Detailed Description
Various embodiments according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Here, it is to be noted that, in the drawings, the same reference numerals are given to constituent parts having substantially the same or similar structures and functions, and repeated description thereof will be omitted. The term "sequentially comprising A, B, C, etc" merely indicates the order of the included elements A, B, C, etc. and does not exclude the possibility of including other elements between a and B and/or between B and C.
The drawings in the present specification are schematic views to assist in explaining the concept of the present invention, and schematically show the shapes of respective portions and their mutual relationships.
Hereinafter, preferred embodiments according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to fig. 1 to 6.
Fig. 1 and 2 show schematic views of a handrail cleaning apparatus mounted to an escalator. After the handrail cleaning device is mounted to the escalator, a gap G is formed between the housing 1 of the handrail cleaning device and the front plate 2 of the escalator, and thus a protection device is required to fill or cover the gap, as shown in fig. 1. Thus, the protection device comprises a cover assembly 3 which is movable between a release position, in which the cover assembly exposes the gap G, and a cover position, in which the cover assembly covers the gap G, between the housing of the handrail belt cleaning apparatus and the front plate of the escalator. The protective device further comprises a fixing member which fixes the covering assembly in the covering position, for example, an adhesive provided at an end of the covering assembly abutting the front plate or a screw assembly which screws the covering assembly to the front plate. Advantageously, the cover assembly is flexible.
In an embodiment, as shown in fig. 2, the cover assembly 3 is linearly movable between the housing 1 of the handrail cleaning device and the front panel 2 of the escalator between a release position and a cover position, i.e. can be extended from the housing 1 towards the front panel 2 and can be retracted from the front panel 2 towards the housing 1. The covering assembly 3 comprises a plurality of plates 31, the plates 31 being stacked to form the covering assembly, each plate 31 being independently movable between the housing and the front plate, as shown in figure 3, showing the uppermost plate moving in a forward direction relative to the other plates. In the case where the gap between the housing and the front plate is irregular (for example, in the case where the front plate shown in fig. 1 is irregular), the gap can be filled.
As shown in fig. 3, 4 and 5, each plate member 31 has oblong holes 311, and the oblong holes of the plate members 31 are aligned to form a slot that passes through from top to bottom. The cover assembly 3 is surrounded by a frame 4, which frame 4 is mounted to the housing of the handrail belt cleaning apparatus, with inserts 41, which inserts 41 can be inserted into the slots such that each plate member is prevented from sliding completely out of the housing when it is moved between the housing and the front plate. It should be understood that instead of an insert to prevent each plate from sliding out, any other form of stop may be used to prevent each plate from sliding out. An end of each plate member facing the front plate is formed in a handle shape so as to pull or push the cover assembly in response to manipulation of the plate member, and is provided with an adhesive so as to be adhered to the front plate when each plate member is brought into contact with the front plate. Advantageously, each plate has flexibility. In this embodiment, the frame 4 has screw holes 42 into which screws are screwed and tightened after the plurality of plate members are linearly moved to the covering position, thereby fixing the plurality of plate members at the covering position.
In the above embodiments, the cover assembly may be pushed or pulled manually or electrically. As shown in fig. 7, in another embodiment, the protection device includes an elastic member (e.g., a spring) mounted to the handrail cleaning apparatus, which is connected with the cover assembly to elastically move the cover assembly into abutment with the front plate so as to cover a gap between the housing of the handrail cleaning apparatus and the front plate of the escalator.
As shown in fig. 8, in another embodiment, the cover assembly is rotatably movable between a release position and a cover position between the housing of the handrail cleaning device and the front plate of the escalator to cover a gap between the housing of the handrail cleaning device and the front plate of the escalator.
As shown in fig. 5, the protection device further includes a flexible member 5 mounted to the housing of the handrail cleaning apparatus, the flexible member being located at both sides of and adjacent to the guard rail of the escalator in the case where the handrail cleaning apparatus is mounted to the escalator, and covering a gap between the housing of the handrail cleaning apparatus and the guard rail such that the gap is less than a predetermined value, for example, 4 mm. Advantageously, the flexible member is in close contact with the guard rail 6 so as to completely cover the gap between the housing of the handrail cleaning device and the guard rail. Advantageously, the flexible member is a flexible strip, for example made of rubber. .
By the cover assembly and the flexible member of the protection device, it is possible to fill or cover the gaps between the handrail cleaning apparatus and the escalator when it is mounted to the escalator, thereby preventing passengers from being injured by being caught by the gaps.
The above description is merely illustrative of the present invention, which is set forth to enable one of ordinary skill in the art to fully practice the present invention, and not to limit the present invention. The technical features disclosed above are not limited to the combinations with other features disclosed, and other combinations between the technical features can be performed by those skilled in the art according to the purpose of the invention, so as to achieve the purpose of the invention.
