Definitions

  • the invention relates to a cleaning device for a glass covering which laterally covers the structure of an escalator or a conveyor belt for people.
  • glass cladding has not only been planned for the balustrades but also increasingly for the lateral covering of the supporting structures of the escalators.
  • a major problem with this design is cleaning, especially the inner surfaces of the glass cladding. It has been shown that these inner surfaces become more polluted than the outer ones. When dust and dirt are wiped off the shoes of passers-by on the surfaces of the step tread plates, at least some of them also get inside the escalator. The air circulation inside the escalator created by the circumferential band of steps then entails that dust particles are also deposited on the inner side surfaces of the glass cladding. For this reason it is necessary to clean these surfaces from time to time.
  • the invention has for its object to provide an inexpensive cleaning device for the surfaces of the side glass cladding of an escalator structure, which can be used with any escalator arrangement and in which the glass panes must be removed or opened or removed and with which the cleaning of the surfaces the glass paneling can be carried out by the cleaning staff without the risk of an accident.
  • the advantages achieved by the invention are essentially to be seen in the fact that the surfaces of the side glass cladding of the escalator structure can be cleaned without cleaning personnel having to have access to these surfaces from the inside or outside of the escalator, so that cleaning is possible at all times , if necessary also during the operation of the escalator, can be carried out by a single operator and that the risk of accidents for cleaning personnel and the risk of glass breakage are completely eliminated by the cleaning.
  • any escalator arrangement on the construction site is possible without taking into account any cleaning device according to the invention that may be attached to the escalator.
  • 1 denotes the structure of the escalator.
  • the upper chord of the structure 1 receives the number 2, the lower chord the number 3.
  • the oblique part of the structure 1 is laterally covered by a glass panel 4, while the horizontal upper part 20 and the horizontal lower part 21 are clad with steel sheets.
  • a balustrade 22 is built above the supporting structure 1.
  • a lower step plate of the escalator is designated 24, an upper step plate 25.
  • a cleaning trolley 7 is arranged between the supporting structure 1 and the glass cladding 4 and can be moved obliquely up and down on rollers 9 and a support roller 10 on associated guide rails. The cleaning carriage 7 is displaced via an endlessly connected traction cable 12 by a cable drive 11 driven by an electric motor 23.
  • the traction cable 12 is deflected around a tensioning roller 13 arranged at the lower end of the escalator.
  • a wiper blade attached to the cleaning trolley 7 is designated 8. 2, the cleaning trolley 7 is shown more clearly on a somewhat larger scale. It runs on the lower rollers 9 on a U-shaped guide rail 6 and is supported with the support roller 10 on an upper guide rail 5.
  • a wiper blade 8 directed against the glass panes is adjustably attached to the cleaning trolley 7.
  • a sponge strip 16 or spray nozzles 17 can be provided on the side next to the wiper blade for a further embodiment variant.
  • the cleaning carriage is moved back and forth as desired by the pull rope 12.
  • Fig. 3 shows the cleaning car 7 running between the glass cladding 4 and the supporting structure I in side view.
  • the guide rail 6 is fastened, on which the rollers 9 of the cleaning trolley 7 roll.
  • the guide rail 5 is attached, on which the support roller 10 is supported.
  • a support profile 18 provided with openings is provided over the entire length of the glass cladding 4 for receiving an irrigation hose 14.
  • a base cover profile 15 covers the support profile 18 and the irrigation hose 14 and at the same time serves as an upper holder for the glass cladding 4.
  • a wiper blade 8 On the inside of the glass cladding 4 there is a wiper blade 8, which is either attached to the cleaning trolley by means of screw bolts 19, or as a variant not shown springs is supported on the cleaning trolley.
  • the cleaning trolley is connected to the traction cable 12 with the cable drive 11.
  • one or more lines with spray nozzles and a pump with cleaning nozzles arranged on the cleaning trolley could be provided, during the movement of the cleaning trolley back and forth cleaning liquid is continuously sprayed onto the surface of the glass panel in front of the wiper blade.
  • the cleaning trolley could also be equipped with rollers and a slide support guide or only with slide guides instead of with rollers and support rollers.
  • a manual drive could also be provided, the operator being able to use a mechanical deflection device, not shown, to move the cleaning trolley by means of a hand crank from the upper entry plate of the escalator.
