Description
- The invention relates to a step for a conveying system of an escalator. Thereat, each step comprises a riser, a tread, a hinge connecting the riser and the tread, a tow roller, and at least a first supporting point and a second supporting point on each side of the step, wherein at the first supporting point the step is connected to the step chain. Further, each step is configured to be folded via the hinge at least during a turnaround in the transition area.
- Further, the invention relates to a conveying system of an escalator and a process to turnaround a step within a conveying system.
- An escalator as known from the state of the art comprises a lower transition area at the lower end of the escalator, an upper transition area at the upper end of the escalator and a transporting area in between the lower and the upper transition area, wherein in the transition areas the steps of the escalator are turned around.
- To provide enough space for a turnaround of the steps the escalator requires a pit of approximately 1 meter in depth.
- In some cases it could be necessary to reduce the pit size e.g. if there are specific installations underneath the escalator which require space such as a garage or a piping system, or if the escalator has to be installed in an existing building and the effort to provide a large pit is very high.
- It could also be very interesting to reduce the pit size of escalators used for barking and debarking passengers from an airplane, wherein the escalator is usually transported in a truck.
- Therefore, it is desirable to reduce the depth of the pit, especially to reduce the turning radius of the turnaround of the steps within the pit, especially for the lower transition area of an escalator.
- The
EP 1 072 552 A1 discloses a conveying system constructed to reduce the depth of the pit in the lower transition area and the upper transition area of an escalator. Thereat, the steps of the conveying system are folded. In the transition areas, the steps are not turned around but guided in a way, that at any position the tread of a step faces upwards. By doing so, the depth of the pit can be reduced, but by guiding the steps in a way, that the tread of a step always faces upwards leads to an enormous increasing of the length of the pit. - Therefore, the objective task of the invention is to provide a conveying system for an escalator to reduce the depth of the pit of an escalator without increasing the length of the pit. Thereat, the construction of the escalator should be simple and should not require high costs. Especially, the construction of a typical escalator should not be changed in large parts, so a large part of standard components can be used.
- To solve the problem a step for a conveying system of an escalator, a conveying system of an escalator, as well as a process to turnaround a step within a conveying system are proposed according the independent claims.
- Further, advantageous arrangements of the invention are described in the dependent claims and the description as well as shown in the figures.
- The solution of the problem provides a step for a conveying system of an escalator. Therein, each step comprises a riser, a tread, and a hinge connecting the riser and the tread. Further, each step comprises a tow roller, at least a first supporting point, and a second supporting point on each side of the step. At the first supporting point, the step is configured to be connected to a step chain of the escalator. Further, each step is configured to be folded via the hinge at least during a turnaround in a transition area of the escalator.
- Especially, the riser of each step comprises at least a curved sliding guide to guide the riser in a predetermined curve while folding the step, especially while folding the step during the turnaround.
- By guiding the riser in a predetermined curve by the curved sliding guide, collisions are avoided between adjacent steps.
- In an arrangement, the tow roller is adjusted to the step at the second supporting point the step. Via the tow roller, the step is guided circulating along a tow roller guide of the conveying system.
- In a further arrangement, the step is configured to be connected to the step chain in a fixed manner at the first supporting point.
- In a further arrangement, each step comprises a third supporting point. Especially, at the third supporting point, the step is configured to be connected via a riser shaft to the step chain in a lose manner. This lose connection of the step to the step chain via the riser shaft enables a controlled folding of the step, wherein the riser is folded towards the tread.
- In a further arrangement the supporting points of the step are arranged at each side of the step. Especially, the first supporting point is arranged at a front edge of the tread. Especially, the second supporting point is arranged in a mid-region of the tread. Especially, the third supporting point is arranged at the riser, wherein the riser is arranged at a rear edge of the tread. Especially, the third supporting point is arranged at each side of the step and in a mid-region of the step width.
- In a further arrangement, the riser shaft comprises a wheel. Especially, the wheel is configured to roll within the curved sliding guide of the riser.
- So, the riser shaft is arranged within the curved sliding guide of the riser. The wheel adjusted to the riser shaft enables a frictionless sliding during folding of the step.
- In a further arrangement, the riser shaft is configured to be connected to the step chain via a special fitting. The fitting comprises especially a threaded fixed to the step chain and a connecting nut, fitting on the threaded. This fitting enables a quick and easy mounting and dismounting of the step to the step chain.
- In a further arrangement, the riser comprises a riser stiffener. Especially, the riser stiffener is arranged at the lower edge of the riser.
- In case that the riser of a step is dented, a gap could appear between adjacent steps. The riser stiffener has the function to make the riser of the step more rigid to avoid a damage of the riser and thus an appearance of a gap between adjacent steps due to a damage.
- Additionally or alternatively, the thickness of the riser can be increased to prevent a damage of the riser.
- The solution of the problem further provides a conveying system of an escalator, wherein the conveying system comprises a transition area, a step chain, and a plurality of steps. Especially, the steps are connected to the step chain in a fixed manner at a first supporting point. Especially, the steps are connected via a riser shaft to the step chain in a lose manner at a third supporting point. Especially, the riser shaft connected to the step chain via a special fitting as described above.
- In an arrangement, the step chain comprises inner rollers and outer rollers. Especially, an outer roller is adjusted to the step chain at least at the first supporting point of each step. Especially, the inner rollers and outer rollers are guided in a precision guide rail. Especially, the inner rollers are guided along an inner roller running surface of the precision guide rail. Especially, the outer rollers are spaced to an outer roller running surface of the precision guide rail. Especially, at least an outer roller gets in contact with the outer roller running surface in case of a rotation of a step.
- In a further arrangement, the tow rollers adjusted to the second supporting point of the steps are guided by the precision guide rail.
- Guiding the step chain via the inner rollers and outer rollers, as well as guiding the tow rollers of the steps by the precision guide rail leads to an increasing of stability.
- In case a user is standing over the rear edge of a step the main part of the weight force acting on the step due to the user is acting on the first supporting point in an upward direction and on the second supporting point in a downward direction creating a rotation momentum in the step. In case of an occurrence of a rotation of a step, at least an outer roller gets in contact with the outer roller running surface of the precision guide rail. Accordingly, the rotation is reduced by the precision guide rail, increasing significantly the stability of the step.
- The solution of the problem further provides a process to turnaround a step configured as described above within a conveying system as described above, wherein for turnaround the step in the transition area the riser is fold towards the lower side of the tread via the hinge.
- Especially, while folding, the riser is guided in a predetermined curve defined by the curved sliding guide of the riser. Especially, the riser is turned around the riser shaft, wherein the wheel of the riser shaft rolls within the curved sliding guide.
- The step is connected to the step chain at the first supporting point in a fixed manner and at the third supporting point the step is connected to the step chain in a lose manner via the riser shaft. Due to the step chain trajectory during the turnaround within the transition area and the riser shaft sliding in the curved sliding guide, the riser of the step is fold automatically towards the lower side of the tread while entering into the turnaround.
- Equivalent, when leaving the transition area, the step unfolds automatically due to the trajectory of the step chain.
- In a further implementation during unfolding the step, the riser is guided in the predetermined curve defined by the curved sliding guide. Especially the riser shaft slides within the curved sliding guide.
- In that way, collisions between adjacent steps are avoided.
- The special arrangement of the step according the invention, wherein the riser of each step comprises at least a curved sliding guide to guide the riser in a predetermined curve while folding the step enables a turnaround in the transition area of an escalator with a very small turning radius, wherein the riser is kept in a controlled distance to an adjacent step during the folding and unfolding of the step. Thereat, most components of a typical escalator does not need to be changed when using the steps according the invention.
