Description

  The present invention relates to an escalator in which a step is generated between adjacent treads and a passenger conveyor such as an electric road that does not generate a step between adjacent treads. About.

  Conventionally, a passenger conveyor in which dust adhering to the footwear of a passenger is allowed to drop at a passenger floor has already been proposed in Patent Document 1, for example.

  That is, the passenger conveyor disclosed in Patent Document 1 is provided with a mud receiver at a position lower than the floor surface of the getting-on / off floor, and the mud receiver has a plurality of holes and is a surface plate substantially flush with the floor surface of the getting-on / off floor. It's covered. As the passenger walks on the surface board configured in this way, dust such as mud adhering to the footwear of the passenger falls from a plurality of holes in the surface board to the lower mud receiver, so that dust on the tread board side It will reduce the fall.

Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 62-19768

  In the conventional passenger conveyor, the amount of dust and the like transported by passengers to the side of the tread decreases, so that the tread can be prevented from being damaged by dust. However, in order to remove the dust accumulated in the mud receptacle below the surface plate, the surface plate fixed to the landing floor or mud tray must be unfastened, then the surface plate must be removed, and then removed. Since the work of attaching and detaching the face plate is involved, the work of removing dust is troublesome.

  An object of the present invention is to provide a passenger conveyor capable of removing dust accumulated on a boarding / exiting floor without attaching / detaching parts.

  In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a boarding / alighting floor formed with a plurality of dust removal protrusions and a non-slip groove formed on the boarding floor between the dust removal protrusions. A dust removing means having a dust reservoir opening on the floor side of the floor is provided.

  According to the present invention, since only a plurality of dust removal projections and a dust reservoir are provided on the boarding / exiting floor, the dust accumulated due to dust is sucked from the dust removal projection side by a vacuum cleaner or the like, It can be easily removed without attaching or detaching parts. Further, the dust solidified in the dust reservoir can be easily removed by sucking it after breaking the mass with a wire or the like.

  Hereinafter, an embodiment of a passenger conveyor according to the present invention will be described based on the escalator shown in FIGS.

  The escalator 1 includes a frame 4 installed across an upper floor 2 and a lower floor 3 of a building, a plurality of step boards 5 connected endlessly and circulated within the frame 4, and the frame A balustrade panel 6 erected on both sides in the moving direction of the tread plate 5 of the body 4, a moving handrail 7 that is guided by the periphery of the balustrade panel and moves in synchronization with the tread plate 4, and is moved in an endless manner. Boarding floors 8 and 9 installed on the frame 4 at both ends in the moving direction of the tread plate 5.

  The tread plate 5 has a plurality of cleats along the tread plate moving direction on the passenger mounting surface, and the cleat is, for example, 2.6 mm thick, 11 mm high, and a pair of high heels usually sandwiched between them. It is formed with 5.8 mm so that there is no.

  The passenger floors 8 and 9 are connected to a passenger walking portion 10 formed of, for example, a stainless steel sheet, and a slanted lower end inclined to the side of the step board 5 of the passenger walking portion 10 so as to mesh with the cleat of the step board 5 in contact. Comb teeth 11 are included. And the said passenger walk part 10 and the comb tooth 11 are reinforced by the reinforcement members 12A-12C supported by the said frame 4 so that attachment or detachment is possible, and the passenger who walks slips on the said passenger walk part 10. A plurality of non-slip grooves (not shown) that are recessed from the surface by about 0.7 mm are formed so as not to fall.

  And the path | pass which a passenger walks in the passenger boarding side to the boarding / falling floors 8 and 9 near the opposite boarding board side which is the opposite side to the boarding board 5 side of the boarding / falling floors 8 and 9 formed as mentioned above. Dust removing means 13 is provided across the width.

  The dust removing means 13 is supported by the reinforcing members 12B and 12C of the landing floors 8 and 9, and is formed between the plurality of dust removing protrusions 14 and the dust removing protrusions 14, and the landing floors 8, 9 and a dust reservoir 15 opening on the floor surface side. The depth of the dust reservoir 15 is deeper than the anti-slip groove formed in the passenger floors 8 and 9.

  According to the present embodiment, the dust removing means 13 having the dust removing projections 14 and the dust reservoir 15 opening on the floor surface side is provided on the passenger floors 8 and 9, so that the passenger can move on the dust removing means 13. By walking, the dust removal protrusion 14 drops the dust adhering to the bottom of the footwear of the passenger, and the fallen dust can be stored in the dust reservoir 15. As a result, most of the dust adhering to the bottom of the footwear of the passenger can be removed at the landing floors 8 and 9, so that the amount of dust falling on the side of the footboard 5 is reduced, and the dust falling from the bottom of the footwear is reduced. It will not fall into the machine room below the landing floors 8 and 9.

  The dust accumulated in the dust reservoir 15 is sucked from the entrance / exit surface side by a vacuum cleaner or the like because the dust reservoir 15 is open to the entrance / exit surface side, so that the dust removing means 13 is brought into the entrance / exit floor 8. , 9 can be easily removed without removal. Further, the dust solidified in the dust reservoir 15 can be easily removed by breaking the mass with a wire or the like and then sucking it with a vacuum cleaner or the like.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, the dust removal means 13 can be removed from the landing floors 8 and 9 without removing the dust accumulated in the dust storage 15 on the landing floor. it can.

  By the way, in the said embodiment, the protrusion 14 for dust removal of the dust removal means 13 may be a dot-like protrusion, and may be comprised with the some crosspiece arranged in parallel in the direction orthogonal to a passenger advancing direction. In any case, it is necessary that the interval between the dot-like projections and the interval between the crosspieces is the same as the interval between the cleats of the tread plate 5 so that the heel of the high heel does not fall. In the case where the dust removal protrusion 14 is constituted by a plurality of parallel bars, the dust removal means 13 itself may use the same components as the cleat portion of the tread plate 5, or the cleat portion of the tread plate 5 may be used. By using the same components as those described above, a dedicated design and manufacturing for the dust removing means 13 can be omitted. Further, when a dedicated part is designed and manufactured as the dust removing means 13, the dust removing protrusion 14 may be formed of hard rubber or a brush shape.

  The dust removing means 13 is not expected to have a dust removing effect when the passenger walks across, so that the passenger of the dust removing means 13 is surely at least one foot of the passenger is stepped on the dust removing means 13. It is necessary to ensure the length in the traveling direction.

  In the above description, the escalator has been described as an example of the passenger conveyor. However, it goes without saying that the present invention can be applied to an electric road that does not cause a step on the tread board.
