Definitions

  • the invention relates to an escalator or moving walk with a handrail, according to the preamble of claim 1, and a handrail, according to the preamble of claim 13.
  • Escalators and moving walks with handrails are known at which the handrail, which is essentially the shape of a lying C has a guide body in the middle mostly with bevelled flanks.
  • This guide body is referred to as a wedge, although it is usually not pointed tends to, and is used in particular to improve portability a deflection wheel for the handrail.
  • the handrails are supposed to a good and especially slip-free can, on the other hand, slide well on guide elements.
  • Escalators and moving walks with handrails have also become known, that do without a guide body.
  • Such handrails are often used for transparent balustrades, around the passenger's view of a rotating Spare deflection wheel.
  • Such solutions have been around since long known, for example to DE-AS 15 56 311 is referencing.
  • Have handrails equipped with a wedge on the other hand basically the advantage that the drive over a V-belt pulley with a correspondingly low slip can be done.
  • the V-belt pulley can either be used as a deflection wheel be realized in the balustrade head, or it can not visible via an additional built-in semicircular Drive the handrail around such a wheel. This drive is much better than the drive with friction rollers that promote wear on the handrail, so that he regularly after the relevant maintenance interval needs to be replaced.
  • the invention has for its object a Escalator or moving walk according to the preamble of Claim 1 and a handrail according to the preamble of Claim 13 to create the or the escalators or moving walks without deflection wheels in the balustrade heads, especially with escalators or moving walks see-through balustrades, which offers the possibility of a improved drive safety of the handrail and at the same time an improved synchronization over the step or Ensure pallet belt.
  • a handrail Guide body the preferably suitably designed drive flanks has, is used, which still has support rollers is guided in the deflection area of the handrail.
  • an improved handrail can also be used with glass balustrade escalators and moving walkways.
  • the drive can be in proven way concealed by a semicircle loop a drive wheel with a V-belt pulley, where at this point the length compensation required anyway can be done.
  • the measures according to the invention enable that the handrail according to the invention in the deflection area, that is The area of the support rollers for the balustrade head does not tilt.
  • known horizontal end legs of the guide plate provided, which is also in the deflection area in the inner ends of the substantially C-shaped profile stretch in.
  • the handrail is preferably quite narrow and overall flat. This saves material, on the one hand, and indeed more material than it is for the additional provision of the Guide body is required, the other are the side Tipping moments less. Finally, the third one better handrail by the passengers on a regular basis than felt pleasant; children in particular often have difficulties the usual and for reasons of stability rather wide handrails to hold on to.
  • the guide body has a stabilizing effect.
  • the inclination of the Handrail to deform transversely at the bend when a pure C shape is strongly pronounced with a wedge shape, basically a ⁇ -shape, much smaller.
  • the degree of compression and thus the material stress Because of the reduction in dimensions, particularly in the vertical direction less so that the handrail according to the invention also less to cracking on the heavily used top tends.
  • the handrail according to the invention is therefore also special Suitable for escalators and moving walks that are at least partially run outdoors, such as escalators for Subway entrances or the like.
  • the guide body down to about the area of the stop ends of the profile. This allows one for the Provide the drive with a suitable, comparatively large inclined surface, which are driven on a corresponding deflection roller is. Nevertheless, there remains a large contact area for the tip-proof Detour on support rollers in the deflection area of the balustrade.
  • a support roller two support rollers spaced apart insert, which is just to the side of the guide body fit inside the handrail and such a width have that they just barely pass through the guide plate allow to the side of the holding ends. It is preferred to use a guide plate with horizontal end legs, which engage in the inner ends of the profile to a To ensure lift-off protection also in the deflection area, if these are also less critical than in the straight area of the handrail is.
  • This solution enables a particularly compact and flat Construction of the handrail, which is also shortened in height, and is therefore particularly suitable for escalators and moving walks Glass balustrades suitable. It is understood that the free space between the holding ends and the guide body and its Trapezoidal flanks meet the requirements in wide areas can be adjusted. For example, the height of the handrail can be reduced to only 20 mm for this configuration. By using support rollers of 20 mm Diameter is the height required for the function then only 30 mm, with the space between the two Support rollers below the axis for the passage of cables or a light well can be used. This The solution is characterized by an extremely compact design from, but still good long-term stability of the handrail can be expected, especially since the total width of the total of the handrail on the support rollers is quite 1 cm or can be more.
  • the embodiment of an escalator shown in Fig. 1 has a handrail 10, which is essentially in the form of a lying ⁇ is formed.
  • the handrail has a guide body 12, which - in the representation in Fig. 1 - extends downwards in the middle.
  • the ends of the handrail 10 are bent in a conventional manner by 180 ° and run in Holding ends 14, 16, which are intended for this purpose from FIG. 2 apparent horizontal end leg of a guide plate for reach behind the handrail guide.
  • the horizontal end legs enter inside ends 18, 20 of the handrail.
  • the guide body 12 then points to the main part of the Handrail on a rectangular area 22 that few Extends millimeters down. Then converge on it two trapezoidal edges 24 of the guide body 12, wherein the trapezoidal flanks are preferably at an angle of 20 ° to 50 ° to one another about 35 °.
  • the guide body 12 runs out in a support surface 26, the an increased width compared to the overall cross section of the Handrail 10 has. Between the holding ends 14, 16 and Trapezoidal edges 24, the handrail has a free space 28 that is also relatively large.
  • the handrail 10 is comparatively compact formed and has a cross-sectional area with relative large material thicknesses, but small overall dimensions.
  • the handrail As a result, but in particular also due to the low height of the Handrail is the inclination of the handrail when turning in the Guide area to wave, relatively small, so the handrail Also particularly suitable for escalators and moving walks which have a lower balustrade height, as in different countries is desired. Alternatively, one particularly abrasion-resistant and somewhat less elastic rubber compound be used, which is also the durability of the Handrail benefits.
  • Fig. 2 From Fig. 2 it can be seen in what way the inventive Handrail on an escalator in the deflection area of the Balustrade can be used.
  • the inventive Handrail on an escalator in the deflection area of the Balustrade can be used.
  • there is one Escalator depicted with massive balustrade being it understands that if desired, an escalator with Glass balustrade can be realized accordingly.
  • the diversion takes place via support rollers 38, which have a race 40 and a double ball bearing 42 are provided.
  • the guide body 12 rolls with his Contact surface 26 from.
  • the detour is completely over Rolling friction realized so that the guide plate 44 with his horizontal end legs 46, 48 only serve as a safety catch.
  • the horizontal end legs 46, 48 are known per se Way provided with an end fold 50 and protrude into the inner ends 18, 20 in.
  • the guide plate 44 is essentially in a manner known per se U-shaped and takes the support rollers on their axes 54. Via an extruded profile 56 the guide plate 44 is additionally supported and secured, the remaining space between the extruded profile 56 and the final fold 50 on the one hand and the Handrail, i.e. the inner ends 18, 20 and the holding ends 14, 16, on the other hand, in a wide range of requirements is customizable. For example, indoors mounted escalators and moving walks where regular there are less temperature fluctuations, the free space be interpreted accordingly lower.
  • Fig. 3 it can be seen that numerous, in the example 25, support rollers 38 distributed over a balustrade head 60 may be appropriate.
  • the distance between the support rollers 38 is therefore too low due to the inherent rigidity of the handrail 10 chosen as that for the passenger - if he has his Hand in the area of the balustrade head - one Out of roundness would be noticeable.
  • a variety of reduced Support roles also the accruing flexing work; over the whole The handrail remains with the semicircular balustrade head minimal deviations curved around.
  • each ball bearing 64, 66 the use of flat fasteners on the guide plate how riveting is preferred.
  • 16 slightly bevelled on the inside, so that here too the necessary Game is given.
  • the guide plate 44 is preferably essentially W-shaped formed so that its symmetrical interior 70 at bearing surface 26 not used in this embodiment is approximated, and either immediately in a manner known per se be clamped onto a balustrade glass pane can, or if necessary as an additional recording channel used for control lines, light elements or the like can be. It is understood that an inventive Handrail especially for extremely long moving walks suitable is. Because of the low elasticity required the longitudinal elongation is also lower, depending on the material, and also the inclination of the rubber or plastic mixture when Dodging the drive is less.
  • a V-belt pulley is preferably sunk arranged in the base of the escalator or moving walk, which is wrapped around the semicircle by the guide body being, the constant tension of the handrail over a spring-loaded pinch roller in the immediate vicinity the drive pulley can be ensured. This can the drive of the handrail, without slipping inclined drive wheels in the manner of a V-belt and take place with appropriate security.
