Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、エスカレーターや電動道路等の乗客コンベアの安全装置に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
従来、ステップとその側部に配置される欄干のスカートガード、内デッキカバー部分に安全装置を設ける例としては、例えば特公昭55−18235号公報に開示されているように乗降床付近において、欄干基部からステップ側に向けて突出するブラシ等の安全片を設ける構成が知られている。
【0003】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
最近、公共交通手段の発展とともに従来にも増して乗客コンベアの安全性の強化策と、煙草の火玉、定期券および搭乗券等の異物の機械内部への侵入防止策が求められている。この種要望は、公共性の強い用途ほど重要視され、安全性が高く、異物の侵入しない真に乗客保護を志向した安全装置が必要となっているが、上記公知例は乗降床付近のみに限定した安全装置であり、十分なる乗客保護を成し得なかった。
【0004】
本発明の目的は、乗客が乗るステップとスカートガード間における安全性の向上、異物侵入の確実な防止を図る乗客コンベアの安全装置を提供することにある。
【0005】
【課題を解決するための手段】
上記目的を達成するために本発明の安全装置は、無端状に連結されて移動するステップと、ステップの両側部に配置される欄干と、欄干を構成し、ステップとは一定のすき間を隔てて直立するスカートガードおよび欄干パネルと、スカートガードと欄干パネルの間を塞ぐために設けられ、欄干パネル側よりスカートガード側が低くなる傾斜角を有する内デッキカバーを備えた乗客コンベアにおいて、前記内デッキカバーと前記ステップとの間に、前記スカートガード側からステップ側に向けて突出する第1の刷毛体と、この第1の刷毛体よりもさらにステップ側に向けて突出する第2の刷毛体と、これら第1および第2の刷毛体を植立し、前記スカートガードに固設される基台とからなる安全装置を設けたのである。
【0006】
上記構成の安全装置の存在によって、ステップとスカートガードとの間のすき間部分に目視的、物理的に近寄り難くして安全性を向上させる一方、第1および第2の2段式の刷毛体により火玉や搭乗券などの異物の侵入をより確実に防止するように作用する多目的の効果を発揮することができる。
【0007】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、本発明の乗客コンベアの形態を図1および図2に示すエスカレーターに基づいて説明する。
【0008】
図1は、エスカレーター1の要部を示した斜視図、図2は図1のA−A線に沿う断面図である。図において、エスカレーター1は、無端状に連結されて移動するステップ2と、ステップ2に至る乗降床3、ステップ2の両側に配置される欄干4と、欄干4を構成するもので、ステップ2とは一般に5mm程度のすき間Gを隔てて直立するスカートガード5、欄干パネル6と、スカートガード5と欄干パネル6の間を塞ぐために設けられ、欄干パネル6側よりスカートガード5側が低くなる傾斜角θを有する内デッキカバー7が配置されている。ここで述べた構成は、公知のものであり、上記すき間Gに靴や衣服が引き込まれる人身事故や火玉、定期券および搭乗券などの異物が侵入し、火災、紛失、機械故障などの事故を招くことが問題視されている。
【0009】
このため、上記公知例では乗降床3付近のみに限定して欄干基部からステップ側に向けて突出するブラシ等の安全片を突出させた訳であるが、これでは乗降床以外の長い範囲(ステップ走行路)における事故防止効果がないために、本発明では図示の構成の改善施策を付加してある。
【0010】
本発明の特徴は、安全装置8を一方の乗降床3から他方の乗降床(図示省略)にかけてステップ2の走行路全域のスカートガード5に配置し、全ての部分で後述する安全効果と異物侵入防止効果を発揮する構成とする一方、この安全装置8を構成する二種の刷毛体で構成したことである。
【0011】
安全装置8は、ステップ2とその上側の内デッキカバー7との間にビス等で固設される硬質材の基台8Aと、この基台8Aに植立される前記スカートガード5からステップ2側に向けて突出する長さL1の第1の刷毛体8Bと、この第1の刷毛体8Bよりもさらにステップ2側に向けて突出する長さ差L2の第2の刷毛体8Cで構成したものである。この第1の刷毛体8Bおよび第2の刷毛体8Cの形状構成による効果は、発明者の実験により実証したもので、例えば、図2の矢印Yのように定期券を落下させた場合、この定期券は、第1の刷毛体8Bの上に落ちて載ったままになるか、またはバウンドして落下し、次に第2の刷毛体8Cに接してステップ2の中央側の反すき間G側に矢印Zのよう着地することを確認しており、侵入防止の確実性が高いとの確証を得ている。
【0012】
以上のように、2段式の刷毛体8Bおよび8Cを有する安全装置8によりすき間G部分を目視的、物理的に被い、この部分への人体の接近防止による安全性の向上、異物の侵入を確実防止を図るものである。
【0013】
なお、安全装置8の刷毛体8Bおよび8Cは、難燃性のある材質として火玉による燃焼防止効果を持たせるのが望ましい。また、上記ではエスカレーター用のステップ2について説明したが、電動道路の場合も同様の構成とすることにより類似的効果を奏するものである。
【0014】
【発明の効果】
以上説明したように本発明によれば、乗客が乗るステップとスカートガード間における安全性の向上、異物の侵入防止に優れた乗客コンベアの安全装置を提供できる。

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a safety device for a passenger conveyor such as an escalator and an electric road.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Conventionally, as an example of providing a safety device on a step and a balustrade skirt guard and an inner deck cover portion disposed on the side of the step, for example, as disclosed in Japanese Patent Publication No. 55-18235, near a balustrade, A configuration is known in which a safety piece such as a brush protrudes from a base toward a step side.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
Recently, with the development of public transportation, measures to enhance the safety of passenger conveyors and measures to prevent foreign substances such as fireballs of cigarettes, commuter passes and boarding passes from entering the inside of the machine are required more than ever. This kind of request is regarded as more important for applications with strong publicity, safety is high, and a safety device that is aimed at protecting passengers without foreign matter intrusion is required, but the above-mentioned known example is only in the vicinity of the getting on and off floor. It was a limited safety device and could not provide sufficient passenger protection.
[0004]
An object of the present invention is to provide a safety device for a passenger conveyor that improves safety between a step on which a passenger rides and a skirt guard and reliably prevents foreign matter from entering.
[0005]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to achieve the above object, the safety device of the present invention comprises a step which is connected and moved endlessly, a balustrade arranged on both sides of the step, and a balustrade, and the step is separated by a certain gap. An upright skirt guard and a balustrade panel, and a passenger conveyor provided with an inner deck cover having an inclination angle that is provided to close a gap between the skirt guard and the balustrade panel, and the skirt guard side is lower than the balustrade panel side. A first brush body protruding from the skirt guard side toward the step side, a second brush body protruding further toward the step side than the first brush body, and The first and second brush bodies are erected, and a safety device including a base fixed to the skirt guard is provided.
[0006]
Due to the presence of the safety device having the above configuration, it is difficult to visually and physically approach the gap between the step and the skirt guard to improve safety, while the first and second two-stage brush bodies are used. A multi-purpose effect that acts to more reliably prevent intrusion of foreign matter such as a fireball or a boarding pass can be exhibited.
[0007]
BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, the form of the passenger conveyor of the present invention will be described based on the escalator shown in FIGS.
[0008]
FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a main part of the escalator 1, and FIG. 2 is a sectional view taken along the line AA in FIG. In the figure, an escalator 1 comprises a step 2 that is connected and moved endlessly, a boarding / alighting floor 3 that leads to the step 2, a balustrade 4 arranged on both sides of the step 2, and a balustrade 4; Is generally provided to close the skirt guard 5, the balustrade panel 6, and the skirt guard 5 and the balustrade panel 6 which stand upright with a gap G of about 5 mm, and the inclination angle θ at which the skirt guard 5 side is lower than the balustrade panel 6 side. Is disposed. The configuration described here is a publicly known one, and causes an accident such as a fire, loss, mechanical failure, or the like, in which a personal injury such as a shoe or clothes is drawn into the gap G or a foreign object such as a fireball, a commuter pass or a boarding pass enters. Inviting is considered a problem.
[0009]
For this reason, in the above-mentioned known example, a safety piece such as a brush protruding from the balustrade base toward the step side is protruded from the balustrade base only in the vicinity of the getting on / off floor 3. In order to prevent the accident prevention effect on the traveling road), in the present invention, an improvement measure of the illustrated configuration is added.
[0010]
The feature of the present invention resides in that the safety device 8 is disposed on the skirt guard 5 from the one floor 3 to the other floor (not shown) on the entire traveling path in step 2, and the safety effect and foreign matter intrusion described later in all parts. The safety device 8 is constituted by two types of brushes, while having a structure exhibiting the prevention effect.
[0011]
The safety device 8 includes a hard material base 8A fixed with screws or the like between the step 2 and the inner deck cover 7 above the step 2 and the skirt guard 5 planted on the base 8A. The first brush body 8B having a length L1 protruding toward the side, and the second brush body 8C having a length difference L2 protruding further toward the step 2 side than the first brush body 8B. Things. The effect of the configuration of the first brush body 8B and the second brush body 8C has been proved by an experiment by the inventor. For example, when a commuter pass is dropped as indicated by an arrow Y in FIG. The commuter pass falls on the first brush body 8B and stays on it or bounces down, and then comes into contact with the second brush body 8C, and the counter-gap G side on the center side of step 2 The landing is confirmed as indicated by the arrow Z, and it has been confirmed that the certainty of preventing intrusion is high.
[0012]
As described above, the gap G is visually and physically covered by the safety device 8 having the two-stage brush bodies 8B and 8C, the safety is improved by preventing the human body from approaching this portion, and foreign matter enters. Is to be surely prevented.
[0013]
The brush bodies 8B and 8C of the safety device 8 are desirably made of a flame-retardant material so as to have an effect of preventing combustion by a fireball. In the above description, step 2 for the escalator has been described. However, a similar effect can be obtained in the case of an electric road by adopting a similar configuration.
[0014]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to provide a passenger conveyor safety device that is excellent in improving safety between a step on which a passenger rides and a skirt guard and preventing foreign matter from entering.
