  The present invention relates to an escalator in which a step is generated on a step board and a passenger conveyor facility including an electric road in which no step is generated.

  Passenger conveyor equipment in which a guide fence that guides the movement of passengers is installed on the entrance / exit side, for example, as disclosed in Patent Document 1, detects passengers and passengers and performs automatic operation to start and stop the passenger conveyor Therefore, a guide fence is provided on the entrance / exit side.

Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 57-71172

  The passenger conveyor facility described in Patent Document 1 does not give consideration to stagnation on the exit side of passengers, and hinders the passage of subsequent passengers due to stagnation on the exit side of preceding passengers. There is a problem that is.

  Especially in variable speed type passenger conveyors that increase passenger transportation capacity by increasing the normal driving speed when crowded, the number of passengers getting off per hour will increase, so it will lead by just one stagnation at the exit side There is a danger that the passenger will fall by being pushed by the following passenger.

  An object of the present invention is to provide a passenger conveyor facility in which the passage of subsequent passengers is not hindered by the stagnation of preceding passengers at the exit.

  In order to achieve the above object, the present invention is a passenger conveyor facility in which guide fences for guiding passengers to get on and off are provided on both sides of the passenger entrance and the exit side of the passenger conveyor, respectively. The area surrounded by the left and right guide fences was made wider than the area surrounded by the left and right guide fences installed at the entrance.

  As mentioned above, by expanding the area surrounded by the left and right guide fences installed on the exit side, even if the preceding passenger stagnates at the exit, the following exits have increased in area. Because it is possible to pass through the guide fence avoiding the previous passengers, you can easily leave the exit.

  As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to obtain passenger conveyor equipment in which the passage of subsequent passengers is not hindered by the stagnation of the preceding passengers at the exit.

  Hereinafter, a passenger conveyor facility according to the present invention will be described based on the electric road facility shown in FIGS.

  The electric road 1 includes a main body frame 3 installed across the floors 2A and 2B provided at a distance from the building structure, and a plurality of the endlessly connected and guided through the main body frame 3 The footboard 4, the entrance-side floor 5 and the exit-side floor 6 that are positioned on both sides in the movement direction of the footboards 4 and are fixed to the main body frame 3, and the movement on the both sides in the movement direction of the treadboard 4 The balustrade 7 is erected, and a moving handrail 8 that is guided by the periphery of the balustrade 7 and moves in synchronization with the tread plate 4.

  Further, a pair of left and right guide fences 9 (9A, 9B) and 10 (10A, 10B) are installed on the entrance side floor 5 and the exit side floor 6, respectively. The left and right guide rails 9A and 9B are installed in parallel along the passenger traveling direction in order to get passengers to line up. On the other hand, the left and right guide fences 10A and 10B are gradually spaced toward the traveling direction of the passengers so that the passengers who have descended on the floor 6 can easily spread. As a result, the area S2 between the left and right guide rails 10A and 10B on the exit side is wider than the area S1 between the left and right guide rails 9A and 9B on the entrance side. .

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, even if the preceding passenger stops on the exit side floor 6, the subsequent passenger changes the course between the wide guide rails 9A and 9B and leads the preceding passenger. Can be easily avoided. Therefore, it is possible to prevent an accident in which the preceding passenger who has stopped is pushed by the subsequent passenger and falls.

  In particular, since the passengers continue without interruption during busy hours, widening the distance between the left and right guide rails 10A and 10B on the exit side is effective in facilitating the spread of the passengers. In addition, there is a variable speed electric road 1 that increases the moving speed from a normal driving speed (for example, 30 m / min) to a high speed (for example, 40 m / min) in order to improve passenger transportation capacity during congestion. Even in such a case, since there is no constant drop-off, it is effective to widen the interval between the guide fences 10A and 10B on the exit side.

  In the above description, the guide fences 10A and 10B on the exit side are installed in a divergent shape to facilitate the spread of the passengers. You may comprise like the modification of 1. 3, the same reference numerals as those in FIGS. 1 and 2 indicate the same members, and thus detailed description thereof is omitted.

  3 is different from FIGS. 1 and 2 in that the left and right guide rails 10A and 10B are arranged in parallel along the passenger traveling direction and installed on the floor 2B side outside the exit floor 6. In addition, the interval is made wider than the interval between the left and right guide rails 9A and 9B on the entrance side. By widening the interval in this way, the area S2 between the entrance fences 10A, 10B is made wider than the area S1 between the entrance fences 9A, 9B.

  According to the first modification, the same effect as that of the above embodiment can be obtained. Although the guide fences 10A and 10B are installed on the floor 2B side, when the width of the exit side floor 6 is wide, the guide fences 10A and 10B should be installed according to the width of the exit side floor 6. However, it is preferable because the construction of the floor 2B can be eliminated.

  FIG. 4 shows a second modification, and the same reference numerals as those in FIGS. 1 and 2 indicate the same members, and thus detailed description thereof is omitted.

  The 2nd modification shown here shows the case where the electric road 1 is installed close to the wall 11 of the building structure, and the guide fence 9 provided on the entrance side is guided with the wall 11. The guide fence 10 configured by the fence 9B and provided on the exit side is configured by the wall 11 and the guide fence 10B. Then, the guide fence 10B is moved in the traveling direction of the passenger so that the area S2 between the exit-side wall 11 and the guide fence 10B is larger than the area S1 between the entrance-side wall 11 and the guide fence 9B. It is installed so that it spreads out. Instead of installing the guide fence 10B so as to spread out, the guide fence 10B arranged in parallel with the wall 11 is replaced with the wall 11 and the guide fence 9B in the same manner as the first modification shown in FIG. The area S <b> 2 may be widened by being arranged so as to be wider than the interval.

  According to the second modification, the same effects as those of the above embodiment can be obtained.

  FIG. 5 shows a case where the motorized road 1 shown in FIG. 1 is provided with two motorized roads 1A and 1B for the forward path adjacent to each other. This is the same as the arrangement of the guide rails 9 (9A, 9B) and 10 (10A, 10B) on the road, and the same effect can be achieved.

  As described above, according to the electric roads 1, 1 </ b> A, 1 </ b> B according to the present embodiment, even if a passenger who descends in advance is stagnant at the entrance, it is an obstacle to the passage of the following passengers. And can be easily separated from the exit side.

  By the way, although the said embodiment demonstrated the electric road as an example as a passenger conveyor installed flat, it cannot be overemphasized that it can apply also to the electric road and escalator installed incline.
