[0034] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0035] Please see Figure 1-4The present invention provides a technical solution: a magnetic control panel device for elevators, including a car wall 1 and a control panel body 2 disposed on one side thereof. A display screen 3 is fixedly connected to the center of the upper end of the control panel body 2. A touch button 4 is provided in the area of ​​the control panel body 2 near the display screen 3 directly below it. A black glass decorative layer 10 is fixedly connected to the edge of the control panel body 2 and the non-operation area.

[0036] Through a scientifically designed functional zoning system, the display screen 3 is placed at the top center as the information display area, while the touch-sensitive buttons 4 are positioned directly below it to form the operation area. This design conforms to ergonomic principles and achieves a separation of display and operation functions. A black glass decorative layer 10 is used to cover the edges and non-operational areas, highlighting the functional areas with a high-contrast background while giving the product a modern and minimalist aesthetic. The core components are integrated into a tempered glass substrate, and the black glass decorative layer 10 provides edge protection, forming a high-strength composite structure that significantly improves durability. At the same time, the low-reflection properties of the black glass are utilized to optimize optical performance, ensuring visibility under various lighting conditions and providing an ideal optical carrier for the dynamic running light strip 5.

[0037] The inner side of the black glass decorative layer 10 is attached to the car wall 1, and the inner side of the black glass decorative layer 10 is provided with a dynamic running light strip 5 around its perimeter.

[0038] The precise fit between the inner side of the black glass decorative layer 10 and the car wall 1 achieves seamless integration of the control panel and the car, which not only enhances the overall aesthetics but also effectively prevents dust intrusion. The dynamic running light strip 5 set around its inner perimeter produces a uniform and soft diffused light effect through the black glass, which avoids glare and creates natural visual guidance. This built-in design not only provides physical protection for the LED components but also maintains a simple appearance through the light-shielding properties of the black glass.

[0039] Both sides of the back of the control panel body 2 are fixedly connected with milky white light-transmitting back panels 6;

[0040] By fixing the milky white light-transmitting backplate 6 to the back of both sides of the control panel body 2, multiple optimization effects are achieved: its special material properties effectively scatter and homogenize the light from the dynamic running light strip 5, eliminate light spot phenomenon, and improve visual comfort; the fixed connection method enhances the overall structural strength and forms a stable support frame; at the same time, the integrated design avoids loosening of the connectors, and the anti-aging material ensures long-term stable optical performance.

[0041] The back of the control panel body 2 is provided with three sets of strong magnetic attraction components 7 distributed vertically, located on both sides of the top, middle and bottom center of the control panel body 2, and connected to a straight beam 8 by magnetic attraction. The straight beam 8 is indirectly connected to the car frame via a bracket.

[0042] Three sets of strong magnetic attraction components 7 are symmetrically distributed vertically on the top, middle and bottom sides of the control panel body 2, forming a six-point balanced adsorption structure. The uniformly dispersed adsorption force effectively prevents vibration displacement and ensures operational stability. The preset magnetic positioning points make the installation process quick and accurate, greatly improving construction efficiency. The indirect connection design between the straight beam 8 and the car frame provides installation adaptability and ensures levelness in different environments. At the same time, the magnetic connection method greatly simplifies the maintenance process and enables non-destructive repeated disassembly and assembly.

[0043] The control panel body 2 has two locking nuts 9 on both sides at the top center position;

[0044] The locking nut 9 is made of stainless steel with a precision threaded connection. Through the combined action of mechanical fastening and magnetic attraction system, it not only enhances the vibration resistance of the control panel body, but also achieves convenient maintenance through quick disassembly and assembly. Its symmetrical arrangement not only provides installation fine-tuning function to ensure accurate positioning, but also significantly improves durability and corrosion resistance through optimized design such as anti-loosening adhesive and insulating gaskets. This allows the entire device to maintain the advantage of convenient installation while ensuring long-term reliability.

[0045] The strong magnetic attraction component 7 includes a permanent magnet and a magnetic guide sheet. The permanent magnet is fixed to the back of the control panel body 2, and the magnetic guide sheet is fixed to the corresponding position of the straight beam 8.

[0046] The magnetic structure can achieve automatic adsorption and positioning without precise alignment. During installation, simply bring the main body 2 of the control panel close to the straight beam 8, and the magnetic force will complete the initial fixation, greatly reducing the difficulty of installation and labor time. The magnetic connection method supports non-destructive repeated disassembly. During maintenance, simply overcome the magnetic force to separate the components, avoiding common problems such as stripping and wear in traditional threaded connections, and significantly extending the service life.

[0047] The dynamic running light strip 5 uses RGB LED light strips. The dynamic running light strip 5 achieves uniform diffuse reflection lighting through optical coupling between the light guide plate and the milky white light-transmitting back plate 6.

[0048] The precise dot design of the light guide plate, combined with the diffuse reflection characteristics of the milky white translucent back panel 6, effectively eliminates the light spot phenomenon of LED point light sources, achieving uniform diffusion of light in the edge area of ​​the control panel and creating a soft and comfortable optical effect; the RGB LED light strip supports 16 million color display and multiple dynamic mode programming, and can achieve rich light effect changes such as flowing water, breathing, and gradient through the control system, significantly enhancing the modernity and technological feel of the elevator car;

[0049] The control panel body 2 is made of tempered glass substrate with an anti-fingerprint and anti-reflective coating on the surface;

[0050] The control panel body 2 uses a tempered glass substrate with a special surface treatment process, which significantly improves the user experience and durability while ensuring structural safety and an ultra-thin appearance. Through surface treatment technologies such as anti-fingerprint and anti-reflective properties, it maintains the cleanliness and beauty of the panel, enhances display clarity, and has excellent scratch resistance and environmental adaptability. This design not only meets the aesthetic requirements of modern elevator control panels, but its antibacterial properties are also particularly suitable for use in public places, achieving a perfect combination of functionality and aesthetics.

[0051] The straight beam 8 is made of aluminum alloy profile, and its connection bracket with the car frame is equipped with fine-tuning bolts for leveling calibration.

[0052] The connecting bracket is equipped with fine-tuning bolts that allow for multi-directional adjustment, enabling installers to precisely adjust the level of the control panel according to actual conditions, ensuring a perfect fit with the car wall.

[0053] The zipper nut 9 is made of stainless steel, and its threaded hole is fastened to the mounting hole on the car wall 1 by bolts.

[0054] The zipper nut 9 is made of stainless steel and features a standard threaded connection design, which ensures structural strength and corrosion resistance while providing a convenient installation and maintenance experience. This design effectively improves the connection reliability in elevator vibration environments through an optimized pre-tightening anti-loosening mechanism, and its standardized interface greatly simplifies the construction process.

[0055] The touch button 4 is a capacitive touch sensor, and its surface is integrally encapsulated with the glass layer of the control panel body 2.

[0056] The Touch Button 4 innovatively adopts an integrated encapsulation technology that combines a capacitive sensor with a glass panel, achieving a simple and beautiful appearance and a sensitive and precise touch experience through seamless integration. This design completely eliminates the wear and tear problem of mechanical buttons, and its fully sealed structure has excellent waterproof and dustproof performance. Combined with its wide operating temperature characteristics and anti-interference capabilities, it can adapt to various harsh operating environments.

[0057] Working principle: Before using this type of magnetic control panel device for elevators, it is necessary to check the overall condition of the device to ensure it can function normally. Figure 1 - Figure 4 As shown:

[0058] Installation phase: The control panel body 2 generates a strong magnetic attraction force with the magnetic plates on the straight beam 8 through three sets of strong magnetic attraction components 7 set on the back, realizing the quick pre-positioning installation of the control panel; the three sets of magnetic attraction components 7 are located on both sides of the top, middle and bottom center positions of the control panel body 2, forming a stable six-point attraction layout to ensure the temporary fixation of the control panel body 2 before mechanical locking.

[0059] Then, the pull-lock nuts 9 set on both sides of the top center position of the control panel body 2 are fastened to the mounting holes on the car wall 1 by bolts to form a rigid connection; after the magnetic attraction component 7 completes the initial attraction, double fixation is achieved by tightening the pull-lock nuts 9, which effectively prevents displacement or loosening caused by elevator operation vibration;

[0060] Operational Phase: The dynamic running light strip 5 uses RGB LED light strips, and the light emitted is transmitted to the milky white translucent back panel 6 through the light guide plate. The high light transmittance and diffuse reflection characteristics of the back panel make the light diffuse evenly and avoid local bright spots. At the same time, the dynamic running light strip 5 is linked with the elevator control system signal and switches the light effect mode according to the elevator's operating status. For example, when going up, the light has an upward flowing effect, when going down, it has a downward flowing effect, when arriving at the station, the light is fully lit or flashing, and when there is a malfunction, it switches to flashing red warning light.

[0061] Maintenance phase: After removing the pull lock nut 9, the magnetic attraction can be disengaged by pulling it outward with the suction cup, thereby enabling quick disassembly of the control panel body 2. At the same time, the milky white light-transmitting back panel 6 has a reserved maintenance port for easy replacement of the light strip or touch module.

[0062] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
