[0009] Hereinafter, embodiments of the elevator and elevator manufacturing method of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. In each embodiment described below, the same reference numerals are used for the same components, and redundant descriptions are omitted.

[0010] ≪First Embodiment≫ <Elevator> Figure 1 is an external view of the elevator car 1 according to the first embodiment. Figure 2 is a schematic horizontal cross-sectional view of the elevator car 1 according to the first embodiment, and Figure 3 is an internal view of the elevator car 1 according to the first embodiment. The elevator car 1 shown in these figures is equipped with a car door 10 on one side for passengers to get on and off. A control panel [P] for passengers to operate the elevator car 1 and car door 10 is provided on a car side panel 20 located close to the car door 10, facing inward. The control panel [P] is attached to the car side panel 20 while housed in a cover member 40 (see Figures 1 and 2).

[0011] Here, the car side panel 20 on which the control panel [P] is located is one of several car side panel materials that make up the side of the elevator car 1, and in this example, it is assumed to be a plate-shaped material that makes up a part of the side on which the car door 10 is provided. Next, the mounting structure of the control panel [P] to such a car side panel 20 will be described.

[0012] <Mounting structure of control panel [P]> FIG. 4 is an exploded perspective view showing an example of the mounting structure of the operation panel according to the first embodiment. FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view of the main part showing an example of the mounting structure of the operation panel according to the first embodiment, corresponding to the A-A' cross-section in FIG. 1. In FIGS. 4 and 5, the mounting portion of the operation panel [P] with respect to the elevator car is composed of a car side plate 20, a cover member 40, a bracket 50 (shown only in FIG. 4), and an adhesive layer 60 (shown only in FIG. 5). These are as follows.

[0013] [car side plate 20] As described above, the car side plate 20 is one of the plurality of car side plates constituting the side peripheral wall of the car 1 (see FIGS. 1 and 2). Here, as an example, it is a plate member constituting a part of the side surface where the car door 10 is provided. This car side plate 20 has a substantially rectangular main surface portion 201. The car side plate 20 also has two side surface portions 202 extending in one direction substantially perpendicular to the main surface portion 201 from the edge portions on both sides of the main surface portion 201. The car side plate 20 also has two top surface portions 203 extending in one direction substantially perpendicular to the main surface portion 201 from the upper and lower edge portions of the main surface portion 201. The side surface portions 202 and the top surface portions 203 are portions bent outward from the main surface portion 201 toward the outside of the car 1. Thereby, the car side plate 20 is formed in a box shape.

[0014] Such a car side plate 20 is arranged with the surface of the main surface portion 201 facing outward in the box shape facing the inside of the car 1, the main surface portion 201 and the side surface portions 202 being substantially perpendicular, and the top surface portions 203 being substantially horizontal. An opening 201a is provided at the center of the main surface portion 201, and the operation surface of the operation panel [P] is arranged opposite to this opening 201a.

[0015] Also, one of the two side surface portions 202 of the car side plate 20 becomes a design plate 202a exposed inside the car 1 (see FIGS. 2 and 3). From the edge of this design plate 202a, a fixing portion 204 is extended toward the inside of the box shape so as to be substantially parallel to the main surface portion 201 by folding back the edge of the design plate 202a.

[0016] This fixing portion 204 has multiple fixing holes 24h (two in this case) for fixing the bracket 50, which will be described later. This ensures aesthetic appeal by eliminating the need to provide fixing holes 24h on the decorative plate 202a that is exposed inside the elevator car 1. In contrast, the other of the two side portions 202 is used as the fixing side portion 202b for the bracket 50. This fixing side portion 202b is also provided with multiple fixing holes 22h (two in this case) for fixing the bracket 50.

[0017] [Cover member 40] The cover member 40 covers and holds the control panel [P] from the back, covering the control panel [P] from the outside of the elevator car 1 and is fixed to the main surface portion 201 of the elevator car side plate 20. Such a cover member 40 has a rectangular main surface portion 401. This main surface portion 401 is slightly larger than the opening 201a of the main surface portion 201 on the elevator car side plate 20.

[0018] The cover member 40 also has two side portions 402 extending from both edges of the main surface portion 401 in one direction substantially perpendicular to the main surface portion 401. The cover member 40 also has two top portions 403 extending from the vertical edges of the main surface portion 401 in one direction substantially perpendicular to the main surface portion 401. As a result, the cover member 40 is molded into a box shape for housing the control panel [P], and the box-shaped portion serves as a housing for housing the control panel [P].

[0019] In such a cover member 40, the two top surfaces 403 serve as fixing points for the bracket 50, which will be described next. Each of these top surfaces 403, which serve as fixing points, is provided with a plurality of fixing holes 43h (two in this case) for fixing the bracket 50, which will be described next.

[0020] Furthermore, in the cover member 40, reinforcing plates 404 extend from the edges of the two side portions 402. As shown in Figure 5, the reinforcing plate 404 has a bonding portion 404a that extends substantially perpendicular to the side portion 402 from the edge of the side portion 402, and a folded portion 404b that extends from the edge of the bonding portion 404a in a direction opposite to the side portion 402.

[0021] Of these, the bonded portion 404a consists of the edges on both sides of the housing portion for the control panel [P] in the cover member 40 that have been folded along the main surface portion 201 of the car side plate 20. This bonded portion 404a is bonded to the main surface portion 201 of the car side plate 20 from the outside of the car 1 via the adhesive layer 60 which will be described later. The folded portion 404b is the portion that has been folded from the bonded portion 404a toward the outside of the car 1, and it strengthens the reinforced state of the cover member 40 by the reinforcing plate 404.

[0022] Furthermore, leaf springs 40a are provided inside the box-shaped interior of the cover member 40, fixed to the two side portions 402. These leaf springs 40a are for holding the control panel [P] inserted into the cover member 40 inside the cover member 40.

[0023] Here, the depth [d] of the box shape (storage portion) in the cover member 40 is designed such that, when the cover member 40 is attached to the car side plate 20, the operating surface of the control panel [P] housed inside is in a predetermined position relative to the main surface portion 201 of the car side plate 20. In the example shown in Figure 5, for example, the height position of the operating surface of the control panel [P] is equal to the height position of the main surface portion 201 of the car side plate 20, and the protrusion height [t] of the operating surface of the control panel [P] from the main surface portion 201 of the car side plate 20 is zero.

[0024] Furthermore, the control panel [P] held by the cover member 40 is not limited to having a flat operating surface. Figure 6 is a cross-sectional view of the main part showing an example of a modified control panel in the mounting structure of the control panel according to the first embodiment. As shown in Figure 6, the operating surface of the control panel [P'] may have a shape in which the central part protrudes higher. As an example in this case, the depth [d] of the box shape in the cover member 40 is designed so that when the cover member 40 is attached to the car side plate 20, the protrusion height [t] of the operating surface of the control panel [P] from the main surface portion 201 of the car side plate 20 is a predetermined value. In the following, as in the description above, the control panel [P] shown in Figure 5 and the control panel [P'] shown in Figure 6 will be used as representatives, and the control panel [P] shown in Figure 5 will be used as an example to describe each configuration.

[0025] [Bracket 50] As shown in Figure 4, the bracket 50 is a member fixed to the car side plate 20 and the cover member 40, and is positioned opposite the two top surfaces 403 of the cover member 40. These brackets 50 have a cover member fixing portion 501 positioned opposite the top surfaces 403 of the cover member 40. The brackets 50 also have a first car side plate fixing portion 502 and a second car side plate fixing portion 503 that extend perpendicularly from the edge of the cover member fixing portion 501. The first car side plate fixing portion 502 is the portion that is fixed opposite the fixing side surface portion 202b of the car side plate 20. The second car side plate fixing portion 503 is the portion that is fixed opposite the fixing portion 204 of the car side plate 20. These first car side plate fixing portion 502 and second car side plate fixing portion 503 are positioned perpendicular to each other. Furthermore, the bracket 50 has a reinforcing portion 504 that extends perpendicularly from the edge of the cover member fixing portion 501 to the cover member fixing portion 501 at a position sandwiched between the first car side plate fixing portion 502 and the second car side plate fixing portion 503.

[0026] In such a bracket 50, the cover member fixing portion 501 is provided with a fixing hole 51h. This fixing hole 51h corresponds to the fixing hole 43h in the top surface portion 403 of the cover member 40.

[0027] Furthermore, the first car side panel fixing portion 502 is provided with a fixing hole 52h. This fixing hole 52h corresponds to the fixing hole 22h provided in the fixing side portion 202b of the car side panel 20. In addition, the second car side panel fixing portion 503 is provided with a fixing hole 53h. This fixing hole 53h corresponds to the fixing hole 24h provided in the fixing portion 204 of the car side panel 20.

[0028] Furthermore, the two brackets 50 mentioned above have a symmetrical configuration.

[0029] [Adhesive layer 60] As shown in Figure 5, the adhesive layer 60 fixes the car side plate 20 and the cover member 40 that holds the control panel [P] by adhesion. This adhesive layer 60 is sandwiched between the main surface portion 201 of the car side plate 20 and the bonding portion 404a of the reinforcing plate 404 of the cover member 40, thereby bonding and fixing the car side plate 20 and the cover member 40 together. Such an adhesive layer 60 may be, for example, double-sided tape or may consist of a layer of adhesive.

[0030] <Elevator manufacturing method> Figure 7 shows the steps for manufacturing an elevator according to the first embodiment. Next, based on Figure 7, the procedure for fixing the control panel [P] to the elevator car 1 will be described as a method for manufacturing an elevator according to the first embodiment.

[0031] First, as shown in the process diagram (1) of Figure 7, the cover member 40 and the control panel [P] are prepared. At this time, as shown in Figure 4, the bracket 50 is fixed to the cover member 40. The cover member 40 and the bracket 50 are fixed together using bolts and nuts (not shown here), with the fixing holes 51h in the bracket 50 corresponding to the fixing holes 43h in the cover member 40.

[0032] Next, as shown in the process diagram (2) of Figure 7, the control panel [P] is fitted into the box-shaped interior of the cover member 40. At this time, the control panel [P] is pushed all the way to the back of the cover member 40 and held in place by being sandwiched between the leaf springs 40a of the cover member 40.

[0033] Next, as shown in the process diagram (3) of Figure 7, an adhesive layer 60 is provided on the bonding portion 404a of the cover member 40, and the control panel [P] held by the cover member 40 is positioned toward the opening 201a of the main surface portion 201 of the car side plate 20. The adhesive layer 60 may also be provided in a position surrounding the opening 201a of the car side plate 20. In this state, the control panel [P] held by the cover member 40 is fitted into the opening 201a of the car side plate 20. As a result, the adhesive layer 60 is sandwiched between the main surface portion 201 of the car side plate 20 and the bonding portion 404a of the cover member 40, and the cover member 40 holding the control panel [P] and the car side plate 20 are bonded together via the adhesive layer 60.

[0034] Subsequently, as shown in Figure 4, the bracket 50 is fixed to the car side plate 20. At this time, the fixing hole 52h provided in the bracket 50 is aligned with the fixing hole 22h provided in the fixing side portion 202b of the car side plate 20, and the fixing hole 53h provided in the bracket 50 is aligned with the fixing hole 24h provided in the fixing portion 204 of the car side plate 20, and fixing is carried out using a bolt and nut which are not shown here.

[0035] As a result, an elevator is obtained in which a control panel [P] is provided in the elevator car 1, as explained earlier using Figures 1 to 5.

[0036] <Effects of the First Embodiment> According to the first embodiment described above, the cover member 40 of the control panel [P] has a bonding portion 404a to the car side plate 20, and this bonding portion 404a is formed integrally with the cover member 40 as a reinforcing plate 404. Therefore, there is no need to provide separate reinforcing members, and the number of parts and man-hours required to attach the control panel [P] to the car side plate 20 can be reduced. As a result, it is possible to improve the manufacturing efficiency of elevators.

[0037] Furthermore, the cover member 40 into which the control panel [P] is fitted is attached to the main surface portion 201 of the cage side plate 20. Therefore, as shown in Figures 5 and 6, the protrusion height [t] of the operating surface of the control panels [P] and [P'] relative to the main surface portion 201 of the cage side plate 20 is determined by the depth of the box shape of the cover member 40 and the shape of the control panels [P] and [P']. Consequently, there is no need to adjust the protrusion height [t] when fixing each component when installing the control panels [P] and [P'], improving the accuracy of the protrusion height [t] and reducing the effort required when installing the control panels [P] and [P'], thereby improving manufacturing efficiency.

[0038] <<Variations of the First Embodiment>> Next, modifications of the first and second embodiments will be described. Figure 8 is a cross-sectional view of the main part showing a modification of the embodiment, and Figure 9 is a cross-sectional view of the main part showing an example in which the control panel has been changed in a modification of the first embodiment. As shown in Figures 8 and 9, the reinforcing plate 404' of the cover member 40' that houses the control panels [P], [P'] may be, for example, only a bonded portion 404a that extends substantially perpendicular to the side portion 402. For example, if the control panels [P], [P'] are small, sufficient reinforcing strength can be obtained even if the reinforcing plate 404' is only a bonded portion 404a.

[0039] ≪Second Embodiment≫ Figure 10 is a view from above of the elevator car 1' according to the second embodiment. The difference between the elevator car 1' of the second embodiment shown in this figure and the elevator car 1' of the first embodiment lies in the mounting position of the control panel [P] for operating the car door 10. That is, the control panel [P] is located on a side of the elevator car 1' that is different from the side on which the car door 10 is installed. The control panel [P] is housed in a cover member 40 and attached to the car side panel 20'. The car side panel 20' on which the control panel [P] is located is one of a plurality of car side panel materials that make up the side of the elevator car 1', and here, as an example, it is a plate-shaped material that makes up a part of the side adjacent to the side on which the car door 10 is installed. Next, the mounting structure of the control panel [P] to such a car side panel 20' will be described.

[0040] <Mounting structure of control panel [P]> Figure 11 is an exploded perspective view showing an example of the mounting structure of the control panel according to the second embodiment. Figure 12 is a cross-sectional view of the main part showing an example of the mounting structure of the control panel according to the second embodiment. The mounting portion of the control panel [P] to the elevator car shown in Figures 11 and 12 consists of a car side plate 20', a cover member 40, a bracket 50' (shown only in Figure 11), and an adhesive layer 60 (shown only in Figure 12). Of these, the configuration of the car side plate 20' and the bracket 50' differs from that described in the first embodiment. These are as follows.

[0041] [Basket side panel 20'] As described above, the car side panel 20' is one of several car side panel materials that make up the side of the elevator car 1' (see Figure 10), and in this example, it is a plate-shaped material that makes up a part of the side adjacent to the side on which the car door 10 is installed. This car side panel 20' has a rectangular main surface portion 201 that is positioned facing inward from the elevator car 1'. The car side panel 20' also has two side portions 202 that extend from both ends of the main surface portion 201 in one direction substantially perpendicular to the main surface portion 201. The car side panel 20' also has two top portions 203 that extend from the vertical ends of the main surface portion 201 in one direction substantially perpendicular to the main surface portion 201. As a result, the car side panel 20' is molded into a box shape.

[0042] In this type of car side panel 20', the side facing outward in the box shape of the main surface 201 is positioned facing inward towards the car 1', and the side portion 202 is positioned vertically. An opening 201a is provided in the center of the main surface 201, and the operating surface of the control panel [P] is positioned in relation to this opening 201a. Up to this point, it is the same as in the first embodiment.

[0043] Furthermore, the two side portions 202 of the cage side plate 20' are used as fixing side portions for the bracket 50', and each is provided with multiple fixing holes 22h (two in this case) for fixing the bracket 50'.

[0044] [Cover member 40] The cover member 40 has the same configuration as the cover member 40 described in the first embodiment, and is molded into a box shape with a reinforcing plate 404 consisting of a bonding portion 404a and a folded portion 404b extending from it, so its description is omitted here. Also, as in the first embodiment, the control panel [P] housed in the cover member 40 may be, for example, the control panel [P'] shown in Figure 6.

[0045] [Bracket 50'] As shown in Figure 11, the bracket 50' is a member for fixing the car side plate 20' and the cover member 40, and is positioned opposite the two top surfaces 403 of the cover member 40. These brackets 50' have a cover member fixing portion 501 that is positioned opposite the top surfaces 403 of the cover member 40. The bracket 50' also has two car side plate fixing portions 502' that extend perpendicularly from both ends of the cover member fixing portion 501.

[0046] These car side plate fixing portions 502' are positioned opposite the side portion 202 of the car side plate 20' and are arranged parallel to each other. Furthermore, the bracket 50' has a reinforcing portion 504 that extends perpendicularly from the edge of the cover member fixing portion 501 to the cover member fixing portion 501 at a position sandwiched between the two car side plate fixing portions 502'.

[0047] In this bracket 50', the cover member fixing portion 501 is provided with fixing holes 51h. The fixing holes 51h of the cover member fixing portion 501 correspond to the fixing holes 43h of the top surface portion 403 of the cover member 40. In addition, each car side plate fixing portion 502' is provided with fixing holes 52h. Each fixing hole 52h corresponds to the fixing holes 22h provided in the side portion 202 of the car side plate 20'.

[0048] The two brackets 50' mentioned above may be of the same shape.

[0049] [Adhesive layer 60] The adhesive layer 60 shown in Figure 12 has the same configuration as the adhesive layer 60 described in the first embodiment, and since it fixes the cage side plate 20' and the cover member 40 holding the control panel [P] by adhesive, a detailed explanation is omitted here.

[0050] <Elevator manufacturing method> The elevator manufacturing method of the second embodiment is a method for manufacturing an elevator having the above-described mounting structure for the control panel [P], and the procedure for fixing the control panel [P] to the elevator car 1' is the same as the procedure described with reference to Figure 7 in the first embodiment. Therefore, the explanation is omitted here.

[0051] <Effects of the second embodiment> Even in the second embodiment described above, the cover member 40 of the control panel [P] has a bonding portion 404a to the car side plate 20, and this bonding portion 404a is formed integrally with the cover member 40 as a reinforcing plate 404. Therefore, there is no need to provide separate reinforcing members, and the number of parts and man-hours required to install the control panel [P] can be reduced. As a result, it becomes possible to improve the manufacturing efficiency of elevators.

[0052] Furthermore, the cover member 40 into which the control panel [P] is fitted is attached to the main surface portion 201 of the cage side plate 20'. Therefore, similar to the first embodiment, it is possible to improve the accuracy of the protrusion height [t] (see Figure 5) of the operating surface of the control panel [P] relative to the main surface portion 201 of the cage side plate 20', and to improve manufacturing efficiency by reducing the effort required when installing the control panel [P].

[0053] Furthermore, this second embodiment can also be applied to a modified version of the first embodiment described with reference to Figures 8 and 9.

[0054] It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the embodiments and modifications described above, and includes a variety of further modifications. For example, the embodiments described above are described in detail for the purpose of clearly illustrating the present invention, and are not necessarily limited to those having all the configurations described. Furthermore, it is possible to replace parts of the configuration of one embodiment with the configuration of another embodiment, and it is also possible to add configurations from other embodiments to the configuration of one embodiment. In addition, it is possible to add, delete, or replace parts of the configuration of each embodiment with other configurations. [Explanation of Symbols]
