Mode for carrying out the invention
[0015]
 Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the following Examples 1 and 2 with reference to the drawings.
[0016]
 In each figure, those having the same reference number indicate the same configuration requirements or configuration requirements having similar functions.
Example 1
[0017]
 FIG. 1 is a schematic view of a car in an elevator according to a first embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 1 is a view when the car door is viewed from inside the car.
[0018]
 As shown in FIG. 1, the car 1 is provided on the floor 2, the side plate 3 erected on the peripheral edge of the floor 2, and the ceiling 4 provided on the upper part of the side plate 3 and the design panel 4A is arranged on the cab side. And a car door 5 facing the landing side.
[0019]
 The car 1 is driven by a known drive mechanism and moves up and down in a hoistway in a building structure. Further, the car door 5 engages with a landing door (not shown) when the car 1 lands, and is opened and closed together with the landing door by a known door drive mechanism provided in the car 1.
[0020]
 The car 1 is provided with a hearing aid system 10 having an induction loop, which will be described later. The hearing aid system 10 includes a magnetic induction amplifier 11 that amplifies an audio signal output by a control unit (not shown) and outputs an audio signal current, and an induction loop 12 connected to the output of the magnetic induction amplifier 11. The induction loop 12 is arranged outside the car 1 on the upper side of the ceiling 4 in a loop shape along the peripheral edge of the ceiling 4. As a result, a magnetic field can be generated in the entire car 1, and the induction loop 12 can be easily installed and maintained.
[0021]
 The magnetic induction amplifier 11 may amplify an audio signal which is an acoustic signal for transmitting information to an elevator user in words such as a guidance broadcast, or an acoustic signal for transmitting information by an alarm or a melody. Good.
[0022]
 When the voice signal current output from the magnetic induction amplifier 11 flows through the induction loop 12, a magnetic field that changes according to the voice signal is generated in the car 1. This magnetic field induces a weak current in the induction coil of the receiver carried or worn by the elevator user in the car 1. The receiver amplifies this weak current and reproduces the audio signal. As a result, the elevator user can clearly hear the contents of the broadcast in the car 1 and the contents of the call made through the intercom in an emergency by using the earphones provided in the receiver.
[0023]
 Next, the configuration of the induction loop 12 will be described.
[0024]
 FIG. 2 shows the configuration of the induction loop arranged on the ceiling 4 in the first embodiment.
[0025]
 In the induction loop 12, a plurality of wire harnesses (hereinafter, referred to as “harnesses”) composed of electric wires such as insulating coated conductive wires and connectors are connected to each other by connectors. As a result, the wires form a single or multiple (double in FIG. 2) loop.
[0026]
 As shown in FIG. 2, the induction loop 12 is composed of a branch harness 20 serving as a connection portion to the output of the magnetic induction amplifier 11, a long standard harness 30 having a predetermined length dimension, and a standard harness. It is composed of a long adjusting harness 40 having a short length dimension. In the first embodiment, one, three, and one branch harness 20, standard length harness 30, and adjustment harness 40 are used, respectively.

[0031]
 The number of standard length harnesses 30 is not limited to three, and is appropriately set according to the size of the car 1, that is, the size of the ceiling 4. Further, when the adjustment harness 40 cannot satisfy the desired loop length with respect to the size of the ceiling 4 by one or a plurality of standard length harnesses 30, the adjustment harness 40 makes up for the shortage. Therefore, the length of the adjusting harness 40 is appropriately adjusted according to the size of the ceiling and the number of standard harnesses.

A second loop is formed at the end of the twelve, that is, the other of the pair of connecting wires to the magnetic induction amplifier. Here, the loop on the first lap and the loop on the second lap are electrically connected by the electric wire 51B in the branch harness 20. As a result, an induction loop 12 composed of two consecutive loops is formed.

Therefore, the time required for laying the induction loop can be shortened. Further, by manufacturing the wire harness before the laying work, it is possible to shorten the time and cost of the laying work of the induction loop 12.
[0052]
 Further, according to the first embodiment, by using a branch harness, a standard length harness having a predetermined length, and an adjustment harness shorter than the standard length harness, it is possible to set the loop length according to the size of various cars. .. For example, by adjusting the number of standard-length harnesses and adjusting the length of the adjustment harness, it is possible to handle ceilings of different sizes, and the application design of the induction loop becomes easy.
[0053]
 Further, according to the first embodiment, one of the two electric wires of the standard length harness and one of the two electric wires of the adjustment harness form a loop for the first round, and the two electric wires of the standard length harness have. The other of the electric wires and the other of the two electric wires provided in the adjusting harness form a loop for the second lap.

 The induction loop in the second embodiment is laid on the ceiling of the car as in the first embodiment. Further, in the second embodiment, the strength of the magnetic field generated by the induction loop can be adjusted as follows.
[0092]
 For example, using the branch harness 20B, the standard length harness 30 and the adjustment harness 40A, an induction loop having three turns is laid. After laying the induction loop, it was found that the strength of the magnetic field generated by the induction loop was not sufficient, and it was difficult to hear the sound from the receiver (for example, a hearing aid with a built-in induction coil) possessed by the elevator user in the car. In this case, the branch harness 20B is replaced with the branch harness 20C without changing the standard length harness 30D and the adjustment harness 40A.
