers standing in any position within the compartment 1 can easily reach and operate it, thereby improving ease of use. When there are many passengers, the control panel 2 can distribute the operation among passengers, reducing passenger waiting time and improving efficiency.

[0046] In one exemplary embodiment, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the operation unit 21 and the display unit 22 are located on the side of the control panel 2 away from the side wall of the body 1.

[0047] In detail, the operating unit 21 can be a mechanical button, a touch screen button, etc., depending on the actual needs. The control panel 2 is used by passengers to press the corresponding button to select the target floor. The size, layout, etc. of the buttons on the control panel 2 are not limited here, but are limited according to the number of floors in the building and considering human factors.

[0048] In this embodiment, the display unit 22 faces the passenger, making it convenient for the passenger to view the information displayed on the display unit 22. The operation unit 21 faces the passenger, making it convenient for the passenger to operate the operation unit 21 by selecting or pressing the buttons on the operation unit 21, thus improving ease of use.

[0049] In one exemplary embodiment, such as Figure 1 and Figure 4As shown, the distance between the control panel 2 and the bottom of the body 1 ranges from 700mm to 1100mm. For example, the distance between the control panel 2 and the bottom of the body 1 can be 700mm, 800mm, 900mm, 1000mm, 1100mm, etc., specifically limited according to the height of the passengers to ensure that most people can easily reach and operate it, which is ergonomic and improves passenger comfort.

[0050] Figure 6 A schematic cross-sectional view of an elevator car according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown. Figure 7 A schematic cross-sectional view of an elevator car according to another embodiment of the present invention is shown.

[0051] In one exemplary embodiment, such as Figure 1 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the elevator car also includes an installation component 3, which is detachably installed between the car body 1 and the control panel 2.

[0052] Specifically, the mounting component 3 can be bolts, pins, snap-fit ​​components, plug-in components, etc. The mounting component 3 is detachably installed between the body 1 and the control panel 2, which facilitates the removal or installation of the control panel 2 from the body 1, improves the ease of disassembly and assembly of the control panel 2, and facilitates maintenance.

[0053] In one exemplary embodiment, such as Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the control panel 2 also includes a chassis 23 for supporting the display unit 22 and a plurality of mounting cylinders 24 protruding outward from the chassis 23.

[0054] Specifically, the chassis 23 is located on the side of the control panel 2 facing the body 1. The display unit 22 is installed on the chassis 23 by means of connection such as adhesive, plug-in, or snap-fit. Multiple mounting cylinders 24 are distributed at intervals along the length of the chassis 23.

[0055] In one exemplary embodiment, such as Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the mounting assembly 3 includes multiple mounting portions 31 and locking elements 32. Multiple mounting portions 31 are disposed on the side wall of the housing 1, and mounting cylinders 24 are respectively fitted onto the mounting portions 31. The locking element 32 passes through the mounting cylinder 24 in the radial direction, is threaded into the mounting cylinder 24, and is inserted into the annular mounting groove 313 of the mounting portion 31 to prevent the mounting cylinder 24 from moving relative to the mounting portion 31.

[0056] In detail, the mounting parts 31 are, but are not limited to, installed on the side wall of the body 1 by bolts, pins, snap-fit ​​assemblies, plug-in assemblies, or other installation methods. Multiple mounting parts 31 are located at the same height on the side wall of the body 1. Multiple mounting parts 31 are arranged opposite to multiple mounting cylinders 24, such that the mounting cylinders 24 are respectively fitted onto the mounting parts 31, thereby making the control panel 2 horizontally positioned. The mounting parts 31 are, but are not limited to, formed by turning, cutting, or other machining methods to create an axis around the mounting cylinder 24 (…). Figure 6 The central axis extends laterally, forming an annular mounting groove 313.

[0057] Locking member 32 in the radial direction ( Figure 6 The locking element 32 is threaded into the mounting cylinder 24 and passes through it in a direction perpendicular to the axis in the lateral direction. The locking element 32 is inserted into the annular mounting groove 313 of the mounting part 31 to prevent the mounting cylinder 24 from moving relative to the mounting part 31, that is, to prevent the mounting cylinder 24 from moving relative to the mounting part 31 in the lateral direction.

[0058] According to an embodiment of this utility model, when the control panel 2 is installed on the side wall of the compartment 1, multiple mounting cylinders 24 are respectively opposite to and fitted onto multiple mounting portions 31. Next, the locking member 32 is rotated, causing it to move closer to the mounting portion 31 and engage with the annular mounting groove 313 of the mounting portion 31. In this way, the locking member 32 engages with the mounting groove 313, thereby locking the mounting cylinders 24 to the mounting portions 31, preventing the mounting cylinders 24 from moving laterally relative to the mounting portions 31, thus completing the installation of the control panel 2 and facilitating operation.

[0059] Furthermore, the mounting groove 313 of the mounting part 31 is arranged in a ring shape, so that any position of the mounting groove 313 is opposite to the locking member 32. In this way, it can avoid the situation where the hole-shaped mounting groove 313 and the locking member 32 are slightly misaligned, making it inconvenient for the locking member 32 to be inserted into the mounting groove 313, thereby further improving the ease of installation.

[0060] In one exemplary embodiment, such as Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the mounting part 31 includes a screw 311 and a cylindrical connecting block 312. The screw 311 is threaded onto the side wall of the housing 1. The cylindrical connecting block 312 is mounted on the screw 311, and a mounting groove 313 is formed on the connecting block 312.

[0061] In detail, the shape of the connecting block 312 matches the mounting cylinder 24, so that the mounting cylinder 24 is fitted onto the connecting block 312, and the inner wall of the mounting cylinder 24 abuts against the outer wall of the connecting block 312, reducing the degree of shaking or displacement of the control panel 2 and improving the stability of the control panel 2 installation. The connecting block 312 can be a cylinder, prism, etc., and is not limited here.

[0062] In this embodiment, when the mounting part 31 is installed on the side wall of the compartment 1, the screw 311 passes through the cylindrical connecting block 312 and engages with the threaded side wall of the compartment 1, making operation convenient and improving the ease of disassembly and replacement of the mounting part 31.

[0063] In one exemplary embodiment, such as Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the longitudinal section of the mounting groove 313 is V-shaped.

[0064] In this way, as the opening of the V-groove gradually decreases from the outside to the inside in the radial direction of the connecting block 312, during the process of rotating the locking member 32 and moving it closer to the connecting block 312 and inserting it into the mounting groove 313, the inclined surface of the mounting groove 313 has a guiding effect on the locking member 32 and the mounting cylinder 24, so that the locking member 32 and the mounting cylinder 24 move slightly relative to the connecting block 312, so that the locking member 32 is aligned with the middle of the mounting groove 313, further improving the ease of installation.

[0065] Understandably, the longitudinal section of the mounting slot 313 can also be rectangular, hemispherical, etc.

[0066] In one exemplary embodiment, such as Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the control panel 2 is arranged parallel to or inclined relative to the side wall of the compartment 1.

[0067] Specifically, such as Figure 6 As shown, the screw 311 is perpendicular to the side wall of the vertically arranged compartment 1, that is, the screw 311 is horizontally arranged. The control panel 2 is perpendicular to the screw 311, that is, the control panel 2 is parallel to the side wall of the compartment 1.

[0068] like Figure 7 As shown, the control panel 2 forms an angle with the vertically arranged side wall of the compartment 1, and the angle can range from 5° to 15°. For example, the angle can be 5°, 7°, 9°, 11°, 13°, 15°, etc., depending on the actual needs. The control panel 2 is tilted upwards, so that the operating part 21 and the display part 22 of the control panel 2 are tilted upwards. The screw 311 is perpendicular to the vertically arranged side wall of the compartment 1, that is, the screw 311 is horizontally arranged. The control panel 2 forms an angle with the horizontally arranged screw 311.

[0069] In this way, since the height of the control panel 2 is lower than the head height of a standing passenger, the control panel 2 is tilted upwards, making it easier for the user to view the display unit 22 and the operation unit 21, thus improving the passenger's user experience.

[0070] In one exemplary embodiment, such as Figure 3As shown, the elevator car also includes an auxiliary handrail 4, which is installed on the control panel 2. Specifically, the auxiliary handrail 4 can be installed on the top, bottom, side wall, etc. of the control panel 2, depending on actual needs.

[0071] In this way, the auxiliary handrail 4 extends out of the control panel 2 for passengers to grab and support, improving passenger grip comfort and reducing accidental touches on the control panel 2.

[0072] The second aspect of this utility model proposes an elevator based on the aforementioned elevator car.

[0073] According to the elevator car and elevator provided in this embodiment, passengers or items are placed within the accommodating space 12 of the car body 1. The control panel 2 is disposed on the side wall of the car body 1 and protrudes into the accommodating space 12, thus forming a protrusion protruding from the side wall of the car body 1. This protrusion can function as a handrail, allowing passengers to grasp, support, or hold the control panel 2. Furthermore, after inputting floor information into the operation section 21 of the control panel 2, the user can directly hold the control panel 2, reducing passenger travel distance and improving the convenience of elevator use. The display section 22 of the control panel 2 can display information such as floor, elevator direction of travel, and projected video, allowing passengers to understand the elevator's operating status and learn more information through video projection, thus diversifying the elevator car experience and enhancing the passenger's riding experience.
