Description

Handlauf für Fahrsteiq  Handrail for Fahrsteiq
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Balustrade für einen Fahrsteig oder eine Fahrtreppe mit einem Handlauf und einer Führung für den Handlauf, an welcher der Handlauf entlang seiner Längsachse motorisch angetrieben bewegt wird. The invention relates to a balustrade for a moving walk or an escalator with a handrail and a guide for the handrail, on which the handrail is moved by a motor driven along its longitudinal axis.
Es sind Fahrsteige und Fahrtreppen bekannt, welche nicht nur über gerade Strecken verlaufen sondern auch solche, welche in einer horizontalen Ebene um Kurven fahren können. Es ist auch möglich, dass Fahrsteige nicht nur in horizontalen Ebenen sondern auch in steigenden oder fallenden Ebenen, eventuell auch mit gekrümmten Übergängen zwischen steigenden oder fallenden Ebenen und horizontalen Ebenen, angeordnet sind. Auch bei Fahrtreppen erfolgt ein Übergang zwischen einer steigenden oder fallenden Transportebene in eine horizontale Transportebene. Wenn in der Folge von einer Transportebene gesprochen wird, werden sowohl horizontale Ebenen als auch steigende oder fallende Ebenen sowie deren Übergänge zu horizontalen Ebenen verstanden. Wenn in der Folge des weiteren von einem Fahrsteig gesprochen wird, so gilt dies gleichermaßen für Fahrtreppen, soweit diese in irgend einem Abschnitt ihres Transportwegs eine Biegung oder Krümmung aufweisen, welche auch eine horizontale Komponente einschließt. There are known moving walks and escalators, which not only run on straight lines but also those that can drive around a curve in a horizontal plane. It is also possible that moving walks are arranged not only in horizontal planes but also in rising or falling planes, possibly also with curved transitions between rising or falling planes and horizontal planes. Even with escalators, there is a transition between a rising or falling transport level in a horizontal transport level. When subsequently talking about a transport plane, both horizontal planes and rising or falling planes and their transitions to horizontal planes are understood. Further, when referring to a moving walkway, this equally applies to escalators insofar as they have a bend or bend in any part of their transport path which also includes a horizontal component.
Problematisch ist bei Fahrsteigen, dass der Handlauf in der Regel in einer Ebene parallel zur Transportebene eine wesentlich höhere Steifigkeit als in der vertikalen Ebene aufweist, da Handläufe am Ende der Balustrade normalerweise bogenförmig nach unten umgelenkt werden und somit in diese Richtung bzw. in dieser Ebene leicht zu biegen sind, wogegen sie in einer Ebene parallel zur Transportebene aufgrund ihrer geometrischen Form und ihres Aufbaus nur schwer oder überhaupt nicht gebogen werden können. Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zu Grunde, eine Balustrade mit einem Handlauf für einen Fahrsteig zu schaffen, welche in einer Ebene parallel zur Transportebene dem Weg des Fahrsteigs oder der Fahrtreppe folgend um einen bogenförmigen Abschnitt geführt ist. In the case of moving walkways, it is problematic that the handrail generally has a substantially higher rigidity in a plane parallel to the transport plane than in the vertical plane, since handrails at the end of the balustrade are normally deflected downward in an arc shape and thus in this direction or in this plane Because of their geometric shape and structure, they are difficult or impossible to bend in a plane parallel to the transport plane. The invention is therefore based on the object to provide a balustrade with a handrail for a moving walk, which is guided in a plane parallel to the transport plane following the path of the moving walk or the escalator to an arcuate section.
Gelöst wird diese Aufgabe bei einer Balustrade der eingangs genannten Art dadurch, dass der Handlauf an der Führung um seine Längsachse verdreht entlang eines bogenförmigen Abschnitts der Führung geführt ist. This object is achieved in a balustrade of the type mentioned in that the handrail is guided on the guide about its longitudinal axis twisted along an arcuate portion of the guide.
Da der Handlauf um seine Längsachse verdreht wird, wenn die Balustrade dem Fahrsteig folgend in einer Ebene parallel zur Transportebene geführt ist, ist seine Steifigkeit in der Ebene parallel zur Transportebene geringer als wenn er nicht um seine Längsachse verdreht wäre, so dass der Handlauf dem bogenförmigen Abschnitt der Führung einfacher folgen kann bzw. keine aufwendigen Maßnahmen getroffen werden müssen, um die Steifigkeit des Handlaufs in der Ebene parallel zur Transportebene soweit zu verringern, dass er um den bogenförmigen Abschnitt der Führung geführt werden kann. Bevorzugt ist bei der Erfindung, wenn der Handlauf um einen Winkel von wenigstens 45°, vorzugsweise um einen Winkel von 75°, 80°, 85° oder insbesondere 90°, um seine Längsachse gedreht an der Führung geführt ist. Der Handlauf wird dadurch insbesondere bei einem Drehwinkel von 90° im bogenförmigen Abschnitt der Führung in der gleichen Ebene gebogen wie dies am Ende der Balustrade üblicherweise erfolgt, wenn ein Handlauf bogenförmig nach unten geführt wird, so dass ein üblicher Handlauf verwendet werden kann. Since the handrail is rotated about its longitudinal axis when the balustrade following the moving walk in a plane parallel to the transport plane, its rigidity in the plane parallel to the transport plane is less than if it were not rotated about its longitudinal axis, so that the handrail the arcuate Section of the guide can follow more easily or no costly measures must be taken to reduce the rigidity of the handrail in the plane parallel to the transport plane so far that it can be performed around the arcuate portion of the guide. Preferred in the invention, when the handrail is guided at an angle of at least 45 °, preferably at an angle of 75 °, 80 °, 85 ° or in particular 90 °, rotated about its longitudinal axis on the guide. The handrail is thereby bent in particular at a rotation angle of 90 ° in the arcuate portion of the guide in the same plane as is usually done at the end of the balustrade, when a handrail is guided arcuately down, so that a conventional handrail can be used.
Bevorzugt ist bei der Erfindung, wenn der Handlauf an einem geraden Abschnitt der Führung an der Oberseite der Balustrade und an einem bogenförmigen Abschnitt der Führung auf der Seite der Balustrade, welche jener Seite, auf weiche der bogenförmige Abschnitt der Führung gebogen ist, gegenüber liegt, an der Führung geführt ist. In diesem Fall ist der Handlauf in einer Kurve des Fahrsteigs auf der Außenseite, das heißt auf der vom Krümmungsmittelpunkt der Kurve abgewandten Seite, der Balustrade angeordnet. Preferably, in the invention, when the handrail is opposed to a straight portion of the guide at the top of the balustrade and to an arcuate portion of the guide on the side of the balustrade opposite that side to which the arcuate portion of the guide is bent, guided at the guide. In this case, the handrail is arranged in a curve of the moving walk on the outside, that is, on the side facing away from the center of curvature of the curve, the balustrade.
Alternativ ist bei der Erfindung auch möglich, dass der Handlauf an einem geraden Abschnitt der Führung an der Oberseite der Balustrade und an einem bogenförmigen Abschnitt der Führung auf der Seite der Balustrade, aufweiche der bogenförmige Abschnitt der Führung gebogen ist, an der Führung geführt ist. Der Handlauf ist somit in einer Kurve des Fahrsteigs auf der Innenseite, das heißt auf der dem Krümmungsmittelpunkt der Kurve zugewandten Seite, der Balustrade angeordnet. Alternatively, in the invention it is also possible that the handrail is guided on a straight portion of the guide at the top of the balustrade and on an arcuate portion of the guide on the side of the balustrade, on which the arcuate portion of the guide is bent, on the guide. The handrail is thus arranged in a curve of the moving walk on the inside, that is, on the side of the curvature of the curve facing side, the balustrade.
Bei der Erfindung ist es aber ebenso möglich, dass der Handlauf an einem geraden Abschnitt der Führung an der Oberseite der Balustrade und an bogenförmigen Abschnitten der Führung, welche auf gegenüber liegende Seiten gebogen sind, auf entsprechend gegenüberliegenden Seiten an der Führung geführt ist. Der Handlauf ist somit je nach Bedarf einmal an der Innenseite und einmal an der Außenseite bzw. der Oberseite der Balustrade angeordnet. But in the invention it is also possible that the handrail is guided on a straight portion of the guide at the top of the balustrade and at arcuate portions of the guide, which are bent on opposite sides, on corresponding opposite sides of the guide. The handrail is thus arranged once on the inside and once on the outside or the top of the balustrade as needed.
Der Handlauf kann bei der Erfindung, wie dies an sich aus dem Stand der Technik bekannt ist, am Ende einer Balustrade an der Oberseite der Balustrade liegend an der Führung kreisbogenförmig nach unten geführt sein. Er kann aber auch am Ende einer Balustrade wie vorstehend beschrieben in einer Ebene parallel zur Transportebene um 180° gebogen und beispielsweise zu einem in die Gegenrichtung laufende Fahrsteig geführt sein. The handrail can in the invention, as is known in the art, at the end of a balustrade at the top of the balustrade lying on the guide circular arc guided downwards. But it can also be bent at the end of a balustrade as described above in a plane parallel to the transport plane by 180 ° and be performed, for example, to a running in the opposite direction moving walk.
Weitere Merkmale und Vorteile der Erfindung ergeben sich aus der nachfolgenden Beschreibung bevorzugter Ausführungsbeispiele der Erfindung unter Bezugnahme auf die angeschlossenen Zeichnungen. Es zeigt: Further features and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the following description of preferred embodiments of the invention with reference to the accompanying drawings. It shows:
Fig. 1 einen Fahrsteig mit einer erfindungsgemäßen Balustrade in einer ersten Ausführungsform, Fig. 2 einen Fahrsteig mit einer erfindungsgemäßen Balustrade in einer zweiten Ausführungsform, Fig. 3 einen Handlauf in einer ersten Position, 1 a moving walk with a balustrade according to the invention in a first embodiment, FIG. 2 a moving walk with a balustrade according to the invention in a second embodiment, 3 a handrail in a first position,
Fig. 4 einen Handlauf einer zweiten Position und Fig. 4 is a handrail of a second position and
Fig. 5 einen Handlauf in der dritten Position. Fig. 5 is a handrail in the third position.
In Fig. 1 ist ein Fahrsteig 1 dargestellt, der in einer in der dargestellten Ausführungsform horizontalen Transportebene 2 um mehrere Kurven 3, 4, 5, 6 fährt, zwischen denen sich gerade Transportstrecken 7, 8, 9, 10 befinden. Der Fahrsteig 1 besteht wie an sich bekannt aus einer Vielzahl von etwa sichelförmigen Platten, welche so miteinander verbunden sind, dass sie sowohl um Kurven 3, 4, 5, 6 als auch entlang gerader Transportstrecken 7, 8, 9, 10 fahren können. In Fig. 1, a moving walk 1 is shown, which runs in a horizontal transport plane 2 in the illustrated embodiment by a plurality of curves 3, 4, 5, 6, between which straight transport sections 7, 8, 9, 10 are located. The moving walk 1 consists, as is known, of a multiplicity of approximately sickle-shaped plates which are connected to one another such that they can travel around curves 3, 4, 5, 6 as well as along straight transport paths 7, 8, 9, 10.
Entlang des Fahrsteigs 1 ist eine Balustrade mit einem Handlauf 2 angeordnet, welche der Bahn des Fahrsteigs 1 folgt, wobei sich Personen, während sie am Fahrsteig 1 transportiert werden, am Handlauf 12 festhalten können, der mit der gleichen Geschwindigkeit wie der Fahrsteig 1 bewegt wird. Along the moving walk 1, a balustrade with a handrail 2 is arranged, which follows the path of the moving walk 1, wherein persons, while being transported on the moving walk 1, can hold on the handrail 12, which is moved at the same speed as the moving walk 1 ,
Der Handlauf 12 weist, wie im Ausführungsbeispiel der Fig. 3 bis 5 zu sehen ist, einen im Wesentlichen C-förmigen Querschnitt mit einem flachen Mittelsteg 13 und zueinander gebogenen Schenkelenden 14 auf. Am Mittelsteg 13 ist eine in Längsrichtung des Handlaufs 12 verlaufende Rippe 15 angeordnet, welche zum Inneren des C-förmigen Querschnitts gerichtet ist. Geführt wird der Handlauf in diesem Ausführungsbeispiel an einer etwa Y-förmigen Führung 16 mit einer zwischen Schenkeln 17 angeordneten Nut 18, in welcher die Rippe 15 des Handlaufs 12 geführt ist. Die Schenkel 17 der Führung 16 werden von den umgebogenen Schenkelenden 14 des Handlaufs 12 umgriffen. The handrail 12 has, as can be seen in the embodiment of FIGS. 3 to 5, a substantially C-shaped cross section with a flat central web 13 and mutually bent leg ends 14. At the central web 13 a extending in the longitudinal direction of the handrail 12 rib 15 is arranged, which is directed to the interior of the C-shaped cross-section. The handrail is guided in this embodiment on an approximately Y-shaped guide 16 with a 17 arranged between legs groove 18 in which the rib 15 of the handrail 12 is guided. The legs 17 of the guide 16 are encompassed by the bent leg ends 14 of the handrail 12.
Wie Fig. 4 zeigt, kann die Führung 16 an der Oberseite der Balustrade 3 angeordnet nach oben weisen, wodurch der Handlauf 12 auf der Oberseite der Führung 16 und somit der Balustrade 3 angeordnet ist. Diese Stellung des Handlaufs 12 wird gemäß der Erfindung bevorzugt für geradlinige Transportstrecken, beispielsweise die Transportstrecken 7, 8, 9, 10 gemäß Fig. 1 und 2 verwendet. As shown in FIG. 4, the guide 16 can be arranged at the top of the balustrade 3 facing upward, whereby the handrail 12 is arranged on the upper side of the guide 16 and thus the balustrade 3. This position of the handrail 12 is preferably used according to the invention for straight-line transport routes, for example the transport routes 7, 8, 9, 10 according to FIGS. 1 and 2.
Da der Handlauf 12 in einer Ebene 19, welche parallel zur Transportebene 1 liegt, nur schwer oder gar nicht gebogen werden kann, wäre es schwierig, mit dem Handlauf 12 um Kurven 3, 4, 5, 6 zu fahren. Erfindungsgemäß wird der Handlauf 12 daher entlang seiner Längsachse verdreht, im Ausführungsbeispiel gemäß Fig. 3 um 90° nach links und im Ausführungsbeispiel gemäß Fig.Since the handrail 12 in a plane 19 which is parallel to the transport plane 1, difficult or impossible to bend, it would be difficult to go with the handrail 12 to curves 3, 4, 5, 6. According to the handrail 12 is therefore rotated along its longitudinal axis, in the embodiment of FIG. 3 by 90 ° to the left and in the embodiment of FIG.
5 um 90° nach rechts. In der Stellung gemäß Fig. 3 und 5 kann der Handlauf 12 in der Ebene 19 einfach gebogen werden, so dass es auch möglich ist, mit dem Handlauf 12 den Kurven 3, 4, 5,5 by 90 ° to the right. In the position shown in FIG. 3 and 5, the handrail 12 can be easily bent in the plane 19, so that it is also possible with the handrail 12 the curves 3, 4, 5,
6 zu folgen. Theoretisch wäre es, abhängig von der Form des Handlaufs 12, auch möglich, den Handlauf 12 nicht um 90° zu drehen sondern um einen Winkel kleiner 90°, beispielsweise nur 45°, 75°, 80° oder 85°, da die Steifigkeit des Handlaufs 12 in Richtung der Ebene 19 dann bereits geringer ist als in der Stellung gemäß Fig. 4. Bevorzugt ist bei der Erfindung allerdings ein Verdrehen des Handlaufs und 90°. 6 to follow. Theoretically, it would also be possible, depending on the shape of the handrail 12, not to rotate the handrail 12 by 90 ° but by an angle smaller than 90 °, for example only 45 °, 75 °, 80 ° or 85 °, since the rigidity of the Handrail 12 in the direction of the plane 19 is then already lower than in the position shown in FIG. 4. Preferred in the invention, however, a Turning the handrail and 90 °.
Die Stellung gemäß Fig. 3 könnte der Handlauf 12 beispielsweise im Bereich der Kurven 4 und 6 von Fig. 1 einnehmen, womit der Handlauf sozusagen an der Außenseite der Balustrade 11 , also der vom Krümmungsmittelpunkt der Kurve 4, 6 abgewandten Seite, angeordnet ist, und die Stellung gemäß Fig. 5 im Bereich der Kurven 3 und 5 von Fig. 1 , wobei der Handlauf in der Kurve 5 sozusagen an der Innenseite der Balustrade 11 , also der dem Krümmungsmittelpunkt der Kurve 5 zugewandten Seite, und in der Kurve 3 wieder an der Außenseite der Balustrade angeordnet ist. Der Handlauf 12 ist bevorzugt an wenigstens einer Kurve 3, 4, 5, 6 an einer Außenseite angeordnet, da er dann z.B. mittels eines Keilriemenrades sehr einfach motorisch angetrieben werden kann. The position according to FIG. 3 could assume the handrail 12, for example in the region of the curves 4 and 6 of FIG. 1, whereby the handrail is arranged, as it were, on the outside of the balustrade 11, that is to say the side remote from the center of curvature of the curve 4, 6, and the position according to FIG. 5 in the region of the curves 3 and 5 of FIG. 1, the handrail in the curve 5 so to speak on the inside of the balustrade 11, that is the side of the curvature of the curve 5, and in the curve 3 again is arranged on the outside of the balustrade. The handrail 12 is preferably arranged on at least one curve 3, 4, 5, 6 on an outer side, since it then is e.g. can be driven by a V-belt very easy motor.
In Fig. 2 wird der Handlauf 12 am Ende der Balustrade 11 (im Bereich der Kurven 4 und 6) wie an sich aus dem Stand der Technik bekannt an der Führung 16 bogenförmig nach unten geführt, so dass er an seiner Führung 16 seine Stellung an der Balustrade 11 im Wesentlichen so wie Fig. 4 dargestellt beibehält, wenn er von einer geraden Transportstrecke 7, 8, 9, 10, in welcher er wie vorstehend beschrieben bevorzugt ebenfalls die Fig. 4 dargestellte Position einnimmt, kommt bzw. in diese einläuft. Im Vergleich zur Ausführungsform gemäß Fig. 1 könnte der Handlauf 12 dann beispielsweise lediglich die Stellungen gemäß Fig. 4 und 5 nicht aber jene gemäß Fig. 3 einnehmen. In Fig. 2, the handrail 12 at the end of the balustrade 11 (in the region of the curves 4 and 6) as known per se from the prior art on the guide 16 arcuately guided downward, so that it is on its guide 16 to its position the balustrade 11 essentially remains as shown in FIG. 4 when it comes in or enters from a straight conveying path 7, 8, 9, 10 in which it preferably also assumes the position shown in FIG. 4 as described above. Compared to the embodiment according to FIG. 1, the handrail 12 could then assume, for example, only the positions according to FIGS. 4 and 5 but not those according to FIG. 3.
Wenn der Fahrsteig 1 nicht nur wie in den in Fig. 1 und 2 dargestellten Ausführungsbeispielen in einer horizontalen Ebene 2 verläuft sondern aus einer horizontalen Ebene in eine geneigte Ebene übergeht und in diesem Übergangsbereich allenfalls eine Kurve vorhanden ist, dann ist es in diesem Übergangs- oder Kurvenbereich vorteilhaft, wenn der Handlauf 12 nicht um 90° sondern um einen Winkel kleiner 90° um seine Längsachse gedreht wird, der Mittelbereich 13 des Handlaufs 12 somit um einen Winkel zwischen 0° und 90° gedreht ist, da die optimale Biegeebene des Handlaufs 12 dann an den Krümmungsverlauf des Förderwegs und somit der Führung 16 ange- passt werden kann. If the moving walk 1 not only runs in a horizontal plane 2, as in the exemplary embodiments illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2, but changes from a horizontal plane into an inclined plane and if at most a curve is present in this transitional area, then it is in this transitional zone. or curve area advantageous when the handrail 12 is rotated not by 90 ° but by an angle less than 90 ° about its longitudinal axis, the central region 13 of the handrail 12 is thus rotated by an angle between 0 ° and 90 °, since the optimum bending plane of the handrail 12 can then be adapted to the curvature of the conveying path and thus the guide 16.
