Equipment for the mechanized movement of persons or goods

Technical field

The invention relates to a device for the mechanized movement of persons or objects between two levels, in particular on a single-flight staircase comprising a straight hollow linear structure.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

According to the state of the art, escalators are used for diagonal transport of persons or things between multiple levels.

In the vast majority, escalators are used in public, commercial, airport, etc. buildings, where they are used for public transport. Due to the purpose of its use, complex and demanding technological and construction parts, price, especially the size of the enclosed space, etc. the use of an escalator is justified only for high-volume transport.

Quite different is the case of individual transport, where various devices such as platforms or chairs moving over staircases or various mechanisms, such as stair-climbs, etc., are used to overcome stair barriers. These systems, especially for people with reduced mobility, receive great attention worldwide and manufacturers compete in various types of such devices. A common disadvantage of these solutions is, for example, the one-sided use and price. For the reasons described above, the devices are not more widely used.

It is an object of the invention to provide a simple and inexpensive device for the mechanized movement of persons and objects which comprises a straight hollow linear structure.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

These disadvantages are minimized and the object of the invention is achieved by a device for individual mechanized movement of persons or objects according to the invention, which consists in that a guide head is displaceably disposed in the longitudinal direction of the linear structure. A longitudinal groove is formed in the linear structure and the guide head is provided with at least one means for connecting the escalator at the location of the longitudinal groove in the linear structure. This creates a simple and inexpensive device which can be advantageously placed, for example, close to the stair railing. The guide head is provided in the corners and preferably in two transverse planes with rolling elements which are in contact with the inner part of the linear structure. This ensures accurate guidance of the guide head within the linear structure and its easy movement.

For safety reasons, a gripping lever is rotatably mounted on the guide head to which the flexible element is attached and which, when the flexible element is released, is coupled by its free end to internal protrusions or openings provided in a linear construction to prevent collision of the guide head in linear construction.

A movable step is provided on the guide head, which comprises a platform and a handle. The actuator station controller is preferably integrated in the handle.

At least two outer stabilizing elements which are in contact with the underlying staircase are arranged on the linear structure for mounting on the staircase.

The escalator is preferably detachably mounted in the guide head.

The drive station is arranged on top of the linear structure, which ensures a simple and reliable drive.

When the drive station is switched on, the guide head is moved by means of a flexible element and also the moving step and the handle are moved up or down. In the upper or lower position, automatic stopping or motion stopping can occur at any desired level. In any serious collision with the release of the flexible element, the movement of the guide head on the inner projections or openings is blocked by means of the pivot lever of the gripper and thus the movement of the escalator from the handle is blocked.

Upward or downward movement can lead to a collision situation, eg the front, rear or bottom of the lower safety surface to an obstacle to which the flat safety structure responds by immediately stopping at least one power station in contact with the escalator surface.

Overview of the drawings

1, 2, 3, and 4 show an axonometric embodiment of an escalator for a single-flight staircase, wherein FIG. 1 shows the exterior and FIG. 4 the internal elements of the device. FIG. 2 and 3 show details of the outer elements of the device.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The axonometric device shown is constituted by a linear structure 1 made of one or more length pieces, which is preferably located close to the stair railing (stz) and lies at the edges of the stair steps (sts). The linear structure 1 is hollow, generally smooth on the outside circumference and has a longitudinal groove on one side for most of its length. Inside the linear structure 1 there is a guide head 5, which is provided in the corners and generally in two transverse planes with rolling elements which are in contact with the inner part of the linear structure I. The guide head 5 is preferably provided at its lower end with a gripping lever 6. is preferably rotatably attached to the guide head 5. A flexible element 7 is fastened to one end of the gripper lever 6, which is connected to a single-acting actuator station 4. The other end of the gripper lever 6 is in collision with the internal projections 9 or holes 10 provided in the linear construction i and prevents collision the guide head 5 in the linear structure 1 and hence the movement of the escalator. At least one or more mounting holes 8 are provided on the guide head 5 into which the darkness is inserted, which are part of the removable escalator 3 and the handrails 31. A flat safety structure 32 is suspended at the bottom of the removable escalator 3. the stabilizing elements 2 and 11 are located outside at least two transverse planes and extend at least one third of the width of the staircase. When the driving station 4 is switched on by means of a handle 31, the guide head 5 is moved by a flexible element 7. 3 and handles 31 up or down. In the upper or lower position, the escalator stops automatically. The escalator can be stopped at any desired level at any time. In any serious collision with the release of the flexible element 7, the movement of the guide head 5 on the inner projections 9 or openings 10 is blocked by the grip pivot lever 6, thereby blocking the movement of the movable step 3 and the handle 31.

Upward or downward movement can lead to a collision situation, eg the front, rear or lower part of the flat safety structure 32 being hit by an obstacle to which the flat safety structure 32 reacts by immediately contacting the drive surface of the removable escalator 3 station 4.
