Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to an improvement of an elevator control box, specifically an elevator control box that integrates assistive functions for disabled persons. Background Technology

[0002] The elevator control panel is a functional device installed in the elevator car, mainly used to select the floor to reach. Conventional elevator control panels mainly have buttons for selecting the floor and buttons for opening and closing the elevator doors. Although Braille is provided on the buttons, the interactivity is weak and the perception effect is not strong. This makes it inefficient and inconvenient for disabled people to operate, and it is difficult to improve the operating efficiency of the elevator. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the elevator control panel. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the above-mentioned deficiencies in the existing technology and to provide an elevator control box that integrates assistive functions for disabled persons.

[0004] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve the above problems is as follows: The elevator control box includes a box body, floor buttons, a voice interaction module and an emergency button. The box body includes a panel and a fixed box. The fixed box is fixed on the elevator car. The panel covers the fixed box. The floor buttons, the voice interaction module and the emergency button are fixedly installed on the panel. The floor buttons and the emergency button are centrally located in the lower part of the panel. The voice interaction module is fixed on the back of the panel and installed in the fixed box. The voice interaction module includes a microphone and a speaker and is fixed on the panel. The control panel is the main spatial structure, and all components that enable the control panel functions are mounted on it. The control panel has a fixed box that is fixed to the car, and the fixed box forms a space for accommodating the components. The floor buttons are used to select the floor to go, and also include buttons for opening and closing the doors. The buttons are concentrated in the lower part of the panel for easy operation by wheelchair users, improving usability. The voice interaction module can provide voice operation assistance functions, including voice selection of the floor to go, door opening and closing functions, and emergency response functions. The emergency button can be set with a large, prominent button model for quick access to emergency functions, including connection with the elevator duty backend for remote assistance and rescue.

[0005] Furthermore, the mounting box of the enclosure is constructed using metal sheets to form a surrounding structure, with its sides fixed to the elevator car. The panel surface is smooth, and the corners are rounded. The panel consists of an upper panel and a lower panel. The upper panel is made of transparent material and includes a display component. The lower panel has microphone and speaker holes, positioned corresponding to the microphone and speaker locations, respectively. Floor buttons and emergency buttons are centrally mounted on the lower panel. The panel's top-and-bottom structure facilitates processing, allows for different functional areas, and ensures structural stability.

[0006] Furthermore, the floor buttons and emergency buttons are made of a size with an outer diameter of 40mm or more, and their surfaces are decorated with raised Braille. The buttons also contain internal light-emitting components, and their surface panels are made of a translucent material. Both the floor buttons and emergency buttons are large-area models and equipped with light-emitting components to improve visual recognition, provide assistance to visually impaired individuals, and highlight their identification features.

[0007] Furthermore, the emergency button is located at the bottom of all the buttons. The emergency button is connected to the voice interaction module circuitry and the elevator control backend. The bottom-positioned emergency button is convenient for people with disabilities to use. After being pressed, the voice interaction module can play a voice prompt to calm people inside the elevator and connect to the control backend to provide assistance and rescue to those inside.

[0008] Furthermore, the circuit board of the voice interaction module is fixed to the rear of the panel, and it is connected to the microphone and speaker via circuitry. The voice interaction module is also connected to the elevator control cabinet circuitry. This connection enables voice-based operation of the elevator, allowing for functions such as voice-activated floor selection and door opening / closing, thus facilitating use by people with disabilities.

[0009] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following advantages and effects: This design is an improvement of the elevator control box, which provides assistive convenience functions for people with disabilities. The main improvement is in the button layout and structure, using large-area buttons and a lower overall arrangement for easy operation and clear identification features. It provides a voice interaction module, which can control the basic operation of the elevator by voice, and can be linked with the elevator's emergency function to soothe the emotions of people in the elevator and facilitate communication between the duty back office and people in the elevator, providing timely assistance and rescue for people with disabilities and improving the safety of using the elevator.
