Abstract

An escalator (1) has electromagnetic wave sensitive sensors (12) that are arranged within the handrail deflection region of a balustrade pedestal (3), and having predetermined wavelength longer than 100 micrometers. The sensor monitors the entrance plate (14) of an escalator in order to switch-on an escalator driver before entry of passenger.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Einrichtung zur Vorraumüberwachung für Fahrtreppen und Fahrsteige zur Steuerung des Antriebes.The invention relates to a device for vestibule monitoring for Escalators and moving walks to control the drive.

Bei bekannten Steuerungen für Fahrtreppen wird der Antrieb bei einer unbenutzten Fahrtreppe ausgeschaltet. Nähern sich Fahrgäste der Fahrtreppe, so wird zum Beispiel beim Durchschreiten einer Lichtschranke ein Impuls ausgelöst und der Antrieb eingeschaltet. Nach Ablauf einer vorgegebenen Zeitdauer, frühestens nach Verlassen des letzten Fahrgastes der Fahrtreppe wird der Antrieb wieder abgeschaltet.In known controls for escalators, the drive is at a unused escalator turned off. Approaching passengers of the Escalator, as is the case when passing through a light barrier a pulse is triggered and the drive is switched on. After expiration of a given time, at the earliest after leaving the last Passenger of the escalator, the drive is switched off again.

Beispielsweise ist aus der US 1 985 563 ein Steuerungssystem für Antriebe von Fahrtreppen bekanntgeworden, bei dem am Zugang zur Fahrtreppe Säulen mit einer Lichtschranke angeordnet sind. Durchschreitet ein Fahrgast den Lichtstrahl, so wird die im unbenutzten Zustand stehende Fahrtreppe eingeschaltet.For example, from US 1 985 563 a control system for drives from escalators, at the entrance to the escalator Columns are arranged with a light barrier. Go through Passenger the light beam, so is the standing in the unused state Escalator switched on.

Bei der vorstehend beschriebenen Lösung wird die Lichtschranke von der Fahrtreppe distanziert auf separaten Säulen angeordnet. Dies erfordert einen zusätzlichen und unnötigen Material- und Installationsaufwand. Desweitern wird ein Fahrgast nicht zwingend durch die Lichtschranke geleitet. Eine Person, die das Steuerungssystem nicht kennt und sich der stehenden Fahrtreppe von der Seite her nähert, kann durch umgehen der Lichtschranke die Fahrtreppe betreten, ohne das diese eingeschaltet wird. Dies kann den nachteiligen Eindruck einer defekten oder unzuverlässigen Fahrtreppe erwecken.In the solution described above, the light barrier of the Escalator distanced arranged on separate columns. This requires an additional and unnecessary material and installation costs. Furthermore, a passenger is not necessarily through the light barrier directed. A person who does not know the control system and the Standing escalator approaching from the side, can bypass the Photoelectric enter the escalator without this is turned on. This can be the detrimental impression of a broken or unreliable one To raise an escalator.

Weiter ist mit der EP 0 621 225 eine Anzeige- und Informationseinrichtung für eine Fahrtreppe bekanntgeworden, die in die Balustrade eingebaut wird. Diese paneelenartige Einrichtung wird lösbar an der Balustrade verbunden. Diese Einrichtung enthält mehrere Bauteile, wie Lichtschranken, Anzeigeelemente usw..Next is with EP 0 621 225 a display and information device become known for an escalator, which is installed in the balustrade. This panel-like device is detachably connected to the balustrade. This device contains several components, such as light barriers, Display elements etc.

Eine Betriebsart wie bereits oben beschrieben ist durch diese Lichtschranke nicht mehr möglich. Betritt ein Fahrgast die stehende Fahrtreppe und durchbricht auf Höhe der Handlaufumlenkung die Lichtschranke würde dadurch der Antrieb eingeschaltet. In diesem Fall entsteht ein unangenehmer, möglicherweise sogar gefährlicher und dadurch dem Fahrgast unzumutbarer Zustand, da dieser beim Anfahren bereits auf den Stufen der Fahrtreppe steht. Desweitern ist auch bei dieser Lösung eine zusätzliche Paneele notwendig um Bauteile, wie die Lichtschranke, unterzubringen. Diese Paneele mindert zudem die Optik der möglicherweise aus Glas bestehenden Balustrade und bietet praktisch keinen Schutz gegen Vandalismus.An operating mode as already described above is through this light barrier not possible anymore. A passenger enters the standing escalator and breaks through at the height of the handrail deflection the photocell would this activates the drive. In this case arises more unpleasant, possibly even more dangerous and thereby the Passenger unreasonable condition, since this already at the start on the Steps of the escalator stands. Desweitern is synonymous with this solution one additional panels necessary for components such as the light barrier, accommodate. This panel also reduces the appearance of the possibly made of glass balustrade and offers practical no protection against vandalism.

Das Patent EP 0847956 zeigt im Bereich der Handlaufumlenkung angeordnete Lichtsensoren mit Sendern und Empfängern, welche den gesamten Vorraum der Fahrtreppe überwachen. Diese Vorrichtung ist unauffällig, aber immer noch sichtbar und darum nicht vollkommen vandalensicher. Ausserdem werden diese Lichtsensoren von Witterungseinflüssen fehlgeleitet und z.B. bei direkter Sonnenlichteinstrahlung ausgelöst. Solche Sensoren benötigen auch grosse und teuere Verstärker und Auswertelektronik und können nicht die Richtung einer Bewegung erkennen. Die Personen, die z.B. die Fahrtreppe zugehen und diejenige, die die Fahrtreppe verlassen, werden gleich behandelt. Bei Parallelaufstellung von Fahrtreppen kommt es oft vor, dass abgehende Personen irrtümlicherweise die andere Fahrtreppe zum Losstarten veranlassen.The patent EP 0847956 shows in the field of handrail deflection arranged light sensors with transmitters and receivers, which the monitor entire entrance hall of the escalator. This device is inconspicuous, but still visible and therefore not perfect vandal-proof. In addition, these light sensors are from Weather influences are misdirected and e.g. at direct Sunlight radiation triggered. Such sensors also need big and expensive amplifier and evaluation electronics and can not the Recognize the direction of a movement. The persons, e.g. the escalator approach and those who leave the escalator will be the same treated. With parallel installation of escalators, it often happens that outgoing persons erroneously the other escalator to Initiate starting.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde eine Vorraumüberwachung für Fahrtreppen zur Steuerung des Antriebes der eingangs genannten Art vorzuschlagen, welche die vorgenannten Nachteile nicht aufweist und auf einfache Art und Weise ein frühzeitiges Erkennen von Fahrgästen ermöglicht, welche nicht von Witterungseinflüssen fehlgeleitet wird, welche vollkommen unsichtbar, billiger und kompakter ist und welche die Richtung einer Bewegung erkennt.The invention is based on the object an anteroom monitoring for Escalators for controlling the drive of the type mentioned to propose, which does not have the aforementioned disadvantages and on simple way of early detection of passengers allows which is not misguided by weather influences, which completely invisible, cheaper and more compact and which the direction recognizes a movement.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch die im Patentanspruch 1 gekennzeichnete Erfindung gelöst.This object is characterized by that in claim 1 Invention solved.

Im Bereich der Handlaufumlenkung werden Sensoren angeordnet, welche den Eingangsbereich der Fahrtreppe überwachen und welche für elektromagnetische Wellen mit Wellenlänge länger als 100 µm empfindlich sind. Dieser Wellenlängebereich liegt ausserhalb des Licht- und Infrarot-Bereiches des elektromagnetischen Spektrums.In the area of the handrail deflection sensors are arranged, which monitor the entrance area of the escalator and which for electromagnetic waves with wavelength longer than 100 microns sensitive are. This wavelength range is outside the light and Infrared region of the electromagnetic spectrum.

Die durch die Erfindung erreichten Vorteile sind darum im wesentlichen darin zu sehen, dass die Sensoren nicht durch Witterungseinflüsse fehlgeleitet werden können, wie z.B. Sonnenlicht, Nebel, künstliche Beleuchtung, Wärmestrahlung.The advantages achieved by the invention are therefore essentially to see that the sensors are not affected by the weather can be misdirected, e.g. Sunlight, fog, artificial Lighting, heat radiation.

Weitere durch die Erfindung erreichte Vorteile sind, dass die Sensoren für den Benutzer vollkommen unsichtbar verdeckt bzw. dissimuliert angeordnet werden können, da sie z.B. durch eine Kunststoffkappe bedeckt werden können. Eine solche Kappe kann die optischen elektromagnetischen Wellen anhalten, aber nicht die elektromagnetischen Wellen mit Wellenlänge länger als 100 µm. Dadurch wird die ganze Fahrtreppe viel vandalensicherer.Further advantages achieved by the invention are that the sensors for the user completely invisibly hidden or dissimulated may be because they are e.g. be covered by a plastic cap can. Such a cap can be the optical electromagnetic Waves stop, but not with the electromagnetic waves Wavelength longer than 100 μm. This will make the whole escalator a lot vandal-proof.

Des weiteren kann der Fahrtreppensteuerungsprint kleiner werden, und dadurch billiger, da keine Auswertelektronik und keine Verstärker für die neue Überwachungseinrichtung bei diesem Wellenlängebereich benötigt wird.Furthermore, the escalator control print can become smaller, and cheaper because no electronic evaluation and no amplifier for the new monitoring device needed in this wavelength range becomes.

Eine Richtungserkennung wird bei der erfindungsgemässen Überwachungseinrichtung durch das Prinzip der Auswertung des Dopplereffekts ermöglicht. Sie bietet den Vorteil, dass nur Personen erkannt werden, die auf die Fahrtreppe zugehen und nicht solche die die Fahrtreppe verlassen, oder nur den Wellenkegel streifen bzw. durchschreiten. Das ist ein grosser Vorteil bei Parallelaufstellung von Fahrtreppen. Dort kommt es oft vor, dass abgehende Personen irrtümlicherweise die andere Fahrtreppe zum Losstarten veranlassen.A direction detection is in the inventive Monitoring device by the principle of evaluation of the Doppler effect possible. It offers the advantage that only persons be recognized, which go to the escalator and not such as the Leave the escalator, or just brush the shaft cone or pass through. This is a big advantage in parallel installation of Escalators. There it often happens that outgoing persons erroneously cause the other escalator to start.

Vorteilweise werden Sensoren auf beiden Seiten der Fahrtreppe angebracht, damit der Wellenkegel symmetrisch gegenüber der Fahrtreppe ist und die Erkennung von Personen präziser und genauer ausgeführt wird.Advantageously, sensors on both sides of the escalator attached so that the shaft cone is symmetrical with respect to the escalator and the recognition of people is performed more precisely and accurately.

Vorteilweise werden die Sensoren als Hochfrequenzsensoren ausgebildet, d.h. empfindlich für elektromagnetische Wellenlängen kürzer als 1 m. In diesem Wellenlängebereich wird die Genauigkeit der Personenerkennung maximiert.Advantageously, the sensors are designed as high-frequency sensors, i.e. sensitive to electromagnetic wavelengths shorter than 1 m. In In this wavelength range, the accuracy of the person recognition maximized.

Durch die in den Unteransprüchen aufgeführten Massnahmen sind vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen und Verbesserungen der im Anspruch 1 angegebenen Vorraumüberwachung für Fahrtreppen möglich. Durch die unauffällige Anordnung der Sensoren werden Beschädigungen durch Vandalismus oder auch unbeabsichtigt, weitgehendst vermieden. Der optische Eindruck der Fahrtreppe bleibt unverändert. Zudem sind keine zusätzlichen Bauelemente an der Balustrade oder im Vorraum mehr notwendig.By the measures listed in the dependent claims are advantageous developments and improvements of claim 1 specified anteroom monitoring for escalators possible. By the inconspicuous arrangement of the sensors will be damaged by Vandalism or unintentional, largely avoided. Of the visual impression of the escalator remains unchanged. In addition, there are none additional components on the balustrade or in the vestibule more necessary.

In der Zeichnung sind zwei Ausführungsbeispiele der Erfindung dargestellt und im folgenden näher erläutert. Es zeigen:In the drawing, two embodiments of the invention are shown and explained in more detail below. Show it:

Fig.1 eine schematische Darstellung einer Fahrtreppe mit Ausschnittsvergrösserung,A schematic representation of an escalator with Enlarged detail,

Fig.2 einen Ausschnitt des Grundrisses einer Fahrtreppe im Bereich der Antrittsplatte,2 shows a detail of the outline of an escalator in the area of Entrance plate,

Fig.4 eine detaillierte Ansicht eines zweiten Ausführungsbeispiels.4 shows a detailed view of a second embodiment.

Fig.1 zeigt eine schematische Darstellung einer Fahrtreppe 1. Die Fahrtreppe 1 weist eine Anzahl Stufen 2 auf, welche als endlos umlaufendes Stufenband zwischen zwei Balustradensockeln 3 eingebettet sind. Auf jedem Balustradensockel 3 ist eine Balustrade 4 aufgebaut, auf der ein endloser Handlauf 5 synchron mit dem Stufenband läuft. Im unteren Teil einer Handlaufumlenkung 10 wird der Handlauf 5 jeweils in den Balustradensockel 3 geführt. In diesem Bereich ist der Balustradensockel 3 mit Handlaufeinlaufkappen 11 versehen. An diesen Handlaufeinlaufkappen 11 sind Sensoren 12 angeordnet. Diese Sensoren 12 überwachen den Zugang zur Fahrtreppe 1 in einem bestimmten Bereich 13 vor dem Eingang zur Fahrtreppe 1, beispielsweise den Bereich einer Antrittsplatte 14. Die Sensoren sind empfindlich für elektromagnetische Wellen mit einer Wellenlänge grösser als 100 pm, d.h. ausserhalb des optischen oder Infrarot- Bereiches.1 shows a schematic representation of an escalator 1. The Escalator 1 has a number of stages 2, which are endless encircling step band between two Balustradensockeln 3 embedded are. On each balustrade base 3, a balustrade 4 is constructed, on an endless handrail 5 runs synchronously with the step band. At the bottom Part of a handrail deflection 10, the handrail 5 is in each case in the Balustrade base 3 led. In this area is the balustrade base 3 provided with handrail inlet caps 11. At these handrail caps 11 sensors 12 are arranged. These sensors 12 monitor the Access to the escalator 1 in a certain area 13 in front of the entrance to the escalator 1, for example, the area of a starting plate 14. Die Sensors are sensitive to electromagnetic waves with a Wavelength greater than 100 pm, i. outside the optical or Infrared range.

Die besten Resultate wurden mit einer Wellenlänge von 12,5 mm erreicht, die einer Frequenz von 24 GHz entspricht. Der ganze Wellenlängebereich zwischen 1 mm und 100 mm ist aber sehr geeignet für diese Anwendung. In dem Ausschnitt ist ein Teil der seitlichen Sockelverkleidung weggebrochen. Der von aussen nicht sichtbare innerhalb des Sockels angebrachte Sensor 12 ist oberhalb der Bruchlinie sichtbar.The best results were achieved with a wavelength of 12.5 mm, which corresponds to a frequency of 24 GHz. The whole wavelength range between 1 mm and 100 mm is very suitable for this application. In the cutout is part of the side skirting broken away. The not visible from the outside inside the base attached sensor 12 is visible above the break line.

Fig.2 zeigt einen Ausschnitt des Grundrisses der Fahrtreppe 1 im Bereich der Antrittsplatte 14. Die Sensoren 12 sind in die Handlaufeinlaufkappen 11 unsichtbar integriert und bestehen jeweils aus einem Sender 15 und einem Empfänger 16, vorzugsweise einer Planar-Antenne. Sender 15 und Empfänger 16 arbeiten beispielsweise auf Hochfrequenzbasis, d.h. bei kürzeren Wellenlängen als 1 m, und sprechen auf Reflexionen bzw. Zurückwerfen von Hochfrequenzwellen von Personen und Gegenständen an. Die Sensoren können Radarsensoren sein. Beim Betreten des Überwachungsbereiches 13 eines Sensors 12 werden die vom Sender 15 ausgesendeten Wellen bzw. Hochfrequenzsignale durch die Person oder den Gegenstand reflektiert bzw. zurückgeworfen und vom zugehörigen Empfänger 16 aufgenommen. Dieses Ansprechen des Sensors 12 löst ein Signal aus, das in einem hier nicht weiter beschriebenen Elektronikteil verarbeitet wird und zum Starten des Antriebes der Fahrtreppe 1 führt. Sollten die Sensoren 12 ausfallen, so verbleibt die Fahrtreppe 1 im Dauerbetrieb.2 shows a section of the floor plan of the escalator 1 in the area the starting plate 14. The sensors 12 are in the handrail inlet caps 11th Invisible integrated and each consist of a transmitter 15 and a Receiver 16, preferably a planar antenna. Transmitter 15 and For example, receivers 16 operate on a high frequency basis, i. at shorter wavelengths than 1 m, and respond to reflections or Rejecting high frequency waves from people and objects at. The sensors can be radar sensors. Upon entering the Monitoring range 13 of a sensor 12 are the transmitter 15 emitted waves or high frequency signals by the person or the object reflected or reflected and the associated Receiver 16 recorded. This response of the sensor 12 triggers Signal from, in an electronic part not further described here is processed and leads to start the drive of the escalator 1. If the sensors 12 fail, the escalator 1 remains in the Continuous operation.

Als weitere Ausführungsvariante kann der Sensor 12 nur auf einer Seite in einer Handlaufeinlaufkappe 11 angebracht werden. Sender 15 und Empfänger 16 müssen in diesem Fall so ausgerichtet und dimensioniert werden, dass der Überwachungsbereich 13 wie im oben beschriebenen Beispiel gewährleistet bleibt.As a further embodiment, the sensor 12 only on one side in a handrail cap 11 are attached. Transmitter 15 and Receiver 16 must be aligned and dimensioned in this case be that the monitoring area 13 as in the above Example is ensured.

Fig.3 zeigt eine detaillierte Ansicht einer abgeschrägten Handlaufeinlaufkappe 11 mit einem eingebauten Sensor 12. Die als Anschluss des Sockels dienende Handlaufeinlaufkappe 11 ist sowohl zum Sockelende hin als auch zum Stufenband hin geneigt. Damit ergibt sich eine dem Benutzer der Fahrtreppe zugewandte Fläche 11'. Der Sensor 12 ist innerhalb der Handlaufeinlaufkappe 11 montiert. Sender 15 und Empfänger 16 werden so in die Handlaufeinlaufkappe 11 integriert, dass sie dem Benutzer vollständig verborgen und unsichtbar bleiben. Dies hat den Vorteil, dass Beschädigungen am Sensor 12 durch Vandalismus oder aus Absicht, praktisch ausgeschlossen werden kann. Ausserdem wird durch die Montage des Sensors 12 auf die Rückseite der Handlaufeinlaufkappe 11 die Fertigung vereinfacht. Ein Einpassen in Montageöffnungen des Sockels ist nicht erforderlich. Desweitern können in der robusten Handlaufeinlaufkappe 11 weitere Bedienungselemente, wie beispielsweise ein Nothaltschalter 20, angeordnet werden. Ebenso wird durch diese Anordnung der Sensoren 12 der Installations- und Materialaufwand sehr gering gehalten, da bei der Montage keine zusätzlichen, von der eigentlichen Fahrtreppe 1 oder vom Balustradensockel 3 wegführenden Leitungen verlegt oder verdrahtet werden müssen.3 shows a detailed view of a bevelled Handrail inlet cap 11 with a built-in sensor 12. The as Connection of the base serving handrail inlet cap 11 is both to Base towards and inclined to the step band. This results a the user of the escalator facing surface 11 '. The sensor 12 is mounted inside the handrail cap 11. Transmitter 15 and Receiver 16 are integrated into the handrail inlet cap 11 so that they completely hide the user and remain invisible. this has the advantage that damage to the sensor 12 by vandalism or by design, can be virtually ruled out. In addition, will by mounting the sensor 12 on the back of the Handrail inlet cap 11 simplifies manufacturing. A fitting in Mounting holes of the base is not required. You can also work in the robust handrail inlet cap 11 more controls, such as For example, an emergency stop switch 20 can be arranged. Likewise will by this arrangement of the sensors 12 of the installation and Cost of materials kept very low, as in the assembly no additional, from the actual escalator 1 or from Balustrade base 3 leads laid or wired Need to become.

Fig.4 zeigt ein zweites Ausführungsbeispiel einer erfindungsgemässen Vorraumüberwachung für eine Fahrtreppe 1 oder eines Fahrsteiges. Dabei werden die Sensoren 12 mit Sender 15 und Empfänger 16, rechts oder links des Handlaufs 5 im Bereich der Handlaufumlenkung 10 vorzugsweise verdeckt in der Balustrade 4 angeordnet. Die Funktionsweise ist dieselbe wie beim oben beschriebenen Ausführungsbeispiel.4 shows a second embodiment of an inventive Anteroom monitoring for an escalator 1 or a moving walkway. there the sensors 12 with transmitter 15 and receiver 16, right or to the left of the handrail 5 in the region of the handrail deflection 10 preferably hidden in the balustrade 4 arranged. The functionality is the same as in the embodiment described above.

Die Überwachungseinrichtung ist für den Benutzer nicht sichtbar, da keine Löcher in der Kunststoffkappe sichtbar sind. Dadurch wird die ganze Fahrtreppe viel vandalensicherer, weil keine Ausnehmungen mit Kaugummi zugeklebt werden können. Das neue Einbauteil der Überwachungseinrichtung ist nur bei Kunststoffkappen verwendbar, wobei die Durchlässigkeit für die elektromagnetischen Wellen in dem oben angegebenen Wellenlängebereich gegeben ist. Von Metallteilen würden die elektromagnetischen Wellen gestört bzw. abgelenkt bzw. aufgehalten werden. Also bei Stahlblech- oder Nirosta - Stirn(front)platten funktioniert diese Überwachungseinrichtung nicht, da die elektromagnetischen Wellen das Metall nicht durchdringen.The monitoring device is not visible to the user, as no Holes in the plastic cap are visible. This will do the whole thing Escalator much vandal-proof, because no recesses with chewing gum can be sealed. The new fitting of the Monitoring device can only be used with plastic caps, wherein the permeability to the electromagnetic waves in the above specified wavelength range is given. Of metal parts would the Electromagnetic waves disturbed or distracted or stopped become. So on sheet steel or Nirosta - forehead (front) plates works this monitoring device does not, because the electromagnetic waves do not penetrate the metal.

Weiters kann die Überwachungseinrichtung von keinen Witterungseinflüssen fehlgeleitet werden, da sie hinter der schützenden Kunststoffkappe verschwindet. Die herkömmliche Vorraumüberwachung wird hingegen bei direkter Sonnenlichteinstrahlung ausgelöst und daraufhin die Fahrtreppe gestartet.Furthermore, the monitoring device of no Weather influences are misguided, as they are behind the protective Plastic cap disappears. The conventional vestibule monitoring however, is triggered by direct sunlight and then the escalator started.

Des weiteren wird der Fahrtreppensteuerungsprint kleiner, und dadurch billiger, da keine Auswertelektronik und keine Verstärker für die neue Überwachungseinrichtung benötigt werden.Furthermore, the escalator control print becomes smaller, and thereby cheaper, because no electronic evaluation and no amplifier for the new Monitoring device needed.

Eine Auswerteelektronik wird aber vorteilhafterweise vorgesehen, welche im kleinen Überwachungsgerät integriert (3poliges Kabel) wird und welche die Richtungserkennung der Bewegung eines Objektes durch das Prinzip des Dopplereffektes ermöglicht.An evaluation is but advantageously provided, which in small monitor is integrated (3-pin cable) and which the Directional detection of the movement of an object by the principle of Doppler effect allows.

Sie bietet den Vorteil, dass nur Personen erkannt werden, die auf die Fahrtreppe zugehen und nicht solche die die Fahrtreppe verlassen, oder nur den Radarwellenkegel streifen bzw. durchschreiten. Das ist ein grosser Vorteil vor allem bei Parallelaufstellung von Fahrtreppen. Dort kommt es oft vor, dass abgehende Personen irrtümlicherweise die andere Fahrtreppe zum Losstarten veranlassen.It has the advantage that only people who are on the Escalator and not those who leave the escalator, or only strip or pass through the radar cone. This is a big one Advantage especially for parallel installation of escalators. It happens often Before that, outgoing people erroneously the other escalator to start to start.
