Fig. 2 is the chain tensioner enlarged drawing that is used for the passenger conveyor step of the sprocket wheel that one embodiment of the present of invention are housed of among the embodiment;
Fig. 3 is the amplification view along A-A line among Fig. 2.
1-3 is described one embodiment of the present of invention below in conjunction with accompanying drawing.
Passenger conveyor comprises a framework (1) of supporting its deadweight and passenger's load-carrying usually; A pair of left and right handrail breast board bar (2) is vertically installed in the both sides of framework (1) and is provided with moving hand-rail on its periphery; A plurality of steps (3) that are arranged between the both sides grab rail (2) are driven synchronously with moving hand-rail, and the continuous therewith loop that is connected into a closure; A pair of left and right step driving chain (4) is connected with the bottom of a plurality of closed bonded assembly steps (3) separately, and is installed in the vertical of framework (1); A pair of left and right driving sprocket wheel (5) is arranged on the inboard corresponding step driving chain (4) that also is wound with of the upper end of framework (1) thereon; A step chain drive-belt take-up device (6) is arranged on the inboard also thereon around step driving chain (4) of framework (1) lower end, so that a tension force that continues is provided; An actuating device (7) is arranged on the inboard of framework (1) upper end and provides propulsive effort for drive sprocket (5).
Step chain drive-belt take-up device (6) comprises driven sprocket device of the present invention, and this driven sprocket device mainly comprises one wheel pairs (8), forms disc outward, and being wound with such as poly-urethane rubber on its outer peripheral face is the elasticity wheel body (9) that main material is made; Described chain tensioner (6) comprises that also one is used to support the axle (10) of two wheels (8); The bearing (11) at rotatably support axle (10) two ends; Cover the bearing box (12) of bearing (11); Guide rail (13) crouches and to be placed on one along on the stationary member of step sense of motion and can be the slippage guiding of bearing box (12); The connecting rod (14) that is connected with bearing box (12); Engagement accessory (15) from wherein by the other end of connecting rod (14) by and be fixed on the stationary member; Spring (16) is arranged between engagement accessory (15) and connecting rod (14) end and gives step driving chain (4) with a constant force.
Elasticity wheel body (9) can be coiled on the wheel (8) by following method.At first, the thickness W of wheel (8) periphery is made less than the inboard thickness (WC) between step driving chain (4) link plate (17), and W is roughly equated with the respective width of chain roller (18).Each wheel (8) that is formed by this mode upward forms a groove (19) around its whole peripheral surface (8S), and the elasticity wheel body (9) with square-section matches with groove (19).The side face (9S) of elasticity wheel body (9) can be given prominence to from groove (19) so that make the projection elastic support of chain roller (18) by side face (9S).Simultaneously, the side face (8S) of wheel (8) places between the link plate (17) and is inserted to the side of chain roller (18) so that make wheel (8) and link plate (a 17) formation lap (L) always.In addition, the diameter D of the elasticity wheel body (9) on each wheel (8) is so selected: the integral multiple amount at the chain link angle (Chain pitch angle) of the step driving chain (4) on the elasticity wheel body (9) can not equal 360 degree.
On the side face (8S) that elasticity wheel body (9) can adopt Method for bonding or compression molding to be fixed on to be contained in wheel (8) in the groove (19), perhaps each elasticity wheel body can be made ring-type and utilize the elasticity of elasticity wheel body (9) that it is matched with groove.In addition, going up the elasticity wheel body at the wheel that does not form groove (19) (8) can be fixed on by one of said method on the side face (8S).
In said structure, when passenger conveyor was driven, step driving chain (4) was driven by drive sprocket and constantly moves with mobile step (3) between sprocket wheel and chain tensioner (6).Step driving chain (4) is controlled on the side face of wheel (8) by the lap L between link plate (17) and wheel (8) the circumference side (20), thereby chain (4) will and not thrown off on wheel (8).In addition, wheel (8) by spring (6) by connecting rod (14) tension and rotate making it for step driving chain (4) reposefully with constant-tension.When step driving chain (4) by when wheel (8) is gone up, chain roller (18) is accepted by elasticity wheel body (9), thereby impact is eliminated, and takes this just may prevent fulsome noise and vibrations.In addition, relation between chain link angle of step driving chain (4) (Chain pitch angle) and elasticity wheel body (9) the diameter D allows the contact position between chain roller (18) and the elasticity wheel body (9) to change frequently, thereby chain roller successively contacts with a series of continuous positions.Therefore, when chain roller (18) and elasticity wheel body (9) are thrown off and between its original position contacts, adequate time is arranged again.This means that the frequency that chain roller (18) is supported is compared with the device that chain roller is repeatedly supported greatly and descended, thereby the life-span of elasticity wheel body (9) is prolonged on a certain ad-hoc location of elasticity wheel body (9).Yet, only to compare with the contacted structure of elasticity wheel body (9) with the edge of link plate at chain roller (18) with the contacted a kind of structure of elasticity wheel body (9), the wearing and tearing of elasticity wheel body (9) can reduce, and have obtained prolongation service life.
In addition, the maintenance of wheel (8) and inspection can mainly lay particular emphasis on elasticity wheel body (9), because step driving chain (4) mainly contacts with elasticity wheel body (9), thereby as long as replace worn-down elasticity wheel body (9).Therefore, the total service expenditure of passenger conveyor has reduced.
As mentioned above, the part that the enforcement that the present invention is paid can be saved comprises that a sprocket wheel routinely is with the expensive profile of tooth cutting process of needs, the part that replaces is that disk wheel simple in structure is equipped with the elasticity wheel body on its side face, and the take-up device that is used for step driving chain (4) (6) of prior art makes operation be enough to meet the demands.
As mentioned above, the advantage of driven sprocket device of the present invention is under the prerequisite that can obtain more lasting effectively shock absorbing effect, thereby has prolonged service life owing to designs simplification has also reduced cost.
