Abstract

The object of the invention is an insulated landing door of an elevator, which door comprises at least one door panel that opens and closes in the lateral direction and is provided with a glass surface plate, which door panel comprises a frame structure supporting the door panel and an edge beading on the front edge of the door panel and an insulation element. The insulation element is composed of one or more glass plates, and that there is an air gap between the glass surface plate and the glass insulation element.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A insulated landing door of an elevator, the insulating landing door comprising:
at least a first door panel configured to open and close in a lateral direction, the lateral direction perpendicular to a movement direction of the elevator, and the first door panel having a floor level side facing a floor and a hoistway side facing a hoistway, the first door panel including,
a glass surface plate,
a frame structure surrounding an edge the glass surface plate and supporting the first door panel,
edge beading extending continuously along an edge of the first door panel from a top of the first door panel to a bottom of the first door panel, the edge beading being attached to the frame structure on the floor level side of the first door panel and wrapping around the edge of the first door panel such that the edge beading is configured to overlap with edge beading of a second door panel configured to move in a direction opposite to the first door panel, and
a glass insulation element including at least one glass plate, the glass insulation element spaced apart from the glass surface plate by an air gap between the glass surface plate and the glass insulation element, the air gap defined by an insert between the glass insulation element and the glass surface plate, the glass insulation element and the insert being pressed against each other by a fastener and the frame structure.

2. The insulated landing door according to claim 1 , wherein the edge beading wraps around the edge of the first door panel such that a surface of the edge beading and a surface of the glass surface plate lie on a same plane in the lateral direction, and, along the edge of the first door panel, the edge beading is divided into a first portion and a second portion each extending different lengths from the edge of the first door panel in the lateral direction such that the edge beading is configured to overlap with edge beading of a second door panel configured to move in a direction opposite to the first door panel.

3. The insulated landing door according to claim 1 , wherein the glass insulation element includes a plurality of glass plates.

4. The insulated landing door according to claim 3 , wherein the plurality of glass plates are laminated to each other.

5. The insulated landing door according to claim 1 , wherein a thickness of the insert and a thickness of the glass surface plate are configured such that a surface of the glass surface plate and a surface of the edge beading are on a same plane on the floor level side of the first door panel.

6. The insulated landing door according to claim 1 , wherein:
the insert has a ring structure;
a first side surface of the insert is fixed to a surface of the glass insulation element facing the floor level side of the first door panel; and
a second side surface of the insert is fixed to a surface of the glass surface plate facing an elevator car side of the first door panel.

7. The insulated landing door according to claim 1 , further comprising:
at least one other glass plate between an outer surface of the insert and an inside surface of the glass surface plate; wherein
an outer surface of the glass insulation element is fixed to an inside surface of the insert,
the outer surface of the insert faces the floor level side of the first door panel,
the inside surface of the glass surface plate faces an elevator car side of the first door panel,
the outer surface of the glass insulation element faces the floor level side of the first door panel, and
the inside surface of the insert faces the elevator car side of the first door panel.

8. The insulated landing door according to claim 7 , wherein the at least one other glass plate, the glass insulation element and the insert are pressed against each other by a fastener and the frame structure.

9. The insulated landing door according to claim 8 , wherein the fastener is a combination of screws and nuts.

10. The insulated landing door according to claim 7 , wherein the first door panel comprises:
at least a first seal between an outer surface of the at least one other glass plate and an inside surface of the frame structure, the outer surface of the at least one other glass plate facing the floor level side, and the inside surface of the frame structure facing the elevator car side; and
at least a second seal between an inside surface of the frame structure and the outer surface of the glass insulation element, the inside surface of the frame structure facing the floor level side.

11. The insulated landing door according to claim 1 , wherein the first door panel comprises:
at least a first seal between an outer surface of the insert and an inside surface of the frame structure, the outer surface of the insert facing the floor level side, and the inside surface of the frame structure facing an elevator car side of the first door panel; and
at least a second seal between an inside surface of the frame structure and an outer surface of the glass insulation element, the inside surface of the frame structure facing the floor level side, and the outer surface of the glass insulation element facing the elevator car side.

12. The insulated landing door according to claim 1 , wherein the fastener is a combination of screws and nuts.
