Processing causing resistance only in the direction of the circulation belt is applied to the upper surface of the comb, or a member causing a moving resistance only in the direction of the circulation belt is installed on the upper surface of the comb. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI

Description

  The present invention relates to an improvement of a boarding / exiting device on a belt type moving sidewalk, particularly on a moving sidewalk using a flat belt.

  In the conventional rubber belt type moving sidewalk, the moving speed is usually as low as 30 to 40 m / min, and a groove is provided on the tread belt to engage with the comb teeth of the entrance / exit, and the thickness of the belt is generally thick. The turning radius was large, and the thickness of the moving sidewalk device was very large.

  Therefore, recently, an acceleration type moving sidewalk or a constant speed type moving sidewalk as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 has been proposed. That is, circulation belts 1, 2,..., 5 having different speeds or circulation belts having the same speed are arranged in series, and at least the circulation belt 1 facing the plate 6 arranged at the entrance / exit is a thin grooveless flat A moving sidewalk of the type that can be installed directly on the floor surface by using a circulating belt with a structure and reducing the turning radius by using a small diameter roller for the guide roller at the end, reducing the thickness of the whole moving sidewalk. is there.

    In such a belt-type moving walkway, the entrance / exit device at the end is extremely important for passenger safety, and the applicant has proposed the device shown in FIG.

    5A is a view taken along the line AA in FIG. 4, FIG. 5B is a partially enlarged plan view of FIG. 5A, and 10 is a comb that is well known to face the circulation belt 1. The comb plate 20 is provided with a plurality of notches 10 a at the tip thereof, which are disposed at a lower level than the running surface of the circulation belt 1. The width d and the pitch p of the notches 10a are set to dimensions such that, for example, even a passenger wearing high heels, the heel does not fit into the notches 10a or fall. In one example, the width d is about 7 mm and the pitch p is about 10 mm.

Reference numeral 11 denotes a rotatable roller arranged so that a part of the comb 10 has a face on the surface from the notch 10a, and is fixed to the shaft 11a. A rotating member 12 such as a pulley provided at one end of the shaft 11a is wound around a transmission member 14 such as a belt between the rotating member 13 provided on the shaft 7a of the guide roller 7 of the circulation belt 1. ing. (For example, see Patent Document 1)
Japanese Patent Application No. 2003-201086

However, even with such an entrance / exit device, dropped objects (money, handkerchiefs, cards, etc.) that were once ejected by the rotating body 11 and jumped onto the comb 10 slipped because the top surface of the comb was extremely smooth. The problem of falling into the gap again remained.

The present invention is a moving sidewalk in which passengers are conveyed by a circulation belt, and includes a comb at a position facing the end of the circulation belt, and a plurality of notches are provided at the tip of the comb, In which a roller is rotatably provided so that a part protrudes above,
1. The upper surface of the comb is processed so as to generate a movement resistance only toward the circulation belt.
2. On the upper surface of the comb, there is provided a member which becomes a movement resistance only toward the circulation belt.
Is.

  According to the invention, the roller not only works to prevent the object from being caught, but once it jumps up to the comb, it will stay on the comb without slipping down, so the user moves safely You can use the sidewalk.

  In the present invention, a comb is provided at the tip of the end plate, and a roller having a function of facilitating smooth movement of passengers is rotatably provided at a notch portion of the comb. It is intended to provide a streak.

Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a side view of an entrance / exit device according to the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a plan view of FIG.

  In the figure, the same reference numerals as those in FIGS. 3 to 5 denote the same components, but reference numeral 30 denotes a comb according to the present invention. The groove 30a, for example, a process like a sharp tooth is applied.

  Even if it is a soft cloth such as a handkerchief or a muffler if it is opened by such processing, even if the cloth once dropped on the circulation belt 1 is thrown onto the comb 30 by the rotating roller 11 As a result of being caught in the groove 30a and being held in that position, there is no possibility of falling into the gap between the circulation belt 1 and the comb 30.

  The groove 30a only needs to increase the movement resistance only toward the circulation belt 1, and therefore, a member that causes resistance is attached to the upper surface of the comb 30, for example, a tape is applied or paint is applied. You may do it.

  In the above description, a moving sidewalk arranged in a horizontal line is described as an example, but a moving sidewalk arranged in an inclined state may be used, and is not limited to the embodiment.

It is a side view of the entrance / exit device according to the present invention. It is a top view of FIG. It is a side view of an acceleration type moving sidewalk. It is a top view of various moving walkways. It is the side view and top view of a conventional apparatus.
