In Xinmin Village, 76-year-old Uncle Pan lives alone on the 6th floor
I moved in three years ago, and the house was bought by my daughter
Uncle Pan's hearing and eyesight are not good, and he needs to be especially careful when he goes out, so despite the installation of elevators, he does not go downstairs every day, and generally throws garbage or buys things only next time, sometimes buying online and delivering them by couriers.
Mr. Pan said that thanks to the installation of an elevator, he dared to live on the top floor. There is still a difference between the installed elevator and the high-rise elevator, and every time you go up and down, you have to walk half a floor of stairs, like the elderly, handicapped and wheelchair-bound elderly, it is very troublesome to go up and down.
From the elevator door on the 5th and a half floors to the entrance door on the 6th floor of Uncle Pan's house, across the half-story staircase, the reporter counted and there were nine steps. This unit goes down from the 6th floor to the 2nd floor, and every family is like this.
The reporter couldn't help but think of the 92-year-old Uncle Ye who had been interviewed, and he said that his biggest wish was to see the elevator installed in the unit where he lived.
"When the vertical elevator of our unit is installed, and then a corridor elevator is installed from the 3rd and a half floors to the 4th floor, I have discussed with the neighbors on the 4th floor, 25,000 units, Huzhou will have it. ”
The half-story staircase in front of Uncle Ye's house is also "nine steps".
Unit 1 of No. 2 Pan Dabo Xinmin Village is equipped with nine steps from 5 and a half to 6 floors of the elevator
Why are the "Nine Steps" so common?
In 1998, the government set the direction of market-oriented reform of urban housing, and many cities began to build commercial housing. In order to sell well when building commercial housing, when solving the problem of unit fund-raising to build a house and divide the house, the north side of the middle household can only use the ventilation problem of the corridor, and the traditional one-run staircase evolves to the second-run staircase through the design and transformation of the house type and corridor.
The first staircase is to cross the floor from one direction through seventeen or eighteen steps, and the second staircase is to cross the floor through two sections of "nine steps". The evolution of stairs not only solves the ventilation problem of intermediate households, but also reduces the shared area of the owner's corridor and improves the housing rate, which has since become the fixed pattern of China's real estate industry.
When these residences were later installed with elevators, one ran the stairs, and the elevator halls installed by the two stairs were mostly at the half-floor of each floor, and the owner's entrance door was separated by half a staircase, almost all of which were nine steps.

The country's first corridor elevator in Cangji New Village
It was discontinued 4 years ago
The country's first corridor elevator appeared in Hangzhou in 2012, Cangji New Village 10 Building 2 units, room 501 Dr. Chen is the elevator installation leader, at that time, the installation of the corridor elevator, is to help a resident suffering from a variety of diseases up and down the stairs.
Dr. Chen said that at that time, their corridor elevator was popular in Hangzhou, and the media from all over the country, including the central government, came to report on Cangji New Village.
This unit has 3 households on one ladder, 15 households on 5 floors, the corridor is a running staircase, 17 steps on each floor, there are 4 such long stairs from 1 to 5 floors, and a corridor elevator is installed on the side wall of each staircase, and the reporter is in a state of power failure when he sees it.
Dr. Chen said that after the elevator was installed, it was good for the first two or three years, but after a long time, the maintenance was more frequent, and it had to be repaired once or twice a month. For the convenience of everyone, the corridor elevator is not locked, and then there are often many children who come to play, all love to take the corridor elevator, up and down more, three or four times a month. "We were troublesome, and the elevator company was also troublesome, so we closed the elevator at the end of 2019. ”

The elevator in the corridor of Xinmin Village
Only 1 of the 8 is still moving
The reporter also saw the elevator in Xinmin Village, which was installed on June 1, 2016.
Two running stairs, each floor has to install 2 corridor elevators, 1 to 5 floors installed 8, 20,000 yuan each, cost 160,000 yuan, all of which are paid by Uncle Xie's family on the 5th floor, the power supply is connected to Uncle Xie's house, the monthly electricity cost is about 100 yuan, and the maintenance fee is 300 yuan per year, 8 sets of 2400 yuan.
Uncle Xie said that the elevator in the corridor was installed, and it was good for more than a year before, but then it was old and broken, either this one or that one was broken, and it basically had to be repaired every month. When the reporter went, the elevator in the corridor was not energized. At the end of November, the elevator company said that the parts of this product are not produced, and the parts need to be replaced elsewhere to repair, and it is recommended to install the company's new products, each new product is 28,000, which can be discounted, 18,000 each, and then 144,000 for a new corridor elevator. Uncle Xie said that it would definitely be unbearable for him to carry the cost of 8 units per household. The old ones can't be used, and they still occupy the space in the corridor, "let them demolish them, and they don't want to demolish them." ”
Uncle Xie reconnected the power supply of the elevator in the corridor, started the remote control, and the 8 elevator reporters tried it one by one, only one of them could still move, and the other 7 were all broken.

All the elevators in Genyuan are in use
The owner said there was a safety hazard
In Building 13 of Genyuan, the reporter saw 11 corridors that could be used. This unit enters the house from the 2nd floor, runs the stairs twice, and a total of 11 units are installed on the 2nd to 7th floors, and I tried it, and sat on the 7th floor from the 2nd floor, 3 minutes and 40 seconds.
Grandma Huang on the 7th floor, 77 years old, is the leader of the elevator installation in the corridor. She said that she spent 320,000 yuan that year, and the elevator power supply was connected to her home, with a monthly electricity bill of 100 yuan and a maintenance fee of 300 yuan per unit.
Grandma Huang said that she had to call for maintenance every month, and the steel plate could not be put down, and the wire rope was broken...... After the repair will come to the door in a few days, if the replacement parts are generally hundreds of yuan, "it must be repaired once a month, and more than two or three times a month." ”
Grandma Huang said that she took the elevator down, and the next elevator in the corridor would automatically open the pedal in advance and wait for you, once someone happened to come up from below, tripped over the automatically opened pedal, and broke her knee and bled out.
I also thought about installing a vertical elevator, but there is no space outside to install it. Grandma Huang said that people like them, who can't install vertical elevators for objective reasons and are using corridor elevators, can they also give some subsidies?

Is a chair lift viable?
The reporter found that there is also a kind of intelligent chair lift on the market, which installs the seat on the handrail of the renovated corridor, and the seat can be continuously shuttled back and forth between the first floor and the top floor, and the arrival floor is controlled by buttons or cards.
An installation worker told reporters that the disadvantage of the chair lift is that the chair is afraid of a strong collision, if someone deliberately hits the chair, it is easy to get stuck and cannot run.
Manager Xing of a chair lift manufacturer in Jinan told reporters that the installation of the unit corridor needs to be opposed by all owners, and the installation is completed for about two months, and the total installation price of the 7-story unit building is about 142,000 yuan.
Ceremonial lifts installed on the handrails of the staircase of the unit
The installation of vertical elevators in the old community has made outstanding achievements in Hangzhou, which has been in the forefront of the country and has solved the big problem of inconvenient travel for many elderly people. A few days ago, when the reporter was interviewing the installation of elevators, he heard some elderly people report the problem of walking nine steps. From climbing sixty or seventy steps to only nine steps, it is a huge progress, but after all, nine steps still have to be walked, and for every old man, there will be a day when he can't walk and his wheelchair can't push out.
Do you or the elderly at home also worry about these nine steps? Do you have any good methods and suggestions? Welcome to Orange Persimmon Interactive Talk. We will also continue to pay attention to the practical issue of people's livelihood as a matter of the nine steps.
