The displacement portion 28 presses the detection portion 29 with the rear surface by being displaced in the rearward direction. The detection portion 29 is pressed by the displacement portion 28 displaced in the backward direction, thereby detecting the operation of the user. The destination floor button 19 as the operation button 13, which detects the operation by the user, outputs a signal indicating that the operation by the user is detected to the button control unit 18.
The button control unit 18 transmits information of the detected user operation to the control panel 10. In this example, the button control portion 18 of the car operating panel 12 transmits information of a car call to a destination floor selected by the user to the control panel 10. The button control section 18 supplies power to the first electric wire 30 of the operation button 13, which detects the operation of the user, through the output substrate. At this time, the button control section 18 continues to supply power to the second electric wire 37 of the operation button 13.
The first wires 30 supply power to the plurality of first light emitting elements 33, respectively. The plurality of first light emitting elements 33 emit visible light, respectively. The second light emitting elements 36 continue to emit visible light, respectively. The visible light emitted from the plurality of first light emitting elements 33 and the plurality of second light emitting elements 36 passes through the button cover 25. Thereby, the first range R1 and the second range R2 of the operation button 13 in which the operation by the user is detected are turned on.
The user confirms that the operation is accepted by lighting the first range R1 and the second range R2 of the operation button 13.
As described above, the operation panel according to embodiment 1 includes the plurality of operation buttons 13. Each of the plurality of operation buttons 13 includes a button unit 24, a button cover 25, and an adapter 26. The button unit 24 has a first light emitting element 33 emitting visible light at a first range R1 of the front surface. The button unit 24 detects a user's operation. The button cover 25 transmits visible light. The button cover 25 has an operation surface S on the front surface. An adapter 26 is mounted to the front surface of the button unit 24. The button cover 25 is mounted to the front surface of the adapter 26. The adapter 26 has a second light emitting element 36 emitting visible light outside the first range R1 of the front surface.
Further, the button units 24 of the plurality of operation buttons 13 are the same kind of member as each other. The adapters 26 of at least any one combination of the plurality of operation buttons 13 are different kinds of members from each other.
A range corresponding to the first range R1 in the operation surface S of the button cover 25 is irradiated with the first light-emitting element 33. The range corresponding to the second range R2 in the operation surface S of the button cover 25 is irradiated with the second light emitting element 36. That is, even when the area of the operation surface S is large, the luminance of the operation surface S is not reduced by directly irradiating the entire range of the operation surface S with both the first light-emitting element 33 and the second light-emitting element 36. This prevents a reduction in visibility of the operation result, and improves the degree of freedom in the area and shape of the operation surface S.
The adapter 26 enables the button cover 25 having an area or shape different from that of the button unit 24 to be attached to the button unit 24. This improves the degree of freedom in the area and shape of the operation surface S of the operation button 13 without changing the mounting structure to the mounting plate. The button unit 24 is shared regardless of the area or shape of the operation surface S of the operation button 13. Therefore, management of components becomes easy.
The adapter 26 has a second light emitting element 36 at a position outside the outer periphery of the button unit 24. Thus, even in the button cover 25 extending outward of the button unit 24, the brightness of the operation surface S is not reduced.
The button unit 24 includes a displacement unit 28 and a detection unit 29. The displacement portion 28 is displaced back and forth in conjunction with the operation surface S. The detection unit 29 detects the operation of the user by the displacement of the displacement unit 28. Then, the adapter 26 is displaced back and forth in conjunction with the displacement portion 28.
Thereby, the button unit 24 having the displacement section 28 as the movable section is shared. Therefore, the replacement member in the case where the movable portion has failed is shared. Therefore, the maintainability of the operation panel of the elevator is improved.
The button unit 24 includes a first wire 30 to which power for causing the first light-emitting element 33 to emit light is supplied from the button control unit 18, for example. The adapter 26 includes a second wire 37 to which power for causing the second light emitting element 36 to emit light is supplied from the button control unit 18, for example. The first electric wire 30 and the second electric wire 37 are merged and connected to, for example, the button control portion 18.
Thus, the button control unit 18 can turn on the operation buttons 13 by the same electric signal regardless of whether the adapter 26 is attached to the operation buttons 13. Therefore, the button control unit 18 can control the lighting of the operation buttons 13 easily.
The button unit 24 includes a first wire 30 to which power for causing the first light-emitting element 33 to emit light is supplied from the button control unit 18. The adapter 26 includes a second wire 37 to which power for causing the second light emitting element 36 to emit light is supplied from the button control unit 18. The first electric wire 30 and the second electric wire 37 are connected to the button control portion 18 independently of each other.
The operation panel is provided with a button control unit 18. At least one of the plurality of operation buttons 13 is a destination floor button 19 that detects a registration operation of a call to a destination floor corresponding to the operation button 13. When the destination floor is available, the button control unit 18 supplies power to one of the first light emitting element 33 and the second light emitting element 36 of the operation button 13 corresponding to the destination floor to emit light. When a call to a destination floor is registered, the button control portion 18 supplies power to both the first light emitting element 33 and the second light emitting element 36 of the operation button 13 corresponding to the destination floor and causes them to emit light.
Thereby, the button control unit 18 can turn on the operation buttons 13 in two stages. Therefore, the operation panel can provide more information to the user. The operation panel can provide information to the user on whether or not the operation is accepted and whether or not the destination floor can be used, for example. This improves the convenience of the user.
The button unit 24 may be a touch button that detects an operation by the user when the user comes into contact with the operation surface S.
Also, the first connection portion 32 and the second connection portion 34 may be connected by threads cut on the side surfaces. The first connection portion 32 and the second connection portion 34 may be connected by an adhesive.
Industrial applicability
The operation button and the operation panel of the present invention can be applied to an elevator.
