Description

  Embodiments of the present invention relate to a handrail belt sterilizer for a passenger conveyor and a passenger conveyor.

  Conventionally, when cleaning the handrails of passenger conveyors, cleaning with a rag has been performed. In cleaning the handrail with a rag, it may not be possible to sterilize the handrail, and thus the user may avoid touching the handrail. Therefore, sterilization of handrails by irradiation of deep ultraviolet rays with a deep ultraviolet LED module and sterilization of handrails by application of chemicals have been proposed (for example, Patent Document 1).

  However, in addition to the deep ultraviolet LED module, it is necessary to load chemicals in the passenger conveyor, and there is a problem that workability is deteriorated due to an increase in inspection items during maintenance. Further, sterilization of handrails by applying chemicals has a problem that there is a risk of liquid leakage.

(First embodiment)
Hereinafter, the structure of the handrail belt sterilizer 51 for passenger conveyor of this embodiment is demonstrated using FIGS.

  FIG. 2 is a layout diagram of the sterilization unit 511 of the handrail belt sterilizer 51 according to the first embodiment. As shown in FIG. 2, the sterilizing unit 511 is provided inside the skirt guard 44 of the passenger conveyor 10 and sterilizes the surface of the handrail belt 38 that travels inside the skirt guard 44.

  As an example, the sterilization unit 511 may be installed at at least one of the upper floor end portion and the lower floor end portion of the skirt guard 44 as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2.

  When the sterilizing part 511 is provided on the outlet side of the handrail belt 38 among the upper end part or the lower floor end part of the skirt guard 44, the sterilized handrail belt 38 is immediately attached from the inlet part 46 (48). Can be injected and is effective.

  FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view of the handrail belt 38 and the sterilizing unit 511 between A and A ′ in FIG. 2. The distance between the handrail belt 38 and the sterilizing part 511 is about 150 mm. As shown in FIG. 3, the sterilizing unit 511 sterilizes the surface of the handrail belt 38, that is, the surface on which the passenger attaches a hand by irradiating ultraviolet rays (arrows in FIG. 3). In addition, as shown in FIG. 3, you may arrange | position sterilization part 511R, 511L so that the handrail belt 38 may be enclosed.

  FIG. 4 is a block diagram of a configuration of the handrail belt sterilizer 51 (broken line portion in FIG. 4) according to the first embodiment. The handrail belt sterilizer 51 of the present embodiment includes a sterilization unit 511, a sterilization control unit 512, and a notification unit 59. The handrail belt sterilizer 51 may include a timer 513 that acquires a time based on sterilization by the sterilization unit 511. The timer 513 may be incorporated in the sterilization control unit 512 or may be provided separately from the sterilization control unit 512.

  The sterilization control unit 512 receives operation speed information of the passenger conveyor 10 from the control unit 50. When the operation speed information is switched from the normal operation to the low-speed operation (non-normal operation), the sterilization control unit 512 transmits a signal for performing the sterilization process to the sterilization unit 511 and causes the notification unit 59 to notify the sterilization information. In the present embodiment, the notification unit 59 is the speakers 54 and 58, and the notification unit 59 notifies the information based on the sterilization performed by the sterilization unit 511 by voice.

  As an example, the notification of information based on the sterilization by the speakers 54 and 58 may be made by voice notification that “the handrail is currently being sterilized.”

  FIG. 5 is a flowchart of processing of the handrail belt sterilizer 51 according to the first embodiment. Hereinafter, the processing procedure of the handrail belt sterilizer 51 according to the present embodiment will be described in detail with reference to FIG.

  The sterilization control unit 512 determines whether the passenger conveyor 10 is operating at a low speed (step S100). When the passenger conveyor 10 is not operating at a low speed (NO in step S100), that is, when it is a normal operation, it is determined whether the passenger conveyor 10 is operating at a low speed as needed (step S100).

  When the passenger conveyor 10 is operating at low speed (YES in step S100), the sterilization control unit 512 causes the sterilization unit 511 to perform sterilization processing (step S101). Then, the sterilization control unit 512 causes the notification unit 59 (speakers 54 and 58) to notify sterilization information (information based on sterilization) (step S102).

  The sterilization control unit 512 determines whether the passenger conveyor 10 has switched from the low speed operation to the normal operation (step S103). When the passenger conveyor 10 has not switched to the normal operation (NO in step S103), that is, the low speed When it is driving, the sterilization process is continued (step S101).

  When the passenger conveyor 10 switches to normal operation (YES in step S103), the sterilization control unit 512 causes the sterilization unit 511 to end the sterilization process (step S104).

(Modification of the first embodiment)
The modification of 1st Embodiment alert | reports the information (time information) about the time of sterilization to the alerting | reporting part 59. FIG. In this modification, the handrail belt sterilizer 51 has a timer 513. In FIG. 4, the sterilization control unit 512 acquires from the timer 513 the time when the sterilization unit 511 is sterilized. Further, when the passenger conveyor 10 is switched from the low speed operation (non-normal operation) to the normal operation, the sterilization control unit 512 causes the sterilization unit 511 to end the sterilization process, and acquires the time at this time from the timer 513.

  FIG. 6 is a flowchart of processing of the handrail belt sterilizer 51 according to this modification. Hereinafter, the processing procedure of the handrail belt sterilizer 51 according to the modification of the first embodiment will be described in detail with reference to FIG. However, steps S100 to S104 in FIG. 6 are the same processes as those in the flowchart of FIG.

  The sterilization control unit 512 determines whether the passenger conveyor 10 is operating at a low speed, and when the passenger conveyor 10 is operating at a low speed (YES in Step S100), causes the timer 513 to acquire the time when the sterilization process is started (Step S100). S200). Then, after performing the sterilization process (step S101) and the sterilization information notification process (step S102), the sterilization control unit 512 determines whether the passenger conveyor 10 has switched from the low speed operation to the normal operation (step S103). . When the passenger conveyor 10 switches to normal operation (YES in step S103), the sterilization control unit 512 causes the sterilization unit 511 to end the sterilization process (step S104), and the timer 513 ends the sterilization process. Is acquired (step S201). The sterilization control unit 512 causes the notification unit 59 (speakers 54 and 58) to notify the time information (step S202). The acquisition process (step S200) of the start time of the sterilization process and the acquisition process (step S201) of the end time of the sterilization process are time information acquisition processes.

  The notification of time information is to notify the time when the sterilization process is started and the time when the sterilization process is performed. As an example, it may be notified by voice such as “This handrail of this escalator has been sterilized from 1:30 to 5 minutes”.

  As described above, the handrail belt sterilization apparatus for passenger conveyors according to the present embodiment enables sterilization of handrails using the deep ultraviolet LED module, and can prompt the user to grasp the handrail by recognizing the sterilization process.
