Description

本発明はエスカレーターや電動道路等の乗客コンベアに係り、特に、左右の欄干に左右の移動手摺の間隔よりも広い間隔の凹部を形成した乗客コンベアに関する。 The present invention relates to passenger conveyors such as escalators and electric roads, and more particularly to passenger conveyors in which left and right balustrades have recesses wider than the distance between left and right moving handrails.

左右の移動手摺の間隔よりも広い間隔の凹部を欄干に形成した乗客コンベアは、例えば特許文献１に示すように、既に提案されている。 As shown in Patent Document 1, for example, a passenger conveyor has already been proposed in which concave portions having a wider interval than the interval between the left and right moving handrails are formed in the railing.

Ｗ０２００３／０４８０２１号公報W02003 / 048021

上記特許文献１に記載の乗客コンベアにおいては、欄干に凹部を形成しているために、乗客は手荷物などがこの凹部内にある状態で移動できるので、手荷物によって踏段上の乗り位置を占有することがなくなる。また、欄干の終端部では凹部に連なって傾斜部材が手摺枠まで設けられているので、凹部に位置する手荷物はその傾斜部材によって案内されるので、欄干の終端部に激突させることなく欄干外に誘導することが出来る。 In the passenger conveyor described in Patent Document 1, since the recess is formed in the railing, the passenger can move with his / her baggage in the recess, so the baggage occupies the riding position on the step. Disappears. In addition, since the slanting member is provided up to the handrail frame at the end of the balustrade, the baggage located in the recess is guided by the slanting member, so that it does not collide with the end of the balustrade. Can be guided.

しかしながら、上記構成の欄干によれば、欄干終端を通過する瞬間に手荷物が内側に誘導されるので、欄干終端部には手荷物の移動方向変更による反力が作用し、欄干終端部を外側に押し広げようとする。この反力が繰り返し欄干終端部に作用すると、オーバーハング状態にある欄干終端部の支持が次第に緩んでくる虞がある。 However, according to the balustrade of the above configuration, the baggage is guided inward at the moment of passing the balustrade end, so that the reaction force due to the change of the baggage movement direction acts on the balustrade end portion, pushing the balustrade end portion outward. Try to spread. If this reaction force repeatedly acts on the balustrade end, the support of the balustrade end in an overhang state may gradually loosen.

本発明の目的は、欄干パネルによって手荷物の移動方向を変更させることでその反力が作用しても欄干の支持が安定して行える乗客コンベアを提供することにある。 An object of the present invention is to provide a passenger conveyor that can stably support a balustrade even if the reaction force acts by changing the moving direction of the baggage by the balustrade panel.

本発明は上記目的を達成するために、欄干パネルを移動手摺よりも外側に位置させると共に、欄干パネルと手摺枠との間を塞ぐ傾斜部材を設けた欄干の移動手摺が反転する反転部において、前記傾斜部材に、欄干パネルよりも内側に位置する平坦部を形成すると共に、この平坦部と欄干パネルとの間を塞ぐ傾斜部を形成したのである。 In order to achieve the above object, the reversing unit in which the balustrade panel is positioned outside the moving handrail and the moving balustrade of the balustrade provided with an inclined member for closing between the balustrade panel and the handrail frame is reversed, A flat portion positioned inside the balustrade panel is formed on the inclined member, and an inclined portion is formed to block between the flat portion and the balustrade panel.

以上のように、欄干の反転部において欄干パネルよりも内側に位置する平坦部を形成し、この平坦部に連なって欄干パネルに至る傾斜部を設けたので、乗客の手荷物は欄干の終端部に至る前の欄干支持部に近い傾斜部によって移動方向を変更される。その結果、手荷物の移動方向変更による反力が作用しても、その反力の作用点が欄干支持部に近いので、欄干の支持が安定して行える乗客コンベアを得ることができる。 As described above, a flat part located inside the balustrade panel is formed in the reversing part of the balustrade, and an inclined part that extends to the balustrade panel is provided continuously to the flat part, so that the passenger's baggage is at the end part of the balustrade The moving direction is changed by the inclined part close to the balustrade support part. As a result, even if a reaction force due to a change in the movement direction of the baggage is applied, the point of action of the reaction force is close to the balustrade support part, so that a passenger conveyor that can stably support the balustrade can be obtained.

以下本発明による乗客コンベアの一実施の形態を、図１〜図４に示すエスカレーターに基づいて説明する。 Hereinafter, an embodiment of a passenger conveyor according to the present invention will be described based on the escalator shown in FIGS.

一般に、エスカレーター１は、上階床２と下階床３とに跨って支持された枠体４と、踏板を有し無端状に連結された複数の踏段５と、これら踏段５の移動方向両側の前記枠体４上に立設された欄干６と、この欄干６の周縁に案内されて移動する移動手摺７と、前記踏段５への乗り降りを行う上部乗降床８及び下部乗降床９とを有している。 In general, the escalator 1 includes a frame 4 supported across an upper floor 2 and a lower floor 3, a plurality of steps 5 having end plates and connected endlessly, and both sides of the steps 5 in the moving direction. A railing 6 erected on the frame 4, a moving handrail 7 guided and moved by the periphery of the railing 6, and an upper and lower landing floor 8 and a lower landing floor 9 for getting on and off the step 5. Have.

前記欄干６は、枠体４に固定されて立設された複数の支柱１０と、これら支柱１０に支持された欄干パネル１１と、前記支柱１０の上端部に固定され前記移動手摺７の移動を案内する手摺枠１２と、手摺枠１２の外側に設けられた外デッキカバー１３と、前記欄干パネル１１の下部を覆う内デッキカバー１４と、内デッキカバー１４の下方に垂直に連なり前記踏段５と枠体４側を仕切るスカートガード１５とを有している。 The balustrade 6 is fixed to the frame 4, a plurality of support columns 10, a balustrade panel 11 supported by the support columns 10, and an upper end portion of the support column 10 to move the movable handrail 7. A handrail frame 12 for guiding, an outer deck cover 13 provided outside the handrail frame 12, an inner deck cover 14 covering the lower part of the balustrade panel 11, and the step 5 connected vertically below the inner deck cover 14 It has a skirt guard 15 for partitioning the frame 4 side.

さらに、前記欄干６は、欄干パネル１１が移動手摺７よりも外側（反踏段５側）に位置させている。その結果、手摺枠１２に対して欄干パネル１１が外側に変位するが、この変位によって手摺枠１２と欄干パネル１１との間に生じた段差部に、傾斜部材１６を設置している。この傾斜部材１６は、欄干パネル１１と同じ材質で形成しても異種材料で形成してもよいが、摩擦抵抗が小さい材料で形成することが望ましい。 Further, the balustrade 6 has the balustrade panel 11 positioned outside the moving handrail 7 (on the side opposite to the step 5). As a result, the balustrade panel 11 is displaced outward with respect to the handrail frame 12, and the inclined member 16 is installed at a step portion generated between the handrail frame 12 and the balustrade panel 11 due to this displacement. The inclined member 16 may be formed of the same material as the balustrade panel 11 or a different material, but is preferably formed of a material having low frictional resistance.

このように欄干パネル１１を変位させることで、傾斜部材１６−欄干パネル１１−内デッキカバー１４とで、移動手摺７よりも外側に張り出す凹部が形成される。 By displacing the balustrade panel 11 in this manner, a concave portion that protrudes outward from the moving handrail 7 is formed by the inclined member 16 -the balustrade panel 11 -the inner deck cover 14.

一方、欄干６の終端部においては、移動手摺７が方向転換する反転部に続く水平区間の手摺枠１２に沿って、前記傾斜部材１６に連なる第１の傾斜部１７が設けられ、そして移動手摺７が方向転換する反転部の手摺枠１２の内側には、前記欄干パネ１１ルよりも内側（踏段５側）に位置する平坦部１８が設けられ、さらに、この平坦部１８と前記第１の傾斜部１７との段差を埋める第２の傾斜部１９が設けられている。そして、第１の傾斜部１７と第２の傾斜部１９とで囲まれた部分には、前記欄干パネル１１と面一となるように端部欄干パネル２０が支柱１０に支持されている。 On the other hand, at the end portion of the balustrade 6, a first inclined portion 17 connected to the inclined member 16 is provided along the handrail frame 12 in the horizontal section following the reversing portion where the moving handrail 7 changes its direction. 7 is provided on the inner side of the handrail frame 12 of the reversing portion where the direction changes, and a flat portion 18 is provided on the inner side of the balustrade panel 11 (on the step 5 side). Further, the flat portion 18 and the first portion A second inclined portion 19 that fills a step with the inclined portion 17 is provided. An end balustrade panel 20 is supported by the column 10 so as to be flush with the balustrade panel 11 in a portion surrounded by the first inclined portion 17 and the second inclined portion 19.

ところで、少なくとも、第１の傾斜部１７と平坦部１８と第２の傾斜部１９とは、同一材料により一体的に形成されている。しかし、これらの製造上や強度上あるいは材料の歩留まりを考慮すると、第１の傾斜部１７と平坦部１８と第２の傾斜部１９に加え、端部欄干パネル２０も一体的に形成することが望ましい。 By the way, at least the first inclined portion 17, the flat portion 18, and the second inclined portion 19 are integrally formed of the same material. However, in consideration of manufacturing, strength, and material yield, the end balustrade panel 20 can be integrally formed in addition to the first inclined portion 17, the flat portion 18, and the second inclined portion 19. desirable.

欄干６の終端部を以上のように形成することで、傾斜部材１６−欄干パネル１１−内デッキカバー１４とで形成された凹部内を移動してきた乗客の手荷物は、移動手摺７の方向転換部に至る前で、第２の傾斜部１９によって矢印Ｐ方向に移動方向を変更させられる。このとき、第２の傾斜部１９に手荷物の移動方向変更による反力が作用するが、近傍には支柱１０等の強度部材が配置されているので、その反力を十分に受けることが出来、欄干を安定に支持することが出来る。 By forming the end portion of the balustrade 6 as described above, the baggage of the passenger who has moved in the recess formed by the inclined member 16 -the balustrade panel 11 -the inner deck cover 14 is changed to the direction changing portion of the moving handrail 7 Before reaching the position, the moving direction is changed in the direction of arrow P by the second inclined portion 19. At this time, a reaction force due to a change in the direction of movement of the baggage acts on the second inclined portion 19, but since a strength member such as the support column 10 is arranged in the vicinity, the reaction force can be sufficiently received, The parapet can be supported stably.

また、第１の傾斜部１７と第２の傾斜部１９とを、平坦部１８及び／又は端部欄干パネル２０と一体的に形成することで、手荷物による移動方向変更時の反力の影響を受け易い欄干終端部における第１の傾斜部１７と第２の傾斜部１９とを安定に支持することができる。 Further, by forming the first inclined portion 17 and the second inclined portion 19 integrally with the flat portion 18 and / or the end balustrade panel 20, the influence of the reaction force when changing the moving direction due to baggage can be reduced. It is possible to stably support the first inclined portion 17 and the second inclined portion 19 at the balustrade end portion that is easily received.

さらに、第１の傾斜部１７と平坦部１８と第２の傾斜部１９と端部欄干パネル２０とを一体的に形成することで、欄干への取付け部品点数を減少させることが出来、欄干の組立作業を容易にすることが出来る。 Furthermore, by integrally forming the first inclined portion 17, the flat portion 18, the second inclined portion 19, and the end balustrade panel 20, the number of parts attached to the balustrade can be reduced. Assembly work can be facilitated.

ところで以上説明の実施の形態は、乗客コンベアとして、エスカレーターを説明したが、エスカレーターに限らず、踏板に段差が生じない電動道路にも適用できるのは云うまでもない。 By the way, although embodiment described above demonstrated the escalator as a passenger conveyor, it cannot be overemphasized that it is applicable not only to an escalator but the electric road where a level | step difference does not arise in a tread.
