[0009] Hereinafter, with reference to the drawings, an embodiment of a cargo rail plate mounting structure according to the present disclosure will be described in detail. The embodiment described below is merely an example, and the present invention is not limited to the following embodiment. Furthermore, the present invention also includes forms obtained by selectively combining multiple embodiments and modified examples described below.
[0010] The elevator car 1 according to this embodiment will be described in detail with reference to Fig. 1. Fig. 1 is a diagram showing the elevator car 1 according to this embodiment.
[0011] An elevator is an elevator device that transports people and goods by having a car 1 that carries people and goods and that moves up and down in a hoistway and stopping at the landings on each floor. The elevator is equipped with a hoist as the drive device that raises and lowers the car 1. Inside the hoistway, a wire rope is installed that is wound around the hoist and deflector sheave and has one end connected to the top of the car 1, and a counterweight is connected to the other end of the wire rope.
[0012] As shown in Figure 1, elevator car 1 is composed of floor 2, wall 3 erected around floor 2, and ceiling 4. In addition, car doors 5 are provided for passengers to enter and exit car 1. As will be described in more detail later, cargo railings 10 are installed on wall 3.
[0013] The cargo rail plate mounting structure according to this embodiment will be described in detail with reference to Fig. 2. Fig. 2 is a schematic diagram illustrating the cargo rail plate mounting structure according to this embodiment. In detail, it is a diagram illustrating the cargo rail plate mounting structure when a cargo rail plate 10 is installed on the wall surface portion 3 on the far side as viewed from the car door 5 side.
[0014] As shown in FIG. 2, the cargo rail plate 10 is installed on the wall surface 3. More specifically, the cargo rail plate 10 is installed so as to be parallel to the wall surface 3. The cargo rail plate 10 is a car component for protecting the wall surface 3 inside the car 1 from collisions with luggage, etc. The cargo rail plate 10 may be, for example, a stainless steel plate or an aluminum plate. As will be described in more detail later, the cargo rail plate 10 may be installed not only on the rear wall surface 3 but also on the side wall surface 3.
[0015] The cargo rail plate mounting structure will be described in more detail with reference to Figures 2 to 5. Figure 3 is a perspective view showing the cargo rail plate mounting structure. Figure 4 is a cross-sectional view taken along line AA in Figure 2. Figure 5 is a cross-sectional view taken along line BB in Figure 2.
[0016] The support piece 20 is a support member that supports the cargo rail plate 10 installed on the wall surface 3 inside the car 1. In detail, the support piece 20 is a support member having a support groove 20a into which the end of the cargo rail plate 10 can be inserted, and a plurality of support pieces 20 are installed on the wall surface 3 inside the car 1. As will be described in detail later, the support groove 20a of the support piece 20 may have an opening width that is slightly smaller than the thickness of the cargo rail plate 10.
[0017] The method of attaching the support piece 20 to the wall surface portion 3 is not limited, and may be, for example, welding, screws, adhesive, or the like. When attaching the support piece 20 to the wall surface portion 3, the upper end of the support piece 20 may be 50% or less of the height of the wall surface portion 3. This allows the load railing plate 10 to be easily inserted into the support groove 20a of the support piece 20. The support piece 20 may also be installed on both ends of the wall surface portion 3 in the width direction. This makes it possible to protect the wall surface portion 3 to the maximum extent in the width direction.
[0018] The cargo rail plate mounting structure may include, for example, six support pieces 20 as shown in Figures 2 and 3. The cargo rail plates 10 are indicated by dashed lines in Figure 3. As shown in Figures 2 and 3, the six support pieces 20 are divided into groups of three and are installed in a row with their support grooves 20a facing each other. The number of support pieces 20 may be any number greater than or equal to two. When there are two support pieces 20, the cargo rail plate 10 is fixed by the support grooves 20a of the two opposing support pieces 20. In the example shown in Figure 3, the support pieces 20 have the same height, but the height may be different for each support piece 20. The number, size, etc. of the support pieces 20 can be changed as appropriate depending on the type of elevator car to be installed and the purpose of use.
[0019] The cargo rail plate 10 is fixed to the wall surface 3 by inserting both ends of the cargo rail plate 10 into the opposing support grooves 20a of multiple support pieces 20 installed on the wall surface 3. In detail, the cargo rail plate 10 is fixed to the wall surface 3 by inserting both ends of the cargo rail plate 10 into the opposing support grooves 20a of multiple support pieces 20 installed on the wall surface 3. At this time, the cargo rail plate 10 may be inserted until it contacts the floor surface 2. This makes it possible to protect the entire underside of the wall surface 3. Also, at this time, the width of the support groove 20a of the support piece 20 may have an opening width slightly smaller than the thickness of the cargo rail plate 10. As a result, simply by inserting the cargo rail plate 10, the cargo rail plate 10 and the support groove 20a fit together, making it easy to fix the cargo rail plate 10 to the wall surface 3.
[0020] 4 and 5, the cargo railing plate 10 is fixed without contacting the wall surface 3. This makes it possible to prevent the impact from being transmitted to the wall surface 3 even if cargo or the like collides with the cargo railing plate 10.
[0021] The load rail mounting structure including the intermediate support piece 30 will be described in detail with reference to Figures 6 and 7. Figure 6 is a diagram illustrating the load rail mounting structure including the intermediate support piece 30. Figure 7 is a diagram showing the A1-A1 cross section of Figure 6.
[0022] The load rail plate mounting structure may include an intermediate support piece 30 that is H-shaped in plan view and has support grooves 30a, 30b at both ends, as shown in Figure 7. The support grooves 30a, 30b of the intermediate support piece 30 may have an opening width that is slightly smaller than the thickness of the load rail plate 10, similar to the support groove 20a of the support piece 20.
[0023] The intermediate support piece 30 is installed between multiple support pieces 20, and is installed so that the support grooves 30a, 30b of the intermediate support piece 30 face the support groove 20a of the support piece 20. Furthermore, multiple intermediate support pieces 30 may be installed in the height direction as shown in FIG. 6. By installing the intermediate support pieces 30, it becomes possible to attach multiple load railing plates 10. This makes it possible to protect a wider area of the wall surface portion 3.
[0024] As described above, the cargo rail plate mounting structure having the above configuration makes it easy to remove and install the cargo rail plate 10. This improves the work efficiency of replacing the cargo rail plate 10. In addition, there is no need to attach fixing parts to the cargo rail plate 10, which reduces the manufacturing costs of the cargo rail plate 10.
[0025] Modified examples of the load rail mounting structure will be described using Figures 8 and 9. Figure 8 is a diagram illustrating the load rail mounting structure equipped with side retainers 40 and fixing caps 50. Figure 9 is a perspective view illustrating the load rail mounting structure equipped with side retainers 40 and fixing caps 50.
[0026] In the above embodiment, the cargo rail mounting structure includes a support block 20 having a support groove 20a with an opening width slightly smaller than the thickness of the cargo rail 10. However, the cargo rail mounting structure may include a side retainer 40 having an insertion groove 40a with an opening width greater than the thickness of the cargo rail 10, instead of the support block 20. In this case, the cargo rail mounting structure includes a fixing cap 50 having a fixing groove 50a with an opening width slightly smaller than the thickness of the cargo rail 10.
[0027] The side retainers 40 are installed on the wall 3 so that the cargo rail plates 10 can be inserted. Specifically, they are installed so that the insertion grooves 40a of the side retainers 40 face each other. There are no limitations on the installation method of the side retainers 40, and they can be fixed by welding, screws, adhesives, etc. Furthermore, when fixing the side retainers 40 to the wall 3, the upper end of the side retainers 40 may be 50% or less of the height of the wall 3. This allows the cargo rail plates 10 to be easily inserted into the insertion grooves 40a of the side retainers 40.
[0028] The fixing caps 50 may be installed at one end and the other end of the side retainer 40. That is, they may be fixed to the upper and lower ends of the side retainer 40. The fixing caps 50 may be made of an elastic material such as resin.
[0029] 9, the fixing cap 50 may have a stepped portion 51 having a width slightly larger than the opening width of the insertion groove 40a of the side presser 40. As a result, the fixing cap 50 is fixed to the side presser 40 by fitting the stepped portion 51 into the insertion groove 40a of the side presser 40. If the fixing cap 50 is made of an elastic material, the stepped portion 51 is pressed in the expanding direction by the pressure from the load rail plate 10 fitted into the fixing groove 50a, and the fixing cap 50 is more firmly fixed to the side presser 40. Furthermore, the back portion of the fixing cap 50 and the back portion of the side presser 40 may be fixed by a hinge or the like so as to be capable of being opened and closed.
[0030] The fixing cap 50 fixes the cargo rail plate 10 to the wall surface portion 3 by fitting the fixing groove 50a with the cargo rail plate 10. Furthermore, if a plurality of side retainers 40 are installed in the height direction, the fixing cap 50 may be fixed to the upper end of the side retainer 40 installed at the highest position and the lower end of the side retainer 40 installed at the lowest position.
[0031] A load rail mounting structure in which the support block 20 has a plurality of support grooves 20b, 20c will be described using Fig. 10. Fig. 10 is a plan view showing the load rail mounting structure in which the support block 20 has a plurality of support grooves 20b, 20c.
[0032] 2, the support block 20 has been described as having one support groove 20a, but the support block 20 may have multiple support grooves 20b, 20c. For example, when installing the cargo railing board 10 on three consecutive surfaces of the wall surface portion 3 of the car 1, the cargo railing board 10 may be fixed to the wall surface portion 3 using a support block 20 having two support grooves 20b, 20c.
[0033] As shown in Fig. 10, the load rail plate mounting structure may be provided with a support piece 20 that is L-shaped in plan view at the location where the wall surface portions 3 intersect. Specifically, the support piece 20 may have support grooves 20b, 20c at the tip of the L-shape. This allows one support piece 20 to support two load rail plates 10. In this case, an intermediate support piece 30 may also be provided. Furthermore, the load rail plate mounting structure may be provided with side retainers 40 and fixing caps 50 that are L-shaped in plan view, instead of the support piece 20 that is L-shaped in plan view.
