Abstract

PURPOSE:To easily change the direction of a wheelchair in a cage room by providing wall projecting portions within the range of cage frames on the lower portions on the side walls of the cage room. CONSTITUTION:When the user 8 of a wheelchair 9 enters a cage room 1, he changes the direction of the wheelchair using a handrail 16, etc. In this case, recessed portions 10 having a height dimension A which admits auxiliary wheels 11 or the feet of the user 8 are formed on the lower portion of the side walls 3 of the cage room with wall projecting portions 15 which are provided within the range of cage frames. Thereby, the wheels chair 9 can be easily rotated.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial Field of Application] This invention relates to improvements in the car structure of wheelchair elevators, particularly.

[Conventional technology]

Fig. 5 is a plan view from above showing the cab of a conventional wheelchair elevator disclosed in, for example, Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 57-51268. In Fig. 1, (1) is the car chamber, and (2) is the car entrance. (3) is the left and right side walls of the car room (1), (4) is the front wall facing the door (2), (5) is the car floor (6) is the general (7) is the wheelchair operation panel, (8) is the user, (9) is the training wheel (11)
), (10) is a recess formed by extending a part of the lower part of the front wall (4).

Figure 6 is a cross-sectional diagram of the elevator car seen from the front, where (12) is the car frame that supports the car (1), (13) is the floor (5) adjacent to the lower part of the side wall of the car. Skirting boards make up part of the wall and are stronger than other wall surfaces.

(14) is a vibration-proof rubber interposed between the floor (5) of the car room (1) and the car frame (12).

The cab of a wheelchair elevator is shown in Figure 5.

A part of the lower part of the front wall (4) has a height dimension of 700 to 85
G1111, depth 200-650mm+, width 7
00IIll Equipped with 1 or more recesses (10).

This recess has a part of the front wall (4) opened and an overhang that protrudes outside the car compartment so that the user can use the wheelchair (9).
) can be inserted into the lower body.

As a result, the car compartment (1) of the wheelchair elevator only needs to be widened in the area necessary for the wheelchair, which reduces the increase in load. It becomes possible to use it. Further, the operation panel (7) is provided on the side wall (3) for easy access and operation.

The structure around the outside of the car (1) is as shown in Figure 6.
1) is supported by the car floor (5), and the car floor (5) is supported by anti-vibration rubber (
14) is supported by the car frame (12).

[The problem that the idea attempts to solve]

Since conventional wheelchair elevators are configured as described above, the wheelchair (9) remains stuck in the recess (10) and there is no space to turn the wheelchair (9) into the car compartment (1). The user has to operate the elevator in a fixed position, which creates a cramped position, which gives the user a feeling of pressure, and causes strong anxiety for wheelchair users who have to move backwards when going up and down the elevator or when exiting the elevator. There was a problem with creating a feeling.

In addition, in the conventional structure, the floor (5) protrudes only the part necessary for the wheelchair (9) and the front wall (4) is deformed, which weakens the strength of the wall and requires measures such as reinforcement. ,
Furthermore, in the conventional structure, the hoistway space is limited to the car room (1).
This is determined by the maximum dimensions of width and depth, which poses the problem of not making efficient use of space and resulting in high costs.

This idea was made to solve the problems mentioned above, and is a small elevator that can easily change the direction of the wheelchair inside the car.

Furthermore, the object is to obtain a wheelchair elevator that can effectively utilize the space of the elevator system. [Means for solving the problem] A wall projecting portion is provided at the lower part of the side wall of the car room within a range that does not extend beyond the car frame.

[Effect]

The direction of the wheelchair inside the car can be easily changed by inserting the tip of the wheelchair into a recess provided at the lower side of the car.

〔Example〕

Below, an embodiment of this invention will be explained with reference to figures 1 and 2.
In the figure, (10) is a recess provided in the lower baseboard of the side wall (3), (15) is a wall protrusion forming this recess (10), (11) is the auxiliary wheel of the wheelchair, (1
6) is a handrail, and the other components are the same as in FIG.

When the user (8) enters the car room (1), he changes direction using the handrail (16) and the like. At this time, there is some margin in the forward and backward direction due to the door (2) opening/closing part, but conventionally the auxiliary wheels (
11) It was difficult to change direction because the part got caught on the side wall. On the other hand, the training wheels (11) or the user (
By providing a recess (10) with a height dimension A that accommodates the toes of item 8), it becomes possible to rotate easily.

The most likely situation when turning is when the wheelchair (9) is at an angle to the side wall in the car compartment (1), but in this case, the recess (lO) where the toes are free can be effectively used. This makes it easier to reach the side walls, and the recess allows for slight forward and backward movement, making it easier to turn a heavy chair.

Moreover, the wheelchair operation panel (7) provided on the side wall can be easily operated.

The configuration of the outer circumference of the elevator corner in the embodiment of this invention is shown in Figures 3 and 4. In Figure 9, (10) is the side wall (
3), the recess provided at the bottom of (15) is this recess (
1O) together with the car floor (5).

The overhang (15) can be so low that your knees cannot fit into it, as shown in dimension A in Figure 1, so you can use a large baseboard with a larger height than the conventional baseboard, increasing the strength of the side walls. It can be made strong without any reinforcement.

Some walls of the inner car frame (12) of the walls of the recess (10) formed in the overhang (15) are shallower than other walls.

Originally, there was a gap between the car frame and the car wall to absorb the falling and shaking of the car, but considering the overall margin of the car room, a considerably large gap was chosen, and the gap at the bottom of the car wall was If only the low part is taken up, a small gap will be created, allowing the car to extend outward.

Note that this projecting portion must not project outward from the car frame (12) so as not to affect the hoistway. In other words, it is necessary to provide a margin for the 8 dimensions.

In the case of a small elevator, the car frame (1
2) is sometimes arranged at the end of the doorway side rather than in the center of the car (1), so in this case, a recess of the same depth should be provided across the entire width of the side wall excluding the end. This provides even better effects.

With the above structure, the tip of the wheelchair only fits into the recess provided in the side wall, and a large load is not applied to it, so it is not necessarily necessary to extend the floorboard itself, and even if another floor member is connected. good. Moreover, since the gap, which was conventionally a dead space, can be effectively used, the elevator system can be made small and lightweight without having a special shape even though it is an elevator for wheelchairs.

In the above description, the recesses (10) are provided in both side walls, but it is also possible to provide recesses on one side, and it is also possible to extend the baseboard of the front wall to the outside of the room.

[Effect of idea]

A wall extension is provided at the bottom of the side wall of the car so that it does not extend beyond the car frame, and the tip of the wheelchair can be inserted into this recess, making it easy to change the direction of the wheelchair within the car and making it compact and compact. This has the effect of providing a wheelchair elevator that is lightweight and utilizes space effectively.
