[0024] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more readily understood, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0025] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Those skilled in the art can make similar extensions without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0026] Secondly, the term "an embodiment" or "embodiment" as used herein refers to a specific feature, structure, or characteristic that may be included in at least one implementation of the present invention. The phrase "in one embodiment" appearing in different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a single embodiment or an embodiment selectively excluded from other embodiments.

[0027] Example 1:

[0028] Please see Figures 1-2 This is the first embodiment of the present utility model.

[0029] This embodiment provides an elevator control panel with voice prompt buttons for the blind, including:

[0030] The housing 1 has a prompting mechanism 2 on its side, a control mechanism 3 on one side of the prompting mechanism 2, and a fixing mechanism 5 at one end of the housing 1.

[0031] The prompting mechanism 2 includes a flat plate 21 fastened to one side of the housing 1. A button 22 is evenly slidably mounted on the side of the flat plate 21. A metal rod 23 is symmetrically fixed on the circumferential surface of one end of the button 22. A support platform 24 is fastened to the inside of the flat plate 21. A first DC power supply 25 is evenly fixed on the side of the support platform 24. A first speaker 26 is evenly fixed on the side of the flat plate 21. The first DC power supply 25 and the first speaker 26 are connected to form an open circuit through a first wire 27. A cylinder 28 is evenly fixed on the inside of the flat plate 21.

[0032] Specifically, one end of the inner side of the button 22 is made of metal, the metal rod 23 is located on one side of the first wire 27, and the button 22 is slidably installed inside the cylinder 28.

[0033] Furthermore, through the structure of button 22 and metal rod 23, when a blind person presses button 22, the first wire 27 is connected, indicating the floor pressed by the blind person. The operation is simple and more convenient for blind people to use.

[0034] When in use, a blind person can support themselves on the housing 1 and press the buttons 22 one by one in the vertical direction. This causes the metal rods 23 to slide inside the cylinder 28, connecting the metal rods 23 at both ends of the buttons 22 to the two ends of the first wire 27, thus connecting the circuit. At this time, the first speaker 26, with the cooperation of the first DC power supply 25, indicates the floor that the blind person has pressed, allowing the blind person to rotate the button 22 again to go to that floor as needed, making it more convenient for the blind person to use.

[0035] In summary, by integrating the prompting mechanism 2 with the control mechanism via button 22, blind people can easily connect the first wire 27 by pressing button 22 when using the elevator, thereby indicating the floor they have pressed. This reduces the number of steps blind people need to take to control the elevator, allowing them to quickly select the floor they want to go to, making the elevator more convenient for blind people to use.

[0036] Example 2:

[0037] Please see Figures 3-4 This is the second embodiment of the present utility model.

[0038] Specifically, the control mechanism 3 includes a limiting platform 31 that is slidably installed inside the button 22. A first spring 32 is fixedly connected between the limiting platform 31 and one end of the button 22. A sleeve 33 is fixedly installed at one end of the inner side of the cylinder 28. The limiting platform 31 and the sleeve 33 are slidably connected. A second speaker 37, a controller 38, and a second DC power supply 39 are evenly fixed inside the support platform 24. The second speaker 37, the controller 38, and the second DC power supply 39 are connected to form an open circuit through a second wire 361. A second spring 34 is fixedly connected between the limiting platform 31 and one end of the inner side of the cylinder 28. Limiting grooves 35 are symmetrically opened on the circumference of the cylinder 28. Metal plates 36 are symmetrically fixed on the circumference of the limiting platform 31. The metal plates 36 and the metal rod 23 are slidably installed inside the limiting grooves 35.

[0039] Furthermore, by cooperating with the first spring 32 and the second spring 34, the button 22 can be pressed in two stages, so that when a blind person presses the button 22, the floor is indicated, and the button 22 can be pressed again as needed to control the elevator to go to that floor, making it easier to use.

[0040] Specifically, the fixing mechanism 5 includes support columns 51 symmetrically fixed at both ends of the inner side of the housing 1. The side of the support column 51 is provided with a sliding groove 52. A fixing rod 53 is slidably installed in the sliding groove 52. A third spring 54 is fixedly connected between one end of the fixing rod 53 and one end of the inner side of the sliding groove 52. An elevator car 6 is provided on one side of the support column 51. A limit seat 4 is symmetrically fixed inside the elevator car 6. A fixing hole 55 is provided on one side of the limit seat 4. A limit block 57 is fixed inside the limit seat 4. The support column 51 is slidably installed on the limit block 57 through the mounting groove 56.

[0041] Furthermore, through the structure of the fixing rod 53 and the limiting seat 4, the position of the support column 51 can be fixed when the fixing rod 53 is inserted into the fixing hole 55. When it needs to be removed for maintenance, the fixing rod 53 can be pressed down to retract into the sliding groove 52, thereby releasing the fixation and removing the housing 1, which is convenient for operators to perform maintenance and replacement.

[0042] In use, the elastic stiffness of the first spring 32 is much smaller than that of the second spring 34. When the button 22 is pressed, the first spring 32 is compressed, connecting the prompting circuit. The prompting mechanism 2 provides a voice prompt to the blind person indicating the floor. If the prompted floor is the desired floor, the button 22 can be pressed again to push the limiting platform 31, causing it to retract into the sleeve 33 and compress the second spring 34. At this time, the metal plate 36 slides inside the limiting groove 35 until it contacts both ends of the second wire 361, connecting the circuit. This causes the second speaker 37 and the controller 38 to control the elevator to go to the floor with the cooperation of the second DC power supply 39, and indicate the floor number. The operation is simple and more convenient for blind people to use. When maintenance or replacement is required, the fixing rod 53 can be pushed to retract into the slide groove 52, releasing the fixation between the fixing limiting seat 4 and the support column 51, thereby removing the housing 1 for maintenance or replacement, ensuring that the elevator can operate normally.

[0043] In summary, through the structure of the control mechanism 3 and the fixing mechanism 5, and through the cooperation of the limiting platform 31 and the spring, the button 22 can be moved in two stages, thereby preventing accidental touches and making it convenient to indicate the floor required by the blind person. The blind person can then choose whether to press the button 22 again to go to that floor, thus making the elevator control panel more widely applicable.
