Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Fahrtreppe oder einen Fahrsteig mit mindestens einem Tragwerk, das zwischen Auflagern abgestützt ist.The present invention relates to an escalator or a moving walkway with at least one supporting structure which is supported between supports.

Das Tragwerk einer herkömmlichen Fahrtreppe bzw. eines herkömmlichen Fahrsteigs kann nur eine relativ geringe Spannweite überbrücken. Es ist daher schon seit langem bekannt (siehe die Fig. 3 der DE 709291 C1 aus dem Jahre 1941), das Tragwerk durch eine Säule in der Mitte zu unterstützen. Will man noch längere Fahrtreppen bzw. Fahrsteige bauen, sind mehrere Säulen zur Unterstützung notwendig.The structure of a conventional escalator or a conventional moving walkway can bridge only a relatively small span. It has therefore been known for a long time (see the Fig. 3 of the DE 709291 C1 from 1941), to support the structure by a pillar in the middle. If you want to build even longer escalators or moving walks, several columns are needed to support.

Nachteilig ist dabei, dass der Platz unter dem Fahrsteig bzw. unter der Fahrtreppe nur sehr schlecht genutzt werden kann, weil die Säulen im Weg sind.The disadvantage here is that the space under the moving walkway or under the escalator can be used only very poorly, because the pillars are in the way.

Es ist Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, eine Fahrtreppe bzw. einen Fahrsteig der eingangs genannten Art so abzuändern, dass der Platz im Bereich der Fahrtreppe bzw. des Fahrsteiges besser genützt werden kann.It is an object of the present invention to modify an escalator or a moving walk of the type mentioned so that the space in the escalator or the moving walkway can be better used.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch einen Fahrsteig bzw. eine Fahrtreppe der eingangs genannten Art erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, dass zur Abstützung zumindest ein Bogen oder zumindest eine Säule vorgesehen ist und dass das Tragwerk an mehreren Stellen mit dem Bogen bzw. der Säule über Seile oder Stangen verbunden ist.This object is achieved by a moving walkway or an escalator of the type mentioned in the present invention, that for supporting at least one sheet or at least one column is provided and that the structure is connected at several points to the bow or the column via ropes or rods ,

Bei Verwendung einer Säule kann man das Tragwerk nach Art der Schrägseilbrücke z.B. an neun Stellen lagern, obwohl mit Ausnahme einer Stelle der gesamte Bereich unter dem Fahrsteig bzw. unter der Fahrtreppe frei bleibt. Ähnliches gilt für den Bogen, wobei hier zusätzlich günstig ist, dass der Bogen in der Nähe der Auflager sein Fundament hat, so dass ein sehr langer zusammenhängender Bereich frei bleibt.When using a column, the structure can be made in the manner of the cable-stayed bridge, e.g. store in nine places, with the exception of one area where the entire area under the moving walkway or under the escalator remains empty. The same applies to the arch, whereby it is additionally favorable that the arch has its foundation in the vicinity of the supports, so that a very long continuous area remains free.

Es ist günstig, wenn jeweils zu beiden Seiten des Fahrsteiges bzw. der Fahrtreppe eine Säule bzw. ein Bogen vorgesehen ist, die sich oberhalb der Fahrtreppe nähern oder zusammenlaufen. Auf diese Weise wird die seitliche Stabilität erhöht, und es ergibt sich außerdem ein elegantes, schlankes Aussehen.It is advantageous if in each case on both sides of the moving walk or the escalator a column or a bow is provided, which approach or converge above the escalator. In this way, the lateral stability is increased, and it also gives an elegant, sleek look.

Weitere Merkmale und Vorteile der Erfindung gehen aus der nachstehenden Beschreibung zweier Ausführungsbeispiele anhand der Zeichnungen hervor. Es zeigen:

Fig. 1
einen erfindungsgemässen Fahrsteig mit einer Säule von der Seite,
Fig. 2
eine Ansicht gemäß Pfeil II in Fig. 1,
Fig. 3
einen erfindungsgemäßen Fahrsteig mit einem Bogen von der Seite und

Further features and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the following description of two embodiments with reference to the drawings. Show it:
Fig. 1
an inventive moving walkway with a pillar from the side,
Fig. 2
a view according to arrow II in Fig. 1 .
Fig. 3
a moving walkway according to the invention with a bow from the side and
Fig. 4
a view according to arrow IV in Fig. 3 ,

Der Fahrsteig ist allgemein mit 1 (siehe Fig. 1 bis 4) bezeichnet. Er weist zu beiden Seiten ein Tragwerk 11 auf, welches in üblicher Weise in der Art eines Fachwerks aufgebaut ist. Das Tragwerk 11 ist an seinen beiden Enden in Auflagern 4 unterstützt.The moving walk is generally 1 (see Fig. 1 to 4 ) designated. He has on both sides of a structure 11, which is constructed in the usual manner in the manner of a truss. The structure 11 is supported at its two ends in supports 4.

Gemäß den Fig. 1 und 2 ist zu beiden Seiten des Fahrsteiges 1 eine Säule 2 vorgesehen, so dass sich insgesamt ein Pylon ergibt. An diesen Säulen 2 sind in verschiedenen Höhen Seile 3 befestigt, die schräg zum Tragwerk 11 abgespannt sind und dieses in der Art einer Schrägseilbrücke unterstützen. Gemäß diesem Beispiel sind zu beiden Seiten und für jedes Tragwerk 11 jeweils vier Seile 3 vorgesehen (also insgesamt 16 Seile). Der Fahrsteig 1 ist somit zwischen den Auflagern 4 an insgesamt neun Punkten unterstützt, dennoch bleibt - bis auf die Säulen 2 in der Mitte - der gesamte Raum unterhalb des Fahrsteiges 1 frei. Die beiden Säulen 2 haben unten einen relativ großen Abstand (siehe Fig. 2) und laufen oberhalb des Fahrsteiges 1 ineinander. Dadurch ist auch die seitliche Stabilität gewährleistet. Selbstverständlich ist ein entsprechend tiefes, betoniertes Fundament notwendig. Um noch größere Distanzen zu überbrücken, können natürlich auch mehrere Pylone vorgesehen werden.According to the Fig. 1 and 2 is provided on both sides of the moving walk 1, a column 2, so that the overall result is a pylon. At these columns 2 ropes 3 are fixed at different heights, which are braced at an angle to the supporting structure 11 and support this in the manner of a cable-stayed bridge. According to this example, four ropes 3 are provided on both sides and for each supporting structure 11 (thus a total of 16 ropes). The moving walk 1 is thus supported between the supports 4 at a total of nine points, yet remains - except for the columns 2 in the middle - the entire space below the moving walk 1 free. The two columns 2 have a relatively large distance below (see Fig. 2 ) and run above the moving walk 1 into each other. As a result, the lateral stability is ensured. Of course, a correspondingly deep, concrete foundation is necessary. To bridge even greater distances, of course, several pylons can be provided.

Gemäß den Fig. 3 und 4 ist zu beiden Seiten des Fahrsteiges 1 ein Bogen 12 vorgesehen. Diese Bögen 12 haben unten einen größeren Abstand als oben und sind an mehreren Stellen durch Streben 14 miteinander verbunden. Dadurch und durch Diagonalstreben 15 ergibt sich die notwendige seitliche Stabilität.According to the 3 and 4 is on both sides of the moving walk 1, a sheet 12 is provided. These bows 12 are below a greater distance than above and are connected at several points by struts 14. This and diagonal struts 15 results in the necessary lateral stability.

Von den Bögen 12 sind Seile 13 zu den Tragwerken 11 abgespannt. In diesem Beispiel werden die Tragwerke 11 an insgesamt fünf Punkten zwischen den Auflagern 4 unterstützt. Dennoch bleibt nahezu der gesamte Bereich unterhalb des Fahrsteiges 1 frei, sieht man von den Fundamenten für die Bögen 12 ab, die in der Nähe der Auflager 4 liegen.Of the sheets 12 ropes 13 are braced to the structures 11. In this example, the structures 11 are supported at a total of five points between the supports 4. Nevertheless, almost the entire area below the moving walk 1 remains free, apart from the foundations for the bows 12, which lie in the vicinity of the support 4.

Derartige Fahrsteige bzw. Fahrtreppen können bei Messen, Ausstellungen, Bahnhöfen und so weiter Anwendung finden, um große Distanzen ohne hohe Anzahl an Mittellagern zu überbrücken.Such walkways or escalators can be used at trade fairs, exhibitions, railway stations and so on, to bridge large distances without a high number of center bearings.
