Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present disclosure relates to an indicator cover for an elevator. [Background technology]

[0002] In conventional elevators, the elevator hall buttons are sometimes covered with a cover to prevent erroneous operation of the elevator hall buttons (see, for example, Patent Document 1). [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2006-36417 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] In elevators, maintenance work is sometimes performed using the equipment housed inside the indicator box and the indicator panel that covers the opening of the box. In this case, maintenance work is performed with the indicator panel removed. Therefore, even if the indicator is covered with a conventional cover, the cover must be removed when performing maintenance work. As a result, there is a problem in that work performed with the indicator panel removed cannot prevent foreign objects such as dust and water from entering the box during work.

[0005] The present disclosure has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and aims to provide an indicator cover that can prevent foreign objects from entering the inside of the box during work that is performed with the indicator panel removed. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] The indicator cover of the present disclosure comprises a support body attached to an indicator box when an indicator panel covering an opening of the indicator box provided on a wall is removed from the opening, and a cover hung from the support body, wherein the support body has a first support part, and when the support body is attached to the indicator box, the first support part is located outside the indicator box, and the cover hung from the first support part covers at least a portion of the opening. [Effects of the Invention]

[0007] The indicator cover according to the present disclosure can prevent foreign matter from entering the inside of the box during work that is performed with the indicator panel removed. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0009] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present disclosure will be described with reference to the drawings. Embodiment 1 FIG. 1 is a side view showing an elevator 100 to which an indicator cover 1 according to a first embodiment is applied.

[0010] A building 150 in which the elevator 100 is installed has an elevator shaft 151 .

[0011] The elevator 100 has a car 101 in which passengers can ride, and a counterweight 103. The car 101 and the counterweight 103 are installed in a hoistway 151 so as to be movable up and down.

[0012] The elevator 100 further includes a hoist 104, a car hoisting wheel 105, a counterweight hoisting wheel 106, a main rope 107, an elevator control device (not shown), and a plurality of indicators 115.

[0013] The hoisting machine 104 and the elevator control device are disposed at an upper portion within the hoistway 151. The hoisting machine 104 has a driving sheave (not shown).

[0014] A car hoisting wheel 105 is disposed below the car 101. A counterweight hoisting wheel 106 is disposed above the counterweight 103.

[0015] Both ends of the main rope 107 are fixed to the building 150. The main rope 107 is wound around the counterweight sheave 106, the drive sheave, and the car sheave 105 in this order from one end of the main rope 107 to the other end of the main rope 107.

[0016] The car 101 and the counterweight 103 can move up and down inside the elevator shaft 151 by the driving force of the hoisting machine 104 .

[0017] An indicator 115 is installed at the landing of each floor. The elevator control device controls the hoist 104 based on signals from each indicator 115, thereby controlling the operation of the car 101. Passengers in the elevator 100 can operate the indicator 115 to move the car 101 to the landing floor where they are waiting.

[0018] A rooftop building 153 is installed on the roof of building 150. Fig. 1 shows a state in which car 101 is stopped at a stopping position corresponding to a boarding point on the roof. Car 101 has entered inside rooftop building 153 and is stopped.

[0019] The rooftop building 153 is formed with a passage opening (not shown) that allows movement between the interior of the car 101 and the rooftop landing when the car 101 is stopped at the stopping position corresponding to the rooftop building 153. The rooftop building 153 is equipped with an elevator door (not shown) that can close the passage opening.

[0020] An indicator 115 is installed on a building wall surface 153a of the rooftop building 153 where the passage opening is formed.

[0021] Fig. 2 is a front view showing the indicator 115 installed on the building wall surface 153a in Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a schematic view showing the indicator panel 116 in Fig. 2 removed from the building wall surface 153a. Fig. 3 is displayed using an XYZ Cartesian coordinate system.

[0022] In the XYZ Cartesian coordinate system, a plane parallel to the building wall surface 153a is defined as the XZ plane. The coordinate axis along the height direction of the building is defined as the Z axis. The axis perpendicular to the Z axis and parallel to the building wall surface 153a is defined as the X axis. The coordinate axis perpendicular to both the X axis and the Z axis is defined as the Y axis.

[0023] The indicator 115 has an indicator panel 116, a display unit 117 that displays information such as the position information of the car 101, an operation button 118 that can operate the elevator 100, and an indicator box 160.

[0024] The indicator panel 116 is supported on an indicator box 160 so as to be detachable from the building wall surface 153a. The indicator panel 116 is a rectangular, flat member. When the indicator 115 is installed on the wall surface and viewed from the front of the indicator 115, the peripheral edges of the indicator panel 116 are made up of a pair of opposing long side edges and a pair of opposing short side edges.

[0025] Each of the pair of long sides is aligned vertically, and each of the pair of short sides is aligned horizontally. When the indicator 115 is attached to the building wall 153a, the upper side in the vertical direction is the upper side of the indicator 115, the indicator panel 116, and the indicator box 160.

[0026] The display unit 117 and the operation buttons 118 are attached to the surface of the indicator panel 116. When the indicator 115 is attached to the building wall surface 153a, the display unit 117 and the operation buttons 118 are exposed to the outside.

[0027] An electric wire 119, which is a bundle of multiple wires electrically connected to a display unit 117 and operation buttons 118, is connected to the back surface of indicator panel 116. Each wire of electric wire 119 is electrically connected to a corresponding terminal block.

[0028] The indicator 115 further has a pair of claw members 120 as indicator mounting portions, and a pair of hook members 121 as indicator holding portions. The pair of claw members 120 and the pair of hook members 121 are provided on the back surface of the indicator panel 116.

[0029] Each of the claw members 120 is a plate-shaped member. Each of the claw members 120 has a curved portion 120a formed therein, which is curved so as to bulge out toward one surface side. One of the pair of claw members 120 is disposed along the upper short edge of the indicator panel 116. The other of the pair of claw members 120 is disposed along the lower short edge of the indicator panel 116.

[0030] The claw member 120 arranged on the upper short edge is arranged on the indicator panel 116 with the curved portion 120a bulging upward. The claw member 120 arranged on the lower short edge is arranged on the indicator panel 116 with the curved portion 120a bulging downward. The claw member 120 arranged on the upper short edge has a notch 120b formed therein.

[0031] Each hook member 121 is a plate-like member bent into an L-shape. Each hook member 121 is arranged along the long side edge of the indicator panel 116. One end of each claw member 120 is attached to the indicator panel 116, and the other end faces downward. The pair of hook members 121 are arranged at the same height relative to the indicator panel 116.

[0032] For example, each hook member 121 can be hooked onto a horizontally placed rod-shaped member, and the indicator panel 116 can be held by the rod-shaped member.

[0033] The indicator box 160 is provided on the building wall surface 153a, which is a wall. The indicator box 160 is a recess formed in the building wall surface 153a. The indicator box 160 has a rectangular parallelepiped shape.

[0034] The indicator box 160 is a space surrounded by a rectangular opening 160a formed in the building wall surface 153a, and a ceiling wall surface 160b, a bottom wall surface 160c, a first wall surface 160d, a second wall surface 160e, and a rear wall surface 160f formed along the sides of the opening 160a.

[0035] The ceiling wall surface 160b and the bottom wall surface 160c are parallel to the horizontal plane and face each other. The first wall surface 160d and the second wall surface 160e are parallel to the vertical plane and face each other. The rear wall surface 160f is parallel to the vertical plane and is parallel to the building wall surface 153a.

[0036] The indicator box 160 is provided with a device 161. The device 161 has a connector 161a connected to a control device of the elevator 100 (not shown). The device 161 also has a number of electrical devices such as signal terminals and power terminals.

[0037] Each wire of a control-side electric wire 162, which is a bundle of multiple wires, is electrically connected to the device 161. The control-side electric wire 162 is electrically connected to a corresponding device of the elevator 100, such as a control device.

[0038] An indicator stay 165 is further disposed on the first wall surface 160d of the indicator box 160. The indicator stay 165 is a plate-shaped member. The indicator stay 165 is supported within the indicator box 160 so as to be movable between a storage position and a holding position.

[0039] The stored position is a position where the indicator stay 165 is stored inside the indicator box 160. The retained position is a position where the indicator stay 165 protrudes outward from the indicator box 160.

[0040] When the indicator stay 165 is in the holding position, the indicator stay 165 protrudes in the normal direction of the building wall surface 153a. Figure 3 shows the indicator stay 165 in the stored position. The movement of the indicator stay 165 will be explained later.

[0041] A bolt 166, which is a protrusion, is provided on the ceiling wall surface 160b of the indicator box 160. The bolt 166 protrudes downward from the ceiling wall surface 160b. The bolt 166 has an axis. The axis of the bolt 166 is arranged along the vertical direction. A screw thread is formed on the outer circumferential surface of the bolt 166.

[0042] The indicator panel 116 is attached to the indicator box 160 by a pair of claw members 120. When the indicator panel 116 is attached to the indicator box, the curved portion 120a of the claw member 120 arranged on the upper side of the indicator panel 116 contacts the ceiling wall surface 160b, and the curved portion 120a of the claw member 120 arranged on the lower side of the indicator panel 116 contacts the bottom wall surface 160c.

[0043] When the indicator panel 116 is attached to the indicator box 160, each claw member 120 comes into contact with the corresponding wall surface of the indicator box 160 and undergoes elastic deformation. As each claw member 120 undergoes elastic deformation, a force is generated that presses the curved portion 120a against the corresponding wall surface.

[0044] The indicator panel 116 is attached to the indicator box 160 by the force of each claw member 120 pressing the curved portion 120a against the corresponding wall surface. This keeps the indicator panel 116 attached to the building wall surface 153a.

[0045] When the indicator panel 116 is placed on the building wall surface 153a, the bolt 166 fits into the notch 120b formed in the claw member 120.

[0046] The indicator panel 116 is larger than the opening 160a. Therefore, when the indicator 115 is placed on the building wall surface 153a, the indicator panel 116 covers the opening 160a and a part of the building wall surface 153a around the opening 160a.

[0047] To remove the indicator panel 116 from the indicator box 160, the indicator panel 116 is pulled out and removed from the indicator box 160.

[0048] Fig. 4 is a schematic diagram showing a state in which the indicator panel 116 of Fig. 3 is hung on an indicator stay 165. A stay shaft 165a that protrudes in the normal direction of the first wall surface 160d is provided on the first wall surface 160d.

[0049] The stay shaft 165a has an axis. The indicator stay 165 is supported by the stay shaft 165a so as to be rotatable about the axis of the stay shaft 165a. The indicator stay 165 can move between a storage position and a holding position by rotating about the axis of the stay shaft 165a.

[0050] The first wall surface 160d is further provided with a stopper mechanism that can maintain the indicator stay 165 in the storage position and the holding position. The stopper mechanism may be, for example, a hook-shaped member that can catch on the indicator stay 165 that is located in the storage position and the indicator stay 165 that is located in the holding position, and stop it in each position.

[0051] That is, by releasing the stopper mechanism, the indicator stay 165 can rotate between the stored position and the holding position. Figure 4 shows the state in which the indicator stay 165 is located at the holding position.

[0052] The removed indicator panel 116 is held by the indicator stay 165 by hooking the pair of hook members 121 onto the indicator stay 165 in the holding position.

[0053] 5 is a perspective view showing the indicator cover 1 of the embodiment 1. The indicator cover 1 includes a support body 10 and a cover 30 attached to the support body 10.

[0054] First, the support body 10 will be described with reference to Fig. 6. Fig. 6 is a perspective view showing the support body 10 of the indicator cover 1 of Fig. 5.

[0055] The support body 10 has a first support portion 11, a second support portion 15, and an attachment portion 16. The first support portion 11 and the second support portion 15 are rod-shaped members. Here, an XYZ Cartesian coordinate system is used.

[0056] In the XYZ Cartesian coordinate system, the coordinate axis along the axial direction of the first support part 11 is defined as the X axis. The coordinate axis perpendicular to the X axis and along the vertical direction is defined as the Z axis. The coordinate axis perpendicular to both the X axis and the Z axis is defined as the Y axis.

[0057] A second support portion attachment portion 11a is formed on the first support portion 11. The second support portion attachment portion 11a is a portion that protrudes from the first support portion 11. A second support portion 15 is rotatably supported on the second support portion attachment portion 11a.

[0058] The second support part 15 is rotatable between a protruding position and a protruding / storage position. When the second support part 15 is located in the protruding position, the axis of the second support part 15 and the axis of the first support part 11 are perpendicular to each other. In other words, when the second support part 15 is located in the protruding position, the axis of the second support part 15 is along the Y-axis.

[0059] When the second support part 15 is located in the protruding storage position, the axis of the second support part 15 and the axis of the first support part 11 are parallel to each other. That is, when the second support part 15 is located in the protruding storage position, the axis of the second support part 15 is along the X-axis. The second support part 15 is rotatable around the Z-axis.

[0060] The second support part mounting part 11a is provided with a protruding member stopping mechanism (not shown). The protruding member stopping mechanism can maintain the second support part 15 in the protruding position or the protruding and retracted position. The support body 10 can be folded by rotating the second support part 15 relative to the first support part 11.

[0061] The mounting portion 16 has a first mounting member 16a, which is a rod-shaped member, a second mounting member 16b, which is also a rod-shaped member, and a mounting portion main body 16c, which is a disk-shaped member. A mounting hole 16d, which is a through hole, is formed in the center of the mounting portion main body 16c.

[0062] One end of the first mounting member 16a is rotatably attached to the first support part 11. The axis of the first mounting member 16a is along the Z axis. The first mounting member 16a is rotatable around the Z axis relative to the first support part 11.

[0063] A second mounting member 16b is attached to the other end of the first mounting member 16a. The axis of the second mounting member 16b and the axis of the first mounting member 16a are perpendicular to each other. That is, the first mounting member 16a and the second mounting member 16b are connected to each other in an L-shape. The first mounting member 16a and the second mounting member 16b form an arm portion.

[0064] The connected first and second mounting members 16a and 16b have their respective axes arranged along the YZ plane, and therefore the arm portion is formed along the plane.

[0065] An attachment main body 16c is attached to the end of the second attachment member 16b opposite to the end to which the first attachment member 16a is attached. The axis of the attachment hole 16d is along the Z-axis direction.

[0066] The mounting portion 16 is rotatable about the axis of the first mounting member 16a between the mounting position and the mounted storage position. When the mounting portion 16 is located at the mounting position, the plane along which the arm portion extends is parallel to the YZ plane. In other words, when the mounting portion 16 is located at the mounting position, the plane along which the arm portion extends is perpendicular to the axis of the first support portion 11.

[0067] When the mounting part 16 is in the mounting storage position, the plane along which the arm part is formed is parallel to the XZ plane. That is, when the mounting part 16 is in the mounting storage position, the plane along which the arm part is formed is parallel to the axis of the first support part 11.

[0068] The first support part 11 is provided with an attachment part stopping mechanism (not shown). The attachment part stopping mechanism can maintain the attachment part 16 in the attachment position or the attachment storage position. The support body 10 can be folded by rotating the attachment part 16 relative to the first support part 11.

[0069] 5, the description will continue. The cover 30 has a sheet-like cover main body 31 and a cover connecting member 32.

[0070] A support attachment portion 31a is formed at the upper end of the cover body 31. The support attachment portion 31a is sewn with the first support portion 11 wrapped around it. This connects the support attachment portion 31a to the first support portion 11. Note that other well-known configurations may be used to connect the support attachment portion 31a and the first support portion 11.

[0071] The cover body 31 is made of a material such as cloth or vinyl. The cover body 31 has a first cover portion 33 and a second cover portion 34. The first cover portion 33 is disposed along the XZ plane.

[0072] The second cover portion 34 is disposed so as to protrude from the middle of the first cover portion 33. The second cover portion 34 is disposed along the YZ plane. That is, the second cover portion 34 is disposed along a plane including a straight line parallel to the normal to the surface of the first cover portion 33.

[0073] The first cover part 33 has an opening cover part 33a and a wall cover part 33b arranged side by side along the same plane, and the second cover part 34 has a front cover part 34a and a back cover part 34b facing each other.

[0074] The opening cover portion 33a and the front cover portion 34a are arranged adjacent to each other. Adjacent ends of the opening cover portion 33a along the Z axis and the adjacent ends of the front cover portion 34a along the Z axis are connected to each other.

[0075] The wall surface cover portion 33b and the rear surface cover portion 34b are arranged adjacent to each other. The adjacent ends of the wall surface cover portion 33b along the Z axis and the adjacent ends of the rear surface cover portion 34b along the Z axis are connected to each other.

[0076] The upper end of the front covering portion 34a and the upper end of the back covering portion 34b are connected to each other. The portion where the upper end of the front covering portion 34a and the upper end of the back covering portion 34b are connected is the connection portion 34c.

[0077] A second support portion 15 is disposed inside the second cover portion 34, that is, between the front cover portion 34a and the back cover portion 34b, so as to correspond to the connection portion 34c.

[0078] A slit 31d is formed in an end of the second cover portion 34 along the Z axis that is not connected to the first cover portion 33. That is, the end of the front cover portion 34a along the Z axis that is not connected to the end of the opening portion cover portion 33a and the end of the back cover portion 34b along the Z axis that is not connected to the end of the wall surface cover portion 33b are not connected, and a slit 31d is formed therebetween.

[0079] A cover connecting member 32 is disposed between the end of the front covering portion 34a where the slit 31d is formed and the end of the back covering portion 34b. The cover connecting member 32 is a hook-and-loop fastener. That is, the hook-and-loop fastener is disposed on the opposing surfaces of the front covering portion 34a and the back covering portion 34b. This allows the end of the front covering portion 34a where the slit 31d is formed to be detachable from the end of the back covering portion 34b.

[0080] The second cover portion 34 further has a window member 35. The window member 35 is made of a transparent material such as vinyl. The front cover portion 34a has a window portion 34d, which is an opening. The window member 35 closes the window portion 34d.

[0081] The indicator cover 1 can be folded when not in use. The second support part 15 and the mounting part 16 are rotated along the axis of the first support part 11. That is, the second support part 15 is positioned in the protruding storage position, and the mounting part 16 is positioned in the mounted storage position.

[0082] With the second support portion 15 and the attachment portion 16 arranged along the first support portion 11, the cover 30 can be wrapped around the first support portion 11, the second support portion 15, and the attachment portion 16.

[0083] The cover 30 can be wrapped around the first support part 11, the second support part 15, and the mounting part 16 while still attached to the first support part 11. This puts the indicator cover 1 into a folded state.

[0084] Fig. 7 is a schematic diagram showing the indicator cover 1 of Fig. 5 attached to the indicator box 160. In Fig. 7, the indicator box 160, indicator stay 165, indicator panel 116, and control device connecting cable 200 are represented by dashed lines.

[0085] The control device connecting cable 200 is a cable that can be connected to a connector 161 a that is one of the devices 161 arranged inside the indicator box 160 .

[0086] FIG. 7 shows a state in which the indicator panel 116 is held by the indicator stay 165 and the control device connection cable 200 is pulled out from the inside of the indicator box 160 to the outside.

[0087] The indicator cover 1 is attached to the indicator box 160 in a state where the indicator panel 116 is held by the indicator stay 165 and the control device connection cable 200 is pulled out from the inside to the outside of the indicator box 160.

[0088] Fig. 8 is a schematic diagram showing a state in which the support 10 of Fig. 5 is fixed to the bolt 166. In Fig. 8, the cover 30 of the indicator cover 1, the equipment 161 in the indicator box 160, and the indicator panel 116 held by the indicator stay 165 are not shown.

[0089] To attach the indicator cover 1 to the indicator box 160, the mounting portion 16 must be fixed to the bolt 166 as shown in FIG.

[0090] The support body 10 is arranged so that the bolt 166 fits into the mounting hole 16d. A thumbscrew 201, which is an indicator fixing member, is fastened to the tip of the bolt 166 that passes through the mounting hole 16d. The mounting body 16c is fixed by being sandwiched between the thumbscrew 201 and the ceiling wall surface 160b.

[0091] The first support part 11, which is connected via an L-shaped arm part to the mounting part main body 16c fixed inside the indicator box 160, is positioned outside the indicator box 160 and along the building wall surface 153a above the indicator box 160.

[0092] Returning to Figure 7, the explanation will continue. When the support body 10 is attached to the bolts 166 of the indicator box 160, the first support part 11 is located outside the indicator box 160. The cover 30 suspended from the first support part 11 covers the opening 160a.

[0093] When the indicator cover 1 is attached to the indicator box 160, the first cover part 33 covers the opening 160a and the building wall surface 153a around the opening 160a. The second cover part 34 covers the indicator panel 116 held by the indicator stay 165.

[0094] The indicator panel 116 is sandwiched between the front cover portion 34a and the back cover portion 34b and covered thereby. That is, the cover 30 covers the opening 160a, the building wall surface 153a around the opening 160a, and the indicator panel 116.

[0095] The control device connecting cable 200, which is connected to the connector 161a inside the indicator box 160, extends from inside the indicator box 160 to the outside through the slit 31d. The slit 31d is closed by the cover connecting member 32 so as to sandwich the control device connecting cable 200.

[0096] Fig. 9 is a schematic diagram showing a state during work using the indicator cover 1 of Fig. 5. In Fig. 9, the indicator box 160, the device 161, the control device connecting cable 200, part of the operation button 118, and the outline of the indicator panel 116 are represented by dashed lines.

[0097] In maintenance work, a portable terminal (not shown) is connected to connector 161a inside indicator box 160, and the control device of elevator 100 is controlled via connector 161a. Therefore, the worker removes indicator panel 116 from building wall 153a, ensuring access to the inside of indicator box 160.

[0098] Even when the indicator panel 116 is removed from the building wall surface 153 a, each wire of the electric wire 119 remains electrically connected to the corresponding device 161 .

[0099] An operator gives commands to the control device using a portable terminal to control the operation of the hoist 104 and the car 101. The status of the hoist 104 and other equipment of the elevator 100 is displayed on the display unit 117. For this reason, the operator holds the indicator panel 116 on the indicator stay 165 and performs work while checking the display unit 117.

[0100] Therefore, during maintenance work or other such work, the indicator panel 116 removed from the building wall surface 153a is held by the indicator stay 165. Also, the control device connection cable 200 connected to the connector 161a is pulled out from the indicator box 160. In this state, the indicator cover 1 is used.

[0101] To use the indicator cover 1, it is necessary to change it from a folded state to a usable state. The usable state of the indicator cover 1 is when the cover 30 wrapped around the support body 10 is unwound, the second support part 15 is rotated to be positioned at the protruding position, and the mounting part 16 is rotated to be positioned at the mounted position.

[0102] The support body 10 of the indicator cover 1, which is ready for use, is attached to the indicator box 160. The support body 10 is fixed with a bolt 166 and a thumbscrew 201. As a result, the cover 30 covers the opening 160a, the building wall surface 153a around the opening 160a, and the indicator panel 116 hung on the indicator stay 165.

[0103] The control device connection cable 200 passes between the front cover portion 34a and the back cover portion 34b and is led out to the outside of the indicator cover 1. The slit 31d is closed while sandwiching the control device connection cable 200. The slit 31d is closed by the cover connecting member 32.

[0104] The display on the display unit 117 is visible through the window member 35 that covers the window portion 34d. That is, when the second cover portion 34 covers the indicator panel 116, the display unit 117 of the indicator panel 116 is located within the range of the window portion 34d when the front cover portion 34a is viewed from outside the second cover portion 34.

[0105] In this way, the indicator cover 1 can be used during operations such as maintenance work.

[0106] According to the indicator cover 1 of the first embodiment, the support 10 is attached to the indicator box 160 in a state in which the indicator panel 116 covering the opening 160a of the indicator box 160 provided on the building wall surface 153a is removed from the opening 160a. Furthermore, when the support 10 is attached to the indicator box 160, the first support portion 11 of the support 10 is positioned outside the indicator box 160, and the cover 30 suspended from the first support portion 11 covers at least a portion of the opening 160a. This allows the indicator cover 1 to cover at least a portion of the opening 160a during work such as maintenance. Therefore, when work is performed with the indicator panel 116 removed, it is possible to prevent foreign matter such as dust and water from entering the indicator box 160. Furthermore, by using the indicator cover 1, work such as maintenance can be performed even during rain.

[0107] According to the indicator cover 1 of the first embodiment, when the support body 10 is attached to the indicator box 160, the first support portion 11 is located outside the indicator box 160. Furthermore, the first support portion 11 is located along the building wall surface 153a above the opening 160a. As a result, the cover 30 is outside the indicator box 160 and hangs from the vertically upper side of the opening 160a. Therefore, when work is performed with the indicator panel 116 removed, rain falling from above can be prevented from entering the indicator box 160. Therefore, foreign matter such as dust and water can be prevented from entering the indicator box 160 during work. Furthermore, by using the indicator cover 1, work such as maintenance work can be performed even during rain.

[0108] According to the indicator cover 1 of the first embodiment, when the indicator panel 116 is removed from the opening 160a, the indicator panel 116 can be held by the indicator box 160 via the indicator stay 165. The cover 30 has a first cover portion 33 and a second cover portion 34. The indicator panel 116 is held by the indicator box 160 via the indicator stay 165, and the support body 10 is attached to the indicator box 160. In this state, the first cover portion 33 suspended from the first support portion 11 covers at least a portion of the opening 160a. The second cover portion 34 suspended from the first support portion 11 covers the indicator panel 116. This allows the opening 160a to be covered by the first cover portion 33, and the indicator panel 116 held by the indicator stay 165 of the indicator box 160 to be covered by the second cover portion 34. Therefore, when work is performed with the indicator panel 116 removed, it is possible to reduce the adhesion of foreign matter such as dust and water to the indicator panel 116. It is also possible to prevent foreign matter such as dust and water that has adhered to the indicator panel 116 from entering the inside of the indicator box 160. Furthermore, by using the indicator cover 1, it is possible to perform work such as maintenance work even when it is raining.

[0109] According to the indicator cover 1 of the first embodiment, the second cover portion 34 has a front cover portion 34a and a rear cover portion 34b that face each other. At least a portion of the upper end of the front cover portion 34a is connected to at least a portion of the upper end of the rear cover portion 34b via a connecting portion 34c. When the second cover portion 34 covers the indicator panel 116, the indicator panel 116 is sandwiched between the front cover portion 34a and the rear cover portion 34b. This reduces the gap between the second cover portion 34 and the indicator panel 116 when the indicator panel 116 is covered by the second cover portion 34. This reduces the gap, thereby preventing foreign matter such as dust and water from entering the indicator box 160 during work performed with the indicator panel 116 removed. Furthermore, by using the indicator cover 1, maintenance work can be performed even during rain.

[0110] According to the indicator cover 1 of the first embodiment, at least a portion of the end of the front cover portion 34a, other than the connecting portion 34c, that is aligned in the vertical direction, is detachably attached to the corresponding end of the rear cover portion 34b. This allows at least a portion of the end of the front cover portion 34a and the end of the rear cover portion 34b to be attached to each other. This reduces the gap between the end of the front cover portion 34a and the end of the rear cover portion 34b. This reduces the intrusion of foreign matter, such as dust and water, into the indicator box 160 during work performed with the indicator panel 116 removed. Furthermore, the use of the indicator cover 1 allows maintenance work to be performed even during rain. Furthermore, this allows the end of the front cover portion 34a and the end of the rear cover portion 34b to be spaced apart during installation work. This improves the efficiency of the installation work of the indicator cover 1. Furthermore, by separating the end of the front cover portion 34a from the end of the back cover portion 34b during work, it becomes easier to visually check the inside of the indicator box 160 through the indicator cover 1 and to perform work, thereby improving work efficiency.

[0111] According to the indicator cover 1 of the first embodiment, the front cover portion 34a has a window portion 34d, which is an opening covered by a transparent window member 35. Furthermore, when the second cover portion 34 covers the indicator panel 116, the display portion 117 of the indicator panel 116 is located within the range of the window portion 34d when the front cover portion 34a is viewed from outside the second cover portion 34. This allows a technician to check the display content of the display portion 117 from outside the indicator cover 1 during work. This improves work efficiency. This also eliminates the need to flip over the cover body 31 to check the display portion 117 of the indicator panel 116. Therefore, when work is performed with the indicator panel 116 removed, it is possible to prevent foreign matter such as dust and water from entering the indicator box 160 during work. Furthermore, using the indicator cover 1 allows maintenance work to be performed even during rain.

[0112] According to the indicator cover 1 of the first embodiment, the support body 10 further includes a second support portion 15 connected to the first support portion 11. The second support portion 15 is disposed between the front cover portion 34a and the rear cover portion 34b. This allows the front cover portion 34a and the rear cover portion 34b to be supported by the second support portion 15. This prevents the second cover portion 34 from collapsing under its own weight and interfering with the indicator panel 116. It also prevents the second cover portion 34 from being blown by wind and interfering with the indicator panel 116.

[0113] According to the indicator cover 1 of the first embodiment, the second support part 15 is rotatably connected to the first support part 11, and the support body 10 can be folded by rotating the second support part 15 relative to the first support part 11. This allows the indicator cover 1 to be made compact during transportation and storage. This reduces the workload of the worker when moving the indicator cover 1.

[0114] According to the indicator cover 1 of the first embodiment, the support body 10 further has an attachment portion 16 connected to the first support portion 11, and the first support portion 11 is attached to the inside of the indicator box 160 via the attachment portion 16. This eliminates the need to prepare a separate attachment structure. Therefore, the worker can easily use the indicator cover 1. This reduces the workload of the worker when moving around.

[0115] According to the indicator cover 1 of the first embodiment, the mounting portion 16 includes a first mounting member 16a connected to the first support portion 11 and a second mounting member 16b connected to the first mounting member 16a. The mounting portion 16 further includes a mounting portion main body 16c connected to the end of the second mounting member 16b opposite the end connected to the first mounting member 16a. The mounting portion main body 16c has a mounting hole 16d, which is a through-hole. A bolt 166 protruding downward from the ceiling wall surface 160b inside the indicator box 160 is provided on the ceiling wall surface 160b. The first support portion 11 is attached to the indicator box 160 by inserting the bolt 166 into the mounting hole 16d and fastening the bolt 166 to the mounting portion main body 16c. This allows the indicator cover 1 to be easily attached to the indicator box 160. Therefore, an operator can easily use the indicator cover 1. Therefore, the workload imposed on the worker when moving can be reduced.

[0116] According to the indicator cover 1 of the first embodiment, the attachment portion 16 is rotatably connected to the first support portion 11, and the support body 10 can be folded by rotating the attachment portion 16 relative to the first support portion 11. This allows the indicator cover 1 to be made compact during transportation and storage. This reduces the workload of the worker when moving the indicator cover 1.

[0117] In the first embodiment, the support body 10 has the second support portion 15. However, this is not limited to this. For example, the support body 10 does not have to have the second support portion 15. Even if the second support portion 15 is not provided, the second cover portion 34 can cover the indicator panel 116 held by the indicator stay 165.

[0118] Furthermore, in the first embodiment, the cover main body 31 has the second cover portion 34. However, this is not limited to this. However, this is not limited to this. For example, the cover main body 31 does not have to have the second cover portion 34. For example, the first cover portion 33 may be made larger so that the opening 160a, the building wall surface 153a around the opening 160a, and the indicator panel 116 held by the indicator stay 165 are covered by the first cover portion 33 alone.

[0119] Furthermore, in the first embodiment, the mounting portion 16 of the support body 10 is disposed on the building wall surface 153a by fastening a bolt 166 inserted into a mounting hole 16d formed in the mounting portion main body 16c with a thumbscrew 201. However, this is not limited to this. The configuration of the mounting portion 16 can be selected as appropriate. For example, the mounting portion 16 may be configured as a tension rod. The support body 10 may be fixed by a pair of pressing members provided on the mounting portion 16 pressing against the opposing first wall surface 160d and second wall surface 160e of the indicator box 160. Also, for example, a magnet may be provided on the mounting portion 16. The support body 10 may be fixed to the indicator box 160 via the mounting portion 16 by the magnetic force of a magnet provided on the mounting portion 16.

[0120] Furthermore, in the first embodiment, the second support portion 15 and the attachment portion 16 are rotatable relative to the first support portion 11. However, this is not limited to this. For example, the second support portion 15 and the attachment portion 16 may be bendable relative to the first support portion 11. That is, the second support portion 15 and the attachment portion 16 may be displaced relative to the first support portion 11 so that the second support portion 15 and the attachment portion 16 are aligned with the first support portion 11. This allows the cover 30 to be wrapped around the first support portion 11 with the second support portion 15 and the attachment portion 16 aligned therewith without being bulky.

[0121] In the first embodiment, the first support portion 11 and the second support portion 15 are rod-shaped members. However, this is not limited to this. The first support portion 11 and the second support portion 15 may be structures having any suitable shape.

[0122] In addition, in the first embodiment, the indicator 115 has a pair of claw members 120 as an indicator mounting portion. However, this is not limited to this. Any appropriate configuration can be used for the indicator mounting portion. Furthermore, the mounting position of the indicator mounting portion relative to the indicator panel 116 may be set as appropriate.

[0123] In the first embodiment, the cover connecting member 32 is a hook-and-loop fastener. However, the cover connecting member 32 is not limited to this. Any appropriate configuration can be used for the cover connecting member 32.

[0124] Furthermore, in the first embodiment, the indicator cover 1 covers the opening 160a, the building wall surface 153a around the opening 160a, and the indicator panel 116. However, this is not limited to this. The cover 30 may cover at least a portion of the opening 160a. For example, the indicator cover 1 may not cover the lower part of the opening 160a.
