Abstract

An elevator control panel and an elevator including the elevator control panel are provided. The elevator control panel has an input, via which the main circuit of the elevator is brought to the control panel, and an output, via which the main circuit of the elevator is taken onwards out of the control panel. The control panel includes a main switch, which is connected to the main circuit of the elevator for disconnecting/energizing the main circuit leaving from the control panel. The control panel also includes a bent busbar, which is connected to the main circuit of the elevator, in series with the aforementioned main switch.

First claim

1 . A control panel of an elevator, comprising:
an input, via which the main circuit of the elevator is brought to the control panel; an output, via which the main circuit of the elevator is taken onwards out of the control panel; and a main switch, which is connected to the main circuit of the elevator for disconnecting/energizing the main circuit leaving from the control panel; and a bent busbar, which is connected to the main circuit of the elevator, in series with the main switch, wherein the control panel is elongated, comprising a base as well as two shorter and two longer side walls facing each other, and wherein the input and the output of the main circuit of the elevator are situated on the same shorter side wall of the control panel.

2 . The control panel according to claim 1 , wherein the busbar is configured to turn the current path of the main circuit of the elevator 180 degrees in the control panel.

3 . The control panel according to claim 1 , wherein the busbar is coated with electrical insulation.

4 . The control panel according to claim 3 , wherein the electrical insulation is laminated onto the surface of the busbar.

5 . The control panel according to claim 1 , wherein the cables of the incoming main circuit and the cables of the outgoing main circuit are disposed one above the other on the base of the control panel.

6 . The control panel according to claim 1 , wherein the control panel has an openable lid, via which the main switch can be accessed.

7 . The control panel according to claim 1 , wherein the control panel has a separate busbar per each phase of the main circuit of the elevator, and wherein each busbar is connected, in series with the main switch, to a different phase of the main circuit of the elevator.

8 . The control panel according to claim 7 , wherein both the main switch and the busbars have connection terminals wherein each connection terminal of the output side of the main switch is connected to the connection terminal of the input side of the busbar, and wherein the busbar is bent to travel under the main switch in such a way that the connection terminal of the output side of each busbar is disposed on the same side of the main switch 0 as the connection terminals of the input side of the main switch.

9 . Control The control panel according to claim 8 , wherein the cables of the main circuit arriving in the control panel are connected to the connection terminals of the input side of the main switch; switch, and wherein the cables of the main circuit leaving the control panel are connected to the connection terminals of the output side of the busbars.

10 . An elevator, wherein the elevator system comprises the control panel according to claim 1 .

11 . The elevator according to claim 10 , wherein the elevator is an elevator without machine room.

12 . The elevator according to claim 10 , wherein the control panel is fitted into the frame of a door of the elevator hoistway or in the immediate proximity of said frame.

13 . The control panel according to claim 2 , wherein the busbar is coated with electrical insulation.

14 . The control panel according to claim 2 , wherein the cables of the incoming main circuit and the cables of the outgoing main circuit are disposed one above the other on the base of the control panel.

15 . The control panel according to claim 3 , wherein the cables of the incoming main circuit and the cables of the outgoing main circuit are disposed one above the other on the base of the control panel.

16 . The control panel according to claim 4 , wherein the cables of the incoming main circuit and the cables of the outgoing main circuit are disposed one above the other on the base of the control panel.

17 . The control panel according to claim 2 , wherein the control panel has an openable lid, via which the main switch can be accessed.

18 . The control panel according to claim 3 , wherein the control panel has an openable lid, via which the main switch can be accessed.

19 . The control panel according to claim 4 , wherein the control panel has an openable lid, via which the main switch can be accessed.

20 . The control panel according to claim 5 , wherein the control panel has an openable lid, via which the main switch can be accessed.
