Description

Technical Field

[0001] This specification relates to an elevator car operation panel and a method for installing an elevator car operation panel.

Background Art

[0002] Conventionally, an elevator car operation panel has sometimes been installed flush with the wall surface of the sleeve wall or side wall of the elevator car. The elevator car operation panel constitutes the design inside the elevator car, and there is a demand to prevent screws and the like from being visible on the design surface. Also, when making it flush with the wall surface of the car, it is necessary to prevent unevenness from occurring between the wall surface and the surface of the elevator car operation panel as much as possible. As a method of constructing such an elevator car operation panel, the three parts of the upper panel, middle panel, and lower panel on the surface of the elevator car operation panel are divided into two parts: a part formed by integrating the middle panel and the lower panel, and a part forming the upper panel. Then, a Y-shaped notch that opens toward the car wall provided in a reinforcing member that protrudes toward the back surface (car wall side) of the part integrating the middle panel and the lower panel is hooked onto a pin protruding from the side wall of a box attached to the elevator car wall so as to form a groove shape, and is pulled down from above to below for fixing (see Patent Document 1). After that, the part forming the upper panel is inserted from the direction facing the car wall. This structure is established by attaching the part forming the upper panel after attaching the part integrating the middle panel and the lower panel, thereby securing a space for pulling down the part integrating the middle panel and the lower panel from above to below. By the way, according to the structure in Patent Document 1, for a typical elevator car size, the integrated middle panel and lower panel component is about 2000 mm long, and there was a problem in terms of workability in lifting and pulling down the heavy integrated middle panel and lower panel component while aligning the multiple Y-shaped cutouts cut in the vertical direction with pins.
