Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a conveyor device for conveying people according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Conveyor devices for conveying people for example escalators, conveyor belts and elevator systems, in various designs are known from the prior art.
  • the known conveying devices have the disadvantage that the provision of information is expensive for a conveyed person, and the time that the person spends in or on a conveying means can often no longer be used by the latter.
  • JP2008-265993A discloses a conveyor according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the present invention proposes a conveying device with the features of claim 1.
  • this can also represent an incentive to use a conveyor device according to the invention.
  • a conveying device is understood to mean a means of transport for people, in particular for short distances of up to approximately 1000 m.
  • a conveyor device can be designed as an escalator, conveyor belt or elevator system.
  • passenger boarding bridges for example passenger boarding bridges, that is to say connecting devices between a terminal building of an airport and at least one cabin door of a parked commercial aircraft.
  • passenger boarding bridges can in particular also be designed with an escalator or a conveyor belt.
  • passenger bridges is also intended to include, for example, bridges for access to ships, such as cruise ships. Not under the term conveyor falling, means of transport for longer distances, such as cars or trains, are explicitly considered.
  • the conveying device has structure-borne sound transmission areas which are suitable for providing vibrations which can be perceived as sound when the device is touched by a conveyed person. So-called structure-borne sound converters are used to generate the vibrations.
  • the structure-borne sound transmission areas can be designed to be stationary or, for example, movable with a hand treadmill.
  • the structure-borne sound transmission areas can be designed to be stationary or, for example, to be movable with a hand treadmill.
  • vibrations are transmitted, for example, from the user's hand, which rests on the structure-borne sound transmission area, via his skeleton to his inner ear.
  • a sound transmission is also referred to as structure-borne sound transmission.
  • the vibrations of the ossicles are processed in the inner ear and passed on as electrical signals to the auditory centers of the brain, where they are perceived as sound or tone. This sound is imperceptible to other passengers.
  • the embodiment of the invention in the form of an escalator or a passenger conveyor belt is particularly advantageous since the means for information transmission, namely structure-borne sound transducers or structure-borne sound transmission areas, can be moved along with a conveyed person without any problems.
  • the at least one structure-borne sound transmission area is formed in or on a holding device of the conveying device.
  • a holding device can be, for example, a handrail belt in the case of an escalator or a passenger conveyor belt, or a holding rod in the case of an elevator system.
  • certain areas of the holding device are designed as structure-borne sound transmission areas and other areas of the holding device are not designed as structure-borne sound transmission areas.
  • it is advisable to mark the structure-borne sound transmission areas for example by means of color or haptic highlighting. With such a marking, a sponsored person is able to decide for himself whether he would like to touch a structure-borne sound transmission area or not.
  • structure-borne sound transmission areas in or on a hand treadmill of an escalator or a passenger conveyor belt.
  • structure-borne sound transducers can be attached to the handrail belt in or below it so that they can move with it.
  • an intermediate piece between the structure-borne sound transducer and the hand treadmill via which the structure-borne sound transducer transmits vibrations to the hand treadmill.
  • Such intermediate pieces which can be made, for example, on appropriately shaped metal sheets, can be attached to a handrail belt in a particularly simple manner. The attachment of structure-borne sound transducers to intermediate pieces of this type is also easy to accomplish.
  • Another embodiment is the suggestion of a handrail guide rail on which the handrail or the handrail belt slides.
  • a structure-borne sound transducer can be attached to the handrail guide rail in a stationary manner.
  • the advantage of this embodiment is that the structure-borne sound transducer does not have to be transported. The transmission of the vibration to the top of the handrail can take place again with the above-mentioned intermediate pieces that are introduced into the handrail.
  • the at least one structure-borne sound transmission area in a wall of the elevator car.
  • a wall of the elevator car For example, it is conceivable to design one or more walls of an elevator car with tiles, behind each of which structure-borne sound transducers are formed. In such a configuration, these tiles thus represent structure-borne sound transmission areas. With this configuration, it is possible to attach the tiles at head level, so that the vibrations are transmitted directly to the auditory ossicles via the cranial bones.
  • FIG. 1 a particularly preferred embodiment of a conveyor according to the invention is shown schematically.
  • the conveying device is designed here as a passenger conveyor belt and is designated as a whole by 100.
  • the passenger conveyor belt has a treadmill 110, on which conveyed persons 108 stand, and two side walls or balustrades 101, 101 ', on each of which a handrail belt 102, 102' is formed.
  • the speed of the hand treadmills 102, 102 ′ is matched to the speed of the treadmill 110 in normal operation, that is to say when conveying people.
  • Structure-borne sound transducers 106 which move with the handrail belts 102, 102 ', are formed at regular intervals on the underside of the respective handrail belts 102, 102'. In the perspective of the Figure 1 only one structure-borne sound transducer can be displayed for each handrail belt. It is possible, for example, to provide the respective structure-borne sound transducers at distances of 50 cm or 100 cm or 200 cm from one another in or on the handrail belts 102, 102 '.
  • the structure-borne sound transducers 106 generate vibrations at frequencies that can be transmitted as structure-borne sound through the respective handrail belt 102, 102 'to a user 108 of the conveyor who touches the handrail belt 102, 102' with a hand or another suitable area of the body.
  • the areas of the handrail belts 102, 102 'in which structure-borne sound transducers are formed thus represent structure-borne sound transmission areas 104.
  • These vibrations are shown in FIG Figure 1 symbolically drawn as arches between the structure-borne sound transducers 106 and the handrail bands 102, 102 '.
  • a conveyed person 108 touches a structure-borne sound transmission area 104 of the handrail belt 102 with his hand or elbow, for example. Through this contact, vibrations generated by a structure-borne sound transducer 106 can be transmitted as structure-borne sound via the person's body, in particular via his bones or skeleton, to the ear (inner ear). where the structure-borne noise is perceived as sound or tone.
  • the respective structure-borne sound transmission areas of a handrail belt 102, 102 ' are expediently marked as such and thus recognizable for a person using the conveyor device. It is possible, for example, to identify the structure-borne sound transmission areas in color or haptically, for example with a corrugation of the handrail belt. Areas to which no structure-borne sound transducer is assigned and in which no structure-borne sound transmission can take place can thus also be provided between the respective structure-borne sound transmission areas. A person who uses the conveyor can thus choose whether or not to use a structure-borne sound transmission function.
  • Figure 2 shows a detailed sectional view of a section of a passenger conveyor belt according to a second embodiment.
  • the handrail belt 102 and the side wall 101 can be seen.
  • the structure-borne noise transducer 106 is not connected to the handrail belt 102 directly, but with the interposition of a handrail guide rail 202 and an intermediate piece 204.
  • the structure-borne sound transducer (s) and the handrail guide rail 202 are designed statically here, so they do not move with the handrail belt 102.
  • the handrail guide rail 202 is designed with a W-shaped profile over which the intermediate piece 204 slides.
  • the intermediate piece 204 moves with the handrail belt 102.
  • the vibrations of the stationary structure-borne sound transducer 106 are transmitted from the handrail guide rail 202 and the intermediate piece 204 to the top of the handrail belt 102.
  • the structure-borne sound transducer 106 can be attached directly to the handrail guide rail 202 be attached, for example at a suitable point of the W-shaped profile, and stimulate it to vibrate.
  • the connection 107 as shown in Figure 2 is included, is only used to better represent the structure-borne sound transducer 106.
  • Handrail guide rail and intermediate piece are preferably made of a material that conducts structure-borne sound, for example a suitable metallic material.
  • an intermediate piece By means of such an intermediate piece, it is also possible in a further embodiment to transmit vibrations of a structure-borne sound transducer 106 to a larger area of the handrail belt 102 than would be possible with a direct attachment of the structure-borne sound transducer 106 to the handrail belt 102. It is possible by means of the intermediate pieces 202 to shape or dimension the structure-borne sound transmission areas in a desired manner.
  • the intermediate piece is flexible enough that it can be adapted to the curvature of the handrail belt at the heads or bypass arcs of the passenger conveyor belt. This can be ensured, for example, by making the metallic material used (e.g. sheet metal) from which the intermediate piece is made correspondingly thin and / or narrow.
  • the metallic material used e.g. sheet metal
  • This preferred embodiment enables structure-borne sound transducers to be easily retrofitted in existing conveyor systems as well as an inexpensive and flexible integration option, since, for example, structure-borne sound transducer 106 does not have to be matched to the dimensions of the handrail belt 102.
  • the structure-borne sound transmission areas with micro- or nano-structured surfaces, whereby self-cleaning effects can be provided. With this measure it can be ensured that the structure-borne sound transmission areas can always be kept clean, so that a person who uses the conveying device is motivated to touch the structure-borne sound transmission areas.
