Description

  The present invention relates to a passenger conveyor provided with a main frame and a circulation moving body that is supported by the main frame and circulates between entrances and exits.

  2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a moving sidewalk having a main frame provided on a floor surface and an endless belt that is supported by the main frame and circulates between entrances and exits is known (for example, see Patent Document 1).

Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 64-17792

  However, in this case, the main frame does not have enough rigidity to be supported only at both ends, so that it can be attached between, for example, building beams formed apart using the main frame as it is. There was a problem that it was not possible.

  An object of the present invention is to solve the above-described problems, and the purpose of the present invention is, for example, even if the main frame does not have sufficient rigidity to be supported only at both ends. The present invention provides a passenger conveyor that can be mounted between building beams that are formed apart.

  Passenger conveyor according to the present invention is a passenger conveyor provided with a main frame and a circulating moving body that is supported by the main frame and circulates between the entrances and exits. A rigid truss that supports the main frame is provided.

  According to the passenger conveyor according to the present invention, the main frame is supported by the rigid truss, so even if the main frame does not have sufficient rigidity to be supported only at both ends, for example, Can be mounted between separately formed building beams.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In the drawings, the same or corresponding members and parts will be described with the same reference numerals.
Embodiment 1 FIG.
FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a moving sidewalk according to this embodiment, and FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view showing the moving sidewalk in FIG.
The moving sidewalk, which is a passenger conveyor according to this embodiment, is supported by a rigid truss 2 mounted between building beams 1 formed on different floors, and the truss 2 is entirely supported. The main frame 3 is provided with a pallet 4 that is provided in the longitudinal direction of the main frame 3 and circulates and moves between the entrances and exits.
Moreover, the main frame 3 is normally used by being placed on the floor, and does not have such rigidity that it can be supported only at both ends.

A pair of balustrades 5 are provided on the upper side of the main frame 3 along the longitudinal direction. A handrail 6 that circulates together with the pallet 4 is attached to the upper side of each balustrade 5.
A connecting member 7 that fixes the truss 2 and the main frame 3 is attached between the truss 2 and the main frame 3.

The truss 2 has a beam 2a extending inward in the horizontal direction at the top, and the main frame 3 is supported on the beam 2a.
Further, the truss 2 has a refracting portion 2b formed at both ends in the longitudinal direction, a straight portion 2c formed at an intermediate portion, and the main frame 3 is attached to the refracting portion 2b and the straight portion 2c.
A slope 8 is provided on the upper surface between each building beam 1 and the refracting portion 2b so that passengers or carts can get on and off the pallet 4 smoothly.

  As described above, according to the moving sidewalk according to this embodiment, the rigid truss 2 that supports the main frame 3 over the whole is provided between the building beams 1 formed apart. Even if it is the main frame 3 which does not have the rigidity used by being arranged on the floor and does not have the rigidity that can be supported only at both ends, it can be attached between the building beams 1 separated from each other. it can.

Note that the thickness of the truss 2 in the vertical direction may be adjusted and formed so as to have rigidity according to the distance of the building beams 1 that are separated.
Thereby, the installation space of the moving sidewalk can be used efficiently.

Embodiment 2. FIG.
FIG. 3A is a block diagram showing a moving sidewalk according to this embodiment, and FIG. 3B is an enlarged view showing both ends of the moving sidewalk in FIG. 3A.
In the moving sidewalk according to this embodiment, the main frame 3 is attached only to the straight portion 2 c of the truss 2.
A pair of protective fences 9 extending in the longitudinal direction are attached to the truss 2 between the building beam 1 and the main frame 3.
Other configurations are the same as those in the first embodiment.

  According to the moving sidewalk according to this embodiment, since the main frame 3 is supported only by the straight portion 2c of the truss 2, the main frame 3 and the pallet 4 of the moving sidewalk that are arranged on the floor are used. As it is, it can be arranged and used between the separated building beams 1.

Embodiment 3 FIG.
FIG. 4 is a block diagram of a moving sidewalk according to this embodiment, and FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view of the moving sidewalk of FIG.
The moving sidewalk according to this embodiment is arranged such that the lower side of the main frame 3 enters the inside of the truss 2. Therefore, the main frame 3 is not supported by the beam 2 a of the truss 2.
The truss 2 is formed wider than that of the first embodiment in order to enter the main frame 3 inside.
Thereby, since the height of the pallet 4 and the height of the building beam 1 can be matched on the entrance / exit side, the slope 8 is not attached to the truss 2 between the building beam 1 and the main frame 3.
Other configurations are the same as those in the first embodiment.

  According to the moving sidewalk according to this embodiment, since the lower side of the main frame 3 is arranged inside the truss 2, the height of the pallet 4 and the height of the building beam 1 can be matched. As a result, it is not necessary to attach the slope 8 to the truss 2 between the building beam 1 and the main frame 3, and the configuration can be simplified.

Embodiment 4 FIG.
FIG. 6 is an enlarged view showing a main part of the moving sidewalk according to this embodiment.
In the moving sidewalk according to this embodiment, driving means 10 for driving the pallet 4 is arranged inside the truss 2. The drive means 10 includes a drive unit 11 that supplies power to the pallet 4 and a control unit 12 that supplies power to the drive unit 11 to control it.
Other configurations are the same as those in the first embodiment.

According to the moving sidewalk according to this embodiment, since the driving means 10 for driving the pallet 4 is arranged inside the truss 2, the main frame 3 can be shortened.
Moreover, since the working space is wider inside the truss 2 to which the driving means 10 is attached than when the driving means 10 is attached to the main frame 3, maintenance or inspection of the driving means 10 can be easily performed. it can.

  In each of the above embodiments, a moving walkway is described as an example of a passenger conveyor. However, the present invention is not limited to this and may be an escalator.

  In each of the above embodiments, the pallet 4 is described as an example of the circulation moving body. However, the pallet 4 is not limited to this, and may be, for example, a rubber belt.

3 is a configuration diagram illustrating a moving sidewalk according to Embodiment 1. FIG. It is sectional drawing of the moving sidewalk of FIG. FIG. 3A is a configuration diagram showing a moving sidewalk according to the second embodiment, and FIG. 3B is an enlarged view showing both ends of the moving sidewalk in FIG. 3A. 10 is a configuration diagram illustrating a moving sidewalk according to Embodiment 3. FIG. It is sectional drawing of the moving sidewalk of FIG. It is an enlarged view which shows the principal part of the moving walk which concerns on Embodiment 4. FIG.
