Description

本発明は、エスカレーター等の乗客コンベアに係り、特にその踏段の注意帯に関する。   The present invention relates to a passenger conveyor such as an escalator, and more particularly to a caution band for the step.

従来から、乗客コンベアの踏段の側縁等には注意帯が設けられている。この注意帯は、乗客が乗るための中央の踏面クリートと異なる色の材質から形成されており、乗客に注意を促す役目を果たしている。特に、特許文献1では、蓄光材を含有する材料からなる注意帯が提案されており、暗い場所でも注意帯を目立たせることによって安全性が高まることが期待されている。   Conventionally, caution bands have been provided on the side edges of passenger conveyor steps. The caution belt is formed of a material having a different color from that of the central tread cleat for the passenger to ride on, and plays a role of alerting the passenger. In particular, Patent Document 1 proposes a caution band made of a material containing a phosphorescent material, and it is expected that safety is enhanced by making the caution band conspicuous even in a dark place.

特開平3−211190号公報JP-A-3-211190

しかしながら、上記蓄光材を用いた注意帯は、暗い状態のときに大きな効果を発揮するが、日光や照明等により一定の明るさが保たれている通常時には、それほど目立つものではない。また、目立つ注意帯であれば何でも良い訳ではなく、ハイヒールの踵など硬いものが衝突しても壊れないような注意帯にする必要もある。   However, although the caution band using the phosphorescent material exhibits a great effect in a dark state, it is not so conspicuous in a normal time when a constant brightness is maintained by sunlight or illumination. In addition, anything that stands out is not necessary, and it is necessary to make it a caution band that does not break even if a hard object such as a high-heeled heel collides.

本発明の目的は、日光や照明等により一定の明るさが保たれている状態において、乗客の安全性をより向上させた乗客コンベアを提供することにある。   The objective of this invention is providing the passenger conveyor which improved the safety | security of the passenger more in the state where fixed brightness is maintained by sunlight, illumination, etc.

上記目的を達成するために、本発明は、無端状に連結されて循環移動する複数の踏段を備えた乗客コンベアにおいて、前記踏段の表面の少なくとも一部に、高強度可塑性樹脂と蛍光顔料を材料として含む部材を取付けたのである。   In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a passenger conveyor having a plurality of steps that are endlessly connected and circulated, and a high-strength plastic resin and a fluorescent pigment are formed on at least a part of the surface of the steps. A member included as is attached.

本発明によれば、日光や照明等により一定の明るさが保たれている状態において、踏段からの足の踏み外しや、踏段に隣接する部分との隙間への挟まれを防止することができ、かつ、壊れにくい乗客コンベアが提供できる。   According to the present invention, in a state where constant brightness is maintained by sunlight, lighting, etc., it is possible to prevent the stepping of the foot from the step and the pinching in the gap between the portion adjacent to the step, In addition, it is possible to provide a passenger conveyor that is not easily broken.

以下、本発明の実施例について、図面を用いて説明する。   Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

図1は、本発明の第1の実施例を示す乗客コンベアであるエスカレーターの全体構成図である。図1に示す通り、本実施例のエスカレーターは、上階と下階の間に跨って設置された枠体1と、この枠体1の上下端部に設置された乗降床2,3と、この乗降床2,3間を無端状に連結されて循環移動する複数の踏段4を有する。また、このエスカレーターは、前記踏段4の移動方向、すなわち奥行方向に沿った両側に対応する前記枠体1に立設された欄干5と、この欄干5の周縁に案内され前記踏段4と同期移動する移動手摺6とを備えている。さらに、このエスカレーターは、前記踏段4と欄干5とを区画するために前記枠体1に垂直なスカートガード7を固定している。   FIG. 1 is an overall configuration diagram of an escalator, which is a passenger conveyor, showing a first embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, the escalator of the present embodiment includes a frame 1 installed between the upper floor and the lower floor, and boarding / exit floors 2 and 3 installed at the upper and lower ends of the frame 1, A plurality of steps 4 that circulate and move endlessly between the getting-on / off floors 2 and 3 are provided. In addition, the escalator includes a rail 5 standing on the frame 1 corresponding to the moving direction of the step 4, that is, both sides along the depth direction, and a synchronous movement with the step 4 guided by the periphery of the rail 5. Moving handrail 6. Further, this escalator fixes a skirt guard 7 perpendicular to the frame body 1 in order to partition the step 4 and the balustrade 5.

次に、図2は、本実施例のエスカレーターにおける前記踏段4の斜視図である。前記踏段4は、踏段枠8に固定されて乗客を載せるための踏面を形成するクリート体9と、前記踏段枠8に固定され前記クリート体9の下段側から垂下するライザ10とを有する。このように構成された踏段4を無端状に連結し、これらの踏段4を、前記枠体1に固定した図示しないガイドレール上に前後輪を案内転動させることにより前記両乗降床2,3間に循環移動させている。   Next, FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the step 4 in the escalator of the present embodiment. The step 4 includes a cleat body 9 that is fixed to the step frame 8 to form a tread surface for placing a passenger, and a riser 10 that is fixed to the step frame 8 and hangs down from the lower side of the cleat body 9. The steps 4 configured as described above are connected endlessly, and these steps 4 are guided and rolled on front and rear wheels on guide rails (not shown) fixed to the frame body 1, so Circulating movement between them.

また、図3に示すように、踏段4の表面に踏面を形成するクリート体9の周囲の4つの縁部に、注意帯として黄色透明な蛍光高強度デマケーション11を設けている。この蛍光高強度デマケーション11は、強度の高い熱可塑性樹脂に、蛍光顔料を入れて形成する。例えば、熱可塑性樹脂としてポリカーボネートを用いると、耐衝撃性の極めて高いデマケーションができる。また、蛍光顔料を含んでいるので、紫外線などの波長の短い光を受けて、可視光などの波長の長い光を放射するため、可視領域における反射光を増幅させる結果、デマケーションの黄色が鮮やかな色彩に見えるようになる。ここで、蛍光顔料は、透明な固体の担体中に蛍光染料を均一に溶解させることによって製造するが、その性質は、使用する蛍光染料の種類とその配合割合,担体樹脂の塑性,染着方法,製法などに影響される。少なくとも蛍光染料の色は、黄色系のものを使用する。   Further, as shown in FIG. 3, yellow transparent high-fluorescence demarcation 11 is provided as a caution band at four edges around the cleat body 9 that forms the tread on the surface of the step 4. This fluorescent high intensity demarcation 11 is formed by putting a fluorescent pigment in a high strength thermoplastic resin. For example, when polycarbonate is used as the thermoplastic resin, demarcation with extremely high impact resistance can be achieved. In addition, since it contains a fluorescent pigment, it emits light with a short wavelength such as ultraviolet light and emits light with a long wavelength such as visible light. As a result, the reflected light in the visible region is amplified, resulting in a bright yellow demarcation. It looks like a different color. Here, the fluorescent pigment is produced by uniformly dissolving the fluorescent dye in a transparent solid carrier. The properties of the fluorescent pigment include the type and blending ratio of the fluorescent dye used, the plasticity of the carrier resin, and the dyeing method. , Affected by manufacturing method. At least the fluorescent dye has a yellow color.

次に、デマケーションの踏段4への取付方法を、図3を用いて説明する。寸法の長い幅方向については、部分的な蛍光高強度デマケーション片11a〜11fを複数分けて製造し、踏段4の縁部に固定するときに連続的に配置して、幅方向の蛍光高強度デマケーション11を形成するのが望ましい。これにより、デマケーションの製造作業,踏段への組立作業,保守作業が容易となる。尚、寸法の短い奥行方向についても、同様に形成しても良い。また、図4に示すように、デマケーションの断面は、踏面クリート部分と同様、凹凸状になっている。   Next, a method of attaching the demarcation to the step 4 will be described with reference to FIG. For the width direction with a long dimension, a plurality of partial fluorescent high-intensity demarcation pieces 11a to 11f are manufactured and arranged continuously when being fixed to the edge of the step 4, so that the high fluorescent intensity in the width direction is obtained. It is desirable to form a demarcation 11. This facilitates demarcation manufacturing work, assembly work on steps, and maintenance work. In addition, you may form similarly about the depth direction with a short dimension. Moreover, as shown in FIG. 4, the cross section of the demarcation is uneven as in the tread cleat portion.

上記本実施例の乗客コンベアによれば、太陽や照明の光によって、デマケーションの部分が強く鮮やかな色彩を放つので、乗客の目につきやすい。したがって、スカートガード7や上方に位置するライザ10との隙間への挟まれが防止できる。また、隣接する踏段との境界が明瞭となるので、踏段からの足の踏み外しも防止することができ、踏段の動きが見やすくなるので、踏段へ乗り込むタイミングも取りやすくなる。特に、高齢者や視力の弱い人が乗客コンベアへ乗り込むときの安全性向上には効果的である。   According to the passenger conveyor of the present embodiment, the demarcation part emits a strong and vivid color by the sun and the light of the illumination, so that it is easy for passengers to see. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the skirt guard 7 and the riser 10 positioned above from being caught in the gap. In addition, since the boundary between the adjacent steps becomes clear, it is possible to prevent the stepping of the foot from the step, and the movement of the step is easy to see, and it is easy to take the timing of getting into the step. In particular, it is effective for improving safety when an elderly person or a person with weak eyesight gets on the passenger conveyor.

一方で、上記デマケーションは、高強度でもあるため、乗客のハイヒールなど硬いものがあたっても壊れにくいという利点もある。つまり、本実施例のデマケーションは、乗客の目につきやすい蛍光性と壊れにくい高い強度とを兼ね備えたものである。   On the other hand, since the demarcation is also high in strength, there is also an advantage that it is hard to break even if a hard object such as a passenger's high heel is hit. That is, the demarcation of the present embodiment combines fluorescence that is easily noticeable by passengers and high strength that is difficult to break.

尚、本発明のデマケーションは、エスカレーターに限らず、動く歩道などについても適用できるのはいうまでもない。また、クリート体周囲の縁部すべてに上記デマケーション設ける必要はなく、例えば、両側の縁部と上方に隣接する踏段側の縁部にだけ設けるものであっても有効である。更に、上記デマケーションの色は、黄色透明に限らず、注意を喚起するものであれば、どんな色でも構わない。   Needless to say, the demarcation of the present invention can be applied not only to escalators but also to moving walkways. Further, it is not necessary to provide the above demarcation at all the edges around the cleat body. For example, it is effective to provide only at the edges on the step side adjacent to the edges on both sides. Further, the color of the demarcation is not limited to yellow and transparent, and any color may be used as long as it draws attention.
