Abstract

An elevator car for an elevator system includes a car door, a car door mechanism, at least one car door panel, a door drive motor, and a drive control device for the door drive motor. The car door mechanism thereby supports the car door panel. The drive control device includes an operator module having an operator panel, wherein the operator module is disposed on the elevator car so that the operator panel can be operated from the roof of the elevator car and through an opened shaft door from a building floor.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. An elevator car with a car door, a car door lintel, at least one car door panel, a door drive motor and a drive regulating device for the door drive motor, wherein the car door lintel carries the at least one car door panel and wherein a module of the drive regulating device is arranged at the car door lintel, comprising:
the module of the drive regulating device being a control module; and
said control module having a control panel, wherein said control module is arranged at an upper side of the car door lintel for access and operation of said control panel from a roof of the elevator car and from an adjacent building floor through an opened shaft door.

2. The elevator car according to claim 1 wherein the car door lintel includes a horizontally extending strip forming said upper side and said control module of the drive regulating device is attached to the car door lintel to arrange said control panel horizontally above said strip.

3. The elevator car according to claim 1 wherein the car door lintel includes a horizontally extending strip forming said upper side, said strip having a recess and said control panel of the control module being arranged within said recess of said strip.

4. The elevator car according to claim 3 wherein said control panel of the control module is flush with said upper side or arranged below said upper side.

5. The elevator car according to claim 1 wherein said control panel of the control module is constructed as a film keyboard and comprises a cover film, a support plate connected to said cover film, and a plurality of switching elements and indicating elements positioned between said cover film and said support plate.

6. The elevator car according to claim 5 wherein said support plate of said control panel is fixed to a strip forming said upper side of the car door lintel.

7. The elevator car according to claim 6 wherein said support plate of said control panel is fixed on an upper side of said strip.

8. The elevator car according to claim 6 wherein said support plate of said control panel is fixed to an underside of said strip.

9. The elevator car according to claim 1 wherein said control module of the drive regulating device is a control and indicating module and the drive regulating device includes a further module which is a drive module, wherein said drive module is electrically connected with said control and indicating module.

10. The elevator car according to claim 9 wherein said control and indicating module is connected with said drive module by an interface device enabling a separate exchange of said control and indicating module.

11. The elevator car according to claim 9 wherein said drive module is a drive and regulating module for driving the door drive motor and includes a program memory which after a learning travel of the car door, controls by said drive module required movements and reactions of the door drive motor in response to commands of an elevator control for opening and closing the car door.

12. An elevator installation including an elevator car according to claim 1 .

13. An elevator car with a car door, a car door lintel, at least one car door panel, a door drive motor and a drive regulating device for the door drive motor, wherein the car door lintel carries the at least one car door panel, comprising:
the drive regulating device having a control module being arranged at an upper side of the car door lintel;
said control module having a control panel being arranged at the car door lintel for access and operation of said control panel from a roof of the elevator car and from an adjacent building floor through an opened shaft door; and
said control panel being constructed as a film keyboard having a cover film, a support plate connected to said cover film, and a plurality of switching elements and indicating elements positioned between said cover film and said support plate.

14. An elevator car with a car door, a car door lintel, at least one car door panel, a door drive motor and a drive regulating device for the door drive motor, wherein the car door lintel carries the at least one car door panel and wherein a module of the drive regulating device is arranged at the car door lintel, comprising:
the module of the drive regulating device being a control module; and
said control module having a control panel, wherein said control module is arranged at an upper side of the car door lintel for access and operation of said control panel from a roof of the elevator car and from an adjacent building floor through an opened shaft door;
wherein the car door lintel includes a horizontally extending strip forming said upper side and said control module of the drive regulating device is attached to the car door lintel to arrange said control panel horizontally above said strip.
