The fishback that 7 leading sections that are illustrated in the step side of discrepancy floor plates 6 arrange, 8 represent to establish respectivelyPut the skirtboard in step 2 both sides, 9 represent that laser see through window, and it goes out in being arranged near the gateway of a skirtboard 8The position that enters to use fishback 7 places of the leading section of floor plates 6, is arranged on and can monitors reliably fishback 7The position of entirety. This laser see through window 9 become along the surface of skirtboard 8 plane, not affect user, by thoroughlyTransparent acrylic resin plate or the transparency glass plate etc. of crossing laser beam form the material that laser passes through. Saturating at this laserThe inner side of crossing window 9 is provided with laser scanning sensor unit described later. Midway falling at passenger conveyors shown in Figure 2The user (passenger) who falls is transported near the discrepancy fishback 7 of floor plates 6 as one deck of descending stair floorSituation, user stagnates at this fishback 7 places, user's clothing is likely involved in, thereby needs reliablyMonitor these fishback 7 entirety and find as early as possible the person of falling. In addition, the structure of laser scanning sensor and patent documentation 1The structure recorded of TOHKEMY 2012-36005 communique identical, thereby detailed.
Fig. 3 is illustrated in laser beam and sees through for example setting through the clear acrylic of laser beam of window 9 by forming laserWhen fat plate, transmitance is because of the different situation of incident angle, be envisioned that instrumentation apart from performance according to the angle of laser beamSpend and change. Reflection of light rate or transmitance are according to the polarization side of the dielectric boundaries with respect to transparent acrylic resin plate etc.To and change. The composition of not parallel with dielectric boundaries light is called to P ripple, by the composition of the light parallel with dielectric boundariesBe called S ripple, in the time of inclination polarization, being considered as is the composite wave of P ripple and S ripple. The curve of Fig. 4 represents to consider laserTransmitance and the reflectivity of the transparent acrylic resin plate (refractive index 1.5) of polarization. When known angle is 0 °~40 °Transmitance is 0.96, and angle reaches approximately 0.5 while being 80 °. Dielectric boundaries is in the both sides of transparent acrylic resin plate, because ofAnd pass through twice back and forth by four times, thereby the transmitance that transmission reception adds up to is biquadratic. If adding laser sweepsThe minimum reception susceptibility of retouching sensor, can calculate can detection angles. But minimum reception susceptibility is notKnow, result is that obtain by experiment can detection angles.
Fig. 5 represents that the KodacGray plate for using reflectivity 90%, 18% evaluates grand sight according to each angleRange finding from x[m] experimental model. Angle is changed in the scope of 0 °~80 °, measure 90% and 18% GrayThe ultimate range x[m that plate can observe]. Although measuring point variation, asks near exceeding ultimate range timeGo out the ultimate range that can stably determine. Experiment result be, for the Gray plate of reflectivity 90%, canIn the angular range of 0 °~75 °, determining sensor maximum magnitude is 4m. In addition, for the Gray of reflectivity 18%Plate, along with angle increases, instrumentation distance reduces, and is when more than 70 ° in angle, and maximum instrumentation distance reaches 2.5mBelow. The about 1m of width of passenger conveyors, considers the safe clearance of 2.5 times, the general angle of visual field ± 70 °Proper. Therefore, in the case of in the skirtboard that laser scanning sensor unit is arranged on to passenger conveyors, canTo estimate the gap of the surveyed area for guaranteeing long (wide) 1m. Therefore, knownly can guarantee long (wide) 1mGap be the position apart from the about 15cm in skirtboard surface.
