Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of elevators, and specifically to an elevator ambient light structure. Background Technology
[0002] Traditional elevator car decorative ceiling structures are typically fixed, meaning the position and angle of the decorative panels and ambient lighting cannot be adjusted. This results in a monotonous visual effect inside the car, failing to meet users' needs for a personalized and dynamic spatial atmosphere. Furthermore, existing ambient lighting is mostly fixed, providing only static illumination and unable to create a sense of layering or dynamic aesthetics through light rotation or color changes.
[0003] Therefore, in order to overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies, it is necessary to design an elevator ambient lighting structure with good performance. Utility Model Content
[0004] This utility model provides an elevator ambient light structure to solve the problems of the prior art.
[0005] The objective of this utility model can be achieved through the following technical solution: An elevator ambient light structure includes: a car top plate, a profile plate, a base plate, a rotary drive assembly, a decorative plate, a top ambient light, and a side ambient light. The profile plate is fixed to the lower end of the car top plate. A cavity is provided in the lower bent portion of the profile plate. The side ambient light is installed in the cavity and an acrylic plate is provided on the end face of the cavity. The base plate is rotatably disposed inside the profile plate through a plane bearing and is rotated through the rotary drive assembly. A second cavity is provided in the middle of the base plate. The top ambient light is disposed inside the second cavity and connected to a conductive slip ring at its upper end. An acrylic plate is provided inside the second cavity at the lower end of the top ambient light. The decorative plate is snapped into the bottom of the second cavity.
[0006] In a further improvement, the rotary drive assembly includes a motor, a first transmission gear, a second transmission gear, a main shaft, and a bearing. The upper end of the motor is fixed to the main shaft and the car top plate. The first transmission gear is connected to the output end of the motor. The second transmission gear is fixed to the upper end of the base plate and meshes with the first transmission gear. The bearing is fixed to the upper middle part of the base plate and rotatably connected to the main shaft. The lower end of the rotor component in the conductive slip ring is fixed to the upper end of the second transmission gear and electrically connected to the top ambient light. The stator component in the conductive slip ring is fixed to the lower end of the main shaft. The stator component and the rotor component maintain rotational contact, and current is transmitted through the contact point. The stator component and the side ambient light are connected to an external power source through wires.
[0007] As a further improvement, both acrylic sheet one and acrylic sheet two have a frosted layer on their surfaces.
[0008] In a further improvement, the cavity is tilted upwards.
[0009] In a further improvement, the decorative panel is snapped onto the cavity two of the substrate with a buckle and its end face is flush with the lower end face of the substrate.
[0010] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model's elevator ambient light structure are as follows:
[0011] The combination of profile panels, base plates, and rotary drive components allows the decorative panels and ceiling ambient lights to rotate via motor drive. The use of conductive slip rings solves the power supply problem for rotation. Meanwhile, the side ambient lights are installed in an upwardly inclined cavity and paired with frosted acrylic panels, achieving dynamic linkage between the decorative panels and the lights. Through changes in light color and rotation, diverse and personalized cabin atmospheres are created. Attached Figure Description

[0018] The following is a description of the embodiments and appendices. Figures 1-4 The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below.
[0019] Example 1
[0020] An elevator ambient light structure includes: a car top plate 1, a profile plate 2, a base plate 3, a rotary drive assembly 4, a decorative panel 5, a top ambient light 6, and a side ambient light 7. The profile plate 2 is fixed to the lower end of the car top plate 1. A cavity 21 is provided in the lower bent portion of the profile plate 2. The side ambient light 7 is installed in the cavity 21, and an acrylic plate 211 is provided on the end face of the cavity 21. The base plate 3 is rotatably disposed inside the profile plate 2 via a plane bearing 31 and is rotated via the rotary drive assembly 4. A cavity 34 is provided in the middle of the base plate 3. The top ambient light 6 is disposed in the cavity 34 and connected to a conductive slip ring 32 at its upper end. An acrylic plate 33 is provided inside the cavity 34 at the lower end of the top ambient light 6. The decorative panel 5 is snapped into the bottom of the cavity 34.
[0021] As a further preferred embodiment, the rotary drive assembly 4 includes a motor 41, a first transmission gear 42, a second transmission gear 43, a main shaft 45, and a bearing 44. The upper end of the motor 41 is fixed to the car top plate 1 along with the main shaft 45. The first transmission gear 42 is connected to the output end of the motor 41. The second transmission gear 43 is fixed to the upper end of the base plate 3 and meshes with the first transmission gear 42. The bearing 44 is fixed to the upper middle part of the base plate 3 and rotatably connected to the main shaft 45. The lower end of the rotor component 321 in the conductive slip ring 32 is fixed to the upper end of the second transmission gear 43 and electrically connected to the top ambient light 6. The stator component 322 in the conductive slip ring 32 is fixed to the lower end of the main shaft 45. The stator component 322 and the rotor component 321 maintain rotational contact, and current is transmitted through the contact point. The stator component 322 and the side ambient light 7 are connected to an external power source through wires.
[0022] The motor 41 is fixed to the car top plate 1 via the main shaft 45. The meshing of transmission gear 1 42 and transmission gear 2 43 achieves speed reduction and torque increase, allowing the base plate 3 to rotate smoothly at a suitable speed. The bearing 44 is fixed to the upper end of the base plate 3 and rotatably connected to the main shaft 45, ensuring the coaxiality of the base plate during rotation and reducing radial wobble. The stator and rotor components of the conductive slip ring 32 are kept in contact through conductive contacts. When the base plate rotates, the rotor component rotates with the base plate, while the stator component is fixed to the main shaft. Current is transmitted through friction at the contacts, achieving 360° uninterrupted conductivity, suitable for scenarios requiring rotational power supply.
[0023] As a further preferred embodiment, both acrylic sheet 211 and acrylic sheet 33 have a frosted layer on their surfaces. The frosted layer, through its finely textured surface, diffuses light to prevent glare from direct light from the top and side ambient lights, while also making the light distribution more uniform.
[0024] As a further preferred embodiment, the cavity 21 is tilted upwards to avoid direct light entering the passenger's line of sight and reduce glare interference.
[0025] In a further preferred embodiment, the decorative panel 5 is snapped onto the cavity 34 of the substrate 3 with a clip, and its end face is flush with the lower end face of the substrate 3. This facilitates the replacement and maintenance of the decorative panel while maintaining a simple and aesthetically pleasing overall appearance.
[0026] like Figures 1-4 As shown, the working principle of this utility model is as follows: After the motor 41 is started, it drives the transmission gear 43 to rotate through the transmission gear 42 at the output end. Since the transmission gear 43 is fixed to the upper end of the base plate 3, the base plate 3 rotates inside the profile plate 2 through the plane bearing 31.
[0027] A ceiling ambient light 6 is installed inside cavity 34 in the middle of substrate 3, and its upper end is connected to an external power source through a conductive slip ring 32. The stator component 322 of the conductive slip ring is fixed to the main shaft 45 (the main shaft is fixed to the car top plate 1), and the rotor component 321 rotates synchronously with substrate 3, transmitting current through contact points to ensure that the ceiling ambient light 6 is continuously powered during rotation.
[0028] A side ambient light 7 is installed in the cavity 21 on the lower side of the profile plate 2. The acrylic plate 211 on its end face is used to evenly scatter light. The upward tilt design of the cavity 21 can avoid the light shining directly into the passenger's eyes, while projecting the light onto the side wall of the car to enhance the space lighting effect.
[0029] Decorative panel 5 is snapped into the bottom of cavity 34 and rotates synchronously with substrate 3. The light emitted by the top ambient light 6 is scattered by acrylic plate 33 (frosted surface layer) and evenly projected onto decorative panel 5. By changing the color of the light (such as switching between warm and cool tones) and the rotation dynamics, the visual style of the decorative panel is changed (such as creating flowing light and shadow, gradient color and other effects).
[0030] The side ambient lights 7 and the ceiling ambient lights 6 can be controlled independently or synchronously. For example, the side ambient lights provide basic ambient light, while the ceiling ambient lights, in conjunction with the rotating decorative panels, create a dynamic focal point. The combination of the two enhances the overall aesthetics of the elevator car. By adjusting the color, brightness, and rotation speed of the ceiling and side ambient lights, different scene requirements can be met, achieving flexible switching between "one elevator, multiple styles".
[0031] The preferred embodiments of this utility model have been described in detail above. It should be understood that those skilled in the art can make numerous modifications and variations based on the concept of this utility model without creative effort. Therefore, all technical solutions that can be obtained by those skilled in the art based on the concept of this utility model through logical analysis, reasoning, or limited experimentation on the basis of existing technology should be within the scope of protection defined by the claims.
