以下に添付図面を参照して、実施形態にかかる乗客コンベアを詳細に説明する。なお、この実施形態により本発明が限定されるものではない。 The passenger conveyor according to the embodiment will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. The present invention is not limited to this embodiment.

(実施形態)
実施形態にかかる乗客コンベアは、例えばエスカレータ又は動く歩道であり、無端状に連結された複数の踏段の両側に透光性のパネルを有する。透光性のパネルは、優雅で審美的に楽しませる外観を有するなど、意匠性を有する。乗客コンベアでは、その意匠性を向上するために、パネルを照明することがある。
(Embodiment)
The passenger conveyor according to the embodiment is, for example, an escalator or a moving walkway, and has translucent panels on both sides of a plurality of steps connected in an endless manner. The translucent panel has a design, such as an elegant and aesthetically pleasing appearance. Passenger conveyors may illuminate panels to improve their design.

例えば、パネルに発光板を併設し、パネルの下端と発光板の下端とをそれぞれ支持するように支持部材を構成することが考えられる。この場合、パネルの照明のために、発光板に発光するための層構造を設けることに加え、発光板を追加的に支持するために支持部材の構造を大型化することになる。これにより、パネルを照明するためのコストが増大する可能性がある。また、発光板によりパネルを側方から照明すると、パネルの光り具合にむらができやすく、パネルの適切な照明が困難である。 For example, it is conceivable to provide a light emitting plate on the panel and to configure the support member so as to support the lower end of the panel and the lower end of the light emitting plate, respectively. In this case, in addition to providing a layer structure for emitting light on the light emitting plate for lighting the panel, the structure of the support member is enlarged in order to additionally support the light emitting plate. This can increase the cost of illuminating the panel. Further, when the panel is illuminated from the side by the light emitting plate, the lighting condition of the panel tends to be uneven, and it is difficult to properly illuminate the panel.

一方、パネルをガラス導光板として下方から照明できれば、パネルを全体的にむらなく光らせることができ、パネルの適切な照明が可能であり、乗客コンベアの意匠性の更なる向上が期待できる。しかし、パネルの下方には、パネルの下端を支持する支持部材があり、光源を配置することが困難である。 On the other hand, if the panel can be illuminated from below as a glass light guide plate, the panel can be illuminated evenly as a whole, the panel can be appropriately illuminated, and the design of the passenger conveyor can be expected to be further improved. However, there is a support member below the panel that supports the lower end of the panel, making it difficult to arrange the light source.

それに対して、パネルの下端を支持する支持部材を除去し、パネルの下に空洞を設け、その空洞内に光源を配置することが考えられる。この場合、パネルをデッキカバー等により側方から支持すると、パネルを安定的に支持することが困難になる。 On the other hand, it is conceivable to remove the support member that supports the lower end of the panel, provide a cavity under the panel, and arrange the light source in the cavity. In this case, if the panel is supported from the side by a deck cover or the like, it becomes difficult to stably support the panel.

そこで、本実施形態では、乗客コンベアにおいて、パネルの下端面を支持する支持部材を透光性とし、透光性の支持部材内に空洞部を設け、その空洞部内に光源を収容することで、パネルの適切な照明と安定的な支持との両立化を目指す。 Therefore, in the present embodiment, in the passenger conveyor, the support member that supports the lower end surface of the panel is made translucent, a cavity is provided in the translucent support member, and the light source is accommodated in the cavity. Aim to achieve both proper panel lighting and stable support.

具体的には、乗客コンベアにおいて、透光性のパネルの下端面を透光性の支持部材で支持させる。支持部材には、支持面と空洞部とを設ける。支持面は、パネルの下端面に沿って延び、パネルの下端面を支持する面である。空洞部は、支持面に離間しながら支持面に沿って延びた空間とする。そして、空洞部に光源を収容させる。光源は、少なくとも支持面の側に発光するように空洞部に収容させる。これにより、支持面と空洞部との間の肉厚を確保して支持部材の強度を向上でき、支持部材でパネルを安定的に支持できるとともに、支持部材を透光性とすることで光源の光を支持部材でパネル側へ導くことができる。これにより、パネルを適切に照明しつつパネルを安定的に支持することができる。すなわち、パネルの適切な照明と安定的な支持とを両立化できる。 Specifically, in the passenger conveyor, the lower end surface of the translucent panel is supported by the translucent support member. The support member is provided with a support surface and a cavity. The support surface is a surface that extends along the lower end surface of the panel and supports the lower end surface of the panel. The cavity is a space extending along the support surface while being separated from the support surface. Then, the light source is accommodated in the cavity. The light source is housed in the cavity so that it emits light at least toward the support surface. As a result, the wall thickness between the support surface and the cavity can be secured to improve the strength of the support member, the panel can be stably supported by the support member, and the support member is made translucent to make the light source Light can be guided to the panel side by the support member. As a result, the panel can be stably supported while being appropriately illuminated. That is, it is possible to achieve both appropriate lighting of the panel and stable support.

例えば、乗客コンベア1は、図1に示すように構成され得る。図1は、乗客コンベア1の概略構成を示す図である。 For example, the passenger conveyor 1 can be configured as shown in FIG. FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a schematic configuration of a passenger conveyor 1.

乗客コンベア1は、例えばエスカレータ又は動く歩道である。乗客コンベア1は、構造フレーム2の内部に、駆動輪6と従動輪7との間で無端状に連結された複数の踏段5を有する。乗客コンベア1は、駆動輪6に減速機11及び駆動チェーン9を介して電動機8から供給される動力により、複数の踏段5が駆動輪6と従動輪7との間を周回移動するよう構成される。また、乗客コンベア1では、踏段5の側方に透光性のパネル3が配される。複数の踏段5の進行方向の両脇には、複数枚のパネル3を連ねて構成されるパネル群が配されている。乗客コンベア1は、パネル群の外周に沿って環状に取り付けられた移動手すり4を有し、移動手すり4におけるパネル群の上側に位置する部分が乗客により把持されるべき欄干27として機能する。パネル3には、例えば、透光性を有する強化ガラス、又は、透光性を有する強化プラスチックが用いられ得る。乗客コンベア1は、踏段5の移動に合わせて移動手すり4も踏段5と同方向に周回移動するよう構成されている。 The passenger conveyor 1 is, for example, an escalator or a moving walkway. The passenger conveyor 1 has a plurality of steps 5 in which the driving wheels 6 and the driven wheels 7 are connected endlessly inside the structural frame 2. The passenger conveyor 1 is configured such that a plurality of steps 5 orbit between the drive wheels 6 and the driven wheels 7 by the power supplied from the electric motor 8 to the drive wheels 6 via the speed reducer 11 and the drive chain 9. To. Further, in the passenger conveyor 1, a translucent panel 3 is arranged on the side of the step 5. Panel groups composed of a plurality of panels 3 connected to each other are arranged on both sides of the plurality of steps 5 in the traveling direction. The passenger conveyor 1 has a moving handrail 4 attached in an annular shape along the outer circumference of the panel group, and the portion of the moving handrail 4 located above the panel group functions as a balustrade 27 to be gripped by passengers. For the panel 3, for example, tempered glass having translucency or tempered plastic having translucency may be used. The passenger conveyor 1 is configured so that the moving handrail 4 orbits in the same direction as the step 5 in accordance with the movement of the step 5.

複数のパネル3のそれぞれは、据付調整上及び構造上、隣接するパネル3との間には数ミリメートルの隙間26を設ける必要がある。そのため、パネル3は、例えば、デッキカバー10の上面より下方に位置しデッキカバー10内に収納されるパネル3の下端(図2参照)において、支持部材35により下方から支持される。支持部材35は、1つのパネル3とその隣接するパネル3とを所定量の隙間26(たとえば4ミリ)が設けられた状態で略鉛直方向に沿って立てられた姿勢で支持する。支持部材35は、図1に示されるように、複数のパネル3を含むパネル群の下端に沿って長尺状に延びていてもよい。支持部材35には、透光性を有する樹脂(例えば、透明なプラスチックなど)が用いられ得る。 Each of the plurality of panels 3 needs to be provided with a gap 26 of several millimeters from the adjacent panels 3 in terms of installation adjustment and structure. Therefore, for example, the panel 3 is supported from below by the support member 35 at the lower end (see FIG. 2) of the panel 3 located below the upper surface of the deck cover 10 and housed in the deck cover 10. The support member 35 supports one panel 3 and its adjacent panel 3 in a posture of being erected along a substantially vertical direction with a predetermined amount of gap 26 (for example, 4 mm) provided. As shown in FIG. 1, the support member 35 may extend in an elongated shape along the lower end of the panel group including the plurality of panels 3. A translucent resin (for example, transparent plastic) can be used for the support member 35.

支持部材35は、踏段5の進行方向に沿った方向を長手方向とし、その長手方向に延びた空洞部を有し、その空洞部内に光源36(図3参照)を収容している。各支持部材35に収容された光源36には、光源用電源31が電気的に接続され、光源用電源31から電源電力が供給可能になっている。光源36は、例えば、LED(Light Emission Diode)、LD(Laser Diode)等の発光素子であってもよい。 The support member 35 has a cavity extending in the longitudinal direction with the direction along the traveling direction of the step 5 as the longitudinal direction, and the light source 36 (see FIG. 3) is housed in the cavity. A light source power source 31 is electrically connected to the light source 36 housed in each support member 35, and power source power can be supplied from the light source power source 31. The light source 36 may be, for example, a light emitting element such as an LED (Light Mission Diode) or an LD (Laser Diode).

次に、パネル3及び支持部材35の具体的な構成について図2を用いて説明する。図2は、パネル3及び支持部材35の構成を示す断面図であり、図1をA−A線に沿って切断した場合の断面を示す。図2では、鉛直方向をZ方向とし、Z方向に垂直な面内で踏段5の進行方向に沿った方向をX方向とし、Z方向及びX方向に直交する方向をY方向とする。 Next, a specific configuration of the panel 3 and the support member 35 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view showing the configurations of the panel 3 and the support member 35, and shows a cross-sectional view when FIG. 1 is cut along the line AA. In FIG. 2, the vertical direction is the Z direction, the direction along the traveling direction of the step 5 in the plane perpendicular to the Z direction is the X direction, and the Z direction and the direction orthogonal to the X direction are the Y direction.

パネル3は、−Y側の主面3a、+Y側の主面3b、−Z側の端面3cを有する。デッキカバー10は、踏段5の側部を閉塞するスカートガード32に例えば+Y側で固定されている。スカートガード32の−Y側には、ブラケット33が固定されている。ブラケット33は、例えば、ステンレスなどの金属で形成されている。支持部材35は、パネル3の−Z側の端面3cとブラケット33の+Z側の表面との間に配されている。これにより、支持部材35は、パネル3を、少なくとも−Z側の端面3cを介して−Z側から支持する。また、パネル3及びブラケット33の間で伝達され得る応力を支持部材35で緩和することができる。 The panel 3 has a main surface 3a on the −Y side, a main surface 3b on the + Y side, and an end surface 3c on the −Z side. The deck cover 10 is fixed to the skirt guard 32 that closes the side portion of the step 5 on the + Y side, for example. A bracket 33 is fixed to the −Y side of the skirt guard 32. The bracket 33 is made of a metal such as stainless steel. The support member 35 is arranged between the end surface 3c on the −Z side of the panel 3 and the surface on the + Z side of the bracket 33. As a result, the support member 35 supports the panel 3 from the −Z side at least via the end surface 3c on the −Z side. Further, the stress that can be transmitted between the panel 3 and the bracket 33 can be relaxed by the support member 35.

パネル3の端面3cの付近には、パネル3のY方向両側にカバー34が主面3a,3bに沿って配されている。カバー34は、例えば、ステンレスなどの金属で形成されている。支持部材35は、少なくともその一部がパネル3とカバー34との間に介在していてもよい。これにより、パネル3及びカバー34の間で伝達され得る応力を支持部材35で緩和することができる。 In the vicinity of the end surface 3c of the panel 3, covers 34 are arranged on both sides of the panel 3 in the Y direction along the main surfaces 3a and 3b. The cover 34 is made of a metal such as stainless steel. At least a part of the support member 35 may be interposed between the panel 3 and the cover 34. As a result, the stress that can be transmitted between the panel 3 and the cover 34 can be relaxed by the support member 35.

より具体的には、支持部材35は、図3及び図4に示すように構成され得る。図3は、支持部材35の構成を示す拡大断面図であり、図2におけるB部分を拡大したZY断面図である。図4は、支持部材35の構成を示す斜視図である。 More specifically, the support member 35 may be configured as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4. FIG. 3 is an enlarged cross-sectional view showing the configuration of the support member 35, and is a ZY cross-sectional view in which the portion B in FIG. 2 is enlarged. FIG. 4 is a perspective view showing the configuration of the support member 35.

支持部材35は、ZY断面視において、略逆等脚台形状を有するとともに、概ねX方向を長手方向とする略角柱形状を有している。支持部材35は、支持面35a、保持部35b、保持部35c、空洞部35d、底面35e、側面35f、及び側面35gを有する。 The support member 35 has a substantially inverted isosceles trapezoidal shape in a ZY cross-sectional view, and also has a substantially prismatic shape with the X direction as the longitudinal direction. The support member 35 has a support surface 35a, a holding portion 35b, a holding portion 35c, a cavity portion 35d, a bottom surface 35e, a side surface 35f, and a side surface 35g.

支持面35aは、図3に示すように、パネル3が設置された状態で、パネル3の−Z側に位置し、端面3cに沿ってXY方向に延びている。支持面35aは、−Y側に端縁35a1を有し、+Y側に端縁35a2を有する。支持面35aは、パネル3の端面3cを−Z側から支持する。パネル3の端面3cが平坦である場合、それに対応して、支持面35aは、図4に示すように、平坦であってもよい。支持面35aは、パネル3の端面3cに接触して、パネル3の端面3cを−Z側から支持してもよい。これにより、支持部材35は、パネル3を安定的に支持することができる。 As shown in FIG. 3, the support surface 35a is located on the −Z side of the panel 3 with the panel 3 installed, and extends in the XY direction along the end surface 3c. The support surface 35a has an edge 35a1 on the −Y side and an edge 35a2 on the + Y side. The support surface 35a supports the end surface 3c of the panel 3 from the −Z side. When the end surface 3c of the panel 3 is flat, the support surface 35a may be correspondingly flat as shown in FIG. The support surface 35a may come into contact with the end surface 3c of the panel 3 to support the end surface 3c of the panel 3 from the −Z side. As a result, the support member 35 can stably support the panel 3.

保持部35bは、支持面35aの端縁35a1から+Z側に突出しつつ概ねX方向に延びている。保持部35bにおける+Y側の側面35b2は、概ねZX方向に延び、パネル3の主面3aに接触して、パネル3の主面3aを−Y側から保持してもよい。これにより、保持部35bは、パネル3を安定的に保持できる。 The holding portion 35b extends in the X direction while projecting from the edge 35a1 of the support surface 35a toward the + Z side. The + Y side side surface 35b2 of the holding portion 35b may extend substantially in the ZX direction and come into contact with the main surface 3a of the panel 3 to hold the main surface 3a of the panel 3 from the −Y side. As a result, the holding portion 35b can stably hold the panel 3.

同様に、保持部35cは、支持面35aの端縁35a2から+Z側に突出しつつ概ねX方向に延びている。保持部35cは、支持面35aの端縁35a2からパネル3の主面3bに沿って延びている。保持部35cにおける−Y側の側面35c2は、概ねZX方向に延び、パネル3の主面3bに接触して、パネル3の主面3bを+Y側から保持してもよい。これにより、保持部35cは、パネル3を安定的に保持できる。 Similarly, the holding portion 35c extends substantially in the X direction while projecting from the edge 35a2 of the support surface 35a toward the + Z side. The holding portion 35c extends from the edge 35a2 of the support surface 35a along the main surface 3b of the panel 3. The side surface 35c2 on the −Y side of the holding portion 35c may extend substantially in the ZX direction and come into contact with the main surface 3b of the panel 3 to hold the main surface 3b of the panel 3 from the + Y side. As a result, the holding portion 35c can stably hold the panel 3.

保持部35bにおける−Y側の側面35b1は、概ねZX方向に延び、パネル3の主面3aに沿って延びている。側面35fは、概ねZX方向に延び、ブラケット33に近づくほど徐々に+Y方向にシフトするように傾斜している。カバー34は、−Y側のカバー341及び+Y側のカバー342を有する。保持部35bにおける−Y側の側面35b1と側面35fとは、それぞれ、+Y側からカバー341に接触していてもよい。これにより、パネル3とカバー341との間で伝達され得る応力を支持部材35で安定的に緩和できる。 The −Y side side surface 35b1 of the holding portion 35b extends substantially in the ZX direction and extends along the main surface 3a of the panel 3. The side surface 35f extends substantially in the ZX direction and is inclined so as to gradually shift in the + Y direction as it approaches the bracket 33. The cover 34 has a cover 341 on the −Y side and a cover 342 on the + Y side. The side surface 35b1 on the −Y side and the side surface 35f of the holding portion 35b may be in contact with the cover 341 from the + Y side, respectively. As a result, the stress that can be transmitted between the panel 3 and the cover 341 can be stably relaxed by the support member 35.

保持部35cにおける+Y側の側面35c1は、概ねZX方向に延び、パネル3の主面3aに沿って延びている。側面35gは、概ねZX方向に延び、ブラケット33に近づくほど徐々に−Y方向にシフトするように傾斜している。保持部35cにおける+Y側の側面35c1と側面35gとは、−Y側からカバー342に接触していてもよい。これにより、パネル3とカバー342との間で伝達され得る応力を支持部材35で安定的に緩和できる。 The + Y side side surface 35c1 of the holding portion 35c extends substantially in the ZX direction and extends along the main surface 3a of the panel 3. The side surface 35g extends substantially in the ZX direction and is inclined so as to gradually shift in the −Y direction as it approaches the bracket 33. The + Y side side surface 35c1 and the side surface 35g of the holding portion 35c may be in contact with the cover 342 from the −Y side. As a result, the stress that can be transmitted between the panel 3 and the cover 342 can be stably relaxed by the support member 35.

底面35eは、概ねXY方向に延び、ブラケット33の+Z側の面に配されている。底面35eは、ブラケット33の+Z側の面に接触していてもよい。 The bottom surface 35e extends substantially in the XY direction and is arranged on the + Z side surface of the bracket 33. The bottom surface 35e may be in contact with the + Z side surface of the bracket 33.

空洞部35dは、ZY断面視において、略円形状又は略楕円形状を有し、X方向を長手方向とする概ね略円柱形状又は略楕円柱形状を有している。図3、図4では、ZY断面視において空洞部35dが略楕円形状である構成が例示されている。空洞部35dは、支持面35aから離間しながら支持面35aに沿って概ねX方向に延びている。これにより、支持部材35は、支持面35aと空洞部35dとの間にパネル3を支持可能な所定の肉厚を有する。空洞部35dには、下地部材38、基板37、光源36がそれぞれ収容されている。空洞部35dのZY断面における最大幅は、基板37のZY断面における最大幅に対応している。空洞部35dのY方向における最大幅は、基板37のY方向における最大幅にマージンを加えた分で若干長くなっている。 The cavity 35d has a substantially circular shape or a substantially elliptical shape in a ZY cross-sectional view, and has a substantially cylindrical shape or a substantially elliptical pillar shape with the X direction as the longitudinal direction. In FIGS. 3 and 4, a configuration in which the cavity 35d has a substantially elliptical shape in a ZY cross-sectional view is illustrated. The cavity 35d extends substantially in the X direction along the support surface 35a while being separated from the support surface 35a. As a result, the support member 35 has a predetermined wall thickness capable of supporting the panel 3 between the support surface 35a and the cavity portion 35d. The base member 38, the substrate 37, and the light source 36 are housed in the cavity 35d. The maximum width of the cavity 35d in the ZY cross section corresponds to the maximum width of the substrate 37 in the ZY cross section. The maximum width of the cavity 35d in the Y direction is slightly longer by adding a margin to the maximum width of the substrate 37 in the Y direction.

空洞部35dでは、−Z側から+Z側に、下地部材38、基板37、光源36が順に配されている。下地部材38は、−Z側の面の形状が空洞部35dの内面に対応した形状で構成されてもよく、+Z側の面が平坦であってもよい。これにより、下地部材38は、基板37に対して平坦面を提供できる。基板37は、下地部材38の+Z側の面に配される。基板37は、例えばフレキシブル基板であり、X方向に延びた長尺状の基板であってもよい。光源36は、基板37の+Z側の面に配されている。光源36は、基板37の+Z側の面に、X方向に所定間隔で配される図示しない複数のチップ状の発光素子を含んでもよい。これにより、光源36は、X方向に沿って均等にパネル3側に光を出射できる。 In the cavity 35d, the base member 38, the substrate 37, and the light source 36 are arranged in this order from the −Z side to the + Z side. The base member 38 may be configured such that the shape of the surface on the −Z side corresponds to the inner surface of the cavity 35d, or the surface on the + Z side may be flat. Thereby, the base member 38 can provide a flat surface with respect to the substrate 37. The substrate 37 is arranged on the + Z side surface of the base member 38. The substrate 37 is, for example, a flexible substrate, and may be a long substrate extending in the X direction. The light source 36 is arranged on the + Z side surface of the substrate 37. The light source 36 may include a plurality of chip-shaped light emitting elements (not shown) arranged at predetermined intervals in the X direction on the + Z side surface of the substrate 37. As a result, the light source 36 can evenly emit light toward the panel 3 along the X direction.

例えば、光源36は、少なくとも+Z側に発光面を有する。光源36は、光源用電源31(図1参照)から電源電力が供給された際に発光する。光源36から出射された光は、点線の矢印で示すように、空洞部35dの気体を経て、透光性の支持部材35を通り、主として、支持面35aから透光性のパネル3へ入射される。これにより、パネル3を−Z側から均等に照明することができる。 For example, the light source 36 has a light emitting surface at least on the + Z side. The light source 36 emits light when power is supplied from the light source power supply 31 (see FIG. 1). As shown by the dotted arrow, the light emitted from the light source 36 passes through the gas in the cavity 35d, passes through the translucent support member 35, and is mainly incident on the translucent panel 3 from the support surface 35a. To. As a result, the panel 3 can be evenly illuminated from the −Z side.
