Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a passenger conveyor capable of preventing breakage of a slip-down prevention member, without modifying or replacing an outer deck part.SOLUTION: A passenger conveyor comprises a slip-down prevention member which is attached to an outer deck disposed between plural passenger conveyors, and receives an object slipping down on the outer deck, and a handrail, in which a side of the slip-down prevention member close to the handrail is made of an elastomer.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1

Description

  The present invention relates to a passenger conveyor.

  When there are two or more passenger conveyors such as escalators and auto lines, the outer deck is located between the adjacent passenger conveyor balustrades and is slightly lower than the handrail (moving handrail). Is provided. A plurality of anti-sliding members are provided on the slope of the outer deck in order to prevent objects from sliding down from above.

  In the passenger conveyor described in Patent Document 1, in order to prevent the passenger's luggage and the like from colliding with the slip-off preventing member and damaging the slip-off preventing member when the passenger puts the luggage on the handrail of the passenger conveyor, A technique is disclosed in which a groove portion extending in the longitudinal direction of the outer deck is formed, and the slip-preventing member is disposed in the groove portion so as to be positioned below the adjacent handrail.

JP2013-193864A

  When the above-described conventional technology is applied to an existing passenger conveyor, it is necessary to provide a groove portion, so that the entire outer deck portion needs to be modified or replaced. For this reason, there existed a problem that modification cost and work time were taken.

  An object of the present invention is to provide a passenger conveyor that prevents breakage of a slip-preventing member without modifying or replacing an outer deck portion.

  In a passenger conveyor that is attached to an outer deck provided between a plurality of passenger conveyors arranged side by side and receives an object that slides down on the outer deck, and a handrail, the passenger conveyor includes: This is achieved by using an elastic body on the side close to the handrail.

  ADVANTAGE OF THE INVENTION According to this invention, the passenger conveyor which prevents the failure | damage of a sliding-off prevention member can be provided, without modifying or replacing | exchanging an outer deck part.

The front view of the outer deck of the passenger conveyor which concerns on one Embodiment of this invention. The top view seen from the upper surface which follows the II line | wire of FIG. The figure which shows the whole passenger conveyor arranged in parallel.

  Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.

  FIG. 3 is a diagram showing the entire passenger conveyor installed. The first passenger conveyor 1a has a plurality of steps 5a that circulate and move through the entrance and exit, and a moving handrail 2a that is provided outside the step 5a in the width direction and circulates and moves through the entrance and exit in conjunction with the step 5a. .

  The second passenger conveyor 1b has a plurality of steps 5b that circulate and move through the entrance and exit, and a moving handrail 2b that is provided outside the step 5b in the width direction and circulates and moves through the entrance and exit in conjunction with the step 5b. . The moving direction of the step 5b and the moving handrail 2b may be the same direction as the step 5a and the moving handrail 2b, or may be the opposite direction to the step 5a and the moving handrail 2b.

  FIG. 1 is a front view of an outer deck portion of a passenger conveyor provided therewith. An outer deck 3 is provided between the handrail 2a of the first passenger conveyor 1a and the handrail 2b of the second passenger conveyor 1b. The upper surface of the outer deck 3 is lower than the upper part of the handrails 2a and 2b at a certain position of the inclination of the passenger conveyor 1 (1a and 1b), and the upper part of the balustrade where the handrail 2 (2a and 2b) is provided. It is almost the same height. On the outer deck 3, slip-off preventing members 4 are fixed to the upper surface of the outer deck 3 at several places along the slope of the passenger conveyor. The slip-preventing member 4 is a member for receiving an object that slides down the outer deck 3 from above the passenger conveyor 1 and preventing it from sliding downward. The slip-prevention member 4 includes a slip-prevention fitting 4a, a slip-prevention elastic material 4b, and a slip-prevention member fixing bracket 4c.

  FIG. 2 is a plan view of FIG. 1 viewed from the top along the line II. The outer deck 3 is disposed along the handrail 2a and the handrail 2b. The slip-prevention member 4 is sandwiched between a slip-prevention elastic member 4b at an approximate center of the fall-prevention elastic member 4b and fixed on the outer deck 3 by the slip-prevention member fixing bracket 4c. The sliding prevention member 4 is fixed on the outer deck 3 so that the side close to the handrail 2 is an elastic body.

  The slip-preventing elastic material 4 b is made of rubber or urethane, which is the same material as the handrail 2. The anti-sliding metal fitting 4a is made of a metal that is not easily rusted, such as stainless steel. Thereby, it is possible to improve the slip prevention performance of the passenger's luggage on the outer deck 3 simply by replacing the existing slip prevention member, and to prevent the slip prevention material from being damaged even if the passenger's luggage collides.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the width W1 between the outer surfaces of the handrail guide that guides the handrail 2 rising from the balustrade varies from 300 mm to 500 mm depending on the installation location. Further, the gap W4 between the handrail 2 and the slip-off prevention member 4 can be made as narrow as possible to obtain a slip-prevention effect, but if it is too narrow, the passenger grips the handrail 2 and gets on the passenger conveyor 1 In this case, the finger is caught when passing through the slip-preventing member 4. For this reason, the gap W4 is set to 20 mm to 50 mm. Considering both dimensions, the width W2 of the anti-sliding elastic member 4b is 200 mm to 40 mm.

  Next, the width W3 of the slip-preventing metal fitting 4a depends on the width W2 of the slip-preventing elastic member 4b. That is, if the width W3 of the anti-skid metal fitting 4a is too wide, the portion where the anti-skid elastic material 4b is exposed becomes small and does not function as an elastic body. On the contrary, if the width W3 is narrow, the anti-skid elastic material 4b Since the deflection becomes large, when a heavy object slides down from above, the force to prevent the fall becomes weak. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the width is set to 1/4 to 1/5 of the width W2 of the slip-preventing elastic material 4b. Specifically, W3 is set to 200 mm to 400 mm. As shown in FIG. 2, the thickness W5 of the slip-preventing elastic material 4b was set to 30 mm to 50 mm. This is because if it is too thick, the elasticity will be small, and if it is too thin, the anti-sliding effect will be thin.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, even if a passenger's luggage or the like placed on the handrail 2 comes into contact with the slip prevention member 4, the slip prevention member 4 is less likely to be destroyed by the elasticity of the slip prevention elastic member 4b. Moreover, even if a passenger's finger hits the slip-preventing member 4, the slip-preventing member 4 is elastically deformed, so that the possibility of damaging the finger can be considerably reduced. Moreover, since it is only necessary to replace the existing slip-preventing member with the slip-preventing member 4 according to the present embodiment, the slip-preventing member can be installed on the outer deck 3 of the existing passenger conveyor 1 without involving a large-scale construction.
