Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a moving handrail cleaning device for a passenger conveyor.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 8-165085, there are a cleaning liquid application pad, a water wiping pad and a wax application pad which are sequentially provided so as to come into contact with the handrail from the upstream side in the rotating direction of the escalator handrail. A cleaning liquid tank connected to the cleaning liquid applying pad via a connecting pipe, a water tank connected to the wiping pad via a connecting pipe, and a wax tank connected to the wax applying pad via a connecting pipe. There was a technology for moving handrail cleaning devices for passenger conveyors.

[0003]

The above-mentioned prior art is an apparatus for automatically cleaning and polishing a moving handrail with the moving handrail in a moving state, so that the moving handrail washed with a cleaning liquid can be wiped with water. After doing so, waxing is performed, and since the moving handrail moves in a state where it is wet with water or wax, dust in the air adheres and dirt on the guide roller abutting the surface of the moving handrail easily adheres. There was a problem.

An object of the present invention is to provide a moving handrail cleaning device for a passenger conveyor which is highly resistant to dirt and has high cleaning efficiency.

[0005]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention is of a roll type in which a moving handrail of a passenger conveyor is abutted against the moving handrail of the passenger conveyor through a cleaning push pad mat movable up and down. A cleaning cloth, a winding device for moving and winding the cleaning cloth of the roll type, a cleaning liquid tank for impregnating the cleaning cloth of the roll type with the cleaning liquid, and the cleaning pusher mat descending at a preset time interval. In the moving handrail cleaning device of the passenger conveyor, which is provided with a control circuit for operating the winding device for a predetermined time, an empty wiping press base that is arranged at a position separated from the cleaning press base mat by a predetermined dimension and is vertically movable. It is provided with a roll-type blanking cloth which comes into contact with the moving handrail through a mat.

With this construction, the cleaning cloth soaked with the cleaning liquid is brought into contact with the moving handrail to clean the moving handrail. When the wiper is wiped off and the predetermined time has passed, the roll type cleaning cloth and the roll type cleaning cloth are made to come into contact with the moving cleaning cloth and the new part of the cleaning cloth. Can be efficiently cleaned across.

A winding roll 7C around which an empty wiping cloth 7B is wound via the wiping pad mat 6 and a gear 8B for transmitting the rotation of the motor 8A to rotate the winding roll 7C are provided. It has a control device 10 including a lifting / lowering control of the wiping pad mat 6, a rotation control of a motor (not shown) of the winding rolls 4D and 7C and a motor 8A, and a timer circuit set by a timer setting switch 9.

Next, the operation of the maintenance work of the handrail cleaning device 2 of this embodiment will be described.

Now, the setting of the timer setting switch 9 and its role will be described. First, when the switch 9A is turned ON, the rising time of the cleaning press pad mat 3 and the blanking wipe press pad mat 6 is set to 5 minutes, and when it is OFF, it is set to 10 minutes. When the switch 9B is turned on, the winding roll 4
The winding time of D and 7C is set to 5 seconds, and when it is OFF, it is set to 10 seconds. When the switches 9C1 and 9C2 are turned on, the descending time of the cleaning press pad 3 and the blank wiping large mat 6 is set to 6 hours, and the switch 9C1 is turned on.
N, 12 hours when the switch 9C2 is OFF, and 24 hours when the switches 9C1 and 9C2 are OFF. In this embodiment, the switch 9A is ON for 5 minutes, the switch 9B is ON for 5 seconds, the switch 9C1 is ON, and the switch 9C2 is OFF for 12 hours.

First, when the passenger conveyor is stopped (step S1), the cleaning push pad mat 3 and the dry wipe push pad mat 6 are provided.
Is lowered (step S2).

Next, when the power switch 10A of the handrail cleaning device 2 is turned off (step S3), the pilot lamp PL is turned off and the handrail cleaning device 2 is turned off.
Is turned off, the cleaning liquid 4C is replenished in the tank 5, and the inspection work such as the replacement of the cleaning cloth 4B and the blanking cloth 7B is performed (step S4). When such inspection work is completed, the power switch 10A is turned on. When it is turned on (step S5),
The pilot lamp PL lights up and the controller 1
A timer device (not shown) in 0 operates (step S
6), rotate the motor (not shown) and the motor 8A for 5 seconds set by the switch 9B of the timer setting switch 9,
The cleaning cloth 4B and the blank cloth 7B are wound on the winding rolls 4D and 7C (step S7).

Next, when it is confirmed that the winding operation by the winding rolls 4D and 7C is completed, the start switch (not shown) of the passenger conveyor is turned on to bring it into an operating state (step S8), and the controller 10 cleans it. The push pad mat 3 and the dry wipe push pad mat 6 are raised (step S9), the counting of 5 minutes set by the switch 9A of the timer setting switch 9 is started, and the cleaning of the handrail 1 is started (step S10). ) After 5 minutes, the cleaning pusher mat 3 and the blanking wiper mat 6 are lowered, and then the take-up roll 4D for 5 seconds set by the switch 9B of the timer setting switch 9,
7C is rotated to wind the cleaning cloth 4B and the blank cloth 7B,
A new portion is positioned on the cleaning push pad mat 3A and the empty wipe push pad mat 6 (step S11), and the control device 10 stops the handrail cleaning device 2 and sets the timer setting switch 9 using the switches 9C1 and 9C2. Done 12
The time is measured (step S12), and when 12 hours have passed (step S13), the process returns to step S10 and the handrail cleaning is performed again for 5 minutes.

According to this embodiment, the cleaning liquid and stains applied on the cleaning cloth 4B are dried before the cleaning liquid and dirt are dried.
Since it is wiped off with, the dirt adhering to the handrail 1 is efficiently cleaned, and since the surface of the handrail 1 is not wet, dust does not adhere.
