Will advance from. Then, in the upper transition curve, the step between the adjacent steps 120 is enlarged, and the plurality of steps 120 are transitioned in a step shape. Then, in the intermediate tilting portion, the plurality of steps 120 are lowered in a staircase pattern. Then, in the lower transition curve, the step between the adjacent steps 120 is reduced, and the plurality of steps 120 are changed horizontally. Then, at the lower exit (lower floor side entrance / exit 102), the plurality of steps 120 become horizontal again and enter the truss structure frame 110. Then, the plurality of steps 120 are inverted upward after entering the truss structure frame 110, and are raised horizontally on the return path side. Then, the plurality of steps 120 are inverted again, and are advanced from the inside of the truss structure frame 110 at the entrance / exit 101 on the upper floor side. In the escalator 100 that operates in the ascending direction, the above operation is reversed. As described above, at the upper floor side entrance / exit 101 and the lower floor side entrance / exit 102, the step 120 advances from the inside of the truss structure frame 110 with the tread surface on the upper surface on which the user is placed horizontal, or the truss structure frame 110.

The ratchet wheel 11 is fixed to the rotating shaft 118 of the large sprocket 116 and rotates integrally with the large sprocket 116. The ratchet wheel 11 is arranged at a distance from the large sprocket 116.

The claw member 12 is fixed to a portion of the connecting shaft 14 facing the ratchet wheel 11. The claw member 12 extends from the connecting shaft 14 in the radial direction of the connecting shaft 14. The claw member 12 is provided in a state of being separated from the ratchet wheel 11. The claw member 12 rotates in the direction toward the ratchet wheel 11 integrally with the connecting shaft 14 from a state separated from the ratchet wheel 11 (standby position, initial position) and is caught by the ratchet wheel 11 to prevent the ratchet wheel 11 from rotating. To do. This prevents the large sprocket 116 from rotating.

As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the detection unit 13 includes an arm 15, a contact body 16, and a connecting unit 17. The detection unit 13 is provided at a portion of the connecting shaft 14 facing the drive chain 112.

The arm 15 is fixed to a portion of the connecting shaft 14 facing the drive chain 112. That is, the arm 15 is fixed to the connecting shaft 14 at a distance from the claw member 12. The arm 15 extends from the connecting shaft 14 in the radial direction of the connecting shaft 14. A contact body 16 is connected to the tip end portion 15a of the arm 15 via a connecting portion 17. The arm 15 rotates integrally with the connecting shaft 14. The arm 15 is composed of a single component (member).

The contact body 16 is mounted on the drive chain 112. The contact body 16 pushes the drive chain 112 downward by its own weight. The drive chain 112 slides with respect to the contact body 16. The contact body 16 also serves as a steady rest member that stops (suppresses) the runout of the drive chain 112. The contact body 16 is also referred to as a runout suppressing member or a shoe.

As shown in FIGS. 4 to 6, in detail, the contact body 16 has a base member 20 and a contact member 21. The base member 20 has walls 20a and 20b. The wall 20a extends in a direction orthogonal to the axial direction of the connecting shaft 14. The wall 20b extends in the axial direction of the connecting shaft 14 from the end of the wall 20a on the drive chain 112 side and is located above the drive chain 112. The base member 20 is made of, for example, a metal material.

The contact member 21 is fixed to the lower surface of the wall 20b and mounted on the outer peripheral portion of the drive chain 112. That is, the contact member 21 is in contact with the outer peripheral portion of the drive chain 112.

Further, as shown in FIG. 6, the contact body 16 is provided with a hole 16c. Specifically, the wall 20a is provided with a hole 16c. The hole 16c penetrates the wall 20a in the thickness direction of the wall 20a, that is, in the axial direction of the connecting shaft 14. Further, the hole 16c is an arc-shaped elongated hole that is convex in the direction away from the connecting shaft 14. The hole 16c has an arc shape around the center C3. That is, the center C3 is the center of the arc. The longitudinal direction of the hole 16c intersects (as an example, orthogonal) the axial direction of the connecting shaft 14. The distance between the center 16ca of the hole 16c and the center C3 is the same as the distance between the rotation center C1 of the connecting shaft 14 and the rotation center C2 of the connecting shaft 18 at the connecting portion 17. The contact body 16 can be attached to the arm 15 so that the center C3 and the rotation center C1 coincide with each other. In this case, the hole 16c can be said to have an arc shape centered on the rotation center C1. The rotation centers C1 and C2 are also referred to as center lines. The shape of the hole 16c is not limited to the above. For example, the hole 16c may be a linear elongated hole or the like.

Further, the contact body 16 is provided with two female screw portions 16b. Specifically, two female screw portions 16b are provided on the wall 20a. A hole 16c is located between the two female threads 16b.

As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the connecting portion 17 connects the tip portion 15a of the arm 15 and the contact body 16. The connecting portion 17 has a connecting shaft 18 and a fixing portion 19. The connecting shaft 18 is an example of the second connecting shaft.

As shown in FIG. 4, the connecting shaft 18 is provided at the tip end portion 15a of the arm 15. The connecting shaft 18 is inserted into the hole 16c so as to be movable relative to the contact body 16 and to be rotatable relative to the contact body 16. Specifically, the connecting shaft 18 is inserted into the hole 16c so as to be movable relative to the contact body 16 in a direction intersecting the axial direction of the connecting shaft 14. Specifically, the connecting shaft 18 is inserted into the hole 16c so as to be relatively movable with the contact body 16 along the longitudinal direction of the hole 16c (the direction along the arc shape of the hole 16c).

The fixing portion 19 fixes the position of the connecting shaft 18 with respect to the hole 16c so that the relative position between the hole 16c and the connecting shaft 18 can be adjusted. Specifically, the fixing portion 19 fixes the position of the connecting shaft 18 with respect to the hole 16c so that the relative position between the hole 16c and the connecting shaft 18 in the direction intersecting the axial direction of the connecting shaft 14 can be adjusted. Specifically, the fixing portion 19 fixes the position of the connecting shaft 18 with respect to the hole 16c in the longitudinal direction of the hole 16c so that the relative position of the hole 16c and the connecting shaft 18 in the longitudinal direction of the hole 16c can be adjusted. ..

As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, in detail, the fixing portion 19 has a plate-shaped base 31, a bearing 32, and two fittings 33.

As shown in FIG. 7, the base 31 is provided with a hole 31a for the bearing 32 and two holes 31b for the fitting 33. The hole 31a penetrates the base 31 in the thickness direction of the base 31, that is, in the axial direction of the connecting shaft 14. A bearing 32 is inserted in the hole 31a. The hole 31b penetrates the base 31 in the thickness direction of the base 31, that is, in the axial direction of the connecting shaft 14. The hole 31b is formed in an arc shape (arc shape) along the hole 16c. The hole 31a is located between the two holes 31bc. A binder 33 is inserted in the hole 31b.

In the coupling tool 33 shown in FIG. 5, the coupling tool 33 is a male screw member such as a bolt or a screw. The binder 33 is coupled to the female screw portion 16b of the contact body 16 in a state of being inserted into the hole 31b of the base 31. As a result, the base 31 and the contact body 16 are fixed by the two binders 33 in a state where the base 31 and the wall 20a of the contact body 16 are overlapped with each other. Further, the coupling tool 33 can move relative to the base 31 along the longitudinal direction of the hole 31b (the direction along the arc shape of the hole 16c) in a state where the coupling tool 33 is not connected to the female screw portion 16b.

As shown in FIG. 8, the bearing 32 has a tubular portion 32a and a flange portion 32b protruding from an end portion of the tubular portion 32a. A connecting shaft 18 is inserted in the tubular portion 32a. The tubular portion 32a supports the connecting shaft 18 so as to be rotatable relative to the base 31. The bearing 32 is attached to the base 31 in a state where the tubular portion 32a is inserted into the hole 31a of the base 31 and the flange portion 32b is overlapped with the base 31. The bearing 32 is, for example, an OILES bearing. The bearing 32 may be another type of bearing.

In the emergency braking device 1 having the above configuration, when the drive chain 112 extends from the initial state, the contact body 16 moves downward while pushing the drive chain 112. As a result, the arm 15 rotates in one direction (clockwise in FIG. 2) about the connecting shaft 14. As a result, the claw member 12 rotates in one direction integrally with the arm 15 and approaches the ratchet wheel 11. That is, the detection unit 13 detects the elongation of the drive chain 112. When the drive chain 112 extends by a predetermined amount or more, that is, when the detection unit 13 detects looseness (abnormality) of the drive chain 112, the claw member 12 is caught by the ratchet wheel 11 to prevent the ratchet wheel 11 from rotating. To do. As a result, the rotation of the large sprocket 116 is blocked, and by extension, the orbital movement of the step 120 is blocked.

Here, the specifications of the drive mechanism 100a may be changed, for example. For example, the small sprocket 111 or the large sprocket 116 may be replaced with one having a different diameter. In this case, since the trajectory of the drive chain 112 changes, it is necessary to adjust the posture and position of the contact body 16 with respect to the connecting shaft 14 so that the contact body 16 of the emergency braking device 1 properly contacts the drive chain 112. is there. At this time, by holding the position of the claw member 12 with respect to the ratchet wheel 11, a predetermined responsiveness of the emergency braking device 1 is ensured. Therefore, the contact is made while holding the position (standby position) of the claw member 12. It is necessary to adjust the posture and position of the body 16.

In adjusting the posture and position of the contact body 16, the worker first removes the fitting 33 from the female screw portion 16b. Next, the worker adjusts the posture and position of the contact body 16 with respect to the connecting shaft 14 so that the contact body 16 properly contacts the drive chain 112. At this time, the connecting shaft 18 can be moved relative to the hole 16c. Then, the worker connects the coupling tool 33 to the female screw portion 16b. At this time, since the hole 31b is an arc-shaped elongated hole, the relative posture of the base 31 (connecting shaft 18) and the contact body 16 can be adjusted.

As described above, in the present embodiment, the emergency braking device 1 is provided apart from the small sprocket 111 (first sprocket) and the small sprocket 111, which are rotated by the power from the motor 105 (drive source), and the step 120. The escalator 100 (passenger conveyor) is provided with a large sprocket 116 (second sprocket) for driving the sprocket and a drive chain 112 spanned between the small sprocket 111 (first sprocket) and the large sprocket 116. ..

The connecting portion 17 is provided at the tip portion 15a and is inserted into the hole 16c so as to be relatively movable with the contact body 16 and relatively rotatable with the contact body 16 in a direction intersecting the axial direction of the connecting shaft 14 (longitudinal direction of the hole 16c). The relative positions of the connecting shaft 18 (second connecting shaft) and the connecting shaft 18 in the direction intersecting the axial direction of the connecting shaft 14 (longitudinal direction of the hole 16c) can be adjusted with respect to the hole 16c. It has a fixing portion 19 for fixing the position of the connecting shaft 18.

According to such a configuration, since it is not necessary to divide the arm 15 into a plurality of (for example, two) parts (members), the arm 15 is not complicated, and the claw member 12 is contacted while maintaining the position. The posture and position of the body 16 can be adjusted. Further, in the present embodiment, it is not necessary to increase the thickness of the arm 15 (thickness along the axial direction of the connecting shaft 14).

Here, the emergency braking device 1 is required to improve the detection accuracy of the detection unit 13. The detection accuracy of the detection unit 13 tends to improve as the rotational moment around the connecting shaft 14 acting on the tip portion 15a of the arm 15 increases. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, since the connecting portion 17 (fixing portion 19) as a structure for adjusting the posture and position of the contact body 16 is provided at the tip end portion of the arm 15, the sliding portion 17 is provided in the middle portion of the arm. The detection accuracy of the detection unit 13 can be improved as compared with the configuration provided with the structure for adjusting the posture and position of the moving body.

Further, in the present embodiment, the hole 16c has an arc shape that is convex in the direction away from the connecting shaft 14.

According to such a configuration, the contact body 16 and the connecting shaft 18 can be relatively moved along the longitudinal direction of the hole 16c.

Further, in the present embodiment, the connecting portion 17 has a bearing 32 that rotatably supports the connecting shaft 18.

According to such a configuration, wear of the connecting shaft 18 can be suppressed.

According to the above embodiment, it is possible to obtain a new configuration capable of adjusting the posture and position of the contact body 16 while holding the position of the claw member 12 while suppressing the complication of the arm 15.
