units 100 constitutes a main body in a vertical direction and includesrotating bodies connector 133 connecting therotating bodies body 120, and amotor 130 rotating therotating bodies body 120 upward and downward. - The lifting/lowering
unit 100 includes an infrared ray sensor or a laser sensor provided on an inner side or an outer side thereof so as to detect passenger trespass such that accidents are prevented. - However, according to the conventional detection device, when foreign materials settle on the sensor or a passenger pushes or pulls the

units 100 provided on selected portions of an entrance and an exit of a platform at which a train stops; at least two movingbodies 120 provided in the lifting/loweringunits 100 so as to move upward and downward;ropes 200 provided horizontally so as to connect each of themoving bodies 120 to each other; amotor 130 moving the movingbody 120 upward and downward; and a detection means controlling the upward and downward movements of the movingbody 120 when theropes 200 hit a passenger or an obstacle while moving. The movingbody 120 may be configured to move upward and downward along asupport 110 acting as a guide. - Each of the lifting/lowering
units 100 is a means guiding efficient movements of the movingbody 120 and theropes 200 upward and downward, and theropes 200 are a means used to control passenger access. This is a commonly-used technology in the related art and a detailed description concerning an operation principle and a detailed structure will be omitted. - Each of the multiple moving
bodies 120 is connected to each of multiplerotating bodies 131 having different diameters provided on an upper part and a lower part of the lifting/loweringunit 100 and moves upward such that theropes 200 are folded when therotating bodies 131 are rotated clockwise by an operation of themotor 130, and moves downward such that theropes 200 are unfolded to each other when the rotating bodies are rotated counterclockwise by an operation of themotor 130. - Accordingly, according to the present invention, while the moving

ropes 200 hit an obstacle while moving downward, themoving body 120 reverses the moving direction thereof and moves upward along theguide shaft 310, and simultaneously, a torque change value is produced such that themotor 130 moves themoving body 120 downward. Accordingly, thecontroller 400 stops or rotates themotor 130 clockwise or counterclockwise so as to move theropes 200 upward and downward. - The moving
body 120 may include throughholes 120a having a bearing provided on one side thereof such that theguide shaft 310 is inserted into the moving body in a vertical direction so as to move efficiently. - As shown in
FIG. 5 , theguide shaft 310 may include anassistant support part 312 provided on an upper part thereof such that the assistant support part forcibly moves the movingbody 120 downward by being in contact with an upper surface of the movingbody 120 when themoving body 120 is not moved downward by a weight thereof. - Each of
elastic bodies 313 is provided between thesupport part 311 and the movingbody 120 and between theassistant support part 312 and the movingbody 120, and assists impact absorptions of theropes 200 and the movingbody 120 upward and downward when theropes 200 hit an obstacle. Compressed springs having various sizes and elastic forces may be used as theelastic bodies 313. - The
controller 400 performs a function stopping or controlling themotor 130 according to the torque change value of themotor 130 occurring while the movingbody 120 moves upward and downward. - The
controller 400 stores as a reference value a torque occurring while themotor 130 moves the movingbody 120 and theropes 200 upward and downward when theropes 200 normally do not hit a passenger or an obstacle, and compares the torque of the reference value with a torque of themotor 130 occurring when theropes 200 hit a passenger or an obstacle while moving upward and downward, and when difference between the compared torques goes beyond allowable error range, thecontroller 400 determines that theropes 200 hit the passenger or the obstacle and controls themotor 130 so as to move the movingbody 120 and theropes 200 upward or downward. - That is, the
controller 400 stores as a reference value a torque occurring while themotor 130 moves the movingbody 120 and theropes 200 upward and downward when the ropes normally do not hit a passenger or an obstacle, and when theropes 200 hit a passenger or an obstacle while moving upward and downward, theropes 200 and the movingbody 120 move upward and downward along theguide shaft 310 and a torque of themotor 130 is abruptly changed, so that the controller can determine that the ropes hit the passenger or the obstacle since the torque change value goes beyond allowable error range. - The
controller 400 may include a central processing unit module storing a torque reference value and comparing the reference value with a torque change value so as to determine an error range. - The
controller 400 ignores a torque change value of themotor 130 caused by an external impact or a vibration, and compares the torque reference value with the torque change value of themotor 130 caused by the upward and downward movements of the ropes when theropes 200 hit a passenger or an obstacle so as to set an error range. - The
controller 400 may include Flash Memory or EPROM so as to set and store the torque reference value. - Furthermore, according to another embodiment of the present invention, the detection means may include an overload detection sensor connected to the
motor 130 so as to detect an overload of themotor 130 occurring when theropes 200 hit a passenger or an obstacle. - In addition, according to still another embodiment of the present invention, as shown in
FIG. 4 , the detection means includes a tensileforce detection sensor 410 provided on a middle part or one end of each of theropes 200 so as to detect a tensile force change occurring when theropes 200 hit a passenger or an obstacle. - Accordingly, as shown in
FIG. 6 , when theropes 200 hit a passenger or an obstacle while moving upward and downward, the platform safety device of the present invention stops or moves theropes 200 upward or downward according to the torque change value of themotor 130 occurring while theropes 200 and the movingbody 120 move upward and downward so as to minimize accidents. - While the invention has been described with reference to an embodiment thereof, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes and modifications may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims.
