The specific embodiment

Below,, first embodiment of device of passenger conveyor of the present invention is described to escalator shown in Figure 3 according to Fig. 1.

In general, escalator 1, have framework 4, upper surface that cross over to go up floor 2 and following floor 3 and be supported be provided with pedal 5S step 5, be vertically set on the railing 6 of the moving direction both sides of step 5, mobile moving hand-rail 7 and floor, gangway 8A, the 8B of the described step 5 of coming in and going out by the periphery guiding of this railing 6.

A plurality of described steps 5 are to be connected with step chain 9 and by being arranged on guide rail (not shown) guiding on the described framework 4 mobile structure that circulates with ring-type.In addition, described step chain 9 is crossed over and is wound on pivot suspension on drive sprocket 10 and the driven sprocket 11 on the opposite side at length direction on the side of the length direction of described framework 4.Drive sprocket 10 is driven by the contiguous actuating device that is provided with 12, and described moving hand-rail 7 also relies on the power of actuating device 12 synchronously to be driven with step 5.

In addition, described gangway floor 8A (8B), have with last floor 2 and following floor 3 be in same level, front end inclination with near the walking portion 13 of step 5 and be fixed on walking portion 13 leading section and with the pedal 5S that is formed on described step 5 on tread plate with not way of contact ingear fishback 14.

Described walking portion 13 has cover plate 15 and supports the supporting mass 16,17 of this cover plate 15 from the below, and wherein fishback 14 also is fixed on the supporting mass 16.

And, in order to maintain to the drive sprocket 10 and driven sprocket 11 and the actuating device 12 etc. that are arranged on the below, cover plate 15 is divided into 4 of the first cover plate 15A, the second cover plate 15B, the 3rd cover plate 15C and the 4th cover plate 15D etc., and these cover plates can partly be installed in fixing respectively supporting mass 16,17 on the framework 4 or from framework 4 and dismantle.

In addition, described cover plate 15A to 15D is provided with concavo-convex non-slip patterns (not shown), slip in lid surface in case halt passerby, and, on the first cover plate 15A of the gangway that becomes escalator 1 by guiding fence 18 zonings, be formed with braille piece 19, this braille piece 19 is configured to a plurality of projectioies and protrudes towards face side.These non-slip patterns and braille piece 19 for example can be shaped by methods such as punching presses, by of this sort punch process, can obtain the work hardening degree, and intensity is improved, and therefore can reduce the thickness of cover plate 15, realize lightweight.

And, described braille piece 19 is a kind of normalized, caveat braille pieces with big point-like projection, being used to remind this place of visually impaired person is the gangway of escalator 1, compare with the situation that described braille piece 19 is set in step 5 fronts that rotate, by described braille piece 19 being set, can remind visually impaired person to arouse attention early at a distance of the place more than the step 30cm.

By described braille piece 19 being arranged to the point-like convex type braille piece that caveat is used, visually impaired person can last floor 2 and following floor 3 places discover the gangway that oneself has been in escalator 1 near.And, though can consider braille piece 19 is arranged on the part of close fishback 14 sides of floor, gangway 8A (8B), but iff braille piece 19 being set in part near fishback 14 sides, then because this place's rotating step 5 of distance is too near, so have danger, and by in advance near on floor 2 and following floor 3 sides braille piece 19 is set, can remind that this place of visually impaired person is exactly the discrepancy oral area of escalator 1, thereby cause the attention of visually impaired person.In addition, plan to utilize the visually impaired person of escalator 1, can advance forward modestly, perhaps do not plan to utilize the visually impaired person of escalator 1 then can avoid escalator 1 walking.

In addition, shown in the long and two-short dash line of Fig. 2, by cutting apart the first cover plate 15A, the punch process operation in the time of can making things convenient for braille piece 19 to be shaped.That is,, then can increase distortion of materials, make the shaping work that in given size, forms the braille piece become difficult if by punch process a plurality of projectioies are shaped simultaneously on a large scale.And carry out punch process on the cover plate of fritter being divided into, distortion of materials is little, thereby can obtain the braille piece 19 in the given size.

As mentioned above, according to present embodiment since with braille piece 19 direct forming on the first cover plate 15A, so can solve fully in the conventional art because of the various defectives that mutual independent structure occurs are arranged on braille piece and floor, gangway.

In addition, by adopting methods such as punching press on the first cover plate 15A, to form braille piece 19, rear side at braille piece 19 has formed empty 19A, because the existence of this cavity 19A, the crutch front end of visually impaired person is when contact braille piece 19, metallic sound obtains amplifying and produces echo, so can make the existence of braille piece 19 become more remarkable.

Fig. 4 represents second embodiment of device of passenger conveyor of the present invention, and in the present embodiment, the structure different with first embodiment is the shaped structure of the braille piece 19 under the situation that guiding fence 18 is not set.

That is, when guiding fence 18 was not set, as mentioned above, common pedestrian can be horizontally through floor, gangway 8A (8B)., if common pedestrian owing to can confirm whether the front has escalator by visual, can not go wrong so be horizontally through floor, gangway 8A (8B) yet.But if visually impaired person because whether it has escalator in face of can't confirming, so exist with running in the danger that bumps of moving hand-rail 10.

Therefore, if guiding fence 18 is not set, then can be at the braille piece 20 of the three sides formation コ of close the last floor 2 (following floor 3) of described gangway floor 8A (8B) word shape.Braille piece group 20A is used for the passenger who advances along the moving direction of step 5 is carried out caveat, this point is identical with first embodiment, and braille piece group 20B and braille piece group 20C then are used for the passenger who is horizontally through floor, gangway 8A (8B) from last floor 2 (following floor 3) is carried out caveat.

Like this, form braille piece 20, can provide careful quality service to visually impaired person by three sides at floor, gangway 8A (8B).

In addition, in Fig. 4, adopt prosign to represent with parts identical among Fig. 3 of Fig. 1, and omit the explanation of these parts.And, punch process operation for convenience, shown in the long and two-short dash line of Fig. 4, the first cover plate 15A is divided into braille cover plate 15a with braille piece 20 and the cover plate 15b that does not have braille piece 20, and can be further the size of braille cover plate 15a be subdivided into the size of carrying out the punch process operation easily.

In the present embodiment, on the width of whole gangway floor 8A (8B), formed

braille piece

19,20, but can on whole width, not form yet, for example, as shown in Figure 5, in width Ws scope more a little bit smaller slightly than the width dimensions W of step 5, that can guarantee to step into safely, form braille piece 21, the caveat that also can produce equal effect to visually impaired person.

Specifically, for visually impaired person being directed to safely step 5 places of escalator 1, be necessary width dimensions to visually impaired person prompting step 5., if that prompting is the whole width dimensions W of step 5, then its pin may touch protection skirtboard SG, therefore is unworthy recommending on safety.For this reason, described braille piece 21 is arranged on it can guarantees in the safety corresponding scope of width Ws of stepping into, so that only remove the attention zone (not shown) that is illustrated in left and right sides width Ws notice part, that the passenger can step into safely visually impaired person among the whole width dimensions W with step 5.At this moment, on the first cover plate 15A in the first to fourth cover plate 15A to 15D that constitutes cover plate 15, form and the corresponding braille piece 21 of width Ws that can guarantee that safety is stepped into.Then, the first cover plate 15A is divided into braille cover plate 15a with braille piece 21 and the cover plate 15b that does not have braille piece 21, and further shown in long and two-short dash line, the size of braille cover plate 15a is divided into the size of carrying out the punch process operation easily.

Like this, by by braille piece 21 prompting than the whole width dimensions W of step 5 narrow, can guarantee the width Ws that safety is stepped into, thereby can be with guiding visually impaired person to step 5 places and away from protection skirtboard SG.

As mentioned above, according to each embodiment of the present invention, loose and unsteady problem takes place and has obtained solution in the braille plate, but also can adopt method such as punching press, simply braille piece and non-slip patterns is arranged on the floor, gangway together.

In above-mentioned each embodiment, as device of passenger conveyor, escalator is illustrated, and the present invention can certainly be applicable to electronic passage.
