Definitions
- the invention relates to a drive for escalators or moving walks, which is arranged within the step or pallet belt, with a transfer case with two output shafts, namely one for the handrail and one for the step or pallet belt, each output shaft each having a drive wheel for driving the same is provided, as well as with a drive unit for the transfer case which is arranged between the drive shafts and which has at least one electric motor with planetary gear.
- Such a drive is known from DE 35 26 905 C2 of the applicant.
- This known drive has a transfer case with two output shafts, on which a motor-transmission module is arranged, which drives a fixed gear in the transfer case via a multi-stage planetary gear, which is in operative connection with the gears of the output shafts for the step belt and for the handrail stands.
- the drive gear is mounted in the housing of the transfer case, while the motor-transmission module forms a separate unit and is operatively connected to the drive gear after assembly.
- the object of the invention is to improve a generic transmission, in particular in order to achieve a simpler assembly and to be able to use structurally simpler and therefore less expensive components.
- the central drive for the transfer case is no longer arranged in the transfer case itself, but is designed as a drive stage connected to the planetary gear, which is designed as a common assembly unit with the electric motor and the planetary gear.
- This drive stage can be designed as a reduction, so that reduction can be saved in the planetary gear itself, which makes the planetary gear much less expensive.
- the assembly of the transfer case itself is much easier since it does not contain the actual drive elements.
- the assembly unit is also easy to assemble, since it only has to be flanged to the housing of the transfer case or attached in some other way.
- the drive wheels of both output shafts are each designed as a gearwheel and the drive stage of the assembly unit drives both gearwheels directly.
- the drive stage is designed only for the direct drive of the drive wheel of the output shaft designed as a gearwheel for the step or pallet belt and the output shaft for the handrail via a drive chain with the output drive shaft for the step or pallet belt is connected.
- the drive stage of the assembly unit is designed as a gear stage which has a pinion connected to the output of the planetary gear and at least one idler gear. It is thus possible in a simple manner to accommodate an additional reduction, which is firmly connected to the planetary gear, outside the planetary gear, but in the common assembly unit, as a result of which reduction can be saved in the planetary gear itself.
- both output shafts are equipped with drive gear wheels, it is of course provided that the gear stage has two intermediate wheels, which can advantageously have different widths.
- the at least one intermediate wheel is mounted on a pin which is fixedly connected to the housing of the mounting unit.
- Fig. 1 shows a section through a drive according to the invention
- FIG. 2 shows an enlarged sectional view of the common assembly unit of the drive according to FIG. 1.
- a drive according to the invention is provided, which is arranged within the step or pallet belt, not shown, as this arrangement is basically known for escalators or moving walks, for example from DE 35 26 905 C2.
- the output shafts 12 and 13 are part of a transfer case, the housing of which is designated 14 and in which the output shafts 12, 13 are mounted.
- Another component of the transfer case is a drive gear 10 or 11, which is connected to the associated output shaft 12, 13 in a manner fixed against relative rotation.
- a mounting unit which has an electric motor 1 with planetary gear 2, as well as a drive stage connected to the output of the planetary gear 2 and designed as a gear stage in the exemplary embodiment.
- this gear stage comprises a pinion 9 connected to the output shaft of the planetary gear 2 and two intermediate gears 7 and 8, the intermediate gear 7 meshing with the drive gear 10 of the output shaft 12 and the intermediate gear 8 with the drive gear 11 of the output shaft 13 in the assembled state.
- the intermediate wheels 7, 8 are each rotatably mounted on a pin 5 or 6, which are fixed to a housing 4 of the common assembly unit 3.
- Fig. 2 shows the complete assembly unit 3 before assembly on the housing 14 of the transfer case.
- This common assembly unit 3 can be easily flange-mounted on the housing 14 of the transfer case, which with the reference numeral 15 is indicated.
- step-up or step-down from the electric motor 1 thus takes place first via the planetary gear 2 and then via the additional gear stage 9, 7, 8 to the drive gears 10 and 11 of the output shafts 12, 13.
- the output shaft 13 is not driven via a drive gear 11 and the intermediate wheel 8, but via a chain drive or the like. from the output shaft 12, as is known per se, for example from DE 35 26 905 C2.
- the width of the intermediate wheel 7 for the output shaft 12 of the step or pallet belt is preferably greater than that of the other intermediate wheel 8.
